Ireland's McGregor, 27, won the UFC featherweight belt with a 13-second win over Jose Aldo in December - and is being allowed to keep that title.
He aims to alternate between each weight, fighting for both belts.
The Dos Anjos fight will take place at Las Vegas' MGM Grand, the venue of the Dubliner's win over Aldo.
McGregor wrote on Facebook after the announcement that he will "behead" the Brazilian, who won the title in March 2015.
The other headline fight on the UFC 197 card sees women's bantamweight champion Holly Holm defend her belt against Miesha Tate.
Holm caused a major shock when she beat Ronda Rousey to win the title in November.
In May, the IRS said it discovered the data of 114,000 US taxpayers had been illegally accessed through the "Get Transcript" page since January 2014.
A review conducted by the agency has revealed over 700,000 people affected.
The agency said it was moving quickly to notify those people and would begin mailing notices by the end of February.
In a statement, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said the agency was "committed to protecting taxpayers on multiple fronts".
The IRS said it found a further 295,000 taxpayer accounts were targeted, but not accessed by cyber criminals.
In May, the IRS said it had uncovered criminals using personal information collected elsewhere, to access taxpayers "Get Transcript" application on the IRS website.
"Get Transcript" allows individuals to see information from previous years' tax returns.
The application was shut down after the agency discovered the cyberattack.
Ian Fleming's famous femme fatale is back in Anthony Horowitz's new official Bond novel, Trigger Mortis.
The bestselling author has revealed his new 007 adventure begins in 1957, two weeks after the end of Fleming's original novel Goldfinger.
The book, out on 8 September, is set against the backdrop of the Soviet-American space race.
As well as Pussy Galore - played by Honor Blackman in 1964's Goldfinger film - the new book features a new Bond girl called Jeopardy Lane and Jai Seung Sin, a "sadistic, scheming" Korean adversary.
Trigger Mortis will begin with an original Fleming idea - a motor racing scene written for an unmade TV series.
Horowitz said: "It was always my intention to go back to the true Bond, which is to say, the Bond that Fleming created and it was a fantastic bonus having some original, unseen material from the master to launch my story."
He went on: "I was so glad that I was allowed to set the book two weeks after my favourite Bond novel, Goldfinger, and I'm delighted that Pussy Galore is back!
"It was great fun revisiting the most famous Bond girl of all - although she is by no means the only dangerous lady in Trigger Mortis.
"I hope fans enjoy it. My aim was to make this the most authentic James Bond novel anyone could have written."
William Boyd, Jeffery Deaver and Sebastian Faulks are among the authors in recent years to have written officially-sanctioned books since Fleming's death in 1964.
Fleming's niece, Lucy, said: "Anthony has written a James Bond book with a nail-biting adventure that could have come from Ian's own typewriter."
Ajay Chowdhury, from the James Bond International Fan Club, said news of the new book was "a gift" for fans of 007.
"Bond fans will be excited for a number of reasons," he said.
"Firstly, the title is evocative of the clever yet deadly Fleming play on words. Secondly, with its use of previous Fleming notes and Pussy Galore... the novel promises to be rich in period detail and action and stay true to the original spirit of the classic novels."
Horowitz's prolific output includes the teen spy series, Alex Rider, which has sold more than 19 million copies.
He has written two official Sherlock Holmes novels - The House of Silk and Moriarty - and as a TV screenwriter he created Midsomer Murders, Foyle's War and Crime Traveller.
Scrum-halves Charlie Mulchrone (Harlequins) and JB Bruzulier (Nevers) and centres Heath Stevens (London Welsh) and Andy Symons (London Irish) have already found other clubs.
Forwards Darren O'Shea (Munster) and Ben Sowrey (Newcastle) also move on.
And the club has already said that long-serving centre Alex Grove will go.
But another centre, Ravai Fatiaki, will also leave, along with hooker Dan George, prop Joe Rees, flanker Mat Gilbert and lock Dan Sanderson
"I'd like to go on record in thanking all the departing players for their efforts during their time at the club," said Ryan.
Warriors, relegated in Ryan's first season in charge, then promoted back up from the Championship a year ago, will finish the season 10th in the Premiership.
Worcester Warriors have so far have made five new signings for the 2016-17 season, headed by rugby league convert Ben Te'o.
They will also be bringing in another centre, New-Zealand-born Jackson Willison from French side Grenoble.
They have also signed three forwards, South Africa-born Northampton hooker Matt Williams, Bath lock Will Spencer and Bristol flanker Marco Mama.
In addition, South African scrum-half Francois Hougaard has completed a move on a three-year contract, having initially signed on loan.
The 31-year-old cancelled out Eva de Goede's penalty with three minutes left to clinch the two-match series 1-0.
Great Britain had beaten the Dutch 2-1 in Tuesday's opener.
"We can come away feeling very positive and know that we still have good growth to come," said head coach Danny Kerr.
"I'm very proud of how the girls have been on the front foot in both matches despite it being an anxious time around selection for the Champions Trophy and the Olympics."
Great Britain, the Netherlands, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and United States will compete for the Champions Trophy, which gets under way in London on 18 June.
The Olympics in Rio, Brazil, begin on 5 August.
Mating with Neanderthals and another ancient group called Denisovans introduced genes that help us cope with viruses to this day, they conclude.
Previous research had indicated that prehistoric interbreeding led to up to 4% of the modern human genome.
The new work identifies stretches of DNA derived from our distant relatives.
In the human immune system, the HLA (human leucocyte antigen) family of genes plays an important role in defending against foreign invaders such as viruses.
The authors say that the origins of some HLA class 1 genes are proof that our ancient relatives interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans for a period.
At least one variety of HLA gene occurs frequently in present day populations from West Asia, but is rare in Africans.
The researchers say that is because after ancient humans left Africa some 65,000 years ago, they started breeding with their more primitive relations in Europe, while those who stayed in Africa did not.
"The HLA genes that the Neanderthals and Denisovans had, had been adapted to life in Europe and Asia for several hundred thousand years, whereas the recent migrants from Africa wouldn't have had these genes," said study leader Peter Parham from Stanford University School of Medicine in California.
"So getting these genes by mating would have given an advantage to populations that acquired them."
When the team looked at a variant of HLA called HLA-B*73 found in modern humans, they found evidence that it came from cross-breeding with Denisovans.
While Neanderthal remains have been found in many sites across Europe and Asia, Denisovans are known from only a finger and a tooth unearthed at a single site in Russia, though genetic evidence suggests they ranged further afield.
"Our analysis is all done from one individual, and what's remarkable is how informative that has been and how our data looking at these selected genes is very consistent and complementary with the whole genome-wide analysis that was previously published," said Professor Parham.
A similar scenario was found with HLA gene types in the Neanderthal genome.
"We are finding frequencies in Asia and Europe that are far greater than the whole genome estimates of archaic DNA in modern humans, which is 1-6%," said Professor Parham.
The scientists estimate that Europeans owe more than half their variants of one class of HLA gene to interbreeding with Neanderthals and Denisovans.
Asians owe up to 80%, and Papua New Guineans up to 95%.
Other scientists, while agreeing that humans and other ancients interbred, are less certain about the evidence of impacts on our immune system.
"I'm cautious about the conclusions because the HLA system is so variable in living people," commented John Hawks, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, US.
"It is difficult to align ancient genes in this part of the genome.
"Also, we don't know what the value of these genes really was, although we can hypothesise that they are related to the disease environment in some way."
While the genes we received might be helping us stay a step ahead of viruses to this day, the Neanderthals did not do so well out of their encounters with modern human ancestors, disappearing completely some 30,000 years ago.
Peter Parham suggested a parallel could be drawn between the events of this period and the European conquest of the Americas.
"Initially you have small bands of Europeans exploring, having a difficult time and making friends with the natives; but as they establish themselves, they become less friendly and more likely to take over their resources and eliminate them.
"Modern experiences reflect the past, and vice versa."
Police with thermal imaging equipment and sniffer dogs found them among bumper cars and a ghost train, waiting to board a ferry to mainland Spain.
Spanish media reports say most of the group were Moroccans, the others Algerian. They included nine children.
Police also clashed with about 1,000 migrants at the Ceuta-Morocco border.
Ceuta and Melilla - both small Spanish territories in North Africa - have become magnets for African migrants hoping to reach Spain.
Most are fleeing poverty and violence in sub-Saharan Africa - but many are not from war zones.
In the latest clash, migrants threw stones and sticks at police who stopped them before they could scale the Ceuta border fence.
It came a day after 187 migrants out of a crowd of about 300 managed to get into Ceuta.

Child migrant’s body sparks soul searching
During the inspection of fairground lorries Spanish police were assisted by Portuguese and Swedish police officers.
The migrants were detained at Ceuta port, before the lorries boarded the ferry for Algeciras.
Ceuta is surrounded by two parallel six-metre (20ft) security fences topped with razor wire.
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.
Winger Piero Mingoia marked his own debut with Cambridge's goal, stabbing Blair Adams' low cross from the left into the roof of the net after 61 minutes after a quick move that also involved Luke Berry and Harrison Dunk.
Barnet struck back 15 minutes from time, Nicholls cutting inside and firing a fine finish beyond Will Norris after fellow substitute Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro's pass.
In the first half Dunk prodded over after Max Clark's corner fell to him and Joe Pigott blazed over after being fed by James Dunne. Luke Berry powered a free-kick narrowly over, while just before scoring Mingoia hit a swerving effort that also went over.
Barnet's best chances before their goal came through full back Elliott Johnson, whose effort was swept off the line by Tom Dallison, while Leon Legge's fine block denied Akpa Akpro.

Those returning from the Egyptian resort after then will have to fly on planes without "enhanced UK security measures", the Foreign Office said.
The government suspended flights from the Egyptian resort from 4-6 November.
The decision was made amid fears the Sinai plane crash on 31 October may have been caused by a terrorist bomb.
All 224 people were killed when the Airbus 321, which had been flying from Sharm el-Sheikh to St Petersburg, crashed into the Sinai desert.
UK investigators believe a bomb was put in the hold of the plane prior to take-off.
The government has since been working with airlines to improve security on flights returning from the resort's airport to the UK, with new measures including transporting hold baggage on separate planes.
But it said the last of these flights would depart on Tuesday after which holidaymakers would have to make alternative arrangements to get home.
All UK airlines have suspended flights from the UK to Sharm el-Sheikh.
A statement from the Foreign Office, which is advising against all but essential air travel to or from the resort, said: "This may involve having to travel with an airline to which enhanced UK security measures, for example separate baggage flights, do not apply.
"Travellers are advised that they do so at their own risk."
The government said it expected the backlog of Britons stuck in Sharm el-Sheikh to be cleared "by the end of the weekend".
It said extra flights had been organised to ensure all Britons could leave "while current security measures for UK airlines are in place".
The government said airlines had "assured us that they have sufficient capacity" to fly all British tourists home by the end of Tuesday and "fewer than 200" of their passengers would remain in Sharm el-Sheikh after that.
A Department for Transport spokesman added these people would be those who had chosen to stay.
More than 13,000 passengers have been brought home since flights restarted on 6 November.
Some 20,000 British nationals were thought to be in the resort at the time of the crash.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond previously said the backlog of UK tourists waiting to leave would be cleared by the end of this week.
The UK government has confirmed the change as peers prepare for one of the final Wales Bill parliamentary debates.
It means ministers in Wales will get responsibility for licensing gaming machines where the maximum stake is more than £10.
Wales Office Minister Lord Bourne said in November he was prepared to consider the change.
But campaigners say the move does not go far enough as it only applies to new licences and not existing machines, and fear any ban could open the Welsh Government up to a "minefield" of legal challenges.
The Campaign for Fairer Gambling estimates customers in Wales lost over £50m on fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) between September 2014-15.
The terminals feature games including roulette, bingo, simulated greyhound and horse racing and slot machines, where people can gamble as much as £100 per spin, in theory every 20 seconds.
Adrian Parkinson, of the campaign, said he had seen people lose thousands of pounds in just a few hours playing roulette on the machines.
Mr Parkinson, who worked in the industry for 26 years, described customers going bankrupt, losing their jobs and homes, through their addiction to the terminals.
"When they are playing on the FOBTs it is just them and the machine, they get in the zone," he said.
"If you are playing five times faster than in a casino, you are going to lose money five times faster."
Betting shops are restricted to four machines in each shop, but critics say that had led to clusters of shops as companies try to increase the number of the terminals on the high street.
Mr Parkinson said the new licensing powers could see the Welsh Government or Welsh local authorities face legal challenges if they tried to impose further limits on new terminals - costing the taxpayer potentially tens of thousands of pounds.
"They look at this as if it is a power for the Welsh people, it is not, it's a potential minefield," he said.
But a spokesman for the Association of British Bookmakers said betting shops in Wales were the "safest place" to gamble as they were the most highly regulated retailer on the high street.
"No betting shop in Wales can open with a licence from their local authority, and must abide by over 90 pages of regulations," he said.
Labour said the U-turn followed pressure from its peers, who had highlighted "one of the most addictive and problematic forms of gambling" during the Wales Bill's passage through the House of Lords.
But the party said the new law should apply to existing machines, not just new ones, and that the maximum stake involved should be £2 not £10.
The party estimated there were more than 1,500 fixed-odds betting terminals in Wales with more than £1.6bn staked annually.
Shadow Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens MP said: "This is an important victory to help stop out of control gambling that can ruin lives.
"Responsible gambling can be harmless fun, but these machines which have been dubbed 'the crack cocaine of gambling' are causing real and lasting damage."
Labour has claimed FOBTs are highly addictive, allowing players to stake up to £100 every 20 seconds, compared to the £2 maximum bet on a fruit machine.
Labour AM Baroness Morgan added: "We cannot yet say whether we are satisfied with the bill, as much will rest on the Welsh Government's ability to land a decent deal with the Treasury - expected later this month.
"Ultimately the decision as to whether the Wales Bill is acceptable or not will lie with the assembly who are expected to vote on the matter in mid-January.
"We hope however that we will be sending the bill to the assembly in a better shape than when it arrived with us in the Lords."
The Association of British Bookmakers have been asked to comment.
In October, the UK government announced a review of FOTBs amid concern about their attraction to vulnerable people.
Powers over water, fishing vessels and the right to be consulted over coastguard policy are also included in the latest UK government amendments suggested for the Wales Bill.
It returns to the House of Lords for debate at its report stage on Wednesday.
A white Vivaro van and silver Peugeot 206 collided on the A465 near Abergavenny at 07:00 BST on Thursday.
A 61-year-old man was taken to University Hospital Wales, Cardiff.
Gwent Police have arrested a 32-year-old man from Cwmbran, Torfaen, on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He has been released on bail.
Terry Smith, 33, died in hospital in November 2013, a day after being held in Surrey under the Mental Health Act.
He had been taken to Staines police station and kept in restraints.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has referred the case to the Crown Prosecution Service.
The IPCC said two sergeants, one of whom had retired, and a health worker contracted to Surrey Police could face charges of gross negligence manslaughter and misconduct in public office.
It had investigated eight police officers and two staff, the methods used to detain Mr Smith and why he was kept under restraint at the police station.
Police arrested Terry Smith, a father who lived locally, in Stanwell at about 22:00 GMT on 12 November 2013 after a call for assistance from an ambulance crew.
He fell ill and was taken to St Peter's hospital in Chertsey, where he died the following day.
IPCC Commissioner Jennifer Izekor said: "We have now completed our investigation into the events leading up to Mr Smith's death.
"I have decided to refer the case to the CPS to determine whether any criminal charges should be brought against any officer.
"My thoughts remain with everyone affected by Mr Smith's death."

His stare is vacant, his voice even quieter than his usual hushed tones. Rigid with disbelief, there is no consoling him.
Selby has just been told his IBF featherweight title defence against Jonathan Victor Barros in Las Vegas has been called off because the Argentine did not meet "fight requirements", as explained matter-of-factly by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
It emerges later that Barros' failure to meet those requirements is related to a problem with his medical tests but, for that moment, a hollow sense of confusion reigns.
The news is announced at the weigh-in, the time when a boxer feels most vulnerable; exhausted after days of excessive training and strict, draining dieting.
It is a little more than 24 hours before the bout, which would have been Selby's first in Las Vegas, and the 29-year-old is crestfallen on stage.
"I'm almost in tears," he says as he stands by the scales.
Selby leaves the auditorium at the MGM Grand and spends a couple of hours contemplating and refuelling with some much-needed, carbohydrate-heavy food - just as he would if the fight was still going ahead.
Even in this enormous 5,000-room hotel with its sprawling casinos and myriad restaurants and bars, Selby remains focused, eschewing the limitless distractions of Las Vegas despite being relieved of his professional duties for the weekend.
His recuperation has the desired effect. He enters the room for this interview with renewed vitality.
Selby's eyes are alert again, his body language sprightly, but there is no hiding the despair of being denied a debut bout in Las Vegas.
"I'm devastated. All the hard work I've put in, the months of training, the months I've been away from my family, and to be let down 30 minutes before I'm meant to go on stage, it's very disappointing," he says.
"We arrived at the weigh-in, got put in a back room and then the promoter came in, and that's when he told us Barros hadn't met the requirements of the Nevada Athletic Commission.
"They didn't say anything more than that. I wish him [Barros] all the best, it's not his fault - I'm just heartbroken."
Selby is more animated than he has been for days, fine-tuned for what should have been a significant fight on Saturday night.
Boxers are wired to peak at certain points. After depriving themselves before the weigh-in, they replenish their depleted stores, they prepare mentally and programme their bodies for the brutal high of the fight.
But Selby had to abort that process at the last moment, and the confusion, the lack of an explanation from organisers, must have exacerbated his sense of frustration.
"It did, yes, and also leaving it so late - literally 30 minutes before I was meant to weigh in," he says.
"I had the adrenaline, the buzz to go on stage in front of all my fans. It was my time to shine, this big stage in the mecca of boxing, and it got taken away from me."
The Barros bout was meant to be on the undercard of Northern Irishman Carl Frampton's WBA featherweight title defence against Leo Santa Cruz.
The featherweight division is regarded as one of the most exciting and competitive in boxing at the moment, and Selby and Frampton are both eager to face each other in what would be a mouthwatering unification duel.
Selby wants it to be held in Cardiff, while Frampton would prefer it in Belfast, but could the Barros cancellation hinder Selby's hopes of securing this super fight?
"It might slow things down, unless we can get a quick fight under my belt now, a quick win, then we could continue as planned," he says.

Before planning his next move, Selby can at least afford himself a little treat. Adding milk and sugar to his morning coffee is first on the list, then a slice of cheesecake - his favourite post-fight indulgence.
Once he returns to Wales, he will be back in the ring, toiling at St Joseph's gym in Newport.
Then, in the not-too-distant future, he has his sights set on a return to Las Vegas - perhaps next time as the headline act.
"I've been away from my partner, my family, my children so I'll go back, spend time with them and get back to work," Selby says.
"It hasn't worked out as planned this time but I'm still returning home as I said, as IBF featherweight world champion.
"But trust me when I say I will be back, and I will make my stamp on the world of boxing."

Lufthansa is negotiating over buying Air Berlin planes, which are still flying following a 150m euro German government loan.
Ryanair said there was an "obvious conspiracy" between Germany, Lufthansa and Air Berlin to carve up the assets.
The German government rejected the accusation and said its support for Air Berlin did not breach anti-trust rules.
Air Berlin filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday, after its biggest shareholder, the Abu Dhabi-based airline Etihad, withdraw its financial support.
Over the past year Air Berlin's passenger numbers have been in freefall. Last month the airline - Germany's second-biggest carrier - lost a quarter of its customers compared with July last year.
Germany's economy minister, Brigitte Zypries, said that a deal whereby Lufthansa took over part of the insolvent airline should be struck in the next few months.
Ryanair said: "This manufactured insolvency is clearly being set up to allow Lufthansa to take over a debt-free Air Berlin which will be in breach of all known German and EU competition rules.
"Now even the German government is supporting this Lufthansa-led monopoly with 150m euros of state aid so that Lufthansa can acquire Air Berlin and drive domestic air fares in Germany even higher than they already are."
A German economy spokeswoman said: "I reject the accusation by Ryanair today that it was a staged insolvency application."
Ryanair has lodged a complaint with the German regulator, the Bundeskartellamt, and the European Commission.
Lufthansa said it was already in negotiations with Air Berlin to take over parts of the company and was considering hiring more staff: "Lufthansa intends to conclude these negotiations successfully in due time."
Ryanair has in the past made other criticisms of the relationship between Air Berlin and Lufthansa.
Lufthansa has been operating 38 Air Berlin Airbus jets on its behalf under a "wet lease" arrangement. In January Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary described the deal as a "joke".
He told the German magazine WirtschaftsWoche that the deal was "a takeover with the aim of dominating the market. Lufthansa controls the capacities of its most important competitor, sets the prices and decides where aircraft will start. The German authorities are doing nothing".
Lufthansa's interest in Air Berlin has also upset its own staff.
At its Eurowings subsidiary, unions are balloting cabin crew about industrial action after pay talks broke down - something the unions blame on Air Berlin's collapse.
German cabin crew union UFO said: "The reasons why no solution could be worked out with Eurowings management became clear yesterday: the Lufthansa group can obtain cheap aircraft through Air Berlin's insolvency and doesn't need to take on its staff or their wage agreements."
However, the demise of Air Berlin could open up the German market to more competition.
Ryanair and EasyJet have only managed to get a toehold at airports such as Berlin, Cologne/Bonn, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt.
Gerald Khoo, transport analyst at Liberum Capital, said: "Based on August schedules, Germany currently represents just 9% of EasyJet's capacity and 7% of Ryanair's, compared with 76% of Lufthansa's, highlighting the relative importance of that market to each carrier."
Ryanair has been targeting the German market, with new routes to and from Frankfurt.
Mr Khoo said: "We would expect German airports to move up the list of priorities for next summer for both major low cost carriers, whether or not they attempt to pick up assets and/or staff from Air Berlin's bankruptcy process."
Reuters reported on Tuesday that Easyjet was in talks to buy assets from Air Berlin. EasyJet declined to comment.
Mr Maduro's accusation that Mr Uribe had plotted to assassinate him had put the Colombian's life at risk, his lawyer said.
Mr Uribe's lawyer said he also wanted a libel investigation in Colombia.
Mr Maduro also implied Mr Uribe could have been involved in the killing of a Venezuelan journalist.
The Venezuelan leader said on Friday he had evidence that right-wing Venezuelan politicians were involved in a plot masterminded by Mr Uribe.
But Mr Uribe - a fierce critic of the late President Hugo Chavez - dismissed Mr Maduro's accusation as "immature".
On Sunday, Mr Uribe's lawyer issued a statement saying the former president's "life and bodily integrity" had been put at risk.
"In the next few hours I will appeal to the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights to ask for precautionary measures in favour of the former President Alvaro Uribe every time Mr Maduro's actions put his life and bodily integrity at risk," wrote the lawyer, Jaime Granados Pena.
He said he would also ask Colombia's Attorney General's office for a special petition to investigate Mr Maduro for libel if he enters the country.
The statement also said the accusations were the acts of "a desperate person who holds power illegitimately" and wanted to "divert the attention from the corruption and illegality sponsored by the dictatorship he runs."
For its part, the Venezuelan government also accused an American national, Timothy Tracy, of funding opposition protests to "destabilise the country with the goal of starting a civil war".
US President Barack Obama dismissed the accusations as "ridiculous", while Mr Maduro hit back calling him the "grand chief of devils".
Since taking over from the late President Hugo Chavez as acting president and even after winning disputed elections last month, Mr Maduro denounced a string of alleged conspiracies in Venezuela.
Mr Maduro won the 14 April poll by a narrow margin of 1.49%, according to the official results.
Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles is challenging the result, alleging irregularities.
During his term in office, Alvaro Uribe clashed with Hugo Chavez on a number of issues.
Mr Uribe, a conservative, stepped down in 2010.
Ties between the two neighbouring countries have been steadily improving since then.
The former president of the International Cycling Union (UCI) has come to a TV production company's office in Geneva to give his first interview to the BBC since we reported allegations the UCI had taken money to get keirin into the Olympic velodrome.
The 72-year-old Dutchman has got an explanation for that in his bag, but that is not why we are meeting.
We are here to find out who is telling the truth: Lance Armstrong, the teller of perhaps the biggest lie ever told in professional sport, or Verbruggen, a man described by a contact of mine that morning as knowing "where all the bodies are buried".
It is almost a year since Armstrong told Oprah Winfrey at least some of the truth about what fuelled his seven Tour de France victories between 1999 and 2005.
Since then the fallen idol has largely been playing footsie with those seeking a bit more truth before they consider reducing his lifetime ban from most organised sport.
Last month, the Texan decided to float a bit more of his story, telling a British newspaper he tested positive for corticosteroids at the 1999 Tour, but asked Verbruggen "to come up with something" that would get him, and cycling, off the hook.
According to Armstrong, Verbruggen agreed, telling him to backdate a sick note and blame it on an ointment for saddle sores.
Verbruggen remembers it differently. He says there was no positive test, just an "adverse analytical finding" of which only a quarter progress to full-blown positive status.
He adds that it was the French anti-doping agency, not the UCI, that did the test, and it was the French who decided not to pursue it.
Just to emphasise the point, Verbruggen showed me emails from Armstrong and the rider's team boss at the time, Johan Bruyneel, from 2011 and 2012 that clearly state there was no positive test at the 1999 Tour, or anywhere else for that matter.
Verbruggen does admit he might have had a conversation with "somebody" about Armstrong's test at the time, but categorically denies telling the rider how to bury a positive.
The partially-remembered phone call does ring my alarm bells, but not quite as loudly as Armstrong does with his evolving narrative.
So three hours after the start of our interview, as Verbruggen bids me a cheery "bon voyage" at the airport, I am confused: have we perhaps got Hein wrong?
Before I try to answer that, let me go back to the beginning.
Our interview took place in a nondescript street squeezed between Geneva's lake and station. It was, by coincidence, around the corner from the UCI's old headquarters, a few rooms above another nondescript street.

"When I took over as president in 1991, I went to that office and found the secretary painting the fridge," Verbruggen recalls.
"I asked her why she was doing that, and she said it was because my predecessor refused to buy a new one."
The UCI was £1m in debt at the time, with offices in three cities and four full-time staff. This was the state of the organisation on the eve of cycling's move from endemic but low-level doping, to a state of rocket-fuelled chaos.
"Doping has been a cultural problem for cycling since the first races in the 1860s - society wanted athletes to do impossible things - but the drugs changed in the 1970s and the real doping started," he explains.
Amphetamines came first, then steroids, and finally "the very unfortunate cherry on the cake", as Verbruggen describes it, EPO.
So effective is the blood-boosting hormone as a performance-enhancer for cyclists that you could be forgiven for thinking it was synthesised with that in mind - it wasn't (its main use is for treating anaemic patients with kidney problems) but the effect on the peloton amounted to the same thing.
In a matter of a few seasons, the abuse of EPO spread from the minority who will always cheat, to the majority who cheat if they feel they have no choice. It did not take long for everybody apart from the saints to be on it.
As president I could not go around speculating about riders - I would be in court the following day
The first item on the popular charge sheet against Verbruggen is that he was either too incompetent to spot this, or so obsessed with the sport's image that he turned a blind eye to it, ignoring whistle-blowers like riders Jorg Jaksche and Jesus Manzano, and Mapei team boss Giorgio Squinzi.
At least one of Verbruggen's bulging binders deals with this accusation alone. Over the course of an hour, he showed me hand-written faxes, letters, speeches and press clippings that suggest he was at least talking about the problem.
He had hoped some help might come in 1994 when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) funded an Italian study to find a test for EPO.
But when 1995 became 1996, and there was still no test, Verbruggen asked the doctor involved where it was because his sport was "out of control".
The doctor told him he had a test, but it needed a litre of urine. That is a lot of wee when you have been on a bike for six hours.
Verbruggen claims the UCI then funded its own research into an EPO test in Australia, Canada, France and Switzerland.
He had the documents to prove it, too, and sure enough, there was the UCI being thanked by anti-dopers who would later criticise the federation.
While cycling waited for a test, he introduced "health controls" to at least put some enforceable limits on the amount of blood manipulation the cheats could get away with.
For some this was a sensible move, for others it was a free pass as it told the dopers where the line in the sand was.
Verbruggen believes this is "hypocrisy", and says at least cycling did something. It is a point he repeats when he says the UCI recognised a new test for EPO in 2000, three years before it had been peer-reviewed enough to satisfy the IOC and World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).
"We stuck our necks out, we were the only ones, as usual," he says defiantly.
The untested test caught Danish rider Bo Hamburger in 2001, but the UCI would lose the case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The blood values of one of Hamburger's samples were just below the threshold needed for a positive. This would knock the UCI's confidence.
The defeat came in the same year the second of the great Armstrong-Verbruggen conspiracies is supposed to have happened.
Armstrong's samples from the Tour of Switzerland also threw up some suspicious blood values. Once more, Armstrong tells his team-mates that he has been caught, but friends in high places have made it go away.
This claim would eventually lead to some of Armstrong's team-mates blowing the whistle loudly on Lance and Verbruggen, who reacted in his usual combative fashion.
"As president I could not go around speculating about riders - I would be in court the following day," he explains. "So I had to deal with positives, or negatives; that's all. There was no positive in 2001.
"By that stage I had nothing to do with the UCI's anti-doping team. Their door was the only one locked in the building, and there were seven or eight people of the highest integrity working there."
It was at this point of the interview I admit to losing track of all the steps his UCI was taking to deter cheats. Instead I find myself listing the number of rows he had with people who have eventually turned out to be telling the truth.
This, more than any other reason, is why his name is synonymous with cover-ups, while those who did actually cheat, riders like Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis, are viewed by some as heroes.
Verbruggen even got into a scrap with his former friend and IOC colleague Dick Pound. This was unwise, he acknowledges that now, as Pound ran Wada, which saw cycling as the best proof that sport needed Wada.
The shame of it is that cycling needed Wada, too, something Verbruggen, who tells me he was considered as a candidate for Pound's job, should have realised.
Then there were the two donations the UCI took from Armstrong in 2002 and 2005. The first, for $25,000, was used to fund a drug-testing programme for junior racers, and the second, $100,000, was spent on a machine for analysing blood.
Oh, the irony.
Verbruggen holds his hand up to these mistakes too, but cannot help pointing out the documents that explain how above-board it was at the time.
He also claims he was only ever paid travel and relocation expenses, never a salary, during his time in charge of cycling.
He stepped down as UCI president in 2005, the same year Armstrong retired for the first time, an unfortunate coincidence, but the feuds and scandals continued during his successor Pat McQuaid's reign.
Verbruggen's culpability, real or otherwise, was not helped by the perception that his hand was still on the tiller, a perception he rejects, although he is the federation's honorary president.
What we do know is the UCI continued to catch cheats - Marco Pantani,Alexander Vinokourov and Alberto Contador to name just three - and implement anti-doping rules most sports have not even considered yet. That did not stop the bad press, though.
The UCI has a beautiful office an hour's drive from Geneva in Aigle now. It is a model federation with 80 staff and a hi-tech training centre. Cycling is also more popular than ever, with races staged around the world.
But the sport is still hamstrung by its past and continues to punch below its weight commercially. This frustrates the businessman in Verbruggen as much as anything else.
He retires from his last big job in sport in March, the chairman of Olympic Broadcasting Services, but his will not be an easy retirement. He has been damaged too much by his association with Armstrong.
"There is a saying I like that says truth is the daughter of time," he says with an air of optimism tinged with regret.
Have we misjudged Hein? Possibly, but he has not exactly helped himself. And that is a shame for him and his sport.
Lord Fowler said policies being introduced by Michael Gove, who also holds the post of Lord Chancellor, "give more hope for advance in prison policy than anything I have heard for many years".
From the Labour front bench, Lord Beecham said: "It would be churlish not to welcome Mr Gove's appointment as Lord Chancellor, although almost anyone would have been an improvement on his predecessor".
Chris Grayling was Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor from September 2012 to May 2015, the first non-lawyer to hold the post for more than four centuries.
As such, he was never going to have an easy ride from the legal profession in his first cabinet post.
He was also required to save large sums of money from the Ministry of Justice budget, leading to cuts in legal aid and colourful protest meetings by lawyers.
Some lawyers also objected to his planned human rights changes, although in this he was merely seeking to do the prime minister's bidding and these were never implemented.
But some of Mr Grayling's less well-known policies, such as restructuring of the courts in England and Wales, are being carried through by his successor.
One reason Mr Gove has earned the respect of his political opponents is his willingness to reverse many of Mr Grayling's least effective decisions.
There is speculation the next policy to be abandoned will involve the award of criminal legal aid duty contracts.
These contracts, under which solicitors agree to cover police stations and magistrates' courts in England and Wales, are the gateway to legal aid work for law firms.
To make up for cutting solicitors' fees by 17.5% over two years, the number of contracts was to be reduced from 1,600 to 527 - making each contract much more valuable.
But the Ministry of Justice had to postpone the new contracts - which were meant to take effect this month - after solicitors launched legal action alleging the allocation process had been unlawful.
If Mr Gove does decide to put pragmatism ahead of ideology, it won't be the first time.
A couple of months after his appointment last May, the former education secretary lifted restrictions on the number of books that prisoners could keep in their cells.
Also last July, Mr Gove scrapped plans to spend an estimated £85m building a huge prison in Leicestershire for 320 young offenders.
Risking a clash with the Foreign Office, the justice secretary pulled out of a £5.9m prisons deal with Saudi Arabia.
This had been set up under a commercial arm of the Ministry of Justice established by Mr Grayling and scrapped by Mr Gove.
Last month, the justice secretary abolished the much-criticised criminal courts charge, which Mr Grayling had insisted would make criminals "pay their way".
And, this month, Mr Gove supported a 3% pay rise for high court judges, to be funded by increasing salaries for the most junior judges by less than the 1% they would otherwise have received.
One reason, he said, was it had not been possible to fill a vacancy in the high court family division last year - at a time when Mr Grayling was insisting that implementing changes recommended four years earlier would have increased the total pay bill by an unacceptable 2%.
Despite praise for his prison policy, Mr Gove was criticised by a former law lord last week for continuing to detain 4,500 prisoners given indefinite terms of imprisonment for public protection (IPP) under a schemed abolished in 2012.
About 3,500 of these IPP prisoners have already served the minimum punishment periods set by the courts.
But the biggest difference between the two secretaries of state is the one that is the least obvious: Mr Gove has managed to establish much better relations than Mr Grayling ever had with what the Ministry of Justice regards as its stakeholder groups, notably the judiciary.
While well aware they can no longer rely on the lord chancellor being a lawyer, the judges are relieved to find the minister responsible for the legal system in England and Wales is now someone they can do business with.
NYFW is held twice a year - February and September - and this one focused on autumn/winter collections.
We'll leave aside the fact that Wednesday is nobody's idea of the end of the week and focus on some of the highlights instead.
1. The hot convict's catwalk debut
In 2014, 30-year-old convicted felon Jeremy Meeks was arrested during a gun sweep in California. But then something unusual happened.
His mugshot went viral after it was posted on the Stockton Police Department's Facebook page.
It received more than 15,000 likes and several users left comments like "hottest convict ever" and "Is it illegal to be that sexy?"
The blue-eyed bandit, as some fans branded him, was quickly snapped up by a modelling agent and his Instagram account now has 834,000 followers.
Philip Plein must have been one of those who had his head turned, as Meeks has now popped up on the catwalk of the designer's autumn/winter collection.
2. The plethora of political statements
The way things are at the moment, it would be much more groundbreaking if someone in the public eye didn't try to make a political statement.
Nonetheless, there were politics aplenty at NYFW, perhaps most notably on the runway for the Mara Hoffman collection.
The designer's show kicked off with opening remarks by the national co-chairs of the Women's March on Washington (pictured above).
The Women's March was an international protest against US president Donald Trump which took place last month.
Designers Public School also kitted out their models with hats reading "Make America New York" - a reference to President Trump's Make America Great Again campaign slogan.
Models were also seen wearing shirts with slogans such as "The Future is Female" and "We Will Not be Silenced".
It's unusual for fashion to dip its toes into the world of politics, but it seems even the most high-profile designers are keen to have their say on President Trump and his policies.
3. The rise of plus-size
This was not the first time that plus-sized models appeared at New York Fashion Week, but it may well be the most significant.
Previously, designers have included plus-size models, very often in frumpy outfits, to gain publicity for their show.
This time around, however, models like Ashley Graham (for Michael Kors) and Candice Huffine (for Prabal Gurang) were styled in a similar way to the other models.
4. Kanye West didn't do anything controversial
Or he might've done. We don't know, as he didn't allow any photographers into his Yeezy Season 5 runway show.
For all we knew he might have unveiled a new range of "Taylor Swift Rules" T-shirts.
All we had to go on from the show were some grainy photos and shaky mobile phone footage from those who flouted the photography rules.
However, all of the designs have now been posted online, making the camera ban somewhat pointless.
One thing we do know is Kanye refused to walk the runway at the end of his show, as is customary for the designer.
It seems that's about as controversial as it got.
5. Michael Kors brought an orchestra
No recorded hip-hop or dance music for Michael Kors's show, oh no. He brought an orchestra.
AN ORCHESTRA.
This is a seriously classy touch.
6. The hijab catwalk show
Indonesian Muslim designer Anniesa Hasibuan has made the hijab her trademark over the last two seasons.
This week, she built it into the outfits on display at her NY Fashion Week show, styling it with flowing gowns.
All of the models in Hasibuan's autumn/winter 2017 collection were seen with grey hijabs, signalling that such sightings on the catwalk could become more common.
Interviewed backstage, the designer said her dream would be to dress Kate Middleton, adding that she admires the Duchess of Cambridge for "her elegance".

So how has the economy fared since the UK voted to leave the EU last June?
The firm has announced that it will hold an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on 20 April.
The camera and medical equipment maker has admitted to hiding losses of $1.7bn (£1bn) for as long as twenty years.
The scandal, which became public in October last year, has caused Olympus' share price to fall by almost 50%.
Michael Woodford, the former chief executive who blew the whistle on the accounting irregularities, confirmed he will attend the meeting.
Mr Woodford claimed he was dismissed as the chief executive for raising concerns about the company's accounting practices.
He said he had questioned Olympus' payment of $687m in fees to financial advisers during the acquisition of UK medical equipment company Gyrus.
Though the company initially denied any wrongdoing, it later admitted that it had been hiding losses. The company has since sued 19 executives for the cover-up.
Japanese authorities have also raided Olympus' offices as part of the ongoing investigation into the firm.
Mr Woodford said that the probe may result in more information about how deep-rooted such practices may have been.
"Investigations into the scandal are ongoing on three continents and therefore we are still not in a position to know the full extent of what took place," Mr Woodford was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.
"Before April's extraordinary meeting, I believe it is highly likely there will be further revelations and all interested parties should continue to closely scrutinise events."
The scandal has already seen Olympus' former chairman Tsuyoshi Kikukawa and three other directors including the firm's former vice president and former auditor resign from the board.
Shareholders are expected to elect a new management team at the meeting, raising speculation that some other board members may also leave before then.
However analysts said that it was still unclear how things will unfold.
"I think the whole thing is under a veil and we don't really know what's going to happen," Yuuki Sakurai of Fukuo Capital Management told the BBC.
"It has become a very big farce."
Mr Woodford had also launched a campaign to take control of the firm. But he gave up on his attempts after he failed to win support from the main shareholders.
The discovery was made at Robert Gordon University (RGU), in the Garthdee area, on Monday afternoon.
Police Scotland said it appeared to have been stolen from a property in Aberdeenshire four years ago, and officers were trying to establish how it got there.
The Garthdee area where it was found has been taped off.
Det Insp Allen Shaw, who is leading the investigation, said: "Early inquiries would indicate that this weapon appears to have been stolen from a property in the Aberdeenshire area in 2012.
"I would like to take this opportunity to stress that at no point has there been any threat to the public."
A spokesman for RGU said: "A member of RGU's estates team found a weapon in the undergrowth."
The spokesman said it was immediately reported to police, and added: "There is absolutely no risk to our students or staff, whose safety is always our priority."
His spokespeople said on Thursday that due to changing laws, more young men will face sexual assault allegations.
Mr Cosby narrowly escaped a prison sentence when a sexual assault trial against him ended in a hung jury.
Prosecutors plan to retry the case. At least 50 other women accuse him of drugging and sexually assaulting them.
Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt told WBRC-TV's Good Day Alabama that the comedian will begin his summer motivational speaking tour in Alabama as early as July.
"This is bigger than Bill Cosby," Mr Wyatt said, adding "this issue can affect any young person, especially young athletes of today".
"They need to know what they're facing when they're hanging out and partying, when they're doing certain things that they shouldn't be doing," he told the interviewer.
"And it also affects married men," Mr Wyatt added with a laugh, leading presenter Janice Rogers to ask: "Is it kind of a 'Do as I say, not as I do' situation?"
Ebonee Benson, who also appeared on the programme, noted that the statute of limitations on sexual assault accusations is being lengthened, allowing accusers more time to come forward to authorities.
"This is why people need to be educated on - you know, a brush on the shoulder - you know, anything at this point can be considered sexual assault and it's a good thing to be educated about the laws," said Ms Benson, who is a spokeswoman for Mr Cosby's wife, Camille.
Mr Cosby was planning a comeback comedy tour before charges against were filed against him in December 2015.
He was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, inside his home near Philadelphia in 2004.
At least 50 other women came forward with similar claims, but those alleged assaults happened too long ago for prosecutors to file charges.
Mr Cosby's comedy tour was cancelled, along with a Netflix standup special.
He has also had several honorary degrees and an award from the US Navy revoked.
Prosecutors say they plan to retry him in about four months.
The Wales international, who is currently on loan at the Tigers, will join the club on a permanent basis when his Huddersfield deal runs out at the end of the season.
Patrick, 27, has made three appearances for Daryl Powell's side.
"He has fitted in well while on loan and we feel he still has a lot of improvement in him," Powell said.

The Grammy Awards is one of the most prestigious music ceremonies in the world.
Sam Smith, who topped the BBC's Sound of 2014 in January, has six nominations including best new artist.
His single Stay With Me is also up for best pop performance and record of the year.
Women who had Essure fitted had a 10-times greater risk of needing a repeat operation than women who had conventional sterilisations.
Regulators say the device is safe but are monitoring the situation following complaints from users about side-effects such as pain and misplacement.
Manufacturer Bayer says Essure's safety and efficacy are backed up by evidence.
Essure is a spring that doctors insert into a woman's fallopian tubes to block them and stop eggs reaching the womb.
The UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) says it will continue to monitor all side-effects and advises UK women who experience problems to see a doctor. But it says the device - given to about 1,500 women a year in the UK - is safe to use.
The research in the British Medical Journal tracked 8,000 women who had Essure fitted and 44,000 women who underwent conventional "tube tie" sterilisation to compare how well the procedures worked.
There are different procedures but they work in a similar way - by preventing eggs from travelling down the fallopian tubes so that fertilisation can't happen.
Conventional sterilisation involves a small incision in the abdomen so that the fallopian tubes can be cut and sewn shut or closed off using clips or rings.
Essure doesn't require an incision. Instead, the device is guided into place through a narrow tube instrument via the vagina.
Both methods should be considered irreversible and permanent.
The unintended pregnancy rate was low for both. But more women who had Essure experienced complications that meant they needed repeat surgery.
Although rare, there have been instances of the device puncturing neighbouring organs, such as the bowel, or migrating around the body.
Other women have reported nasty side-effects, such as pain or allergy to nickel found inside the implant.
In the study, Essure was linked to an extra 21 repeat operations per 1,000 patients undergoing surgery, which the authors say is significant and "a serious safety concern".
Study author Dr Art Sedrakyan said: "It may not sound many but this is a commonly done procedure so that makes it relevant.
"Our study is very helpful. It shows how Essure compares with the main alternative, which means women can weigh the benefits and harms and regulators can make better decisions."
Bayer points out that because all women who have Essure receive a routine check-up three months after having the device fitted, this may partly explain why more in the study had follow-up surgery.
"Because there is no confirmation test that could identify potential failure of a laparoscopic tubal ligation procedure, it stands to reason that the comparative reoperation rate would be lower," said a spokeswoman.
Adverse incidents can be reported to the MHRA on its website or by calling 020 3080 7080. In the US, patients should contact the Food and Drug Administration.
The Canadian singer remains in pole position in this week's singles chart with Love Yourself and also stays put at two with Sorry.
Bieber's former number one track What Do You Mean?, meanwhile, climbs one place to three.
In the album chart, Adele's 25 is number one for a seventh straight week.
Her third solo record again triumphed over Elvis Presley's If I Can Dream, her closest rival, on what would have been the legendary singer's 81st birthday.
The ubiquitous Bieber sits one place behind them with Purpose, just ahead of Jess Glynne's I Cry When I Laugh at four and James Bay's Chaos and the Calm at five.
A campaign to send Motorhead's Ace of Spades into the Top 40 following the death of lead singer Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister sees the track re-enter the singles chart at 13.
The song's previous highest position came when it was first released in 1980, when it reached 15th place.
Further down the chart, at number 33, Craig David scores his first top 40 hit in eight years with When the Bassline Drops.
He will travel to Poland and Ukraine uncapped, with just nine months' Premier League experience and a history of lower league football behind him.
From Cambridge United to Everton and then, when opportunity failed to knock at Goodison Park, nine spells on loan with various clubs, he eventually settled in Norfolk.
And now, after a champagne season with Norwich City, he will be on the plane to Euro 2012 with the rest of Roy Hodgson's 23-man party following a surprise call from England's new boss.
He offered to postpone the wedding but personally I think it's dangerous to postpone a wedding
But Ricky Duncan, the coach who oversaw his progress at Cambridge, believes the 25-year-old will make the step up with a total lack of nerves.
"He had a nickname in the youth team and it's followed him through - they called him the 'Iceman'," Duncan, now at Southend United, told BBC Sport.
"Nothing ever fazes John. He brought real steeliness to the team. Even off the pitch he was like that, nothing ever fazed him.
"Alright, he's had a shaky one here and there but he comes back strong."
After being spotted by a U's scout, he soon made an impression at the Abbey Stadium and was given his first-team debut as a 17-year-old in an end-of-season League Two clash against Leyton Orient.
"We were 1-0 up and he saved a penalty," recalls Duncan.
"When a 17-year-old is playing League Two football like he was, you knew he was going to go onto something else."
A year later, Everton came calling and paid £250,000 for Ruddy, but he only made one substitute appearance on Merseyside and spent the next five years criss-crossing Britain, from Bristol City to Motherwell and many points in between.
In 2010, however, Norwich boss Paul Lambert took a punt on Ruddy after guiding his team to the League One title.
His debut season in the Championship was good as the Canaries achieved back-to-back promotions - and in the Premier League, Ruddy has been superb, pulling off 216 saves as the club achieved mid-table security.
Things have gone well off the field as well - and he will be given leave from England duty to walk down the aisle with fiancee Laura on 2 June, the same day the national team meet Belgium in a Wembley friendly.
"I'm absolutely delighted and so grateful to the Football Association for agreeing to let me go ahead and get married," he said.
"It would have been a nightmare after one-and-a-half years of planning to have to postpone the wedding, so it's a major relief that we can still go ahead."
Although Hodgson might not be an obvious candidate for the role of Cupid, he felt circumstances allowed a bit of leeway.
"He offered to postpone the wedding but personally I think it's dangerous to postpone a wedding.
"I suggested we deal with the Belgium game with Joe Hart and Rob Green and we'll welcome him back on the plane when we go to Poland," he said.
"John's had an excellent season with Norwich. He's been a very important player in that team.
"When I was looking for someone to back up Joe Hart, who is the obvious number one, and Rob Green, who is the obvious number two, I turned to John Ruddy."
Nine years ago Ruddy was kicking a ball about on the green, interlocking commons of Cambridge. So how would he react to being called upon during England's pursuit of European glory? His old coach has no doubts.
"He would thrive on it," insists Duncan. "He'll be waiting for that opportunity and it will be just like he's played 100 games.
"It's a great thing for any kid at any club in the lower leagues. John's a flagship for that now."
The RSPCA said the three-feet-long (1m) female snake was probably abandoned by its owner.
Kim Greaves, who is a reptile expert for the animal welfare charity, said the snake would not be able to survive in the wild.
She said the RSPCA would prosecute the person who dumped the snake if they were found.
Ms Greaves said the problem of abandoned animals in the area was "getting absolutely out of hand."
"This is a happy ending for this particular snake," she said.
"But more and more of my colleagues are faced with abandoned animals, not just snakes and reptiles, but rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and cats and dogs.
"It is a sign of the times, I'm afraid,"
The non-venomous royal python is found in Africa and survives on a diet of rodents.

It will be NASA's 35th spacewalk, and should last around six hours.
He will be stepping outside the ISS, and taking a walk in space, 250 miles above the earth.
Here's everything you need to know:
It's not just Tim Peake, the spacewalk will be a team effort. Here are the other key players:
ON THE SPACEWALK
INSIDE THE ISS
ON EARTH
Every detail of the six hour spacewalk has been carefully planned.
The spacesuits are carefully checked, and even the order that different tools and equipment are attached to the suits is decided in advance.
On the day of the spacewalk, Peake and Kopra will get into their suits hours before they go outside.
They will breathe pure oxygen in their suits for hours before they go outside, to get rid of a gas called nitrogen in their bodies which could make them ill in space.
Once they're suited up, Peake and Kopra will enter the airlock and get ready to leave the spacecraft.
As EV1, Tim Kopra will go outside first, and then will give the 'GO' for Peake to follow him.
The astronauts will check all of their equipment, and get used to the new environment. It feels very different outside in space, compared to inside the ISS; it's a bit like being underwater.
The astronauts are always attached to the spacecraft, with a special rope to stop them floating away.
Because there isn't any gravity, or any ground to stand on, astronauts hardly use their legs during the spacewalk. They use their arms instead to find their way around the outside of the space station.
Peake and Kopra have several tasks to complete during the spacewalk, including:
It can be tiring work, and the astronauts don't get any food, and don't even have the chance for a toilet break.
The Space Station will still be orbiting the earth every 90 minutes, so it will change from daylight to darkness every 45 minutes.
When it's dark, the astronauts can use lights on their spacesuits to see.
All of this will take about six hours and 20 minutes, and if they're quick enough to finish early then there are extra 'bonus tasks' around the station for them to do as well.

The Gunners missed out on a place in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years after finishing fifth.
Arsenal face Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday (17:30 BST), with the Blues aiming for a league and cup Double.
"In football, winning trophies is what it is all about," said the midfielder.
"The season has been an odd one and if you look at the table, we finished on 75 points. In other years, that might have left us in a different situation.
"Times change and you have to move forward with the other top teams. We have failed to do that in the league and that is why we missed out on the top four.
"We wanted to finish higher up in the league, there is no doubting that. We cannot hide from that and we need to own up to that.
"The FA Cup is a big trophy, one we want to win and which would definitely boost morale going into next season."
The north London side's season has been beset by fans calling for manager Arsene Wenger to end his long association with the club.
The Frenchman has been with the Gunners since 1996 and said on Wednesday he "does not know" if the match against Chelsea will be his last as boss.
If his side win, Wenger will claim his seventh FA Cup - matching the number of times Liverpool and Chelsea have won it in. In addition, he has also won three Premier League titles.
As well as the manager, there has also been speculation surrounding the futures of star players Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, who both have one year remaining on their current deals.
Reports say Chilean Sanchez, 28, has been offered a new £300,000-a-week contract, while German Ozil, 28, has refused to sign a £250,000-a-week deal.
Striker Danny Welbeck said: "It is obvious to see how important [Sanchez] is to that team with his great abilities on the pitch and his attitude off it.
"I can't comment on his situation at the moment but it is not great to lose your best players."
The duo helped England complete a Test series win over Sri Lanka on Monday.
Chris Woakes, who played in the second Test at Durham, and Jake Ball - who was included in the squad for the first two Tests - have also been made available.
They will be in contention to play for Birmingham Bears and Notts Outlaws respectively.
All-rounder Woakes can feature for the Bears against Durham at Edgbaston on Friday, while bowler Ball can play in two T20 games and a One-Day Cup fixture against Northants on 6 June.
Yorkshire lost their first T20 game of the season to Leicestershire on 27 May.
The 35-year-old 2004 Olympic silver medallist suffered head injuries when a taxi he was in with a team-mate crashed head on into a concrete barrier.
"He has very, very serious injuries and his condition is life-threatening," team doctor Bernd Wolfahrt said.
Another canoe team official, Christian Kaeding, had minor injuries and was treated in hospital, but then released.
Henze was first treated at a nearby hospital but had to be transferred to another clinic that has a special neurosurgery department.
Security and traffic have been a main concern for teams at the Games and several official Olympic buses have been involved in road accidents.
Timothy Crook battered his elderly parents Bob and Elsie Crook to death in Swindon in 2007.
Carl James, 21, was killed by his schizophrenic friend Michael Harris in Swindon in March 2007.
Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust accepted the reports' findings and apologised.
The reports were commissioned by the South West Strategic Health Authority and the East Midlands Strategic Health Authority, and were received by the NHS South of England on Tuesday.
Crook killed his parents while he was under the care of specialist mental health services in Wiltshire and Lincoln.
The 330-page report states the trusts knew Crook presented a "significant risk to the safety of other people" but "failed to deliver the required standard of care and treatment" and "systematically ignored policy and procedure".
"The assertive clinical management of Mr Crook would have prevented the steady deterioration of his mental illness and the subsequent deaths of his parents," it says.
Harris pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act in 2007.
The second report says he was let down by Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust and the poor treatment he received, and in particular the lack of management direction, were contributory factors to Mr James's death.
The report authors said they were "pleased to learn" that action had been taken regarding all 71 recommendations to the trust.
Crook's sister Janice Lawrence, who repeatedly asked for help, said the report on her brother's case did not go far enough and contained omissions and discrepancies.
Mrs Lawrence tried to get her brother sectioned, but nothing was done.
She said she wanted to see more independent reviews of what happened in the run-up to her parents' death.
Mrs Lawrence said: "They [her parents] brought him home, nobody cared about their safety or the family's safety and we struggled with him, they knew he was in the community and they knew how dangerous he was."
Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust have apologised, accepted the report's findings and said they were working through its 23 recommendations.
Hazel Watson, from the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership, admitted Crook's family could not have done more to warn the authorities about his condition.
"They spoke to us, they spoke to the police, they spoke to social services, they spoke to almost every organisation in Swindon," she said.
"We absolutely accept the findings of the report, that we failed to hear what they were saying and we failed to act appropriately on it."
Seamus Edney, a solicitor specialising in clinical negligence, said: "I've already advised the family that there may well be a claim for compensation, although their priority at the moment is the report and the recommendations, and seeing those recommendations implemented, to ensure this tragedy doesn't happen again in the future, this is one [of] the worst I've heard of."
Timothy Crook went to live with his parents at their home in Thames Avenue, Swindon, in 2003.
He had been treated for mental health problems at his previous home in Lincoln and had been diagnosed with a delusional disorder, but his family were not told.
After 18 months living with his parents, he came off his medication and his behaviour became increasingly aggressive.
Despite a prior attack on his parents in 1999, and calls for help made by his sister to the authorities, nothing was done.
Four days before they were killed, it has been claimed the health trust failed to section him.
Bristol Crown Court heard in 2008 that Crook had repeatedly hit his parents with a hammer and strangled them before putting them into a car, taking them to his house in Lincoln and leaving their bodies in the garden.
Crook was deemed to be too mentally ill to plead but jurors at his trial decided he did kill Mr Crook, 83, and his 76-year-old wife.
He was sentenced to an indefinite period in a secure hospital.
The investigations were carried out by the Health and Social Care Advisory Service and Rae Wallin Ltd.
The Northern Rock Foundation has handed out more than £200m since it was created in 1997, when its namesake was demutualised to become a bank.
Trustees said they had failed to agree future funding with Virgin Money, which took over Northern Rock in 2011.
Current grant programmes will stop at the end of 2014 as the charity prepares for its likely eventual closure.
In a different announcement, Virgin Money said it would make a £1m investment into community projects designed to make a positive difference to young people in the region.
Northern Rock Foundation said in a statement: "In May 2014, Virgin Money made a generous offer to the Northern Rock Foundation of £1 million per year for five years, to be matched by the foundation raising £3 million per year from the private sector locally.
"This was considered very seriously by the Foundation's trustees.
"Virgin Money and Northern Rock Foundation together looked at many different ways in which this offer could help to generate an income, including reviewing the current funding environment and canvassing views from private, public and voluntary sector bodies.
"Eventually it was concluded that, given the existing charitable commitments and links with other local funders of many other businesses in the region, this was not a viable option.
"Trustees believe there are now no funding routes left to pursue, (although they would be open to viable approaches) and will therefore proceed with the scaling down of the foundation's work."

Forty-five "much loved" fish died at Castle Park in Colchester, Essex, on Wednesday while their pond was cleaned and they were in a container.
Park staff rushed to save a number of fish, managing to successfully resuscitate some of the larger ones.
An 18-year-old man has been charged with theft and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

Colchester Borough Council said most of the water in the tank was lost, resulting in the death of "45 fish - including all of the oldest, rarest and most valuable koi carp that had lived in the pond for many years".
A spokesman said the three largest koi carp to perish were all about 30 years old and may have been worth up to £200 each.
"It's very upsetting for the staff - those carp were like children to them, they'd been with them for so long".
Anne Feltham, the council's portfolio holder for business and leisure, said staff had worked extremely hard to try to rescue the fish.
"One of the staff actually gave mouth to mouth resuscitation on some of the larger fish which was an absolute eye-opener to me - I wouldn't have even known that was possible."
The charged man will appear at Colchester Magistrates' Court on 22 November.
A 16-year-old boy who was also arrested was released without charge.
Fish breathe by gulping water into their mouths and passing it through their gills, where oxygen is absorbed from the water and dissolved into the fish's blood.
Dr Rod Wilson, Associate Professor of Integrative Animal Physiology at the University of Exeter, said carp were "famously good at surviving in water with little oxygen, or even out of water for a fairly long time".
"I'm doubtful mouth-to-mouth resuscitation would be that useful in this case, but it would be unlikely to have a negative impact on the fish," he said.
"The fish might have survived anyway, especially in cold weather conditions like we have at the moment - it slows their metabolism right down and so they need less oxygen and will survive longer in air."
The ruling on Thursday by South Africa's Constitutional Court - that he breached the country's constitution by refusing to repay government money spent on his private home in rural Nkandla - has left him with limited room for manoeuvre.
Mr Zuma has survived numerous allegations of corruption and cronyism. Here are five possible scenarios that could determine his fate:
This was always going to be unlikely to happen, and the odds lengthened even further after Friday's apology. President Zuma is not someone who gives up easily. He is a master strategist who always tries to be ahead of the game.
The Youth League and Women's League of the governing African National Congress (ANC), key groups, have already come out to support him.
The opposition in parliament led by the Democratic Alliance (DA) has already filed a motion to move for impeachment. They also rejected his apology, saying it was "an insult to our intelligence."
The word impeachment does not actually appear anywhere in the South African constitution. The phrase used under Section 89 is the Removal of President.
But for now, let's agree to use impeachment.
They would need a two-thirds majority - that is 267 MPs out of 400 - to succeed in their quest to remove Mr Zuma from power. Unfortunately for them the numbers do not stack up.
The DA is the largest opposition party but has only 89 MPs, compared with the ANC's 249. They would need a significant number of ANC MPs to vote with them for this to happen. Julius Malema's radical Economic Freedom Fighters has 25 MPs.
Even though DA leader Mmusi Maimane told me he thinks ANC MPs would vote with their conscience, I think it is still highly unlikely. The ANC responded within minutes of President Zuma's TV address, rejected by opposition parties, to say it "welcomed the president's apology" and stood by him.
But do not mistake Friday night's public show of support for Mr Zuma as the voice of a unified party. The ANC is bitterly divided now. There are those who would agree with the motion because they are keen to see the back of their leader.
But others would never vote against a leader who was elected at an ANC congress with a majority mandate from 5,000 delegates.
If impeachment fails, it means the president stays. However, the DA can call for a Motion of No-Confidence.
The difference between Removal of President (i.e. impeachment) and Motion of No Confidence is that the former is a punitive measure.
By going through the impeachment route, the DA wants to punish the president, Lawson Naidoo, executive secretary of the Council for the Advancement of the SA Constitution, told me.
"If the president is removed through this process he loses all the benefits of his office, for example he will not receive his pension. He also cannot hold any other public office. But if he is removed through the motion of no-confidence, he can receive benefits."
The DA also said it would go back to the Constitutional Court to make it difficult for the ANC to justify keeping President Zuma in office.
Even if they do that, it would be hard to see how any judgement from the judiciary would order the president to step down.
Under South Africa's electoral system, there is no judge who can remove a democratically elected president. Separation of powers prohibits the courts from ordering the firing of an official elected by the will of the people.
Even Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng pointed this out during Thursday's historic judgement.
He said: "It falls outside the parameters of judicial authority to prescribe to the National Assembly how to scrutinise executive action‚ what mechanisms to establish and which mandate to give them‚ for the purpose of holding the Executive accountable and fulfilling its oversight role of the Executive or organs of State in general. The mechanics of how to go about fulfilling these constitutional obligations is a discretionary matter best left to the National Assembly".
What Mr Zuma must pay for
How Zuma's Nkandla home has grown
Profile: Jacob Zuma
Even though the top six leaders welcomed Mr Zuma's no-resignation-apology, the ANC's 100-member national executive committee can convene a special meeting and ask the president to resign, and replace him with the current Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa.
This would create the dreaded two centres of power that the ANC has tried to avoid since 2007. It would mean Mr Ramaphosa would be president of the republic while Mr Zuma remained head of the party.
There was some talk that the party term, which ends in 2017, ought to be aligned with the national election scheduled for 2019 precisely to navigate away from having two separate individuals running the state and party respectively.
According to the constitution, there is a two-term limit for the president. The ANC does not have a limit, even though it punished Thabo Mbeki when he wanted to stand for a third term as party leader but knowing that he would step down as head of state.
This could well happen but probably only after the municipal elections expected later in the year. In other words, the jury is still out on whether Mr Zuma could be recalled.
The ANC does nothing at all and sticks with President Zuma at the helm. And for now, given the rallying call to support him after he apologised live on TV, this seems to be the case.
The most plausible outcome is that the ANC will wait until after the municipal elections due later this year before it makes any move.
There is an argument that it is too risky to remove Mr Zuma now as it would cost the party dearly in the forthcoming polls.
But there is another hurdle which might force party officials to move ahead of time.
In a couple of months, a Pretoria High Court is expected to deliver a ruling on whether to reinstate corruption charges against Mr Zuma.
The DA took the matter to court because it believed the decision to drop over 700 corruption charges shortly before Mr Zuma became president in 2009 should not have happened.
This is likely to further tarnish the name of the ANC in the middle of an election campaign. No-one at party headquarters in Luthuli House would want that, particularly after the hurricane ruling by the Constitutional Court this week.

The London side had been hanging on - with goalkeeper Robert Green making a series of good saves - before Zamora pounced on an error from Derby defender Richard Keogh to score just his fourth goal of the season with Rangers' only shot on target.
Harry Redknapp's side had been reduced to 10 men just before the hour when Gary O'Neil was red carded for a late challenge on Johnny Russell, who was closing down on goal.
Bobby Zamora's goal came with QPR's first and only shot on target in the match. The 33-year-old's last three goals for the club have arrived in the 90th minute or later
Derby were already in the ascendancy by then and looked likely to go on and win the contest after assuming a numerical advantage. But Rangers defended with courage and organisation and struck decisively through Zamora, as boss Redknapp ended his first play-off campaign with promotion.
QPR had laboured through periods of the Championship season and won just four of their previous 10 games coming into the Wembley final.
But they can now start planning for a return to the top flight, with the club set to benefit by £80m according to one estimate from Sport Business Group Deloitte.
However, it may not all be plain sailing for Rangers, who made a £65.4m loss during the 2012-13 season and could yet face a huge fine at the end of the year under the Football League's financial fair play regulations if they suffer another heavy loss for the campaign just finished.
None of this will matter to luckless Derby, who were the better side for large periods.
They have played with spirit, skill and freedom under manager Steve McClaren, who took over in September with the club 14th in the Championship table.
But the young Rams side will have to wait for at least another year if they are to return to the Premier League for the first time since their relegation in 2008.
4,264 - The total amount of appearances in the Premier League made by the 27 QPR players who have previously played in the top flight
QPR, rich in age and experience, initially looked the most accomplished but they created few clear openings - top scorer Charlie Austin shot over from distance and Joey Barton smashed a free-kick into the wall - and lost Niko Kranjcar to injury by break.
Derby lined up 4-3-3 with Will Hughes retaining his place in midfield despite the return to fitness of Craig Bryson as both teams were unchanged from their semi-final second-leg fixtures.
At first, the Rams looked like a young team suffering stage fright before slowly starting to impose themselves on the contest.
Craig Forsyth headed wide and the increasingly influential Hughes thought he had been caught inside the area by Richard Dunne after pulling off a Cruyff turn but his protests were ignored by referee Lee Mason.

The nearest the game came to a goal before the end of a poor opening half was through a Jamie Ward free-kick that everybody missed except for Hoops keeper Green, who made a good scrambling save.
Austin shot wide after the restart but, that aside, Derby were clearly on top and the odds moved further in their favour when O'Neil was dismissed for his challenge on Russell just short of the penalty area. Rangers lost possession in midfield and O'Neil unquestionably snuffed out a goalscoring opportunity.
By now the momentum was firmly in Derby's favour and Green made a trio of saves to deny substitutes Craig Bryson and Simon Dawkins as well as Chris Martin.
It was one team holding on, another punching holes in the opposition defence and looking to strike a decisive blow but, after Derby failed to clear a throw-in and the soon-to-be inconsolable Rams captain Keogh scuffed his clearance, Zamora buried his effort from 10 yards as Rangers snatched victory.

Abby says they are doing it now because "leaving it to the last minute is a lot more stressful and all the good stuff tends to go".
She adds that they have actually been browsing for gifts and decorations since August.
Another shopper, Alexis Beldam from Stevenage, says she "would rather do it in one big hit so I don't have to worry about it anymore".
"If you've got the money it makes sense to do it early," she says.
In truth, most of us still prefer to do our shopping nearer to Christmas, and research from PwC suggests the busiest shopping day of the season will be 23 December this year.
However, there is also evidence to suggest the festive shopping period has been starting earlier in recent years.
In 2015 supermarkets Morrisons and Asda both premiered their Christmas TV ads earlier in November than in 2014, to reflect consumer and sector trends.
And John Lewis and Lidl told the BBC that their shoppers start browsing for Christmas goods in September.
Moreover, in 2014 the Royal Statistical Society found that Brits were starting to think about Christmas in late August, around three months earlier than in 2007.
"We often complain about the Christmas creep but the fact is many shoppers are looking to spread the cost while others simply want to get their shopping done early," says Natalie Berg, an analyst at Planet Retail.
"Now it's common to see Christmas merchandise on shelves by 1 October," she adds.
Other factors are driving us to buy earlier too, she says, though perhaps not as early as August - the biggest being the huge discount sale Black Friday and its online cousin Cyber Monday in late November.
The sales, which originated in America and have grown in popularity in the UK over the last few years, are now some retailers' biggest day of trade of the year - not to mention a perfect opportunity to pick up Christmas bargains.
"Christmas goods may be on the shelves but shoppers have been trained to wait for discounts," says Mrs Berg.
"In fact, many shoppers today know that the first half of November is actually the worst time to buy for Christmas because everything will go on sale on Black Friday."
The trend is borne out by retailers' sales figures, says Andy Mulcahy, head of e-logistics at retail analysts IMRG.
"In the years following the economic crash in 2008, we tracked a trend for Christmas shopping starting earlier... so that people could spread the costs over a longer period.
"But Black Friday has gradually changed that. For the past two years, retailers have seen a slow start to Christmas trading, before condensing high volumes of orders into a short time frame around late November."
Black Friday may not be your last opportunity to snag a bargain before Christmas, though.
In fact, weaker-than-expected sales last year prompted some retailers to bring forward their January sales to 19 December, so called "panic Saturday".
However, there may be another incentive to get our shopping done earlier in 2016 - the threat of looming inflation linked to the recent fall in the value of the pound.
Since Britain voted to leave the EU, sterling is down by around a fifth against the dollar, raising the cost of imported goods. Notably, Tesco temporarily halted online sales of brands such as Marmite in October after manufacturer Unilever tried to raise its prices by about 10%, blaming currency trends.
But while Mrs Berg believes this will be in some consumers' minds in the run-up to Christmas, in reality price rises for most goods are not likely to be passed on to consumers until 2017.
Kien Tan, a retail expert at PwC, agrees. "Many of the gifts that we will buy over the Christmas period - things like toys and clothes - will have been ordered by retailers much earlier in the year, so will not have been affected by the falling pound," he says.
"And, even though inflation rose by 1% in September, the price of groceries actually fell because of the intense competition between supermarkets to win our custom.
"So we don't think inflation will affect our Christmas shopping plans this year."
Perhaps not surprisingly, retailers the BBC spoke to declined to say whether they would put up prices before Christmas.
However, it looks like at least some goods and services will be more expensive by then.
In October, the Wine and Spirit Trade Association warned that wine importers, merchants and retailers were already starting to see profits squeezed by the weak pound.
And online wine retailer Naked Wines said it would raise the cost of its wine by 5% from November because of increasing import costs linked to sterling.
Mrs Berg does not expect retailers to put up prices for most goods in January because customers have come to expect the January sales. However, with inflation widely expected to breach the Bank of England's 2% target in early 2017, we will almost certainly be feeling the pinch by next February or March, she says.
According to Mr Tan, it is "inevitable" that many things we buy from abroad will be affected - from food to clothing to electronic goods.
And for shoppers on Oxford Street that is concerning.
Bev from Manchester says she is worried about prices rising next year because her wages "aren't keeping up".
Another, Josie, says she "will probably be affected because I plan to retire next year, so it is worrying".
With Christmas likely to be considerably more expensive in 2017, the incentive to shop early is only going to get stronger, it seems.
Gareth Cross, from Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, found a crack in the screen of his Apple Watch Sport 10 days after buying the £339 device last year.
Apple responded to an initial complaint by saying the problem was not covered by the warranty.
Mr Cross then successfully took his case to a small claims court for breach of the Sale of Goods Act.
Apple must pay Mr Cross a total of £429 - the cost of the watch plus court fees - by 22 February.
The legal action lasted six months, and Mr Cross - who describes himself as a "Mac fanatic and all-round geek" on Twitter - told the BBC: "I couldn't understand why they would want to go to court over the issue, but ultimately I wanted [to] stand by my consumer rights," he said.
"The case did start to become a little stressful, especially toward the end with the prospect of having to attend court to defend my claim against what was the most valuable company in the world."
Mr Cross added that he had been "relieved" when the judge ruled Apple had breached the contract of sale by refusing to fix the watch.
"I plan to buy another Apple Watch, as for the 10 days I had it, I really liked it," said Mr Cross, "but I may wait until the next model is out."
Apple has been approached for comment.

It is the first time it has come to Wales after being granted an operator's licence in January and an Uber spokesman said more than 100 drivers had signed up in the city.
Reporter Sophie Gidley tried it out, but was mistakenly charged £34.61 for a 3.24-mile trip after a GPS glitch.
I had heard good things about Uber - a taxi app that allows you to hail a driver from the comfort of your smartphone.
With its launch in Cardiff on Friday afternoon, I set off to the city centre to secure a cab.
The fact I had to wait about 15 minutes, when the estimated time was three minutes, did make me wonder if things would go without a hitch.
Sadly, my gut instinct proved right.
A ride from Cardiff Castle back to BBC Wales in Llandaff cost me a staggering £34.61 for a trip little over three miles.
Looking at the Uber fare breakdown, the app calculated we travelled 3.24 miles - with mileage charged at £1.25 per mile, that works out at £4.05.
I also spent about 27 minutes in the car, at 15p per minute, which also works out at £4.05.
Add those together, with a £2 base fare, it totals £10.10.
So I was amazed - and felt rather ripped off - that I somehow ended up being charged more than three times times that amount.
UPDATE: A spokesman for Uber has since contacted me to say there was a "glitch" with the GPS which has "now been resolved".
"Your fare should have been a fraction of what it was and we have completely refunded your journey. I can only apologise for that," he told me.
Uber also said the glitch was not Cardiff-wide and only affected "a small number of trips".
On the dusty plains north of Johannesburg, a gruelling battle is taking place in the world's biggest platinum mining community, as the longest, most destructive strike in South African history enters its fifth month.
"We just want it to end. We go to school hungry. It's hard to concentrate," said 18-year-old Thabiso, surrounded by five friends, who all nodded vigorously in agreement as they walked home from school past the grey buildings of the now-silent Marikana mine - notorious as the place where police shot dead 34 striking miners in 2012.
The children's mothers had been standing on the roadside nearby since before dawn, having heard that a local charity might be handing out food parcels.
"There is no money. We are struggling. But we are angry - we want 12,500," said Wendy, who did not want to give her surname.
That is 12,500 South African rand - approximately $1,200 (£700) - and is the totemic figure claimed as a non-negotiable entry-level wage demand by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu), the fiery new union that has swept to prominence on the platinum belt in recent years.
The three mine owners at the centre of the strike - Lonmin, Amplats and Impala - say that figure, almost triple the current basic wage, is simply unaffordable. Union and management are currently locked in a new round of negotiations.
"All of us, we're prepared to die, if we don't get that 12,500," declared Kaiser Madiba, sitting playing a card game called "casino" with a group of striking miners in the informal shanty town of corrugated iron shacks, close to the spot where their 34 colleagues were shot dead almost two years ago.
Lonmin says the strike has already cost it a third of annual production, but Mr Madiba shrugged off the threat of bankruptcy.
"That is not our problem. Another company will come," he insisted.
But not every miner shares that defiance.
As the strike drags on and pressures on families intensify, a growing number have indicated a desire to return to work, but complain that they are being prevented by intimidation, and even by murder.
"They stop us from going to work. I've been attacked three times, my wife got a miscarriage and our house was burned down," said Fred Mekgwe, a worker at the nearby Impala mine and a member of the once dominant National Union of Mineworkers.
"I want that money. I'm not against the strike, but they're disrespecting the picketing rules," he said.
"This is a democracy, but it's not working for us. People are being killed."
Mr Mekgwe had agreed to meet in a neutral spot, far from his home village.
As he left, another miner approached me, saying he too was scared for his life.
"I'd like to go back to work," said Thabiso Arelesego.
"I don't have any food left at home. Let's say out of 10, about eight of us want to go back to work - the ratio is very high.
"Maybe if the army would intervene we'd be safe, if the army moved around the villages and the shafts."
The immediate priority may be to broker an end to the current strike, but there is a growing acknowledgement that more substantial reforms are needed to save the industry.
The proposals include a radical change to shift patterns, better housing for migrant workers, empowerment deals to give employees a real stake in their companies, a return to the disciplines of collective bargaining, and a frank assessment of executive pay levels.
"The industry needs to change the way it's been structured," said Gavin Hartford, an industrial sociologist and mining consultant.
"We're one of the most unequal societies in the world and I don't believe we can deal with the labour problems if we don't grasp that nettle."
Following a cabinet reshuffle, there is a new mining minister in place, but suspicion of the state - the police and the governing alliance which includes the trade union federation - runs deep in places like Marikana, and strong leadership appears to be in short supply.
"There's a long road and a long journey of change still to happen, and it requires significant leadership… to create a productive, humane mining industry," said Mr Hartford.
"The sine qua non… requires us to be very honest about our failures."
In the meantime, the local economy around Rustenberg - as well as the Eastern Cape where many of the migrant workers come from - is reeling under the devastating impact of the strike.
"This is not taking us anywhere. The economy is going down. It's not only the mining industry," said Mr Mekgwe.
" The salary I'm getting is not enough, but it is my responsibility and the responsibility of the company to resolve this in an amicable way."
Strontian Community School Building Limited proposes replacing a mid-1970s primary school building with a new one on another site in Strontian.
The group has received £50,825 from the Scottish Land Fund to buy a plot next to Ardnamurchan High School.
The rest of the funding needed to pay for the school is to come from a loan and community shares offer.
Once built, the building would be leased to Highland Council. The local authority has described the project as "innovative".
The new building would be designed in such a way that it could easily be converted into three terraced houses, or another community facility, in the future.
This conversion would happen if Highland Council later decided to construct its own primary school in the village.
Donald McCorkindale, chairman of Strontian Community School Building Ltd, said the group was delighted to receive the grant from the Scottish Land Fund.
He said: "It is a huge boost not only in financial terms but in the confidence placed in this ground breaking initiative."
John Watt, of the Scottish Land Fund's committee, said: "In Strontian, local people have spoken and decided that they want to purchase land on which to build a new community owned asset, in this case a primary school.
"This unique proposal has both community and public sector support and includes a longer term plan that will see the community owned building designed to be converted into much needed housing in the future."
Land Reform Secretary Roseanna Cunningham added: "I am delighted that, with support from the Scottish Land Fund, the community in Strontian now have the ability to purchase a strategic piece of land in their village.
"The ownership of this will allow them to progress their ambitious and innovative project to initially house the local primary school and, in the longer-term, provide much needed affordable housing."
The 19-year-old has signed a five-year deal at Villa Park.
"He's dynamic, very quick and a maverick-type player - you never know what he's going to do next and I mean that as a compliment," Villa manager Tim Sherwood told BBC WM 95.6.
"He's a huge asset for this club. He can hurt the opposition and I'm delighted to bring him here."
Traore made four senior appearances for Barca but the majority of his football has been with the Spanish giants' B team, scoring eight times in 63 Segunda Division games. He has represented Spain at under-16, under-17 and under-19 levels.
"He comes from a very good academy with Barcelona and I've known him a long time," said Sherwood.
"He makes his mind up when he gets the ball and those players are rare - there aren't many players in the Premier League that can do that.
"We're getting him at the midway part of his development. He's not the finished article by a long way but he can certainly help us out in the short-term and in the future."

The company plans to use the gas as a raw material for its chemicals plants, including Grangemouth in Stirlingshire.
Grangemouth is currently running at a loss, but Ineos believes shale gas will transform the economics of the plant.
Shale gas extraction is promoted as an important potential energy source, but has sparked opposition from environmental groups.
Ineos chairman Jim Ratcliffe said he wanted his company "to become the biggest player in the UK shale gas industry".
The firm added that "substantial further investment would follow if the company moved to development and production".
Shale gas is extracted through a technique known as fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, in which water and chemicals are pumped into shale rock at high pressure.
Numerous anti-fracking groups have formed and protests have been staged at several sites over fears of earthquakes, water pollution and environmental damage.
Ineos is currently building Europe's largest shale gas import facility to feed its petrochemicals plant at Grangemouth - but it wants to produce home-grown shale gas as well.
In recent months it has been buying up rights to explore across hundreds of square miles of the Midland Valley around the Stirlingshire site.
Ineos is also thought to have applied for further licences as part of the government's ongoing onshore licensing round.
The company outlined plans on Thursday to invest $1bn (£640m) in UK exploration.
"I believe shale gas could revolutionise UK manufacturing and I know Ineos has the resources to make it happen, the skills to extract the gas safely and the vision to realise that everyone must share in the rewards," said Mr Ratcliffe.
BBC industry correspondent John Moylan said the move will be seen as a significant vote of confidence in the sector, and will position Ineos as one of the major players in the emerging industry.
But, he added, it will also put Ineos in the sights of protesters who believe shale gas and fracking are dangerous and harmful to the environment.
A spokesman for Greenpeace UK characterised Ineos' investment as "giant speculative bets on unproven and risky resources".
"It seems that Ineos have based their business plan on breathless PR brochures rather than scientific reports," he added.
Earlier this year, Ineos announced plans to hand over up to £2.5bn of shale gas revenues to communities close to its wells.
The company has bought the licence for shale gas exploration and development across a 329sq km area around its Grangemouth power plant.
It will give away 6% of revenues to local homeowners and landowners.
However, Friends of the Earth Scotland criticised the move as "a transparent attempt to bribe communities".
The British Geological Survey has estimated there are "modest" shale gas and oil resources in the area.
Fracking is used extensively in the US where it has revolutionised the energy industry.
The Scottish government has called for devolved powers on fracking after the UK government decided to press ahead with plans to let companies drill at depths of 300m below private land without consent.
Analysis: John Moylan, BBC Industries Correspondent
This sounds like a huge investment by Ineos.
But any firm wanting to bring shale gas from the exploration stage through to full production will have to spend hundreds of millions of pounds.
An industry report earlier this year suggested that a single shale gas production site with 10 wells might cost as much as £350m. So firms intending to have multiple gas production sites will have to spend eye-watering sums.
But the timing of this announcement is key. The government is currently assessing applications made by operators for new onshore licences to explore for shale gas.
Firms have to demonstrate that they have the cash and know-how to exploit a license area. If this has been a competitive license round - and there's a suggestion that this is the case - then firms like Ineos will have to lobby hard to ensure they get the areas that they want.
There could be more announcements like this from other industry players in the weeks and months ahead.
He said the announcement would "bring tourists to Wales, help our exporters reach new markets and create new jobs".
But the Bridgend AM called for consequential funding to flow to Wales as a result, as well as landing slots and new rail links.
Plaid Cymru's Adam Price accused Mr Jones of giving his support "in return for nothing".
Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said the UK government's move showed Wales was "open for business".
Mr Jones said: "I welcome this long-awaited announcement, which will benefit Welsh passengers."
He reiterated his call a "fair allocation" of landing slots for Wales at the expanded airport and urged the UK government to deliver the Western Rail Link to Heathrow by 2024.
Mr Jones added he would work to ensure Wales received consequential funding "to which it is entitled to under the Barnett formula" - the system which decides how much Wales is funded by the UK treasury - and would continue to press for air passenger duty (APD) to be devolved.
It is understood the Welsh Government would want a share of any UK government money spent on upgrading the rail network as a result of the third runway expansion.
Plaid Cymru criticised the Welsh Government after it emerged Scottish ministers had agreed a "memorandum of understanding" with Heathrow.
The agreement committed the airport to the creation of 16,000 jobs in Scotland, a reduction in the cost of landing charges and £200m in construction spending during planning and construction.
Mr Price, Plaid's economy spokesman, said: "Unfortunately, the first minister has granted the proposal the Welsh Government's support in return for nothing."
He said a "savvier first minister" would have sought out assurances on improved transport connections, construction spending and for a share of public funds invested.
The Welsh Government said officials had been in discussions with Heathrow about "maximising" the benefits of a third runway - including upgrading transport links and securing manufacturing and construction contracts.
Speaking to BBC Wales, Mr Cairns said Heathrow expansion was almost entirely privately-financed but Wales would get a share of any public spending on infrastructure.
He rejected calls for APD to be devolved, saying evidence suggested there would be a net loss of flights from Cardiff and Bristol airports.
He suggested Welsh ministers would increase the tax rather than cut it.
Roger Lewis, chairman of Cardiff Airport, said a flight between Heathrow and Cardiff Airport was "not out of the question".
He said the journey time between Cardiff Airport and Heathrow would be similar to the existing link to City Airport, which takes 35 minutes.
"You could check-in at Cardiff... and go straight the way through to destinations across the world," Mr Lewis told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme.
The airport chief argued Cardiff could help ease long-haul congestion at Heathrow ahead of any new capacity coming into operation.
Meanwhile, Spanish airline Iberia Express announced on Tuesday that it would be flying to Madrid from Cardiff Airport for the summer 2017 season.
Piloting his Nissan-powered Algarve Pro Racing Ligier LMP2 sportscar - and partnered by Frenchman Andrea Pizzitola and Brit Michael Munemann - Hoy finished 12th in class and 18th overall, in the 60-car field.
The 40-year-old from Edinburgh's contribution to the team's achievement was notable.
Thrown in at the deep end on the famous 8.45-mile circuit, which encompasses closed-off public roads normally used by cars, lorries and trundling French tractors, Hoy started with a quadruple stint that lasted 2 hours 40 minutes.
"Aye, there was none of this being eased into the race," he said as he celebrated with another beer in the French sunshine. "I was right into it: strapped into the car and, seconds later, travelling at around 180mph on the Mulsanne Straight.
"It's been the most exhilarating experience. I knew it would be tough, but I didn't underestimate Le Mans. I did three stints; a quadruple and two triples.
"Getting into the car for my final stint was tough. I'd had a massage and an hour-and-a-quarter's sleep and I think I slept too much.
"I woke up and felt drunk with tiredness, almost jet-lagged. It was about 7am and I was back in the car around 8.20am for my final stint."
Hoy, who said finishing the race felt like winning another medal to add to his six-gold Olympic haul, reflected on the harsh reality of getting back on-track.
"It's just 'bang', you're out on the track with guys who have been at full pace for hours," he said. "They're on it and you have to be on it too.
"There's none of this 'ah, I'll just take a lap and ease myself into it'. It's the ferocity of the pace and the fact the track has the potential to bite you at any moment.
"You need to be aggressive and fast, but you also need to treat it with respect.
"If you don't attack it, you won't get the performance. But, if you take liberties, you'll be in the wall. And it's a high-speed circuit, so you're likely to get hurt, or, yes, killed."
Hoy found the whole experience "amazing".
"I'm delighted and proud to have been part of it this year," he said.
Hoy, who has dedicated himself to four wheels since retiring from cycling after the London Olympics in 2012, is aware this could be his only opportunity to race at Le Mans.
"At the moment, this race brings my motorsport programme to an end," said the Scot, who will be at the Rio Olympics this summer as an ambassador for Nissan, the global car giant that backed his Le Mans assault.
"There's nothing else in the calendar for the rest of the year, unfortunately, but I've got the Le Mans bug and I'm desperate to come back, do it again and improve my driving.
"As we know, racing costs money, but I'd love to come back and race again."
Along with Hoy, three other Scots contested the 84th running of the race.
Kirkcaldy's Jonny Adam powered his Aston Martin to sixth in the highly competitive GTE Pro class, but there was frustration and disappointment for two other Scots.
While the Extreme Speed Motorsport Ligier-Nissan of Airdrie's Ryan Dalziel finished 16th in LMP2, the Ford GT of Bathgate's Marino Franchitti endured a miserable race.
Gear selection problems meant the car started from the pitlane, two laps behind the leaders.
Worse was to follow a few laps later when the problems resurfaced, requiring almost two hours in the garage.
While Franchitti fought back to finish ninth in GTE Pro, and 41st overall, he was left contemplating what might have been: his team-mates in the three other Fords finished first, third and fourth.
At the head of the main LMP1 field, Porsche won its 18th Le Mans in dramatic style.
Having spent the bulk of the race behind the Toyota TS050 Hybrid, the Porsche 919 Hybrid inherited the lead when the Japanese car ground to a halt on the start-finish line with just three minutes remaining.
The Toyota, driven my Japan's Kazuki Nakajima, Swiss Sebastien Buemi and Brit Anthony Davidson, lost power on the penultimate lap, allowing Porsche to clinch the win.
It also allowed the sister Toyota of Briton Mike Conway, Frenchman Stephane Sarrazin and Japan's Kamui Kobayashi to be promoted to second.
Toyota has now finished second at Le Mans five times.
Audi, which endured a testing 24 hours with its brand new R18 Hybrid, took the final step on the podium with its car driven by England's Oliver Jarvis, Brazilian Lucas di Grassi, and Frenchman Loic Duval.
The German manufacturer, whose new car is the most technologically advanced in the sport, and which is the first of a pioneering new breed of hybrid sportscars, uncharacteristically struggled for reliability.
Former Dumfries racer Allan McNish, a three-time winner who is now a pivotal figure at Audi, admitted: "It's certainly not gone as smoothly as we had hoped, but we'll learn from this and come back bigger and stronger."
The device went off as the man drove away from his home in the Sweep Road area of Cookstown. He was not injured in the attack.
The man is a former police officer who currently works as a guard at the town's PSNI station.
PSNI Chief Supt Michael Skuce said those who planted the bomb had "scant regard" for human life.
It is the third attempted car bomb attack on security personnel in the past seven days. It was the first time one of the devices exploded.
Dissident republicans have been blamed for the attacks.
Police said the alert began at about 0800 BST on Tuesday.
The Sweep Road was closed to the Glenavon Hotel as army bomb experts examined the car but has since reopened.
A number of homes and a children nursery were also evacuated.
Chief Supt Skuce described the road where the device partially exploded as very busy, especially at that time of the morning.
"This device was designed for one purpose - to kill and injure," he said.
"This is a densely populated and busy area. We are fortunate that we are not dealing with a multiple murder here today."
Last Wednesday, a device fell from the car of an Army major in Bangor and on Saturday, a Catholic police officer was targeted in Kilkeel, both in County Down.
On Tuesday, Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said such attacks did "nothing to further any cause".
"There is no support for the action of these people and the complete lack of any sort of mandate for mindless attacks is in stark contrast to the overwhelming public support that exists for the institutions which the first minister and myself lead," he said.
The first minister, Peter Robinson, said those behind the bombs wanted to "bring death and destruction back onto our streets"
"As an administration, that enjoys the support of all sections of the community, we will remain steadfast in our determination not to be deterred or deviate from our course," he added.
Acting chair of the Policing Board, Brian Rea, called on the community to help the police investigation.
He said those responsible had no "concern for the community".
Nottinghamshire Police has also started reviewing future events for potential threats and has called in specialist security advisers.
The force's chief constable said people can expect to see extra officers - armed and unarmed - on the streets.
He said they are there as "a message of reassurance to the local community".
"We will defeat this vile evil if we stand together," Chief Constable Craig Guildford said.
"The police play a key part in that and I would reassure the public there are no links back to Nottinghamshire at this stage.
"What I am absolutely sending is a message of reassurance to the communities of Nottinghamshire, including those businesses that run these types of venues, and that is as a community, we stand together."
The force has also sent officers to Manchester to relieve police who have been working through the night.
A man set off a bomb in the foyer of Manchester Arena at 22:33 BST on Monday, at the end of a concert by Ariana Grande.
The 22 people who died include eight-year-old Saffie Roussos and teenager Georgina Callander.
The explosion also injured 59 people.
Nottinghamshire opener Hales, 26, played in England's final two group matches at the tournament, including the decisive defeat against Bangladesh.
"I think all of us are embarrassed about what happened," Hales told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"The skill level and standard of cricket we showed wasn't good enough."
Bopara, 29, featured in England's dead rubber against Afghanistan, where he did not bat in the match as they chased down a low total for victory.
The Essex batsman believes England's players struggled to show what they were actually capable of during the event.
"I can't stand here and lie - we probably did play with fear and did not express ourselves as we should," Bopara told BBC Sport.
"But at least we've identified that. We've been honest with each other and we are going to change the culture in the team."
Hales was overlooked for the defeats against New Zealand, Australia and Sri Lanka, as well as the win over Scotland.
But he returned to the side against Bangladesh - scoring 27 - and retained his place in the meaningless nine-wicket win over Afghanistan in Sydney, where he scored 37.
Hales had not played in nearly a month before his first appearance, but he refused to blame a lack of cricket for failing to hit a big score.
"The standards we set and the way we played was poor," Hales said.
"It was a bit frustrating carrying the drinks for a few games but I am disappointed I didn't take my chance. I felt ready for it."
Hales is convinced England do have the quality in their domestic game and are capable of playing a brand of cricket that will challenge the best sides.
The national side will get the chance to prove that theory when New Zealand and Australia visit to play a series of one-day internationals.
He added: "If you look around English cricket there are some talented, young, dynamic players and it's about us creating an environment where everyone is comfortable to go out and express that.
"It's going to be a very tough summer of one-day cricket playing arguably the two best teams in the world, so we all know we have to raise our standards.
"I am looking forward to it and hope I can nail down a spot in the team."
Having completed a second round of 66 earlier on Saturday, Poulter struggled to recapture that form as he fired three bogeys and a double bogey.
Australia's Wade Ormsby leads by one on 12 under after a third-round 68.
Poulter, countryman Lee Westwood and Germany's Marcel Siem are tied for second on 11 under.
"That's brought a lot of players back into the fray," said Poulter. "Their dinner is going to taste lovely and mine is going to taste horrible."
Siem, 34, is one of three players who can usurp Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy at the top of the European Tour money list.
The tournament is the third event of the Tour's Race to Dubai Final Series, which culminates with the World Tour Championship in Dubai from 20-23 November.
Sergio Garcia, who along with Jamie Donaldson completes the trio who can pass McIlroy, shot the day's low round of 65 but remains seven shots off the pace.
England's Danny Willett remains in contention on 10 under alongside American Brooks Koepka, with first-round leader Miguel Angel Jimenez a shot further back.
Play was abandoned early on Friday because of thunderstorms, so players began Saturday by completing their second rounds.
Poulter played the remaining four holes of his second round in one under, but bogeyed the first in his third round and never settled thereafter.
The 38-year-old looked set to hang onto at least a share of the lead, but a superb eagle at the 18th from Ormsby ensured he would go into Sunday's final round with a slender lead.
But he will have to contend with the in-form Siem, who continued his excellent form after his victory at the BMW Masters earlier this month with a fine round of 66.
It was the only Scottish newspaper that backed independence in the run-up to the referendum in September.
It saw its print sales rise by 35% in the July to December period, compared with figures for the end of 2013.
The Glasgow-based newspaper reached 32,200 average weekly sales and pulled ahead of its rival, Scotland on Sunday.
The Edinburgh-based title reported print sales fall by 16% to 27,500.
That is the first time the Sunday Herald has been ahead in the 16 years since it launched.
The sales figures were released by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC).
The Sunday Herald's stablemate, The Herald, which recommended a No vote to its readers in the September referendum, saw average sales down 5% to 37,000.
Herald and Times Group managing director Tim Blott said: "Our news brand reach is growing overall with an increasing digital audience across our main titles and improving print circulation figures for The Sunday Herald.
"We're outperforming the market and our rivals because we understand our readers and provide news and content which is relevant, informative, insightful and entertaining".
The Scotsman, partner to Scotland on Sunday, was down 11% to 26,000.
However, both these daily titles reported daily online users were strongly up: the Herald by 39% to 96,400 and the Scotsman by 34% to 182,500.
In September, the month of the referendum, the Scotsman's online figure rose to 240,000. Few other Scottish publishers report online readership.
The new entrant to the daily market, The National, was launched by the Herald stable in November. It takes a campaigning approach in favour of independence, and enjoyed an initial surge in sales.
Although not audited, managers say that sales figures have fallen below 20,000, but remain ahead of expectations.
DC Thomson-owned regional daily titles The Press and Journal and The Courier both saw print sales fall, by 5% and 7% respectively, between July and December.
The Met Office has issued a yellow "be aware" warning and said driving conditions "will be difficult with journeys likely to take longer".
Cardiff, Caerphilly, Vale of Glamorgan, Newport, Torfaen, Monmouthshire, Powys, Wrexham, Flintshire and Denbighshire are affected from 17:00 GMT.
The fog will be dense and become widespread in some areas of Wales.
The fog is expected to slowly lift by 11:00 on Tuesday but it may persist in some areas throughout the day.
The milk looks and tastes like conventional cow's milk - being marked today by the Food and Agriculture Organization in its World Milk Day - but proponents claim it is more easily digested.
Mr Sadler is a third-generation dairy farmer from Shropshire. He's been selling the milk his cows produce to global dairy firm The a2 Milk Company since 2012.
And he's a firm believer in the product.
"A friend of mine recently moved onto [the milk] because of problems with irritable bowel syndrome. Now he's a total convert to it and those problems have gone," he says.
"From my own point of view, I've had eczema all my life. Within three weeks of converting our herd to A2, my eczema disappeared.
"It was astonishing. I never would've believed in all the years that I've had eczema that it was linked to a dairy intolerance, but it was."
Mr Sadler is not the only one convinced of the benefits.
The a2 Milk Company already has a 9% share of the milk market in Australia, where the company is based. Now it's hoping to achieve similar success in Britain and the US by convincing people to stop drinking dairy alternatives and give cow's milk another try.
"People think they've got issues with milk," says Scott Wotherspoon, the firm's UK chief executive. "So they start drinking things like soy milk or almond milk.
"If you can show them not all milk is the same, then you can bring them back to milk and they can realise that the discomfort they felt with milk is not necessarily to do with things like lactose, it's actually to do with the protein that's in milk."
According to the company, a protein called A1 in regular cow's milk is behind many milk-related digestion issues. In its product, that protein is replaced with a rarer protein called A2.
To strengthen its case, the firm has sponsored a medical trial in China. Forty-five people drank either regular milk or A2 milk at different times, while scientists at Shanghai's Fudan University studied how their bodies reacted.
The results have been published in Nutrition Journal. Gastroenterologist Xia Lu was part of the research team.
"Those that drank milk containing only A2 had no gastrointestinal disturbance, compared to those who drank A1, who had high inflammation, bloating and constipation," she says.
Unsurprisingly, The a2 Milk Company is heavily promoting the results.
Though quick to point out that its milk isn't suitable for those who are lactose intolerant, the company says the research could be significant for many who wrongly believe themselves to be allergic to milk.
But not everyone is convinced.
In 2012 in the UK, the company agreed to remove claims from its A2 milk ads that it was suitable for those with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance, after complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority that this had not been proved.
In 2011, New Zealand's advertising watchdog upheld a complaint against a supermarket advertisement for A2 milk, saying the beneficial claims were not backed up by scientific evidence.
A number of experts in Australia have also rejected the company's claims.
In the past, The a2 Milk Company suggested the A1 protein in regular cow's milk could be harmful, linking it to diabetes, autism and heart disease. But the claims were dismissed by scientists who concluded there was no such evidence.
The a2 Milk Company even tried to petition regulators in Australia and New Zealand to put a health warning on ordinary milk, but that was rejected.
Dr Malcolm Riley, from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, says the Shanghai trial is credible, but shows only a small improvement in the participant's gut function when A2 milk was consumed.
"The randomised controlled trials are showing fairly small differences that one might say are not important enough to matter," he says. "Nevertheless, they do show a difference.
"We also know that A2 milk has physiological properties that are different to regular milk. For example, it doesn't form a curd so easily. So there is a difference between the two products and that's intriguing from a scientific point of view.
"What really needs to happen is for those claims to be investigated by independent researchers."
The firm hopes the study will boost its sales in China, where milk consumption has increased rapidly over the past two decades.
"In a market where dairy consumption is about 20% of typical European levels, we're aiming to grow very significantly," Mr Wotherspoon says.
Back on his dairy farm in Shropshire, Neale Sadler's cows queue up to be milked by his robotic milking machine. Every day he collects around 1,600 litres of milk from his 75 cows.
"The bonus we get paid for producing A2 milk is 2.5p per litre. At the moment that's not a vast amount but it's growing all the time and I can see A2 milk being very important in the future," he says.
Ayshah went to South Africa, home to the largest population of rhino in the world, but where these animals are being poached for their horns.
She met the people risking their lives to defend the species, as well as two rhino that are lucky to be alive.

It should be against the law to poach rhinos and should be banned.
Joseph, 13, Northamptonshire
I think it's good that we have zoos because it means we can protect rhinos.
Angel, 8, Salford
I think there should be a 24 hour watch to keep all animals safe from poachers.

The 29-year-old will need surgery after being injured in a collision with goalkeeper Artur Krysiak in the Boxing Day draw at Yeovil Town.
Holmes, who has scored five goals in 16 games this season, will have an operation on Tuesday.
"He will be a huge loss to the side and he is expected to be out for some time," Exeter boss Paul Tisdale said.
"We are harbouring hopes that he will be able to return to training and continue his rehab for him to be able to compete again this season."

Exeter have taken 17 points from the last 21 and are up into 11th place in League Two after Monday's 4-0 win over Leyton Orient - leading Tisdale to be nominated for the League Two Manager of the Month award.
It was their biggest victory margin since an identical result against Orient in the corresponding fixture in September 2015.
"I'm really happy and not surprised by the form we've got, but it's great to have that result," Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon
"The goals are a product of the performance and the positional play and robust nature with which we played.
"It's been the case over the last month. It's no surprise when you get your squad back together again. We've got one or two out but we've got a strong squad, the bench looked strong, the spine of the team was good."
The aerobatic team had been the star attraction at a Families Day held at RAF Valley.
The aircraft hit was the leader - Red One - but the pilot and an engineer believed to be aboard were unhurt.
Onlookers said the plane was leaving RAF Valley after the display to return to its base in Lincolnshire when the mishap happened.
An RAF spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a Hawk aircraft from the Red Arrows suffered an apparent bird strike in the vicinity of RAF Valley this afternoon.
"The aircraft recovered to Valley safely and will undergo checks from specialist engineers to ascertain if any remedial work is required."
The French-drafted document asking countries to "combat by all means this unprecedented threat" received universal approval on Friday night.
The PM said the vote "shows beyond doubt the breadth of international support" to "eradicate" IS.
IS has said it carried out the Paris attacks which left 130 people dead.
Mr Cameron is seeking to build cross-party support for UK air strikes against IS, also known as Isil, in Syria, though there is no timetable for a Parliamentary vote.
Meanwhile, Belgium has raised its terror alert in the Brussels region to the highest level, warning of a "very serious" and "imminent" threat. The Brussels metro network has been closed for the weekend.
The UK Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for Belgium, advising people to avoid busy places, including concerts, stations, airports, and shopping centres.
The UN resolution, co-sponsored by the UK, calls on nations to "redouble and co-ordinate their efforts to prevent and suppress terrorist attacks" using all necessary measures.
The document condemns a number of terror attacks, including the killings of 30 Britons in a Tunisian beach resort in June.
British ambassador to the UN Matthew Rycroft said it was a "clear, unambiguous message that there will be no respite from our collective efforts to stop, suppress and destroy Isil".
By Iain Watson, political correspondent, BBC News
The prime minister has always been clear that he believes extending air strikes from Iraq to Syria would be legal and wouldn't require UN approval.
But he has described the UN resolution as "an important moment". On one level, signalling the international community's resolve is certainly significant - but David Cameron clearly believes it has also made his own case for military action easier to argue.
He'll hope the resolution will give the green light to some sceptics on his own backbenches to vote for air strikes in due course, but more significantly it could provide cover for a significant number of Labour MPs to do the same.
However, the prime minister hasn't suggested that a parliamentary vote is imminent.
It's unlikely that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will regard last night's resolution as sufficient grounds for ending his opposition.
The text was backed by Russia, which has been dealing with the aftermath of a bomb which brought down a Metrojet Airbus 321 that crashed in the Sinai peninsula, on 31 October.
The IS-linked Sinai Peninsula group says it carried out that attack, which killed 224 people, most of whom were Russian tourists.
The UN resolution does not provide a legal basis for military action and does not invoke the chapter of the UN charter authorising the use of force.
But Mr Cameron - who insists the legal case for action is solid even without such approval - hopes it will help persuade Labour MPs to approve an escalation of the UK's military involvement.
MPs rejected air strikes against Syrian government forces in a 2013 vote.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is expected to use a speech on Saturday to underline his position of staunch opposition, and will state that being "at the centre of a succession of disastrous wars" has undermined British security.
Mr Cameron, who is due to set out his "comprehensive case" for strikes against IS in Syria, said after the UN vote that "the world has united" against the terror group.
He also said it demonstrated "the breadth of international support for doing more in Syria and for decisive action to eradicate" IS.
The UN Security Council had also reiterated its determination to secure a "political solution" to the conflict in Syria, he said.
"Britain will continue to support our allies who are fighting Isil in Syria," he said.
"I will continue to make the case for us to do more and to build support in Parliament for the action that I believe is necessary for Britain to take to protect our own security, as part of a determined international strategy.
"We cannot expect others to shoulder the burdens and the risks of protecting this country."
IS is a notoriously violent Islamist group which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq. It has declared its territory a caliphate - a state governed in accordance with Islamic law - under its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
IS demands allegiance from all Muslims, rejects national borders and seeks to expand its territory. It follows its own extreme version of Sunni Islam and regards non-believers as deserving of death.
IS projects a powerful image, partly through propaganda and sheer brutality, and is the world's richest insurgent group. It has about 30,000 fighters but is facing daily bombing by a US-led multi-national coalition, which has vowed to destroy it.

The 16-year-old was gang-raped and then thrown in a pit latrine breaking her back.
The three men accused of gang-raping her were ordered by police to cut grass as punishment.
The petition signed by 1.2 million people calls for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the alleged rapists.
The BBC's Anne Soy said about 300 people walked from Uhuru Park in the capital, Nairobi, to the police headquarters to hand over the petition, which was carried in cardboard boxes.
David Kimaiyo, the inspector general of police, was not present to receive it, but sent a representative on his behalf, she says.
The girl, referred to as Liz to protect her identity, was attacked and repeatedly raped after returning from a grandfather's funeral in a village in Busia in western Kenya.
Her unconscious body was thrown into a pit latrine and she is now in a wheelchair.
By Anne SoyBBC News, Nairobi
People beating drums, blowing whistles and waving undergarments walked through Nairobi's streets to the police inspector general's office to hand over a petition signed by more than a million people from across the world.
The document wants the police to arrest six suspects who allegedly raped the 16-year-old girl, known as Liz, and dumped her in a 22-ft (6.7m) deep pit latrine. She suffered fistula and a spinal injury from the attack. The chief of staff at the police headquarters received the petition and promised the protesters that the authorities would take action.
"I want the suspects to be arrested and justice to be done. Up to now no-one has been arrested. I hear some of them have gone into hiding," Liz's mother said when we visited her at a hospital in Eldoret town.
The director of public prosecution in Kenya, Keriako Tobiko, told the BBC that he is going through the investigation file he has received from the police and will open a case depending on the strength of the evidence.
Will her alleged rapists be charged?
When she was rescued she said she had been attacked by a gang of six men, but she could only identify three of them.
They were then detained by villagers and taken to the police, who chose not to officially prosecute them.
Instead they ordered them to cut grass around a police station in Busia, near Lake Victoria.
This spurred some journalists and activists to use social media to raise awareness of the case, using the hashtag #Justice4Liz.
An online petition was then set up by activist Nebila Abdulmelik on the Avaaz petition hosting website, which started to gain international attention.
"It's incredible that more one million people have backed the campaign calling for action on the rape of Liz," she said in statement released by Avaaz.
"Rather than deleting tweets, Inspector Kimaiyo has to take action in what has been a shameful response by Kenya's police.
"The men that raped Liz must be arrested and the police officers who let them walk free must be held to account - this case has to be the moment when the culture of violence and impunity ends."
Our reporter says the protesters carried placards - some reading "Justice for Liz" and "One in three of us will be violated in our lifetime" - which they left outside the police headquarters.
Net income for the period was 26bn roubles ($400.7m; £318m), which was much lower than expected.
UK oil giant BP owns 20% of Rosneft.
Earlier this week, the Russian government, which owns around three-quarters of Rosneft, said it would sell a 20% stake in the company as part of a money-raising privatisation programme.
The sale of the stake is expected to raise £9bn for the cash-strapped Russian government, whose income has suffered because of the fall in commodity prices.
Rosneft's chief executive, Igor Sechin, said the "environment on the commodity markets remained difficult" during the third quarter of the year.
Many of the world's largest oil companies have been reporting lower profits as the sector struggles with low crude prices.
BP recently reported a near-halving of its third-quarter profits, while US giant Exxon saw earnings dive by nearly 40%.
Oil prices peaked at about $115 a barrel in the summer of 2014, but then fell sharply due to a combination of increased supply and slowing demand.
In October, news that the Opec oil producers' cartel had agreed a limit on production sent the oil price to its highest in a year, with Brent crude rising above $53 a barrel.
However, doubts over whether Opec will be able to deliver production cuts have seen prices slip recently. On Friday, Brent crude was trading at $45.77 a barrel.
Marcus Copeland, 44, lied about the profits of his business and made inflated claims about his clients' wages in mortgage applications.
Copeland, from Denganwy, Conwy, has admitted fraud and deception charges.
A judge told him at Caernarfon Crown Court on Wednesday "imprisonment remains an option" before adjourning his case.
The defendant ran Copeland Mortgage Services in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, and was named Best Mortgage Broker in the Midlands and Wales, at the Pink Home Services Awards Night in 2007.
During the hearing he admitted a count of fraud by way of a false representation made to bank Abbey National in March 2007.
The court heard he had said the net profit of his business was higher than it was in reality.
Copeland, previously of St Asaph, Denbighshire has already pleaded guilty to another fraud charge and five deception offences.
The deception offences took place in 2006 and involved £686,000, the court heard.
Defence counsel, Jonathan Austin, said they involved applications for mortgages on behalf of clients he had advised as a broker.
Mr Austin said: "All these mortgages, I am instructed, proved to be affordable. The obligations were met."
Judge Gregory Bull QC bailed Copeland so that pre-sentence and medical reports could be prepared before he is brought back to court to be sentenced.
He warned him: "You are not to read anything into the likely sentence. Imprisonment remains an option."
The American argued with the pair at a news conference for Walsh's fight with IBF super-featherweight champion Gervonta Davis at London's Copper Box Arena on Saturday.
Ryan and Michael Walsh taunted Davis' promoter Mayweather for never fighting outside the US in his career.
The former five-weight world champion responded, leading to angry exchanges.
Mayweather questioned Walsh's promoter Frank Warren for signing the brothers to his stable of fighters, ordered them to leave the news conference and called them a string of derogatory names.
"You better get those two little leprechauns out of here before they get slapped," added 40-year-old Mayweather, who retired in 2015.
He then climbed on a platform to continue to shout at the pair as they left the room while the brothers shouted abuse back.
Liam Walsh appeared composed throughout the incident, despite Mayweather calling him "a super-cold bum".
Mayweather earned the nickname 'Money' in his career for generating - and flaunting - a fortune.
Davis, 22, has admitted pursuing a glamorous lifestyle in the past and Norfolk's Walsh, 31, said of his opponent: "We're complete polar opposites. Some people are that poor that all they have is money. I'm not that poor.
"My family, my happiness, my health is paramount in my life and that's all that matters to me."
But Mayweather teased Walsh: "One thing I learned, when it's time to cut the lights off when the bills are due, you can't go tell the bill man 'I love you' and they'll keep the lights on, so remember that."
However, the deal does not include any of Pebble's products, and work on several crowdfunded devices that have yet to be made has been cancelled.
Pebble said it would try and refund backers of the Time 2, Core and Time Round gadgets by March 2017.
It also warned those who already owned its gear to expect less support.
"We don't expect to release regular software updates or new Pebble features," the firm said in a statement on its most recent Kickstarter campaign page.
"Our new mission will focus on bringing Pebble's unique wearables expertise to future Fitbit products.
"We're also working to reduce Pebble's reliance on cloud services, letting all Pebble models stay active long into the future."
The announcement comes just over eight months after Pebble cut 40 jobs - amounting to 25% of its workforce.
"Money is pretty tight these days," the start-up's chief executive Eric Migicovsky said at the time.
The deal offers Fitbit a way to invigorate its own line-up after its Blaze smartwatch had a troubled launch.
"Pebble's key asset was its software," commented Paul Lamkin, editor of the Wareable news site.
"A lot of people think its quite a lot better than anything Apple and Google have managed to do, and it offers Fitbit a huge developer community, which it wouldn't have otherwise had."
Fitbit suggested that the deal would help it target a wider range of customers.
"With this acquisition, we're well positioned to accelerate the expansion of our platform... as well as build the tools healthcare providers, insurers and employers need to more meaningfully integrate wearable technology into preventative and chronic care," said Fitbit's chief executive James Park.
Fitbit added that "key personnel" from Pebble would join its company.
But the Bloomberg news agency reports that Mr Migicovsky will not be part of them and will instead rejoin the San Francisco-based start-up incubator Y Combinator.
Other smartwatch makers have also found the market to be tougher than expected.
Lenovo recently said it would not launch a new generation of its Moto watch to coincide with the launch of Android Wear 2.0 because it did not see "enough pull in the market".
Intel was recently forced to recall its Basis Peak smartwatches because of overheating problems, following which there have been reports that it is cutting jobs within the team responsible.
A fresh report from the market research firm IDC also indicated that Apple Watch sales had slumped.
But the firm's chief executive Tim Cook responded saying the product's sales growth was "off the charts".
Pebble was a pioneer of two significant tech trends of recent years - crowdfunding and smart watches. Now its demise - because that is effectively what the sale to Fitbit means - is a measure of how the climate around both those ideas has darkened.
The first Pebble watch was the standout Kickstarter success that seemed to validate the idea of using crowdfunding rather than venture capital to get a tech hardware idea off the ground.
That offered a different, more intimate relationship with a product's buyers - but as others have found out, when things go wrong the anger of this new type of consumer/fan is all the greater.
Even though backers who won't now receive discontinued Pebble products will get refunded, many are very unhappy.
One, Matt Penton, told me "this is a terrible way to treat the community of backers" and said it was a betrayal that Pebble had not turned to that community for help before selling out to Fitbit.
But this is also a sign that the market for smart watches may be smaller than seemed likely when Pebble was followed by the likes of Samsung and Apple in giving consumers a new form of wearable connectivity.
We must assume that the "various factors" cited in Pebble's explanation of the rush to sell up include disappointing sales in the crucial holiday season.
The big players in wearables now seem to be focusing on fitness fanatics rather than fashionistas - so Fitbit may also have its work cut out if it is to continue to grow.
Lul Mohamed Kheire and 10 friends spent a week walking between Baidoa, in the east, and the capital Mogadishu in August.
The route brought them into areas where Islamist militants al-Shabab are known to live.
Despite the dangers, their belief in peace inspired others to join them.
"All the people think Somalia is not safe, there's no security - we wanted to show all the world there is peace in Somalia," Lul told the BBC's Newsday programme.
Lul and her 10 friends set out from Baidoa in August, walking for four to five hours each day under the blazing sun, planting trees where they stopped and relying on the kindness of villagers to give them a bed for the night.
The walk was even harder for Lul - she carried her youngest child for most of the journey, while keeping an eye on her older two. But, she said, the difficulty was worth it.
"It's heavy work but we want to show all the world there is peace - and if you want to show the world something, you have to do hard work," Lul said.
Somalia has been in an almost constant state of violent turmoil since 1991, dividing the country.
So the fact that members of the group, who ranged in age between about 23 and 35, each came from a different region was important for the activists.
"We were united," said Lul. "We wanted to do this walk to help unite the youth of Somalia in the same way."
More recently, the danger has come from Islamist militants al-Shabab, who have waged war against Somalia's government.
Huge swathes of land are considered no-go areas - including those surrounding both Baidoa and Mogadishu.
As a result, the residents of those cities are particularly vulnerable to deadly attacks.
Thirty people were killed in one day last February in two separate al-Shabab attacks on Baidoa. Among the dead were football fans, who had been watching a match between Arsenal and Manchester United when the a car bomb exploded.
In August, militants targeted a Mogadishu hotel, while a general and six of his bodyguards were killed in September near the defence ministry headquarters.
Yet the marchers, who started planning the trip at the start of August, were not scared.
"When we were doing this walk, we did not see any al-Shabab," Lul said. "Everyone was happy - we did not feel any fear."
She added: "We were not scared any more, because we have peace."
Their confidence was infectious - the first day, a few hundred people started to walk alongside the group.
By the time they reached Mogadishu a week later, there were thousands marching behind them.
"They ask us what we are doing, when we tell them it is a peace walk they like it and everyone join us," Lul explained.
"All of the people join us - men, women, children, all levels of society.
"It was like 2,500 people.
"When you are walking and having a lot of people around you, I don't know how to describe it, it is a great thing."
However, the group is not done yet - early next month, they will set off once more, this time to the Hiran area, hoping to inspire yet more people.
David Hughes, who was caught in the crush, said a fellow Liverpool fan had been "asking for air" as she could not breathe but then "went quiet".
He said he "pleaded for help" from the officer on the other side of a fence.
It is believed the spectator was Paula Smith, 26, one of 96 fans fatally injured in the 1989 disaster.
The jury also heard about the final movements of Graham Wright, a 17-year-old insurance clerk.
Mr Hughes, who has since died, said in a statement that there was a "big surge from behind" him in pen three at the Leppings Lane end of the Sheffield stadium on 15 April 1989.
"All [I] could hear was the two girls behind me screaming and the sound of wind being knocked out of people behind me.
"I was then aware that there was a girl directly in front of me. She was crushed up against my stomach, all I could see of her was her head."
He said she was talking to him, "asking for air, she couldn't breathe. She only spoke briefly then she went quiet".
Mr Hughes said the girl eventually went "limp" and was "slowly slipping down to the floor".
"I began shouting to a policewoman with a ponytail stood on the other side of the fence that this girl had collapsed. She only replied that she couldn't do anything.
"I was pleading to the policewoman to help."
Later in the statement, he said had seen "pictures in the papers of girls who were killed" at Hillsborough.
"One of these was a girl named Paula from Liverpool. I am sure that this is the girl who died crushed up against my stomach," he said.
The jury also heard from Paul Wadsworth, who was a police constable on duty of the day of the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
He had spoken to Ms Smith outside the Leppings Lane end between 13:05 and 13:15, when she asked him if she was heading into the correct part of the ground.
Mr Wadsworth later went into pen three after seeing other officers running into the ground.
He saw Ms Smith lying on the terraces, her "face and hands were purple" and she was "totally lifeless", the jury heard.
He looked inside her mouth to check for signs of breathing.
Mr Wadsworth said he and another officer carried Ms Smith out of the pen and on to the pitch.
She was later carried on an advertising hoarding to the stadium's gym, where a doctor confirmed she had died.
Graham Wright had been at the match with his friend James Aspinall, who also died.
Matthew Hill, representing the coroner, said Graham had been given a ticket to the match by his brother, David.
Mr Hill said another of his brothers, Stephen, "says that he advised Graham to go to the side of the Leppings Lane terraces".
Graham was seen in footage timed from 14:23 standing in the crowd in pen three, one of the central enclosures.
A police officer who helped carry the teenager to the gym said he did not perform any checks for a pulse or breathing because when he first saw Graham he was covered.
Stephen Wright had been sitting in a seat in the North Stand and looked for his brother after police stopped the match.
He could not find him and went home to Liverpool, but returned to Sheffield later that evening.
At 04:00 BST on 16 April, Stephen identified his brother's body in the gym.
The inquests, in Warrington, Cheshire, are due to resume on Thursday.
BBC News: Profiles of all those who died
Pope Tawadros II was confirmed as the new leader of Egypt's Christian minority at a ceremony at St Mark's cathedral in the Egyptian capital.
The 60-year-old succeeds Pope Shenouda III, who died in March after four decades on the patriarchal throne.
The enthronement comes at an uncertain time for Egypt's Christians, following the fall of Hosni Mubarak last year.
Sectarian attacks against Coptic Christians and churches in Egypt have increased since his fall, and many Christians are concerned about the rise of Islamist political forces.
Christians make up 5-10% of Egypt's majority Sunni Muslim population and form the largest Christian minority in the Middle East.
Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Mursi did not attend Sunday's enthronement, though Prime Minister Hisham Qandil was there.
David Miranda was carrying material from whistleblower Edward Snowden about security services' surveillance.
He argued the stop had been a disproportionate use of anti-terrorism powers and breached human rights law.
Judges did not agree with his claim, but did say existing laws did not offer enough safeguards for reporters.
They said the use of legislation under the Terrorism Act 2000 at ports and airports, "in respect of journalistic information or material", is incompatible with Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights - freedom of expression - and should be examined by Parliament.
Brazilian Mr Miranda is the partner of Glenn Greenwald, who had written a series of stories about spying by the US and UK.
He said he had been "acting in support of Mr Greenwald's activities as a journalist" when stopped while in transit from Germany to Brazil on 18 August 2013.
Mr Miranda was held by Metropolitan Police officers at Heathrow for nine hours.
He was carrying encrypted material "derived from the data obtained by Mr Snowden", a former US National Security Agency contractor who has been granted temporary asylum in Russia.
It included 58,000 highly-classified documents from the UK's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).
Mr Miranda brought a judicial review against the home secretary and the Metropolitan Police, and, in February 2014, the High Court said while the action amounted to "indirect interference" with press freedom, it had to be balanced against national security considerations.
The Court of Appeal said the authorities had been justified in detaining Mr Miranda under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 .
"The police exercised the power for a permitted purpose. They were entitled to consider that material in his possession might be released in circumstances falling within the definition of terrorism," it said.
The Home Office maintains rules now in place give adequate protection to journalists, but lawyers for Mr Miranda say they do not go far enough and legislation is required.
A Home Office spokesman said: "We have always been clear that David Miranda's examination by police under Schedule 7 was lawful and proportionate. The Court of Appeal's judgment in this case supports the action taken by police to protect national security.
"In 2015 we changed the code of practice for examining officers to instruct them not to examine journalistic material at all. This goes above and beyond the court's recommendations in this case."
Rosie Brighouse, from human rights group Liberty, said the judgement relating to police stops involving journalist material was a "major victory for the free press".
John Halford, from Bindmans, the law firm which represented Mr Miranda, said the court "decided that taking effective action against terrorism involves using instruments that are fit for purpose, rather than those that are so blunt that they inevitably damage the interests of democratic societies".
The blaze started two days ago when one of four big fuel tanks exploded at the Puma Energy facility in the Pacific port of Puerto Sandino.
A second tank caught fire on Thursday.
No casualties have been reported but the authorities have warned residents to avoid the clouds of smoke full of noxious gases which have been billowing thousands of metres into the air.
Shelters have been prepared in case the wind changes direction away from the ocean and towards the land.
Experts from the US and Canada are in the country to advise officials on how to bring the fire under control.
Puma Energy said it was working to contain the situation and emphasised that safety for local residents was a priority.
Smoke from the fire at Ynyshir stretches over 10 miles and can be seen from as far away as Cardiff Bay.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service were called out at 13:31 BST. The blaze spread to the tyres at about 1720 BST.
Eighteen fire engines have been fighting deliberate grass fires across the region on Wednesday evening.
Arsonists have been accused of starting more than 350 grass fires in south Wales between 1-13 April, compared with about 250 in the same period last year.
They have cost South Wales Fire and Rescue Service about £795,000 and have left crews "stretched", say bosses.
The worst affected areas are Rhondda Cynon Taff with 123 fires and Caerphilly with 54.
In north Wales, there was a spate of deliberate fires near Blaenau Ffestiniog over two nights last week.
"The crews are pushed to breaking point," said Richard Hassett, fire station commander for Treorchy and Tonypandy in Rhondda Cynon Taff.
"This obviously impacts then on us responding to more serious fires. But, as a service, we manage," he said.
It meant doctors could pick the correct tools needed to wash her lungs.
And as a result, Katie Parke, from Northern Ireland, needed to spend less time under anaesthetic and being ventilated.
Doctors at the hospital say the technology could also be used to train other doctors.
Katie has pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, which means grainy deposits build up in the microscopic air sacs in her lungs making it hard to breathe.
Regularly washing the lungs with saltwater is the only way to remove the deposits.
During Katie's operation one of her lungs needed to be ventilated while the other was cleaned.
Normally, surgeons waste time on the operating table trying multiple combinations of different-sized tubes in order to perform the delicate surgery.
The team at Great Ormond Street Hospital used a CT scan of Katie to print out a 3D rubber model of Katie's trachea. They could then select the tools they needed ahead of the operation.
Katie's mum, Sharon Parke, said: "It's amazing to see what a tiny bit of kit can do. Katie's had brilliant treatment at Great Ormond Street and now she can even go horseriding, which was unthinkable before."
Owen Arthurs, a consultant radiologist who organised the study, told the BBC News website: "We can look at a 3D reconstruction on a computer, but this takes it into a whole new dimension.
"Being able to hold it in your hand makes the procedure much easier and safer."
Doctors at Boston Children's Hospital, in the US, have also tried printing models of part of the brain ahead of surgery.
Dr Arthurs added: "It could also be used to make training better, being able to print a part of the anatomy is quite powerful. It's really important to train the next generation of doctors and make them better."
The inquiry aims to investigate claims against local authorities, religious organisations, the armed forces and public and private institutions - as well as people in the public eye. But it has been dogged with controversy since being announced in July 2014, be it chairwomen coming and going, lawyers quitting their posts or victims' groups losing faith in the process.
Following the death of BBC DJ Jimmy Savile in 2011, hundreds of people came forward to say he had abused them as children. The spotlight has also fallen on sexual assaults carried out in schools, children's homes and at NHS sites.
At the same time, there have been claims of past failures by police and prosecutors to properly investigate allegations.
The inquiry was announced by the then Home Secretary Theresa May to "expose those failures and learn the lessons" from the past.
The inquiry is expected to take about five years to complete, with a report containing recommendations being published at the end.
It will be divided into public hearings into specific areas of concern, with witnesses giving evidence under oath; research into institutional failures in child protection, and the so-called Truth Project in which victims will share their experiences with the inquiry either in private interviews or written form.
The inquiry will not seek to determine civil or criminal liability of individuals or organisations but may reach "findings of fact" in relation to this.
Allegations of child abuse received by the inquiry will be referred to police and material related to Scotland, Northern Ireland or British Overseas Territories will be passed on to the authorities there.
A separate inquiry looking at the abuse of children in care in Scotland has been set up by the Scottish Government.
The inquiry is being led by Prof Alexis Jay, a former director of social services who headed the inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham.
She is being assisted by a panel of advisers: law professor and human rights expert Malcolm Evans; child protection barrister Ivor Frank; and lawyer Drusilla Sharpling, a former Chief Crown Prosecutor for London, who has worked as an inspector of constabulary since 2009.
A separate panel will represent victims and survivors.
Brian Altman QC is lead counsel to the inquiry.
The inquiry is opening with hearings over two weeks looking at the cases of British children in care who were sent to to parts of the British Empire including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and what was Southern Rhodesia between 1920 and the 1970s. The UK government issued an apology in 2010 for its role in the child migration programmes.
The hearings will take evidence from former child migrants and form part of a wider investigation into the way organisations have protected children outside the UK.
The hearings are being held at the International Dispute Resolution Centre in Fleet Street, central London.
Preliminary hearings in the inquiry began in March at the nearby Royal Courts of Justice.
The first phase of the inquiry consists of 13 separate investigations over a period of about 18 months.
It will also consider:
The evidence given at the public hearings is expected to cover a number of other cases that have attracted headlines in recent years, including late MP Cyril Smith and claims of sexual abuse at care homes in north Wales.
The main bone of contention has been the turbulent history over the past two years surrounding who is in charge.
The first chairwoman of the inquiry appointed in July 2014 was Baroness Butler-Sloss. However, she resigned just one week later after concerns arose around her links to the establishment - namely her late brother, Sir Michael Havers, who was attorney general in the 1980s.
In September 2014, Lord Mayor of London Fiona Woolf was named the new head, but after disclosing she had been to five dinners with the late Lord Brittan - one of the people facing accusations at the time, which have since been dropped - she quit by the end of October.
In February 2015, Justice Lowell Goddard, a serving judge of the High Court of New Zealand, took over the reins and was in charge as inquiry began hearing directly from victims and survivors. But by August 2016, she had resigned her post as well due to "compounding difficulties" and her family life.
A number of lawyers have also resigned or been removed from the process.
In November 2016, he largest of the victims's groups involved in the inquiry, the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association, pulled out and said it had lost confidence in the inquiry's leadership.
And public hearings into allegations of abuse relating to Lord Janner that were due to start in March have been delayed because of an "overlap" with a criminal investigation. His family are still calling for the strand of the inquiry to be dropped.
The IICSA has a budget of £17.9m in its first year, funded by the Home Office, with staff accounting for 41%.
Prof Jay is to be paid £185,000 - almost half her predecessor's salary - while panel members will each receive £565 a day.
Danny Alexander said boosting borrowing to fund higher spending would set Scotland on a different path from the rest of the UK.
The Treasury chief secretary expressed his concerns to Alex Salmond in a letter.
The first minister said initial borrowing would boost the economy.
He added that this would allow for a sustainable cut in the deficit.
He also said an independent Scotland would start out being more prosperous per head than the UK, France or Japan.
Following a "Yes" vote in September's referendum, the Scottish government plans to increase public spending by 3% in each of the first three years after independence to drive economic growth. This contrasts with the 1% planned by the UK chancellor.
According to Finance Secretary John Swinney, this extra spending would be funded by borrowing.
But in his letter to Mr Salmond, Mr Alexander said this amounted to an admission that a currency union would not be created since the economic policies of the two states would "diverge".
Speaking in an interview with the BBC, Mr Alexander called on the Scottish government to be "transparent and open" about alternative currency plans.
He said: "John Swinney's plans for massive extra borrowing basically show that the Scottish government is now assuming that there won't be a currency union.
"One of the biggest reasons why I think a currency union wouldn't work, and have said no to it, is because inevitably policies would diverge between Scotland and the rest of the UK under independence."
He added: "The Scottish government, as we already know, would start off with a larger deficit than the rest of the UK, would face higher borrowing costs because of the setting up of a new country and the extra risks that involves.
"By adding yet more borrowing to that position you create a pretty precarious position, financially, for an independent Scotland.
"You can't have massive extra borrowing and claim that a currency union is going to take place."
However a spokeswoman for Mr Swinney described Mr Alexander's comments as "more misbriefing".
She said: "Scotland will continue to use the pound, just as we do today because, in the words of Alistair Darling, that is the 'logical' and 'desirable' arrangement for an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK.
"We have made clear that we oppose Westminster's austerity measures and believe the best way to reduce the deficit in the long term is to invest in public spending, to grow the economy and reduce the deficit in a sustainable way, ensuring there is less need to borrow in the future by boosting revenues in the long term."
She added: "Even with a 3% increase in spending growth, Scotland's deficit is forecast to fall to 2.2% of GDP in 2018-19, significantly below the current level of 8.3% and would ensure that the country's debt was falling as a share of GDP.
"Indeed, the Scotland Institute report, referred to by Mr Alexander, underlines Scotland's economic strength by highlighting that an independent Scotland stands to have 'a smaller debt to gross national product ratio than the remaining UK'."
The challenge was brought by activists, who are opposed to President Robert Mugabe and his government.
They described the court's ruling as "a brave judgement", coming days after President Mugabe, 92, condemned a previous court ruling allowing a demonstration that turned violent.
Zimbabwe has seen a wave of protests recently over the declining economy.
On Wednesday, Zimbabwean High Court judge Priscilla Chigumba ruled that the ban on protests was illegal.
She said that the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law was important to democracy,
Stan Zvorwadza, one of the activists who challenged the ban, told the BBC he welcomed the verdict, adding that he and demonstrators wanted to protest peacefully about the mismanagement of the country.
He was represented in court by Tendai Biti, a lawyer and former finance minister, who told the BBC it proved Zimbabwe's courts were independent.
"My clients can now demonstrate today or tomorrow. This is a brave judgement," Mr Biti said.
President Mugabe at the weekend criticised a court which had given permission for an anti-government protest at the end of August.
It turned violent when police ignored the court order and tear gassed demonstrators.
Mr Mugabe said the judges had showed a reckless disregard for peace, and warned that they should not dare to be negligent when making future decisions.
The president has recently warned protesters there would be no Zimbabwean uprising similar to the "Arab Spring".
He has routinely blamed the country's economic problems on sabotage by Western critics of his policies - which include the seizure of white-owned commercial farms to be given to black people.

Sarah Fox's son Aaron, died aged 16.
Ms Fox said it was "horrendous" watching her son "self destruct" and said she believes a secure unit could have saved his life.
It is claimed Farhan Mirza, 38, filmed women exposing their bodies without their knowledge before demanding money.
The college worker from Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent, has pleaded not guilty to two additional indecent assault charges, after a complainant said she had been touched without consent.
He has also denied all other charges against him, including theft and fraud.
The new claims against the defendant came during prosecution evidence to the jury.
An alleged victim told the court that she was touched on the "upper-inner thigh" while they were sitting on a bench.
It is also alleged the defendant took hold of her hand and placed it on his trousers without her consent while they were sitting in a car.
The judge allowed the new charges to be added to the indictment after an application from the prosecution.
During the week-long trial, Mr Mirza has been described as a "sexual and financial predator".
Jurors were told his alleged victims, who are all Muslim women, were targeted because of the "terror and embarrassment" they would have felt.
A complainant said she feared reprisals from ultra-religious groups like the Taliban if a video of her was sent to her Pakistani family.
Mr Mirza met some of his alleged victims on the website Shaadi.com, which describes itself as the world's biggest match-making website.
Giving evidence on Monday, another of his alleged victims told the court that he had claimed he was a surgeon, and had "two sides to his personality".
She said the defendant was "very manipulative" but could also be "polite and angelic".
Asked why she did not question him further about being a surgeon, she said: "If he's telling me something and it is on his profile, why would I test that."
The trial is continuing.
The former state-owned phone giant has dropped PwC and will replace them with rival accounting firm KPMG.
In January, BT admitted its Italian business had overstated profits, leading to a share price slump.
KPMG was called on at the time to investigate what it described as "inappropriate behaviour" by managers.
Now the firm will be able to get to grips with the accounts more fully once the 2017-18 results are audited by PwC for the final time.
BT said it wanted to "ensure a smooth and effective migration" and will want to put a line in the sand under a difficult year.
The scandal at BT Italia emerged after a whistleblower informed executives in 2016 of the problems.
An subsequent investigation by KPMG found "improper accounting practices and a complex set of improper sales, purchase, factoring and leasing transactions", which meant profits in the Italian business had been overstated for a number of years.
Last month, BT revealed that, as a result of the scandal, chief executive Gavin Patterson's pay would be cut from £5.28m to £1.34m.
Around 4,000 staff were also axed, although some of these cuts were announced before the scale of the scandal was known.
Shares slumped, wiping £8bn off BT's value and remain at four-year lows.
New stock market rules have been introduced in an attempt to encourage companies to change their auditors more regularly.
Businesses in the FTSE 350 must now put their auditing contract out to tender every 10 years, although they only need to change them every 20 years.
PwC was criticised for missing an accounting scandal at Tesco in 2014 - where it had been auditor for more than 30 years. It was later replaced by Deloitte.
Craig Hall is alleged to have failed to properly install a boiler at Robin and Marion Cunningham's house in Callander, Perthshire, in August 2013.
Prosecutors allege Mr Hall, 34, failed to ensure that a gas pipe was properly supported when he fitted the boiler.
He denies the charge and will stand trial on 2 August.
The alleged incident took place eight months before the explosion.
Mr and Mrs Cunningham were both trapped and had to be freed by fire-fighters.
Nine nearby houses were evacuated and Stirling Council set up a rest centre in Callander as emergency services moved in to make the area safe.
Mr Hall, of Tullibody, Clackmannanshire, denies causing the blast by carrying out the installation of the boiler dangerously and otherwise than in accordance with appropriate standards, contrary to the Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations 1988.
He also denies an alternative charge, under the Health and Safety at Work Act, of failing to take reasonable care for Mr and Mrs Cunningham's safety as a result of his "acts or omissions".
Norway's public broadcaster said the prize, awarded in Oslo, is likely to go to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
Pakistani schoolgirl campaigner Malala Yousafzai and Congolese doctor Denis Mukwege are also tipped as favourites.
Predictions of the winners have often been wrong in the past.
This year's record list of 259 nominees remains a secret.
Chelsea Manning (formerly Bradley Manning), the US soldier convicted of giving classified documents to WikiLeaks has also been listed as a potential winner.
Others include Maggie Gobran, an Egyptian computer scientist who abandoned her academic career to become a Coptic Christian nun and founded the charity Stephen's Children, and Russian former mathematics professor Svetlana Gannushinka who set up the rights group Civil Assistance.
The winner of the most coveted of the Nobel honours - which comprises of a gold medal and 8m Swedish kronor ($1.25m; £780,000) - will be revealed in Oslo at 11:00 local time (09:00 GMT).
An hour before the announcement, Norway's NRK broadcaster reported that the award was likely to go to the OPCW.
The Hague-based OPCW is a small organisation which was established to enforce the 1997 Chemical Weapons convention.
It has been in the headlines recently having sent inspectors to oversee the dismantling of Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons in the middle of a vicious conflict.
Bookmakers and pundits have also tipped Malala Yousafzai and gynaecologist Denis Mukwege of the Democratic Republic of Congo as favourites to take the award.
If 16-year-old Malala Yousafzai wins, she will be the youngest-ever Nobel laureate.
The young activist emerged as a contender after continuing her work to promote better rights for girls despite being shot in the head by the Taliban in Pakistan.
Malala rose to prominence in 2009 after writing a blog anonymously for the BBC Urdu service about her life under Taliban rule in Pakistan's Swat Valley.
On Thursday she was named as the winner of the EU's Sakharov prize, a 50,000-euro ($65,000) award considered Europe's top human rights accolade.
Denis Mukwege, who has been listed as a possible Nobel laureate in the past, set up a hospital and foundation to help tens of thousands of women raped by militants and soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Like Malala, Mr Mukwege was also targeted by assassins a year ago. He escaped injury but temporarily sought exile in Europe.
Previous Nobel peace prize laureates include anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela, US President Barack Obama, the Dalai Lama and Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
In 2012 the prize was awarded to the European Union in recognition of its contribution to peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe.
Police Scotland said Operation Maple had also led to more than 700 arrests.
Operation Maple first began in 2010.
Ch Supt Adrian Watson, divisional commander for Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, said the operation would continue.
Bode Prasad spent 100,000 rupees (£1,200; $1,546) to relocate the peepal trees which were due to be cut down to make way for a section of the Vijaywada-Machilipatnam highway.
Mr Prasad said he had seen these trees since his childhood and did not want them to be destroyed.
The trees have been relocated to another spot in the area.
The lawmaker said the local village council fully supported him in this initiative.
"The local panchayat (village council) did not have adequate funds to spend on relocating the trees. So I spent my own money," he told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.
Mr Prasad says he was not against development projects. "But we should not cut trees when roads are expanded and highways are created," he added.
His effort has been praised on social media, with many saying that he had set an example for others to follow.
Child, who wrote the Charlie and Lola and Clarice Bean series, was speaking after her appointment was announced in Hull.
She is the 10th person to be the official champion of children's books.
Child will hold the title for two years and takes over from Chris Riddell.
While girls are happier to read about boys, she is worried about why most boys are more reluctant to read books or watch films about girls.
"I don't know if it's just in our culture, or whether it's a boy thing, that they find it very hard to pick up a book or go to a film if a girl is the central character," she told BBC News.
"I don't know where that comes from but it worries me because it makes it harder for girls to be equal."
Sales figures back up the notion that books with girls as main characters are less popular than those about boys, she said.
Child has just published the last Ruby Redfort book. Ruby began as a character in her Clarice Bean series, but Child decided to give the fictional spy her own spin-offs after getting "a lot of letters from girls - and some from boys".
She said: "You could quite easily change Ruby's name to a boy's name and just changing a few details in the book and it would work just the same.
"But still parents will come up to me and say, 'Do you write books for boys as well?' This is a book for boys. We do still have those problems. It does concern me."
The Children's Laureate role is intended to "promote and encourage children's interest in books, reading and writing".
But what have others actually done with the position?

Another problem is the fact there are so few Asian and black children on the covers of picture books and on screen, she said.
"They're not present enough. And if they don't feel they're represented in a book, or a film, or a TV programme, then how can they feel an equal part of society?
"That really is important. I see it more and more because I have a daughter adopted from Mongolia and we're watching all kinds of programmes and the characters are mainly white Caucasian.
"It's that look - it's very often long blonde hair, blue eyes. She's not seeing herself. And very often, if you do see a child, it's about an issue. It's not about just being a child."
Child was appointed Waterstones Children's Laureate at a ceremony in Hull, which is UK City of Culture 2017.
The Laureate is chosen by a panel of judges from the book world, who also consider names put forward by children who can vote online.
The author said she wanted to use the position to "shine a light on children's books and illustration", which she said is always seen as "a poor relation" to adult literature.
She also voiced concerns about library closures.
Child said: "There are many children who don't have access to books and they don't have access to books in their schools because a lot of schools don't have libraries.
"If we value literacy as much as we say we do and as much as we should, then children need that opportunity. So I worry about the haves and have-nots and giving children the opportunity to try things out."

The 36-year-old is competing with Mark Cavendish in the madison at the Six Day London event, which finishes on Sunday.
Wiggins, Britain's most decorated Olympian, will retire after next month's Six Day track event in Ghent.
He had three therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) granted for the anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone.
The UCI, cycling's world governing body, cleared him to use the banned substance to treat allergies and respiratory issues.
There is no suggestion any rules were broken, but some have questioned whether Wiggins and Team Sky acted correctly.
Wiggins took the drug during his time at Team Sky, shortly before the Tour de France in 2011 and 2012 - which he won, becoming the first Briton to do so - and the 2013 Giro d'Italia.
His TUEs were approved by British authorities and the UCI. Both Wiggins and Team Sky have denied wrongdoing.
Team Sky, British Cycling and Wiggins are also co-operating with a UK Anti-Doping probe into a package that was delivered to the team during the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine, which Wiggins won.
Richard Conway, BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent
"Good to get back on a bike" is how Sir Bradley Wiggins put it when introduced by one of the Six Day Cycling hosts to a cheering crowd tonight.
With continuing questions over his use of TUEs and scrutiny over a mystery package delivered to Team Sky following a race in 2011, he opted not to speak with the media and remained out of sight in the warm-up area.
His partner for this event, Mark Cavendish, did talk. However, he wasn't keen to discuss Wiggins, answering in curt sentences even when asked simple questions about taking to the track with the five-time Olympic champion.
This is a sport under pressure. And tonight the tension showed.
The children, in their mid teens and from St Albans, Hertfordshire, got lost around Llyn y Fan Fach, near Abercraf.
Andrew Evans of Western Beacons Mountain Rescue Team said a rescue helicopter located the missing groups and every child has either made their way off the mountain or are on their way down.
They have been taken to hospital for a precautionary check-up.
The alarm was raised at about 13:00 BST after the groups got lost in clouds while doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award.
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesman said: "We are pleased to confirm that following the search and rescue operation on the Brecon Beacons this afternoon, all 26 members of the party involved have been accounted for."
The Welsh Ambulance Service said: "26 patients were taken to Ystradgynlais Community Hospital for a precautionary check-up. None of their injuries are believed to be serious."
Mark Moran from Central Beacons Mountain Rescue said his team had been in intermittent phone contact with the four groups before the first group was found.
Twelve rescuers from Western Beacons, Central Beacons and Brecon mountain rescue teams were involved in the search.
Mr Evans added: "This kind of thing does happen from time to time with groups doing their group Duke of Edinburgh."
Heather Davidson, 54, of Thirsk in North Yorkshire, admitted the murder of her 81-year-old friend David Paterson.
She had phoned a cancer charity shortly before using a pillow to kill Mr Paterson in his room at the privately-run Sowerby House care home in Thirsk.
Davidson, who has a previous conviction for attempting to smother a neighbour's dog, was told she would serve a minimum of nine years.
She had claimed the murder on 11 February was a "mercy killing", however, sentencing her at Teesside Crown Court, Judge Simon Bourne-Arton said she had denied Mr Paterson a "private ending".
"You were only saving him a few hours of suffering," the judge said.
"In so doing, you deprived him of what he wanted most, a natural death."
The court was told Davidson had met Mr Paterson through a group for people with mental health issues. She attended the group where Mr Paterson was a volunteer.
They also attended church together and she visited him frequently after he moved into the care home.
The court heard two phone calls had been made by Davidson to the cancer charity Macmillan before Mr Paterson's death.
During the first she complained about his treatment.
In the final call, made from Mr Paterson's room on the day she killed him, she told the operator her friend was unable to eat or drink.
Davidson told the charity: "It might be better if I could put a pillow over his head. Would I be a murderer if I did that?"
The charity's operator told her she would and after a conversation with a supervisor the police were alerted.
The call could not be traced before Davidson smothered her victim about two and a half hours later.
Prosecuting, Jonathan Sharp said Mr Paterson had a firm religious belief and strongly objected to euthanasia.
"He had said it will be God's decision, and only God's, when it was his time to meet his maker."
In a statement, Mr Davidson's family described him as a devout Christian and said they were shocked someone he considered a friend would have acted in this way.
"She should have known he would have wanted it to be God's will when he died and allowed him to do so in privacy and with dignity," the statement said.
David Aubrey QC, mitigating, said Davidson was genuinely remorseful about her actions.
"She regrets bitterly and is ashamed for what she has put this man through," he said.
Gill Pasola, head of school at Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School in Dover, asked parents to improve their behaviour at the gates in a newsletter.
She said the issue had been raised by the schools council which is made up of elected representatives from each year.
The adults were told to smoke well away from the school and mind their language in the vicinity.
On BBC South East Today's Facebook page, Chantelle Amini wrote: "Good! All schools should implement this! Nothing worse than having to walk through a cloud of smoke with your child!"
Mari Ellen Edwards said: "Good on the children for telling on the parents!"
Gary Gardiner posted: "Sounds like they need to go back to school!!"
Chris McGovern, a former head teacher and chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said: "Normally we have bad news stories about schools going into special measures, but here we have a good news story about pupils putting some of their own parents into special measures."
He said the primary pupils had been rated outstanding by Ofsted for their behaviour.
"They actually in this particular case are going to teach their parents a little bit about how to behave, I suspect," he added.
He said their parents should be proud of them.
Waiting outside the school gates this afternoon, it was clear not all parents had got the message - or if they had they weren't choosing to do as they're told.
Children finishing school for the day explained their decision and said smoking could kill children and cause asthma - while swearing set a bad example to youngsters.
The head teacher declined to comment.
In the school's last Ofsted report, inspectors said the pupils concentrated well, tried their hardest to do their best, listened carefully, showed confidence and were polite and courteous towards one another and to adults and visitors.
"They greet everyone with bright smiles and hold open doors. Consequently, the atmosphere in the school is happy and harmonious," inspectors wrote.
The German bank has been fined $2.1bn by US regulators, and £227m by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority.
The fine relates to manipulation of the Libor and Euribor inter-bank rates.
It is a record penalty for such misconduct because Deutsche tried to mislead regulators and could have hampered investigators. The bank said it "deeply regrets" the matter.
Deutsche said in a statement that it had "disciplined or dismissed individuals" involved and tightened governance controls. However, US regulators have demanded the dismissal of a further seven senior individuals still employed.
Georgina Philippou, the FCA's acting director of enforcement and market oversight, said in a statement: "This case stands out for the seriousness and duration of the breaches by Deutsche Bank - something reflected in the size of today's fine.
"One division at Deutsche Bank had a culture of generating profits without proper regard to the integrity of the market. This wasn't limited to a few individuals but, on certain desks, it appeared deeply ingrained."
"Deutsche Bank's failings were compounded by them repeatedly misleading us. The bank took far too long to produce vital documents and it moved far too slowly to fix relevant systems and controls," she said.
The FCA said that in one instance, Deutsche in error destroyed 482 tapes of telephone calls that should have been kept. "Deutsche Bank also provided inaccurate information to the regulator about whether other records existed," the FCA said.
The misconduct involved at least 29 Deutsche Bank individuals, including managers and traders, mainly based in London but also in Frankfurt, Tokyo and New York. It took place between 2005 and 2009.
Libor and Euribor are benchmark interest rates, influencing the setting of other rates. They are used as a barometer to measure the health of the banking system and as a gauge of market expectation for future central bank interest rates.
The FCA said they "are fundamental to the operation of both UK and international financial markets".
To set Libor, for example, leading banks submit the rate at which they would lend to each other, with the average rate published each day.
But traders colluded to set these benchmark rates, hoping to improve their trading positions. The regulators released email exchanges between traders and submitters - the people who provide the information on which rate Libor and Euribor is set each day.
One exchange said: "Can we have a high 6mth libor today pls gezzer?" The submitter agreed, "Sure dude, where wld you like it mate ?"
In another exchange about how the rates are set, one banker said: "people just randomly make those numbers up".
The New York Department of Financial Services said that Deutsche still employs some people who were involved, and has demanded their dismissal.
About 10 individuals have already had their employment ended, the DFS said, but it added: "However, certain employees involved in the wrongful conduct remain employed at the Bank.
"The Department orders the Bank to take all steps necessary to terminate seven employees, who played a role in the misconduct but who remain employed by the Bank: one London-based Managing Director, four London-based Directors, one London-based Vice President, and one Frankfurt-based Vice President."
Deutsche Bank did not comment in its statement on the demand for further dismissals. In joint remarks, Jürgen Fitschen and Anshu Jain, co-chief executives, said: "We deeply regret this matter but are pleased to have resolved it. The Bank accepts the findings of the regulators.
"We have disciplined or dismissed individuals involved in the trader misconduct; have substantially strengthened our control teams, procedures and record-keeping; and are conducting a thorough review of the Bank's actions in addressing this matter."
Regulators around the globe have imposed fines and penalties on banks for wrongdoing, from misselling insurance products to market manipulation.
Last year, six banks were fined £2.6bn over their traders' attempted manipulation of foreign exchange rates. A report this month by accountants KPMG estimated that the UK's largest banks have paid 60% of their profits since 2011 in fines and repayments to customers.
All money collected in fines by the FCA goes to the Treasury, apart from a small percentage used to administer charges. The current running total since 1 January 2015 is just over £411m.
Snowball, 49, who had success leading the organisation of the recent Rugby World Cup, was also head of sport operations at the 2012 London Olympics.
The Guildford-based lifelong cricket fan has also served on the Championship committee for Surrey.
He will relocate to the West Midlands next month to replace Povey, 54, who announced his retirement in July.
"I am delighted to have been appointed as Warwickshire's chief executive, joining a club with not only a proud and successful history but with a clear ambition for the future," said Snowball.
"The strength of the playing squad, as evidenced by performances over the last five years, and the world class facilities at Edgbaston offer enormous opportunity."
Warwickshire chairman Norman Gascoigne said: "Neil was the outstanding candidate for the role.
"He will bring a wealth of relevant experience as the club strives for greater success on and off the field, building on the outstanding platform created under the leadership of Colin Povey."
Povey has been in charge for almost 10 years, having taken over from former Warwickshire and England opening batsman Dennis Amiss in January 2006.
His time at the helm has included the £32m redevelopment of the county ground to help restore international cricket to Edgbaston, as well as striking the lucrative deal with the local council to rebrand the county in Twenty20 cricket as the Birmingham Bears in 2013. | Exeter City winger Lee Holmes is set to miss much of the rest of the season after damaging ankle ligaments.

Boro are second from bottom with four matches left to play, and are six points behind 17th-placed Hull.
Three of Boro's four remaining games are against current top-four teams.
"We've got that one over the line," Gibson told BBC Tees. "Why can't we beat Manchester City this weekend?"
Middlesbrough ended a 16-match winless run in the league with the success at the Riverside Stadium.
"We got that win, we're confident, even if people think we're down or won't win, whatever. We'll keep doing what we do, believing and fighting," Gibson added.
"That result will give us that lift to go and do that even more. We beat Sunderland, it's only one win, but for us it's absolutely huge."
Before Wednesday's victory, Boro had accrued just six points from those 16 games without a victory and had not won in the calendar year of 2017.
They need results from home games against Manchester City and Southampton, plus two away trips to Chelsea and Liverpool in their final quartet of matches.
"It's been an awful experience, it's been the most testing time of my career," Gibson said.
"The season hadn't gone the way we wanted but this was a big win - the derby is a massive game in isolation, absolutely huge."
Twitter said UK government agencies and the police made 299 requests for information between January and July, up from 116 in the previous six months.
It makes UK law enforcement the biggest requester of Twitter data in the EU.
Twitter said it had complied with 52% of the requests for information, which could be used to identify a tweeter.
Twitter has published its transparency report since 2012.
The social network said requests for account information worldwide had increased by 52% - the largest ever increase between reports.
It said the United States was behind most of the requests, followed by Japan and Turkey, although the UK remained "a top requester".
Twitter said it had also received nine content removal requests from UK government agencies and the police.
The company said removal requests relate to matters such as defamatory statements or prohibited content. It rejected the nine requests made in the UK.
"Where the police are made aware of a case of any one of a broad range of offences capable of being perpetrated via Twitter, such as harassment, incitement to violence, terrorism or hate for example, and the alleged perpetrator is believed to be a UK citizen, police in the UK may make an application to Twitter for information about that individual," said Assistant Chief Constable Richard Berry from the National Police Chiefs' Council.
"We are confident, given its level of engagement with both law enforcement and government, that Twitter's management is alert to the possible misuse of their platform and is committed to ensuring that we can cooperate fully to combat criminal activity."
A Home Office spokesperson told the BBC: "It is absolutely vital that our police and intelligence agencies are able to obtain information from communications companies in certain limited circumstances, set out in law, to protect the public and ensure national security.
"This information helps to disrupt terrorist plots, uncover criminal networks and keep us safe."
One campaign group told the BBC that it should not be the responsibility of private companies to publish transparency reports.
"Thanks to the transparency reports of internet companies, we know police are already accessing data with far greater frequency than many other countries," said Emma Carr, director of Big Brother Watch.
"If the public are to have any confidence that surveillance powers are being used proportionately, then we should not have to rely on private companies to publish this data.
"The government should proactively be publishing their own transparency reports, highlighting exactly how many requests are being made, how often they are refused and why," she said.
Havering's councillors recently voted by 30 to 15 that the UK would be better off out of the EU.
The 10 most Eurosceptic areas are all in England, with Peterborough and Bracknell Forest second and third.
Ceredigion, Aberdeen and Stirling are the most enthusiastic about the EU, followed by two inner London boroughs, Lambeth and Camden.
Havering has seven Ukip councillors, the highest number of any London borough.
Bromley councillors also voted in favour of leaving the EU last week.
The referendum on EU membership will be held on 23 June.
Matthew Goodwin, co-author of a book about Ukip and a professor of politics at the University of Kent, said coastal towns and eastern England - which Havering borders - were more Eurosceptic than average.
"You tend to have high numbers of working class residents," he said.
"Of all indicators of Euroscepticism, education is the strongest predictor, so if you leave school at 16 you tend to be far more Eurosceptic than people who went to university."
"Euroscepticism also has strongholds in the more wealthy, Tory shires," said YouGov.
"Apart from in Scotland (all Europhile and one mixed), parts of Wales and London many of the Europhile areas are university towns with lower median ages - Liverpool, Manchester, York and Bristol."
A brand new episode of the much loved Give My Head Peace, will launch a new season of comedy from BBC Northern Ireland.
Viewers can expect everything from sitcoms, sketch shows and stand-up, all with one thing in common - that unique Northern Ireland sense of humour.
The new Give My Head Peace episode will be filmed in front of a studio audience next month, with actors Tim McGarry, Olivia Nash, Damon Quinn, Michael McDowell, Alexandra Ford and Marty Reid all returning to their roles.
We will catch up with the gang after an absence of nine years and see how they are getting on in modern-day Northern Ireland.
Tim McGarry, one of the original writers and performers of the show said he was "delighted that Give My Head Peace is returning to our screens".
"BBC Northern Ireland has consistently been the only local broadcaster that has championed comedy in all its forms-from sitcom and sketch formats to stand-up and panel shows," he said.
"For many years across radio, TV and online BBC NI has encouraged and supported writers and performers. It's been great fun being part of it."
The special will be accompanied by a Beginners' Guide to Give My Head Peace, which will look at the sitcom's history from its debut on BBC Radio Ulster in the 1980s, through to its first television appearance in 1995 and on to the farewell special in 2007.
The new season of home-grown comedy will include a new series of The Blame Game on BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC Radio Ulster.
It will start with a 10th anniversary recording of the panel show at the Waterfront Hall.
Patrick Kielty will also be back on BBC Northern Ireland with a second series of Delete Delete Delete for TV audiences and his new self-penned sitcom Big Country, which will make its debut on BBC Radio Ulster.
Delete Delete Delete will see the seasoned presenter invite special guests on the programme to grill them over their browser history.
Kielty's radio sitcom Big Country follows the fortunes of a small time farming family as they attempt to hold onto their struggling border farm.
The cast will include Patrick Kielty, Conleth Hill, Pauline McLynn, Ciaran McMenamin, Amy Huberman and Deirdre O'Kane. The comedy was originally piloted at the BBC Northern Ireland comedy showcase before being commissioned for BBC Radio Ulster.
It won't only be familiar faces and voices this autumn, new comedy talent will also get their chance to stand up and be counted on radio, television and online.
Fresh from presenting Live At The Sunflower comedy showcase series on BBC Radio Ulster, Shane Todd will have his own BBC Radio Ulster series, bringing listeners his own brand of observational sketches and stand-up.
Late Licence, the series of comedy shorts showcasing new and emerging local comedy writers and performers will return for a second series on BBC Two Northern Ireland in early 2017.
Susan Lovell, Head of TV Commissioning for BBC Northern Ireland, is proud of the new comedy slate: "BBC Northern Ireland has a strong commitment to nurturing great local comedy talent, we're gifted with some incredible talent," she said.
"With this new season we're excited to be welcoming back some familiar faces as well as showcasing some promising new talent. I think we've got everything from the edgy to the entertaining, the sharp to the silly and the fresh to the old favourites."
Audiences can get in on the comedy action early by applying to be part of the studio audience for the recording of the new Give My Head Peace special on Sunday 25 September. You can apply for tickets online here.
He hailed Angelou, who has died aged 86, as "a brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman".
She made her name with the memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, which charted a childhood of oppression and abuse in the Deep South in the 1930s.
Her family described her as "a warrior for equality, tolerance and peace".
In a statement on Facebook, they said she passed away quietly at home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at 08:00 EST (12:00 GMT).
"Her family is extremely grateful that her ascension was not belaboured by a loss of acuity or comprehension," they said.
"She lived a life as a teacher, activist, artist and human being... The family is extremely appreciative of the time we had with her and we know that she is looking down upon us with love."
Mr Obama gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian award, in 2011.
He said: "Over the course of her remarkable life, Maya was many things - an author, poet, civil rights activist, playwright, actress, director, composer, singer and dancer.
"But above all, she was a storyteller - and her greatest stories were true.
"A childhood of suffering and abuse actually drove her to stop speaking - but the voice she found helped generations of Americans find their rainbow amidst the clouds, and inspired the rest of us to be our best selves."
Raised by her grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas, Angelou was raped by her mother's boyfriend at the age of seven. After she told her family what had happened, the boyfriend was killed.
"I thought my voice had killed him, so it was better not to speak - so I simply stopped speaking," she said. She remained mute for five years, but read voraciously.
Former President Bill Clinton, who invited Angelou to read at his 1993 inauguration, said America had lost a national treasure and he and wife Hillary had lost "a beloved friend".
"The poems and stories she wrote and read to us in her commanding voice were gifts of wisdom and wit, courage and grace," he said.
"I will always be grateful for her electrifying reading of On the Pulse of Morning at my first inaugural, and even more for all the years of friendship that followed."
Others paying tribute included civil rights campaigner Reverend Jesse Jackson, who wrote on Twitter: "The renaissance woman has made a peaceful transition. She acted, sang, danced & taught She used poetry as a road for peace."
Harry Potter author JK Rowling tweeted one of Angelou's quotes: "'If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.' Maya Angelou - who was utterly amazing."
A statement from Wake Forest University, where Angelou had been professor of American studies since 1982, said: "Dr Angelou was a national treasure whose life and teachings inspired millions around the world."
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, which dealt with the racism and family trauma of her upbringing, spent two years on the US best-seller list after its publication in 1970. It was the first of seven memoirs.
After the poverty, violence and segregation of her childhood, she became a singer, a dancer, cocktail waitress, prostitute and an actress before beginning her writing career.
Her career had many outlets, straddling television, theatre, film, children's books and music.
Angelou was also a prominent civil rights activist and a friend of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.
Through her writing and interviews, her strength and eloquence as a role model for those seeking to overcome inequality and injustice won her many admirers.
In her final Facebook post on Monday, she said an "unexpected medical emergency" had forced her to cancel an engagement.
The club's board will begin discussions on Monday over McCulloch's future - he has been in charge since Lee Clark left for Bury in February.
The Rugby Park side ensured their Scottish Premiership survival with Saturday's win over Inverness CT.
"I've always said that when we're safe, I imagine a meeting will happen," McCulloch said after the victory.
The former Rangers, Wigan and Motherwell player has won four of his 12 games at the helm - all in the league - and has lost and drawn the same number.
"We've not spoken for two-to-three months, so I don't want to get carried away," he added. "I just want to concentrate on this performance - it's our 25th consecutive season in the top flight.
"I'm not a big-headed guy or a talker. Once we sit down we'll have discussions, that's all I can say. It's probably best we do it sooner rather than later.
"I've surprised myself a little bit. But with the managers I've worked under and players I've worked with, I've not got bad experience. It's literally one day at a time and that's the best way to continue to be."
A steady stream of onlookers has gathered since the first brushstroke touched the towering grain silos.
The paint is barely dry on the portrait of the schoolgirl gazing down from the top of the 30m (100ft) structure and already it is the talk of the town.
The artist is Guido van Helten who has made a name for himself making large-scale public artworks in cities across Europe and the US.
He has now become the centre of attention in Coonalpyn, a farming town in South Australia with a population of about 200 and a giant sense of community.
"It's just a very small town on the highway between Adelaide and Melbourne," Mr van Helten told the BBC. "People probably drive through here all the time without even knowing its name."
A cafe looking out onto the work in progress is one of the first businesses to open in the town for years. A retired lorry driver, who spends days taking photos of the artist painting from a cherry-picker, has even become a something of a local celebrity himself.
It's a long way from the famous graffiti-covered laneways of Melbourne and, in a way, that's the point. Locals commissioned the project after a similar artwork by Mr van was Helten was credited with boosting visitors to Brim, a dwindling farming town in Victoria.
"It was probably one of my most uplifting projects because I could directly see that what I had done has made some sort of difference and I didn't expect that at all," Mr van Helten told the BBC.
The Brisbane-based artist says his work is primarily about places and spaces. He typically arrives in the cities where he works with no preconceived ideas and embeds himself in local communities as part of his process.
"There's a bit of a global movement that recognises the value of mural art as tool for regeneration," he said.
He has plans to travel next to Raukkan an Aboriginal community in South Australia, followed by Dubai and Nashville.
"I'm not getting invites from New York," he said.
"The offers comes from the forgotten about places or the places that want to try new things or use their infrastructure in a creative way."
Rennes defender Dimitri Cavare and Watford defender Juan Paredes were both loan targets for the Championship club.
Coyle, 50, also confirmed they tried to sign Lens defender Abdoul Ba, as well as Vancouver Whitecaps' Giles Barnes.
Rovers football director Paul Senior had said funds were available to spend in the transfer window.
Forwards Marvin Emnes and Lucas Joao were the only players to come into Ewood Park in January, with Blackburn battling relegation.
A proposed loan move for Celtic defender Efe Ambrose is waiting on a decision over whether his work permit can be transferred from Scotland to England and he can be registered, but he has been training with the club until a decision is confirmed.
Argentine midfielder Mugni, 25, and former Birmingham City defender Caddis, 28, are both free agents.
On his trialists, Coyle told BBC Radio Lancashire: "The decision with Paul is whether he can have an immediate impact in helping us. Lucas Mugni is a very talented and gifted attacking midfield player."
The 53-year-old Portuguese, who was sacked by the Blues in December, is increasingly hopeful of succeeding Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford.
No agreement has been reached, and the club have made no comment, but negotiations have begun.
Dutchman Van Gaal, 64, is expected to leave United at the end of the season - one year earlier than scheduled.
That would leave the way clear for Mourinho, who is known to be excited by the prospect of taking over at Old Trafford.
The United hierarchy are thought to be keen to respond after Manchester City secured the services of coveted former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola earlier this week.
Mourinho's arrival would mean a resumption of a rivalry that began in Spain when he was coach of Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013.
Twice in recent weeks, Van Gaal's tenure has seemed perilous.
However, defeats by Stoke on Boxing Day and Southampton on 23 January have been followed by an improvement in both form and performance.
United, who are five points adrift of the Champions League places, play Chelsea on Sunday (16:00 GMT).
It is widely assumed the most obvious alternative to Mourinho is Ryan Giggs, Van Gaal's assistant.
The Welshman, who joined United aged 14, made a record 963 appearances for the club and won 13 Premier League titles.
The 42-year-old took over as manager on an interim basis in April 2014 following the sacking of David Moyes.
Although he has not spoken about the United job since Van Gaal took over, it would be a surprise were he not interested in replacing the Dutchman should the opportunity arise.
However, while Giggs was happy to further his education under Van Gaal, he is unlikely to be as willing to work with Mourinho.
Mourinho's first spell as Chelsea manager lasted from 2004 to 2007, and included two Premier League titles.
On his return, he again led the London club to the title, but left just seven months later.

He made a disastrous start to this season, losing nine of the first 16 league games, and departed with the team 16th in the league, one point above the relegation zone.
The former Porto boss fell out with the Blues' medical team, in particular club doctor Eva Carneiro, after describing them as "naive" for running on to the pitch to treat midfielder Eden Hazard during a draw against Swansea in August.
Carneiro, who left the club on 22 September, is taking legal action against Mourinho and the Blues.
Mourinho has never hidden his admiration for United, and particularly their legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Speaking before taking his Inter Milan side to Old Trafford for a Champions League last-16 tie in 2009, he said: "I want to face the best and United are a team of champions with a super coach in Alex Ferguson."
But after being linked with the manager's job following the departure of Ferguson in 2013, he declared his allegiance to Chelsea.
"I would have turned down every job in the world - the Manchester United job, every one - for Chelsea," he said.
There were reports last month that Mourinho had written a six-page letter outlining his suitability for the United role, but that was dismissed as "absurd" by his agent.
Simon Stone - BBC Sport football reporter
Before the red carpet is rolled out to welcome Manchester United's new manager, a word of warning.
Talks should not be interpreted as an agreement, as an offer, or even the promise of one. None of that has happened.
Neither should we assume Ryan Giggs is out of the running, nor that the merits of Laurent Blanc and Mauricio Pochettino, the two other realistic candidates for the job, have been discarded.
The fact is, given the pressure Louis van Gaal has been under recently, United's hierarchy simply would not be doing their jobs properly if they did not at least get some idea of the thinking behind the major candidates.
And what of Van Gaal?
He may have twice looked as though he was on the brink of being sacked, but he is still in a job and on Tuesday his side delivered their best performance of the season in beating Stoke 3-0.
Even Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini accepts United are not out of the Premier League title race just yet - and if they did win it, there would be no vacancy for Mourinho to fill at the end of the season anyway.
Each event will focus on specific sectors including forestry, fish farming and food and drink.
The discussions will be hosted by Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing.
They will bring together industry representatives to recommend action to boost investment and consider how to protect interests with the EU.
Mr Ewing said: "I want to drive forward the rural economy and there are a number of sectors which have a crucial role to play in this.
"That's why I am hosting a series of summits to bring together key players, identify the barriers to growth and recommend potential actions to increase investment and boost jobs.
"Clearly our place in Europe is a key issue when it comes to our economy, and our rural economy in particular.
"That is why we are working to maintain our relationship with the EU, and how we can best protect Scotland's interests will be an important part of the discussions at each of our summits."
The first summit in the series will be held on Thursday and will focus on the farmed shellfish sector.
The project, which will record every last detail of Orkney's St Magnus Cathedral, is to begin later this year.
Orkney Islands Council is currently looking for experts to carry out detailed scans of the internal and external structure of the cathedral.
A 3D record of the building can then be compared with future scans to detect any changes in its fabric.
It will allow for analyses of weathering, erosion, decay, moss build-up or shifts due to subsidence.
It is also hoped the scans can be used to aid research and enhance tourism by developing digital tours of the cathedral under separate proposals for a major exhibition on the history of Kirkwall.
The Society of the Friends of St Magnus Cathedral have given the project their backing, committing to contribute half of the costs of the laser scanning.
The society's secretary David Oddie said they were delighted to be contributing.
He said: "It goes right to the core of our chief aim - protecting and safeguarding the condition of this majestic building. The joint funding of this work is a reflection of the good relationship we've had with the council for many years."
The Romano-Gothic cathedral, built from red and yellow sandstone, is of international significance.
The foundations were placed in 1137, and the building, dedicated to Magnus Erlendsson, Earl of Orkney, took about 300 years to build.
It was assigned to the inhabitants of Kirkwall by King James III of Scotland in a charter dated 1486.
The "brutalist" style building, earmarked for demolition, is one of seven monuments being placed on an "at risk" list by the World Monuments Fund (WMF).
Its 2012 World Monuments Watch list also includes The Hayward Gallery and Coventry Cathedral.
These latest entries mean the UK now has 30 sites on the WMF's list.
Others include Birmingham Central Library, Quarr Abbey on the Isle of Wight and the South Atlantic island of Saint Helena.
Launched in 1996, the list of monuments at risk is issued every two years and has identified 67 monuments from around the world in its latest report.
The WMF has included 688 sites in 132 countries and territories on its nine watch lists so far.
The WMF says its list "seeks to draw international attention as well as local community support for some of the world's most treasured locations".
It also says that a monument or building's inclusion on its watch list can be crucial in raising awareness and funds for its preservation.
British monuments deemed at risk
Coventry Cathedral - the only English cathedral to be destroyed as an act of war - was gutted by incendiary bombs during World War II. A new cathedral was built, but the ruins were also preserved.
The WMF says that "exposure to the elements over time has eroded the ruins, and significant water infiltration problems and structural deterioration require immediate action".
Newstead Abbey is best known as the ancestral home of Lord Byron, but the watch list says it has "suffered significant deterioration, and a strategy for its conservation and long-term maintenance is greatly needed".
It also adds that the building's "restoration... would benefit the local community".
The watch list has included three buildings - the Hayward Gallery, Birmingham City Library and Preston Bus Station - under the heading of British Brutalism.
Preston Bus Station - once the largest bus station in the world - is scheduled to be pulled down as part of a redevelopment plan for the city centre.
Birmingham Central Library, the largest non-national library in Europe, is also threatened with demolition for redevelopment purposes.
The buildings were all were designed "in what is commonly referred to as the brutalist style... characterised by bold geometries, the exposure of structural materials, and functional spatial design", says the report..
The Hayward Gallery at the Southbank Centre was, according to the WMF, once deemed "a visionary combination of performance spaces and an art gallery, but it continues to be denied heritage status".
The ancient, now-ruined Cistercian Abbey of St Mary's at Quarr was founded in 1132 on the Isle of Wight. The watch list says that these medieval ruins are in need of repair, as are the monastic buildings and surrounding infrastructure.
The report also lists the South Atlantic island of Saint Helena, once home to the French Emperor Napoleon in exile.
The WMF notes the island "is not eligible for most conservation funding available in the United Kingdom, even though it is a British Territory".
The watch list adds: "If more resources were made available to the island, the conserved built heritage could be used to bolster the economy through tourism development, especially after the construction of a planned airport."
WMF chief executive Jonathan Foyle said: "For a decade and a half, the Watch has reminded us that no country is immune to man-made and natural disasters, and the casual degradations of its built environment.
"We can never afford to take for granted our irreplaceable and enriching cultural inheritance, but in an age of greater austerity this Watch further reminds to be vigilant, look after and enjoy historic places, many of which we could not afford to build today."
Officers said the "white powder type substance" was delivered between 25 and 26 April.
They said the packages were "associated with the forthcoming UK general election".
Those who received the packages include SNP MP John Nicolson and an Angus Council building in Forfar.
Officers were called to Mr Nicolson's office in East Dunbartonshire on Tuesday afternoon, while emergency services attended at Angus Council's municipal buildings in Forfar on Wednesday.
Police advice has been sent to all elected representatives across Scotland.
The guidance includes actions that MPs, MSPs, councillors and their staff should take if suspicious mail is received at their offices.
Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Mawson said emergency services were also responding to reports of suspicious packages delivered to the Scottish Police Federation building in Glasgow and to the Association of Scottish Police Superintendents based at the Scottish Police College, in Tulliallan, Fife, on Thursday.
He said that at Tulliallan no dangerous or noxious substance was involved and emergency services had been stood down and that inquiries were continuing the other incident.
Holyrood's Public Petitions Committee said that while good practice did exist the overall picture was "piecemeal".
The committee's report said more research was needed into the "hidden" problem so the full scale of exploitation could be established.
Charities who had called for the inquiry have welcomed the report.
The committee pointed to a number of complexities surrounding the issue, including the fact that young people sometimes did not recognise themselves as victims, a normalisation of intimate sexual relations and online and mobile technology allowing peer sexual bullying and "sexting".
It said education programmes showing young people how to recognise and challenge sexual exploitation and bullying should be made available across all communities in Scotland.
The investigation began after the child protection charity Barnardo's handed in a petition calling for new research into the nature and scope of child sexual exploitation in Scotland and urging new government guidelines.
The committee's report included powerful first-hand accounts which have been made anonymous.
One victim, known as Jessica, said when she was 14 she was involved with a group of older children who introduced her to drugs which she could not afford to buy.
"My new mates said that it was fine and introduced me to a new boy in the group," she said.
"After I had slept with him, I realised that I'd been used, but it was too late. I ended up hooked on drugs.
"The need and the want became more and more. Next thing was, he made me sleep with one of his friends to clear a drugs debt.‟
In a series of recommendations the MSPs said Scotland lacked a clear strategy to deal with the problem, although they recognised there was no hard evidence on the full extent of child sexual exploitation (CSE) and bullying.
They called for further research to improve the way it was being tackled.
Committee convener David Stewart said there was a very real danger that CSE would continue to be hidden if the full extent was not uncovered.
"The committee recognises that although there is a lot of positive work being done, it can be piecemeal.
"It lacks the clear leadership and co-ordination needed to tackle effectively the sexual exploitation of our children."
The Labour MSP told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "It did appear to us that there were gaps in the system. There's evidence of not enough co-ordination, certainly evidence of lack of training.
"We also need to look at using existing legislation in a much more comprehensive way. For example, we find that Risk of Sexual Harm Orders are not being used sufficiently.
"And we have good legislation like the Protection of Children and Sexual and Prevention of Sexual Offences Act 2005.
"Frankly, it's not being used."
Barnardo's Scotland welcomed the report.
Its director, Martin Crewe, said: "The sexual exploitation of children is a sickening crime, and I think the committee has been shocked by the evidence Barnardo's Scotland and others have presented.
"We launched out petition on this subject in 2011 because of concerns from our frontline staff about a lack of focus on tackling the sexual exploitation of children in Scotland.
"The committee took on board these concerns, and have identified a series of important measures in the inquiry that followed our petition to tackle sexual exploitation of children."
Among the other recommendations in the report were:
A spokesman for the Scottish government said it did not tolerate any form of child abuse, and the wellbeing and safety of children and young people was paramount.
He added: "That's why we have already taken several important steps including working with child protection experts to produce a report examining the problem of child sexual exploitation in Scotland and established an expert working group to build on the progress made in strengthening the support for vulnerable young people.
"While we will consider the recommendations of this report, it is welcome that both the committee and working group findings recognise progress has been made. We are also further updating the National Child Protection Guidance and other work to ensure robust procedures are in place for all children at risk."
Matt Forde, head of service for child welfare charity NSPCC Scotland, described the committee's report as a "critical step forward".
He added: "There is no doubt that child sexual exploitation is a significant issue for young people in Scotland, and one which requires a coordinated, national solution.
"While children from all walks of life - and from the most loving of families - can be affected, some will inevitably be more vulnerable than others. For this reason, the committee's recommendation on tackling other factors such as neglect, which put children at particular risk, is most welcome.
"There is still a great deal we don't know about the extent of child sexual exploitation and its long-term impact on victims, however we do know that interventions must be appropriate and timely.
"Importantly, we need to dispel the myth that CSE is simply the outworkings of 'unsavoury' generational norms. It is not - it is child abuse."
Site owner Westgate Oxford Alliance will showcase the plans at the Westgate Consultation suite in the centre from 10:00 to 17:30 BST until Wednesday.
The revamp includes 100 shops and 122 homes, as well as a cinema, eateries and a basement car park.
Permission to transform the 1973-built centre was granted in March.
Residents can also comment on the plans online and a further exhibition is planned for the summer to show how the designs have progressed.
The detailed designs will form part of a planning application due for submission later this year.
BDP Architects is co-ordinating the work of Allies & Morrison Architects, Dixon Jones Architects, Glenn Howells Architects, Panter Hudspith Architects and landscape architects Gillespies.
The redevelopment is expected to be completed by 2017.
Plans to redevelop the area have been considered since 1988, but various concerns delayed any progress.
The girl had told investigators she was one of 270 abducted in Nigeria in 2014 by Islamist militant group Boko Haram.
She had explosives strapped to her body, had been drugged and was badly injured when she was arrested last week, Cameroonian officials say.
Boko Haram is increasingly using girls to carry out suicide bombings.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari ordered a new investigation into the kidnappings in January, but admitted he had no information on the girls' whereabouts.
The abductions of the schoolgirls from Chibok town in north-eastern Nigeria sparked international outrage and the #BringBackOurGirls social media campaign.
While about 50 of the girls managed to escape, 219 of the girls remain missing.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has said some of the girls have been converted to Islam and forced to marry Boko Haram fighters.
There have been reports that some of them may have been forced to fight for the militant group, which is affiliated to Islamic State.
Although Boko Haram has been driven out from most of the areas it controlled in north-eastern Nigeria, it has continued to carry out suicide bombings and raids into neighbouring Cameroon, Chad and Niger.

Retrospective planning permission for people to live all year-round at Lakeminster Park, near Beverley was refused in 2012 by East Riding Council.
Following appeals, the decision was upheld and residents were given 18 months from September 2014 to move out.
Six months on, 30 units have been removed, vacated or are soon to be empty.
Pete Ashcroft, the council's head of planning and development management, said: "The council understands the difficulties being faced by the occupants of Lakeminster Park, but is encouraged that so many have already complied with the enforcement notice and well ahead of the deadline of March 2016.
"We understand the concerns of those living on the park and, if they have not yet done so, we would strongly advise them to seek independent legal advice on this decision and what options are now open to them."
Dieng made 68 appearances in two seasons with the Latics, who he joined from Stade Brestois in June 2014.
The 24-year-old has also previously played for Zurich-based Swiss top division side Grasshoppers.

"I am looking forward to playing in front of the fans and in this great atmosphere."

For whenever someone buys one of its timepieces, it likes to hand it over in person - no matter where the buyer is on the planet.
"When we sell a watch we always try to deliver our creation personally to the customer, regardless of where they are in the in the world," says co-founder Tim Gronefeld, 43.
"We visit them and organise a dinner or small event where we hand over the watch."
You might question how a little-known, family-owned Dutch company can afford such largesse, but as its watches cost as much as 170,000 euros ($188,000; £120,000) it can stretch to the airfares.
And as it makes no more than 30 timepieces a year, Gronefeld doesn't need an army of in-house deliverymen.
Instead the business, which was founded in 2008 by Tim and his 46-year-old brother Bart, has a team of just 12 people.
In the world of luxury watches, Switzerland remains very much the dominant country.
Led by giants such as Rolex, Swatch Group (which owns Omega and Longines), and Richemont (whose brands include IWC and Jaeger-LeCoultre), overall Swiss watch exports totalled 20.6bn Swiss francs ($21bn; £13.5bn) in 2013, according to industry figures.
Altogether there are some 90 watchmakers in Switzerland. The industry leader Rolex makes up to 2,000 watches per day. At the other end of the spectrum tiny boutique watchmakers produce fewer than 100 timepieces a year.
But while Switzerland dominates the sector, other European countries are also home to luxury watchmakers, often tiny family firms like Gronefeld.
Lacking the vast advertising and sponsorship budgets of the likes of Swatch, how do Europe's small independent watchmakers - both inside and outside of Switzerland - stay in business and find customers?
Finland's Stepan Sarpaneva keeps a close eye on his cashflows by only making watches to order. And he makes fewer than 50 Sarpaneva timepieces per year.
"I decided early on that I wanted to maintain the quality of my timepieces, and that meant limiting the number I made each year," says the 45-year-old, who started his business in 2003.
"Because of that I only have a small number of key retailers who sell about 50% of my watches, while the other 50% of sales come directly from me.
"I make to order, so I am able to sell all the watches I make. This means I don't need to travel extensively, or continually increase the number of resellers."
Mr Sarpaneva, who learned his craft at the Finnish Watchmaking School and the Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Program, takes up to two weeks to make his most complicated watches.
The watches' designs typically reflect his own passions, such as the stars, the Northern Lights and the Moon. And prices can be as high as 14,500 euros.
A few years ago Mr Sarpaneva also launched a cheaper sister brand, called SUF, which is quicker and easier to manufacture.
While SUF watches are aimed at a wider customer base, they still cost as much as 3,000 euros, and production is limited to 90 timepieces per year.
Englishman Peter Speake-Marin, 47, launched his eponymous watch business in Switzerland in 2002.
With only a handful of staff to begin with, he had to carry out most of the sales work himself. He says that orders quickly built up, and remained strong, only to come to an abrupt halt when the 2008 financial crisis hit.
Looking back, Mr Speake-Marin says: "In previous years clients focused on quality first, and then the price. But suddenly this attitude reversed completely."
Forced to spend even more time on the road to drum up sales, things got worse for Mr Speake-Marin in 2009 when during a carjacking in Los Angeles several very expensive watches were stolen.
He says he realised that nothing but a completely new sales approach would work to turn the business around.
"Selling a small number of watches each trip wasn't going to grow the business," he says.
So Mr Speake-Marin started to try to sell his watches through shops and distributors, and took on an investor who brought in fresh finance.
Like most independent watch-makers, Mr Speake-Marin has also increasingly used social media as a free way of promoting the business. Yet this cannot hope to compete with the exposure the big luxury watchmakers get from celebrity endorsements.
However, luck was very much on Mr Speake-Marin's side in 2013 when he got a call from film production company.
The makers of a movie called Survivor wanted him to advise on scenes in which a character played by actor Pierce Brosnan made upmarket watches.
Mr Speake-Marin agreed, and through that involvement, built up a friendship with Mr Brosnan. So much so that the actor agreed to start promoting Mr Speake-Marin's watches.
Today sales are strong again at the company, and the 10 members of staff sell more than 800 timepieces per year. Prices are as high as 250,000 Swiss francs ($257,000; £165,000).
Back in the Netherlands, Bart Gronefeld says sales have steadily built up after a difficult start.
"Launching a high quality handmade watch in 2008 was, in retrospect, bad timing," he says.
"Orders were difficult to come by, but we always knew that it would take 10 years to build a brand. Each year our production numbers have increased steadily, and today our order book is filled for the next six months."
Last year insurance company Admiral sponsored the main tree outside Cardiff Castle and it was up in time for the city's Step Into Christmas event.
But there will be no tree for the event on Thursday night.
Cardiff council said there will be a tree, but it will not be up until 25 November as it is being shipped from China.
David Hughes-Lewis, an independent retailer in Cardiff, said: "It seems a bit daft - turning all the Christmas lights on and there's no tree."
Cardiff councillor Jayne Cowan said: "Our residents and visitors want to embrace the Christmas atmosphere, and the lack of a tree will do nothing to enhance this."
A council spokesman said they have secured a 40m (131ft) tree which will be the "centrepiece of our festive decorations" outside Cardiff Castle.
The Step into Christmas event includes a street parade, the opening of Winter Wonderland and market stalls.
Curiosity, which has been on the Mars surface for two years, tweeted "Namaste @MarsOrbiter" and congratulated India on its first interplanetary mission.
@MarsOrbiter, in one of its first ever tweets, replied: "Howdy @MarsCuriosity? Keep in touch. I'll be around."
India is only the fourth nation or geo-bloc to have a probe at Mars.
Only the US, Russia and Europe have previously sent missions to Mars, and India has succeeded on its first attempt - an achievement that eluded even the Americans and the Soviets.
The latest US satellite, Maven, arrived at Mars on Monday.
The Mangalyaan - which means "Mars craft" in Hindi - will soon begin work studying the Red Planet's atmosphere.
It will take pictures of the planet, study its atmosphere and try to detect methane in the Martian air, which could be an indicator of biological activity at, or more likely just below, the surface.
Within the first fours hours of launching its Twitter account, @MarsOrbiter had more than 32,000 followers and #Mangalyaan, #IndiaAtMars, #marsorbitormission and #Martian were among the top 10 Twitter trends in India.
Mangalyaan - more formally referred to as Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) - was launched from the Sriharikota spaceport on the coast of the Bay of Bengal on 5 November 2013.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the country had achieved the "near impossible".

Full-back Paul McGinn crashed in the opening goal after running on to a neat Gary Harkins pass.
Harkins then crossed for Kane Hemmings to double the hosts' advantage from close range on 29 minutes.
Greg Stewart slammed in a shot after the interval and fired home a late free-kick after Kevin Holt had tucked away a rebound.
Dundee dominated from the outset with the Championship visitors struggling to cope with the movement of Stewart, Hemmings and Rory Loy up front, while Harkins was given far too much room to dictate play from the middle of the park.
Paul Hartley's side had been held to a goalless draw in the rain-soaked original tie but this was a one-sided contest.
The breakthrough came on 16 minutes and from an unlikely source.
Harkins played in a reverse pass for McGinn who beat goalkeeper Mark Brown at his near post with a fierce strike for his first goal of the season.
The Sons squandered their best chance within a minute of the restart as Scott Taggart's cutback fell perfectly for Jordan Kirkpatrick but the midfielder rushed his shot and the ball fell tamely into the arms of Scott Bain.
Another blank leaves Dumbarton with just one goal in their last six outings, while Hemmings grabbed his 13th in 11 games after more good work from Harkins.
The midfielder clipped the ball into the near post where the in-form striker slid the ball beyond Brown for his 19th of the season.
Stewart had been seeing plenty of the ball and he fired in number three five minutes into the second half.
The striker ghosted into the box from the right before sliding the ball into the left hand corner of the goal as the Dumbarton defence looked on.
Loy worked tirelessly throughout and looked to have won a penalty when he tumbled to the ground after a challenge by Darren Barr.
But referee Stephen Finnie stunned the home crowd by booking the former Rangers and Falkirk striker, the third yellow card of the evening for alleged simulation.
The fourth goal arrived with 10 minutes remaining as Brown saved from substitute Craig Wighton only to be beaten by left-back Holt who was following up.
The rout was complete in stoppage time when man-of-the-match Stewart fired home a free kick from 25 yards, with the defensive wall falling apart.
It rounded off a fine evening for Stewart and Hartley's men, who will travel full of confidence to Ibrox for their first visit since 2004.
Dundee's Paul Hartley: "It was professional, it was clinical. It was a good night for us.
"I thought our movement was terrific, we had some great combination play.
"It looks like a penalty when Loy is caught in the box but we're not complaining too much.
"It's great to be in the quarter-finals but we have some important games before that."
Dumbarton's Stephen Aitken: "We're bitterly disappointed in the manner in which we lost the game.
"Dundee were ruthless but they are cheap goals from our point of view. The reality is Dundee were better than us on the night.
"We stick together, we have done all season, and we'll bounce back."
Boosted by self-assessment tax receipts, January is typically a strong month for government finances.
For the financial year-to-date, borrowing stands at £49.3bn, the lowest since the comparable period of 2008.
Economists say strong tax receipts mean the government could undershoot the forecast deficit of £68bn for the current financial year.
The forecast was made by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) in November's Autumn Statement, although this estimate marked a sharp revision from the previous prediction of £55.5bn.
Kamal Ahmed: Chancellor Hammond’s £10bn of green shoots
Philip Hammond presents his Budget on 8 March, and the chancellor will base his budget calculations on updated figures on growth and borrowing supplied by the OBR.
In a statement, a Treasury spokesperson said: "We remain committed to returning the public finances to balance and building on our progress in reducing the deficit from 10% to 4% of GDP over the last six years."
Earlier this month, the EY Item Club economic think tank said that estimated borrowing for the 2016-17 financial year could be revised down to £65bn from the £68bn forecast made in the Autumn Statement.
"The OBR is likely to deliver some rare good news to the chancellor by revising down its forecast for public sector net borrowing in the current fiscal year," the EY Item Club said in its Budget preview.
"Unusually, tax revenues have been performing better than expected in recent months," it said.
Other forecasters are even more optimistic about the outlook for UK finances.
John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC, thinks that borrowing for the financial year could be less than £60bn. As a result, the chancellor might have some room for extra spending in the Budget.
"Overall, the public finances now look in rather better shape than they did three months ago, and more in line with other data showing a relatively robust UK economy in the period since the Brexit vote.
"This should give the chancellor a bit more room in his Budget on 8th March to find extra money for priorities like the NHS and social care, and possibly also to alleviate the increase in business rates for the biggest losers from the coming revaluation in April."
Philip Hammond is not a man known for political surprises.
Spreadsheet Phil, as he probably doesn't like to be called, prefers to keep any rabbits that might be hopping around Whitehall stuffed deep in the Treasury's public spending hat.
So, anyone thinking that today's better news on the state of government's finances will lead to any Budget largesse is likely to be disappointed.
Those close to him are making clear, there may be some minor tweaks but there will not be major changes of direction on Budget day on 8 March.
Brexit is still, in the Treasury's mind, a risk to the economy that looms large and any buffers built up now are likely to be kept back for future rainy days - if they come - rather than be spent now.

A special meeting of council leaders is due to take place in Edinburgh on Tuesday.
Ahead of that, Cosla president David O'Neill urged Scottish ministers to preserve funding in this week's budget.
The Scottish government said local government had been treated fairly despite cuts to the overall Scottish budget made by Westminster.
The local government revenue settlement funding for councils is due to be announced on Thursday, along with the budget.
Cosla's David O'Neill told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme that local government was shouldering more than its "fair share" of cuts.
He said councils were "very adept" at changing the way they worked to cope with budget pressures.
They now need to change how they work with other public agencies, he said.
"Local authorities work better with the health service and other public agencies, but other public agencies are more reluctant to change," he added.
"We need to get other public agencies to come with us."
Mr O'Neill also called for an end to one-year financial settlements, which make it "impossible to plan for the long term".
"We need a long term settlement and a long term solution," he said.
Mr O'Neill said "a cut of the magnitude of last year's £349m would have a disastrous impact on both communities and services".
He added: "All too often when we talk of cuts to local government these are seen in the abstract. The reality is that we are talking about real cuts to services and jobs.
"The simple truth is that a cut to local government means a cut in teaching assistants, a cut in levels of care for all our elderly relatives, cuts for the homeless as a freezing winter starts to bite and cuts to gritting of the roads at a time of freezing temperatures when trains and the wider transport network is struggling to cope.
"Make no mistake, the Scottish government has a political choice here and with additional cash of £418m for next year there should be no cut to local government."
The Scottish government said it remained committed to engaging Cosla in further dialogue on a range of issue.
A spokesman said the finance secretary's Scottish draft budget would "support our economy, tackle inequality and provide high-quality public services for all".
He added: "Local government has experienced the same reduction in funding as was imposed on the Scottish government by Westminster - as outlined in an independent report from Audit Scotland.
"It is therefore clear that local government has been treated very fairly despite the cuts to the Scottish budget from the UK government.
"Local government finance settlements were maintained in Scotland on a like-for-like basis over the period 2012-16, with extra money for new responsibilities resulting in total settlements of £10.8bn in 2014-15 and of over £10.85bn in 2015-16.
"Taking into account the addition of the £250m to support the integration of health and social care, the overall reduction in 2016-17 funding equates to less than 1% of local government's total estimated expenditure in 2016-17."
Meanwhile, a study commissioned by a separate local government umbrella body, has warned council budgets could be cut by £700m by the end of the current Parliament.
The Scottish Local Government Partnership (SLGP) consists of Aberdeen, Glasgow, Renfrewshire and South Lanarkshire Councils.
It commissioned a report by economic think-tank the Fraser of Allander Institute ahead of this week's Scottish budget.
The report said local authorities have suffered more than £1bn of cuts over the past five years and could face further reductions.
Last month, a report from the Accounts Commission said Scotland's councils face "significant challenges" managing their finances in future years.
Auditors found local authorities were generally in good financial health in 2015-16, but faced a difficult future.
The report warned councils needed "to change the way they work" and make long-term plans if they were to achieve the savings needed.
Relegated Middlesbrough have spent more than £30m on new players, while Wolves paid a club-record fee of about £15m for Porto midfielder Ruben Neves.
Town have added five new faces so far, with Tom Adeyemi, Joe Garner and Emyr Huws joining on permanent deals.
"I am not complaining but I just do not know how it can be sustained," McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"I think it is outrageous - but don't get me wrong if I had it, I would spend it.
"I get Middlesbrough signing their players because of the parachute payments. Bristol City spent £5m on a striker [Famara Diedhiou] and Wolves spent £15m on a holding midfield player for heaven's sake - they already have a £13m winger [Helder Costa, signed in January]."
Town have also signed Wolves defender Dominic Iorfa and Manchester City winger Bersant Celina on season-long loan deals.
Iorfa said: "There is like a new regime there at Wolves now. They have signed a lot of players so I knew that I might have to go somewhere else to play football. Luckily Mick gave me this opportunity."
McCarthy has said he is happy with Ipswich's own summer business and believes former Rangers striker Garner should be viewed as a "bargain".
"When I signed Joe Garner I don't think there was too much excitement about it," the 58-year-old added. "I think he is now being seen as a bargain considering what's being spent.
"I am pleased with what we have spent and the signings we have made."
The road had been closed since the start of the week, when Tropical Storm Manuel caused floods and mudslides.
At least 600 buses are going to transport out the 20,000-plus tourists who are still stranded, officials say.
Meanwhile, rescue operations continue as nearly 70 people are missing in one village on the Pacific coast.
The gradual clean-up of parts of the state of Guerrero is revealing the full extent of human suffering, the BBC's Will Grant in Mexico City says.
In La Pintada, one coffee grower told reporters he lost 30 members of his family in the mudslides which engulfed most of the village on Monday.
About 100 people were killed by storms that hit the country earlier in the week.
Elsewhere in Guerrero, as well as the neighbouring Oaxaca and Michoacan states, residents still face flooding.
Reports about water-borne and insect-borne diseases are increasing, and the Mexican Red Cross says medical supplies are a priority.
With the re-opening of the main highway between Acapulco and Mexico City, officials hope to transport about 22,000 remaining stranded tourists out of the beach town.
About 600 free buses are expected to circulate to and from the capital.
Earlier in the week, an airlift was put in place, but the reopening of the road is expected to speed up the return.
A helicopter involved in the rescue effort in the area has disappeared with three crew on board, according to Mexican media.
Meanwhile, President Enrique Pena Nieto cancelled a planned trip to the UN in New York next week to focus on relief efforts.
Tropical Storm Manuel, which on Thursday briefly became a hurricane, affected 100,000 people in Sinaloa state, the government says.
As it hit land, Manuel brought torrential rain and winds of up to 120km/h (75mph) and caused flash floods.
At least 15 towns were cut off from the rest of the state by water and mud.
Meanwhile, humanitarian aid pledges are starting to flow in.
A donation collection is under way in Mexico City, with citizens food and basic items to the main square, the Zocalo, to be distributed to the worst affected areas, the BBC's Will Grant says.
The Mexican government says it will invest an initial $11m (£7.2m) to create jobs in the affected areas.
The White House offered $250,000 (£156,000) in emergency aid to the Mexican Red Cross via the government's aid agency, USAID.
The Inter-American Development Bank pledged $400,000 (£250,000), while the United Nations offered its help to gather funds and aid.
Republicans and now some Democrats have criticised Mr Obama's plans, seizing on his earlier statements that the militants had been "contained".
"We are going to continue the strategy that has the best chance of working," he told reporters in Turkey on Monday.
However, he said the US would intensify its efforts against the militants.
At times sounding frustrated, Mr Obama pushed back against those who say the US is not doing enough to stop IS.
"This is not a traditional military opponent. We can retake territory and as long as we keep our troops there we can hold it. But that does not solve the underlying problem of eliminating the dynamics that are producing these kinds of violent, extremist groups," Mr Obama said.
He called the attacks in Paris on Friday that killed at least 129 people "a terrible and sickening setback" in the fight against IS.
Mr Obama said most of differences among his political opponents on how to fight IS is about tone not tactics.
"Some of them seem to think that if I were just more bellicose in expressing what we are doing that that would make a difference, because that seems to be the only thing that they're doing, is talking as if they're tough," he said.
His more muted comments were in contrast to those of French President Francois Hollande who said France is "at war".
Although most Republicans have opposed Mr Obama's IS policies, some fellow Democrats are breaking ranks to criticise the president.
"[IS] is not contained. [IS] is expanding," Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein of California told the MSNBC news channel. "They've just put out a video saying it is their intent to attack this country,"
The dynasty has dominated the Congress party which has governed India for most of the years since the country gained independence from British rule in 1947.
The widow of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi would have become India's first Roman Catholic prime minister had she not surprised everyone by turning the post down after her general election success in 2004.
She said her inner voice had dissuaded her from taking the top job, but she remained leader of the Congress party.
However, during the Congress-led rule of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) her profile has increased and many Indians, including opposition parties, see her as a de facto ruler.
Her influence over the party has never been in doubt.
She is widely considered to be the main backer of policies including a more than $2bn (£1.4bn) food-for-work scheme often described as India's New Deal, and a landmark right-to-information law.
However, critics have questioned her political management skills and say she still depends on party managers to take key decisions.
They say that under her curious alliance with technocrat Prime Minister Manmohan Singh crises have been allowed to develop, including the failure to keep Communist allies on side while pushing through a nuclear deal with the US before winning a second general election in 2009.
Before the surprise 2004 election win, Mrs Gandhi's future in Indian politics had looked somewhat uncertain.
After distancing herself from politics following her husband's assassination in 1991, Mrs Gandhi was initially seen as a reluctant and almost reclusive politician.
She officially took charge of the Congress party in 1998 and was elected to parliament in elections in 1999.
Under her leadership, the party turned in its worst performance since independence in the 1999 general elections. Congress also performed indifferently in state elections in 2003.
But the Gandhi name is still revered in India and Congress looked to Mrs Gandhi to translate that feeling into votes.
In 2004, her political opponents attempted to rake up her Italian descent as an election issue, saying the choice for voters was between an Indian or foreign leader.
But their appeal to xenophobia apparently fell on deaf ears.
Long before the election she surrendered her Italian passport in favour of full Indian citizenship.
Sonia herself said in a television interview: "I never felt they look at me as a foreigner. Because I'm not. I am Indian."
Her campaign was boosted by the entry of her son, Rahul, as a candidate. Her daughter Priyanka has also campaigned energetically for her.
Though she turned down the post of prime minister, Sonia is seen to have shed her formerly taciturn manner, routinely working the crowds at political meetings and displaying a more combative approach.
"We have the power and we could teach those anti-social forces a lesson," she told one meeting, alluding to the perpetrators of the deadly Mumbai attacks of November 2008.
"Our patience should not be treated as our weakness... We will not tolerate any act against India."
Sonia Maino was born on 9 December 1946 in the town of Orbassano, near Turin, to a building contractor and his wife.
She was raised in a traditional Roman Catholic household. Her mother and two sisters still live in Orbassano.
In 1964 she went to Cambridge to study English at a language school.
Her life changed forever when she met her future husband, Rajiv Gandhi, who was studying engineering at the university.
The couple married in 1968 and she moved into the house of her mother-in-law and then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
She initially disliked Indian food and clothes and caused controversy when she was photographed wearing a mini skirt.
But she spent the 1970s becoming steeped in Indian culture. Although she has learned Hindi, she is not a fluent speaker of the language.
She no doubt also watched and learned as Indira fought a variety of political battles.
In 1984 Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards in retaliation for her decision to send troops into their holiest shrine, the Golden Temple.
Sonia was propelled into the forefront of the Indian political scene as Rajiv, whose brother Sanjay died in a plane crash in 1980, was picked as the successor to the Gandhi-Nehru crown.
Rajiv became prime minister but seven years later tragedy struck the Gandhi family again.
Sonia's husband was killed by a Tamil suicide bomber during a visit to Madras (Chennai) in 1991.
She and her children, Rahul and Priyanka, were consumed with grief.
Sonia resisted Congress attempts to persuade her to step into Rajiv's shoes and eschewed politics for several years.
Eventually, in 1998, she agreed to become more involved but her initial efforts were overshadowed by Congress's humiliating defeat by the BJP in the 1999 election.
In August 2000 she became a grandmother when Priyanka gave birth to a son.
Earlier that year Sonia had asked a court to grant clemency to a woman who had played a part in the bomb attack that killed her husband.
The bomber, Nalini, had appealed for mercy on the grounds that her seven-year-old daughter would be orphaned if she was hanged.
The court later commuted Nalini's death sentence.
Sonia is a familiar figure in Amethi, her husband's rural parliamentary constituency in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh which her son Rahul now represents.
She herself has represented the neighbouring seat of Rai Bareilly.
She suffered a minor setback in 2006 when she had to surrender her membership of parliament, following allegations that she was violating rules by profiting from a second public post.
She won a by-election later in the year to return to parliament.
But her ascendancy over her party since it won power proves how much Congress still depends on the Gandhi dynasty.
South Africa Under-20s cap Thomson, whose father is Scottish, will provide cover for Finn Russell during his Six Nations participation with Scotland.
Thomson, 21, has played six times in Super Rugby for the Stormers.
Hughes, 23, returns to Glasgow's line-up for Friday's meeting with Scarlets after agreeing his new two-year deal.
And with New Zealander Dave Rennie replacing Warriors' Scotland-bound head coach Gregor Townsend next season, Hughes revealed extending his stay was an "easy decision".
"I'm looking forward to Dave Rennie coming in," Hughes said. "It'll be good to learn from him."
Hughes has played 24 times for the Warriors since 2014, scoring three tries in the process, and has two Scotland caps.
And Townsend added: "Rory is an important member of our squad and it's great that he's decided to continue his career at Scotstoun.
"He's played really well this season and there is a lot more to come from him in the future."
Of Thomson's arrival, Townsend said: "It's a bonus for us to be able to bring in someone of Brandon's quality and potential during a period when we have a number of players away on Test duty.
"He has fitted in really well so far and even training in the snow yesterday didn't seem to phase him."
Thomson added: "I was over in Zimbabwe playing a warm-up game for the Stormers when I got the call to say I could fly over here and it all happened pretty quickly.
"I came over with the main goal of getting some experience and it's good to play in a different environment and for a great club.
"I'm structured, physical and I like to run the ball out wide and keep the game loose." | Middlesbrough's belief in avoiding Premier League relegation has been bolstered by after Wednesday's 1-0 Tees-Wear derby win against Sunderland, says defender Ben Gibson.

The new law requires models to provide medical proof of their weight, and for adverts to state if an image has been altered to make a model appear thinner.
Supporters of the bill believe images of extreme thinness are to blame for eating disorders in young girls.
Critics say the legislation should have focused on health not weight, as some models are naturally very thin.
Models in Israel are now required to have a body mass index (BMI) - a calculation based on a ratio of weight to height - of no less than 18.5.
They will need to have an up-to-date doctor's report certifying their weight when they go for jobs. Publications will have to specify if the image of a model has been manipulated to make them appear thinner.
Around 2% of girls in Israel aged between 14 and 18 have severe eating disorders - a rate similar to other developed countries - anthropologist Sigal Gooldin is quoted by the Associated Press as saying.
Rachel Adato, the Knesset member who pushed for the bill, said she hoped the law would encourage the promotion of a more healthy body image.
"Beautiful is not underweight, beautiful should not be anorexic," she said.
The fashion industry has long been blamed for encouraging anorexia and bulimia among girls of an impressionable age by its use of very thin models on catwalks and in magazines.
Adi Barkan, an Israeli model agent and fashion photographer who helped Ms Adato promote the bill, said action needed to be taken.
"I look (back) 15 to 20 years ago, we shot models (sized) 38. Today it's 24," he said. "This is the difference between thin and too thin. This is the difference between death and life."
But Eli Edri of the Roberto Models Agency told Haaretz newspaper that the BMI index on which the law is based was "arbitrary" and "not appropriate for every model", some of whom are naturally thin and cannot gain weight.
"I know many models who are totally healthy girls who might be disqualified because of the law," he said. "Such a law would disqualify them without determining whether they are really sick or not."
Top Israeli model Adi Neumman has said she would fail to qualify for jobs under the new legislation as she has a BMI of 18.3, even though she eats well and exercises. | The Israeli government has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising and on the catwalk. | 17,450,275 | 532 | 25 | false |
Traditional critics of US foreign policy, like the media in China, Russia and Iran, use the report to accuse Washington of not having the "moral right" to condemn the human rights records of other states.
Some commentators suspect the Democrat administration in the White House of making the revelations public just in order to attack its Republican opponents during whose rule the interrogations took place.
"Perhaps the US government should clean up its own backyard first and respect the rights of other countries to resolve their issues by themselves," suggests China's state-run Xinhua news agency. "America is neither a suitable role model nor a qualified judge on human rights issues in other countries… including China," says the commentary.
Although the story features prominently mainly in the international news sections rather than on the front pages, criticism of CIA actions is outspoken. "The report will be powerful evidence that will totally unveil the ugly human rights face of the US and will serve a heavy blow to its credibility and international image," predicts pro-Beijing Hong Kong paper Ta Kung Pao.
"CIA torture report reveals chilling torture techniques," says a headline in the Peninsula Morning Post.
In Russia, state-run Channel One TV said in its news bulletins that the Senate report "makes people shudder". "This is a real bomb," added a reporter, detainees "were tortured with an inquisitor's ingeniousness".
Some media are suspicious of the White House's true intentions for revealing CIA torture techniques.
"This belated report has finally been released thanks to Obama's support, because of his need to attack his opponents in the Republican Party and thanks to letters by human rights experts at the UN," opines a commentator in Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao.
Russian state-owned news TV channel Rossiya 24 also highlights differences between President Obama's Democrats and their opponents. The TV showed former Republican President George W Bush praising the CIA and saying that if the report diminished the contributions of "patriots", then "it is way off base".
The end result of the senators' work is "a document that fails to assign any blame for the abuse of detainees," quipped a presenter on Russian English-language international broadcaster RT.
Iran's international-facing English-language Press TV also stated in its news bulletins that "despite the report, the US Justice Department says it will not reopen criminal investigation into CIA torture".
"A confrontation between the Obama administration (Democrats) and his critics (Republicans) over making the report public and the danger of its subsequent fallout in other countries has begun," states Iranian daily Vatan-e Emruz.
Iranian media in general use the word "shocking" to describe the findings of the Senate investigation. "Torture, surveillance, shooting - the three pillars of American human rights," reads the front-page caption of Tehran's Hemayat. "It puts a question mark over… American human rights," the paper adds.
Most of the press in other Middle Eastern countries, however, do not comment on the CIA report, preferring instead to focus on the results of the Gulf Co-operation Council summit in Doha.
Praise for what some analysts see as brave step by the White House to reveal torture committed by its intelligence agency can be found mainly in the media of countries that are US allies.
"Obama's admission of guilt is a sign of national greatness," say a commentary in the German daily Bild. "The country that cuts itself loose from these crimes deserves the highest respect. America's conscience has gained a victory," the article declares.
For Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, "the public airing of scandals and errors is one of the basic pillars of democracy". The newspaper argues that this is particularly important in the case of the United States. "The country that sees itself as a moral world power needs such steps to win back the confidence that the Bush administration squandered with this part of its 'war against terror'."
An article on Radio France Internationale's website, however, terms the Senate report "a complicated exercise in democracy", while the French press openly condemns the methods used by the CIA. The United States faces a "dark era" in its history, announces the daily Le Monde. "Lies and torture," adds L'Express in its headline.
In Spain, an editorial in El Pais argues that after the revelations, the US can no longer present itself as "a beacon of freedom".

It will see capacity doubled on two "key" services and allow access to hundreds of additional seats each week.
It comes as first-year passenger numbers on the line between Edinburgh and Tweedbank were confirmed at 1.3m.
Transport Minister Humza Yousaf welcomed the increased capacity which will be available on the line from 12 December.
The number of carriages will be doubled from two to four on two peak-time trains:
It will provide more than 270 extra seats each day and means that all services leaving Tweedbank between 07:00 and 08:00 will have at least three carriages.
The changes also mean four off-peak services every weekday will also gain an extra two carriages, adding a further 2,700 extra seats each week.
A limited number of Class 170 trains are also being introduced on the Borders line which will see a number of services throughout the day having three carriages instead of two.
Mr Yousaf said: "I am pleased that, working closely with ScotRail, extra capacity during the busy peak periods has been identified and secured for 2017.
"This is in addition to our commitment to provide more capacity from late 2018 onwards as a result of our investment into retaining 13 Class 170 trains as part of the Revolution in Rail service enhancements."
Phil Verster, managing director of the ScotRail Alliance, said the route was now "firmly established" as an "attractive and convenient public transport option, with strong demand, particularly at peak times".
"We have responded by making a number of changes to add capacity when it is most needed, providing our customers with more comfortable journeys to and from the capital," he said.
He also confirmed the 1.3m passenger figures for the first 12 months of operation which ScotRail said was "broadly in line with business case projections".
"Projections are just that; assumptions made about how many people are likely to travel at different times of the year," said Mr Verster.
He said they now had a "clearer picture" of what to expect in years to come and would incorporate that into their business planning and marketing.
However, David Spaven of the Borders Rail Monitor Group said: "The big story here is the shocking failure of rail forecasting.
"All three Borders stations have performed massively better than forecast - more than 900% better in the case of Tweedbank, and more than 400% better at both Galashiels and Stow.
"But all four stations in Midlothian (with the exception of Newtongrange) have had substantially fewer passengers than expected."
He said it was encouraging that rail forecasting techniques were being reviewed.
"If we had had robust forecasting five years ago, the Borders stations' forecasts would not have been so ludicrously pessimistic," he said.
Mr Spaven said better forecasting would have made the project's business case "far better" and double tracking would not have been cut back, which could have provided a more reliable service. | ScotRail has revealed its plans to increase capacity on peak-time trains on the Borders Railway. | 38,181,455 | 649 | 24 | false |
The investment, including £10bn on upgrading IT systems and repairing buildings, would be funded by tax increases and capital borrowing.
Jeremy Corbyn blamed the NHS cyber attack on "Tory cuts", promising a service "fit for the modern day".
But the Tories said Labour's "nonsensical" economic plans would mean less money for the NHS.
The NHS is facing one of its toughest-ever financial challenges as it struggles with a growing and ageing population, and there have been warnings about a looming funding gap in years to come.
Mr Corbyn is expected to set out his party's £37bn "new deal" for the NHS in England - to be spent over the course of the next Parliament - at the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) conference.
Labour says the extra money would:
Labour said a "big chunk" of the £10bn infrastructure investment would be spent on upgrading the health service's computers, to ensure no repeat of the cyber-attack that has hit dozens of NHS trusts.
It pointed to a National Audit Office report saying that in February the Department of Health had transferred £950m of its £4.6bn capital projects budget to meet day-to-day revenue costs.
The party said its funding pledges would be paid for by raising income tax for the highest 5% of earners, corporation tax increases, raising tax on private medical insurance and capital borrowing.
Speaking at the RCN conference in Liverpool, Mr Corbyn will claim the NHS will be "unrecognisable" after another five years of Conservative government, saying: "Only Labour will put the NHS back on its feet."
The Conservatives said they were putting an extra £10bn into the NHS, and dismissed Labour's plans.
A Tory spokesman said: "Jeremy Corbyn can't deliver any of this because his nonsensical economic policies would damage our economy and mean less money for the NHS, not more.
"Just look at Wales where Labour cut funding for the NHS."
The health service is devolved to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments, and any new cash for England would need to be reflected in their funding settlements from Westminster.
The Lib Dems recently said they would raise income tax to help fund the NHS and social care.
The party's health spokesman Norman Lamb said: "You cannot solve the crisis in our NHS and social care services by simply imposing more top-down targets on staff and plucking numbers out of thin air.
"The Liberal Democrats are the only party with a fully costed plan to deliver £6bn more per year for the NHS and social care by putting a penny on income tax."
Mr Farron is also expected to address the Royal College of Nursing conference on Monday.
Janet Davies, the college's chief executive and general secretary, urged party leaders to "put patients before politics by committing to the hard cash and staff the NHS needs". | Labour says it will spend an extra £37bn on the NHS in England over the next five years if it wins power. | 39,916,367 | 641 | 28 | false |
Police will have to examine issues such as how long ago a detention under the Mental Health Act occurred, when assessing whether it is disclosed.
The advice covers Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB) checks.
Home Office minister Karen Bradley said the guidelines aim to make the system fairer without lessening protection.
"It is important that checks provide employers with the information they need to protect children and vulnerable groups," she said.
"At the same time, police disclosure of information relating to mental ill health can have a significant impact on the lives of those concerned, including their employment opportunities."
The Home Office said the new guidance, which will be issued on Monday, states that:
Community and social care minister Alistair Burt said the changes will help prevent people being "stigmatised" as they attempt to find work or volunteering opportunities.
He said: "Having a mental illness is not a crime - your medical history wouldn't be flagged to your employer, so it's right that we make the same true for someone who's had a mental health crisis."
Paul Farmer, chief executive of mental health charity Mind, welcomed the move.
He said: "There is no reason why having a mental health problem or having been previously detained under the Mental Health Act should necessarily be a red flag when it comes to DBS checks."

Uncertainty about Washington's role has emboldened both Tehran and Riyadh to pursue more assertive regional policies. But assertiveness is not the same as exercising good judgement and the heightened hostility between Iran and Saudi Arabia threatens to widen many of the Middle East's existing fault lines.
It was the Saudi decision to execute the prominent Shia dissident Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr on Saturday that precipitated this current crisis, underscoring a belief that the Saudi regime is intent on rejecting any conciliatory policy towards Tehran.
The Saudis see Iran as a growing regional threat, committed to stirring up Shia populations in the Gulf states and elsewhere, and to exporting its brand of "revolutionary" Islam.
The Saudis - a little like the Israeli right - regard almost every problem in the region as emanating from Tehran.
For the Iranians, the Saudis are perceived as clamping down on dissident Shia elements both at home and elsewhere in the Gulf, seeking to overthrow Iran's ally in Syria, President Bashar al-Assad, and more generally seeking to deny what they see as Iran's rightful role as a regional power.
Saudi Arabia's refusal to cut oil output, thus keeping world prices low, is a further irritant in relations.
At the third point in this triangle is Washington. President Barack Obama is eager above all to maintain regional stability insofar as it exists at all.
His administration is struggling to influence the Saudis while treading cautiously in its dealings with Iran, for fear of prejudicing the nuclear agreement now entering the initial and delicate implementation phase.
Of course Washington's behaviour influences the other two protagonists, but not in ways that it would like.
The Saudis' current regional paranoia - although Riyadh may arguably have genuine concerns - is to a large extent stoked by the track of US foreign policy over recent years.
It's a tale which begins with the US-led invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, a step many in the Gulf see as "handing" Iraq to Iran on a plate.
Washington's willingness to abandon President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt in the wake of the Arab Spring compounded concerns in Riyadh that the US might be an undependable ally.
The nuclear deal with Iran and the potential for a rapprochement between Washington and Tehran has only made matters worse.
The chances of such a rapprochement - the stuff of Saudi nightmares - are almost certainly grossly exaggerated.
The nuclear deal is still in its infancy and beset by criticism from hardliners in both the US and Iran. The same dissonant voices are likely to ensure that prospects for any broader regional understanding between Iran and the US remain an aspiration rather than a reality.
But just how far might Iran be emboldened by the strains between Washington and Riyadh?
The Obama administration's inability to present a clear policy in the region, or to set out its vital interests - not easy, certainly, amidst all the turmoil - leaves room for misunderstanding by regional players.
This is especially problematic given the US relationship with Saudi Arabia.
Given Riyadh's human rights record and its export of an austere version of Islam that has often blended into support for Sunni extremism, the Saudis are not so much "allies" of Washington as "partners", veteran US diplomat Dennis Ross notes (allies, he adds, "share values and not just interests".)
The immediate goals for US policy are:
Achieving this amid the wider chaos in the region with so many factors out of Washington's control will not be easy. Indeed it may be even more difficult in a US presidential election year when rhetoric outweighs reason.
In his last year in office, Mr Obama and his diplomatic team look set to have their hands full.

The multi-million pound project has been beset with problems and delays.
Planning permission for the sports stadium was overturned in 2014 after objections by local residents.
Last month, the association said it was working on a new design for the stadium. Ulster GAA has now embarked on a 20-week consultation process.
In its first submission, the GAA proposed to build a 38,000-capacity stadium at the existing site.
A whistleblower, safety expert Paul Scott, claimed he was bullied when he raised concerns that under the initial plans the stadium could not be evacuated safely in emergencies.
Tom Daly, chairman of the Casement Park Project Board, told the BBC that safety was a priority for the GAA.
"We will arrive at a point where we put a capacity in for our new stadium going forward. We will have a debate about that again through a consultative process," he said.
"At this point in time we're not going there because we need to get the wide range of views from everybody who has an interest in this project."
He added: "This will be a facility everyone in west Belfast, County Antrim, Ulster and throughout Ireland will be immensely proud of, and a stadium that the next generation of young people can aspire to play in."
Stephen McGeehan, the Casement Park project sponsor for Ulster GAA, said that there was no pre-determined capacity for the stadium.
"Our planning consent was quashed the last time around following the claim taken against the DOE (Department of Environment) minister's decision," he said.
"We're genuinely starting today in a 20-week consultation period, that's well beyond the minimum statutory period of 12 weeks.
"We're doing that because we recognise the time that's required to listen to people's views, have those voices heard both positive and negative and to decide at a later stage what the actual capacity of Casement Park will be."
Mr McGeehan added that the aim was for "a provincial stadium" and there is a requirement for a capacity beyond 18,000 so that it can hold major events.
The GAA will hold a series of consultation events in west Belfast to hear the views of people in the area.
They will take place at Conway Mill, Andersonstown Leisure Centre and Glen Community Complex on 24, 25 and 26 May.
The group found that there are now 38 zones where safety standards for air quality are regularly broken - five more than last year.
The environmental campaigners warned the pollution levels were a "public health crisis".
The Scottish government said it was determined to improve air quality.
A spokeswoman said the government was working to ensure Scotland's first low emission zone was in place next year
The new data found that Scotland's most polluted street was Hope Street in Glasgow, with a number of busy roads in some of the country's largest cities also having high levels of pollution.
One of the most surprising entries on the list is Crieff High Street where levels for particulate matter are above the Scottish target.
Edinburgh's Salamander Street is one of five new pollution zones - or air quality management areas - that were identified in 2016.
The others were in Johnstone and Renfrew in Renfrewshire, and in Linlithgow and Newton in West Lothian.
FoE Scotland claim air pollution causes more than 2,500 early deaths in Scotland each year and the issue should be treated with more urgency by government and councils.

FoE Scotland campaigner Emilia Hanna said it was particularly harmful for small children, pregnant women and people living in poverty.
"For people living in an official pollution zone or near traffic-choked streets, breathing in toxic air is an inescapable fact of life," she said.
"It should not be this way, we have the right to breathe clean air just as we have the right to drink clean water.
"The Scottish government and local authorities are not tackling this public health crisis with the seriousness and urgency required."
She called on the government to provide "significant funding" to councils to support low emission zones and she urged them to introduce measures to cut traffic levels.
The government's "zeal for road building" was worsening the problem, she added.
"Other cities have shown that pollution can be tackled. In Seville, pollution levels were cut in half via the introduction of 80km (50 miles) of segregated cycle routes," she said.
"In London, the mayor has promised to introduce an ultra low emission zone a year ahead of schedule as well as taxing polluting cars via a T-charge. In Paris, the mayor has just announced plans to cut the number of polluting cars in half."

Glasgow resident Jean Nelson, who suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) believes air pollution is affecting her health.
The 59-year-old said: "I live at a junction where the traffic is nose to tail almost every minute of the day, and I feel like I'm choking on fumes on a daily basis.
"Air pollution makes it hard for me to breathe and on bad days, I can barely walk.
"I do not own a car and often have to take the bus from Hope Street. I can see black smoke coming out of the buses and sometimes am forced to take a taxi just to escape the fumes.
"We need less traffic on our roads if air pollution is going to improve."
The Scottish government said it was working with councils and others to ensure Scotland's first low emission zone is established next year.
A spokeswoman added: "Our work on air pollution also includes a range of transport initiatives which are already in place, for example creating one of the most comprehensive electric vehicle charging networks in Europe with more than 1,200 charging bays, an interest free loan scheme to support low emission vehicle ownership, and a £14.5 million Green Bus Fund, which has seen the introduction of 300 low emission buses to the Scottish fleet.
"In addition, our Cleaner Air for Scotland strategy sets out an ambitious programme of action to promote air quality. Scotland is the first country in Europe to adopt in legislation the WHO guideline value for particulate matter 2.5 - a pollutant of special concern for human health."

In 2009, the first great bustard chicks in 177 years hatched in the wild in the UK. Last year, at least four chicks hatched and two native chicks were successfully reared to fledging.
Male great bustards can reach more than 1m tall (40in) with a wingspan of up to 2.4m (7ft 10in).
A University of Bath spokesman said 16 bustards had been fitted with satellite transmitters to track where they feed and roost.
The areas will be monitored for the availability of food, and for predators.
Feeding patches with the right plants and seeds to provide food and attract the type of insects the birds eat will also be cultivated.
David Waters, founder and director of the Great Bustard Group, said: "Despite our successes over the last six years, we would sometimes struggle to find £10 or £20 to put diesel in the Land Rover; now we have a chance to give this project real wings.
"The funding will provide a properly resourced project, with four new posts, new monitoring equipment and even the possibility of a second release site."
The project's partners will still have to find 25% of the costs.
Bath PhD student John Burnside said: "We're particularly interested in how the birds will behave in their new habitat.
"Great bustards learn a lot of their behaviour from each other and so the newly introduced chicks have to learn quickly how to feed, survive and avoid predators without the help of their mother.
"As the population becomes established, their survival chances should hopefully get better - this project will be looking into ways of improving release methods and the survival of the birds in the long term."
Crooks joined in February after his release from Hartlepool and scored his second goal of the season in the 1-1 draw at Notts County.
The 21-year-old, who spent time on loan at Stanley before his move, has also played has also played as a defender and a striker at the club.
"I thought he had a smashing game," Coleman told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"There are just a couple of things he could iron out of his game and he'd be a millionaire, because there are millionaires who haven't got his talent or his physique.
"I'd like to see people like that get rewarded."
The former X Factor judge, 25, and her sister, Elena, were both asleep upstairs when two men broke into the house in a targeted attack.
During the call she told the operator: "Oh my God I don't have a knife, I know they're going to come upstairs."
Charaf Elmoudden, 26, denies a charge of burglary on November 28 last year.
Elena woke up at about 05:50 GMT to find a man rifling through her bedroom before her sister phoned the police, Harrow Crown Court was told.
Rita Ora, who gave evidence from behind a curtain, said she was woken by a scream and heard her sister running up the stairs.
"She just ran up the stairs then she jumped on my bed and started screaming," she said.
Rita Ora can be heard swearing and making threats on the 999 call after locking herself in her room with her sister.
She later asked the operator: "What do you want me to do now? I will kill him."
The singer, who gave evidence from behind a curtain, broke down in tears after the recording was played.
She said: "That phone call freaked me out a bit - give me a moment."
Mr Elmoudden and an accomplice allegedly made off with jewellery, iPhones, Apple Mac computers, bags and clothes from the singer's four-bedroom property in north-west London.
Elena described being "overwhelmed with fear" when she saw the intruder.
"At one point he was an arm's length away which was really scary because it means he was looking at me directly while I was asleep," she said
The thief grabbed a jewellery box and "whatever else he could" before dashing out of the house, Elena said.
Prosecutor Mark Kinsey said her house was deliberately chosen by the thieves because they knew she lived there.
Mr Elmoudden, of Sydney Road, Muswell Hill, north London, appeared in the dock wearing jeans and a white shirt.
He told police when he was arrested: "I haven't done anything wrong, you can cell site my phone."
He claims he was at home with his partner at the time of the burglary.
Elena Ora picked him out in an identity parade on 15 January.
"I wouldn't forget that face ever," she said.
The trial continues.

As a game it served as a microcosm of England's improvements under Eddie Jones; be it the response to adversity, the dominant set-piece, or the clinical way they finished off their four tries.
But after 15 minutes, England's dreams of completing the perfect 2016 looked to be going up in smoke as Australia tore Jones' side to shreds.
So how were they able to respond to the Wallaby blitz, and what has set England apart this year?
"England were terrible in the first 20 minutes," former England fly-half Paul Grayson told BBC Radio 5 live.
"But when they were hanging on by their fingernails, they found a way not to concede.
"England have found a way to use setbacks as a springboard to recovery - and ultimately they managed to shift the momentum of the game.
"In this game it came through the accuracy of Ben Youngs' box-kicking, the effectiveness of their chase, and the intensity of their midfield press, which ultimately led to the Jonathan Joseph try which completely altered the course of the game."
Since the halcyon days of Martin Johnson and Jonny Wilkinson, England have lacked a crop of 'World XV' players, as evidenced by the paucity of Englishmen to have excelled in a Lions Test shirt on the past two tours.
Indeed, Jones spoke this autumn about how England have yet to develop a world-class player since Wilkinson, although in the aftermath of the autumn he admits some of his men are nearing that status.
"I think we are getting there. Ben Youngs put down a marker to go on the Lions tour," Jones told BBC Radio 5 live. "George Ford was outstanding again today, and Mako Vunipola is a great player."
Youngs has arguably been England's player of the autumn, with his brilliant individual try sealing the win over the Wallabies.
"He's been incredible this season," World Cup winning scrum-half Matt Dawson told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He's grown as a rugby player and a person and has developed his game incredibly well. To keep improving week in, week out is a real credit to him."
England had few players dominating a Lions Test series in 2009 and 2013 - that will surely change in New Zealand next summer.
Before the autumn, England were beset by injuries to key players, with Grand Slam winners Maro Itoje, George Kruis, James Haskell, Anthony Watson and Jack Nowell among those to be ruled out.
But, in their absence, the likes of Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes, Tom Wood and Jonny May have excelled, while Nathan Hughes replaced Billy Vunipola against Australia and made a significant impact in the second half.
"For England to be competitive at the World Cup in 2019 they don't need 15 players, they need 36 players," Dawson added.
"That is in the forefront of Eddie Jones and his management's mind."
Jones also hailed the performance of Hughes, who after a nervous opening grew into his first Test start.
"That was a massive game for him today - by far the biggest game he has every played in - and I thought he acquitted himself very well," Jones said.
"During the warm-up he couldn't catch a ball, if you gave him £1,000 he couldn't catch it. He was nervous and to play like that is a real testament to his character.
"It doesn't get much bigger than this, and the way he was able to fight through his nerves was outstanding. Goodness me, we have two good number eights, don't we?"
As England arrived at Twickenham on Sunday, Itoje, 21, made his Saracens return from a fractured hand that has ruled him out since October.
But, England's impressive performances have ensured Jones has not missed World Rugby's breakthrough player of the year.
"Who has mentioned Itoje [this autumn]?" asked Dawson.
"In four games we haven't mentioned him once, and that shows the quality in this side and the strength in depth."
Having equalled their winning record of 14 successive victories, England can pass it on the opening day of the 2017 Six Nations when they face France at Twickenham on 4 February.
With further home games against Italy and Scotland - as well as a fixture in Cardiff against a stuttering Wales - England may well go to Dublin on the final weekend with a second Grand Slam in as many years in their sights.
"We are not looking at records, just the next game. But we can draw a line under this year with a good victory against a quality side," skipper Dylan Hartley said on BBC Radio 5 live.
"I'm very proud of the guys over the last few weeks, and it's nice to go back to our clubs knowing we have done English rugby and the shirt proud.
"We leave it in a good place until the Six Nations."
The six-part adaptation, also written by Catton, is a Victorian mystery tale set during the New Zealand gold rush.
The New Zealand author became the youngest ever winner of the Man Booker Prize - aged 28 - when The Luminaries won in 2013.
The 832-page book was also the longest work to win in the prize's history.
The judges described it as a "Kiwi Twin Peaks".
Catton, who was born in Canada, said she felt "absurdly lucky" to be working on the project.
"Learning to write for television has been a bit like learning a new musical instrument: The melody is more or less the same, but absolutely everything else is different," she said.
"I'm having enormous fun, learning every day, and just so excited to see the world of the novel created in the flesh."
The six hour-long episodes will be produced by Working Title Television for BBC Two.
Filming will begin in 2017 and taking place in and around New Zealand.

He climbed a ramp overlooking the Rio Grande that separates the city and El Paso, Texas, and laid flowers on a cross erected in memory of migrants who died trying to cross to the other side.
Earlier, he met inmates in the jail of Ciudad Juarez that was once one of the most violent cities in Mexico.
The events concluded his five-day trip.
"We cannot deny the humanitarian crisis which in recent years has meant the migration of thousands of people," the pontiff told some 300,000 people who attended the open-air Mass.
On the US side, tens of thousands watched the event on a giant screen.
"Each step, a journey laden with injustices; the enslaved, the imprisoned and extorted; so many of these brothers and sisters of ours are the consequence of trafficking in human beings," Pope Francis said.
Earlier on Wednesday, the pontiff visited the Cereso jail, a mixed prison which houses about 700 inmates, 250 of them women.
This trip to Ciudad Juarez was the culmination of a trip focused on meeting people on the margins.
He criticised the prison system while praying with inmates, he told the church hierarchy to leave their churches and be with their people and he urged political leaders to make Mexico a better place.
But there's one issue that is especially close to the pontiff's heart - as a Latin American and the son of immigrants, migration is a theme the Pope is keen to address.
Celebrating mass on the border with the United States went beyond Catholicism and went beyond the personal - it was a bold political move at a time when immigration is such a hotly-debated topic north of the border.
His visit was seen as a chance to give hope to the city's residents, who lived through a spate of murders and rampant drug violence which meant few dared leave their homes at night.
"The problem of security is not resolved only by incarcerating; rather, it calls us to intervene by confronting the structural and cultural causes of insecurity that impact the entire social framework," Francis told the inmates.
Pope tells young Mexicans to 'dare to dream'
The pontiff's visit came just days after 49 prisoners died in a fight between rival gang members at the Topo Chico jail in the north-eastern city of Monterrey.
Mexican prisons are notoriously overcrowded and corrupt and the meeting between inmates and the pontiff is expected to draw further attention to these problems.
Pope Francis has repeatedly called on the country's leaders to make it a better place for people to live.
On Tuesday, he told young Mexicans in the violence-hit state of Michoacan "to dare to dream".
He urged them to reject a life of crime and to "feel your value".
Sheen was just a kitten when he disappeared in Bothwell, South Lanarkshire, the week before Christmas in 2012.
Now, after the persistent detective work of Kirsty Adderton who found the stray on her doorstep, the "gobsmacked but thankful" owner has been traced.
Sheen was in Renfrew, more than 30 miles away from where he vanished.
His owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, told the BBC Scotland news website: "I was not thinking of getting a cat in the first place, but I saw one in a litter that was different - scrambling to get out - and I thought 'that is the cat for me'.
"Sheen started to be allowed out, but one day could not be found.
"I searched for about three months - lost and found sites, drove around, chapped every door.
"I feared he had been catnapped, or hit by traffic, or caught by a fox.
"I had given up. Then, randomly, I got a letter with Kirsty's number."
Ms Adderton said: "I spotted a gorgeous black and white cat on my doorstep about four weeks ago.
"The cat was crying at my door and clearly looked unkempt. At first I did not want to feed him, just in case he had a home and was being greedy. Also my cats were chasing him away from the garden.
"One day, it was chucking with rain and I saw him sitting in my garden, trying to get cover. Feeling sorry for him, I gave him some cat biscuits.
"He then started turning up roughly about the same time every day and crying. I fed him and made some shelter for him in my garage."
She explained: "I decided to take him to my local vets. They found out he was chipped which I was delighted about.
"From the details they had taken from his chip, they told me his name was Sheen and he was a long way from home.
"They could not provide me with the owner's details because of data protection but told me they would be in touch if someone got back to them about the cat.
"Over the coming days I called the vets to see if anyone had got back in touch but they hadn't."
She added: "I then decided to take it upon myself to find his home. He was just so adorable and friendly that I was convinced someone must be missing him.
"I repeatedly posted messages on Facebook. I also checked on all the lost and found sites.
"I printed out 50 posters of him, giving my contact details to get in touch, before walking around my neighbourhood plastering them on lampposts. I even posted posters through doors.
"Looking up vets, I found there were 81 that covered the area, so I spent a day-and-a-half calling every one of them, giving them a description of the cat and his chip number to see if he was registered with them."
Ms Adderton concluded: "Finally, I got a call from this bloke out of the blue saying he had received a letter that a cat had been found and it was registered to his address.
"The numbers matched and I told him 'well, I've got your cat'. He had moved.
"He was so delighted. I am just so over the moon that he is back home safe.
"It is such a shame animals can't talk because he would have some story to tell us about his adventures over the last two years to arrive at my door."
Sheen's owner said: "I was gobsmacked, speechless - but very thankful.
"It looks like he's been roughing it.
"I cannot believe my cat of two years ago is back. I feel heartbroken for him. He will be a well-pampered house cat from now on.
"As for Kirsty's efforts, it just goes to show you there are kind people out there."
Scam artists offer cheap flats for rental, demanding instant deposits. But they do not actually own the homes - and would-be tenants' cash is lost.
Reports of rental fraud in England and Wales leapt from 2,216 in 2014 to 3,193 in 2015.
BBC researchers posed as tenants to expose tricks used by fake landlords.
More news on this and other stories from London
One advert fraudsters attempted to place on the flat-sharing website EasyRoomMate offered a plush Kensington apartment for just £700 per month, far below the market rate.
Atta Nasim, of Milestone Estate Agents in north-west London, called the price "crazy", adding that you would not get a garage for that price in the area.
When contacted, a woman posing as the owner and calling herself 'Luise' tried to convince a BBC researcher to wire over £1,400 to a branch of The Coventry Building Society to secure the flat right away.
Land Registry documents show she is not the legal owner of a property there and when researchers visited the mansion block it was to find all the flats inhabited. The BBC also confirmed with the owners a 'Luise' was not associated with the property.
In an attempt to convince the BBC of the veracity of her offer, the fraudster emailed both a contract and a passport image in the name of a German lady.
The BBC has since established the fraudster has stolen the identity of a real German woman.
A second fraudster, calling himself Gary, offered a handsome red-brick period flat in Willesden on the same website for well below the market rate, urging the BBC's researcher to wire £1,500 to a Halifax account.
In reality, the property was home to Italian students. The managing agents knew nothing of 'Gary'.
'Gary' claimed to be based in London - but a BBC analysis of his IP address showed he was in fact communicating from a computer in Lagos, Nigeria.
Confronted with his lies by telephone, 'Gary' replied: "I don't know about that. You think this is a fraud? There is no fraud my friend."
When accused of taking part in a crime, 'Luise' put the phone down. The BBC's technical analysis showed she was in the UK.
The BBC has made the Coventry Building Society and the Halifax aware of the fraudulently-used accounts.
A Halifax spokesman said: "We are currently investigating the matter you have raised with us and will take the necessary action we deem appropriate pending the outcome of this investigation."
Student Nikola Poncet, a victim of the crime, lives in a small bedsit in Luton. He was ripped off by a fraudster with a bogus advert offering a flat in Queen's Park, west London, and lost £600.
Mr Poncet said: "I was willing to take the flat without a viewing based on the location, just on the price of it.
"[I felt] anger, disgust, I was really disappointed.
"I was thinking, 'Wow I've spent money I couldn't afford and what's happening to me right now? I'm in a nightmare and I can't wake up'.'"
The figures showing a rise in rental fraud were from Action Fraud, which collates national fraud statistics for City of London Police.
A spokeswoman for Action Fraud said it was working to stop those fraudulently advertising properties.
She continued: "We work with property adverting websites to ensure that they are able to recognise fraudulent advertisers."
EasyRoomMate, one of the largest flat-sharing websites in the UK, filters adverts before they go live.
It blocks 5% of the 1,000 adverts placed on its UK site each week because they are suspected to be fraudulent. But a further 1.5% that slip through the net are taken down after publication.
Albin Serviant, CEO of EasyRoomMate, which assisted the BBC in identifying the two fraudsters, said of the criminals: "They are very experienced, they are very sophisticated and they are also adapting very fast.
"They are very creative so we need to make sure the team are experienced enough to cope with these kinds of issues."
The adverts the BBC investigated were not allowed to go live by EasyRoomMate. Websites including Gumtree, Air BnB and Spare Room have also been targeted by rental fraudsters.
But for Mr Poncet, warnings come too late. He added: "I've got to start all over again."
But the regulator also said it would "not be appropriate" to add the Green Party to its "major parties" list.
The Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems remain on the list, alongside the SNP in Scotland, Plaid Cymru in Wales and five parties from Northern Ireland.
Party broadcasts on the BBC are regulated separately by the BBC Trust.
The tradition of allowing free airtime for party election broadcasts is seen as a substitute for paid political advertising on TV and radio, which is banned in the UK.
Ofcom's statement, which will apply to outlets including ITV, Channel 4 and Talksport, follows a consultation into which parties had the "significant levels of support" required to get at least two broadcasts.
Other parties who are standing in at least a sixth of all seats are entitled to at least one broadcast.
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said she was "deeply disappointed" by the draft Ofcom ruling when it was published for consultation in January.
The regulator said it based its final decision, which is in line with the draft proposals, on consultation responses, "evidence of electoral performance" and polling trends.
The Green Party recently said it had more members than UKIP, but Ofcom said party membership was less "robust" as an indicator because it only relates to a small proportion of the total electorate.
UKIP chairman, Steve Crowther said the ruling was "simply a recognition of what everybody knows" given UKIP's recent electoral performances.
Knox, 31, closed with a two-under 68 to beat Jerry Kelly by one shot.
Daniel Berger went into the final round as leader but carded a four-over-par 74 to end tied for fifth with Furyk, Robert Garrigus and Tyrone van Aswegen.
American Furyk, 46, carded 10 birdies and an eagle in his bogey-free round of 12 under par to finish on 11 under.
Knox, who also won in Shanghai in November 2015, becomes the fifth player to have multiple wins in the 2015-16 PGA Tour season.
The others are the current top three players in the world - Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth - and world number eight Adam Scott.
The victory lifts the Scot into contention for at least a wildcard place in the European Ryder Cup team for the biennial tournament against the United States, which takes place at the end of September.
"It's been an incredible year for me," said Knox.
"I keep believing in myself, I tell myself every day that I'm good enough to be up there and win tournaments. It's been an enjoyable ride."
Set to move inside the top 20 in the world rankings, he added that winning this tournament would make it difficult for European captain Darren Clarke "not to pick me".
Furyk, who was already one of only six men to have recorded a score of 59 for 18 holes, said: "A million and a half rounds played in the history of the PGA Tour and you look at the great names ahead of me.
"It's humbling. To stand alone at 58 is really a cool accomplishment."
Hike4Hopey is in memory of Lee Hope who died last year aged 33 after a 13-week battle with bowel cancer.
Ten walkers will start their challenge after two of Sir Bobby's clubs, Ipswich Town and Newcastle United, face each other in the Championship.
Scott Hope, Lee's brother, said he would think they were all "crackers".
Starting at the statue of Sir Bobby at Portman Road, Ipswich, the hike ends at his statue at St James' Park in Newcastle.
Mr Scott, from North Shields, said training over the past seven months had been difficult.
"In Lee's last days we discussed the chances of doing something in his memory and his immediate choice was the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
"It's felt important to do something positive and this has given us something to focus on.
"We can't wait to get going but we're mainly looking forward to the last day when we'll be joined by lots more friends and supporters for the final leg."
Lee, a Newcastle United fan, moved to Guernsey in 2010 where he lived with his wife Amy and daughter Livia.
Scott, who works for Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, said the walkers would be staying at fire stations along the route.
The group has 12 days to complete the challenge, walking about 28 miles (45km) each day.
Scott said of his brother: "He'd think we were crackers... but I think he'd be very, very proud."
Hike4Hopey has so far raised more than £11,500 for the the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
The foundation was established in 2008 while the former Newcastle, Ipswich and England manager was receiving treatment for cancer. He died the following year.
To date it has raised £10m.
Boss Francesco Guidolin has picked the team to face the Canaries, despite missing Saturday's game as he recovers from a chest infection in hospital.
Curtis, who led the side at Arsenal in Guidolin's absence, revealed there will be changes to the Swans' starting team.
"Francesco has picked the team but once the game starts I have the power to change things," Curtis explained.
"The substitutions certainly will be my responsibility.
"He (Guidolin) is staying (in hospital) over the weekend and I think he may be out on Monday.
Curtis, who said he will speak to Guidolin before Saturday's match, admitted difficult decisions had to be made about selection after six changes were previously made for the win at Arsenal.
"Everybody performed exceptionally well, especially in the second half (at Arsenal)," Curtis added to BBC Wales Sport.
"It's a great problem for us to have and that has been reflected in tomorrow's selection as well.
"There will obviously be changes. The most important thing is we win the game."
Following the win over the Gunners, Swansea face three crucial matches in their battle against relegation from the Premier League, all against teams in the bottom six.
After hosting Norwich, the Swans face Bournemouth away and then bottom club Aston Villa at home.
Wednesday's victory moved Swansea six points above the relegation zone in 16th place.
"We've got a little bit of a gap and breathing space (from the relegation zone) but that could be closed quickly if results go against us," Curtis continued.
"We're concentrating on picking up the three points and steadily getting away from the crowd at the bottom."
Wallace, 27, has jumped 1,500 places in the world rankings in the past 20 months and takes part in his first major on Thursday - five years after turning professional.
"I've always wanted to play in a major and to do it in this style... it's been a rapid rise," Wallace told BBC Sport.
"I'm really looking forward to it. US Open... it's crazy."
Before turning professional in 2012, Wallace worked in a clothes shop and did not play golf seriously until he was 18.
"From 18, my head was on the wrong way, I worked for Hollister and was out partying all the time," he told the Guardian.
"I changed that when I was 20 when I had this thought of: 'What am I going to do when I'm 30? I have nothing'."
Wallace, who lives with his parents in Middlesex, has certainly made up for lost time.
He has won seven titles in the past 15 months - six on the Alps circuit, one of the feeders for the European Tour.
In addition, he led from start to finish to win the Portugal Open - his first European Tour title - last month when ranked 242 in the world. He starts in Wisconsin having moved up to 141st.
"I'm still at home with mum and dad, but I'm never there as I'm always travelling," he told the Daily Telegraph.
"When I get a break I'll look at getting my own place, but for now I'm just loving the ride and they have been so important to me.
"Dad played rugby for Wasps in the seventies and they are both PE teachers and are very sporty and know what I'm striving for.
"They are coming to Erin Hills with me and my girlfriend, Chelsie, and it'll be wonderful to be there with them, to highlight how far I've come."
Wallace has received plenty of advice as he prepares to tackle Erin Hills alongside the world's best.
At nearly 8,000 yards, the 11-year-old links-style layout will be the longest course in the championship's history.
"As a golfer you have to adapt to your surroundings and conditions," he added. "It's going to be long, it's going to be tricky in areas.
"I've had some great advice from players who have played in the US Open and they said you have to try and stay as calm as possible and grind it out as well as you can."
On how far he has come in a short space of time, Wallace said: "It's come fast but at the end of the day it's just golf.
"I try and dumb it down as much as possible and head out there and try and do my thing."
The Department for Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) awarded Féile an Phobail a total of £550,000, through a 'cultural programme' fund.
Some of that cash was then distributed by the festival to other arts groups.
Some MLAs and arts workers have raised concerns about what they have said is a lack of transparency in the process.
But the Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín said all of the money had been subject to extensive "due diligence."
Féile an Phobail, also known as the West Belfast Festival, is the biggest festival in Northern Ireland.
The 'cultural programme' fund was set up in 2013 by DCAL to provide money for organisations to run events alongside the World Police and Fire Games that took place in Belfast.
Féile an Phobail was given £254,000, while two other organisations also got money.
In 2014, DCAL ran another 'cultural programme', giving £350,000 directly to Féile an Phobail, with £200,000 of that for the festival.
The remainder was distributed by Féile an Phobail to five other organisations.
This year, the festival received another £200,000 from DCAL's latest cultural programme.
That was split, with £90,000 for the festival to use and £110,000 distributed to seven other organisations.
DCAL would not comment when asked if the application process for the funding given to Féile an Phobail had been openly advertised and whether any organisation could apply for it.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Féile an Phobail.
In a statement, it said it had been given the money to provide "access to the arts in some of the most 'at need' [and] disadvantaged communities in Belfast."
It said it was then "tasked with further expanding the project with an assembled team of cultural partners", enabling them to deliver the arts to "the heart of a diverse range of communities".
Adam Turkington, who runs a number of arts organisations in Belfast, said "nobody knows what the process is" for obtaining the money given to Féile an Phobail.
He added that he felt Ms Ní Chuilín had a "personal agenda" over how some arts groups were funded.
Belfast writer Glenn Patterson said there would be a "great deal of justifiable anger" over the circumstances of the funding at a time of cuts to other arts organisations.
Earlier this month, 32 of Northern Ireland's biggest arts groups were told their public funding would be cut by 7%.
"There are people who are losing their jobs, there are organisations that are going to the wall," Mr Patterson said.
He added that allocation of the money to Féile an Phobail to then allocate to other groups "it seems at the minister's behest" would "take a lot of people by surprise".
Democratic Unionist Party MLA Nelson McCausland, the chair of the Northern Ireland Assembly's culture committee, said the money should not have been handed out to one organisation "in this secret manner".
"If you had money to spend within the department you could potentially hand it out through the Arts Council," he said.
"Alternatively, if it's to be handled by the department, they should have created a specific programme with application forms, criteria, advertisements, accessibility.
"Most people I've spoken to right across the arts world in Northern Ireland have said: 'We knew nothing about this.'"
Ms Ní Chuilín said Mr McCausland's comments were "quite disgraceful".
She said Féile an Phobail had provided a "business case, they've done evaluation, they've been through more due diligence and scrutiny than any other funded body".
"We need to create a fund where people see festivals as a way of generating the economy," she added.
The jab protects against human papillomavirus, which increases the risk of oral, anal and penile cancers.
It has been offered to school-age girls, to protect them from cervical cancer, since 2008.
However, there have been repeated calls for the vaccine to be given to all boys as well.
In November 2015, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) - which advises all UK governments - called for the HPV jab to be offered to gay men up to the age of 45.
The JCVI said there would also be a "substantial benefit" in reducing the number of genital warts.
Health minister Jane Ellison announced: "Through this pilot, the HPV vaccine will be offered during existing appointments at selected GUM (sexual health) and HIV clinics in England to test delivery in these settings.
"Public Health England is in the process of agreeing which GUM and HIV clinics will take part in the pilot.
"A full roll-out of a HPV vaccination programme for men who have sex with men will be dependent on the progress and outcome of the pilot."

Dr Shaun Griffin, from the Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "The announcement of this pilot feels like a cynical stalling tactic.
"Back in November, the government said that all MSM up to the age of 45 would be able to access the HPV vaccine across the country - now, six months later, we are disappointed to see this has been scaled down to a small-scale and unnecessary pilot."
Peter Baker, from the charity HPV Action, said: "The extension of the HPV vaccination programme to protect men has been characterised by delay after delay.
"The best way of protecting men who have sex with men, as well as all other men, is to vaccinate all adolescent boys.
"It is vital that a decision on this issue is made soon because, with every year that passes, almost 400,000 more boys are left unprotected."

Conservative Matthew Grove defeated the Labour veteran in the battle for the Humberside Police role.
The vote went to a second round of counting with Mr Grove getting 42,164 votes and Lord Prescott 39,933.
Mr Grove said Lord Prescott was an "utter gentleman".
Both candidates had failed to get 50% of first preference votes.
Lord Prescott secured 33,282 votes, the most in the first round, with Mr Grove polling 29,440 votes.
The turnout in the election was 133,762 (19.15% of the electorate)
Speaking after the result had been declared, Lord Prescott said: "I said at the beginning, this a Tory marginal seat. It's not a safe Labour seat. It's not even a Labour seat."
Asked if he will be putting himself up for election again, he said: "I've always been in public service rather than anywhere else. And I don't think I'll be standing for election, no.
"But this was one occasion where you were required to have lived in the actual constituency, I was one of the constituency, I always wanted to make service so I put my name forward and you have the results today.
"I nearly got it, didn't I?
"It would have been nice but it wasn't so. The people have spoken."
"It's nothing to be defeated in a democracy, is it?"
He laughed when asked if his wife, Pauline, wanted him to retire.
Mr Grove paid tribute to Lord Prescott, saying: "I've enjoyed his company, and it's with slight sadness I feel I've beaten him.
"In some ways he's given such long and dedicated service to this area, it's a shame I had to beat him, but it had to be done."
The new PCCs, who are set to replace police authorities, will set spending plans and have the power to "hire and fire" chief constables.
The Humberside police commissioner will receive a salary of £70,000.
The East Riding of Yorkshire council area saw the highest turnout in the region with 23.19%, while 15.65% of the electorate voted in Kingston upon Hull.
The other candidates vying for the Humberside police post were Godfrey Bloom of UKIP, Simone Butterworth from the Liberal Democrats, and independents Paul Davison, Neil Eyre and Walter Sweeney.
Turnout does not include spoiled ballots
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he had informed his US counterpart Hillary Clinton of Moscow's decision.
"We will bar entry to Americans who are in fact guilty of human rights violations," he said.
The US bill, adopted by Congress on Thursday, normalises trade with Russia, but blacklists Russian rights abusers.
The legislation passed by large majorities in the House and Senate, and President Barack Obama is expected to sign it into law.
Under the bill, the US would withhold visas and freeze financial assets of Russian officials thought to have been involved with human rights violations.
The Russian foreign ministry called the bill "a performance in the theatre of the absurd".
It warned that the measure would have a "very negative impact on the prospects for bilateral co-operation".
"It's strange and wild to hear such claims about human rights addressed to us by politicians of the very state where in the 21st Century torture and the kidnapping of people all over the world were officially legalised," the ministry said.
Mr Lavrov announced Moscow's retaliation following talks on the Syria conflict with Mrs Clinton and special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi in Dublin on Thursday.
The US trade measure eliminates a long-obsolete 1974 provision, called the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, that tied trade relations with the former Soviet Union to the emigration of Jews and other Soviet minorities.
Russia joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in August, and must open its market and reduce tariffs under the terms of its membership.
With the old trade restrictions in place, the US was the only WTO member that could not take advantage of Russia's market reform.
However, lingering congressional anger about human rights abuses and anti-American policies helped attach the Magnitsky Act to the larger trade bill.
The measure is named after Russian lawyer and whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky, who died in a Russian prison three years ago after allegedly being tortured.
Under the Magnitsky sanctions, the US must release a list of Russian officials thought to have been involved with human rights violations, and deny them visas and freeze their assets.
Leading Russian opposition blogger Alexei Navalny, who has long campaigned for transparency, welcomed the proposed US blacklist as a piece of "pro-Russian" legislation.
"Our foreign ministry has called this 'a performance in the theatre of the absurd'," he wrote on his blog.
"To use another metaphor, I'd call this kind of behaviour by our ministry and officials, who are in horror of these sanctions, 'a fire in a brothel'.
"The Magnitsky Act is totally pro-Russian. It aims to punish the scum who stole 5.4bn roubles [£108m; $175m] from Russian taxpayers, transferred the money abroad and then tortured and killed a Russian citizen..."
"It's a shame and an outrage that the USA imposes sanctions on these bandits and butchers, while Russia hides and protects them," the Russian blogger added.
Mbappe, 18, was left out of the squad amid transfer speculation linking him with a move to rivals Paris St-Germain.
Falcao struck a 78th-minute winner after latching onto Rachid Ghezzal's chip over the home defence.
After finishing last season with 12 successive wins, Monaco have started this campaign by beating Toulouse, Dijon and now Metz.
Colombia striker Falcao's winner saw Monaco pass Bordeaux's tally of 14 wins in a row in 2009.
Mbappe, who has also been linked to Real Madrid and Manchester City, was left out of the squad by manager Leonardo Jardim, who said he was "protecting" the player.
The France forward burst on to the scene last season, scoring 26 goals in all competitions during his first full season as Monaco won the French title for the first time in 17 years and reached the Champions League semi-finals.

Traditionally, Christians would eat pancakes on the last day before Lent begins, to use up foods like eggs and milk, before starting 40 days of fasting for lent.
Now, Pancake Day is celebrated by people all over the world, and some people even hold pancake-flipping competitions.
If you want to join in, you could try this basic pancake recipe, adapted from celeb chef Delia Smith, to make enough mixture for 12-14 pancakes. Yum!
But don't forget to ask your mum and dad to help!
Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.
Make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it.
Begin whisking the eggs.
Gradually add small quantities of the milk and water mixture, still whisking.
Whisk until all the liquid has been added and the batter has the consistency of thin cream.
Melt the butter in a pan.
Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in. Use the rest of the butter to grease the frying pan before you make each pancake.
Get the pan really hot, then turn the heat down to medium - be really careful doing this bit. You might want to get your mum and dad to help at this point!
Ladle 2 tbsp of the batter into the hot pan all in one go.
Tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter.
After about half a minute, and when the bottom is golden in colour, flip the pancake over.
The other side will only need a few seconds to cook.
Slide the pancake out of the pan onto a plate.
To serve, sprinkle each pancake with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar.
Enjoy!
Catherine Burns, a widow from the village of Clonoe near Coalisland, was murdered in 1832 after arriving in Philadelphia to start a new life.
Her remains have been returned to Northern Ireland and she will be buried in her native County Tyrone on Sunday.
The wake in the Washingbay Centre in Clonoe, welcomes Catherine back with music, dance and song.
"The people of the village have really connected with Catherine and there has been huge interest from parishioners in her story and the story of Irish emigrants," said parish priest, Fr Benny Fee.
He added that during the wake, historian Damian Woods would speak about that period in Irish history and the background to Catherine and other emigrants' stories.
"There will be Irish dancing and local singer Oliver Robinson will perform the Christy Moore song Duffy's Cut which was written about the railroad workers.
"There will be a Requiem Mass for Catherine on 19 July at 12:30 BST at St Patrick's Church in Clonoe and everyone is welcome to attend," added Fr Fee.
Along with 56 other immigrants from counties Donegal, Tyrone, and Londonderry, Catherine had been hired by fellow Irishman Philip Duffy to build a stretch of railway between Philadelphia and Columbia.
The stretch, which was part of America's pioneering Pennsylvania railroad, is now known as Duffy's Cut.
Within six weeks of arriving in Philadelphia, all 57 workers were dead.
Most were buried anonymously in a mass grave near the shanty town where they lived and worked, but Catherine was among several workers buried separately.
Officials with the Philadelphia and Columbia railroad never notified the immigrants' families of their deaths.
It is thought some died from cholera, while others were murdered by local people who believed the immigrants were spreading the disease.
The story of Catherine Burns highlights the plight of many Irish emigrants who sailed to America. Some were able to make a new life for themselves and their families, but not everyone found that the streets were paved with gold.
After the death of her husband, Catherine, her father-in-law John Burns, and 68 other people from County Tyrone left Ireland on board the ship John Stamp, all hoping for a better life in the new world.
"Catherine's story of hopes dashed and dreams shattered is not unique," said Fr Fee.
"In honouring her homecoming, we are honouring countless other exiles who sailed out of Ireland in the hope of a new life, but who did not find the streets paved with gold."
This is the second repatriation of remains found at Duffy's Cut, now a wooded area behind suburban homes in the borough of Malvern, about 20 miles west of Philadelphia.
In 2013, 18-year-old John Ruddy was reburied at Ardara, County Donegal.
Researchers identified Ruddy from railroad archives, his small bone size and a congenital missing molar that relatives said runs in the family.
The remaining bones that were exhumed, including Burns' (whose remains were discovered five years ago, but could not be fully identified), were interred at West Laurel Hill cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, in 2012.
However, the discovery of further bones, and the fact that Catherine was one of the few female passengers on the John Stamp, led to a positive identification and subsequent repatriation.
Investigation into what happened to the 57 Irish workers began in 2002, when Malvern's Immaculata University professor Bill Watson, his twin brother Frank, a Lutheran minister, and fellow Immaculata professor Earl Schandelmeier, began the Duffy's Cut archival and research project.
Bill, Frank and Earl accompanied Catherine on her journey home to County Tyrone and will attend the wake and the funeral in Clonoe.
It is their mission, he said, "to make the recovery of the rest of the Irish labourers buried there possible, and to tell the full story of those who lost their lives helping to build America".
Writing on the Duffy's Cut website, Bill Watson said: "We believe Catherine was murdered in an attempt to contain the cholera epidemic, which locals believed was being spread by the immigrant railroad workers.
"Her skull shows massive perimortem violence by means of a sharp implement which would have caused her death."
He added: "The workers were a convenient scapegoat for the community, which did not understand the cause of the disease.
"All of the bodies we have excavated were healthy and showed no sign of defensive wounds which indicates that they may have been bound.
"One man died from being shot in the head after being struck by with an axe."
He also said the coffins were sealed with a large number of nails - averaging more than 100 - to prevent them from being opened.
In the Clonoe parish bulletin, Fr Fee wrote: "Les Miserables is a great musical and my favourite song in it is, Bring Him Home.
"These days I find myself humming that tune because the parish is not bringing him home, they are bringing her, Catherine, home."
Members of Aslef and the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union were due to walkout for 24 hours on Saturday in a row over jobs.
Workers were due to protest at Night Tube drivers being "blocked" from applying for full-time roles.
Aslef said both unions had suspended their actions after "clarification" from London Underground (LU) of a proposal to end the dispute.
Aslef's Finn Brennan said: "Our aim has always been to make sure that Night Tube drivers were not forced to remain in the role indefinitely, while new recruits took up full-time positions.
"The new proposal means that LU will fill full-time vacancies from waiting lists in-line with agreements and Night Tube drivers will not be 'jumped' by new recruits."
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said the action had "forced London Underground to see sense and stop discriminating against Night Tube drivers over their career progression".
LU's operations director Peter McNaught said: "When we introduced the service we promised to provide career progression for Night Tube train drivers and we remain committed to doing so."
The proposals will be put to a ballot of Aslef members with a recommendation to accept.
London mayor Sadiq Khan said he was "pleased" unnecessary strike disruption for Londoners had been avoided.
The 26-year-old is a replacement for Craig Huby, who moved to Wakefield earlier in December.

Speaking to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, officials investigating the artist's death said the pills were labelled as hydrocodone, a weaker type of opioid.
Autopsy results released in June revealed Prince died of an accidental fentanyl overdose.
Officials told the Associated Press the singer had no prescriptions for controlled substances at the time.
Prince was found dead at 57 in an elevator inside his Paisley Park home in April.
According to the Star Tribune report, the musician weighed just 50kg (8 stone) at the time of his death and had significantly more than a fatal dose of fentanyl in his system.
Fentanyl has been linked to a surge in overdoses in parts of the US after being incorporated into counterfeit pills.
The counterfeit pills found in Paisley Park contained a variety of drugs, according to the Associated Press, including fentanyl, lidocaine and U-4770, a synthetic drug eight times more powerful than morphine.
Tests on Prince prior to his death did not show fentanyl in his system, AP said, citing an official involved with the investigation, indicating the singer was not a long-term user of the drug.
The official said Prince had many of these pills with him a week before his death when his aeroplane made an emergency stop in Illinois after he fell ill.
He reportedly received two doses of Narcan, an antidote used to reverse suspected opioid overdoses.
A singer, songwriter, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, Prince recorded more than 30 albums. His best known hits include Let's Go Crazy and When Doves Cry.
Fentanyl is an extremely strong painkiller, prescribed for severe chronic pain, or breakthrough pain which doesn't respond to regular painkillers.
It is an opioid painkiller which means it works by mimicking the body's natural painkillers, called endorphins, which block pain messages to the brain.
It can cause dangerous side effects, including severe breathing problems.
The risk of harm is higher if the wrong dose or strength is used.
Ethical approval has been granted for the transplants - as part of a clinical trial - and will launch in spring.
Around one in 5,000 women are born without a womb, while others lose their womb to cancer.
If the trial is successful, the first UK baby born from a womb transplant could arrive in late 2017 or 2018.
More than 100 women have already been identified as potential recipients of donor wombs.
Dr Richard Smith, a consultant gynaecologist at the Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in London who has been working on the project for 19 years, will lead the transplant team.
He said childlessness could be a "disaster" for couples, but the technique would offer hope to those whose only other option is surrogacy or adoption.
How would the procedure work?
The 55-year-old said: "I've met many of the women who want this and it's really important for them and their partners.
"There is no doubting that, for many couples, childlessness is a disaster.
"Infertility is a difficult thing to treat for these women. Surrogacy is an option but it does not answer the deep desire that women have to carry their own baby."
The women who will be selected for the trial must all meet criteria, which include being 38 or under, having a long-term partner and being a healthy weight.
More than 300 women have approached the Womb Transplant UK team, of whom 104 meet the criteria.
In October last year a woman in Sweden became the first in the world to give birth to a baby after having a womb transplant.
The 36-year-old, who was born without a uterus, gave birth by Caesarean section to a boy named Vincent after receiving a womb donated by a family friend.

Their intervention is seen as an attempt to defuse escalating tensions between rival communities in Nigeria.
However, a pro-secessionist group says it will press ahead with its campaign.
Security forces have killed at least 150 people since August 2015 to quell pro-independence protests, Amnesty International says.
The campaign has also fuelled tension in northern Nigeria, where some youth groups have retaliated by threatening to expels Igbos who live there.
So, the statement by Igbo leaders pledging loyalty to Nigeria could help ease tension in the north, says the BBC's Naziru Mikailu in the capital, Abuja.
Following a specially convened meeting in the Igbo heartland of Enugu city to discuss the crisis, state governors, lawmakers, traditional and religious leaders issued a statement on Sunday to give their "full support" to a "united Nigeria".
However, the statement called for the vast and oil-rich West African state to be "restructured" to achieve a "a just and equitable society".
Many people in the south-east accuse successive governments of failing to develop their areas.
The pro-independence Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (Massob) said the meeting failed to reflect the views of the Igbo people.
"We want Biafra and nothing but Biafra. Nigeria must disintegrate. Her faulty foundation has broken beyond repair," Massob said in a statement.
Massob is one of the main groups leading the independence campaign.
On 30 May, many people in cities and towns across the south-east stayed at home to mark the 50th anniversary of the declaration of the breakaway state of Biafra.
The 1967 declaration led to a brutal civil war, which claimed the lives of up to a million people, before the secessionist rebellion was defeated by government forces.
Released from a ship, the vehicle criss-crossed the underside of the floes, using upward-looking sonar to measure their shape.
The researchers involved in the project tell the journal Nature Geoscience that the thickness of the pack ice was greater than they had anticipated.
But they also caution against making generalisations from limited sampling.
Antarctic sea ice at its peak extent can cover 20 million square km; the research team on the other hand looked at just six small boxes some 500m along the square.
Nonetheless, the UK/US/Australia group got its proof-of-principle Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) into previously hard-to-reach places.
The hope is that this early demonstration will lead in the future to more effective means of assessing the volume of marine ice circling the White Continent.
This topic has become one of the most interesting questions in climate science in recent years as its trend line grows in the face of a warming planet.
Deep-winter sea ice in Antarctica now stands at an all-time high, as measured in the modern satellite record - and researchers are trying to work out why it has not followed the sharp decline seen in the Arctic.
"Antarctic sea has been kind of the poor sister," says Jeremy Wilkinson from the British Antarctic Survey.
"A lot of effort has gone into measuring Arctic sea ice, and we're only now just scratching the surface of Antarctic sea ice, especially in respect to thickness," he told BBC News.
"We want to understand how it is changing and how that integrates with climate and ecosystem changes.
"It's only by bringing all the processes together that we will be able to model them and say what's going on in the Antarctic."
The AUV, known as SeaBED, was developed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in the US.
It is about 2m in length, weighs nearly 200kg, and sports a twin-hull design that gives it enhanced stability.
SeaBed was released in the Antarctic spring seasons of 2010 and 2012 to sample ice thickness in six locations that included the Bellingshausen and Weddell seas, to the west of the continent, and off Wilkes Land, to the east.
The sub autonomously went about its business, tracking a "lawnmower pattern" under the ice for several hours before returning to the launch ship for recovery.
That in itself is quite an achievement.
"Here's the hard part: the ice floes that we want to map are all moving," explains WHOI's Hanumant Singh.
"What you do is place transponders in the ice so that the sub can move relative to those and produce a map that is consistent.
"The other big problem is that the ice will close up. In the six to eight hours that it takes to do one of these missions, the ice conditions change dramatically, and the hole you dropped the AUV in may have gone by the time the survey's finished.
"You then just have to hope that a new hole has opened up next to your ship, which has itself by then also moved."
The researchers found that, on average, the thickness of the ice beneath sea level was 1.4 to 5.5m, with the thickest sea ice measured at 16m.
They also encountered a lot of highly deformed ice, where one block had ridden over another, increasing the overall draft.
Antarctic sea ice measurements in the past have largely been limited to shipboard observations and drill holes - both of which are likely to bias to thinner ice (for example, a ship's captain prefers to drive a vessel through the thinnest packs to avoid getting stuck).
A more global assessment would use satellites but these have difficulty working in the Antarctic because of the deep snow drifts that can accumulate on top of the floes.
These will hide the true shape of the ice and if the weight of the snow is substantial may even press the floes into the water column.
But Dr Wilkinson is hopeful that this and future sub studies will enable researchers to tease apart such details, to allow satellites to better gauge what they see below them.
"What we can do is take what these subs are showing us and then develop the algorithms that can be used by satellites to get a better synoptic scale," he told BBC News.
"Another approach is to use longer-range AUVs that can give you a couple of hundred km [along the square] and go after the key areas that are changing, and to monitor those over time," said Dr Wilkinson.
WHOI continues to develop its sub technology. It plans next to deploy a torpedo-like vehicle that can move faster and cover much wider sampling areas.
"The vehicle that we have now is relatively inexpensive at half a million dollars, but we'd like to get that down to maybe $100,000-150,000, so that when we lose a vehicle - and you will at some point lose one - we won't cry too much," said Dr Singh.

And it was 2-0 when Scotland lost possession in their own half and Lien Mermans punished them.
Tessa Wullaert made it three with a left-foot shot into the top corner and Jassina Blom scored twice late on to complete Scotland's misery.
Anna Signeul's Scots had gone into the game two places above Belgium in the world rankings, their hosts' recent improvement having taken them up to 23rd on their way to also qualifying for this summer's finals in Netherlands.
With nine players unable to make the trip through injury, and Chelsea teenager Erin Cuthbert released to captain the Under-19s, who qualified for their own Euros last week, there were plenty of opportunities for Scotland's fringe players.
The only new cap in the starting XI was 29-year-old English-born central defender Vaila Barsley, who had never been in a Scotland squad before this game, having previously played for England Under-17s.
On a bad night for her side, she was to prove Scotland's best player until she was substituted on the hour.
The six-foot defender partnered captain for the night Ifeoma Dieke, with Shannon Lynn again preferred in goal to Gemma Fay, who has yet to play 90 minutes this year.
The first 15 minutes were as good as it got for the Scots. They even created the first chance in the opening 60 seconds, when Lisa Evans cut in from the right and tested Nicky Evrard with a 20-yard shot.
Once Belgium settled into their stride, it was only a matter of when they would score as the Scots were giving the ball away cheaply when in possession.
Glasgow City midfielder Leanne Ross did so just inside her own half - and, although Janice Caymen hit the bar with her ambitious 35-yard lob over Lynn, the goalkeeper could only scramble the rebound for a corner.
From that, Coutereels put Belgium into the lead. The goal, just after the half-hour, was all that separated the sides, but the goals the home side deserved came in the second period.
Lynn made a string of good saves but was finally beaten by Lien Mermens after Dieke was dispossessed 20 yards out.
One of Belgian's star players, Wulleart, then scored the best goal of the game just before the hour, lashing the ball home from the edge of the box.
The pace went out of the game, but substitute Jassina Blom scored twice late on to put the seal on her side's dominant performance.
Barsley's replacement was another central defender who had never been in a Scotland squad before.
Sophie Howard was born in Germany to British parents and plays for Hoffenheim, but by the time she came on for her fellow debutant, Scotland were already a lost cause.
Scotland head coach Anna Signeul: "It's really tough to take any positives - I feel sad for the players who haven't been in the squad before that this was their first experience of playing for Scotland.
"Even players that have many caps couldn't live up to their normal capacity. It's disappointing.
"Shannon had some great saves also - it could have been even more.
"It wasn't a good start to the second half. I feel sorry for Iffy (Dieke). She did some really good things in the first half.
"One thing I will say about the players is that they worked all game. They didn't give up."
The 19-year-old was part of Jose Mourinho's squad on their pre-season tour to North America and has now completed a move to Stamford Bridge.
"I very much enjoyed my time with the squad during pre-season and I am very grateful to Fluminense for allowing me this opportunity," said Kenedy.
"I am very happy to complete my transfer to Chelsea."
"It is an exciting time for me to join the English Premier League champions and I hope I can become an important player for the club."
Kenedy joins other Brazilians Ramires, Oscar and Willian at the club, while Nathan, who is also from Brazil, has moved on loan to Vitesse Arnhem after joining Chelsea in the summer.
Emergency services were called to the semi-detached house in Anniesland's Fifth Avenue at about 03:30 on Monday.
Fire crews were met with a "well-developed" blaze in one of the bedrooms from where the man was recovered.
He was treated at the scene for severe burns and smoke inhalation and later pronounced dead in hospital. The fire is believed to have been caused by a cigarette setting bedding alight.
Specialist officers from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Investigation Unit are working to establish the full circumstances surrounding the blaze.
Asst Ch Officer Lewis Ramsay said: "In the wake of this tragedy everyone's thoughts will of course be with the man's family and friends.
"The loss of life through fire in the home will certainly be felt across the community and it will profoundly touch many people.
"We must all be asking ourselves if we know someone who could be at risk and thinking about those who are older, who have health conditions or who live alone and might be a bit isolated."
He urged anyone who knew an elderly or vulnerable person who needed help to reduce fire risk to contact the fire service.
William Mead died from septicaemia aged 12 months on 14 December.
Prof Peter Fleming said neither the NHS 111 service nor the out-of-hours GP had acted on a temperature change when his parents spoke to them on 13 December.
William's mother Melissa told the inquest in Cornwall he should not have died from something "so preventable".
William had been suffering from a persistent cough when his parents called for help.
Expert witness Prof Fleming, from Bristol Children's Hospital, expressed concern that neither the 111 service nor the out-of-hours GP, Nicholas Walker, had acted on William's temperature which had been at 40C on 12 December but had fallen to 35C the next day.
He said: "One of the difficulties that 111 faces is that they are not talking to a skilled professional - they are working from a script, not their professional knowledge.
"The script does not cover what is a very rare event."
Prof Fleming said he was disappointed the "algorithm" used by the 111 service did not appear to have assessed the situation effectively.
Cornwall Coroner Dr Emma Carlyon asked Prof Fleming at the hearing in Truro if there was anything that could have been done that could have prevented the death.
He replied: "With the benefit of hindsight, had he been seen and admitted on the Saturday [13 December], I think there is a very good chance that his illness could have been treated successfully."
Prof Fleming said William died from a streptococcal infection and pneumonia leading to septicaemia. He said the infection had probably taken hold in the week leading up to William's death leading to a "rapid deterioration" on 12 and 13 December.
Dr Carlyon recorded a verdict of death by natural causes.
Speaking after the inquest Mrs Mead said she would like to see improvements in "the practice of all GPs and the 111 and out-of-hours services".
She said her son would be "missed beyond measure" and she and her husband had been "destroyed" by their loss.
South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, which provides the NHS 111 service in Cornwall, is yet to comment. Serco, which provided the out-of-hours GP service until 31 May 2015, said it would pass on any lessons learned to the new service providers.
Perth Sheriff Court was told that Crown Office staff were unable to understand the words of accused Denis Boyd because of his "Geordie" accent.
Mr Boyd, 38, who now lives in Redgorton in Perthshire, denies sexually assaulting a woman in Perth in 2016.
Sheriff Gillian Wade agreed to schedule an extra day in the case.
Mr Boyd's defence agent, solicitor Nicky Brown, told the court that her client had taken part in a recorded interview with police and that a DVD had been produced for the court. However, staff had so far been unable to determine what was being said.
She added: "There is a difficulty with the transcript of his police interview. The difficulty is that the accused has a very, very strong Geordie accent and part of his response is missing.
"It is not just part of it, but substantial parts of it. I will need to go through it with him and put in the responses which are missing."
Prosecutor John Malpass added: "That is the current position with the transcript. There are large tracts of the interview missing."
In granting an extra day's hearing, Sheriff Wade said she was not going to "rant and rave" at the delay.
She told the court: "I appreciate there has been a disclosure issue, but I am not going to rant and rave about it because that is not going to help.
"In the first instance the Crown have to make sure disclosure is made in time.
"There is clearly a problem with the DVD and both parties need to know what is said at the interview. The problem has been identified.
"I am not going to get anyone into trouble. I will continue on a joint motion for a further first diet for the missing responses from the DVD to be inserted into the transcript and for the transcript to be agreed."
The clerk of the court told Mr Boyd that an extra court day was being scheduled "for the police interview to effectively be translated".
Mr Boyd denies carrying out a sex attack on a woman in Victoria Street, Perth, on 29 August 2016. The trial is due to take place later this year.
Joel Harrison, 22, and Gary Beddoes, 29, set fire to the tent while it was pitched on grass land near College Road, Doncaster, in August 2015.
Both men pleaded guilty to arson charges at Sheffield Crown Court.
Harrison, of York Road, Dunscroft, was jailed for three years and seven months and Beddoes of Kenneth Avenue, Stainforth, was jailed for six years.
'Horrific attack'
Two men previously charged in connection with the attack, Jason Vicarage and Ricky Andrewatha, were cleared after the prosecution offered no evidence.
Speaking after the sentencing, Det Con Dello O'Horo said the two victims had been subjected to an "absolutely horrific attack".
"They were both left with extensive burns after being deliberately set on fire in what can only be described as a despicable act, which they are still coming to terms with over a year later.
"This was a complex investigation over a number of months and I am pleased that both Harrison and Beddoes are now behind bars for their crime."
The 2017 An Comhdháil World Irish Dance Championships are taking place at the Waterfront Hall.
The event, which began on Sunday, features 42 competitions over six days, with dancers aged from nine to 21.
It is the first time the event has been staged in Belfast.
Competitors from the US, Scotland, England, Europe, Japan, the UAE, Australia and all over Ireland are taking part.
Some 25,000 spectators are expected at the championships, said Matthew Donohoe, the event's chairman.
"The An Comhdháil World Irish Dance Championships is the premier event for our organisation," he said.
"The dancers that will compete here have been preparing for many months to showcase their exceptional talent."
This year's championships have a record number of entries both in solo and figure dancing, said Mr Donohoe.
"The Waterfront Hall really suits the championships we're running this year, we're running two major stages and the extension to the Waterfront allowed us to do that," he said.
Among the dancers who have already been crowned world champions is 10-year-old Eva Jane Muldoon, from the Quinn School in County Tyrone.
"It was really exciting," said Eva Jane, who has been dancing for five years.
"We had to do a dance with two other people, then we did another dance with two other people.
"If you got a recall for your championship, then you did a set dance on your own."
Coming from further afield, Florida dancer Stephanie Lovetere, who is performing in the under-18 category, said she had started as a ballet dancer.
"But I found an Irish dancing school and I've always loved watching Lord of the Dance and Riverdance," she said.
"I really just wanted to get involved, especially since I'm part Irish, so I wanted to do sort of a heritage thing and I just got reeled into the competitive world.
"Quite a lot of people in the United States are involved in Irish dance."
Four hundred teams are competing in the championships, with events running every day until Friday.
The medics were secretly filmed by the Sunday Times, which has investigated allegations of doping in the African country in collaboration with German broadcaster ARD/WRD.
Kenya's Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has also reportedly made arrests in connection with the claims.
Ukad has also sent two investigators to Nairobi to assist with the enquiries.
In a statement, UK Athletics described the Sunday Times' allegations as "vague and unsubstantiated" and encouraged the newspaper to "provide full details of all of the individuals and information in its article as a matter of urgency so that the claims can be investigated in a timely manner".
It added: "None of the allegations as presented relating to British athletes accords with our experience. Nevertheless, we take any allegations of doping seriously and will as always cooperate fully with any investigation undertaken by Ukad or other anti-doping organisations."
It is alleged that the footage shows the medics claiming they were paid by British, Kenyan and other athletes to administer blood-boosting drug erythropoietin (EPO).
According to the newspaper, the doctors provided medical notes and blood test results to show they had treated a British athlete for an injury.

A third Kenyan associated with the doctors also alleges that three other British athletes were among the 50 athletes he had given banned performance-enhancing drugs to.
The Sunday Times says that when it subsequently approached the two doctors, they refused to answer questions about the claims they had made on film. It says the associate claimed he had lied about helping athletes cheat - and had encouraged the doctors to lie as well "to make some money".
Nicole Sapstead, Ukad chief executive, said the evidence was "of grave concern and of significant interest".
She added: "We have opened an investigation and are taking the necessary steps to corroborate the evidence and investigate it further...this evidence is being treated with the utmost importance and urgency."
Kenya, a powerhouse nation in world athletics, was deemed to be in breach of global anti-doping rules in May. The World Anti-Doping Agency declared the country non-compliant with its code after a series of drugs and corruption scandals.
These allegations come weeks after Kenya passed legislation to create a new national anti-doping agency in April. The IOC has since demanded that Kenyan athletes who want to compete in Rio must undergo extra doping tests.
Last month, the chairman of Ukad admitted mistakes had been made over its handling of allegations that a London-based doctor prescribed performance-enhancing drugs to 150 athletes, including Premier League footballers.

Ukad investigated Mark Bonar - who denies any wrongdoing - two years ago, but decided he was out of their jurisdiction and did not pass on any details to the General Medical Council. The findings of an independent review into the affair is due to be published later this month.
Sapstead said: "We recognise that many athletes train overseas for a number of reasons, such as warmer weather or the altitude, and sometimes in countries which do not have the necessary anti-doping systems in place.
"Ukad has no power to prevent a sport training in other parts of the world and we strongly encourage every sport to carry out a risk assessment when choosing where their athletes train and to report any concerns to us.
"Whilst ultimately it is an athlete's responsibility to protect themselves from doping, it is absolutely imperative that national governing bodies of sport ensure that their athletes and coaching staff are safeguarded and are training in safe and clean environments.
"They must ensure that they are in the best possible environment to compete, and win, clean."
The 44-year-old signed a three-year deal in January 2014 to lead a revamped management set-up.
Derbyshire are second from bottom of Division Two of the County Championship with two defeats and five draws from their opening seven matches.
Elite performance coach John Sadler will take charge, supported by captains Billy Godleman and Wes Durston.
Chairman Chris Grant said: "Whilst results have been disappointing, Graeme leaves with stronger foundations in place.
"We have seen a number of players develop under Graeme's guidance. We have also seen a clear increase in the levels of professionalism and work ethic."
Derbyshire finished second from bottom in the Championship in 2015 with just three wins from their 16 matches, while they failed to progress beyond the group stages of both one-day competitions.
Welch added: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the club and learned so much.
"I would particularly like to thank the chairman and board for their support over the last few years and I wish them all the best for the future."
Derbyshire face Leicestershire at home in the T20 Blast on Friday.
The home side could have qualified for their first major tournament in 30 years with a win but fell behind when Richard Guzmics prodded home from goalkeeper Michael McGovern's mistake.
Chris Baird was then sent off for two rapid yellow card offences before Lafferty smashed home.
Two points from games against Greece and Finland will seal qualification.
The part-renovated Windsor Park was rocking throughout as an expectant home crowd hoped to see Northern Ireland reach a major finals for the first time since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
But, despite a dominant first-half display, a horrible lapse in judgement from Hamilton keeper McGovern looked like leaving the hosts in a nervous second place in Group F, just a point above Hungary.
McGovern failed to hold a straightforward free-kick from Balazs Dzsudzsak, allowing Guzmics to tap in.
With defeat looking inevitable, Lafferty snapped up his seventh goal of the Group F campaign to equalise when Gabor Kiraly could not hold substitute Niall McGinn's low drive to put qualification back in Northern Ireland's own hands.
Striker Lafferty, defender Conor McLaughlin and Baird will be suspended for the 8 October visit of Greece.

Northern Ireland were already a goal down when the dismissal of Baird in the 81st minute provided a big talking point at Windsor Park.
Referee Cuneyt Cakir showed Baird two yellow cards, one after the other, before sending him off, to the confusion and anger of many home players.
Northern Ireland felt he should have only been booked once, but the referee indicated he was cautioning Baird for two fouls in the same move after playing an advantage.
Manager Michael O'Neill was left baffled by the decision of the Turkish official.
"Chris would not have made the second tackle if he knew he was being booked for the first," he said.
"I've never seen that before in a game in all my life."
In the circumstances, O'Neill will be hugely relieved to get a point from the match.
If Lafferty had not scored his dramatic stoppage-time equaliser, Northern Ireland might have been left needing to win their last two games against Greece and Finland.
Instead a single win, or two draws, will be enough to secure a top-two place in Group F thanks to a now superior head-to-head record with Hungary, who they beat 2-1 in Budapest a year ago.
Lafferty remains frozen out of the picture at club side Norwich - whom he has not played for since January.
However, only Bayern Munich duo Robert Lewandowski (10 for Poland) and Thomas Muller (eight for Germany) have more Euro 2016 qualification goals than the 27-year-old.
With no real stand-out performances, Kyle Lafferty gets the vote for his precious, point-saving goal. The striker has not been able to get a game with Norwich this season but has been a revelation for his country. the only blot was the booking which sees him pick up a one-game ban.
Northern Ireland next host Greece in Belfast on 8 October, before ending their campaign in Finland three days later.
A win in either match would book a place at the finals in France next summer.

The 45-year-old's deal ends after the Euros but he is yet to agree anything with the Football Association of Wales.
Coleman said in March that he and the FAW were "apart" during talks, while in April they improved their offer to him.
But Rush does not think it is important enough to be sorted before their first game against Slovakia on 11 June.
"I don't think it'll affect things if he doesn't sign," said Rush, who scored 28 goals in 73 caps for Wales in a 16 year period.
"Look at [Antonio] Conte now, he's going to Chelsea and if Italy don't do well they'll most probably blame that.
"I don't think that's the case with Chris and Wales. I think if anything is going to be done, I think it'll be done after the Euros."
Coleman has been linked with the vacant manager's job at Aston Villa whilst there has also been speculation hometown club Swansea City could be interested if they decide not to retain head coach Francesco Guidolin for next season.
The former Fulham and Coventry City boss indicated he wants to stay on for the World Cup campaign which starts in September, following the conclusion of Wales' first international tournament for 58 years.
"We'd all like him to [sign a deal before the tournament] and it would give everyone a boost but if he doesn't, let's get on with the Euros and see what happens after," Rush continued.
"It gives everyone an incentive. If they want Chris to stay and the team is winning there's only one thing they can do, he's got to stay."
Andrew Harvey, 42, was working at St Ann's Hospital in Poole supervising a woman who was being treated for depression and a personality disorder.
Dorset Police said he encouraged her to book into a hotel and engaged in consensual sexual activity.
He was jailed for 21 months for offences under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
At an earlier hearing he pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual activity with a person with a mental disorder by a care worker.
Bournemouth Crown Court heard the offences happened in 2015 when Harvey, of Chaddesley Wood Road in Poole, worked for the NHS as a mental health support worker on a bank nurse basis.
The woman had been on a supervised trip to see her children when they arrived early and Harvey encouraged her to book a hotel room.
Det Con Ben Griffin, of Bournemouth CID, said: "While the victim in this case consented to having sex with Andrew Harvey, he knew what he was doing was wrong and abused his position of trust with a vulnerable woman."
A spokesman for Dorset Healthcare University NHS Trust said: "We take any abuse of patients very seriously. It was the trust that reported this incident to the police and we acted immediately to ensure Mr Harvey had no access to patients."
Sam Winnall headed in from close range before Mark Cullen struck back for Blackpool after the break.
Winnall tapped home Lloyd Isgrove's cross as Barnsley regained the lead before Marley Watkins slotted a third.
Andy Little's late strike gave Blackpool hope but Matt Templeton fired low into the bottom corner as the Tykes moved out of League One's drop zone.
Prior to the game, Barnsley confirmed the signing of 17-year-old left-back Rhys Dolan from non-league Ilkeston Town for an undisclosed fee, on a contract to run until the summer of 2018.
The 37-year-old is top of the current Test batting rankings and fifth in the all-time list of Test run-scorers.
He will retire from one-day internationals after the forthcoming World Cup and is likely to be available for much of the 2015 county season.
"He is a five-star player and person and that is important because he will be working with our homegrown players," Surrey director Alec Stewart said.
Sangakkara, who is the fourth highest ODI run-scorer with 13,414, has previously played county cricket in England for Warwickshire and had a two-game spell with Durham last season, making 159 in his final innings.
"He is the number one Test batsman in the world but it's the special character that he has which is as important to us," Stewart added.
Sangakkara has agreed a two-year contract.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has agreed a total business flood recovery fund of £5m.
It said grants could include cash to repair or buy new equipment, pay to restore flood-hit premises or help with relocation costs.
The fund will be managed by the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership.
The money will come from the area's regional growth fund allocation from the government for 2016/17.
The city region area covers the 10 local authority areas of Barnsley, Bradford, Calderdale, Craven, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds, Selby, Wakefield and York.
It is believed around 2,000 businesses were damaged by the flooding in December.
Peter Box, chair of the combined authority, said: "I know how devastating it has been for many small and medium businesses and the knock-on effect for those companies that are suppliers or customers of those flood-hit firms."
Mr Box said he accepted the money would only "scratch the surface" and said the combined authority would continue to press for continuing support for flood prevention measures from the government.
He said the grants, which would range from £5,000 to £100,000, would be in addition to financial support already offered for flood clean-up costs by local authorities.
Austria is second only to Belgium in the number of foreign jihadists per capita who have left a European Union country to fight in Syria and Iraq.
More than half of them were of Chechen origin. But, in recent months, efforts by the government and by the community mean that fewer are setting off for the Middle East.

Islamic State group: The full story
Islamic State: What is the attraction for young Europeans?
Tracing Britain's jihadists
On a Vienna housing estate, a martial arts class is underway.
The boys, who come from Austria's marginalised Chechen community, are learning Latar Do, a new form of martial arts.
Their parents hope that sport will keep them off the streets - and out of the hands of radical Islamists. Around 150 Austrian Chechens have gone to fight in Syria and Iraq in the last three years - and families here are nervous.
"The boys have a lot of energy, a lot of power," their trainer Adam Bisaev told me. "If we don't channel that, they could do drugs or go and fight. This is the opposite. It is good for their future."
Thirty thousand Chechens live in Austria, making it one of the largest Chechen communities in Europe.
Life is not always easy for Chechens here. Adam Bisaev, who came to Vienna as a refugee in 2003, says they often face prejudice.
He founded the club, which also provides language classes, to help people integrate. Two years ago, in response to the increasing numbers of radicalised youth, he helped set up a Chechen council to focus on the good example set by many young Chechens in work or studying.
"As a community we weren't well organised," he said.
"For parents it's not simple to bring up their children in this society. They lose control, the community loses it and then the young people receive proposals: You can go to Syria and be a hero.
"Since we've had the Chechen council, the first question has been our youth."
It is not just Chechens in Austria who have gone off to be foreign fighters.
The phenomenon has affected other minority communities here - notably those of Bosnian, Balkan and Arab origin, as well as a number of Austrian converts to Islam.
In 2014, two Viennese Bosnian teenage girls, Samra and Sabina, went to Syria, where they reportedly married fighters from so-called Islamic State.
A Muslim preacher, Mirsad Omerovic, known as Ebu Tejma, is currently on trial, accused of recruiting young Austrians to join IS.
But over the past year, the number of Austrians setting off to become foreign fighters has decreased. Karl Heinz Grundboeck, spokesman for the Interior Ministry, says that IS propaganda "is not so effective now."
"We have more information and co-operation with the communities and it is not so easy for Daesh [IS] to convince people to join this fight.
"Secondly we have had a number of successful investigations resulting in arrests."
Mr Grundboeck says Austria is focusing on a double track of prevention and law enforcement, working with teachers, youth workers and official Muslim community organisations.
A telephone hotline has been set up for people concerned about extremism.
Another NGO, Women without Borders, aims to help mothers from vulnerable communities recognise and deal with signs of radicalisation in their children, as well as build bridges with the authorities.
One of their trainers, Chechen journalist Maynat Kurbanova, said it had been a great shock for the community when young Chechen men in Austria went to fight in Syria.
"I believe that at the beginning of the war, at least, they saw the fight against [Syrian President] Assad as a fight against Putin and against Russia," she said. "They couldn't go to fight in Chechnya, but it was simpler to go to Syria. And then there were the radical preachers and the internet which encouraged more of them to go."
For Chechens in Austria it was a wake-up call. "It made them realise they needed help. The community is much more open now."
While fewer Austrians are going to Syria, 80 foreign fighters have since returned to Austria. Many are in prison, and are being closely watched by the authorities.
The University of the People, based in California, is a fast-growing, non-profit project designed to provide higher education for those with the academic ability to study, but without the ability to pay or without any practical access to a traditional university.
"There isn't a better reason for the invention of the internet," says the university's founder and president, Shai Reshef.
The university offers fully accredited four-year degrees, completely taught online, with students scattered across 180 countries.
"We open the gates to higher education. We are an alternative for those who have no other alternative - survivors of the genocide in Rwanda, refugees from Syria, the earthquake in Haiti," says Mr Reshef, speaking to the BBC in London.
In the United States, the university provides places for people without documentation, who otherwise would be stuck in a loop-tape of needing qualifications to get a better job but not having the paperwork to enrol in a conventional college.
The courses are built on 40 separate units, with each usually costing $100 (£77) to take an invigilated exam - making a full degree $4,000 (£3,100).
The fees are being waived for the Syrian refugees.
"Nobody deserves education as much as refugees. These are people who have lost everything. Many will never go back to their countries, and their children and grandchildren become refugees too.
"The only way out of the cycle is by education, the only way for them to integrate in their new countries is through education," says Mr Reshef.
What makes this low-cost model possible is a combination of academic and tech philanthropy.
It's allowed the university to expand from 500 to 5,000 students in two years, with an expectation that it will double again.
Students are taught for 20 hours per week in online classes of about 20 to 30 students, with the instruction and support and homework assignments provided by a small army of volunteer academics and retired university staff, who receive only a token payment.
Mr Reshef says there is no shortage of academics wanting to help students who otherwise would be excluded.
"These professors see the price of education, particularly in the US and the UK, and they think it doesn't make any sense."

The aim is to make the university self-sustaining, but it's supported by some big donors, including the Gates Foundation, Hewlett Packard and Google.
And at the university's academic top table are people such as Sir Colin Lucas, former vice-chancellor of Oxford University; Nicholas Dirks, chancellor of University of California, Berkeley and John Sexton, former president of New York University.
Much of the attention in online higher education has been focused on so-called Moocs - the massive open online courses.
They have tens of millions of students, but they usually offer only short units rather than full degrees.
But the University of the People approach is fundamentally different.
It's about providing qualifications to improve employability for students who are in difficult circumstances.
As such, the university has focused on a small range of subject areas, such as computing, health and business.
It's also not an easy option.
"Online education is not for everyone. It requires extremely high motivation and self-discipline. I mean, you work full time and then you have to study for hours at home," says Mr Reshef.
"In a traditional class, you can fall asleep, get something afterwards from a friend. Here, it's much harder."
For the refugee students, there is a plan to make this less isolated, with negotiations to see if they can study online for two years and then move into a local university for the final two years.
In the US, it already has a relationship with Berkeley, so that high-achieving University of the People students can transfer after two years to the bricks and mortar institution in California.
Another project in the pipeline is to create courses that can be delivered and studied in Arabic.
The University of the People was created with a specific mission to reach those who otherwise would be excluded from getting a degree.
But Mr Reshef says such online innovations raise wider questions about the future shape of higher education as it continues its upward curve of expansion.
There has been a huge global rise in demand for university.
Figures from the OECD showed recently that China was opening the equivalent of a new university every week.
In Western countries, student numbers continue to climb, but there are thorny political questions about the rising cost of fees and inequalities of access.
Mr Reshef says the emergence of online universities will raise some hard-headed business questions about what a degree should cost.
In particular, he says a low-cost, wide-access approach could benefit students in developing countries, which at the moment are rich in talent and poor in opportunities.
All too often, he says, governments invest in prestige campus university projects, when online universities, or courses part-taught online, would provide much better value.
If universities could "open the gates" in sub-Saharan Africa, he predicts a flood of untapped creativity.
"You will find the next Einstein coming from Zimbabwe," he says.
Between March 2014 and February this year, 7,227 people needed medical attention after being "bitten or struck" by a dog - up from 4,110 in the corresponding period ten years ago.
Young children were the most commonly affected, the Heath and Social Care Information Centre statistics showed.
Charity Dogs Trust said the statistics were "deeply concerning".
Admission rates for other types of animal attacks - including injuries caused by rats, cats, horses and foxes - are also up 76% compared to ten years ago.
The increase far outstripped the rise in total hospital admissions for that period, which went up 25% from 12.6 million to 15.8 million a year, the report said.
Admissions due to dog bites between March 2014 and February 2015 were generally higher in summer months and lower in winter.
Rates were highest in urban areas (81%), and "between two and three times as high for the 10% most deprived areas", the report said.
Dog bites and strikes accounted for over two-thirds of admissions for mammal bites and strikes, with the highest rates in Merseyside, Durham, Darlington and Tees, and Thames Valley.
The most commonly affected were children under the age of nine, with 1,159 admitted to hospital.
"The most common injuries from dogs were open wounds of wrists, hands, head and forearm," the report said.
"For other mammals the main injuries were also open wounds to the wrist and hand, however there were also more diagnoses of cellulitis (infection of the deeper layers of the skin and the underlying tissue) and more leg fractures."
The statistics showed that 123 people were given a primary diagnosis of "traumatic amputation of wrist and hand" - including one child.
At least 21 people, including 13 children, have died in England and Wales in the past 10 years from dog attacks.
Four-year-old Lexi Branson died in 2013 after being attacked at home in Mountsorrel, Leicestershire, by the family's Aylestone bulldog-type breed.
In October 2014, six-month-old Molly-Mae Wotherspoon died after being mauled by her family's American pit bull terrier at her mother's home in Daventry.
The coroner at her inquest said her family had "paid the ultimate price" for owning an animal banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act.
In May last year the Dangerous Dogs Act was updated to bring in new longer maximum prison sentences for dog owners, including raising the maximum from two to 14 years for a fatal attack and five for one causing injury. There is also a three-year maximum sentence for allowing your dog to attack an assistance dog.
Trevor Cooper, Dogs Trust law specialist, said: "It is especially worrying to learn that the number of hospital admissions for dog-related injuries is highest among the 0-9 age group.
"Dogs Trust remains frustrated that legislation focusing on issues around dangerous dogs and dog attacks remains ineffective at preventing these incidents happening in the first place. It is the responsibility of dog owners to ensure their dogs are properly trained and socialised, and Dogs Trust advises that young children should never be left alone with a dog."
Measuring over a metre long, this whopper of a footprint is estimated to date back around 70 million years.
Scientists from Okayama University of Science say it will give them "new clues about these huge giant creatures that roamed the earth millions of years ago."
There have been other discoveries of this size in the past but this particular one is very well preserved with three clear claw marks.
TITANOSAUR FACTS
A joint expedition made this most recent discovery in August, where it was found in a layer of rock formed between 70 million and 90 million years ago.
Experts reckon the Titanosaur species could be the largest land animal ever to be discovered.
Although no full skeleton has ever been found in the Gobi desert, in 2014 one was discovered in Argentina with a replica now on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Kingfisher has confirmed to the market that the €275m (£200m) deal, first announced last year, would not proceed.
The company already owns the Castorama chain in France and the deal depended on regulatory approval.
It emerged last week that some Mr Bricolage shareholders opposed the deal.
Shares in Kingfisher rose 3.1%, or 11.1p, to 368.9p in afternoon trading in London, making it the top riser on the FTSE 100. The company is worth more than £8.5bn.
ANPF, an organisation controlled by Mr Bricolage franchisees that holds almost 42% of the retailer's shares, last week decided to oppose the deal.
Kingfisher had set a deadline of 31 March for regulatory approval of the takeover.
"Notwithstanding Kingfisher's efforts to pursue the completion of the transaction, and in light of the positions expressed to date by the ANPF and Mr Bricolage, the anti-trust clearance will not be obtained by 31 March 2015 and therefore the July 2014 agreement will lapse on that date," the company said on Monday.
"Consequently the transaction will not proceed. Kingfisher is considering all of its options."
Some Mr Bricolage franchisees are understood to fear the store closures that would be required for Kingfisher to win regulatory approval of the takeover.
The failure of the deal is a blow to Veronique Laury, the former Castorama boss who took over from Sir Ian Cheshire as chief executive last September.
She will preside over her first set of annual results for Kingfisher on Tuesday.
Andrew Hughes, a UBS analyst, expects pre-tax profits to be 10% lower than 2013 at £670m.
Challenges facing Ms Laury include reducing the amount of floorspace occupied by B&Q stores and generating further growth in Europe following the collapse of the Mr Bricolage deal.
In December, the company said it would sell a 70% stake in B&Q China, which has 39 stores and more than 3,000 staff, for £140m.
One Direction, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Paloma Faith and Ella Henderson will all be performing.
Four awards will be handed out; British Artist of the Year; International Artist of The Year; Song of The Year; and BBC Introducing Act of the Year.
But with the Brits and the Grammys fast approaching, where does this new event fit in?
We asked the man in charge of it all, Bob Shennan, Director of Music at the BBC.
"It's an opportunity for the BBC to reflect on the sheer volume, range, diversity and amount of music content that we do on radio and television every single year.
"It's also an opportunity for us to reflect on 2014 - which has been a phenomenal year across all our outlets and celebrate the year in music.
"A little bit like Sports Personality of the Year is a reflection of the year through the prism of the BBC sport, that's what we want to do in music and it's another chance for us to get top class popular music on BBC1."
"Well I think the Brits is a great show and I hope this will compliment it. I hope there is room for two big events in the musical calendar.
"This is about the year through the eyes of the BBC and the ears of BBC, so there are going to be particular things to do with the BBC Music Awards that frankly no other broadcaster is going to be able to offer to the public."
"Well like BBC Introducing. There will be an award for a BBC Introducing act.
We will be showcasing BBC Introducing, Catfish and The Bottlemen will be performing on the night and sharing the stage on BBC One, in peak time, with the likes of One Direction and Coldplay.
"So it is a big opportunity for them. I think it's really important that we give ourselves the opportunity to reflect on that and to reflect on all the amazing output, live and otherwise the BBC's offered to audiences this year."
"This is as much about reflecting on the year, as it is about handing out gongs.
"We think British Artist, International Artist, Song of the Year are the big ones.
Clean Bandit - Rather Be
Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars
Ed Sheeran - Sing
Ella Henderson - Ghost
George Ezra - Budapest
Kiesza - Hideaway
Lorde - Royals
Nico & Vinz - Am I Wrong
Pharrell - Happy
Sam Smith - Money On My Mind
"In a way I don't think it really matters, I think what matters is the overall story of the night, I think we're going to get a fantastic range (of performances), we're going to get incredible quality (of music) and we're going to get a show that is on the two biggest radio stations in Europe."
"The long list, for the shortlist, was compiled according to the airplay on BBC services during the course of the past twelve months.
Then it was given to a very considerable number of BBC presenters, music decision makers, plus some external experts, who we asked to join us in the voting process.
"Then there was a straightforward vote.
"So there wasn't a sort of carve up around the table, the six who were nominated were the six who got the most number of votes from people who we consider to be the experts.
"I mean equally in the international (category) it's 50/50 split between men and women.
But I think when you look at the calibre and the range of artists - you get a really impressive shortlist."
"It's the way the voting has fallen, I mean there are some incredible, brilliant artists who are going to be performing on the night, so where we've been able to select from the broad range of artists available to the BBC, we've made sure there is a proper representation that reflects the interests of all the audience.
"It is the way it is, we're not fixing anything, we're not distorting anything, we're not sitting around a table saying we need to have this person in order to make it look balanced, we're just offering to the audience what our experts say should be the shortlist."
"I think to begin with we want to put on a really good, high quality show that we know people have an appetite for and we hope that they come to it and really enjoy it.
"If that then means we can develop an annual event where the BBC reflects on the year in music and joins up across all of our big channels and stations then I think that will be wonderful."
"It would be lovely if there were but they have got to work for the audiences and they have got to work for the channels.
"We're giving everything to this show to try and make it a success but it's not easy in television terms to just conjure up successes.
"If this is something that proves to be of appeal to the audience and then maybe there'll be something else we can develop but everything has got to earn it's right, it's an incredibly competitive environment and music has no divine right, we will need to earn it."
The full coverage of the BBC Music Awards will be broadcast across BBC One, Radio 1 and Radio 2 on Thursday 11 December

The midfielder's existing deal was due to expire in June, and there had been uncertainty over his future.
"I'm absolutely delighted. Everybody knows I always maintained the dream to stay," the 34-year-old said.

"I want to thank Mr Abramovich for making the dream a reality. I love this club, the staff, the players and especially the supporters."
Lampard became the club's all-time leading scorer last week, overtaking Bobby Tambling's 202-goal record.
He has made 607 appearances for Chelsea since his £11m move from West Ham in June 2001.
Ex-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is widely tipped to take over from interim manager Rafael Benitez at the end of the season.
The return of Mourinho is thought to have had a bearing on Lampard staying.
Earlier in the month, Lampard said it would be a "great thing" if Real Madrid manager Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge.
Lampard had been linked with a move to the United States, but said: "The thought of helping the club to more success in the forthcoming years is all I ever wanted. I couldn't be happier.
"We've been talking for ages, and even though it went on for quite a period it was always amicable."
Chelsea signed Lampard from West Ham in an £11m deal in 2001. He has won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and a Champions League during his time at the club.
He has scored 17 goals for Chelsea in all competitions this season - his best return since 2009-10, when he netted 27 times.
Benitez said: "Frank is a great professional. He has worked hard in every training session and now, at the end, I think we could see he has improved.
"Some people were surprised when I said that but he has scored a lot of goals in this period. Maybe it was because we were managing him quite well."
Ron Gourlay, Chelsea's chief executive, added: "Frank has been an important player for Chelsea Football Club for a long time and has played a significant part in the club's success.
'We have been talking to him since the end of last year and our discussions have been entirely positive throughout."
NICE urged doctors and patients to look again at potential risks and benefits of HRT, which some studies have linked to cancer and heart disease.
It did not say more women should use HRT, but said it could be "effective".
The health body said its report aimed to "stop women suffering in silence" from the symptoms of menopause.
In its first official guidance on the subject, NICE did not go as far as to encourage more women to use HRT but said it should not be immediately dismissed.
About 80% of women who go through the menopause experience symptoms.
And while some women need no support, NICE says others with difficult symptoms do not always get the help they need.
Looking at HRT in particular, experts said it had become a subject some women and doctors were afraid of, with some GPs overestimating the risks and some women too worried to discuss it.
Deena Mansfield, 55, from Cambridge asked for HRT to help control her symptoms but was given anti-depressants instead.
"I was told this is how we treat HRT now," she said.
"I began suffering from extreme mood swings due to a lead up to the menopause and in 2012 I had a complete breakdown, I had depression and felt suicidal.
"I am extremely embarrassed of my behaviour looking back. I had to stop work due to continual crying. I just wanted to lay in a field or throw myself in the river.
"Although the menopause is always depicted by hot flushes, it is the debilitating mood swings and loss of personality that can ruin your life.
"I wish I had pushed harder for HRT and saved myself so much grief. This would have meant my stress levels would have been much less.
"I would have been much happier and less scared and therefore much healthier and also my marriage would not have been so damaged and my children would not have seen me go so mad.
"This is a serious health issue for some women."
Prof Mary Ann Lumsden, who chairs the expert group at NICE, said: "At the moment, everyone has lost confidence in it - but we would like more confidence in explaining the treatment options, so individual women can be part of the decision making.
"What we would like is that people who need it and would benefit from it, have the option of considering it.
"There might be a bit of a rise [in people using it], there might not."
The team pointed to studies carried out in 2002 and 2003, which linked HRT to risks such as breast cancer and heart disease, and triggered a fall in prescriptions.
And while it acknowledged risks did exist, the panel said they should be weighed up in the context of benefits for each individual.
After menopause, a woman's ovaries stop producing the hormone oestrogen.
HRT treats symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and low mood by boosting the body with more female sex hormones.
There are different types of HRT - some with oestrogen only, and others containing progesterone - each with different risks.
But exactly how big these risks are has been interpreted differently over time.
Cancer Research UK says if 1,000 women start taking HRT at the age of 50 for five years, two extra women get breast cancer and one more woman gets ovarian cancer.
Dr Claire Knight, Cancer Research UK's health information manager, said it was not a straightforward issue and that women should be fully involved.
She added: "We know that using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increases the risk of developing breast, ovarian and in some cases womb cancer, but HRT can also offer effective relief from menopausal symptoms.
"What these new guidelines from NICE reiterate is that there are many factors at play in a woman's choice to use HRT or not and women need clear, evidence-based information around the risks and benefits to help them make an informed decision."
Meanwhile, Dr Imogen Shaw, a GP and member of the NICE guideline group, said: "Women should not feel they have to suffer in silence when menopause is affecting their daily lives at work and at home.
"For the last decade, some GPs have been worried about prescribing HRT, and women worried about taking it.
"I hope that this new NICE guidance will empower women to talk to their GP or practice nurse about the menopause".
The British Menopause Society backed the guidelines, saying they were long-awaited.
The Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology also supported the report, describing it as a "milestone".
But Prof Paul Pharoah, from the University of Cambridge, called for simpler guidelines, describing some aspects as hard to understand and contradictory.
Other strategies suggested by the guidance included healthy eating, exercise and cognitive behavioural therapy for low moods.
NICE's expert panel also considered "the overlooked needs" of women under the age of 40 experiencing premature menopause and those who had menopause triggered as a result of cancer treatment.
The former Tottenham trainee, 26, has scored twice in his last five games but has not featured since 1 October.

Simon Burrell, 43, who was head of Ruskin Junior School in Swindon, was convicted of fraud last year.
Burrell improperly claimed and received additional pay while at the school between January 2011 and May 2013.
A teacher misconduct panel said he had breached teaching standards in a "serious and significant way".
The panel decided that he should be prohibited from teaching for a period of at least two years.
Burrell may apply for the prohibition order to be overturned in January 2019.
He was head teacher at Ruskin School between April 2010 and August 2014.
He left the school to take up a new post as head teacher at nearby Grange Federation.
Soon after, a financial audit at the school identified some irregularities, and it began an investigation before referring the matter to the police.
Burrell was arrested on 23 December 2014, and on 8 June 2015 he was charged with fraud and forging documentation to facilitate the improper payments.
He resigned from his post at Grange Federation on 31 August 2015.
In March 2016, Burrell received a suspended 12-month sentence at Swindon Crown Court.
The chocolate firm said 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 an unexpected decline in orders from two of its major supermarket accounts hit Christmas sales.
Supply problems at its new Derbyshire warehouse also weighed on the group.
The firm, which issued a profit warning in December due to poor sales of its products in some supermarkets, said it remained "cautious" for the full year.
It said the economic environment remained "challenging" for its shoppers.
Thorntons chief executive Jonathan Hart said "there is still much to do" to turn around the group's fortunes.
"The performance of our business in the first half was not as we planned," he said.
"We continue to be cautious in our expectations for the full year. We are well positioned to take advantage of an improvement in consumer spending."
For the past three years, Thorntons has been revamping itself in order to revive its profitability, mainly by shutting unprofitable stores and increasing the volume of sales it generates via supermarkets and other stores.
It currently runs 247 shops and plans to cut that number further to between 180 and 200. | Pills seized from the home of singer Prince contained the dangerously powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl but were mislabelled, according to reports.

GWR said a power failure earlier had caused a signalling systems failure between Bath Spa and Bristol Temple Meads stations.
It has affected services between Swindon and Bristol Temple Meads and Westbury and Bristol Temple Meads.
A spokesman said the firm was "unable to source replacement road transport" and advised customers not to travel.
Several trains were cancelled, and one person reported on social media that "hundreds" of passengers had been "left stranded" in Bristol until Sunday.
Another passenger said they had been told by staff to go home because no replacement buses were available at Westbury.
Network Rail said engineers were working to repair damage to the railway's signalling system.
GWR said disruption was expected until the end of the day.
The local authority in Bath said the move would "allow the special architectural qualities" of the city to be protected.
An inspector working for Communities and Local Government agreed that allowing boards within the conservation area would have a "harmful effect".
He said boards often clashed with stonework in "sensitive settings".
The ban, which Bath and North East Somerset Council said was designed to "protect and conserve the unique heritage of the city", has been in place for 27 years.
The event in Perth, from 18-25 February, determines which rink reaches the World Championships, where Olympic qualification points are on offer.
The brothers are on opposing teams seeking to emulate sister Eve, who secured a bronze medal at Sochi 2014.
"We have got used to playing against each other," said Glen.
"We have never had to face off in a final before and that would be an interesting development and a new experience for both of us."
The brothers share a farm near Crieff in Perthshire and with only one spot at the Edmonton World Championships in April up for grabs, should one of them make it then the other can expect to be busy.
"Obviously we will wish each other well but on ice we have to have our own interests at heart and if one of us ends up on that plane to Edmonton then whoever is left behind is prepared to look after the farm," said Glen, who is part of Team Brewster, the defending national champions.
The younger Muirhead brother joked that he is prepared to do what it takes to win as part of Team Smith.
"I have learned how to wind him up over the last year so I have a few tricks up my sleeve," Thomas said.
"And in Team Smith we like being seen as the underdogs. There is less pressure and we will just fight as hard as we can to go as far as we can."
Eve Muirhead, daughter of 1999 world champion Gordon, became the youngest skip to win an Olympic curling medal in Sochi, where fellow Scot David Murdoch's rink won silver.
And Team Murdoch will also be competing at the Scottish Championships at the Dewars Centre this month.
The incident occurred in the Bruce Street area at about 18:00 on Saturday.
Police are looking for four men aged between about 18 and 25 who were seen in the area at the time. Two were wearing dark clothing and one may have been wearing a red jacket.
All four were believed to have dark hair and spoke in a foreign language.
They ran off after an unidentified woman in her 20s with dark hair intervened. The 55-year-old woman was unharmed but left shaken by the incident.
Police are keen to talk to anyone who may have witnessed the attempted robbery, in particular the woman who intervened.
Michael Olsen, 52, from Dartford, Kent, shot PC Mark Bird in the hand after he crashed his Land Rover into a traffic island and several parked cars.
PC Bird had lunged forward to protect his colleague PC Robert Wilson after Olsen, of Lavinia Road, had pulled out a handgun in Westwood Lane, Welling.
Olsen later told police he believed the gun was a toy.
The jury at Inner London Crown Court found Olsen guilty of grievous bodily harm with intent, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of ammunition with intent to endanger life and dangerous driving on Friday.
The shooting occurred shortly after 21:00 GMT on 3 October when the two officers were called to the street where Olsen's car was abandoned in the middle of the road.
They found Olsen but on approaching him he produced the gun and pointed it at PC Wilson, Scotland Yard said.
Det Con Toby Carroll, who investigated the case, said: "Olsen showed a reckless disregard throughout the evening of 3 October.
"It is only by chance that his decision to brandish and discharge a firearm at unarmed officers did not have fatal consequences, as could his behaviour behind the wheel of his car.
"His claim that the firearm was a toy was little more than pathetic. He will now spend a considerable time behind bars."
An additional aircraft will be based at Aldergrove, bringing the total to four, and the company will add more holiday destinations to its schedules.
The new routes are Naples, Madeira, Almeria, Antalya, Crete, Malta, Rhodes and Paphos.
The airport said the move will create 50 jobs.
Jet2 has been operating from Belfast International Airport for more than a decade.
During that time it has dropped a number of routes, such as Pisa, Murcia and Prague, in favour of other destinations.
Belfast International predicts it will handle a record 5.6 million passengers this year.
Most of its recent growth has been driven by the arrival of Ryanair, which began operating from Belfast International Airport last year.
Graham Keddie, the airport's managing director, said Jet2's decision to base another aircraft in Belfast was "a multi-million pound commitment".
"It is the clearest possible signal by the airline that Northern Ireland is a good place to invest," he added.
Mr Keddie had announced the latest expansion at a major airline conference in Belfast on Wednesday, but without revealing the identity of the airline involved.
In 2016, a record 7.8 million passengers used Northern Ireland's airports, but expansion of long-haul routes has been challenging against the dominance of Dublin Airport.
Ulster assistant coach Allen Clarke told BBC Sport Northern Ireland the club is aware that Tuohy "is in communication with other options".
"That is going through due process at the moment. It would probably be inaccurate for me to speculate any further," added Clarke.
Tuohy, 31, has played 136 times for Ulster and earned 11 Ireland caps.
The Bristol-born lock was already Irish-qualified when he joined Ulster from Exeter in 2009 and made his Ireland Test debut a year later against the All Blacks.
Media playback is not supported on this device
He starred against Scotland in the 2014 Six Nations when replacing injured Paul O'Connell but then suffered a broken arm in the next game against Wales.
Tuohy fractured an ankle last December and only returned to action last month.
After playing for Ulster A in late October, he started in both the Pro12 defeats by Munster and Edinburgh.
His last Ireland game came in the World Cup warm-up encounter with Scotland in August 2015 as he missed out on a place in the squad for the tournament which started a month later.
Tuohy then looked a strong contender to replace Paul O'Connell after the captain was injured in the win over France at the World Cup but coach Joe Schmidt instead called up Leinster's Mike McCarthy.
"He has been fantastic for us but has had a frustrating couple of years because of injury," added Clarke.
"I remember him as a young man arriving and what he has developed into - that experience is precious.
"But if he is to move on, it opens up an avenue for someone else and we've got some good young locks in Ulster."

Guardiola said he had been "comfortable" at Bayern Munich, but wanted another test in his career.
The Spaniard, 45, also admitted he had "absolutely everything" at Barcelona.
When asked if he could play beautiful football in the tiki-taka style made famous at Barcelona, Guardiola said: "That's why I'm here."
Speaking to the English press for the first time since taking over at City, he added: "I never played on a Boxing Day. I have never been to a stadium where it is windy and freezing and the pitch is not good.
"It's a target for me. I'm here to prove myself and prove I can play [the same way]."
Guardiola, who referenced Sunderland manager "Big Sam" Allardyce as one of the contrasts of the English game to football in Spain and Germany, said what he wants from his players is "simple".
"When we have the ball, we want them to move it as quick as possible and create as many chances as possible," added the former Barcelona player, who denied this will be his toughest managerial test yet.
"I am just focusing on my players and what they have to do on the pitch, which is why I decided to come here.
"In the Champions League with Barcelona and Bayern Munich we came to England a lot and we always thought 'wow'. It's a target for me and a personal ambition of mine to prove myself here."
Guardiola, who began his managerial career with Barcelona B, said he is impressed with City's facilities and is keen to work with the club's young players.
However, he has told the senior squad at the Etihad he is "counting on them all" - including captain Vincent Kompany and former Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure.
"I love to work with young players," he added. "Having worked here one week, I'm really impressed with their quality.
"My dream for Kompany is for him to be fit. He's a magnificent defender, but when I spoke to him I said just focus on your body.
"We're going to try and be more consistent in our game. Maybe we're not going to win every day. But we are going to try."
City start their Premier League campaign at home to Sunderland on 13 August.
Greg Duffy accused Tony Fadell of "insulting" Dropcam employees who had joined Nest as part of the takeover.
He also suggested Mr Fadell had "fetishised" some of the worst traits of Apple's Steve Jobs.
Neither Nest nor its owner Alphabet - Google's parent - have responded.
But in an interview published by the Information news site last week, Mr Fadell was quoted as saying: "A lot of [Dropcam's] employees were not as good as we hoped. It was a very small team and unfortunately it wasn't a very experienced team."
The article said Nest later clarified that this only referred to Dropcam employees who had left the business following the merger.
Mr Duffy is among their number.
One expert called the affair "embarrassing".
"American corporates are usually surprisingly discreet and manage to keep grief hidden behind their walls," commented Matthew Gwyther, editor of Management Today.
"You've obviously got an enormous personality ego clash between the two men.
"But I bet this kind of thing is far more common than we normally hear."
Mr Duffy said he posted his thoughts to Medium's site to "set the record straight".
"The 50 Dropcam employees who resigned did so because they felt their ability to build great products being totally crushed," he said.
"All of us have worked at big companies before, where it is harder to move fast. But this is something different, as evidenced by the continued lack of output from the currently 1,200-person team and its virtually unlimited budget.
"According to LinkedIn, total attrition to date at Nest amounts to nearly 500 people, which suggests that we were not alone in our frustrations."
He also challenged Mr Fadell to publish Nest's accounts to reveal how well its internet cameras were faring compared to its smart thermostats and net-connected smoke alarms.
And he attacked Mr Fadell's management style.
"The current leadership of Nest... seems to be fetishising only the most superfluous and negative traits of their mentors. For the sake of the customers and for the talented employees that remain there, I hope they find a way through these struggles."
This appears to be a reference to Mr Fadell's time working alongside Apple's late chief executive Steve Jobs. The two - along with others - developed first the iPod and then the iPhone.
"I've built a lot of my success off finding these truly gifted people and not settling for B and C players, but really going for the A players," Mr Jobs said in an interview.
Apple's co-founder famously added that settling for B players risked creating a "bozo explosion... that kind of company never ever succeeds".
According to the Information, Mr Fadell and Mr Duffy repeatedly clashed in the brief time they worked together.
Mr Fadell recalls telling Mr Duffy he had not "earned" the right to report directly to him.
In turn, Mr Duffy says he told Nest's co-founder that he was running the division like "a tyrant bureaucrat".
It is also reported that Mr Duffy tried and failed to convince Alphabet's chief executive Larry Page to sack Mr Fadell and let him take charge.
Mr Duffy says he now thinks it was a "mistake" to have sold his firm to Nest for $555m (£385m).
"Larry Page is said to be a friend of Fadell, but he would do very well to stay completely out of it," remarked Mr Gwyther.
"It looks terrible to appear to be taking sides against people in your organisation.
"But the wider affair is a reflection of the incredibly high expectations that there are of these tech companies - that you think stuff will happen very quickly and work pretty fast.
"But it's a reminder that it's not always straightforward, and there can be stumbles along the way when trying to create new products."
The 29-year-old DR Congo centre-back made 252 appearances in two spells, having initially joined Posh in 2008.
Fellow defenders Shaun Brisley and Andrew Fox and strikers Souleymane Coulibaly, Kyle Vassell and Jack Friend have also left the club.
South Africa left-back Kgosi Ntlhe is available for a move after rejecting two contract offers.
Director of football Barry Fry said: "I would especially like to thank Gabi Zakuani, who has been a magnificent servant both on and off the pitch to Peterborough United.
"I would like to wish him every success in furthering his career. I am sure he will have plenty of options."
Ben Alnwick, Harry Anderson, Dion-Curtis Henry, Erhun Oztumer, Jack Payne, Ricardo Santos, Michael Smith and Jon Taylor are all entering the final year of their contracts.
Posh's club policy is to transfer-list players in those circumstances, but, if Graham Westley's replacement as manager wants any or all of the eight players to have an extension, then negotiations will take place.
After his extradition, he appeared in court in New York, where he pleaded not guilty.
He was among seven officials from world football's governing body, Fifa, who were arrested in Switzerland in May.
He is accused of taking bribes worth millions of dollars from sports marketing companies in connection with the Copa America and Copa do Brasil.
If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison.
The Swiss authorities say he was accompanied by US police officers on a flight from Zurich to New York.
The US has indicted a total of 14 current and former Fifa officials and associates on charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption following a major inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Fifa's President, Sepp Blatter, has always denied any wrongdoing - but in September, he too was made the subject of a Swiss criminal investigation, launched alongside the US inquiry.
In an interview with the newspaper al-Hayat, Mr Brahimi warned of a scenario in which warlords and militia filled a void left by a collapsed state.
Somalia has been without an effective central government since 1991.
Meanwhile, the UK said it would support offering President Bashar al-Assad a safe exit if it ended the bloodshed.
Prime Minister David Cameron told al-Arabiya TV that the international community should consider anything "to get that man out of the country".
But he also said he would favour Mr Assad "facing the full force of international law and justice for what he has done".
Mr Brahimi, who succeeded Kofi Annan as the international envoy to Syria in August, spoke to al-Hayat a week after the failure of the four-day ceasefire he brokered to coincide with the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha.
In the interview, the Algerian diplomat played down the risk of sectarian and ethnic partition - which some observers have suggested could see President Assad's powerful Alawite minority forming a state in Syria's north-east - warning that the country faced something worse.
"People are talking about the risk of partition in Syria. I do not see partition," Mr Brahimi said.
"I believe that if this issue is not dealt with correctly, the danger is 'Somalisation' and not partition - the collapse of the state and the emergence of warlords, militias and fighting groups," he added.
Years of fighting in Somalia between rival clans and warlords, and an inability to deal with famine and disease, have led to the deaths of up to a million people since President Siad Barre was toppled in 1991.
Mr Brahimi said he was seeking a binding resolution from the UN Security Council based on the guidelines for a political transition which were agreed in Geneva in June by the so-called Action Group for Syria.
"Everyone must face a bitter, difficult and scary truth: that this type of crisis - if not dealt with correctly day by day - can go on for a year, two years and more," he said. "I hope that it doesn't go on for this period, and it might not if everyone inside and outside [Syria] does what he should."
On Tuesday, clashes, shelling, explosions and air raids were reported in different parts of Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based activist group, said seven people had been killed by government air raids in the Houla region of Homs province, and that eight people had died after troops shelled the town of Saraqeb in Idlib province.
Seven civilians were also killed when warplanes bombed the south-eastern Damascus suburb of Kafarbatna, it added.
Later, there was a bomb explosion in the Waroud area of Qudsaya, a north-western suburb of the capital populated mostly by Alawites.
The SOHR said at least 10 civilians had been killed and more than 40 wounded when three devices were detonated. The official Sana news agency said several people had died.
Earlier, Sana said Mohammed Osama Lahm, the brother of the speaker of the People's Assembly, had been shot dead in the Midan district.
The Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency meanwhile said seven Syrian generals had been given refuge after being allowed to cross the border near the town of Reyhanli, in Hatay province.
The generals have reportedly been sent to the nearby Apaydin refugee camp - a well-guarded facility built on farmland which houses other former Syrian army officers. Their identities and ranks were not released.
In Jordan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held talks with Riad Hijab, a former Syrian prime minister who defected in August.
He urged the opposition to abandon its precondition that the president had to step down before any peace talks can be held.
Mr Hijab later told al-Arabiya that Russia was "searching for a political solution in which Bashar al-Assad stays". This, he said, was "impossible".
Molly Rose delivered 486 aircraft, including 273 Spitfires, after joining the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in 1942.
About 170 women were part of the ATA, which flew aircraft from factories to the RAF.
Ms Rose died last month while on vacation in Scotland, aged 95. Her service was held in Bampton.
She was born in Cambridge in 1920 and learned to fly at 17 having left school and joined her family's motoring business based at an airfield.
Her son Graham Rose said: "Very often they would be getting into a particular aircraft for the first time.
"She did love it, there is no doubt, and she did it very well, she only crash-landed once.
"There was engine failure, she was up in Shropshire... went into a bit of a spin... and there was some poor farmer who was ploughing the field who got a mighty shock."
On a visit to RAF Brize Norton in 2013, Ms Rose said: "It was much more interesting in my day because one was entirely in control of the airplane.
"They do not really fly it these days - it's all computers."
Mr Rose said his mother did not talk about the work until Giles Wittell wrote the book Spitfire Women, but later she appeared on a number of programmes about it and was a guest judge in The Great British Menu in 2014.
After the war she settled in Oxford with her husband Bernard and became a magistrate.
She was appointed deputy lieutenant for Oxfordshire in 1983 and was awarded an OBE for services to Oxfordshire in 1990.
Mr Rose said the service at St Mary's Church was a "celebration".
Coleman, appointed in 2012, has held tentative talks about a new contract.
But with Wales top of Group B ahead of September's double-header against Cyprus and Israel, the 45-year-old is waiting until qualification is secured.
"If that happens - and I believe it will - then we can sit down and talk about me signing a new contract," said Coleman.
Wales' 1-0 win against Belgium in June has given them an excellent opportunity of qualifying for a first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.
Coleman's side are three points clear of second-placed Belgium in Group B, knowing that victories against Cyprus and Israel coupled with a failure from Bosnia-Herzegovina to win in Belgium would guarantee their passage to Euro 2016.
Wales' recent success earned them top-seed status and a relatively favourable draw for their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.
It was after July's draw in St Petersburg where Coleman and the Football Association of Wales first broached the subject of a new contract.
"We all went out for dinner while we were there and had a chat," said Coleman.
"My reason for not wanting to get into negotiations about a new contract is because all I think about is doing this first part of the job, and that's qualifying for France.
"Managing Wales, I've always said that is the biggest job I'll ever have. It's the biggest honour I'll ever have as a manager no matter what happens to me afterwards.
"I don't want to give that up lightly - of course I don't. Nevertheless I still want to make sure we get this job done.
"That means keeping our focus on this campaign and not worrying about the next one."
The State Internet Information Office will take over responsibility from a number of lower-ranking directorates.
The new set-up will enable the government to keep a tighter grip on the content available to Chinese internet-users inside the country.
Beijing operates vast internet censorship, dubbed the "great firewall of China". Websites deemed sensitive by the government are routinely blocked.
The Chinese government has put a lot of resources into controlling and censoring the internet content available to its citizens.
Until now, the responsibility fell to the country's Information Office and quite a few other agencies across various government ministries.
There was often in-fighting as each tried to wield power over what was allowed on the internet, from online games to politically sensitive content.
The newly-created State Internet Information Office brings technical and political control over the internet under one body, with Information Minister Wang Chen in charge.
This in effect gives his ministry more power than the other agencies involved.
This indicates that online news and information, new media business and internet access will most likely come under tighter control, as the government clamps down on dissent following the Jasmine Revolution in the Middle East and north Africa.
At the same time, the government hopes to use the internet to promote itself both at home and abroad.
The incident happened on Townhall Street on Friday.
The NI Ambulance Service (NIAS) said five people were taken to the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen.
The NIAS said the incident involved a car and four pedestrians - their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
William Prescott, whose wife owns a restaurant which is located close to the scene of the crash, described what had happened as a "freak accident" and said "everyone had been shocked".
"I'm just happy and relieved that no-one was seriously injured or killed," he said.
"The town was choc-a-bloc in the aftermath of the crash but the road has re-opened and things have returned to normal."
Mr Prescott said a construction firm was currently working to board up the window of Boots.
BBC News NI's Louise Cullen, who is at the scene, said a building control officer was at Boots assessing the damage.
Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the accident to contact them. Townhall Street was closed for a time but has reopened.
Officers recovered 40kg of cannabis resin, 1kg of cocaine and 25kg of a mixing agent used to cut it down in a County Tyrone lay-by on Saturday.
They seized the drugs after observing a lorry and a car pull into the lay-by between Dungannon and Ballygawley.
More drugs and cash were seized in follow-up searches.
In Desertmartin, 11kg of cannabis resin and 3kg of herbal cannabis were found at a house.
Searches at a number of properties in Cookstown led to £82,000 in cash being recovered.
On Monday, three men appeared in court in Enniskillen - including a father and son - to face a number of drugs charges.
Paul Joseph Currie, 53, from Limekiln Lane in Cookstown, faces three charges; Stephen Currie, 29, from Old Park Mews, Cookstown, and Darren William Fredrick Loughlin, 39, from Gortacar Road in Kesh, each face six charges.
A detective told the court that police observed a lorry driven by Mr Loughlin that had arrived in Northern Ireland from Scotland by ferry on Saturday morning.
They watched as the lorry pulled over in the Killymaddy tourist amenity near Ballygawley and a silver Peugeot car, driven by Stephen Currie, drove alongside.
The detective told the court that drugs were removed from the cab of the lorry and placed in the boot of the car.
At the same time police stopped Paul Currie after he left a property in Park Avenue in Cookstown.
The detective told the court that £2,000 was found in his car and £80,000 in cash inside the property.
It was also revealed that searches of a property at Luney Lane in Desertmartin, rented by Stephen Currie, had uncovered 11kg of cannabis resin, 3kg of herbal cannabis, a vacuum-pack machine, weighing scales and a grinder.
He said police believed the three men were involved in bringing large quantities of drugs into Northern Ireland for distribution.
The officer said that the 1kg of cocaine had a street value of about £60,000, but when cut with the 25kg of the mixing agent it would have a potential value of £1.5m.
The 50kg of cannabis resin had a value of £500,000 and the 3kg of herbal cannabis £40,000, the detective added.
When questioned at a Belfast police station, Paul and Stephen Currie gave "no comment" interviews.
Mr Loughlin admitted that he had driven the lorry to Ballygawley, but denied any knowledge of the drugs, or his co-accused.
His solicitor applied for bail and said that his family, who were in the court, were "shocked" that he had been arrested for this.
He said he was married with three children and, as the main bread-winner, they were very concerned that they could lose their house.
The judge said he was satisfied that there was sufficient evidence for him to be charged and he refused bail on the grounds of the risk of further offences.
The judge said "anyone who involves themselves in the illegal possession and importation of drugs can expect to be dealt with vigorously by the courts, particularly given the value and quantities involved in this case".
Mr Loughlin was remanded into custody until 7 December.
Paul and Stephen Currie did not apply for bail, but their solicitor asked that they appear by videolink at Dungannon Court on Wednesday 16 November.
Crews were called to an area of land near Concraig Gardens, Kingswells, at about 10:30 on Saturday.
Three fire appliances and two specialist forestry units were at the scene at the height of the incident, using jets to tackle the blaze.
The fire was extinguished by about 18:20.
Its shares dived more than 14% after it said sales fell 0.4% in the run-up to Christmas and added full-year profits would be at the low end of forecasts.
Next also warned that 2017 would be "another challenging year", and predicted a fall in profits.
The news hit shares in other retailers, with M&S down 6.1% and Primark owner Associated British Foods dropping 3.7%.
The falls weighed on the FTSE 100. The UK's benchmark index had closed at a record high on Tuesday, but spent most of the day in negative territory. However, at the close it was up 11.85 points to another record high at 7,189.74.
Shares in housebuilders helped to bolster the index after upbeat comments from Deutsche Bank. Barratt Developments rose 4%, while Persimmon and Taylor Wimpey were 2.8% and 3.8% higher respectively.
In the FTSE 250, B&M shares rose nearly 9.5% after the discount retailer reported a 7.2% increase in UK like-for-like sales in the three months to 24 December.
On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.45% against the dollar to $1.2293 and slipped 0.29% against the euro to €1.1727.
A new social media trend has kicked off in China, with thousands of netizens uploading photographs of themselves showing off their bodies and undertaking the challenge.
Popular among many young female users on Weibo, the trending topic - which translates as "reaching your belly button from behind to show your good figure" - was mentioned more than 130m times among Weibo readers.
It also spawned 104,000 active discussion threads, but has also led to concern about whether it's promoting an unhealthy body image.
"Look! Success. More than four hours and I've finally reached my belly button," said Weibo user GayleRabbit.
Another user remarked: "Whoa. Why does my belly button suddenly look and feel brand new?"
While the trend was dominated by many female users on Weibo, a photo uploaded by a male blogger took the microblogging community by storm.
"Is this trend really that difficult? I don't think so," said Weibo user Sough Sa.
His photo showcasing his attempt at touching his belly button, drew 2,634 likes and was shared more than 8,452 times.
It also drew more than 2,000 comments from other users on Weibo.
"You go Buddha! Show the skinny girls how it's done," said one user.
Weibo user MedicalCream Tang Zhao said: "Now you did it! So don't lose weight and please stay the same."
"I always root for the underdog. Now I don't feel so inadequate about not being able to touch my belly button," said another user.
"Does one need to have flexible arms? Or a skinny waist to pull this off?" asked Weibo user Chantilly623.
But some experts argued that China's new belly button trend bordered on promoting eating disorders and "distorting" society's standards of beauty.
"Quirky poses and pictures can be fun but sometimes they also become expressions of competitiveness or insecurity," said Jolene Tan, Programmes and Communications Senior Manager at Aware, a non-governmental organisation in Singapore championing women's rights.
She also told the BBC that the trend seemed to be "one more way of scrutinising women's bodies to see whether they are 'good enough'".
"We need to do more to promote acceptance of diversity in women's bodies."
Up to 60% of homes on the 53-acre Mill development will be affordable housing.
Funding for the scheme - where Arjo Wiggins paper mill once stood - is coming from the Welsh government and Principality Building Society.
Economy Minister Edwina Hart said the plans would have a "considerable economic impact" on the region.

Clement became the Swans' third boss of the season after replacing Bob Bradley, who had been in charge after Francesco Guidolin was sacked in October.
The club were bottom when Clement arrived but are now safe after Hull City lost at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The former Derby County boss has won 26 points from his 19 games in charge.
If the Premier League table was only calculated from when Clement took over, the Swans would be seventh.
Clement won manager of the month in January after winning three of his first five games in charge, but his side went six games without a win through March and April as they slipped back into a relegation battle.
Wins against Stoke, Everton and Sunderland as well as a well-earned 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford helped turn their season around and helped them to safety.
Meanwhile, title-winning Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, Burnley boss Sean Dyche, West Bromwich Albion's Tony Pulis and Bournemouth's Eddie Howe have also been nominated for the award.
Film-makers Harvey Weinstein and Shane Salerno announced they were making the changes to their film in a press release, Hollywood Reporter said.
The film was released earlier this month, but it is unusual for a movie to be edited after it has hit cinemas.
The new version is billed as a "special edition", the trade paper said.
It replaced the original cut at the weekend as the film expanded into "more than 60 markets across the US" after its initial run in New York and Los Angeles.
It added about 13 minutes of the original film were cut, while about eight minutes of new material was added, including "additional interview time with Joyce Maynard, who had a relationship with Salinger when she was 18 and he was 53".
There also is new footage of the author and the overall film is said to be five minutes shorter.
Hollywood Reporter said the original cut of the film "disappoints on many counts", adding "the picture ultimately turns out to be less revelatory than all the advance publicity promises". The Washington Post described it as "plodding and mostly pointless".
"Broad yet shallow" is how Variety reviewed the movie, stating it was "difficult to get past the film's restless, ill-fittingly bombastic style".
The documentary is being released at the same time as a new biography of Salinger, written by Salerno and David Shields, while the Weinstein Company is also developing a biopic about Salinger which will be written by Salerno.
It will focus on the writer's life, from serving in World War II to the publication of Catcher in 1951.
Salinger's only published novel, The Catcher in the Rye is a tale of teenage angst which has gone on to become one of the most influential American novels of the modern era.
He followed it with a collection of short stories and several novellas but stopped publishing in 1965 and withdrew from public view. He is understood to have continued writing before his death in 2010.
The drills, called Balikatan (Shoulder to Shoulder), take place every year.
These exercises come a week after a military pact to increase the US troop presence in the country was signed.
Visiting Manila last week, US President Barack Obama pledged "ironclad" backing for the Philippines, which is engaged in a maritime dispute with China.
The two countries have competing claims over a number of islands and shoals in the South China Sea, such as Second Thomas Shoal and Scarborough Shoal.
The South East Asian nation has asked a United Nations arbitration tribunal to rule on the issue.
At Balikatan's opening ceremony, Filipino Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said it was necessary to deal with "aggressive" neighbours intent on "changing the status quo", without mentioning China.
He said the 10-day drills would focus on maritime capabilities. They would also include live-fire and maritime surveillance exercises, the Philippine military said.
Its public affairs office chief, Ramon Zagala, however, sought to play down Balikatan's significance, saying it was "not related to any current situation".
Instead, it was aimed at improving "tactical-level military proficiency" and enhancing US-Filipino co-operation, he said. The military exercise would also focus on humanitarian assistance and disaster response.
Military personnel from both countries will offer free medical, dental and veterinary care in Legazpi City, and build and repair infrastructure such as schools in Bicol.
As tensions with China have grown, the US and the Philippines have moved to increase co-operation.
Last week, Washington and Manila signed a deal allowing US troops better access to military bases, ports and airfields.
This exercise comes amid reports China has sent more ships to an area disputed with the Philippines.
Over the weekend, Philippine media reported the sighting of more Chinese vessels near Second Thomas Shoal, as the Philippine military air-dropped provisions to its troops stationed on a rusting vessel beached there.
Meanwhile, Vietnam has protested against a plan by China to move its first deep-water drilling rig into an area which Vietnam claims as its territory.
China's maritime safety authority announced on Saturday that the oil rig Haiyang Shiyou 981 would be drilling in an area located 120 nautical miles off the coast of Vietnam until 15 August.
It prohibited ships from entering within one mile of the rig.
On Sunday, Vietnam's foreign ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh insisted that this area belonged to them.
Any activity by foreign countries conducted in Vietnam's waters without its permission would be considered "illegal and worthless" and would be "resolutely opposed" by Vietnam's government, he said.
State oil and gas group PetroVietnam also sent a letter of objection to China's state-run oil company CNOOC, demanding they immediately pull out the rig.
In response, China on Monday expanded the prohibited area to three miles.
The Tonga international was already the oldest player to have pulled on a shirt in the Pro12 (Now Pro14) before accepting a new one year contract with the Wales region.
He should overtake Brad Thorn's Aviva Premiership age record of 40 years and 109 days during the season, making him the oldest top-flight professional player in British rugby history.
"I am happy with my contract and I think I have one last year," said Filise, before adding "But this is the last one, 40 is too old for this game!"
Filise was born in Malapo, Tonga, on 26 May 1977 during the final years of Welsh rugby's golden era.
After growing up in Tonga, he joined the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand and later the Auckland Blues Super Rugby side, where he played alongside former Cardiff Blues number eight Xavier Rush.
His 29 Tonga appearances included the 2007 and 2011 Rugby World Cups before concentrating on the final part of his career in Wales.
Filise has made a record 241 appearances for the Blues since his arrival from Bath in 2006, but he says his age doesn't cross his mind.
"I didn't think about getting to 40, I just kept going every year," said Filise.
"I feel my body is still fit. I have been fortunate on the injury front. I am just training harder and looking after the body. I still feel fresh to go."
Age is clearly not an issue for Blues coach Danny Wilson either, with Filise's front-row colleague Matthew Rees - a relative novice at merely 36 - also among six players accepting contract extensions at the region.
With prop and captain Gethin Jenkins also 36, this particular regional front-row will have a combined age of 112.
Jenkins is recovering from minor knee surgery in the summer and will miss the start of the campaign but could soon be reunited with Filise and Rees.
"I feel as if I am the same age (as Jenkins and Rees)," added Filise.
"The young Blues props are also full of energy, but I try to compete with them.
"I try and look after them because they are the future for the region. I am happy to be playing with them and know they are strong."
Wilson insists Filise has earned his new contract on merit after a powerful end to the season typified by his outstanding performance against the Ospreys at Judgement Day at the Principality Stadium.
"He is still doing a great job and playing well," said Wilson.
"He is our most consistent scrummaging tight-head.
"In some of the big high speed intensity games towards the end of last season he delivered really good performances.
"We manage him in a certain way and make sure training-wise he does the required amount and no more.
"He is in great nick and still making the test scores that are relevant to be a professional rugby player at this level.
"He is a popular man in the squad and another part of his role is to impart that knowledge to some of those young props coming through our system."
The Wicklow runner produced the second fastest time of her career with 31.30.74 which was just seven seconds outside of the bronze medal.
David Gillick was unable to turn back the clock as he finished 22nd of the 23 runners in the 400m heats in Amsterdam.
Gillick's time of 47.81 seconds was 1.37 outside his 2016 best.
The 2009 world finalist retired from the sport two years ago after struggling for form since 2011.
The 32-year-old will be in action in the relay over the weekend when he hopes to help Ireland achieve Olympic qualification.
"It's great to be back here given where I've come from," continued the Irish 400m record holder.
On lifetime bests, Fionnuala McCormack was third fastest of the hopefuls with her 31:29.22 clocking but was regarded as an outsider for a medal, yet defied expectations with a season's best time.
It was another four-place finish, however, the same position she finished at the 2012 European Championships in Helsinki.
Kenyan-born Yasemin Can, who took up Turkish citizenship 15 months ago, won gold in 31.12.86.
Ireland's Tara Jameson finished in 14th place.
Thomas Barr qualified for the semi-finals of the 400m hurdles with a season's best time of 50.17.
The Waterford man was second fastest in the heats, with Slovakia's Martin Kucera quickest in 49.56.
Barr's season has been affected by injury and the time is still some way off his national record of 48.65.
Paul Byrne failed to qualify with a time of 53.12.
Gillick's team-mate Brian Gregan did secure a semi-finals spot as he time of 47.02 left him 11th fastest as none of the competitors managed to duck under 46 seconds in the windy conditions.
Gregan finished fifth in the heat won by Britain's Martyn Rooney (46.57) but the third Irish entrant Craig Lynch exited as clocking 47.61.
In the women's 400m, Sinead Denny progressed after a third place in 53.95 saw her achieving automatic qualification but Claire Mooney exited following a 55.66 clocking which left her seventh in her heat.
Siofra Cleirigh-Buttner finished 0.07 seconds outside of progressing to the next round of the 800m after an impressive senior championship debut, clocking 2.04.97.
Northern Ireland's Olympic Games qualifiers Ciara Mageean and Kerry O'Flaherty will not open their Amsterdam challenges until Friday when Christine McMahon and Ben Reynolds will also be in action.
Other Rio-bound Northern Ireland athletes Paul Pollock, Kevin Seaward and Breege Connolly will run in the half-marathon events on Sunday as part of an Irish squad which will also include North Belfast's Glady Ganiel.
The ICC will analyse alleged crimes attributed to UK armed forces deployed in Iraq between 2003 and 2008.
Attorney General Dominic Grieve said the government "completely rejects" the claim that UK forces were responsible for systematic abuse.
This will be the first time the UK has been the subject of an ICC probe.
The head of the military prosecution body in the UK, Andrew Cayley, said it would co-operate.
But he said he believed it was unlikely that the ICC would push for a full, formal investigation, as the British government was already investigating claims of abuse in Iraq.
By Jonathan BealeDefence correspondent, BBC News
There'll be a mixture of emotions in government to today's news.
There'll be anger, frustration as well as a sense of embarrassment.
When Britain signed up to the International Criminal Court it would not have envisaged itself being the subject of any investigation - albeit the earliest "preliminary examination" stage.
Britain joins the likes of Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Guinea and Georgia.
Even though this is not an ICC "formal investigation", at least yet, it's still a significant victory for the Human Rights Lawyer Phil Shiner and his firm Public Interest Lawyers.
He's long argued that British forces were involved in the systematic abuse of Iraqis.
He believes that mistreatment - some of which has been proven - was allowed by senior military officers and even ministers.
In other words that it wasn't just a "few bad apples".
The anger in the MOD and the military will be directed at Mr Shiner more than the ICC. They feel he's dragging the British military's reputation through the mud.
The decision by ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to reopen the investigation, which was previously concluded in 2006, comes after a 250-page dossier of new information was submitted in January.
The dossier was submitted by the British law firm Public Interest Lawyers - headed by human rights lawyer Phil Shiner, who has been involved in a number of high-profile cases of allegations of British military personnel mistreating detainees in Iraq - and the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights, based in Germany.
It contained evidence of what they said was more than 400 cases of mistreatment or unlawful killings.
Among those named in the file are former defence secretary Geoff Hoon and former armed forces minister Adam Ingram.
The ICC in the Hague has jurisdiction over alleged crimes committed in Iraq by nationals of state parties under the Rome Statute.
During the preliminary examination, the prosecutor will consider issues of jurisdiction, admissibility and the interests of justice to decide whether to open a full investigation.
In a statement, the attorney general said he would co-operate fully with the ICC to demonstrate that "British justice is following its proper course".
He said: "The government completely rejects the allegation that there was systematic abuse carried out by the British armed forces in Iraq.
"British troops are some of the best in the world and we expect them to operate to the highest standards, in line with both domestic and international law.
"In my experience the vast majority of our armed forces meet those expectations. Where allegations have been made that individuals may have broken those laws, they are being comprehensively investigated."
Mr Grieve added that he believed the work of inquiry teams to be "independent, robust and meticulous", and with the resources they need to do the job properly.
He said it was his job to ensure that continues to be the case.
"As the minister responsible for overseeing the UK's prosecutors, I understand the importance of the ICC prosecutor following the proper legal procedures when complaints are made," Mr Grieve said.
"The UK government has been, and remains a strong supporter of the ICC and I will provide the Office of the Prosecutor with whatever is necessary to demonstrate that British justice is following its proper course."
According to the Statute of Rome, which established the ICC, the court may only intervene in cases where there is no effective investigation being carried out by the national authorities.
Mr Cayley, director of the Service Prosecuting Authority, said an inquiry was already under way through the Iraq Historical Allegations Team (IHAT), which was set up in 2010.
"If the ICC is satisfied that the United Kingdom is genuinely investigating these crimes, they will allow us to do that," Mr Cayley said.
"They may go on monitoring us for a number years in respect of investigations and prosecutions but they will not intervene."
He said it was for the prosecutor of the ICC to determine this, adding: "But I am confident based on the work that I've seen that IHAT has been doing, that the court will find that these are genuine criminal investigations that are taking place and they won't take it any further."
Unlike other kits, these tests do not need to be sent off to a lab to get the results.
It works by detecting antibodies on a small drop of blood, which are often only detectable three months after the infection is caught.
Experts warn that any positive tests must be reconfirmed at clinics.
Charities hope it will reduce some of the 26,000 people estimated to have undiagnosed HIV in the UK.
An early diagnosis allows people to get treatment quickly and can prevent serious complications. And individuals successfully treated for HIV are less likely to pass the infection on.
This new "do-it-yourself" test is made by company Bio Sure UK and can be bought online.
It works in a similar way to a pregnancy test, measuring levels of antibodies - proteins made in response to the virus - in a person's blood.
The device analyses a small droplet of blood, taken from the finger-tip using a lancet. Two purple lines appear if it is positive.
The company recommends attending sexual health clinics for advice and further blood tests if both lines appear.
And even if the test is negative experts say it does not mean people are definitely virus free - especially if exposure occurred within the last three months.
The three-month window period, between the moment someone catches the infection and the time it can take for antibodies to develop, means the kit is not reliable during this time.
Charities have welcomed the test and hope it will encourage more people to get checks - particularly those reluctant to go to clinics in the first instance.
Dr Rosemary Gillespie, chief executive at Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "We campaigned for a long time to secure the legalisation of HIV self-test kits which happened in April 2014, so it is great to see the first self-test kits being approved.
"However, it is important to make sure people can get quick access to support when they get their result."
Shaun Griffin, also at the charity, said: "At the moment there are funding challenges throughout the NHS, including for sexual health services.
"It is absolutely critical that people have access to HIV tests and advice they need."
Free HIV tests are available across the NHS.
In Northern Ireland ministers are considering legal changes to allow the sale of home testing kits.
The 34-year-old striker was sold to Bournemouth by the Addicks in January 2014, shortly after Belgian businessman Roland Duchatelet took over the club.
"I wanted to sign a new deal and stay longer at the club," Kermorgant said.
"In my first meeting with the new owners I found out things were completely different. They had a vision which, for me, was completely deluded."
Kermorgant, now at Reading, scored 32 goals in 96 appearances for Charlton between 2011 and 2014 and helped the Addicks win the League One title in 2012.
Charlton supporters have recently aimed protests at Duchatelet, with fans angry at how he runs the club, the turnover of managers at The Valley and the club's recruitment policy.
"I'm gutted," Kermorgant added. "I think they have wasted the club.
"They didn't know too much about football. I felt like they were wrong and they would be in trouble because football is different to business.
"It looked to me like their position was a bit weird."
The south-east London club are currently bottom of the Championship table, seven points from safety and with a goal difference of minus 34.
Charlton skipper Johnnie Jackson has said surviving relegation would be like winning a trophy, but Kermorgant is not so optimistic about his former club's chances of remaining in the second tier.
"Two years after I can see where they are and I think it was the right decision [to leave]," the Frenchman added.
"They are bottom of the league and I can't see them not being relegated at the end of the season.
"The club and the fans are great. It's a nice, family club and to see what they have done is very annoying."
Resuming on 363-4 on day three of the second and final Test, Australia posted 505, a lead of 135 despite Neil Wagner's 6-106 at the Hagley Oval.
New Zealand reached 121-4 by the close as James Pattinson took 3-29.
Kane Williamson, unbeaten on 45, is the hosts' best hope of salvaging anything other than defeat.
Australia, who lead 1-0, need only draw this match to regain the number one Test ranking.
McCullum, who scored the fastest Test century in the first innings, was superbly caught by a diving David Warner at mid-wicket as he charged at Josh Hazlewood.
The 34-year-old's last Test runs came from a characteristic six - the 107th of his career, more than anyone else in the format.
He received a standing ovation from the crowd at the start of his innings and again after he was dismissed.
McCullum, who made his debut in 2004, will retire with 6,453 Test runs at an average of 38.64 from 101 matches, a tally bettered only by Stephen Fleming.
Earlier, left-arm seamer Wagner claimed his second Test five-wicket haul as Australia lost their last five wickets for 39 runs.

Chris, named after wildlife presenter Chris Packham, has provided satellite tag data for the Norfolk-based British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) since 2011.
It left the UK on 4 July but poor signals have led the BTO to conclude the bird is "missing in action".
Mr Packham said Chris's data was vital to help understand cuckoos' decline.
The UK cuckoo population has declined by 65% in the last 25 years, the trust said.
Chris is one of 16 being tracked as they make the 5,000-mile journey south to Africa for the winter.
However, the five-year-old had been the only one to have consistently provided UK scientists with migration data since being fitted with a solar-powered satellite-tracking tag.
"Chris has given pioneering insights into cuckoo wintering grounds, migration routes and speed of travel," a spokesman for the trust said.
Drought conditions in northern Italy may be to blame for the lack of data being sent back and a loss of signal from Chris's backpack, he said.
"The lack of rain is likely to have limited vegetation growth and reduced the availability of caterpillars, the preferred food of cuckoos.
"This is bad news for those British birds that use this area to fatten up, providing them with the energy to make a successful crossing of the Sahara Desert."
The last "good quality" signal from the bird was received on 3 August in northern Italy. Signals described as "sketchy" suggest he may have made it to Northern Chad by 8 August.
Bronze fired into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area as England battled against Norway.
Solveig Gulbrandsen's opener had given the Norwegians a lead, but Steph Houghton equalised with a header from a corner before Bronze's winner.
At the end of the match the substitutes ran on to the pitch to join their team-mates in celebrating the victory.
It is the first time England have won a knockout match at the Women's World Cup.
England now have the opportunity to better the quarter-final defeats suffered in each of their three previous World Cups.
They'll play Canada in Vancouver on Sunday.
The Welsh Local Government Association also wants food outlets to be banned from being within 400m of schools.
These proposals are part of its manifesto for the next Welsh government.
A budget shortfall of £941m for councils by 2020 has been predicted by the WLGA.
As part of its proposals, the organisation said proceeds of the 5p levy on plastic bags should be spent on front-line services, raising up to £22m.
It also wants responsibility for public health services to be given to Welsh councils, as has happened in England.
A preventative care fund, paid for by money owed to the Welsh government as part of a UK government commitment to increase spending on the English NHS, should be set up to pay for services aimed at keeping people healthy and out of hospital, it has said.
WLGA leader Bob Wellington said: "As local government leaders we make it clear that the current approach for funding and running public services in Wales is clearly not working and that the next Welsh government must free up and trust local government to work with its communities to deliver a better solution."
As well as scrapping the £60 a week cap on how much councils can charge for non-residential care, it wants an end to to protected school budgets.
Amid ministers' plans to cut the number of local authorities from 22 to single figures, the WLGA has also called for "clarity" from the Welsh government about council merger plans. | Hundreds of rail passengers have been "left stranded" after a power cut on a main line in the west of England.

From sea-faring fishermen to city-dwellers seeking an active lifestyle, India is witnessing a steady rise in the number of surfers, writes Supriya Vohra.
A small, brown figure confidently paddles out on a big white surfboard, into the choppy pre-monsoon waters of the Arabian sea.
Soon, the boy disappears into the collapsing waves. A few seconds later, he emerges standing on the board, finishing every wave with a stylish manoeuvre.
A crowd of locals erupts into a loud cheer. The 12-year-old is dancing on the waves after winning his first ever surfing competition.
Akhilan was introduced to surfing barely five months ago by an older group of surfers in his neighbourhood.
Born into a fishing family in Mahabalipuram in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, "surfing is life" for Akhilan now.
A shy boy on land, he is a fearless, natural athlete in water, and also one of the leading examples of the existence of innate talent for the emerging sport in India.
"We have mainly seen three types of surfers in India. Vacation surfers, who try out the sport for a few days. Surfing enthusiasts, who keep returning whenever they can. And surfers who are serious about the sport, and work to make a life off of it," says Rammohan Paranjape, a surf photographer and vice-president of the Surfing Federation of India (SFI).
Based in Mulki, a small coastal town in the southern state of Karnataka, the federation is recognised by the International Surfing Association (ISA) as a national governing body for surfing in India. According to the federation, India's 7,500km (4,660-mile) coastline is dotted with at least 20 surfing spots.
It provides training programmes to instructors, lists Indian surfing schools that have ISA certified instructors, and supports surfing festivals to boost the sport among the general public in the country.
India now has at least 60 professional surfers, including eight women.
Sekar Patchai, 28, an all-round waterman based in Covelong, a village on the east coast near Chennai in Tamil Nadu, is one of them.
"It is just something I tried out in 2011, and really enjoyed, and decided to continue," he says.
The second-youngest of seven siblings, Mr Patchai mastered surfing in a few months and started competing and winning all kinds of water sports - surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddling. He is now a full-time coach and athlete at Covelong Point Surf School.
"Passion for the sport drives me. But economically, this also works better for me. I earn a lot more than I used to as a fisherman. And my family has accepted it, so much so that my brothers are also taking up the sport seriously," he said.
Mr Patchai has also represented India at a number of competitions across the world. The growing interest for the sport, however, is a fairly recent phenomenon, just about 13 years old.
But Jack Hebner, also known as the Surfing Swami, started riding Indian waves in 1976 - the year he came to India and set up an ashram in Mysore in Karnataka state.
"I used to take five students on surf trips all over the country. In the early 1990s, perhaps we were the only ones in India pursuing the sport."
In 2004, a surfing school called Mantra Surf Club became part of Mr Hebner's ashram in Mulki. It was one of the first formal surfing schools in the country.
Tanvi Jagadish, 17, is an athlete at the school who recently represented India at the Fiji SUP Championship and at the Carolina Cup in the US.
She thanks her parents for their support, but says that initially her neighbours used to mock her.
"The neighbours used to say how could a girl go in the water. But I never bothered with them. Now they all want to shake hands with me," she says.
Aneesha Nayak, 16, says her mother supported her, but her paternal family did not.
"They were like, but you are a girl, it is so hot out there, you are going to be in the sun for so long, you will get tanned... What if you get scars on your body and face? What about your future? And by future, they meant getting married. That is not my future! I got more things to look forward to than marriage," she says.
"There is this assumption that women are weaker than men, and I am going to prove that wrong in any way that I can," she says.
Last year, the 129th International Olympics Committee decided to include surfing in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
For them, it was a bid to bring the Olympics to the youth, and for the International Surfing Association (ISA), it boosted the popularity of the sport.
India is also witnessing a growth in the sport.
Supporters say the rise in the number of surfers, training courses and schools is a positive sign. What they now want is steady support and recognition from national sports authorities. | Photographs by Rammohan Paranjape and Sabareesh Arumugam | 40,129,586 | 1,150 | 22 | false |
Michael Sandford is charged with an act of violence in a restricted area.
The 20-year-old had reportedly tried to seize the gun and said he wanted to shoot the US presidential candidate.
Surrey Police said it was "providing family liaison support on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office".
Mr Sandford told American police if he had not tried to kill Mr Trump at this rally he would have tried again at a rally in Phoenix, for which he had already booked tickets, the papers say.
He told investigators he had been in the US for one and a half years and drove to Las Vegas from California specifically to kill Mr Trump, the court papers say.
Court research showed he was unemployed, living out of his car and in the US illegally, the Associated Press news agency reports.
A federal public defender said he had autism and had attempted suicide, the agency adds.
Mr Sandford's father Paul Davey, from Havant, said his son had "always been a polite and peaceful boy".
Mr Davey told the Portsmouth News: "Whether he's been blackmailed or put up to it, that's the only thing me and his mum can think of.
"It's so against his nature and obviously with his Aspergers, we think somebody has got hold of him and done something."
Mr Sandford has been described as a keen Robot Wars enthusiast who competed with a machine he built and bought a number of robots featured in the show.
The BBC understands he lived with his mother Lynne in Dorking, Surrey until about 18 months ago.
Their neighbours and his former schoolmates also reacted to news of his arrest.
Katrina Greg told BBC Surrey: "He seems like quite a scruffy-dressed fellow most of the time; jeans and a baggy t-shirt, shaggyish brown hair. He certainly never looked like he dressed smart or wore a suit to work."
But she added: "He kept himself to himself, like most people on this street".
Another neighbour in Dorking described him as "a very quiet lad".
"He was alright. He got on well with his mum as far as I know. His mum is nice and is a friendly character."
One elderly neighbour, asked if she was surprised by what is said to have happened, said: "Kids do strange things and he (Trump) is a horrible man anyway."
Mr Sandford attended Powell Corderoy Primary School in Dorking, then went on to Ascombe School, whose headteacher David Blow declined to comment.
One classmate, who was in Mr Sandford's Year 6 class, said: "My boyfriend's mum showed me an article about it this morning and asked if I had gone to school with him and as soon as I saw the picture I recognised him.
"All I remember about him from school - he was a bit of a strange one and I never really spoke to him."
Powell Corderoy headteacher Emma McLoughlin said she did not work at the school when Mr Sandford attended but staff had mentioned him.
She said: "I did not know the guy, it was a long time ago in the school's history.
"It highlights the importance of how we teach children about expressing themselves in non-violent ways.
"To be honest it's not the sort of thing we want to draw the children's attention to."
The US Secret Service claimed Mr Sandford told police he wanted to kill the presumptive Republican nominee.
Mr Sandford is alleged to have told investigators he expected to die in the attempt, which he had been planning for a year.
He arrived in Las Vegas last Friday and reportedly went to a local shooting range to learn how to use a gun.
Dover striker Ricky Modeste tested Rory Watson's reactions early on after his third-minute strike hit a post, but the North Ferriby goalkeeper was quickest to the rebound.

Jack Jones pleaded guilty to 14 offences against young boys at Thorold Home, Southampton, in the 80s and 90s.
Southampton Crown Court heard how Jones would assault teenage boys at the home in their bedrooms, a shed, swimming baths and his car.
His ex-boyfriend Stuart Murdoch was also jailed for abusing children but this was not connected to the home.
Jones, 57, of Goose Lane, York, went by the name of Eamonn Tallon at the time of the offences, and was convicted of assaulting three boys aged between 11 and 13 while working at Thorold Home.
He was also convicted of offences committed alongside Murdoch.
Ex-boyfriend Murdoch, 54, of Tankerville Road, Southampton, was jailed for five years after being found guilty by jury of five counts of assaulting a boy aged under 14 with Jones.
The court heard that before Jones worked at the home he and Murdoch would invite a young boy to their house in Barnfield Close in the Weston area of Southampton.
They would regularly assault him together and Murdoch was convicted for three counts of indecent assault and two counts of serious sexual offences.
The court heard how publicity generated by a previous court case which saw Jones jailed for four years prompted more victims to come forward.
Jones was previously found guilty of sexual offences committed while working at the home in 2003.
One victim, abused by Jones aged 12, said in a statement that his innocence had been "stolen" and his "whole world was crashing around him".
Jones was convicted of six counts of indecent assault, two counts of serious sexual assault and multiple counts of sexual assault on children under 14.
Following the sentence, Det Insp James Park, of Hampshire police, said coming forward had been "a very difficult and brave thing" for the victims.
"Many years ago these victims, who had a difficult start in life, were taken into care where they should have been safe from abuse.
"In the case of Jones, they were then abused by the very person charged with keeping them safe," he added.
Castlereagh Council has submitted a planning application to replace Dundonald Ice Bowl with a new complex.
The Ice Bowl opened in 1986 and has around 600,000 visitors every year.
Papers lodged with the application state the new building would be a "flagship development", with updated facilities including an "Olympic standard" ice rink.
The demolition of the existing ice bowl would be phased and, when complete, would also include an NHS health and well-being centre.
When it first unveiled its proposal earlier this year, the council predicted the new complex would be finished by 2017.
The cost of the redevelopment has not been finalised.
Planning papers state the ice bowl is "a regional facility of significant importance to Northern Ireland's economy."
Belfast men, Kevin Valliday, 27, and Francis Martin Lavery, 31, admitted aggravated vehicle theft.
The driver and front seat passenger died in the crash and a fifth passenger was left with serious injuries.
The judge said he had considered genuine expressions of remorse and bereavement during sentencing.
Conor Rules, 23, was driving the vehicle on 28 June 2010, when it crashed on Leathemstown Road, near Dundrod.
He, the front seat passenger, Patrick McAllister, 25, and Mark Smith, 24, were taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital.
Mr Rules and Mr McAllister died in hospital.
At an earlier court hearing, Valliday, from Cullingtree Road in Belfast, and Lavery, from Stewartstown Road in the city, admitted two offences of aggravated vehicle theft causing death. Their 15-month jail sentence was suspended for three years on Friday.
Mark Smith, 24, from Brompton Park in Belfast, was so severely injured in the accident, the Public Prosecution Service decided to drop charges against him.
The sixth passenger, Mark Toner, 31, had also admitted the same offences of aggravated vehicle theft, but he later died as a result of a drugs overdose.
A prosecution lawyer said that neither the defendants nor the deceased were involved in the initial theft of the powerful Subaru Impreza, which was stolen from outside a house in Lisburn two days before the fatal car crash.
Mr Rules had come into possession of the car at some stage after its theft.
The six men were on their way from a party to Mr Rules' parents home in Dundrod, when he lost control of the vehicle. The car ploughed into a field where it overturned with enough force to throw some of the occupants from the vehicle.
Police said the crash was "an horrendous scene".
They found Mr Smith, Mr Rules and Mr McAllister unconscious in the field.
Mr Toner tried to run away from the scene, but fell as a result of his injuries. A police sniffer dog found Valliday hiding in a ditch. Lavery was also quickly apprehended by the police.
Valliday told his probation officer "there was total carnage everywhere" in the field.
A toxicology report indicated that Mr Rules had not been drinking or taking drugs.
The prosecution lawyer said: "It appears simply that this car was travelling too quickly for the bend in the road that they came upon and simply lost grip, with catastrophic consequences."
The judge at Craigavon Crown Court said there was no evidence that either Lavery or Valliday were "actively encouraging" their friend to drive dangerously.
He said he was suspending their terms for three years because of the "exceptional and tragic circumstances" and because the pair had been engaging so well with probation.
He also imposed a two-year driving ban, and said he was taking account of the men's previous convictions and the loss of life, as well as guilty pleas and genuine remorse.
He said: "The interests of justice are better served by something left hanging over their heads to ensure that both continue to take positive steps."
Dr Cliff Sharp has replaced Dr Andrew Murray who moved to NHS Forth Valley after about a year in the post.
He said that spending was one of the most difficult areas facing the health board as it looked to deliver about £11m in savings this year.
Recruiting and retaining staff was another issue Dr Sharp highlighted as one which needed to be tackled.
"I think there are several huge challenges facing all parts of the health service at the minute," he said.
"One is the financial picture - obviously it is tight - we need to do absolutely the best we possibly can with the money we have got.
"We can't spend money we don't have so we need to work within that - that's just a fact of life as any householder will know."
He said that recruiting and retaining staff was an "ongoing battle" for every health board around the country but the Borders should have advantages over some parts of Scotland.
"It is very much a sellers' market - we have to make the Borders a lovely, attractive place to live and work," he said.
"I think the size and scale that the Borders has - well, if we can't do it, no-one can."
John Paul I is remembered as the "smiling pope" for his easygoing nature and personal warmth.
Just 33 days after becoming pope, he died in his bed in 1978. The Vatican doctor ruled that the cause of death was a heart attack, but rumours that he was poisoned persist to this day.
However, the shortest papacy in history was occupied by Urban VII in 1590. He started to make great strides in helping the poor of Rome, for instance ordering bakers to sell their loaves more cheaply and covering the shortfall from his own pocket. He died of illness just 13 days after being appointed, and his coronation never took place.
The ninth president of the USA may have contracted the illness that killed him in the course of his duties.
In 1841, Mr Harrison gave the longest inauguration speech ever, in cold March weather without wearing a coat or a hat. In it he pledged "to discharge all the high duties of my exalted station according to the best of my ability".
But he caught a cold on the day, developed pneumonia and, the following month, became the first US president to die in office.
Aged 68, he held the record for oldest president right up until Ronald Reagan, nearly a century and a half later.
A competing theory holds that he actually died of enteric fever that he got from the White House water, which at the time was vulnerable to Washington's untreated sewage.
Mr Fishman was hired in September 2008 to head up the savings bank holdings company Washington Mutual. "Like everyone else in the business, WaMu is facing very significant pressures," he said when he took the job. "I need to hit the ground running and I am prepared to do that."
But that running became a sprint, not a marathon. He had been in the job for a matter of weeks when a run on the bank prompted the government to step in and force its sale to JP Morgan. It was the biggest bank failure in US history.
Before Mr Scaramucci, the shortest-lived communications director at the White House was Jack Koehler.
He was appointed in the communications director role for President Ronald Reagan in 1987, but resigned after it came out that he had been part of a Nazi youth group as a 10-year-old in his native Germany.
He said this was not the reason for his departure, though, calling Jungfolk "the boy scouts run by the Nazi party", and in his resignation letter he wrote only that he wanted to make space for a new team.
At the age of 16, Lady Jane Grey fell victim to sectarian turmoil across England in the 16th Century.
Sandwiched between her cousin Edward VI and her other cousin Mary I, she was given the crown of England and Ireland when Edward VI died because she was a Protestant like him. But as public opinion turned against Lady Jane, the monarch's advisers switched their allegiance to Mary I instead, proclaiming her queen.
Lady Jane was eventually beheaded for treason. Mary I had a five-year reign in which hundreds of non-Catholics were killed, and became known as Bloody Mary.
Emperor Duc Duc ruled between 20 July and 23 July 1883. He had a reputation for decadence and flouted the rules of mourning for his own father by inviting gamblers and entertainers to his coronation. It was enough to cost him his throne, and after a tussle over succession in the court, he was deposed and sentenced to be executed by poisoning. Historians believe he may have been allowed to die in captivity instead.
After South Africa's President Jacob Zuma sacked Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene in 2015, he put Mr van Rooyen in his place.
The ANC MP vowed to "simplify issues of public finance" but the country at large did not judge him to be up to the job. His lack of experience prompted the South African Council of Churches to call the appointment "bordering on financially irresponsible".
Less than a week later, Mr Zuma backtracked - bringing in the former Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, who had five years' previous experience in the job and continued until this year.
Adolf Hitler wrote in his will that the role of chancellor should go to his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. As the war drew to a close and Nazi defeat became certain, Hitler committed suicide. Goebbels served just one day in the position before he and his wife murdered their children and took their own lives.
On 2 August 1830, Louis-Antoine's father Charles X abdicated after a week of protests against him.
Louis-Antoine automatically became King Louis XIX but he, too, abdicated, feeling unable to overcome the dynasty's unpopularity. Some sources say he spend the 20 minutes of his reign humming and hawing over whether to sign the papers or not, and listening to his wife who wanted him to stay on as king.
He passed the throne to his nephew, the Duke of Orleans, and lived out the rest of his days in Scotland.
Remember this name for pub quizzes. Mr Rosenior's spectacularly short tenure may never be beaten, inside or outside the world of football.
He had previously been a manager at Torquay United for years, and got tapped to take the post up again in 2007. But just 10 minutes after his inaugural press conference, a local consortium took the team over and Mr Rosenior got the sack.
He has since moved in to punditry and said: "In the media, the most important thing is that people remember you, and people remember that."
Emily Eve Bridal Boutique in the city centre closed unexpectedly, leaving dozens of women without a dress or a refund for their wedding day.
One bride said she'd spent over £1,000 on a deposit that she may not get back.
The boutique's website has been deleted and the BBC has been unable to contact its owners.

Lauren Davies said she spent £1,080 on a deposit for her dress ahead of her wedding next year. She said she has "absolutely no idea" how she's going to get the money back because she can't reach anyone at the company.
"I was apprehensive about sending that much money," she said. "Luckily I only paid the deposit."
"They took my money in April but my dress was never even ordered. My dress has now been discontinued so I don't think I'll be able to get my dress now."
Olivea Allegrini-Jones, who is getting married on Saturday, said: "I bought a dress last April. It got to July and I still hadn't heard anything."
When she received no response from the boutique last month, she went to the shop on Smallbrook Queensway and demanded a refund which she was able to get before the shop was left empty.
In a cached version of the website, the shop is listed as part of the Retail Bridalwear Association (RBA), and claims to be "a business that is financially sound, offering professional standards of care and service".
RBA has been approached for comment.
The 22-year-old, who competes in the GP2 series, tested for Manor at Silverstone and Barcelona this year but has never driven an F1 car during a grand prix weekend.
Know someone who volunteers in sport and deserves recognition for their efforts? Give them the chance to shine by nominating them.
King is fifth in the GP2 drivers' standings with one round remaining in Abu Dhabi next month.
He will take over Pascal Wehrlein's car for the session at Austin.
"You dream of driving an F1 car from a young age and then to be a part of a race weekend and be on the circuit with everyone else is something very special," King said.
German Wehrlein scored Manor's only championship point this season when he finished 10th at the Austrian Grand Prix in July.

The Portuguese manager sat in the main stand at Celtic Park watching as the Ibrox side earned a 1-1 draw under the guidance of caretaker Graeme Murty.
Caixinha would have seen some cause for optimism in that performance, not least the doggedness of spirit that hauled the team back on to level terms after conceding the opening goal. The game wasn't a strict handover from the Mark Warburton reign, though, since Murty had already begun to try to rectify some of the team's shortcomings.
At times during this campaign, it has seemed as though the Old Firm rivals have been operating at different extremes. Following that 1-1 draw at Celtic Park, Brendan Rodgers' side had scored 74 league goals, almost double Rangers' tally of 38; at the other end of the pitch, Celtic had conceded only 17, while Rangers had lost 33 goals, again almost double.
A pattern had emerged under Warburton of Rangers tending to dominate opponents in terms of possession, but failing to convert chances and leaving themselves vulnerable in defence. Set-pieces were a particular weakness.
Celtic were dominant in every aspect of that game. Rodgers, too, bases his approach on a possession game, but his team have been much more effective in attack - where Moussa Dembele and Scott Sinclair have been consistently lethal - and more resolute in defence.
Caixinha has only managed Rangers for five games, so it is too early to make judgements. Even so, developments have been clear, since the team have conceded only one goal in that time, and scored 10. The goal difference after that 1-1 draw at Celtic Park was +5. It is now +14.
Rangers have kept clean sheets in their past three games, having only managed back-to-back clean sheets once previously this season. Caixinha's team are noticeably more defensively organised - a consequence of greater work on that side of the game in training than under Warburton.
They have also sought to be more direct in the attacking third, showing more of a willingness to risk possession by playing through balls or delivering crosses into the penalty area.
Against Aberdeen at Pittodrie, Rangers had to survive spells of pressure - with a defence that included young, inexperienced players in David Bates and Myles Beerman - but coped. Bates, in particular, was sound in the air, although he can still look anxious in games.
The sole goal conceded under Caixinha came from a corner kick, against Motherwell, so old frailties have not been entirely eradicated. The improvements will come under intense scrutiny from Celtic, though.
Rodgers' side have drawn three of their past six games, conceding six goals in that spell, which stretches back to the 1-1 draw at Celtic Park. Yet the title was in sight and the players could have been forgiven for their consistency slipping somewhat. That will not affect them on Sunday.
The Scottish Cup is the last trophy in their sights, and they will consider themselves capable of reaching the kind of level of performance that delivered a 5-1 win over Rangers last September. As well as Dembele and Sinclair, Stuart Armstrong has grown in stature in this campaign, and he will be a roving menace in midfield against a likely central Rangers trio of Jon Toral, Jason Holt and Emerson Hyndman.
Sinclair will want to attack any space behind James Tavernier, while Beerman, for all that he has been assured for an 18-year-old who has just broken into the side, will need to cope with the occasion if he plays instead of Lee Wallace, who has been injured.
Sunday's semi-final at Hampden brings together a side that has thrived by playing free-flowing football at times, against a team that has recovered some of its self-esteem by becoming more organised and thorough.
Caixinha was a calm observer at Celtic Park, but this time he will be in the midst of the pressures and intensity of the game. Rodgers has already coped with those demands.
The Celtic manager has stressed all season that it is the collective rather than the individual that is paramount. That approach has allowed players to flourish, though, and three of the four leading Premiership scorers this season are Sinclair (20), Dembele (17) and Armstrong (13). Kenny Miller, with nine goals, is Rangers' top scorer in the league.
Every assessment of the two teams reveals Celtic's strength. Caixinha has begun his work, and there have been signs of improvement, but it is still a challenge of his tactical nous to find a way to quell the threat of Rodgers' side, while still being capable of attacking intent of their own.
Rita King, 81, was killed at De La Mer House in Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex on Monday.
Her husband, Ronald King, of Cedar Close in the town, is charged with murder. He appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court via video link from HMP Chelmsford.
A plea hearing was set for 3 March and a trial provisionally set for 4 July.
Mr King was asked if he could hear the court proceedings, to which he replied to the court clerk "yes, dear".
His barrister said he would not be making a bail application.
Mrs King was understood to be suffering from dementia. A post-mortem examination found the provisional cause of her death was a gunshot wound to the head.
Essex Police said the bullet came from what was believed to be a 1934 Enfield revolver, which was found at the scene.
The Dane was not part of the squad for the 2-1 win over Aston Villa, Forest's third victory in four under Brazil.
Britt Assombalonga and Zach Clough both started up front in that win, teenage striker Ben Brereton hit the winner and Ross McCormack is also now available.
"There was never a desire to offload Nicklas. He's very much part of the squad," Brazil told BBC Sport.
Former Arsenal forward Bendtner signed a two-year deal with the Reds in September but has only started seven Championship games, managing two goals in a total of 17 appearances.
"We are looking to involve Nicklas," Brazil added. "He is involved in training and is working hard.
"At the moment he is not getting a game, but there might come a point in the future where we really need him. I can only pick 18. I have a number of really good players who don't get changed on a matchday.
"You can't please everybody and you have to make decisions. At the moment the decisions are going well because we are getting results."
Blessed with good looks and a fine singing voice, his stage presence made him a favourite on the live concert circuit as he matured from teen idol to long term stardom.
After early success in the duo Wham! he went on to build a solo career that brought him a string of awards and made him a multi-millionaire.
But there were times when his battle with drugs and encounters with the police made lurid headlines that threatened to eclipse his musical talents.
George Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou in North London on 25 June 1963. His father was a Greek Cypriot restaurateur who had come to the UK in the 1950s, while his mother was an English dancer.
It was not altogether a happy childhood. Michael later recalled that his parents worked constantly to improve their financial status leaving little room for affectionate moments. "I was never praised, never held. So it wasn't exactly the Little House on the Prairie."
He moved with his family to Hertfordshire while in his teens and met Andrew Ridgeley, a fellow pupil at a local school. The two discovered they had a shared interest in music and, together with a group of friends, formed a ska band which had a short lived existence.
In 1981 Michael and Ridgeley formed Wham! Their first release, Wham Rap! failed to trouble the charts but the follow up, Young Guns (Go For It) established the group after they were asked at the last minute, to perform it on Top of the Pops complete with dancers. The record quickly rose to No 3 in the UK charts.
George Michael: A life in pictures
How the world reacted
The duo initially adopted a leather-clad rebellious image with songs such as Bad Boys, but moved to a more pop-oriented approach with the world-wide hit, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, while the band members swapped their leathers for more fashionable attire.
With Michael very much the front man, it was almost inevitable that he would eventually strike out on his own. The 1984 single, Careless Whisper, while co-written by Ridgeley, was to all intents and purposes a George Michael solo effort. Indeed it was credited to Wham! featuring George Michael in the US.
Wham! finally split up in 1986 and in the spring of the following year Michael released I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) a duet with one of his musical icons, Aretha Franklin.
He was also beginning to experience doubts about his sexuality. In an interview with The Independent he blamed his depression after the Wham! breakup on the dawning realisation that he was not bisexual but gay.
Michael spent most of 1987 writing and recording his first solo album, Faith, which was released in the autumn of that year. It went to the top of both the UK and US charts going on to sell more than 25 million copies and winning a Grammy in 1989.
The first single from the album, I Want Your Sex, caused some controversy, particularly on US radio stations. Many refused to play it at all while others played a version substituting the word love for sex. In any event the single reached the top three on both sides of the Atlantic.
A 1988 world tour cemented Michael's status as a pop superstar although the constant touring and the adulation of thousands of screaming teenage girls left him feeling exhausted and only exacerbated the periods of depression that he was now beginning to experience on a regular basis.
Indeed he refused to promote his second album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 and no videos were made to back up the single releases. A much more introspective work than Faith, the album was aimed at a more adult audience.
When China woke up to Wham!
Have more famous people died in 2016?
It failed to achieve the success of his previous work in the US although there were contrasting fortunes in the UK where it actually outsold Faith.
While playing a concert in Rio on his Cover to Cover tour in 1991 he met Anselmo Feleppa, the man who would become his partner, although Michael still did not publicly state that he was gay. Their relationship was to be short-lived as Feleppa died of a brain haemorrhage in 1993.
Plans for Listen Without Prejudice Vol 2 were scrapped amidst a legal dispute with his record company, Sony. In what proved to be a long and costly battle Michael finally severed his relationship with Sony.
In 1996, Michael released the single, Jesus to a Child, a tribute to his dead lover, Feleppa. It went straight to No 1 in the UK. The single featured on the Older album, which had been three years in the making when it was released in 1996.
A dark and sometimes melancholy work, Older contained a number of references to his sexuality and his change of image saw the long hair and beard replaced by a cropped haircut and leather clothes.
The album was a big success in the UK and Europe but achieved disappointing sales in the US, where audiences still seemed to hanker after Michael the pop superstar rather than the more serious artist that he had aspired to become.
He was voted Best British Male at the Brit Awards and won the title Songwriter of the Year for the third time at the Ivor Novello awards.
The death of his mother from cancer saw him spiral into another round of depression. He told GQ magazine that he had contemplated suicide and had only been dissuaded by the support of his new partner, Kenny Goss.
In April 1998 he was arrested in a Beverley Hills public toilet by an undercover police officer and charged with engaging in a lewd act. He was fined and sentenced to 80 hours of community service.
The incident finally persuaded him to go public about his sexuality and his relationship with Kenny Goss, a Dallas based businessman.
He continued to record, releasing an album of cover tracks in 1999 entitled Songs from the Last Century, before spending two years writing and recording the album, Patience, which was released in 2004.
It was seen as something of a comeback, achieving instant success in the UK and even reaching No. 12 in the US, a market that seemed to have rejected him.
Following the release of Patience, he told the BBC that he would no longer make albums for sale to the public, preferring to produce free downloads of his music and ask fans to contribute money to charity.
In 2006 he set off on his first live tour for 15 years and became the first artist to perform at the newly reopened Wembley Stadium.
His private life continued to dominate the headlines. In February 2006 he was arrested and charged with possession of class C drugs and in July of that year the News of the World printed allegations that he had been engaging in sexual activity on London's Hampstead Heath.
Michael threatened to sue photographers for harassment but admitted that he often went out at night seeking what he called "anonymous and no-strings sex."
In August 2010 he was sentenced to eight weeks' imprisonment after pleading guilty to driving while under the influence of drugs. He was released after serving half his sentence.
Just before the start of a concert in Prague in 2011 he announced that he had split from his partner Kenny Goss two years previously, blaming Goss's addiction to alcohol and his own battles with drugs.
George Michael was a man whose talent made him a global star but he was never comfortable in that role. He once admitted that, in his younger days, the figure adored by thousands of screaming fans was just a kind of alter-ego he sent out on stage to do a job.
He fought hard to be accepted as a serious singer-songwriter and record producer, and successfully adapted his style to suit a more mature audience, all while struggling with depression and doubts over his sexuality.
He will be remembered as one of the more enduring musicians of the 80s generation.
Earlier this month the Football League ordered Coventry to pay the stadium's operator, ACL, by 14 August.
In a statement on its website, the club confirmed it had forwarded payment to the Football League.
The League One club previously said the outstanding debt was seen as the biggest obstacle to a return to its former home ground.
The Sky Blues have played all their home games at Northampton's ground, about 35 miles away, since August 2013.
Fans staged a protest in the 35th minute of Wednesday's Capital One Cup clash with Cardiff City against the long-running stalemate between ACL and the club.
The programme features Sellers and many contemporaries who later became household names after performing in Gang Shows for World War Two service personnel.
It was lost from BBC archives but a copy was found during the making of a radio documentary on Sellers' career.
The show's producer, Chris Menaul, recalled it being "well received".
The two-part documentary, Showman, about impresario Ralph Reader was made by BBC Bristol in 1976.
Reader was best known for creating the Gang Shows for the Boy Scouts in the 1930s, and, later, wartime service personnel - which gave Sellers and other future stars, including Dick Emery and Tony Hancock, an early taste of showbusiness.
Sellers travelled the world performing with the Gang Shows during the war after he was deemed unable to fly with the RAF due to poor eyesight.
Mr Menaul recalled how Sellers agreed to do the commentary at the last minute.
"He was quite difficult to get hold of - he was quite a big star at the time.
"We recorded the voice track sitting on his double bed in his flat in Victoria," he said.
The recording had disappeared from the BBC archives but BBC Radio Solent producer Richard Latto tracked down a copy on old Philips 1700 video format owned by a current Scouts Gang Show producer in Edinburgh.
Mr Latto said: "It is rare in that it is Sellers as himself - playing it straight and not putting on his voices or characters."
In the programme, Sellers recalls how "a sizeable proportion of an entire generation of entertainers cut their teeth on the wartime Gang Shows".
Audio of the programme features in a BBC Radio Solent documentary, presented by his daughter Sarah Sellers, to mark the 35th anniversary of his death in 1980.
Ms Sellers said: "When I see my father performing, I don't think of him as doing impersonations. He really becomes a character, and he was very sensitive to what made people tick."
Sellers, who was born in Southsea, Hampshire in 1925, went on to star in the Goon Show and the Pink Panther movies.
Peter Sellers: From Southsea to Stardom is on BBC Radio Solent on Saturday, 25 July at 14:00 BST, and afterwards on BBC iPlayer.
The Independent Review of Retirement Income (IRRI) suggests the target for savings should be 15% of salary.
That is a considerably higher level than has been suggested previously.
At the moment the average worker puts just 4.7% of pay into a pension - with most employers making a further contribution of less than 4%.
"To get a decent-sized pension pot for retirement, it is necessary to make adequate pension contributions - something of the order of 15% of pensionable salary," wrote Professor David Blake, director of the Pensions Institute at Cass Business School, in the 588 page report.
The review was set up by the Labour Party, following the government's announcement of planned pension freedoms in the 2014 budget.
On Tuesday the government confirmed that there will be a review of the state pension age. It will report in May 2017, and will be headed by John Cridland, the former director general of the CBI.
The review could mean people joining the workforce today will have to wait until their mid-70s before they retire, experts have warned.
Those under the age of about 55 will be affected by the shake-up, which will consider what the state retirement age should be from April 2028.
Employees taking part in the government's auto enrolment programme will eventually see 8% of their salaries going in to a pension.
Employers will be obliged to make a 5% minimum contribution, and workers a 3% contribution.
The average UK pension pot on retirement is worth around £28,000, according to the Tax Incentivised Savings Association (Tisa).
However, Tisa has suggested that households should aim to have savings of £230,000 for workers to retire on two-thirds of their previous income.
Two-thirds income is known as the "gold standard" of pensions. Half income is said to be the "silver standard."
While welcoming most of Professor Blake's conclusions, some industry experts said savings levels needed to be tailored to individual circumstances.
Conventional wisdom suggests lower-paid workers need to save a higher proportion of their wages than better-paid workers.

Professor David Blake said too many people did not understand the risks associated with making pension income last.
"It is clear that many of these people will find themselves in the same kind of control as a yachtsman in the middle of the Atlantic in a force nine gale," he said.
As a result he said that pension savers needed more help.
Elsewhere in the report he recommends:
Students from Seaview Primary and St Patrick's primary in North Belfast were invited to join the Fishing for Schools project in Dromore.
The initiative was launched by Angling First and got 2,000 students out of the classroom last year.
Offering a positive form of recreation, it discourages children from becoming involved with antisocial behaviour.
The Charity's director, Mark McGivern, credits fishing for keeping him out of trouble growing up: "We're all about getting kids off the streets," he said.
"The overall aim is for them to progress in the sport and take it up on a regular basis as a positive form of recreation and not getting involved in antisocial activities."
Mr McGivern said: "It gets kids off game consoles and into the real world, as opposed to the virtual one.
"For a lot of young people today, they're touching a live fish for the first time in their lives."
The Fishing for Schools scheme is now in its second year and is run in association with the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, which gives all participating children a free fishing licence for the year.
Mr McGivern added: "Northern Ireland is blessed with a whole system of waterways and rivers etc where kids can go and fish.
"You don't have to be from an affluent or academic background, anybody can do it."
Shared Education
Teacher Mark Irvine from Seaview Primary said the project was one of many cross-community initiatives with which the school has been involved, having previously taken part in football and poetry workshops.
"Fishing is something children from inner Belfast probably wouldn't be familiar with," he said.
"In year 7 we are thinking a lot about mindfulness and ways to get rid of the stress and strains of every day life and what better activity than fishing for that."
One of the staff, 23-year-old Levi Lyness, first got involved with the initiative when he was 11.
"I started fishing when I was 10, but I hadn't caught a fish for a whole year," he said.
"I came to this pond with Mark and caught my very first fish and then that was it. I got more and more involved every weekend.
"When I was 17 Mark pulled me to the side and asked if I'd mind volunteering and helping the other kids.
"It's a great opportunity, I love every minute of it."
Thomas landed the 4ft (1.2m) fish on a stretch of the river near his home in Powys.
His father, Louis Macdonald-Ames, said the pike's head "was bigger than Thomas's".
The fish was not weighed but the pair have estimated it could rival the biggest pike ever recorded from the Wye, caught in 1910, which was 37lb.
Thomas, from Three Cocks, near Glasbury, said: "After a while my arms were starting to hurt so I was glad when we got the fish to the bank. It's the biggest fish I have ever caught."
His father, who works for the Wye & Usk Foundation which looks after the river habitat, said: "Several times the pike took off across the river and, at one stage, I thought I might have to take over the fishing rod.
"I'm proud to say he toughed it out and it was amazing to see what was on the end of the line when the fish finally came in close. We knew it was big, but not that big."
The 23-year-old made 93 appearances for the U's after joining from non-league Royston in 2012.
Norris was described as the best goalkeeper in League Two last season by Cambridge boss Shaun Derry.
He has joined Wolves a day after fellow goalkeeper John Ruddy, and five days after long-serving Carl Ikeme was diagnosed with acute leukaemia.
Wolves also have two other keepers - Andy Lonergan, who has a year left on his contract, and youngster Harry Burgoyne, who made his debut last season when both Ikeme and Lonergan were injured.
Wolves have already announced that Ikeme, who has already started treatment following his diagnosis on Thursday, will keep the number one jersey next season.
Norris, who saved five penalties last season, including one in Cambridge's 2-1 League Cup second-round defeat at Molineux, is Wolves' eighth summer signing.
Cambridge chief executive Jez George told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire:
"On Sunday we were approached by Wolves. They made their interest known, and we quickly negotiated a fee that we feel is a really good package for Cambridge United and at the same time a really good opportunity for Will.
"We're a football club that wants to develop young players and therefore we always have to be aware that there's going to be a moment those players leave the football club. That has to be right for the player and the club.
"While we're disappointed he leaves us on the pitch, it's a fantastic opportunity for him and we've secured a really good deal for the club."

The 26-year-old left-armer has been appointed women's cricket senior officer at the ICC and will start at the end of November.
Colvin, England's youngest Test cricketer when she made her debut aged 15 in 2005, took an indefinite break from the sport in 2013.
"This new challenge with the ICC is the perfect next step for me," she said.
"The women's game is barely recognisable from when I first started playing.
"Since my break, the speed of professionalism in international women's cricket has been remarkable.
"There are so many amazing opportunities now in the women's game - both as a player and off the field."
Colvin took 3-67 in the first innings of her England debut in an Ashes Test against Australia at Hove.
She went on to play five Tests, 72 one-day internationals and 50 T20 matches, taking 173 wickets across the three formats.

Wane, a player and coach at Wigan before taking charge as head coach in 2011, steered his side to a 12-6 victory despite numerous absentees.
Sam Tomkins, brother Joel and winger Dom Manfredi were among those missing.
"Even as a player, I've been here for 30 years, that's the best win we've had," Wane told BBC Radio Manchester.
"The adversity we've put up with is unbelievable, to get the win with this close-knit group of players, never say die attitude, I'm so pleased."
Those injuries, which also include Michael McIlorum - who missed almost the entire season with a broken ankle - and Tony Clubb are a measure of the adversity they have faced in 2016.
Young players such as Grand Final try-scorer Oliver Gildart, Ryan Sutton and Lewis Tierney have emerged as key players as Wigan have made coming back from behind a hallmark of their play this term.
"Even when the game was 15 minutes to go, the way we've won games we've stayed in until the last second," Wane added.
"I was confident we could get this game - every respect to Warrington, a champion club, and to get the win against them was really special."
Amid the key personnel that missed out, Wigan were able to turn to talismanic skipper Sean O'Loughlin in their hour of need.
The England international, 33, had hamstring and calf problems that saw him miss the tail-end of the Super 8s but came through all the fitness tests put before him to feature.
His presence from off the bench proved a calming one, as the patched-up Warriors overpowered Warrington in the second-half.
"He's the best player in the world," Wane added.
"I feel sorry for Jake Shorrocks [who missed out of the 17-man squad], but what Lockers brings is priceless."
Two players who will not be back at Wigan next season, Dan Sarginson and matchwinner Josh Charnley, both delivered on the big stage to bow out in Cherry and White.
Gold Coast-bound Sarginson put the kick in that Charnley, who now heads to rugby union with Sale, pounced upon to score.
"I'm sorry to see them leave, but for Josh to get the final try was fantastic," Wane continued.
"We've sent Dan away with a ring, and I hope he goes well at Gold Coast."
For Warrington, their 61-year wait for a championship goes on, having once again led at half-time in a major final.
They were ahead in 2013 when Wigan came back to succeed, and again in this year's Challenge Cup final against Hull FC.
"This will spur us on, we'll bring one home soon," he told BBC Radio Merseyside.
"We've got some young guys there who are developing and will learn from this, will get stronger.
"I don't think you have to lose a final to win one but you do get more determined - that's what we'll use it for."
The agency is carrying out a public consultation on "Option C" which would connect Tilbury to Gravesend by tunnel.
It believes this route offers the best economic benefits and the greatest improvement in journey times.
But protesters say the consultation is "flawed" and another crossing at Dartford is a better solution.
The protest outside Gravesham Civic Centre was arranged by Bob Lane of Abridge2far, which opposes any form of the Option C proposals.
He urged the public not to rely on the "sketchy and incomplete" consultation booklet before making a decision.
The proposed road would run from the M2 to the M25 in Essex, tunnelling under the Thames east of Gravesend.
Highways England is recommending "Option C" over "Option A", which would have seen a new crossing at Dartford.
After the protest, Shorne villager John Dick said: "The people of Gravesham have clearly shown their disgust at the decision of Highways England to recommend Option C.
"Highways England has dropped the most terrible bombshell on the people, the environment and the future health of the village."
Clare Waller, an occupational nurse and school governor, spoke of her concern about "unacceptably high levels of pollution" especially as "the route passes very near Shorne Primary School" and said the road would "will cause devastation to the environment and landscape".
Shorne villager Ray Seaburgh said: "Ordinary people are being asked to make life-changing decisions of monumental importance based on hundreds of pages of biased and inaccurate documents in a time frame which is wholly inadequate."
Gravesham councillor John Cubitt said: "My real concern is that Dartford plays no part in the consultation. [It] does not give the public the option."
However, Paul Carter, leader of Kent County Council, has warned "substantive evidence" suggests that building at Dartford would be a "massive mistake".
Councillor Jeremy Kite of Dartford Borough Council said: "However many people turn up [to protest] it will only be a fraction of the number of people who get trapped in crossing difficulties at Dartford almost every day.
"The Highways England information is unequivocal - you cannot solve the problem at Dartford."
Twenty-two people died when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated a home-made device in the arena's foyer on 22 May following an Ariana Grande concert.
Det Supt Jonathan Chadwick told the hearing the bomb was "designed to kill and maim indiscriminately".
Coroner Nigel Meadows said the inquests at Manchester Civil Justice Centre would be adjourned until 24 November.
The hearing was shown a photograph of each of the victims and told of their injuries as their individual inquests were opened.
Those who died were aged between eight and 51. None of the victims' families were in court.
A map of where 19 of those killed in the foyer were was also shown to the hearing. The court heard a further three - John Atkinson, Georgina Callander and Saffie Roussos - died later in hospital.
Some of those who died were standing very close to the bomber, with others as far as 20m (66ft) away.
After the attack, the victims' bodies were taken to Royal Oldham Hospital to allow post-mortem examinations to take place, the hearing was told.
There, they were also identified using dental records, DNA tests and items recovered at the scene, including jewellery, clothing and mobile phones.
The court heard a total of 220 people were given hospital treatment and some are still receiving critical care.
Following the opening minute of an impeccably observed silence, the names of those who died were read out and the harrowing diagram of where they had fallen - so close together - was shown to the court.
Coroner Nigel Meadows took time to note the "dignity and strength of spirit" the families had demonstrated.
He also took a moment to praise the senior police officers in charge of identifying victims, Det Supt Jonathan Chadwick and Det Ch Insp Terry Crompton, for their "simple humanity" and acknowledged they "really cared" - something which he said had been picked up on by the bereaved.
Adjourning proceedings until November, he said that was only a holding date which could be moved if the police investigation was still ongoing.
Det Supt Chadwick said the device, which Abedi carried in a rucksack on his back, was "packed with a massive number of small metal objects which, on detonation, flew through the air at high velocity in all directions".
"It appears it was designed to kill and maim indiscriminately the largest number of innocent people," he said.
The court was also told 21 people had been arrested in connection with the attack and 32 addresses had been raided by police.
Three men remain in custody and 10 addresses are still under police control.
Eighteen people have been released without charge, including a 24-year-old man arrested on 2 June in Rusholme and a 20-year-old man arrested on 3 June on Cheetham Hill Road.
Adjourning the inquests, Mr Meadows praised those who responded to the attack, including the emergency services, members of the public and staff at the arena, adding that there were "too many to list".
He also praised the "tremendous" work of Greater Manchester Police, the crime scene investigation team, bereavement nurses, family liaison officers and mortuary staff.
"The response to this tragic incident has been a complete and total team effort from all," he added.
An inquest into the death of the 22-year-old bomber will be opened at a separate date.
Tributes left at St Ann's Square for the 22 victims will be moved at 19:00, Manchester City Council has confirmed.
A White House spokesman said he could not comment directly but efforts were being made to solve the problem.
Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced her concerns about the alleged US spy in German intelligence, while on a visit to China.
"It would be a clear contradiction of what I consider to be trusting co-operation" with the US, she said.
She said that if the allegations about a double agent were true, it would constitute a serious breach of trust.
"If the reports are correct, it would be a serious case," Ms Merkel said on Monday while at a news conference with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.
It is the second day of her three-day visit, which is dominated by trade issues.
The latest twist in the ongoing spying row between the two countries happened last week when a German employee of the country's foreign intelligence service (BND) was arrested.
The man is suspected of having handed over more than 200 documents over a two-year period in exchange for 25,000 euros (£20,000; $34,000).
Questioned by reporters on Monday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest praised the "valuable" relationship the US had with Germany and said: "We are going to work with the Germans to resolve this situation appropriately,"
Spying is particularly sensitive in Germany, whether it's listening in to Chancellor Merkel's phone or reading secret documents meant for a parliamentary committee. Mrs Merkel grew up in East Germany where the intrusions of the secret police - the Stasi - were pervasive and poisonous. And democracy has something of a sacred quality in Germany today because of the Nazi and then the Communist years.
"Outrage" runs across the political spectrum - it's not just a "chattering class" issue. Wolfgang Bosbach, for example, who is the Christian Democrat [centre-right] head of the Bundestag committee which oversees interior affairs, questioned whether the US and Germany could be considered as "partners" any more.
The first allegation of spying came just after President Obama's visit to Berlin where he was greeted as a long-lost friend. And this latest one concerns material for the very parliamentary committee set up to investigate the previous allegation. Spies spy, and no doubt spies spy on friends, but there are political consequences when they are caught at it, even if it's just in terms of a loss of goodwill.
German-US relations have been strained since it emerged that the US National Security Agency (NSA) had been monitoring Ms Merkel's mobile phone calls.
The scale of NSA surveillance was revealed by US whistleblower Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor who remains a fugitive in Russia.
Ms Merkel is on her seventh visit to China since taking office in 2005.
At the Beijing news conference Premier Li denied allegations of Chinese-sponsored cyber espionage. "China and Germany, it can be said, are both victims of hacking attacks," he said.
Ms Merkel is due to attend a meeting of the China-Germany Economic and Trade Commission. She will then meet Chinese President Xi Jinping later on Monday.
On Sunday she visited Chengdu, the capital of China's south-western Sichuan province where more than 150 German companies are active.
China is Germany's second-largest export market outside Europe after the US.
It sold goods worth 67bn euros (£53bn; $91bn) to China last year, while imports from China topped 73bn euros.
Ms Merkel's visit to China as chancellor may signal the growing importance of Chinese-German relations but there are problems, reports the BBC's Martin Patience from Beijing.
German companies have complained that Chinese businesses are ripping off their technology while other companies have said that they are not being paid on time.
Kieran Maxwell, 13, fell over but was quickly helped up by the torch security team and smiled as he carried on through Bishop Auckland, County Durham.
The teenager, from Newton Aycliffe, underwent chemotherapy after being diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma in 2010 and lost part of his left leg.
The flame is being carried 84-miles between Durham and Middlesbrough.
Kieran, from the village of Heighington, completed his chemotherapy in October 2011 and is now in remission.
However, due to the damage to the bone and tissue caused by the cancer, he lost his left tibia and had his left leg amputated below the knee.
He now has a prosthetic leg and uses a wheelchair for most of the time.
As he walked with the flame along Newgate Street he stumbled to the ground and dropped the torch, but was helped up by the officers who then helped him carry it the rest of the way.
Huge crowds gathered in Bishop Auckland cheering on the torchbearers and holding banners of support.
Day 30 of the Olympic torch relay was started in Durham by cricketer Paul Collingwood who pulled out a drive shot as he set off from the cathedral.
The three times Ashes winner started out at Palace Green, part of a Unesco World Heritage Site which includes Durham Cathedral and castle.
He said: "It's great to have my hands on the Olympic torch."
The 84-mile journey from Durham to Middlesbrough takes in County Durham and Teesside's industrial heartland.
Before setting off Collingwood, who made 68 Test and 232 limited over appearances for his country, said: "I am like a kid at Christmas."
But he had to take extra care while carrying the torch due to a hand fracture.
"It's not ideal timing to break a bone in my right hand as I was going to carry it in that hand," he said.
Feeling privileged at being chosen for the role he said: "It's going to be a great day, everyone has smiles on their faces - I certainly have a smile on mine.
"It really is a dream."
Collingwood was the first England captain to lead his side to victory in a global tournament - winning the World International Twenty20 in 2010.
The Dean of Durham the Very Rev Michael Sadgrove said: "It was very moving to see the torch lit outside the cathedral."
Also among the day's 124 torch bearers was Jamie Poole, 24, from Stockton-on-Tees, who carried the flame into the Maritime Experience in Hartlepool.
The school football coach was nominated after helping to to care for a friend who was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Larry Smith, 85, who was a marshal at the 1948 London Games, was the oldest torchbearer of the day.
He carried the flame through Blackhall Colliery to huge cheers and people carrying "Go Larry" banners.
Mr Smith visits the gym every day to help control his diabetes as well as helping others deal with the condition.
The relay travelled through the communities of Durham, Sherburn, Sherburn Hill, Haswell Plough, Peterlee, Horden, Blackhall Colliery, Hartlepool, Billingham, Sedgefield, Bishop Auckland, Shildon, Middridge, Newton Aycliffe, High Beaumont Hill, Harrogate Hill, Darlington, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough.
At an evening celebration in Centre Square, Middlesbrough, crowds were entertained with music from Little Comets and dance act Twist and Pulse.
Towards the end of the two-hour show the last torchbearer of the day, Chloe Meehan, 17, lit a celebration cauldron on stage.
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.
With the death toll rising to 84, police spokesman Dhananjay Kulkarni said it was the worst incident of its kind in the city in more than a decade.
He says more than 30 people are still in hospital, some in serious condition.
Toxic alcohol deaths are a regular occurrence in India, where people often drink cheap bootleg liquor.
Residents of the Malad slum area fell ill after drinking cheap homemade alcohol on Wednesday. Police reportedly found eight sick people after a door-to-door search for more potential victims.
Five people have been arrested on charges of distributing and selling the alcohol, while eight police personnel were also reportedly suspended for suspected negligence following the incident.
Tayra Khan, wife of one of the victims, told Mumbai's Mid-Day newspaper that her husband was admitted to hospital early on Thursday after "he complained of vomiting and pain in the stomach".
"He died three hours later, leaving me and my three little children alone."
At least 29 people were killed after consuming toxic alcohol in Uttar Pradesh state in January.
India has witnessed many other incidents of toxic alcohol deaths in the past:
The former Dr Who star will attend the closing gala on 26 February for the world premiere of his latest film, Mad To Be Normal.
Also starring Michael Gambon and Gabriel Byrne, the film is about the life of Scots psychiatrist RD Laing.
The 13th festival opens on 15 February with a screening of Handsome Devil, starring Sherlock actor Andrew Scott.
GFF co-director Allison Gardner said: "I am so excited to share the news about our great opening and closing galas.
"Handsome Devil is a real crowd-pleaser with a joyous spirit that makes it a perfect film to launch the festival.
"David Tennant gives an absolutely stunning performance as RD Laing in Mad To Be Normal and it seems only fitting that Glasgow should have the honour of hosting the premiere of a film about one of the city's most complex, charismatic figures."
RD Laing was seen as a radical when he set up a medication-free community for psychiatric patients in London in the 1960s.
The film also features Elizabeth Moss who starred in Mad Men and Girl, Interrupted.
A documentary series about influential art writer John Berger, titled The Seasons in Quincy, has also been added to the GFF schedule after his death on 2 January.
The result of a five-year project by Tilda Swinton, Colin MacCabe and Christopher Roth in collaboration with the composer Simon Fisher Turner, the documentary is made with four films on different aspects of Berger's life and will be shown on 24 and 25 February.
The full festival programme is to be detailed later in January but events already announced include a live music performance involving Alex Kapranos and Stuart Braithwaite.
The ABC show will follow a special screening of documentary Lost In France, looking at the rise of Scotland's independent music scene and bands such as Mogwai, Arab Strap and Franz Ferdinand.
The 2017 GFF programme also celebrates Canadian cinema and the role of women in thrillers.
Glasgow City Council leader Frank McAveety said: "GFF is a highlight on the city's cultural calendar.
"The opening gala is always an exciting event, heralding the beginning of 11 packed days of film in the UK's cinema city.
"It's particularly great to see that a famous Glaswegian will be depicted on screen for this year's closing gala film."

The Queen is in Germany on a four day state visit, which ends tomorrow.
Young defender Nathan Smith, a graduate of the Vale Park academy, repaid manager Bruno Ribeiro's faith in him by scoring the only goal of the game seven minutes after the break.
Striker Calvin Andrew could have put the visitors ahead after 25 minutes when he took a pass from Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and turned smartly in the box, but his shot was easily smothered by Jak Alnwick.
And the home side took the lead as 20-year-old Smith rose highest to meet Sam Foley's 52nd-minute free-kick before his header deflected off a Rochdale defender and over the despairing arms of goalkeeper Josh Lillis.
JJ Hooper had the chance to double Vale's lead from the spot after substitute Alex Jones - making his debut - was brought down four minutes from time, but fired his penalty wide of Lillis' goal.
Jones almost got on the scoresheet himself three minutes into second-half injury time, latching onto a through-ball and rounding the keeper before firing his shot straight at defender Niall Canavan.

Liberal Democrat John Hemming, chairman of the Justice for Families campaign group, said parents should "go abroad", if it is legal.
But the courts advisory service, Cafcass, said going abroad did not solve the problem for most parents.
The government said family justice reform was a "critical priority".
In 2012, local authorities made a record 10,218 applications to take children away from parents.
This figure was 11% higher than in 2010-11 and 61.6% higher than in 2007-08, according to Cafcass, which said applications had been rising since the case of Baby P in 2008.
In some high profile cases where children died, local authorities were criticised for not acting quickly enough and for believing what they had been told by parents.
But John Hemming, MP for Birmingham Yardley, said the system had become unfair to parents. He has been contacted by hundreds of parents suspected of harming their children who are going through the family courts.
He said the process was so unfair that parents should leave the country to avoid social services and the courts.
"All the cards are held by the local authority. It has large resources to fight the cases - it does all the assessments," he said.
"My advice to people - if they can afford it - is just to go abroad. You can't get a fair trial here, because you can't rely on the evidence being fair.
"It's best simply to go if you can, at the right time, lawfully."
But Cafcass, the organisation that looks after the interests of children in the family courts, said the rise in care applications meant that more children were being protected.
"We can't play poker with children's safety, we've got to have a system that plays it safe to begin with," said chief executive Anthony Douglas.
"I do think we have a responsibility to make our family courts better, to make them more transparent, to build public confidence in them.
"To advocate leaving altogether doesn't solve the problem for the vast majority of children and parents who need our courts to be as good as they possibly can be."
When the child protection system makes a mistake it can have devastating effects for the family involved.
Amy Howell, from Bristol, took her six-week-old baby boy, Harrison, to hospital because he was unwell in February 2008.
X-rays taken to assess him showed he had multiple fractures that Amy could not explain.
Blood tests showed Harrison had severe vitamin D deficiency, a condition that can lead to rickets and weaker bones.
But medical experts said the fractures were evidence of abuse and Harrison and his older sister were taken into care.
The children were placed with Amy's mother, but Harrison continued to be unwell.
The court eventually allowed Amy to appoint an alternative expert, a professor of genetics, who discovered that the family had an unusual history of broken bones and fractures.
Harrison was treated for rickets and a genetic bone disorder. The professor convinced the court and 18 months after they were taken away, Amy got her children back.
"We weren't even aware it was going to happen," said Amy. "I phoned social services and they dropped in, 'Oh, by the way, I suppose we better tell you that we're actually going to drop the case against you'.
"I sort of fell to the floor and everyone stared at me. I just sat there crying with the phone in my hand.
"Obviously things do happen, people do abuse their children, and I'm not denying that, but at the same time they need to be being vigilant because these conditions can go unnoticed."
South Gloucestershire Council said: "We have a duty to ensure that children are safeguarded until the circumstances are clear. The children in this case were always in the care of their family.
"We regret the distress this investigation caused to the family, but we do not enter into this sort of action lightly and we do so on the basis of the evidence we have."
Family Justice Minister Lord McNally said the reform of family justice and child protection was a "critical priority" for the government.
"We are changing the system so there are new standards for expert witnesses, more effective court processes and more efficient provision of advice for families.
"We have also been clear that there needs to be more openness in the family courts."

Speaking at the start of the Reds' pre-season tour, Rodgers confirmed the move will go through subject to a medical.
"Contrary to what has been written, Raheem and I have always remained strong in our relationship. There is no issue there," said Rodgers.
Sterling rejected a £100,000-a-week contract offer to remain at Anfield.
And it was reported last week that his relationship with Rodgers had broken down over the protracted transfer negotiations.
Sterling's medical is likely to take place on Tuesday and the fee will include up to £5m in add-ons over the course of the deal.
Rodgers, who says he spoke to Sterling "at length" on Sunday, would not be drawn on any more new signings.

But when asked if the club could fill the void left by Sterling's sale, he highlighted the addition of Brazil forward Roberto Firmino, signed for £29m from German club Hoffenheim.
"Roberto Firmino is a top-class player," he said.
"He will come into the Premier League and it takes a bit of time to adapt. But he has all the traits we want from a player. He works very hard.
"Transfers is not really something I want to go into in a press conference. I spent a lot of last season talking about transfers and don't intend to this year.
"Any business done will be done behind the scenes at the club."
But Rodgers did add that he is pleased with his dealings so far, saying: "Our aim is to be stronger and more competitive next season."
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is the latest senior cabinet minister to put pressure on the chancellor and the PM to change the policy.
No 10 said ministers would respond to pay review bodies in due course.
But 1% rises for dentists, nurses, doctors and the military have already been agreed for this year, it added.
When the matter was raised in the Commons, a minister said the government wanted to ensure "frontline public service workers" were "paid fairly for their work".
Nick Hurd, a policing minister, told MPs how to do this was "under active discussion".
A Whitehall source said Mr Johnson "strongly" believed pay rises could be achieved in "a responsible way", without putting undue pressure on the public finances.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies has estimated that increasing public sector pay in line with the private sector would cost an extra £6.3bn a year.
In the Queen's Speech debate last month, Mr Hammond made clear his aversion to higher borrowing.
Are you a public sector worker affected by these issues? Let us know by emailing [email protected]
However, on Sunday Mr Gove, the environment secretary, appeared to reject suggestions that taxes would need to go up to meet the cost of any pay rises.
Pay rises for most public sector workers are set by independent pay review bodies, but have effectively been capped at 1% each year since 2013.
Before that, there was a two-year freeze on pay for all but the lowest-paid workers.
In addition to the 1% annual rise, some NHS staff also get incremental increases as they progress in their roles.
The Conservatives went into the election planning to maintain the cap until 2020, but there are growing calls for a rethink after the party lost its majority in the general election.
The pay review bodies cover a wide range of professions, from prison officers and nurses, to judges and senior NHS managers.
Those covering police and teachers' pay are due to report this month. The cap has been applied across the UK, but the Scottish government has said it plans to end it in Scotland.

Arguably the simpler part of the debate has been had - many public sector workers are feeling the pinch, and there is more and more pressure to remove the limit on pay rises. The more complicated bit, who or what would pay for the increase, is a conversation that's yet to happen.
Whatever Boris Johnson and Michael Gove have said in the last twenty four hours, don't expect anything to happen in a hurry. The first pay review body is not due to report for another few weeks.
It seems unlikely that the government will announce any plan to either ditch the cap or promise to accept the decisions of the review bodies before then.
It's not in either Theresa May or Philip Hammond's DNA to make quick decisions. Read more from Laura
Former Conservative Chancellor Lord Lamont told BBC Radio 4's Today programme public sector pay was on average higher than in the private sector and controlling it was "extremely important".
He said cases could be looked at where there were specific issues around recruitment but objected to the "general pressure that's being applied, the idea that we should abandon restraint of public expenditure".
He said people should not criticise austerity in the same way they might discuss "too many repeats on television" and said it was not right for cabinet ministers to "gang up" on Mr Hammond, saying they were making the chancellor's position "very awkward".
"This is not a choice," he added.
"It is unavoidable that we have restraint on public spending."
Institute for Fiscal Studies director Paul Johnson said "within the scale of things" Mr Hammond could "afford a few billions here and there", but added the chancellor would be worried that if he gives money to one part of the public sector he will come under pressure to do the same in other areas.
NHS Confederation chairman and former Tory minister Stephen Dorrell said the pay review bodies should not be "artificially constrained" by the 1% policy, saying health service staff needed to be "properly looked after".
And former cabinet minister Stephen Crabb said ministers who disagreed with the official government policy should not be in the cabinet.
"I don't think it's a great sight seeing different cabinet members giving slightly different messages to the media," he told BBC Radio 4's The World at One.
Speaking on Sunday, Mr Gove did not call directly for the 1% cap to be lifted, but said ministers should respect the "integrity" of the pay review process.
Last week Labour attempted to scrap the 1% cap but was defeated in Parliament.
Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said reports on the divisions within government over public sector pay revealed there was "turmoil" in the Conservative Party.
"They're saying 'Wait for the pay review bodies', even though they're the ones insisting on a 1% cap," the Labour frontbencher told the Andrew Marr Show on Sunday.
"We're saying to the pay review bodies: 'Get rid of the 1% cap and give a fair pay rise.'"
Asked what level of pay rise Labour thought was fair, Mr Ashworth said the pay review bodies should consider one in line with the rise in average earnings across the economy.

He is the 15th teenager to be killed in a knife attack in the capital this year and the second in less than 24 hours. There were 12 fatal stabbings in 2016.
Jermaine was found by police officers at about 23:00 BST on Tuesday in Georgia Road, Thornton Heath, Croydon.
He was confirmed dead at the scene shortly before midnight. There have been no arrests.
An elderly neighbour, who knew the boy, said: "He was a nice lad, I would see him to speak to in the street and he would come over and stroke my dog, say hello.
"I know his dad, Stan, better. It seems desperately sad that this can happen to such an innocent boy."
Another neighbour said: "I was in my house and I heard a police helicopter at around midnight.
"I've seen on the news that it was a 15-year-old boy; it's just so sad."
Jermaine has not yet been formally identified by police.
Post-mortem tests will take place later this week. Officers remain at the scene and cordons are in place.
Councillor Alison Butler, deputy leader of Croydon Council, said: "I am devastated to hear another young man has lost his life to knife crime, and my thoughts are with the victim's family.
"This is happening all too frequently both in Croydon and across London - enough is enough."
Spurs have agreed an undisclosed fee, thought to be about £7m, for the 23-year-old, who has won 14 caps.
Chadli is with Spurs in Hong Kong for the Asia Cup, and having agreed terms and passed a medical, could make his debut against Monaco on 3 August.
FC Twente won 65% of their Eredivisie matches last season when Nacer Chadli played. Without him, they only won 25%.

He joined FC Twente from AGOVV Apeldoorn in 2010 and played 106 times for the club, scoring 31 goals.
Two of those strikes came in Champions League matches against Spurs in the 2010-11 season.

The London club have also sealed the £17m capture of Brazilian international midfielder Paulinho during the close season.
The woman was admitted to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary for a pelvic floor repair procedure.
A report by the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman said the woman had a vaginal hysterectomy later that day.
The ombudsman said the woman, known as Mrs C, should have been told about the possibility of the procedure earlier.
The report added: "We found that it was unreasonable that Mrs C was only told about the possibility of such a significant procedure on the day of the surgery and that she was given little time to consider this."
The ombudsman recommended that NHS Dumfries and Galloway issue a written apology to the patient.
It also asked the health board to provide evidence to show that the possibility of a hysterectomy is discussed at an early stage with patients undergoing pelvic floor repair.
A spokeswoman for the board said: "Jeff Ace, chief executive NHS Dumfries and Galloway, has written and apologised to this lady for her experience as it was not the standard that he would wish.
"The action plan for the actions requested by the SPSO has also been completed to ensure that we maximise the learning from her experience."
The men, aged 51 and 24, were detained on Friday. A 25-year-old man who was arrested on Thursday has also been released.
Mr McKay, who was 36, was shot dead at his home on the Longlands Road last month. His funeral took place on Friday.
At least two armed men were involved in the attack.
The NBA's most valuable player hit seven three-point baskets to put the Warriors on the brink of winning successive titles.
No side has come back from 3-1 down to win the Finals and Golden State have home advantage for Monday's game five.
"He's the MVP for a reason," said Warriors coach Steve Kerr of Curry.
"He doesn't have the size and strength to dominate a game physically so he has to dominate with his skill.
"He trusts his shot and he just kept firing and they went in."
Curry, who averaged 16 points in the first three games of the series, scored 13 points in the fourth quarter.
Cleveland went six minutes without scoring a basket in the final quarter and LeBron James tangled with Golden State's Draymond Green in the final three minutes of the game as frustrations boiled over.
"Draymond said something that I don't agree with," said James, who won the NBA Finals in 2012 and 2013 with Miami but has lost the last two, including last year's defeat by Golden State.
"I'm all cool with the competition, but some of the words that came out of his mouth were a little bit overboard.
"As a competitor, I love going against Draymond, and I'm all about going out there and leaving it out on the floor. But when it gets a little bit more than what it should be, that's what caused me to have words with him."
The Warriors won a record 73 regular season games, losing just nine.

Police Scotland seized 30 million indecent images and charged 77 people as part of Operation Lattise.
Children's charity NSPCC Scotland said the probe "underlined in really stark terms" the scale of the issue.
They said parents and teachers also had a key role in keeping children as safe online as they are offline.
Operation Lattise involved 134 separate investigations across Scotland between 6 June and 15 July, with the homes of 83 suspects raided.
Officers identified 523 potential victims of abuse, some as young as three, with 122 of them referred to child protection services.
One suspect had communicated with 110 children, while the seizure of one computer alone led to the recovery of 10 million indecent images.
NSPCC Scotland policy and public affairs manager Joanna Barrett said the charity was "increasingly concerned" about the harm that can be done to children over the internet.
She said: "The figures released yesterday underlined in really stark terms the scale of this type of offending and it just goes to show what a priority this needs to be.
"We would support further efforts by law enforcement to target people who would seek to harm children online, but we also need to look at what we can do to prevent such situations arising.
"How can we educate children to give them the skills and the resilience to deal with online situations to recognised the signs of potential abuse, but what more can we do with the industry?
"What more can the industry do to play their part in keeping children safe online?"
"We need to prioritise this as an issue, because yesterday's statistics show us that there is potential risk to children online, and we need to protect children and bring perpetrators to justice."
Ms Barrett said parents may find it difficult to discuss the internet with their children, but underlined the importance of doing so and setting safe parameters.
She said: "We talk about online safety, but I don't think we have a common understanding in what we mean. We haven't really uncovered the scale of it - yesterday was really only beginning to show us the scale of this type of offending.
"We really need to look at prevention, and that begins with conversations between parents and children about how to stay safe online.
"We've published guidance because parents can often feel overawed, their children can know more about the internet than they do. They need to talk about safe parameters, make sure privacy and filters are there, and start to have that conversation about keeping as safe in the online world as you would in the offline world."
Operation Lattise was Police Scotland's first nationwide effort to tackle online child sex abuse, but Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham said the force's "commitment to tackling this horrific threat will continue".
He added: "Police Scotland is committed to Keeping Children Safe and the protection of children was absolutely at the heart of Operation Lattise.
"All children have a right to protection against abuse, exploitation, neglect and violence. We will continue to work with our partners to protect and promote the wellbeing of all children."
Mr Cameron said it would be better not to have to resort to new taxes but said that "what matters is we do make progress" on obesity.
The PM was speaking to journalists following reports a tax on sugary drinks was being considered.
Number 10 previously said he "doesn't see a need for a tax on sugar".
In October a report by Public Health England recommended a tax of between 10 and 20% on high-sugar products as one of the measures needed to achieve a "meaningful" reduction in sugar consumption.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has also campaigned for such a move, while a new study in the British Medical Journal said Mexico's sugary drinks tax led to a 12% reduction in sales.
Asked at a press conference in Hungary whether he was ready to reverse his previous opposition to the policy, Mr Cameron said: "I don't really want to put new taxes onto anything but we do have to recognise that we face potentially in Britain something of an obesity crisis when we look at the effect of obesity on not just diabetes but the effect on heart disease, potentially on cancer."
The PM said the government would come up with a "fully worked-up programme" to tackle obesity, with details announced later this year.
He added: "We shouldn't be in the business of ruling things out but obviously putting extra taxes on things is not something I aim to do, it's something I would rather avoid."
A Downing Street spokeswoman said more needed to be done to reduce obesity and urged the food and drink industry to develop more alternative products that do not have high sugar levels.
The Food and Drink Federation has said it does not agree evidence supports the introduction of a tax on sugary products and that industry is "determined" to help tackle childhood obesity.
Prime Music will provide access to more than one million songs and around 500 specially created playlists.
Amazon's answer to Spotify, Deezer and Google Play follows the launch of Apple Music and Jay-Z's Tidal this year.
Music streaming in the UK has almost doubled over the last 12 months.
Last week, figures from The Official Charts Company revealed the number of streams had passed the 500 million a week for the first time, with Ed Sheeran the most-streamed artist of the year so far.
"Consuming music is evolving and we want to maintain pace with that evolution," Paul Firth, head of music for Amazon UK, told the BBC - adding that they wanted to take music streaming "to the masses".
"What has happened in the last few weeks is that knowledge amongst the British public of music streaming services has increased," he continued, referencing last month's Apple Music launch.
Firth said Amazon was focused on their own customers rather than what their "competitors are doing", but added: "For many people £120 a year is a lot of money to spend on music."
Apple Music is currently available for a free three-month trial, before the £9.99 or £14.99 family subscriptions kick in, while services such as Spotify offer a £9.99 subscription or a free service that includes advertisements.
Prime customers currently pay £79 a year for a range of services including on demand video streaming, free next-day delivery from Amazon's online store and a Kindle lending library.
Amazon said the US launch of Prime Music last year had been "incredibly successful".
"If you were to take a lot of the other better-known streaming services out there like rdio, Rhapsody, Deezer, Tidal and Google Play All Access, we have more active users in any given month than all those ones have combined," said Steve Bernstein, director of Amazon Digital Music UK
"We don't know how Apple Music will fit into everything, but in the last six months we've already seen our number of active users grow by over 100% on a monthly basis, also on a weekly and daily basis as well."
Amazon said it had created the UK service "from the ground up", based on "what we think British music fans want."
Patrick Clifton who runs Amazon Digital Music in the UK said the service had combined "fifteen years of Amazon sales data" with the specialist knowledge of a team of "musical experts", including a "champion hip-hop DJ", music journalists and bloggers and record labels.
Following Taylor Swift's recent public battle with Apple Music over how much artists are paid for streaming services, her music is now available exclusively on Apple.
Songs like Shake It Off and I Knew You Were Trouble will not appear on Prime Music unless you have already bought her albums on Amazon, in which case the digital files will automatically appear in your library.
"There's a lot of big artists who aren't on streaming at all and so we won't have those either," said Firth.
He said Amazon has struck deals with a range of major and indie record labels, but would not broach the controversial subject of royalty payments.
"Our deals are with the rights holders and the publishers, so we can't comment on what they pay artists," he said.
However, Bernstein said the company was actually "expanding the pie" by engaging more customers with music, adding: "We're creating a new base of fans and a new royalty stream for rights holders and artists."
Subscribers will access Prime Music through the Amazon Music app, or the Amazon website.
They will be able to browse playlists according to genre or activity, ranging from "background beats for work" to "acoustic hangover cure" or "pumping running tracks", as well as getting suggestions from the "recommendation engine" based on what they have already listened to.
Firth added: "The only thing we can say with certainty is that we're going to see the way people to listen to music change.
"Being the one place where you can make all those choices in the same place, you can buy CDs and vinyl, you can buy downloads or you can stream - I think that's the best place to be right now."
The Gunners beat Stoke 4-1 on Saturday to move one point behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
Sections of the club's support have called for Wenger, who is yet to announce his future plans, to leave.
The 67-year-old said: "I want to focus on football and all the rest is, for me, less important."
Wenger, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has been in charge of Arsenal since 1996.

He led the club to two league and cup Doubles within the first six years, but they have not won the Premier League since 2004 and have only won two trophies - the FA Cup twice - in the past 12 years.
Olivier Giroud scored twice in the victory at Stoke, with Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez also on target.
Wenger said: "I am paid to do my job for a club I love. I will do that as long as I am here, with full commitment, and I am not influenced by that at all.
"I am not in politics, I am in sport. I love sport, I give 24 hours a day for what I love and all the rest - I am in a public job, some agree with me, some do not."
When told about reports in France suggesting he will sign a new one-year deal, he said: "There is no information about that, nothing."
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright: "People are saying that when the pressure is on Arsenal don't react. But in the last few games they have reacted to being out of the Champions League places.
"I believe if they win the FA Cup that's got to be a good season. You've got to take silverware."
With two fewer players on each side than a normal basketball game, played on half a court with only one basket to score in, the world of three v three makes for rather fast-paced basketball and very little room for error.
On Friday, the best female players in the UK continue the early stages of a new three v three tournament, that you can watch during half-time of London Lions v Bristol Flyers on the BBC Sport website, Connected TV and on the BBC Sport App.
"From an audience perspective I think three v three is easier to follow," said Christina Gaskin of Barking Abbey Crusaders.
"With a normal basketball game when you have 10 people on the floor you have to know a little bit of the game to understand what's going on when people run offenses.
"When you run three on three it's more exciting and played at a quicker pace."
For the tournament the WBBL teams have been split into three groups - North One, North Two and South - and play everyone else in their group once.
The winners of North One will face the winners of North Two in the semi-finals and the top two in the South group will play each other for a place in the final.
So what is it like to play in?
"The energy is different when you play three v three. You realise there's a lot more pressure because you don't have as many opportunities to score.
Find out how to get into basketball with our special guide.
"You have to make sure you get a good shot every time and defensively you're working hard and getting those stops.
"You don't have that help defensively behind you so if you mess up, they're going to score.
"There's that sense of pride that it's me against that person I'm playing against, as opposed to having extra team-mates to help you out. That makes it more intense."
More than 150,000 people braved the rain to line the parade route sporting gold hats and waving flags.
The procession started at the Museum of Science and Industry and ended in Albert Square where 400 athletes gathered on stage.
London will have its own celebration on Tuesday in Trafalgar Square.
Team GB set an Olympic record in Rio 2016 by winning 67 medals - two more than they managed at London 2012.
The Paralympians also beat their previous performance with 147 medals - 27 more than four years ago.
Manchester was chosen for the first parade to reflect the contribution made by athletes from across the UK, the government said.
The city has become the hub for Team GB and Paralympics GB's all-conquering cyclists and para-cyclists since the opening of Britain's first indoor Olympic cycling track in 1994.
Singer Rebecca Ferguson and Kaiser Chiefs performed live to the crowds in Albert Square, where the parade ended.
Sports stars including Jessica Ennis-Hill, Dame Sarah Storey, Max Whitlock, Jade Jones and Nicola Adams were among the athletes who attended.
Ennis-Hill, who announced her retirement from athletics last week, said even though she was "a bit wet" it was "a really nice occasion to come here and be on the float, celebrating Rio, and also saying goodbye to everyone".
Team GB's Women's Hockey Team were also there although goalkeeper Maddie Hinch, who saved all four penalties in the shootout in the final against the Netherlands, nearly missed the parade.
Her flight from the Netherlands, where she now plays, was cancelled but luckily three hours later she was on the way.
Paralympians were also out in force including Jonnie Peacock, Jody Cundy, Ellie Robinson, Ellie Simmonds and Richard Whitehead.
Sue Murphy, deputy leader of Manchester City Council, said: "We couldn't be more thrilled to host the national parade."
She added: "The city has been a medal factory, pumping out golds as the home of British Cycling and British Taekwondo."
Many of Team GB's heroes and the Paralympic stars have lived and trained around Greater Manchester.
BBC One will broadcast a 30 minute highlights show from 20:30
On Thursday, India approved the $14.7bn (£9.7bn) deal for Japan to build the high-speed train line.
The highly-anticipated multi-billion-dollar deal is being seen as one of the biggest foreign investments in India's ageing infrastructure.
China is also bidding to build high-speed bullet train lines in India.
Mr Abe will meet business and government leaders and visit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's constituency of Varanasi on Saturday.
The two leaders are expected to discuss defence ties and a civil nuclear agreement, in addition to finalising the agreement on the train line.
Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told the AFP news agency that the visit would strengthen cooperation in a "wide range of fields".
Mr Abe and Mr Modi had agreed at a 2014 summit in Tokyo to accelerate talks on a nuclear energy pact.
They also agreed to strengthen security ties and Mr Modi welcomed Japan's easing of restrictions on exports of defence equipment and technology.
The two leaders enjoy a close friendship and Mr Modi chose Japan as the destination for his first bilateral visit outside South Asia after he was elected prime minister in May 2014.
In announcing his purchase, Mr Demoulas told workers, who had gone on strike in July to protest against his firing, "You are simply the best".
The 70-plus stores belonging to the chain are mostly located in the northeastern United States.
It was estimated the company was losing $70m (£42m) a day during the strike.
Late on Wednesday, Mr Demoulas announced that he had reached an agreement to purchase the 50.5% of the company he did not control from a rival faction controlled by his cousin, Arthur S Demoulas, for $1.5bn.
"Words cannot express how much I appreciate each and every one of you," Mr Demoulas said while addressing workers outside the company's Massachusetts headquarters on Thursday morning.
The company employs roughly 25,000 people in the area.
The saga - which had shades of a soap opera - began in June, when Mr Demoulas was ousted as chief executive of the company by a rival faction of his family, which controlled 50.5% of the firm.
The dispute was said to have been over a series of investments Mr Demoulas had authorised, which led to large losses and smaller payouts for Market Basket's shareholders.
However, the dispute simmered for a month until the new management fired eight workers who had protested against Mr Demoulas's demise in July.
That is when a campaign led by Market Basket workers and customers to "Save Market Basket" began to gather steam.
Workers went on strike, truck drivers refused to deliver fresh produce and meat, and shoppers boycotted stores, leading to empty shelves and the near-collapse of the firm.
Efforts on social media also paid off, with an anonymously-run Facebook page to save the firm gathering over 90,000 likes and the hashtag, #MarketBasket, trending often on Twitter.
This brought national and international attention to the plight of the workers, stunning many in the industry both because the workers were not unionised and because they were campaigning for an almost-unheard of thing: the reinstatement of their boss.
Although negotiations between Mr Demoulas and his cousin, Arthur S Demoulas, continued through July, tensions were further agitated when Market Basket's new co-chief executives announced a job fair in early August to hire replacement workers.
'In awe'
Now, those workers are breathing a sigh of relief.
Many tweeted pictures of newly-stocked shelves at several stores where meat counters and fresh produce areas had been empty for the past few weeks.
The question now is whether the chain, which has been essentially not in operation for two months, can recover from the essential collapse of its operations.
Boycotting customers said they would return to shop at the store immediately, as the chain is known for its lower-than-average prices.
"See you at 7 AM tomorrow to buy anything on the shelves!!!! I don't even have a dog but I'll buy dog food if needed!!" wrote one.
Mr Demoulas, in finishing his address to workers before going to inspect several processing facilities, echoed the sentiments of many participants and observers when he said:
"I am in awe of what you have all accomplished."
They will set off on 8 April next year from Southampton to retrace RMS Titanic's route across the Atlantic.
A special memorial ceremony will be held on board the cruise ship Balmoral at the time the ship went down.
Titanic hit an iceberg at 23:40 on 14 April and sank two hours and 40 minutes later, with the loss of 1,517 lives.
The wreck still rests on the seabed where it sank, 375 miles south east of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Jane Allen, from Devon, said: "We wish to commemorate our relative, Thomas Pears, who died on the Titanic.
"His story has been a big part of our lives. His widow Edith survived in Lifeboat 8."
Philip Littlejohn, grandson of Titanic survivor Alexander James Littlejohn and the only Titanic relative to have made the dive to the wreck site, will also make the trip.
He said: "I'm sure my grandfather, a First Class steward on Titanic, would be proud to know his story will be shared.
"It will be an emotional moment when we are over the wreck site, where I dived in 2001, and where my grandfather left Titanic rowing Lifeboat 13."
Another relative taking part will be author Arthur Cropley, the great-nephew of Charles Lightoller, the second officer of the Titanic.
Mr Lightoller survived the sinking, helping with the evacuation of passengers.
He was portrayed by actor Kenneth More in the 1958 film A Night To Remember, with the character also featuring in the Oscar-winning 1997 film, Titanic.
Mr Lightoller helped in the evacuation of British troops at Dunkirk in 1940. He died, aged 78, in 1952.
The Balmoral will be joined by another cruise ship, Azamara Journey, which will sail from New York to take part in the ceremony.
Azamara Journey will call at Halifax, where guests will visit Fairview Lawn Cemetery where 121 of Titanic's unclaimed victims were buried.
A referendum will be held on 5 May on adding about £25 a year to the bill of the average band D property in Devon and Cornwall.
Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Tony Hogg said a 15% the rise could save 350 officers.
It came as the government said changes to the way money was allocated to police would be delayed.
Figures between a 10% and 25% increase were being considered, but senior police sources told the BBC a 15% option was considered a "workable compromise".
Devon and Cornwall Police is expecting a budget cut of £54m a year, with the loss of up to 760 police officers and all 360 community support officers.
The Home Office said: "Crime has been falling, and the police can still find further efficiencies without harming frontline services."
The public consultation will run until Christmas and a YouGov opinion poll will be commissioned as part of the consultation costing under £10,000, Mr Hogg added.
If a referendum is held in May, on the same day as the PCC elections, the estimated cost is about £2m.
Mr Hogg said he had decided not to stand for the role again for family reasons.
Elsewhere, a public consultation and referendum to raise an extra £4.5m for Bedfordshire Police was rejected in May.
Police minister Mike Penning, who announced the delay in allocating money to forces, apologised to the Commons for a "statistical error" in the new formula, which assesses population size and other data to calculate force funding.
The issue had caused "a great deal of concern to police forces", he added.
Andrew White, chief executive to the Devon and Cornwall PCC, who uncovered the error, said the force was "delighted" that the changes were delayed and as the process had lost credibility.
Mr White added: "This is what we have been calling for for some time as the process gradually lost credibility and the admission of the significant errors last week were the final nail in the coffin."
Having won the 2005 World title and 2008 UK crown, Murphy stays on course for a career 'triple crown', after making two breaks of 103 to advance.
He will meet Mark Allen who beat Joe Perry 6-4 earlier in the day.
"For long periods of that match, it was embarrassing," Allen told BBC Sport. "I just could not get anything going.
"I was delivering the cue so badly."
Allen went 3-1 ahead, before England's Perry made breaks of 50, 68 and 67 to make it 4-4. But Northern Irishman Allen made a break of 55 and then clinched the 10th to progress.
Allen went through into his second Masters semi-final but will have to improve significantly if he is to trouble Murphy.
Scotland's Maguire opened with breaks of 137 and 67, before Murphy responded with 103 as he levelled at 2-2.
Some superb potting allowed Englishman Murphy to go ahead in the match for the first time at 4-3, and another century plus the 10th frame gave him victory.

Adrian Hinchliffe guided Laugher and Chris Mears to Team GB's first ever Olympic diving gold in Rio.
He is employed by Leeds City Council and worked for British Diving as a consultant but wanted to make a full-time switch to prepare for Tokyo 2020.
However, British Diving failed to make an offer and Hinchliffe has joined Australia Diving as head coach.
"He's achieved things as a coach that no-one in this country has ever done before and it's a massive insult to me and to Ady," Laugher told BBC Look North.
"British Diving and the national performance director [Alexei Evangulov] have really overlooked how much of a key part he is.
"To have someone like Ady say 'sack this I'm leaving', well it should never have got to this point."
In a statement, British Swimming, of which British Diving is a part, said: "British Diving is obviously disappointed with Ady's decision to move on to work in Australia, as he has done great things for the sport.
"We were aware that he wanted to work with the sport full-time and we were in the process of beginning discussions but unfortunately timescales didn't allow these to conclude.
"We'd like to thank him for all of his hard work and dedication, and we wish him well for the future in Australia."
In addition to Laugher and Mears, Olympic bronze medallist Daniel Goodfellow, Commonwealth champion Rebecca Gallantree and world junior medallists Lois Toulson and Katherine Torrance are all based at the City of Leeds set-up.
Like Hinchliffe, Plymouth Diving's head coach Andy Banks has enjoyed success - initially with Tom Daley and more recently with the likes of Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow - and is also employed by the local council.
Tom Daley's current coach, Jane Figueredo - who heads Dive London at the 2012 Olympic Aquatics Centre - is employed by British Diving on a full-time contract.
As a result of the squad's successes in Rio and potential for medals in Tokyo, British Diving was awarded a funding increase - from £7.5m to £8.8m - by UK Sport heading into the next Games.
"After the Games it's really tough for sports not knowing what they'll receive, but ours actually went up, but unfortunately we haven't seen that money travel to the coaching staff which is a real shame," Mears told the BBC.
Hinchliffe feels he was left with "no option" but to accept the role with the Australian Diving team.
"To really help those like Jack and Chris as well as the other superstars we had out in Rio keep improving, I needed to be in a full-time role," said Hinchliffe.
"Coaches tend to be humble by their nature - it's the athletes who go up on the podium - but it's such an important role.
"British sport is so successful at the moment and we need to examine all of the components behind that, but in my particular case I just don't think that's happened."
Although he did not place a value on the works, Tate director Sir Nicholas Serota said the gift "greatly enriched the national collection of art".
The nine works have been donated by Austria-based philanthropists Mercedes and Ian Stoutzker.
The works will go on show at Tate Britain in London later this year.
Freud's painting Girl in a Striped Nightdress, or Celia, dates from 1983-85 and shows his lover Celia Paul lying on a bed.
The Hockney work, Savings and Loan Building (1966), is one of a series of paintings he made of a glass building in Los Angeles.
Also included is Rachel Whiteread's commission Maquette for Trafalgar Square Plinth, a translucent cast of the square's fourth plinth that was displayed upon it for four months in 2001.
Other donated items include pieces by Peter Doig, George Shaw and Conrad Shawcross.
Announcing the donation at Tate Britain on Tuesday, Sir Nicholas said the gift had been an act of "pure philanthropy" and there was no tax benefit behind it.
The works represent two generations of British artists - artists from the 1960s and 1970s and younger ones who emerged in the 1990s.
Sir Nicholas said the Stoutzkers had approached him saying they had a number of works that could "fill some gaps" in the Tate's collection.
"In the current climate they were very keen to make this public rather than for it to come on their death, because they wanted to encourage others to give works to the national collection," he said.
"They see that as part of a general wish to encourage philanthropy in this country."
All nine works will be exhibited together at Tate Britain in October at the time of the Frieze Art Fair.
Sir Nicholas said the couple's decision had not been affected by the announcement in the Budget of a cap on tax relief for charitable giving.
"The conversation began well before the announcements," he said.
"But it would not have been affected by the announcement because they are not receiving any tax benefit from making this gift."
"There is a generous giving culture in this country," added Culture Minister Ed Vaizey.
"I'm sure that, as the Chancellor has said, he will listen to the representations about how the changes that he's proposed should be implemented."
In the last quarter of 2016, the firm saw net outflows of £10.5bn, which were partially offset by market gains of £3.3bn.
Aberdeen reported that the bulk of outflows were "largely low margin and anticipated".
It said investor sentiment "stalled" following the US election result.
Assets under management fell by 3% over the quarter to £302.7bn.
The firm said the rationalisation of its US fixed income business accounted for £2.2bn of the reduction.
It added that a further £2.4bn was scheduled to be withdrawn from lower-margin portfolios during the current quarter.
In a trading update, Aberdeen said it continued to make "encouraging progress across all asset classes, with a healthy level of client interest and demand".
Chief executive Martin Gilbert added: "Investor sentiment had been improving steadily in the early part of the quarter, but stalled following the US presidential election result with investors putting asset allocation decisions on hold.
"Encouragingly, despite the market volatility our equity strategies produced strong returns for the year.
"While growing interest in a number of our strategies is likely to continue to be masked, in the short-term, by significant withdrawals by a small number of clients, I am encouraged by the progress being made.
"Overall Aberdeen remains in good shape, we have a strong balance sheet, a global client base and wide range of capabilities to meet the needs of investors."
The company's share price fell in early trading, following the update. At 11:30, it was down about 3.4%, at 249.40p.
Mr Kicillof's talks with "hold-out" investors ended late on Tuesday night in New York without agreement.
They are demanding a full pay-out of $1.3bn (£766m) on the bonds they hold.
A US judge has ruled that the "hold-outs" must be paid by Wednesday night if no deal is agreed.
But thousands of miles away in Buenos Aires, many are sceptical that there can be any agreement.
The government's rhetoric has been clear.
The "hold-outs" are US hedge funds that bought debt on the cheap during Argentina's darkest hours and never agreed to restructuring.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner calls them vultures, accusing them of taking advantage of Argentina's debt problems to make a big profit.
What makes the problem worse is that if the "hold-outs" get their way, other bondholders who agreed to take cuts of up to 70% in what they are owed may also demand full repayment.
Ask people on the street about their view on Argentina's debt troubles and most admit it is too complicated for them to understand.
But the two words they do know are "fondos buitres" - "vulture funds" in Spanish.
Despite the defiant tone of the government, many people seem resigned. Argentina has defaulted before and it will do it again.
I met Carina Etchegaray, the mother of two children aged 14 and 16.
When Argentina last defaulted at the end of 2001, she lost huge amounts of savings.
She had wanted to buy a house for her young family. But at the end of 2001, the government introduced what was known as the "corralito". It literally means a small enclosure in Spanish, but refers to when the government partially froze bank accounts and people were stopped from taking money out.
"When we finally had the money, because of devaluation, we could only buy a car for the same quantity of money we had for a house," she says.
But she is also practical.
"We live with this shadow of crisis. You have to continue with your life because you have children and have to work.
"You have to adapt - in this country, it's the way of life."
And that is what entrepreneur Federico Dumas is doing too - but not in the way that Argentina would hope.
He has a software company, but says he is not investing as he would like to.
"I'm afraid of everything and my customers are not willing to invest, so that will affect my business," he says, adding that he is hopeful Argentina's problems will be solved reasonably.
"But if the country goes into default, I'm very afraid of what's going to happen to my business and my employees."
Default or not, when I met Guillermo Nielsen, the man who led the negotiations when the country was restructuring its debts in 2005, he said what is happening in Argentina is something he had never foreseen.
"I never imagined this - not in my wildest dreams," he says.
"People, although they were unsatisfied and they were very tough negotiations, they knew that Argentina was not able to pay, so that's a very big difference.
"Today, Argentina has the money - back then, we didn't have the money. In my own perception, I think the incoming negotiations are going to be much tougher than the ones we had to go through."
His worry is that if the country defaults, it could trigger what is known as an acceleration clause.
It would mean creditors could make Argentina repay bonds within a much shorter timeframe than previously set out. That, he says, is a real concern.
But all this is speculation. With just a few hours to go, no decisions have been made and it is all still talk.
The detail of what has been discussed is still unclear. As people here say, the Argentine way of doing things will mean talks until the 11th hour.
The vultures will keep circling until then.
It is the first film of Bin Laden to emerge since al-Qaeda released a video address by him in 2007. The Pentagon released the video with the audio removed.
Here is what the clips show:
A relatively long clip of Bin Laden making a statement to camera. He is wearing a white headcovering, a white shirt and a golden robe, and his delivery is in a style similar to that of previous video addresses by the al-Qaeda leader.
He is reading from notes on the table in front of him. He has his hands laid flat on the table, though he occasionally raises his right index finger for emphasis. He is wearing a ring on the little finger of his right hand.
Pentagon officials said it was a message to the United States.
There is no confirmation it was shot at the compound in Abbottabad where Bin Laden was found, but that is where he is said to have been living for the last few years.
Shows Osama Bin Laden watching footage of himself on television. The television is on a small table with what looks like a satellite box next to it.
The al-Qaeda leader is seen sitting in front of the table, apparently cross-legged on a carpeted floor, using a remote control.
He has a blanket over his shoulders and is wearing a black woolen hat. He strokes his beard, which looks grey - not black as in the other video clips.
Two other monitors, both switched off, can be seen in the room. There is what looks like a black sheet to the left of the TV, possibly covering a window.
At the start of the clip a list of channels come up, and it appears that Al-Jazeera is selected.
The images playing on the TV seem to be old footage of the al-Qaeda leader, including shots of him walking in the mountains.
There is also an image of the twin towers in New York in flames on 11 September 2001, with a still photo of Bin Laden superimposed on top of it and Arabic script.
The first of three videos in which Bin Laden appears to be rehearsing for a video message.
He is wearing the same clothes as in the first video, but with a bare wooden panel or door as a backdrop.
A white sleeveless vest is visible under his white shirt.
Here too, Bin Laden seems to be rehearsing.
He starts to talk, then glances to his right uncertainly before continuing to speak to the camera.
He is again wearing a white shirt and hat, though not the gold robe.
The backdrop is plain and dark brown.
Another short clip of Bin Laden dressed in white shirt, hat and golden robe, speaking to camera.
This time the backdrop is what looks like a crumpled blue sheet.
As in the previous videos, he occasionally looks down to read from notes.
The trust opposed the development because of its proximity to the Unesco world heritage site.
It brought a judicial review after Environment Minister Alex Attwood granted planning permission.
Developers have said that work will now start as soon as possible on the resort at Runkerry.
Dr Alistair Hanna, who has been driving the proposals, said it would be one of the "most spectacular golf developments ever seen in Ireland".
"Not only will the resort provide a world-class golf links course and facilities attracting thousands of visitors each year, it will also protect the vulnerable topography of the coastal area which has been left vulnerable following decades of neglect," he said.
Mr Attwood approved the plan to build the complex in February 2012.
The development, on a 365-acre site, is to be known as Bushmills Dunes Golf Resort and Spa.
The plan includes an 18-hole golf course, a five-star 120-bedroom hotel and 70 golf lodges.
Last year, it was reported that the project could create up to 360 new jobs.
However, the trust had argued that the minister should have consulted Unesco before making his decision as it could affect the Causeway's status as a world heritage site.
During the judicial review hearing last month, a lawyer for the trust claimed the minister had been improperly advised.
On Wednesday, Mr Justice Weatherup rejected all grounds of challenge to Mr Attwood's decision.
He backed a counter submission by the Department of the Environment that world heritage convention guidelines have no standing in UK law.
"The court must step away from seeking to implement, directly or indirectly, what obligations there may or may not be under the convention.
"I must not grant to citizens of the state a right that only exists in international law, if it exists at all."
However, he added that there were "a multitude of reasons why the National Trust was warranted in bringing this application and I'm minded not to make any order for costs".
Mr Attwood welcomed the judgement and said "the economic benefits of tourism in the north potentially knows no bounds".
"My decision to grant permission was finely balanced but I was strong in my opinion that it was the right decision on the planning merits. This has now been endorsed by the courts," he said.
In a statement the National Trust said it was "bitterly disappointed" at the decision and that it was convinced the development was wrong.
"We still believe that if a development of this scale does go ahead in this location, the message is that nowhere in Northern Ireland, no matter how important or protected, is safe from development," it said.
"The ruling today has served to highlight aspects of very serious concern for those partners involved in the care and protection of the world heritage site."
The North Antrim MP, Ian Paisley, said it was right that the development goes ahead and that the trust knew they had "no case".
"Their actions I still believe have been disgraceful and damaging for the Northern Ireland economy, but we must take heart in today's decision and look to move forward as the course progresses," he said.
Among those who said the hotel should be built was golfer Darren Clarke.
He said that he "didn't get how" the plans would damage the area when they were further away than a hotel and car park adjacent to the site which is owned by the Trust itself.
The 2011 Open champion called those opposing the plan "treehuggers".
Emergency services were called to the scene near Gower View Foods factory, Cross Hands, Carmarthenshire, at 08:05 BST. The man died at the scene.
A second man was taken to Llanelli's Prince Philip Hospital as a precautionary measure, said the Welsh Ambulance Service.
The Health and Safety Executive is assisting police with their inquiries.
The incident was on the site of a new factory being built for Gower View Foods and next door to its original plant.
Gower View Foods director Jon Lewis said: "We are devastated for the builder and for the family. It's a very sad situation."
A digger has been cordoned off at the scene.
An ambulance service spokesman said: "We sent a rapid response car and two emergency ambulances to the scene, where sadly a man was pronounced dead."
An HSE spokeswoman said: "There was a fatality this morning at Gower Foods in Cross Hands. The HSE is aware and we are assisting police with their enquiries at this stage."
Police said the incident happened on Cardinal O'Fiaich Square.
The square has been closed while police conduct an investigation into the incident.
Robert Ford left the Syrian capital, Damascus, in late October.
He had angered Syrian authorities by showing solidarity with activists involved in an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule.
Meanwhile, France's ambassador returned to Damascus on Monday having been recalled last month, according to AFP.
News of Mr Ford's return came as the US secretary of state met seven members of the opposition Syrian National Council in Geneva.
Hillary Clinton said that democratic transition in Syria - where the UN estimates that more than 4,000 people have been killed since the beginning of the uprising in March - meant more than removing Mr Assad.
"It means setting Syria on the path of the rule of law and protecting the universal rights of all citizens, regardless of sect or ethnicity or gender," she told journalists.
A senior US state department official told reporters that Mr Ford was expected to leave for Damascus later on Tuesday.
"Ambassador Robert Ford has completed his consultations in Washington and is returning to Damascus this evening," the unnamed official said.
Mr Ford left Syria on 24 October as the government crackdown on protesters and a nascent armed insurgency against Mr Assad intensified.
In return, Syria recalled its own envoy in Washington.
An Arabic-speaker who has served in several Arab countries, Mr Ford had expressed solidarity with protesters as well as denouncing Syria's crackdown on its opponents.
He originally arrived in Damascus in January as the first US ambassador to Syria for more than five years.
The French ambassador to Syria, Eric Chevallier, was recalled to Paris on 16 November after attacks on French diplomatic missions in the country.
A spokesman for the French foreign ministry, Romain Nadal, told the AFP news agency that Mr Chevallier's return did not mean that the subjects of concern had disappeared.
"France is more than ever at the side of the Syrian people," he said.
The rock-bottom Sky Blues were punished for defensive errors and have now taken just two points from their last 14 League One outings.
Oldham, who started the day in 21st, led after eight minutes as Ryan Flynn crossed from the right and Coventry defender Kevin Foley horribly miscued his clearance, scoring an own goal from six yards.
The visitors were level just a minute later when Marcus Tudgay seized possession 25 yards out and hit a powerful shot which dipped under the crossbar.
Callum Reilly almost put Coventry ahead with a curling effort against the bar, while George Thomas was denied by Oldham goalkeeper Connor Ripley.
Yet the visitors were guilty of another howler on 66 minutes as keeper Reice Charles-Cook dropped a simple high ball which allowed Oldham skipper Peter Clarke to bundle into the empty net.
The Latics quickly made it 3-1 as Ryan McLaughlin sprinted through half-hearted tackles before drilling into the bottom corner from 14 yards.
Coventry regained hope on 76 minutes as substitute Kwami Thomas buried a header from Ryan Haynes' left-wing cross, but Oldham held on for a vital three points.

For girls in particular, they found the longer spent watching TV, the more likely children were to put on weight.
Researchers say there is now an urgent need to see if similar patterns exist with laptops and mobile phones.
Experts said high levels of screen time exposed children to a damaging combination of risks to health.
Published in the International Journal of Obesity, the study analysed data from more than 12,000 young children in the UK.
Scientists found more than half the children had TVs in their bedrooms at the age of seven.
Parents were also asked to rate how many hours a day children generally spent watching TV.
Later, when the children were 11, researchers plotted their body mass index (a ratio of height and weight) and looked at the percentage of body fat.
Girls who had TVs in their bedrooms at the age of seven were 30% more likely to be overweight when they were 11, compared to children who did not have TVs in their bedrooms.
For boys, the risk was increased by about 20%.
Researcher Dr Anja Heilmann, said: "Our study shows there is clear link between having a TV in the bedroom as a young child and being overweight a few years later."
Researchers say they cannot be sure why the link between TVs and being overweight exists, but suggest it may be down to children getting less sleep when watching TV in their bedrooms or snacking in front of their screens.
And they hypothesise that the stronger link between the hours girls spend watching TV and being overweight could be influenced by girls being less likely to be physically active than boys at this age.
Researchers are calling for strategies designed to prevent childhood obesity to do more to tackle this issue.
Writing in the journal, they say: "While our screens have become flatter, our children have become fatter."
Prof Nick Finer, consultant endocrinologist and bariatric physician at University College London, said the study was "powerful" although it couldn't prove that a bedroom TV directly caused weight gain.
But he added: "It is hard not to think that parents concerned about their child's risk of becoming overweight might appropriately consider not putting a TV in their young children's bedrooms."
Prof Russell Viner, from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) said the findings should be taken seriously.
"With a third of 11-year-old children in England overweight and almost one in five obese, urgently tackling the childhood obesity epidemic is absolutely vital.
"We know that high levels of screen time expose children to increased risks of being overweight on a number of fronts, creating a damaging combination of a more sedentary lifestyle, increased exposure to junk food advertising, disruption to sleep and poorer ability to regulate eating habits when watching TV."
Prof Viner said the study supported their call for a ban on junk food advertising on TV before the 21:00 watershed. | Parents suspected of child abuse should flee the country rather than face justice in the family courts, one MP has told BBC Panorama.

Security firm Eset found the gang controlled its malware, called Turla, by posting comments about images in the singer's gallery.
The comments looked like spam but once transformed by code in the virus, directed victims to other sites.
Several other compromised websites were also being used to track victims and spread the malware.
Turla has been active since 2014 and sought to catch out government workers, diplomats and other officials, said Eset researcher Jean-Ian Boutin. It is believed to be run by a hacker group working for the Russian state.
Most often, he said, Turla's handlers compromised websites that targets would be likely to visit.
One compromised server asked visitors to install a booby-trapped extension for the Firefox web browser.
Digital detective work by Mr Boutin revealed that the command and control (C&C) channel set up between the creators of the extension and victims' machines was on the singer's Instagram page.
The malicious extension searched for comments that, when digitally transformed, matched a specific value. These were then converted into a website address that the compromised machine visited to report in or to update the malicious code they harboured.
Very few comments posted to the Instagram account had the key characteristics - suggesting that Turla's creators were testing or refining the control system.
Mr Boutin said using social media in this way made "life harder for defenders".
"Firstly, it is difficult to distinguish malicious traffic to social media from legitimate traffic," he wrote. "Secondly, it gives the attackers more flexibility when it comes to changing the C&C address as well as erasing all traces of it."
Mr Boutin added that he had been in touch with Mozilla, which was working on ways to stop extensions for Firefox being compromised in this way.
The blaze at Drummonds Mill, on Lumb Lane in Manningham, is being tackled by around 100 firefighters.
It began before 11:30 GMT in the basement of the four-storey building which is currently used for storage.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said the evacuations were a precautionary measure due to high levels of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere.
People were removed from around 100 homes in Lumb Lane, Manningham Lane and Grosvenor Road and were taken to the Richard Dunn Sports Centre.
Staff at the centre said around 28 people remained there and they were not expecting anymore people.
Nayim Rahman, who lives opposite the mill, said: "Pieces of debris were falling from the sky and the thick, black fog in the air was hurting my throat.
"The whole street just started panicking. Fire crews were just rushing everyone out. It was crazy."
Mr Rahman said those evacuated had not been told when it would be safe to return home.
The fire service urged people in Manningham, about a mile north of the city centre, to keep their doors and windows closed.
Acting chief fire officer Dave Walton said conditions had been extremely difficult: "It is tremendously hot in there so crews are working hard to get to the fire.
"It is very thick smoke and intensely hot and very difficult to get to the fire to get water on to it.
"Because of how hard the crews are working in the basement, we are having to recycle them very, very quickly.
"They are working in 20-minute sections with the breathing apparatus and then they need relieving by another crew."
Mr Walton said it was too early to identify what had caused the blaze.
BBC Look North's Heidi Tomlinson said a concrete ceiling in the basement was "intensifying" the heat, making it difficult for firefighters to tackle the source of the fire.
The fire service said the flames spread from the basement to parts of the roof and the priority was to prevent them reaching neighbouring buildings.
Dan Lane, who works in the centre of Bradford, told the BBC it was one of the largest blazes he has seen in the city.
"There is a huge orange glow and massive plume of black cloud right across the centre of Bradford. It is hard to describe just how enormous it is," he said.
Lending to first-time buyers and home movers increased in the third quarter of the year compared with the previous three months.
It was also on the rise compared with the same period last year, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said.
Many borrowers are seeing the benefits of low costs owing to the continuing record low in the Bank rate.
Mark Harris, chief executive of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients, said: "With summer out of the way, lenders have an eye on year-end targets, and with the Bank of England hinting that interest rates might not rise next year, there are some very competitive deals to tempt borrowers."
The CML said that gross mortgage lending totalled £61.4bn in the third quarter of the year. This was up 18% on the previous quarter and a 12% rise on the third quarter of 2014.
Overall in the third quarter, the value of homeowner loans for house purchases accounted for 57% of gross lending. Remortgage activity was 24% of lending, and buy-to-let accounted for 18%.
The motorbike hit a telegraph pole in Burton Road, Branston, shortly before 04:30 GMT.
A man, aged between 25 and 35, died at the scene, the ambulance service said.
Anyone with information on the rider's identity is urged to call Staffordshire Police on 101.
Frederick James Davies, of Lampeter, Ceredigion, described meeting enemy soldiers across No Man's Land on 25 December 1914.
The details were in a letter written to his mother from the front line.
He said they had a "good chat with the Germans on Xmas day".
Soldiers serving in northern France left their trenches along some parts of the Western Front on the first Christmas Day of the conflict to meet the enemy and exchange gifts.
Some are famously said to have played football.
Mr Davies, a private in the 2nd Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, described the brief armistice in correspondence among the collection found by his granddaughter, Jane Oliver.
"They (the German soldiers) were only 50 yards (45m) away from us in the trenches. They came out and we went to meet them," he wrote.
"We shook hands with them. We gave them cigs, jam and corn beef.
"They also gave us cigars but they didn't have much food. I think they are hard up for it. They were fed up with the war."
In the same letter, he described how they had come out of trenches for a few days of rest, commenting that it was nice to sleep away from the wet, although they were still sleeping in their clothes.
"I am happy through it all. It's no use being otherwise," he said.
Mr Davies, who was born in 1886 and joined the army in 1908, also sent home pressed flowers to his mother.
He left the army in 1915 after a trench caved in on him, shattering his spine and leaving him unable to work properly.
He married in 1919 and had three children.
His youngest daughter, Audrey Trenchard, now 86, said he never spoke about his war experiences before his death, aged 61, and "it was so interesting" to read the letters.
"We were so thrilled that Jane had managed to find them and keep them," she said.
"I didn't know about it, being the youngest I hadn't heard any of this. It's wonderful for me to find out about it."
Mrs Trenchard said her father's letters were an "important" reminder "that the Germans weren't all bad".
"They were family men, like ours were," she added.
The on-loan Benfica striker finished off a fine counter attack to score into an empty net before the break.
Ryan Mendes should have made it 2-0 but headed Chris Cohen's free-kick over the bar and also fired an effort wide.
Preston, who stay 10th, four points above Forest in 13th, almost levelled through Jordan Hugill's header.
However, he was denied by Reds keeper Dorus De Vries, who made a superb low diving stop to scoop the ball off the line.
And although Mendes missed another chance that would have avoided a nervy finale, the hosts were able to see out a victory which takes them to within 11 points of the play-off places.
Nottingham Forest boss Dougie Freedman:
"I am very pleased - I thought we deserved to win.
"We could have scored a few more, we created a few chances, although it was a bit nervy towards the end and credit to Preston for that.
"I thought we threatened their goal all night from start to finish, but we had to make sure we got the win after four defeats and we did that."
Preston boss Simon Grayson:
"There wasn't much in the first half, I thought we looked quite comfortable and they didn't threaten us too often.
"We were unfortunate for the goal - they broke quickly on the counter and before you know it the ball's in the net.
"We changed it at half-time to give us a bit of a threat going forward because we have to try and win games at this stage of the season."
The Commons Defence Committee says the MoD should no longer enjoy crown immunity from corporate manslaughter laws in cases of gross negligence.
Since the start of 2000, 135 personnel have died while training.
The MoD said deaths in training were rare, but that "more needs to be done" and it would consider the report.
"The lives of serving personnel are worth no less than those of civilians," said the committee.
"Those responsible for their deaths must be equally liable under the law."
In the last 16 years there have been 89 deaths in the Army, 24 in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, and 22 in the RAF during military training.
In 11 cases, the Health and Safety Executive issued a Crown censure - the highest penalty it can impose on the MoD.
Last year, a coroner concluded that three reservists who died on an SAS selection march in the Brecon Beacons on one of 2013's hottest days died as a result of neglect.
The Army said it accepted it did not carefully manage the risks involved in the exercise.
The committee recommended that the "different circumstances" of reservists compared to full-time regular personnel should be taken into account when devising military training.
It also said the MoD's exemption from corporate manslaughter should continue to apply to military operations.
"While we have found no systemic failings, the MoD has not always got the correct balance between adequate training and reducing risk, resulting in life-changing injuries and deaths in training and selection events," said the committee in its "Beyond Endurance" report.
"We believe the MoD and the armed forces take their 'duty of care' responsibilities seriously. However, some members of the public do not.
"The MoD must take appropriate action to change this perception and reassure the public. Not to do so will continue to undermine confidence in the armed forces."
By Jonathan Beale, defence correspondent, BBC News
The inquest into the deaths of James Dunsby, Edward Maher and Craig Roberts, who all died from the effects of heat-related illness, found serious failings by the Army on that hot July day. But while in theory individuals could be prosecuted for negligence, the Ministry of Defence itself is currently exempt from manslaughter charges. While the MPs accept that this protection might be needed in times of war, they argue when it comes to training it is an anomaly.
Why should the MoD be exempt when nearly every other organisation is not? The MoD has been careful not to dismiss the MPs findings. Not least because the report acknowledges the MoD takes its duty of care seriously, although there is a public perception it does not because of this immunity. Nevertheless it's hard to see the MoD agreeing to this protection being lifted. It might prove to be costly.
Hilary Meredith, chief executive at Hilary Meredith Solicitors Ltd, gave evidence at the Parliamentary Inquiry and described the report as a "major leap forward".
"I think many members of the armed forces accept that if they are in a wartime situation and they are either injured or killed then that's part and parcel of their employment.
"But if there are on manoeuvres or training they don't expect to be injured or killed."
An MoD spokesperson said: "The safety of our personnel is an absolute priority and, while each death is tragic, deaths in training are rare.
"We are grateful for the committee's acknowledgement of how seriously we take the risks associated with training and that we are moving in the right direction.
"We acknowledge that more needs to be done, which is why we set up the Defence Safety Authority last year.
"We will now carefully consider this report and respond in due course."
Abdi Gutale, from Leytonstone, died when a gunman opened fire as he drove down a residential street in Leyton in the early hours of 14 May.
Kingsley Harvey, 25, also from Leytonstone, was arrested on Wednesday and remanded in custody after a hearing at Thames Magistrates' Court.
He will next appear at the Old Bailey on 7 June.
Two men aged 19 and 31 have been arrested on suspicion of murder and released on bail until early July.
A 22-year-old man arrested in London on 18 May has been bailed until late July.
Hassan Mohammed, from Camberwell in south London, was stabbed twice in an attack in Southend on 7 July last year.
Tajwar Alam, 19, of Seaford Road in Tottenham, north London, denied murder but was convicted by a majority verdict at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Mr Mohammed died at Southend Hospital the day after he was stabbed. Alam will be sentenced on 19 June.
Det Ch Insp Simon Werrett said: "This was an incident that resulted in the needless death of a young man.
"The defendant, who has never shown any remorse, will have plenty of time to reflect on his actions in prison.
"This is now an opportunity for Hassan's family to try and move on with their lives."
Mr Mohammed's family said: "Not only was Hassan a loving partner, son, brother, grandson, nephew and uncle, he was a friend to so many people in the community.
"Nothing has been the same since he died. So many hearts have been broken and we as a family still grieve for his loss.
"The neighbourhood also remains in shock at his passing.
"It has been very difficult for us to attend court every day to listen to the distressing details of what happened to him.
"All we have wanted is for justice to be served on behalf of Hassan."
Five other men who were charged in connection with Mr Mohammed's murder were acquitted and formally dismissed during the trial. They will face no further action.
The 24-year-old hit 11 fours as he shared a 73-run fourth-wicket partnership with Hamish Marshall (51).
Marshall departed after being caught well by Jesse Ryder attempting to drive Jamie Porter, whose four wickets restricted the away side to just 262.
In reply, Liam Nowell trapped Nick Browne for one but England captain Alistair Cook helped Essex reach 39-1.
He told me that he and his wife were undecided about whether they should allow their two daughters to watch the presidential debate because of the subject matter that was likely to be discussed.
I asked Robert if it was OK to tweet what he had just told me, and he agreed. Very quickly dozens of people contacted me to say they were wrestling with the same dilemma.
A presidential debate. Civic engagement, for goodness sake! And parents are afraid to let their children watch?
We've gone way lower than any limbo dancer would dare. This is unbelievably sad. I totally get that kids might not want to watch because they might find it mind-numbing and would rather undergo root canal treatment.
But because their parents are worried about the sexually graphic nature of what the two candidates might be discussing? What have we become?
Politics has always been a contact sport and, yes, part of the fun of reporting is when it gets a bit nasty and personal. But this was something else.
Two hours before last night's debate got under way, Mr Trump conducted a Facebook Live with three women who claim that Bill Clinton had sexually assaulted them and one who had been raped by a man who was represented in court by Hillary Clinton during her public defender years.
The top secret plan, confirmed by his surrogate-in-chief Rudy Giuliani, was to bring them into the elevated family box that each candidate had been allocated. That way, Bill Clinton would have to walk past them on the debate stage before battle commenced. And they would then be in Hillary Clinton's eye-line throughout.
You've got to hand it to Donald Trump - he knows how to make good television. All that time spent hosting The Apprentice wasn't for nothing.
It would have been road-crash television of the most lurid order - which of course is exactly what he wanted to achieve. Unfortunately those non-partisan spoilsports from the Commission on Presidential Debates vetoed the idea once they got wind of it.
The idea of the debate is to discuss policy, the commission seems to think, not to go in for ritual humiliation and intimidation as though it were some gameshow. The women had to take their place in the wider audience.
But Donald Trump ensured they got the publicity he wanted.
The Trump strategy seemed to be while you might think he was bad after hearing him brag about grabbing women by the - oh let's just say the word he used - pussy, but that Bill Clinton is way, way worse. So he recycled all the claims, as though somehow Hillary Clinton was culpable for her husband's actions.
She didn't bite. She simply didn't engage.
I'm not sure why I'm surprised (and maybe a little bit depressed) at any of this. After all, so far during this campaign I have discussed - on air - such key political topics topics as menstruation and penis size.
The Republican leadership had been urging Trump not to go down this path.
First, they thought there was no polling evidence to suggest that this would do anything to help his sagging poll numbers - and actually might send independents and women Clinton's way in sympathy.
Secondly, it would be a distraction from the messages that really were connecting with people - on trade, jobs, healthcare, national security.
For what it's worth, I thought he did really well on those subjects last night. He was much more focused in his attacks on Clinton. She looked vulnerable and gave wordy answers.
And on his central message - that if you yearn for change don't entrust it to someone who has 30 years to bring that about, and hasn't - he scored a number of direct hits.
But is anyone discussing that today? Is anyone talking about replacing Obamacare? Or renegotiating trade deals? Or jobs?
No,it's the exchanges over sex. And Trump's pledge to lock his opponent up if he becomes president.
As my bureau chief (who was Middle East bureau chief before he came to the US) tweeted last night, who says Donald Trump doesn't understand Middle-Eastern politics?
Is this what Donald Trump wanted? Has he got the coverage he sought? Maybe it is. But it doesn't seem to have taken him any closer to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Leading scorer James Collins put Crawley on course for a fifth successive home win with a first-half penalty, his 14th league goal of the season.
But Godden levelled in the 76th minute and then pounced to settle the issue with his second goal in the fifth minute of added time.
Crawley, who have scored in every home game bar one this season, had an early let-off when goalkeeper Glenn Morris saved at the feet of the on-rushing Ben Kennedy.
The hosts broke the deadlock after 28 minutes when Collins scored for the sixth home game, converting from the penalty spot after being brought down by Luke Wilkinson.
Godden put the ball over from a good position for Stevenage before Dean Cox fired wide for the hosts, and Kennedy was again denied by Morris after Godden seized on a defensive lapse by Joe McNerney.
Crawley forward Enzio Boldewijn should have tested keeper Jamie Jones after 63 minutes but fired over following a cross from Cox.
Stevenage midfielder Tom Pett threatened to bring his side level following a strong run, but his low shot was parried by Morris.
Boro levelled through a close-range shot from Godden after a deflected effort by substitute Josh McQuoid, and his 13th league goal of the season snatched all three points.

Armstrong, 43, was given a life ban from all sport and stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for doping.
McQuaid, former president of world governing body the International Cycling Union (UCI), said he had "a certain sympathy" with the American.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "He was very much made a scapegoat, there was a witch hunt after Armstrong."
The Irishman was UCI president from 2006 to 2013 before being replaced by Brian Cookson.
McQuaid was speaking following a BBC interview with Armstrong in which the cyclist criticised current incumbent Cookson for his handling of the Astana doping affair.
When a United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) report published in October 2012 labelled Armstrong a "serial" cheat, McQuaid - still in his UCI role - said the Texan had "no place in cycling".
But McQuaid now says Armstrong was treated differently from other cyclists who were also doping.
He explained: "That's the way it was. Usada wanted a big name.
"They weren't really interested in the smaller riders and also they made deals with the smaller riders in order to get the information they needed on the big guys.
"I can have a certain sympathy because I don't think in sport, people in those situations, I think they should be treated equally."
The media take care not to cross editorial red lines and journalists are subject to surveillance by the intelligence services, says Reporters Without Borders.
Security grounds are used to prosecute and sometimes jail journalists, the group says.
TV is the most popular medium and domestic channels compete for audiences with pan-Arab stations, especially UAE-based MBC.
Jordan Media City - one of the first such ventures in the region - aims to attract media investments and operates as a regional hub for satellite TV broadcasts.
BBC World Service radio in Arabic broadcasts on FM in Amman (103.1) and in northern Jordan (89.1). Private, music-based FM radio stations have sprung up.
Around 3.5 million Jordanians had internet access by mid-2016 (InternetLiveStats).
The press law gives officials the power to block and censor websites. Site owners are responsible for posted comments and news websites must have a licence from the government.
Facebook is the most popular social platform and is used by nearly 50% of Jordanians. Queen Rania has used YouTube for public diplomacy and she is active on Twitter.
Matthew Scully Hicks, 31, entered a not guilty plea to the charge at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday.
Mr Hicks is accused of killing Elsie Scully Hicks on 29 May, 2016.
A trial has been fixed for 12 June and it is expected to last four weeks. Mr Hicks was released on bail.
The three-time Italian prime minister has been convicted of paying Ms Mahroug for sex when she was too young to be a prostitute, and of misusing his position to spring her from a police cell.
She may now be only 20, but by her own admission, Ms Mahroug - a night-club dancer who went by the stage name Ruby Rubacuori, or Ruby Heartstealer - has not been shielded from the darker sides of life.
She says that, as a child, she was a victim of rape and abuse.
She has been in and out of care since running away from home at - reports say - either 12 or 14 years old.
The transcripts of tapped telephone conversations quoted in Italian media suggest she began her acquaintance with Mr Berlusconi when she was just 16 years old.
But Ms Mahroug has sought to draw a distinction between her treatment by men in general and her treatment by Mr Berlusconi.
"It is the first time in my life that a man has not tried to take me to bed. He behaved like a father, I swear," she told Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
She denies any sexual relationship with Mr Berlusconi, saying he was just a lonely man who paid to be in the company of young women.
Karima El Mahroug reportedly arrived in Italy with her family from Morocco in 2003, settling in the eastern Sicilian coastal town of Letojanni.
Her childhood was a difficult one, she said in an interview on one of the TV channels owned by Mr Berlusconi.
"When I was nine years old, I was raped by two of my uncles - my father's brothers," she was quoted as saying.
"The only person who I dared to talk to about what happened, my mother, said, 'Keep quiet, because if your dad finds out you're not a virgin, he'll kill you,'" she said.
After she was raped, she said she invented a "parallel world" to block out the memories.
"I told my schoolmates I had a marvellous family, and I pretended I was Wonderwoman."
But at 12, her Muslim father threw a pan of boiling oil over her after she said she wanted to become a Catholic, Ms Mahroug claimed.
Other reports suggest she was known in the local town for her fiery character and for being a petty thief.
She ran away, stealing a woman's handbag, before being found by police and sent to a series of care homes.
Later, Ms Mahroug became a belly dancer but denied ever working as a prostitute. "I tried but I didn't succeed. Like my mother told me, you're born a hooker, you don't become one."
She is said to have met Mr Berlusconi after one of his friends spotted her in a nightclub - the introduction arranged by Nicole Minetti, the prime minister's former dental hygienist who is alleged to have procured women for his parties - and admits spending nights at his residence.
Their relationship came to light after Ms Mahroug was arrested by Milan police on a charge of theft but was released - controversially handed over to Ms Minetti rather than put into care - after a phone call from the prime minister himself.
Mr Berlusconi told police she was a grand-daughter or niece of then Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and demanded her freedom to avoid a diplomatic incident. He told the court that was what he believed at the time.
Mr Berlusconi claims he gave money, gifts and help to Ms Mahroug out of pity, while she also denies any sexual aspect of their relationship.
In another interview, she said he staved off loneliness by buying affection - something she said she could relate to, as she often sent money to her estranged father.
"He is alone and fights loneliness, a bit like I do," Ms Mahroug reportedly said. "I pay to get my father's affection; he pays for young women."
Being called as a witness in at least two investigations, she has often given conflicting evidence.
She said she had invented details about erotic parties held at Mr Berlusconi's villa, and she said she had lied to investigators when she said was paid a large amount of money to attend.
Prosecutor Ilda Boccassini told a Milan court that Ms Mahroug was "part of a prostitution system set up for the personal sexual satisfaction of the defendant", that she quickly became the his "favourite" and had been paid as much as 4.5m euros (£3.8m) to keep their relationship quiet.
Ms Mahroug turned her role in the scandal to her advantage, appearing in lucrative TV interviews, adverts and by making special appearances in nightclubs around Italy.
She is now a mother and reportedly married to a nightclub manager.
Finance Minister Guido Mantega told reporters: "It was a surprise even for the government."
The economy shrank in the third quarter of 2013. Many economists had expected it to shrink again and fall into recession.
Over the whole year it has grown by 2.3%, helped by strong consumer spending and investment.
But growth in agriculture was flat and industry shrank by 0.2% in the last quarter.
The figures offer some support for President Dilma Rousseff as she tries to woo investors before she stands for re-election in October.
The fact that there was a 6.3% jump in investment will help her persuade businesses that confidence is returning.
The government has also promised to cut $18.5bn (£11.1bn) in public spending to bring its deficit under control.
The Central Bank put interest rates up on Wednesday to 10.75% - the same level they were at when President Rousseff took office in 2011.
Inflation has fallen back to 5.6% after peaking at 6.7% in June.
The cutting of interest rates early on in her tenure helped growth but caused inflation and a fall in the currency. Since 2011 the Brazilian currency, the real, has fallen from 1.70 to the dollar to 2.35.
The decline in Brazil's fortunes, the fall off in public services, continuing corruption and what is seen as excessive spending on the World Cup has brought protesters out on to the streets over the last year.
The economy rode a commodity boom under former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, growing on average 4%. In 2010, growth peaked at over 7%.
But it became over-dependent on the Chinese market with exports to China growing at roughly four times the rate of total exports between 2000 and 2010.
Chinese imports of soy, for example, represent over 40% of Brazil's exports.
As Chinese demand fell away, Brazilian growth stuttered, weighed down by poor infrastructure, high consumer debt and sagging business confidence.
The BBC understands an undisclosed buyer will turn Dee House into a hotel, restaurant and bar.
Campaigner Adam Dandy said the plan's critics feel "ignored" by the council.
But the Labour-run council has insisted the proposal will "transform that area of the city".
A Cheshire West and Chester Council committee decided on Thursday not to make any recommendations about the deal which means council officials can now authorise its completion.
It will see the buyer, whose identity was not revealed by the council, sign a 150-year lease for the derelict 18th Century listed building, which has been empty since 1993.
The BBC has learnt the council's preferred bidder will restore it without adding new buildings. There will be minimal impact on the archaeological remains.
The plan includes improved public areas and viewing points, as well as a small interpretation room or cafe with an estimated £6m renovation cost.
The deal was called in for further scrutiny by Conservative councillors after the cabinet's authorisation in July.
The amphitheatre was partly uncovered in the 1960s, 2,000 years after it was built as part of a major legionary fortress called Deva with the unexcavated remainder behind a brick wall and underneath Dee House.
Dig Up Deva campaign organiser Adam Dandy, who gathered an 18,000 signature petition, said the sale destroyed thousands of "people's long-held desires to see (the amphitheatre) uncovered in part or in full in their lifetime".
It also ignored the wishes of the Romans 2,000 years ago, that Deva should "have a whole amphitheatre for Cestrians to enjoy".
Conservative Jill Houlbrook said it could be "the jewel in Chester's crown", and claimed the decision was not based on "open consultation".
But Labour cabinet member Louise Gittins said: "We'd never move forward as a council if we had a consultation on every single detail".
Ms Gittins added: "Everything starts now. We're going to transform that area of the city. It's going to be amazing".

"Anything goes under the water and players compete to gain whatever advantage they can. For Team GB, the women should fight for the bronze medal. They are led by Sam Leighton, who sets a great example to her team. For the men, Craig Figes's side have been given an incredibly hard draw for the group stage with heavyweights Serbia and Hungary in there with them. London 2012 will be the swansong for Hungary's Tamas Kasas, who is looking to end his Olympic career with a fourth successive gold medal. Brenda Villa is tiny by water polo standards but she'll be hoping to inspire the United States' women to success."
For Great Britain, there has been nothing to cheer since winning four of the first five Olympic tournaments and the country has not even qualified since 1956.
Host nation status means both men and women will have teams at London, although medals are unlikely to be on the cards.
Hungary are the sport's most successful Olympic team with 15 medals, including nine golds, and have won the last three men's titles. However, they are yet to win a medal in the women's event, which was introduced at the 2000 Games in Sydney.
Russia (previously the Soviet Union), Serbia (previously Yugoslavia), Italy and the USA have also performed consistently well down the years.
Water polo combines the shooting skills of handball, the ball-handling skills of basketball or netball, and the speed and stamina of swimming.
Players can swim up three miles at a high tempo in the course of a match. This means you can burn approximately 465 calories during a game, making it an excellent way to lose body fat.
As it is a team game, water polo is an excellent way to develop communication skills and learn to work effectively with other people.
Clubs also offer a variety of social events beyond simply playing the sport.
Water polo works many of the muscle groups in the body. The leg muscles are in constant motion as players keep themselves afloat, while the ball-throwing action strengthens arm muscles.
The effort of intensive swimming combined with fighting for possession helps boost cardiovascular fitness and lower blood pressure.
For those looking to take part, there are more than 300 water polo clubs in the United Kingdom. People in England, Wales and Scotland can visit the British Swimming team sports page for details of where you can play.
The Swim Ulster websites contains information for where people in Northern Ireland can find their nearest club.

Each nation has a 13-man squad, with seven allowed in the pool at any one time. The number of substitutions are unlimited.
Matches consist of four periods, each of them eight minutes long. A team has just 30 seconds to attempt to score before the ball is returned to the opposition.
Hungary came from 7-5 down to beat Serbia 8-7 in the Athens 2004 final, with Gergely Kiss scoring the winning goal
Whenever the referee whistles, the clock and play both stop.
At the start of each period, players line up on their goal line and the ball is released from a special float in the centre of the pool.
Only the goalkeeper can touch or hold the ball with both hands, but a goal can be scored by any part of the body apart from the clenched fist.
Players are not allowed to touch the sides or the bottom of the pool during play.
In each group stage match, two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a defeat.
If, at the end of a knockout match, the score is tied, two further three-minute periods will be played. A penalty shoot-out of five penalties per team will take place if no winner emerges.
If the match still remains tied, a sudden-death shoot-out will take place.

Both the Team GB men's and women's sides will have their work cut out against the powerhouses of world water polo.
The women, already through to the quarter-finals as the group stage is used to determine who plays who in the last eight, will struggle to go further. The men will do well to reach the quarter-finals, with four teams set to bow out after their group games.
Serbia are men's World League, World Cup and European champions, but Italy beat them in the final of the World Championships last year. Croatia and Montenegro are also strong, while Hungary are looking for a fourth straight gold.
The women's event is wide open, with USA, Italy, Greece and China among the contenders for the title.
So called because in its earliest days players rode on floating barrels that resembled mock horses, and swung at the ball with mallet-like sticks, water polo was developed in Europe and the United States as two differing sports.
The modern form of the game is based on the European version and made its Olympic debut at the Paris Games in 1900 when Great Britain won gold.
Wedgies - where players pull up an opponent's swimming costume to cause eye-watering discomfort - are so commonplace in the women's game that some teams, including the Spanish, have taken to giving themselves wedgies before matches in order to prevent them during play
Their superiority over Belgium in the final was such that they limited the amount of shots they took to spare their opponents' embarrassment.
The early version of the sport bore a key difference to the one we now know - swimming was not necessary.
Instead, those first Olympic medals were contested in pools only deep enough for a spot of advanced wading. As a result many of the players could not actually swim.
During the 1920s though, games were switched to larger, deeper pools. Swimming became a prerequisite and the sport advanced from little more than a holiday pastime to a skilled and physically demanding sport.
It was not included in 1904 but has appeared at each subsequent edition of the Games, with the women's event introduced in 2000.

The actor, however, said that neither he nor his filmmaker wife Kiran Rao had any intention of leaving India.
Khan had said he was "alarmed" over rising intolerance and his wife had even suggested leaving the country.
The ruling BJP said he should not forget that India made him a star, and it was wrong to malign the country.
Following criticism from BJP politicians and several of his Bollywood colleagues, Khan on Wednesday put out a statement on his Facebook page.
"Let me state categorically that neither I, nor my wife Kiran, have any intention of leaving the country. We never did, and nor would we like to in the future.
"Anyone implying the opposite has either not seen my interview or is deliberately trying to distort what I have said. India is my country, I love it, I feel fortunate for being born here, and this is where I am staying," the actor wrote.
Khan said he stood by his earlier statement, and added that all those people who had called him "anti-national" and shouted "obscenities at me for speaking my heart out, it saddens me to say you are only proving my point".
Actor, director and producer Khan told a journalism awards ceremony organised by The Indian Express newspaper on Monday that a sense of "insecurity" and "fear" had been growing in India.
BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain had criticised Khan's remarks and said there was a "political conspiracy to defame India" and there was "no better neighbour than a Hindu for a Muslim".
Another BJP spokesperson, Sambit Patra, said that "Aamir Khan is the face of 'Incredible India' [a TV campaign by Mr Khan to promote tourism], how can he make such a remark? I request Aamir Khan not to leave India and he won't find another nation like it".
Actor and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said "it is unfortunate that Aamir Khan says intolerance is on the rise in India".
In recent weeks, many actors, writers and scientists have expressed concern over growing intolerance in India.
Earlier this month, fellow superstar Shah Rukh Khan also spoke out against what he called "extreme intolerance" in India.
A movement that began with writers returning state awards spread to scientists, historians and filmmakers.
They cited the killing of rationalists MM Kalburgi and Govind Pansare, as well as the lynching of a man over suspicions he consumed beef, as examples of rising intolerance in the country.
The Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals found Live Oak High School near San Jose used the ban to avoid violence.
The school has had a history of problems between Latino and white students on Cinco de Mayo.
A lawyer for the students has said he plans to appeal the verdict.
"It was reasonable for school officials to proceed as though the threat of a potentially violent disturbance was real," Judge Margaret McKeown wrote in Thursday's unanimous opinion.
School staff at the 5 May 2010 event reportedly told students wearing US flag T-shirts to turn them inside out, take them off or go home.
Four of the students chose to go home, and parents of three of the youths involved later filed lawsuits alleging the school had violated federal and state constitutional rights to freedom of expression.
The boys' lawyers said they would ask an 11-judge panel of the appeals court to rehear the case, and appeal up to the US Supreme Court if necessary.
Robert Muise, a lawyer who argued the case before the Ninth Circuit, said: "It is truly a sad day when government officials are permitted to ban the American flag on a public high school campus for any reason."
Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Battle of Puebla on 5 May 1862 when Mexican troops defeated Napoleon III's French army.
On Friday morning, the streets of Bangkok were lined with thousands of grieving Thais - many of whom had camped out overnight.
King Bhumibol's body was moved from Siriraj Hospital to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in the Grand Palace, the official residence of the Kings of Siam, where his funeral rites will take place.
Palace officials said the body would be placed in a coffin with a symbolic royal urn near it.
Soldiers in ceremonial dress have been gathering outside the palace, where the grass appears to have been freshly laid overnight.
The procession was expected to be led by a senior monk, Somdej Phrawannarat, who also led the prayers during the 2008 funeral of the king's elder sister, Princess Galyani Vadhana.
The Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, who has been named as successor, will also be at the procession.
The royal family travelled to the Grand Palace by motorcade.
On Friday evening, Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn will conduct the bathing ceremony for his father's body - a traditional Thai Buddhist funeral rite.
Buddhist monks will conduct chants over the king's remains for at least 100 days.
Before a Buddhist funeral, family and friends repeatedly pour scented water over the hands of the deceased using a special flask. The water is meant to ritually purify the body, bringing blessings.
In the grounds of the Grand Palace, thousands of ordinary Thais are queuing for the chance to kneel before a portrait of the king and pour water on it, to replicate the symbolic bathing of his body.
Thais mourn death of King Bhumibol
Thai mourning: What should tourists do?
Thai social media remembers King Bhumibol
As yet no date has been set for the king's cremation, but in the days to come he will be ceremoniously embalmed and tied in the foetal position.
Royal funerals usually last seven days in Thailand, and are held months or even years after the death so the state can prepare a lavish farewell. King Bhumibol's is expected to be highly ceremonial and full of pageantry.
When Princess Galyani Vadhana died in 2008, her funeral ceremony cost an estimated $9m (£6.1m). It featured three processions of soldiers, conch shell-blowers, drummers, and musicians, and her remains were carried in a 14-tonne golden carriage.
The Thai word for the death of a monarch is "sawannakhot", which means "return to heaven". The deceased royal is believed to return to the Dawadungsa level of heaven, above Mount Meru, the centre of the universe, where they wait to be reincarnated.
Friday has been declared a public holiday in Thailand. Many Thai newspapers sold out early, reflecting the historic day. Most had printed in black and white, while many online news sites have done the same. Even Google Thailand has muted its usual colours for the occasion.
Flags are set to fly at half-mast for the next 30 days, and concerts, cinema screenings, and sports events have been cancelled or postponed. People have been asked to wear black and avoid "joyful events" for the next month. A government hotline has been established to offer the public grief counselling.
Stephen Gough, 54, of Chamberlayne Road, Eastleigh pleaded not guilty to the charges of behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
District Judge Anthony Calloway said members of the public had been "distressed" at seeing Gough nude.
Payment of the £1,800 fine was waived in lieu of time served in custody.
District Judge Calloway said there were "elements of the defendant as an exhibitionist".
Gough was banned from entering Southampton Magistrates' Court after he refused to wear clothes for the trial.
Charles Nightingale, prosecuting, said in several of the offences Gough was seen by parents with young children who were "shocked and alarmed" at seeing him naked.
He said the offences, which occurred in February, took place in various locations in Hampshire including outside a primary school, on country footpaths, in Southampton city centre and at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court.
Tom Stevens, defending, said his client believed his nudity was allowed under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act which protects freedom of expression.
District Judge Calloway said: "The human body is not a shameful thing, it is about context."
Gough remains in custody as he awaits trial for a further charge of an alleged breach of an anti-social behaviour order banning him from being naked in public.
He is due to appear at Southampton Crown Court on 19 June.
Gough gained notoriety in 2003 and 2005 when he walked naked from Land's End to John O'Groats and was the subject of a TV documentary.
The teenager was attacked as he walked home in the early hours of Saturday, in the Falls Park area.
Gerard Scannell, 39, of Ballymurphy Road was charged with three counts of rape and one of sexual assault.
There was no application for bail, but Mr Scannell's barrister said there were consistent denials of the allegations during police interviews.
The prosecution said any future bail application would be objected to strongly. The accused was remanded in custody.
A formal announcement is expected later, the Financial Times said.
Weetabix - made in the UK since 1932 - has been widely reported as being up for sale by its Chinese owner Bright Food, which bought a 60% stake in 2012.
Bright's acquisition was the largest by a Chinese firm at the time, but it is believed to have struggled to build significant market share in China.
Chinese consumers generally prefer a hot, rice-based breakfast, rather than cold cereal.
While Weetabix doubled sales in China in 2016, the UK still accounts for the majority of its sales.
Post Holdings is the third-largest cereal firm in the US and owns brands including Great Grains, Golden Crisp and Coca Pebbles.
Some of the world's biggest names in food, including the UK's Associated British Foods and Italy's Barilla, had been named as possible suitors for Weetabix.
Northamptonshire-based Weetabix, which has a royal warrant, was family owned until 2004, when it was bought by private equity firm Lion Capital.
Carried out for conservation group WWF, a report highlights a "new wave" of organised wildlife crime by armed groups operating across borders.
It says funds from trafficking are being used to finance civil conflicts.
The study comes as Malaysian officials captured about 20 tonnes of ivory in one of the biggest seizures ever made.
In pictures: Wildlife crime
According to Jim Leape, WWF International director general, the report underlines the fact that wildlife crime has escalated drastically over the past decade and now posed a greater threat than ever.
"This is about much more than wildlife," he told a news conference. "This crisis is threatening the very stability of governments. It has become a profound threat to national security."
Rebel militia groups in Africa are cashing in on demand for elephants, tigers and rhinos to fund civil conflicts, said John Scanlon, secretary general of Cites, the organisation that governs the trade in endangered species.
"We saw earlier this year with rebel groups coming from Chad and Sudan going into northern Cameroon slaughtering 450 elephants, taking the ivory for the purpose of selling it in order to buy arms for local conflicts" he said.
He added that there had been similar issues in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This view was echoed by Christian Glass, spokesman for the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
"The new wave of organised wildlife trade crime with heavily armed groups of poachers acting cross-borders is jeopardising conservation successes we've had in the past," he said.
The report suggests that the illicit sale of animals and plants is the world's fourth largest illegal trade after narcotics, counterfeiting of products and currency and the trafficking of people.
It says that two factors were spurring the growth of the trade. The first was the absence of credible law enforcement and other deterrents that reduced the risk to organised criminal groups. The second was increased accessibility of illegal products via the internet.
Just before the report was released, customs officials in Malaysia announced that they had made a huge seizure of ivory.
According to reports by Traffic, the shipment was en route to China from Togo and comprised some 1,500 pieces of tusks.
How to get up close to a white rhino
Could legalising horn trade save rhinos?
They were discovered in wooden crates that were deliberately designed to look like stacks of sawn timber.
Early estimates suggested the shipment was more than 20 tonnes in total. If this is confirmed it would be one of the biggest seizures in history.
According to Will Travers, chief executive of Born Free Foundation, up to 30,000 elephants a year were being killed to fuel demand driven largely by China.
"No part of Africa is now safe," he said.
"Across the continent, for the first time, the number of carcasses recorded as a result of poaching exceeds the number reportedly dying from natural causes."
"The bloody ivory trade has reached new heights of destruction and depravity in 2012."
Capturing that many tusks at one time is a rare piece of good news for those involved in the fight against trafficking.
Greater international co-operation is needed according to the WWF report as is the better use of intelligence and investigative techniques. But there also has to be a tougher response from the authorities in the countries most affected, said John Scanlon.
"We need to deploy the police and in a number of cases we need to deploy the military" he said, adding that the army was now being used to fight the illegal trade in species in five African countries.
The report was based on consultations and interviews with representatives from more than 110 governments and international organisations.

Ranieri's side were 2-0 down with 20 minutes remaining before coming back to beat Aston Villa 3-2 last weekend.
Ranieri said: "Coming back from behind might be exciting, but it is not good.
"I told them, if you keep a clean sheet, I'll buy pizza for everybody. I think they're waiting for me to offer a hot dog too."
Leicester are unbeaten after five Premier League games - conceding seven goals - and find themselves second, four points behind leaders Manchester City.
Jamie Vardy, Jeff Schlupp and Marc Albrighton were named as the three fastest players in the division this week, leading Ranieri to compare them to fighter jets.
He said: "I say my team is like the RAF, it's fantastic - whoosh whoosh! - I love it."
Stoke, meanwhile, have yet to win this season and Ranieri has warned his side that they will have to work hard to continue their fine start.
"We have to be careful," he said.
"My players have been incredible but I have warned them they can't continue to give teams a start because one day you will get punished.
"There is a very good spirit. They are characters. But I'm very curious - I want to see what they are like when something goes wrong.
"Every man can go to the ground, but I want to see when they pick themselves up. That is my focus."
Pollock's time of 1:04.28 left him as comfortably the leading Irishman in 17th spot in Amsterdam.
The Holywood man was two minutes and 55 seconds behind winner, Switzerland's Eritrea-born Tadesse Abraham.
Other Irish Olympic marathon selections Mick Clohisey (1:06.00) and Kevin Seaward (1:06.20) were 32nd and 34th.
Sergio Ciobanu, omitted from Ireland's Olympic team despite having a qualifying time 24 seconds faster than Pollock, finished 57th in the Amsterdam race in 1:07.46.
Moldovan-born Ciobanu appealed against his Rio omission but his plea was unsuccessful.
"After all the controversy about the (Olympic) marathon selection, the first thing was that I had to be first Irishman here," said Pollock, 30, after Sunday's race.
"To be honest, I did that and did that comfortably. I have to look on a lot of positives from that.
"Coming first Irishman here hopefully shows that the selectors made the right decision."
Pollock added that he was not in the kind of shape he demonstrated in March when he finished an impressive 14th at the World Half Marathon Championship in Cardiff.
"At the moment, I am in a block of heavy marathon training. In the grand scheme of things, I know I could have come here fitter and run faster but the focus for the summer is Rio and everything is building towards that."
Pollock's training partner Seaward said that a back twinge in recent days meant that he did hold back somewhat in Sunday's race.
"My aim today was to start out a little bit more relaxed and work my way through," said the 32-year-old.
"I had a bit of a sore back this week. Nothing too serious but with the twists and turns of the course today, I didn't want to risk anything for Rio."
The other two Irish male hopefuls Mark Hanrahan and Donegal man Gary Murray both dropped out.
North Belfast's Gladys Ganiel, who is the reserve for Ireland's Olympic team, was 71st in the women's race in 1:18.06.
Claire McCarthy finished 48th in 1:16.02 which left her five minutes and 43 seconds behind Portuguese winner Sara Moreira.
The men were arrested shortly before the beginning of the Games, in August, after the FBI alerted the Brazilian authorities.
They are all Brazilian nationals.
The ringleader, Leonid El Kadre de Melo, has been given a prison sentence of 15 years.
His lawyer said her client was on hunger strike.
The other men have been jailed for five to six years. All say they will appeal.
The group had been sharing extremist material online and via messaging apps pledging alliance to IS, said judge Marcos Josegrei da Silva, in Parana state.
El Kadre de Melo was "without a shadow of a doubt the person who took over the role of leader amongst the accused," Mr Silva wrote in his ruling.
The eight men were not IS members but had tried to make contact with the group, officials said.
Their activities had been monitored by the FBI.
Two weeks before the Rio Games the FBI alerted Brazilian authorities, who later said the men had been trying to buy weapons and had shared bomb-making videos.
Federal police launched Operation Hashtag in July and arrested a total of 15 people.
Seven of the suspects were later released but the other eight were tried under Brazil's new anti-terrorism legislation for planning to carry out chemical attacks during the Olympics.
The six men jailed for six years are: Alisson Luan de Oliveira, Oziris Moris Azevedo, Levi Ribeiro de Jesus, Israel Pedra Mesquita, Hortencio Yoshitake and Luis Gustavo de Oliveira.
Fernando Pinheiro Cabral, has been sentenced to five years in jail.
Midfielder Phillips, 25, spent three seasons with QPR, playing 94 times and scoring 14 goals.
The Scotland international helped the R's to promotion in 2013-14 and made 25 Premier League appearances in 2014-15.
He is Albion's first summer signing after the club released forward Victor Anichebe, midfielder Stephane Sessegnon and goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard.
Phillips has made four appearances for Scotland, having previously represented England at youth level.

Peter Rippington, 59, who taught at Alvechurch School in Worcestershire, died in the crash in February 2012.
The company, Interski, had previously denied responsibility, saying the driver of the bus had not been at fault.
However, Derek Thompson was found guilty of manslaughter in March.
The 50-year-old, of Atherstone, Warwickshire, was given a six-month suspended sentence in March by a court in Chalons-en-Champagne, north-east France.
An Interski spokesperson confirmed the firm had admitted liability.
Many of those passengers injured in the crash are now planning to sue.
Cheryl Palmer-Hughes, of Irwin Mitchell, said: "Many of our clients have been left with serious and life-changing injuries as a result of the coach crash back in 2012.
"We can now focus on continuing to ensure that the victims get the compensation and support they need and deserve to help them overcome their injuries."
The firm said the passengers would seek "six-figure sums".
CCTV footage presented to the jury at Lewes Crown Court appeared to show Michael Lane parked near to the 19-year-old's house around the time she was killed.
Video was taken from homes, shops and 40 separate busses operating in the area at the time.
Mr Lane, 27, denies murder.
Miss Grice was found with her throat slit in her bedroom in Portslade, East Sussex. The room had also been set alight.
The court was told that footage appeared to show Mr Lane leaving his Portslade home in his car at about 07.25 BST on 25 August.
It was claimed the cameras showed him getting out of the car a few minutes later on a road near Miss Grice's house, but he was then not picked up again for approximately half an hour.
The prosecution alleges that, in that time, he killed Miss Grice at her home in Chrisdory Road.
Police believe Miss Grice died sometime between 07:25 and 08:00 based on the fact that she was conducting a text message conversation with a friend.
Statements from emergency service crews who were called to Miss Grices's house on the morning of her death were also read out in court.
Paramedic Michael McHugh described how he got to Miss Grice's house and was greeted by Ian Cooke, the father of Miss Grice's then boyfriend Ashley Cooke.
He said Mr Cooke had already been into the house, having been asked to check up on Shana as she had not arrived at work.
He said to Mr McHugh: "I have been in there, she's dead, there is nothing you can do, you can't go in there it's full of fumes."
Mr McHugh went into the house and noticed a bloody footprint on the doorstep, the court heard.
Miss Grice was found her lying dead on her bed, which had been partially burned along with an area of carpet.
A police crime scene investigator who carried out an examination of Miss Grice's house also said there appeared to be a knife missing from a knife block in the kitchen.
The trial continues. | In a landmark battle between man and artificial intelligence (AI), the world champion of the game Go was narrowly defeated by his computer opponent.

That is the key view of the next official report on the "Trojan Horse" saga, a story about a purported plot to "Islamicise" a group of Birmingham state schools.
At the centre of this report is the Park View Educational Trust, which runs three state schools.
The document, written by Peter Clarke, a former senior counter-terrorism policeman, has been leaked to the Guardian.
It really reinforces what we knew: a small group of friends pushed some of the city's schools towards Islamic social conservatism.
That, Mr Clarke says, created an atmosphere where extremism might flourish and an us-and-them attitude to non-Muslims might emerge.
In that category, Mr Clarke found other instances of worrying incidents that were first reported on Newsnight.
Mr Clarke found messages from a chat group on the WhatsApp mobile messaging app called the "Park View Brotherhood".
Newsnight had learned that the police were seeking transcripts of these chats a few months ago. They seem to have got them.
Birmingham City Council gets a fair whacking.
According to the Guardian, Mr Clarke says: "There was never a serious attempt to see if there was a pattern to what was happening in school governing bodies.
"The council's approach has been variously described to me as appeasement and a failure in their duty of care towards their employees."
The report is also a rather unhelpful epitaph to Michael Gove's tenure at the Department for Education (DfE).
The document, commissioned by the DfE, is quite harsh on its own role as a consequence of the former education secretary's most significant reform.
He introduced the "converter academies"; schools that opt for the status are no longer funded through and supervised by their local authorities, nor do they need to follow the national curriculum and teacher pay scales.
Instead, they are independent schools in the state system, joined to the DfE.
Back in 2010, the department expected only 200 conversions a year, but around 3,000 schools have now adopted the status, enticed by more money and autonomy.
This is supposed to be a lighter touch regime.
Rather than actively supervising schools, it relies on Ofsted, tough exam performance measures and simple financial controls to keep them in line.
But, Mr Clarke suggests, maybe that's not enough.
The Guardian reports that he writes: "In theory, academies are accountable to the secretary of state, but in practice the accountability can amount to benign neglect where educational and financial performance seems to indicate everything is fine.
"This inquiry has highlighted there are potentially serious problems in some academies."
This is a widely held view of the key problem in Mr Gove's reforms, even among his friends: in his haste to increase autonomy from local authorities and national structures, Mr Gove did not build an adequate alternative supervisory architecture.
Some people think there is no need for this supervision.
Maybe that is true, but that view is hard to square with the high level of scrutiny that the DfE gives to free schools - a new academy opened from scratch.
For example, Newsnight revealed that Park View School was barred from opening a free school by one part of the DfE on security grounds.
But Park View School itself, a converter academy, was left to continue by another wing of the institution - and allowed to take over new schools.
The DfE allowed Park View to rumble on and, according to the department's own reports, invite speakers with extreme views to address pupils.
But Philip Nye, a journalist, has reported that the DfE insists an Islamic free school group must provide it with "details of all guest speakers, as well as of all donations made by the trust or its pupils".
What to make of all of this?
In a brief look back over Mr Gove's tenure, broadcast earlier this week, I suggested that his big legacy would be that England's head teachers would increase their, already high, level of autonomy.
But, I suggested, the precise institutional architecture of his reforms would not last.
I did not have this specific issue in mind, but it is one of the myriad things that can go wrong in schools that are neither recorded in league tables nor seen by inspectors.
This might mean some kind of surgery on the DfE to make it better able to perform this role.
Maybe its roles will be separated. Or, as Labour proposes, maybe there will be a new local layer of government to take on the role.
Teachers might be tired of endless reorganisations. Sorry, it isn't over yet.

The 2008 recording adds to evidence the central bank repeatedly pressured commercial banks during the financial crisis to push their Libor rates down.
Libor is the rate that banks lend to each other and it sets a benchmark for mortgages and loans for ordinary customers.
The Bank of England said Libor was not regulated in the UK at the time.
Banks setting artificially low Libor rates is called lowballing.
The recording calls into question evidence given in 2012 to the Treasury select committee by former Barclays boss Bob Diamond and Paul Tucker, the man who went on to become the deputy governor of the Bank of England.
Libor, the London Interbank Offered Rate, tracks how much it costs banks to borrow money from each other. As such it is a big influence on the cost of mortgages and other loans.
In the recording, a senior Barclays manager, Mark Dearlove, instructs Libor submitter Peter Johnson, to lower his Libor rates.
He tells him: "The bottom line is you're going to absolutely hate this... but we've had some very serious pressure from the UK government and the Bank of England about pushing our Libors lower."
Mr Johnson objects, saying that this would mean breaking the rules for setting Libor, which required him to put in rates based only on the cost of borrowing cash.
Mr Johnson says: "So I'll push them below a realistic level of where I think I can get money?"
His boss Mr Dearlove replies: "The fact of the matter is we've got the Bank of England, all sorts of people involved in the whole thing... I am as reluctant as you are... these guys have just turned around and said just do it."
Mr Dearlove declined to answer questions from BBC Panorama.
Until recently a member of staff at each of the biggest banks, the Libor submitter, would say what interest rate they thought the bank would have to pay to borrow money. An average would be taken to arrive at Libor.
Banks have been fined more than £6bn for allowing submitters to be influenced by requests from traders or bosses to take into account the bank's commercial interests, such as trading positions.
The phone call between Mr Dearlove and Mr Johnson took place on 29 October 2008, the same day that Mr Tucker, who was at that time an executive director of the Bank of England, phoned Barclays boss Mr Diamond. Barclays' Libor rate was discussed.
Mr Diamond and Mr Tucker were called to give evidence before the Treasury select committee in 2012. Both said that they had only recently become aware of lowballing.
Panorama played the October 2008 recording to Chris Philp MP, who sits on the Treasury committee.
He told the programme: "It sounds to me like those people giving evidence, particularly Bob Diamond and Paul Tucker were misleading parliament, that is a contempt of parliament, it's a very serious matter and I think we need to urgently summon those individuals back before parliament to explain why it is they appear to have misled MPs. It's extremely serious."
Mr Diamond told the BBC: "I never misled parliament and… I stand by everything I have said previously." Mr Tucker did not respond to our questions.
Peter Johnson, the Barclays Libor submitter, was jailed last summer after pleading guilty to accepting trader requests to manipulate Libor.
Two traders who made requests for Mr Johnson to move Libors up or down, Jay Merchant and Alex Pabon, were found guilty last June of conspiracy to defraud along with another submitter, Jonathan Mathew.
However, the jury could not reach a verdict on two other traders then on trial, Ryan Reich and Stelios Contogoulas. The Serious Fraud Office requested a retrial which concluded last week. Both Mr Reich and Mr Contogoulas were unanimously acquitted.
Panorama also played Mr Contogoulas the October 2008 recording. He said he believed that if it had been played during the criminal trials it might have affected the outcomes.
He said: "That's the thing, you know in these trials that we went through they separated everything, separated trading requests and lowballing. So anything that has to do with this they don't go in. So you're asking me do I think that if all this was in would it make a difference? Probably, is the answer."
The Serious Fraud Office which brought the Barclays prosecutions told Panorama that evidence of lowballing was provided to the defence.
They also say they are still investigating lowballing and that they follow the evidence "as high as it goes and aim to charge the most senior people wherever there is a realistic prospect of conviction".
The Bank of England said: "Libor and other global benchmarks were not regulated in the UK or elsewhere during the period in question.
"Nonetheless, the Bank of England has been assisting the SFO's criminal investigations into Libor manipulation by employees at commercial banks and brokers by providing, on a voluntary basis, documents and records requested by the SFO."
Panorama: The Big Bank Fix will be broadcast on BBC One on Monday 10 April at 20.30.
The 21-year-old has joined for a reported £5m and is the first signing for new manager Mauricio Pellegrino, who replaced Claude Puel last month.
Meanwhile, England U21 central defender Jack Stephens, 23, has signed a new five-year contract.
Striker Sam Gallagher, 21, who got 11 Championship goals on loan at Blackburn last term, has signed a four-year deal.
Bednarek told the club website: "I am so happy that I could join a club like Southampton.
"This is the moment I have worked for that makes my dreams come true. I think it's a good step for me, because I have heard Southampton is such a good club for young players, so I can improve here."
Stephens began his career at Plymouth before moving to St Mary's and Southampton's vice-chairman of football Les Reed said: "His progression, and the level of his performances, was one of the real highlights of last season. We have been delighted with his development ever since he joined the club."
Regarding Gallagher he added: "The experience Sam gained last season at Blackburn was invaluable, and it was clear to see the further improvement that he made in his game during that time."

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

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

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

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

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

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

So how did the 43-year-old reach this point in his political career?
A free thinker, who led the campaign to unseat Commons Speaker Michael Martin in the last Parliament, Mr Carswell has never hidden his disdain for the "job for life" culture among some MPs in safe seats and the "cosy cliques" that dominate decision-making in government.
Most newly-elected MPs put their head down and get on with the job of climbing Westminster's greasy pole.
But the Clacton MP, who entered the Commons in 2005, refused to play the game from the start, speaking openly of his "revulsion" at the system and how, frankly, he was embarrassed to be an MP.
In his book, The Plan, co-authored with Tory MEP Daniel Hannan, he set out 28 steps to "renew our broken democracy" and "get our supine, spineless Parliament off its knees".
He had high hopes that David Cameron, whom he backed in the 2005 Tory leadership contest, would push through some of their proposed reforms - such as open primaries, where all voters in a constituency get to choose party candidates, and giving voters the power to recall their MP if they are doing a bad job.
But in February this year he was, along with other maverick backbench Tories, bitterly disappointed to see plans for recall powers dropped by the coalition.
He told BBC News: "This government could have been different, but I think this marks the moment at which it becomes just another administration."
This - together with his belief that the Conservatives were not truly committed to changing Britain's relationship with the EU - undoubtedly fed into his decision to jump ship to UKIP.
Mr Carswell has long agitated for a referendum on whether Britain should remain in the EU - an institution he views as being profoundly undemocratic and lacking in accountability.
He is an ardent believer in the power of the internet to revolutionise the way we are governed - by smashing open closed institutions such as the EU and handing direct democratic control to the public. He set out some of these ideas in his 2012 book, The End of Politics and the Birth of iDemocracy.
In December 2009, he introduced a bill before the House of Commons requesting a public referendum on the UK's EU membership.
And in his first week after being re-elected at the 2010 general election, he revealed he intended to force a referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon.
Among his rebellions, Mr Carswell tabled an amendment expressing concern over the increase in the EU budget in October 2010.
Born in 1971, Mr Carswell spent his early years living in Uganda, where his parents worked as doctors in a local hospital.
He was educated at the University of East Anglia and King's College London, and worked in digital television, investment management and the Conservative Party policy unit - run by David Cameron - before becoming an MP.
He is married to Clementine and has a daughter. In his spare time, he has said he enjoys swimming, running, gardening as well as making quince jelly.
Mr Carswell reportedly owns a £655 love seat in deep moss brushed cotton while his father was the inspiration for James McAvoy's character in the Last King Of Scotland, the British doctor who went to work in Uganda and found himself working for Idi Amin.
Mr Carswell first stood for Parliament in 2001, taking on Tony Blair as the Tory candidate for Sedgefield. Despite apologising for coming second he still managed to cut Mr Blair's majority by more than 7,500 votes.
In 2005 he was elected as MP for Harwich, defeating Labour's candidate by just 920 votes. By 2010 he defeated the same opponent by 12,000 votes - although boundary changes had seen the seat renamed Clacton.
During that contest UKIP did not field a candidate, supporting what they saw as the re-election of a kindred spirit.
Mr Carswell went on to gain a reputation as an outspoken Tory moderniser, influencing initiatives such as David Cameron's Big Society and campaigning for the reform of parliamentary expenses following the 2009 scandal.
He once told the BBC he was attracted to politics because "our democracy is being undermined, with remote and unaccountable elites making the key decisions that affect our lives".
Adding to his other accolades, the MP revealed on Twitter in January that he had brought down a suspected shoplifter in his constituency.
"You probably don't want to hear this, but I'm your local MP," he reportedly told the individual.
Mr Carswell's bold announcement may not have been out of character, but he said the decision to leave the Conservative Party has given him sleepless nights.
He has vowed to fight on for "fundamental change in British politics" - something he now believes only UKIP can deliver.
In the by-election on 9 October, Mr Carswell won 60% of the total number of votes cast, and secured a majority of 12,404.
Addressing local voters after his victory, he said: "I resigned from parliament to face this election because I answer first, foremost and last to you. You are my boss. I will not let you down."
"To my new party I offer these thoughts: humility when we win, modesty when we are proved right. If we speak with passion, let it always be tempered by compassion."
Demand from house hunters rose sharply in May as buyers made viewings after the election, the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) said.
The view follows comments from the British Bankers' Association that the UK housing market is "hotting up".
The possibility of a rise in interest rates at the turn of the year has driven demand for mortgages, they say.
The rise in demand must prompt an acceleration in building, the NAEA's managing director, Mark Hayward, said.
"The growing gap between supply and demand is worrying and clearly demonstrates that more needs to be done to plug this," he said.
"The election was full of promises to build more houses, but now those promises need to be put into bricks and mortar to respond to demand."
House seekers and homeowners are being urged to budget for changes in interest rates, which would see many mortgage costs rise.
Joanna Elson, chief executive of the Money Advice Trust, the charity that runs National Debtline, said: "There is a real risk that after more than six years of record low interest rates, many mortgage payers are still living in a false sense of security.
"The reality is that they may have a very short window in which to prepare for coming hikes in interest rates."
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said it believed the faulty Indesit appliance was the cause of the blaze in Shepherd's Bush in August.
The LFB said parent company Whirlpool should change its advice to customers so that any dryers waiting to be modified are not used.
Whirlpool said the safety of consumers "is our number one priority".
The blaze engulfed part of the 18-storey high rise block and took 120 firefighters to bring under control. No on was injured.
Dave Brown, director of operations at LFB, said: "This fire has highlighted just how dangerous faulty white goods can be.
"Disappointingly though, Whirlpool have still not changed their advice to consumers."
A Whirlpool spokesman said: "While we understand that LFB has concluded its investigation into the incident, Whirlpool's independent forensic investigations are still ongoing and in the circumstances, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
"The safety of consumers is our number one priority and we are committed to doing everything we can to ensure that the tumble dryer modification programme is carried out in a safe and timely manner."
Consumer Minister Margot James said: "Customer safety must be the number one priority for manufacturers.
"I acknowledge that Whirlpool are making great efforts to modify and replace at-risk machines, but I believe additional action is required to reassure customers and the public.
"I will be writing to the company to set out my concerns and expectations."
The woman in her 20s, named locally as Kerri McAuley, was found at Southalls Way near Mousehold Heath at about 22:40 GMT on Sunday, Norfolk Police said.
The detained man, also in his 20s, is being held in police custody ahead of questioning.
The property is sealed off while officers carry out forensic examinations.
Det Ch Insp Pete Hornby said the force was "working to establish the sequence of events which led to this woman's death" and called for anyone with information to make contact.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place later.
The killer has been identified as Mevlut Mert Altintas, 22, a member of the Ankara riot police. It was not clear if he had links to any group.
The incident happened a day after protests in Turkey over Russian support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Turkey's president said the attack was aimed at hurting ties with Russia.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone and, in a video message, said that they both agreed it was an act of "provocation".
He said that those who wanted to harm relations between the two countries "would not achieve it".
In televised remarks, Mr Putin said the act was "undoubtedly a provocation aimed at disrupting the normalisation" of bilateral ties and the "peace process in Syria".
A group of Russian investigators will arrive in Turkey to look into the case, Mr Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
The UN Security Council strongly condemned ambassador Andrei Karlov's murder, while Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was appalled by "this senseless act of terror".
While there were protests in recent days about the situation in Aleppo, on a political level the Turkish and Russian governments have been co-operating in the ceasefire operation, the BBC's Turkey correspondent, Mark Lowen, reports.
Before the attack happened, a meeting of the Russian, Turkish and Iranian foreign ministers had been planned for Tuesday in Moscow.
But now it seems the political fight over Syria's future has spilled over into public hatred, our correspondent says.
The attack was swiftly condemned by other countries:
The movement of US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen has also condemned the attack and rejected any links to the attacker, according to an adviser quoted by Reuters news agency. Turkish officials blame the movement for July's failed coup aimed against Mr Erdogan.
Several hours after Mr Karlov was killed, a man was arrested for firing a pump-action shotgun in front of the US embassy in Ankara. The state-run Anadolu press agency said he fired around eight shots into the air early on Tuesday. No-one was hurt.
The US missions in Ankara, Istanbul and Adana will remain closed on Tuesday.
The ambassador had been attending a photo exhibition called "Russia as seen by Turks".
Video of the event shows Karlov making a speech when gunshots ring out. Eight bullets are said to have been fired.
The camera pulls back to show a smartly dressed gunman, wearing a suit and tie, waving a pistol and shouting in Arabic and Turkish.
He can be heard yelling "don't forget about Aleppo, don't forget about Syria" and uses the Arabic phrase "Allahu Akbar" (God is great). He is said to have died in a shootout with police soon afterwards, but details have not been given.
Karlov was rushed to hospital but his death was later confirmed by the Russian foreign ministry.
Karlov, 62, was a veteran diplomat who had served as Soviet ambassador to North Korea for much of the 1980s.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, he had a posting as Russian ambassador to South Korea before returning to the North for five years in 2001.
Taking up the Ankara posting in July 2013, he had to grapple with a major diplomatic crisis last year when a Turkish plane shot down a Russian jet close to the Syrian border.
Demanding a Turkish apology, Moscow imposed damaging sanctions - notably a freeze on charter flights by Russian tourists - and the two countries only recently mended ties.
Condemning the attack as an act of "terrorism", Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Turkey had given assurances that there would be a comprehensive investigation, and those responsible would be punished.
"The memory of this outstanding Russian diplomat, a man who did so much to counter terrorism... will remain in our hearts forever," Ms Zakharova said.
The analysis of several studies suggests 13% of women who enrol on smoking cessation programmes quit during pregnancy.
But 43% of these restart within six months of giving birth.
Public Health England says more action is needed to help mothers-to-be quit for good.
Smoking during pregnancy has been linked to many health problems including premature births, miscarriages, stillbirths and sudden infant deaths.
The scientists from the universities of Nottingham and York looked specifically at the success of women who used smoking cessation services to help them quit.
They pulled together several international trials, including some from the UK, involving almost 1,000 women who took part in stop smoking programmes between 1989 and 2014.
And they found only a minority of women who tried to quit smoking succeeded.
Official figures for England published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre show 11% of pregnant women were recorded as smokers at the time of giving birth in 2014-15, a steady decline from 15 percent in 2007.
But regional data shows wide differences across the country - with more smokers in poorer areas.
Prof Jonathan Grigg of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health said the findings of this study were a worrying sign for the state of child health.
He added: "We need to fully support parents in the first few months with their baby to highlight to them the importance of keeping their home smoke-free.
"Health visitor and smoking-cessation services are vital to this process, but with the £200m reduction in funding for public health, these services are at risk."
Rosanna O'Connor, at Public Health England, said: "While the rate of women smoking during pregnancy continues to fall, further action is needed to support those who find it more difficult to stop and to help those who do stop, to stop smoking forever.
"It is vital to protect babies from smoke during pregnancy and in the early months of life. The best protection for mothers, their babies and partners is to quit smoking for good."
The six-month trial has begun in Devon and Cornwall, and is due to start in Dorset on 26 November.
The drones are equipped with high definition cameras which can capture video and still images.
The forces said they were not a replacement for the National Police Air Service (NPAS) helicopter service.
Two drones are being used by officers in Devon and Cornwall, and two will be used in Dorset.
Insp Andy Hamilton, who is leading the trials, said: "Drones offer many benefits that complement the NPAS helicopter and are by no means a replacement for this service.
"This technology offers a potentially highly cost effective approach to missing person searches, crime scene photography, and responding to major road traffic collisions."
He added drones enabled officers to capture footage on "difficult terrain", including cliffs and woodland, enabling them to "respond effectively at the scene".
"This technology still has its limitations; the models we are trialling are currently unable to fly at night or in adverse weather, but having the option to put a drone in the air in a few minutes' notice could help save lives," he said.
But the researchers behind the Ibrahim Index of African Governance say progress "is stalling".
The index measures changes in development, human rights, security and economic opportunity.
Mauritius and Cape Verde are the top-ranked countries, and South Sudan and Somalia are at the bottom of the index.
The Sudan-born mobile phone magnate Mo Ibrahim, who funds the research, said that it is hard to make generalisations because "Africa is not a country", and the research reveals huge differences within the continent.
Overall, Ivory Coast has shown the most improvement since 2011 as it moved away from the conflict that was sparked by a disputed election the year before.
South Sudan, the world's newest country, has shown the greatest deterioration in governance - in part because of the civil war which began in December 2013.
Zimbabwe is also listed as a country which has shown big improvements over the last four years, but nonetheless is ranked 44th on the continent.
Ordinary Zimbabweans told the BBC's Brian Hungwe in the capital, Harare, that they were surprised to hear that things were improving, despite the political situation becoming more peaceful.
"That's totally outrageous," one man said, "people are suffering because of the economy and there is not enough food on the table."
Among other countries, Ghana is ranked seventh on the index, with a small decrease in its score for governance, Ethiopia comes 31st, with an increase in its score and Nigeria came 39th, also with an increase.
Looking at the continent as a whole, Mr Ibrahim did have concerns about the pace at which things are changing.
He said, while launching the index, that Africans are "healthier and live in more democratic societies" compared to 15 years ago but "recent progress in other key areas on the continent has either stalled or reversed".
He added that this was "a warning sign for all of us".
Along with Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, Davies is suspended for the semi-final after being booked in the 3-1 win over Belgium.
"Ben has been our standout performer in the tournament so far, he will be a big miss for us," said James Chester.
"But we have the squad now, we have the strength in depth."
And with BBC columnist John Hartson suggesting Wales may even be favourites against Portugal on Wednesday in the semi-final, Chester added: "Obviously Ben and Aaron have started every game here for us so far.
"Aaron has got the undoubted ability, but how much work he puts in maybe gets overlooked.
"We will obviously miss them, but we have the strength and players playing at the top level so hopefully it won't hamper us too much."

Chester feels Wales' fringe players at the tournament could now step into the limelight at just the right time as they prepare to face Portugal in Lyon.
"All the lads who haven't played, it has been difficult for them, but they have been great," he told BBC Radio Wales.
"I know myself [from not playing as much as he would like with club side West Brom] how difficult it is to be watching every week so their attitude has been great towards the ones who have been playing.
"They have looked after themselves really well in training so whoever comes in I am sure they will do a good job."
West Ham defender James Collins or Fulham's Jazz Richards is likely to replace Chester with Jonny Williams, Dave Edwards and Premier League winner Andy King vying to replace Ramsey.
Defender Neil Taylor feels both Ramsey and Davies were unfortunate to pick up their second bookings of the tournament, with Portugal midfielder William Carvalho also out of the last-four game.
"It is a difficult one that, when we had the talk prior to the tournament, we believed that bookings would be wiped out by the quarters - the yellow cards - but we found out this week they don't," he said.
"It is so difficult not to pick up yellow cards with referees that like giving them out.
"With a game moving at that sort of pace I think they could have been more lenient, knowing they could possibly be suspended."

Wales skipper Ashley Williams had his left arm in a sling as he left the ground following the victory over Belgium.
He was a doubt for the game after suffering a shoulder injury in the 1-0 win over Northern Ireland, but he assured reporters he would be fit to face Portugal in the semi-final.
"It's okay, it's fine. I've just got the sling on because it keeps clicking and it's painful, but this just eases it a little bit," he said.
"But i'll fine I think. I have to give a lot of credit to the medical team because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to play tonight and they've done an unbelievable job.
"It's a lot better than it was after the last game."

Despite beginning the tournament as huge outsiders, Wales are now dreaming of winning the European Championship and that ambition extends beyond the terraces and the pubs and clubs back home.
"Are we thinking of winning it now? Yes, of course. That is the next goal," said Burnley's Sam Vokes.
"Sounds crazy but it is a genuine thing, and we are obviously looking to get into the final."
Defender Neil Taylor added: "It is obvious to say that we have the belief we can beat anybody, we have always said that, we are not lying when we say it."
Wednesday's semi final will see superstar team-mates Christiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale going head-to-head just over a month after they inspired club side Real Madrid to a second Champions League title in three seasons.
Swansea defender Taylor feels Bale can be a match for his club colleague.
"It is good that two of the world's best players can meet at this part of the tournament, which is why we are so happy for Gareth," he explained.
"We have managed to get him to this part of the tournament where he can really affect games and show what he is all about, but I think we showed against Belgium that we are about more than just that [Bale] and we are definitely a team."
Danny McKay, who was 36, was shot at his home on Longlands Road on 25 October 2012.
At least two armed men were involved in the attack. Nine arrests have been made as part of the investigation. No one has been charged.
The senior investigating officer said Mr McKay's family deserved answers as well as justice.
Before the murder, five masked men entered a house at Dunore Court in the New Lodge area of north Belfast and forced the occupant to hand over his silver Volkswagen Bora car, registration number KLZ 9787.
At 20.50 BST, this car was found burnt out in Ardmoulin Place in the Lower Falls area of west Belfast.
Det Chief Insp John McVea said he believed this incident was linked to Mr McKay's death.
The focus would be vocational training and apprenticeship reforms, Mr Hunt told the Association of Teachers and Lecturers' annual conference.
Mr Hunt said Labour plans for far-reaching reform to Ofsted would not require primary legislation.
However, he said, inspections needed to "evolve and change".
Mr Hunt told the conference in Liverpool that raising pupil achievement requires a "peer review" inspection system, led by heads and teachers.
Mr Hunt said Labour would continue to work with Ofsted's current chief inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw whose impact on the education system he said had been transformative. "He is the head teacher's head teacher."
The Labour education spokesman said he backed plans for reform put forward by Ofsted's national director for schools, Sean Harford, in a speech to head teachers earlier this month.
Mr Hunt said there was no doubt in his mind that Ofsted "has been an extraordinarily progressive force for improving this country's educational outcomes and spreading equal opportunity to areas of historic disadvantage".
But he added that there was a danger that the inspection system "may have reached the tipping point".
"The moment when our inspection system begins to choke something far more precious."
He said he feared the "joy, wonder and beauty of schooling" risked being buried in an "avalanche of bureaucracy".
"So whilst I believe Ofsted has been a vehicle for progress in our education system, it too must surely evolve," he said.
"Above all what I really want to see is an inspectorate that carries the full confidence of the profession, parents and business.
"Ofsted needs to move towards a supportive, light-touch, profession-led, centrally moderated, peer review system of inspection.
"And an incoming Labour government will support this pathway to reform."
Mr Hunt said the big question for the next five years would be how to deliver the basics of education but also inculcate creativity, innovation and 21st Century skills needed by individuals and the economy.
"Without far-reaching reform of inspection that is something I do not think we will be able to achieve."
A Liberal Democrat spokesman said "education is on the front page of our manifesto and should be an immediate priority in the next parliament".
"We would take steps to protect education budgets, including nurseries, schools and colleges.
"We would give every child the right to be taught by a qualified teacher, and ensure proper oversight and support for schools that need improvement."
ATL leader Mary Bousted said her union had already made clear that Ofsted's current inspection regime needed to change.
"ATL has proposed a new form of local inspection led by expert professionals with quality assurance provided by a national body.
"Children will benefit from an accountability system that creates less pressure and less pointless work for their teachers but fosters innovation and collaboration."
Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said he agreed a new inspection system was needed.
"Currently schools and colleges feel under pressure to conform to what they believe inspectors want to see.
"We would like to see a reformed inspection system which focuses on outcomes rather than attempting to inspect every detail of a schools operation."
Mr Lightman welcomed that Ofsted had already begun to make some moves in this direction.
"School leaders have a key role to play in a reformed system, sharing with inspectors their own rigorous self-evaluation of their school's performance and joining inspection teams as trained inspectors," said Mr Lightman.
Prosecutors want to charge Mohammed Ali Malek, a 27-year-old Tunisian, with homicide and people-trafficking.
Mr Malek's lawyer says his client is keen to tell his story to prove his innocence to the court in Catania.
One of the 28 survivors has given nearly five hours of testimony. Three others are due to speak later.
Prosecutors say survivors identified Mr Malek as the captain of the boat who accidentally rammed the overloaded fishing boat into a merchant ship that had come to rescue it, last Sunday.
The boat capsized with hundreds of migrants allegedly locked in its lower decks and unable to get out.
The death toll is believed to be the highest from a single such incident.
At the scene: Paul Wood, BBC News, Catania
The young man accused of being the captain whose reckless actions may have caused the deaths of hundreds of migrants has not yet been formally charged.
But after four hours of testimony from one Gambian survivor, Mohammed Ali Malek's lawyer says his client is anxious to speak and clear his name.
For now, as he sits behind bars, the 27-year-old Tunisian is the face of a human trafficking phenomenon that EU leaders seem determined to combat.
But he is unlikely to be anything more than a small player in a huge, dirty business run by powerful Libyan militias and smugglers.
The Italian authorities have already arrested hundreds just like him, but the trade in human beings continues to grow.
Mr Malek's lawyer has told journalists that his client was a migrant on the boat, not a smuggler, and believes he is being accused because he "was the only one with a lighter skin" that survived the shipwreck.
Prosecutors want to bring charges of causing a shipwreck, multiple first degree homicides and being accomplice to clandestine immigration against Mr Malek.
They also accuse another crew member, a 25-year-old Syrian named Mahmud Bihit, of being an accomplice to clandestine immigration.
He is reported to be one of the survivors to identify his co-accused as the man captaining the boat.
Judges will decide at Friday's hearing whether to file formal charges.

The children's charity submitted a Freedom of Information request spanning 2013-15 to police across the UK.
This showed 2,031 under-18s were reported for crimes linked to the possession, distribution, or production of indecent images of children.
NSPCC chief executive Peter Wanless said children had to be educated about staying safe both offline and online.
The law states that making or sharing indecent photographs of anyone aged under the age of 18 could be classed as an offence - but there have been calls for recording rules to be adapted so children are not routinely criminalised.
The NSPCC sent the 45 police forces across the UK an FOI in May, and found the total offences of this nature recorded, regardless of age, were 4,530 in 2013, 6,303 in 2014, and 10,818 in 2015.
Not all police forces provided age breakdowns, but for those which did, there were 11,697 investigations where the age of the defendant was recorded and 2,031 were under the age of 18.
The charity also said that, of the 1,000 parents and carers from across the UK who took part in a recent online survey, only half of parents knew that children taking nude selfies were committing a crime.
Mr Wanless said recent advances in digital technology has fuelled an "explosion in the production and consumption of child sexual abuse images" that increasingly involves live video streaming.
He added: "As well as pursuing and deterring adults who make and distribute these we must educate children about how to keep themselves safe online and offline and how to get help as soon as grooming or abuse happens.
"And every child who is the victim of exploitation and abuse should get the support they need to rebuild their lives."
And he said that the internet industry must prioritise this issue by working with the public and voluntary sector.
In September, the BBC learned that a boy who sent a naked photograph of himself to a girl at school had the crime of making and distributing indecent images recorded against him by police.
The boy, aged 14, who was not arrested or charged, could have his name stored on a police database for 10 years.
Thieves broke in to 95-year-old Percy Willmott's home in Cleethorpes while he was out shopping with his daughter on Friday.
His five medals, awarded for military service in North Africa and Italy, were taken from bedside drawer.
Mr Wilmott said he could not understand why he or his property had been targeted.
More on this and other North East Lincolnshire stories
"The very fact that these young people can come round and know that there's an old soldier living in this house and there is his medals and 'I think I'll take them' doesn't bring sense to me," he said.
"That these people should do that to us old folk." | "There has been a co-ordinated, deliberate and sustained action carried out by a number of associated individuals to introduce an intolerant and aggressive Islamist ethos into a few schools in Birmingham."

Anderson, 32, had West Indies' Denesh Ramdin caught at first slip on the final day of the first Test in Antigua.
The seamer, who began the Test on 380 wickets, was mobbed by his team-mates as his family celebrated in the crowd.
Ramdin's departure left West Indies 294-7, but Jason Holder's unbeaten 103 helped them secure a draw.
Lancashire's Anderson, who made his Test debut in 2003, has helped England win three Ashes series and rise to the top of the Test rankings in 2011.
All-rounder Botham took 383 wickets in 102 Tests between 1977 and 1992, as well as scoring 5,200 runs at an average of 33.54.
Anderson bettered Botham's tally in two matches fewer as England pressed for victory at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in the first Test of the three-match series.
Having taken two wickets in the first innings, he had Marlon Samuels taken at gully midway through the morning session to move level with Botham.
But he had to wait until an hour of play remained before he located Ramdin's edge, removing the West Indies captain for 57 courtesy of a smart catch by Alastair Cook and ending a seventh-wicket stand of 105.
Anderson said: "Taking over from an English legend is a hugely proud moment for me.
"I love taking wickets for England. You pick up milestones along the way and it was a huge landmark for me picking up 100 Tests this week."
Botham, commentating on Sky Sports, said: "I couldn't be happier. I've enjoyed watching him bowl; he richly deserves it.

"He's a magnificent performer. When you are a swing bowler you've got to learn how to do it, and the ball he got the wicket with was a terrific delivery."
Asked how many wickets Anderson could take before retiring, Botham said: "He can do 450 easily."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan told Test Match Special: "What a bowler Jimmy Anderson has been for England - a joy to watch throughout the years."
Former England all-rounder and Lancashire team-mate Andrew Flintoff told BBC Sport before Anderson broke the record: "He's an England great at the minute. However, he could play for another three years and end up being one of the world's great Test cricketers."
Ex-England pace bowler Darren Gough, who took 229 Test wickets, said: "Well done Jimmy. Truly deserved, a genius."
Former England wicketkeeper Alec Stewart said: "Huge congratulations to Jimmy on becoming England's leading Test wicket taker. Brilliant achievement. Next target 500 wickets please."

"That was probably the most emotional game of my managerial career," said head coach Strachan after Harry Kane's stoppage-time volley earned England a 2-2 draw.
"People pushed themselves to another level to get a result for this country.
"It was like watching a heavyweight boxer against a middleweight."
Despite the heroics of Leigh Griffiths, who lashed two free-kicks past Joe Hart in the 87th and 90th minutes, Scotland's World Cup qualification hopes remain slim.
However, Strachan said he was "too tired to think about where we are, I just want to go home".
After six matches, Scotland, on eight points, trail Group F leaders England by six points, second-place Slovakia by four and Slovenia by three.
Lithuania, who on Saturday lost 2-1 at home to Slovakia, will be Scotland's opponents on 1 September, three days before Strachan's side host bottom side Malta.
Scotland then finish the qualification campaign at home to Slovakia and away to Slovenia.

"As a football player you get on with it, but as a manager that was hard work," added the Scotland boss.
"That could have been my best result as a manager, and I've been lucky enough to get some good ones: Manchester United, AC Milan and people like that.
"The power, the strength and the speed of England is phenomenal. They play at a different level to most of us.
"I don't think anybody realises, when they watch the telly, how big and strong and quick these guys are.
"No matter what everyone thinks of us as a group of players, you can't question their personality, character and commitment. That was beyond the call of duty.
"Imagine being a player out there. It's annoying for them to do so much and almost have a result that would have been one of the best ever."
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's 70th-minute goal had looked like it would give Gareth Southgate's men the three points.
But Griffiths's exquisite late set-piece finishes sent the Tartan Army into raptures.
"I've seen Scotland's best-ever free-kick and then Scotland's second best free-kick ever," said Strachan of the Celtic striker's goals.
"I heard a noise after that that I've never heard anything like before.
"To put the work that he put in and then have a free-kick, when you're tired at the end of the game, and be able to execute it is phenomenal. That says a lot. People were going down with cramp.
"It was probably the tallest wall you could put up in European football. He's gone round them, over the top. He's a great character, you know, a wonderful character.

Kohli expertly marshalled a chase of 161, taking 32 runs from the last 11 balls he faced to allow MS Dhoni to win it with five balls to spare in Mohali.
Earlier, Australia raced to 50 from only 22 deliveries but were dragged back to 160-6.
India will meet West Indies in the last four in Mumbai on Thursday.
Australia go out, ending the international career of Shane Watson, who announced his retirement on Thursday.
Kohli is a master of the run chase - the right-hander averages 91.80 in the second innings of T20 internationals.
Steady Indian progress and the regular fall of wickets left the hosts needing 39 from three overs, the required rate higher than any other point in the innings.
Until then, Kohli had mainly settled for manoeuvring the ball and running hard, but launched his attack on James Faulkner, taking a boundary square either side then carving a six over long-off.
Twenty were still needed from two overs, only for Kohli to drive, pull and slap four boundaries from the next over delivered by Nathan Coulter-Nile.
All that was left was for skipper Dhoni to hit the winning boundary off Faulkner and, in the end, it was not close.
For a time at the beginning of their innings, Australia looked set to move out of sight as Usman Khawaja and Aaron Finch punished the wayward bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin.
But, after Ashish Nehra had Khawaja caught behind, India clawed their way back into the contest through the left-arm spin of Ravi Jadeja and Yuvraj Singh, though Australia will be aggrieved at the decision to give captain Steve Smith caught behind off Yuvraj
Glenn Maxwell was bowled by a slower ball from the returning Bumrah just as he was beginning to look dangerous and the late acceleration did not materialise.
Peter Nevill did take 10 from the last two balls of the innings, the only two he faced, but it was not enough.
India began the tournament as huge favourites to become the first host nation to win the World T20, but were beaten by New Zealand in their opening match.
They then needed a remarkable last-ball victory against Bangladesh, who needed only one run from three deliveries, to stay in the competition.
However, this was their most impressive display so far and, with Kohli in supreme form, they will again be heavily fancied to add to their triumph in the inaugural tournament of 2007.
Peaking at the right time has been vital in previous World T20s - no team has ever gone unbeaten - and India may be doing just that.
Man of the match Virat Kohli: "This is what you play cricket for. I'm overwhelmed. It was a quarter-final for us, a lot was riding on us playing at home, and with the crowd you want to give them as much entertainment as possible. The positive energy from the people helps push you through."
India captain MS Dhoni: "Kohli has been playing brilliantly over the last three, four years. Every day when you play a big innings you want to improve and learn and that is what he has done. He's very hungry to score runs for the team, but other batsmen will now have to step up - we cannot rely on one. He will feel the pressure slightly less that way. Still we feel we need to step up in our batting."
Australia captain Steve Smith: "I thought 160 was probably around par. It took an incredible innings from Kohli to get India over the line. Batting like that under pressure - he's done it for a long time and he played beautifully again." | Virat Kohli's brilliant unbeaten 82 led hosts India to a six-wicket victory over Australia and a place in the semi-finals of the World Twenty20. | 35,908,886 | 854 | 42 | false |
Royal Tank Regiment corporals Matthew Hatfield, 27, from Wiltshire, and Darren Neilson, 31, from Lancashire, died when an ammunition round exploded as they were in a tank at Castlemartin Range on 14 June.
One other soldier remains in a serious condition in hospital.
The MoD, Dyfed-Powys Police and Health and Safety Executive are investigating.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of all those killed and injured in this terrible incident."
Speaking after their deaths, Lt Col Simon Ridgway, Commanding Officer of The Royal Tank Regiment, said Cpl Hatfield and Cpl Neilson were "exceptionally talented soldiers who loved what they did".
"The regiment has lost two real characters and feels truly honoured to have served with them. They will both be sorely missed," he added.
The MoD suspended tank live firing exercises as a precaution following the incident until the outcome of the investigation is known.
This applies to all British military, wherever they are in the world.
The 1st and 2nd Royal Tank Regiments merged in August 2014 to form The Royal Tank Regiment, which is based in Tidworth, Wiltshire.
The Army's website said the regiment was "preparing for a live fire exercise at Castlemartin in Wales", which was scheduled to take place at the range between Monday and Friday last week.
In May 2012, Ranger Michael Maguire died during a live firing exercise at the training base. An inquest later found he was unlawfully killed. | A soldier involved in a tank incident at a live firing range where two others died has been discharged from hospital. | 40,341,547 | 348 | 26 | false |
The Dow Jones was down at 20,659.32, a fall of 42.18 points or 0.20%.
The S&P 500 gained 2.56 points or 0.11% to hit 2,361.13 while the Nasdaq put on 22.41 points or 0.38% to 5,897.55.
Market watchers said sentiment was influenced by uncertainty over government tax reforms, the pace of US interest rate rises and the formal start of the UK's Brexit process.
On the currency markets the dollar was up by 0.04% against the pound at £0.8038 and it was up by 0.40% against the euro at 0.9288 euros.
The dollar was helped by remarks about interest rate rises made by some Federal Reserve officials.
The US central bank or Federal Reserve System is made up of 12 Federal Reserve Banks around the country.
Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said he wants to see further interest rate hikes this year, while Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said the Fed should raise rates three more times in 2017.
But while currency markets appeared to welcome the prospect of rate rises, investors in stocks and shares were apparently unmoved.
"The market seems to be unfazed by the fact that the Fed is looking to be somewhat aggressive in raising rates," said Paul Nolte, portfolio manager at Kingsview Asset Management in Chicago.
Oil was also higher. Brent Crude was 1.9% ahead at $52.30 while West Texas Intermediate was up by 2.2% at $49.42.

Emergency crews were called to the scene near Sainsbury's shortly before 07:00 BST on Sunday after three youths had "stripped off" and gone into the water but could not get out.
A member of the public alerted South Wales Police.
The youths were not injured.
The couple, who have been named locally as Donald and Maureen Macmillan, were discovered outside the house in Gravir in the South Lochs area overnight.
They ran the post office in the small community about 25 miles south of Stornoway.
Mr Macmillan was in his 70s and had been with the post office for almost 50 years.
It is not clear yet how or why the couple ended up outside as temperatures dipped below freezing.
People in the community have been shocked by the news, saying the Macmillans were well known in the community and a lovely couple.
Police Scotland said officers were at the scene and their investigation was at "a very early stage".
The deaths are currently being treated as "unexplained".
Murdo MacLennan, a local Free Church elder, has paid tribute to the couple, describing them as "lovely".
He said they would be missed in the local community.
Volunteers carrying out a study of aquatic invertebrates discovered the creatures at Low Barns Nature Reserve near Witton-le-Wear.
Durham Wildlife Trust said the Ranatra linearis is common in south and central Britain but very rare in the north.
Reserve officer Mark Dinning said: "This was an exciting find, proof that nature is always ready to surprise us."
The water stick insect hides amongst reeds and stems where it waits, camouflaged, to ambush passing creatures such as tadpoles and small fish.
It uses its long thin tail like a snorkel allowing it to breathe when submerged.
The UK has increased its contribution to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) to £300m, which sends funding to 59 of the poorest countries.
But the biggest increase has been in promises in increased spending from developing countries.
Julia Gillard, chairwoman of the GPE, said this was "an enormous step forward for delivering education for all".
The summit, held in Brussels on Thursday, brought together education and international development ministers, aid organisations and United Nations agencies.
The GPE was holding a "replenishment" process, to gather funding up to 2018.
Alice Albright, the GPE's chief executive, also welcomed the addition of funds from private donors, such as the Hewlett Foundation and Dubai Cares, and the promise of support in the form of training from Microsoft.
Initial pledges worth about £1.2bn were delivered at the summit from governments and donors, including a doubling of funding from the European Union to £300m.
The UK currently remains the biggest single donor.
Former donors such as Spain have said their own financial problems mean that they will have to delay contributions.
Donations are linked to promises from recipient governments to increase their own public spending on education.
And the proposed increases from 27 developing countries are forecast to be worth £15bn over four years.
Figures published by Unesco on Thursday showed that there are still 58 million children without any access to schools - and that progress has been stalled since about 2007.
Girls are particularly likely to miss out on school.
Gordon Brown, UN global education envoy, described providing education for girls as "one of the great civil rights struggles of our generation".
Mr Brown told BBC News: "I think there is a new momentum that's come from girls leading their own campaign. They're saying 'We must have this right to education'.
"It's been forced onto the political agenda."
"I think governments are beginning to understand the connection between education and the economy. They're never going to move from being a low income country unless they invest in education," said Mr Brown.
Mr Brown said such increased spending on education by developing countries marked a significant change in attitude.
"The issue now is how we have a more effective partnership between additional aid and governmental energy in countries such as Nigeria, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Yemen."
And Mr Brown said this was a problem that prompted both compassion and anger.
"There's compassion because you see a child locked out of school - the loss of hope. And there's anger because this isn't an insoluble problem. We don't need a medical breakthrough, or a technological genius, what we need is political will."
Andris Piebalgs, EU commissioner for development, said the increased funding was an act of "solidarity" with children deprived of a chance of an education by an accident of birth.
He said it should be "human nature" to want to provide education for all children.
But he also said it was to the long-term advantage of Western governments, by driving growth and expanding markets.
"It's self evident that it's an economic benefit," he said.
And he said that improving education and improving skills in developing countries would reduce the pressure for illegal migration.
The latest figures on children missing out on school, published by Unesco, show the scale of the challenge.
The international community had set a millennium goal that all children around the world would have access to a primary school by 2015 - but the updated figures show this target is likely to be missed.
Unesco's monitoring figures show there have been major advances in 17 countries, including Morocco and Nepal - reducing the number of out-of-school children by 90%.
But overall there has been little progress since 2007, says Unesco, with more than 30 million children in sub-Saharan Africa without any education.
"Most of these children will never start school and those who do are at risk of dropping out, " the report said.
Julia Gillard says that the support given to the GPE is a sign of optimism.
"We have today secured a record commitment of new funding for education in developing countries around the world.
"This exceptional result is a vote of confidence in the power of education to lift the lives of millions of children."
The Bishop of Willesden, the Right Reverend Pete Broadbent, said the union between Prince William and Kate Middleton would last about seven years.
He apologised for the remarks on Monday but has been asked by the Bishop of London to withdraw from public ministry "until further notice".
The royal couple are to marry in April.
Clarence House announced on Tuesday that Westminster Abbey would be the venue for the 29 April wedding, which Prime Minister David Cameron said would be a public holiday to mark a "national day of celebration".
However, when the news of the engagement broke, the bishop wrote on the social networking site: "We need a party in Calais for all good republicans who can't stand the nauseating tosh that surrounds this event."
The Bishop of London, the Right Reverend Richard Chartres, who announced the suspension, said he had been "appalled" by the comments.
In a statement, he said: "In common with most of the country, I share the joy which the news of the engagement has brought.
"I have now had an opportunity to discuss with Bishop Peter how his comments came to be made and I have noted his unreserved apology.
"Nevertheless, I have asked him to withdraw from public ministry until further notice.
"I have been in touch with St James's Palace to express my own dismay on behalf of the Church."
The bishop made a number of comments on the site on Wednesday.
He said: "Marriages should be about family, not "some piece of national flim-flam paid for out of our taxes, for a couple whose lives are going to be persecuted and spoilt by an ignorant media".
He criticised the monarchy for a history of broken marriages and a "corrupt and sexist" hereditary principle, before going on to attack the "gutter press" for "persecuting" the Royal Family.
In a statement published on Monday, Bishop Broadbent said he had conveyed his own "sincere regrets" to the couple and to Prince Charles and admitted he had been "unwise".
"I recognise that the tone of my language and the content of what I said were deeply offensive, and I apologise unreservedly for the hurt caused," he said.
"I accept that this was a major error of judgement on my part. I wish Prince William and Kate Middleton a happy and lifelong marriage and will hold them in my prayers."
Graham Smith, of anti-monarchy campaign group Republic, said while he would not have used Bishop Broadbent's language, he shared his concerns about the "celebrity culture" surrounding the Royal Family.
"He has every right to raise those concerns and speak his mind on the matter, even using strong language to get his point across."
Bishop Broadbent was not believed to be among those present at the general synod or during a service of Holy Communion at Westminster Abbey attended by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on Tuesday morning, the Press Association news agency reported.
At the synod, Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams said he spoke for those present in expressing "delight" at the forthcoming marriage.
The Bishop of Willesden is responsible for churches in the London boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Harrow and Hillingdon.
Christine Archibald, 30, a former homeless shelter worker, is the first victim to be named after Saturday's attack at London Bridge.
Her family asked people to donate money or their time to a shelter, saying: "Tell them Chrissy sent you."
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said he was "heartbroken" at Ms Archibald's death.
Three attackers were shot dead by police after driving a van into pedestrians on the bridge, before going on to stab people in Borough Market.
The attack left seven people dead and 48 injured. Of the 36 people still being treated in hospital, 18 remain in a critical condition.
In a statement, Ms Archibald's family said they had lost a "beautiful, loving daughter and sister".
"She had room in her heart for everyone and believed strongly that every person was to be valued and respected," they said.
"She would have had no understanding of the callous cruelty that caused her death."
They said Ms Archibald, from British Columbia, had worked in a shelter for the homeless until she moved to Europe to be with her fiancé, Tyler Ferguson.
"Please honour her by making your community a better place.
"Volunteer your time and labour or donate to a homeless shelter. Tell them Chrissy sent you," the statement added.
Mr Ferguson's sister, Cassie Ferguson Rowe, said her brother held Ms Archibald as she died in his arms.
Writing on Facebook, she said: "Last night in London my baby brother lost the love of his life on the London Bridge.
"In a split second his entire life was ripped away from him. Hearing his painful sobs on the phone while he's alone trying to deal with this tears me apart.
"I have no words. If you know Tyler, please be there for him now, and later when what happened sinks in, he's going to need us all."
Mr Trudeau said Canadians "stand united with the British people".
"We will continue to work together with the United Kingdom and all our allies to fight terrorism and bring perpetrators to justice," he said.
"These hateful acts do not deter us; they only strengthen our resolve."
Woods, 39, announced an indefinite break from the game this week.
Hank Haney, who spent six years with the 14-time major champion, told BBC Radio 5 live that Woods had "no choice" but to withdraw from competitive golf.
"Whatever the reason, he definitely has not practised like he did earlier in his career - and it shows," Haney said.
"Make no mistake about it, this is not a bump, this is not a hill... this is a mountain he has to climb to get anywhere near back to where he was.
"Has he lost the desire and energy? I don't think there is any doubt. Who knows when we'll see him again?"
Haney said injuries and having two young children had impacted on Woods.
He also claimed "big, big issues" in the former world number one's game meant the decision to take time out was "pretty predictable".
BBC golf commentator Peter Alliss believes Woods needs "a guru" to rediscover his magic on the course.
"Tiger might go to India like the Beatles and discover something magical," said Alliss, who hoped Woods would remain a force in the game
"He'd be a huge miss. He's been a giant in a land of Lilliputians for years."

Woods has begun his break from golf at Beaver Creek in Colorado, where he is supporting girlfriend Lindsey Vonn as she competes in the Alpine Skiing World Championships.
The American missed the cut at the Phoenix Open at the end of last month with an 11-over-par 82 - the worst round of his professional career - and finished last of a field of 132.
Woods, who has not won a major in seven years, also withdrew from last week's event at Torrey Pines in California after just 12 holes, citing a back problem.
"I need a lot of work on my game and to spend time with people that are important to me," Woods said earlier this week.
However, he indicated on his website that he could return as early as the Honda Classic, which starts on 26 February.
Alliss, 83, says he is at a loss to explain the reasons behind the recent decline of Woods but only wants him to return if he can banish his problems.
"I'd like him to finish and play well," said Alliss. "I don't want him to remember him hitting 82 and walking off courses in a wounded state."
Paul Azinger, 55, has urged fellow American Woods to take a back-to-basics approach and stop over-thinking his swing.
Azinger told USA Today: "What Tiger has done is sacrifice a winning swing at the altar for a quest for the perfect swing. And a perfect swing doesn't exist."
The car was torched on Y Wern, Caia Park, just before 09:30 GMT on Friday but no-one was injured.
North Wales Police said this fire is not being connected to an arson attack at a derelict flat on Garner Road on Thursday evening.
An investigation has been launched into the car fire.
Saad Douma, 58, has been a member of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood for 35 years. He is a head teacher and as loyal a supporter as you can get of President Morsi.
"Dr Morsi, through his quietness and the wisdom, will steer us through these troubled times and bring the politicians together," he says.
Mr Douma feels that way in spite of what has happened to his own son.
Ahmed Douma, 23, is an opposition activist. The authorities have punished him on the grounds that he insulted the president on a talk show.
Referring to the deaths of protesters at anti-government rallies, Ahmed called Mohammed Morsi a murderer who had escaped justice. It was enough to have him sent to prison.
Saad Douma says he does not blame the president at all for his son's continued incarceration. Instead, he says Ahmed went too far in his criticism.
"The disagreement between us, about his ideological views, is partly because he's too outspoken," he says.
"His words go beyond the limit of our traditions and what's acceptable."
However, Mr Douma told us he thought about his son all the time.
"Only when I visit Ahmed am I sure he's ok," he says. "But when it is time to leave him, behind bars, without his freedoms, it hurts me."
In a rural area, like Beheira in Egypt's Delta region where the Doumas are from, tradition matters and people are far more likely to be conservative and to support President Morsi. That is particularly true for older generations.
In Cairo though, we meet a younger member of the Douma family. Ahmed's wife, Nourhan.
With her husband in jail, she has taken up his cause against the Muslim Brotherhood and the way it has governed the country.
We find her among opposition protesters gathered in a conference hall, chanting anti-Morsi slogans.
They are also planning huge demonstrations to coincide with the end of Mohammed Morsi's first full year in office on 30 June.
"The Brotherhood is trying to polarise people, and Egyptians know it," says Nourhan.
But she acknowledges that politics has managed to tear apart her family.
"It caused more and more problems between Ahmed and his parents," she says.
"We do still manage to meet, and even go on visits to the prison together, but we still have to avoid talking politics or watching the news together to make sure there are no controversial discussions."
Of course, the splits in the Douma family are being reflected across Egyptian society.
Back in Beheira at a busy village junction, we asked a group of people if they were in favour of this weekend's countrywide protests against the president, or not.
"The only way out is to take to the streets on 30 June because we haven't seen anything of what the president promised - he deceived us," said Islam Shahin, 29.
"He only cares for himself and the Brotherhood."
But Eid el Sherif, 40, had a very different view.
"They don't give President Morsi a chance," he told us.
"Whenever he takes a step forward, they make him go 20 steps back. People should wait until Dr Morsi's term in office comes to an end, after the four years, then judge him."
With that, the discussion became more aggressive. Raised voices, animated hand gestures, entrenched views quickly exposed.
It is sometimes difficult for Egyptians to see how their society will ever be united again. The coming days are likely to make it even harder.
But in meeting Saad Douma, I got an undeniable sense that in spite of their very different opinions about the president, he had a great deal of pride in his son, Ahmed.
When he talked of his son's childhood, Mr Douma beamed as he spoke of Ahmed's ability to stand up for what he believed in.
And in meeting Ahmed's wife, Nourhan, it was clear that whatever her feelings about the Muslim Brotherhood, she had utmost respect for her father-in-law.
Both told me they felt the splits in their family and in Egypt were temporary and that the spirit of the Egyptian people would ultimately bind their country together.
But if there are more deaths and injuries in clashes between pro- and anti-Morsi supporters - as are expected in coming days given the dangerous rhetoric there has been - other Egyptians will be less sure the divisions can be healed.
Global sales totalled €8.62bn (£6.9bn; $9.8bn) for the three months to March.
LVMH owns more than 60 luxury brands, including the Kenzo fashion line and the high-end watch labels Bulgari and TAG Heuer.
The company said the US market is strong, and "Europe remains well oriented except for France which is affected by a fall in tourism."
The Paris terror attacks in November last year led to a 50% drop at some store sales. The retailer makes 10% of all its sales in France. The company's headquarters is in Paris.
The perfumes and cosmetics part of the business saw the biggest jump in revenue in the first quarter, at 9%. Much of the boost came from strong sales from the Christian Dior brand.
But the results fell slightly short of analysts' expectations. According to a Reuters poll, industry-watchers were expecting sales to come in slightly higher at €8.72bn.
"Overall this is not very surprising, as LVMH and LVMH fashion and leather goods are so big that they can be seen as a proxy of the luxury goods sector - and the luxury goods sector is on the back foot," said Luca Solca, analyst at Exane BNP Paribas.
The retail group used to enjoy double-digit sales growth in China, with strong demand coming from the middle class. The company now faces much stiffer competition there, causing demand to slow.
Also, the Chinese government last year imposed a strict clampdown on luxury and ostentatious spending by government officials. That has led to a decline in luxury goods sales across the industry in China.
That is precisely the intention of course because it is not meant to hold power to account.
That is kept tightly in the hands of the ruling Communist Party, and the key policies have long been decided in advance.
Nonetheless, every year, the meetings do provide an occasional glimpse of something meaningful for those watching closely.
Here then are two of them for 2016; the first, a rare act of dissent that could not be stifled and the second, paradoxically, an all-too-common act of obeisance that was mysteriously hidden from view.
Much has already been written about Jiang Hong.
As thousands of his fellow delegates began arriving in Beijing two weeks ago, with their rubber stamps at the ready, Mr Jiang had different ideas.
He had already given an interview to a Chinese online current affairs magazine, Caixin, suggesting that delegates should be free to speak their own minds, rather than be compelled blithely to follow the will of the party.
Government censors promptly deleted that interview, a clear demonstration that delegates are not free to do anything of the sort.
Undeterred, Mr Jiang proceeded to give another interview to the same magazine in which he described the censorship as "terrible and bewildering".
Published along with a daring photo of a mouth gagged with masking tape, that follow-up article was deleted too.
But still far from cowed, Mr Jiang agreed to a BBC interview, conducted inside the meeting hall close to Tiananmen Square.
"If a society only listens to one voice, then mistakes can be made," he told us.
"A good way to prevent this from happening is to let everyone speak up, to give us the whole picture."
"I feel there's been an increase in things being deleted online - articles and blogs and posts on Wechat," he continued.
"This has made people worried about expressing their opinions."
Before we could finish our interview, Jiang Hong was hurried away by an official who insisted that we would make him late for his meeting - something other media outlets have experienced amid reports that delegates have been advised against impromptu discussions with the foreign media.
But Mr Jiang's determined insistence on exercising his right to free speech illustrates how China's annual parliament is not always quite so rigid and compliant as it first seems.
For the few who choose to use the opportunity, with the media access and at least the pretence of openness, it offers a precious moment in which they can push the boundaries a bit and, in doing so, highlight the debates that are often rumoured to be raging inside the ruling elite.
And Mr Jiang has done exactly that.
The response to his comments suggests that there is growing disquiet over the recent tightening of the restrictions on freedom of expression, with even one state-run newspaper weighing in with an old saying that "a thousand yes men cannot compare with one person who criticises frankly".
And so to our second moment at this year's event, one that has also lifted the curtain somewhat on the hidden tensions behind the scenes.
It came inside the Great Hall of the People as China's President Xi Jinping attended a sideline meeting of the Province of Hunan Communist Party Committee.
The Provincial Party Secretary Xu Shousheng is in mid-flow when his speech takes an unexpected change of tack.
"Before Chinese New Year," he says to President Xi, "a song by the title 'I don't know how to address you' went viral online in Hunan."
The lavish production, reportedly commissioned by the Hunan government, tells the story of one of Xi Jinping's visits to the Hunan countryside, and Mr Xu was keen to sing its praises.
"It vividly reflects [your] devotion to the poverty-stricken village of Shibadong," he tells him.
Mr Xi can be seen smiling and nodding slightly, although soon after video links of the exchange, along with references to the viral song being raised at the meeting, were seemingly deleted from the internet, with the links returning instead the familiar error message for removed content.
At a time when the main message of this year's parliament was meant to be the Communist Party's efforts to boost a flagging economy, with the looming threat of mass industrial layoffs, having the nation's top brass compose songs to each other and then crow about them, probably does not seem like the best exercise in public relations.
Nonetheless, tribute songs to Xi Jinping have become something of a musical genre in their own right in recent years, leading to speculation that such public displays of devotion are being encouraged as part of a growing cult of personality around him.
While spontaneous songs written and sung by grass roots performers - of which there are many - are one thing, for such tributes to be commissioned by senior party officials is altogether different.
Along with the crackdown on dissent and freedom of speech, as well as an increasingly ideological tone, some observers worry that Chinese politics is now taking a more authoritarian direction of the kind not seen since the days of Chairman Mao.
And with the normal political process so opaque and closed, the things we can glimpse on the edges of China's parliamentary set pieces are sometimes all we have to go on in trying to assess the truth.
The last word, perhaps, should go to Jiang Hong, the censored but still determined delegate.
"What's happening now is a lot better than what happened during the Cultural Revolution," he tells us.
"However, in terms of citizens' freedom of expression, there are still obstacles. At least I can still express my thoughts; I can voice my opinion within the boundaries of this meeting.
"But what really upsets me is that I can't express my opinion to the public. In this aspect, there's still a lot of improvement needed in our country. "
In its short history, the 37-storey office tower has melted parked cars and critics have compared its three-storey roof garden to an airport terminal.
Thomas Lane, who runs the awards, said the carbuncle "crashes into London's skyline like an unwelcome party guest".
A YMCA building and student halls in Cambridge were also in contention.
Other buildings vying for architecture's wooden spoon were Parliament House, Southampton City Gateway and Woodward Hall in north-west London.
Mr Lane, editor of Building Design magazine, said it was a challenge to find anyone with something positive to say about the Walkie Talkie, officially known as 20 Fenchurch Street, which was completed in April 2014.
"It bulges out towards the top in a cynical move to maximise the amount of high-value space at the upper levels, in defiance of the principle tall buildings should taper elegantly inwards or at least feature parallel sides," he said.
"The result is Londoners now have to suffer views of this bloated carbuncle."
During its construction, sunlight reflecting off the glass exterior melted parts of a Jaguar car.
It has also been reported that the tower, designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Vinoly, creates a wind tunnel effect at its base.
Previous winners of the Carbuncle Cup include apartments above a Tesco store in Woolwich, south-east London, Liverpool's ferry terminal, student flats in north London, the renovation of the Cutty Sark and the Strata Tower in south London's Elephant and Castle.
To find a winner, readers of Building Design nominate their most hated buildings, which are then whittled down into a shortlist by a jury of architects and writers.
Details of the cost, sign posting, and enforcement are due in a report in March.
Work on the scheme is due to begin later this year with it being completed over three financial years.
The plans were approved by members of the council's transport and environment committee.
About 25 miles of Edinburgh's roads, from Arthur's Seat to Blackford Hill, are already covered by a 20mph limit.
The scheme is designed to improve safety and encourage more people to walk or cycle.
Environmental campaigners welcomed the move but some cautioned that more needs to be done to tackle air pollution and encourage active transport.
The local authority said the new arrangements will come into effect on a phased basis from the end of the year onwards, provided the necessary speed limit orders are secured.
Limits of 30mph and 40mph will be maintained on key arterial routes in the city.
Transport convener Lesley Hinds said: "I'm pleased that committee has today given the green light for our 20mph plans.
"This initiative has been under development for nearly three years and we've carried out a huge amount of public consultation.
"The most recent and most extensive consultation last autumn found that 60% of respondents were supportive or strongly supportive of our proposals."
Friends of the Earth Scotland's air pollution campaigner Emilia Hanna said: "We welcome Edinburgh Council's decision to introduce 20mph zones across the city.
"20mph zones will create safer, more attractive and more enjoyable streets for everyone. They will encourage more cycling and walking and help to fight dangerous air pollution.
"One of the biggest barriers to walking and cycling is fear of speeding traffic, so 20mph zones, if accompanied by greater investment in active travel infrastructure, could transform how people move around the city."
Figures released by the charity at the weekend showed that some streets in Edinburgh are still breaking Scottish and European standards for clean air.
It said 20mph zones can lead to traffic flowing more smoothly, cutting down on the acceleration and braking which causes emissions.
Ms Hanna added: "Traffic fumes in urban areas are the main source of air pollution.
"Breathing in polluted air increases your chances of having a heart attack, a stroke or developing cancer.
"20mph zones are just one of several measures which the council needs to introduce to tackle air pollution."
WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: "As well as helping to cut polluting emissions from cars, this initiative could encourage more people to consider cycling and walking in the city.
"Edinburgh Council are to be congratulated for this forward-thinking move and we'd encourage other city councils to follow their lead."
Stuart Hay, head of campaign charity Living Streets Scotland, said: "Lower speeds on shopping and residential streets means a safer and more pleasant city for everyone with higher levels of walking and lower levels of accidents.
"Living Streets looks forward to working with the council to promote the scheme and its benefits as it is rolled out."
The A712 between Newton Stewart and New Galloway was shut last week after the vehicle left the road.
It has since reopened but operations near Clatteringshaws to recover the vehicle have so far been unsuccessful.
A spokesman for Dumfries and Galloway Council said the road would have to close at some point over the next two weeks in order to remove it.

Bradford Bulls were liquidated on Tuesday after administrators were unable to find a suitable buyer.
The governing body has received 10 expressions of interest and has set a deadline of Monday, 9 January.
Bidders are more likely to succeed if they promise to honour season tickets and rugby league debts, says the RFL.
The RFL Board, which is independent, will make a final decision within a couple of weeks. If an agreement is reached, the new side would play their first competitive game against Hull KR on Sunday, 5 February.
The new club would also start with a 12-point deduction. Central funding in the first year would also be limited to £150,000, the lowest of any Championship side.
A document sent by the RFL to all interested parties says that directors and shareholders of any new club would be held personally liable if it fails.
Potential new owners would have to provide proof of funds and show relevant experience of running a club before they are considered, as well passing a fit and proper persons test.
The RFL has also asked for information on potential player recruitment plans and the development of the academy.
Halfpenny, 28, is without a club ahead of the new season after leaving Toulon.
The Welsh Rugby Union had held talks earlier in the year to sign the full-back on a National Dual Contract (NDC) with one of the four Welsh regions, but no deal was agreed.
"It would be great to have him back in Wales," said Phillips.
Bath and Wasps have this week stated they are not interested in signing Halfpenny, with Phillips hoping the three-time British and Irish Lions tourist returns to one of the four Welsh regions.
"The Welsh regions should do everything they can to keep these players," said Phillips.
"Hopefully they can do everything to get Leigh back in Wales, because it would be great for everyone, especially for the young supporters to come and see the stars play.
"It's important the talent stays here."
Halfpenny joined Toulon in 2014 from Cardiff Blues and won the European Cup in his first season.
His current deal ran out with Toulon in June and with no new contract agreed with the French side, Halfpenny is set to leave after three seasons in the Top 14 and looking for a fresh challenge with the season just over a month away.
"Sometimes going outside of Wales is great for your development and a lot of players have done it and come back as better players," said Phillips.
"Hopefully he can come back and bring what he has learned outside into Welsh rugby.
"There would be so many fans who would be pleased to see him.
"He is one of the stars of the team and his return would be great for the future of Welsh rugby."
Drummonds Mill in Manningham was ravaged by fire on Thursday and the building had to be demolished after it partially collapsed.
At its height, more than 100 firefighters tackled the blaze which started in the basement.
Crews are still at Lumb Lane making the site safe and the road will remain closed until Wednesday.
Due to the nature of the demolition process, fire investigators have been unable to ascertain how the fire started, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said.
Martin Speed, district commander for Bradford, said: "The demolition process is a very intricate one which must be taken step by step.
"At this moment in time the two gable ends of the mill are still standing but could collapse so it's essential that the area remains cordoned."
Nearby homes had to be evacuated after the building caught fire at 11:30 GMT.
People were removed from about 100 properties in Lumb Lane, Manningham Lane and Grosvenor Road.
US Central Command (CentCom) said it had targeted two snipers from so-called Islamic State (IS) with what it called a "precision-guided munition".
However, the strike detonated explosives that militants had placed in the building, CentCom said.
Civilians sheltering in the lower floors were killed when it collapsed.
In another incident, 35 civilians were killed on Thursday in US-led coalition air strikes in an eastern Syrian town, monitors said.
The strikes targeted the IS-held town of Mayadeen in the province of Deir Ezzor, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Families of IS fighters, including children, were among those killed, it added.
CentCom said the death toll in the March attack in Iraq included four civilians in another nearby structure.
Eyewitnesses claimed another 36 non-combatants were also in the building, but US authorities said it had "insufficient evidence to determine their status".
CentCom previously said the planes had acted at the request of Iraqi security forces, as coalition forces attempted to wrest control of the city from IS.
The civilians had gathered in the lower floors of the building after being expelled from their homes by IS fighters, a declassified summary of the report said.
Those organising the strike "could not have predicted the presence of civilians in the structure prior to the engagement," it added.
US officials said the type of bomb was chosen "to minimise collateral damage," but the explosives hidden by IS were at least four times more powerful than the weapon itself.
"Our condolences go out to all those that were affected," Major General Joe Martin said in a statement.
"The coalition takes every feasible measure to protect civilians from harm."
Initial media reports had placed the casualty estimates as high as 200.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians have fled the northern Iraqi city as the operation to reclaim it has continued.
Thousands of Iraqi security forces, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, Sunni Arab tribesmen and Shia militiamen, assisted by US-led coalition warplanes and military advisers, are involved in the offensive, which was launched in October 2016.
The government announced the full "liberation" of eastern Mosul in January 2017. But the west of the city has presented a more difficult challenge, with its narrow, winding streets.
Iraq has also opened an inquiry into claims that its forces abused and killed civilians in the battle for the city.
A member of the public made the find near the waterworks in Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie, on Tuesday afternoon.
Police Scotland said efforts were continuing to identify the remains and establish the cause of death but it was not being treated a suspicious.
A spokesman said: "We can now confirm that the remains are of a human nature."
He said: "The process of identifying the remains continues. A post mortem will be conducted to establish the exact cause of death, however, the death is not being treated as suspicious by officers at this time. A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal."
Police are understood to have notified relatives of missing people about the discovery, including the family of John Murphy, who disappeared after leaving for work from his home in Dennistoun, Glasgow, 10 months ago.
Mr Murphy, 52, failed to turn up at work after leaving home at about 07:00 on 12 May.
Lawmakers from the three-party ruling coalition abstained, denying opponents the 50% support needed to pass the vote.
More protests are planned this weekend.
The decree has been scrapped, but protesters say the government has proved itself untrustworthy.
They also fear that new legislation, promised by the prime minister when he abolished the decree, might contain some of the same elements in a different form.

The decree would have decriminalised abuse of power offences where sums of less than €44,000 (£38,000; $47,500) were involved.
That was seen by many as an attempt by the government to let off many of its own officials caught in an anti-corruption drive. The government had argued that the changes were needed to reduce prison overcrowding and align certain laws with the constitution.
On Tuesday, President Klaus Iohannis accused the ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) of plunging the country into crisis with its "strange kamikaze strategy" only two months after convincingly winning national elections.
Mr Iohannis, who is a member of the opposition centre-right National Liberal Party, told a joint session of parliament that it was too early to hold snap elections.
But he called on the government to come up with solutions. Social Democratic legislators staged a walk-out.
The Constitutional Court is due to rule this week on whether decree number 13, the legal measure which provoked mass demonstrations, broke the constitution or not.
The decree has already been revoked, but the court's ruling too will affect what the government does next, says the BBC's Nick Thorpe in Bucharest.
The issue has sparked Romania's largest protests since communism fell in 1989.
The attack happened at the Old Harrow pub in Main Street, Grenoside, on 26 December.
Police said a 26-year-old man is in hospital in a stable condition with suspected gunshot wounds.
Two men and a woman, who were arrested earlier in the week in connection with the incident, have been released on bail.
Charlton loanee Charles-Cook only needed a minute to notch his first, firing in on the rebound after Ross Worner saved his initial effort.
Sutton then grew into the contest, having a penalty saved by Solihull goalkeeper Nathan Baxter in the 38th minute, but Charles-Cook sucker-punched them with his second on the breakaway in first-half stoppage time.
Charles-Cook then turned provider, squaring the ball for fellow debutant Oladapo Afolayan to make it 3-0 with 20 minutes remaining.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
Ali Crawford gave the home side a 15th-minute lead before David Templeton scored his first for the club.
Steven Boyd added a third in the 74th minute to round off a comfortable win for Martin Canning's side.
Despite a penalty shoot-out win for Queen of the South over Albion Rovers after a 2-2 draw, both sides missed out on a place in the second round.
Accies boss Canning had made eight changes from the midweek 4-4 draw with Albion Rovers.
That led to a slow start, but midfielder Crawford set the Premiership side on their way with a stunning 25-yard free-kick.
The goal settled Canning's men and visiting goalkeeper Chris Smith made further saves; one from another Crawford free-kick, twice from efforts by striker Rakish Bingham, while also denying Danny Redmond from close range.
Summer signing Templeton drilled in number two from Louis Longridge's lay-off before being replaced by Boyd, who blasted a decent chance over the bar before making amends when he beat Smith with a header.
Queen of the South twice came from behind at home to Albion Rovers in a game both sides needed to win to have a chance of taking one of the four best runners up spots.
Alan Trouten continued his fine start to the season for the visitors, scoring twice to make it seven goals in four games.
However, Stephen Dobbie and Darren Brownlie scored to take the game to penalties, with the home side earning the bonus point with a 4-2 win.
Chairman Ron Dennis says he will not consider whether to choose Button or reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne until the Italian Grand Prix.
"We're not even talking about it until Monza," Dennis told BBC Sport. "Why should we decide now?"
Button, the 2009 world champion, is out of contract at the end of the season.
Dennis said there was no advantage in deciding now because, among other reasons, "you just disenchant a driver".
The team are believed likely to choose Belgian Vandoorne, who out-qualified the Briton and scored a point on his grand prix debut in Bahrain this year, where he was standing in for the injured Alonso.
But the decision could yet go in favour of Button, who has strong marketing appeal, vast experience and proven capability.
Alonso and Button are 14th and 15th respectively in the drivers' championship standings.
If McLaren did choose Button, they would likely try to retain a contractual relationship with Vandoorne and perhaps farm him out to another team to gain experience and better judge his potential.
Dennis said in May that he considered the Belgian "an integral part of McLaren-Honda's future", adding: "Any team that imagines they may be able to poach him is very much mistaken. You may rest assured Stoffel is not for sale."
Vandoorne, who is considered the hottest prospect not yet in a full Formula 1 seat, is of interest to Renault, whose team principal Frederic Vasseur rates the 24-year-old extremely highly having run him in the GP2 feeder series, of which he is the reigning champion.
But Vandoorne cannot sign for another team until an option date in his McLaren contract lapses in the autumn.
Button is also of interest to Williams, who are likely to drop Brazilian Felipe Massa for next season.
Button's manager Richard Goddard said the 36-year-old had not yet decided what he wanted to do next season.
Williams have an option on Finn Valtteri Bottas and are likely to retain him, but have made no final decision on their driver line-up.
Alonso is under contract to McLaren until the end of 2017 and has said he will not make a decision on his future beyond that until he has experienced the new cars and Pirelli tyres that are being introduced next season.
These are aimed at making the cars a greater challenge to drive with the tyres able to withstand being driven much harder for a longer period than the current design, which have to be managed extensively.
The two-time champion told BBC Sport earlier this year that the tyres would be "a big factor" in his decision but added that if he stays in F1 into 2018 it will be with McLaren.

It's to welcome the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Twenty thousand lights were used here to represent joy and prosperity.
Jake Ball took 5-66 as the visitors were bowled out for 247, before Notts reached 24-0 at the close on day two.
Ball's hat-trick late on day one had left Middlesex 0-3 in the first over of their reply to Notts' 241 all out.
Nick Gubbins made a patient 75 from 226 balls as Middlesex scored just 149 runs in the first two sessions.
Captain James Franklin (40) and the rest of the batting line-up were similarly watchful following the carnage at the start of their innings, but it was down to last-wicket pair of Tim Murtagh and Steven Finn to guide them to a slender advantage.
Ball had to wait until after tea for his first wicket of day two, having Franklin caught at third man, before he caught and bowled Toby Roland-Jones to complete his second five-wicket haul in the Championship this season.
Notts openers Steven Mullaney and Jake Libby added some handy runs at a quick rate in the final five overs of the day and, crucially, negotiated them without loss.
Claire Hensman has been appointed by the Queen to the role when incumbent Sir James Cropper retires in December.
Mrs Hensman, who was high sheriff in 2007-08, lives in Kendal and is a board member of the University of Cumbria.
Her charitable work includes projects with disabled people, disadvantaged young people, prisoners and those with alcohol and drugs problems.
The lord lieutenant role dates back to the time of the Tudors and holders are usually a retired local notable, senior military officer, peer or business person.
As the sovereign's representative, the post is non-political and unpaid, although some expenses can be claimed.
Duties include escorting royal visitors, leading the local magistracy as chairman of the Advisory Committee on Justices of the Peace and advising on Honours nominations.
Although the post can be held by a man or a woman, it is the first time that a woman has been appointed in Cumbria.
Mrs Hensman said she felt honoured to have been chosen to succeed Sir James, who has held the office for 18 years.
"I will endeavour to maintain the same high standard he has set," she said.
"To have the opportunity to serve Her Majesty the Queen and the Cumbrian community is a great privilege and I look forward to the challenge enormously."
This could push the final cost of HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales to about £7bn - from the agreed £5.2bn.
At least one of the carriers is to be redesigned to take the US Navy's version of the Joint Strike Fighter.
Defence Secretary Liam Fox said the government would take a "fairly stiff view" of any costs increase.
The Ministry of Defence said no final decisions on a redesign had been taken, but added that it believed the final cost of the 60,000-tonne vessels, to be based in Portsmouth, would be closer to £6bn than £7bn.
The ships - which are being built by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, the members of which are BAE systems, Babcock and Thales - were saved from defence cuts under the coalition government because it would cost more to cancel the projects than proceed with them.
Ministers agreed to change the design of one, or both, of the aircraft carriers to make them compatible with different aircraft.
To take the US Navy's version of the Joint Strike Fighter, they will need to be fitted with catapults and traps - or "cats and traps" - rather than ramps.

Last November, the UK and France signed a defence treaty that agreed to share aircraft carrier resources, by keeping at least one vessel at sea between the two countries at any one time.
Each will be able to use the other's carrier in some form, certainly for training and possibly for operations.
Speaking at a Westminster lunch, Dr Fox accepted the government had increased the budget and time scale by introducing changes to the design to allow interoperability with US and French forces.
But he said: "What we are looking at is a capability that will last us, when we have it, for 50 years. Therefore it is essential to get the decisions right."
He added: "We will look at the contracting as we go through to the end of 2012 with a fairly stiff view."
HMS Prince of Wales will not enter service. It will be built but not kitted out, and then kept as a reserve vessel.
The government's strategic defence and security review in October 2010 outlined cuts of £4.7bn over four years.
The new carriers will replace the 22,000-tonne Invincible class aircraft carriers, HMS Invincible, HMS Illustrious and HMS Ark Royal.
HMS Invincible, mothballed in 2005, was put up for sale on a government internet auction website, while Ark Royal - the navy's flagship - was decommissioned in January and HMS Illustrious will be decommissioned in 2014.
Ark Royal was decommissioned ahead of schedule - along with RAF Harrier jump jets - meaning no planes will be able to fly from British aircraft carriers until 2019, when the HMS Queen Elizabeth is expected to enter service.
BBC business editor Robert Peston said: "The disclosure of the rise in costs is bound to reopen the debate about whether the UK really needs new carriers, especially since the UK will be without any aircraft carrier until 2019."

Mr Carlaw sits on a Holyrood committee considering a petition to make the golden eagle Scotland's national bird.
He suggested the eagle was a symbol of "imperial power".
Wildlife photographer Gordon Buchanan, who backs the petition, denied any Nazi links.
The Scottish Parliament's public petitions committee questioned Mr Buchanan and RSPB Scotland's Duncan Orr-Ewing.
Mr Carlaw said: "The golden eagle is the symbol of an empire that once invaded large parts of Scotland, and more recently of another empire that tried to.
"In the lifetime of many people in this country it was the last thing their relatives saw as they were marched to their deaths.
"It has been a symbol of imperial power of which Scotland is emphatically not, never has been, and hopefully never will be."
Mr Carlaw said the robin would be a better national bird, but wondered why another national symbol was needed at all and where such thinking would end.
"Do we have a national domestic animal, a national wild animal, a national grievance?" he asked.
Later Mr Buchanan said he doubted "if the symbol was shown to people in Scotland as the national bird, that anyone would see it as Nazi."
'True icon'
The petition was lodged in December by RSPB Scotland director Stuart Housden. It calls for the golden eagle to become a national symbol", alongside the lion rampant, Saltire and Scottish thistle as emblems of the country".
Mr Orr-Ewing said the golden eagle was a "true bird icon of Scotland", arguing that many highland chieftains wore an eagle feather, as did Scottish regiments and the Royal Company of Archers.
He said Scotland's golden eagle population "represents the whole of the UK's breeding pairs, and it is regarded as a Scottish species".
RSPB Scotland has said there are only 431 pairs of golden eagles remaining in Scotland, as a result of what it calls "centuries of persecution".
Mr Buchanan said colleagues of his elsewhere in the UK were "astounded that this persecution, poisonings and shootings, continues".
In December, police appealed for information after tests revealed a golden eagle found dead in Angus had been poisoned.
'Favourite animal'
A recent report by RSPB Scotland revealed that a significant number of incidents of illegal killing of birds of prey took place in areas managed for grouse shooting.
Last year, the golden eagle topped a poll in a campaign by Scottish Natural Heritage and VisitScotland to find Scotland's favourite wild animal, as part of the Year of Natural Scotland 2013 celebrations.
The petitioners are hoping that the eagle will follow the Scots pine as a national symbol. The Scots pine is to be designated Scotland's national tree following a petition to the Scottish Parliament from campaigner Alex Hamilton.
The committee resolved to put the golden eagle proposal to consultation, as had previously been done with the petition on the Scots pine.
Committee chairman and Labour MSP David Stewart confirmed that he and his colleagues were "taking this forward".
The EarlyBird study has followed 300 young people from the age of five since 2000 to measure the impact of childhood diet and exercise on later life.
Plymouth University academics behind the study believe it is the only one of its kind in the world to follow the same children for such a long period.
Funding of £500,000 will now allow the project to continue until 2017.
EarlyBird3 has won the funding from Plymouth University, Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust, the Clinical Research Network: South West Peninsula, which is part of the National Institute for Health Research, and Nestlé Institute of Health Sciences Ltd.
The study has weighed, measured and investigated children in the Plymouth area to see how their lifestyles, diet and exercise patterns affect their health - especially diabetes.
EarlyBird previously found modern children were "at quite substantial risk" of the condition.
The third phase of the project will also explore the childhood origins of dental, psychological and respiratory health problems.
Jonathan Pinkney, professor of endocrinology and diabetes at Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, said: "Not only will this give us a better understanding of how such diseases develop, it will also help us to identify methods for disease prevention and when in our life development it is best to implement those."
The study organisers are re-recruiting members of the original group.
The Briton made a mistake on his first lap when he looked set to go fastest and a red flag looked like it might have cost him a chance of pole.
The session was restarted with enough time for one lap and Hamilton beat his Mercedes team-mate by 0.434 seconds.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel will start third and fourth.
Hamilton had struggled through the practice sessions in Baku but found his form at the start of qualifying and was comfortably quickest in both the first and second sessions.
But on his first lap in the top 10 shootout Hamilton ran wide at the final real corner, Turn 16, on to the long pit straight and lost half a second in the final sector as a result. He was just 0.15secs behind Bottas.
Hamilton was planning a second lap when Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo slid into the wall at Turn Six and forced the session to be stopped while marshals recovered his car.
There were just three and a half minutes left - time for just one more lap when it takes two minutes to get out of the pits and round to the start line on F1's second longest track.
But in a thrilling conclusion, Hamilton produced a peach of a lap that gave him a big margin over the field.
"That was one of the most exciting laps I've had all year and a lot of pressure," Hamilton said.
"The first lap I easily had the time but I made a mistake in the last corner. It was all or nothing but the lap just got better and better throughout.
"I saw Valtteri ahead and knew he was doing a good lap. I was like, 'please be enough'. I am ecstatic.
"I am so pumped with that. That's how qualifying should be. It is going to be a long, hard race but we are in the best position to start."
Vettel, who starts the race 12 points ahead of Hamilton in the championship, salvaged a decent position in fourth after a difficult day.
He lost most of final practice because of a hydraulics problem and Ferrari had to do a last-minute engine change before qualifying.
Ferrari fitted an old-specification engine, the first one he used this season, which has less power than the newer engine he was meant to use, and Vettel was never close to the Mercedes pace.
Despite the extenuating circumstances, Ferrari may well be concerned by the size of the margin to Mercedes - Hamilton was 1.1secs quicker than Raikkonen, with Vettel 0.148secs behind his team-mate.
Vettel said: "We were not quick enough. The gap to Mercedes in front was bigger than anyone expected."
But he added that he expected to be able to challenge for the win.
"Mercedes will also be quick, but I have no doubts that we can be a match," he said.
For much of qualifying, Red Bull's Max Verstappen looked the closest challenger to Mercedes, but he was left breathless as the top two teams turned up their engines into qualifying mode.
Verstappen said he had lost 0.3secs on his final lap because of a gear shift problem on the main straight and felt he could have been third fastest.
The two Force Indias were next, Sergio Perez just pipping Esteban Ocon by 0.075secs, and behind them rookie Lance Stroll out-qualified Williams team-mate Felipe Massa for the first time this season, by just 0.045secs.
McLaren already knew they would be starting from the back after a plethora of engine penalties for both drivers even before the weekend started.
But they did not even have the consolation of a decent performance on track - Fernando Alonso was knocked out in first qualifying for the first time this season in 16th place, with team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne qualifying slowest, 0.7secs behind.
The only glimmer of good news was that they will not be right at the back - Jolyon Palmer will be behind them after not being able to take part in qualifying because of an engine fire in final practice.

Sylvester Stallone was the popular favourite for Creed, a role which has earned him fulsome praise for a return to form from his Rocky debut days.
But the Academy voters instead went for the quiet, understated performance of Rylance in Bridge of Spies.
The decision didn't go down well in the press room, with genuine gasps of shock that Stallone would not be taking home a statuette.
The stage at the ceremony became a soapbox as winners used their allotted time to vent on their pet subjects.
Adam McKay, director of The Big Short, kicked things off when he collected the prize for best adapted screenplay warning against voting for a presidential candidate that takes money from the oil companies.
He later clarified that he wasn't singling out a particular candidate.
"Big money is taking over our government, and until right and left goes, no more big money. It has to be like a scarlet letter on these candidates.
"So I really honestly did not mean either side, but like Google it. Just Google it. You can see what the candidates have been paid, and when you elect people that get money from banks and oil and weirdo billionaires, that's who they vote for."
Alejandro Inarritu spoke up on diversity and racism in his acceptance speech during his win for best director.

"There is a line in the film that [Hugh] Glass [played by Leonardo DiCaprio] says to his mixed-race son, 'They don't listen to you, they just see the colour of your skin'.
"So what a great opportunity to our generation to really liberate ourselves from all prejudice and, you know, this tribal thinking, and make sure for once and forever that the colour of the skin become as irrelevant as the length of our hair."
DiCaprio meanwhile called on everyone to respect the planet and focus on the challenges of global warming.
"Climate change is real. It is happening right now," he said.
"It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating."
So while the diversity issue dogged the build-up and was handled so well during Chris Rock's opening monologue, it was other world crises that were put on the agenda.

Giggs made a club record 963 United appearances and is the most decorated player in English football.
"I'm fortunate to win it and I'll enjoy it," he said.
"When you win each award you look down the trophy and you see the players who have won it before and you realise what a great accolade it is.

Now assistant to manager Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford, Giggs won 13 league titles, four FA Cups and two Champions League crowns during a glittering career.
The accolade completes a hat-trick of major PFA awards for Giggs who was Player of the Year in 2009 and Young Player of the Year in 1992 and 1993.
Giggs said: "I'm chuffed to have to have won all three awards; the young player was a long time ago and then the player award was a big surprise.
"This is the culmination of around 25 years since my debut."

The Republic of Ireland international, 25, has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Premier League side.
The Clarets' previous club record was the £10.5m deal for midfielder Jeff Hendrick from Derby County in August.
Brady joined Championship side Norwich from Hull in July 2015, having started his career at Manchester United.
He has made 26 appearances for the Canaries this season, scoring four goals.
Rob Butler, BBC Radio Norfolk
There will be mixed views from Norwich City fans over the sale of Brady to Burnley.
On his day, he was the club's best player but that day didn't seem to come along too often. This time last year, as City fought against relegation from the Premier League, Brady was a leading light. A tricky, clever winger with excellent dead-ball abilities - but more often than not he found himself in an unfavoured left-back position.
As the season wore on, it became clear that the Irishman had half an eye on representing his country at Euro 2016. It was at this tournament where Brady came of age, arguably one of the best players of the group stage.
He signed off at Norwich with a trademark whipped free-kick against Birmingham on Saturday, which was headed in by big defender Timm Klose in a 2-0 win at Carrow Road. That was one of only few highlights for him this season - Burnley have got themselves a very good player who frustrates and excels in equal measures.

Women and a child were killed in the crossfire as clashes broke out earlier this week, the BBC has learned.
Most of Sirte, the hometown of former leader Muammar Gaddafi, fell to IS earlier this year.
IS is one of a number of groups battling for control of Libya and has made advances across the country.
Fighting broke out in a residential area of Sirte on Monday between Islamic State and a Salafist Muslim group backed by angry armed civilians.
It followed the death of a Muslim cleric who - along with others in the neighbourhood - had refused to comply with IS's order for residents to pledge allegiance or face death, a local journalist told the Associated Press.
The BBC has been told that most of the 25 people who had been killed were armed civilians who had joined the fighting.
One report said IS had taken back the neighbourhood, although this has not been confirmed.
IS faced a similar battle in the eastern port city of Derna in June - the first city outside Iraq and Syria to fall to the group - and was pushed back by an al-Qaeda affiliated group.
Since Col Gaddafi's death in Sirte in October 2011, Libya has descended into chaos, with various militias fighting for power. The internationally-recognised government has been forced to leave Tripoli.
In the past year, IS has set up checkpoints and established a presence in cities across Libya.
In January, an IS-affiliated group bombed the Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli, killing 10 people.
In February and April, videos were released showing IS militants in Libya killing two groups of mainly Egyptian and Ethiopian Christians.
Air strikes against IS positions have been conducted by the Egyptian air force and by Libya's internationally-recognised government.
Libya's rival power bases
There is a sense of excitement because soon they will be released into the care of the United Nations.
"I haven't seen my mother and father since last summer," says Silva, one of the youngest there - aged 11.
All the identities of the children are being protected at the official ceremony to mark their release after years of war - so Silva is not his real name.
"I've seen many people killed when I was on missions," he says.
"I had an AK-47. It was heavy. I was fighting to protect my family and village."
The ceremony is led by Lt Gen Khalid Butrus Bura, one of Silva's commanders in the South Sudan Democratic Army Cobra Faction.
It is the powerful militia in Pibor county in Jonglei state and has been at war with government forces for more than three years - one of numerous conflicts to hit the world's newest nation since it gained independence from Sudan in 2011.
But now there is calm in Pibor and a peace deal has been signed by their leader David Yau Yau, who said he took up arms to win greater rights for his Murle ethnic group, and the government.
Before their release into a specially made UN compound in the village of Gumuruk, the children chant his name "Yau Yau" - their final battle cry.
Now for the first time in his short life Silva has ambition for his future.
"I want to go to school and learn. I don't want to fight anymore; I was scared," he says.
Sitting next to him is 12-year-old Abraham (also not his real name).
He may be a child but he carries the weight of a war veteran.
"I was scared for my life; I felt like I had to fight," says Abraham.
"Two of my sisters were murdered. I too went on missions and watched as people dropped down around me.
"I'd like to go to school now and be an administrator for Pibor county."
The fighting in Pibor is separate from the wider rebellion that erupted in South Sudan in December 2013 in which more than 50,000 have so far died.
The UN believes thousands of children have been forced to fight in that conflict on both sides.
The UN's children's agency says the children being demobilised today will be offered education and psychological support before the slow process of trying to reunite them with their families can begin.
Jonathan Veitch from Unicef says the ceremony was a significant moment and in total 3,000 child fighters will be released.
"It's the first release of its kind and considering there is a large amount of forced recruitment of children in South Sudan's civil war, the fact we can demonstrate we can get young boys out of uniform and into school is a real sign of hope for the future of this country."
The future of these young boys, many of them said they were only protecting their villages and families from government attacks, depends on the commanders who too easily send them to war.
I asked Lt Gen Butrus Bura, who led the children into into war but he also negotiated their release, if he promised not to use them again.
"Yes. I promise. We want the children to have an education," he said.
"We no longer want them in war. They only fought because it was a particular moment in our history. They will never fight again."
Before we left Pibor county we spotted a young former soldier sitting alone outside a UN tent.
He had taken his combat uniform off and told me he was 15. Peter, as we are calling him, looked years younger but was one of the few here who spoke English.
"I am no longer afraid," he said. "I want to school, become a pastor and help my village and family."
Despite the brutality and violence they have experienced, the children of Pibor county now have the chance to begin again.
It is one of the surprising adjectives Carlo Ancelotti's assistant coach Paul Clement uses to describe Paris Saint-Germain's new manager after the Italian had held court at PSG's Camp des Loges training centre for the British media earlier this week.
Clement had joined his boss at the briefing, perhaps also a chance for Steve Kean's former assistant at Blackburn to hear familiar English voices as he gets to grip with learning French.
Ancelotti has been in Paris since late December, succeeding Antoine Kombouare who had led PSG to the top of the French league before the winter break, only to be sacked by PSG's general manager Leonardo.
So having talked of finding a Premier League club after his sacking by Chelsea at the end of last season, Ancelotti finds himself in Ligue 1, which even he admits is not as strong as the English and Spanish leagues.
So what made him join PSG and its fabulously wealthy Qatari owners Qatar Sports Investments (QSI)?
"In December I didn't have a really good offer from England and then I spoke to Leonardo and I found this club, PSG, are really very ambitious," Ancelotti told BBC Sport. "They want to build a strong team, an important team in Europe.
"I feel very good and I've found a fantastic club, where there is a lot of enthusiasm to build a strong club.
"The owner is young, the president is young, the general manager is young," added the 52-year-old Ancelotti who, pausing for comic effect, adds, "and the manager is very young."
"The people involved in this club have a lot of enthusiasm and they really want to improve."
Leonardo has spent close to £100m in revamping the PSG squad but the Parisian club has been unable to attract a stellar name to the Parc des Princes.
LA Galaxy's David Beckham, AC Milan's Alexandre Pato and Manchester City's Carlos Tevez all decided against a move to the French capital.
"We had some problems because the French league is not at the level of Spain and England," said Ancelotti.
"We were able to buy Thiago Motta, Alex and Maxwell and, in the future, we will have more possibilities to buy new players."
PSG remain interested in Tevez and asked whether the Parisian club would try and sign him in the summer, Ancelotti replied: "Could be" - but the Italian suggested money might remain a stumbling block in any possible future negotiations.
"He is a fantastic player with a strong personality," said the PSG coach. "We spoke with his agent during the transfer window but we could not reach an agreement.
"I do not think Tevez will change his idea about how much he wants to earn
"I do not think he will change his idea about how much he wants to earn and I think he will ask the same in the summer that he was asking for in January."
Ancelotti might have only have been in charge of PSG for few weeks but he has already brought a new rigour and professionalism to the club according to the French journalists who regularly visit Camp des Loges, with training sessions conducted at a much greater intensity.
"He has a good way of dealing with people," said Clement. "He is very clear about what he wants to achieve tactically - both by talking to the players and by using video as well as in his half-time team talks.
"Whereas some managers might fly off the handle in training he is very nurturing."
Switching effortlessly between French, English and Italian, the urbane Ancelotti makes mentions of his liking for Parisian restaurants, but what is also striking is that he twice makes mention of a desire to manage again in the Premier League.
"Chelsea gave me the possibility to know about a new country and a new football and I have to say thanks," said Ancelotti. "Without that I wouldn't have known England and English football. I found a fantastic atmosphere and if you feel good in some place you deserve to come back."
They also gave him a whacking pay off with Chelsea revealing on Wednesday that it had cost them £28m to terminate the contracts of the Italian and his backroom staff, as well as subsequent compensation to Porto in hiring new manager Andre Villas-Boas.
"I knew when I signed if I didn't win I was sacked," said Ancelotti reflecting on his dismissal following the 1-0 loss to Everton on the last day of the season as Chelsea finished second in the Premier League behind Manchester United.
A Football Focus interview with Carlo Ancelotti will be shown later in February
A total of 56 hate crimes were recorded by GMP on Wednesday, a significant rise on the 28 reported on Monday.
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said the force could not make a "direct link" to the Manchester Arena bombing in which 22 people died, seven of them children.
But he added it was "monitoring" the situation.
Mr Hopkins said: "Sadly we've seen an increase in hate incidents since the bomb from 28 on Monday, which is our normal average a day, through to 56 on Wednesday."
A copy of a two-hourly GMP log of reported hate crimes on Wednesday, seen by the BBC, included the following incidents relating to race or religion:
Salman Abedi, a British-born Muslim from a Libyan family, blew himself up, killing 22 men, women and children, as people were leaving an Ariana Grande concert on Monday night.
A total of 66 people remain in hospital, with 23 in critical care.
It was feared the attack might spark reprisals against Muslim people, but Mr Hopkins said the city had largely pulled together in the aftermath.
"We've seen that compassion but it is important that we continue to stand together here in Greater Manchester, particularly standing together against some of the hate-filled views that we have seen from a very small minority of the community that have no place here."
He added: "I have sent a personal message out to all the faith leaders and places of worship today and have thanked them for the support they have shown and stressed that hate crime will not be tolerated."
"It is important that people report any incidents so that they can be investigated and we can support victims and their families."
Mohammed Ullah, muslim chaplain at Manchester Metropolitan University, said he was not surprised at the figures quoted by the chief constable.
"These are just the reported figures, other people are very scared to talk," he said.
Jerry and Claire have been involved in tours, pulled wedding carriages and dragged logs around Wrexham's 18th century country house Erddig.
To celebrate retirement, the pair aged 19 and 15, will visit sites around Wales as part of a farewell tour.
They will visit Plas Newydd, Penrhyn Castle, Chirk Castle and Powis Castle.
The car crashed into them in Bromley Road, Bellingham, shortly before 08:30 GMT on 26 February.
One of the five, a 31-year-old Romanian who was in a critical condition, had his life-support machine turned off on Friday, police said.
The driver was arrested and bailed on suspicion of drink-driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He will not be re-arrested in light of the death and is due to answer bail in early May, the Met Police said.
Officers were awaiting confirmation that all of the Romanian man's next-of-kin had been informed of his death before releasing details of his identity, the force added.
None of the other victims is believed to be in a critical condition.
The other injured people include a 35-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man who were initially described as critically ill but have since stabilised, plus two other men aged 36 and 46.
The pair, who won the first point as Europe won at Gleneagles in 2014, tee off at 13:35 BST against Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.
Rory McIlroy and Andy Sullivan face Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler, Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer take on Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson, while Thomas Pieters and Lee Westwood play Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar.
The three-day event at Hazeltine National in Minnesota begins with the alternate shot foursomes and four fourball matches will follow, with the pairings to be announced on Friday.
Saturday sees the foursomes and fourballs reversed before the contest is decided with all 12 players going head-to-head in singles matches.
Englishman Rose and Stenson of Sweden, who won gold and silver respectively at the Rio Olympics in August, claimed three points as a pair two years ago, including their opening fourball match to set Europe on the way to a 16½-11½ victory.
However, Spieth and Reed also went unbeaten last time out in Scotland, winning two fourballs and halving their only foursomes match.
At Gleneagles, the foursomes were played after the fourballs and Europe won that format by a combined score of 7-1.
European captain Darren Clarke has picked six rookies in his squad and England's Sullivan will be the first to play, going out second with Northern Ireland's McIlroy.
They face Mickelson and Fowler who have played together just once before at the Ryder Cup, losing a fourball match in 2010.
The only other rookie in the opening session is Belgian Pieters. He will play with Westwood, who is making his 10th appearance and is the most experienced member of the team.
Westwood, 43, has won 23 points and needs just two more to equal the European, and Ryder Cup record of 25 set by fellow Englishman Nick Faldo.
Clarke defended his decision not to play a third rookie in Masters champion Danny Willett, who has spent the past couple of days apologising for an "ill-timed and wrong" article written by his brother.
When asked if he had intended to play Willett with Westwood in Friday's foursomes, Clarke replied: "No."
He added: "Danny will be playing in the afternoon (fourballs). He is fine and is disappointed like all the guys not playing, but he understands what I am trying to do is for the team.
"Danny may well play four times, the last being his Sunday singles match."
Clarke also said that all his rookies "will play before the singles", however he added that the state of the match would dictate if they all played on Friday.
Bishop Gore School student Nyah James was discovered on Monday at an address in the Blaenymaes area of the city.
She was described as a "beautiful vibrant" child with her whole life ahead of her by her family.
Police said action will be taken against those "who post messages that are abusive, threatening or insulting".
"We would urge young people to be responsible when posting online and think about the consequences of your messages and how they may impact on others," said a force spokesman
Officers are continuing to investigate her death, and renewed an appeal for anyone with information about the teenager to contact them.
Speaking at the funeral of Samir Qantar in Beirut, executive council chief Hashem Safieddine warned Israel that it would "pay the price of its crime".
Israel has welcomed his death, but not confirmed it was responsible.
Qantar spent almost 30 years in prison in Israel for murder, but was released in 2008 in an exchange with Hezbollah.
Hezbollah sources say he died along with eight others when missiles fired by Israeli jets hit a block of flats in the Jaramana district of Damascus on Saturday night.
Thousands of mourners chanted "Death to Israel" as they carried Qantar's coffin, which was draped in Hezbollah's yellow flag, through the streets of the southern Beirut suburb of Ghobeiry on Monday.
In an address at the funeral, Mr Safieddine vowed to avenge Qantar's death.
"If the Israelis imagine that by targeting Samir Qantar they have closed an account, they are very wrong because they know and will know that they have opened accounts that are not closed with a treacherous missile," he said.
On Sunday, Israeli cabinet minister Yuval Steinitz said he was not sorry about Qantar's death, but could not comment on allegations of Israeli involvement.
Qantar, a Lebanese Druze, was 16 years old when he participated in a notorious attack in the Israeli coastal town of Nahariya in 1979 along with three other members of a Palestinian militant group, the Palestine Liberation Front.
Two policemen, another man and his four-year-old daughter were killed in the raid. A two-year-old girl was also accidentally smothered by her mother as she tried to quieten her while hiding in a cupboard.
Almost three decades later, Hezbollah negotiated Qantar's release in exchange for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers it captured in 2006. He is believed to have joined the Shia Islamist movement's armed wing upon his return to Lebanon.
Hezbollah has not said what role Qantar was playing in Syria, where thousands of Hezbollah fighters have been supporting government forces.
But Qantar's brother wrote in the Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar that since his release he had been involved in "resistance" against Israel's occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights, and that Israel had tried to kill him six times.
The US said Qantar had become one of Hezbollah's "most visible and popular spokesmen" and had "played an operational role, with the assistance of Iran and Syria, in building up Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure in the Golan Heights".
Israel is believed to have conducted several air strikes inside Syria since 2011.
In January, a suspected Israeli air strike in the Syrian Golan Heights killed six Hezbollah fighters, including the son of its late military chief Imad Mughniyeh, and an Iranian Revolutionary Guards general.
The now redundant tank, buried on the north side of the cathedral is to be removed in a community dig in 2017.
Now pictures have surfaced of its construction and use by firefighters during the war.
The work is part of a £16m project to renovate the cathedral and its grounds.
Live updates on this story and others from Lincolnshire
Susan Taylor has found the photographs, some showing her grandfather Frank Brown who was a member of Lincoln Fire Brigade during the war.
The photos show the brigade helping to build the tank and "capture a team working together to help protect our precious cathedral", she said.
A new visitor centre with exhibition space to display some of the cathedral's treasures is planned where the water tank sits.
Cathedral architect and surveyor Nicholas Rank said the dig would reveal historical information from World War Two and from buildings on the site before the water tank was installed.
It would be a chance to see "first-hand the work done to protect the cathedral from threatening air strikes".
Landscaping of Dean's Green is to create a new outdoor space and the West Front is also to be restored under the plans.
The first cathedral on the site built by Bishop Remigius was consecrated in 1092 and building continued throughout the medieval period.
The German car maker also said it would plead guilty to breaking certain US laws.
VW said it was in advanced discussions with the Department of Justice and US Customs about the deal.
The final agreement has yet to be approved by VW's management and supervisory board, which could happen later on Tuesday or Wednesday.
VW said it had negotiated a "concrete draft" of a settlement with US authorities that included criminal and civil fines totalling $4.3bn, as well as appointing an independent monitor for the next three years.
The $4.3bn fine means that the total costs associated with the emissions cheating scandal are set to exceed the $19.2bn the company has set aside to deal with the issue.
VW has already agreed to a $15bn civil settlement with environmental authorities and car owners in the US.
The scandal erupted in September 2015 when the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that many VW cars sold in America had a "defeat device" - or software - in diesel engines that could detect when they were being tested and adjust the performance accordingly to improve results.
The German car giant subsequently admitted cheating emissions tests in the US and many countries throughout the world, including the UK.
Arndt Ellinghorst, head of global automotive research at Evercore ISI, said the draft settlement was good news for VW and would "draw a line under all remaining US-related legal risk".
It was important that VW had "managed to come to an agreement that allows the company to move on", he said, adding: "It's a major relief that this doesn't get dragged into the new US administration."
Mr Ellinghorst expected the company to increase its provisions for diesel-related costs by up to €3bn to as much as €21bn.
On Monday it emerged that VW executives knew about emissions cheating two months before the scandal broke, but chose not to tell US regulators, according to court papers.
The bosses involved include Oliver Schmidt, who was in charge of VW's US environmental regulatory compliance office from 2012 until March 2015.
On Monday he was charged with conspiracy to defraud and has been remanded ahead of a court appearance on Thursday.
They will be the first such elections since the previous chamber was dissolved by a court ruling in 2012.
The authorities say the poll is the final step in a transition to democracy.
However, critics say most candidates are supporters of President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and the new parliament is likely to strengthen his control.
Polling stations are expected to open at 08:00 local time (06:00 GMT) and close from 19:00.
The election consists of two rounds of voting and results are not expected to be known until early December.
Voters will choose 596 MPs for the lower house, the House of Representatives.
Security will be tight across the country with at least 185,000 troops supporting police, Egyptian news agency Mena reported.
Will Egypt's democracy be restored?
On Saturday, President Sisi made a televised appeal for Egyptians to vote.
"Line up in front of polling stations and plant with your votes the hope for a bright tomorrow for our new Egypt," he said.
President Sisi is a former general who led the 2013 military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, following months of unrest.
Mr Morsi's party, the Muslim Brotherhood, won about half the seats in the last parliament but is now banned and its leaders are in jail - some facing death sentences.
In contrast, many figures from the regime of deposed autocrat Hosni Mubarak are on the ballot paper, says the BBC's Orla Guerin in Cairo.
While the new parliament appears to have broad powers, it is not expected to challenge the president, she adds.
Analysts say turnout is expected to be low, with many Egyptians disillusioned with the democratic process.
Apathy is particularly high among young people, with many angry at the government and its policies.

The captain scored twice in his first game since announcing he would move to Major League Soccer in the summer.
If Liverpool reach the final, which is on Gerrard's 35th birthday on 30 May, it would be his last game in England.

"There would be no better way for it to end," Rodgers said.
"Steven was outstanding. He gave a brilliant individual performance. He scored two and if he was a more selfish player he might have had a hat-trick."
Midfielder Gerrard, who was expected to be on the bench, started the game and took his tally to 182 goals in 696 appearances for Liverpool, the only club he has played for.
"He's a world-class player who might be getting older, and at times the legs fatigue a bit, but he's absolute top drawer, a top-class player," Rodgers told BBC Sport.
"He has that real sprinkling of quality that this team needs. His two goals tonight were fantastic."
Gerrard said of ending his Liverpool career at Wembley: "Hopefully that will be the case. It's what dreams are made of.
"I grew up loving the FA Cup and this is my last time, so I want to make the most of it and go all the way."
Adebayo Akinfenwa equalised Gerrard's headed opener, but the former England captain curled home a superb free-kick in the 62nd minute to secure a fourth-round tie at home to Bolton.
AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley said: "With a bit more nous, we could have got at least a draw, but we got done by a world-class player."
Assad Uzzaman, 25, was one of five men who left the UK in October 2013 to fight as jihadists.
His death has been reported by academic Shiraz Maher who tracks the movements of foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq.
Three of the Portsmouth group have also been killed. A fifth was jailed when he returned to the UK.
Mehdi Hassan, Mamunur Roshid and Hamidur Rahman have previously died in Syria.
Mashudur Choudhury returned to the UK after a few weeks and last year became the first person in the UK to be convicted of terrorist offences in connection with the conflict in Syria.
Another Portsmouth man, Ifthekar Jaman, left in the spring of 2013 and was also killed in fighting.
Uzzaman's death was reported by Shiraz Maher, a senior research fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) at King's College in London.
He said: "The last of the Portsmouth cluster of fighters with Islamic State, Assad Uzzaman (Abu Abdullah) has died."
In a statement, Flick Drummond, Portsmouth South MP, said she had visited his family earlier, describing them as "heartbroken".
On behalf of the family, she said she had spoken to the Foreign Office in a bid to find out how Mr Uzzaman died and if his remains could be brought back to Portsmouth.
She said she had been assured officials would look into it as a "top priority".
"Many people will have strong views about what Assad has done, but he was a much-loved son from a family who were completely integrated with British society with no extremist sympathies whatsoever," she said.
She also said she believed he and his friends "were well meaning when they went to Syria".
"The lesson here is simple: Anyone who thinks it a good idea to fight in Syria on any side should consider the very real possibility it will cost them their life," she added.
"Our land is our spirit," says one of the spiritual and political leaders of the Cinta Larga.
"An indigenous person without land is an indigenous person without soul," he says about the challenges facing this indigenous group in Brazil.
The group lives in the Roosevelt Indigenous Area between the states of Rondonia and Mato Grosso.
The area contains what could be the world's most abundant diamond deposit and it is these riches which are a threat to the traditional way of life of the Cinta Larga.
Under Brazilian law, no mining whatsoever should be carried out in the indigenous territory and yet illegal diamond mining has been taking place here since 1999.
An area measuring 10km by 2km (6.2 miles by 1.2 miles) in size and another adjacent area called Grota do Sossego have already been deforested for mining.
Indigenous rights activists warn that the extent of deforestation could be much greater and amount to as much as 1,000 hectares (2,470 acres).
One of the artisanal mines in the area is Lajes.
An estimated 100m reais ($31.4m; £25.7m) worth of diamonds is currently being extracted from it annually - all of it mined illegally. Geologists from Brazil's Geological Survey calculate that it has the potential to produce more than six times that amount.
They think the mine could yield one million carats of diamonds per year, worth more than $200m.
And Lajes is not the only site with potential riches. A mining company report suggests that the area could have as many as 14 sites of kimberlite, the rocks known to sometimes contain diamonds.
If the estimates were to be confirmed, it would make Roosevelt Indigenous Reserve the world's largest diamond deposit.
The Cinta Larga say that if it was down to them, there would be no illegal mining on their land.
"The problem is the government does not help us in any way and we are in dire need of a lot of things," a leader who preferred not to give his name explains.
"We don't have any medication or transport and there are no opportunities for us here,."
Those involved in the illegal mining have brought some services to the indigenous community to try to buy the trust of the Cinta Larga and convince them to allow the mining to go ahead on the Cinta Larga's land, he adds.
The riches of the land on which the Cinta Larga live have historically brought them misfortune. Before diamonds were discovered, rubber prospectors killed many of them for their land.
In the most infamous incident, in 1963, dynamite was thrown from a small plane on to a Cinta Larga village on the orders of a rubber plantation owner. The village was wiped out in what became known as the Massacre of the 11th Parallel.
Reginaldo Trindade, who officially defends the interests of the Cinta Larga on behalf of the attorney general's office, says that "the risk of a new genocide is the highest since then" because of the current conflict between the Cinta Larga and the illegal diamond prospectors.
The indigenous group, which once numbered more than 5,000, had dwindled to just 1,758 in the latest census taken in 2012.
The Cinta Larga say that they have to resort to diamond mining and trafficking to survive. The group receives some aid from the Brazilian state but they say it is not nearly enough. In 2014, the Cinta Larga received just under 105,000 reais ($33,000; £27,000), which amounted to about 58 reais ($18; £15) per person.
But the diamond mine has attracted outsiders to the area and with them have come other dangers. Bruno Lima e Silva, a former regional co-ordinator for Brazil's indigenous agency, Funai, says that the Cinta Larga "are the worst affected by the entry of drugs, alcohol, prostitution and violence" which the diamond mining has brought with it.
As the diamonds extracted at Roosevelt are mined illegally, getting them out of the area further attracts smugglers.
The Cinta Larga say the only solution they can see is for the ban on mining in Roosevelt to be lifted, so the stones can be extracted legally.
That way, they could exploit the riches below their land without coming into conflict with the authorities and without attracting the criminal elements currently involved in smuggling the diamonds.
"We want the mine to be legalised," says chief Marcelo Cinta Larga.
That will be a shame for a leader who guided 532 pieces of legislation through a hung parliament, including some major social and environmental reforms.
But for better or for worse, it will be an accurate reflection of how her premiership was perceived in Australia at the time.
Julia Gillard was then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's deputy when, to stem the wound of Labor's plummeting popularity, she deposed him in a surprise coup in June 2010.
The irony that he too had been given the boot, before being allowed to serve out his term as Australia's elected leader, has not been lost on the many Gillard detractors.
Despite Australia's long history of political coups, that event set the idea that Julia, as she is frequently referred to in Australia, had knifed a mate.
There are many narratives about what finally led to her downfall.
All have elements of truth and which one you believe most depends on which tribe you belong to.
To many women, it was the undeniable misogyny and sexist scrutiny she endured throughout her leadership that brought her down.
"Deliberately barren", "bitch" and "witch" were all phrases thrown around, sometimes by opposition MPs.
One of Australia's most listened-to radio commentators suggested, weeks after her beloved father passed away, that he had "died of shame".
Another radio "shock-jock" asked her if her partner was gay.
He lost his job. The first commentator is still on air.
A Liberal party supporter penned a mock menu for a fundraiser which promised to serve up "Julia Gillard Kentucky Fried Quail -Small Breasts, Huge Thighs and a Big Red Box".
Even feminist Germaine Greer once said the PM's "arse was fat".
Many Australians rightly say that no male politician has ever been subjected to such continued, personal attacks.
But that is not the whole story.
Even her supporters agree that her government was gifted at shooting itself in the foot.
The opposition's strategy of hammering home Labor's U-turns was made easy by two big policy flips: the carbon tax and the promise of a budget surplus.
It imposed the first when it said it would not and did not manage the second when it repeatedly said it would.
Tony Abbott: 2, Julia Gillard: 0.
Labor under Gillard was also perplexingly bad at letting the electorate know about its achievements - a revolutionary national insurance system for the disabled, a much-needed plan to save a key Australian river system, tax reform, education reform.
They all seem to have been somehow overshadowed and not just by powerful negative messaging from the opposition.
On the day she was delivering an historic apology to victims of forced adoptions, she was subjected to a phantom leadership challenge by her own party.
Instead of a powerful message of a government righting wrongs, the electorate got a vision of a party in disarray and this was the image it carried home.
Australia is nearly unique in Western democracies for the way it has survived the global financial crisis. Unemployment is low, debt to GDP ratio is comparatively low and its citizens enjoy a remarkable standard of living.
But this is not the message that Australians have absorbed.
Instead it is one of a country on the verge of a crash, with unacceptably high debt and precarious finances.
This is partially down to a media that seems to be particularly adept at looking for the gloom, but must also be down to a government that never found a way to explain to Australians how well they have endured the crisis.
Julia Gillard herself was not the best communicator. Even her friends acknowledge she needed to show more of the passion and warmth that was there but was so often kept in reserve.
But really what did for Julia was Kevin Rudd himself - the man she had toppled, who never let go of his dream of getting back into the top job.
Once he challenged and failed. Another time his supporters called for him to challenge and he did not.
The third time he rose again, after spending months courting the media in carefully scripted moments that were officially about campaigning for Labor, but were really about reminding voters he was still there, waiting in the wings, should they want him.
Polls show Labor is likely to do much better in the coming election under Kevin Rudd than Julia Gillard and the caucus finally decided to risk seeming like a fickle rabble rather than face a thrashing under a maligned leader.
Hillary Clinton famously said, when she lost out on the US Democratic party's presidential nomination, that she had not shattered her country's "highest and hardest" glass ceiling, but there were now 18 million cracks in it.
The lesson we might take from Julia Gillard's career is that shattering Australia's glass ceiling resulted in walking on a lot of broken shards.
Broadcasters have watched thousands of runs scored and hundreds of wickets taken in a season which has seen Durham win the County Championship for the third time in six years, Northants lift the FLt20 trophy for the first time and Nottinghamshire triumph at Lord's in the YB40 final.
We asked BBC local radio commentators to nominate players for the 2013 county Team of the Season.
Ed Joyce, Samit Patel, Michael Klinger, Scott Borthwick, James Foster, Alan Richardson, Kyle Hogg, Glen Chapple, Michael Hogan and Simon Kerrigan were among those unlucky to miss out after enjoying excellent summers, but here is the final XI.
"Varun Chopra's ability to make big runs at the top of the innings has again been crucial for Warwickshire.
"He reached 1,000 Championship runs for the third summer running and spent the latter part of the season as acting captain for the injured Jim Troughton.
"Chopra's highlight was his ultimately match-winning 226 not out against Middlesex at Uxbridge when he showed admirable selflessness by declaring just short of his career-best score.
"Unfortunately, he didn't make the best of his England Lions opportunity, but this winter's tour provides him with a fresh chance."
By BBC Coventry & Warwickshire's Clive Eakin
"Sam Robson's reputation as an opening batsman around the county circuit has been growing for a while, but this was the season that he announced himself to a wider audience.
"He looked certain to be the first to 1,000 Championship runs, but a slow middle of the season allowed Wayne Madsen to pip him to the landmark in a match which saw Middlesex put Derbyshire in to bat.
"Robson's game is built on his resolute defence and his ability to leave the ball, but his timing is immaculate and, once in, he can dominate bowling attacks.
"He now appears to have cleared the doubts over his international future by opting for England, his mother's native country, rather than Australia, the land of his birth."
By BBC London 94.9's Kevin Hand
"To be the first to reach 1,000 Championship runs is no mean feat.
"To do it in a struggling side, and to be the captain of that team, makes it an even more remarkable achievement.
"Composed as a captain, who is unquestioningly followed by the players at his side, Madsen also has a knack of taking wickets at crucial times and is an outstanding fielder - in short, he is a pretty decent cricketer.
"Add in his international hockey background, accounting for his wristy strokeplay, and a demeanour that exudes good manners and patience in equal measures, and you have some sportsman."
By BBC Radio Derby's Dave Jepson
"Moeen Ali finally came of age in 2013 after two summers of comparative underachievement.
"It looked as if the stylish, young Birmingham-born batsman had made the big career breakthrough when he passed 1,000 runs for the first time in 2010.
"But the security of signing a five-year contract extension has now borne fruit for an entertainer capable of destroying any attack.
"And he went into the final round of matches as the country's leading County Championship run-scorer with 1,331 runs at 66.55."
By BBC Midlands Sport's Ged Scott
"Gary Ballance has had a superb season in all forms of the game and has been given his reward with a place in England's squad for the winter Ashes tour.
"He has a solid defensive technique but is at his best when attacking, and the Yorkshire staff believe he is one of hardest hitters of a cricket ball in the team.
"Before the final Championship game, he had scored 995 runs at an average of 52, as well as 426 runs in the YB40 (average 60) and 269 in the FLt20. He is a real entertainer and an excellent fielder as well, which helps these days.
"Whether he makes the Test side in Australia remains to be seen, but one thing is sure, he will not let England down."
By BBC Radio Leeds' Dave Callaghan
"Steven Davies has been exceptional behind the stumps this summer.
"In the Championship he has always looked in good form with the bat and although he will look to convert more starts into big scores next season, he showed during his century against Warwickshire that he is lovely to watch when he is in full flow.
"In limited-overs cricket, he is a game changer on his day and his hundred against Hampshire in the opening game of the YB40 and 95 not out against Kent in the FLt20 showed what he is all about."
By BBC London 94.9's Mark Church
"David Willey's all-round contribution to Northamptonshire's fortunes is one of the chief reasons why they have competed strongly in all three competitions this summer.
"He caught the eye on T20 finals day with a 19-ball half century, a run out, a catch and a hat-trick to wrap up the club's first major trophy in 21 years, but Willey has also been consistent in the four-day game with nearly 50 first-class wickets and three fifties.
"The biggest improvement in his batting as he now plays each ball on its merits, rather than trying to crash it to the boundaries. His bowling is handy but if international ambitions are to be fulfilled, more work is required.
"His sense of fun has also stood out on the field - and off it, with his often entertaining tendency in press conferences to speak his mind. Northants are delighted to have seen him sign a new three-year contract."
By BBC Radio Northampton's Chris Egerton
"I first met Chris Jordan on the Sussex press day, a freezing April morning with a hint of snow in the air.
"Despite the weather, he couldn't wait for the season to start and gave the impression of a very determined cricketer who had a point to prove, so much so that I immediately decided he would be my 'player to watch' in 2013.
"Ahead of the final round of Championship games, his 52 wickets have elevated him to the top five wicket-takers in Division One, a top score of 92 shows he can bat, and with 20 catches he is one of the best slip fielders around.
"Surrey's loss is Sussex's gain. He has more than proved a point to his former club, and more international honours beckon after his inclusion in England's winter Performance Programme squad."
By BBC Radio Sussex's Adrian Harms
"Jeetan Patel's fall from grace with the New Zealand selectors has worked out nicely for Warwickshire.
"After a series of mishaps with overseas players in recent years the Bears have found Patel a stabilising influence over the past two seasons.
"The off-spinner's performances have been consistent and he has reached 50 Championship wickets in both campaigns. At times, he has also contributed significantly with the bat this summer.
"A popular, enthusiastic member of the squad, his presence has been crucial in a season when Warwickshire have endured so many absentees among their senior players and they wasted little time in signing him for 2014."
By BBC Coventry & Warwickshire's Clive Eakin
"Durham were tipped for relegation by so many cricket writers and have proved them all wrong by winning the title.
"Scott Borthwick has been terrific following his move up the batting order, Mark Stoneman continues to prosper as an opener in both one-day and four-day cricket and I am struggling to think of a better all-rounder at the moment than Ben Stokes.
"However, Durham's key performer has been Graham Onions, who has had to put up with an awful lot of disappointment from England, but has come back time and time again and continued to take the wickets in bundles.
"He has 60 plus this season so far, the fifth time he has taken more than 50 in a season. You always feel when he has the new ball in his hand the wickets are not far away, as many a team will testify."
By BBC Newcastle's Martin Emmerson
"Steve Magoffin must be a captain's dream - throw him the ball and you know exactly what to expect.
"He is the perfect partner for Chris Jordan, he rarely gives the batsmen a ball to hit, builds pressure, but most importantly, takes wickets, lots of them - 61 before the last round of matches.
"Nearly 30% of his overs bowled are maidens, not a bad achievement when you have bowled over 450 overs in the season, and all that with a knee complaint that needs careful management.
"The Australians might have missed a trick overlooking Magoffin this summer, but Sussex will be delighted they did, and skipper Ed Joyce probably owes him a beer or two over the winter months."

"I'm sorry, I don't want to see him," he said he told a chaplain at the time.
The raid on 28 January was the first such operation authorised by Mr Trump.
Bill Owens, whose son William "Ryan" Owens was killed, told the Miami Herald that "the government owes my son an investigation".
"Why at this time did there have to be this stupid mission when it wasn't even barely a week into his administration? Why?" he said in an interview with the newspaper published on Sunday.
"For two years prior, there were no boots on the ground in Yemen - everything was missiles and drones - because there was not a target worth one American life. Now, all of a sudden we had to make this grand display?''
US raid on al-Qaeda in Yemen: What we know
The raid - approved by President Trump just six days after he took office - is believed to have killed several civilians, including children.
Three other Americans were wounded in the raid, planning for which began under the Obama administration.
A report in the New York Times alleged that the mission had been compromised early on - something the commandos knew from intercepted communications, the paper said.
"They kind of knew they were screwed from the beginning," it quoted a former Seal Team 6 official as saying.
But the military disputed this, saying there was no evidence the mission was compromised.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said at Monday's daily briefing that he could not possibly imagine the father's grief.
"I can tell him on behalf of the president, his son died a hero," Mr Spicer said.
"The information that he was able to help obtain through that raid, as I've said before, was going to help American lives, it's going to protect our country more. He made a sacrifice for this country."
The White House suggested on Sunday that President Trump might support an investigation into the raid.
Mr Owens said he was told that his son was killed early on in a fierce gunfight that erupted with AQAP militants.
A flag-draped casket bearing his body was flown to Dover Air Base on 1 February for a private ceremony. Mr Owens said he only learned that President Trump and his daughter Ivanka were on their way when he was already there.
"I told them I didn't want to make a scene about it, but my conscience wouldn't let me talk to him," he said.
A military veteran, he told the Miami Herald that Mr Trump's comments during the presidential campaign about the family of a dead Muslim US soldier had disturbed him.
He said that the White House should not "hide behind" his son's death to ignore criticism of the raid.
William "Ryan" Owens, a 36-year-old married father of three, was a member of the elite Seal Team 6.
Derbyshire-based Arthritis Research UK is funding a ??260,000 research study at the University of Nottingham.
The cordiceps fungus is cultivated in China where it is used as a traditional medicine.
An estimated eight million people in the UK are affected by osteoarthritis.
The researchers are giving the mushroom as food pellets to rats and mice to find out if cordycepin can prevent pain.
Lead researcher Dr Cornelia de Moor said: "When we first started investigating this compound it was frankly a bit of a long shot and there was much scepticism from the scientific community.
"But we were stunned by the response from the pilot study, which showed that it was as effective as conventional painkillers in rats.
"To the best of our knowledge, cordycepin has never been tested as a lead compound for osteoarthritis pain."
Dr de Moor said if the safety and effectiveness of the compound could be proven, clinical trials could begin within six to 10 years.
Cordycepin blocks the inflammatory process that causes pain in osteoarthritis in a different way and at a different stage to existing painkillers such as ibuprofen, she added.
She warned people not to try using cordyceps until more is known about the compound.
Arthritis Research UK spokesman Stephen Simpson, said: "Dr de Moor's research is certainly novel, and we believe may hold promise as a future source of pain relief for people with osteoarthritis.
"There is currently a massive gap in available, effective, side-effect-free painkillers for the millions of people with arthritis."
Jobs will also go in Germany and in other parts of Europe.
The carmaker will offer voluntary buyouts for staff and cut jobs for "agency workers and purchased service", it said.
Ford has warned its European operations could suffer losses of $1bn (£630m) this year.
The carmaker has said it does not yet know the final number of axed workers in Europe.
Ford employs 15,000 workers in the UK and has plants at Southampton and Dagenham, among others.
In a dispute over pay and pensions, 67% of Ford's UK workers represented by the Unite union - about 1,200 white-collar employees - voted in favour of industrial action after a ballot in May.
"Ford of Europe expects the programmes to result in the reduction of several hundred salaried positions, but exact figures won't be known for a few months," Ford said.
"Any Ford salaried staff separations across all three programmes will be purely voluntary."
By Jorn MadslienBusiness reporter, BBC News
Ford's decision to cut hundreds of jobs comes as no surprise, though it will certainly be a talking point as Europe's motor industry gathers at the Paris motor show.
With a $1bn likely loss looming over its European division this year, and with further weakness in Europe's car market expected in 2013, the automotive giant has long been desperate to cut costs to match earnings.
Doing so through a programme of voluntary redundancies reflects how reluctant chief executive Alan Mulally is about resorting to brutal tactics that could backfire, in terms of both industrial and government relations.
Gloomy carmakers gather in Paris
Earlier this month, the carmaker unveiled a string of new models, including revamped versions of its best-selling Fiesta, Mondeo and Kuga brands, to revive sales in Europe.
Ford's European chief executive Stephen Odell, speaking at the launch in Amsterdam, said at the time that Europe offered tremendous growth potential in the long term.
The US automotive giant's sales fell almost 10% in Europe during the first half of 2012, to its lowest level in 17 years.
Ford wants to reduce labour costs and improve plant utilisation in Europe, where industry watchers say it uses less than 65% of its capacity.
With closing factories in Germany politically difficult, Ford is trying to get the unions and national politicians in Belgium, Germany, Spain and the UK to agree to structural changes.
Government officials and residents said fighters from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) were among those who seized Zinjibar, in Abyan province.
But opponents said President Ali Abdullah Saleh had given up the town to stoke fears of a militant takeover.
He is resisting calls to step down, despite months of popular protests and growing opposition from a key tribe.
At least 124 people died in recent days in the capital, Sanaa, in clashes between government forces and fighters loyal to Hashid tribal leader Sheikh Sadiq al-Ahmar.
A ceasefire was eventually agreed on Saturday and a deal reached to withdraw troops from Sanaa, though the timing remains unclear.
Official reports emerging from Zinjibar suggested the town was seized by force.
The AFP news agency reported that 16 people had been killed during Friday and Saturday during fighting in and around Zinjibar.
But other reports made no mention of violence. One resident of Abyan province told the BBC that the town was chaotic and there was widespread looting.
"About 300 Islamic millitants and Al Qaeda men came into Zinjibar and took over everything on Friday," a Zinjibar resident told Reuters.
However, one military unit was reported to have refused to surrender and was now surrounded, reports said.
There are conflicting accounts of the loyalties of the armed men, reflecting the complex nature of military loyalties in Yemen.
While government officials said the men were AQAP, one analyst told the BBC they were in fact an older, more established group of fighters loyal to President Saleh and his now-rival, the defected army officer Ali Mohsen (who is also Mr Saleh's brother-in-law).
The government has blamed previous attacks in southern Yemen on al-Qaeda, but the country's opposition has accused President Saleh of stoking fears of an Islamist takeover.
That pattern was quickly repeated as news emerged from Zinjibar. Opponents accused the president of allowing the town to fall to the armed men in order to claim that AQAP were becoming a major threat to Yemen's stability, the AFP news agency reported.
AQAP is known to be active in southern Yemen, but the region is also home to a long-running separatist insurgency.
The group is described by the US as one of the world's most active al-Qaeda cells.
However, it usually operates from mountainous areas away from towns and cities.
Yemen is beset by problems, including dwindling oil supplies and a growing water crisis as well as grinding poverty, political unrest and the presence of al-Qaeda and separatist rebels in the south.

The Scottish Rugby Union said it was "saddened to learn" of the death of the former Scotland and British Lions prop.
He made his international debut against France in 1954 and won 40 consecutive caps for his country.
Mr McLeod, dubbed the "Hawick Hardman" due to his strength and fitness, was inducted into Scottish Rugby's Hall of Fame last year.
As well as playing for the British Lions in 1955 and 1959, he played 14 times for the Barbarians between those years.
His last international was a draw against England in March 1962.
Off the field, he worked in the building trade and went on to own a sports shop.
He played all his club rugby for Hawick, went on to be president, and was named in the club's greatest ever team.
Current Hawick president Rory Bannerman said: "He was the consummate professional and a legend throughout the rugby world.
"He will be a well-missed figure cycling up and down the High Street in Hawick where you didn't want to get in his way just like on the field.
"Hugh was probably the greatest ever player to pull on the green jersey for Hawick."
Georgia Congressman Tom Price purchased stock from a medical company days before introducing a bill that would have helped the company, CNN reports.
Democrats have called for an inquiry but the Trump transition team have called the accusation a "smear".
And an aide to Dr Price said he was not personally behind the stock purchase.
On Wednesday the Senate will hold a confirmation hearing for him in his new role.
Ethics concerns swirl around Trump team
The people around Donald Trump
If appointed, Dr Price, who worked as an orthopaedic surgeon for nearly 20 years, will lead the Department of Health and Human Services and will play a key role in the Republican effort to overturn President Barack Obama's signature healthcare legislation.
Repealing major provisions of the law, formally known as the Affordable Care Act, would cause 18 million Americans to lose health insurance in the first year, according to a report released on Tuesday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan attacked the report as "meaningless".
According to congressional records cited by CNN, Dr Price purchased up to $15,000 (£12,000) worth of stock in Zimmer Biomet in March 2016.
Less than a week later he introduced legislation that would have delayed the creation of a new regulation that would have affected the medical device manufacturer.
Two days after offering the bill, the medical company's political action committee donated $1,000 (£800) to the congressman's re-election campaign fund, campaign records show.
Senator Chuck Schumer, who leads the Democratic minority in the Senate, called for the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate whether Dr Price had violated the 2012 Stock Act, a law designed to combat insider trading by US congressman.
"The president-elect claims he wants to drain the swamp, but Congressman Price has spent his career filling it up," Senator Schumer said in a statement.
He called it "a clear and troubling pattern of Congressman Price trading stock and using his office to benefit the companies in which he is investing".
Mr Schumer wants a temporary halt in the nomination process as the proposed investigation is conducted.
The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Dr Price had traded roughly $300,000 (£245,000) in shares over the past four years in health companies while at the same time working on legislation that would affect them.
But Trump transition spokesman Phil Blando hit back. He said: "Senate Democrats and their liberal media allies cannot abide by the notion that Dr. Tom Price is uniquely qualified... and will stop at nothing to smear his reputation."
Dr Price did not make the trades himself, he said, they were done by an independent broker without his prior knowledge.
Eight of Mr Trump's cabinet picks will face confirmation hearings in the senate this week.
Mr Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president on Friday, 20 January.
The 20-year-old was found dead on Tuesday morning near the refugee home in which he lived.
A post-mortem examination found he had died from wounds to the neck and chest.
An initial police statement reported no suspicious circumstances but a murder investigation was opened on Wednesday.
Volker Beck, a Green MP, accused the police force of negligence and amateurism.
Police have so far not commented on the case but prosecutors say they have assigned 25 detectives to investigate, Reuters news agency reports.
On Monday an estimated 25,000 protesters joined a march in the city organised by Pegida, a group campaigning against the influence of Islam in Europe.
The rallies began in October and have been growing in strength in recent weeks.
Counter-demonstrations have taken place across Germany involving large numbers of protesters.
Speaking shortly after being sworn in, Mr Varela gave the gangs one month to disarm.
He urged them to "sever links with organised crime and join civic life".
Mr Varela was Panama's vice-president, but he has distanced himself from outgoing President Ricardo Martinelli.
The two centre-right politicians fell out after Mr Varela was dismissed from his post as foreign minister in 2011.
He won the election in May with some 40% of the vote, running against a candidate backed by Mr Martinelli - Domingo Arias.
Mr Varela, 50, has promised to tackle corruption in the Central American nation in the next five years.
"From today, no one in Panama is above the law," he said during the inaugural ceremony.
"Corruption will not be tolerated in our government," he added.
Mr Varela also announced that he will sign a decree freezing the prices of 22 staple goods as his first act in office.
"Let's make it clear: I respect the free market, but I am allergic to any speculation with the basic food of the people," he said.
In foreign policy, he is expected to normalise relations with Venezuela, strained after Panama publicly supported outspoken opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was one the first to congratulate Mr Varela in May.
The president faces the challenge of maintaining buoyant growth while dealing with economic inequality. A quarter of the Panamanian population lives in poverty.
The government forecasts the economy will grow by 7% this year.
He promised to support a major expansion plan for the Panama Canal, which accounts for 8% of gross domestic product in the country.
The inauguration ceremony in Panama city was attended by the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, and heads of state from many Latin American countries.
Gross domestic product grew by 0.4% between January and March, down from 0.6% in the fourth quarter, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
On an annual basis, growth was 2.1%.
The 0.4% rate was in line with economists' expectations, and marks the 13th consecutive quarter of positive growth for the UK.
Part of the slowdown was due to a sharp fall in construction output, which dropped 0.9% in the first quarter. Industrial output, which includes manufacturing, declined by 0.4%.
The service sector, the biggest part of the economy, grew by 0.6%
"Services continue to underpin the economy but other sectors have shown falling output this quarter," said ONS chief economist Joe Grice.
This is the first estimate of economic growth for the period, using less than half the data that will be used for the final estimate.
Today's slowing economic growth figures are not all down to uncertainty about the EU referendum, although businesses I have spoken to do say that investment decisions have been delayed both by their own companies and by their customers.
In his interview with me, the chancellor says he is "the first" to admit there are other issues with the UK economy.
It would be wrong to ignore those.
Poor productivity, weak exports and falling industrial production and construction figures are more than a short term reaction to the vote on 23rd June.
They reveal significant challenges rebalancing the UK economy away from services and household consumption towards manufacturing, as well as the UK's exposure to global economic headwinds such as slower growth in China.

The Office for National Statistics said it had no evidence for or against the slowdown being linked to the EU referendum on 23 June.
The Bank of England warned earlier this month that uncertainty due to the vote could hurt growth in the first half of this year, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has downgraded its forecast for the UK economy over fears of disruption if Britain votes to leave the EU.
Chancellor George Osborne told the BBC the fact that Britain was still growing was "good news", but added "there are warnings today that the threat of leaving the EU is weighing on our economy".
"Investments and building are being delayed, and another group of international experts, the OECD, confirms British families would be worse off if we leave the EU".
But economists suggested fears over the impact of Britain's exit from the EU was only partly to blame for the slowdown.
Pantheon Macroeconomics chief UK economist Saumuel Tombs said the UK's economy had been steadily losing pace since 2014, and the boost to the economy from higher household spending and rapid employment growth "had run its course".
"Concerns about Brexit likely played a role in the first quarter slowdown and they probably will take a greater toll on GDP growth in the second quarter. But the downward trend in GDP growth since 2014 suggests that the EU referendum cannot be blamed for all of the economy's ills," he added.
But Capital Economics UK economist Ruth Miller said she expected the slowdown to be temporary.
"Many of the factors likely to be to blame for the first quarter's weakness should prove short-lived. We would not be surprised if growth were to subsequently accelerate in the second half of the year, putting the economy back on track," she added. | Burnley have broken their transfer record to sign midfielder Robbie Brady from Norwich City for a fee that could reach £13m.

Umar Balogun, 16, of Waltham Forest, London. died at Bawsey Pits, near King's Lynn, Norfolk, on 16 July 2013.
The inquest heard that Umar had been tagged under a court order and was being cared for at a Castle Homes' centre in Cambridgeshire.
Umar and another boy had been taken to Bawsey by two care home workers.
Senior residential care worker Sue Neve told the inquest jury that one of the care home workers, Kevin Roweth, suggested the visit to Bawsey.
She said Mr Roweth had said the trip would be a "hiking" trip and no mention was made of swimming.
"When Kevin described the area to me, he did not mention swimming there," said Mrs Neve.
She said Umar was carrying a red towel when he left. "I asked him why he was taking it. He just flicked it and walked out of the door," said Mrs Neve.
Mr Roweth is expected to give evidence on Tuesday. The inquest is due to finish on Friday.
When Umar went missing, a major search and rescue operation was started by the emergency services.
A post-mortem examination carried out on Umar confirmed the cause of death as drowning.

The Republican sought to laugh off the comment, which was preceded by the supporter saying: "We have a problem in this country - it's called Muslims".
The comments were made at a campaign rally for Mr Trump in New Hampshire.
Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton said his failure to denounce "hateful rhetoric" was "disturbing and wrong".
Pointing to his first questioner at the campaign event in Rochester, the billionaire businessman said: "I like this guy."
"We have a problem in this country called Muslims," the man said. "We know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."
"We need this question?" Mr Trump said, laughing.
"But anyway," the man continued, "we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"
Mr Trump failed to clarify that Mr Obama is a Christian American, instead replying that "bad things are happening" and saying he would look into them.
Mrs Clinton joined criticism of Mr Trump on social media, tweeting: "Donald Trump not denouncing false statements about POTUS & hateful rhetoric about Muslims is disturbing & just plain wrong. Cut it out."
In a statement, Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Mr Trump's "racism knows no bounds".
Mr Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski sought to play down the incident, telling US media that "all he heard was a question about training camps".
"The media wants to make this issue about Obama. The bigger issue is that Obama is waging a war against Christians in this country," Mr Lewandowski told the Washington Post.
The incident evoked a moment during the 2008 campaign when Republican nominee John McCain took the microphone away from a woman who said she did not trust Mr Obama because he was "an Arab".
President Obama, who has spoken openly about his Christian faith, was born to an American mother and Kenyan father in Hawaii.
But Mr Trump has been one of the leading sceptics, challenging Mr Obama in 2011 to produce his birth certificate to disprove rumours that he was born in Kenya, which the president did.
With more than a year until polling day, the businessman is ahead of his Republican rivals in the polls despite having no political experience.

Most fans came from the Republic of Ireland (121,000), with Norway (93,000), Sweden (58,000) and the United States (53,000) next.
Old Trafford and Arsenal's Emirates Stadium were the most popular venues, both receiving 109,000 visits each.
Premier League chief Richard Scudamore said the rise was "very encouraging".

However, football supporters groups said the figures, released by tourism body Visit Britain, underlined concerns they have about the make-up of fans in stadiums, ticket prices and club identity.
The last time Visit Britain - which has a partnership with the Premier League to encourage visitors to come to Britain and see a live match - published figures was in 2010, when 50,000 fewer fans attended games.
The Norwegian branch of the Liverpool Supporters' Club estimates that for big games, up to 1,500 Norwegians descend on Anfield.
The Premier League is already a huge global brand with an estimated 1.2bn fans worldwide and overseas TV rights expected to exceed the £2bn which was paid for the last deal running from the 2016-17 season.
The research shows that fans want to experience that excitement in person, which in turn is boosting the British economy.
Visit Britain says it is targeting key markets across the globe through its 'Football is Great' campaign, which includes a video from Manchester United assistant manager Ryan Giggs on the ease of travelling around the country.
And from a financial point of view, it appears to be paying off.
The 800,000 overseas fans who watched football in Britain last year spent £684m collectively, up £89m since 2010. On average they were likely to spend £855 per visit, considerably higher than those who chose not to watch football at £628.
Football also appears to be a good way of encouraging visitors to Britain in winter months while the football season continues, with 31% of visitors from January to March taking in matches, compared with 19% in July to September.
Almost three quarters (73%) of visitors who gave their primary journey purpose as watching sport said they had attended a football match.
Manchester taxi drivers will tell you how much busier they are on match days when Manchester United are at home, and it is clear that football is a big attraction to the area.
Ten percent of visitors to the North West of England, which is also the home of Manchester City and Liverpool, head to the region to watch football, compared to 5.6% in the north-east and just 1.3 in the south-east.
Tourism minister Tracey Crouch said: "It's fantastic to see the positive role football is playing in showcasing key destinations in many different regions of the UK."
Tore Hansen is the chief executive of the official Norway branch of the Liverpool Supporters' Club and has been travelling to Anfield for the past 30 years.
He says the love affair started in the 1960s when many Norwegians adopted English teams as a result of games being screened on TV. He also believes the numerous flight routes to Britain have made it easier for fans to travel.
"It's been building for many years," he told BBC Sport. "One of the reasons was because the standard of football in Norway wasn't that great. British football has always been popular in Norway and it's also a nice country to visit."
So popular in fact, that the clamour for tickets has increased at Anfield, a stadium which holds 45,500 fans and is dwarfed by the 60,000 capacity at Emirates Stadium and 75,700 at Old Trafford.
Hansen, 48, says that some Norwegian fans end up buying from season ticket holders, with some choosing to sell their seats every week. He also says there are many examples of fans paying for tickets on the internet, never to see them in person.
"The demand is massive and it's a shame it's gone that way, especially for local people in Liverpool," he added.
The Premier League says that stadiums were at 96% capacity last season.
Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) vice-chairman Sean Bones says there needs to be equilibrium between welcoming overseas fans and maintaining the club's heritage.
Asked whether a local or overseas supporter was considered more important by clubs, he said: "Manchester United has been built by generations of local support and we deserve that recognition. It's a question of balance, the fact we are so attractive to tourists is because of our history."
Bones also has concerns about the demand for tickets increasing prices. A BBC study found that the average price of cheapest tickets in England has increased by 13% since 2011, with the Football Supporters' Federation calling for clubs to reduce their cost.
Bones told BBC Sport: "It's good for the country when additional funds come into the economy but we need clubs to reward the long-term loyalty of our supporters."
As for whether overseas fans contribute to subdued atmospheres at Old Trafford, Bones says: "That's probably more to do with all-seater stadiums."
The top-10 largest markets for overseas visitors to British football are limited to European countries, the US and Australia.
But Visit Britain believes that the growth of the Premier League's appeal in Asia means the established order may not remain for long.
"The London 2012 Olympics put Britain on the map as the home of sport, and obviously football is a global draw," says Patricia Yates from Visit Britain.
"It's interesting to see the strong appeal it has in new-growth markets like China, Hong Kong and Indonesia where those new out-bound travellers tend to be younger and affluent. They have the same loyalty to their clubs as British fans and they want to come and see them play in the stadium."
Like Bones, Yates believes there needs to be a balance between local and overseas supporters but argues that foreign fans "add to the flavour of the match".
As for overseas football visitors reaching the 1m mark, do not expect Visit Britain to halt its use of the Premier League as key marketing tool.
"In 2014, we saw 35m people come to Britain where they spent £22bn, and we plan to grow that to 40m by 2020," Yates added. "So we have ambitious targets and we will continue to use football as a major draw to this country."

The ruling, which could have UK-wide legal implications, was described as "a victory for children".
Siobhan McLaughlin took the case with the help of the advice charity.
The judge said denying a benefit aimed at easing financial pressure on bereaved families was discrimination.
Ms McLaughlin, from County Antrim, challenged Northern Ireland's Department for Social Development's decision to refuse her both bereavement benefit and widowed parent's allowance.
Her claims were turned down because she was neither married nor in a civil partnership at the time of her partner's death in 2014.
They had been together for 23 years.
At the High Court sitting in Belfast, Mr Justice Treacy rejected her claim for the bereavement payment made at the point of death, on the grounds that a parent cannot invoke the rights of marriage after death.
But he said there was no justification in denying a benefit granted due to parentage and co-raising of children.
Pól Callaghan from the Citizens Advice Bureau who supported Ms McLaughlin's case said the ruling was "ground breaking" and its implications would be felt across the UK.
He said it was the first time a partner in a relationship had received benefits that would previously have been reserved for a married spouse.
"Siobhan stood up and said it was not fair that her children were being discriminated against on the basis of a decision that she and her partner had taken," he told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster.
"This is a case where the judge here has pushed the boundaries of the law for a family.
"This could have massive implications for families and for children.
"This landmark ruling will benefit children, not just in Northern Ireland, but across the UK."
Mr Callaghan said that, if a child lost a parent shortly after birth, the support received could amount to up to £105,000.
The payment - which is currently £112.55 a week in Northern Ireland - could "really help alleviate hardship", he said.

Neither IS nor its Egyptian affiliate, which calls itself Sinai Province, is thought to possess missiles capable of hitting an airliner at cruising altitude, and neither has a track record of aviation attacks.
But five days on from the crash, which killed all 224 people on board shortly after take-off from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, David Cameron has said it is "more likely than not a terrorist bomb" brought down the plane, and the UK has grounded flights from the resort.
British military officials are now on their way to Egypt and security at Sharm el-Sheikh airport is under intense scrutiny. Julian Bray, an aviation security analyst, told the BBC it is "highly probable" that even a relatively unsophisticated terror group could get a bomb on to a jet leaving the resort.
"It is unlikely a passenger would be able to carry it on board the aircraft, but it is quite likely it could have been taken into somewhere like the cargo shed and then into a container in the plane," he said.
"All passenger aircraft nowadays carry cargo as well, which often comes as a complete sealed unit, and the concern is that at airports like Sharm security is lax around cargo.
"A lot of the airports in the Far East and Middle East are running on a shoestring and they have to turn round aircraft and cargo as fast as possible.
"That leads to skimping on security procedures."
Sinai plane crash: Four theories
Sinai Province: Egypt's most dangerous group
Egypt has criticised suggestions that a bomb was involved in the crash. Civil Aviation Minister Hossam Kamal said the country's airports all comply with international security standards.
Investigators are yet to reveal any information from the aircraft's black box recorders and there is no concrete evidence of a bomb attack.
US media reported on Tuesday that a military satellite detected a "heat flash" over Sinai at the time of the crash, suggesting an explosion, but officials said they have not ruled out a technical malfunction.
On Wednesday, Sinai Province, which first emerged as jihadist group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis - or Champions of Jerusalem - in 2011, reiterated its claim of responsibility in an audio recording circulated on social media, but refused to give any details about the method used.
"We brought it down by God's help, but we are under no obligation to reveal the mechanism we used," the statement said. "So search the wreckage of the plane, and find your black box and analyse it."
The data retrieved from the black boxes may reveal whether a bomb was involved. If Sinai Province's claim is corroborated, it will be the first IS attack against a passenger aircraft - a grisly milestone for the terror organisation.
Spectacular attacks against civilian targets - especially planes - have so far been the preserve of IS's much older rival, al-Qaeda, which was behind 9/11.
AQAP, al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen, claimed responsibility for two bombs discovered unexploded on cargo planes in 2010 - one in London and one in Dubai. The 300-400g devices - large enough to bring down a plane - were hidden in printer cartridges aboard cargo flights from Yemen.
Both packages were destined for Chicago and timed using mobile phones to detonate over the US mainland.
And in 2010, the CIA said it had foiled a plot by AQAP to smuggle a technically advanced bomb on board an airliner bound for the United States.
By contrast, IS has so far focused on taking land and hostages, and inspiring lone wolf attacks in other parts of the world rather than planning its own sophisticated operations.
Many analysts have been waiting for a high-profile terror attack by IS, according to Dr HA Hellyer, a Middle East expert with the Royal United Services Institute. But the scale of the Metrojet attack would nonetheless be a surprise, he said.
"I don't think anybody expected an attack on a plane, maybe on a hotel or a kidnapping ... but nobody expected something this large," he said.
"I don't think it will surprise anyone such a radical and extremist group has targeted civilians, but certainly the nature of this attack is very dramatic."
If the attack is confirmed it would be a significant propaganda coup for IS, according to Dr Hellyer. "It would mean that they've taken out a huge number of civilians at once, and struck a blow against two of their enemies at once, Russia and Egypt."
And it will remain a success of sorts for IS even if investigators rule that the plane was brought down by a technical fault, he said.
"If it turns out that they didn't do it, that is still a victory in a sense. We are having this conversation now. They have managed to dominate the discussion, and that in itself is a communications victory." | When an Islamic State affiliate in Egypt claimed responsibility for the downing of a Russian airliner on Saturday, analysts were initially sceptical about the group's ability to bring down a passenger jet. | 34,730,909 | 1,081 | 44 | false |
The result eases the pressure on the visitors' manager Gary Locke, but heaps more on United boss Jackie McNamara.
A Kallum Higginbotham penalty had put Killie in front before Billy McKay equalised with a spot-kick of his own.
But debutant Kevin McHattie fired a tremendous long-range winner to stun the home support.
United had bombarded the Kilmarnock goal in the second half, only to find Jamie MacDonald in inspirational form.
The goalkeeper produced outstanding saves to keep out McKay and Ryan Dow as they pressed for the winner.
He was mobbed by his team-mates at full-time as they acknowledged the role he played in the victory.
It was clinched, though, by an unlikely hero in McHattie, the full-back rifling in a low shot past Luis Zwick.
United will feel hard done by, having dragged themselves back into the match, but their profligacy in front of goal was their undoing.
They found themselves behind initially when Rory McKenzie nipped in in front of United captain Sean Dillon, who reacted slowly, catching the Kilmarnock winger and prompting referee Brian Colvin to point to the spot.
Higginbotham sent Zwick the wrong way with an expertly-taken penalty, high into the United net to give his side a half-time advantage.
If there were few arguments about that award, the equaliser came in more controversial circumstances.
Blair Spittal fired a volley goalwards, Lee Ashcroft threw himself in the way of the shot, with the ball coming off his arm.
Despite his protestations, Ashcroft's handball was deemed deliberate by referee Brian Colvin and McKay slotted the penalty down the middle to level the scoring - his first goal for United.
As United swarmed forward, there seemed likely to be only one winner, but that did not allow for the performance of MacDonald and the late cameo from McHattie.
Tim Brown, a volunteer rescue swimmer from Lagan Search and Rescue, has just returned from the Aegean Sea where he spent two-and-a-half weeks saving a total of 94 people.
He worked alongside people from 12 countries on a mission with Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), a charity rescuing migrants and refugees in trouble at sea.
The mission came out of a collaboration between Lagan Search and Rescue and MOAS.
When Mr Brown was first approached with the idea of being sent out to the Aegean Sea, he was initially hesitant when he found out he would miss out on Christmas and New Years at home.
"It's a time of year when your extended family get together maybe once or twice a year at most," he said.
"So it was a pity in some ways but at the end of the day I just thought why would I turn down the opportunity to save lives?"
More than a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe in 2015, sparking a political crisis on the continent.
Mr Brown said he was unaware of the full scale of the mission in the Aegean Sea.
"Before I went, I kind of looked at the map and thought, 'it's this little region here and we could patrol it quite easily,'" he said.
"But then I realised how vast it was when I was out there.
"It would nearly be impossible to patrol that whole region unless you had a massive fleet of ships."
The relationship between rescuers and the migrants and refugees onboard is a complex one.
"I didn't get to talk to the refugees too much," Mr Brown said.
"In some ways you need to maintain some sort of formality to control so many people on board.
"I got talking to some couples about where they were coming from.
"They were saying how dangerous the sea was but it wasn't as dangerous as the country they came from."
One of the most confronting aspects about the mission, Mr Brown said, was coming face to face with migrant and refugee children.
"Our last rescue that I was involved with, what really stood out to see such young children, a few months old, toddlers, all ages, being injured," he said.
"Head injuries, hypothermia and then also unfortunately, one of the toddlers was two years old and had died at sea and we had to recover his body.
"Just to see the child being put into the coffin and the coffin being carried off into a hearse, it really hits home what does happen there."
"Sometimes you hear numbers, but then you see face to face a child that has drowned at sea. And then you speak to the mother.
"I think the mother was still in shock when I was speaking to her and it's pretty tough to see that face-to-face and that's something that stands out."
Mr Brown prepared for the deployment in the Aegean Sea after a year of training and experience with Lagan Search and Rescue.
Part of the benefit of the exchange he said, was the experience and skills he could bring back to Northern Ireland.
While he was physically prepared for the mission, he said it was emotionally taxing.
"People did tell me it would be physically taxing," Mr Brown said.
"But being emotionally demanding was the main part.
"We could only take injured on board at the time. Authorities wouldn't let us take anyone else."
What is Mr Brown's take on the refugee and migrant crisis after taking part in the mission?
"The mission was primarily that we're assisting people fleeing from acts of war" he said.
"They're really refugees and not migrants. If you look at these pictures it's just impossible not to have compassion for these families. Especially first hand."
"They're forced to make that perilous journey and they're risking it for all the freedom that we have, that we take for granted."
"At the end of the day, the ethos for search and rescue, there are no borders," he said.
"Whether we're in the Lagan river or the eastern Aegean, no one deserves to die at sea."
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.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) said millions of pounds of investment had reduced pollution and restored habitats.
The work has also put an end to the Clyde's "stench", Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said.
Water quality has gone from "bad" to "moderate" - and "excellent" in places.
About 100km (62 miles) of waterways has also been opened up to migratory fish.
Sepa, which monitors the water quality of Scotland's lochs and rivers, reported that the River Clyde was in "significantly better health than expected".
Between 2010 and 2021, Scottish Water will have invested more than £600m in wastewater treatment works and sewerage systems in the area.
And the Scottish government's Water Environment Fund has helped restore habitats by removing fish barriers and concrete channels.
This has allowed salmon to access the upper reaches of the Clyde catchment.
The fund has spent £3.1m on river restoration projects near Hamilton and Shotts, with more investment planned this year.
Scottish Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: "The Clyde flows through the very heart of Glasgow and for centuries the river has provided our largest city with a gateway to the world and a source of prosperity.
"However, since industrialisation in the early 1800s, we've abused this river, tipping our waste into it without a second thought for the impact it has on the communities living along the banks, water quality or the wider environment.
"That's why I am delighted to see further evidence that we have secured a lasting change in the Clyde's fortunes."
Ms Cunningham added: "That hard work and investment has seen water quality improve, aquatic species return to the waters, and an end to the stench which once made residents' lives a misery."
The 176km (109 mile)-long Clyde is the eighth longest river in the UK and the second longest in Scotland.
Its source is in the Lowther Hills in South Lanarkshire, with its catchment area stretching as far north as Crianlarich in Stirling.
The river's mouth is the Firth of Clyde.
Bob Downes, Sepa chairman, said: "The work we have completed so far with our many partners has made a significant difference to the Clyde, not only through improvements to water quality, but also by opening up stretches of rivers that migratory fish have been unable to access for decades.
"Having a healthier River Clyde system is a real benefit to people living in Glasgow. We need to ensure that our rivers are in as good a condition as they can be, providing a healthy environment and contributing to everyone's well-being.
"There's still a lot of work to be done, but seeing the results of the hard work that has already happened is very rewarding and encouraging."

Notably, he has at times stepped out from behind the lens and helped the people he saw in difficulty.
One photograph that won him acclaim on social media was not taken by him but by a witness, who saw him carrying a refugee child to safety from the sea.
Mr Messinis said there was no conflict of interest between photographing and rescuing and it was a "normal human reflex".
"We try to keep our distance, to be objective," he said.
"But sometimes it is good to lend a hand to somebody who needs a hand. It is a personal decision."
The work is on display in Perpignan in southern France.
The Visa d'Or for news is considered the most prestigious award handed out at the Visa Pour L'Image festival.
At one point, 7,000 migrants a day were arriving on Lesbos - and many who tried to make the journey died at sea.
In 2016 a deal between Turkey and the EU saw seaborne migrants being returned to Turkey in exchange for Syrian refugees who had applied through official channels.
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.
Troy Paul was attacked at about 13:00 BST on Saturday in the Kingstanding area of the city.

The boy has been remanded in custody until a plea hearing on 25 September.
The trial is expected to begin on 2 January 2018 and to last three weeks.
The project, which has planning for an initial 100 houses, will probably take 10 years to complete.
Housebuilders in Northern Ireland are beginning major schemes for the first time since the property crash.
Last month, Lagan Homes said it would build 550 houses on two sites in Bangor, County Down.
Work is also due to restart soon at the Readers Park development in Ballyclare, County Antrim, which was bought by the Neptune Group last year.
The Fraser Houses scheme, to be called Rivenwood, is on the Movilla Road on the eastern side of Newtownards.
Construction is due to start in the summer, with the first houses ready to move into in late 2016.
The developer said it represents an investment of about £200m and will be the largest housing scheme to have started in the last 10 years.
However, in previous years there has been strong opposition to plans for additional housing in the area from existing residents.
Theo Allen, a former chair of Movilla Residents' Association, told the BBC there were more than 3,000 objections to an earlier plan for 100 homes on the site, which was rejected by the Planning Appeals Commission in 2006.
Mr Allen questioned if the local infrastructure could cope with 100 new homes, never mind 1,000.
Private house building in Northern Ireland collapsed when a house price bubble burst in 2007/08.
Official figures show just over 4,500 private housing units were completed in 2014/15.
That compares to more than 16,500 completions in 2005/06.
Mr Abadi, who flew in by helicopter, praised commanders and toured the badly damaged city. Earlier, he had vowed IS would be eliminated from Iraq in 2016.
Mr Abadi said recapturing Iraq's second city Mosul would be the "final blow".
Reports from Ramadi say the centre of the city appears calm, but sporadic clashes are reported in some areas.
Engineering teams are clearing bombs from streets and buildings.
The retaking of the city was welcomed by US Secretary of State John Kerry, who said IS had suffered a major blow.
Pentagon spokesman Steve Warren said some 400 civilians were being looked after by Iraqi security forces in the city centre.
He said it was too early to say where other civilians had gone but added that much of the city still needed to be cleared. No estimate of civilian casualties has been provided.
The capture in May of Ramadi, the capital of the province of Anbar which lies about 90km (55 miles) west of Baghdad, was an embarrassing defeat for the Iraqi army.
Iraqi government forces have been fighting to retake the city for weeks.
With the Ramadi operation beginning to wind down, IS knows that the main event - the battle for Mosul - will now begin.
IS could try another diversionary attack, but the Iraqi and Syrian forces are now better prepared and supported with air power from the US-led coalition.
The slow preparatory phases of the battle for Mosul is likely to unfold in the first half of 2016.
First, the next IS defensive bulwarks will be ground down - the oil-refining hub Qayyarah and other Tigris River valley towns south of Mosul.
Then the city will be slowly encircled in the summer, and air strikes will intensify on IS leadership and logistical targets. Then the assault will begin once the summer heat dies down in the autumn of 2016.

Army spokesman Brig Gen Yahya Rasul said Ramadi had been "liberated" in an "epic" victory.
Iraqi officials gave no immediate death toll from the battle, but Colonel Warren said the coalition estimated casualties on the Iraqi government side were in the low double digits.
Mr Kerry congratulated Iraqi forces for "displaying tremendous perseverance and courage".
"While Ramadi is not yet fully secure and additional parts of the city still must be retaken, Iraq's national flag now flies above the provincial government centre and enemy forces have suffered a major defeat," he said.
No US ground forces were used in the battle for Ramadi, the Pentagon says.
Middle East press reaction to the retaking of Ramadi ranges from hope that this development marks a turning point in the struggle against IS to reminders that the group has yet to be dislodged from other parts of the country.
Iraqi pro-Shia newspaper al-Adalah says: "The huge victories that were achieved by security forces indicate that the end of terrorism is imminent."
Jordan's pro-government daily al-Rai writes: "The battle of Ramadi is not over. We still have to liberate Mosul."
Saudi-owned London-based al-Hayat says: "Iraqi troops have entered Ramadi and Islamic State gunmen have retreated. But its liberation will not be the end of the crisis. In order to return to normal life, there are political struggles to be resolved, as well as expected tribal vendettas and the challenges of rebuilding."
They were spotted taking families with them, though it remains unclear if they are the militants' own families, Colonel Warren said.
Brig Gen Majid al-Fatlawi, of the army's 8th division, told AFP news agency that IS fighters had "planted more than 300 explosive devices on the roads and in the buildings of the government complex".
In the fight for Ramadi, the government chose not to deploy the powerful Shia-dominated paramilitary force that helped it regain the mainly Sunni northern city of Tikrit, to avoid increasing sectarian tensions.
The 20-year-old, the son of former Hammers, Newcastle and England midfielder Rob Lee, had a loan spell at Luton's League Two rivals Southend United earlier this season.
But he was injured just 95 minutes into a training session with the Shrimpers and returned to Upton Park.
Lee has made two substitute appearances for West Ham and was on loan at Colchester United last season.
Southend boss Phil Brown had wanted Lee to return to Roots Hall, but he has instead joined their fellow promotion contenders.
Secretly recorded footage showed chickens being dismembered, flung around and used for violent sex acts at Elite Farm Services.
Elite told CTV that it has since fired several several employees.
The SPCA in the province of British Columbia said those behind the alleged cruelty would be held accountable.
Rights group Mercy for Animals filmed the video from 10 May to 9 June.
"The images in this video are absolutely sickening and the individual employees and the companies involved need to be held accountable," said Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the British Columbian (BC) SPCA, in a statement.
Elite Farm Services were not immediately available for comment to the BBC.
In a statement to CTV news, the company said they will also conduct an internal review of all guidelines, practices and training.
"We are sickened with the footage and want to ensure all our suppliers and producers that this is not reflective of who we are, our fundamental beliefs or behavior we accept from our employees," Elite president Dwayne Dueck said in a statement Tuesday.
The company was hired by Sofina Foods Inc to go to farms around the province, catch broiler chickens and transport them to slaughter. Sofina sells chicken products to Loblaws, one of Canada's largest grocery chains.
"We are appalled and extremely shocked by the video footage we saw," Sofina said in a statement.
"Ethical and responsible treatment of animals is of utmost importance to our organization."
The company said it was working with Elite Farms to conduct an investigation and would take immediate action.
Ms Moriarty said the SPCA received the video from Mercy for Animals and would be filing a report as soon as possible.
The BC SPCA, a non-profit organisation, is legally empowered to investigate alleged animal cruelty and recommend charges to prosecutors.
"The video includes some of the most brutal and sadistic acts of violence against animals I have ever seen," said Ms Moriarty.
"It is extremely difficult to watch."
The allegations have not been proven in court.
If convicted, the individuals and companies involved face a fine up to $75,000, a maximum five-year jail sentence and up to a lifetime ban on owning or being around animals.
The Spain international was charged by the Football Association on Wednesday over the incident.
He is being charged for the first of two alleged stamps that were not seen at the time by referee Michael Oliver.
Costa also appeared to stand on central defender Martin Skrtel in the Liverpool penalty box in the second half.
The first-half incident involving Can took place close to the technical area and prompted an angry response from the Liverpool player.
The disciplinary case is now set to be heard by an independent regulatory commission on Friday, which will make a final ruling over whether Costa must serve the suspension for his charge.

Should the forward be found guilty, the first of a three-match ban would come in Chelsea's top-of-the-table clash against Manchester City on Saturday.
It is understood Costa is appealing with the full backing of Chelsea.
Chelsea cancelled their pre-match news conference for the game against City on Thursday afternoon.
Costa could also miss games against Aston Villa and Everton.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said after the League Cup semi-final: "He could easily hurdle over the young player and he directs his studs right on to his ankle, which could have been nasty."

The goalkeeper becomes Appleton's first summer signing following their promotion to League One.
Eastwood signed a new two-year deal at Ewood Park in 2014 but he failed to make a single Blackburn appearance during 2015-16.

It's caused chaos to cities up and down the region.
Millions of people have been affected.
And some children in America have been sending us special reports on what they've been doing in the snowy conditions.
The monarch said the UK had "witnessed a succession of terrible tragedies"
Her message comes as residents caught up in the Grenfell Tower fire which killed at least 30 people, condemned the "chaotic" relief effort.
Some say they no longer want Kensington and Chelsea council involved in any way.
The statement from the Queen on her official birthday came after Prime Minister Theresa May pledged to "get to the bottom" of the west London tower block fire.
Mrs May was jeered when she visited the North Kensington estate on Friday, and is facing mounting criticism for her response to the disaster.
She is now meeting victims, volunteers and community leaders in Downing Street, while hundreds of protesters have gathered in Whitehall, calling for her resignation.
The Queen and Duke of Cambridge had earlier met volunteers, residents and community representatives during a visit to the Westway Sports Centre.
She also visited some of those injured in hospital following the bomb at Manchester Arena little under a month ago.
In an unprecedented statement, the Queen said she had been "profoundly struck by the immediate inclination of people throughout the country to offer comfort and support to those in desperate need".
"Put to the test, the United Kingdom has been resolute in the face of adversity," she said.
"United in our sadness, we are equally determined, without fear or favour, to support all those rebuilding lives so horribly affected by injury and loss."
A rallying cry for unity
By Peter Hunt, BBC royal correspondent
In a long reign, the Queen has issued countless statements. They can sometimes be formulaic and lack the ability to resonate.
This is not one of them.
After the attacks in Manchester and London, the Queen - and more importantly her senior advisers - have grasped quickly that the reaction to the Grenfell Tower fire has not just been one of shock and grief.
There's also intense anger. It has been focused on the divide between rich and poor and it has been directed at an establishment that includes the monarchy, though the institution itself has not been the subject of criticism.
In such circumstances, as Head of Nation - a focal point at times of tragedy - the Queen has decided she cannot remain silent.
She, and those around her, will be acutely aware of the potential for growing disquiet in the days ahead.
And so, a 91-year-old monarch with little concrete power but considerable patronage and status, has decided to act.
This is a regal rallying call for unity.
The fire broke out at the 24-storey block, which contained 120 one and two-bedroom flats, shortly before 01:00 BST on Wednesday.
It tore through all floors of the building and took more than 200 firefighters 24 hours to bring it under control.
Cladding installed on the tower during a refurbishment in 2015 had a polyethylene - or plastic - core instead of an even more fireproof alternative, the BBC's Newsnight understands.
The Department for Communities and Local Government said that cladding made up of aluminium panels over a polyethylene core "would be non-compliant with current Building Regulations guidance" and should not be used on buildings taller than 18m.
It said it could not comment on the type of cladding used on Grenfell Tower. That would be subject to investigations, it said.
Protests were held in London on Friday as residents demanded more support for those affected by the fire.
Between 50 and 60 people stormed Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall, as members of the public said the homeless needed help "right now".
There were also angry scenes outside the Clement James Centre, in North Kensington.
Dozens of demonstrators surged towards the entrance and scuffles broke out outside as organisers appealed for calm.
The BBC's Matthew Price said locals had told him they wanted the prime minister to remove Kensington and Chelsea council from the relief effort.
He said senior members of the residents' association described an "absolute chaos" of "no organisation" from officials.
He added: "They do not believe they are capable of managing the response. Such is the total and utter lack of trust."
Reverend Mike Long, from Notting Hill Methodist Church, told BBC Radio 4's Today that people in the community were furious.
"People are incredibly angry, they're bewildered, they're confused, they have lots and lots of questions," he said.
"They feel they're not being listened to and what they have been saying has not been listened to, and they don't know how to be able to express those things at the moment."
Mrs May has faced criticism for not meeting survivors in the immediate aftermath, unlike Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
Mr Corbyn has called for empty local homes to be requisitioned if necessary.
The prime minister has committed £5m for clothes, food and emergency supplies but was heckled with chants of "coward" after meeting survivors of the fire on Friday.
First Secretary of State Damian Green has defended her, saying the criticism was "unfair" and she was "as distraught as all of us".
The £5m Grenfell Tower Residents' Discretionary Fund includes the aim to re-house residents within three weeks as close to where they lived before as possible, to pay for temporary housing in the meantime and to provide extra financial assistance.
On Friday night, hundreds of mourners stood arm in arm at a vigil and held a two-minute silence for victims of the fire.
Many wept openly as candles illuminated the road outside the Latymer Christian Centre, yards from the site of the blaze.
It came after emergency services spent a third day searching for bodies in the burnt-out tower in North Kensington.
In latest developments:
The Confederation of Fire Protection Associations-International - a global body of fire protection organisations - said the speed at which the fire spread at Grenfell Tower was "eerily similar" to other high-rise fires in Australia and the United Arab Emirates.
It said it was "deeply concerned" that there were many high-rise buildings around the world with flammable materials installed.
So far in the investigation:

Det Con Peter Surgay was a family liaison officer following the murder of Clifford Collinge in 2011.
The panel was told Mr Surgay had been in a "volatile" on-off relationship with Deborah Bell since 2009.
The hearing was adjourned until 10 August.
The pair's relationship had been kept secret as Mr Surgay's wife also served with Nottinghamshire Police, the misconduct panel heard.
Ms Bell went on to act as a solicitor for Stephen Shreeves - one of three accused of the murder of Mr Collinge.
Shreeves is currently serving a life sentence after being found guilty of murder. Widow Charlotte Collinge was acquitted following a retrial.
Mr Surgay, 42, who has served with the force for nearly 19 years, is accused of failing to report the nature of the relationship which, it has been argued, could have potentially compromised a major investigation.
Mr Surgay said the relationship was largely platonic, save for a "drunken fumble" early on.
Force solicitor David Ring said this was inconsistent with the account of Ms Bell, who said the pair were intimate over a period spanning years.
Mr Ring said Mr Surgay made no mention of trips he took with Ms Bell to California, Dublin and Germany when questioned by the force's professional standards department.
He said: "You deliberately downplay the nature of your relationship in interview." Mr Surgay replied: "I dispute that."
Mr Surgay added: "It was not something I wanted to shout from the rooftops. There's enough rumour and rapture in the police force as it is."
The officer added he was not aware his relationship with Ms Bell should have been brought to the attention of senior officers and the couple only spoke of the Collinge case in the "broadest of terms".
Mr Ring said the officer would have been removed from his role in the case had the nature of the relationship come to light, adding it was "common sense" he should have disclosed it.
Mr Surgay is also facing a further allegation of misusing police systems over "an extended period of time" in searching for crimes in and around his home area of Kimberley.
The incidents included one where a car registered in his name was reported for making off from a petrol station without paying - knowing as "bilking".
The officer said the searches were made for policing purposes and that he was "aghast" when he saw the alleged bilking incident.
The hearing continues.
Four men, including multi-millionaire businessman Lord Ballyedmond, 70, died in the crash in Gillingham, Norfolk, on 13 March 2014.
The inquest was told it might not be possible to access black box audio.
Investigator Tim Atkinson said inquiries would need to be made to find out if the material still existed.
The uncertainty over the data came to light after Norfolk Coroner Jacqueline Lake asked for more information from audio recordings to be made available to lawyers representing the men who died.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch will now try to establish if the material still exists before an application is made to the High Court to allow it to be heard by the lawyers and coroner.
The Agusta AW139 G-LBAL helicopter came down in "dense fog" that left visibility down to "tens of metres", an Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) report found.
Lord Ballyedmond founded an international pharmaceutical firm in Newry, County Down, and later became a Tory peer. He was one of the richest people in Northern Ireland.
The pilots, 36-year-old Capt Carl Dickerson, and Capt Lee Hoyle, 45, were killed instantly along with Lord Ballyedmond's 42-year-old foreman, Declan Small, from Mayobridge, County Down.
The AAIB report found the pilots had expressed concern about flying in the fog.
It said the take-off, Lord Ballyedmond's Gillingham Hall estate, would not have been allowed from a licensed aerodrome.
A full inquest is due to take place in January.
The eight women and four men were handed sentences of between five months and six years by a court in Shiraz, a lawyer told the Ilna news agency.
They were also banned from working in fashion and travelling abroad for two years afterwards, Mahmoud Taravat said.
He added that his clients had denied the charges and planned to appeal.
The 12 were convicted of charges including spreading prostitution and promoting corruption via the publication of obscene images online, inciting Muslims to corrupt themselves through putting on fashion shows, and spreading a "Western-style culture of nudity".
They were not named by Mr Taravat in his interview with Ilna.
But he said they included a man given a six-year sentence and banned from working in journalism or government service for two years following his release; a woman and a man jailed for five years and banned from working in fashion design; and a man jailed for two years and banned from working in photography.
Iran's judiciary launched a crackdown on "un-Islamic" behaviour by fashion models earlier this year.
In May, the prosecutor of Tehran's cybercrimes court announced the arrest of eight people involved in posting photographs of women without headscarves on social media. Iranian law requires that all women cover their hair in public.
They were among 170 models, photographers, make-up artists, salon managers and designers identified as being involved in online modelling.
Substitute Rooney curled in from the left-hand corner of the penalty box for his 250th United goal, one more than Sir Bobby Charlton.
Stoke looked set for a third straight Premier League win, clinging to a lead given to them when Juan Mata poked Erik Pieters' cross into his own net.
United wasted chances, hit the woodwork and were denied by Potters keeper Lee Grant.
But their 25th and final effort at goal preserved a 17-game unbeaten run, albeit if the dropped points mean they lose ground in the race for the top four.
They are three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal and 11 off leaders Chelsea, who both play on Sunday.
Rooney, so often the fulcrum of the United side since joining from Everton as an 18-year-old in 2004, has had to make do with a bit-part role under Jose Mourinho this season.
Indeed, this 546th appearance came from the bench, but still delivered a moment of history.
United had been frustrated for so long by Stoke's stoic defence and their own wastefulness, and a free-kick awarded just outside the home penalty area looked to be the visitors' last chance as five minutes of added time ticked down.
Rooney, largely ineffective since joining the action, looked prime to cross, but instead arced a wonderful, dipping, right-footed shot inside the far post past the previously unbeatable Grant.
The 31-year-old, who surpassed Charlton's England scoring record in 2015, beat the club mark that had stood since 1973 and gave United a point that looked to have gone.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney: "It means a hell of a lot. It is a great honour and I am very proud. It is difficult at the minute to be over-pleased because of the result, but in the grand scheme it is huge honour.
"It is not something I expected when I joined. I am proud and I hope there is more to come.
"The players who have played for this club have been world class."

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: "The record is the record. It is the record of the biggest club in England and one of the biggest in the world. Before him the record belonged to a legend of English football. Now Wayne becomes a legend of Manchester United."
Former record-holder Sir Bobby Charlton: "I would be lying to say that I'm not disappointed to have lost the record.
"However, I can honestly say that I'm delighted for Wayne. He deserves his place in the history books.
"He is a true great for club and country, and it is fitting that he is now the highest goalscorer for both United and England."
Former Manchester United boss Sis Alex Ferguson: "Wayne thoroughly deserves his place in the history books of this great club and I am sure that he will go on to score many more goals.
"Well done Wayne, I am absolutely delighted for you, you have been a great servant to this club and long may it continue."
Stoke City manager and former Manchester United striker Mark Hughes: "It is an outstanding record and won't be surpassed. It has taken 40-odd years for Sir Bobby's record to be broken which shows how high a mark it was."
Rooney's intervention was all the more dramatic given the struggles of his team-mates on a bitter afternoon in the Potteries.
United had almost all of the play - 65% of the possession, 25 efforts on goal to Stoke's six, almost a third of the game was played in City's defensive third - and yet the visitors could barely find a way through.
Soon after deflecting into his own net, Mata dinked over from close range with the goal at his mercy, while Grant made excellent saves from Marouane Fellaini and Paul Pogba.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was strangely subdued and on more than one occasion he opted to pass when an effort on goal looked the better option.
An isolated figure in the first half, the former Sweden forward gained more support in the second - Marcus Rashford providing pace and incision down the left, fellow substitute Jesse Lingard hitting the top of the crossbar.
It all looked to count for nothing until Rooney's late moment of magic gave the visitors a point they totally deserved.
Despite the desperate disappointment of seeing victory snatched away, Stoke can take encouragement from further evidence of continued improvement.
As recently as 31 December, a five-game winless run had them only seven points above the relegation zone, but they have since won two and drawn one.
Conceding 32 in their first 19 matches, they have shipped only two in the past three - and on Saturday keeper Grant's brilliance was matched by Bruno Martins Indi, who put in a colossal performance at the heart of defence.
Though attacks were largely limited to counters, Marko Arnautovic created problems down the left and Peter Crouch was a handful for the United defence, despite playing a lone hand up front.
A day that began with new signing Saido Berahino being paraded on the pitch ultimately ended with a sucker punch, but realistically Stoke should see this as point gained rather than two dropped.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "We are disappointed but we need to pick ourselves up. We were within seconds of beating a very good Manchester United team.
"My only criticism to the guys is that we didn't keep the ball long enough. We are good enough to do that but we needed more care to get up the other end of the pitch.
"In the end we tried to protect what we had and I can't criticise what we did for the free kick."

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho: "It was a big game with two teams in the beginning trying to win. But after 25 minutes one team tried to win and the other tried to defend, which they did amazingly well.
"They showed great work-rate and did everything to try and stop us. We did everything well except in front of our target.
"We missed unbelievable chances. We hit the post, the keeper saves, we missed chances. The opposition goalkeepers are always amazing against us."

The letter from the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) said that many practices are struggling to recruit and retain family doctors.
It said urgent funding is needed to stop practices closing.
In December, hundreds of doctors signed undated resignation letters because of funding concerns and workforce strain.
A rescue package, which would have increased training places, was then agreed with the health minister.
However in the open letter the RCGP said that the current political deadlock at Stormont means plans to improve GP care have had to be put on hold.
The letter points to the "grave challenges and pressures facing the health and social care service in Northern Ireland".
"Patient waiting lists continue to grow, patient care is at risk and GP morale is plummeting," it said.
On Monday the chairman of the NI General Practitioners' Committee said Northern Ireland's GPs would likely vote to leave the NHS if a snap election is called.
Dr Tom Black said that recent weeks have "clearly shown that general practice here is on the edge of a full-blown crisis,".
"It is catastrophic," he added.
The letter comes after Bannview Medical Practice in Portadown faced closure after its last remaining doctor resigned. It has 5,200 patients on its books.
A new contractor, who is based in Belfast, had agreed to take over the practice, but that GP has now withdrawn from the contract.
Hasina Idris Mohamed, 52, was thought to be crossing Doncaster Road, near Clifton Park, when she was struck by a silver Ford Focus as it was travelling towards the town centre, at about 16:40 BST on Saturday.
She was pronounced dead at the scene, South Yorkshire Police said.
A 51-year-old man held on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Sgt Steve Askham said: "Our condolences are with Miss Mohamed's family at this sad time.
"While our investigation is in its early stages, at this time it does appear that there were no aggravating factors connected to this incident and we believe that this was a road traffic collision with tragic consequences.
"I'd ask that the public are considerate when posting about this incident on social media to prevent any further distress to Miss Mohamed's family."
The force said Miss Mohamed's family was receiving support from officers and it was appealing for any witnesses to contact them .
The attackers, who targeted the Swiss Inn hotel in provincial capital el-Arish, were all killed, they said.
Guards fired on an explosives-laden car, which blew up. But two attackers entered the hotel, killing a judge.
So-called Islamic State's local affiliate, Sinai Province, said it carried out the attack.
Twelve people were also wounded in the incident, a military statement said.
The three-pronged assault saw a car laden with explosives approach the entrance. Security guards opened fire and the vehicle blew up.
Separately two attackers entered the building, One detonated a suicide vest in the kitchen while the other opened fire in a room, killing the judge.
Judges who had been overseeing the second round of parliamentary elections in the area were among the guests in the heavily guarded hotel.
A military statement read: "This brutal incident is a failed attempt to hinder the state from building its institution but we assure all that it will increase the drive and insistence of the armed forces and the Interior Ministry to weed out the roots of terrorism in North Sinai."
Last month a Russian A321 airliner crashed in Sinai killing all 224 people on board. Russia said traces of explosives were found and called it an act of terror.
Sinai Province said in a statement on 31 October that it had destroyed the plane because of Russian air strikes in Syria.
Militants have been fighting the government for years in Sinai but the insurgency has increased since the removal of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Parisians Racing had Dan Carter at 10, but he was unable to take kicks at goal and went off injured after 42 minutes.
Saracens' Owen Farrell landed four first-half efforts, to two from Johan Goosen, to make it 12-6 at half-time.
Sarries dominated the second half and three more Farrell penalties ensured the title was heading back to London.
Saracens also became the first team in the competition's history to win all nine games in the tournament on their way to becoming champions.
The match was played in torrential rain in the first half and, although conditions eased after the break, the sodden pitch and greasy ball made handling a hazardous occupation.
It meant the side who made fewer mistakes, whose pack got on top and who played the game in the right areas of the park were always going to be the likely winners, and Saracens, beaten finalists two years ago, duly delivered this time round.
The north Londoners are the reigning English champions and they host Leicester next weekend in the Premiership semi-finals with a view to once again reaching the final this season and giving themselves the chance to add more silverware to the groaning shelves in their trophy cabinet.
The script could not have been better for Saracens, who have built their game around a territory and power-based style that was ideal for the conditions in the east of France.
The reigning English champions have broadened their approach this season but, with the rain hammering down and Racing looking to play a game based on power around the fringes, Saracens were happy to hammer them backwards in defence, pin them deep through the boots of Farrell and scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth, and profit from the French side's numerous mistakes.
Up front, England second rows Maro Itoje - still only 21 - and George Kruis continued their fine form this season and, with the whole pack refusing to give an inch, the front row won three penalties at scrum-time to help Farrell take them into a six-point lead at the break.
After guiding New Zealand to the World Cup last year Carter, 34, was looking to add European champion to his long list of accomplishments, but he was carrying a knee injury going into the game and struggled to make his mark.
With the leading points scorer in Test history unable to kick, it was left to Maxime Machenaud and Goosen to build Racing's score.
France scrum-half Machenaud missed an early penalty attempt and when he was forced off in the first half, to be joined immediately after the break by Carter, Racing's brains trust was on the bench, something that was no doubt a factor as they struggled to get a foothold in the game for long periods of the second half.
A lively 15-minute spell after the hour mark did give Goosen the chance to land his third kick and get them back within six points, but they never looked like winning.
Before the game former England and Lions centre Jeremy Guscott likened the two fly-halves to Jedi master Yoda and Luke Skywalker.
With Farrell's pack gaining the upper hand for long periods and his opposite number hobbled by injury, it was the young apprentice who was the stand-out fly-half in Lyon.
Four nerveless penalties in the first half gave Saracens control on the scoreboard and the England 10's laser-guided boot landed three more after the interval to punish Racing's mistakes.
It may not have been pretty, but with Saracens having set out several years ago to become the most ruthless, focused and dogged team around, Saturday's victory was apt testimony to the character that has taken them from a team playing in a north London park to champions of Europe over the past two decades.
"Saracens were too big, too strong, too well organised with a brilliant game plan. You can't allow for star players being injured and Racing losing their nine, 10 and 12, the heart of their side, was always going to be tough to come back from."

The centre-back had 18 months remaining on his old contract and his future had been the subject of much speculation.
Manager Tony Pulis was full of praise for the 25-year-old defender, who recently made his England debut.
"He's been the bedrock of what we've been trying to do over the past five or six years," said Pulis. "We're really pleased that he's finally agreed [to extend his time at Britannia Stadium.]"
Shawcross initially joined Stoke on loan from Manchester United in 2007 and helped the Potters win promotion to the Premier League.
He joined the club on a permanent basis for £1m during their promotion season.
In total, he has made 227 appearances for Pulis's side and scored 18 goals.
Shawcross made his England debut as a substitute in the 4-2 defeat by Sweden on 15 November.
The 27-year-old, who began day two on 58, hit 37 boundaries in his 361-ball knock - his maiden double century.
Earlier, England Test captain Alastair Cook was out for 66 and Ravi Bopara fell for 99 after sharing a third-wicket stand of 213 with Westley.
Ryan ten Doeschate added 77 not out as Essex closed on 512-4, a lead of 282.
It was a second day of complete dominance by the hosts, who went past 400 in the 96th over to take maximum batting bonus points and move a step closer to promotion back to the top flight.
Westley's third Championship hundred of the season also saw him become the leading scorer in either division with 1,189 runs.
The only slight blip was Bopara's dismissal one short of a century, edging Jack Shantry to slip, leaving the England all-rounder without a Championship hundred since July 2014.
Tom Westley told BBC Radio Essex:
"There has been a bit of banter in the changing room because I hadn't scored a double hundred. Nick Browne has scored two this year, and Adam Wheater got a double on loan at the start of the season, so they've been giving me a bit of stick for not being a proper batter until you score one.
"It has been frustrating, getting into good positions and feeling good and then for whatever reason getting out. I've scored a lot of fifties this season but haven't scored as many hundreds as I probably should have. It's nice to address it with a big one.
"That's also the best Ravi has batted this year. He's got a lot of 80s and 90s and he can't quite get over that hundred mark. He played beautifully and that was what he needed at that time."
Series two returns to the story of Detective Robin Griffin (Elisabeth Moss), four years after the original was aired.
Written by Jane Campion and Gerard Lee, it sees Robin try to solve a case stemming from a body in a suitcase washed up on Bondi Beach.
Robin is also trying to reconcile with Mary, the daughter she gave up for adoption - played by Alice Englert, Campion's own daughter.
Some reviewers were delighted with the first episode - titled China Girl - lauding Campion's direction and camera work, while others were not as keen.
The first episode was watched by 1.6 million people and the series in its entirety has now been rolled out on the BBC iPlayer.
Moss is joined by stars including Nicole Kidman, as Mary's adoptive mother Julia, and Gwendoline Christie as Miranda Hilmarson, a colleague of Moss's character.
Despite being a TV show, the series has a very filmic quality and was one of the few small screen projects showcased at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
Kidman is new to the series - the first, back in 2013, featured Holly Hunter, who starred in Campion's award-winning film The Piano back in 1993.
The first series followed Robin as she investigated a pregnant 12-year-old girl's disappearance.
Moss told the BBC she may make a third season - but not just yet.
The first series is also available now on the iPlayer.

Pilot John Jackson and brakemen Joel Fearon, Bruce Tasker and Stuart Benson won World Cup silver in Lake Placid in December and followed it up with silver at the European Championships last month.
"The Sochi track seems to suit my driving style quite well," said Jackson, who ruptured his Achilles in July but astounded medical experts by returning to competition in November.
"We gelled with the track straight away. We came fifth in the Olympic test event in February so we are hoping to make the step up into the top three and see how we go from there."
In Germany, the quartet have been working on their starts on a track with a similar profile to the 17 curves of the Sochi layout so they can hit the ground running when competition starts on Saturday.
"We've trained on a track with a short, flat start and then a drop-off and we've done a lot of work fine-tuning that, so hopefully in the first few pushes we can really nail it," said Benson.
The team have taken advantage of a UK Sport technology partnership with BAE Systems and McLaren and have been working to improve their equipment and aerodynamics.
"We've been doing a lot of work this year in the wind tunnel and had an F1 racing team working alongside us, and we've made small changes to the aerodynamics and the chassis," added Jackson, a Royal Marine.
"We hope the little 1% here and there will make all the difference."
Britain last won an Olympic medal in bobsleigh in 1998 when Sean Olsson's four-man crew took bronze in Nagano.
The only British bobsleigh gold medal came exactly 50 years ago, when Tony Nash and Robin Dixon, now Lord Glentoran, won the two-man title in Innsbruck in 1964.
Phone-ins and water cooler discussions have ranged around the sad circumstances of the Hollywood star's suicide and the fact that he had suffered with depression for some years - and the news on Friday that he may have been in the early stages of Parkinson's raises even more questions.
But his death has also raised wider questions about whether mental health is given the same priority as physical disorders.
A moving discussion on the Today programme featured Adrian Strain, whose 34-year-old son had recently taken his own life. He reflected on the fact that most people knew very little about mental illness and as a parent he always worried about whether he could have done more.
Also interviewed was the new President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Sir Simon Wessely. He highlighted the fact that society found it "apparently acceptable" that while with illnesses such as high blood pressure or cancer the vast majority of people were getting treatment or were known to medical services, the equivalent for mental disorders was no higher than 40%.
Prof Wessely acknowledged that the issue was complicated and that people who knew they had mental health problems often did not want to come forward for fear that their jobs would be at risk. But he argued that the waiting list for advanced psychological therapies was long and that the mental health situation needed to be higher up the political agenda.
In an unrelated development, Health Service Journal published conclusions they had drawn from Freedom of Information Act requests to 52 mental health trusts in England.
These included an overall reduction in nursing staff of 6% between 2011-12 and 2013-14 as well as a fall in the number of doctors employed and the number of beds. Charities and experts in the field described the analysis as painting a "worrying picture" and providing a "warning signal".
In response to the HSJ report, a Department of Health spokesperson said: "We have gone further than ever before to put mental health on a par with physical health and have instructed the NHS to make sure every community does the same."
The department points out that the mandate to NHS England states that every community must develop plans to ensure no one in mental health crisis will be turned away.
Calls for a higher profile for mental health and the need for a wider discussion on priorities and resources for patients suffering with depression are increasingly being heard. The sad case of Robin Williams has given new impetus to the debate.
Akosua Puni Essien reportedly paid 237,000 euros (£206,000) at an auction for the bankrupt club.
"The new owner and her team wish to make both the first team and the youth team grow," the club said.
"They will put their efforts into creating conditions to take the team back to Serie B and to develop the club's young talents."
Puni Essien describes herself as a "businesswoman, consultant, philanthropist and mother of three lovely kids" on her Twitter feed.
Former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Michael Essien, 34, played for Greek club Panathinaikos last season and joined Indonesia's Persib Bandung on Monday.
Como have had several short stints in Serie A, the longest being from 1984 to 1989 and the most recent in 2002-03 when they were relegated after one season.
They were relegated to the fifth tier in 2005 after a previous bankruptcy.
Designed by Brighton's Yelo Architects, the building would sit on the corner of Sackville Gardens and Kingsway.
It would provide 107 homes ranging from penthouse apartments to "affordable" flats, some with rooftop gardens or balconies.
Developers say it should be embraced but some campaigners think it is the wrong building in the wrong place.
The developer claims the derelict site has been an "eyesore" since a former hotel partially collapsed and had to be demolished in 2006.
Tom Shaw of The Hyde Group said: "This is a prominent site on Hove seafront which deserves a high quality building with real architectural and design merit."
But Valerie Paynter, of Save Hove, said: "This is an interesting piece of architectural design - but not for this site.
"It would serve better as offices in a large public square setting. It is depressing to have to oppose it."
Ms Paynter said light loss and its "overbearing appearance" would create a "bullying" presence for the housing that surrounded it.
Councillor Robert Nemeth of Wish Ward said: "With housing targets imposed upon us, we have little choice but to get building.
"This means either tall developments in key areas in the city or sprawling over the South Downs. As long as neighbours' concerns are genuinely taken into account, I'd much rather go up than out."
The agent, codenamed Stakeknife, has been linked to more than 50 murders.
The investigation will be led by the chief constable of Bedfordshire Police.
The PSNI said it would "not seek to direct or control, or in any way interfere" with the inquiry, which could take up to five years.
The agent known as Stakeknife has been named in the media as Freddie Scappaticci, originally from west Belfast. Mr Scappaticci has denied the allegations.
During a press briefing on Friday, PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton said the investigation team would not include any current or former members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), PSNI, Ministry of Defence or MI5.
"After taking a number of issues into consideration, I have decided that a team resourced with external officers and staff funded by the PSNI is the most appropriate way forward, given the size, scale and complexity of the investigation," he said.
The chief constable said the team would consist of between 50 and 70 investigators.
Mr Hamilton also introduced the man who will lead the investigation, Jon Boutcher, the chief constable of Bedfordshire Police.
"I am humbled to have been asked to lead such a critically important and complex investigation," he said.
"I do not underestimate the huge task of establishing the circumstances behind how and why these murders occurred during those dark days.
"My principal aim in taking responsibility for this investigation is to bring those responsible for these awful crimes, in whatever capacity they were involved, to justice.
"As soon as officers and staff are in place the investigation team will begin reaching out to victims, victims' families and all interested parties to receive information."
Who is Stakeknife?
Freddie Scappaticci is alleged to have been the most high ranking British agent within the Provisional IRA who was given the codename 'Stakeknife'.
He was the grandson of an Italian immigrant who came to Northern Ireland in search of work.
He has admitted, in the past, to being a republican but denies claims that he was an IRA informer.
He is believed to have led the IRA's internal security unit, known as 'the nutting squad,' which was responsible for identifying and interrogating suspected informers.
Mr Scappaticci left Northern Ireland when identified by the media as Stakeknife, in 2003.
In October 2015, the director of Public Prosecutions in Northern Ireland, Barra McGrory QC, announced that he had asked the police to investigate allegations that Stakeknife was involved in 24 murders.
The IRA's internal security unit is believed to have killed at least 53 people it claimed were informers between 1978 and 1995.
It is unlikely that Stakeknife had a role in of all of those killings, but they will all have to be re-investigated in an attempt to establish precisely the extent of his involvement.
The daughter of a woman who was allegedly murdered by the IRA said she was relieved that the investigation was "finally starting".
Belfast woman Caroline Moreland, a Catholic mother of three, was abducted and murdered in July 1994.
The body of the 34-year-old was found near Rosslea, County Fermanagh.
Her daughter, Shauna, said: "I'm still very cynical of getting the whole truth but I don't think I would be able to go on with this fight believing that I couldn't get aspects of the truth at least."
Nastase, 70, is under investigation by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) following his behaviour at last month's Fed Cup tie with Britain.
However, Nastase shared the stage with Madrid champion Simona Halep on Sunday.
"He had no place on the court today," said WTA chief Steve Simon.
Nastase, a former French and US Open champion, was ejected from the Fed Cup tie in Constanta after abusing British player Johanna Konta and captain Anne Keothavong.
The incident followed a derogatory remark from Nastase about 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams' unborn child.
An ITF investigation was subsequently launched and Nastase has since been banned from the upcoming French Open and Wimbledon tournaments.
He was present on Sunday, however, to watch his Fed Cup team member Halep beat Kristina Mladenovic and win the title in Madrid - a tournament owned and run by fellow Romanian, Ion Tiriac.
"The only shadow cast on the day was Mr Nastase's invitation to participate in the award ceremony," said Simon, chief executive of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA).
"He is currently under a provisional suspension by the ITF for his prior offensive actions and we revoked his credentials at WTA events while the investigation is being completed.
"It was both irresponsible and unacceptable of the Madrid Open to bestow him an official role.
"The Madrid tournament is a Premier-level event and held to the highest standards of professional tennis and leadership which were not reflected today."

Terri Spragg, 35, of Bettesworth Road, Ryde, Isle of Wight, was found guilty of seven counts of sexual activity with a child under 16 in December.
She originally received a 15-month sentence, suspended for two years.
The Court of Appeal has now jailed her for three years.
Solicitor General Robert Buckland QC MP described the original sentence as "unduly lenient" and referred the case to the Court of Appeal.
He said Spragg engaged in a series of sexual activities with the victim between 12 August and 1 November 2014, when he was 14.
The mother-of-four was caught after the victim's sister discovered messages on his phone, he added.
Speaking after the hearing on Thursday, the solicitor general said: "Gaining a child's trust and abusing it in this way is unacceptable.
"The original sentence failed to take proper account of the seriousness of the offence and the impact it has had on the victim and his family.
"I hope the court's decision to impose an immediate prison sentence sends a clear message to society that such offences will not be tolerated."
Whether soft or hard-boiled, fried or whisked into an omelette, eggs appeared to give infants a boost.
It could be a cheap way to prevent stunting, say researchers in the journal Pediatrics.
The first two years of life are critical for growth and development - any stunting is largely irreversible.
Poor nutrition is a major cause of stunting, along with childhood infections and illnesses.
According to the World Health Organization, 155 million children under the age of five are stunted (too short for their age).
Most live in low- and middle-income countries and health experts have been looking at ways to tackle the issue.
Lora Iannotti and her colleagues set up a field experiment in the rural highlands of Ecuador and gave very young children (aged six to nine months) free eggs to eat to see if this might help.
Only half of the 160 youngsters who took part in the randomised trial were fed an egg a day for six months - the others were monitored for comparison.
The researchers visited the children's families every week to make sure they were sticking to the study plan and to check for any problems or side-effects, including egg allergy.
Stunting was far less common among the egg treatment group by the end of the study - the prevalence was 47% less than in the non-egg group, even though relatively more of these egg-fed infants were considered short for their age at the start of the study.
Some of the children in the control group did eat eggs, but nowhere near as many as the treatment group.
Lead researcher Ms Iannotti said: "We were surprised by just how effective this intervention proved to be.
"And what's great is it's very affordable and accessible for populations that are especially vulnerable to hidden hunger or nutritional deficiency."
She said eggs were great food for young children with small stomachs.
"Eggs contain a combination of nutrients, which we think is important."
Prof Mary Fewtrell, nutrition lead at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "In a way, it is surprising that more research has not been conducted using egg in this situation - although I know that in some cultures, parents do not necessarily find egg to be an acceptable early food mainly because of concerns about allergy.
"Egg is a good nutritious complementary food that can be introduced as part of a varied diet once the mother decides to start complementary feeding - never before four months."
She said eggs should always be well cooked to avoid any potential infection risk.
The WHO recommends mothers worldwide to exclusively breastfeed infants for the child's first six months to achieve optimal growth, development and health. After the first six months, infants should be given nutritious complementary foods and continue breastfeeding up to the age of two years or beyond.
The British Nutrition Foundation advised: "While eggs are a nutritious food to include, it's very important that young children have a variety of foods in their diets. Not only is this necessary to get all the vitamins and minerals they need, but also to allow them to become familiar with a wide range of tastes and textures.
"A range of protein-rich foods should be provided when feeding young children, which can include eggs but can also feature beans, pulses, fish, especially oily fish, meat and dairy products."
Rather like the arrival of a new Doctor Who, the role is the same, but it will look and sound completely different with someone else playing the part.
Apart from some rubber stamping - or an unforeseen political earthquake - the next Ofsted head will be Amanda Spielman, who has been formally recommended by the Education Secretary Nicky Morgan.
It will also mean the departure of Sir Michael Wilshaw, who has become the dominant figure in England's education landscape.
Outspoken and independent, he outlasted the previous education secretary, Michael Gove, and often outgunned the current incumbent Mrs Morgan.
There was little secret about the Department for Education's irritation at Sir Michael's readiness to speak uncomfortable truths that could clash head-on with flagship ministerial policies.
Before the announcement of the ill-fated plans to force all state schools to become academies, Sir Michael's comments about academy chain shortcomings infuriated the education department.
In fact, the only people more worried than ministers about Sir Michael's straight talking were his own press handlers.
Because in a political culture of private briefings, placed stories and pre-formatted comments, he spoke openly and was ready to explain and defend his views.
He overshadowed ministers because he didn't talk in the shadows.
Despite the talk of transparency, anything approaching old-fashioned press conferences, where education ministers could face scrutiny on their policies, are now as rare as hen's teeth.
But his shooting from the hip also made Sir Michael a very controversial figure.
Teachers' unions regularly accused Ofsted of putting unfair and counter-productive pressure on teachers.
There were also very robust run-ins with the private school sector, with independent school leaders left fuming by the Ofsted chief's accusations that they only wanted to share the "crumbs from their table" with state schools.
Sir Michael has said the credibility of Ofsted depends upon its independence - and he managed to make it very difficult to put him into any political pigeon-hole.
He was both a traditionalist and a maverick.
He often criticised the progressive, left-wing theorists running London schools in the 1970s and 1980s. But at the same time was sceptical of those right-wing ideologues eager to outsource as much as possible of the education system.
If there was one thing that defined his time as chief inspector, it was his decision to scrap the word "satisfactory" in Ofsted grades and to replace it with "requires improvement". It was at once arbitrary, absolutist and at the same time ambitious.
Anything less than good would not be good enough for state school pupils under his watch.
So what's going to be different when Sir Michael goes?
There is certainly going to be a change in style.
Sir Michael Wilshaw has been front-of-house for most of his working life.
Before running Ofsted, he spent 26 years as a head teacher in London secondary schools, making his name in high-profile efforts to improve schools in deprived areas.
Amanda Spielman has been a backroom operator, helping to set up the widely-praised Ark academy chain and as the chair of the exam regulator, Ofqual.
At Ofqual, when the exam regulator got tangled up in knots over changes to qualifications, she seemed to be a thoughtful and calming figure in the background.
Heads were deeply unimpressed by Ofqual's approach to exam grades, but Ms Spielman managed to stay above the fray.
But even before she has been officially given the Ofsted job Ms Spielman has been criticised by teachers' unions.
While the unions were not exactly enthusiastic fans of Sir Michael, they couldn't argue with his 43 years teaching experience.
But they have complained that Ms Spielman, a Cambridge-educated former accountant, has never been a teacher and is too close to the academy chain lobby to be impartial.
While she will expect to be attacked from the left, the most pressing challenge for Ofsted is likely to come from the right.
Sir Michael has been a formidable roadblock to deregulating a publicly-accountable state school system.
Even as a former academy head, he was much more interested in scrutinising the practical outcome rather than the ideological intent.
When the government didn't want Ofsted to inspect academy chains, he effectively got round this by ordering mass inspections of their schools.
Like many great head teachers, he walked the fine line between being relentlessly single-minded and being accused of tunnel vision.
And there will be calls to use his departure as an opportunity to "cut Ofsted down to size" and to keep the regulator in line with government policy.
This will be a tough challenge for Ms Spielman.
The role of education watchdog usually brings with it a raft of canine metaphors - and she won't want to be seen as the government's "poodle" or an "attack dog" for academy chains.
She also faces the rising challenge of what is in effect a parallel set of regulators, the regional school commissioners, who are officials appointed by the education department and likely to be much more docile to the demands of ministers.
The job of maintaining school standards is an intensely political balancing act.
Like a regenerating Doctor Who, Ms Spielman will have to escape the comparisons with previous incarnations and make sure she isn't upstaged either by the daleks or the zombies.
Nearly 26,000 children, aged five to nine, were admitted to hospital in England in 2013-14, up 14% from 2011, with tooth decay.
The Royal College of Surgeons says many hospitals are reaching "crisis point" managing the number of children.
The government says children's dental health has improved in the past decade.
But Prof Nigel Hunt, dean of the Royal College of Surgeons' dental faculty, believes more needs to be done.
"It is absolutely intolerable that in this day and age, in a civilised country, children are having so many teeth out for decay, which is over 90% preventable.
"We need to stop talking and have action to bring several bodies together - the Royal College of Surgeons, Public Health England, NHS England, government and industry to make sure we improve all aspects of oral health."
He also called for the amount of sugar in food and drink to be better labelled, greater education of parents and more money for research as to why certain ethnic groups and people in areas of social deprivation are less likely to visit a dentist.
A report by the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) published earlier this year showed tooth decay was the most common reason five to nine-year-olds were admitted to hospital.
Approximately 46,500 children and young people under 19 were admitted to hospital with tooth decay in 2013-14, with 25,812 in the five to nine age group, a 14% increase since 2010-11.
The report says there may be several reasons for this rise, including children not accessing a dentist until it is too late or more children not brushing their teeth properly.
The RCS says £30m was spent on hospital-based tooth extractions for children aged 18 years and under in 2012-13.
"Many hospitals are reaching crisis point in managing the number of children referred for a general anaesthetic for tooth decay," said Prof Hunt.
"Some people are having to wait over six months to access that service, some even up to a year in one particular centre. During that time that child will be in pain, suffering and perhaps having repeated antibiotics. All of this is unacceptable."
A national dental health survey, carried out every 10 years and last published in May, found almost half of eight-year-olds have signs of decay in their milk teeth.
However it did report an overall reduction in the number of cavities in children's teeth over the last decade.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "Children's teeth are dramatically healthier than they were 10 years ago but it still needs to improve.
"We are radically changing NHS dentistry, so that dentists will be paid for keeping the nations' teeth healthy, rather than just for treating problems as they arise.
"NHS dentistry is free for children and we strongly recommend parents take children for regular check-ups."
California-born Steel, 21, has played for the first team in all three competitions this season.
He made his maiden first-class century last month, scoring 128 against Northamptonshire at the Riverside.
"He's demonstrated real talent this year and contributed well in both the red and white ball format," coach Jon Lewis told the club website.
"His continuous improvement with the bat has been extremely pleasing and we're keen to develop his role as a leg-spinning all-rounder."
Sam Wood headed home Joe Jacobson's cross to put the Chairboys ahead, but Charlie Wyke levelled from Hallam Hope's exquisite through ball.
Carlisle keeper Mark Gillespie brought down Garry Thompson in the box, but then saved Jacobson's penalty.
The visitors had Marcus Bean sent off for a reckless challenge on Mark Ellis, but Carlisle could not capitalise.
The Cumbrians gave a debut to Sunderland midfielder Michael Smith as a second-half substitute after signing him on loan for the rest of the season.

Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio: "On the road it's been a long three or four days, but it's been a worthy one.
"Two points we've taken home, some say lose one and win one and you get more points, but I think the mental state of the boys, especially seeing that game out with 10 men today, was superb.
The attackers attacked a border post at Rafah, captured two Egyptian army vehicles and then tried to smash their way over the border, Israel said.
One vehicle apparently blew up at the Kerem Shalom crossing, while the other was destroyed by the Israeli air force.
Egypt has declared three days of mourning for the dead policemen.
The Egyptian army vowed to avenge the deaths, in a statement carried by the official news agency Mena.
Islamist militants have been blamed by both sides for carrying out the raid.
The attack on the border post close to Gaza and Israel took place at about 20:00 local time (18:00 GMT) - when the sun was setting and the guards had stopped work for the traditional iftar meal, which breaks the daily fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Masked gunmen dressed as Bedouin nomads opened fire on police with guns and rocket-propelled grenades, Egyptian state television said.
Sixteen soldiers and border guards were killed and another seven were wounded, officials said.
Minutes later, one armoured vehicle taken by the gunmen blew up and another crossed the border into Israel before it was hit by the air force, Israeli media reported.
In all, eight militants were killed, Israel's Defence Minister Ehud Barak told a parliamentary committee in Jerusalem.
The vehicle that blew up was loaded with explosives, the Israeli prime minister's spokesman, Ofir Gendelman, said on Twitter.
The aim of the militants was to use stolen vehicles to target Israeli civilians, Israeli officials said.
Visiting the Kerem Shalom crossing on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was saddened by the deaths of the Egyptian policemen.
"I think it is clear that Israel and Egypt have a common interest in keeping the border between us peaceful," he said.
But he added that the incident showed Israel had to rely on its own forces to ensure its security. Defence Minister Barak described the incident as a wake-up call for Egypt.
Egypt's state news agency quoted a top security official who said the gunmen were "jihadists" who had infiltrated from the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army had been prepared for such an incident and had stepped up patrols along the border with Gaza, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Brig-Gen Yoav Mordechai was quoted as saying.
Egypt's President Mohammed Mursi held an emergency meeting with military and security officials after the attack.
In a televised statement, he condemned what he called a "cowardly" attack and said the security forces would "take full control" of the Sinai peninsula.
As the search for any remaining gunmen continues, Egypt has closed its Rafah border crossing with Gaza, our Cairo correspondent Yolande Knell reports.
The Islamist Hamas movement, which governs Gaza, has condemned the attack.
The attack will be seen as more worrying evidence that Islamist militants have a firm foothold in the restive Northern Sinai region, our correspondent says.
They have been blamed for several rocket attacks against Israel and a cross-border raid that killed eight Israelis last year.
Recently, there have also been repeated attacks on the pipeline that exports gas to Israel and Jordan. Last month, two Egyptian soldiers were shot dead.
Egypt's military sent extra tanks and troops into the Sinai last year. The terms had to be agreed with Israel under the terms of the 1979 peace treaty between the two countries, our correspondent says.
The Food Foundation said more action needs to be taken to get people eating the recommended daily intake.
The call came as it launched its Peas Please initiative on Monday.
It aims to secure commitments from the industry and government to increase vegetable consumption among the public.
It will bring together the likes of retailers, food producers, public bodies, councils, the NHS and government representatives in Wales.
Amber Wheeler, food security and sustainability consultant and PhD student at the University of South Wales, said: "We want all families to be able to eat more vegetables.
"To do this we need the whole supply chain, government and NGO's to work together to help make eating veg the easy choice.
"This is something that could radically change the health of the nation for the better at the same time as boosting the economy and providing more jobs."
Katie Palmer of Food Cardiff, part of the Sustainable Food Cities network, added: "Peas Please could be the innovation we need to increase consumer demand and influence the Welsh supply chain."
Nourish Scotland and WWF also head up the initiative, which was simultaneously launched in Cardiff, London and Glasgow.
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.
It brings together prominent figures from the five political parties with seats at Holyrood and others from business and civic society.
Among those backing the new organisation are former Labour first minister Henry McLeish and former SNP MSP Andrew Wilson.
Mr McLeish said the aim was to "inspire and enthuse" people about the prospect of political change.
The campaign's steering group also includes former Conservative MSP Derek Brownlee, former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland Dr Alison Elliot and former Olympic badminton player Susan Egelstaff.
The group has made a submission to the Smith Commission which is looking at further powers for the Scottish Parliament.
The campaign said it believed the "No" vote in the referendum on Scottish independence indicated that there was a desire among the people of Scotland to see meaningful home rule within the United Kingdom.
It has set out three underlying principles for giving Scotland more powers.
These are that both Holyrood and Westminster should raise the money they spend, that there should be mutual respect between these two parliaments and that there should be a presumption in favour of devolving power to Holyrood unless Westminster could make the case for retaining responsibility.
Former Labour First Minister Mr McLeish said: "The Scottish Parliament has gained new powers in 1999, 2012 and is likely to have more powers in 2015.
"But this devolution of powers has to have a purpose and be part of a sustainable and progressive vision for Scotland not just another response to a political or constitutional crisis.
"Our home rule campaign should seek to inspire and enthuse and raise the level of political and constitutional debate."
Mr Wilson added: "The whole country needs to come together and secure the highest common denominator that will unify the vast majority of us that want progress and a much more responsible Parliament.
"The twin goals of economic prosperity and social fairness must be pursued with the same passion and vitality that drove the referendum.
"This is a journey without end. But we must move at a pace that builds deep and wide foundations of support. Now it is time to build a bridge between the '45' and the '55', not dig a trench."
Other members of the 12-person steering group are Prof Richard Kerley, Matthew Benson, John Dunsmore, Hamira Khan, James Mackenzie and Margaret Smith.
It is being chaired by Reform Scotland chairman Ben Thomson.
He said: "If I have learnt anything from 30 years in business it is that people generally work best if they have proper responsibility to get on with the job, are given the tools to do it and there is mutual respect.
"I see no reason why this should be any different in the public sector.
"If Holyrood is going to be effective and genuinely accountable to the Scottish people, then it should have proper responsibility for domestic matters in Scotland. This should enable the Scottish Parliament to be able to set policies that can deliver a better economy and society.
"To do this it should have the tools that match its responsibility, including welfare and fiscal powers."
It's a criticism that conservative commentators and political operatives largely started but is increasingly being picked up by mainstream journalists.
News outlets disagree over exactly how many questions Mrs Clinton has answered since she launched her presidential bid on 12 April, but it's definitely small. According to the National Journal and Politico, the number is eight. ABC says nine. NPR puts the tally at 13, and helpfully includes links to audio and video.
Among the not-so-hard-hitting interrogatories the former secretary of state has answered:
- Variations on how she likes Iowa. Answer: "It's fabulous."
- Is Iowa important? Yes.
- Why are you running for president? "To be the champion of Americans and their families."
Not asked was what kind of tree she would be, if she liked puppies or who she thinks will win the Stanley Cup.
There were a handful of more challenging queries, on issues such as international trade, allegations of ethical improprieties from the book Clinton Cash and - a telling sign of journalistic frustration - whether she thinks her campaign is too staged. Mrs Clinton quickly brushed them off.
Last week the New York Times launched what it says will be a regular feature on its website, posting questions they would ask Mrs Clinton if they could. The first was on immigration.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party is trying to get in on the game, with its own list of proposed questions on donations to the Clinton Foundation, the appropriateness of having a private email server while in public office, campaign finance and even the immigration status of her grandparents.
There also have been a spate of stories on how many questions others have answered over the course of Mrs Clinton's presidential run. NBC News points out that Bill Clinton has had three television interviews and fielded at least 30 questions.
Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina boasts that she has answered 322 questions since her campaign launched on 4 May.
"If I was Hillary Clinton, I would take two questions after every event," tweets the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza. "Why let the storyline linger?"
Why? Mrs Clinton has decided not to answer questions for the simple reason that she doesn't have to. And all the grousing from the media - whose public approval ratings rank even lower than those of politicians - likely isn't going to change that.
Mrs Clinton almost certainly won't face a serious challenger for the Democratic nomination, and so she is, in effect, already running a general election campaign. And like most general election campaigns, the events are carefully scripted and the interaction with the public is meticulously controlled in order to avoid any potentially damaging missteps.
Those town hall forums? Packed with supporters. The kitchen table conversations? Staged photo ops. If an errant challenging question or moment of candour slips through, it represents a failure on the part of the candidate's advance team.
Ms Fiorina and the rest of the current crop of Republican presidential hopefuls don't have that luxury, however. They're competing for attention and political oxygen in a crowded field, where it's difficult to turn down the free media hits that accompany unscripted interviews and face-to-face voter interaction.
Those interviews aren't without risk, however - as former Florida Governor Jeb Bush proved earlier this week, when he stepped into controversy after mishandling a question about the Iraq War.
"Hillary take note," tweets the Atlantic's David Frum. "Jeb Bush getting hammered today for recklessly taking tough questions from the media and answering them honestly."
Unlike Mrs Clinton, Republican candidates are going to have to work against fierce opposition to garner supporters in the early voting states, where residents pride themselves on being able to have meaningful interactions with the candidates.
There's the old joke about the New Hampshire resident who says he won't make up his mind until he's met every candidate at least three times.
New Hampshire and Iowa voters will certainly get to meet Mrs Clinton over the coming months. And campaign spokesperson Jesse Ferguson points out that Mrs Clinton is answering their questions - which are the ones that count.
"If a candidate answers hours of questions from real people on camera but they didn't come from press, did they happen?" he tweets sardonically.
But unless something changes, those interactions are all going to be in a much more comfortable environment than Republican candidates could hope for.
And reporters are largely going to have to keep their questions to themselves.
Republican candidates in - and out - of the race
The Hull City defender flew out with the rest of the squad from Glasgow ahead of the Group D match on Friday.
"It's a tough one to say because the gaffer's said all along we've never known what game was the must win game," said Robertson.
"But, one of them definitely will be and we'll only know that by the end of the group."

Scotland go into the match sitting third in the group behind Poland and Germany as they bid to qualify for their first major tournament since 1998.
Georgia are fifth with just three points from six games, with Gordon Strachan's men having defeated them 1-0 at Ibrox last October.
However, fans still remember how the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign was derailed by a 2-0 defeat in Georgia.
"Every game from now on is important," said Robertson.
"It does have the must win feel about it, but just because we're getting to the end of the group every game's got that feeling about it. I think it will be like that for the next four games that we've got."
Assistant coach Stuart McCall says they have no fresh injury concerns and the management have made their minds up on eight or nine starting positions.
He believes a draw would not be a bad result for Scotland ahead of Monday's visit of world champions Germany, before the remaining double-header in October against Poland (home) and Gibraltar (away).
"If we do get a point it could be a good point if we go on to beat Poland," said McCall. "It's a game we're looking to win, all our rivals have been there and won. It's certainly the intention we go there and be positive.
"Everyone will look at the 4-0 with Poland, but it wasn't until the 89th minute Poland got their second. They could quite easily have got a draw in the last 10 minutes.
"They're improving and even though we played well against them at Ibrox we only managed to win 1-0 with an own goal.
"It'll be tight, I don't think there'll be many goals in it. As long as we get more than them I'll be happy."
McCall is also confident the long trip to Georgia will not prove a problem for a side, who have become adept at producing results away from home.
He said: "We won in Croatia, we won in Poland in a friendly then got a draw there, played well in Germany, didn't play fantastic over in Dublin but got the result we were after, and a decent performance at Wembley.
"So I don't think there's a fear we're not at home. Results and performances since Gordon's come in has shown that we do well on the road."
Of course the agenda can be livened-up, at short notice, by ministerial statements or urgent questions, and there are a number of very big issues coming down the track (the date of the EU referendum, the mammoth Investigatory Powers Bill, the Trident vote) but the current quiet in Westminster leaves plenty of time for leadership speculation and euro-plotting.
Here's my rundown of the week's events:
Monday
The Commons opens at 2.30pm, with Work and Pensions questions, after which any post-weekend ministerial statements or urgent questions will be taken.
The day's main legislating is the second reading of the Bank of England and Financial Services Bill - this deals with the governance, transparency and accountability of the Bank of England, as well as updating resolution planning and crisis management arrangements between the Bank and the Treasury.
It extends the senior managers and certification regime across the whole financial services industry and it extends the scope of the Pension Wise guidance service.
Of all the scheduled events this week (there's no accounting for urgent questions or statements) the backbench debate on the future of the Financial Conduct Authority looks the most interesting; a cross party team of Guto Bebb (Conservative), John Mann (Labour) and Kirsten Oswald (SNP) has put down a motion of no confidence in the City regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, saying it is not fit for purpose.
This is a pretty unprecedented move - I'm told the Commons clerks have been searching for a precedent without reward - I wonder if they've got back to the Honourable East India Company yet. It was sparked by the FCA's handling of a number of controversies, over interest rate swaps, and the management of the Connaught Income Fund (nearly 50 MPs - an impressive number - attended a recent adjournment debate on that issue) but most of all because the FCA has dropped plans for an inquiry into the culture of the financial services industry, a decision which has alarmed a number of MPs.
In Westminster Hall (from 4.30pm) MPs debate e-petition 110776 on transitional state pension arrangements for women born in the 1950s: "The government must make fair transitional arrangements for all women born on or after 6th April 1951 who have unfairly borne the burden of the increase to the State Pension Age (SPA). Hundreds of thousands of women have had significant changes imposed on them with a lack of appropriate notification." Helen Jones, the chair of the Petitions Committee, will lead the debate.
In the Lords (from 2.30pm) there's more committee stage debate on the Immigration Bill, where the key issues include immigration detention, "deport first appeal later", migrant support, and family reunion. The dinner break business is a short debate on the effects of neglected tropical diseases in impairing social and economic development in developing countries.
Tuesday
The Commons meets at 11.30am for Business, Innovation and Skills questions - and that's followed by a Ten Minute Rule Bill from the Lib Dem former Scottish secretary, Alistair Carmichael. His Mobile Telecommunications Network Coverage (Contractual Obligations) Bill aims to strengthen the rights of consumers who purchase mobile phone contracts which do not provide the advertised service; they're promised four bars of signal in his Orkney and Shetland constituency and get none.
After that, MPs have their first debate on the Enterprise Bill - which creates a Small Business Commissioner, to deal with late payment of bills. An estimated £27bn is owed to small and medium-sized businesses. The bill also has measures dealing with deregulation and apprenticeships.
In Westminster Hall the day's debates include regional airports and UK airports capacity (9.30am-11am) and gender pricing (4.30-5.30pm).
In the Lords (from 2.30pm) there will be ping-pong on two bills from the Commons: the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Bill - where no vote is expected, but key issues are housing and the Charity Commission. Then peers turn to ping-pong on the Childcare Bill - Labour is working on getting into scope a report on the effectiveness of the government's childcare proposals - and they may force that issue to a vote.
Then peers turn to an important statutory instrument: the Feed-in Tariffs (Amendment) Order, a measure which effectively cuts the subsidies to various forms of green energy; there's a Labour regret motion and a Lib Dem fatal motion, which Labour will abstain on.
Wednesday
The Commons opens at 11.30am, with International Development questions, followed, at noon by Prime Minister's Question Time - first in the batting order is Labour awkward squaddie John Mann, one of those behind Monday's debate on the FCA; anyone care to bet against him raising the issue with the PM?
PMQs is followed by a Ten Minute Rule Bill on Automatic Electoral Registration, from the Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh, to ensure the accuracy of electoral registers. The bill proposes to automatically register everyone accessing a public service (that is everyone who applies for a driving license, everyone who has a National Insurance number, or receives a benefit), thereby making it much easier to keep an accurate and complete register.
She quotes estimates that the government's new system of Individual Voter Registration will lead to one million voters falling off the electoral register: the bill proposes to reverse this trend.
The day's main debates are on Labour motions on tax avoidance and multinational companies - and then on public finances in Scotland. And that's followed by an adjournment debate on child dental health, led by the Conservative, Sir Paul Beresford. Tooth decay is one of the main reasons young children arrive at A&E, and the House's resident dentist will explore the issue.
In Westminster Hall, the day's debates include: fuel poverty (9.30am- 11am); Bryan Evans and the Serious Fraud Office (11am- 11.30am); and government investment in cycling (4.30 -5.30pm).
My eye was caught by the debate on changes to the level of local government funding (2.30pm - 4pm). Former Labour leadership contender Liz Kendall will open a general debate, designed to encourage as many MPs as possible to raise their particular concerns about the future of local government in an era of austerity.
In the Lords, the main business is the continuation of detailed committee stage consideration of the Immigration Bill, where peers will be looking at the issues of unaccompanied refugee children, border security and language requirements for public sector workers. During the dinner break, the House will consider a Lib Dem regret motion on the Housing benefit, abolition of the Family Premium and Date of Claim Regulations. It's not expected to be pushed to a vote.
Thursday
The Commons meets at 9.30am for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs questions; then mini-question times for the MPs who speak for the Church Commissioners, the Public Accounts Commission and Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission. After the weekly Commons Business statement from the Leader of the House, the rest of the day is devoted to debates chosen by the Backbench Business Committee.
First is a select committee statement from Bernard Jenkin, the chair of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, on the committee's report The collapse of Kids Company: lessons for charity trustees, professional firms, the Charity Commission, and Whitehall.
Then comes debates on Parliamentary sovereignty and EU renegotiations and conflict in Yemen. On the first of those, the debate was applied for by the Conservative John Baron who believes the prime minister has not made a restoration of UK Parliamentary sovereignty a priority in his EU renegotiation.
"Without the restoration of sovereignty, everything else is peripheral," Mr Baron said. "We should by ourselves be able to stop unwanted directives, taxes and regulation. I look forward to the Government's response in the debate, given many of us have been unsuccessful in engaging with the Prime Minister."
The adjournment debate is on the Delay Repay scheme for rail commuters - led by the Lib Dem, Tom Brake.
The Westminster Hall debate (1.30pm) is on the role of men in preventing violence against women.
In the Lords, business in the Chamber begins at 11am - and the main event is the third reading of the Education and Adoption Bill - the key issue outstanding is the new regional schools commissioners created under the Bill.
Labour peer and human rights lawyer Helena Kennedy then leads debates on both the EU Committee's report Subsidiarity Assessment: Reform of the electoral law of the EU and on a reasoned opinion on the European Parliament's proposed decision on the election of MEPs. The final business in the Chamber is a debate on the EU Committee's report on Capital Markets Union: a welcome start.
Friday
It's another private members' bill day in the Commons (from 9.30am) opening with detailed consideration of the Conservative Mike Wood's Riot Compensation Bill, and then William Wragg's Criminal Cases Review Commission (Information) Bill.
If those are completed (and there seems to be a consistent pattern of padding out these report stage debates) there might be a little time left to allow a mini-second reading debate on Peter Bone's Ovarian Cancer (Information) Bill, but I doubt Christopher Chope's Bat Habitats Regulation Bill will be reached.
One other Friday trend to watch out for is for the granting of urgent questions, which used to be quite a rarity on Fridays, when the Commons tends to be thinly-attended.
The Speaker's Office always insists that these are decided on merit, but I can't help wondering if some kind of message is being sent, about the increasing tendency to slip policy announcements out on a Thursday, when they might not be noticed by departing MPs.
The dental implant comes from the richly-furnished timber burial chamber of an Iron Age woman that was excavated in Le Chene, northern France.
The woman, who was between 20 and 30 years old when she died, had an iron pin in place of an upper incisor tooth.
It is possible the pin once held a false tooth made from either wood or bone, which could have rotted away.
The findings have been published in the scholarly journal Antiquity.
The grave was one of four adult female burials in an enclosure dating to the third century BC that were discovered during the construction of a housing development in the Champagne-Ardenne region.
The burials, which contained a rich array of grave goods, show all the hallmarks of the Celtic La Tene culture, which flourished across Central and Western Europe at the time.
"The skeleton was very badly preserved," Guillaume Seguin, who excavated the young woman's skeleton in 2009, told BBC News.
"But the teeth were in an anatomical position, with the molars, pre-molars, canines and incisors. Then there was this piece of metal. My first reaction was: what is this?"
The teeth were bagged and taken away for analysis. Mr Seguin later realised that the woman had 31 rather than 32 teeth, and photos taken at the excavation site show the iron pin in the place where the missing tooth would have been.
"The fact that it has the same dimensions and shape as the teeth means that the best hypothesis is that it was a dental prosthesis - or at least, an attempt at one," said Mr Seguin, from the Bordeaux-based archaeology firm Archeosphere.
There are reasons to doubt whether it was successful, says Mr Seguin. Firstly, the propensity for iron to corrode inside the body makes it unsuitable for use as a dental implant; titanium is the material of choice today for modern versions.
Secondly, the absence of sterile conditions during this period mean the pin could have caused an abscess, followed by an infection that could potentially have ended the individual's life.
However, the poor preservation of the remains means it is impossible to say whether the implant played any role in the woman's death.
While the find may be the earliest dental implant known from Western Europe, prosthetic teeth dating back 5,500 years have been found in Egypt and the Near East.
However, most are believed to have been inserted after death to restore the appearance of the deceased.
The researchers cannot completely rule out a post-mortem insertion of the pin in this case either. But they argue that several converging lines of evidence point to its use during life as an implant.
But it remains impossible to say for certain whether the pin once held a replacement tooth made of bone or wood, both of which could have perished in the acidic soil.
In Antiquity, Mr Seguin, along with co-authors from the University of Bordeaux, wrote that the burials "convey the image of a social elite concerned about their appearance".
They also note that the date of the burials coincides with a period when the Celtic Gauls were in contact with the Etruscan civilisation of northern Italy.
The Etruscans were known for their relative mastery of dentistry, although the partial dentures inserted into gold bands and fitted onto existing teeth represent a different approach to dental restoration than that seen in third century Gaul.
Newspapers claimed the 28-year-old's wife was the victim of an attempted acid attack.
His exit from Chelmsford was announced on Tuesday, just four days after he joined Essex for the T20 Blast.
In a post on his Facebook page, Tamim said his decision to return home was taken for "personal reasons".
He continued: "Some media reported that we were the target of attempted hate crime. This is really not true.
"England is one my of favourite places to play cricket and Essex have been entirely gracious even though I had to leave early.
"I thank all my fans and well wishers for their concern and messages, and look forward to going back to England for future matches."
Tamim played only one game for Essex, scoring seven in Sunday's defeat by Kent Spitfires.
"We wish him all the best and it would be appreciated if his privacy is respected," Essex said in a statement on Tuesday.
Some Asian stock markets also ended the day lower on fears the crash may intensify political tensions between the West, Ukraine and Russia.
This is the second catastrophe to hit the Malaysian airline this year after flight MH370 disappeared in March.
Questions are being asked about whether the carrier can now survive.
"Even if this is pure coincidence, it's never happened in history that a flag carrier has seen two wide-body aircraft disappearing in a few months," said Bertrand Grabowski, head of aviation at DVB Bank, which acts as a banker to Malaysia Airlines.
"The support from the government needs to be more explicit and perhaps more massive."
The company has been losing money for many years and its market value has fallen by more than 40% in the past nine months.
Reports suggest that state investment firm Khazanah Nasional, the major shareholder in the airline, is looking to take the carrier private.
The firm has invested more than $1bn into the airline in recent years and had previously indicated that a major restructuring was on the cards.
Analysts said further investment was needed if the airline was to survive in the short term.
Speaking to the BBC's World Service, Mohshin Aziz, an investment analyst at Maybank in Kuala Lumpur, said the challenges now facing Malaysia Airlines were "insurmountable". Without significant funding, he said the airline would not survive beyond a year.
But even if the airline was to secure financing, questions about its longer-term viability remain, analysts said.
"This latest incident will now compromise the brand from a European perspective," said Leo Fattorini, aviation partner at Bird & Bird.
"You've got to ask whether the brand can survive this latest tragedy."
Foreign mining license holders will have to cut their stake down from 80% within 10 years, according to the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.
The policy change was made on 21 February but not announced until Wednesday.
Indonesia is keen to increase domestic investment in mining projects.
"The aim is the state has to get more. For new investment it will be simple, but for existing investment there must be renegotiation," Mining Minister Jero Wacik said.
The details of how the policy would affect those existing investments is unclear.
However, some raised alarm at the changes.
"This policy will threaten Indonesia's mining investment climate," said Syahrir Abubakar, executive director of the Indonesian Mining Association, adding that he feared foreign companies would not invest in the Indonesian mining sector any more.
Resource-rich Indonesia has reserves of gold, tin, copper and coal.
Major foreign investors in Indonesia's mining projects include the world's largest mining company, BHP Billiton, which own a 75% stake in a Kalimantan coal project.
Freeport-McMoran operates the Grasberg gold and copper mines in Papua.
In a statement the company said it was confident that the Indonesian government would honour existing contracts, but that the company had begun voluntarily divesting some of its stake.
It said there was a "mutual commitment as part of Freeport Indonesia efforts for future investment".
Working as a doctor for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), I have seen many things in Syria during the past five years. But nothing like this.
We'd tried to reach the centre the previous day, but couldn't get the necessary security guarantees. The fighting had been too intense. Three people at the centre died during that time.
Now we'd got permission to go to the former old people's home, which had become a refuge for around 150 people, some disabled, some mentally ill and the rest just desperate people with nowhere else to go.
We, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and the ICRC, were there to take them out of eastern Aleppo.
It was already going dark as we drove into the narrow streets of the Old City. I'd known the area before the war, a thriving, bustling place.
Now, it was a sea of rubble. I couldn't recognise streets, never mind buildings. A ghost town of smashed concrete. An end of the world place. Like a fury had swept through.
Gunfire rattled in the distance but here there was no noise, no people.
We had to walk the last bit that vehicles couldn't pass.
In the midst of the landscape, two crumbling buildings. One building for the men, one for the women.
We entered the yard. A group of patients sat huddled round an open fire. They had few clothes and were shivering. Many looked bemused. They were very near to each other, pushing their shoulders together, looking around, trying to reassure one another.
To one side, there were bodies, maybe around 10 of them.
I knew the man who ran the centre and we found him. We learnt that he'd lost his entire family three days earlier: among them, his wife, son and grandson. He'd brought his family here because he thought no-one would attack the centre.
Some of the bodies in the yard were members of his family.
As darkness closed in and temperatures dropped further, we had to move fast. We identified those who needed help most. As we worked, an old man died in front of us from the cold.
No medicines. No heating, No fuel to cook the food.
I checked a few nearby buildings to see if there were any other people. There weren't.
But there was another body. We could see it, but it was trapped under a collapsed building. We couldn't do anything about it.
The evacuation was not simple. Many, especially those with mental illness, didn't want to leave. They were confused, helpless. They didn't realise they were living in a war zone.
Some had been living there for four or five years. They knew nothing else. "We have no other relatives, we have nowhere else to go." Some said they'd prefer to stay.
And then some soldiers arrived. They brought six children with them. They'd been found among the rubble, lost, helpless. The oldest was a seven-year-old girl, the youngest a seven-month-old baby boy. They hadn't eaten for two days.
They'd all just become orphans, their parents killed by a bomb during the past few days. They had nothing, and no-one. What can you say? What can you do?
At the centre, 18 people wanted to stay behind. Because they had nowhere else to go.
I hope we can get back soon to bring them some help.
Another chapter in a god-awful war.
Those people paid the cost of this terrible war which they had nothing to do with and did not decide to be a part of. They were the most vulnerable of the vulnerable. And no side protected them.
This is not about who is right, or who is wrong. Who is winning, who is losing. This is about people: flesh and blood, human beings. Bleeding, dying, being made orphans, every day.
I feel so very sad, today. Please, there have to be some limits to this war.
The news channel showed a blue screen on Wednesday with a sign saying it would not be available until Monday.
India says maps used by the channel are incorrect, as they show the region of Kashmir as divided between Pakistan, India and China.
Kashmir is claimed by both India and Pakistan in its entirety but has effectively been divided since 1948.
Failure to agree on the status of the territory by diplomatic means has brought India and Pakistan to war on a number of occasions, and ignited an insurgency in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Maps approved by the Indian government still show the entirety of the former princely state as lying within Indian control - while other maps seek to show the de facto border between areas administered by India and Pakistan.
On Wednesday, al-Jazeera programmes in India were replaced by a sign saying the channel would not be available until 27 April, "as instructed by the ministry of information and broadcasting".
The channel's bureau chief in India, Anmol Saxena, was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying that the channel has "made representations to the ministry" and was hopeful of having the order revoked.
Indian officials reportedly issued the order for al-Jazeera to be taken off-air earlier this month, accusing the Qatar-based broadcaster of "cartographic aggression".
The country's authorities routinely criticise the international media, saying they have failed to reflect India's claims regarding Kashmir's borders.
In 2011, the Economist magazine was forced by the country's authorities to cover up a map to illustrate a cover story about the border between India and Pakistan.
The magazine responded by accusing India of censorship.
Mark Thomas Hillman, 26, was found with serious injuries to his upper body on a pavement in Lloyd Close, Everton, Liverpool, at 17:15 BST on Wednesday.
Mr Hillman, from Kirkdale, was pronounced dead in hospital a short time later.
Police were called after a member of the public heard several loud bangs. Officers are treating it as a "targeted attack".
The move followed calls for further consideration of the regulations after women carrying babies with fatal foetal abnormalities told their stories.
Foetal abnormality is not a reason for abortion under Northern Ireland law.
Health Minister Edwin Poots has said he would meet the Public Prosecution Service over potential prosecution of staff involved in an abortion.
In a statement on Wednesday, a Department of Health spokesperson said consultation on the draft guidelines, issued in March, had now closed.
"A number of submissions highlighted the issue of lethal foetal abnormality and incompatibility with life," the statement said.
"Full consideration is currently been given to all the consultation submissions and the minister intends to bring a final version to the executive for its consideration at an early stage, ideally within a number of weeks".
Meanwhile, a retired senior obstetrician has told the BBC that the draft abortion guidelines have caused a "mood of fear" among medical staff since their publication in March.
Prof Jim Dornan, who was involved in drawing up the previous guidelines, said high-profile foetal abnormality cases were emerging now because of the new measures included in the six-month old draft guidelines.
He said those measures included a warning that staff could face ten years in jail if they failed to report their suspicions of unlawful terminations to police.
Prof Dornan has welcomed the health minister's decision to meet the Public Prosecution Service, to clarify the legal implications for health care staff.
Last week, the BBC's Nolan Show highlighted the cases of two women who were refused terminations in Northern Ireland.
Sarah Ewart travelled to England for an abortion because her baby was diagnosed with anencephaly, a severe brain abnormality.
She said the baby had no skull formed and it was brain dead.
Another woman, Laura, who is 22 weeks pregnant with twins who are suffering from the same condition, appealed to Mr Poots to allow her to have an abortion in Northern Ireland.
Justice Minister David Ford has previously said he was committed to bringing a paper to the Northern Ireland Executive looking at issues around the termination of pregnancy.
The justice minister said the women's circumstances had highlighted whether adjustments were needed in the current legislation.
Although the athlete represents the peak of human athletic prowess, he still can only swim at a top speed of 5-6mph (8-10km/h) an hour, slower than the shark.
To even things up, the US swimmer wore a "monofin" for the open water race in South Africa, increasing his speed significantly but still not taking it anywhere close to the at least 25mph a Great White is capable of in short bursts.
And - spoiler alert - the athlete has revealed they were not in the water "at the exact same time" for safety reasons.
But humans have long pitted themselves against dangerous animals, often ones they know are much faster.
They have done this for money, to draw attention to a cause, to create a spectacle, and perhaps also out of an inflated sense of what humans are capable of.
Here are four other times man has raced beast.
Bryan Habana, one of the fastest players in international rugby, decided to take on the world's fastest land animal in 2007 as part of an event sponsored by a conservation group.
Habana is quick, but not Usain Bolt quick - running the 100m in 10.4 seconds at his best (compared with Bolt's 9.58 world record).
Still, the then 23-year-old, keen to raise awareness about the decline of the cheetah, fancied himself in with a chance.
But tempting the cheetah was a dangling leg of lamb, which it chased during the race as Habana, who was given a significant headstart, gave it all he had.
The end was close - but the cheetah just got over the line first. Habana asked for a re-run and was soundly beaten.
Filippo Magnini, a former world champ in the 100m freestyle, took on two dolphins in a pool near Rome in 2011.
Given the animals' clear advantage, the Italian only had to swim one length of the pool, while they had to swim two.
But that didn't make a difference and the man nicknamed 'Superpippo' was pipped at the post.
He said later that he fell "a bit in love" with Leah, one of the dolphins.
The black US track and field athlete won a string of victories at the 1936 Berlin Olympics in front of Adolf Hitler, who had been hoping for a games that would demonstrate the Aryan superiority he believed existed.
Owens later struggled financially back home in a country where racism remained rife and his sport was not professional.
To make money, he competed against racehorses in front of dazzled crowds.
He is said to have had the starting gun go off close to the horse, stunning it and allowing him to get away ahead (he also had a head start). Though this strategy worked most of the time, he didn't always win.
Later, more opportunities became available to Jesse Owens and, among other roles, he served as Ambassador of Sports under President Eisenhower.
NFL wide receiver Dennis Northcutt easily beat an ostrich named Thelma in 2009 for a TV show called Sport Science.
But in that initial race, a fence separated the pair, and it was obvious the animal wasn't giving it her best.
In a second race, this time inside the ostrich's enclosure, Dennis was soundly beaten, as the ostrich leapt away and he was left chasing it through the dust.
Paul Jefferies, 52, was found stabbed to death in his blood-splattered home in East Sussex in February.
Ben Bamford, 18, from South Street, Crowborough, went to Mr Jefferies' home to have sex with him and steal money to pay drug debts of about £400, Lewes Crown Court heard.
He is due to be sentenced on Wednesday.
Mr Jefferies' body was found in the kitchen of his house in Coggins Mill Lane, Mayfield, on 25 February, two days after he died.
He had suffered more than 40 injuries, including a slashed throat and partially severed thumb.
Bamford had denied murder, claiming he was protecting himself from Mr Jefferies after he had "come on to him".
During his defence, he said he "got on top of me" and carried on having sex with him after telling him to stop.
Bamford, who was then 17, said he tried to leave the house but found the door locked and a scuffle ensued.
He stabbed Mr Jefferies using three knives and candlesticks, inflicting more than 40 injuries, including a slash to his throat.
Bamford had met Mr Jefferies via Grindr about two years before the killing, when he was aged 15, and the pair resumed contact last December following a break.
Bamford was "desperate" for money to settle drugs debts and was being pressurised by a dealer, receiving texts from him on the day of Mr Jefferies murder.
He said had had hoped Mr Jefferies would give him money as he had done so in the past.
Sussex Police were called to the Grade II-listed cottage in Mayfield on 25 February following a call from an employer of Mr Jefferies who was concerned for his welfare.
They found his body covered with a towel in the kitchen.
He had significant head and neck injuries and there were signs of a struggle throughout the property but no forced entry.
Mr Jefferies had been killed two days before, and Bamford had locked the door of the cottage and fled in Mr Jefferies' car.
He headed to Eastbourne District General Hospital after meeting up with two friends where he was treated for a serious injury to his hand.
He told hospital staff he had self-harmed.
He was later transferred to the Queen Victoria Hospital, in East Grinstead, for surgery, where a friend took a photo of him lying in a hospital bed, smirking and flicking his middle finger up at the camera.
Bamford later told his mother: "I think I've killed somebody."
He handed himself him into Eastbourne police station on 27 February with his mother, stating that he been involved in a fight at an address in Mayfield.
Following the verdict Det Ch Insp Tanya Jones, who led the investigation, said: "This was a horrific attack by a teenage boy who preyed on his victim with the aim of exploiting him for money.
"The level of violence he inflicted on Paul Jefferies was extreme and then he fled the scene in his victim's car. He showed no remorse, smirking for a selfie photo just hours later."
Lisa Bahmani, from Hawick, was killed and two pensioners injured in the accident on the A68 St Boswells to Jedburgh Road on Wednesday.
Ms Bahmani was driving a Hyundai Getz which collided with a Suzuki Ignis.
The 71-year-old female driver of the Ignis is in a serious but stable condition at Borders General Hospital.
The 78-year-old man is being treated for a chest injury, however, it is not thought to be life-threatening.
Ms Bahmani's family issued a statement saying she was "a much-loved daughter, sister and friend".
It added: "She was a special loving girl who loved animals.
"Lisa will be sorely missed by all who knew her. We are grateful for all the messages of support."
The road near Lilliardsedge Caravan Park was closed for about 10 hours following the accident which happened at about 22:00.
Police Scotland have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
Sgt Neil Inglis said: "Tragically this collision has resulted in the death of a young woman and the driver of the other vehicle remains in a very serious condition in hospital.
"We are continuing with our investigation to establish the full circumstances surrounding this collision and would urge any motorists who were on the A68 at around 8pm on Wednesday 13 April to contact us immediately if they witnessed the incident.
"In addition, anyone with any further information relevant to this inquiry should also get in touch."
Augustus Sol Invictus admits he "sacrificed" the animal as part of a pagan ritual, but it was not "sadistic" as some of his critics have alleged.
The Libertarian Party candidate is unlikely to win the seat.
Adrian Wyllie, the state party's chairman, has resigned to draw attention to Invictus' candidacy.
In 2013, Invictus walked from central Florida to the Mojave Desert and spent a week there fasting. When he returned to Florida, he killed the goat to give thanks.
"I did sacrifice a goat. I know that's probably a quibble in the mind of most Americans," he told the Associated Press news agency.
"I sacrificed an animal to the god of the wilderness ... Yes, I drank the goat's blood."
Mr Wyllie said Invictus holds extreme views and brutally dismembered the goat.
"He's a self-proclaimed fascist. He's promoting a second civil war," Mr Wyllie said. "This guy has no place in the Libertarian Party."
Mr Wyllie, who unsuccessfully ran as a Libertarian for the governor of Florida last year, fears the Invictus campaign will stunt the party's recent gains.
Invictus called Mr Wyllie's allegations a "smear campaign". He said although white supremacists support his candidacy, he is not a racist.
The 32-year-old lawyer changed his name to the Latin phrase that means "majestic unconquered sun". He declined to tell a reporter his old name.
Forward Ajose, 24, is Swindon's top scorer with 22 goals in 36 league games this season, having arrived following his release by Leeds in September.
Iraq midfielder Kasim, 24, has also been linked with a move to other clubs.
Asked if he was planning for life without Ajose and Kasim, Williams admitted: "Yes, I think that's a sensible way to think."
He added: "Nick has scored so many goals, I think any club would be interested in a man who can put the ball in the back of the net that many times.
"It's beyond me that Yaser is still playing League One football. I can't find the reason. I'm struggling to find (flaws) in his game.
"It's highly likely that Yaser will play either Premier League football or Championship football next season.
"All the boys are ambitious and they should want to play at the next step. To try too hard to try to persuade them to stay is probably the wrong way to do things.
"I don't like to try to stand in the way of a player's progression, once a player has got that in their mind that they're desperate to go and play elsewhere."
Swindon's survival in the third tier was secured on Saturday as they beat Chesterfield, and they now face Rochdale and Shrewsbury in their final two games of the season.
"We've got a chance to look at some players who we're maybe not 100% sure what level they're at, but we can allow them to show us," Williams told BBC Wiltshire.
"We will try to work on a few different things in training and see if there could be an interesting angle for us to experiment with next season.
"There are very few occasions in football when you have the luxury to try something."

Murray was drawn in the same quarter as Roger Federer - meaning the pair could face each other in the last eight.
Murray is chasing a fourth Grand Slam title of his career and his first in Melbourne, where he has reached the final five times.
Britain's word number 10 Johanna Konta will face Kirsten Flipkens from Belgium.
Konta's draw places her in the same quarter as Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova and American champion Serena Williams.
Defending champion Novak Djokovic will be aiming for a record seventh Australian Open title with a first round match against Fernando Verdasco.
If Murray can safely find a way through his first ever week as a top seed at a Grand Slam, then he may have the chance to avenge last year's US Open quarter-final defeat to Kei Nishikori.
But Roger Federer may have something to say about that. Now seeded 17, after six months out through injury, the 17-time Grand Slam champion is in Nishikori's section of the draw.
All the British men will face opening round opponents outside the world's top 50, but the women have a tougher draw.
Kirsten Flipkens brings the experience of a Wimbledon semi-final into her match with Johanna Konta, while Heather Watson and Naomi Broady must both face seeded Australians.
Sam Stosur has a very poor record in front of her home fans, however, which should give Watson cause for optimism.
Spain's Verdasco knocked his compatriot Rafa Nadal out in the opening round last year, but went on to lose to Djokovic in their recent clash at the Qatar Open.
Nadal, seeded ninth, will play German Florian Mayer before a possible quarter-final against Canadian Milos Raonic.
In the women's draw, Williams is aiming for her 23rd grand professional slam title.
Her first match will be against Swiss Belinda Bencic.
Defending champion Angelique Kerber will play 61st-ranked Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko.
World number one Kerber is aiming for her third Grand Slam win following her maiden US Open title last year.
At the Sydney International on Thursday, Konta had a 6-2 6-2 win over Eugenie Bouchard.

Analysis of wood used to build the settlement suggests it was only lived in for a short time before it was destroyed.
Despite this, archaeologists said the site gives an "exquisitely detailed" insight into everyday Bronze Age life.
Evidence of fine fabric-making, varied diets and vast trading networks has been found during the 10-month dig.
The level of preservation at the site, in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, has been compared to that seen at Pompeii, a Roman city buried by ash when Vesuvius erupted in AD 79.
At least five circular houses raised on stilts above the East Anglian fens have been found.
David Gibson, of the Cambridge Archaeological Unit, University of Cambridge, said the site allowed researchers to "visit in exquisite detail everyday life in the Bronze Age".
"Domestic activity within structures is demonstrated from clothing to household objects, to furniture and diet," he said.
"These dwellings have it all, the complete set, it's a 'full house'.
What the excavation reveals:
BBC History - Bronze Age Britain
BBC Bitesize - What was Bronze Age life like?
After the fire, the buildings sank into a river which has helped preserve them.
Evidence, including tree-ring analysis of the oak structures, has suggested the circular houses were still new and had only been lived in for a few months.
The homes were, however, well equipped with pots of different sizes, wooden buckets and platters, metal tools, saddle querns (stone tools for grinding grains), weapons, textiles, loom weights and glass beads.
Archaeologists say beads found at the site originally came from the Mediterranean or Middle East.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said: "This has transformed our knowledge of Bronze Age Britain.
"Over the past 10 months, Must Farm has given us an extraordinary window into how people lived 3,000 years ago.
"Now we know what this small but wealthy Bronze Age community ate, how they made their homes and where they traded.
"Archaeologists and scientists around the world are learning from Must Farm and it's already challenged a number of longstanding perceptions."
Must Farm was named best discovery at the 2016 British Archaeological Awards.

Various factors make it "incredibly difficult" for some inmates on Imprisonment for Public Protection sentences to find such proof, he said.
He wants new criteria for freeing IPP prisoners in England and Wales.
The Ministry of Justice said the suggestion had been "taken on board".
IPP sentences were introduced by Labour in 2005 as a way of stopping the release of dangerous prisoners.
But courts were banned from imposing any more IPP sentences in 2012 amid concerns they were being used to hold people for periods which their original offence did not warrant.
In March, 4,133 IPP prisoners continued to be detained, the majority of whom had been convicted of "violence against the person", sexual offences or robbery.
The Parole Board can approve a prisoner's release after the minimum term - the "punishment" part of their sentence - but only if it is satisfied it is not necessary to hold the inmate in the interests of public protection.
It means the prisoner has to prove they do not present a risk and can be safely managed in the community.
In March, about 80% of IPP prisoners - 3,347 - had already served their minimum term but were still locked up.
In his first interview since taking up his post in March, Prof Hardwick told the BBC that procedural delays, problems accessing offending behaviour courses and finding suitable accommodation made it "incredibly difficult" for some IPP prisoners to prove that it was safe for them to be let out.
"Some of them are stuck, festering, in prison long after the punishment part of the sentence," he said.
Ministry of Justice figures show more than 500 IPP prisoners given tariffs of less than two years were still in prison five or more years later.
"Once it gets to that point, they stop making progress and they start going backwards," said Prof Hardwick.
"So this is, I think, a blot on the justice system and I'm very keen we can do something about it."
He said Liz Truss, the new justice secretary, should consider activating Section 128 of the Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012.
The clause allows the justice secretary to alter the test which the Parole Board has to apply when releasing prisoners.
Both houses of Parliament would have to agree to the change, but fresh legislation would not be required.
"There are legislative options that will enable us to change the risk test so it's more about 'is there proof that they're dangerous rather than proof that they're safe?' and there are some other measures that can be taken... to try to cut into that group," Prof Hardwick said.
The former Chief Inspector of Prisons said there were three categories of IPP inmate who would benefit most: Those on very short tariffs but still in custody; prisoners held beyond the maximum sentence for the offence they had committed; and offenders who were too frail or elderly to pose a danger.
The Parole Board is also trying to cut the backlog of prisoners awaiting decisions on their release, by hiring more parole panel members and dealing with cases more efficiently.
Prof Hardwick said it was "crazy" to be paying out compensation to inmates held in custody because their cases were delayed due to a lack of resources.
In 2015-16, there were 463 damages claims lodged, five times the number the previous year, with £554,000 paid out in compensation, compared to £144,000 the year before.
"It's not a good use of taxpayers' money," Prof Hardwick said.
"It would be much better to put the money into ensuring that the system is working efficiently so that people get dealt with fairly and get out when they're supposed to and when the courts intended."
The Ministry of Justice said: "The chair of the Parole Board has made a number of recommendations to improve the parole system and reduce the backlog of IPP prisoners.
"Work is ongoing within the department to address these issues and his recommendations have been taken on board".
The 39 children from St Patrick's Primary School received praise from the judges for their performance of Katy Perry's hit song Roar.
This was despite the choir having to restart their performance after a technical issue.
Singer Kyle Tomlinson and magicians DNA were voted through to the final.
The choir - made up of pupils from eight to 12 - won through to the semi-finals after auditions during Saturday night's episode on ITV.
After completing the song, St Patrick's were praised by judge Simon Cowell for their "calm" in the face of technical difficulties.
"I know the chaos that was going up in the gallery, where they direct the show, when this going wrong and you were so calm.
"You sounded amazing and you know what I love about you lot? I love your personalities."
David Walliams said it was a "fantastic performance" and that all the members were "singing with passion".
Alesha Dixon said the choir should be "extremely proud" while Amanda Holden added that the choir "represented your school brilliantly".
The choir was previously named BBC Radio Ulster School Choir of the Year in 2016.
"Weirdly enough, the label preferred my recordings to [the producer] I'd been recording with," he told the BBC.
"It wasn't my choice, it was their choice - so they [the demos] must be ok. I've been mixing them and making them sound real sharp and real nice."
The singer had previously been in the studio with Beastie Boys star Mike D.
However, he did not confirm whether it was those sessions the label rejected.
The Nottingham-born musician was speaking at Westminster, where he was supporting a music industry campaign, calling for the BBC's music services to be protected from cuts.
Bugg said he owed his career to the BBC, which championed his music after he sent a track to his local station's BBC Introducing programme.
"It's a big thing," he said. "It's about supporting young, unsigned talent. It helped me a lot and I wanted to show my support."
The star played two songs to an audience which included Sam Smith, Sandie Shaw, members of Pink Floyd and the Kaiser Chiefs, as well as record industry figures and the All Party Parliamentary group on Music.
One of them was a new track, possibly titled Lonesome, which featured lyrics about his upbringing as "a poor boy from Nottingham" and playing "400 shows in three years".
"That's the first time I've played that song," he said. "It's very bluesy - it's only two chords, as well."
Although the song is autobiographical, Bugg said the rest of the album would "not necessarily" follow suit.
"That's what everyone would expect me to write about - but that song kind of wrote itself. The other songs on the album have different lyrical content. I think it's good to mix it up."
Bugg's last album, 2013's Shangri La, was produced by rock legend Rick Rubin and reached number three in the UK charts.
He said work was still continuing on the follow-up and "I want to see how things go".
A study, published on the BMJ website, followed 244 children between the ages of three and seven.
It said more sleep was linked to a lower weight, which could have important public health consequences.
UK experts said there was "no harm" in drawing attention to the link between reduced sleep and ill health.
The children were seen every six months when their weight, height and body fat were measured. Their sleeping habits and physical-activity levels were recorded at ages three, four and five.
The researchers found that those children who had less sleep in their earlier years were at greater risk of having a higher Body Mass Index at age seven.
This link continued even when other risk factors, such as gender and physical activity, were accounted for in their research.
Suggested reasons for the link include simply having more time to eat and changes to hormones affecting appetite.
In an accompanying analysis, Professors Francesco Cappuccio and Michelle Miller, from the University of Warwick, said future research should "explore and validate new behavioural, non-drug based, methods to prolong children's and adults' sleeping time.
"In the meantime it would do no harm to advise people that a sustained curtailment of sleeping time might contribute to long-term ill health in adults and children."
Dr Ian Maconochie, from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health said: "Children under five generally average at least 11 hours sleep at night and in daytime naps.
"However, 20% of children at this age experience problems sleeping, and we already know that inadequate sleep has a significant impact on attention, memory, behaviour, and school performance. This paper is a useful addition to our knowledge of children's sleep patterns."
Qatar's PM Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani said "providing arms may be the only means of achieving peace".
The group also condemned the Syrian government for its use of Iranian and Hezbollah fighters.
More than 90,000 people have died in more than two years of conflict.
The Syrian government says it is fighting foreign-backed "terrorists".
The Friends of Syria group includes the US, Britain, France and Germany as well as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan.
Its joint statement said the members had agreed to "provide urgently all necessary materiel and equipment to the opposition on the ground, each country in its own way in order to enable them to counter brutal attacks by the regime and its allies".
Support would be channelled through the Western-backed rebel military command.
The group also called on the immediate withdrawal of Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian fighters from Syria.
The meeting in Qatar's capital, Doha, comes a week after the US announced it would provide Syrian rebels with "direct military aid".
That decision followed what the US said was evidence of small-scale chemical weapon attacks by the government.
The Friends of Syria group was set up in response to moves by Russia and China to block UN resolutions on Syria.
On Saturday, the Qatari PM said that "failure to reach an agreement in the UN Security Council will not stop us moving forward".
He said that moral support for the rebels was not sufficient, adding: "A balance must be achieved on the ground so the regime can accept negotiations."
The group's statement did not mention the specifics of the support that would be provided.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said again that the Syrian government had crossed a line in using chemical weapons
But he insisted that the decision to provide military support to the rebels was "not to seek a military solution" but to give the rebels more power in negotiating an end to the conflict.
Mr Kerry said the group was still pushing for a peace conference in Geneva between the two opposing sides in Syria.
But he said Mr Assad had responded to the calls for a conference by bringing in Iranian and Hezbollah fighters to confront the rebels.
"That is a very, very dangerous development,'' he said. "Hezbollah is a proxy for Iran... Hezbollah in addition to that is a terrorist organisation."
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said: "We have been talking about how we can help the opposition, how we can help save lives. Different countries will have different ways of doing that.
"We have to cooperate and we have to coordinate as much as possible to try to save the lives of innocent people in Syria."
He said again that the UK government had taken no decision to arm the rebels.
The rebels have suffered a series of military setbacks recently.
But on Friday, they said they had received new weapons that could lead to "changes" in the civil war.
A spokesman for the rebel Free Syrian Army said they had not come from the US.
"We've received quantities of new types of weapons, including some that we asked for and that we believe will change the course of the battle on the ground," FSA spokesman Louay Muqdad told AFP news agency.
On the ground in Syria on Saturday, government forces were reported to have stepped up their attacks on rebel positions north of the capital, Damascus.
The pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported activists as saying there had been heavy shelling in a number of districts.
But the rebels said they had declared a new offensive of their own in the northern city Aleppo, the last major rebel stronghold.
They are attempting to capture government-held areas in the west of the city, Syria's largest.
Elmbridge council said the area was placed under 24-hour police guard for five days from when it received the alert to when the hazardous material was safely removed.
The 28 rusting drums were found in a suburban garage in the north of Elmbridge borough, the council said.
They contained a sodium cyanide mixture that can become explosive when wet.
The council, which has just revealed details of the operation, has not said how the drums were discovered or where they were.
The alert came on 22 October, with the drums removed last Sunday and Monday.
Councillor Glenn Dearlove said the removal of the drums, which contained 1.5 tonnes of chemicals, was "a significant task" because of the number of the containers, the nature of the waste and the age of the drums.
He said there was no threat to residents nearby because the chemicals were in a stable environment, but he said it was imperative they were removed quickly and safely.
The landowner was responsible for the removal and disposal of waste and would meet the cost of the operation, he added.

Both phones have 5.7in (14.5cm) screens and are going on sale earlier in the year than their previous generations.
The launches follow five successive falls in Samsung Electronics' quarterly profits.
Analysts say the popularity of mid-range phones from Chinese rivals, and Apple's shift to bigger iPhones, have dented demand for Samsung's devices.
The BBC's New York Business Correspondent Michelle Fleury went hands on with the new devices at the launch event.
After a tough childhood in London, which included time in a workhouse, Chaplin went on to become one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
In later life, he holidayed with his family in Nairn on the Moray Firth.
Writer Stuart Price believes Nairn and its setting offered Chaplin greater relief than more glamorous boltholes.
The musical written by Price, Chaplin - The Charlie Chaplin Story, is touring UK theatres. The cast includes Steven Arnold, who played Ashley Peacock in Coronation Street.
Next month, the production will be at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness, just 16 miles from Nairn.
Chaplin, who is best known as a silent movie actor and director, took his family on holidays to Nairn and stayed in the town's Newton Hotel.
Price and the musical's composer, Jake Field, visited the Highland town during their Chaplin story research work, which also took them to the film star's international hideaways in France and Switzerland.
The writer said: "I was aware of Chaplin's visits to Scotland.
"Jake and I wrote sections of this musical in France and Switzerland, visiting Lausanne and Nice on writing breaks, which gave us a chance to take in the scenery, wine and chocolate.
"We also visited Scotland and sadly only had a brief Saturday morning in Nairn.
"The peace Charlie clearly found in Switzerland and Scotland helped me to form a sense of relief for him to be away from the pressure, so it was inspiring without doubt."
But Price added: "Though France had the grapes and Suisse had the sweets, for me Scotland outshone both in pure natural beauty, and I'm sure visiting was a very special treat for Charlie.
"I like to imagine the peace he felt there. The calm and the rest."
Chaplin had his fair share of troubles to try to find relief from. His childhood has been described as "Dickensian", while his movie career involved the pressures of working in showbusiness.
Arnold, who plays Chaplin's brother Sydney and Harry Weldon, a music hall comedian who worked with Chaplin, said: "Charlie and Sydney had a really rough upbringing as kids.
"Their childhood meant they had a very close relationship and, after some time being apart, they got together again in America.
"Sydney was the one person who could get away with talking to Charlie the way he did - telling him the truth. They had a great mutual respect for each other.
"Weldon, another role I play, and Chaplin did not see eye to eye at all. I think Weldon was very jealous of Chaplin and the two of them would fight."
Price added: "As a child from the streets Charlie only knew how to fight, which is what made him so successful and often, so isolated.
"His gift, like many, was a curse also. Being an artist is often like being chained to a relentless madman. Ask my wife.
"But it also takes you on incredible journeys in to other people's lives and getting to know about Chaplin has changed me forever."
Never knowingly off message, Alun Cairns threw a couple of random references to "strong and stable leadership" during the first five minutes of Welsh questions, the last one before the general election.
He also praised "two Welsh stars", one of whom finished more than an hour ahead of the secretary of state in the London Marathon. "Josh Griffiths of the Swansea Harriers was the first Briton to cross the finishing line at the London marathon at the weekend. In particular, I want to pay tribute to Matthew Rees, who helped a fellow runner during the closing stages of the marathon."
But Welsh questions was more like Brexit question time as opposition MPs queued up to highlight the risks for Welsh farmers and industry of Wales leaving the European Union.
Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards asked: "Why doesn't he come clean today and admit that it is the intention of the Tories to sell Welsh producers down the river in order to open up markets for the bankers of London?"
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Williams added: "Is it not obvious that 40% tariffs would destroy Welsh agriculture?"
And shadow Wales Office Minister Gerald Jones accused the government of being prepared "to play fast and loose with the Welsh economy, with an extreme Tory vision of Brexit that would put Welsh jobs and livelihoods at risk".
Alun Cairns said he didn't recognise the premise of the question. "We want the freest, most open trading agreement, and it seems to me that the real investors, who are creating real jobs, are taking us towards our ambition."
His Labour shadow Christina Rees wanted to know about progress on projects in the last Conservative manifesto. "Is there any chance of progress on the electrification of the Great Western Railway to Swansea, the north Wales growth plan and the HS2 hub in Crewe before purdah kicks in?"
Wales Office Minister Guto Bebb sidestepped the rail electrification question but said there had been a meeting on the HS2 hub on Tuesday.
Purdah actually began on April 22 but with an election imminent, a commitment to electrification - and the Swansea tidal lagoon, which also featured - are legitimate questions for all parties hoping to form a government next month.
Welsh questions was followed by prime minister's questions, with campaign slogans embraced so keenly by Conservative MPs they made Alun Cairns look potentially lukewarm in his endorsement of Theresa May.
Newport West Labour MP Paul Flynn was so concerned he raised a point of order with Speaker John Bercow, telling him: "You and I are familiar with the syndrome of pre-election tension that afflicts this place. You are concerned for the wellbeing of Members....but I believe that what we have seen today is a sudden outbreak of parliamentary Tourette's.
"The rumour is that something known as a "Crosby chip" has been implanted in the brains of Conservative Members that compels them to say "strong and stable" every 18 seconds and "coalition of chaos" every 38 seconds. Can we inquire into whether the affliction is permanent or one that can be cured?"
Having listened to a six-minute Radio Wales interview with Theresa May, and lost count of the "strong and stable" references, I fear there may be no cure. But then politicians say that it is only when they are fed up spouting the slogans that voters are starting to hear them.
Eleanor Alberga said the classical music world is "not very inclusive and I suspect there are wider issues here, like unconscious racism and class".
Jamaica-born Alberga said most of her commissions came for projects with a "racial agenda" such as slavery.
She was speaking at a conference on diversity organised by BBC Radio 3.
"I think most composers tend to feel left out, and even white composers do get left out," she told the conference in Manchester.
"However the classical music world is not very inclusive and I suspect there are wider issues here, like unconscious racism and class.
"The perception of black music as jazz or reggae or coming from a roots background is still with us and probably leads to a hesitancy or even condescension in welcoming black people as part of the classical music family."
Alberga has written for the Royal Philharmonic, the London Philharmonic and the Mozart Players, and her work Arise, Athena! opened last year's Last Night of the Proms.
But she said when she is commissioned, "quite often an extra agenda is attached where I'm asked to write about slavery or to emphasise Afro-Caribbean influences in my music".
She continued: "One would like simply to be commissioned regularly without racial agendas - and not just for Black History Month.
"The powers that be must start to include all races on an ongoing basis. These powers could also entertain a broader concept of what a mainstream contemporary composer sounds and looks like so there isn't just an inner club of composers who get heard while others are effectively silenced."
The conference also heard from Vick Bain, chief executive of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.
She said just 6% of commissioned works that were submitted for the 2015 British Composer Awards came from black or minority ethnic (BAME) composers.
Research from 2013 showed that in 90% of cases, composers were commissioned by artistic directors or through other personal networks, rather than through open processes.
"We know from research that the reliance on such networks disadvantages women as well as working class and black and minority ethnic workers," Bain said.
Susanna Eastburn, chief executive of charity Sound & Music, added that "the system is somehow weighted against diversity and against the encouragement of diversity, so we think that interventions are necessary".
Another composer, Daniel Kidane, recounted how a recent book on composers had included none from minority ethnic groups.
"There is still a sense of them and us," he said. "I spoke to the publisher and the author of this book that had no BAME composers in it and unfortunately these mindsets need to be eradicated."
Composer Priti Paintal advocated introducing quotas for organisations like the BBC and Arts Council England to ensure minorities were fairly represented.
"It's a way of looking at whether you're actually tackling it from within the organisation," she said. "Because if you haven't done it, the question is, why haven't you done it? What do you do about bringing that in?
"Unless you have definites like that, it's going to be hard for a movement of this sort to take place."
Radio 3 controller and former Arts Council England chief executive Alan Davey did not comment on Paintal's suggestion of quotas, but did announce several measures designed to improve representation on the station.
They include expanding Radio 3's musical canon to be "more representative and to feature unjustly neglected composers" and reappraising its commissioning process.
"If we as an industry can all pledge to make at least one change in how we do things, then we stand to make a real difference," Mr Davey said.
"I am proud to commit to changes at our end as a leading commissioner and promoter of classical music and look forward to seeing others take the first steps towards what I hope will be lasting change."
Radio 3's Music Matters was recorded at the conference for broadcast at 12:15 BST on Saturday.
Also known as "Dr Wa'il", he was minister of information for IS, and oversaw the production of propaganda videos showing executions.
The Pentagon said the strike had taken place near Raqqa on 7 September.
Fayad was a close associate of IS strategist Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, who was killed in an air strike last month.
"The removal of ISIL's senior leaders degrades its ability to retain territory, and its ability to plan, finance, and direct attacks inside and outside of the region," Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said in a statement, using an alternative name for IS.
"We will continue to work with our coalition partners to build momentum in the campaign to deal ISIL a lasting defeat."
Mr Cook said Fayad had also been a member of the IS leadership group, the Shura Council.
Earlier this week, the Pentagon said the chief propagandist for IS - Abu Mohamed al-Adnani - had been killed in an air strike in northern Syria last month.
He was one of the IS group's most high-profile figures with a $5m (£3.8m) bounty on his head.
The US said he had "co-ordinated the movement of Isil [IS] fighters, directly encouraged lone-wolf attacks on civilians and members of the military and actively recruited" new members.
Hezbollah said Ali Hussein Nassif was buried in the Bekaa valley on Monday and had been killed "performing his jihadist duty", but did not say where.
Rebels said Nassif and several of his men had been killed in an ambush by the Free Syrian Army. Other reports said they had died in clashes on the border.
There has been no confirmation that he was Hezbollah's commander in Syria.
The US has accused Hezbollah of "providing training, advice, and extensive logistical support" to the Syrian government, an allegation the group has denied.
Lebanese officials also believe members of Hezbollah's military wing, the Islamic Resistance, are fighting in the Syrian conflict, citing as evidence a number of quiet burials of "martyrs" in Hezbollah-dominated areas.
"Hezbollah has been active in supporting the Syrian regime with their own militia," one official allied to a political bloc opposed to Hezbollah told the Washington Post last week. "They've been quite involved in a combat role, quite involved in fighting."
Obituaries for Hezbollah fighters have begun to appear in Lebanese newspapers, without the circumstances of the deaths being explained.
However, after another senior Hezbollah military commander, Musa Ali Shahimi, was reportedly killed fighting in Syria in August, there was a public funeral attended by two Hezbollah MPs in the capital, Beirut.
As with Ali Nassif, the pro-Hezbollah news website, al-Intiqad, reported only that Shahimi had "died while performing his jihadist duty".
According to Syrian activists and the rebel Free Syrian Army, Nassif was travelling in a car near the Syrian border town of al-Qusair at the weekend when a roadside bomb was detonated nearby. It is not clear whether he was killed by the blast or in an ensuing gunfight.
However, sources in Baalbek - the main town in the Bekaa valley - told the Reuters news agency that Nassif and two other Hezbollah members were killed when a rocket hit a building in which they were staying.
A security official told the Associated Press that Nassif's body was returned to Lebanon through the Masnaa border crossing on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah's al-Manar TV, and the pro-Syrian regime Lebanese newspaper al-Diyar, have both reported that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has ordered thousands more troops sent to the northern city of Aleppo to finish the battle against rebels there.
Al-Diyar said Mr Assad was flown to Aleppo by helicopter and was personally directing the campaign, thought that has not been confirmed.
In a separate development, the UN's refugee agency said the number of Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries had reached 311,500.
"Many refugees and the communities hosting them are already running out of resources," UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards told reporters.
Last week, the UN and other humanitarian agencies launched an appeal for $487m (£301m) to help up to 710,000 Syrians who they estimate will have fled to Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, the US has played down the significance of video footage that emerged on Monday purporting to show the missing US freelance journalist Austin Tice being held by a group of masked men.
State department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the video might have been staged and officials believed Mr Tice was being held by the Syrian government. Mr Tice disappeared near Damascus in mid-August.
Russia has urged Nato and regional powers not to seek any pretexts for military intervention in Syria.
Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said Moscow opposed the creation of humanitarian corridors or buffer zones to protect civilians. He also called for calm along the border between Turkey and Syria.
On Tuesday, Turkish troops fired across the border into the north-eastern Syrian province of Hasaka, killing a Kurdish militiaman and wounding two others, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The activist group said the Kurds were members of the Popular Protection Units (YPG), a militia close to the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), which the Turkish government has accused of being a front for the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

The 32-year-old led 7-2 overnight but Milkins won the first four frames of the day.
But the 2014 champion hit back, his famed matchplay helping him win the next three frames to seal victory.
Selby said: "Rob played some great snooker. But I knew he would let his arm go at 7-2 down."
Four-time Crucible champion John Higgins wasted no time in crushing Welshman Ryan Day 10-3, the Scot rattling off three frames in a row after losing the opener to set up a last-16 meeting with Ricky Walden.
And Northern Ireland's Mark Allen won five frames in a row as he recovered from 2-1 down to take a 6-3 lead against debutant Mitchell Mann in the other afternoon match.
Earlier, a high-quality game saw Nottingham qualifier Michael Holt establish a 6-3 lead over 2010 world champion Neil Robertson.
A brilliant 140 clearance helped Holt race into a 3-0 lead against the Australian world number four, who responded by hitting two consecutive tons to level.
But Holt, who has often talked of his mental struggles on the big stage, recovered with a nerveless 115 and also took the next two frames.

Selby said his decision to pull out of the past two tournaments was taken to enhance his Crucible challenge.
But he admitted he was not at his best as breaks of 50, 61 and 62 helped Milkins, the world number 21, move to within a frame at 7-6 down.
"You have to give credit to Rob for the way he came out. He put me under pressure," said Selby.
"At 7-6 it got a little bit twitchy because it was not as if he got back to 7-6 playing scrappy snooker. He was scoring fluently and playing well.
"I have missed a couple of tournaments and felt a lot fresher, but I was not as match sharp. I didn't want to come into this tournament fatigued, so there were plusses and negatives."

Holt and Robertson play to a conclusion on Tuesday evening, with world number 11 Barry Hawkins facing China's Zhang Anda in the other match.
So news that former high-profile hacker Adrian Lamo had turned over an Army intelligence analyst to authorities was met with derision by some.
"A lot of people have labelled me a snitch," Mr Lamo told BBC News. "I guess I deserve that on this one but not as a generality."
"This was a very hard decision for me."
Mr Lamo is a former hacker, who exposed security flaws at the New York Times, Yahoo and Microsoft. After a brief stint hiding from the FBI, Mr Lamo was imprisoned and fined. He now works as a journalist and security analyst.
Mr Lamo says that he was responsible for reporting Specialist (SPC) Brad Manning to the military authorities after the analyst boasted to him that he had handed over thousands of classified documents and classified military video to whistle-blower site Wikileaks.
One video posted to the site shows a US Apache helicopter killing up to 12 people - including two Reuters journalists - during an attack in Baghdad in 2007. Two children were also seriously injured in the attack. Some of the men were armed.
Mr Manning, 22, reportedly acquired the video during the course of his work at a US Military field base FOB Hammer, on the outskirts of Baghdad.
US intelligence analyst arrested
Mr Lamo said that he did not suspect anything unusual when Mr Manning contacted him over instant messenger and e-mail.
"I'm contacted on a daily basis by all kinds of people who confess to all kinds of federal crimes," he said.
"I have never once turned them in, even when the FBI offered me a deal."
However, after Mr Manning confessed to distributing the documents, Mr Lamo said that his stance changed and he "felt the need to contact investigators".
"At the moment he gave me the information, it was basically a suicide pact."
"I was worried for my family - that if I were obstructing justice that they could be caught up in any investigation," he said.
"I wanted to do this one by the book, by the numbers. I didn't want any more FBI agents knocking at the door."
Mr Lamo also said that he had decided to report Mr Manning for reasons of national security.
Instead of going straight to the authorities, Mr Lamo disclosed the information to "a friend" who had worked as an agent in the Army counter intelligence unit.
"He put me in touch with some of his former colleagues who he felt could handle the issue in a low key way," he said.
Who are WikiLeaks?
Four agents - from different federal and military agencies - turned up at his house to read the conversation logs - from his e-mail and instant messenger conversations with Mr Manning - "one by one", he added.
"I gave them conversation logs that implicated Special Agent Manning.
"They were particularly interested in a code word for a major operation."
Mr Lamo also described how Mr Manning had supposedly obtained the documents.
"He described the process of operational security in detail," said Mr Lamo.
"What he described was a culture of insecurity with poor attention to information.
"The field base didn't have significant security."
He said that Mr Manning would download the documents from a room that needed a unique security code to access it. However, security on the base had slipped, he said.
"He said you'd knock on the door and they'd let you in."
Mr Lamo said that Mr Manning would take a CD labelled Lady Gaga into the room which he would load into a computer.
"Basically he sat down and started burning data to the CD whilst pretending to be bopping along."
Mr Manning would then upload the documents to Wikileaks servers, which are held in various countries around the world and anonymise the source.
Wikileaks has not confirmed Mr Manning as the source of the video and has said it never collects personal information on sources. It said that it has not been sent 260,000 classified US embassy cables that Mr Manning reportedly leaked to the site.
Wikileaks also questions Mr Lamo's credibility.
However, the US military has confirmed that Mr Manning has been detained on suspicion of leaking classified documents and video. He is being held "in pre-trial confinement" in Kuwait.
"I want to be proud of it but I can't bring myself to be. I keep thinking about what it was like being 22, alone and not knowing about my future," said Mr Lamo.
"Knowing that I did that to somebody - it hurts. I feel like I should be talking to a priest."
He said he had been placed in a situation where "an impossible decision had to be made".
"I hope that Manning gets the same chance as I did - the same chance to take his punishment as I did and start a new life as I did."
"I like to think I prevented him from getting into more serious trouble."
After a month-long ceasefire, there were hopes this summit could bring a breakthrough in the peace process. But Russia's latest military intervention, this time in Syria, threatens to overshadow the event.
Just as when Russia annexed Crimea and backed armed insurgents in eastern Ukraine, the West is once again worrying about President Vladimir Putin's motives and the consequences.
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande will both have the chance to question Mr Putin directly on his Syria strategy on Friday, when they sit down separately ahead of the main summit.
These are his first international encounters since ordering air strikes against so-called Islamic State (IS) in Syria - Russia's most dramatic intervention in the Middle East in decades.
Struggling to handle a flood of refugees from the region, the Europeans may want to know what Russian intervention might achieve in Syria, and how wide its scope is.
They could also get a feel for what Russia might expect in return, including perhaps a softening of the sanctions imposed over Ukraine.
And there's bound to be talk about avoiding overlap and accidents with other aircraft flying sorties over Syria, including those belonging to France.
The Ukraine conflict agenda clearly risks being sidelined.
And yet there have been signs of significant progress lately, indications that all sides favour a peace deal.
Kiev and the pro-Moscow rebels finally agreed to withdraw more weapons from the front line, in a move that one senior rebel politician described as "the end of the war".
And critically, the latest ceasefire is the longest and least-violated to date.
"The decrease in military violence gives a cautious chance for a peaceful resolution," believes Sergei Markedonov of the Russian International Affairs Council.
"After two, three, four months' break, it would be harder to restart hostilities. That's why it's very important. I think it will give a chance to move to the second stage of negotiations."
Agreeing "special status" for the rebel-held parts of eastern Ukraine is just one unresolved, contentious issue, in the 13-point peace plan approved at the last international summit in February.
The next immediate flashpoint is local elections, scheduled for later this month. Kiev will not recognise the vote, called by rebel leaders in violation of Ukraine's constitution.
If those elections go ahead, European diplomats suggest the entire peace deal will be in jeopardy.
But in a key sign of shifting priorities, the Ukraine crisis hardly airs on Russian state TV now. It once dominated coverage, wall-to-wall. War correspondents who filed exclusively from eastern Ukraine have been redeployed to the Syrian frontline.
And talk of recreating "Novorossiya" - a Russian-controlled swathe of land sweeping down to Odessa - has stopped.
The Kremlin's latest project has been dubbed "Novorossiriya" instead, and hours of chat on state TV have been devoted to extolling Russia's intervention in support of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
The Kremlin knows it has to convince Russians that Syria is a worthy cause. So it proclaims that the fight is all about tackling jihadists with IS.
"More than 2,000 people from Russia and the former USSR are engaged in Syrian hostilities," Sergei Markedonov says. "Imagine that part of them would return to Russia."
The concern is real. But security fears are clearly not the only motive at play here.
The Ukraine conflict left Russia increasingly isolated politically. President Putin clearly wants the world to engage with him again, and Syria is a tool for that.
He wants to show that Russia can be a partner against a common threat, not just a problem. True to form, he's trying to achieve that by force rather than persuasion.
About 20 UK personnel took part while embedded with US and Canadian forces.
MPs only approved action against IS in Iraq and the SNP's Alex Salmond said the Commons may have been misled.
Number 10 played down the revelations but Labour and the Lib Dems are calling for an explanation in Parliament.
The new Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron told Channel 4 News the involvement of UK personnel appears "at first sight to be a breach of democracy, of parliamentary procedure, and therefore a betrayal of the British people.
"For David Cameron to have sanctioned that, if it is as it appears, that is quite wrong and he will need to answer to the House and to the British people."
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon defended the exchange of troops, saying it was "standard operating practice" and had been "since the end of World War Two".
A Labour spokesperson said the programme to embed personnel with allies was "valuable" but the government "needs to be transparent" and the party would ask the Ministry of Defence to make a statement in the Commons on Monday.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defence confirmed the RAF personnel, including three pilots, flew intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and strike missions against IS.
UK pilots are not currently taking part in action in Syria, the MoD said, but personnel embedded with the US, French and Canadian armed forces had been authorised "to participate in coalition operations" and were under those forces' chain of command.
Only the US and Canada are operating in Syrian airspace, it added.
David Cameron's spokeswoman said the prime minister knew that a small number of aircrew had been embedded and "what they were doing".
Why weren't we told?
That's the question troubling many MPs, not all of them on opposition benches.
They voted against British action in Syria two years ago. They were told their approval would be sought before any future air strikes in the country.
And yet news of Britons bombing Syria emerged not in the Commons but via a freedom of information request.
Few pilots were involved. They were under foreign command. None are flying the missions now.
But for a prime minister showing every sign of making plans for another vote on Syrian strikes this will have built no trust.
Ministers are highly likely to end up explaining themselves to the Commons, whether they want to or not.
What are 'embedded' military personnel?
The information emerged following a Freedom of Information request submitted by the human rights group Reprieve.
Alex Salmond, the SNP's foreign affairs spokesperson, said the government was "engaged in, at best, concealment and, at worst, the act of misleading parliament and people".
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's PM programme, he said: "There is a world of difference between exchange schemes between armed forces and putting the lives... of UK armed forces personnel at risk by taking part in combat operation.
"What would happen if one of these pilots had been killed? Or captured."
Tory MP John Baron, who opposed British action in Iraq, also called for ministers to come to the Commons to explain the situation.
He said: "We don't have at the moment parliamentary authority to carry out military airstrikes in Syria, but the Americans do and they've been doing that to keep all of us safe."
Mr Baron, who is a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, added: "When we're going to run British military strikes in Syria, of course we've said we'll go to Parliament for approval, but this is different."
But Crispin Blunt, Conservative MP and Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, said the 2013 vote on action in Syria was a "totally different decision" to the question of strikes on IS - and that that decision had not been undermined.
In 2013 MPs voted against military action to deter the use of chemical weapons by President Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria.
At the time, Prime Minister David Cameron said he would respect the defeat of the government motion by 285-272, and ruled out joining US-led strikes.
Sir Michael Graydon, former chief of the air staff, said the exchange programme had been happening for "many decades", and the government was right "not to make a huge issue of it".
Britain has already been carrying out surveillance and air-to-air refuelling operations over Syria.
Last month, the defence secretary urged MPs to consider backing air strikes on IS in Syria and said the extremists needed to be targeted "at source".
Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman has indicated her party would not oppose military action in Syria. as the case was different to the situation in 2013 when Labour voted against intervention.
Kent Police said the animals, which were all being walked by a minder, had been drinking from Brooklands Lake in Powder Mill Lane, Dartford.
The water has been "completely closed" to anglers and walkers while the Environment Agency runs tests.
The vets treating the dogs said algae poisoning was thought to be the cause. Police have ruled out foul play.
Parkvets surgery in Sidcup said blue-green algae produced a potential toxin at this time of year and throughout the summer.
"This means that water that was previously safe can suddenly become toxic," said vet Emily Brady.
"There are also serious health risks to humans who come into contact with infected water."
Initial symptoms, which include muscle tremors, vomiting, diarrhoea and seizures, can lead to death in as little as 15 minutes.
Lindsey Olney's six-month-old boxer puppy, Stanley, was one of the dogs which died.
Ms Olney, from Bexleyheath, dropped her pet off with a dog minder on Tuesday morning and said she was "devastated and heartbroken".
"They told me one of the other dogs started to have fits," she said.
"So they put all of the dogs into the car then my puppy started fitting as well.
"They gave him CPR and drove him to the vets. They had their stomachs pumped."
Dartford Borough Council leader Jeremy Kite said: "It is heartbreaking. Everyone knows how important dogs are to families.
"To lose one is appalling, to lose several in these circumstances is absolutely outrageous."
A spokesman for Kent Police said no criminal offences had been committed and the matter was being handled by the council and the Environment Agency.
"The lake will remain closed for a least a week... and police are asking people to avoid the area," he added.
The Environment Agency said water samples taken from the lake were being analysed in its laboratories and results were expected next week.
It said it would "continue to support our partners, including Dartford Borough Council and Kent Police, as they work to understand the potential risk."
Its officers have returned to the site to check on the lake and local wildlife.
Although it was not believed any fish had been harmed, fishing at the lake has been suspended.
People were also advised to stay away from the lake in 2013 when poisonous blue-green algae was found after a spell of hot and dry weather.
The Harlequins flanker is expected to be replaced as captain for the Six Nations, with Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley a leading contender.
Robshaw led England throughout previous head coach Stuart Lancaster's reign and in 42 of his 43 international caps.
"If Eddie decides to go to someone else I'd respect that decision and fully back the person who comes in," he said.
Robshaw, 29, met with Jones to discuss his international future on 6 December, shortly after the Australian was appointed as Lancaster's successor.
Yet Robshaw said he was still "not sure" about the England captaincy situation but would be "hugely honoured" if Jones, 55, asked him to continue.
Hartley was dropped for the recent World Cup after being banned for a head-butt and has been out of action for a number of weeks with concussion.
Former Japan coach Jones is also thought to be considering moving Robshaw to blind-side flanker rather than on the open-side, where he has won the vast majority of his caps.
"As a player you want to be part of that team and my mentality is to first and foremost make sure I'm part of that team," added Robshaw.
"That has to be the focus, to make sure I'm playing."
Robshaw added he was "hugely disappointed" by England's poor World Cup campaign where they failed to advance from the group stages after defeats by Wales and Australia.
"The World Cup didn't go according to plan, but it's still a very exciting group of players that England have," he said.
"Myself and a lot of the other guys, we had our mope and dip in confidence but now we're back and enjoying it."
Saturday's defeat at Manchester United confirmed the West Midlands club will drop into the second tier of English football for the first time since 1987.
Lescott said he hoped in the final four games "we can give these fans what they deserve - some performances".
But his remarks were called "selfish" and "insensitive" by some supporters.

Former Villa striker Stan Collymore, now a commentator for Talksport, said: "Why is it a weight off the shoulders, Joleon? It should hang on your shoulders.
"There's the Villa staff, there's real weight on their shoulders, people are getting made redundant that have been there 20 years and don't know where the next pay cheque is going to come from."
Lescott, who also came in for criticism for tweeting a picture of an expensive car after Villa were thrashed 6-0 by Liverpool in February, admitted a narrow defeat at Old Trafford could not paper over the cracks of a dismal campaign.
Villa's defeat to United was their ninth in a row in the league in a season punctuated by regular fan protests against the club's owner, Randy Lerner, and criticism of the players.
"We knew before the game what we had to do, but coming to Old Trafford is never easy no matter what situation you're in," said the 33-year-old.
"Throughout the game we showed a level of pride that there's probably not been enough of throughout the season.
"It's about results so regardless of how we played in patches today we are relegated. We need to find a way to get out of this run of defeats.
"Throughout the season we have given reasons for people to jump on us. It's a tough time at the minute."

Caretaker manager Eric Black is confident Villa can make a swift return to the top flight.
"We have players capable of playing in the Championship," said Black. "People in certain places will make sure Villa will come back, I'm confident of that and that process has to start now."
Black, who took over when Villa parted company with Remi Garde as manager in March after the Frenchman's 147 days in charge, added: "I would like to be part of it."
Only 18 teams from 67 relegated from the Premier League in 1992-93 have achieved promotion straight back into the top flight.
"The players are devastated," said Black. "It's been coming, we know that, but once the realisation that the R (for relegation) is against the side of your team, it is difficult.
"We have to ensure this fantastic football club goes back to where it should be and this never happens again."
Despite their catastrophic season, the 2015-16 Villa crop are not one of the worst two Premier League sides of all time. If they pick up four points in their final five games, they could finish fourth on the all-time worst Premier League teams list.
BBC Sport's Pat Murphy:
"You didn't have to be a latter-day Nostradamus to have seen this coming. For the past six seasons Villa have lurched between five managers and two chief executives - directionless, with no defined strategy as the owner Randy Lerner became more and more detached from the club.
"But make no mistake. Lerner still has the final say on funds until he finds a buyer. The revamped board and creation of a four-man football board is, on that basis, simply cosmetic. Key decisions via the football board chairman David Bernstein will go to the club board chairman Steve Hollis, who then has to look across the Atlantic to be sanctioned. Unwieldy and time-consuming, with the lifeblood of decision-making still coagulating.
"Would traditional managers like David Moyes, Nigel Pearson, Mick McCarthy or Steve Bruce want to be bothered by all that complexity? All they'd want is to establish a direct line with the owner to get decisions made swiftly. The calibre of the next chief executive will be vital, too.
"The appointment of a new manager is the biggest decision to be made at Villa Park since Graham Taylor breezed in 29 years ago, making it clear to then-chairman Doug Ellis where the boundaries lay. It's asking an enormous amount of the new man to turn around the squad and playing philosophy inside a couple of months before grim reality sets in with the Championship slog.
"This current group of underachievers would struggle in the 46-game season that starts this August. I would only keep Ciaran Clark (and make him captain), Ashley Westwood, Jordan Ayew, Idrissa Gana, Rudy Gestede, Jack Grealish - and bring along promising youngsters such as Jordan Lyden, Andre Green, Keinan Davis and Lewis Kinsella.
"At least that lot would run around and look as if playing for Aston Villa meant everything to them. You couldn't say that about this current squad.
"It's fantasy to assume a revamped Villa squad could challenge for the Championship title at such short notice. A period of sober, humble realism is long overdue at the club. Just stop the rot, then restore pride and stabilise the slump. And hope that Lerner at last sells up. Villa need a constant visible presence there at the top - like a Peter Coates, Bill Kenwright or Jeremy Peace. Or - whisper it gently - a Doug Ellis of yesteryear."

As their drop into the second tier was confirmed, the term "Villa" became the number one social media trend in the UK, with more than 60,000 tweets shared in an hour around the final whistle.
The Times chief football writer Henry Winter tweeted: "Randy Lerner and some of the players need a long, hard look at themselves. No leadership. No commitment. No easy return either."
"Sad to see a great club like Aston Villa relegated so apathetically," tweeted Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker.
Some poked fun at the club while others commended the fact Villa fans were still singing in the away end at Old Trafford despite witnessing the pivotal result.
"Can hardly say Villa's fans have been put out of their misery by relegation - utterly betrayed by dreadful mismanagement of their club," tweeted BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty.

Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said Wales needed "real change" after "17 years of Labour failure".
The Tories have already promised not to cut NHS spending, to cap the cost of elderly care and to increase the amount of free childcare for working parents.
Currently the largest opposition party in Cardiff Bay, the Conservatives have 14 of the 60 seats in the Senedd.
At the 2015 general election, the party took seats such as Gower and the Vale of Clwyd from Labour and Brecon and Radnorshire from the Liberal Democrats.
"From protecting the NHS budget, to creating more jobs by backing small businesses and improving infrastructure and delivering excellence in education, we stand ready to take Wales on a new path," Mr Davies said.
"Our pledges to put a weekly cap on costs and protect £100,000 of assets for those in residential care and our commitment to treble free childcare further demonstrate how Welsh Conservatives are ready to secure real change and deliver opportunities for all people in Wales.
"Welsh voters have a clear choice between the same old ideas that simply aren't working with Jeremy Corbyn's Labour or changing to a better future with the Welsh Conservatives."
With Labour holding exactly half the seats in the Senedd, only one seat needs to change hands at May's election for the balance of power to shift to the other parties, Mr Davies added.
The notes are understood to have been accidentally left in a House of Commons toilet by a junior aide.
They suggest the Labour leader was braced for attacks on Labour's relationship with the unions.
A row about the alleged influence of the Unite union on candidate selection dominated this week's session.
Labour sources have accepted the notes - left near the division lobby in the House of Commons - are genuine. It is understood they were left in the toilet by Jonathan Reynolds, who is Mr Miliband's parliamentary private secretary.
The notes include pre-prepared lines on Tom Watson, campaign organiser for the Labour party, one of whose assistants was a candidate in a controversial candidate selection process in Falkirk.

The notes, which cover two and half sides of A4 paper, are divided into different headings.
They include the lines: "I'll take Tom Watson over Andy Coulson any day and I'd far rather have Tom Watson working for me who led the campaign on the phone hacking scandal than have brought Andy Coulson into the heart of Downing Street."
Mr Miliband went on to raise Mr Coulson, the PM's former director of communications who is facing charges of phone hacking and bribing public officials during his former career as a journalist, in Wednesday's clash.
But he did not mention Mr Watson - a former close ally of Gordon Brown who is Labour's deputy chairman - and also omitted the line in the notes saying the party was "taking action" over the Falkirk affair.
Unite, the UK's largest union, is at the centre of a row over the selection of a new Labour candidate to fight the next election in the Scottish constituency.
Labour's National Executive Committee has taken control of the process from the local party after allegations of interference by Unite and an as yet unpublished Labour report has found evidence of unions packing local membership lists.
Labour insist Mr Miliband has moved swiftly and decisively to order an inquiry into Falkirk within hours of allegations being raised, but senior figures have called for the report into the affair to be published and warned it risks damaging the party.
Mr Cameron seized on the issue at the weekly session of PM's questions, challenging Mr Miliband on his links with the trade unions and claiming "we have a situation in this country where we have got one of our political parties where it has become apparent votes are being bought, people are being signed up without consent".
Mr Cameron said Unite General Secretary Len McCluskey, who backed Ed Miliband in the 2010 Labour leadership contest, "wrote the questions" for the opposition leader and dictated policy on issues like education and health.
"He is taking his script from the trade unions, who don't like choice, don't like new schools, don't like free schools," he said.
"They want to control everything. What we know is that one organisation they have got control of. We see it in black and white - they have taken control of the Labour Party."
In response, Mr Miliband said he was happy to debate the issue of ethics, claiming Mr Cameron had had "dinners for donors in Downing Street, given a tax cut to his Christmas card list and brought Andy Coulson into the heart of Downing Street".
"The idea that he is lecturing us on ethics takes double standards to a whole new level."
Unite has threatened legal action against Labour, saying it has been a victim of a "smear campaign" and an attempt by the party to impose a candidate from Westminster.
Mr McCluskey, who was elected to a second term as Unite leader earlier this year, said Mr Cameron appeared to have an "obsession" with him but had "nothing to say" on the real issues facing people.
"He also reminded the millions of trade unionists in this country that they are not welcome in the Conservative party, and indeed that they hold trade union members in contempt."
He added: "There can be absolutely no question about who runs the Labour Party. It is Ed Miliband and he has my full support.
"Yes, there may be issues we disagree on - that is allowed in a democratic party - but Unite is fully behind Ed Miliband."
Shadow defence secretary Jim Murphy said unions were an important part of an industrial democracy but "they can't bully and get their way within the Labour Party".
"It seems what has happened in Falkirk is that Unite have overstepped the mark and they should remember Ed Miliband runs the Labour Party, not Unite," he added.
Digging got under way this week at the site near Morecambe Bay, which was found by metal detectors, and is being excavated under expert supervision.
Archaeologists believe the site has remained untouched by ploughing or by the trowels of 19th and 20th Century antiquarians.
The excavation is being crowdfunded through the company DigVentures.
The site is thought to be a Bronze Age barrow, a circular mound often surrounded by a ditch. These round barrows can be found across Britain and were constructed between 2,200 BC and 1,100 BC.
They functioned as places of burial, but may also have been sites where ritual practices were carried out. However, many have been destroyed over the course of centuries by human activity such as farming.
Lisa Westcott Wilkins, co-founder and managing director of DigVentures, said that preliminary investigations, including a geophysics survey had already been carried out on the mound.
The venture is being described as the "first scientific excavation of a Bronze Age burial mound in the North West in over 50 years".
Metal detectorists have already recovered a bronze knife and chisel thought to have made their way to the surface via natural processes. The artefacts so far are remarkably well preserved and led experts to wonder if the mound contains an undisturbed burial.
Early work on the site also suggests it was in use for 1,500 years, from the Late Neolithic period to the Middle or Late Bronze Age.
The Bronze Age is known to have been a period of great change across Europe; it coincided not only with a revolution in metal-working, but also with dramatic cultural shifts - including the arrival of new people and the possible introduction of new languages across the continent.
The archaeologists will take precautions to prevent contamination of any burial so that ancient DNA can potentially be retrieved.
The precise location is being kept secret to prevent the theft of artefacts at night, an activity known as nighthawking.
DigVentures employs both crowdsourcing and crowdfunding on its projects and donors can join the digs as volunteers.
The excavation, which began on 4 July and runs until the 17 July, is being carried out in partnership with leading experts on Bronze Age archaeology.

The most recent case was in February when undercover agents were offered a large amount of radioactive caesium, the Associated Press reports.
Investigators say much of the material is believed to come from Russia.
They say some gangs have alleged links to Russia's intelligence services.
Police and judicial authorities in Moldova shared information with AP to highlight how dangerous the nuclear black market has become, the news agency says.
They say the deterioration in relations between Russia and the West has made it more difficult to know whether smugglers are succeeding in selling radioactive material originating from Russia abroad.
Moldova is a former Soviet republic.
"We can expect more of these cases," said Moldovan police officer Constantin Malic, who investigated all four cases.
"As long as the smugglers think they can make big money without getting caught, they will keep doing it."
In many cases seen by AP, deals were broken up by police in the early stages but ringleaders managed to escape - possibly with their nuclear contraband.
In the case involving the Caesium, the would-be smuggler wanted ???2.5m (??1.8m) for enough radioactive material to contaminate several city streets.
At a club in the Moldovan capital Chisinau he told a potential client - who was really an informant: "You can make a dirty bomb, which would be perfect for the Islamic State. If you have a connection with them, the business will go smoothly."
A sample vial of less-radioactive Caesium-135 was produced and police pounced, arresting the man and two others.
It is not clear whether the cases in Moldova indicate a more widespread nuclear smuggling operation, the report says.
Eric Lund, spokesman for the US State Department's bureau in charge of non-proliferation said Moldova had taken "many important steps" to strengthen its counter nuclear smuggling capabilities.
The ginger tabby's worried owners took her to the vets after she gulped down the plastic figure from the Kitty in My Pocket children's toy range.
An X-ray revealed the toy had become lodged in the pet's abdomen and threatened to perforate her intestine.
But following a successful operation at Manchester Vet Centre, Kitty is now home and recovering well.
Owner Paul Grice, 38, of Denton, Tameside, said: "We were really upset as we'd had Kitty from a little kitten. You get yourself worked up and it's totally out of your hands.
"We had absolutely no idea that she'd swallowed anything and only found out as a result of the X-ray. What are the chances of a cat called Kitty swallowing a cat called Kitty?"
Vet Ann Mee said: "Kitty was very poorly, she was dehydrated and lethargic.
"Sometimes, when we have a foreign body present, we can milk them through to the large intestines to allow the animal to pass it naturally.
"But this was a hard plastic toy with a prominent tail and ears which had got caught in the intestinal wall. Any attempt to move it down would have ruptured the intestinal wall itself."
Paul's wife Michelle, 36, said: "Kitty is glued to my little girl. If we'd lost her it doesn't bear thinking about. We're just thrilled to have her home."

The Grammy-winning singer, 37, also faces three months of home confinement, after pleading guilty last year.
Hill failed to pay taxes on about $1.8m (£1.2m) of earnings between 2005-07.
In a statement to the judge, Hill said she had intended to pay the taxes but could not after withdrawing from public life and ending her music career to raise her children.
Hill has six children, five of whom she had with Rohan Marley, the son of Bob Marley.
"I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them," Hill said in court. "I had an economic system imposed on me."
Hill started her career with Grammy-award winning hip-hop group Fugees alongside Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel.
She released her acclaimed solo debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, in 1998. It won five Grammy awards and sold more than 19 million copies worldwide.
Robert Pride-McLeod, 49, was found dead in a cellar at the hostel on Robert Street on 21 January 2007.
An inquest recorded an open verdict into his death but post-mortem tests found he had suffered a head injury.
Detectives, who first reopened the case in 2015, said they are determined to find those responsible for his death.
Mr Pride-McLeod, who had heart problems, was made homeless nine days before his death.
Three people were arrested during the initial investigation but were released without charge.
It is thought Mr Pride-McLeod was assaulted shortly before he died.
More on this and other local stories from across North Yorkshire
Det Insp Mark Pearson of North Yorkshire Police said he believes there are still people in the Harrogate community that hold vital information about what happened but have not yet come forward.
"Someone will know what happened in the final moments of Mr Pride-McLeod's life and I'd urge them to get in touch," he said.
Mr Pride-McLeod was made homeless on 12 January 2007 and was given a room on the first floor of the hostel.
His room was found empty three days later and he was found dead later that week.
No-one has reported seeing him since he was helped to his room by a security guard, Mr Pearson said.
The house where Mr Pride-McLeod was found is no longer a homeless hostel but at the time there were seven rooms and a flat which were occupied.
The chairman and chief executive of the Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Hospital Trust both told the meeting they could not comment in detail about the review.
Following shouts of "shame", "sham" and "resign", a 40-minute break was called.
The chairman later said the decision to suspend was difficult but correct.
The monthly board meeting was the first opportunity for members of the public to question the trust since the BBC revealed earlier this month that the health secretary has ordered an investigation into a number of deaths and other maternity errors.
There have been at least seven avoidable deaths of babies due to mistakes in labour over a 20-month period.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has ordered NHS Improvement to investigate the way the trust has investigated the deaths and learned lessons.
The meeting was scheduled to take questions at the end from the public, and chairman Peter Latchford refused several requests to bring forward questions about maternity services.
After chief executive Simon Wright, read out a prepared statement saying the trust could not comment on the review, in case it prejudiced the investigation, there was an outcry.
Other members of the public urged the non-executive directors to "raise your voices up and provide accountability".
Mr Latchford then said that in his opinion the meeting could not proceed and adjourned the proceedings.
After the board walked out, a group of about 15 people held an impromptu meeting, where they called for resignation of the chief executive and the medical director, Dr Edwin Borman.
They repeatedly referred to comments Mr Borman made to the BBC - that the trust's perinatal mortality rate was in line with the national average - as "disgraceful".
After the 40-minute suspension, the board members returned and the meeting continued.
In a statement in the evening, Mr Latchford said: "The decision to briefly adjourn the meeting following a period of disruption was a difficult one to make but one I believe to be the correct decision, allowing us time to gather our thoughts before reconvening to discuss, and make very important decisions, about the safety of our hospital services.
"We are aware that people have lots of questions about the independent review that NHS Improvement is leading, but if we comment now, we risk prejudicing the review and we are committed to using it as a chance to make further improvements."
The chief executive had told the meeting the trust has written to around 3,000 women who are due to give birth at the trust to reassure them about the safety of their maternity services.
French consular agent Pascal Mazurier was arrested on Tuesday morning and faces charges of rape.
He was produced before a magistrate late Tuesday night amid tight security.
The official was questioned on Friday after his Indian wife alleged he sexually abused their three-year-old. The envoy has made no comment as yet.
India's Foreign Minister SM Krishna said on Wednesday that Mr Mazurier "does not have diplomatic immunity and will be tried as per Indian law".
The French official has been remanded into 14 days' judicial custody and is being held in the crowded Parapanna Agrahara jail, on the outskirts of Bangalore, which houses more than 4,000 convicts and undertrials, police said.
"It's not over. This is just the beginning. Let the trial begin," Mr Mazurier's wife, Suja Jones Mazurier, told The Times of India newspaper.
Mrs Mazurier has written to the French ambassador in India and the Indian government calling for her husband to be prevented from leaving the country until all legal proceedings are complete.
She has also asked the French embassy for financial support for herself and her three children, who are French citizens.
The company hoped the Switch would be a viable competitor against Sony's PS4 and Microsoft's Xbox One.
Nintendo posted an operating profit of 16.21bn yen ($144.95 million; £111.39 million) for the first quarter.
That's up by about a third over the previous quarter and reverses losses from the same quarter last year.
Nintendo released a hybrid console called the Switch in March, hoping it would find more success than its predecessor the Wii U, which was widely considered a flop.
It's primarily a home console, but with a tablet-like device that can be removed and played as a standalone portable unit.
The company aimed to sell 10 million units within a year, which would make it Nintendo's biggest hit since the Wii launched in November 2006.
The Switch sold 2.74 million in its launch month.
The company also made its first foray into mobile gaming late last year, releasing Super Mario Run.
Although the game was a huge hit with more than 150 million downloads, it didn't generate as much revenue as the company hoped.
The move to digital came after the huge success of Pokémon Go, which was jointly developed by Nintendo, Niantic and the Pokémon Company.
Pensions scheme members reported "hardship, distress and inconvenience" caused by the late payment of pensions, the NAO said.
MyCSP said its performance was now back to a "steady state".
The PCS union said the mutualisation had been "a textbook case in how not to reform public services".
MyCSP, a joint venture between government and private sector firm Equiniti, took over civil service pensions administration from Capita in September 2014.
In a report on Thursday Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office said the mutual "did not cope with the workload and a large backlog of work built up".
"Some people were paid late and members struggled to contact MyCSP," he added.
Due to a lack of staff, a backlog of work grew, peaking at 22,000 urgent cases in January 2015, and many thousands of calls went unanswered.
Between September 2014 and March 2015, MyCSP failed to answer 99,408 calls, the NAO said.
The mutual was unable to prioritise urgent cases once a backlog had built up because of the way its system ran, NAO added.
In January 2015 the Cabinet Office told the mutual to develop a plan to tackle the backlog.
By September 2015 MyCSP had managed to re-establish previous performance levels and was not hit with any financial penalties, the NAO added.
MyCSP said: "We recognise the findings of the National Audit Office report published today.
"It has been well documented that a number of factors led to the reduction in service levels, including a communication to 1.1 million members which resulted in significantly increased call volumes and a corresponding impact on 'business as usual' workload."
It added that it had recruited new staff, increased call centre opening times, and started in-house training.
"Call handling levels have been back to normal for the past six months, with a corresponding reduction in member complaints, significantly down from their peak at the time of the service challenges," it said.
"Service to members remains our utmost priority and we will continue to work with... the Cabinet Office and employers to deliver towards that aim," MyCSP added.
The PCS union said the NAO report had "exposed the failings of the government's only mutual venture in a damning verdict on the administration of civil service pensions".
The new pension administration IT system, Compendia, was not fully ready when MyCSP took on the extra work, PCS said.
Compendia was developed by Equiniti, which took over a controlling stake in the mutual in 2014, PCS added.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "The mutualisation of MyCSP has from the start been a textbook case in how not to reform public services."
The Welsh Rugby Union's (WRU) senior player selection policy (SPSP) means only three players who play outside Wales can be picked.
Dominic Day, Nicky Thomas and Rhodri Williams are the others affected.
Bath lock Luke Charteris is exempt from the rule and free for selection.
This is the first time the WRU has revealed its seven-man list, from which three wildcard selections are available for each Wales campaign, starting from the 2016-17 season.
The Six Nations, summer tour and autumn internationals are different campaigns, and the wildcard selections can differ for each.
Also known as 'Gatland's Law' in reference to Wales head coach Warren Gatland, the policy is aimed at ensuring more players play their domestic rugby in Wales.
In August 2014, the WRU and Wales' four professional regions signed a £60m, six-year deal that settled a long-running dispute over the sport's future.
That deal included rules that mean players based outside Wales could be overlooked in favour of home-based talent.
The policy ruled no player based overseas should represent Wales, although they are able to make exceptions.
The SPSP does not affect players who signed contracts with clubs outside Wales before the policy was introduced, such as Toulon's Leigh Halfpenny and Exeter's Tomas Francis.
Robert Howley will deputise for Gatland, who will take charge of the 2017 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand.
Wales host Australia, Argentina, Japan and South Africa at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in November.
The squad for those Test matches will be announced on Tuesday, 18 October.
"Players have been aware that there would come a point, if they left or signed new contracts outside Wales, that the policy would impact on selection," said WRU chief executive Martyn Phillips.
"We are aware that supporters may be concerned that we will not be selecting from a full list of players, but the alternative where players increasingly play outside Wales isn't sustainable for the long-term success of our game whether that be professional or community rugby.
"Clearly the player ultimately has the choice but we will do all we can to ensure that playing in Wales gives the player the best professional rugby experience possible.
It happened at about 08:00 GMT on Friday morning on the Belfast Road between Fivemiletown, County Tyrone, and Brookborough, County Fermanagh. The road has since reopened.
The man, who has been named as Daniel Morris, was from the Brookborough area.
Police have appealed for witnesses.
DUP MLA for Fermanagh and South Tyrone, Maurice Morrow, said the crash had "thrown the community into shock".
"There is no good time to suffer such tragedy, but for such an incident to occur at Christmas is particularly severe," he said.
"I am very familiar with the stretch of road in question and have travelled it many times. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the victim at this extremely harrowing time."
A US lawyer told the BBC he persuaded two radical Muslim clerics in the Middle East to make contact with IS.
But the talks broke down when one of the clerics was arrested in Jordan for promoting jihadist views, he said.
The FBI has confirmed to the BBC that it was aware of the discussions, but refused to elaborate.
New York lawyer Stanley Cohen said he was asked to help by a US veteran and Palestinian activists who knew Mr Kassig. He was known as Peter before he converted to Islam while in captivity.
Mr Cohen, who has represented Hezbollah, Hamas and the son-in-law of Osama Bin Laden, said he discussed his plans with the FBI before travelling to Kuwait and Jordan as a private citizen.

Abdul-Rahman Kassig's letters home
There, he says he met clerics with links to al-Qaeda, and persuaded them to intervene on behalf of Mr Kassig.
One of them - Abu Mohammed al-Maqdisi, the spiritual leader of the Jordanian Salafist-jihadist movement - began sending messages to Islamic State leaders.
But he was arrested by the Jordanian government for using the internet to promote jihadist views, and the talks subsequently broke down.
The other cleric was reportedly Abu Qatada, who was released from prison in Jordan in September after being found not guilty of terrorism offences by a court in Amman.
He confirmed in an interview with the Guardian newspaper that he had he worked with Abu Mohammed al-Maqdisi to help save Mr Kassig.
Mr Cohen said negotiations with Islamic State, formerly known as Isis, had been "sandbagged by the Jordanian government".
"The bottom line is this: it wasn't Isis that broke the agreement although Isis did, in fact, kill Kassig," Mr Cohen told the BBC's Newsday programme.
"The agreement was broken by Jordan and the US did nothing to undo it. I went to the Middle East with the assurances from Isis that come - that he'll remain alive - we'll listen to you and we'll see where this goes and for six weeks he remained alive."
The Jordanian government has not commented on the allegations.
Mr Cohen is due to begin a prison term next month for tax offences.
A former US ranger, Mr Kassig, 26, founded a humanitarian organisation to help refugees fleeing from Syria's conflict.
He was captured by Islamic State in October 2013 while travelling towards to Deir al-Zour in eastern Syria. The group announced his death on 16 November with a grim video showing the aftermath of his decapitation.
For many locals, it's unpretentious and inviting, with old sofas and low lighting - a place to meet friends in the evening or stop by for coffee during the day.
Now, its glass windows are pockmarked with bullet holes and the pavement outside is stained with blood.
Just before 21:30 on Friday, as part of a co-ordinated series of terrorist attacks across Paris that saw 129 people killed, a man opened fire with a semi-automatic weapon on the crowded bar.
He then crossed the road and targeted diners sitting on the terrace of Le Petit Cambodge, a small restaurant serving Cambodian and Vietnamese food.
At least 12 people were left dead and the brutality of the attacks has left the tight-knit local community reeling.
"We come every day to this bar because it is friendly, it is simple," Alexandra Damien, a regular, told the Press Association outside Le Carillon on Saturday. Flowers and candles were placed there in memory of those killed.
Two of her friends died at the bar.
"Coming here is normal for us, so we have no idea why they [terrorists] were touching this kind of place. People told me they were coming in with shotguns.
"This is horrible. It is touching a neighbourhood. We're like a small village. It's a small place, we don't need to go out of our area because we have everything,"
The bars and restaurants in this canal-side area are packed on a Friday night.
The shootings targeted so-called "soft targets" packed with fun-loving young people - bars, restaurants and the nearby Bataclan concert venue, where a rock band were playing. That fact has left many Parisians rattled.
"I'm not scared to go out in this area now, because you can't just stay at home as this would mean to 'ceder a la peur' [give in to fear]," Cora Delacroix, 24, who lives nearby, told the BBC.
"But it's terrible, because I feel like now you can be attacked everywhere. For the [January] Charlie Hebdo attack, it was more specific, it was against our freedom of speech and against symbols. But there, in a random place, that's frightening."
Ahmed Naeem, a 39-year-old filmmaker, said he and his friends were still in shock.
"These places are the places we visit every week... streets we walk every day. I've seen dozens of gigs at the Bataclan, eaten at the Petit Cambodge, sat outside Le Carillon on so many nights," he told the Associated Press.
One question ordinary Parisians like Marie Cartal are asking is: why target them?
She lives above the Casa Nostra restaurant in the 11th arrondissement, where five people were killed by a gunman.
"It was really shocking. It was the first time in my life I saw someone dying in front of me," she told the BBC.
"I mean people there were just sitting outside having a drink. They were not politicians, they were not particularly engaged. They were just enjoying the beginning of the weekend. So, why?"
Taylor's 7-4 loss at Birmingham's Barclaycard Arena was followed by an impressive 7-1 win for world number one Van Gerwen over James Wade.
Four players - Gary Anderson, Adrian Lewis, Wade and Wright - can still claim one of the remaining two spots.
Anderson needs one point from his final two games to qualify for the last four.
A win over Wright would have booked the defending champion's place in London on 19 May, but he was held to a 6-6 draw by Wright.
Lewis is three points clear of fifth-placed Wade and requires one more win to seal a play-off place following his 7-2 success against Robert Thornton, while Anderson's 7-5 defeat of Raymond van Barneveld ended the Dutchman's hopes of qualification.
Peter Wright 7-4 Phil Taylor
Raymond van Barneveld 5-7 Gary Anderson
Adrian Lewis 7-2 Robert Thornton
James Wade 1-7 Michael van Gerwen
Peter Wright 6-6 Gary Anderson
The Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority say they want to "discourage irresponsible risk-taking and short-termism".
Under the new rules, senior managers could have their bonuses clawed back for up to 10 years in misconduct cases.
FCA boss Martin Wheatley said the rules were part of a wider campaign to "embed an accountable culture in the City".
They were "a crucial step to rebuild public trust in financial services", he added.
The new rules - which follow a near-year long consultation - apply to banks, building societies and some investment firms.
The main rule changes mean:
But the Bank of England said buyouts of unpaid bonuses by new employers would not be banned, although managers would not be able to receive the money any sooner than if they had stayed at their former company.
Andrew Bailey, the Bank's deputy governor for prudential regulation and head of the PRA, said: "Effective financial regulation involves creating appropriate incentives to encourage individuals to take greater responsibility for their actions.
"Our intention is that people in positions of responsibility are rewarded for behaviour which fosters a culture of effective risk management and thus promotes the safety and soundness of individual institutions."
Mr Lee had been out of the political limelight for years when he died but his authoritarian model, which brought stability and wealth, remains. Yet economic success and globalisation have presented Singapore with new challenges, such as a widening income gap and a new generation who are demanding greater political participation.
Which elements of his model might Singapore move away from and which are here to stay?
Exceptionalism
"We knew that if we were just like our neighbours, we would die. Because we've got nothing to offer against what they have to offer. So we had to produce something which is different and better than what they have," said Mr Lee in a 2007 interview.
A tiny island with no resources except its people, Singapore's population had to be better educated and speak better English than regional counterparts - so English was taught as a first language, and the government invested in schools and education subsidies for the poor.
In a region where corruption is endemic, Singapore had to offer clean government and an attractive business environment. It also had to be flexible - reinventing itself to stay relevant, whether as a manufacturing hub or later as a financial and green technology centre.
Such thinking remains integral. Today, Singapore is consistently ranked one of the least corrupt, safest, and most business-friendly countries in the world.
"We thrive by being different in a purposive way. We make good governance a necessity and an imperative, we are very open economically," says Singapore Management University law academic Eugene Tan.
Government knows best
"We decide what is right. Never mind what the people think," said Mr Lee of his government in 1986.
Under Mr Lee's model, the government took care of running the country and delivered progress in return for citizens' obedience.
His People's Action Party (PAP) remains dominant. The government still controls the media with strict laws, dominates key business sectors through government-linked companies, and rules the unions.
But a younger, more educated generation are calling for greater political diversity. In the last election, while the opposition won only six seats in parliament due to the first-past-the-post system, the PAP secured only 60% of the popular vote - its lowest ever.
Tough state control is being challenged in some areas. One example is gay rights, with a growing public movement urging an end to a law that effectively outlaws homosexuality.
The explosive growth of an internet-savvy generation, meanwhile, has allowed debate over national issues to expand - in turn, the government has sought tighter regulation.
Devadas Krishnadas, chief executive of Future Moves, a strategy consultancy which advises governments and businesses, says "the population feels restless for a change".
"The tricky part for present political leaders is deciding where, how much and how fast to change... their main task is to develop a coherent road map to a new political destiny."
Elitist model
"It is essential to rear a generation at the very top of society that has all the qualities needed to lead and give the people the inspiration and the drive to make it succeed. In short, the elite," declared Mr Lee in 1966.
He believed a mandarin class should run the country. This gave rise to Singapore's meritocratic model, where regardless of race or class, anyone good enough could make it to the top.
Singaporeans have long accepted this system. But many worry about social mobility and point to the fact that the proportion of students getting into top schools who come from wealthy educated families is increasing.
Some feel that elite technocrats have become more indifferent to their needs and the PAP lacks the view of the "man of the street".
The government has since conducted more public consultations, made policy shifts on contentious issues such as immigration and retirement savings, and pumped in resources to less well-funded schools. The PAP has also promised to refresh its ranks with more from the grassroots.
Addressing problems would get easier "if the PAP can shake off some of its elitist instincts and anxiety about being held to greater account by citizens", says Garry Rodan, politics and international studies professor at Murdoch University.
Racial harmony and bilingualism
"Crucial (to Singapore) is interracial, interreligious harmony. Without that, quarrelling with one another, we are doomed," said Mr Lee in a 2011 interview.
Singapore has four major races and ten official religions. Scarred by race riots in the 1960s, it maintains strict hate speech laws and racial quotas in public housing - which the majority live in - to prevent ethnic enclaves from developing. Incidents where people are caught using racist language always elicit public outrage.
Mr Lee also believed it necessary for Singaporeans to remain connected to their cultural roots and speak their "mother tongue", such as Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. To this day, every Singaporean studies a second language in school.
These policies have "significant buy-in" from the current leadership, and are likely to continue as they have preserved stability in Singapore and ensured a more nimble workforce, says Mr Tan.
'Tight-fisted' welfare
"The principle is that you must work. We are not going to pay you for lying around," said Mr Lee in 2011 about welfare supplements. He had a strong aversion to the welfare state and thought it encouraged laziness.
Citizens are expected to shoulder much of the burden of taking care of themselves and their families. There is no national minimum wage, and Singaporeans are forced to save for retirement instead of receiving pensions. While subsidies and handouts exist, some believe the amounts are insufficient.
The system, which results in a lean government, has its fans. But with increasing inequality there has been greater concern for the poor, disabled and elderly, and calls for more social spending.
The government has responded with tentative moves towards universal healthcare coverage and greater support for the elderly.
"The greatest challenge facing Singapore in this era is to reconcile participation in a highly competitive globalised economy with a more equitable distribution of resources," says Professor Rodan, who adds that it can afford to do so given its sizeable financial reserves.
Nigeria's intelligence agency said it had seized firearms during a raid on his properties in July.
Mr Dasuki pleaded not guilty to the charge and was given bail.
He is the first senior official of the former government to be charged since President Muhammadu Buhari was inaugurated in May.
Mr Buhari is the first opposition candidate to be elected president in Nigeria.
The judge ordered the agency to return Mr Dasuki's passport to the court as part of his bail conditions.
Mr Dasuki appeared calmed and relaxed, reports the BBC's Nasidi Adamu Yahya from the court.
Some associates of former President Goodluck Jonathan were present in solidarity to the retired army officer, he says.
President Buhari replaced Mr Dasuki and other security chiefs in July in a renewed effort to end a six-year insurgency by militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
This has been a swift change of fortune for the man who was an extremely powerful figure in the immediate past administration.
As the National Security Advisor, he oversaw the fight against Boko Haram and as a sign of how influential Col Dasuki was, it was on his advice that this year's elections were postponed - a move which some believed was aimed at buying time to give Mr Jonathan a boost.
Apart from the accusation of possessing illegal weapons, Mr Dasuki may have bigger problems ahead.
He may be asked to help explain where the $5bn (£3.3bn) annual security budget went, especially as it became clear that for some time the Nigerian military did not have the weapons it needed to fight the jihadists.
Some Nigerians accuse President Buhari of pursuing a personal vendetta. Thirty years ago Sambo Dasuki was reportedly amongst a group of officers who arrested Gen Buhari who was then the military head of state.
He has however denied that he was present when the arrest took place and Mr Buhari was toppled.
Sarah McManus, 29, is said to be among those hurt on the "tower jump" at the Flip Out Park in Chester.
The personal assistant, from Oswestry, Shropshire, said she fractured her spine jumping into a foam pit from a 13ft (4m) high platform in January.
A spokesman for Cheshire trampoline park said the tower jump has been replaced by another attraction.
Miss McManus, who is taking legal action against the park, said: "I followed the instructions on the sign and landed in the seated position as suggested, but when I hit the foam I heard a crack in my back and felt like I'd been winded.
"I was barely able to breathe and couldn't shout for help, so I had to throw some of the foam sponges in the air to get attention."
She added: "I was eventually fitted with a back brace that I wear daily and only remove to shower and sleep."
Following her injury, three other people all reportedly suffered back injuries on the same attraction.
One was student George Magraw, 21, from Ellesmere Port, who fractured his spine at the park in February.
Cheshire West and Chester Council has launched an investigation into the park.
The council said two other people were injured on the same day as Mr Magraw.
A spokesman for Flip Out Chester said: "Since opening in December, more than 200,000 people have visited Flip Out Chester and we have an excellent safety record.
"Safety is our number one priority and we strive to ensure that everyone who visits can enjoy all of the activities in a safe environment.
"We are investigating these claims to establish exactly what happened."
Andrew Murnin and wing-back Aaron McKay both lose out after picking up knocks in last weekend's win over Kildare.
Murnin netted Armagh's crucial goal before a hamstring injury led to him being replaced by Ethan Rafferty.
Tyrone are unchanged while Monaghan also stick with the side that beat Down for their contest with Dublin.
The only Tyrone switch comes in the substitutes with Cathal McShane replaced by Frank Burns.
Jack McCarron and Conor McCarthy made hugely impressive contributions as Monaghan substitutes last weekend but the side picked on Thursday night remains the starting line-up which took to the field against the Mourne County.
As ever, there is always the possibility that Malachy O'Rourke will make changes before Saturday evening's throw-in.

Tyrone cruised to provincial glory and they are firm favourites for the Dublin date with their Ulster derby rivals.
Armagh lost their Ulster opener against Down but have battled through the qualifiers to make the last eight.
Harte has resisted making changes despite impressive substitute displays in the 2-17 to 0-15 win over Down in the Ulster decider last month.
Ronan O'Neill came off the bench to score two late goals while Declan McClure caught the eye after being introduced in midfield.
Armagh recovered after their two-point defeat by Down in early June to chalk up qualifier wins over Fermanagh, Westmeath, Tipperary and Kildare.
The game will bring back memories of battles between the sides from the last decade, which included the Red Hands' 2003 All-Ireland final win.
Dublin, meanwhile, will be even stronger favourites for their tie against O'Rourke's side.
Armagh: B Hughes; J Morgan, C Vernon, P Hughes; B Donaghy, M Shields, J McElroy; S Sheridan, N Grimley; R Grugan, C O'Hanlon, A Forker; J Clarke, G McParland, S Campbell.
Tyrone: N Morgan; A McCrory, R McNamee, C McCarron; T McCann, P Hampsey, P Harte; C Cavanagh, C McCann; D Mulgrew, N Sludden, K McGeary; M Bradley, S Cavanagh, M Donnelly.
Dublin: S Cluxton; P McMahon, C O'Sullivan, M Fitzsimons; J Cooper, J Small, E Lowndes; B Fenton, J McCarthy; C Kilkenny, C O'Callaghan, J McCaffrey; P Mannion, P Andrews, D Rock.
Monaghan: R Beggan; F Kelly, D Wylie, R Wylie; C Walshe, K Duffy, K O'Connell; D Hughes, K Hughes; G Doogan, D Malone, S Carey; R McAnespie, D Freeman, C McManus.
After a first half of few chances, Cedric Bakambu's header clipped the Reds upright shortly after the break.
Liverpool went closest when Roberto Firmino's low shot hit the post.
The Reds looked set for a creditable draw in Spain until they switched off to allow substitute Adrian Lopez to tap in Denis Suarez's low cross.
Despite the dramatic winner, the Europa League semi-final still remains delicately poised before next Thursday's return leg at Anfield.
The winners will face either Spanish holders Sevilla or Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk, who drew 2-2 in their first leg, in the Swiss city of Basel on 18 May.

Football Daily podcast: 'Klopp made a mistake'
Liverpool have not reached a European final since losing to AC Milan in the 2007 Champions League showpiece, but a stoic display at La Liga's fourth-placed team looked set to leave them a home win away from ending that barren run.
However, the Premier League side lost their defensive discipline in the final few seconds - and it could prove crucial.
Left-back Alberto Moreno wandered up field, leaving the space for former Manchester City youngster Suarez to exploit before squaring to Lopez for the easiest of finishes.
BBC Radio 5 live summariser and former Reds defender Mark Lawrenson said: "Where did the left-back disappear to? Injury time at 0-0 in a Europa League semi-final - and he's probably 70 metres up the pitch.
"0-0 would have been a very good result. All of a sudden because of one aberration you're under pressure for the second leg."
Liverpool will have to score at least twice to go through in 90 minutes at Anfield, but Villarreal know an away goal would mean the Reds then need a minimum of three.
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side were installed as favourites to win Europe's secondary club competition after their thrilling quarter-final win against Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.
Publicly the 48-year-old German insists there has been no thought about the possibility of reaching the final - but winning the trophy will cap an encouraging debut season with a place in next season's Champions League.
His predecessor, Brendan Rodgers, named an inexperienced side in the Reds' opening two matches in the competition, but Klopp has chosen stronger teams since arriving in early October.
However, he decided to play without a recognised striker at Villarreal, leaving England international Daniel Sturridge on the bench throughout - and the Reds offered little attacking threat.
Wales midfielder Joe Allen wasted the best chance in a tight first half, side-footing straight at home keeper Sergio Asenjo early on.
Further opportunities were rare, although Brazil forward Firmino - playing as Liverpool's most advanced player - thumped an angled 12-yard drive against the base of the right post.
Liverpool were playing their first match since inquests concluded 96 Reds supporters who died as a result of a crush in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster were unlawfully killed.
Villarreal paid tribute to the victims by providing a banner - bearing the number 96 and Liverpool club slogan 'You'll Never Walk Alone' - for their fans to hold up before kick-off.
"We were very saddened by the Hillsborough tragedy and we planned events to show the solidarity and support which our club and our fans have with Liverpool and those who were affected," said the Spanish club.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp:
"Of course I'm not too happy with the goal we conceded in the last second. Counter-attacking in the 92nd minute makes not much sense - but it is only the first leg.
"It is 1-0 and they have to come to Anfield where we know how strong we are. We had our moments, we defended really good. This race is not over.
"If we had enough players around the box it was no problem but they played this one chip ball over Kolo [Toure], I don't know where Alberto [Moreno] was in this moment but that was the only big mistake we made in this game and they scored with it."
Villarreal manager Marcelino:
"Until the final whistle you can score or concede a goal and this time we were lucky enough to score in the very last minute.
"We managed a good result but we don't know if it will be enough or not until the end of the tie.
"It was not an unfair result and we didn't beat Liverpool by being lucky."
Seventh-placed Liverpool return to Premier League action with a visit to 15th-placed Swansea on Sunday.
The Reds look unlikely to earn Champions League qualification through the Premier League, sitting nine points behind fourth-placed Arsenal with four matches left, although they do have a game in hand on the Gunners.
Villarreal are better positioned to earn La Liga's final qualifying spot, holding a four-point advantage over Celta Vigo with three matches remaining.

A planning application is being drawn up for the Abbey Shopping Centre and the Charter multi-storey car park.
The plans will see the council-owned 40-year-old retail space updated and the dated street area improved.
Subject to planning permission being granted, work on the overhaul could begin on the shopping centre in January 2012.
Councillor Richard Gibson said: "This deal means that over the next few years there will be more and better shops. This will attract more people to the town, providing more jobs and greater prosperity."
A second phase of plans will see the Charter multi-storey car park demolished and redeveloped.
It will be replaced with a large supermarket and 400-space car park, library and a day and medical centre.
The Irish Republic came second, then Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
The survey suggested more people were likely to perform charitable acts this year compared with 2010, but less likely to give money.
The CAF said the "global economic crisis" was the likely reason for the slight fall in charitable donations.
The group said the richest countries were not necessarily the most likely to give to charity - only five nations that are in the World Bank's top 20 economies by GDP appear in the latest CAF giving index top 20.
In terms of percentage of population, Thailand was the most generous, with 85% of Thais making regular charitable contributions. The UK was the second most generous, with 79% regularly giving to charity.
Countries were ranked in terms of the monetary donations and charitable acts of their people.
The email was sent to medical students at the Free University of Brussels (ULB).
"From an aesthetic point of view," it read, " it is better for young women to wear a dress or skirt, and a nice revealing neckline."
Men were told simply to wear a suit for the event next month.
"Of course, ladies, this advice is not obligatory," the email added.
But mandatory or not, the suggestion caused an outcry on social media.
The university later released a statement on Facebook and Twitter, on behalf of its medical faculty, to apologise to all students who had received the message.
The advice was inappropriate and went against the university's values, it said.
A screen grab of the original email had been shared on a light-hearted Facebook page, ULB Confessions, which interrupted its usual stream of jokes and memes to express outrage at the "little scandal".
Hundreds of students responded, accusing the university of being sexist.
The ULB Confessions page also published a response it had received from a student: "No one has the right to tell you how you should feel in your skin. Nobody has the right to tell you how to dress. No one has the right to tell you how to play your role as a woman. No one has the right to take away this freedom that has been (and is still being) obtained with such difficulty."
The email was most likely sent by a woman as the secretariat did not include any men, the dean of the medicine faculty, Marco Schetgen, told Belgian news outlet RTL.
"No, it's not a hoax," he said, confirming the email had been sent out but adding that it had shocked him too when he found out.
Lara Mason, 29, spent 30 hours crafting the sponge statue which stands at just under 3ft (91cm).
A Tyrannosaurus Rex, a levitating cake and Yoda from Star Wars are among the eye-catching entries at the Cake International competition being held at the NEC near Birmingham.
Mrs Mason won gold in previous years for her cakes of actress Jennifer Lawrence and Captain Jack Sparrow.
Mrs Mason, from Walsall, West Midlands, said: "The feedback from the judges was they loved what I did.
"But they wanted to see what I could do on a smaller scale because when it's life sized and you put it on the table, they can't see all the smaller details and the most important part on a human sculpture is a face.
"I thought I'd do a child. He's the most famous child in the world and especially cute as well and very, very current."
Mrs Mason won a gold in 2013 for recreating Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean character, Captain Jack Sparrow.
Mrs Mason also struck gold last year with a cake of Jennifer Lawrence's Game of Throne character Katniss Everdeen.
There were more than 1,000 competition entries on show from cake decorators from across the globe.
Rose Macefield from Coseley, in Dudley, created a Jurassic Park inspired scene with a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex's head emerging from a jungle.
A gravity defying creation from Christine Jensen of Penzance in Cornwall saw Star War's Yoda controlling a levitating cake.
Emma Jayne Morris from Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taff in Wales made Angelina Jolie's character from the film Maleficent.
Stephen Anthony Hough, 58, is also on trial for the sexual assault and manslaughter of Janet Commins, 15.
Mold Crown Court heard Janet's body was found in a field in Flint on 11 January 1976 by three children playing hide and seek.
One man has already served a sentence after admitting Janet's manslaughter, but he insists he did not kill her.
Prosecutor Mark Heywood QC told the jury Janet died "as a result of her neck and her external airway being compressed and blocked during that sexual assault".
Janet had made plans to go swimming on 7 January, but her mother said she did not look well so could not go.
Jurors were told she left her house without her parents knowing and left them a note saying she would be back by 20:30 GMT.
She left the pool just after 19:30 and told a friend she was heading straight home - jurors heard she was spotted with two boys at about 20:10.
The court heard the boy who reported seeing them said one of them was a thin, fair-haired boy and the other was an older-looking boy aged about 17 and they were laughing and joking with Janet.
Her father Edward Commins reported his daughter missing at about 23:00 that night and her body was found four days later.
The court heard Janet was killed during a sexual assault and there were signs her body had been left lying face down "for some time" before being moved to where it was found.
Mr Hough was questioned at the time as his grandparents' house overlooked the area where Janet's body was concealed.
He said he was stealing petrol from a vehicle in Flint that night and was subsequently fined for the offence.
The jury was told that during the original investigation, a man called Noel Jones, then 18, "told his girlfriend that he had killed a young girl".
He was questioned by police and written statements said he admitted raping Janet and she died during the struggle.
However, in a subsequent statement, he said his friend Michael Orford was with him and he also raped Janet.
Jones denied murder but admitted manslaughter and served six years of a 12-year sentence but no evidence was offered against Mr Orford.
Mr Heywood said: "He [Jones] never challenged the circumstances of his conviction, but he asserts that he always knew that he was innocent and he only confessed due to the pressure that he felt placed upon him at the time.
"The prosecution say that when you have considered all the evidence in this case, there is support for Jones's claim that he was not Janet's killer and, in all the circumstances, you can be sure that Stephen Hough was."
In 2006, a review of the scientific evidence in the case was carried out and DNA from a man was identified from samples taken from Janet's body.
In 2016, Mr Hough's DNA was taken by police in an unrelated matter and a match was found, prompting his arrest.
The trial continues.

Isabelle Solly's mum Kay passed out at their home when no other adults were present.
Isabelle got hold of her mum's phone and called the emergency services - something paramedics said had "astonished" them.
Paramedic Matt Cooper, who arrived at the scene, said: "It would have been quite scary for a child but she did extremely well staying on the phone until we arrived."
Isabelle's mum, Kay, regained consciousness, and tests discovered nothing serious was wrong with her.
After being invited to bat by Warwickshire at The Oval, Surrey reached 327-3 at the end of day one.
After sharing a first-wicket stand of 154 with Rory Burns (71), Stoneman, 29, went on to complete the first Championship century of the season.
The Bears, back under Ashley Giles' command, got through just three times.
It was some form of revenge for Surrey, who were well beaten by the Bears at Lord's when the two sides last met at the One-Day Cup final in September.
After Surrey went to lunch on 133-0, the visitors finally claimed their first wicket when left-hander Burns was caught behind off persevering left-armer Keith Barker.
Stoneman's former team-mate at Durham, Scott Borthwick, who was also making his Surrey debut, was second out after a 76-run second-wicket stand when he drove loosely to slip at the start of a new spell by Oliver Hannon-Dalby.
After adding a further 84 for the third wicket with former Warwickshire batsman Kumar Sangakkara (47 not out), Stoneman was getting close to the career-best 187 he made for Durham against Middlesex at Chester-le-Street in June 2014.
However, he was finally dismissed three overs after Warwickshire had taken the new ball, also caught behind as he tried to drive on the up at Chris Wright, having faced 267 balls.
Surrey debutant Mark Stoneman told BBC Radio London:
"I must admit I was pretty nervous for the first half hour or so, adjusting to my surroundings and to the expectation I have put on myself to do well for Surrey but I eventually got into a nice rhythm and took it from there.
"I had a gut feeling Warwickshire might put us in. There was a bit of dampness early on and they have got a strong new-ball attack so the key for us was to build partnerships.
"Rory Burns and I get on away from cricket and, although we're different players, we seem to complement each other. We built from there really."
Warwickshire first-team coach Jim Troughton told BBC WM:
"You have to give credit to their guys, particularly Stoneman. They batted really well. In the first session we gave them too many opportunities to score but they didn't let us settle either.
"We came back after that and, in the final session, it was important that we didn't capitulate.
"There is no heavy roller which could be a factor later on but there aren't too many indentations and there's no reason why we shouldn't bat well on that pitch as well."
Wales has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the UK, with exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays the main cause.
Swansea Singleton Hospital consultant Avad Mughal had the idea, as a trustee for the charity Skin Care Cymru.
Signs will go up on beaches in Swansea and Gower as Wales is expected to enjoy one of the hottest days of the year.
"While I was on holiday in west Wales last summer I was looking out at people on the beach and realised they were my future workload, so what could I do to make it smaller?" said dermatology consultant, Dr Mughai.
"We have signs telling people not to bring dogs on beaches or to pick up litter, so why not have one reminding them to put on sun block?"
Dr Mughal added that children in particular are at risk because damage to their young skin could lead to them developing cancer later in life.
Skin Care Cymru, which is dedicated to helping anyone with a skin disease in Wales, is now in talks with other Welsh councils to put up the signs at their beaches too.
The campaign is being backed by Hollywood and Welsh screen star Matthew Sheen and rugby referee Nigel Owens, as well as the Abertawe Bro Morganwg University Health Board.
Health board occupational therapist Janine Evan added: "Last year alone, we treated 10 adults and 17 children for sunburn - and we know there are many more who'll have been seen in A&E or treated by their GP.
"We want to do all we can to help spread this important message and remind people about what they do to avoid getting burnt and the long-term damage it can do."
Placed in a shoe, the device captures the energy of moving micro droplets and converts it into electrical current.
Kinetic charging is already used in some low power devices such as watches and sensors.
The University of Wisconsin team published its study in the journal Nature Communications.
"Humans, generally speaking, are very powerful energy-producing machines," said Professor Tom Krupenkin from the university's mechanical engineering department.
"While sprinting, a person can produce as much as a kilowatt of power."
That, according to the scientists, is more than enough to power a standard mobile phone.
Although similar methods exist for low power electronics, up until now there was no practical mechanical to electrical conversion technology that could provide such high levels of output, Prof Krupenkin explained.
"What's been missing is the power in the watts range," said Dr Ashley Taylor, a colleague of Prof Krupenkin.
"That's the power range needed for portable electronics."
On a larger scale, power-generating mats have been installed under the floors at two Tokyo train stations to capture the vibrations of the thousands of commuters.
The recovered energy is used to power a number of appliances, including the stations' automatic doors.
The new personal mechanism uses a principle known as "reverse electrowetting" - converting the energy of moving microscopic liquid droplets into an electrical current.
Once placed in a shoe, the device - which consists of thousands of these electrically conductive droplets - is able to generate electrical energy.
There is enough power, according to the researchers, to charge a standard mobile phone or laptop.
Getting the energy from the device to the handset presents another challenge.
One way is to plug a USB cable into the shoe - probably not the most practical option.
A more sophisticated solution suggested by the University of Wisconsin team is to have the electricity-generating device connected to a shoe-bound wireless transmitter. This would take care of the power hungry part of a mobile phone's job - making radio contact with remote base stations.
Signals could be passed between the unit and the user's handset by more efficient short-range systems such as bluetooth or wifi.
The two scientists now aim to commercialise their technology at the company they have recently founded - InStep NanoPower.
Dr Patrick Joseph-Franks from the National Physical Laboratory who has also researched ways to harness energy that is otherwise wasted called the research a step in the right direction.
"When you want to charge something like a mobile phone, you want to be generating the energy locally, and the fact that you're walking around is probably the most obvious means of getting that," he said.
"Whether it's better than [carrying] some efficient solar cell on you somewhere, I don't know."
The protectionist tone of the 2016 campaign is a watershed, and it could have profound political as well as economic consequences for the wider world.
Donald Trump has been an opponent of free trade deals all his public life, and the protectionist message has been central to the populist campaign that has made him the presumptive Republican nominee.
"We are like the piggy bank that's been robbed," he told a rally in Indiana this month. "We cannot continue to allow China to rape our country."
Mr Trump's stand is mirrored at the other end of the ideological spectrum.
The self-styled socialist Bernie Sanders said earlier this year: "Since 2001 we have lost 60,000 factories in America, a lot of those having to do with disastrous trade agreements. If elected president I will fundamentally re-write trade agreements in this country."
Even Hillary Clinton has trimmed her sails to the prevailing protectionist wind. As secretary of state during Barack Obama's first term she supported the TPP; now candidate Clinton says she is "learning" about the treaty and "I'm not in favour of what I have learnt about it".
TPP: What is it and why does it matter?

Are Trump and Sanders right about trade?
The economic realities behind those political positions are evident in places like Steelton, in Pennsylvania.
Steel gave the town its name and has been its economic heart since the 1860s, but today vast tracts of the steelworks running along a bank of the sleepy Susquehanna River are silent, and the main street is pock-marked with empty shops and boarded-up offices.
I met one stout survivor who was in no doubt where the blame belongs; "imports of foreign steel really is what's killed the steel mill," Al Quigley, of Quigley's Restaurant, told me.
Mr Quigley set up shop here in 1952; in those days, he says: "Steelton had probably about 6,000 workers and they ran three shifts, seven days a week," while today the mill operates with "about 600 men and they operate two shifts and don't work weekends".
Popular anger about the loss of manufacturing jobs now has a precise target; in 2001 China joined the World Trade Organisation, and its vast economy which, back then, was heading for double-digit growth rates, became a full member of the world trading system.
Everyone knew that would mean some economic adjustment, but classical free trade theory holds that although imports do cost jobs in places like Steelton, exports will generate new ones - and competition keeps prices low, so, over time, everyone gains.
However, a recent study from the top-flight research organisation the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has turned up evidence that the real story is rather different; it found that traditional manufacturing areas which have been hit by Chinese competition since 2001 take much longer to recover than anyone imagined, and that many of the jobs are never replaced.
"It's important to recognise that unlike medical services or retail, manufacturing is very geographically concentrated", says MIT's Dr David Autor, "so that kind of magnifies the pain. It's something that people experience directly if they are… working in those industries, but also indirectly if they live in those communities".
The president of Pennsylvania's Manufacturers' Association, David Taylor, is one of those mainstream Republicans who resent the way Donald Trump has, as he sees it, hijacked his party.
"I have been banging this drum for going on 15 years now," he says, "and it's a story that no one has wanted to hear - national leaders have utterly failed to take action... I loathe Mr Trump. But unfortunately this issue, which is very salient, has been left on the table for a demagogue like him to take advantage of."
In fact, protectionism has a long Republican pedigree; the party split over the issue in the 1870s and 1880s - just as the British Tories split over trade a little earlier in the 19th Century - and has been closely associated with protectionist ideas for most of its history.
The notorious Hawley-Smoot Act of 1930 - which was widely blamed for deepening the Great Depression by sparking a trade war - was sponsored by Republican lawmakers and signed by a Republican president.
And protectionism has often been associated with another powerful word in the American political lexicon; isolationism.
"These phenomena go hand-in-hand", says Dr Bill Garston, a senior fellow in Governance Studies at Washington's Brookings Institution.
Dr Garston characterises the current mood among Americans like this: "We use American force and we spend trillions of dollars, forfeit thousands of lives. We have nothing to show for it.
"We try to practise diplomacy and with people who just take advantage of us. And then our engagement with the global economy has turned out to be excellent for corporations and the governing classes, but not so excellent for everyone else."
The smart money in Washington says that once Hillary Clinton is elected - and that is still, by any sober analysis, the most likely outcome in November - she will revert to her free-trading instincts and swing back behind the TPP.
But she certainly isn't going to do that in the heat of the campaign, and because of the way the wider trade debate has swung towards protectionism, trying to force votes on the TPP early in her presidency would be risky.
It is likely that at the very least there will be a substantial delay before the treaty is ratified by the US, and some free-trade champions fear that will create space for the world to stumble into a new trade war.
Carla Hills, who served as the US Trade Representative under President George Bush senior, say TPP "is crucial to American leadership," and warns that if it does not go through "it will be tit for tat, back to the law of the jungle".
Ambassador Hills' warning is echoed by MIT's David Autor, who remains a believer in free trade, despite his influential research into the high price that American workers have paid because of Chinese competition.
"The global economy was extremely integrated until the eve of World War One, and then all of a sudden that was shut down", he says, "it [a trade war] would be disastrous, but that doesn't mean it can't happen."

The company said a third of the 3,500 employees at the South Marston site would work a four-day week from September.
A spokesman said staff would not lose out because they were employed on flexible contracts that guaranteed they would be paid for a 37-hour week.
He said that the production of the new CR-V from September, and a new 1.6-litre diesel engine by the end of the year, meant that Honda was still forecasting a production volume in the UK of almost double the 2011 figure.
Jim D'Avila, regional officer for the Unite union, said: "The recession is biting deep and big successful companies like Honda are struggling to maintain a sensible level of production to retain everyone's employment.

"I've been extremely proud to represent Middlesex for the last decade," said Lambeth-born Murtagh.
"To have seen the side develop and grow to the point where we became county champions has been one of the most rewarding things I've achieved."
Murtagh has played for both London clubs, having moved to Lord's from neighbours Surrey in 2007.
He has gone on to make 277 appearances for Middlesex in all forms of the game, scoring almost 3,000 runs and taking more than 700 wickets, 557 of them in first-class cricket.

It appears that for a year or so government ministers, state officials and businessmen meeting for lunch or dinner in exclusive Warsaw restaurants were illegally recorded.
There is speculation that waiters left a remote controlled device concealing a microphone on the diners' tables. At the moment, it is not known who did it or why, but fingers have already been pointed at opposition circles, wealthy businessmen or perhaps the Russian secret services, angered at Poland's tough stance in support of Kiev.
The private conversations are frank, profane and revealing.
In the latest batch of transcripts published by the weekly news magazine Wprost, a man identified as Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski brands the alliance with the US "worthless" and calls UK Prime Minister David Cameron "incompetent" in EU affairs.
Enjoying a bowl of pumpkin soup, then a steak accompanied by a bottle of expensive wine, Mr Sikorski tells his dining partner, former Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski, that Warsaw's alliance with Washington is "complete bullshit".
"We'll get into conflict with the Germans, with the Russians, and we'll think everything is super because we gave the Americans a blow job. Losers. Complete losers," he continues.
The magazine states that Mr Sikorski said Mr Cameron's attempts to appease Eurosceptics had backfired on him: "He's not interested, because he doesn't get it, because he believes in this stupid propaganda. He stupidly tries to manipulate the system."
This conversation seems strange for two men with close links to the UK who have repeatedly stated the EU will be better and stronger if the UK remains inside.
Mr Sikorski read politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford. He was a contemporary of Boris Johnson and a near-contemporary of David Cameron in the exclusive Bullingdon Club.
For years he has publicly lauded the value of a strong security alliance with the US. Westminster School-educated Jacek Rostowski was once a member of Britain's Conservative Party.
The conversation apparently took place in early 2014, shortly after Mr Cameron singled out Polish migrants for abusing the UK's benefits system. Comments that caused outrage in Poland.
In terms of security, Russia was yet to annex Crimea. Mr Sikorski has bemoaned the level of support Washington has been willing to lend Poland in the past but since the Ukraine crisis there are more US troops in Poland than ever before.
Mr Sikorski has not denied making the remarks. Both he and Prime Minister Donald Tusk say the government has come under attack from an "organised group of criminals". It is illegal to record a conversation in Poland without the participants' knowledge.
In a tweet, Mr Sikorski wrote: "In UK, illegal taping of politicians and celebrities led to prosecutions for eavesdroppers and journalists. And the closing of the News of the World."
The need to uphold the law whilst protecting freedom of speech was at the heart of the most dramatic moment of this scandal. Last week, following the first set of revelations, security forces raided Wprost's offices to try to obtain the tapes.
News channels were tipped off about the raids and plainclothes officers' attempts to wrestle the laptop out of the firm grip of the editor-in-chief, Sylwester Latkowski, were broadcast live.
Outraged journalists began gathering in Wprost's offices to loudly protest against the action, which was judged "unacceptable" by the OSCE.
Mr Tusk admitted his government would suffer as a result despite, he said, the raid being ordered by independent prosecutors investigating the illegal recordings. He added that if the crisis could not be contained, early elections were an option.
A day later Wprost said a businessman who labelled himself "Patriot" sent them an email with internet links to four recordings.
He was apparently the source of the first recordings too.
On Tuesday, Polish media reported that one of the country's wealthiest businessmen, identified as Marek F, had been detained in the affair.
The businessman is reportedly co-owner of one of the country's biggest coal distributors, skladywegla.pl. Earlier this month 10 managers from the company were arrested on suspicion of fraud, VAT extortion, and money laundering as part of a government investigation into illegal coal imports from Russia.
Sections of the media are now focusing on who is behind the scandal and what their motivations are following the debacle of the Wprost raid.
The daily Gazeta Wyborcza has reported that investigators are pursuing a theory that waiters and a manager at two exclusive Warsaw restaurants began recording businessmen. The tapes would then have been sold back later to those bugged.
And then politicians began being recorded and those ended up in the hands of the person who supplied Wprost.
The scandal has seriously damaged the reputation of Mr Tusk's government, which just a few weeks ago was enjoying renewed popularity for its leading role in the wake of the Ukraine crisis.
Early elections might be avoided. The governing coalition has a majority. If it sticks together, it can vote down attempts to unseat it.

But he faces competition from fellow midfielders Fabian Delph, Ross Barkley, Jack Wilshere and Jordan Henderson.
"I'm just trying to do what I'm best at and if that doesn't get me in then I'll have to hold my hands up," he said.
"There's some real talent in the midfield, so if I miss out I'll make it a target [to get in the England squad in the future]."
Hodgson will announce his final squad ahead of the deadline on 31 May.
Drinkwater and his club team-mates took part in a Premier League champions parade through Leicester on Monday, with an estimated 240,000 people turning out to watch.
The former Manchester United trainee described the scenes as "unbelievable", but already has one eye on the Foxes' 2016-17 Premier League campaign.
He told BBC Radio Leicester: "We want to try to retain the trophy - it's a target, plus we're new to the Champions League at the club.
"Hopefully we can impress in that and retain the title at the same time."

The 24-year-old former Scotland Under-21 international also has an option of a further year.
Oxford head coach Michael Appleton said: "He scores his fair share of goals but is also a very hard worker.
"He will give us options going forward and I think he will be a very good signing for this club."
Banbridge, who were appearing in the last 16 of the tournament for the first time, trailed 1-0 at half-time thanks to a Christophe Peters-Deutz strike.
Matthew Allister, a pre-match injury doubt, levelled by scoring into an empty net 11 minutes from time.
Lisnagarvey face Spanish giants Atletic Terrassa in Eindhoven on Saturday.
The Spanish side will be aiming to reach the final four for the second successive season when they take on Jonathan Bell's Irish outfit at 09:30 BST.
'Garvey will hope to become the first Irish club to make the last eight of the competition, but must make a couple of changes to their squad.
Michael Robson is not eligible as he joined the club from Annadale after the European deadline, while Timmy Cockram is also unavailable.
Irish internationals Paul Gleghorne and Sean Murray have knocks but are likely to play a part on Saturday.
Banbridge faced the French champions on Friday, having successfully negotiated Round One last October on their home patch at Havelock Park.
Mark Tumilty's side, who are in the running to win the Irish Hockey League next week, responded well to going a goal down, with Jonny McKee and Eugene Magee both going close to finding an equaliser.
McKee eventually provided the assist for Allister to turn in from close range, but the French side held their nerve to reach the last eight by scoring all of their penalties.
An Aboriginal elder sets fire to a cluster of native leaves, letting pungent smoke curl into the sweltering summer sky.
This traditional smoking ceremony is not taking place in the bush, however. Rather, he stands next to a steady stream of traffic in Blacktown in western Sydney.
The ceremony marks the start of Home Country, a play that takes place entirely in a multi-level car park, with storytelling juxtaposed against manmade concrete.
According to the 2011 Australian census, 32% of people in greater Blacktown are from countries where English is not their first language. Set in an urban centre with more than 180 different nationalities, the performance asks: who can call Australia home?
"It's a conversation that we think we should be having as a country. And we're really well placed in western Sydney to have that conversation," says director Rosie Dennis of the Sydney Festival world premiere, a joint Urban Theatre Project (UTP) and Blacktown Arts Centre production.
Located around 35km (28 miles) from Sydney's central business district, Blacktown has more than double the New South Wales state average for murders and triple the number of robberies.
Yet Home Country wants to reach out to the local population by slashing prices for residents, who pay just A$20 (£12; $15) instead of the usual A$59 ticket price. It also seeks to take theatre out of elite buildings into everyday spaces - in this case, the car park.
"We're looking at multiple perspectives and waves of migration, as well as traditional custodians of the land," says Dennis. "Each work is stand-alone. It's not a single vision, it's a multiple vision that adds to the layer of complexity of the conversation."
Those visions - performed by actors ranging from Aboriginal to African - include two neighbours making small talk on a balcony that ends in a heated discussion of race, and a second-generation Greek man who questions what home might be like without his sick mother.
With the audience guided through different spaces, it aims to provide a more nuanced portrait of both Blacktown itself and the different immigrants who make up Australia.
"If you're not first nations people, you've come here from somewhere else. We're all visitors," points out Ugandan-Australian hip-hop artist Kween G, who acts as MC for Home Country, and moved to Australia as a child seeking asylum with her family.
Central is a communal feast included in the ticket. On a hot Friday night, as the sun went down over the Blue Mountains, Ethiopian food was dished out to the sounds of the kanun, a string instrument common in the Middle East, West Africa and Central Asia.
Food is intimately connected to identity and a route into another culture. It's also a conversation starter, says Julieanne Campbell, general manager of UTP: "When you have a shared meal, conversation and connection with people is part of the eating experience."
Nutritionist and audience member Linda Mitar, 39, agrees. Tearing into injera, an East African flatbread, she looks around the feast for 200 people, where guests range from small children to those in their sixties.
"I've spoken to every other person at the table which I normally wouldn't do - it's communal and goes with the theme of being welcomed," says Mitar, who was attracted to Home Country's juxtaposition of "ancient wisdom and sacred ritual in the centre of a busy city".
The event has made her rethink her views on Blacktown, too: "It did have the worst reputation. But given installations like this, it's made me realise how I've under-utilised and haven't appreciated what it can offer."
For local Robert Harcourt, 50, also attending, Blacktown is often "a place people have forgotten about". But he says that's changing because "there's growing pride".
"The past has been designed around the needs of cars," he adds. "To see for one night the cars cleaned out of here and thus space handed over to the public as a place of theatre, of music, of food, of community, that's the strongest thing for me."
For creators, it was crucial to turn spectators into participants and knock down the so-called fourth wall in theatre.
The setting is "outdoors, its connected to a local area, it's in a high point in the city, so you get a vista," says Campbell. "It's a sense of the everyday as well. When you're doing a work that's set in western Sydney, a car park is somewhat relevant to people's lives."
Most important, Home Country acts as a source of inspiration. Aboriginal actor Billy McPhersan, who plays Uncle Cheeky, a chirpy, if emotionally lost, elder, believes that the play shows what's possible.
"Nothing like this happens out here," he says. "But I reckon [Blacktown] is going to be on fire."
But could the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union have an impact on the event? And how will other sports cope?
We canvassed opinion - from the Ryder Cup to rugby union, and Formula 1 to horse racing.

The Ryder Cup team symbolically plays under the EU flag and is likely to have several players from the UK such as Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose at the 2016 renewal at Hazeltine, Minnesota, in September.
A spokesperson for Ryder Cup Europe said: "The criteria for being European in Ryder Cup terms is a geographical one (ie from countries who make up the continent of Europe) not a political or economic one (ie countries who make up the EU).
"Therefore the result of the UK referendum has no bearing in Ryder Cup qualification terms.
"In terms of the flag flown to represent the European Ryder Cup team, we consider that the blue and gold flag of Europe represents the continent of Europe and, as a broad symbol of Europe as a whole, we therefore plan to continue to use it."
From Andrew Benson, BBC Sport chief F1 writer
"Formula 1 is the most international of sports. Employees move teams and countries with regularity. Drivers, engineers and team bosses alike are employed and celebrated for their skills, not because of where they come from.
"As such, the uncertainty and potential costs of the UK leaving the European Union are likely to leave many teams feeling uneasy and uncertain.
"How will Brexit affect the so-called "motorsport silicon valley" in the south-east of England and its network of support industries - a self-fertilising and perpetuating talent pool?
"If free movement of labour and trade are lost, that will inevitably make the practicalities of running a team more complex. McLaren chairman Ron Dennis has even said EU membership is "fundamental" to the success of his company.
"F1 teams are as pragmatic in their behaviour as they are global in outlook. They can be counted on to do whatever is best for their business and competitiveness."
Paul Shapiro, a sports lawyer with Charles Russell Speechlys, outlines how changes to work permits could affect rugby union.
"In rugby, unless a player can qualify on other grounds such as ancestry, players from outside the EU from tier one and two rugby nations must have started at least one full 15 a-side international match during the 15 months immediately prior to the date of the application to be eligible for a visa.
"Players from other countries must have started an international match in the last 15 months and have played in a minimum of 10 full internationals during their playing career. Therefore, while established current internationals, such as Louis Picamoles (France/Toulouse), would pass this test, uncapped players and those who have been retired from the international game for a long period, would be ineligible under these requirements. Based on the current make-up of the Premiership, this could affect Irish nationals the most.
"However, it is unlikely that the criteria in football and rugby in its current form will be applied to EU nationals as the rules were drafted with no consideration for the UK being outside the EU.
"Although it is not possible to say at the moment with any certainly what the changes we will be, these rules will change to reflect the UK's new position in Europe. In the intervening period, it is incredibly unlikely that any player will be deported so the impact will be felt by those who arrive after the two-year time period for exiting the EU has expired."
A Premiership Rugby statement said: "Once a clearer position is understood across Europe, a thorough review of the regulations pertinent to foreign players will take place in due course."
Brexit and the subsequent resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron has raised questions over the replacement for the sport's fundrasing mechanism - the Horserace Betting Levy - which is due to be introduced in April of next year.
Other issues that will need to be addressed include how Gibraltar-based bookmakers will be affected and how a new immigration policy could impact on the recruitment of stable staff.
The British Horseracing Authority said it had been proactive in preparing for the implications of a Leave vote and would work closely with Government officials.
"The expectation is that there will not be a substantial impact on most of these areas, or the overall regulation and running of the sport, certainly in the short term," said Will Lambe, the BHA's director of corporate affairs.
"The key piece of domestic and primary legislation which provides for an income stream for British racing from all forms of betting activity, including that through offshore remote betting operators, has already been passed. "
The England and Wales Cricket Board said it was considering the impact of the vote on cricket.
"We will discuss this with our stakeholders, the Government and other sporting bodies before we comment further," said a statement.
In tennis, the All England Club - home of Wimbledon - is a business keen on trying to expand in other areas around the world, but it is not thought likely to be significantly affected by the decision.
Delayed visa applications for European fighters could affect some smaller shows and promoters in boxing, particularly when opponents are needed as late replacements.
The Lions laboured to a 13-7 win against the Provincial Barbarians on Saturday, three days after arriving in New Zealand.
Head coach Warren Gatland says the players were still struggling to adjust to the time difference.
"It's an easy cop out to say these guys are jetlagged," Jones told the BBC Rugby Union Weekly podcast.
"If you go down the line of [saying it's] a scratch side, with jetlag, you can use that excuse only once on a tour, ever. You cannot go back on that.
"They have known a long time out they were going to play this game, so they had to go through their professional routines to get them into sync."
The Lions already face a decisive week on the tour, with matches against the Blues on Wednesday and the in-form Crusaders on Saturday.
The schedule has been labelled "suicidal" by former New Zealand coach Graham Henry, but Jones says the itinerary is a "non-issue."
"Let's not worry about the brutality of this tour, because they have 41 players," added Jones, who played in 79 Tests for New Zealand between 1990 and 1999.
"So that's a non-issue. Don't even worry about how tough this tour is.
"With 15 players you can call it brutal, but they have 41 players remember, and a huge medical staff, so it shouldn't be raised."
Jones played alongside Lions boss Gatland throughout the 1990s, and was coached by his fellow Kiwi when a player at Wasps at the turn of the century.
"I back Warren Gatland wholeheartedly," Jones added.
"A) because I've been coached by the guy, B) because I've played alongside the guy and know what he means, and C) because he can get things right off the field.
"When you get things right off the field, it just translates to things on the field."
The Lions have embarked on a charm offensive with the New Zealand public so far on this trip, and on Sunday visited the Waitangi Treaty Grounds for an official Maori welcome, or pōwhiri.
Despite fears the Lions are putting too much stall in off the field commitments, Jones feels embracing the Kiwi culture will be crucial to success.
"What he's doing off the field in terms of getting his players out there to meet New Zealanders, understand what New Zealand rugby is all about, learning the culture; it's 100% important," Jones continued.
"Once the Lions players get into the mind of Gats, or get into the minds of the New Zealand public and understand what rugby means to us - playing a home - I think that's actually a really important thing."
BMC rider Porte won the 23.5km time trial from La Tour-du-Pin to Bourgoin-Jallieuin in 28 minutes seven seconds, 12 seconds ahead of German Tony Martin.
Team Sky's Froome, the defending champion, was eighth, 37 seconds behind former team-mate Porte.
Belgian Thomas de Gendt, a further five seconds behind in ninth, leads Porte by 27 seconds in the overall standings.
Froome is aiming to win the Tour de France for a fourth time this summer, with each of his previous victories in 2013, 2015 and 2016 preceded by winning the Dauphine.
However, he admitted the time trial results "change the dynamic" of the race.
He said on the Team Sky website. "If I'd gained time then I could have ridden more defensively on the climbs. Now that I've got time to make up it means I can be more offensive.
"We've got three big days of climbing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That will be another big test to see exactly where everyone is at."
Spaniard Alejandro Valverde, riding for Movistar, was third on the stage to move up to third overall, 51 seconds behind De Gendt.
Spain's Alberto Contador was seventh, two seconds ahead of Froome, who trails De Gendt by 64 seconds in the general classification.
Frenchman Romain Bardet, runner-up to Froome in last year's Tour, lost almost two minutes.
Thursday's fifth stage features six categorised climbs, five of them coming in the opening 80km of the 175km race, but they are not expected to be tough enough to cause any huge changes in the overall standings.
1. Richie Porte (Aus/BMC Racing) 28mins 07secs

Durrant, 45, is the BDO's world number one and was the top seed at this year's World Championship at Lakeside.
However, the Middlesbrough thrower lost 5-4 to Scott Waites in the quarter-finals on Friday.
Durrant told BBC Tees in December that he would make a decision on his future after the tournament.
He won six ranking titles in 2015, including the prestigious World Masters and Finder Masters events.
A statement on the BDO website read: "Sue Williams, head of the British Darts Organisation, has announced that after speaking to Glen, he will be staying with the BDO and will not be attending (the PDC's) Q School later this month."
Q School takes place in Wigan on 13-16 January, with 16 players earning automatic Tour cards to play full-time on the Professional Darts Corporation circuit.
Further places will be available based on finishing positions in the final Q School Order of Merit.

They hope thousands of people will log their sightings in order to give scientists a vital insight into the health of bee populations.
There is growing concern about wild bee numbers, as many species have recorded a serious decline in recent years.
Participants can also submit their data on the Great British Bee Count website.
The app - developed by charity Buglife, Friends of the Earth and retailer B&Q - allows users to report the species, number and location of bees they spot between now and the end of August.
The submissions will provide data to the National Biodiversity Network, which collates data from a wide range of national, regional and local organisations in order to provide a comprehensive overview of UK wildlife.
"The data that people collect will do an important job to help scientists fill in the blanks about where bees are thriving and where they are in trouble," explained bumblebee conservation expert Prof Dave Goulson from the University of Sussex.
Andy Atkins, executive director of Friends of the Earth, added: "The great thing is that you do not have to be an expert, everyone can get involved and be part of the generation that helps save our bees."
According to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, there are about 250 species of bee in the UK, and the survey hopes to build up a more detailed picture of the range and behaviour of certain species.
For example, the establishment of the non-native tree bumblebee on these shores, since its arrival at the turn of the century. Researchers would be interested to know more about the species' spread northwards.
Plan bee
The plight of the bumblebee and other pollinators has been making headlines across Europe in recent years since the use of certain pesticides, known as neonicotinoids, was linked to a dramatic decline in bee populations.
In April 2013, amid growing concern about the use of the chemicals on crops, the European Commission announced an EU-wide two-year moratorium on three neonicotinoid chemicals on crops attractive to bees.
The UK government opposed the introduction of the restrictions but has since said it accepts the ban but not the science behind it.
A public consultation on plans to establish a National Pollination Strategy, aimed at protecting the insects that pollinate food crops and wild plants and flower, closed recently.
The government is expected to publish the strategy later in the year.
The Black Mirror star admitted that 2015 will be the first time in a long time that he has no job to look forward to, but could that change by him joining the cast of Game of Thrones?
Hamm is most famous for playing media executive Don Draper in Mad Men, about the US advertising industry in the 1960s.
The second half of the final series will air in 2015.
But Jon has told Newsbeat that he's looking for any opportunity to be part of the Game Of Thrones crew.
"Game of Thrones would be great, yeah" he admitted. "Anything with a sword would be awesome.
"I've not read the books, although I did have dinner once with George RR Martin, which was really cool and it took everything in me to not ask how it all ends and who wins.
"So maybe, I don't know how it ends, but maybe I could be the one who wins the Game of Thrones."
Jon is starring in the next instalment of Black Mirror alongside Oona Chaplin and Rafe Spall, and this time it is a feature-length special.
"It's three stories that are interlinked," Jon said about his new show.
"Rafe and I exist in this remote outpost and we start unspooling these stories.
"So it's very much similar to sort of a creepy fireside chat in many ways, but it all pulls together in a very satisfyingly disturbing way."
The 43-year-old also revealed that he comes from a town about two miles from Ferguson.
There were violent protests there and in several other US cities in November.
They were caused by a jury's decision not to charge a policeman over the killing of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.
"I used to ride my bike through Ferguson to go buy comic books, because the comic book store was on the other side," said Hamm.
"I'll say this about that, obviously it's an incredibly difficult situation and unfortunately a young man lost his life, that's the end of the argument with that.
"But the society and media landscape that we live in now, lets us immediately jump to judgement and jump to a narrative that isn't necessarily supported by factual evidence or really any evidence. It's just all pure emotion.
"And it's unfortunate because it tends to, what do they say, a lie can get around the world faster before the truth pulls its socks on, you know, something like that.
"And it's tough, it's very, very difficult, because obviously there was wrongdoing there. And you can't look at it in any other way.
"But it's also painted an unfortunate representation of the community.
"Again, I'm from there, I know a lot of people that still live in Ferguson and I grew up right around the corner from it.
"And it's not this kind of lawless place that's been sort of painted in the media. I think people do that for their own specific prejudices and reasons, and that's not helpful.
"You know a helpful thing would be for everybody to take two steps back, take a breath and really take a look at it, instead of just immediately going to 11 and screaming as loud as they can on Twitter and on Facebook.
"You know, as soon as they put a camera up, everybody goes crazy. And it's too bad, because it's a lovely community and it's worth a deeper discussion."
Jon also commented on reports that he was snubbed for the recent nominations for the Society of Actors Guild (SAG) awards and the Golden Globes.
"If people feel like I was deserving of an award nomination and didn't get it, that's a lovely sentiment, but we've been on the air for a long time."

Organisers wanted more than 500 people to join in the effort at Glyndwr University's sports centre.
Sasha Kenney was behind the move as she tried to get into the Guinness Book of Records for a second time after hula hooping the London Marathon course.
The attempt was part of the Wrexham Fitness Festival, which encourages people to get active.
Official confirmation will need to be gained, but organisers believed they were close to setting a record.
The current record is 407 people, who took part in a hula hoop workout in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, in March 2013.
The Norwegian overtook long-time leader Jeremy Roy of France in the final two kilometres to secure his first stage win of this year's Tour.
Another Frenchman, David Moncoutie, came second with Roy finishing third.
Home rider Thomas Voeckler finished in the peloton, more than seven minutes behind, but retained the yellow jersey.
"I really didn't think I would win this stage," said Hushovd, who took the race lead when helping his Garmin team win stage two's team time trial and held it for a week.
"I did things right tactically. It's true that I descend very well. I knew I had to. It was super."
For the second day in a row, FDJ rider Roy was in the thick of the action during a stage which included the hors categorie ascent of the imposing Col d'Aubisque.
The Frenchman was part of a 10-man breakaway group which pulled clear after the day's first climb - the category-three Cote de Cuqueron.
The disappointment is too big, it will be hard to take in
At the foot of the Col d'Aubisque Hushovd went clear, but Roy counter-attacked and caught the Norwegian before passing him with 50km to go.
Roy had a nervous moment when a fan got too close and brushed him with a flag, forcing him to swerve, but he still looked set for his maiden Tour de France victory and the first for a Frenchman in this year's Tour.
Hushovd had other ideas though and worked with Moncoutie to reel Roy back in before launching a solo attack to pick up the ninth stage win of his career.
"The disappointment is too big, it will be hard to take in," said Roy. "It's too hard for me. Only victory counts."
Yellow jersey holder Voeckler, who assumed the lead from Hushovd on the ninth stage, retained his lead of one minute and 49secs in the general classification.
Other leading contenders, including defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain and two-time runners-up Andy Schleck and Cadel Evans, could not take any time off each other as they conserved energy for Saturday.
Isle of Man rider Mark Cavendish retained the green jersey after finishing 129th overall, more than 22 minutes adrift, but saw his lead trimmed to 13 points.

It follows three days of industrial action by CalMac staff last week which culminated in a 24-hour strike.
The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) has sent out strike ballot papers to about 100 of its members who work for CalMac.
CalMac managing director Martin Dorchester said he was "extremely disappointed" by the RMT's decision.
The Scottish government said it was "very disappointing" that the RMT felt the need to call further strike action on one of the busiest weekends of the summer for ferry services.
Like CalMac, Argyll Ferries is owned by the state-owned David MacBrayne Group.
Talks between CalMac and the RMT are due to be held on Monday.
Talks planned for earlier this week were postponed by the ferry operator due to "unforeseen circumstances".
RMT members at Argyll Ferries did not take part in last week's industrial action, but the union said the staff was increasingly concerned about job security.
CalMac's contract to run the Clyde and Hebrides ferry services comes to an end next year.
The Scottish government has put the contract out to tender, in line with European rules.
The RMT union has concerns that, regardless of who wins, the new contract will see changes in employees' current terms and conditions.
A reduction in staff numbers and pensions are key areas of concern.
The RMT has asked that the government guarantee in the new contract that compulsory redundancies do not happen and existing terms and conditions are continued.

RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "Despite the most strenuous efforts to negotiate a settlement on CalMac we are still not getting the clear assurances that we seek that will defend the safety-critical jobs and working conditions that go hand in hand with delivering safe and efficient lifeline ferry services to the communities that we serve.
"It is a cold hard fact that privatisation is all about a race to the bottom in order to maximise profits and our members will not sit back while they are caught in the crossfire of the tendering process."
He added: "Our members on Argyll Ferries now find themselves staring down the barrel of exactly those same kind of attacks on jobs and working conditions and have delivered a massive and rock-solid mandate for action."
Mr Dorchester said: "We are extremely disappointed that the RMT has chosen to continue with strike action.
"The best way to protect the existing terms and conditions of its members is to work with us to ensure we win the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Service (CHFS) contract and this action is damaging.
"We are anxious to avoid any more disruption which is not in the best interests of our employees and the communities we serve and would urge all our colleagues to turn out for work."
Two-thirds of state-owned CalMac's ferry services were cancelled last Friday during the 24-hour strike by RMT members, who make up about half of the company's workforce.
The dispute has been triggered by unions' concerns about the new contract to run the Clyde and Hebrides ferry services.
CalMac's current deal to operate the network comes to an end next year.
The Scottish government has put the contract out to tender, in line with European rules.
The unions have raised concerns that, regardless of who wins, the new contract will see changes in employees' current terms and conditions.
A reduction in staff numbers and pensions are key areas of concern.
The unions have asked that the government guarantee in the new contract that compulsory redundancies do not happen and existing terms and conditions are continued.
A Scottish government spokesman said: "We have been continuing to talk with the RMT Union, so it is very disappointing that they feel the need to call further strike action on one of the busiest weekends of the summer for our ferry services.
"Discussions between Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure Keith Brown and RMT representatives took place in London earlier this week and both parties committed to further dialogue."
The spokesman added: "To comply with EU procurement law, Scottish ministers cannot compel bidders to guarantee no compulsory redundancies.
"Bidders can make a voluntary commitment through tendering processes, as was the case in the recent ScotRail franchise.
"We would seek to achieve a similar outcome in the next CHFS contract, regardless of the outcome of the tendering process, and will pursue this objective vigorously.
"This position has been made very clear to the RMT union in recent talks."
The Culham Centre for Fusion Energy near Oxford is largely funded by the EU and dozens of its scientists come from outside the UK.
Since the vote for Brexit, many at the centre have become "extremely nervous" amid uncertainty about future financing and freedom of movement.
Five researchers have already returned to continental Europe with others said to be considering their positions.
Fusion is the process that powers the Sun and a decades-long quest has attempted to replicate it here on Earth to provide a clean source of energy.
Since the 1970s, the Culham centre has hosted an experimental reactor known as the Joint European Torus (JET) that holds the global record for sustaining the longest burst of fusion.
It is the largest single research centre funded by the European Union in Britain.
Among many scenarios being discussed, the most extreme would see the reactor closed down and dismantled with its key components shared out among remaining members of the EU.
This comes just as preparations are under way for an important new run of fusion tests next year.
The JET facility works by creating a powerful magnetic field to contain the extremely high temperatures needed to force hydrogen atoms to fuse together and release energy.
The aim is to harness a potentially limitless source of power that would leave far less waste than the current generation of fission reactors and would at the same time generate electricity without carbon emissions.
Around 100 EU scientists from outside Britain are currently at the site and, according to Prof Steve Cowley, who was director of the facility until recently, many are "extremely nervous".
He told the BBC: "We've certainly lost a few people already - these are highly talented people at the very forefront of scientific discovery and we can't afford to lose them.
"This is the world's greatest fusion lab and if we don't find a way to make an agreement with Europe, this will all go - and our lead in this area will have been dissipated and I think that's an enormous shame."
"We'd be bonkers to close it down, and Europe would be bonkers to close it down, but these are uncertain times."
European funding runs at about 60m euros a year and the big unknown is whether that will continue - or at what level - once the UK leaves the EU.
Under the current arrangement, the UK contributes about 45m euros a year to Europe's fusion programme - and gets more money back with £45m a year to run the JET facility plus another £7m a year to support research.
A five-year contract is in place but it only runs until 2018 so concerns are focused on what happens after then.
Over the decades, hundreds of European scientists and engineers have spent time at Culham to work at JET and for many years there was even a European school for their children.
At lunchtime in the canteen recently, I met European members of staff who all said they were uncertain about their futures.
Stanislav Pamela, a theorectical physicist from France, told me: "I think it's quite worrying to know what's going to happen after the current contract has expired.
"It's a concern not only for the European people here but also for the English people because it puts the whole institute at risk."
Lidia Peron, an Italian physicist, said: "I'm a little bit worried about my family - what's going to happen to my children, if the work is going to continue."
Damien Karkinsky, a software engineer with dual UK-Bulgarian nationality, summed up the uncertainty view by saying "nobody knows what will happen".
"We don't want to move our jobs but if the EU decides to close the programme, we may have to find different places of employment."
The belief at the Culham centre is that having proved the basic science of fusion, the project is moving into a phase of engineering in which designs for an affordable commercial reactor are explored.
At the site, a smaller research reactor known as MAST is going through a £50m upgrade and, together with JET, it is meant to provide invaluable data on different designs and materials for a future reactor.
The information gained from this research is seen as crucial for shaping a massive international fusion effort, an experimental fusion reactor known as ITER, being built at Cadarache in southern France - many of whose design features are derived from work at Culham..
And, beyond ITER, plans are already being developed for the first fusion power station, a project called DEMO - British officials had high hopes that Culham would land the prestigious task of designing it. Now they are much less confident.
In the meantime, any future arrangements for Culham will depend on settling several fundamental questions.
First, as a member of the EU, the UK is also a member of a related body called Euratom which co-ordinates nuclear research across the EU - will the UK automatically leave that too in March 2019?
Second, Europe's fusion funds are channelled via a collaborative organisation called EUROfusion. That also includes Switzerland - which is outside the EU - so would Britain try to negotiate a similar kind of membership and how long would that take?
Third, EUROfusion comes under the EU's Horizon 2020 research programme which non-EU countries can be part of, provided they contribute funds to it.
So will the UK government be willing to continue writing the cheques? And, if it is, will it run into similar problems to Switzerland which is a participant but may be denied funds because of its restrictions on freedom of movement?
Staff at Culham are running through a range of possible scenarios for their future from the worst-case of closure to one in which work continues.
Their hope is that the UK will agree to contribute to the Horizon 2020 programme post-Brexit and so enable funds to continue flowing to fusion research, and that work permits will be easily available for European scientists and engineers.
But clarity on the likely outcome is not easy to come by. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy declined requests for an interview with science minister Jo Johnson.
A spokesperson said: "There has been no change in our participation in the EU's nuclear fusion research programme.
"The UK is a key contributor to joint EU research projects and we will be working closely with our EU partners to ensure international collaboration in this field continues."
The spokesperson referred me to earlier statements that the UK would underwrite any commitments under Horizon 2020 made before the UK leaves the EU.
EUROfusion declined to comment beyond guiding me to a statement posted the day after the referendum which said: "We will be working hard to continue the collaboration after 2018. If and how this is possible is impossible to say today."

The 10m-diameter drill-head tore through the rock to cheers and applause from watching workers.
The 57km (35 mile) Gotthard rail tunnel has taken 14 years to build and is not likely to open before the end of 2016.
But it is expected to revolutionise transport across Europe, providing a high-speed link between the north and south of the continent.
Eventually, trains will travel through it at speeds of up to 250km/h (155mph).
Journey times between Zurich and Milan are likely to be slashed by as much as one-and-a-half hours.
The event, which took place shortly after 1415 (1215 GMT), was broadcast live on Swiss TV and watched by transport ministers across Europe.
By Imogen FoulkesBBC News, Sedrun, Swiss Alps
Tunnel builders cheered and raised their glasses as the huge 10m tunnel-boring machine, nicknamed Sissi, crashed through the last few metres of rock.
At the start of this mammoth project 14 years ago, many geologists told them it was impossible to bore a tunnel through here, saying the rock was too unpredictable and warning of dangers to anyone working underground.
Today the tunnellers and engineers have proved them wrong and, despite its price tag of $10bn, the Swiss are convinced this tunnel is worth it.
Europe's freight, rumbling through on the backs of 40-tonne lorries, has been clogging the alpine valleys for years: an estimated 3000 heavy goods vehicles pass through the Swiss Alps every day.
Switzerland wants that freight underground, on the railways, and the new tunnel should achieve just that - a completely flat, straight, high-speed link.
It will be another six years before the line is open, but today's breakthrough is, the Swiss say, a crucial step to improving Europe's transport network, and protecting the alpine environment.
The 9.8bn Swiss franc (£6.4bn; $10.3bn) project will take up to 300 trains each day underneath the Alps.
The length of the Gotthard tunnel exceeds the 53.8km Seikan rail tunnel linking the Japanese islands of Honshu and Hokkaido and the 50km Channel Tunnel linking England and France.
Many of the workers watched as the two ends of the tunnel met 2,000m underground.
The foreman lifted a statue of Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners, through a small hole in the drilling machine.
Some 2,500 people have worked on the tunnel and eight people have lost their lives during its construction.
A minute's silence was held as the workers' names were read out during a ceremony marking the tunnel's completion.
Chief construction officer Heinz Ehrbar said that amid all the celebration, it was "very important that we remember that not all of our workers can be with us, but we are proud and we will be very happy this evening."
Switzerland is one of Europe's major junctions for freight and the tunnel is part of a larger project aiming to move cargo off the roads and on to rail.
Improvements on the northern and southern approaches to the new Gotthard tunnel have been postponed, so trains will run on existing track there.
Unprecedented
The area already has the 34km Loetschberg rail tunnel, which opened in 2007, but this latest engineering feat is being hailed by leading members of the Swiss government as being of unprecedented significance.
Swiss Transport Minister Moritz Leuenberger said that the Gotthard Tunnel would become a spectacular and grandiose monument with which all tunnels would be compared.
Two other transalpine tunnels are planned to exceed 50km but are unlikely to be complete until the 2020s. One tunnel will connect Lyon in France to Turin in Italy and another is due to replace the Brenner tunnel between Austria and Italy.
The head of the Swiss Federal Transport Office, Peter Fueglistaler, said he was very happy with the achievement: "In Switzerland we are not a very emotional people, but if we have the longest tunnel in the world that's... very, very emotional."
Fianna Fáil's Micheál Martin referred to the fact that a majority in Northern Ireland (56%) voted to stay in the EU.
He said the result, in contrast to the overall UK vote to leave, could be a "defining moment".
Mr Martin said a referendum on a united Ireland should be called, if there was evidence of sufficient support for it.
The Fianna Fáil leader made the comments as he delivered the annual John Hume lecture at the MacGill Summer School in Glenties, County Donegal.
He said the strength of the remain vote in Northern Ireland during the EU referendum may show there is a need to "rethink current arrangements".
"It may very well be that the decision of Northern Ireland to oppose the English-driven anti-EU UK majority is a defining moment in Northern politics," he said.
Mr Martin added: "I hope it moves us towards majority support for unification, and if it does we should trigger a reunification referendum."
But he also said the evidence needed to call a referendum on united Ireland was not yet available.
"At this moment the only evidence we have is that the majority of people in Northern Ireland want to maintain open borders and a single market with this jurisdiction, and beyond that with the rest of Europe," Mr Martin said.
Last month, the then Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers ruled out Sinn Féin's call for a border poll on the reunification of Ireland.
She said: "The Good Friday Agreement is very clear that the circumstances where the secretary of state is required to have a border poll is where there is reason to believe there would be a majority support for a united Ireland.
"There is nothing to indicate that in any of the opinion surveys that have taken place.
"Again and again they demonstrate that a significant majority of people in Northern Ireland are content with the political settlement established under the Belfast Agreement and Northern Ireland's place within the United Kingdom."

John was Blue Peter's longest-serving presenter, appearing on the show from 1965 to 1978, and often seen with dog Shep by his side.
Blue Peter presenters always get up to lots of adventures on the show and John was no different.
He threw himself into various challenges including white water rafting, a record-breaking free fall parachute drop and even travelling up the Amazon in South America.
But one of the his most famous moments on Blue Peter was when a baby elephant was in the studio. The animal couldn't control its peeing and just wouldn't behave!
The head of the BBC, Tony Hall, said: "John Noakes was one of the BBC's most loved children's presenters. He was a warm and engaging presenter who appealed to all ages and provided children's TV with some of its most memorable moments. He will be missed by his many friends and family."
Researchers were able to show how the bacterium travelled by forensically analysing its genetic code.
The strains of the hospital infection seemed to become more severe after they became resistant.
The findings were published in the journal Nature Genetics.
The US Centers for Disease Control say C. difficile is linked to 14,000 deaths in the US each year.
The infection has been in hospitals for decades. However, there was growing concern in the last decade after large outbreaks in Europe, the US and Canada.
They were caused by a once rare variant of C. difficile which has become the most common cause of the infection in North America.
The genetic code of C. difficile mutates rapidly. By comparing the genetic code of batches of C. difficile, researchers can work out how related different batches of C. difficile are.
Doing this on a large scale, involving 151 samples from infections in 19 countries, allowed researchers to build up a picture of the spread of the antibiotic resistant strains.
It showed there was an strain called FQR1 which started in the US and spread across the country and to Switzerland and South Korea.
A second strain FQR2 started in Canada before spreading across North America, Europe and Australia. It entered the UK on four separate occasions.
Dr Trevor Lawley, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, told the BBC: "If we can understand how it happened there are lessons in that. It's a fact that two strains emerged which tells us this is more frequent than we realise and it is driven by antibiotic resistance.
"It also shows the global healthcare systems are completely interlinked - it showed up in the UK within months."
Prof Brendan Wren, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, has been studying C. difficile for 25 years.
He said: "Once it became fluoroquinolone resistant, it just seemed to become more severe and transmissible."
"Not only is [the antibiotic] virtually useless against this organism, but resistance seem to have been a major factor in the continued evolution and persistence of these strains in hospitals and clinical settings."
The cost and time taken to sequencing the whole genome of a bacterium has plummeted. It took less than a day at a cost of £40-60.
The hope is that in the future researchers will be able to monitor the spread of diseases while outbreaks are happening as well as getting a better understanding of the disease and how to stop it.
The police force said officers responded to more than 25,000 incidents across the region - about 1,000 more than in the previous year.
According to research for Devon and Cornwall Police about half were linked to alcohol or drugs.
Tony Hogg, the newly-elected police and crime commissioner, said the issue of domestic abuse would be a priority.
Mr Hogg, who officially takes up his role on Thursday, described it as a "serious threat to social cohesions, health and wellbeing and police resources".
"If you think of the costs of this behaviour in terms of the women's support agencies, social services taking children into care - massive amounts of money - I find it so damaging," he told BBC News.
Det Ch Insp Mike West, from the force's public protection unit, said no-one should have to put up with abuse in any form.
Rachel Martin from the South West charity ADVA (against domestic violence and abuse) said, while she welcomed the awareness campaign, it was a "myth" that violence only occurred because of alcohol.
"Perpetrators of domestic violence are abusive with and without it," she said.
"What we deal with currently is crisis management in our hospitals, GP practices and in our schools... and what we would benefit from is prevention," she said.
Christine Fritsch from Stop Abuse for Everyone said alcohol could contribute to an escalation of violence.
"Often victims use alcohol as an unhealthy way of coping with the impact of domestic abuse and violence, which in return can make victims more vulnerable and put them at even more risk," she said.
The alcohol and drug treatment charity Addaction said help was available for people who wanted it.
Castrillo Matajudios has now reverted to its previous title - Castrillo Mota de Judios ("Jew's Hill Fort").
Some 50 people who live there voted to change the name last year.
The controversial name may have been adopted in Medieval times by Catholic converts from Judaism keen to show their loyalty to the state.
Castrillo Mota de Judios has a long Jewish heritage - it was founded in 1035 by Jews fleeing persecution.
"The phrase 'Matajudios' did not correspond to the way this village thinks or acts these days, nor with our village flag, which has the Star of David on it," the village's mayor, Lorenzo Rodriguez, told the Independent after last year's vote.
The name change was approved by the regional government of Castilla y Leon, Associated Press reported.
Spain still has a village called Valle de Matamoros, or "Kill Moors valley" - a reference to the North African invaders who conquered parts of southern Spain, although there are no plans to change its name.

Texans will tell you they're God-fearing, cattle-rearing, straight-talking folk, and while inside the ring it's strictly apolitical, outside they don't mince their words.
"Wall it up," says one Texan simply, when asked about President Trump's plans for the border. "We don't need the criminals in here. Wall it up."
"The wall probably will never happen," says Kade Thigpen, "just because of geography. That simple."
"There's definitely some security measures that might be put in place that will hopefully help alleviate some of the illegal immigrants," says Mr Thigpen's wife, Kelley "but, you know, we need immigration."
Another rodeo fan, Billie Martz, talks of "wets" (a racist term referring to Mexicans who swim or wade across the Rio Grande) running up towards his truck.
"Most of the time they need water but you do see some carrying fully automatic weapons and you'd better just keep on going," he says with a smile.
On the border itself it's just as complicated.
"The facts have not changed," says Republican congressman Will Hurd whose West Texas district encompasses more than 800 miles (1,290km) of the border.
"Building a wall is the most expensive and least effective way to secure the border."
The wall, he warns, would "negatively impact the environment, private property rights and economy."
He's not the only conservative opponent of the president's plans.
In Texas, much of the land along the border is privately owned, and a 1970 treaty with Mexico prevents the construction of structures interfering with the flow of the river or its floodwaters.
Many ranchers are deeply reluctant to see a barrier slicing through their fertile fields on the Rio Grande. Landowners have fought previous plans for border barriers in the courts and may do so again.
Rancher Casey Worrell said the wall would take "prime real estate" used for livestock. He said some farmers on the border would rather pay Mexico to host the wall rather than, as President Trump proposes, the other way around.
As for immigration, while the perception may be of Mexicans pouring over the border, official statistics tell a more nuanced story.
In the weeks before the presidential election, then-Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said "far fewer Mexicans and single adults are attempting to cross the border without authorisation but more families and unaccompanied children are fleeing poverty and violence in Central America".
In fact, according to the US government, Central Americans apprehended on the southern border outnumbered Mexicans in 2014 and again in 2016.
According to the Pew Research Center, "unauthorised immigration" from Mexico "has steadily declined" since the start of the Great Recession in 2007.
This accords with the experience in McAllen, Texas. The town lies less than 100 miles from the eastern end of the 1,954 mile border where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico.
Across the divide every month come thousands of children like Yeneli Castillo Figueroa, not from Mexico but from Central America. She is just three years old and has been on the road with her family from Honduras for 13 perilous and terrifying days.
Like everyone arriving here during our visit, her mother, Jesenua Figueroa Nuillo, 40, says violence and poverty forced her to flee.
The journey "was hard because when you're an adult you understand," she told the BBC, in Spanish, "but babies get scared and they cry".
"There are parts of the forest where you walk in the dark. And when the police came my little girl knew she had to hide under the luggage and stay quiet."
Yeneli's big brother Dairin Castillo Figueroa, 17, agreed that the journey was tough but insisted it was worth it.
"It was cold and we shivered," he said, in Spanish, "but we had to endure it for the American dream, for a better life."
Many of the new arrivals hand themselves over to border security and are given an electronic ankle bracelet and a court date which they will use to seek asylum in the United States.
President Trump has suggested ending this policy known as "catch and release" either by building new detention centres or, it is now being reported by forcing them back over the border to Mexico, even if they are not Mexican citizens, a controversial approach which is certain to face legal challenges.
Many of the refugees enjoy their first hot meal in the United States along with a hot shower and the opportunity to select new clothes thanks to donors and volunteers at the Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in McAllen.
In fact it is the church which is making a stand in favour of the migrants on a wider stage.
Last week more than 20 bishops from Texas and Mexico gathered in the town for a cross-border conference. The treatment of immigrants was high on the agenda.
Daniel Flores, the bishop of Brownsville says a secure border with Mexico depends on solving problems further south, particularly in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
"People have a right to live in conditions in their own county where they are safe and secure and can provide for their children," he argues, adding that when those conditions are absent "there's something seriously wrong."
The answer, says the bishop, is "a hemispheric response".
Back in McAllen they know full well how intertwined the fates of Central America, Mexico and the US have become.
People don't just come here for a better life, they also like to shop.
The town relies heavily on Mexican trade and tourism. Its mayor, Jim Darling - who insists he is neither Republican nor Democrat - says that President Trump's tough talk is already having a chilling effect.
"You're affecting other people's pride and that has a backlash and unfortunately we're feeling the backlash not Washington DC," says the mayor.
A new visitor book has been launched at Sugar Loaf Halt, which is near Llanwrtyd Wells in Powys, on the Heart of Wales line.
It could take 25 years to fill the book, which has space for more than 3,500 entries.
By contrast, a similar book at the busiest station, Cardiff Central, would fill in just one morning.
It is hoped the book will help "capture some of the love for the little station with an interesting past".
Sugar Loaf Halt was built in 1868 to accommodate a small number of railway workers taking their children to school in Llanwrtyd.
It is cut into the rock and accessible from a gravel path off the A483.
It closed in 1965 but reopened in 1984, primarily for walkers and cyclists heading to the nearby Sugar Loaf hill.
Sugar Loaf has a total of 54 trains passing per week - but as it is a request stop, weeks can go by without the train stopping, especially at winter.
It also has one of the smallest platforms in the UK.

Apartheid in South Africa was one of the most contentious issues of the 20th century.
So when South Africa-born Basil D'Oliveira - banned from playing for the Proteas because of the colour of his skin - was named in England's squad to tour his native country in 1968, cricket crossed the sporting boundary into the political sphere.
England's tour to South Africa was cancelled as the ruling National Party refused to accept D'Oliveira's presence in the England squad.
The incident culminated in a ban on sporting ties with South Africa that would last for years.
In 1990, Mike Gatting led a team of England players to tour South Africa, defying a ban on playing there while the country remained segregated.
The tour ended prematurely when Nelson Mandela was released from prison, heralding the end of Apartheid.
The 28-year-old Colombian has spent the last two seasons at Juve, winning the Serie A title on both occasions.

Juve said: "The fee of 20m euros will be paid in three annual instalments."

The ex-Labour prime minister is closing his lobbying and consultancy business, Tony Blair Associates, and associated companies Windrush and Firerush.
In an email to staff, he said while he would retain a small number of commercial contracts, 80% of his time would be spent on not-for-profit work.
He has been criticised for the amount of profit the ventures have generated.
Mr Blair, who left frontline politics in 2007, is reported to have made millions advising a number of foreign governments and multinational firms.
Although the full range of his business activities has never been disclosed, Mr Blair was reported to have been paid £2m a year alone by JP Morgan after leaving office.
Earlier this year, it was claimed he had a lucrative deal advising the Kazakh government.
His links with Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev, who has ruled the country since 1989 and whose human rights record has been condemned, have been controversial.
Mr Blair, however, has rejected claims of any conflict of interest between his commercial and his not-for-profit work.
His not-for-profit ventures include his Faith Foundation and the Centre for Geopolitics and Religion, which focuses on addressing the root causes of Islamist extremism and supporting inter-faith dialogue.
Following a review of his business interests, Mr Blair said he had decided to refocus his activities and would give the "substantial financial reserves" generated by his businesses in recent years to not-for-profit causes.
In an email, he said: "Over the past nine years we have built a group of organisations employing around 200 people and working in more than 20 different countries round the world. It is time to take this to a new level.
"As I indicated last December at our annual all staff meeting, I want to expand our activities and bring everything under one roof.
"I also want now to concentrate the vast bulk of my time on the not for profit work which we do. De facto, this has been the case in the past two years but we need to reflect this change in the way we are structured."
He added: "I will retain a small number of personal consultancies for my income, but 80% of my time will be pro bono on the not for profit side."
Mr Blair, who is 63, was prime minister between 1997 and 2007. After stepping down, he served as a Middle East envoy for eight years. He and his wife Cherie also have substantial property investments in the UK.
Edinburgh said 1,231,712 passengers passed through the airport last month - a 10.8% year-on-year increase.
International traffic was up by 15.6% at just over 766,000.
Glasgow recorded a 16.5% increase in international passengers, with overall traffic climbing by 10% to more than 910,000.
The airport said there had been strong demand for European city destinations, including Eurowings' Dusseldorf route and Ryanair services to Brussels, Sofia and Valencia.
May also saw the airport's long-haul services climb by 15% as a result of greater demand for North American flights, while Easyjet's Bristol services and Loganair's Highlands and Islands routes helped boost domestic travel.
Glasgow Airport managing director Amanda McMillan said: "As we look ahead this month, the airport is gearing up for what is set to be our busiest June on record as the school term comes to an end and tens of thousands of families pass through our doors to head off on their holidays."
Yet as the Greek government battles to satisfy its creditors, and avoid exiting the single currency, its citizens face the very real possibility that the drachma - or an alternative - could return.
While there have been high-profile cases of countries switching currencies, in many ways Greece's situation is unique. Here are some things Athens has to consider.
We do not know what plans, if any, Greece has to replace the euro. But nor would we expect to.
A mere hint from any government that the money in their citizen's pockets will soon become worthless would send people rushing to the banks.
If the Syriza-led government is preparing an alternative currency, such plans will have been worked out in secret. This might involve a foreign firm creating the new notes.
A precedent is post-war Germany. In 1948, confidence in the currency had collapsed.
The allies, keen to restore economic stability, printed billions of Deutsche marks, as the new currency was called, and in a matter of days distributed it around the country. It was quickly accepted.
Whether Greece has the capacity for such a dramatic move is unclear, but the German case shows how decisive action can work.
Another example of a successful currency switch came in 1993 after Czechoslovakia spilt.
A currency union between the new Czech and Slovak nations lasted just 38 days, when it became clear the faltering Slovakian economy could not keep pace with its neighbour.
As in Germany, notes were printed in secret and distributed around the country with the help of the army.
But also important were the capital controls and bans on cross-border transfers, which kept money in state banks and prevented speculative flows between the two nations.
Greece already has capital controls, and its banks are closed, so in theory it has a head start, were it to introduce a new currency.
So you have printed wads of new notes and have your bank system on a tight leash. You now need to find a way to introduce the new currency, and phase out the old.
This is where it gets tricky. It took years of planning and careful transition to introduce the euro, yet Greece would have to bring a new currency in days.
Greece might run its new money side-by-side with the old, meaning shops for a period would accept both.
Citizens could only be allowed to swap a set amount of euros for cash, and be forced to deposit the rest, as the Czechs and Slovaks were compelled too.
The government would have to decide on an exchange rate to convert balances into the new currency. But would foreign buyers of Greek goods want to be paid in drachma?
In an interview with Britain's the Daily Telegraph, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis suggested his country could issue "California-style IOUs" as a way of introducing liquidity into a system thirsty for cash.
He was referring to California in 2009, when the US state, reeling from the financial crisis and unable to meet its bills, gave IOUs to contractors in lieu of payments.
This is not as outlandish as it sounds - the European Central Bank reportedly examined a scenario where the Greek state paid civil servants in IOUs.
The move would buy Greece time, and could ease the way to a formal new currency.
But unless such notes can easily be exchanged for goods, this would not help ordinary Greeks such as pensioners who rely on cash.
Greece already has the means to print more euros at its press in Holargos, a suburb of Athens, which once pumped out drachma.
Developing new banknotes is expensive, and difficult - the notes must be secure and be able to be recognised by cash machines - so such a scenario has appeal.
But this would not be the euro, but rather a "euro" - a parallel Greek version of the currency that is likely to devalue rapidly.
Greece could also look to its Balkan neighbours Kosovo and Montenegro if it fails to reach a deal. Despite the objections of the European authorities, both have unilaterally adopted the euro.
Such a move would give Greece a stable, internationally-recognised currency - but one in which they had no say.
Slovakia's economy may have been struggling when it abandoned its currency union with the Czech Republic, but it bounced back and later qualified for eurozone membership.
Estonia was the first to leave the Soviet rouble. Although the new currency was unstable at first, its adoption helped the country towards a successful free-market economy.
And having your own currency is not just a financial decision, but a point of national pride.
South Sudan introduced a new currency after it split from the north four years ago. Inflation has been a problem ever since, but for many in South Sudan it was an important way of asserting their new sovereignty.
East Germany is arguably still paying the price for adopting the Deutsche mark after reunification.
East Germans were able to exchange their eastern marks one to one - great for individuals, but industry was unable to compete with the advanced West German economy.
Introducing a new currency is possible - former Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus called it "a simple administrative thing to do" but its success depends on more than technical considerations.
Anything can be used as money, so long as there is confidence in it - it seems bizarre to think that Chinese traders once used cowrie shells, but imagine what they would make of Bitcoins.
A Greek break with the euro is unlikely to be clean, as its former currency will remain in circulation. It is unclear how readily a Greek society already divided over the euro would take to something new.
Babies born with tiny heads - or microcephaly - is the main concern in the Zika outbreak.
But the findings, published in the Lancet, show a fifth of babies that would be classed as normal actually had brain abnormalities.
And the Brazilian researchers warned Zika infection in newborns could also lead to brain damage.
Zika infection is largely mild, with most people having no symptoms.
But the World Health Organization has declared the Zika virus a global public health emergency because of the risk to newborn children.
In severe cases children can die and those that survive face intellectual disability and development delays.
The researchers' analysis of every reported case - 1,501 - in Brazil up to February shows the risk might be greater than thought.
The head has done most of its growth by 30 weeks' gestation. It is thought Zika infection after this point still affects the brain, but no longer shows up as microcephaly.
Pregnant women who had a rash - the main sign of Zika infection - late in the pregnancy were more likely to have a child with a normal-sized head.
Prof Cesar Victora, a researcher from the Universidade Federal de Pelotas in Brazil, said: "One in five definite or probable Zika cases had head circumference values in the normal range - therefore the current focus on microcephaly screening alone is too narrow.
"Our findings suggest that among pregnancies affected by Zika virus, some foetuses will have brain abnormalities and microcephaly, others will have abnormalities with normal head sizes, and others will not be affected.
"A surveillance system aimed at detecting all affected newborns should not just focus on microcephaly and rash during pregnancy and should be revised, and examination of all newborns during epidemic waves should be considered."
The fact the brain can still be affected in the later stages of pregnancy has led the researchers to speculate that "Zika virus infection in newborn babies might lead to neurological damage".
The researchers also found that a rash was not present in a third of infected mums-to-be.
The report said the microcephaly cases peaked at the end of 2015, about six to nine months after the Zika virus epidemic peaked in north-east Brazil.
Prof Victora added: "Because a new wave of Zika virus infection took place in south-eastern Brazil in early 2016, there could be a second wave of microcephaly at the end of the year."
Prof Jimmy Whitworth, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told the BBC News website: "The message this sends out is that there is broader concern than originally thought.
"It is about more than microcephaly, which is the tip of the iceberg, and the risk might extend longer in pregnancy and even to birth.
"We're hampered by the lack of a reliable diagnostic test for Zika. It's hard to know if a woman has been infected."

Heathrow Airport Holdings' other UK airports include Stansted, Southampton, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
CIC was set up in 2007 to invest some of China's foreign exchange reserves.
Despite concerns in other countries about Chinese access to key assets, the UK has been developing closer business ties with China.
"It is fair to say that the UK has a more open relationship with China than many other major economies," said Stephen Joske, senior manager at AustralianSuper, a pension fund based in Beijing.
"There is certainly push all around the world for scrutiny of Chinese investment - it has been ringing alarm bells.
"It is unfair to an extent, as these deals are a win-win transaction. Politics has been overshadowing economics."
This is CIC's second major investment in UK infrastructure. In January, it bought 8.68% of the firm behind UK utility group Thames Water.
The latest airports deal will see the fund pay £450m ($726m) for a 10% stake in Heathrow Airport Holdings Ltd, which was previously known as BAA Ltd.
Under the terms of the agreement it will buy a 5.7% stake in FGP Topco Ltd from Spanish firm Ferrovial for £257.4m. FGP Topco is the holding company which owns Heathrow Airport Holdings Ltd.
CIC will get the remaining 4.3% stake from other shareholders of FGP Topco Ltd at a cost of £192.6m.
The Chinese investment company is not the first foreign firm to buy a stake in the Heathrow holding firm.
In August, Qatar Holdings bought a 20% stake, and this deal is currently awaiting approval from European competition regulators.
Foreign firms are increasingly looking at the UK for investment opportunities as the economic slowdown has pushed down the price of assets.
At the same time, problems in the eurozone have made the UK, which is not part of the European single currency, a more attractive and stable destination.
Earlier this year, Chinese telecoms and computer network firm Huawei Technologies said it was going to invest £1.3bn expanding its UK operations.
And while UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the investment showed that the UK was "open for business", similar moves in other countries have raised concerns.
Last month, the US claimed that Huawei and another Chinese firm posed a security risk and warned against doing business with them.
In a separate move, US President Barack Obama blocked a wind farm deal involving Chinese firm Ralls Corp, citing national security issues.
Australia, meanwhile, has previously blocked Huawei's plans to bid for work on its national broadband network.
Warm, still conditions combined with traffic fumes, pollution from Europe and Saharan dust from the south saw very high levels affect six regions.
Eastern and south-east England, the East Midlands, Greater London, west London, the West Midlands and Yorkshire and Humberside were all affected.
Parts of the UK have also experienced the hottest day of the year so far.
Areas of London saw the highest temperatures, with St James's Park reaching 21.9C (71.42F), Kew Gardens 21.7C (71.06) and Heathrow Airport recorded at 21.3C (70.34).
Defra said pollution could be dispersed by overnight Atlantic winds by Saturday.
It said that while no regions have reached the highest level of air pollution - rated as level 10 - six regions had recorded pollution levels of up to level 9.
In areas that experienced very high levels of air pollution, adults and children with lung problems, adults with heart problems and older people were advised to avoid strenuous activity.
People were also advised to avoid busy roads and those who carry a reliever inhaler, such as asthma sufferers were warned to always have it with them.
By James Gallagher, Health editor, BBC News website
Healthy people tend to notice air pollution as a dry throat, sore eyes or a tickly cough.
But it can have a more serious impact on health by being the trigger for a heart attack or by making asthma worse.
Even low levels of air pollution can harm the health of people who are particularly sensitive.
But on Friday pollution will hit "level 10" or "very high" - the highest category of air pollution in the UK.
It does not mean people need to stay indoors.
But it is the only category of air pollution at which at-risk people - those with heart or lung problems and the elderly - are told to completely avoid strenuous physical activity.
Even healthy people are told to cut down on the amount of physical exertion.
However, the pollution will be brief and levels will drop to low/moderate by Saturday.
Longer-term thinking 'needed' on air pollution

Dr Penny Woods, chief executive of the British Lung Foundation, said: "This latest high air pollution episode, coming so soon after the last, is troubling, and could again put people living with respiratory conditions at risk of worsening symptoms."
A Defra spokeswoman said: "This is expected to clear on Saturday and pollution levels will return to low throughout the morning."
Professor Paul Monks, chairman of the Air Quality Expert Group, said air pollution is not taken seriously enough because it is an "invisible menace".
"If they can't see it they often don't think about it," he said.
Ramsgate and other locations on the South Coast were also affected by pollution
Aside from the Sahara dust, the pollution is made up of various substances, including nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and ammonia.
These form particles in the atmosphere. The two most common measurements are particulate matter measuring 2.5 micrometres or less, known as PM2.5; and larger particles measuring 10 micrometres, known as PM10.
PM2.5 particles are thought to be particularly damaging because they are so small, they can penetrate into the deepest parts of the lungs.
They come primarily from vehicle exhausts.
WHO air quality guidelines
"This episode at the moment is one of about a dozen episodes a year," said Simon Birkett, founder of campaign group Clean Air in London.
"Day in day out the average levels of nitrogen dioxide on many roads in central London will tend on average to be the highest in the world."
A case brought by environmental lawyers Client Earth against the government over levels of air pollution that breach European Union rules is shortly to return to the Supreme Court.
Philip Insall, director of health for cycling charity Sustrans, described the state of air pollution in Britain as "criminal" and a "national embarrassment".
He said: "The next government will need to get a grip on air pollution.
"That will mean serious, dedicated investment and an effective programme of action to help more people out of their cars and choosing walking and cycling for short journeys."
European Union rules set limits on the levels of pollutants in the air such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and lead.
The Portela school used one of its floats to interpret a 2015 dam failure in Minas Gerais state.
Nineteen people were killed and hundreds of homes were destroyed in the mudslides in the Mariana area.
Portela's carnival float featured the giant figure of fisherman, crying out in distress over pollution.
Other members of the troupe walked alongside, carrying placards with emotive messages such as "Sadness", "Justice" and "SOS".
Thousands of fishermen sued the Samarco iron-ore mine for loss of earnings after the dam collapse saw millions of tonnes of toxic waste flow into nearby rivers and on to the Atlantic Ocean.
The two firms behind the mine, Vale and BHP Billiton, have been ordered to consolidate and settle compensation claims by the end of June this year.
The Portela school chose an overarching rivers theme for all its floats this year and paraded through Rio de Janeiro's Sambadrome in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Brazil's Globo newspaper said the atmosphere was tense when Portela's show began, as it followed a performance by the Unidos da Tijuca school. The the top of its float collapsed and dancers were thrown from a raised walkway.
However, Portela carried on and are now among the favourites to win the competition, which sees each school parading in turn in front of a panel of judges.
Brazil's carnival is often associated with frivolity, but the parade often carries deeper meanings and can cause controversy.
This year, the Imperatriz Leopoldinense samba school themed its entry on land rights of indigenous people, which was interpreted by some as an attack on agricultural businesses.
Brazil's Association of Cattle Breeders said in a statement: "It is unacceptable that the most popular Brazilian festival, which has the admiration and respect of our sector, should stage a show of sensationalism and unfounded attacks."
Ahead of the parade, indigenous leader Alessandra Munduruku told the Reuters news agency: "We will make carnival a political event until the attacks on us and our way of life are stopped."
Seventy-nine people are either dead or missing presumed dead after the London fire last week.
Cardiff council will now review all safety procedures and discuss "the need for sprinklers" in its nine high rises with the fire service.
Swansea city council has sprinklers and alarm systems installed in its 11 high rises, as does Flintshire in its three.
There are nine high rises in Cardiff, in areas such as Gabalfa, Whitchurch, Butetown and Llanedeyrn, with most 11 storeys but the highest 16.
While the Welsh Government made it compulsory for sprinklers to be fitted in all new-builds from 2016, the move was not retrospective.
In a briefing, cabinet member for housing Lynda Thorne, said this meant it "cannot be applied to existing unaltered premises".
However, despite regular risk assessments taking place, the local authority will now discuss the need for installing sprinklers.
In a letter to tenants following the London incident, it said the fire service advises the safest place for residents during a blaze is within their flat, unless it is directly affected.
"Each high-rise flat is built to be fire proof; this means fire should be contained within the individual flat," it read.
"It is worth noting that while there have been instances of fire in our high-rise blocks in the past, none have spread to adjoining properties."
The letter added that cladding used at Grenfell Tower, said to have contributed to the fire spreading, is different to that on Cardiff high rises.
"You may be aware that there is concern that a new cladding system installed at Grenfell Tower may have contributed to the spread of fire," the letter added.
"While several of our high-rise blocks were over clad in the early 1990s, this was done using traditional fire-retardant materials, different from those used in London.
"Your safety is our utmost concern and in order to satisfy any doubts you may have we will be engaging an independent firm of consultants to review the integrity of existing cladding systems."
A review of cladding used is now taking place at Channel View, Grangetown and The Maelfa, Llanedeyrn.
Her campaign, described as the world's longest hunger strike, had led to her being detained, and forced fed through a tube in her nose for over a decade.
She was held under a law that makes attempting suicide a crime.
The court in northeastern Manipur state granted her bail on Tuesday and asked her to reappear on 23 June.
Ms Sharmila has signed a personal bail bond and is expected to be released from her judicial custody in a local hospital after bail procedures are complete.
She tasted honey to symbolically break her fast in front of journalists in the hospital.
What next for world's longest hunger striker?
Ms Sharmila told the court in the state capital, Imphal, that she was a "prisoner of conscience" and she wanted to end her fast, be free and fight in local assembly elections.
"I have to change my strategy. Some people are seeing me as a strange woman because I want to join politics. They say politics is a dirty, but so is society. I want to stand in the elections against the government," she said.
She told reporters she had decided to "try a different [form of] agitation" because "I have been fasting for 16 years and I have not got anything from it yet".
Ms Sharmila had been protesting against the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), which gives soldiers sweeping powers to arrest without warrants and even shoot to kill in certain situations.
AFSPA is in effect in several Indian states, including in Manipur and Indian-administered Kashmir.
A hunger strike in pictures
Photographer Ian Thomas Jansen-Lonnquist has closely followed MS Sharmila's journey over the past few years.
She started her fast 16 years ago after 10 civilians were killed by Indian soldiers in Manipur.
She has spent most of the last 16 years in judicial custody in a hospital in Manipur's capital, Imphal, where she was force-fed a cocktail of medicines and baby formula.
Ms Sharmila was released in August 2014 after the court rejected the charge that she was "attempting to commit suicide". But she was re-arrested two days later after she refused to end her protest.
Ms Sharmila appeared in the Manipur High Court every two weeks to reaffirm her protest.
Her protest has won her worldwide recognition, with Amnesty International describing her as a prisoner of conscience.
The activist received considerable attention from local and international media outlets in recent years.
Ms Sharmila has the support of women and civil rights groups in the state.
A memorial has been built at the site in Manipur where the 10 civilians were killed by Indian soldiers. The state has a population of about 2.5 million people and a huge force of army, paramilitary and state police are deployed there to fight insurgent groups.
The pair spoke to veterans and their families beside the annual display of more than 100,000 small wooden crosses, each with a poppy and personal message.
They honour service personnel who have lost their life since World War One.
The Last Post was played before a two-minute silence and the duke and his grandson planted their own crosses.
It was the third time Prince Harry, who who served in Afghanistan, has visited the Field of Remembrance. The Duke, who was in the Royal Navy during World War Two, has been attending since 2003.
The prince spoke to nine-year-old Rhiannon Lewis, from Essex, who attended the event with her family to remember her late uncle, Lt Aaron Lewis, who lost his life in Afghanistan in 2008.
He also chatted with Liam Young, a former corporal, who served with the Light Dragoons in Afghanistan. The 29-year-old, who was also deployed to Iraq, planted a cross for six of his comrades killed in Afghanistan in 2009 and another who died later in a civilian accident.
The first Field of Remembrance, planted by The Poppy Factory, was set up in the grounds of Westminster Abbey in November 1928.
There are now further fields in Cardiff; Lydiard Park, near Wootton Bassett; Belfast; Gateshead; Edinburgh, and Inverness.
Employees at McDonald's restaurants in Cambridge and Crayford, near London, voted overwhelmingly for a strike.
The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) said staff wanted secure working hours and a £10 per hour wage.
A spokesman for McDonald's said the fast-food company "works hard to ensure teams are treated fairly".
"We can confirm that, following a ballot process, the BFAWU have indicated that a small number of our employees representing less than 0.01% of our workforce are intending to strike in two of our restaurants.
"As per the terms of the ballot, the dispute is solely related to our internal grievance procedures."
Rebecca Long-Bailey, shadow secretary for business, environment and industrial strategy, said: "The strike at McDonald's is motivated by working people coming together to fight for decent pay and working conditions."
The company announced in April that staff would be offered a choice of flexible or fixed contracts with minimum guaranteed hours.
McDonald's employs around 85,000 staff in the UK and one million worldwide.
The League Two outfit have only three players contracted beyond the end of this term.
Newport are 11-points clear of the League Two relegation zone, though Feeney is their third manager of a a disrupted season that has seen the Exiles use over 40 different players.
"I want to bring my own boys in, I'm not going to lie," Feeney said.
"I know what I need in the summer and what I want but it's about getting over that line first," the manager told BBC Wales Sport.
"There are some that will be [here next year] but, no disrespect, you've got to move on and bring your own players in - that's what you're judged on.
"That's what I want and unfortunately that's football."
The Exiles lost for the fifth game in succession last time out as Cambridge United kept up their late push for the National League play-offs.
Feeney feels the club needs new players to avoid a repeat of a campaign struggling at the foot of League Two.
"At the moment I just want to get these players over the line," he said.
"They've been brilliant for me but you look at these teams that are challenging and they have the mentality to win promotions.
"People will bounce off that and that's what I want to bring to this club.
"A lot of our boys have come from the league below or have had relegations in this league.
"You want to make them better but you look for that little bit of quality to grind games out.
"Players are available in the summer and people are playing for their futures."

His first goal came in the 14th minute when he touched home Joe Rafferty's delivery from close range.
Davies should have had a second within minutes when he met Reuben Noble-Lazarus' centre only to volley over the top with Lee Worgan's goal at his mercy.
But the former Bradford striker had his second of the night in the 22nd minute when Dale were awarded a spot kick, Bobby-Joe Taylor having been penalised for a tug on Joe Bunney's shirt as the left-back raced to the byline.
Davies calmly stroked the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of Worgan's goal with the keeper diving in the opposite direction.
Maidstone enjoyed a brief spell of pressure early in the second half but never really threatened Conrad Logan in the Dale goal.
The home side were denied a third with Worgan pulling off saves to deny Joe Thompson, Noble-Lazarus and Callum Camps.
Rochdale now face a trip to Carlisle in the second round.

Eamonn Dolan, who had been treated for a tumour on his bladder, died on 21 June at the age of 48.
The Eamonn Dolan stand at the Madejski Stadium was opened ahead of the team's first Championship match of the season.
Wording on a plaque on the stand described him as a "true Royal".
A giant image of Mr Dolan, made up of smaller pictures of the 32 young players he helped to graduate to the first team, has also been erected outside the north stand.
The players who came through the Academy system during his 12 years in charge include current Premier League stars Shane Long and Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Former Reading captain Ady Williams said: "Thirty two in 12 years is an amazing stat. Will it ever be done again? I'm not so sure it will."
Reading FC co-chairman Sir John Madejski joined members of the Dolan family to unveil the plaque, dedicating the stand to a "believer" and a "true Royal".
Nicola Sturgeon confirmed the VisitScotland deal, a first for TripAdvisor in Europe, in New York.
Speaking on the final day of her visit to the US, the first minister said it would promote Scottish tourism to 70 million potential new visitors.
The two organisations will work on a joint marketing campaign in the UK.
Ms Sturgeon said: "Our tourism industry has always been strong - spending by North American visitors leapt by almost 28% to £633m in the last year alone.
"However, it's crucial that we ensure Scotland's appeal reaches as wide an audience as possible.
"This collaboration will ensure that millions more people will understand Scotland's appeal, and boost Scotland's tourism industry for years to come.
"The fact TripAdvisor has chosen Scotland as its first European partner shows just how resilient they believe Scotland's economy to be - and the fact we were voted the second-best country in the world to visit by the Rough Guide means site visitors are guaranteed a good holiday."
Charlie Smith, of VisitScotland, said: "TripAdvisor is the biggest tourism website in the world based on tourists' real experiences.
"This partnership will give us the chance to learn from those at the forefront of innovation while inspiring millions of potential new visitors.
"This collaboration will help us put Scotland's regions, cities and unique experiences on the world stage and to grow our tourism industry for future generations."
The £400,000 compartment fire simulator is part of an expanded partnership between the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd.
Similar facilities will be installed in airports in Inverness, Stornoway and Kirkwall over the next two years.
Bosses said the scheme would improve access to training across the country.
SFRS Chief Officer Alasdair Hay welcomed the expansion of the partnership with HIAL.
He said: "Our primary aim is to ensure all employees have the skills and knowledge required to perform their role competently, with the focus of increasing firefighter safety and reducing risk to our local communities.
"Improving the quality, efficiency and infrastructure of training provision and commercial opportunities through this partnership enables us to ensure that effective training is provided to all employees in a consistent, professional standard and quality - irrespective of geographical location."
David Hackett, airport fire service operations manager for HIAL, added: "As one of the largest airport fire groups in the UK, our professional firefighters train for a wide variety of potential scenarios, which are quite distinct from the challenges faced by SFRS firefighters.
"We therefore welcome the opportunity to work with the team at SFRS and share best practice. It will be a valuable learning experience for both partners, and we look forward to expanding this partnership approach at other HIAL airports."
Instead of criticism, the peer earned a polite round of applause.
He hastily added that he paid the equivalent of his tax bill to charity, at the Fabian Society fringe meeting.
During one of the most surreal spectacles of this year's Labour conference, he said he thought the next election was Ed Miliband's to lose.
Lord Ashcroft, who was sharing a platform with senior Labour figures, including John Denham, said he had been impressed by the Labour leader's conference speech, which he had watched from the balcony at the Brighton Centre.
"I enjoyed the speech. I thought he delivered it well. He was self-deprecating and handled humour extremely well. Unfortunately for him, I doubt it will go very far towards convincing a sceptical public about his qualities as a leader."
Lord Ashcroft, a former Tory Party treasurer who has donated millions to the party, has reinvented himself in recent years as a widely respected pollster and internet politics magnate.
He did not have good news for the Labour leader from his latest batch of focus groups, saying his researchers "regularly hear words like 'out of his depth' and 'not as good as his brother'".
"Infuriating though this must be to you all, it shows how hard it is to change perceptions of a leader once they are entrenched," he said.
He said Labour had been lulled into a false sense of security by the mass defection of Lib Dem voters after the last election, but the party had still not done enough to regain voters' trust on the economy.
He also attacked Mr Miliband's announcement of plans to freeze gas and electricity bills, which he called a "form of price control" that was "doomed" to fail.
But despite all of that, he added, he still thought the next election was Labour's to lose.
"For many swing voters, Labour's great virtue is that its heart is in the right place. If Labour is the party that understands people, the Tories are the party who will take tough decisions even if they are unpopular. When Labour could claim a monopoly on both those things, the party was unbeatable."
He said his polling in marginal seats showed a "great swing to the Labour Party", but added that, as polling day approached, "we could see the closest election in 40 years".
The peer, who until 2010 was not domiciled in the UK for tax purposes, ended by speaking about his humble origins and his belief in the creation of wealth.
He said he had recently spoken to senior Labour figures, including former campaigns chief Tom Watson and frontbencher Michael Dugher, about how good it would be for the parties to work together.
"From my own point of view, yes, I am a notorious tax avoider and, I'd like you to know, in the confidence of this room, that I still am and I'm proud of it," he told the meeting, to laughter.
He added: "Every year, just before the end of the tax year, I see what my taxable income is and I give it to charity."
But he could not resist a final battle cry to round off the meeting, telling the Labour faithful: "I remain a proud tax avoider."
She told a BBC TV election special it had been a "terrible mistake" to make "a promise which we could not keep" while in coalition at Westminster.
The Welsh Lib Dems want to replace tuition fee subsidies of up to £5,190 a year with maintenance grants of £2,500.
Ms Williams said the policy was more affordable than the current system.
The Lib Dems' own review of their 2015 general election defeat cited the U-turn on tuition fees as one of the reasons for their collapse from 57 seats in 2010 to eight.
Taking questions from an audience on the BBC's Ask the Leader programme, Ms Williams said: "I can't get away from the terrible mistake my party made in the coalition in Westminster.
"We made a promise which we could not keep, and that let people down.
"It didn't matter that Labour introduced fees, [and] they'd raised them. Plaid Cymru had raised them in the assembly. Our wrong did not make those wrongs right.
"What we can do now is be very clear and upfront about what is affordable.
"I could stand here and I could say that's fine, we can carry on paying these student fee grants for years and years when the reality is I can't make that promise.
"I don't want to make the same mistakes as my colleagues. I do things differently in my party in Wales. I don't want to make those same mistakes.
"That's why in this election we're offering a policy which we believe is affordable and which we believe is deliverable."
Asked if students would be £2,000 a year worse off under the Welsh Lib Dem plan, Ms Williams said: "Not upfront.
"At the moment no student gets that financial support upfront. The support goes to an institution in England."
Welsh Labour has ruled out means testing for university tuition fee grants if the party remains in power after the election in May.
The Welsh Conservatives would replace tuition subsidies with a scheme paying half the rent for students not living at home.
Plaid Cymru would also scrap tuition fee subsidies and instead pay Welsh students working in Wales after graduation £6,000 a year, up to a maximum of £18,000.
UKIP has said it would like to cut tuition fees, while the Greens have called for free university education across the UK.
Their names rhyme, their clothes match - Japanese couple Bon and Pon are putting a smile on the social media world with their perfectly co-ordinated chic outfits and silver hair.
In an Instagram account that screams #lifegoals, the couple, 60 and 61, post demure photos of their everyday life in amazing matching outfits.
Bon and Pon, married for 37 years, created their account just three months ago, but they are already Instagram celebrities - @bonpon511 has an enviable 89,000 followers (and counting).
Not many couples could get away with matching tartan, but Bon and Pon can.
It's not only their devotion to co-ordination that makes them so appealing.
They also have impeccable taste - wearing minimalist colours, tailored cuts and smart shoes.

But why do they co-ordinate their look? "It's fun to wear matching clothes," says Bon.
Bon told the BBC they particularly liked to match outfits on holiday.
Even their children are in on it. Here they are in a gift from their daughter - matching scarves.
Sometimes they wear the same outfit twice - so there is hope for the rest of us.

Shortly after trading began, the benchmark FTSE 100 share index was up 6.66 points at 7,171.09.
Diageo shares rose more than 4% after the company - whose brands include Johnnie Walker Scotch and Smirnoff vodka - reported a 4.4% rise in sales for the half-year to 31 December.
The company said it had been helped by an improved performance from its US spirits business.
Whitbread shares were the biggest fallers on the index, down nearly 6% after the company reported disappointing trading at the London branches of its Premier Inn hotels business.
A key revenue measure for the London hotels fell by 6% in the three months to 1 December.
The results overshadowed better figures from its Costa Coffee chain, where like-for-like sales grew by 4.3%.
On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.15% against the dollar to $1.2652 and was 0.3% higher against the euro at 1.1783 euros.
The 10:30 BST start for the group game was delayed, and with no respite from the weather, play was abandoned without a ball bowled at about 14:15 BST.
Both sides won their opening games, but take a point apiece from this match.
New Zealand - as one of the tournament favourites - will be the more frustrated side after the washout.
Both are next in action on Sunday, with South Africa meeting West Indies in Leicester, while White Ferns captain Suzie Bates has the chance to play her 100th one-day international as New Zealand face rivals Australia at Bristol.
Currently 27 manufacturers have a permit to test autonomous vehicles in California.
However there must always be a human being in the car.
Google's driverless car company Waymo said that in 2016 it drove 636,000 miles in the state and required 124 human interventions.
This was down from 341 in 424,000 miles in 2015.
The new proposals include a framework for how the testing would work and also what would be required by manufacturers to make the vehicles available outside the tests.
"These rules expand our existing autonomous vehicle testing programme to include testing vehicles where no driver is present," said Jean Shiomoto, director of the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
"This is the next step in eventually allowing driverless autonomous vehicles on California roadways."
The department is now inviting written feedback until 24 April.
Bonucci, 30, spent Friday in talks with Milan and will sign a five-year deal subject to passing a medical.

Goss, 21, did not make a senior appearance at United but was named on the bench for a Premier League game against Watford in November 2015.
The Germany-born player joined United from Exeter City in the summer of 2012.
"I feel I am ready to play first-team football," Goss told BBC Sport. "I am buzzing it is all done."
He added: "It was a tough decision because I still had time on my contract but I felt the time was right to get out there and show everyone what I can do. Manchester United wanted to loan me out.
"Hopefully I can settle down in London quickly and start to play."

The Italian, 47, still has two seasons left on the three-year deal he signed when he joined the club last summer.
The Stamford Bridge outfit are keen to reward Conte for an outstanding debut campaign in which he won the Premier League and reached the FA Cup final.
Despite rumours that he was thinking of a return to Italy, Conte said last month that he wanted to stay in London.
Chelsea are still to make a signing this summer.
Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a return to the club he left for £28m in 2014, while Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez and Juventus right-back Dani Alves - who is also a target for Manchester City - have been identified as possible targets.
On 9 June, striker Diego Costa said Conte had sent him a text message to say he no longer wanted the Spain striker at the club.
Stephen McCusker, who worked at the Rachel House Hospice in Kinross, downloaded 1,740 images of children, 40 of which were considered indecent.
The 48-year-old, from Glenrothes in Fife, said he could offer no excuses except "curiosity mixed with wine".
The Nursing and Midwifery Council banned him for 12 months.
Panel chairman Brian Yates said McCusker had a 20-year career without any disciplinary action or complaint.
He also said that the images were at the lower end of the indecent image scale.
The nurse pleaded guilty last year to one count of taking, or permitting to be taken, indecent photos of children over a four-year period.
He was given a three-year supervision order by the court and ordered to complete 250 hours of unpaid work.
The court heard McCusker had been viewing the material for "quite some time" and he had told officers that he would "view it, feel disgusted and then delete it".
McCusker said he was "interested" in young boys and girls but had never sexually abused a child, adding he could offer "no explanation" for his behaviour.
He was not present or represented at the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
He sent a letter which said: 'I was a nurse for 20 years with an exemplary record. I find it difficult to put in words my shame at the damage I have inflicted on the reputation of the Children's Hospice Association Scotland and the NMC."
McCusker resigned from his post at the hospice immediately after his arrest, the Nursing and Midwifery Council was told.
Mr Yates said: "Mr McCusker has brought the profession into disrepute as a consequence of his conviction and in particular by reason of the nature of the offence involved.
"Members of the public would be deeply concerned to learn that a learning disabilities and children's nurse, working in a children's hospice had a conviction for offences relating to possession of indecent images of children."
Hereford-born Morris, 22, only signed a two-year deal in May but his existing contract is now extended by a year.
"You could see his potential. Now he's started to believe it himself," Walsall boss Jon Whitney told BBC Sport.
"Some players get discarded too quickly and Kieron could easily have been one. But this club gives players like him more time and he's worked hard for it."
Whitney added: "He's one of my main players now, he's on the teamsheet."
"This club is amazing for bringing youngsters through," said Morris. "You only have to look at some of the names who have passed through the door in the last five, 10, 15 years. It's a place where you will get your chance and it's up to you then to take it."
Morris has taken his chance this season following the summer departure of many of the first-team regulars that took Walsall to the League One play-offs.
After scoring in successive matches against Charlton, Bury and Grimsby Town in August, he also netted in Saturday's 3-2 win over Shrewsbury.
It was part of an unbeaten four-game run which has seen Walsall pick up seven points out of a possible nine in League One, climbing to within four points of the play-off zone, as well as reaching the next round of the EFL Trophy.
"We're starting to click now as a team," he said. "It's one defeat in eight for us so we have to keep this run going and try to get up the table."
North Wales Police will train people, who will then be sent to problem areas with hand-held speed guns.
Details of speeders will be sent to police. Offenders will get two warning letters and on the third speeding occasion police will take action.
Sgt John Roberts said: "Our aim is to spread the message that our community simply won't stand for speeding motorists."
Menzies said Iain Napier had informed the company that he wished to retire.
Mr Napier, who joined the board eight years ago, will step down after the group's annual general meeting on Friday.
He is the third high-ranking figure this year to leave the Edinburgh-based print distribution and aviation services company.
In January, former chief executive Jeremy Stafford resigned after just 15 months in the post, citing "personal reasons".
And last month, chief financial officer Paula Bell gave notice of her intention to resign in July, in order to join the board of Spirent Communications.
In a statement on Wednesday, the company said Mr Napier's wish to retire was "in line with the reduction of his other plc responsibilities".
Current non-executive group director Dermot Jenkinson will become interim chairman, following Mr Napier's departure.
He will run the process of appointing a permanent successor.
Mr Jenkinson said: "The board would like to thank Iain for his considerable contribution to the John Menzies business and board over the last eight years.
"He has marshalled us through significant periods of change over his tenure with great skill and experience. We wish him the very best for the future."
In March, John Menzies reported that contractual problems at London Gatwick Airport last year cost the company £6m in lost earnings.
In its annual results statement, the firm said profits were hit by increased labour costs incurred in maintaining ground handling service levels.
Overall pre-tax profit for the year was down by about 30%, at £18.2m.
The group's turnover for the year was flat at just under £2bn.
Mr Balls said Mr Corbyn's approach was "devoid of connection to the reality of people's lives".
The remarks are made in his autobiography, Speaking Out, which also includes candid reflections on Labour's general election defeat last year.
Mr Corbyn's campaign team said there was "nothing utopian" about working for "ordinary, hard-working people".
In his memoir, serialised in the Times, Mr Balls reflects on a political career that took him from the commanding heights of government to crushing defeat at the general election.
He lost his seat of Morley and Outwood to Conservative Andrea Jenkyns in the 2015 vote.
On his relationship with former leader Ed Miliband, he writes: "Having kept me at a distance in the run-up to the election in 2015, I think we probably only spoke twice in the whole four-week election campaign.
"That was astonishingly dysfunctional when I compare it to how Tony [Blair] and Gordon [Brown] worked."
He also opens up on Ed Miliband's 2014 conference speech, after which the then Labour leader was widely criticised for forgetting to mention immigration or the deficit.
"The omissions were a symbol of Labour not being willing to face up to the problems the country was worried about and proof that we were trying to brush difficult issues under the carpet.
"We weren't ready — and didn't deserve — to return to government. It was incredibly frustrating," he said.
His criticism of Mr Miliband's successor is stronger still.
He writes: "Refusing to listen to the electorate has never been a winning formula, any more than Jeremy Corbyn thinking the volume of the cheering from your core supporters is a reliable guide to wider public opinion.
"Caution will not win the day; but nor will Jeremy Corbyn's leftist utopian fantasy, devoid of connection to the reality of people's lives."
Mr Balls's reflections come as MPs prepare to return to Westminster - and he prepares to appear on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing.
The Jeremy Corbyn for PM campaign tweeted that it was "sad to see" Ed Balls's comments, saying "All members of Labour should be striving for the policies that Jeremy has laid out."
"There's nothing utopian about wanting this country to work in the interests of ordinary, hard-working people. There's nothing fantastical about believing in a system where people are treated as equal."
It was "a bit rich for a man who lost the support of the country at large - and even the voters in his own seat - to lecture on being 'in touch'," it added.
"It's worrying that a former shadow chancellor of the exchequer should feel that rail nationalisation, energy democracy and clamping down on tax avoidance is a leftist utopian fantasy."

I had just been sacked as player-manager by Chelsea and, along with Ronald, Frank Rijkaard and Marco van Basten, I went on a special fast-track course that the Dutch FA had put on for former top international players that allowed us to get our badges in only a year.
Koeman, who had retired in 1997, had always wanted to become a manager when he was a player and you could tell then he wanted to make the most of this opportunity.
We were all enthusiastic but even his note-taking was extremely systematic - it still makes me laugh that he wrote everything down very carefully using lots of different coloured pens.
That course was 18 years ago but Koeman is still a very pragmatic guy who loves to have a structure in place, which is part of the reason he has made a successful start at Everton after his impressive two-year spell at Southampton.
One of his sayings is "how you train is how you play", which has been his mantra since we played together for PSV Eindhoven and the Dutch national team in the 1980s.
I was always used to that approach too. It was rule number one under the best coaches I played for and the idea is that during the week you mimic the conditions you will play under on Saturday, so you get used to them.
I am sure Everton players have found out already what is expected of them - Koeman will not let them switch off during training games or think they can only give 70% effort. It has to be 100%.
He has increased the intensity of their sessions but there is more to his approach as a manager than just hard work and discipline.
Technically and tactically he is very strong too, and part of that is linked to how he was as a player.
Koeman was a brilliant defender but he was not very quick. If you are the slowest player on the pitch then you always have to be thinking what will happen next.
He needed to anticipate things all the time, but he did it so well he never made any slide tackles because he never had to, he always saw things coming. In fact, he saw slide tackles as a last resort.
So I know he always understood the game very, very well. He was always in the right place so he never got in any trouble.
That made him a very intelligent player and it is also why he is such an intelligent coach - he thinks ahead.
One example of that is when he took charge at Everton in the summer, he knew how they had conceded too many goals from set-pieces last season, so he has been trying to improve that, and it has worked.
He is quiet, considered and thoughtful and his whole personality is like that - even away from football too - although he is not afraid of raising his voice when he has to with his players.
Those communication and man-management skills were obvious when we were players. I was captain of the Dutch team that won the 1988 European Championship, but we had a couple of players who took responsibility for their area of the team and he was one of them.
Koeman was captain of our defence and leadership was one of his strengths.
In that era, we had a lot of strong personalities right through the Dutch team. People now say that we were always fighting but that is not true.
We could argue at times, though, because ultimately we always wanted to win and, if somebody did not do their job at the back then I needed Ronald to tell him that.

Sometimes I watch Premier League games here and when people make mistakes they say nothing to each other - they just let it go and it is like happy families. I don't understand it.
If you want to win, you have to wake people up and I have seen Koeman do it already at Everton. With his treatment of Ross Barkley in the past few weeks, he has been trying to sting him a little.
That is also our way - the Dutch way - a little bit. He has high standards and he has been saying to Barkley that if you don't want to listen to me, then you have to learn the hard way.
By leaving him out, or taking him off, then Koeman is thinking that maybe he will learn.
He is trying to show Barkley that this is how you will end up if you don't do what is necessary for me, but for sure he will also have told the player that he is only doing it because he wants him to become better.
Koeman has done it to get a reaction and he got one against West Ham on Sunday, when Barkley scored his first league goal since the opening day of the season.

It was not a great game, or a great performance by Everton but they took their chances against the Hammers and got the win.
They also got a clean sheet, and Tottenham are the only top-flight side to have conceded fewer goals in their first 10 games. That is something else Koeman will have worked on, although you would not say Everton are a defensive-minded team.
In terms of his style of play, I think he is very versatile. He played for so many great teams and had exposure to many different styles, with the ultimate being Johan Cruyff's Barcelona.
But of course he cannot play like Barca did when he is with Everton, and he understands that you have to adapt your style to the players you have got.
As a coach you learn that, although you have a philosophy, that doesn't mean you have a set tactical philosophy. That can be something totally different each week.
You also have to adapt to the league you are in. Koeman has experience across Europe but he also knows the Premier League now after his two seasons with Southampton.
He knows how to get results in England but he also knows to stay calm when they do not come. Before Sunday, Everton had suffered a little drop in form after their good start to the season but he believes in his players so there was no need for him to panic.
Koeman finished seventh and sixth in his two seasons at Southampton and it is going to be hard for him to improve on that with Everton, especially when you consider the other teams above them.
It will be a fantastic achievement if they do manage it and under Koeman I know they will fight hard, so they have a chance.
Ruud Gullit was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
The defendant was arrested after a woman out shopping saw a man crouch down and aim what she believed was a smartphone under her skirt.
Previously, a judge said the defendant could not be made to reveal the code, citing constitutional protections.
That decision has now been reversed by the Florida Court of Appeal's Second District.
Store CCTV captured footage of a man crouched down, holding an illuminated device and moving it towards the victim's skirt, according to court documents published by news site Courthouse News.
Aaron Stahl was identified by law enforcement officers who reviewed the footage, according to court documents.
After his arrest, Mr Stahl initially agreed to allow officers to search his iPhone 5, which he told them was at his home.
However, once it had been retrieved by police - but before he had revealed his passcode - he withdrew consent to the search.
The trial court had decided that Mr Stahl could be protected by the Fifth Amendment, which is designed to prevent self-incrimination.
However, Judge Anthony Black's formal opinion to the court quashed the decision.
Judge Black referred to a famous Supreme Court case, Doe v US 1988, in which Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that a defendant could be made to surrender a key to a strongbox containing incriminating documents but they could not "be compelled to reveal the combination to his wall safe".
"We question whether identifying the key which will open the strongbox - such that the key is surrendered - is, in fact, distinct from telling an officer the combination," wrote Judge Black.
"More importantly, we question the continuing viability of any distinction as technology advances."
However, the decision was criticised by senior staff attorney, Mark Rumold, at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group.
"I think they got it wrong," he told the BBC
"This is not the first time this issue has come up in the courts and I think other courts have done a better job of evaluating the Fifth Amendment and the constitutional rights that are at stake."
Mr Rumold said there were "sound constitutional reasons" to prevent the state compelling information from a defendant's mind.
He added that there were a number of cases across the US in different courts tackling the issues around unlocking phones.
"It's something the Supreme Court will need to weigh in on eventually," he said. | Tony Blair has said he is winding up most of his commercial ventures to focus on not-for-profit work.

Ex-Manchester City manager Mancini, 51, claims Sarri used homophobic language towards him during a touchline row when their teams met in the Coppa Italia.
However, the suspension was not for homophobia, for which the punishment could have been greater.
Sarri, 57, has also been fined 20,000 euros (£15,000).
Napoli were beaten 2-0 in Tuesday's quarter-final, so Sarri will not serve his ban until next season.
Mancini, in his second spell at Inter, was also fined 5,000 euros (£4,000) after he was sent off towards the end of the match.
Warning - the section below contains language some readers may find offensive
Mancini said Sarri shouted "poof" and made another homophobic slur in an altercation following Inter's second goal.
Sarri claimed not to remember his exact words, but acknowledged he had been "fired up and angry".
He added: "I was not discriminating against anyone. If I did indeed use those words, then I apologise to the gay community."
Italian snowboarder Arianna Cau said Sarri's ban is too short.
"I am not a judge, so I can't really say what the punishment should be, but it should be more serious," Cau told BBC World Service.
"People understand that in Italy we have a problem. If we don't have a serious punishment, then we will never fight this war.

Last year, 16,900 motorists in England and Wales were issued with £100 fixed-penalty notices after being caught, down from 29,700 in 2014.
The RAC said the figures indicated "attitudes are clearly relaxing as a result of drivers no longer fearing punishment".
The government said it is shortly to announce tougher penalties.
Over the past five years the number of penalties issued has fallen by 86%, according to police data for England and Wales.
The road safety charity Brake said the number of fines does not reflect the "rapidly growing problem" of mobile usage by drivers.
Mike Bristow, spokesman for Brake, said: "Instead, these figures are evidence of the alarming drop in traffic cops on our roads.
"We urge the government to make roads policing a national policing priority to prevent illegal, risk-taking behaviour behind the wheel."
The RAC said that while the numbers had "fallen off a cliff", the figures laid bare the lack of policing.
The breakdown organisation's road safety spokesman, Pete Williams, said: "The simple truth is the problem of illegal handheld phone use at the wheel is undeniably getting worse, with fewer and fewer people being caught."
Recent research from the RAC found the number of drivers who think it is acceptable to make a quick call doubled from 7% in 2014 to 14% in 2016.
Mr Williams said mobile phone usage at the wheel was an "epidemic that has been allowed to sweep across the country largely unchallenged".
"Attitudes are clearly relaxing as a result of drivers no longer fearing punishment," he added.
According to the Department of Transport, 22 people were killed in the UK last year by motorists using their phones whilst driving, and 684 people were injured.
In September, the government set out plans for new rules to come in next year, under which drivers will get six points on their licence and face a £200 fine for using their mobiles at the wheel.
While the enforcement of road traffic offences is a police matter, a government spokesperson said: "We are clear that the illegal use of handheld devices while driving is totally unacceptable.
"We take this extremely seriously and will be shortly announcing tougher penalties for using mobile phones at the wheel."
The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) lead for roads policing, chief constable Suzette Davenport, said in recent years police forces have adopted new tactics, such as sending offenders on courses, rather than issuing fines, to learn about the impact and consequences of driving while distracted.
She said: "While we are committed to policing these offences, we must also acknowledge that we cannot simply enforce away peoples' behaviour.
"We need to address not only the offences themselves but the attitudes which sit behind them."
According to the NPCC, studies have shown that 68% of drivers who attend driver alertness courses stated that their driving habits had changed a great deal or quite a lot as a result. | The number of fines issued for using mobile phones while driving fell by 43% last year, official figures show. | 37,798,193 | 666 | 24 | false |
Terry Miller's body was found in the property in Whitburn's West Main Street on Tuesday.
Bertie Hall, 49, appeared at Livingston Sheriff Court on Thursday charged with Mr Miller's murder.
In a statement issued through Police Scotland, Mr Miller's family said he would be "greatly missed."
They said: "We would like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts at this difficult time but would now ask for privacy to come to terms with our loss."
Speaking at a news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, Mr Modi described the agreement as part of "our duty to protect Mother Earth".
Several global leaders have criticised President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the US from the Paris accord.
Mr Trump said the deal would impoverish the US and cost American jobs.
The Paris agreement commits the US and 194 other countries to keeping rising global temperatures "well below" 2C above pre-industrial levels and "endeavour to limit" them even more, to 1.5C.
China and the European Union have restated their commitment to the agreement, while Mr Macron called Mr Trump's decision a "mistake both for the US and for our planet".
Speaking after a meeting with Mr Macron, Mr Modi said France and India had "worked shoulder to shoulder" on the Paris accord.
"The Paris agreement is the common heritage of the world. It is a gift that this generation can give," Mr Modi said.
India is the world's fourth-biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, after China, the US and the EU.
Explaining his decision to withdraw from the deal, Mr Trump said it would cost the US $3tn (£2.3tn) in lost GDP while rival economies like China and India were treated more favourably.
However, several US governors and mayors have vowed to respect the terms of the Paris deal despite the US pulling out.
Climate change, or global warming, refers to the damaging effect of gases, or emissions, released from industry, transportation, agriculture and other areas into the atmosphere.
The Paris accord is meant to limit the global rise in temperature attributed to emissions. Only Syria and Nicaragua did not sign up.
Countries agreed to:
Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies says the world's average temperature has risen by about 0.8C since 1880, two-thirds of that since 1975.
US think tank Climate Interactive predicts that if all nations fully achieve their Paris pledges, the average global surface temperature rise by 2100 will be 3.3C, or 3.6C without the US.
This week the Lib Dem peers put down a series of amendments to the Psychoactive Substances Bill which would effectively shelve it until there had been a thorough independent review of the whole spectrum of drug laws.
Among other things, this would mark the first vote on anything in the House of Lords in this Parliament.
I would be very surprised if they succeeded, because Labour doesn't disagree too hard with the government's bill - but the Lib Dems (for whom the House of Lords is now a Masada-style last redoubt) won't mind going down to glorious defeat if it makes the point that they are the party in favour of sweeping reform of the drug laws.
Elsewhere, it's a pretty humdrum week - with much detailed consideration of heavy technical legislation. But listen carefully when we reach Thursday's Commons debate on internet surveillance powers, for the soft thud of markers going down for future legislation.
Here's my rundown of the week ahead:
Monday
The Commons day opens (2.30pm) with work and pensions questions - watch out for the second coming of former welfare reform minister Frank Field as chair of the select committee. That may be followed by urgent questions or statements.
The day's main legislating is the second reading of the Education and Adoption Bill, which would speed up intervention with failing schools in England. An inadequate judgement by Ofsted would usually lead to a school being converted into an academy. And schools which are considered to be "coasting" could also be turned into academies. The bill would also allow the introduction of regional adoption agencies.
And the day ends with an adjournment debate on stone theft led by the Conservative, Jason McCartney. The MP's Huddersfield constituency has seen an increase in stone thefts with churches being specifically targeted.
The Lords meet at 2.30pm, when questions to ministers will include one on the effect of EU withdrawal on investment in UK science and technology - question time seems to be evolving into a bit of a rehearsal for the EU Referendum, with guerrillas on both sides of the argument seeking to make their points.
The main law-making is the first committee stage day on the Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill, where the key issues revolve around whether devolution across all England should be agreed on a case-by-case, city-by-city basis, or whether there should be a uniform settlement. And there will also be some focus on the bill's emphasis on elected metro mayors for major conurbations.
So far the Lords have added 49 amendments to the bill, many largely technical. Coming up are amendments restricting the pay of the new mayors, extending the voting franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds and requiring the creation of new elected assemblies to accompany the devolution of further powers.
And watch out for a cross-party amendment calling for the government to produce a report setting out how devolution opportunities can be made available to rural and coastal regions
The dinner break business is a short debate on the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, led by the former Scottish Secretary, Lord Forsyth of Drumlean.
Tuesday
In the Commons (11.30am) business opens with Justice questions - and again there's a new select committee chair who may intervene, this time the Conservative ex minister, Bob Neill.
MPs will then be asked to motor through detailed consideration of the European Union (Finance) Bill - the committee, report stage and third reading, in a single gulp. The bill implements changes to the rules on Britain's contribution to the EU budget including reductions agreed in 2013.
Labour has tabled three amendments that seek to increase scrutiny of how EU funds are spent including summoning European Commission budget representatives to appear before Bill Cash's European Scrutiny Committee. And they're also proposing new clauses requiring ministers to seek a European Commission study of whether alternative approaches to funding EU activities would off better value for money, and requiring the government to seek a Council of Ministers review of budget priorities, waste and inefficiency, to be completed by the end of 2015.
That is followed by a motion to alter the mandate of the committee considering the detail of the High Speed Rail (London to West Midlands) Bill... this is, in theory, a pretty routine event allowing the committee to examine agreed detailed changes to the route. But it's rare for any Commons proceedings on HS2 to go off without incident...
In Westminster Hall, Peterborough MP Stewart Jackson leads a debate (9.30am - 11am) on government policy on support for pupils with English as an additional language - 63% of primary school pupils in his constituency have English as an additional language.
At (11am - 11.30am) David Morris, who was a member of the now defunct Political and Constitutional Reform Committee, has a debate on reforming the House of Lords and the number of peers - that committee suggested removing of persistent non-attendees in the Lords.
In the Lords (2.30pm) questions to ministers include one from the Conservative peer, Lord Farmer, on palliative care in light of Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman's report Dying without Dignity. With a private member's bill on Assisted Dying due for debate in the Commons in September, this may amount to a preliminary skirmish....
Then peers turn to their first day of detailed committee stage debate on the Psychoactive Substances Bill - key issues will include the new criminal offences of distribution and production of 'legal highs', as well as civil sanctions and regulation/licensing.
But watch out, in particular, for a series of amendments to things like the Commencement Clause from Lib Dem peers - they may look innocuous, but their combined effect would be to stop the bill taking coming into force until there had been an independent review of drugs legislation. And, unusually for committee stage proceedings, there seems to be a firm intention to force them to a vote. Cue much chuntering about abuse of process.
Watch out, too for the amendment from Lord Paddick and Lady Hamwee seeking to downgrade cannabis and cannabis resin schedule 2 in the Misuse of Drugs Regulations - which would soften the legal implications for those caught in possession of the drug.
The Labour peer Lord Howarth of Newport's amendments seeks to improve public knowledge of psychoactive substances including setting up a publically available website explaining how users can recognise them, their strength and their uses/ harms. He also calls for a network of testing centres where users can learn about the toxicity of substances they believe to be psychoactive. Schools would also be required to teach children about psychoactive substances.
He has also added an amendment requiring the secretary of state to produce a report on stop and search powers which would include stats on the ethnicity and "socio-economic" characteristics of those stopped. The issue of controlled drugs may well also come up.
Dinner break business is a short on the Welsh Assembly elections and the recent and planned changes to the Welsh devolution settlement.
Wednesday
In the Commons (from 11.30am) the day opens with Northern Ireland questions, followed, at noon by prime minister's question time. And the remainder of the day will be devoted to opposition day debates.
In Westminster Hall, Labour MP Paul Blomfield leads a debate on science and research in the UK and regional economies (9.30am - 11am) and from 11am, Jim Fitzpatrick has a debate on leaseholders and housing association ballots - he has campaigned for residents to be able to hire and fire failing housing associations.
Former Daily Telegraph Technology Editor Matt Warman has a debate on superfast broadband roll-out (2.30pm - 4pm) and the SNP's Alison Thewliss will discuss World Breastfeeding Week (4.30pm - 5.30pm). This year's theme will be a campaign for women to be able to adequately combine work and child rearing, particularly breastfeeding.
In the Lords (from 3pm) questions to ministers include Viscount Ridley's on the cost (£/tCO2e) of greenhouse gas emissions abatement from wind offshore, wind onshore and solar - and then peers turn to the second committee stage day on the Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill, where the focus will be on the transfer of functions and powers from central to local government; and on health and social care transfers in particular.
There will also be a short debate on the political situation in Syria led by the Lib Dem, Baroness Falkner of Margravine,
Thursday
The Commons meets at 9.30am for energy and climate change questions, (again there will be the debut of a new select committee chair, the SNP's Angus MacNeil), which will be followed by the weekly Business Statement from the Leader of the House Chris Grayling, setting out the agenda for the coming week.
That will be followed by a general debate on Reports into Investigatory Powers, a taking of the voices on what became one of the touchiest issues of the last Parliament: the level of surveillance of internet activity needed to protect the public from terrorists.
It follows the publication of the Anderson Report recommending judges should oversee communications interception - which would be a huge break from previous practice. The recommendation has heavyweight support on the Conservative side, from backbench mastermind David Davis and his allies.
The adjournment debate is on the National Gallery industrial dispute - Labour's John McDonnell raises the increasingly bitter standoff between management and staff over the Gallery's proposal to outsource security and visitor services and the sacking of a trade union rep.
In the Lords (from 11am) the day's debates are on Opposition Day motions from Labour: firstly led by the former minister Lord Wills on the constitutional changes proposed in the Queen's speech; and secondly led by Lord Whitty on affordable housing.
In between the two debates, there will be another Labour-led debate: a one-hour topical short debate from Glenys Thornton on the Care Quality Commission's report 'Right here, right now' and the steps being taken to provide young people with adequate help, care and support during a mental health crisis.
Final business is another short debate on the requirement for all leaseholders to agree if they wish to become holders in common.
Mr Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence are expected to travel to Indiana on Thursday to reveal the agreement with company officials.
The president-elect confirmed the meeting on Twitter, describing it as a "Great deal for workers!"
Mr Trump has vowed to keep companies like Carrier from moving jobs overseas.
The details of the agreement were not immediately clear, but the Carrier Twitter account said that the company was "pleased to have reached a deal" with Mr Trump and Mr Pence to keep jobs in Indianapolis.
The company said in February it planned to shut its Indianapolis plant, which employed 1,400 people, and move manufacturing to Mexico.
Mr Trump vowed to focus on keeping manufacturing jobs from moving abroad throughout his campaign, appealing to working-class voters in states like Michigan and Indiana.
Steven Mnuchin, Mr Trump's new treasury secretary, declined to discuss details about the agreement.
But he told CNBC's Squawk Box that Mr Trump was "going to have open communications with business leaders".
He added that the president-elect had called the chief executive of Carrier's parent company and said it was "important to keep jobs here".
Carrier's parent company, United Technologies, also said in February it would move a factory that employed 700 people in Huntington, Indiana, about 100 miles (160km) northeast of Indianapolis.
Mr Trump has repeatedly railed against Carrier and other companies which planned to move jobs abroad to lower-wage countries like Mexico.
The president-elect also criticised Ford after the company said it planned to invest $2.5bn (£2bn) in engine and transmission plants in Mexico and vowed to give up Oreos when Nabisco's parent company, Mondelez International, said it would replace production lines in Chicago with ones south of the border.
He blamed the large-scale exodus on free trade, and has threatened to impose a 35% tariff on American companies that import goods from Mexico.
Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999, which represents Carrier employees, said after the announcement: "I'm optimistic, but I don't know what the situation is. I guess it's a good sign. ...You would think they would keep us in the loop. But we know nothing."
After his appearance in Indiana on Thursday, Mr Trump will make a series of stops later this week as a part of a "thank you" tour for voters who supported him, according to his aides.
But the EastEnders battleaxe is making a comeback and she's not alone.
Cindy Beale and Kathy Mitchell are also returning to the Square for a Children in Need special to be shown later this month.
They'll all be paying Ian Beale a ghostly visit after he is knocked unconscious by the door of a washing machine in the launderette.
The haunting trio will be joined by Ian's daughter Lucy, whose killer has not yet been found.
Adam Woodyatt, who plays Ian Beale said: "I don't want to spoil it but Ian is really happy to see some faces and completely knocked for six by others, but then again I think finding your late ex-wife in your kitchen is enough to shock anyone."
Gillian Taylforth, who was killed off-screen in 2006, said she's glad to be back.
"It was surreal being back but it was fantastic to have the chance to play Kathy again. Once I was back in the cafe with my apron on and stirring the beans it was like I had never left."
So with four women from Ian's past paying him a visit from the grave, does Woodyatt ever wondered if his character could be the next for the chop? Apparently not.
"Besides, Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell) and I reckon that if a nuclear bomb went off in Walford, we'd be the ones walking out of the dust cloud saying: 'Did you hear a bang?"'

In a speech replete with references to empowering the youth of the nation, and the need for change, the emir enacted a transition that will see him leave the stage he has dominated for nearly two decades alongside his Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, who is expected to be stepping down imminently.
In recent weeks, discreet communications were passed to various diplomats and leading businessmen to inform them that change was in the works, and although it was unclear exactly when the process would happen, the widely rumoured "before Ramadan" timeline proved to be true.
Now that the handover is officially complete, and once two days of meeting and greeting Qatar's well-to-do are over, the 33-year-old emir will need to turn his attention to a growing number of challenges.
And though it would not be fair to describe Sheikh Tamim as a novice in world affairs, he has yet to face complex issues without the support of his father, and the efforts of Khalid al-Atiyya, Qatar's energetic minister of state for foreign affairs. And of course the dominating presence of the PM and Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim.
It is widely believed that HBJ, as he is known, will step down as part of the cabinet reshuffle in which a number of new appointees are expected.
His departure will leave an unfillable gap. Hamad bin Jassim is one of the very best diplomats the region has to offer, hard-working, shrewd and full of charisma. He possesses all the tools needed to cajole and persuade.
His are big shoes to fill, and the skill of diplomacy is something that is as much innate to a person's character as it is to experience. Sheikh Tamim has certainly learnt the ropes quickly and may well grow to be a great emir, but with Hamad bin Jassim's departure, Qatar's clout on the foreign stage will undoubtedly suffer, and this at a time when the country is facing increasing criticism.
The region, once friendly and open to Qatar's influence, now views the emirate's intentions with suspicion, fear and even hatred. In the Gulf, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have grown distrustful of Qatar and its alliances and foreign policy initiatives. The UAE in particular has been angered by Qatar's growing relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood and has worked to try to blunt Qatari influence at every turn.
Some in Qatar have expressed hope that Sheikh Tamim will work to reset relations with neighbouring Gulf states, and bring Qatar closer into the fold of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) in the coming years.
In Libya, Tunisia and Egypt, the public mood has turned against Qatar, despite or perhaps because of the billions that Qatar has pumped into those North African countries. In responding to the Arab Spring, Qatar helped enable revolutions that saw three dictators fall, but its continued support for Islamists has angered many.
In Tahrir Square, Egyptians burnt Qatari flags and a leading comedian, Bassam Youssef, has taken several pokes at the Qataris for their involvement in Egyptian political and financial affairs.
Al-Jazeera, Qatar's once shining jewel, has also suffered, losing an estimated five million viewers. It is being criticised for appearing biased and lacking in editorial rigour, in effect becoming an extension of the Qatari government rather than an independent news organisation.
But it is in Syria that the Qataris face their greatest challenge. Where once they were confident that the regime of Bashar al-Assad would crumble in the face of international pressure and arms transfers to rebel forces, the war now looks to be moving in Mr Assad's favour.
Should his forces prevail, the consequences for Qatar, following two years of active support for the opposition and $3bn (£2bn) spent on weapons and humanitarian aid, are potentially devastating. Qatar's position and influence in the region would be irreparably damaged should the rebels it has backed so openly be defeated.
At the same time, Qatar's relationships with the West remain a mixture of engagement and confusion. Qatar needs Western military support, and intelligence co-operation, particularly with regard to the Syrian crisis. But distrust clouds Western interpretations of Qatar's intentions, and its relationships with hardline Islamists in Libya and Syria as well as the country's links with Hamas are troubling Washington and its allies.
Few doubt the ruling family will remain close to Western powers, particularly as it seeks to maintain deterrence vis-a-vis Iran, but Qatar will never be the fully compliant ally the West may wish it to be. And the West will never be entirely at ease with Qatar's Islamist links.
Though there is talk of Sheikh Tamim's conservatism and his fondness for the Muslim Brotherhood, there is no actual evidence for either charge other than the rumour and gossip so often associated with Gulf politics. And regardless of the prince's personal beliefs, it is likely that very little would change under his leadership.
Profile: Sheikh Tamim
That is because Qatar's main initiatives and policy tracks are more or less set in stone. The 2030 Vision, which outlines the development goals for the country, is already chaired by Sheikh Tamim (with significant input from his mother Sheikha Mozah and his father, the emir) and has a clear modernising social agenda.
Likewise, the football World Cup in 2022 will require social and legal reforms in the country, most notably around workers' rights and the construction of stadiums and new cities for its large expatriate population to live in. Qatar has invested billions of dollars already in realising these visions, and Sheikh Tamim could not turn his back on these gargantuan projects even if he wanted to.
Nevertheless Qataris are a traditional people, and the emir will have to balance his subjects' need for maintaining the traditions of his people with modernising the rapidly growing country.
It is interesting that Sheikh Hamad made explicit mention of his confidence in the younger generation's "loyalty to your Arab and Islamic heritage". It is a delicate balancing act and one Sheikh Tamim must manage with sensitivity if he is to succeed in ensuring the country develops successfully.
However, lost in a story which has consumed the elite in Doha is an issue that will not go away. It concerns the push for constitutional reform and the first ever elections to Qatar's advisory council. The council is an appointed body and its term ends on 30 June 2013, but just before the abdication announcement by the emir, the council's term was extended.
Much criticism has been directed at Qatar calling for change in regions of the Arab world, but not practising what it preaches at home. Granted Qataris - there are just 250,000 - live privileged lifestyles, and the call for democracy comes from a tiny number of activists, but regional states still chafe at this particular inconsistency.
Time will tell if Sheikh Tamim decides to push forward with pluralistic change, but it would greatly assist the young emir in maintaining Qatar's regional aspirations and it would enhance his reputation with Arab youth calling for reform if this process was started in earnest.
Certainly, declaring elections early on in his reign would cement his legacy as an emir committed to the long-term prosperity of his nation.
Sheikh Tamim will be a man who stays close to his father's legacy; after all, Sheikh Hamad would not have felt secure enough to hand over his crown to a man who was not of his ilk.
Inculcated from a young age with the values of hard work, and of keeping an open mind, Sheikh Tamim is unlikely to fall far from the tree. Nevertheless how the new emir deals with an unstable region and a country undergoing significant social change will be fascinating to watch, as will the extent of his commitment to democratic reform.

Yahya Jammeh is accused of withdrawing the money via a state telecoms company.
A court has ordered all his remaining assets in The Gambia to be frozen.
Mr Jammeh flew into Equatorial Guinea after 22 years in power. He lost an election in December and only agreed to step down after regional powers sent in troops threatening to force him out.
Luxury cars and other items were reportedly loaded on to a Chadian cargo plane as Mr Jammeh left the country.
The amount was initially suggested to be more than $11m (£8.8m) by Interior Minister Mai Ahmad Fatty then an aide to new President Adam Barrow.
But on Monday, Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou said that Mr Jammeh had withdrawn $50m between 2006 and 2016.
He accused Mr Jammeh of directing the "unlawful withdrawals" from accounts held at The Gambia's central bank, linked to state-owned Gamtel either "personally or under his instructions".
Mr Tambadou said a court order had frozen or temporarily held 88 accounts and 14 companies linked in some way to Mr Jammeh - amounting to all the politician's "known assets" remaining in The Gambia, as the country's new administration sought to prevent him "liquidating or dissipating" anything further.
It has also been reported livestock, cars and properties have been seized. Three of his cousins have been arrested after selling his cattle.
Mr Tambadou said the discoveries were "just a tip of the iceberg".
Mr Jammeh has been out of contact since he left The Gambia and has not responded to the allegations.
The showcase also features a tense police drama written by ex-policeman Adam McNamara and conversations about a record collection.
Made in Scotland is funded through the Scottish government's Edinburgh Festivals Expo Fund.
It is in its 9th year and has funded 180 shows with almost £5m so far.
Its aim is to develop Scottish talent and support companies, ensembles and artists to move on towards international tours.
This year's Fringe, which takes place in August, marks its 70th anniversary.
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said Made in Scotland had established itself as an "integral part" of the Fringe in the past decade, showcasing "excellent, bold and innovative work from Scotland".
She said: "This year's showcase features a rich variety of stimulating stories and talented artists."
The programme includes:
It is the true story of a young trans man crossing borders, from Egypt to Scotland, and genders, to find a place to call home. It features a 120-strong, international world choir of trans individuals.
The audience experiences what it is like for four police officers waiting in a riot van about to enter a flat where a man is wielding a samurai sword. The piece is written by former police officer Adam McNamara.
In 1972, Idi Amin ordered the expulsion of Ugandan-Asians under a 90-day deadline. In Dundee, a woman grows up knowing nothing about her homeland, haunted by Amin's impact on her destiny.
It started when MJ McCarthy and his great aunt Kathleen - 55 years his senior - connected over a stack of vinyl. Since then the Turntable team have toured her record case around Scotland, inviting listeners of all ages to investigate its contents whilst reflecting on the importance of music in their lives.
A hacking group called Lizard Squad say they are responsible for disrupting the service over Christmas.
The Xbox Live status page suggested on Saturday that Microsoft services had been restored.
PlayStation tweeted earlier today to say some services were being restored and thanked users for their patience.
The online services came under a DDoS, or a distributed denial of service attack, a technique which floods targets with high traffic - rendering them unusable.
Hackers using the name Lizard Squad have attacked the gaming companies before.
So who are they and what could be next?
A hacker claiming to be from Lizard Squad - a 22-year-old calling himself Member Two - said the group had hacked the sites "because we can".
He also suggested the motive was to demonstrate weaknesses in the Microsoft and Sony systems.
"It's just such a huge company Microsoft... Do you not think they should be able to prevent such an attack?" he told BBC Radio Five Live.
"Is Christmas really about children playing with their new consoles, or playing with their new toys, or is it about them spending time with their families and celebrating Christmas?" he added. "I think everyone's just taking it all out of the ordinary."
The name Lizard Squad is generally used as a signature on a site that the group has taken responsibility for hacking.
A previous attack on gaming and media streaming site Machinima, Inc. names Criminal, Jordie, Pain and Plague as the hackers.
The majority of Lizard Squad's online activity, outside hacking, comes via their Twitter account.
Many posts taunt recent targets or promise upcoming hacks.
The Christmas gaming take-down is is the latest in a string of hacks Lizard Squad claims to be behind.
Recent high-profile targets which the group has taken responsibility for taking offline include EA games, Destiny, Xbox Live at the beginning of December.
A series of Twitter posts from Lizard Squad, shared a few weeks ago, included threats that said they intended to target Xbox Live over the festive period.
"Microsoft will receive a wonderful Christmas present from us," they wrote.
Sony's PlayStation Network was also hacked in August.
The attacks coincided with a bomb scare involving a flight carrying a Sony executive.
An American Airlines jet was diverted after a threat was made online.
Although Lizard Squad are making headlines at the moment, other hacking groups have targeted high-profile sites.
Earlier this month a different branch of Sony - Sony Pictures Entertainment - was hit by a cyber attack that stole huge amounts of data from its servers.
The fallout from that hack soon focussed on The Interview, a film featuring a fictional plot to assassinate North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un.
In April last year, four British hackers who were behind a series of high-profile cyber-attacks in 2011 were given jail sentences.
Ryan Cleary, Jake Davis, Mustafa al-Bassam and Ryan Ackroyd were part of the Lulzsec hacking group, which targeted sites including Sony Pictures, News International, the CIA and the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency.
The following month, Australian police said they had arrested the 24-year-old "self-proclaimed leader" of the hacking group.

Curran weighed in with 62, coming in at number eight, backed up by first-innings half-centurion Rory Burns (49), Steven Davies (42) and nightwatchman Stuart Meaker (41), to help total 390.
That left the Bears with a daunting chase of 396 - and they began badly.
Ian Westwood went third ball to Tom Curran as the hosts closed on 2-1.
After resuming on 33-1, Surrey's lead was up to 117 by lunchtime after Meaker had batted throughout the first session for an unbeaten 29, his highest score in two years.
Former Sri Lanka left-hander Sangakkara, back from helping the Tallawahs win the Caribbean Premier League, then made the smooth transition from T20 to four-day cricket with a stylish half century, as he played first-class cricket for the first time in two months.
Sangakkara, who played for Warwickshire in 2007, shared a third-wicket stand of 60 with Meaker, who eventually batted almost three hours for his 41, before he was caught behind pushing forward to off-spinner Jeetan Patel.
Wicketkeeper Davies then passed 1,000 first-class runs for the season for a sixth time in making 42 before three sixes and five fours came in a 56-ball cameo from the younger of the two Curran brothers.
The return of Chris Wright (4-75) got rid of Davies at deep mid-wicket, and both Curran brothers caught behind by Tim Ambrose.
But, when Mark Footitt holed out to long on to leave Warwickshire with an uncomfortable two overs to face, Westwood quickly departed, lbw.
Adam Armstrong put the Tykes ahead as Conor Hourihane's free-kick was nodded down by Marley Watkins and fired in.
Scott Hogan had a fine chance to level as he got in behind the visitors' defence, but Adam Davies was quick off his line to deny the Brentford forward his ninth goal of the season.
The win was sealed when Ryan Kent hit the post and Sam Winnall pounced.
Late on, Davies again had to make a fantastic save as Josh Clarke rushed through on goal, as the Tykes' keeper forced him wide and then got down low to block.
Earlier, Watkins whipped a dangerous cross into the Bees' box, but Winnall could only head straight at home keeper Daniel Bentley.
The Bees suffered their fifth loss of the season and are winless in their last four, only picking up two points during this period.
Barnsley's sixth win of the season ends a run of three defeats for the visitors, and is their first victory since beating Wolves 4-0 at Molineux on 13 September.
Brentford manager Dean Smith:
"We controlled the first half without creating too many chances. There were half-chances for both sides but we gave them a hand.
"Our decision-making was poor on the ball. We had three or four opportunities to play Scott Hogan in but we took an extra touch which slowed play down for us.
"When you are two goals up you can afford to take a few chances and you will look sharper, but if we'd taken our chances it might have been a different story.
"There is an expectancy for us to beat Barnsley and people fancy us to beat them, but every game is different and there are no easy ones."
Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom:
"I'm really pleased. It's what we've been after for a few games now, where we've performed well and not got our rewards.
"There were fewer errors and the decision-making was much better. It's been easy to see what the problem has been because the eight goals we've conceded have been down to us and things we did wrong.

Frank Moussa fired in from the edge of the box to put the visitors in front, before Southend's Adam Barrett turned a cross from Lowe into his own net.
The Shrimpers regained the lead when David Mooney's effort went in off the post, but Lowe side-footed in to level.
Southend twice hit the woodwork and were punished when Lowe converted from the spot after Sam McQueen's handball.
Victory saw the Shakers end the season 14th, one point and one place above their opponents.
Veteran striker Lowe, 37, is set to rejoin Crewe, who have been relegated to League Two.

Bury manager David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester:
"Seeing Ryan Lowe step up in the 92nd minute to score is fitting on a day like this. The guy's an absolute true professional. I think he can keep going until he's 40, 41, 42.
"You never know how the season is going to pan out. You come to the end of it and see teams like Blackpool and Doncaster fighting for their lives. Some of these teams are Championship teams with a Championship set-up.
"Four more wins and a couple of draws and we get into the playoffs. We can possibly achieve that next season. We've consolidated and made staying in this league look easy."

Charter NI, an east Belfast community organisation, received £1.7m from Stormont's Social Investment Fund.
Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin claimed some in Charter NI had "connections" to the UDA.
George Hamilton stood by the claim after meeting the first minister.
Stephen Farry said that he had never heard a chief constable "come out and so clearly say there is an active paramilitary or paramilitaries involved in a community sector organisation in receipt of government funds and for a government not to follow through on that".
Last week, ACC Martin told The Nolan Show that these individuals had taken part in paramilitary activity "in the past year".
The executive said after Monday's meeting that the PSNI has assured that there are "no concerns" over the work of Charter NI.
However, Mr Hamilton said ACC Martin's comments were "an accurate assessment of the PSNI's position".
"At an operational and community level Charter NI do some very meaningful and positive work.
"However, it remains our view that an individual or individuals connected to that organisation continue to be associated with paramilitarism."
SDLP MLA Nicola Mallon said that the two statements were puzzling and that "you could be forgiven for thinking that you were reading about two very different meetings".
"The meeting was an opportunity for the chief constable of the PSNI to give a security briefing about individuals who are active paramilitaries connected to Charter NI but the statement from the Executive Office made absolutely no reference or mention to that issue at all."
On Monday, the first minister said her position was that if the police have "evidence against any individuals then they should be arrested by the police, investigated, charged and brought before the courts".
The board of Charter NI said ACC Martin's comments had "come as a surprise" and they added: "We do not condone illegal or criminal activity of any kind".
The community organisation has been under scrutiny since October, when its chief executive Dee Stitt gave a controversial interview to the Guardian newspaper.
Mr Stitt, a leading member of the UDA, referred to his loyalist band the North Down Defenders as "our homeland security" who were "here to defend North Down from anybody".
He also launched a foul-mouthed verbal attack on the government, saying politicians did not care about Northern Ireland.
Mr Stitt later apologised for his comments and took a three-week break from his role while Charter NI completed an "internal review process", but he resumed his job in November.
Michael's family moved to Bushey in Hertfordshire when he was a teenager.
He revealed that he performed in front of 400-500 people at the building during his pre-Wham! days, though the exact date is unknown.
Local scout chairman, Michael Duffy, described the hut as a "music history landmark" and hopes a commemorative plaque can be installed.
He said: "Interestingly, the stage is still pretty much as it was when George performed on it and we want to keep it just as it is.
"The building is 60 years old and we've already invested £15,000 to make sure it lasts another 60 years.
"We need a further £5,000 to do more work on its grounds."
Mr Duffy is also the owner of The Three Crowns pub in Bushey where the four members of Wham! met and formed the group in 1981.
George Michael and Andrew Ridgley met at Bushey Meads School and discovered a mutual interest in music.
The pair - with backing singers, Pepsi and Shirlie - had a string of hits, which won them thousands of fans.
Michael went on to have a total of seven UK number one singles as a solo artist - including A Different Corner and Jesus to a Child - and the same number of chart-topping albums.
Michael died of natural causes at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on Christmas Day, aged 53. His funeral took place on Wednesday.
The coroner's verdict on his death only came three weeks ago. Tests were ordered because an initial post-mortem examination was "inconclusive".
Darren Salter, senior coroner for Oxfordshire, said the star had heart and liver disease.
Striker Marcus Rashford has earned a place in the England squad after scoring in his international debut against Australia last week. The 18-year-old player has had a quick rise, having made his first appearance in the Premiere League for Manchester United only 3 months ago.
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is also named, despite missing both of England's warm-up games. And while Leicester City's hero Jamie Vardy makes the squad, his team-mate Danny Drinkwater misses out.

Both England and Wales have one last friendly before they head to France for the championships. England play Portugal and Wales face Sweden this week in their final warm-up games.
On 16 June the two sides will face each other as they battle to get through the group stages of the tournament.
After an inspired performance from Vale goalkeeper Jak Alnwick kept the game goalless at half-time, strikes from Poleon and Tom Elliot, early in the second half set Wimbledon on their way.
And late goals from Tyrone Barnett and Chris Robertson earned a first league win since thrashing Bury 5-1 in November
Vale's defensive concerns remain and they have now won just once in 10 matches.
The home side dominated for much of the first half but Alnwick made four exceptional saves to keep it goalless.
In the 53rd minute the home side broke the deadlock when Sean Kelly made an excellent run down the flank and crossed for Poleon to bundle in from close range.
Elliot headed home from a corner in the 58th minute to make it 2-0.
Soon afterwards Wimbledon keeper James Shea turned Nathan Smith's effort onto the crossbar, before Barnett and Robertson netted in the final five minutes.

Report supplied by the Press Association
The UK is full of people who follow lots of different faiths and religions.
Most of the time they all get along and people are free to live the way they want to.
However, some groups are targeted because of their beliefs, and because of events that people blame them for - even if this is incorrect.
Islamophobia is when Muslims are the victims of attacks just because of their religion.
It is something that worries a lot of people.
Islam is a religion, and the people who follow it are called Muslims.
Almost a quarter of the world's population are Muslims and in the UK it's about 1 in 20 people.
Islam is the second largest religion in the UK after Christianity.
Islam is over 1,400 years old, dating back to the 7th Century.
The Islamic word for God is Allah.
The word "Islam" means submission to God's will and obedience to God's law.
It comes from an old Arabic word meaning "peace."
Some people have blamed all Muslims for recent terrorist attacks carried out by extreme groups who say they follow the religion of Islam.
But, many people say those terrorist groups have extreme beliefs of hatred and violence that have little to do with what most Muslims believe.
They say it is important not to blame a big group of people for what a small number of individuals have done.
Islamophobia can result in Muslims being targeted, whether in person or online.
They can be badly treated, insulted or even physically hurt.
Many people think Islamophobia is created when a person doesn't properly understand what Muslims do or believe, and that the best way to combat it is to have a better understanding of Muslims and Islam.
The opener's 162-run fourth-wicket partnership with nightwatchman Graham Onions helped the hosts recover from 78-3 to 240-4, when the latter fell lbw to Ravi Patel for a career-best 65.
Jennings' century came off 203 balls and included 12 boundaries.
Durham declared on 385-8, as Notts closed on 17-1, needing 300 more runs on the final day to secure victory.
Onions reached his maiden half-century just as Jennings passed three figures for the sixth time in the Championship this season - a Durham record he now shares with Michael Di Venuto and Paul Collingwood.
After Patel removed Onions, Luke Fletcher dismissed Collingwood and Michael Richardson cheaply before Imran Tahir bowled Stuart Poynter.
However, Jennings remained untroubled passing 150 off 284 balls and was ably assisted by Barry McCarthy (28 not out), which allowed Durham to declare when bad light briefly interrupted play shortly before the close.
Relegation-threatened Notts lost Jake Libby in the final over of the day, bowled by Onions.
The visitors began the match bottom of Division One and 35 points adrift of seventh-placed Durham, who have played one game fewer.
Slovenia was the first former Yugoslav republic to join the European Union, in May 2004 - shortly after joining Nato.
Unlike Croatia or Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia's independence from Yugoslavia was almost bloodless. The country also found the transition from a state economy to the free market easier than most.
Long regarded as one of the best-performing new EU members, Slovenia was dragged into a deep recession by the European financial crisis in 2012.
Slovenia's relations with Croatia have been strained on account of a rumbling dispute over sea and land borders dating back to the break-up of Yugoslavia.
Population 2 million
Area 20,273 sq km (7,827 sq miles)

President: Borut Pahor
The prime minister of a centre-left government between 2008-12, Borut Pahor was elected president in December 2012, beating incumbent Danilo Turk by a thumping margin of 34% of the vote.
However, the low turnout - only one in three eligible voters made it to the polls - was seen as a sign of widespread disenchantment with Slovenia's political class.
The election took place against a background of popular discontent at the centre-right government's austerity measures, with many Slovenes taking to the streets to call for the resignation of the political elite.
The role of president is largely ceremonial, but carries authority in defence and foreign affairs.
Prime minister: Miro Cerar
Miro Cerar was appointed prime minister in August 2014, after month-long coalition negotiations in the aftermath of parliamentary elections.
Originally a lawyer and an academic, he acted as a legal advisor to parliament and expressed opinions on various constitutional matters for years.
His SMC party won 34.5% of the vote and secured 36 seats in parliament as the leading faction even though it was established only a month before the elections.
Mr Cerar faced the tough task of putting the eurozone country's finances back in order after the past two governments fell after little more than a year after being hit by corruption trials and political infighting.
Slovenia's media scene is diverse and free.
The main papers are privately-owned.
The broadcasting sector is a mix of public and private ownership. Many households are connected to cable, satellite, or internet protocol TV (IPTV). There is an advanced digital terrestrial TV (DTT) network.
By the end of 2015 almost 73% of the population was online.
Some key dates in Slovenia's history:
1918 - After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Slovenia joins the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The kingdom later becomes known as Yugoslavia.
1941 - Slovenia is occupied by Nazi Germany and Italy during the Second World War.
1945 - At the end of the war, Slovenia becomes a constituent republic of socialist Yugoslavia.
1991 - Slovenia, along with Croatia, declares its independence. The Yugoslav federal army intervenes. Slovene forces defend the country. About 100 people killed. The EU brokers a ceasefire. The Yugoslav army withdraws.
2004 - Slovenia joins the EU.
2013 - Ratings agency Moody's cuts Slovenia's credit rating to junk status. Economy recovers over subsequent years.
The flanker failed a second assessment after suffering a head knock in Wednesday's 45-10 victory over Japan.
His place is taken by Ryan Wilson.
"He's a bit of a terminator once he gets going," Strokosch told BBC Scotland. "He hasn't trained, so we've been preparing with Wilson at seven, so it's not really changed us too much."
Wilson is promoted from the bench - as is hooker Ross Ford, who comes into the side for Fraser Brown, who will provide cover for the back row.
This is 32-year-old Strokosch's second World Cup and the back-row, who plays his club rugby in France for Perpignan, says his experience, allied with other senior players, will provide a good balance for the side.
"There's a strong leadership group throughout this squad," he said. "Henry (Pyrgos) will lead well at scrum-half, myself in the back-row and 'Fordy' (Ross Ford) is in at hooker now.
"There's a lot of experience and it should work well with the young boys with enthusiasm."
While the USA have had a week to prepare for Sunday's match, this will be the second game in four days for the Scots and Strokosch says part of the recovery plan has seen a clamping down on coffee.
"We're limited to three cups of coffee a day and all before 3pm," he revealed. "It's to allow us to have a full eight to 12-hour sleep at night time.
"There's a few coffee monsters in the team, but they're managing to rule it out for a few days."
The PSNI said they included teenagers and people in their early 20s.
Ch Supt Chris Noble said although post-mortem examinations had been carried out, police were waiting for the results of toxicology tests to determine the cause of death.
Three people are believed to have died since Boxing Day.
Ch Supt Noble said: "Our advice is very simple.
"Do not take illegal drugs; do not take prescription medication that has not been prescribed for you and do not mix either with alcohol.
"The consequences of ignoring this advice can be life-threatening."
Police said possible links to drug or substance abuse were "strong lines of enquiry" in some of the deaths.
"The consumption and mixing of illegal drugs can be a lottery of death as it is often unclear what the substance is, its strength or the harm it can do to your body," he added.
The statue of a Gurkha soldier will be erected on the site in Folkestone Garden of Remembrance in Sandgate Road later this year.
The Nepalese community in the town has raised more than £60,000 since 2009.
"It was a really long campaign and the people of Folkestone are really excited to have this unique Gurkha memorial statue," said organiser Dhan Gurung.
It is expected that the statue, by sculptor Rebecca Hawkins, will be unveiled in early October as one of the final acts of public commemoration of 200 years of Gurkha service to the UK.
The Royal Gurkha Rifles are based at Sir John Moore Barracks at Shorncliffe in Folkestone and many retired soldiers as well as friends and family have settled in the area.
"This is the right time to have this unveiling," said Mr Gurung.
"We are marking 200 years of sharing together between the British community and the Gurkha community."
But even if the ceasefire holds and the peace talks bear fruit, there is a long, long way to go before the chaos there can be sorted out.
Libya is a deeply disturbing country at present.
It has all the signs of a failed state.
Under Colonel Gaddafi, Libya was a scared, unnaturally poor country whose huge oil wealth had been squandered by its leaders.
But at least it was peaceful. As a Westerner, you were perfectly safe there.
"The ghost of Muammar Gaddafi will always haunt us." In the lobby of a five-star hotel in Tripoli, a Libyan friend of mine who had worked closely with Gaddafi spoke the words softly to me.
Within a matter of weeks Gaddafi was dead.
Now, said people like my friend, we can build a decent country again.
That was more than three years ago.
On the face of it, Gaddafi has already been forgotten.
The bullet-splattered images of his absurdly smiling face on concrete display-boards at major crossroads throughout the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahuriyah have disappeared.
The SPLAJ is history.
Gaddafi was ludicrous, utterly corrupt and personally degenerate; though Tony Blair, for Britain, and Nicolas Sarkozy, for France, were among those who were prepared to ignore all this and cosy up to him for the sake of Libya's oil wealth.
But Gaddafi had ruled the country in his addled way for more than 40 years, and had deeply affected the life of every single Libyan throughout that time.
You don't just kill a dictator like that, destroy his portraits, and put him behind you.
At first, after the overthrow of Gaddafi, there was political upheaval and some violence.
The hostility of provincial areas like Zintan, Misurata and Benghazi towards Tripoli was worrying, but it seemed reasonable to hope that things would settle down.
In July 2012, elections were held. They weren't altogether smooth, but there was a clear result: the moderate National Forces Alliance won almost half the seats. A government was formed.
But the armed groups which had fought the Gaddafi loyalists in the civil war hadn't gone away.
Their roadblocks made driving round Libya hazardous, and when they clashed there was trouble. Extremism was on the rise.
On 11 September 2012 - the date was significant - Christopher Stevens, the American ambassador to Libya was murdered, together with three others, at the US mission in Benghazi.
Although the Islamic extremist group, Ansar al-Sharia, avoided claiming sole responsibility, vehicles with Ansar's logo on them were spotted at the mission during the attack.
Last June, American special forces captured a leading figure in Ansar, Ahmad Abu Khattala (who had denied being involved), and took him to the US for trial.
In the wake of the attack on the US mission, big demonstrations in Benghazi demanded an end to the actions of the militias, and Ansar's headquarters were stormed and ransacked.
But it didn't stop Ansar in the long run.
Last July, it took complete control of Benghazi, and has a strong presence in the eastern town of Derna.
Libya is not only violent and deeply divided, therefore; it has become another front line in the battle between extreme Islamism and the rest of the world.
This certainly wasn't the outcome Nato expected when Britain and France started bombing Gaddafi's forces in 2011.
So were they wrong to get involved?
The French and British air forces intervened to protect the largely unarmed insurgents of Benghazi from the advance of Gaddafi's tanks.
If the tanks had re-conquered Benghazi, Gaddafi might still be in power, and Libya would be a quieter place.
But Gaddafi's rule, which lasted 42 years, was certain to collapse at some point.
In that way it was similar to Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
The choice wasn't between the continuation of a quiet, safe, if unpleasant regime and the chaos that exists today; it was a question of when the system fell, and whether the aftermath could be controlled.
Depressingly, Libya may still have plenty of violence to go through before it can become peaceful again: assuming it doesn't break up into three or four mutually hostile parts.
In Iraq, you often hear people say they wish Saddam was still in power.
That instinct is rarer in Libya, but it certainly exists.
It is Gaddafi's revenge on the people who overthrew him.
Correction 19:44 20 January 2015:
This piece has been amended to correct a number of errors about flights and transport links to Libya, and remove an incorrect reference to foreigners requiring the assistance of armed groups to travel around the country.
It also incorrectly stated that Ansar al-Sharia formally gave its allegiance to IS. | The family of a 30-year-old man whose body was discovered in a house in West Lothian have paid tribute to a "much-loved son, brother, father and uncle."

Hart, on loan at Torino in Serie A after becoming surplus to requirements at Manchester City, saved interim manager Gareth Southgate from an embarrassing loss to the team ranked 67th in the world with a succession of outstanding saves.
He twice denied Josip Ilicic when he was played in by poor backpasses from Eric Dier and captain Jordan Henderson - but the highlight was a world-class reflex save when he turned Jasmin Kurtic's header on to the crossbar seconds after half-time.
Kurtic also hit the post in the first half as England's three-year run of wins in qualifiers came to an end.
They deserved no more as Slovenia were the more dangerous side and even the introduction of Wayne Rooney, dropped by Southgate, for the last 18 minutes could not rouse a disappointing England, who at least still top Group F.
Rooney had a shot just wide and Jesse Lingard forced a fine save from Jan Oblak late on - but an England win would have been harsh on the hosts.
Southgate's bold decision to drop captain Rooney and the measured manner in which he handled the pre-match inquisition on his move drew many plaudits.
Once the action started in Slovenia, Southgate was at the centre of England and international football's real world as they struggled to match the pace, verve and energy of the home side.
Southgate has four games to make his case to be Sam Allardyce's full-time successor and after a colourless win against Malta at Wembley, this was a tough night as England struggled desperately for large phases of the game.
He can at least say he has kept England unbeaten and on course in what should ultimately be a comfortable 2018 World Cup qualification from Group F - but there has been nothing impressive yet.
To put Southgate's very brief tenure in context, England's opening win in Slovakia came courtesy of a 95th-minute winner from Adam Lallana at the end of a largely wretched performance under Allardyce after the failures of Euro 2016.
Southgate is working with a squad in transition and recovery after the European Championship - but he will be hoping for much better in his remaining two matches, a qualifier against hapless Scotland at Wembley on 11 November and the subsequent friendly against Spain.
Hart has suffered the most traumatic period of his career after two high-profile errors against Wales and Iceland in England's Euro 2016 debacle and being bundled through the exit at Manchester City by new manager Pep Guardiola.
It was redemption time for Hart, revitalised on loan in Italy, as the 29-year-old produced a magnificent performance to spare England's embarrassment in Ljubljana.
Hart - who was the clear man of the match in this game - looked back to his best, rescuing Dier and Henderson when dreadful backpasses let in Ilicic.
The best moment came seconds after the restart when he produced arguably one of the finest saves of his career to claw Kurtic's header on to the bar before reacting in an instant to clear the ball to safety. It was a world-class moment.
For a player whose cast-iron confidence - and indeed his credibility - had been questioned after his struggles in France this summer, this was compelling evidence that he can still be a high-class keeper.
He was also seen going among his nervous, unsettled colleagues offering encouragement deep into the second half. Is this the night the real Joe Hart returned to England?
England's current standing was put into perspective by a Slovenia side that are alongside Burkina Faso in Fifa's world rankings - and yet for long periods they had Southgate's side on the run.
The errors by Dier and Henderson would have been punished by opposition of a higher calibre and England threatened to crumble in the early moments of the second half - only to be saved by Hart.
Winger Theo Walcott produced his second disappointing England display in succession and was substituted, while striker Daniel Sturridge suffered a similar fate after an off-colour performance.
Defender John Stones was a rare composed figure and forward Marcus Rashford at least showed a spark when he came off the bench.
There were few positive points as a run of 14 straight qualifying wins came to an end with a largely colourless and uninspired England effort.
England manager Gareth Southgate: "The overall objective is to qualify so long term that could be an important point. Everyone can see we could be better but their chances came from our mistakes or set-pieces.
"We owe our goalkeeper really for getting a point. He was fantastic."
England goalkeeper Joe Hart: "They had chances, we dominated the game. They have dug in and Jan Oblak had a fantastic game for them.
"It's my best game for a while, but it was down to a few errors from us. My body is in pieces, I'll struggle to get up tomorrow. I landed on the frame of the goal."
Former England defender Danny Mills on BBC Radio 5 live: "England were outplayed, outmuscled, outthought for most of this game. They should consider themselves very lucky.
"Any positives? 0-0, and it's a clean sheet away from home. Joe Hart's performance was exceptional, he played like a sweeper keeper for one of the saves. Hart was tortured after the Euros, he had a tough time at Manchester City but came back. Don't write top players off too quickly.
"The amount of pressure Slovenia put England under panicked them.
"You need to stop and calm yourself down and play it. The midfield need to slow it down when they get it. The manager said we need to play quickly but senior players need to go against the manager's instructions and kill the tempo of the game."
The 2018 World Cup qualifiers resume next month and England come up against old foes Scotland at Wembley on Friday 11 November (kick-off 19:45 BST).

Lisa Keefe, of the Meadows in Nottingham, did not realise her Bengal crossbreed Bobby had climbed inside the appliance for a nap.
She raced to get him out after hearing "a loud thudding noise" from inside the appliance.
A vet at the clinic who treated him said: "In my 15 years as a vet, I've never seen a case like this."
Nine-month-old Bobby was taken to Nottingham Pet Hospital on the verge of collapse and needed IV fluids to treat shock.
His brush with death has seen him nominated for a PDSA (People's Dispensary for Sick Animals) Pet Survivor award.
Ms Keefe, 47, said Bobby was known to climb in the machine and she had put him outside before putting in a new load.
But she said the curious puss must have snuck back in and hidden under a duvet before she switched on the appliance.
"As soon as I heard the noise I rushed to the machine and could see the colour of his fur mixed in with the quilt. I was petrified and raced to get him out," she said.
The kitten was in the washer "for about two minutes", vet James Kellow said.
"Bobby has learned his lesson the hard way, he doesn't go anywhere near the washer any more", his owner added.
Vet Tamsin Thomas said: "Bobby was on the verge of collapse as his body was soaked through and his temperature was dangerously low.
"We gently dried him out, kept him warm and gave him IV fluids to treat shock."
Mr Kellow, who treated Bobby, said the kitten had sore eyes from the detergent, but within a couple of hours was "as right as rain".

The Monmouthshire-based club finished third in Division One last season.
Blake, 45, who earned 29 caps for Wales and scored four international goals, retired from playing in 2006.
The Englishman, ranked 83rd in the world, tied for second at his home club Woburn to qualify alongside Toby Tree and winner Shiv Kapur.
"Going back to Birkdale after what happened in 2008 is special," said 41-year-old Poulter.
The Open will take place from 20-23 July.
Ryder Cup veteran Poulter was in danger of losing his PGA Tour card this year because he failed to earn the required points or prize money in the 10 events covered by his medical exemption following a foot injury.
However, a rule change allowed him to retain it for the remainder of the season.
Five events were held across the UK to fill the final 15 places at the Open.
At Gailes Links in Ayrshire, 21-year-old Scottish amateur Connor Syme on four under par shared top spot with American Julian Suri, with Australia's Ryan McCarthy taking the last place after a four-man play-off.
England's Matthew Southgate booked his ticket for the third time in four years thanks to a second straight victory at Royal Cinque Ports in Kent. Rounds of 71 and 65 saw Southgate finish three shots clear of Robert Dinwiddie, with Canada's Austin Connelly claiming the final place after a four-man play-off.
Haydn McCullen, 20, carded a course record of 64 to lead an English one-two-three at Hillside in Southport ahead of Nicholas McCarthy and Adam Hodkinson.
There were three more English qualifiers at Notts Hollinwell after Mark Foster and Joe Dean tied for first on 10 under par and Laurie Canter emerged from a three-man play-off on seven under.
Aides to Leishemba Sanajaoba say the decision was taken without his consent.
They say it is in violation of a 2006 agreement between the once powerful royal family and the state government.
The authorities say they want to take over the palace and surrounding land to develop it as a heritage site.
King Sanajaoba began his fast on Monday, two days after the Manipur cabinet decided to take over the Sana Konung palace in the state capital, Imphal.
"The king feels betrayed because the government is violating a 2006 memorandum between the two that clearly said no decision would be taken about the palace without his consent," said his adviser Puyam Tomcha.
State officials say they want to renovate the palace and turn it into a tourist attraction.
"The government will arrange for alternative accommodation for King Sanajaoba," a spokesman said.
"We are taking over the palace to turn it around and preserve royal artefacts in it so that the future generations will know about the glorious past of Manipur."
Another big palace in Imphal - the Kangla palace - is being turned into a museum.
The government argues that much of the land around Sana Konung palace has lost its traditional character because it was sold by former King Okendra and used for the construction of high-rise buildings.
"This is why we have appealed to the residents to let the government take over the land around the palace so that we can relive the olden times," the official said.
The Manipur royal family occupied the Kangla palace after the 1891 Anglo-Manipur War and built the Sana Konung for the royals to live in.
Later, it became a military headquarters, housing the paramilitary Assam Rifles after the state joined the Indian federation.
However, the royals, who now have little real power or influence, continue to live in Sana Konung.
In the neighbouring state of Tripura, the royal family has been living in a part of the Ujjyanta palace in the state capital, Agartala, ever since the government acquired most of the building to house the state legislative assembly.
Both Tripura and Manipur became parts of India on 15 October 1949.
But while Tripura's royals have been influential in state politics and are financially much better off, their counterparts in Manipur have struggled to make ends meet.
In recent years they have often been forced to sell land to meet their expenses.
While friends, family and attendants have joined King Sanajaoba's protest over the move, many others in Manipur say the government should have taken the royal family into its confidence before announcing the renovation project.
Manipur has been in the news for another highly publicised hunger strike. For 13 years, Irom Sharmila has refused to eat in protest at the special powers which she, like many Manipuris, feel have been grossly abused by Indian security forces during counter-insurgency operations in the state. She is force-fed through her nose.
Although King Sanajaoba's fast may not continue for that long, it has created ripples in the state where many feel his forefathers were forced to join India.
The Lincolnshire rider rode the machine at last week's Cookstown 100.
"Guy was happy with the bike at Cookstown and it is now fully prepared for him for next week," said Craig.
"It will be great to see him out in my colours once again and I want to thank Mervyn Whyte for giving us the opportunity to race," he added.
Martin last rode for the County Londonderry businessman in 2010.
The 35-year-old has competed at the Tandragee, Scarborough road races and Cookstown events in recent weeks, but the North West will see him make his first appearance at an international event on his return to the sport after an absence of almost two years.
The television personality came off heavily at the 2015 Ulster Grand Prix and opted out of road racing last year to take part in the Tour Divide cycle race in the USA.
He will also race Superbike and Superstock versions of the new 2017 Fireblade with the Honda Racing squad.
Meanwhile Michael Rutter will replace Hudson Kennaugh on Ryan Farquhar's IEG/KMR Kawasaki in the Supertwins races at next week's event.
Kennaugh had been set to ride the ER6 Kawasaki in the two Twins races at Portrush alongside outings on Farquhar's Superstock and Superbike.
The South African withdrew his North West entry this week and veteran Rutter has been recruited to ride alongside Lee Johnston on another NI Air Ambulance liveried KMR Kawasaki for the Dungannon-based team.
"Hudson rang me and said he wasn't racing at the North West," Farquhar explained.
"So we have sorted a deal for Michael Rutter to ride the bike. Michael was on the podium on one of my bikes at the 2012 North West and he rode for me at last year's TT as well."
"I have put a big effort into the bikes for this year."
The pursuit began in the Bear Road area of Brighton at about 22:00 GMT after a Vauxhall Astra failed to stop for officers, Sussex Police said.
It drove towards the city centre before hitting the pedestrian on St James's Street. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
The car was later found abandoned on Madeira Drive near Concorde 2 nightclub.
The force is trying to trace the driver and has appealed for witnesses.
St James's Street remains closed while officers investigate, it added.
The 420,000 sq ft interchange, next to Cardiff Central railway station, will also have private apartments as well as offices and shops.
Cardiff's bus station will be part of a Central Square redevelopment which will include BBC Wales' new headquarters.
"The gateway to our city is being transformed," said council leader Phil Bale.
The planning application was submitted after a 28-day public consultation period and the developers hope to know the outcome by the end of February 2017 after a 16-week scrutiny period by city planners.
Central Square developers Rightacres Property claim the Interchange will have an "airport-lounge" style concourse and a 600-bicycle hub.
Three young people from Brighton were killed fighting in Syria in 2014.
Ch Supt Nev Kemp said the measure was "extreme" and told the Brighton Argus it has sometimes been "very difficult".
However, the mother of one of the teenagers who died in Syria said removing his passport would not have stopped him going.
In April 2014, 18-year-old Abdullah Deghayes from Saltdean was killed in Syria and in October 2014 his brother Jaffar Deghayes, 17, also died in fighting.
Ibrahim Kamara, 19, from Brighton, is believed to have been killed in a US airstrike in September 2014.
His mother, Khadijah Kamara, said preventing extremism should start in primary school and doubted removing passports would work.
She said: "It's two-years exactly this month since my son died - I have not had an answer as to how he would've travelled with a passport that wasn't his.
"He travelled with two other boys... how come they were able to leave just like that, as easy as that?"
Ch Supt Kemp, from Sussex Police, said: "It is an extreme measure and it's one we've all felt a bit uncomfortable with.
"But it's balancing that against the need to protect people and to protect the individual."
He added: "There is a risk those people - if they do come back - come back even more radicalised, and that's a risk for anybody who potentially comes in contact with them."
Bishop Thomas served as the Provincial Assistant Bishop for 12 years, providing care for those opposed to Church in Wales women priests.
He stepped-down in 2008 when the post ceased.
The Bishop of Swansea and Brecon John Davies paid tribute to his colleague's "long and distinguished ministry".
"At heart David was, I believe, a parish priest with great love and care for the people committed to his care and oversight," said Bishop Davies.
The retired priest had only just returned from a holiday to mark his 50th wedding anniversary to his wife Rosemary.
He had celebrated the 20th anniversary of his ordination as a bishop in December at a service in St Mary's Priory Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
Canon Mark Soady, Area Dean of Abergavenny, said: "He shall be sorely missed by the people of Abergavenny who had a great fondness for him.
"Our prayers are with Rosemary and the family at this time."
The 2009 world champion is substituting at McLaren for Fernando Alonso, who is racing in the Indianapolis 500.
Button said: "I am very relaxed. Very excited, actually. It is interesting coming back for one grand prix.
"It being Monaco is very special. I have won here. I lived here for 17 years. It is exciting but I don't feel any pressure."
McLaren have not scored any points this year and are last in the constructors' championship. Monaco represents their best chance of points so far.
Alonso put the car seventh on the grid in Barcelona two weeks ago, and the car should be even better suited to Monaco, where the lack of power from the Honda engine is less important in the overall performance of the car than at any other track this year.
"Everything in life is the same," Briton Button said. "You want to get the best out of yourself and the equipment and team you're working with.
"The car seemed to be working well in Barcelona. Fernando did a good job. It proves the car is good. I drove the car in the simulator, I drove the upgrade and if it all goes well we should be reasonably competitive."

The cars have changed significantly since Button retired from F1 at the end of last season, with rule changes making them faster and more demanding - and also 20cm wider.
Button's first experience of the McLaren on a race track will be in first practice at Monaco on Thursday. He turned down the chance to test in Bahrain in April because he felt it would not have been productive.
"I thought would be absolutely useless for me to do, completely different circuit," he said.
"Preparation could have been better if I had had the opportunity to test the car at a proper test but that's not the way F1 works.
"Fitness won't be an issue. My neck will be a bit sore after Thursday but we have Friday off and Mikey 'Muscles' (Collier), my physio, is back for one weekend. It's a challenge and that's what we're all here for, isn't it?
"I have every bit of information possible and I have run through it for several days - how the car works, the way the tyres work.
"The tyres have been pretty tricky the last few years, they work differently but you work your way around it. A few things will be tricky but it is about putting the effort in and working around the issues.
"The only thing I am worried about is my neck, but apart from that it should be all right."
The scheme offered free access to a limited number of websites.
However, it was opposed by supporters of net neutrality, who argued data providers should not favour some online services over others.
The free content included selected local news and weather forecasts, the BBC, Wikipedia and some health sites.
"No service provider shall offer or charge discriminatory tariffs for data services on the basis of content," ruled the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.
The body had been investigating whether any online content should be prioritised over others, or offered for free while others were not.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said he would work to make Free Basics legal.
"While we're disappointed with today's decision," he wrote, "I want to personally communicate that we are committed to keep working to break down barriers to connectivity in India and around the world.
"Connecting India is an important goal we won't give up on, because more than a billion people in India don't have access to the internet. We know that connecting them can help lift people out of poverty, create millions of jobs and spread education opportunities."
The World Wide Web Foundation, founded by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the web, welcomed the regulator's decision.
"The message is clear: We can't create a two-tier Internet - one for the haves, and one for the have-nots," said programme manager Renata Avila.
"We must connect everyone to the full potential of the open Web.
"We call on companies and the government of India to work with citizens and civil society to explore new approaches to connect everyone as active users, whether through free data allowances, public access schemes or other innovative approaches."
Vikas Pandey, digital producer for the BBC in India, said there had been an intense publicity campaign on both sides of the debate, with Facebook taking out front page advertising in national newspapers to defend the scheme.
"The people who live in cities and are aggressive users of the internet said: 'You can't dictate the terms, give free internet to villagers and then tell them how to use it'," he said.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has maintained that it is "not sustainable to offer the whole internet for free".
The firm previously said it believed the project - which it launched in 2013 as Internet.org and was offered in 36 countries - had brought more than 19 million people online who would not otherwise have been able to afford access.
The teams will play three Tests and five one-day internationals, with the hosts hoping to stage the day-night contest at Auckland's Eden Park.
"We can't confirm it yet, it's something we're extremely interested in and working towards," said New Zealand Cricket's David White.
New Zealand lost to Australia in the first day-night Test in November 2015.
England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves said earlier this month that England would host their own day-night Test, adding "we just have to decide when it is going to happen".
New Zealand drew the Test series 1-1 when they toured England in 2015, with the hosts winning the one-day series 3-2.
England also beat New Zealand to make the final of the World Twenty20 in March.
Amir, 23, received a five-year ban and served three months in prison for his part in a spot-fixing scam in 2010.
New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White described the incident as "inappropriate and disrespectful".
Playing the sound effect had "trivialised one of the biggest issues facing cricket", he added.
"I've contacted the Pakistan team management to apologise and to assure them there will be no repeat."
Veteran announcer Mark McLeod, who is contracted by New Zealand Cricket, played the sound during one of Amir's spells in a Twenty20 international at Wellington's Westpac Stadium on Friday.
Amir was convicted for delivering pre-arranged no balls at Lord's in a plot that also involved Mohammad Asif and captain Salman Butt.
He returned to the Pakistan national side for the first time since his ban in January and, in Friday's game, went wicketless as New Zealand won by 95 runs.
Reaction to his return has been mixed, with some spectators booing him.
The charity Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) said heavy rain caused untreated sewage to be discharged into the sea through many combined sewer overflows.
Campaigners claim South West Water's systems "aren't coping".
The company said it had made big improvements to bathing water quality.
Andy Cummins, of SAS, said there had been more incidents in Cornwall and Devon over the weekend than in the previous 10 weeks, including at Croyde, Perranporth and Newquay's Fistral beach.
51.2mm Exeter
63.3mm Okehampton
62.6mm Cardinham
39.6mm Chivenor
44.6mm Bude
"The system is at breaking point," he said.
"If there is no rain it should be fine... however as soon as we do get some rain we are seeing these sewer overflows discharge."
Steve England, editor of surf magazine Carve, from St Agnes in Cornwall, said he was shocked on Sunday, and urged the water company to "get its act together".
"I had to take the decision not to go surfing. I could not take my daughter or son in the sea in the knowledge that South West Water had been discharging raw sewage to my local beach," he said.
He had received alerts from Surfers Against Sewage's Safer Seas Service.
A South West Water spokesman said it had spent more than £2bn transforming bathing water in the south west and was planning further work.
1,496 Pollution incidents recorded in 2014 across the UK
325 Beaches affected in 2014
A statement added: "Combined sewer overflows have prevented customers' homes, gardens and businesses flooding with sewage... The discharge is very diluted and the impact is temporary."
The firm said the issues reported over the weekend had been cleared, apart from problems at Readymoney Cove and Par in Cornwall, which were under investigation.
Dylan Archer, 42, and Richard Smith, 26, were killed when a vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed into the busy A27 at about 13:20 BST on 22 August.
The pair had been heading for a cycle trip on the South Downs Way when the crash happened.
The A27 has now partially reopened with a 40mph speed limit imposed, as investigations continue.
Mr Archer, the director of a Brighton IT company, leaves behind his partner Alice and their two sons, aged 15 and 12.
In a statement, his family said his "dry humour and generous nature will be greatly missed by all who knew him".
Mr Smith had worked in a bicycle shop in Cosham, Portsmouth, Hampshire, his family said.
Two years ago he moved to Hove where he worked in marketing and web development.
His family said: "Richard's passions in life were for his family, friends and his beloved bikes. His boundless enthusiasm was infectious.
"He was a truly wonderful, caring and loving person."
Victoria Marie Peck, Mr Smith's girlfriend, posted on Facebook: "I still can't put into words just how much he meant to me. He was the first person I saw in the morning and the last person I saw at night.
"It is hard to feel such pain and not be able to turn to the one person who could always make me feel better. He was my everything."
Earlier Giovanna Chirico, the fiancée of victim Mark Trussler, paid tribute to him.
She said he had taken his motorbike to Shoreham as he wanted to see the last flight of the Vulcan.
"It was a nice day and I texted him when the flight was due," she said.
"He replied saying I should get the kids ready so we could take them out to lunch on his return. I said I loved him and he replied 'I love you too, forever.'
"I didn't hear from him again."
His daughter, Samantha Hollis, said: "My dad was my best friend and the best father anyone could ask for.
"I will painfully miss him every day. I am very proud to be his daughter; he was loved by so many."
Mr Trussler, 54, leaves behind six children - Samantha, Kaitlin, Luke, 12, Mia, 10, Sophia, three, and two-year-old Alicia.
Reverend Ann Waizeneker of St Mary de Haura Church in Shoreham said many people in the town were still in shock.
"We've seen a constant stream of people through the church this week, signing the book of condolence, lighting a candle, and sitting quietly and saying a quiet prayer," she said.
"There's a great sense of love around at the moment."
On Saturday, a minute's silence was held near the site to mark one week since the air show disaster.
Hundreds of mourners gathered on a wooden toll bridge overlooking the crash site on Saturday to hold a minute's silence at the exact time the plane plummeted into traffic one week before.
Later, large crowds gathered for a candlelit vigil on the nearby the Adur Ferry Bridge to create a "bridge of light".
The West Sussex coroner, Penelope Schofield, has said all 11 victims have now been formally identified and their families informed.
Inquests into the deaths of the 11 victims will be opened and adjourned on Wednesday at County Hall North in Horsham, where all the names of those killed will be officially released.
Sussex Police said it has no reason to believe anyone else had died.
Following the crash and resulting fireball, specialists - including forensic archaeologists, anthropologists, odontologists and pathologists - had to examine DNA, teeth and human remains to discover who died.
The wreckage of the plane has been sent to Farnborough in Hampshire where the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) are trying to determine the cause of the disaster.
Their initial findings are expected to be published in the next few days.
Two lanes have been opened on the eastbound carriageway towards Brighton, together with one lane on the westbound carriageway.
A 40mph speed limit has been imposed while investigators continue to work in the area.
The pilot, Andy Hill, remains in a critical but stable condition in an unnamed specialist hospital.

One of its fighters carried out the suicide attack on the Coptic Christian cathedral, the group said in a statement.
Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi had earlier named the attacker as Shafik Mahmoud Mohamed Mostafa, 22.
Mr Sisi said the attack caused "pain to all Egyptians".
IS named the attacker as Abu Abdallah al-Masri.
President Sisi used his address at a service for victims on Monday to urge the government to amend the country's terrorism laws, which he said were "restricting the judicial system" in its battle to prevent such attacks.
He also declared three days of national mourning for the victims of the blast.
The Christian minority in Egypt has frequently been targeted by Islamist militants.
Egypt has seen a wave of attacks by militants since 2013, when the military overthrew President Mohammed Morsi, an elected leader who backed the Muslim Brotherhood, and launched a crackdown against Islamists.
Some of Mr Morsi's supporters blamed Christians for supporting the overthrow.
Instead, it has decided the Chagossians will be offered compensation worth £40m over the next 10 years.
The government also confirmed that the UK would allow the US to keep its military base in the islands in the British Indian Ocean Territory.
Campaigners said they were "disappointed" with the decision.
Families were forced to leave the British overseas territory by the government between 1967 and 1973 when it was leased to the US to build an airbase at Diego Garcia.
Foreign Office minister Baroness Anelay told MPs the government had decided against resettlement on the grounds of "feasibility, defence and security interests and the cost to the British taxpayer".
She said it had "taken care" in coming to its final decision on resettlement and would instead seek to support improvements to the livelihoods of the islanders in their current communities.
The Chagos Refugees Group, which is fighting for the right of the islanders to be allowed to return, said it was "disappointed" with the decision.
Campaigner Sabrina Jean told the BBC: "We will continue our fight any way we can by lobbying here in the UK and the US to see what help and support we can have.
"For me the British government has always done wrong things to the Chagossian community but now it's time to see what we can do to let them correct the wrong they have done to us.
"Everyone has the right to live on their island but why not us?"
There is a 3,000-strong community of Chagossians who live in Crawley, West Sussex, near to Gatwick airport.
The government said in coming to the decision it had considered carefully the practicalities of setting up a small remote community on low-lying islands.
It said the possible challenges were "significant" and included the need to set up modern public services, the limited healthcare and education that would be available and a lack of jobs.
Allen Vincatassin, president of the provisional government of Diego Garcia and Chagos Islands, said he wanted to work with the government regarding the £40m package.
He said: "This money is going to be spent on training and also how to alleviate poverty in certain communities. We will need discuss further how this money will be spent to change the lives of our people.
"This should have been given to us years ago. But in no way will we will be accepting this as an exchange of our right to return."
Television presenter Ben Fogle, who is patron of the UK Chagos Support Association, described the decision as a "dark day" in Britain's history.
In 2015, he insisted he would charter a boat and take exiled islanders back to their homeland if the government refused to support the resettlement.
Reacting to the latest decision, he said: "It's another heartbreaking day for the Chagossian community, who have repeatedly been betrayed and abused by their own government.
"That even now, with so many reasons to support their return, the government has failed to do the right thing, makes this a dark day in our country's history."
The government's decision is the latest in a long legal battle regarding the islanders' right to return back to the islands.
In 2000, the High Court ruled they could return to 65 islands but not to Diego Garcia. The decision was nullified four years later by the government, using royal prerogative.
Then in 2007, the court overturned that order and rejected the government's argument that the royal prerogative was immune from scrutiny.
However, the following year the government won an appeal, with the House of Lords ruling the exiles could not return.
This decision was upheld by the Supreme Court in June.
Pools have won two of the past three games, and moved eight points clear of the relegation places after Tuesday's draw at Newport County.
Hignett, 46, has lost only one of his five matches in charge since replacing Ronnie Moore in mid-February.
"The lads can't have any complaints at the moment," he told BBC Tees.
"They've just got to bide their time, be patient, but make sure when their time comes they're ready."
Form has dictated team selection, although Hignett admits the situation has provided him with welcome quandaries as players look to impress.
"They've all showed me something that I like," the former Middlesbrough, Barnsley and Crewe midfielder added.
"I'm the manager I have to make decisions, we're on a really good run and the lads who have the shirts now, have them and it's up to them to keep them.
"The other lads have to train well and play well when they get the chance."
Eloise Aimee Parry, 21, from Shrewsbury, died in hospital on 12 April after becoming unwell.
Police said the tablets were being tested, but are believed to contain dinitrophenol, known as DNP, which is a highly toxic industrial chemical.
Her mother Fiona Parry said there was "no great panic" until a toxicology report revealed "how dire her situation was" because there was "no antidote".
She said her daughter, who was a student at Glyndwr University, had walked into A&E.
"The drug was in her system, there was no antidote, two tablets was a lethal dose - and she had taken eight," she said.
"As the drug kicked in and started to make her metabolism soar, they attempted to cool her down, but they were fighting an uphill battle.
"She had taken so much DNP that the consequences were inevitable."
Ms Parry said her daughter would be "missed by everyone who knew her".
A coroner's report will establish the exact cause of Ms Parry's death and police have warned others about buying diet pills online.
"We are undoubtedly concerned over the origin and sale of these pills and are working with partner agencies to establish where they were bought from and how they were advertised," Ch Insp Jennifer Mattinson said.
"We urge the public to be incredibly careful when purchasing medicine or supplements over the internet.
"Substances from unregistered websites could put your health at risk as they could be extremely harmful, out-of-date or fake," she said.
The Food Standards Agency has previously advised people not to take any tablets or powders containing DNP, which it said was not fit for human consumption.
A delayed annual report on Turkish prospects for EU membership says there have been serious setbacks in the past two years on freedom of expression.
It also says the independence of the judiciary had been undermined and that new laws run against EU standards.
The report's publication comes at a time when the EU needs Turkey's help in trying to control the refugee crisis.
It also follows parliamentary elections in which President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) regained the majority it lost in June.
Responding to the report, Turkey's ministry for EU affairs called the comments "unfair and excessive", adding that they do not "duly reflect Turkey's reforms in these fields".
"Such comments overlook the balance between freedom and security which is a must for democracies where rules of law prevails," it added.
President Erdogan has stressed his support for a constitution centred on a strong presidency - something he says will be achieved in the next four years.
The report had been pushed back by several weeks because sensitive negotiations on the refugee crisis were taking place with leading Turkish officials, including the president, shortly before the 1 November elections.
The BBC's Chris Morris in Brussels says the Commission's report seems to pull few punches.
Although Mr Erdogan himself is not named in the report's key findings, there are fairly direct criticisms of Turkey's powerful president, our correspondent reports.
After several years of progress on freedom of expression, the report warns of "serious backsliding" over the past two years.
"Ongoing and new criminal cases against journalists, writers or social media users, intimidation of journalists and media outlets as well as the authorities' actions curtailing freedom of media are of considerable concern," it says.
Changes to Turkey's internet law, allowing the authorities to block websites without a court order, were a significant step back from European standards, it adds.
The report says there has also been a severe deterioration of its security situation and that it is imperative that peace talks resume with the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), designated a terrorist group by the Turkish government and the EU.
Hundreds have been killed in fighting between Turkish security forces and PKK fighters in the country's east and south-east since a ceasefire collapsed in July.
Since the election, Mr Erdogan has pushed forward with plans to "liquidate" the PKK and to hold a referendum on a new constitution with increased presidential powers.
However, the AKP, with 317 seats in the 550-seat parliament is short of the 330 seats needed to hold a referendum.
The European Commission warns that the escalation in violence has given rise serious concerns over human rights violations, and that anti-terrorism measures taken in that context need to be proportionate.
It also says that the independence of the judiciary and the principle of separation of powers have been undermined since 2014, with judges and prosecutors placed under strong political pressure. The government's active pursuit of shadowy forces known as "deep state" is highlighted.
The influence by the executive in the investigation and prosecution of high-profile corruption cases continues to constitute a major concern for the Commission, which considers Turkey's track record inadequate in the fight against corruption.
Turkey applied for EU membership in 1987 and accession negotiations began in 2005, but only one of the 33 "negotiation chapters" has since been completed.
Duncan Tomlin, 32, from Oxfordshire, was restrained on 26 July 2014 and put in a police van in Ryecroft, Haywards Heath, where he became unresponsive.
He was taken out of the van and given CPR, but died later in hospital.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it had passed files on the sergeant and four PCs to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
It added that there may also be a case to answer for gross misconduct against the five officers.
IPCC commissioner Jennifer Izekor said it would await a CPS decision and would in the meantime "engage in discussions with Sussex Police about the gross misconduct recommendations".
The father of Mr Tomlin, who was living in Burgess Hill at the time, welcomed the decision to refer the case and said the five officers should now be suspended.
"We consider that it is vital for ensuring continuing public trust in the police that these officers are not allowed to remain on any form of active duty whilst the CPS consider if charges should be brought," Paul Tomlin said.
"We call on the chief constable of Sussex Police to now suspend all five officers concerned."
A Sussex Police spokesman said: "This remains an ongoing IPCC investigation and we are unable to comment on the specifics of the incident in Haywards Heath.
"Our thoughts and condolences remain with Mr Tomlin's family and friends.
"We are working closely with the IPCC in support of their investigation and we await the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service as to whether any charges will be brought against the officers."
The girl was walking with her mother before she was snatched, at Morrisons in Blackburn, Lancashire, at about 15:00 on Thursday.
The man initially carried her away down a travelator but then put her down and she was able to run back to her mother.
A 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of child abduction after the incident at the Railway Road store.
Det Insp Tim McDermott, of Lancashire Police, said the incident was "distressing" for the family and the motives for what happened were "unclear".
Some panels landed on the fourth storey of John Lewis and others on Station Street, which police then shut.
No-one was hurt and there was no damage to property on the street below the department store, a West Midlands Fire Service spokeswoman said.
A spokesman for Grand Central said "adverse weather conditions" meant the tiles had become loose.
Updates on this story and more from Birmingham
Dave Ladkin photographed workers at the top of the building shortly after the panels came off and questioned whether strong winds or poor construction was to blame.
Grand Central shopping centre sits above New Street Station and opened in September, several days after passengers began using the redesigned railway concourse.
It cost about £750m to redesign the railway station and construct the shopping complex in place of the old Pallasades Centre.
In a statement, Grand Central said: "Due to recent adverse weather conditions, a small number of tiles from the roof of Grand Central Birmingham became loose.
"Although no-one was hurt, for precautionary measures, Station Road was temporarily closed while contractors on-site made safe the area to ensure that no further damage occurs."
The 28-year-old, capped six times by his country, made 50 appearances for Darmstadt after joining in 2015.
But the midfielder was unable to stop his side from being relegated from Germany's top flight this season and has moved Norwich on a three-year deal.
He will officially join on Friday, subject to governing bodies' approval.
Norwich head coach Daniel Farke, who himself moved from Germany to Carrow Road in May, told the club website: "I've followed Mario's path for several years.
"He's a really smart technical player with a brilliant left foot. He will bring a lot of quality passing and special creativity to the team.
"In addition to that, he's a really good character and a very nice guy who will fit into Norwich. I'm really looking forward to working with him."

BBC News looks at some of the highlights along the way and gauges reaction from people along the route.
The first stage on 5 July departs from Leeds Town Hall, a suitably imposing symbol of Victorian civic confidence to send the cyclists on their way.
Keith Wakefield, leader of Leeds City Council, said: "I've never had so many people contact me to say how unbelievable this is for them in their lifetime being able to see one of the biggest sporting events in the world."
From there the cyclists make their way a few miles north to Harewood House, a grand 18th Century country house whose grounds, designed by landscape architect Capability Brown, are now more widely known as the location for ITV's long-running soap Emmerdale.
Tour de France officials were entertained at Harewood during Yorkshire's bid to host the event.
Mike Schafer, chief executive of the Harewood House Trust, said: "We will work hard to help showcase the beautiful county of Yorkshire to the world - this is an opportunity for us all and we look forward to July 2014."
The route then takes in the market town of Ilkley, whose cycling club has more than 1,000 members and claims to be the fastest growing in the UK.
Katherine Church, a member of Ilkley Cycling Club, said the town was an "obvious choice".
"It's just beautiful. The roads are amazing, the climbs are incredible, the scenery is spectacular, there's lots of different challenges. It's just going to be brilliant."
Keighley and Ilkley MP Kris Hopkins said: "I have no doubt that it will also encourage people of all ages to dust off their bikes, pull on their helmets and get pedalling."
Moving into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the Tour will pass through the villages of Rylstone, home to the Calendar Girls, Kilnsey with its spectacular limestone crag and Aysgarth, close to the stunning Aysgarth Falls.
Councillor John Weighell from North Yorkshire County Council said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to see the Tour take in some of the most stunning scenery in the Yorkshire Dales.
"Just to have the Tour for almost a full day is wonderful news for the economy and for tourism in North Yorkshire."
The first day ends at the spa town of Harrogate where the weary competitors may be tempted to revive their spirits at the refurbished Turkish Baths or with a cuppa at the famous Betty's tea rooms.
Betty's spokeswoman Paula Kaye said: "We are extremely excited about the news that the sprint finale of the first day of Le Grand Depart will be in Harrogate."
Day two of the 101st Tour gets under starters orders at York racecourse.
Clerk of the course William Derby said: "In our history we have hosted the Queen, the Pope, Royal Ascot, The St Leger, the Olympic Torch and now the Tour is coming to the city, it's exciting news.
"We know that a season at York Races generates £58m for the local economy so can understand how an event like the Tour could well generate double that amount for the region over the weekend alone."
On its way south the route then wends its way through the Pennines, taking in Haworth, known worldwide as the home of the Bronte sisters, and Holmfirth, the filming location for BBC sitcom Last Of The Summer Wine.
The Pennine leg includes the challenging ascent of Holme Moss, a moor rising to 524m (1,719ft) just within the Peak District national park.
Matthew Dixon, a member of nearby Bradfield Parish Council, said: "Bradfield and the surrounding areas has stunning countryside that will provide a breathtaking backdrop to the Tour de France. Village folk are already very excited at the prospect."
Stage two will end in Sheffield where Marco Mori, from La Squadra cycling club, said: "It's fantastic news, especially for those who've been involved in cycling all their lives.
"There's a lot to look forward to, and even beforehand the teams will be over here checking out the route - we'll be seeing team riders, team cars."
From Yorkshire the Tour moves to the east of England with the third stage beginning in Cambridge on Monday 7 July.
The city, famous for its university, is also a hub of science and technology and is often referred to as the cycling capital of the UK.
Councillor Martin Curtis, Cambridgeshire's "cycling champion", said: "For me, this news cements Cambridgeshire's reputation as a place which has cycling in its DNA, with thousands of people getting on their bikes every day."
Colin Bedford, who runs March Veteran and Vintage Cycle Club in the city, said: "Our club has been involved in three Tours de Britain and fingers crossed we might be asked to put on a display to entertain the crowd for the Tour de France, which honestly would be the bee's knees."
It is then on to the relative tranquillity of Epping Forest, where Chris Whitbread, leader of Epping Forest District Council, said riders could enjoy "many historic gems" before heading to the capital.
"I would love for them to come to my home town of Epping obviously, but there's the forest, of course and Waltham Abbey," he said.
In London, the route takes in the Olympic Park and a final sprint to The Mall.

The 25-year-old played eight games for the Raiders in 2016, who lost in last weekend's play-offs last four.
He returns for a second spell in Super League, having played 10 games for Catalans Dragons in 2014.
"Sam will bring a wealth of experience and a good kicking game," said Wildcats head coach Chris Chester.
"He is a great signing for the club, a big coup and a number of Super League clubs were chasing his signature."
Williams discussed Chester's methods with Raiders teammate Josh Hodgson, who played under the Trinity coach at former club Hull KR.
"I have heard good things from Josh on his coaching and I am now excited to be a part of it and am looking forward to what the future holds," he added.
Dairy farmers have warned they will go out of business if they do not receive higher prices for their milk.
The price paid to farmers is about 19p a litre but they say they need about 27p a litre to break even.
Ms O'Neill said she would continue to lobby Europe to address the issue.
She will lead a delegation in the coming weeks to meet the EU farm commissioner Phil Hogan.
He has, so far, resisted calls for the EU to raise the milk "intervention price".
"What we need to see is intervention at a European level, particularly in relation to price intervention that would allow the market to bottom out which would allow us then to start to build again," Ms O'Neill said.
"Phil Hogan can continue to live in an ivory tower if he wishes but this is a global problem. It's not just a problem for farmers in Northern Ireland, it's a problem right across the board on a European level."
UUP MEP Jim Nicholson has brought a report before the European agriculture committee which was endorsed by members and will be voted on by parliament.
In the report, Mr Nicholson calls for the intervention price of milk to be raised - that is the base price that the EU pays, regardless of market conditions.
"So far, the door has been slammed in our face by saying yes, there is a problem. But it's not a crisis so we have got to continue that battle and that is what I will do," he said.
Ms O'Neill said her staff had been working with farmers in Northern Ireland to address "cash flow pressures".
"They've been working right throughout the spring and the summer around looking at training events, looking at specific issues around cost control, benchmarking, business management, so helping farmers with practical things on the ground and what they can do in relation to their own costs," she said.
"I would encourage all farmers who are in difficulty to speak to dairy advisors."
The Stormont agriculture committee is being recalled on Thursday to discuss the crisis, and farmers are planning a protest.
DUP MLA Edwin Poots, who sits on the committee, said the dairy industry was traditionally a sector which had "steady prices" and "reasonable profit".
"Over the course of this past number of years, we've had huge fluctuations in prices and the dip, on this occasion, has been extremely long and extremely deep and farmers are being hit like never before," he said.
"Dairy farmers, traditionally, have borrowed much more extensively from the banks and consequently there is a significant danger should nothing be done to actually support the dairy industry at this time.
"As a result of that, many farmers, without assistance, will end up going bankrupt and we'll see considerable numbers of farms in our newspapers up for sale by the latter end of this year."
John Henning from Danske Bank said "inevitably" there was "more pain to come" for dairy farmers.
"We're making those phone calls, we're calling out to see those dairy farmers to identify where there are cash flow difficulties and working with those farmers to help get them through the current difficulties," he said.
"We've developed the dairy support package to help those farming customers through the inevitable cash flow difficulties which will follow the current milk price.
"Analysts are generally positive about the longer term outlook for the dairy sector and we share that optimism, but increasingly the industry recognises that agriculture is really operating in a global environment."
There are more than 2,500 dairy farms in Northern Ireland.
English Heritage has hidden 1,066 arrows at castles, forts, stone circles and stately homes.
Finders win one of 1,066 prizes - one is a sleepover at Dover Castle.
The search started with an arrow placed on the battlefield in Sussex on "the very site where William beat Harold", chief executive Kate Mavor said.
The hunt continues until all the arrows, which also have red feathers and a unique code, have been found.
Ms Mavor said: "1066 is the most famous date in English history and the Battle of Hastings was arguably the most important battle in our history, the results of which had consequences for every corner of England."
Other prizes include a private tour of Stonehenge and tickets to English Heritage's re-enactment of the Battle of Hastings in October.
The battle, which happened on 14 October 1066, is being marked with a series of events including recreating the march of King Harold's army from Yorkshire down to Battle, near Hastings, and his clash with the Normans.
The conflict saw the deaths of the country's last Anglo Saxon king, Harold Godwinson, and much of England's nobility and enabled William, Duke of Normandy, to claim the English throne.
This year, English Heritage will also open up the roof of the Great Gatehouse at the abbey founded at Battle by William of Normandy, who went on to be known as William the Conqueror.
Ex-Forest striker Holt played with the 21-year-old at Hibernian last season.
Cummings scored 23 goals in 39 appearances as Hibs won the Scottish Championship title.
Holt told BBC Radio Nottingham: "He gets in fantastic positions. Nine out of 10 times, when he gets an opportunity you'll back him to score."
Cummings has joined the Championship side on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee and Holt expects him to transfer his talents to England's second tier..
"He's a goalscorer," Holt added. "When the ball comes in the box he comes alive.
"He has scored bagfuls. He has stuff to work on but he is only young.
"He has worked a lot more on taking the ball and bringing the team up the pitch. That's where he will get better and better. And if he can add to what he can do then he has a good career ahead of him."
"He needs to test himself again. It's a great move. That club is a sleeping giant and if he can do what I know he can do then the fans will like him.
"I knew Forest was on the radar for him. It's a club that was fantastic for me. I loved it but it needs to be pushing get to the Premier League. Bringing in players who are hungry can only be good for the club.
"He scores goals for fun. Fans will have to give him a bit of breathing space because of where he has come from, but I am sure when he does find his feet the fans will take to him." | England were thankful to the brilliance of goalkeeper Joe Hart and large slices of good fortune as they escaped with a draw from a torrid World Cup qualifier in Slovenia.

Two soldiers and a driver died in the attack on a vehicle carrying election materials in a remote coca-growing region, the military said.
The election frontrunner is Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, who cracked down on the Maoist Shining Path guerrillas.
However she is not expected to win a clear majority.
Polls opened at 08:00 local time (13:00 GMT). Opinion polls indicate that Ms Fujimori will not obtain the 50% of votes needed to avoid a second run-off round.
Her closest challengers are centrist Pedro Pablo Kuczynski and left-winger Veronika Mendoza.
Shadow of jailed ex-president cast over Peru polls
Keiko Fujimori has marketed herself as being tough on crime and is supported by some Peruvians who credit her father with defeating the rebels.
Mr Fujimori is currently serving 25 years in prison for ordering death squads to massacre civilians during his attempts to end the insurgency.
The Shining Path rebel group was largely dismantled in the 1990s after a decade-long conflict that killed about 69,000 people.
However, rebels estimated to number in the hundreds still control areas of jungle in a coca-growing region of the country and the Peruvian authorities say they have joined forces with drug gangs.

Colum Eastwood said a breakdown of recipients was "imperative", given that the scheme risked excluding sporting organisations including the GAA.
Last October, the programme was launched in an Orange Hall by Paul Givan and Arlene Foster.
The funding was £500,000, but that figure has nearly quadrupled to £1.9m.
On Friday, Mr Givan said the programme was " hugely oversubscribed" with more than 850 applications received by his department.
He confirmed that 90 organisations would be funded but there would be "many disappointed applicants".
The deputy district master of Sixmilewater Orange Lodge, William Strange, was quoted in the government press release, saying the funding was "a great boost for our hall and the local community".
On Saturday, Mr Strange told the BBC that his Orange Hall - Tildarg, near Ballyclare - would receive £24,700 under the scheme.
He said the money would be used to install new disabled access toilets, a new kitchen, a new heating system and insulation at the site which dates back to 1873.
However, the SDLP leader said his party had concerns from the time that this fund was opened.
"It seemed, at that stage, that the criteria meant that GAA clubs could not apply," he said. "We were worried that the minister was trying to look after one community rather than the whole community."
Mr Eastwood called on the communities minister to make things clear.
"He needs to publish a list of recipients of this scheme and give us an explanation as to why this scheme was allowed to go over budget in such as way. They are actually talking about spending quadruple the amount that they wanted to spend at the beginning, so I think that is a very serious issue for the minister to address."
When it was originally launched, Mrs Foster said the money would be used to improve halls that were in disrepair or had been damaged - with priority given to those targeted in attacks or by anti-social behaviour.
The Irish News reported on Saturday that a full list of the fund's successful applicants had not been released, despite repeated requests from the newspaper.
At Christmas, Mr Givan cut funds to a scheme offering Irish language scholarships to young people. Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said the £50,000 cut was part of the reason for his resignation as deputy first minister.
Last week, Mr Givan said he had identified the "identified the necessary funding to advance" the Líofa Gaeltacht Bursary Scheme. He also claimed his original decision was not "political".
However, the SDLP leader said on Saturday: "He appears to be a minister for half of the community, he has not done much to illustrate that he is a minister for everyone."
The lower capacity battery charged by 68% in two minutes - but is not big enough to run a smartphone for long.
The higher capacity one charged by 48% in five minutes and could provide up to 10 hours of talk time, the firm said.
Current battery life is a significant limiting factor in the performance of portable devices.
Many tech firms and entrepreneurs are researching the issue.
In March, Samsung announced that the batteries in its new Galaxy S6 handsets could power up to four hours of usage after a 10-minute charge.
Israeli start-up Storedot unveiled a fast-charging device at the beginning of the year which it hopes will eventually be able to charge any smartphone battery in under one minute.
Scientists are also researching alternative battery materials to the traditional lithium-ion such as aluminium and graphene.
Huawei says it used heteroatoms - atoms which are not carbon or hydrogen - which the firm claims can increase charging speeds without affecting the battery's overall lifespan.
"Everyone in the world - consumers and all the manufacturers - would benefit from some unforeseen breakthrough in battery chemistry technology," Motorola president Rick Osterloh told the BBC in July.
"At the moment everyone is getting interesting incremental benefits from changes in lithium-ion batteries but fundamentally there hasn't been a Moore's Law type curve for battery improvements and I think that would be something everyone would benefit [from]."
Moore's Law, which became the bedrock for the computer processor industry, relates to the rate at which processor speeds increase - roughly doubling every two years.
Southend News Network's stories include a mother demanding a £50 spend on gifts for her son's birthday and a restaurant introducing a £5 breastfeeding charge.
Its creator said he "never thought" his site would be officially recognised.
Southend Council said it was better to "have fun" with the spoof stories rather than get annoyed by them.
Other fake stories published on the site since its launch last October include school pupils being taught by cats because of a teacher shortage and the Dartford Crossing being closed because of "thousands of Kent residents trying to enter Essex illegally".
The local authority said it had received calls from concerned residents about some of the stories, including one about trick or treaters needing a council permit at Halloween.
Following a meeting with council officials, the spoof news site has been added to the authority's media database and is treated similarly to more traditional local newspapers and broadcasters.
The site's anonymous creator, who prefers to be known by the nom de plume "The Chief Reporter", said he had been inspired by satirical news sites such as The Onion, The Daily Mash and The Poke.
"My stories are tapping into the types of things people get wound up about. I like a heated, healthy debate," he said.
"Some of the things I write, I could actually see happening in real life. It's how people feel about their own town, their own lives - it taps into that and builds on it."
The reporter said Southend Council had "recognised we're building up town's public profile" with the site, which has more than 6,000 Facebook likes.
Adam Keating, a media manager at the local authority, said interacting with Southend News Network allowed the council to build on its own social media profile.
"Although their stories might not be correct, they've built up a following we could also engage with," he said.
"People have been commenting on the posts with real issues, and we've been replying with facts about 'the truth behind the spoof'.
"The media landscape is changing, and we're treating Southend News Network in the same way we would other local news sites or community groups."
The 10 February action was originally a full walk-out meaning medics would not have staffed emergency care.
It would have been an historic move and caused major disruption to hospitals.
But the British Medical Association has now stepped back from that, saying it wants to minimise disruption.
However, the strike will last longer than planned - 24 hours rather than the 08:00 to 17:00 which was first announced.
But the decision to scale back on the scope of the strike will bring a huge sigh of relief to hospitals.
A full walk-out has never happened before in the history of the NHS and would have led to a mass cancellation of routine treatments, such as knee and hip replacements, as consultants and other staff were redeployed to cover behind the junior doctors.
The stoppage will be the second walk-out by junior doctors over the contract dispute.
The first took place over 24 hours on 12 January and led to about one in 10 non-emergency operations being cancelled, while a 48-hour walk-out planned for last week was called off while talks took place at the conciliation service Acas.

The lessons of the 1975 doctors' strike
BMA junior doctor leader Dr Johann Malawana said despite some "good progress" the union had been left no choice but to announced the stoppage would take place.
He accused the government of taking an "entrenched" position.
The key sticking point is thought to be the government's insistence that the amount of extra pay that doctors get for working a Saturday is cut.
The union had also raised concerns about career progression and patient safety.
Dr Malawana said: "What we are asking for is fair and affordable recognition of unsocial hours."
"We deeply regret the disruption action will cause," he added.
Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also called on Russia to stop providing military support to pro-Russian rebels.
President Putin said Ukraine's army was operating against Ukrainian national interests by seeking to contain Russia.
Violence in eastern Ukraine is at its worst level for months, with a series of deadly attacks over the past week.
The military said early on Monday that seven Ukrainian soldiers had been killed fighting Russian-backed separatists in 24 hours.
It said the heaviest fighting was continuing around the town of Debaltseve.
On Saturday, a series of rocket attacks left 30 people dead and many more injured in the Azov Sea city of Mariupol.
Ukraine's security service on Monday released a video in which it presented what it described as a captured artillery spotter for the Mariupol attacks.
The footage showed the man - a Ukrainian national identified as Valeriy Kirsanov - admitting he guided the strikes which had been carried out on orders by a Russian regular army officer.
The rebels blame the attacks on Ukrainian troops, calling them a provocation.
Nato and Ukrainian officials were meeting in Brussels to discuss the recent surge in fighting.
"The statement that there is a Nato legion in Ukraine is nonsense," Mr Stoltenberg said. "There is no Nato legion, the foreign forces in Ukraine are Russian."
The Nato chief also urged Russia to stop providing backing to rebels, saying hundreds of pieces of advanced weaponry including tanks, heavy artillery and armoured vehicles had crossed the border.
He was responding to comments that Mr Putin made to students in St Petersburg.
"In effect, it is no longer an army but a foreign legion, in this case Nato's foreign legion, which does not of course pursue the aims of Ukraine's national interests," said the Russian president.
Those aims were "connected with achieving the geopolitical objectives of containing Russia", he said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the Kiev government had tried "to derail the peace process... again and again".
There have been warnings from the West that existing sanctions against Russia could be stepped up in response to the latest violence. EU foreign ministers are due to hold an extraordinary meeting on Ukraine on Thursday.
Mr Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, accused the West of "economic blackmail".
During ongoing violence around Donetsk, nearly 500 miners were briefly trapped after shelling hit an electricity substation and cut power to their mine.
Emergency workers said all the miners had been rescued.
Rebel leader Alexander Zakharchenko said on Saturday that separatist forces intended to surround the government-held Debaltseve, where the military said the violence had been most intense overnight into Monday.
Mr Zakharchenko also initially said his troops had begun an offensive to retake the strategically important city of Mariupol, but later backtracked and blamed Ukrainian forces for the deaths there.
OSCE observers said analysis of a crater in Mariupol indicated that the rockets had been fired from rebel-held territory. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said intercepted radio and telephone conversations proved separatists were behind the attacks.
More than 5,000 people have been killed in fighting since the rebels seized swathes of Donetsk and Luhansk regions last April, according to UN estimates. More than a million people have been displaced.
A ceasefire agreed as part of a peace deal signed in September has been repeatedly violated by both sides.
Ukraine and the West have accused Russia of arming the rebels and sending its troops into Ukrainian territory.
Russia has denied directly arming the separatists, and blames Ukraine for the surge in fighting.
The OSCE said its permanent council would meet in Vienna on Monday "in light of the rapid deterioration of the situation in eastern Ukraine".

The fire broke out at the Piperdam Holiday Resort in the early hours of Thursday.
Police said the family of missing man Jamie McLennan, 26, from Aberdeen, has been told of the discovery.
It is understood that Mr McLennan had been visiting two registered guests staying at the resort, however, the two guests were not in the lodge when the fire broke out.
Formal identification is yet to take place.
Mr McLennan was last seen by friends in the West Port area of Dundee at about 03.30 on Thursday.
The fire is being treated as unexplained and a joint investigation with Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is ongoing into the circumstances of the fire.
The lodge was a stand-alone building and no other lodges or guests were affected.
An average of almost 13.5 million people have tuned in to each episode of the BBC One competition, according to the research body Barb.
It is the largest number of viewers Bake Off has attracted in its seven-year history.

The data covers only the first five episodes of the current series, and does not include the sixth instalment which aired on 28 September.
Other popular shows this year have been ITV's talent show Britain's Got Talent and Euro 2016 matches, with the former as Bake Off's closest competitor.
One episode of the talent show attracted 12.5 million viewers in April, putting it in sixth place.
Channel 4 has signed a three-year deal with Love Productions, which makes The Great British Bake Off, to air the show from 2017.

Family friends told the BBC that a Shanghai court had reduced Mr Humphrey's sentence.
His case was connected to the GlaxoSmithKline corruption scandal.
He was released on health grounds and has been moved to a Shanghai hospital for tests relating to cancer.
He will be deported on release from hospital.
Friends of the family said the British consulate in Shanghai is processing an emergency passport. His departure may be as soon as Wednesday.
Mr Humphrey's son, Harvey, said in a statement:
"I am stunned and delighted. I hope to see both my parents as soon as possible. My father may need treatment for his health, but he will soon be able to speak for himself."
Mr Humphrey's American wife and fellow investigator, Yu Yingzeng, remains in prison.
She too was detained in 2013 and sentenced in August last year to two years in prison. She is due to be released on 11 July.
The couple were detained after helping GSK investigate a secretly filmed sex tape of its then top manager in China.
GSK was fined £300m by the Chinese authorities for bribes to hospitals and officials in an attempt to boost sales.
The couple were found guilty of illegally obtaining Chinese citizens' data and selling it to firms including GSK China.
They both admitted buying background information, but said they did not realise this was illegal.
A site in the Solihull area was raided police, executing a warrant, and RSPCA inspectors.

The RSPCA confirmed a "number of small-breed dogs" had been removed.
"The investigation is currently ongoing," a spokeswoman said.
Research in Science journal looked at the 18 strains of influenza A and the hemagglutinin protein on its surface.
They say there are only two types of this protein and people are protected from the one their body meets first, but at risk from the other one.
A UK expert said that could explain different patterns in flu pandemics.
The researchers, from University of Arizona in Tucson and the University of California, Los Angeles, suggest their findings could explain why some flu outbreaks cause more deaths and serious illnesses in younger people.
The first time a person's immune system encounters a flu virus, it makes antibodies targeting hemagglutinin - a receptor protein that sticks out of the surface of the virus - like a lollipop.
Even though there are 18 types of influenza A, there are only two versions - or "flavours" of hemagglutinin.
The researchers, led by Dr Michael Worobey, classed them as "blue" and "orange" lollipops.
They said people born before the late 1960s were exposed to "blue lollipop" flu viruses - H1 or H2 - as children.
In later life they rarely fell ill from another "blue lollipop" flu - H5N1 bird flu, but they died from "orange" H7N9.
Those born in the late 1960s and exposed to "orange lollipop" flu - H3 - have the opposite pattern.
His team looked at cases of H5N1 and H7N1 - two avian (bird) flus which have affected hundreds of people, but have not developed into pandemics.
The researchers found a 75% protection rate against severe disease and 80% protection rate against death if patients had been exposed to a virus with the same protein motif when they were children.
Dr Worobey said the finding could explain the unusual effect of the 1918 "Spanish flu" pandemic, which was more deadly among young adults.
"Those young adults were killed by an H1 virus and from blood analysed many decades later there is a pretty strong indication that those individuals had been exposed to a mismatched H3 as children and were therefore not protected against H1.
"The fact that we are seeing exactly the same pattern with current H5N1 and H7N9 cases suggests that the same fundamental processes may govern both the historic 1918 pandemic and today's contenders for the next big flu pandemic."
Jonathan Ball, professor of molecular virology at University of Nottingham, said: "This is a really neat piece of work and provides a reason why human populations have been susceptible to different strains of bird influenza over the past 100 years or so.
"The findings are based on analysis of patient records and they certainly need validating in the laboratory, but nonetheless the results are pretty compelling."
Mr Mills died following a long battle against cancer.
The 77-year-old was Worcestershire County Cricket Supporters Association (WCCSA) chairman for 41 years, having officially taken on the role in 1975.
His work was supported by his wife Pat, who was secretary for more than 40 years until her death in April 2014.
The association has raised close to an estimated £7m in the 65 years since being formed in 1951.
Mills was only the third chairman in its history.
Prior to that, he had already contracted bone cancer, which he fought for a decade while carrying on his duties as both WCCSA chairman and treasurer.
Mills was awarded an MBE for his services to the association.
All 18 first-class counties, just like any fan-owned football club or many grassroots sporting organisations, owe a debt of gratitude to the hours of unpaid service put in by faithful followers.
But the WCCSA has proved more successful than most, relying largely on membership payments, donations and its successful club shop.
This has helped fund improvements to facilities all over the 120-year-old county ground at New Road.
The Ladies Pavilion, the New Road Stand, the old Diglis End scoreboard, the players' dressing rooms attached to the old Pavilion, and the press box were among the many things paid for from the funds.
Director of Cricket Steve Rhodes said Mills had been an "amazing person."
"When you look around the ground, the amount of contributions the Supporters' Association - and Ken - has played a role in have helped the club is many fold," he said.
Wawrinka, seeded third, won 6-7 (1-7) 6-4 7-5 6-3 to add the US title to his 2014 Australia Open title and his French Open triumph last year.
The 31-year-old hit 46 winners in a brilliant display of shot-making.
Serbia's Djokovic made a strong start but struggled physically as the final entered a fourth hour in New York.
Wawrinka has now won all three Grand Slam finals he has played and his last 11 finals in a row, and has become the oldest male winner of the US Open since 35-year-old Ken Rosewall in 1970.
"My goal is to give everything I have to be the best I can," said Wawrinka, who saved a match point in the third round against Britain's Dan Evans.
"I never had a goal to win a Grand Slam but I am trying as best I can. Match after match I was playing better."
Djokovic, 29, was the defending champion and trying to win his third Grand Slam title of 2016 and 13th of his career
He required treatment for a blister on his big toe in the final set, prompting complaints to the umpire and tournament referee from Wawrinka as the interruption came before his service game.
"Stan, sorry! I can't stand," Djokovic shouted across to him during the break.
After the match, Djokovic said: "Congratulations, Stan, to your team as well. This has been absolutely deserved today. You were the more courageous player in the decisive moment and he deserves his title."
Wawrinka had won just four of 23 previous matches against Djokovic but two of those had come on the way to winning Grand Slam titles, and the contest brought out the best in him once again.
Djokovic had spent just nine hours on court getting to the final, compared to 18 for Wawrinka, and the Serb started much the sharper.
However, a comfortable 5-2 lead disappeared as Wawrinka began to find his range and it required a surge of adrenaline and form to take the Serb through the tie-break.
The Swiss claimed his only point of the tie-break in an astonishing rally of attack and counter-attack, and his groundstrokes began to flow as he took control of the final in the second set.
Djokovic pegged back an early break but Wawrinka continued to exert pressure, setting up two set points with a forehand winner and celebrating as the Serb went wide, smashing his racquet in frustration.
There were early signs of some physical discomfort when Djokovic patted over two smashes at 3-0 down in the third set but again he broke back, converting just his third break point of 14.
Another tie-break loomed but the sheer weight of shot coming at him across the net drew a 14th error of the set to edge Wawrinka ahead.
The Swiss looked much the stronger in the fourth set, and doubts only emerged when Djokovic called for the trainer to treat a blister - something that riled Wawrinka as it occurred ahead of his service game.
Wawrinka appeared to have been distracted as he fell break-point down three times in the following game, but he held on each time, pumping his fist as he clinched what proved to be the decisive hold.

Djokovic continued to chase down as much as he could, despite a bloodied toe, but Wawrinka converted his second match point to claim his third major title in as many years.
"This is amazing," he added. "I came here without the goal of winning it but stepped on the court trying to win the match.
"I played a lot of tennis, I am completely empty. There was so much emotion with the crowd, the atmosphere, the stadium, it's been an amazing night."
Djokovic had arrived in New York with doubts around his state of fitness following a wrist injury, his form after defeat at Wimbledon and the Olympics, and the added concern of unspecified "personal issues".
The Serb, 29, was helped in terms of recovery by two retirements and one walkover among his six opponents on the way to the final, but he still came up short physically.
"At this level, after playing seven, eight months of the season, obviously you're not very fresh but coming into the Grand Slam final you are giving it your best," he said.
"We both felt it. We both felt the demanding match that we played today, but he came out on top, he was the better player, tougher mentally.
"It was a fantastic couple of weeks for me. I didn't know if I was going to come a few weeks before because I struggled physically. If someone had told me I was going to play in the final I would definitely have accepted it."
Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent:
"Wawrinka won this US Open by playing 27 sets - and spending 21 hours and 49 minutes on court. Three times a Grand Slam finalist; three times a champion. With his powerful presence and strong mind, he has proved unbeatable in any final since June 2013.
"Though exhausted, Wawrinka knew he was more match tight, and Djokovic's lack of competitive matches in New York did turn out to be a factor. The world number one was not at his best either physically or mentally, which is a minimum requirement in his matches against the Swiss these days.
"Wawrinka said this week he was surprised to be a two-time Grand Slam champion given the domination of others during his career. But having learned from the best on both the practice court and the match court, don't be surprised if he ends his career with more than three."
Scott Snowden, 39, and Robert Jennings, 51, set the fire that killed Thomas Sharkey Snr, 55, his son Thomas Jnr, 21, and daughter, Bridget, eight.

Appeal judges have rejected their claims that the judge did not give fair balance to defence and Crown evidence.
The pair raised challenges against their convictions and maintained that the trial judge Lord Matthews did not give fair balance to defence and Crown when he came to address the jury at the end of the trial.
But Lord Carloway, who heard the appeal with Lady Smith and Lord Brodie at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh, have now unanimously rejected the challenges.
The Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Carloway, said: "The whole tenor of this charge [address to the jurors by the trial judge] was one of balance."
The senior judge said: "The court is quite unable to sustain a submission of a lack of balance.
"No doubt the trial judge did not mention every point made by the defence in the speeches made on behalf of the appellants."
Lord Carloway said it "would not have been appropriate to do so, partly because such an exercise in itself may have been open to criticism as tarnishing the power of the speeches within the dramatic context of the trial as it developed live".
The judge continued: "A contention that a miscarriage of justice has occurred, which is supported only by pointing to a judge's failure to mention a particular point or points raised by the defence, will not, of itself, suffice.
"The criticism must be a substantial one of imbalance going to the whole whole tenor or purport of the charge."
He added: "Put simply, an appellant will require to demonstrate that, looking at the charge as a whole, its tenor was unbalanced in the sense of demonstrably favouring the Crown upon a contentious issue of fact raised in the trial."
Lord Carloway said: "The question then is one of whether, looking at the whole tenor or purport of this charge, the trial judge said, or failed to say, something which might have had the result of misleading the jury or diverting them from their task. The answer to that question is in the negative."
Lord Carloway concluded: "The court is entirely satisfied that the judge achieved the appropriate balance."
The appeal judges rejected further grounds advanced by Jennings and commented that on one of them, over expert evidence of identification, that it was surprising that leave to appeal was granted.
The fire that killed three members of the Sharkey family was set in the early hours of 24 July 2011.
Thomas Sharkey Snr was asleep downstairs and managed to climb out on to a ledge, where he was rescued by firefighters.
He had breathed in toxic smoke and sustained 30% burns to his body. He died in hospital six days later from multiple organ failure.
His son, Thomas Sharkey Jnr, was pronounced dead at the scene and his daughter, Bridget, died in hospital later that morning. Both died from smoke inhalation.
Mr Sharkey's wife Angela was the only member of the family to survive the blaze.
She eventually came off a life support machine only to be told by relatives that her family was dead.
Snowden and Jennings were also convicted of attempting to murder Angela Sharkey and of attempting to murder three members of the McGinley family, in a separate attack, by setting fire to their home.
The sentences handed out by Lord Matthews to Snowden and Jennings were among the longest ever passed in Scotland.
The animal was wearing a leash and collar and appeared to be tame, police in Conroe near Houston said.
Animal control officers captured the animal and police are seeking its owner.
If the tiger and its owner live in Conroe, the animal will no longer be able to live there as a result of this incident, police said.
Ex-MPs Mark Reckless and Neil Hamilton, and Nigel Farage's head of media Alexandra Phillips are all applying to stand as regional list candidates.
Ken Beswick, UKIP's general election candidate in Torfaen, said Welsh members should run the party in Wales.
UKIP said it wanted the "best quality of representation possible" for Wales.
If the party maintains recent levels of support in Wales it is likely to get several regional list AMs, as they are elected via a form of proportional representation.
The regional list candidates will be picked by a central committee, whereas the party's 40 constituency candidates will be selected by local branch votes.
The successful regional list candidates will be announced in October.
One former candidate, who did not want to be named, told BBC Wales he was "extremely angry" and he and others were considering quitting the party over the way the selection is being run.
Another said if Mr Reckless, Mr Hamilton and Ms Phillips were selected they would "go down like a lead balloon" with voters.
Ken Beswick said: "They're being brought in from the outside with little knowledge of the area or the people, or the customs, or the assembly for that matter - you need local people.
"UKIP is going to have a hard enough time anyway fighting the Conservatives and Labour and to have candidates coming from the outside that no-one knows, and they're not Welsh, is not going to go down well.
"The autonomy the party should have in Wales isn't there - they're being dictated to by head office."
UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill said his party was "committed to ensuring that the people of Wales have the best quality representation possible".
"It is for this reason that UKIP has designed a rigorous process for selecting regional list candidates that will ensure that the right people are put forward by the party at next year's elections."
A UKIP spokesman said all major decisions were made by a National Executive Committee to which any UK member could seek election.
Sean Conway will use a bamboo bike and carry all his gear with him during what he predicted would be "the three toughest months" of his life.
He is already believed to be the first person to have run, swam, sailed and cycled the length of the UK.
The 34-year-old, from Cheltenham, began his challenge earlier at Lulworth Cove, Dorset.
He will cycle around the coast to Scarborough where he will leave his bike and run to Brighton. Once there he will begin his final leg and swim back to where he started.
Mr Conway completed an "ultimate triathlon" between Land's End and John O'Groats in May last year.
Before starting out he said: "I was conscious of trying to up my game from the last few adventures I've done. I've done a long cycle independently, a long swim and a long run.
"I thought why not combine them all into some sort of epically big, ironman triathlon?
"Then I thought, well I love Britain, I love this island, it's got so much to offer, why don't I do one big one following the coastline?
"It's quite daunting, but I am as ready as I can be - you have just got to prepare as you go along.
"It gives me purpose and a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I want to inspire people, as most people can do a lot more than they think they can."
A documentary will air on the Discovery Channel later in the summer and his progress can be tracked the channel's website.

Ms Cahill claims she was raped as a teenager by a suspected IRA member and said she was later interrogated by the IRA who covered up what happened.
Mr Adams said there was no doubt that Ms Cahill was caused great distress and was entitled to truth and justice.
Speaking in Belfast, he said he did all he could to support Ms Cahill and that Sinn Féin had acted in good faith.

This may look like a cross between a mouse and a hedgehog, but it's actually a lowland streaked tenrec.
Four of the little creatures have arrived at Chester Zoo. Check them out:
Mr Ceballos, of the Popular Will party, is the mayor of San Cristobal, where the current wave of anti-government protests broke out six weeks ago.
His arrest comes a month after the party's leader, Leopoldo Lopez, was detained on similar charges.
The government accuses them of whipping up unrest to carry out a coup.
"This is an act of justice for a mayor who not only did not meet his obligations as required by law and the constitution, but also facilitated and supported all the irrational violence first unleashed in the city of San Cristobal," Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez said on state television.
He also said that a member of the National Guard was shot dead in San Cristobal on Wednesday during "vandalistic acts" by protesters.
At least 31 people have been killed in protest-related violence since the first demonstrations against lack of security took place in San Cristobal on 4 February.
Mr Ceballos was arrested in a hotel in the capital Caracas, by agents of Venezuela's intelligence service (SEBIN).
He was in the capital to attend a meeting of opposition mayors, his aide said.
Mr Ceballos has been an outspoken critic of the tactics used by the security forces to police the protests which have disrupted life in the western city for six weeks.
He said the university students who led the protests have been unjustly targeted, and accused police and soldiers of using excessive force.
The protests have since spread to the capital Caracas and been joined by Venezuelans disgruntled by the country's skyrocketing inflation, shortages of some staple foods and Venezuela's high murder rate.
The opposition says the government is violently repressing the protests and trying to silence the administration's critics.
A number of opposition politicians have been charged in connection with the unrest, which they say is part of a government campaign to defame them.
Popular Will leader Leopoldo Lopez has been held for a month on charges of arson and conspiracy.
And on Wednesday, San Diego Mayor Enzo Scarano of the opposition MUD coalition was sentenced to 10 months in prison for failing to keep protesters from barricading streets in his northern city.
Venezuela's National Assembly has also voted to start a process to strip opposition politician Maria Corina Machado of her immunity, which could pave the way for her being charged with attempting to destabilise the government.
President Nicolas Maduro accuses the opposition of planning a coup against his government and has blamed the violence on "murderous fascist groups".
He says he has repeatedly invited the opposition to the presidential palace for talks, but that they have refused to attend.
Earlier this week opposition leader Henrique Capriles agreed to meet the president, but no date has so far been set for the meeting.
In its heyday the Welsh Presbyterian Church saw a congregation of up to 300 immigrants through its doors on Sunday for services in Welsh and English.
But over the years that number has been reduced to about 10 regulars.
The closure has been partly blamed on social changes with new generations not interested in maintaining chapel traditions, one parishioner said.
Welsh church members, who held their final service earlier in December, said they will still have access to the building as it is being taken over by a community group.
"The Welsh church prospered for many years but in the last few years membership decreased," says Frank Williams, chair of the church's board of trustees for the last 15 years.
The aging congregation is no longer able to travel long distances to get to church while other families have moved away over the years, he said.
However, there was once a strong Welsh community in LA and the wider southern California area, added Mr Williams who left Wales to work for Boeing aircraft in 1967.
The church was founded in 1888 by the Reverend David Hughes from Llanuwchllyn, Gwynedd, and was originally located at another building.
Hughes founded two churches, one for English speakers and another for Welsh speakers.
The first lost its Welsh identity long ago, according to the church website.
And the second became the present Welsh Presbyterian Church which started with 22 Welsh immigrants in the back of a store before moving to its first church.
In 1926, a bigger building was needed for the growing congregation and a Jewish synagogue built at the turn of the century became its new home.
It was bought by two churchmen on behalf of the congregation and continued to play a central role in the lives of Welsh people and their descendants as LA continued to be developed.
Up until 30 years ago the church maintained many Welsh traditions, including having a successful choir, according to Mr Williams.
He said its "crowning achievement" was singing in the Oscar winning 1940s Hollywood film, How Green Was My Valley, about life in a south Wales mining community.
Today, the church is registered as a historical building.
Welsh church parishioner Dafydd Evans from Manhattan Beach, California, said the building retains many of its original features.
Mr Evans, whose granddaughters were the last to be baptised in the church, said due to deaths and members moving away from Los Angeles, the congregation is down to "less than 10 people coming each Sunday and we're all senior citizens".
He said: "It is ironic that a leader of the Jewish community has bought the building and plans to upgrade the property and use it for cultural activities and religious services.
"It will include the local community and also us, the Welsh, if and when we need the building.
"So the lovely old place will continue to serve and I'm sure will be loved for many years to come."
Mr Evans, originally from Nantymoel in the Ogmore Valley, has researched the Welsh church's history and its record books - in English and Welsh - show that community met in various buildings before a permanent building was secured in 1893.
The last full-time minister retired in 1964.
Mr Evans said: "What is Los Angeles losing now that the Welsh church is closing?
"Well, of course, there is the loss of a spiritual home... and a small part of Wales.
"We have been very fortunate to have not only to have Welsh and Welsh Americans in our congregation, but also English and Americans with no Welsh family connections," said Mr Evans who emigrated with his wife and children in 1964.
"What we've been lacking are the young Welsh immigrants who tell us that they didn't go to chapel in Wales and weren't going to start here."
About 70 people were in the building in the port town of Mongla, 200km (125 miles) south-west of the capital Dhaka, when the roof gave way. The factory had been under construction.
More than 60 people were rescued and many were taken to hospital. Many had been working on the roof itself.
Bangladesh has a history of poor building safety standards.
The collapse of the Rana Plaza complex in Dhaka left more than 1,130 people dead in 2013. Most of them had worked in the garment industry.
The disaster was one of the world's worst industrial accidents.
In Mongla, rescue co-ordinator Mizamur Rahman told BBC Bengali that six bodies had so far been recovered.
Rescuers have seen two more bodies but have not said how many more workers remain missing.
The cement factory compound is army-owned but the construction work was being carried out by a Chinese-owned firm.
Survivors said dozens of the men had been working on the roof when it collapsed.
Footage broadcast on television in Bangladesh showed piles of scaffolding, metal and concrete at the bottom of the building.
The review was led by Health Minister Lord Howe and examined the role of the Department of Health and the UK regulator the MHRA.
It questions how well women with these implants were informed about the risks.
It says that although the MHRA followed scientific and clinical advice, it should "review and further develop its communications capability."
And it must "obtain evidence from a wider and more detailed set of sources..."
The issue is with safety of silicone breast implants made by the French company Poly Implant Prothese (PIP).
The firm's products were banned in 2010 when it emerged that industrial grade silicone was being used. Implants should be made from medical grade material, which has passed safety tests for use in a human body.
The report says this was a case of deliberate fraud by the PIP manufacturer and regulation alone cannot prevent that.
But it says a "higher level of proactive public communication could have been helpful", especially while awaiting toxicology test results. It suggests a more creative interaction with affected women, perhaps through use of social networking (like Facebook) could have been useful.
In March the Commons Health Committee criticised the government and health regulator for failing to adopt a high profile sooner.
Lord Howe says there is no evidence that the MHRA or the Department of Health significantly failed to do their job.
"But serious lessons must be learned from this scandal. The MHRA needs to look at how it gathers evidence so it is able to identify problems early. It needs to better analyse reports about higher risk medical devices. And it needs to improve the way it communicates with the public."
You can hear my interview with Lord Howe here:
Between 2003 and 2010 more than 20 letters were sent from the MHRA to PIP raising concerns about the implants. In hindsight, "this body of evidence could be seen as suggestive of a problematic manufacturer."
The review concludes that regulators in all EU countries need to work better together to support early detection of problems, share the information they gather and take appropriate action to protect patients.
Commenting, the President of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Fazel Fatah, said: "Poor post-marketing surveillance of medical devices lies at the root of the PIP crisis. At the BAAPS we feel there needs to be significantly more stringent monitoring of all medical devices including breast implants and all cosmetic injectables, via compulsory, regular reporting of adverse effects and mystery shopping which are all part of our regulation proposals."
Around 47,000 women in the UK have PIP breast implants. Around 95% were fitted privately. A minority of operations were carried out on the NHS, mostly for breast reconstruction following cancer.
Lord Howe's review into PIP implants is one of two set up by the Department of Health in January.
The second review, led by Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, the NHS Medical Director, will look at whether the cosmetic surgery industry needs to be more effectively regulated.
In January Prof Keogh's team concluded there was insufficient evidence to recommend the routine removal of PIP implants. But it recognised the concern that the issue was causing.
It found there was no link between PIP implants and cancer, and the evidence on increased rupture rates was inconclusive.
Throughout the UK any women who had PIP implants fitted on the NHS can get them removed and replaced free of charge.
In Wales the NHS will also replace those of private patients. In England and Scotland the NHS will remove implants of private patients but not replace them.
Latest figures from the Department of Health in England show that 6,632 women with private PIP implants have been referred for hospital checks; 3,865 scans have been completed.
433 women have decided to have the implants removed and 185 have had the surgery.
836 NHS patients with PIP implants have been contacted, 82 scans completed. 214 decisions have been made to remove the implants and 66 women have had this surgery.
The 24-year-old was attacked by up to eight man with bats and was hit with the machete during the attack in Quinton, Birmingham.
West Midlands Police said the victim, who is lucky not to have been killed, had been in a property on Rilstone Road when a number of vehicles pulled up on Tuesday evening.
Police believe it to have been a targeted attack.
A spokesman described it as ferocious and violent and said the injured, whose arm was nearly severed, man was still in hospital with arm and back injuries.
It is hoped the unanimous agreement by Wrexham council will give businessman Simon Wingett more time to raise £2.5m for the sculpture, cultural centre and gardens at Chirk Park.
The original plans to build the attraction were approved in February 2011.
But delays meant the whole project was in danger of running out of time.
The 23.5m (77ft) high dragon with wings spanning 57m (187ft) would stand on top of a 41.5m (147ft) tower at the former colliery site.
Mr Wingett has said the sculpture will rival other well-known landmarks such as the Angel of the North, but time was running out on the original planning permission.
He hopes to raise £1m for the visitor attraction from the public, with the rest of the cash raised through loans from Finance Wales and grants from the Welsh Government.
A report to the council's planning committee on Tuesday recommended approving the extension, stating the development would be a "significant tourism draw to the area".
Local councillor Ian Roberts told the meeting: "I'm fully in support of extending for five years. If we ever get this, it will have a major impact on the economy of Wrexham."
It said that coconut was its "most popular" new ingredient, with coconut porridge selling particularly well.
The sandwich chain reported a 15% rise in sales to record £776m, while its measure of profit hit a record £93m.
Last year, Pret opened its first vegetarian store and the best-selling items from that shop are now sold in all its outlets.
Pret's menu reflects changes in the nation's eating habits.
According to research firm Kantar Worldpanel, for supermarkets, these grocery items were among the fastest-selling last year:
Fraser McKevitt, a retail analyst at Kantar Worldpanel, says those items reflect two trends.
The first is generally to eat more healthily, so more spinach and avocado is on the menu. The second is the growth in people eating more vegetarian-style food, but not necessarily going full vegetarian, hence the growth in halloumi and quark cheeses, he said.
And those trends are not just seen among young, metropolitan types.
"Everybody is trying to watch what they eat," Mr McKevitt said. "The people most concerned about health tended to be older shoppers and consumers."
While coconut products have not made it on to Kantar's list of fast-growing groceries, Waitrose says they have become a favourite with its customers.
"Coconut oil, water and milk have now become part of many customers' regular weekly shopping baskets," Waitrose said.
It has identified coconut flour as one of its key food trends.
For Pret, coconut milk sales now exceed soya milk, while porridge made from coconut milk now accounts for 20% of its porridge sales.
Waitrose says that grains are also "hugely popular", particularly in bread, as well as salads.
"We're using chia seeds in a couple of our wraps, and we've got grains going in our open sandwiches," says Michelle Gibbs, who oversees Waitrose sandwiches.
Pret also last year introduced dairy-free products including a range of soups, which were also free from gluten.
But it's not all nuts and grains. The most popular item at Pret remains the croissant, with 16 million sold last year.
Monika Maldrik says she finished all the assignments for a Higher National Diploma in health and social care management at ABI College, west London.
Ms Maldrik says the delay meant she "lost a year".
The college says it will contest the order made by the County Court Money Claims Centre in May.
The certificate for the course, which ran from September 2013 until May last year, was finally issued in mid-June this year and the college has told Ms Maldrik it is ready to collect.
Her statement to the County Court Money Claims Centre says she paid more than £5,800 in tuition fees for the full-time course.
"Unfortunately, I did not get the service for which I paid," she says in the statement.
The college rejects Ms Maldrik's criticisms of her course but accepts that changes in teaching personnel did cause some delays in marking assignments.
Ms Maldrik, who works for the minimum wage as a carer says she has so far been unable to apply for better jobs because of the delay in issuing the certificate.
The order, which was issued in May after the college did not respond to Ms Maldrik's claim, tells the institution to pay Ms Maldrik, who now lives in Margate, £5,000, including £205 costs.
The college is now applying to have the order set aside and says it will contest the claim.
The college told Ms Maldrik the late issuing of the certificate was due to a block being placed on some candidates by the exam board Pearson which runs the HND qualifications.
A spokesman for Pearson said the exam board was unable to comment on individual cases but said it employed a rigorous set of checks "to enable us to have confidence in any centre which delivers our qualifications which can, on some occasions, result in centres being blocked until any issues have been addressed.
"We regret any distress that this process may cause to students but we have a duty to ensure that standards are upheld nationally so that students, universities and employers can remain confident about the performance of students who complete our courses."

Agnieszka Holland, whose films include the Oscar-nominated Europa Europa, also claims that male directors are forgiven more readily if their films are flops.
This compares to female directors, she went on, who must spend "five years in [movie] hell after just one failure".
The Polish director made her comments at the BFI Southbank in central London.
The Thameside venue is currently running a season of Holland's films as part of the 14th Kinoteka festival of Polish film.
Holland, whose 2011 film In Darkness was also nominated for an Oscar, said female directors suffered because their "demanding" profession was "difficult to combine with a family life".
She also claimed they faced more pressure to succeed from critics and festival programmers, compared to their male counterparts.
The people at the top of the industry, she told an audience on Tuesday, "don't believe women have the capacity to make blockbusters."
Holland also highlighted the imbalances in salaries that saw "male A-listers [being] paid twice as much as female A-listers - if not more".
The director's comments come in the wake of an ongoing debate over women being paid less than men in film, sport and other fields.
In January a report by the Centre for the Study of Women in Television and Film found that just 9% of Hollywood's highest grossing films in 2015 were directed by women.
Another report issued the following month said that Hollywood has an "epidemic of invisibility" for women, minorities and LGBT people.
Holland, the current chair of the European Film Academy, has worked in recent years on such US TV shows as The Wire, House of Cards and the New Orleans-based Treme.
She said that television was a more welcoming environment to female directors, telling host Mark Lawson she had been chosen to direct the pilot episode of Treme ahead of Spike Lee.
The 23-year-old Frenchman impressed against the Falcons in this season's European Challenge Cup, scoring a try in one of the two group stage fixtures.
He joins compatriot Maxime Mermoz among the new faces at Falcons for 2016-17.
"We're constantly looking and trying to improve on what we have," Richards told BBC Newcastle.
"Sami's a loose-head who will be quite destructive as a scrummager."
Jersey flanker Gary Graham was confirmed at the same time as Mavinga, following in the footsteps of father George at Kingston Park.
Richards has been impressed with the recruits already confirmed for next term, notably in the three-quarters where Mermoz, DTH van der Merwe and Josh Matavesi add to the existing options in Vereniki Goneva, Juan Pablo Socino and Sinoti Sinoti.
"There'll be a lot of ball thrown around looking at the back-line we've got," Richards added.
"I don't think there will be many teams in the Premiership with the stardust we've got."
Newcastle, eighth in the Premiership table, travel to Harlequins on Saturday looking for their first win in three games.
Ninety-six football fans died after a crush during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989.
The pictures were published by the team investigating the stadium disaster.
Images of more than 100 people present at the match have now been released during several previous appeals.
Forty-one people have been identified.
Photographs of a further 59 people yet to be traced can be seen on the Operation Resolve website.
New inquests into the disaster are being held in Warrington, Cheshire.
Damian Rzeszowski, 31, stabbed his wife Izabela Rzeszowska, 30, his daughter, Kinga, five, and son, Kacper, two, in St Helier on 14 August last year.
As well as his wife and children, Rzeszowski also killed Marek Garstka, 56, Marta De La Haye, 34, and her daughter Julia De La Haye, aged five.
He was found not guilty of murder by the Royal Court in Jersey, but had already pleaded guilty to manslaughter with diminished responsibility.
Izabela Rzeszowski was born in Bydgoszcz, northern Poland, and moved to St Helier to join her husband in 2004. They were married a year later.
Her family said their hearts were broken "when the hearts of six wonderful people stopped beating".
In a statement they said: "This tragedy is even more painful as we have lost our children and grandchildren.
"Knowing that we will never be able to play with Kinga and Julia again or cuddle little Kacper and we can never talk to Izabela, Marta or Marek again makes the pain unbearable.
"A day does not pass when we do not think about our loved ones and our memories of them bring tears to our eyes."
Mrs De La Haye's husband Craig said: "My life, and the lives of many families, have been devastated since then. Every day is a struggle to continue, and yet it still feels like yesterday that it happened.
"My beautiful wife Marta and wonderful daughter Julia, friends Kinga, Kacper, Isa and Marek, you will never be forgotten.
"Not a day goes past when I don't think about my family. I hope that one day I will see you again, until then... I love you."
Mrs De La Haye's mother, Tamara Jaciubek, said nothing would ever be the same without her daughter and granddaughter.
She said: "Finding the strength to carry on each day without them proves to be a continuous struggle.
"Every day I ask myself why? A question that will never be answered."
Mrs Jaciubek also thanked the Jersey community, saying it was wonderful how the island gathered together and showed compassion.
She said: "The financial help the good people of Jersey donated meant I was able to bring my only child and only grandchild back to Poland, something I will be forever grateful for."
Det Supt Stewart Gull was the senior investigating officer and said his thoughts were with the families of the victims.
"We can only imagine the grief of the families, who lost their loved ones in such brutal circumstances.
"But today is not a day for vindication or celebration, but sad reflection," he said.
One of the largest bombs was in the Shia-majority town of Khalis in the eastern province of Diyala, where at least 40 people were killed.
Another attack in the town of al-Zubair, about 15km (9 miles) south-west of the oil town of Basra, is reported to have killed at least 10 people.
A third bomb in Baghdad killed at least 13 people, police said.
At least 25 others were wounded in the blast in the capital's north-eastern neighbourhood of Husseiniya, according to Associated Press.
While Islamic State (IS) militants said they carried out the blast near Basra, no group has so far claimed responsibility for the other attacks.
However IS militants have frequently bombed Shia areas and government targets as part of their campaign to destabilise the Shia-led government in Baghdad.
The militants see Shias as heretics.
The bombing in Basra comes as a surprise, correspondents say, because it is predominantly Shia - which makes it harder for Sunni jihadist groups to carry out attacks in the same way they do in Baghdad and other parts of the country.
The two other car bombs went off in areas north of Baghdad that are regularly targeted by jihadists, correspondents say.
The blast in a market area of Khalis, around 55km (35 miles) from the capital, took place in a religiously and ethnically divided province that IS partly captured last year. The government said that Diyala was liberated in January.
While the jihadists no longer have fixed positions in the province, correspondents say, they have continued their tactic of planting car bombs and carrying out suicide operations and hit-and-run attacks in the area.
According to UN figures, 717 Iraqis were killed and 1,216 wounded in acts of terrorism, violence and armed conflict in September.
Walkouts took place on 2 and 6 March after earlier talks between the Unite union and the company broke down.
Drivers were angry they were only paid for three bank holidays over Christmas, instead of five.
Now the union has said a new pay deal has been agreed and drivers would get a lump sum to settle the 2016 Christmas dispute.
It added the settlement was reached with the help of conciliation service Acas and the specific details of the package were not being disclosed.
Unite regional secretary Jennie Formby thanked the union's members and said it now wanted to work with the company to provide "the best possible bus services for the people of Oxford".
Oxford Bus Company managing director Phil Southall said he was looking forward to "returning to the regular, constructive dialogue with Unite we've enjoyed in the past".
Unite has nearly 450 members at the company, including drivers, maintenance staff and admin workers.
For five remarkable years, the West Yorkshire town of Halifax was home to a champion rugby league team.
Between 1984 and 1988, Fax climbed out of the Second Division, won the First Division championship, reached a Premiership final and won the Challenge Cup, and were only denied back-to-back Wembley wins by the new force in the sport - Wigan.
Hooker Seamus McCallion was the youngest member of the team having joined the club in 1984, just as the rapid ascent began.
"We didn't do too bad for a bunch of renegades," McCallion told BBC Sport. "Crazy guys who liked to go out for a beer and have a bit of fun.
"When you're successful, you tend to get a lot of free drinks. The team spirit was created by spirit itself you could say, we were drinking a lot - too much I'd say when I look back.
"It was a case of being in the right place at the right time. David Brook bought the Australians over and they made the difference, the level of the game moved onwards and upwards.
"Once we got the balance, once the British guys could master the craft, we didn't look back."
It was a stellar list, Australia Test players Graham Eadie and Chris Anderson - named player-coach, Queensland stars Cavill Heugh and Joe Kilroy, plus props Keith Neller and Geoff Robinson were all part of the Championship season in 1986.
Added to the mix at Thrum Hall were a couple of additions from a little closer to home that completed the set.
"We had great signings from Wigan in Gary Stephens, Mick Scott, Brian Juliff, Colin Whitfield, and one of the best players I've played with in John Pendlebury," McCallion added.
"What a player. I think having all those plus young lads like Paul Dixon, brought that mixture of youth and experience which added to Chris [Anderson]'s basic game plan, it brought a great combination."
Fax pipped Wigan by a point to win their 1986 title, a success that prompted a week off work to celebrate for McCallion and his team-mates.
It was a far different time for the 'professionals' of rugby league, whose time on the pitch amounted to little more than an extremely privileged hobby.
"You just got your match fees and bonuses," he recalls. "At the time I was a maintenance engineer, and I lost my job. It was the 1980s, there weren't many jobs so I ended up working at Ben Shaw's pop factory for a year.
"The only good thing about it was - apart from having a great laugh, I had fun there - the physical work of lifting crates and loading wagons and going down cellar steps was like a massive training session. I haven't been as fit ever in my life."
While the Super League Grand Final has arguably wrestled the attention of the public away from the Challenge Cup final, in 1987 - it was still the main event.
Anderson's team started out on their road to Wembley with a trip to Fulham, a "lucky" success as remembered by McCallion, and passed Hunslet, Hull KR and Widnes to set up a showpiece final with St Helens.
The trip down to London was an experience, as was the preparation for the game.
"Once we eliminated Widnes, Saints were in our path and we just thought - let's go for it," McCallion said. "Even the night before, some players had more beer than others and that was the night before the game.
"It's quite incredible that you can do that, but you can't turn around to Graham Eadie, who liked a beer, who's been a legend of the game in Australia, and here, and say 'I don't want you to have any beer tonight - before this final', when he's done that all his life. Why change anything? He had his beers."
The walk out of the tunnel is often the most vivid memory for most players, whether winners or losers at the national stadium, where sight, sound and smell senses are all bombarded.
"Mick Scott had already been there with Wigan and he said: 'Take everything in'. So I thought 'right, I'm going to enjoy this'," McCallion added. "I went out and the roar was deafening. I knew where my family were, they had banners and flags and scarves, so I waved to them. It was fantastic.
"Then we were standing there waiting for the Duke of Edinburgh to come out, but as soon as the whistle goes, you could be at Thrum Hall. You could be anywhere. I've never played on anything as good as that. It was like a carpet. That particular year it was prime. It was beautiful."
That finely-tended patch of grass provided the Belfast-born hooker with perhaps his most famous moment in rugby league, crashing over to score the second try for Fax after Wilf George had crossed for the first.
"My children take the mickey out of me, saying 'Oh yeah, you scored a try'," he quipped. "I say, 'Yeah, I beat about four people, down the wing, side-stepped inside...' Ha. I actually was a metre out on the fifth tackle, they expected the ball to go out and I should have passed really.
"But, I knew I could get through because that's my distance. I'm proud I'm from Ireland, I think I'm the only Irishman to score a try in a Wembley Challenge Cup final. So I'm very proud."
Despite a third Fax try from Eadie and a Pendlebury drop goal giving the Blue and Whites a cushion, St Helens' late fightback almost denied them their first cup since 1939.
Mark Elia had already scored one, followed by Great Britain centre Paul Loughlin and Paul Round who crossed to bring the Red Vee within a point.
With time running out, New Zealand three-quarter Elia found the line beckoning for a second try that would have won it.
"John Pendlebury knocked the ball out of Mark's hand. that's how good the guy is," McCallion said. "Elia was going over the line to score, and he can score with his full body weight diving, but John launched himself and punched the ball out of his hand.
"Him saving that try is the biggest thing which sticks in my mind, and he also got the drop goal. So he should have been man of the match.
"To have a bloke like that in your side, he was only about 12 and a half stone, but he would throw his body into every tackle, he could offload, everything in the game a player needs and a super bloke as well."
There was another positive offshoot to the 19-18 win for McCallion on a personal level.
"After the win, I left Ben Shaw's and didn't go back to work," he said. "I thought stuff that, I'm going to have a week off to celebrate.
"I took the trophy down to where I used to work at the Yorkshire Water Authority, and they said there's a job going. So as it happens I got my old job back. It was meant to be."
Having gone 31 years without a Wembley appearance, Halifax managed to make it two trips to Wembley in as many years, returning as holders the following season where they met the full force of an expensively-recruited Wigan side.
Defeat brought to an end the short, glorious period of success for the now-Championship club, and two years later relegation and financial difficulties had set in. It was fun while it lasted though for those involved.
"I still think we could have beaten them but we lost our main kingpin when Les Holliday ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, and he was carried off after 10 minutes," McCallion recalled.
"The fact I won one softens it a bit, but at the time I was very, very disappointed.
"It was just good to be there to be honest, Wigan were full time, we were working and playing, and they were all internationals. The cream of the crop. We didn't do too bad."
She is believed to be one of five people the UK National Crime Agency said it had arrested, but did not name, as part of an investigation into suspected bribery and money laundering.
Ms Alison-Madueke was oil minister between 2010 and 2015.
She denied wrongdoing when it was alleged that $20bn of oil money had gone missing when she was in office.
That accusation was made by Nigeria's central bank governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in February 2014. Mr Sanusi was sacked soon after, accused of financial recklessness himself.
But it was one of a number of corruption allegations that dogged the presidency of Goodluck Jonathan, in whose administration Ms Alison-Madueke served.
The National Crime Agency said on its website only that its "recently formed International Corruption Unit has arrested five people across London as part of an investigation into suspected bribery and money laundering offences".
The identities and nationalities of these people were not disclosed, but family members of Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke confirmed that she had been arrested in London, Mansur Liman, editor of the BBC's Hausa Service, reports.
Recently, new Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari vowed to trace and recover what he called the "mindboggling" sums that have been stolen from the oil sector. He also promised to prosecute those responsible. | A crash involving a lorry and four cars shut a section of the M1 motorway and caused long delays for motorists.

Hampshire County Council is consulting over plans to merge Fort Hill Community School in Basingstoke with Cranbourne Business and Enterprise College.
The authority said just 39 parents picked Fort Hill as a first choice for their children in September 2017 out of a possible 145 pupil places.
Critics said the council should help the school improve instead of close it.
Hampshire County Council has already announced separate plans to build a new secondary school at the Manydown development, which is near Fort Hill, where a further 4,000 homes are planned.
Campaigner Deborah Chowney said: "I think this is about them not being able to get this school to where it should be.
"Fort Hill requires improvement and Cranbourne is inadequate, says Ofsted. You're not going to send your child to a school that's struggling."
Basingstoke and Deane borough councillor Paul Harvey, Labour, said more than 1,000 people had so far signed a petition to save the school, which has space for 750 pupils.
He said: "The county council needs to be supporting the school to become the school we all want it to be."
Stephen Reid, Conservative county councillor for Basingstoke North West, said: "It's not the county council that's proposing to do this - the governing body which runs Cranbourne and Fort Hill has instigated this consultation.
"It's very sad but I can understand the governors are taking this route because, if the parents are voting with their children's feet and only having 39 registering for next September, it would be impossible for a secondary school to attract the teachers and the quality of education that it wants.
"We have to provide a quality education locally that people want and I think the best way to do that is the new school at Manydown." | Parents and councillors have come out in support of a comprehensive school earmarked for closure. | 38,716,594 | 389 | 22 | false |
By the time he first appeared in the role he had already carved out a distinguished career in the theatre and on television.
His role as the flat-capped philosopher made him the longest-serving cast member of the much-loved series.
And he reached an even wider audience as the voice of Wallace, the cheese-loving character in the animated series, Wallace and Gromit.
Peter Sallis was born on 1 February 1921 in Twickenham, Middlesex.
After attending Minchenden Grammar School in Southgate, north London, where the family had moved, he emulated his father and went to work in a bank.
The acting bug first struck during his wartime service in the RAF, when he was asked to play the lead role in an amateur production of Noel Coward's play Hay Fever.
"Acting is a matter of instinct," he later said when appearing on Desert Island Discs. "As soon as I was on the stage I just felt so at home."
When hostilities ceased he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada).
His first professional appearance came in 1946 and for the next six decades he was rarely out of work.
Throughout the 1950s he made a name for himself as a reliable character actor playing everything from Shakespeare to Chekhov.
His first play with a star cast was a production of Three Sisters, where he appeared alongside Ralph Richardson and Celia Johnson.
He had film roles in Anastasia, The VIPs and Wuthering Heights, but it was for his television work that he was better known.
He had already acted in two TV plays by writer Roy Clarke, in one playing a transvestite, before landing the role of Clegg in a Comedy Playhouse episode entitled Of Funerals and Fish.
This was successful enough for the BBC to commission a series with the revised title Last of the Summer Wine.
Surprisingly, given its later success, the first series was not well received by either audiences or critics.
Sallis recalled that filming of the early episodes was enlivened by off-screen arguments between his fellow actors Michael Bates and Bill Owen.
"Michael Bates was somewhere to the right of Margaret Thatcher," he said. "And Bill Owen was somewhere to the left of Lenin. It was all incomprehensible to me as I'd never had a political thought in my life."
The series sparked an appreciation society and a deluge of tourists to the Yorkshire village where it was filmed.
Sallis said, "You would not find me getting up to anything crazy that Clegg gets up to, but I have been very lucky to be a part of it all."
As well as Summer Wine, Sallis appeared in the Pallisers and The Diary of Samuel Pepys. In addition, he wrote a stage play, End of Term, and also a handful of radio plays.
Despite calling himself "only mildly well-known", after 30 years of playing Clegg, Sallis's face was one of the most familiar on British television.
And in 1992 his voice became recognisable across the world, when his distinctive tones graced the character of Wallace in Nick Park's celebrated animation films.
As one half of Wallace and Gromit, he appeared in such modern classics as The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave.
Asked for the inspiration behind Wallace, Nick Park called Sallis his automatic choice and explained how the actor had even helped influence the character's face.
He said: "There was something about his voice that somehow insisted I make Wallace's mouth really wide to get it around the syllables."
Peter Sallis considered himself very fortunate to be in the hands of talented scriptwriters.
But his own gentle manner and natural timing certainly helped create comic characters of enduring and wide-ranging appeal.
It was with the mild-mannered Clegg that he felt most at home.
"I am like him in many ways. I am fairly retiring and do not like to be the centre of attention. I think I'm well cast."

Mariusz Winiarski, 35, attacked Brian Stirling in King Street, Bathgate, on 17 December last year.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Mr Stirling (54) had been holding the woman's handbag before Winiarski attacked him.
Lord Burns, deferred sentence until May and remanded Winiarski in custody.
Defence counsel John Scullion said Winiarski, who had been drinking, saw the victim looking into the handbag.
He said: "His initial reaction was the deceased was stealing from her. He accepts the conclusion he reached was entirely wrong and he accepts his reason in punching Mr Stirling cannot be justified."
He added: "He accepts full responsibility for the tragic consequences of his actions."
Winiarski was originally charged with murdering Mr Stirling, but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of culpable homicide.
He admitted assaulting and killing Mr Stirling, formerly from Bathgate, by punching him on the head, causing him to fall to the ground where the victim struck his head. Mr Stirling later died of his injuries.
The Polish national, who worked as a driver, also admitted assaulting Mr Stirling's friend Robert Parker by punching him on the head outside Dreadnought nightclub in Bathgate.
Advocate depute Lynsey MacDonald said Winiarski did not know either of the men that he attacked.
The defence counsel said that although it was a case in which a prison term was "almost inevitable" a background report would be required on the first offender before sentencing.
A conversation with a prison inmate about football led James Almond to break the law himself.
The then prison worker was chatting about his favourite team Manchester United, when the prisoner he was speaking to suddenly asked him to bring in mobile phones, which are banned behind bars.
"He kept asking daily, and become aggressive with things he'd say," Almond says.
This was in 2014 when he was employed at Stocken Prison in Rutland.
The 33-year-old eventually agreed to bring phones in, and did so for a number of weeks before being caught, ending up in jail himself.
He's now telling his story so others can understand the pressure he came under from the prisoner and how unprepared he was for dealing with it.
His case highlights the problem of staff corruption in prisons in England and Wales, a problem some believe is being swept under the carpet.
While there's broad agreement that the vast majority of prison staff conduct themselves with integrity and professionalism, a small number act corruptly - and their actions can have a disproportionate effect on stability and safety.
One well-informed source with extensive knowledge of the prison system told BBC Radio 4's File on 4 there was a working assumption that between three and five staff in every jail were corrupt, which equates to around 600 across England and Wales.
Out of some 33,000 prison officers and staff that's still a minority, but a not insignificant one.
Mobile phones in prisons: Why are they still there?
What is going wrong with the prison system?
James Almond never expected to be in that minority when he started working at HMP Stocken, which holds around 670 male offenders, many serving sentences for violence.
But his job as an operational support grade worker escorting building contractors in the prison developed. Before long he was out of his depth - having daily contact with prisoners, a role for which he claims he'd had no training.
"I did feel fairly vulnerable in the role, especially because at the time I was suffering heavily with depression after my father passed away.
"And that is the kind of thing these prisoners pick up on quite easily," he says.
One particularly manipulative inmate, with whom Almond had begun discussing football, took advantage - threatening to harm his young relatives if he didn't comply.
"He really scared me with those threats, especially when he said 'I know about your niece and nephew'.
"This gentleman was in prison for armed robbery. I didn't know what he was capable of."
The demands and threats wore Almond down and eventually he agreed to bring in a phone.
Mobiles are a valuable commodity, because they enable prisoners to keep in touch with their family and contact criminals on the outside - and calls are not monitored like the prison pay phones are.
Almond took part in four smuggling missions, collecting a package in a carrier bag from a stranger in a car park, slipping the parcel into his gym bag, then walking through the gates at Stocken.
"I was trying to just play it nice and cool," he says.
He says he never looked inside the packages, but it's thought they may also have contained drugs such as the potent synthetic cannabis substitute, Spice.
"It was a calculated risk that wasn't the day they decided... to do a staff search," he says, claiming he was never searched during his six months working there.
He received £500 for each parcel, double his weekly take-home pay, and acknowledges that as well as acting out of fear of the prisoner, the money was also "an incentive".
John Podmore, who spent 25 years in the prison service - including a stint as head of the anti-corruption unit - believes low pay and a lack of adequate training are two key factors driving staff to bring in contraband.
He says corruption is an "inconvenient truth" which has far more of an impact than the well-publicised problem of drones, which deliver packages to prison cell windows or drop them inside perimeter walls.
"One prison officer bringing in one coffee jar full of Spice or cannabis can keep that jail going for a very long period of time and make an awful lot of money," he says.
"There is a disproportionate effect by this small minority of staff and that's what needs to be understood."

Officer at Maghaberry Prison injured in attack
A number of former prisoners I spoke to agreed that while drugs and phones are thrown over walls, brought in by visitors or sent through the post, corruption is a major source as well.
One man knew of a prison officer who brought in drugs in empty tubs of Pringles crisps. Another former inmate said staff had taken parcels directly from the post room to a prisoner without them being scanned.
And several ex-prisoners said some officers turned a "blind eye" to drug-dealing and drug-taking.
"If you're doing a very, very long time and you're not going nowhere, it would be prudent to just leave you alone, and that's the kind of stance they took for a long while," says Leroy Smith.
He spent the best part of two decades in prison for the attempted murder of two policemen in 1994.
"The doors would be left open and everything was relaxed and people would just do whatever they wished within reason inside the jail."
Smith, who was eventually released in 2014 and has now written a book about his experiences, says corrupt staff didn't bring in drugs often, but when they did it had a profound effect.
"In five years you might have three times when it happens, but when it happens it's big because the whole place is saturated because it is just continuous - everyday they are just bringing it and bringing it and bringing it," he says.
The Ministry of Justice, which is responsible for prisons in England and Wales, says it remains "vigilant" to the threat posed by corruption and takes "swift action" against those involved.
The department is investing £3m in a new intelligence unit, developing a corruption strategy and considering introducing a prison-specific offence of corruption.
Jerry Petherick, one of the country's most experienced prison managers who worked in the public sector for 23 years before joining the private company G4S more than a decade ago, says they do their "damnedest" to catch corrupt staff.
He once sparked an investigation after spotting an expensive car parked outside a prison - it belonged to a member of staff, who turned out to be corrupt.
"It may seem strange for me to say that we actually celebrate those successes," says Mr Petherick, who believes the publicity acts as a deterrent.
"The vast majority of staff do not want to be associated with, do not want to work alongside corrupt members of staff because it puts their safety at risk," he says.
Almond accepts that his actions could have put staff at Stocken Prison at risk.
He was given a 12-month jail sentence for bringing in the phones. After being released early, probation staff helped him find a new job, in a factory.
Almond says the Prison Service should improve training for staff so they're better able to handle manipulative prisoners, but accepts he must take most of the blame for what he did, and it could have been much worse.
"It did occur to me that this was enabling the prisoner... to carry on with their, maybe, drug enterprises on the outside, getting drugs into the prison, and being able to organise a riot or things like that," says Almond.
"It could have resulted in injuries to a lot of staff."

Their findings, published in Nature Geoscience, show how climate change can cause surprising geological events.
The Slims River once flowed out to the Bering Sea, but now it flows into the Kaskawulsh River instead.
This phenomenon, known as "river piracy", typically takes centuries but the study documented it over the course of one spring.
"Nobody's ever seen a river piracy occur in modern times, at least to my knowledge," lead author Dan Shugar told the BBC.
The geoscientist at the University of Washington Tacoma says he and six researchers from Canadian and American universities had planned to study the Slims River last summer.
But when they arrived in the Yukon it was barely flowing. They discovered that a small channel had eroded in a large glacier that fed a number of small lakes.
The glacial lakes used to feed two river systems - the Slims River and the Kaskawulsh River - but when water from one lake poured through the channel into another, it cut the Slims off from its water source.
The event is known as river piracy or stream capture, and can take thousands of years. But the researchers documented the piracy of the Slims River in just one spring.
Prof Shugar said his colleague, John Clague, at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, had predicted this event just a decade before because of the area's unique geological formation. But no one knew when or how quickly the stream capture would occur.
River gauges show an abrupt four-day drop in late May 2016, which then continued over the summer, the study found.
By the time Prof Shugar and his associates got there, the Slims was basically "a long, skinny lake".
"The Slims River was essentially cut off from how it was flowing before," he said.
The change in the river's flow affected the whole landscape. Sheep are now grazing on the exposed river bank, while other rivers in the area are running high. Fish population, wildlife and lake chemistry will continue to be affected, the study noted.
In the big picture, Prof Shugar said, the piracy of the Slims is a reminder that climate change "may bring surprises that we are not appreciating fully and that we're not necessarily prepared for".
Instead of the normal teeth grinding and forking out the extortionate cost of a paper ticket, she informed me nonchalantly that she'd use her bank card.
Now I am (allegedly) meant to know about these things but I admit that it had never occurred to me at that moment that a contactless card could save us a few quid.
That was it. Tap in tap out. No bother, extremely convenient and something that makes the Oyster card and cash completely redundant.
Of course, phasing out Oyster cards and cash is not Transport for London's (TfL) plan (yet) but the latest figures show contactless payments on transport are increasing.
Currently one million contactless taps are made each day on London's transport network which TfL claims makes it the fastest growing contactless merchant in Europe after just six months.
Oyster has been a huge success story for London but the system costs TfL millions a year to administer, while the contactless payment system is run by the banks.
In fact, it is actually more beneficial to use contactless than Oyster.
If you are a commuter there is a weekly cap with payments subject to daily capping - when travellers taking multiple journeys will not pay more than the cost of a Day Travelcard - or there's a Monday-to-Sunday cap with the best value over the course of the week.
Labour on the London Assembly believes that contravenes promises that Oyster would always be the cheapest fare.
Val Shawcross said: "What contactless shouldn't become is a stealth attempt to push people away from Oyster cards by reserving the best fares for contactless."
TfL has said it is looking at an automatic weekly cap for Oyster but the technology is not as advanced as that on contactless cards.
What is also interesting is how these payments on transport seem to be driving the rest of the market.
Scott Abrahams from MasterCard said: "This milestone for TfL shows just how quickly consumers have taken to contactless in London.
"This extraordinary take-up is having a halo effect on other businesses in the UK who accept contactless payments."
With new innovations there are glitches - contactless cards and Oyster cards in the same wallet or purse can cause 'card clash' when the system recognises an entry or exit on different cards and can result in charging you the maximum fare.
TfL said: "In November there were 1,564 instances each weekday where customers may have accidentally paid with a contactless payment card they did not intend to pay with, our most recent figures from the end of February show at 1,235 per day, showing a steady decline."
County led for a minute before conceding twice in four minutes to lose 2-1 and extend their winless streak to six matches in the league.
The Rams are in the bottom three, one point above bottom side Wigan, with just one league win all season.
"In the first half we looked as though we were paralysed with fear," Pearson told BBC Radio Derby.
"We have a group which undoubtedly at the moment are not living up to the expectations externally, certainly not living up to the expectations internally and that's my responsibility because I'm the manager," added former Leicester City manager Pearson, who took over at the iPro Stadium in the summer.
"If we don't get the basics out there and we don't get the level of commitment to the game out there, it remains a very tough ask of us to get the performances which warrant points.
"Given what happened, we are exactly where we should be in the league. We got what we deserved and that's the bottom line."
Pearson continued: "I can't keep hoping that players are going to bring their best games to the table week in week out, and then not do it, so I might have to start making changes.
"If that means introducing some of the younger players then so be it, but ultimately it's about getting a team on the field that want to play for us, want to show the levels of commitment and are prepared to go whatever distance it takes to get the result."
Former Leeds United captain Sol Bamba has been training with Derby.
The 31-year-old Ivorian is a free agent after leaving Leeds for personal reasons before the closure of the transfer window in August.
Bamba played for Pearson when the pair were at Leicester City, but the Rams boss says there has yet to be any talks over a possible contract.
"I don't think it's something to discuss openly when it's not been discussed internally," he said.
"I've worked with him before and he's been happy to come in and train with us, so we'll leave it at that."

A passenger who uploaded video of the aftermath of the incident said a mother had been struck with the pram as it was forcibly removed by the employee.
The video shows the employee saying, "Hit me! Come on, bring it on!", when challenged by another male passenger.
American Airlines said it was "deeply sorry for the pain we have caused" the woman passenger and her family.
The incident follows another high-profile clash on a United Airlines plane two weeks ago, when a passenger was violently removed from an overbooked flight.
The American Airlines incident took place at San Francisco International Airport as flight 591 prepared to take off for Dallas/Fort Worth.
Passenger Surain Adyanthaya, who posted the video to Facebook, said that preceding the footage the employee had "violently" taken the pram from the mother, hitting her and narrowly missing her baby.
The footage shows the mother clearly distraught as other employees and passengers try to intervene.
One male passenger demands the name of the employee involved and when a man dressed in American Airlines uniform enters the plane, the passenger tells him: "Hey, bud, you do that to me and I'll knock you flat."
The employee confronts the passenger, telling him to "stay out of this", then saying: "Hit me! Come on, bring it on."
He adds: "You don't even know what the story is."
The passenger replies: "I don't care what the story is. You almost hurt a baby."
In its statement, American Airlines said: "What we see on this video does not reflect our values or how we care for our customers. We are deeply sorry for the pain we have caused this passenger and her family and to any other customers affected by the incident."
It said it was "making sure all of her family's needs are being met while she is in our care".
The airline upgraded the woman and her family to first class when she took another flight to Dallas.
"The actions of our team member captured here do not appear to reflect patience or empathy, two values necessary for customer care. In short, we are disappointed by these actions," the airline said.
A statement from the Association of Professional Flight Attendants stressed that all passengers deserve to be treated with respect, but warned against rushing to judgement before the full facts were known.
The UN Budget Committee recognised gay spouses, regardless of whether or not gay marriage is legal in their country of origin.
Previously, the UN followed national legislation on the issue.
The vote went 80 to 43 against Russia's resolution, which had backing from China, India and Muslim countries.
EU member states and the US lobbied hard against the resolution and for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's plan to include gay couples in the staff benefits scheme.
Speaking after the vote, US Ambassador Samantha Power said: "We must speak plainly about what Russia tried to do today: diminish the authority of the UN secretary general and export to the UN its domestic hostility to LGBT rights" - referring to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
Earlier, Russia's deputy UN ambassador Petr Iliichev said the UN should return to how the issue was previously regulated, calling it "an example of how the United Nations respects cultural differences, the sovereign right of each and every state to determine its norms".
Russia drew international criticism in 2013 when it banned the spreading of gay "propaganda" among teenagers.
Conservative national traditions are already recognised under UN staff rules, as UN diplomats from countries where polygamy is legal receive spouse benefits for up to four wives.
The scheme works by exploiting the government's Employment Allowance.
The scam could deprive the Treasury of tens of millions of pounds of National Insurance payments.
Anderson Group says that all of its services are fully compliant with UK tax laws.
It says it is "totally incorrect" to say that Anderson Group is promoting the scheme and says it is a product being offered by one of its clients.
Anderson Group, which calls itself the UK's "leading provider of support services to the recruitment industry" has hundreds of agencies and thousands of contractors on its books.
The tax avoidance scheme works by exploiting the government's Employment Allowance which was introduced last year.
The allowance enables companies to claim £2,000 off their annual employers' National Insurance bill and was meant to encourage small businesses to take on more workers.
The BBC secretly recorded Anderson Group's sales manager, Ian Moran, promoting the tax avoidance scheme to a recruitment agency.
The agency he was pitching to employs 300 workers, many of whom work in low paid jobs in warehouses or as labourers.
Mr Moran suggested that if the recruitment agency were to set up more than 100 limited companies with a couple of workers in each of them, each company could then claim the £2,000 allowance.
By Mr Moran's calculations the agency's National Insurance bill would then fall from £300,000 a year to zero.
Mr Moran suggested the recruitment agency, which has no intention of using the scheme, might like to spend the £300,000 on Bentleys and ski chalets.
The ''job's a good'un,'' he said.
Mr Moran told the recruitment agency that 10,000 workers were now being employed through these companies, and the goal was to increase that to 20,000.
If National Insurance was avoided on every worker, HMRC could lose £20m in National Insurance contributions.
At the meeting, Mr Moran admitted that the Employment Allowance was being misused: ''It wasn't intended to be used exactly like this,'' he said.
''Let's be straight, but they set the rules, we'll build a product."
Robin Williamson, head of the low incomes tax reform group at the Chartered Institute of Taxation, has called the scheme "highly aggressive" and "abusive".
He says it drives a coach and horse through the legislation: ''To use the colloquial - they are having a laugh."
The Employment Allowance legislation makes it clear that artificially created companies cannot claim the allowance.
The BBC found on the Companies House website more than two thousand limited companies created by those behind the tax avoidance scheme.
"Schemes like this don't work and anyone thinking of using it should think again," Jennie Granger, head of compliance at HMRC told the BBC.
"Failing to disclose an attempted avoidance scheme is punishable by a fine of up to £1m," she added.
HMRC has promised to "pursue users and promoters" of the scheme.
Tax expert and financial reform campaigner Richard Murphy thinks the scheme's promoters are banking on the idea that by the time HMRC catch up with them, there'll be no money to recover.
'"What they'll say is: well, there's no money in any of these companies, they're all empty shells, therefore, you can sue us, you can put us in to liquidation, but they'll be nothing for you to have,'' he said.
Mr Murphy believes it's time to consider whether there should be a penalty on the directors of limited companies set up for the purposes of abusing the tax system.
None of the tax experts the BBC spoke to were surprised that this scheme was operating within the recruitment industry.
For years this sector has been dogged by allegations of tax avoidance and exploitation of low paid workers. The Treasury is consulting on ways to clean up the sector's shady practices.
Speaking on the Today programme about the UK tax industry, former chair of the Public Accounts Committee Margaret Hodge said: "There are hundreds of people advising on how you could exploit the system, some of them used to worked for the government, and we need to crack down on those advisors.
"We have a ridiculously complex tax scheme with over 1,100 tax relief schemes. I think we should simplify the system.
"In 2010 the government said they'd simplify the tax system, but we ended up with 100 more tax relief schemes than we went in with."
She added that it was worth investing in HMRC because every pound invested in it brought in about £9 in recovered tax.
The 26-year-old Scot missed out on a medal by 1.5 seconds after working his way through the elite field in Lahti, Finland.
The race was won by Canadian Alex Harvey in 1:46:28.9.
Russia's Sergey Ustiugov took silver, with Finland's Matti Heikkinen third.
He said: "I am pretty happy, it was a good race, but at the same time I am a little bit disappointed that I didn't have a stronger finish and get onto the podium.
"I have got stronger in every race I have done and I have never done so well in a 50km so it is awesome.
"I have a lot of confidence going into the next World Cup and hopefully I can pull out a few more good races."
It was a tremendous performance by Musgrave, whose previous best result was sixth in a World Cup 15km.
Elsewhere at the 2017 World Championships, he finished 12th in the 15km Classic and 11th in the 30km skiathlon.
No politician wants to look as though they are overly interested in how they dress.
"You'll see I wear only grey or blue suits," President Barack Obama once said.
"I'm trying to pare down decisions. I don't want to make decisions about what I'm eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make."
And few voters would want to admit that politicians' clothes have much of an influence over how we vote.
The problem is, experts tell us, that with the clothes we wear we are constantly giving off and receiving signals - whether we are conscious of it or not.
'Speed, modernity'
Theresa May, a self-proclaimed lover of fashion, has had a long while to hone her choices while in the public eye - and to understand what messages she is conveying.
Her clothes have been a subject of hot debate for at least 15 years, when she caused a furore by wearing a pair of leopard-print kitten heels to deliver a Conservative Party conference speech.
On the campaign trail, notes Dr Vanessa Brown, senior lecturer in design, culture and context at Nottingham Trent University, Mrs May tends towards, to coin a phrase, a "strong and stable" wardrobe.
It does not follow fashion too frivolously and suggests a woman who is in control and making rational choices - yet with a flash of "trying to connect through fashion".
She sometimes wears diagonal lines, which can denote "speed, modernity, looking forward" and is a fan of quite structured tailoring, allowing for some movement when interacting with the public and pounding the streets.
It's a style that's easier to wear than body-skimming clothing, without looking "fussy" or "soft".
What about the famous shoes? Will we be seeing some flamboyance there?
Possibly, says Dr Brown, though noting that Mrs May's famous flashes of fun in her wardrobe are only "allowing that level of frivolity as far from her head as she could make it".
Jeremy Corbyn has also come under scrutiny for years over what he wears - although for slightly different reasons.
Way back in 1984 he was being given a dressing down on BBC television for "scruffy dress" - which he responded to while wearing a jumper knitted by his mother and criticising Tory MPs for voting in "dinner jackets".
Despite having so far worn thoroughly respectable suits while campaigning, the "scruffy" tag continues to haunt him.
One voter told a Daily Politics vox pop in Derby this month that Mr Corbyn looked like he'd "come out the back garden", comparing him unfavourably with David Cameron, who was "smart".
"I'm not saying I wouldn't vote Labour, but that has a big influence," said the voter.
On the other hand, Mr Corbyn's clothes seem to appeal to parts of the electorate. Pop culture site Konbini recently ran a piece on how to look like him, with tributes to his oversized blazers, Breton caps and "bicycle chic".
For politicians, you can't appeal to every single voter - so perhaps the important thing is to be "authentic". If you look like your natural self, Dr Brown says, people will find you more likeable, and in turn more believable.
Mr Corbyn, she said, could perhaps "sharpen it up" a bit to make his look "a little more intentional" - and Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, who is similarly normally seen in a suit, with or without a tie - could also "get away with a bit more".
Mr Farron looks "exactly what he is", she notes, so presumably would score highly on any authenticity index - but could perhaps play up any subversive side if he wanted to be more noticeable.
He is reported to wear Dr Martens every day, with the Mirror at one point saying they "almost suggest this man has flair, personality... hobbies".
Mr Farron could perhaps, if that was the way he wanted to go, play up his reported musical roots.
He told the Huffington Post in 2015 that in the late 1980s he had fronted a band "written off as a fourth-rate New Order" , and told Total Politics that he was "once nearly a pop star" - explaining that his band got offered a recording session with Island Records, but didn't do it.
On the campaign trail he has so far not caused a particular stir, sartorially - although he did get his pictures in a lot of media outlets when he boarded a hovercraft in Burnham-on-Sea, clad in a lot of safety gear.
Politicians on the campaign trail do try to signal connectedness with voters by dressing according to their surroundings - for instance by dressing down if they are visiting a refuge or charity centre.
Or think David Cameron wearing casualwear while playing with a lamb during a campaign visit in his Witney constituency in 2015.
But go too far, it seems, and you will lose that sense of your authentic self - politicians still wince at William Hague's baseball cap, and that was from way back in 1997.
The scrutiny
But what about the formal events - the podiums and set-piece interviews?
What is often overlooked is how clothes make you feel, Dr Brown says.
Suits, with their structured tailoring, provide an impermeable smooth "outer casing" - a harder surface which can make you feel stronger and more in control.
That's why tailoring and monochrome colours are so popular - they not only don't look like you're fussing - they literally make you feel more invulnerable.
Although men are also increasingly under scrutiny for how they look, it is still women's clothes that are really picked on and pored over.
An enormous amount has been written about SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon's clothes in the last couple of years - the Daily Mail's recent "Legs-it!" front page, comparing the legs of the prime minister and Scottish first minister while they were meeting to discuss Brexit and a second Scottish referendum, being a case in point.
Ms Sturgeon - who, like Theresa May, has appeared in Vogue and does say she is interested in fashion - has said she is conflicted by the scrutiny she comes under and that there is too much focus on what women wear.
"I do have a concern that for women, if women politicians - prime ministers, first ministers, are always reduced to how they look, and what they wear, and their legs, then we're saying something that we probably shouldn't be saying about the status of women," she recently told BBC Breakfast.
"So I think that focus on appearance is probably something we should try to move away from."
Perhaps that scrutiny partly influences her and other women politicians' fondness for single-colour suits and tailored dresses.
Minimalism, says Dr Brown, tends to appeal to politicians. All the scrutiny can lead to quite similar wardrobes of plain styles - because the more you experiment, "the more potential mistakes, more for people to talk about".
"So a shift dress is where you end up".
'He's wearing clothes'
It's almost enough to make you feel sorry for politicians - having to convey, through their outfits, all these messages about control, intelligence, entitlement to power, authenticity - while still trying to make people want to vote for them.
And you can't really say it doesn't matter because, as Dr Brown says, often for politicians a few words and their appearance are more significant than the depth of what they might say.
Most of us don't engage very deeply in the detail of political offerings - "so what else are people going on?"
But of course, not everybody goes in for the idea that clothes are a set of signifiers, sending off complex unconscious messages.
UKIP leader Paul Nuttall, for instance, has been notable for wearing a lot of tweed - a hint, perhaps, of Britishness and a traditional lifestyle - although so far on this campaign trail he has mainly been photographed in a dark blue suit and tie.
Is there a particular message he is trying to convey through his clothes, BBC News asked?
"No," said UKIP head of press Gawain Towler.
"He's wearing clothes, because some suit the outside and some suit the inside, just like you and I would wear clothes."
Melanie Hartshorn, from Cramlington, has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which causes her skull to sink into her spine.
After almost £160,000 was raised for two operations, the 27-year-old is now able to sit up for about an hour a day.
She said the success of the procedures would now enable her to pursue a career as a teacher.
Surgeons in Barcelona operated for nine hours to fuse her skull to her spine last month.
Ms Hartshorn said: "It has just been incredible. I never thought I would be able to sit up. It was something I was never able to plan for.
"I had to have two operations. The first one was to put screws all the way down from my skull, right down my neck to keep all the bones in line and stop them from compressing my brain stem.
"The second operation to basically do that all down my back to my pelvis."
Ms Hartshorn said she was limited to about one hour a day in her wheelchair, but is hopeful that will increase with physiotherapy.
She added: "I really want to do teaching, go back to university and get my primary teaching qualifications.
"But the first thing is physio rehab, build up my sitting time and get an electric wheelchair.
"That will mean I can go out on my own and access the world again."
She also thanked those who had contributed to her fundraising campaign and who had "changed her life" for good.
One of African football's best-known figures, the ex-Super Eagles captain is one of only two men to win the Africa Cup of Nations as a player and a coach.
NFF president Amaju Pinnick: "This is devastating. We have lost a superhero."
Keshi, who is reported to have suffered a heart attack by local media. also managed Togo and Mali, while his playing career included a spell with Belgian club side Anderlecht.
Sunday Oliseh, a former team-mate and Keshi's successor as Nigeria coach, tweeted his shock at the "horrible news" and called Keshi "an iconic hero".
Keshi skippered the Nigeria team that won the Nations Cup in 1994 before narrowly missing out on a World Cup quarter-final place the same year.
He coached the Super Eagles on three occasions, leading them to the 2013 Nations Cup title in South Africa and the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup.
His contract was not renewed after the Brazil tournament but he returned on a match-by-match deal following the team's failure to reach the 2015 Nations Cup finals.
He was then sacked as caretaker coach but reinstated after intervention from then Nigeria president Goodluck Jonathan.
Keshi, who lost his wife to cancer late last year, was then sacked for a final time last July.

Dr McDaid has resigned his position on the grounds of ill health.
He has been a priest since 1968 and a bishop since 2010.
In a statement the Bishop of Down and Connor Noel Treanor said Dr McDaid "has served and supported his priests and all those entrusted to his care with a remarkable capacity for empathy and with a Christian heart".
"I wish Bishop Liam every happiness in his retirement and look forward to our continued friendship in the years ahead," he added.
According to a World Health Organization study, in Africa almost 97% of abortions are unsafe, putting women's health at risk.
It said developing countries, particularly those with more restrictive abortion laws, had the most cases of unsafe abortions.
Ms Ayimba told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme about her experiences and her work with women who seek counselling after having abortions.
I went through an unsafe abortion when I was about 20 years old.
I was afraid to go and tell my mother that I was pregnant. I was four months pregnant and decided to face her but on my way home I met a close family friend.
He said, "If you tell your mother you're pregnant, you're going to break her heart."
He said there was another option, another way out. I was very scared because I didn't know anything about abortion but he told me it was going to be OK and safe.
He looked for the money, because I didn't have any at that time, and paid a nurse who took me to a gynaecologist in Kisumu, and that's where the abortion was performed.
I was not put under any anaesthetic and on the abortion bed it was such a very painful experience - though it took place in a clinic.
After that I was given an injection and I slept for a while and then got up and went home. My life went back to normal but every once in a while I would have pains in my stomach. It would make me jerk with the pain - for more than a year.
The pains kept coming. At this time psychologically I felt I was not good enough for another man - in my mind I was thinking no man would want to marry a woman who has gone through an abortion.
So when I got into another relationship, it was with low self-esteem, looking for love and acceptance.
After that, I got pregnant again - I was a very naive person and did not know much about protection - and the one I knew about, the condom, I didn't like.
Because the first abortion had solved my problem, I went through a second abortion. It was the easier option: I didn't think twice about it.
I was able to do my exams, - at the college of my dreams. I didn't want my pregnancy to stop my career.
But after a few months of relief, I then went through a lot of psychological trauma - I was a very, very depressed person.
I would hit depression about two times in a month: I would really hate myself - I couldn't look myself in the mirror because I knew in my heart what I'd done was so wrong.
I was also very suicidal. In fact, twice I attempted suicide.
I was angry with myself, angry with the world, there was anger against the people who took you for the abortion.
There was bitterness and regret because when you're seeing other people's children, in your mind you're visualising how old your baby would have been and you really feel bad about it.
I have recovered because I have been through professional counselling.
I am now pro-life as a result of what I went through.
Kenya's constitution [adopted in 2010] now permits abortion if a woman is considered at risk, but the risk is debatable, allowing some to have abortions for reasons that are not medical.
I now counsel women who have had abortions. Many ladies who have come for the support groups have gone through the abortion knowing they want to solve the problem but later go through post-abortion syndrome and many complications that come after.
I once had a lady who went for an abortion in a proper clinic and after the procedure she thought that her womb was still there, only when she got married and tried to have babies she discovered she had no womb.
She traced back to the clinic and they told her: "Oh, there was a complication and we removed it, sorry we didn't tell you."
Another lady, two months after the abortion, she discovered that she had a spinal cord left in her womb.
The stories are so many - there are so many complications that come after an abortion, even if it's done in a proper clinic.
He is believed to have been walking along the carriageway at about 02:00 BST when he was hit by a car travelling northbound.
He was then struck by three other cars travelling southbound, police said.
The motorway was closed in both directions for several hours between Ramsbottom and Bury junctions but has now fully reopened.
Emergency services have been at the scene overnight and investigation work is being carried out.
Police said the victim had been identified and his family had been informed.
A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and remains in police custody.
Officers are appealing for witnesses and anyone with dash cam footage to contact them.
Local authorities recorded 4,236 data breaches during a three-year period from April 2011, a study by privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch said.
Its director Emma Carr said this showed "shockingly lax attitudes to protecting confidential information".
The Local Government Association said breaches were "proportionately rare" given the volume of data handled.
The report is based on responses to Freedom of Information requests sent to all local authorities in the UK.
Its findings include how:
Specific cases detailed included a social worker at Lewisham City Council leaving a bundle of papers on a train, which contained personal or sensitive data relating to 10 children.
Also, a CCTV operator at Cheshire East Council used cameras to watch part of the wedding of a fellow member of their team, while an employee at Thanet in Kent was dismissed after accessing benefit claim records "inappropriately".
Big Brother Watch is calling for custodial sentences for the most serious data breaches.
Ms Carr said: "Despite local councils being trusted with increasing amounts of our personal data, this report highlights that they are simply not able to say it is safe with them.
"A number of examples show shockingly lax attitudes to protecting confidential information. For so many children and young people to have had their personal information compromised is deeply disturbing.
"With only a tiny fraction of staff being disciplined or dismissed, this raises the question of how seriously local councils take protecting the privacy of the public."

Big Brother Watch said 167 town halls reported no data breaches at all over the period under scrutiny.
A spokesman for the Local Government Association said: "Councils take data protection extremely seriously and staff are given ongoing training in handling confidential data.
"When [breaches] do occur, robust investigations and reviews are immediately undertaken to ensure processes are tightened."
John Swinney has done what he had signalled, and kept the first year of a Scottish Rate of Income Tax at the same level chosen at Westminster.
It was a safe centrepiece to a cautious, pre-election draft budget, signalling priority areas for the SNP re-election campaign - housing and childcare to the fore, with innovation and digital investment for the economy.
The allocation put in place defensive measures to fend off opposition attacks on the Scottish government's performance, notably on policing and college funding.
And it took the safe option of continuing to freeze council tax, for a ninth year, but by so doing, John Swinney increased the strength of case for reform of local taxation.
So no big deal on tax? Well, not quite. The nature of Holyrood politics has started to change fundamentally.
Whereas MSPs have 16 years of experience of distributing a block grant and balancing the books, they have ventured into riskier waters.
They now have the powers to alter income tax, and are on course to get much more substantial powers still. And they have to set a rate. Even if there's no change, it's a choice.
The democratic view of this is that it makes MSPs accountable for the money they raise.
One economic view is that they now have to learn how the use of tax powers can have unintended consequences.
Tax changes create incentives to change behaviour. Take, for instance, the new and devolved tax to replace Stamp Duty - the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax.
For its introduction last April, John Swinney did something unusual - he shifted the tax burden from buyers of cheap houses to buyers of expensive ones.
It was a clear choice for a more progressive tax, with 7% of transactions leaving the buyer worse off than under Stamp Duty.
George Osborne followed the new design of transaction levy - though with a less progressive range of rates.
This showed that ideas can be pinched, and that two very similar countries are likely to find they adopt similar approaches to taxation, however much the rhetoric is about divergence.
That was underlined by the decision to increase the transactions tax on 'additional homes' - second homes, holiday homes and buy-to-let properties. George Osborne did it last month. John Swinney did it this month.
But LBTT has introduced a new dimension to life at Holyrood. If budgets are to be balanced, the tax revenue from such taxes can't veer too far off course.
Governments need an understanding of how much any tax or tax change could raise - and if that revenue isn't raised, they need the flexibility to borrow or find other ways of keeping a level playing field.
The Scottish Fiscal Commission has been set up, with the official role to provide assessments of the soundness of tax and spend forecasting.
While its report, published at the same time as the draft budget, said Mr Swinney's forecasts are "reasonable", it was less complimentary about the means used to get to them.
It detailed how the Scottish government needs to gain expertise, and data, with which to forecast more accurately.
That is after forecasts for LBTT revenue, in its first seven months, has come in £31m adrift from one set of Scottish government forecasts. There was a failure to judge correctly how much transactions for the most expensive property would be brought forward to avoid the new charge.
The commission said it was "increasingly concerned" about the absence of an understanding of how behaviour change can alter tax revenue, and that a great deal of work had to be done on the effect of the supplementary charge on the property market.
If MSPs are only now figuring out that transactions tax can change behaviour, they are going to have to get more robust, reliable data with which to model the impact of income tax.
Unlike property, taxable income is a lot easier to move to places where it will be taxed less. And given that there is a high reliance on top earners to pay Scotland's income tax - more than 20% of income tax contributed by the top 1% of earners - it is rather important that there is an understanding of what happens if you hit high earners with higher taxes.
The other key message from this budget is about public sector reform. We've heard lots about that, going back to pre-SNP days at St Andrew's House. The results have been patchy to disappointing.
John Swinney put fresh impetus into that. Once again, he wants councils to work more closely together and more efficiently. There was a hint that, if they do, the pain of their finance cut could be eased.
He wants more digital access to public services, and smarter procurement.
And he moved the focus on protecting the health service financially, to challenging it to change the way it works.
Such reform, he said, is at least as important as more money. And not reforming will undermine the ability of the NHS to meet rising demand from an ageing population, and rising expectations of what health technology can provide.
That could put MSPs into new territory of confronting the power of the public sector professions and of other vested interests.
It is another signal that governing is about a lot more than distributing cash and giving away free stuff.Scottish taxpayers will have an 'S' at the start of their tax code, but otherwise won't see much difference in their tax bills and pay slips.
The freshly drafted code aims to limit the viral spread of online abuse on social media.
It requires the firms to act quickly when told about hate speech and to do more to help combat illegal and xenophobic content.
The firms must also help "educate" users about acceptable behaviour.
The need for better ways to combat online hate speech had become more urgent in the wake of terror attacks in Belgium, said Vera Jourova, European Commissioner for Justice.
"Social media is unfortunately one of the tools that terrorist groups use to radicalise young people and racists use to spread violence and hatred," she said in a statement.
Hate speech and xenophobia also had a "chilling effect" on groups that sought to champion tolerance and non-discrimination, she said.
The agreement of the four web firms was an "important step forward" in making sure the net stayed a place where free expression was possible, Ms Jourova said.
A core part of the code is the requirement to remove hateful content within 24 hours of being properly notified about it.
The tech giants have also agreed to work more closely with groups that monitor and flag violent and hateful content. They will also develop and promote "counter narratives" to challenge those who post hate speech or illegal content.
Karen White, Twitter's head of public policy for Europe, said "hateful conduct" had no place on its network and added there was a "clear distinction between freedom of expression and conduct that incites violence and hate".
The code also requires the four firms to overhaul their notification systems to ensure people can quickly report inflammatory content when they find it.
The Commission will hold regular meetings with technology firms to monitor what effect the code of conduct is having. A preliminary assessment of its effectiveness will be drawn up for the Commission's high level group on combating racism and xenophobia by the end of 2016.
The code of conduct for net firms was one of several initiatives to tackle abuse online, the Commission said. Other work involves research to help ISPs assess information posted online and produce tools that can counter intolerance.
Root leads England for the four-match series after being named as Alastair Cook's successor five months ago.
"I'm really excited for what we could potentially be capable of in the future," the 26-year-old Yorkshire batsman told BBC Sport.
Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson retains his place in the side.
England, ranked fourth in the world, are looking to beat South Africa in a home Test series for the first time since 1998.
Former England batsman James Taylor, who retired from the sport in April 2016 because of a serious heart condition, will ring the bell to signal five minutes before the start of play.
The forecast is largely dry for the next five days, with temperatures in north London expected to reach 29C on Thursday.
Dawson, 27, who made his Test debut in India last year, has been picked ahead of Middlesex seamer Toby Roland-Jones.
With Dawson joining Moeen Ali, England will field two spinners in a Lord's Test for the first time since 1993.
"Liam's character is exceptional. I thought the way he bowled in India, and the way he's performed throughout this season, has been brilliant," said Root.
"When he came into the side he bowled with great control, he looked very at home in the environment and I think he'll complement the rest of our attack very well.
"Look at Moeen - he's one of our best batters, he's one of the best batters in the country, and his bowling can be an add-on to that, so he can be very aggressive when he gets the opportunity to bowl, so I think it's a very exciting team.
"I'm really looking forward to getting out there and getting stuck in."
The recalled Gary Ballance is set to bat at three, with Root at four and wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow at five.
Dawson, a right-handed batsman and left-arm spinner, made an unbeaten 66 on his Test debut in Chennai and will bat at number eight.
England XI: Alastair Cook (Essex), Keaton Jennings (Durham), Gary Ballance (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire, capt), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire, wk), Ben Stokes (Durham), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), James Anderson (Lancashire). Mark Wood (Durham),
South Africa (probable): Dean Elgar (capt), Heino Kuhn, Hashim Amla, JP Duminy, Temba Bavuma, Theunis de Bruyn, Quinton de Kock (wk), Vernon Philander, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel.

It has been a long wait for Root, with England concentrating on limited-overs action since his appointment was announced in February.
"Every time you go out and play, you are under a huge amount of pressure anyway, and you don't want to put yourself under any more," said Root, who is England's 80th Test captain.
"Whenever we can offload that and have a bit of fun in the dressing room then that should happen.
"I think it's really good for the environment - the guys naturally get on well with each other, it's not something that's fake."
With a Test average of 52.80 and ranked third in the world, Root is hopeful that captaincy will not affect his performances with the bat.
"I want to go about my batting as I would in any other Test match," he told BBC Sport.
"I'll still try to make sure I react quickly to the situation and play what's in front of me."
Opener Cook, who retains his place, is back in the ranks for the first time since 2012.
"It has felt forever since that announcement, so now I am really looking forward to the next five days," said Root.
"I have been speaking to a few people, and thinking about how I want things to go because I want to be quite natural and instinctive when I get out there, with a good balance of both.
"I spoke to a few of the players, ex-captains as well, and it was nice to pick their brains to see what they went through in their tenure, to get prepared for what is around the corner."
Having not played a Test match since an innings defeat by India in Chennai in December, England now have seven Tests in the space of nine weeks this summer before the Ashes series in Australia begins in November.
After taking on South Africa, they face West Indies in three home matches.
South Africa head into the series with a number of high-profile absentees, including captain Faf du Plessis, who is temporarily unavailable after the birth of his first child.
Opening batsman Dean Elgar will skipper the tourists in his absence for their first Test in England since winning the 2012 series 2-1.
He is looking forward to unleashing fast bowler Kagiso Rabada on England again.
The 22-year-old , who has 71 wickets in his 17 Tests, took four wickets as the hosts collapsed to defeat in May in the final match of the one-day series which England won 2-1.
And at Centurion in January last year, he took 13 wickets in a 280-run home victory which reduced the Test score to 2-1 in England's favour.
"He's been a find and he's taken to international cricket brilliantly," said Elgar.
"You can see the way he's bowling in the nets. He's fresh and willing to go. If he hits his straps he's going to be something exciting to watch."
Chelsea, last season's beaten finalists, trailed to Lucy Staniforth's well-placed penalty after Claire Rafferty fouled Danielle Brown.
But Bachmann's sweet finish levelled the scores and she scored again after a slick one-two with Karen Carney.
Two Blundell strikes made it 4-1 before Drew Spence's header sealed the win.
The draw for the semi-finals will take place live on BBC Radio 5 Live at 14:45 BST on Monday, 27 March.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Ian McGregor, 30, stabbed his 57-year-old victim more than 40 times.
He had denied attempting to murder her in her Kelso home on 25 October last year.
However, a jury unanimously convicted him of the offence and also attempting to defeat the ends of justice. He will be sentenced next month.
McGregor, described as a prisoner in Edinburgh, launched his assault on Elspeth Burns as she lay in bed after suffering from a migraine.
He had been at her house earlier in the day and returned, entering through an unlocked door, before trying to murder her.
The court heard his victim woke up as McGregor was stabbing her.
She told the court that she had said to him: "What are you doing? Get off me, get off me."
After the attack she got up but collapsed and shouted for help.
She was taken to hospital and was found to have wounds to her head, neck, back and chest.
A doctor described her injuries as extremely serious. She was found to have a punctured lung and an injury near her carotid artery.
McGregor had denied attempting to murder her by repeatedly stabbing her on the head and body to her severe injury, permanent disfigurement and to the danger of her life.
He told the court he had been at his brother's home at the time when the attack occurred.
However, a jury unanimously convicted him and also found him guilty of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
The judge, Lord Summers, called for a background report on him ahead of sentencing next month and he was detained in custody.
The transfer took place on Sunday.
Rights groups had raised concerns that some 200 Sri Lankans may have been handed over, including Tamils who say they face persecution at home.
The government has not commented on other possible cases, but says everyone was subject to "enhanced screening" to ensure compliance with Australia's international obligations.
This is the first time the government has confirmed it has intercepted people at sea, screened them and returned them to their country of origin.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison acknowledged on Monday that a boat-load of 41 people had been handed back to Sri Lanka, while not commenting on the fate of a second boat reportedly carrying about 150 people.
He said they were transferred at sea just outside the Sri Lankan port of Batticaloa on Sunday. "All persons intercepted and returned were subjected to an enhanced screening process," he said.
The government says only four of those returned on Sunday were Tamils.
Mr Morrison added that only one person may have had a case for asylum but he opted to return voluntarily with the rest of the passengers.
Sri Lankan officials said the group would be taken to the port of Galle and handed over to police to be investigated.
Last week the UN refugee agency UNHCR had expressed "profound concern" about the reported situation.
"Requests for international protection should be considered within the territory of the intercepting state, consistent with fundamental refugee protection principles," it said.
"International law prescribes that no individual can be returned involuntarily to a country in which he or she has a well-founded fear of persecution."
Richard Marles, Australia's shadow minister for immigration, questioned the operation.
"Australia's international obligations are reliant upon a credible processing system and we have deep concerns about how that could have been performed by video link at sea in a way which gave an individual assessment, when all the time the boat was steaming towards Sri Lanka," he said.
Sri Lanka has been under heavy international pressure over alleged human rights violations during the final phase of the war against Tamil separatists which ended in 2009.
Rights groups say Tamils still face violence at the hands of the military.
The fate of those on a second boat reportedly detained remains unclear. Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young urged the government to "start being up front with what's happening to them and what their fate will be".
The Australian government has been criticised for imposing what campaigners call a culture of secrecy around asylum, by refusing to comment on operations.
Australia has been taking a tough approach to asylum seekers who try to reach the country by perilous sea journeys.
Under current policy, asylum seekers who arrive by boat are sent to detention camps in Papua New Guinea (PNG) or Nauru. If found to be refugees, they will be resettled there, not in Australia.
Australia says its asylum policy - which is also widely believed to involve towing boats back to Indonesian waters - is aimed at saving lives.
It is also facing tough questions over its offshore processing policy. The UN and rights groups have condemned conditions in its camps in PNG and Nauru.
Investigations are continuing into the death of one asylum seeker in violence at the PNG camp. He is believed to have been beaten to death by a 10-person mob comprising camp guards and PNG locals.
This will be part of an announcement of six more "opportunity areas", where efforts will be focused to improve social mobility.
There will now be 12 opportunity areas in total and each will have a research school.
These schools will encourage innovation and share evidence-based ideas.
The six new opportunity areas will be Bradford, Doncaster, Fenland and East Cambridgeshire, Hastings, Ipswich, and Stoke, identified as social mobility "cold spots".
The total of 12 areas will share £72m, to improve the quality of education and to provide young people with the advice and skills needed for good jobs.
These will build partnerships between schools and colleges and local employers and careers services.
There will be a £3.5m scheme announced for each of the 12 areas to have a research school, to be set up with the Education Endowment Foundation.
These schools are intended to improve the quality of teaching and share ideas from the latest educational research.
Sir Steve Lancashire, is chief executive of REAch2, an academy trust with six schools in the Ipswich area.
He welcomed that "the government is explicitly recognising and prioritising areas of the country where social mobility is at risk of stagnation" and was looking forward to "seeing the difference that this concerted effort will make".
But the National Union of Teachers said that the amount being invested in opportunity areas was less than the amount that would be lost by a funding squeeze facing schools in those areas.
"The sad and bitter irony is that those areas will collectively lose £115m in real terms cuts under the current plans for school funding," said the union's leader, Kevin Courtney.
"I want to see more disadvantaged young people attending the very best universities, winning places on apprenticeships, entering the top professions, and progressing through the most rewarding careers," Ms Greening will say in a speech on social mobility.
"Opportunity areas will help local children get the best start in life, no matter what their background.
"Ensuring all children can access high-quality education at every stage is critical.
"We will focus not just on what we can do to help inside schools, but also create the opportunities outside school that will raise sights and broaden horizons for young people."
Prime Minister Theresa May has linked social mobility with plans for more grammar schools, but it is not expected that the education secretary will have any further details of how selection might be expanded.
Chris Keates, general secretary of the Nasuwt teachers' union, said the opportunity areas announcement had "the potential to make a difference".
But she warned that it was not enough to address the "cumulative impact of real terms' cuts to spending on education".
Bolton's Khan, 30, said earlier this year that Sheffield's Brook, 30, is not a big enough name for him to fight.
But on Wednesday, Khan suggested on social media he would be the next fighter "to smash Kell Brook's face", while Brook responded by saying he wants to "send him back to sleep".
Hearn told BBC Sport: "There's a good chance of it [the bout] happening."
The promoter added: "Amir wants it to happen, so does Kell. We want to put a fight on for the fans."

Both boxers lost in their last fights after moving up to middleweight, with Brook being stopped in the fifth round by Gennady Golovkin, while Khan was knocked out in the sixth by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
Brook and Khan said after their fights that they would not fight at that weight classification again and it is not yet known whether champion Brook's IBF welterweight title would be on the line.
Hearn said the all-British fight could take place "up north in Manchester Arena or Old Trafford".
"Kell has proved himself. He beat Shawn Porter and had a good fight with Golovkin. The time is right," added Hearn. | Peter Sallis was best known as the mild-mannered Norman Clegg in Last of the Summer Wine.

The former director also rejected the current board's accusation that he made "untrue allegations" last week.
King believes that the directors have gone back on their word to provide the results of the 120-day business review before fans renew season books.
He has urged fans to seek answers to a series of questions before doing so.
In his statement last Friday, the Glaswegian accused the Ibrox board of an "extreme act of bad faith" and revealed that a bank account will be set up for supporters to pay their renewal money into, with King and the former Rangers captain Richard Gough acting as the first custodians.
The Rangers board then released their own statement, accusing King of making a number of "untrue allegations" and insisting that he had told them in a private meeting last month that he would prefer other investors to provide the investment to fund the club's attempts to earn a place in the top flight.
This attempt at a 'juicy' leak by the board merely proves that it is impossible to engage on a basis of confidentiality and integrity
"This board continues its habit of evading issues by attacking the integrity of any individual or group that speaks out against them," King said.
"I do not regard integrity as a character attribute that comes with an on/off switch.
"When I met with the board, the chairman requested that, other than the two public statements that we made, the balance of our discussions would remain private. I steadfastly honoured my undertaking. This board did not do likewise.
"In an ill-judged attempt to discredit me, they disclosed my comment that I preferred not to put money into Rangers if it could be found from other sources.
"In this instance they demonstrated their lack of integrity for no advantage as I had already, as part of my frank discussions with the fan groups, advised them that I had no prime ambition to invest further in the club but will do so if no other investors come forward.
"This attempt at a 'juicy' leak by the board merely proves that it is impossible to engage on a basis of confidentiality and integrity.
"The board has now stated that it was always its intention to only provide the business review after season-ticket advances had largely been paid.
"It has denied that it agreed the business review would be made available prior to fans committing to season-ticket advances even though I referred to this agreement in my public statement immediately after our meeting.
"The board allowed my public statement to go unchallenged. Presumably it had no concern with what I stated."
The end of Wallace's 120-day review comes on Thursday 17 April, three weeks before the deadline for season-ticket renewals. King's advice to supporters is to seek answers to his questions before deciding whether or not to renew.
Without an increase in season-ticket sales, Rangers could not be certain about their going concern status for the next 12 months, according to the notes in last month's interim accounts.
"Given that the board is quick to raise integrity and trust as key issues I would like to pose simple questions," King said.
"Does the board agree it is unfair to ask fans to buy season tickets before they consider the business review?
"Does the board agree that, given the present financial position of the club, it is appropriate to provide Ibrox and Murray Park as security against season-ticket advances?
"Does the board agree that in the latter half of December 2013 it was in discussions to obtain finance that would be needed prior to the end of the current season?
"Does the board agree that in the latter half of December 2013 it provided public assurances to the fans that the club had sufficient cash to last until the end of the current season?" | Dave King has accused the Rangers board of attacking his integrity and has again called on supporters to not renew their season tickets. | 27,015,224 | 818 | 26 | false |
Davies says that team ethos is at the heart of the current squad's fantastic run of form that has seen them win eight successive matches, one short of what would be a record for the region.
"I actually remember watching the Galacticos and they were a great team," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"I think we are just working together."
Davis says the culture of the Ospreys has led directly to their success, with no star players at the region.
"What impresses me about this team is the culture that Steve Tandy has put in place," he said.
"And no player is bigger than any other , no player is hogging the limelight "
Australian Davis, who is credited with rejuvenating the Ospreys' defence this season, says the changes have been technical.
"One thing that was never lacking was effort, so we looked at the structural side of things and hopefully I've given these guys a framework where they can make decisions out on the field and make us a difficult side to break down," he said.

Chris Stokes and Baily Cargill scored from Joe Cole set-pieces to put the Sky Blues ahead before James Maddison made it 3-0 from the edge of the area.
John Fleck was given time to score the fourth before half-time with a low shot past goalkeeper Ian Lawlor.
Coventry's top scorer Adam Armstrong then helped himself to two goals from incisive passes from Cole and Fleck to close the gap on fourth-placed Wigan.
The Sky Blues' thumping win came less than 24 hours after a celebration of the life of former Coventry manager Jimmy Hill was held in the city.
Sky Blues manager Tony Mowbray told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire:
"The talking had to stop really. In the team meeting I could sense a real urgency and responsibility abut the team that we had to get back on the horse and start riding fast again.
"It was a poignant day and I was pleased that the team could find the performance that merited what has happened in the past few days."

Speaking at his first Mayor's Question Time, he said £37.7m of the £60m pledged by Transport for London and the government had already been spent.
If the project was scrapped now, this amount would be lost in full.
If built the Bridge's Trust would repay its £20m loan to TfL, plus £22m in tax, meaning taxpayers would have paid £18m.
He said: "I will support the building of the Garden Bridge, but I am demanding that the project is made more accessible and open to all Londoners in return."
The total cost of the bridge is £175m - £30m each from TfL and the government and the rest from private finance.
Questions were raised in March when it was revealed Transport for London officials met the designer of the planned bridge four times before the procurement process began.
Some Labour members of the London Assembly are unhappy as they wanted the bridge cancelled but Mr Khan said officials were drawing up a report for him on any further risks to the taxpayer.
Speaking to Assembly members, Mr Khan said he would ensure that no more public money would be spent on it.
The Garden Bridge Trust has said: "We share the mayor's desire to have the Bridge open to everyone for as long as possible.
"Balancing this and the need to raise the required private funds to operate the Bridge is important."
It added that it had set up a youth board of more than 40 students who would be involved in developing its education and schools programme.
•The bridge to be closed for fewer than 12 days each year for private fundraising events
•The Bridge to be closed for fewer hours when it closes for fundraising events - the current plans are for it to be closed from midnight to midnight
•A guarantee children from local schools will get to visit and be involved in planting and maintenance
•The Garden Bridge Trust to build a strong working relationship with all of London's parks so that plants grown on the bridge can be replanted elsewhere

Prime Minister Jigme Thinley has outlined an expansion plan for the sector, setting a target of 100,000 tourists by 2012.
About 30,000 tourists are expected to enter the picturesque kingdom this year.
Bhutan, which fiercely guards its ancient traditions, only began to open up to outsiders in the 1970s.
"We want to expand this sector without compromising on our policy of high quality, low impact and not volume tourism," the prime minister told a news conference.
The prime minister did not clarify whether the 100,000 target would include regional tourists, like those from India.
The Association of Bhutanese Tour Operators (ABTO) said it would be possible to bring in up to 60,000 non-Indian tourists by 2012, but perhaps not more.
"If it's only dollar-paying tourists, it seems a rather tall target," an ABTO official said.
Indian tourists pay in rupees as it is the same value as the Bhutanese currency, the Ngultrum.
Almost all other foreign visitors to Bhutan must pay a daily minimum tariff of between $200 (£130) and $250.
Prime Minister Thinley says that fee will remain.
The kingdom, which held its first parliamentary elections in 2008, imposes no limit on the number of Indian tourists.
But it has so far kept a select entry policy for foreigners, who must travel as part of a pre-arranged guided tour.
The Tourism Council of Bhutan is planning to re-brand the kingdom as "the last Shangri-La", a reference to a fictional Himalayan utopia.
New destinations within the country are being opened to tourism, while hotels and credit card infrastructure are to be upgraded.
Meanwhile, more than 250 acres of land in south, east and centre of the kingdom have been earmarked for tourism resorts.
The striker, 24, has scored 17 goals this season, helping the Dingwall side to fourth in the Premiership and into the League Cup final.
The Northern Irishman moved to the Highlanders in the summer of 2014.

"He enjoys the set-up here and it's good for him to earn that contract extension.
"When you've scored 17 goals in 24 games you're going to have suitors so it was important to get him signed up."
He has been capped six time for his national side, making his debut against Scotland in February 2011.
Roedd arweinydd Cyngor Conwy, Gareth Jones sydd hefyd yn gyn AC Plaid Cymru, wedi cyhoeddi ei fod wedi ffurfio cabinet gyda phum aelod Ceidwadol, pedwar o Blaid Cymru ac un cynghorydd annibynnol.
Ond fe wnaeth un o'r cynghorwyr Plaid Cymru hynny, Trystan Lewis, ymddiswyddo yn dilyn ymateb negyddol gan rai aelodau'r blaid i'r cytundeb.
Mae pwyllgor gwaith y blaid nawr wedi gwrthod rhoi sêl bendith i benderfyniad Mr Jones i daro bargen â'r Torïaid.
Dywedodd cadeirydd Plaid Cymru, Alun Ffred Jones yn dilyn cyfarfod ddydd Gwener "na fyddai cynghorwyr Plaid Cymru yn ffurfio cabinet sydd yn cynnwys Ceidwadwyr".
Mewn ymateb i hynny dywedodd Mr Jones ei fod yn "hynod siomedig" â'r penderfyniad.
"Dwi'n galw am gael gwybod mewn ffordd drylwyr a manwl beth yn union yw'r rheswm sydd yn cael ei gynnig am y penderfyniad," meddai.
"Dwi'n gweld dim byd yng nghyfansoddiad y blaid sydd yn atal hyn. Mae'r penderfyniad yn amharu yn andwyol ar ein gwaith ni yn lleol, ac yn atal pobl dalentog rhag cael cyfle i weithio mewn nifer o feysydd pwysig."
Mewn neges Facebook dywedodd Mr Lewis, dyn busnes a cherddor lleol, fod ei ymddiswyddiad yn golygu ei fod "wedi colli'r cyfle i wneud gwahaniaeth yn lleol" ar bynciau fel addysg a'r Gymraeg.
Ond roedd hefyd yn derbyn fod yna wrthwynebiad i'r syniad o glymblaid gyda'r Torïaid.
"Sylweddolais fy mod yn rhoi Plaid Cymru mewn lle anodd, gwneud gwahaniaeth yn lleol ar draul y cenedlaethol, ac mae fy nheyrngarwch i Blaid Cymru yn absoliwt. Dwi'n dal yn drist bod yna golli cyfle yn lleol."
Ar ôl cael ei ethol fel arweinydd y cyngor, roedd Mr Jones wedi dweud ei fod eisiau gwahodd aelodau o bob grŵp gwleidyddol i fod yn rhan o'r cabinet.
Ond dim ond y Ceidwadwyr ac un o'r grwpiau annibynnol gytunodd i wneud, gyda Llafur a'r grŵp annibynnol arall yn gwrthod.
Stephen Abram of Indelible Tattoo Studio, pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual assault, outraging public decency and five counts of voyeurism.
The 46-year-old from Bournemouth filmed women at the former tattoo parlour undressing and using the toilet.
Footage of two women who were sexually assaulted in their sleep was also found on Abram's phone.
Dorset Police first investigated the tattoo artist in June last year after a woman thought she had been filmed by Abram in the bathroom.
He was also placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years on Friday at Bournemouth Crown Court.

The latest figures, released on Thursday, are up from an underlying profit of £50m on the previous year.
It comes just weeks after plans to cut 360 posts over five years were announced as part of savings.
The firm said it is investing almost £1m a day in services - without hikes in customer bills.
Welsh Water's chief executive Chris Jones told BBC Wales that the results reflected a "very good performance" for the company.
He said because the firm had a not-for-profit business model and no shareholders, the entire surplus would be reinvested.
"We've got a programme now of investment over the next five years that will be getting on for nearly £2bn - that's going to enable us to do an awful lot," he added.
The company's priorities include improving customer services by investing in the water pipe network, looking at how to combat climate change and how drainage systems can cope in the future.
It has already invested £15m in the RainScape drainage schemes in parts of Carmarthenshire and Swansea and is setting aside £60m for similar schemes.
Mr Jones said last month's jobs announcement reflected the need to keep up investment in water services while keeping customer bills down.
He told BBC Wales the redundancies would be part of a voluntary programme as part of efficiency targets set by the industry watchdog, Ofwat.
The data, transmitted from remote and icy locations, is now available online to academics around the world.
Seals wearing sensors built at the University of St Andrews have produced nearly 400,000 environmental profiles of the Southern Ocean.
Dr Lars Boehme said the critical flow of information was "like tweeting".
The sensors are said to be non-invasive and fall off when the seals moult, and the university said they are the only devices of their kind that can be attached to animals.
The tags send short pieces of information periodically back to researchers via satellites. This is then processed in St Andrews and shared with international scientists and the Met office for use in weather forecasting.
Dr Boehme, from the St Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit, said: "The information sent back to us gives us details about the seal's immediate physical environment. It's like tweeting.
"Changes in the polar oceans have global ramifications and a significant influence on weather and climate. Sustained observations are required to detect, interpret and respond to change and a strategic system of observations combining a range of platforms is critical in maintaining the flow of information."
The portal containing the decade of data, named Marine Mammals Exploring the Oceans Pole-to-Pole, was launched on Monday.
Mike Fedak, a professor of biology at the university, said: "The fact that animals have collected the data is an interesting innovation in ocean observation.
"But perhaps of more general importance is that data from these remote and inaccessible places now gives us a much clearer picture of the state of the world's oceans.
"We have shown that data from these far-flung locations is critical to understanding the broader state of the global ocean."

Audit Scotland has issued an update on its views of the NHS north of the Border. It makes uncomfortable reading for health secretary Shona Robison about targets missed for waiting times.
It adds urgency to those calling for a re-think of how NHS Scotland needs to reform (now including government ministers), under pressure from tight budgets and growing demand for its services.
The spending watchdog notes the high-level plans for the NHS adapting to changed demands. But it also highlights areas where not much progress has been made towards the vision.
A key element of it is a warning about staffing levels, high vacancy rates and the sometimes astonishing and rising cost of plugging gaps in rotas.
Audit Scotland has set government and health boards the task of assessing the changing demands for staff - for instance, as medical technology changes, and care is shifted into patients' homes.
And even if enough people are trained for changing roles, there's a big challenge to ensure they're in the right places, they're retained in the workforce, and in Scotland, and that they're motivated to deliver the expected rising quality of care.
That issue of workforce planning is not the main area of party political ding-dong about SNP stewardship of the health service. But it is worth a closer look.
I'll spare you the detail but, of late, I've had more exposure to the NHS than I would have wished. I've found that doctors and nurses, when not doing a (usually) fantastic job, laugh scornfully about the notion of 'workforce planning'.
The Scottish government can produce much evidence of plans, work programmes, flow charts and effort going into projections for the future needs of the NHS. But there's not so much evidence that it's feeding through to have much practical effect.
Audit Scotland gave a lot of weight to its call for a more co-ordinated approach and better data with which to plan. It's hard to believe that health boards don't co-ordinate recruitment, but they don't.
The numbers are big. One in ten people in the workforce are in the health or care sectors.
Nearly £6bn is spent on pay for 137,600 NHS jobs in Scotland. Actually, there are more people on the payroll, but this is a measure of "whole-time equivalents" - the number of employees if they were all full-time. Nearly £1bn is spent on national insurance and pensions.
There are 59,000 nurses and midwives, or 43% of the total. Medical and dental (including doctors) number 12,500, or 9%. There are twice as many administrators as medics (and if you think they're all about red tape and waste, try making an appointment with a doctor without using a secretary or receptionist).
Let's stick with the numbers, because that's how to get a handle on the problem.
Almost a fifth of staff are aged over 54, and that has been rising. Of general practitioners, 34% were aged over 50 last year, up from 28% ten years ago.
Turnover of staff last year was at nearly 7%. Among doctors and dentists, it was at 9.2%. In the islands and rural services, the churn of staff is higher still.
Vacancies for consultant posts have been rising steeply, up from 235 in March last year to 408 this year. Among senior posts for general acute medicine, one in six was being advertised in March. In radiology, it was one in eight.
From my anecdotal evidence, doctors are opting to retire or go part-time because they dislike the direction of travel of their contracts - 12 hour shifts, weekend working, or seven days on call, even for the most experienced as they are nearing retirement.
They are able to work part-time partly because they are so well-paid. Even doctors (privately) admit that consultants and GPs won far too much over the past 15 years, as NHS negotiators bought them out of private sector work that few of them were doing.
These challenges are not just down to the NHS in Scotland. Or to put it another way, it doesn't exist in a vacuum.
The workforce is mobile - in and out of the labour market, and in and out of both Scotland and the UK.
For all that people complain about the need for health boards to recruit nurses overseas, it wouldn't be necessary if nurses trained in the UK (at taxpayer expense) weren't taking their skills to foreign countries.
According to the Royal College of Nursing, more UK-trained nurses left the UK to work abroad in 2011 than foreign-trained nurses came in this direction.
And there's a demographic challenge. An eighth of nurses are aged 55 or over. Nearly half of midwives are eligible for retirement in the next decade.
And although a lot more nurses have been trained recently, there has been a decline in the number who are registered in the UK.
Britain is also reliant on foreign-trained doctors. In the 1970s, quarter of registered doctors in the UK were trained elsewhere. By 2005, it had risen to a third.
That growth rate slowed with the expansion of Britain's medical schools (places up by 70% since 1960 to reach nearly 6000 graduates each year). By 2012, 37% had been trained overseas.
The NHS requires far more hospital doctors than it used to - up 30% to 143,000 across the UK in the past decade.
The problem identified there by the King's Fund, a London-based health policy think tank, is not so much the demographics of large-scale retirement over the next decade, but the reverse - a shortage of career development opportunities for younger doctors, as senior consultants work past conventional retirement age.
And just as British-trained nurses are sought in other countries, so too with doctors. The King's Fund points to analysis suggesting that the USA will need 130,000 more doctors ten years from now.
In social care too, demand is on the rise and Britain is dependent on foreign-born people to do a lot of the work.
In England, nearly a fifth of the social care workforce is from outside the UK, and in some parts of the south-east, that can rise to half.
While 1.6 million people work in social care, the projections are for that to rise by at least a third within ten years.
The social care workforce is 80% female. That goes for around 90% of those at the front line.
And that is one of the trickiest bits of NHS workforce planning too. It's increasingly a service delivered by women.
As women still take the burden of family care, HR departments have to adapt to their requirements for flexible and part-time working.
Around 70% of those starting medical degrees are female. It takes ten years for one of them to become a fully qualified GP.
Plugging gaps in specialisms with that long a delay is only exacerbated by the changing protocols of how healthcare is delivered. Decisions made now about the workforce needs in five to ten years won't necessarily meet the evolving health requirements of next decade.
Medical science moves fast. Some skills become redundant. Others will be required of which we haven't yet heard.
Some time between 2017 and 2022, there will be more female doctors in the NHS than male.
Assuming many women doctors will require maternity leave, and may take career breaks, that makes workforce planning a lot more difficult.
So you've got to have some sympathy for those charged with workforce planning in the NHS. It's not easy. But as Audit Scotland points out, it could be a lot better.
Mathew James, 30, from Trehafod, near Pontypridd, used his body as a human shield while protecting his fiance Saera Wilson, 26, when a gunman began firing on a Sousse beach last month.
He was flown home to the UK and has been recovering in hospital in Cardiff.
The couple posted a picture from the University Hospital of Wales during his time there.
The I-5 F4, which will service the voice, video and data needs of remote and on-the-move customers, was taken into orbit by a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket.
It is the first time the London company has used the American launch provider.
The rocket and its payload lifted away from Florida's Kennedy Space Center at 19:21 local time (00:21 BST, Tuesday).
The I-5 F4 was ejected from the upper-stage of the Falcon some 32 minutes later.
At 6 tonnes, the satellite was on the limit of the rocket's performance, meaning SpaceX had no spare propellant to follow its usual practice of landing the vehicle's first-stage back on Earth after the mission. The booster was allowed instead to fall back uncontrolled over the Atlantic.
Inmarsat has not made it clear precisely where or how it will use the new satellite.
The firm already has three Ka-band spacecraft delivering its Global Xpress broadband service to customers worldwide.
These clients include ships, oil and gas platforms, armed forces and the media - users who need telecommunications away from a fixed line.
CEO Rupert Pearce told BBC News that the new "bird" would act in the first instance as a quick-response spare to fill in behind the primary satellites, should one of them unexpectedly experience a failure.
But it was inevitable, he said, that with ever-increasing demand for capacity, the I-5 F4 would ultimately be deployed to exploit new market opportunities. "You could say it's something of a 'Swiss Army Knife' for us, and that's a nice position to be in," he added. "I expect we'll become clear on the early business applications of the satellite around the end of the summer."
Inmarsat owns a number of orbital slots in the geostationary arc some 36,000km above the equator and so is under no pressure to say now exactly where the satellite will be stationed.
This is a busy period for the London-based satellite operator.
Next month will see the launch of an S-band spacecraft which will work in tandem with ground antennas to provide wifi services onboard aeroplanes.
This project, which is a joint venture with Deutsche Telekom, will be the first hybrid space-terrestrial telecommunications network in Europe.
Providing in-flight services has become a key battleground for satellite operators and promises large growth opportunities in the years ahead.
Space analysts Euroconsult estimate that current revenues from in-flight connectivity of $1bn a year could top $6.5bn by 2026.
The industry leaders in this sector - such as Inmarsat, Gogo, Intelsat, SES, and ViaSat - are all investing heavily in systems that will allow passengers to use their mobile devices in the cabins of planes.
"There's a huge amount of effort going on at Inmarsat right now to make sure we take a meaningful bite out of this market because it's market share that will be determined in the next couple of years. So now is when you've got to participate," Mr Pearce said.
Inmarsat's S-band spacecraft was supposed to be being launched on a Falcon Heavy rocket, a beefed up version of the Falcon-9. But delays in the vehicle's development led to Inmarsat transferring the mission to a European Ariane-5 rocket instead.
Nonetheless, Mr Pearce said he was delighted to fly SpaceX for the first time, and looked forward to the occasion when an Inmarsat satellite would go up on one of the American provider's "second-hand" rockets.
"I'd like to see a longer track record of refurbished rockets being launched successfully without problems," the CEO told BBC News.
"At the moment, we don't put up satellites in sufficient numbers to be relatively sanguine about losing one. But I'm very encouraged by what I've seen in recent months, and once we feel that refurbished rockets are essentially the same as new rockets - we'll jump onboard and extend our relationship with SpaceX."

The group, which wants the levy to be axed, tested 49 drinks and found that some coffee shop drinks had more sugar than Coca Cola, but would not be taxed.
Anti-obesity campaigners welcomed the tax when it was announced in March.
The Treasury said soft drinks would be taxed because they were the main source of added sugar in children's diets.
Sugar tax: How will it work?
What is the UK's most sugary drink?
The Taxpayers' Alliance (TPA) survey found that Coca-Cola, with 10.6g of sugar per 100ml, will be subject to the levy, but a Starbucks signature hot chocolate with whipped cream and coconut milk, which has 11g of sugar per 100ml, will not.
The study also noted energy drinks such as Monster Origin, 11g/100ml, will be taxed, but Tesco chocolate flavoured milk, 12.4g/100ml, will not be.
Overall, the 10 most sugary drinks analysed by the group which campaigns for lower taxes will not be subject to the levy.
The recommended maximum intake of added sugar per day for those aged 11 and over is about 30g or seven teaspoons, the NHS says.
TPA chief executive Jonathan Isaby said it was "deeply concerning" that the government was "pushing ahead with this regressive tax which will hit the poorest families hardest".
"The evidence shows that the sugar tax has nothing to do with the sugar content of products, so it is farcical to suggest that this will have any positive impact on people's diet or lifestyle choices," he said.
"This is yet another example of irresponsible meddling from the high priests of the nanny state, introducing entirely unnecessary complications into an already complicated tax system and pushing up the cost of everyday products for hard-pressed families."
The NHS has also said it would impose its own "sugar tax" in hospitals and health centres in England.
Chief executive Simon Stevens said he wanted the 20% tax on all sugary drinks and foods in NHS cafes to be introduced by 2020.
It is hoped the NHS levy, which would initially just apply to sugary drinks, could raise £20m-40m a year, with the money raised used to improve the health of its workforce.
The "tax" would also be put in place with the aim of discouraging staff, patients and visitors from buying sugary goods.
A Treasury spokesman said the soft drinks industry levy was "a major step forward in our efforts to tackle childhood obesity".
"Treating obesity and its consequences costs the taxpayer £5.1bn every year," he said.
"The levy will be charged on soft drinks because they are the main source of added sugar in children's and teenagers' diets, many with no intrinsic nutritional value.
"Health experts agree there is a specific problem with sugar-laden fizzy drinks that must be addressed."
He said the money from the tax would go towards funding more school sport and expanding school breakfast clubs.
Martin McGuinness said officers told him that the threat came from a group calling itself the Continuity IRA.
"I have been made aware the PSNI has discovered a plan to launch a rocket attack against me," the Sinn Féin MLA said.
He said he would not be "silenced or deterred" by threats to his life.
"The PSNI has said that a group calling itself 'CIRA' considered an attack against me using a rocket launcher," Mr McGuinness said in a statement.
"If those behind this threat think they have ability to destroy the peace agreements which have been endorsed by the overwhelming majority of the people of Ireland then they are clearly detached from reality," he added.
Peers discussing Eurostar's ban on animals on their trains were told that 68 ferrets had entered the UK last year under the terms of the European Union's Pet Travel Scheme.
That prompted the Labour peer Lady Farrington to offer words of caution.
She said her son's ferret "did enjoy trouser legs" and it was "very important to take care" of them.
The exchange came as peers pressed Eurostar to reconsider its decision not to allow any animals, except guide dogs, on its trains.
Government minister Lord Gardiner said 170,000 dogs, cats and ferrets had come to the UK from across Europe under the auspices of the pet travel scheme, but it was up to firms to decide their own conditions.
In response, Lady Farrington recalled: "We had a ferret belonging to my son called Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and she did enjoy trouser legs. It is very important for people to take care.
"A former colleague of mine called Derek Hatton started a ferret appreciation society in Wigan, and I had to warn him that I would turn up with said ferret and that he had to beware of her interest of going up trouser legs."
Lord Gardiner offered thanks for the "splendid reason as to why one should be cautious of ferrets" and said he hoped all the other peers "had taken note of what was said about trousers".
The minister said the government did not impose any obligation on transport companies to carry pets and it was a commercial decision for them.
In December, the EU issued new guidelines, including a "clearer definition" of what animals were covered by the Pet Travel scheme to ensure wild animals could not be moved.
The £1.3bn package will cover the design, remaining building work and testing of HMS Anson at BAE Systems' Barrow site over the next five years.
It is the latest in a string of contractual announcements by successive governments since the 1990s.
The vessel is one of a fleet of seven Astute Class submarine.
Two are already in operation, one is undergoing sea trials, a fourth is at an advanced stage of construction and work has begun on the sixth.
There has never been one big contract to build them all, funding has always been announced in segments.
Minister of state for defence procurement, Philip Dunne, said: "Building submarines is not a simple endeavour.
"Every element of it is quite complex, including securing the right contractual arrangements around it.
"So what we've done is build components, modules and elements under individual contracts.
"This is about bringing it all together ad taking it through to completion."
Tony Johns, managing director of BAE Systems submarines, said: "Signing this contract is an important milestone in the Astute programme.
"This is a hugely complex national endeavour and we are proud of the role we play in helping to protect our nation's interests."
Smail F and Ibrahim F, reported in local media to be brothers, face charges including terrorist murder.
Three suicide bombers killed 32 people at Brussels international airport and Maelbeek metro station.
On Tuesday, three more suspects in the attacks in Paris in November were arrested in Brussels, officials said.
The gun and bomb attacks in the French capital killed 130 people.
Smail F and Ibrahim F have been linked to a house in the central Etterbeek area of Brussels that was used by suicide bomber Khalid el-Bakraoui, who died in the Maelbeek metro attack, and the arrested Swedish national Osama Krayem, suspected of being el-Bakraoui's accomplice.
Prosecutors say Smail F was born in 1984 and Ibrahim F in 1988.
The house in Avenue des Casernes was raided on Saturday but no explosives or weapons were found.
"They are charged with participation in the activities of a terrorist group, terrorist murders and attempts to commit terrorist murders, as a perpetrator, co-perpetrator or accomplice," prosecutors said in a statement.
Belgian media report that the two brothers knew both Khalid el-Bakraoui and his brother Ibrahim, who blew himself up at the airport along with Najim Laachraoui.
Elder brother Smail F is suspected of renting the Etterbeek flat while his younger brother is alleged to have helped clean the flat, removing evidence before police arrived, public broadcaster RTBF reports. However, other reports indicate that Ibrahim F denies any involvement in the plot.
What is unclear for Belgian investigators is whether further suspects are at large.
There are particular concerns over the whereabouts of a backpack allegedly worn on 22 March by Krayem, a Swedish national said to have returned to Europe from Syria last September.
The suspect was spotted on CCTV wearing a similar backpack to Khalid el-Bakraoui when they had a brief conversation at Petillon metro station, a few stops away from Maelbeek. While el-Bakraoui blew himself up, Krayem did not.
Krayem is also thought to have been filmed at a Brussels shopping centre, buying the suitcases used in the airport bombings.
The other key arrested suspect is Mohamed Abrini, who police say has confessed to being the "man in the hat" - the third airport bomber who fled without detonating his device.
Tuesday's arrests over the attacks on Paris took place after a raid on a house in the Brussels suburb of Uccle.
No further details were given.
Belgian Islamism expert Pieter Van Ostaeyen has warned that the authorities may be dealing with a far bigger jihadist cell than thought.
He told Belgian TV on Monday that the Brussels bombings, like the attacks on Paris and on the Brussels Jewish museum in May 2014, were linked to a network run by Paris attacker Abdelhamid Abaaoud and jihadist recruiter Khalid Zerkani.
"Potentially there are at least another 60 to 70 members of the Zerkani network still active," he warned.
Two other suspects, Herve BM and Bilal el-Makhoukhi, are being investigated for participating in terrorist acts.
Belgian prosecutors revealed on Sunday that Mohamed Abrini had told them that the original plan had been to target France but it was switched to Brussels when fellow Paris attack suspect Salah Abdeslam was arrested in Brussels on 18 March.
Abdeslam was stopped by police near Ulm in south-western Germany last October. Krayem was with him at the time, using a fake Syrian passport, as was Amine Choukri who was also arrested on 18 March.
In a separate development, Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad has obtained a photo of Abdeslam in jail in Bruges. The image shows Abdeslam with a beard, which he did not have before he went on the run last November.
The website says (in Dutch) that he is being held in a top security wing of Bruges prison and checked on eight times per hour.
An outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease - which is being linked to severe birth defects - has caused growing concern in Brazil and abroad.
Inspections of Olympic facilities will begin four months before the Games to get rid of mosquito breeding grounds.
Daily sweeps will also take place during the Games.
But fumigation would only be an option on a case-by-case basis because of concerns for the health of the athletes and visitors.
The Brazilian health ministry says it is also banking on the fact that the Games are taking place in the cooler, drier month of August when mosquitoes are far less evident and there are considerably fewer cases of mosquito-borne viruses.
A British Olympic Association spokesperson said that it would be monitoring the situation over the coming months and its medical team had been liaising with specialists at the London School of Tropical Medicine.
The aim is to ensure that team members are "given the most up-to-date travel medicine advice, which includes information on bite prevention strategies," the spokesperson said.
"This information has already been shared with all sports and it will be continually updated prior to departure for the Olympic Games."
The announcement by the Rio authorities comes amidst growing attention around the world over the large number of cases of Zika in the Americas.
Brazil has the largest-known outbreak of the virus which has been linked to a spike in birth defects in new-born babies whose mothers were bitten by the mosquito during pregnancy.
The US, Canada and EU health agencies have issued warnings saying pregnant women should avoid travelling to Brazil and other countries in the Americas which have registered cases of Zika.
It was spotted by members of staff at a car wash in Lower Hollin Bank Street, Blackburn on Wednesday morning.
It is not yet clear whether the pigeon had "fallen into something" or been deliberately covered in paint, an RSPCA spokesperson said.
"I've never seen anything like it in 15 years of this job," Insp Nina Small added. "Only his eyes were clear."
"He was in a car wash of all places - perhaps he was trying to clean himself off?
"After a wash, his feathers were still stained pink. The amount of paint coming off his body was astonishing.
"If someone has intentionally painted the pigeon's feathers then I'd be very concerned for other birds and animals in the area," she said.
Insp Small added she hoped it would be possible to remove all the paint from the pigeon's feathers and release it back into the wild.
However, if its feathers have been permanently damaged its ability to fly may be affected.
There is also the possibility that, while attempting to clean itself, the pigeon may have ingested potentially toxic paint.
MP Sarah Champion's bill to require greater pay transparency cleared its first hurdle by 258 votes to eight.
The Labour MP for Rotherham said equal pay was "still no more than a promise", and claimed women earned £200,000 less than men over a lifetime.
The vote was largely symbolic as the bill would need government backing to stand a chance of becoming law.
It was instigated by opposition MPs who wanted to put on record their support for the bill, even though no-one spoke against it.
Analysis of the division showed that seven male Conservative MPs opposed the bill, while another Tory formally abstained by voting in both lobbies.
The vote coincided with a rally in Westminster to draw attention to the gender pay gap, which was attended by politicians and veterans of the 1968 protest over equal pay at the Ford plant in Dagenham.
Former Bond Girl Gemma Arterton who plays the lead role in the West End musical adaptation of the strike - Made in Dagenham - was also at the event with other cast members.
In the Commons, Ms Champion said: "I'm ashamed to say that 46 years from that historic strike and 44 years since the [Sex Discrimination and Equal Pay] Act was passed equal pay is still no more than a promise."
She said women in Britain earn on average "just 81p" for every £1 earned by a man. "Over a lifetime that means women miss out on a staggering £200,000 - enough to buy a house outright."
Female workers in their 20s are paid an average of £1,570 less a year than their male peers, MPs were also told.
Explaining the purpose behind her bill, the MP said: "All I'm asking for is equal pay for equal work. Whether it is on the shop floor or the trading floor this principle is as relevant now as it was back then when the women in Dagenham marched."
It would bring into effect measures in the 2010 Equality Act which were not implemented by the coalition government, to make companies with more than 250 staff publish the difference between male and female pay.
The average full-time gender pay gap is now at its lowest since comparative records began, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The difference narrowed by 0.6%, to 9.4% in April 2014 compared with 17.4% recorded in 1997.
The gender pay gap for all employees, full-time and part-time, was also the lowest on record at 19.1%, down from 19.8% in 2013.
While welcoming the fall, Ms Champion said progress was still "too slow" and criticised the government for not doing enough to tackle the problem.
She said her bill was not about naming and shaming companies but placing a responsibility on employers to obey the law on equal pay and take steps to reduce the gender pay gap.
And she rejected the notion that it would place a new administration burden on employers.
"Equal pay is an issue for all of us," she told the Commons, and insisted: "We still have time before the election to make pay transparency a reality."
The government says it is "absolutely committed" to reducing the gender pay gap, and recently pledged £2m to help tackle disparities in pay between women and men.
Women and Equalities Minister Nicky Morgan, a Conservative, said that although the gap was "narrowing" there was no room for complacency.
The Liberal Democrat election manifesto will commit the party to forcing large companies to publish the average pay of their male and female staff - or face fines.
Lib Dem Equalities Minister Jo Swinson said fair pay was a "fundamental part of building a fairer society".
Mr Cameron made his announcement at a dementia summit in London, which is being chaired by Britain, as part of its presidency of the G8.
The number of dementia sufferers worldwide is expected to treble to 135m by 2050.
Here, BBC News website readers and BBC Breakfast viewers with experiences of dealing with dementia share their views and stories.
Both of my grandmothers and one of my partner's grandparents suffered and died at the hands of dementia.
I watched as the two most beautiful and strong women in my life were reduced to a mere shell of there former selves.
I am passionate about finding a cure and more support for people living with, and dying from, dementia on a daily basis.
People try and ignore it and don't understand how terrible it is and how it affects the whole family of sufferers.
When someone with dementia dies, they are not the same person. It is quite an emotional journey.
My partner and I, along with my 14-year-old daughter, raised money by walking 26 miles for the Alzheimer's Society earlier this year.
I also work in elderly residential care, which is not specifically for people with dementia and Alzheimer's, but there are some people with dementia who may not have been diagnosed.
So I am excited by the G8 meeting on dementia and hope that there can be a real plan put in place and hope for the future.
The whole approach to Alzheimer's and dementia must change. We are all responsible for the care of these unfortunate people and attitudes must change.
My 78-year-old mother has been diagnosed with dementia, but it was noticeable well before her diagnosis.
My father, who is 80, is her carer. He suffers daily with emphysema and suffered a mild stroke earlier this year.
World dementia cases 'set to treble'
The dementia timebomb
When we asked the Alzheimer's society and the adult social care team about arranging an emergency care plan for my mother, they said they cannot do anything unless my mother signs an agreement stating she has dementia and my father is her carer.
The huge problem is that my mother does not and will not admit she has dementia. She refuses to let nursing staff into the house and will not take her medication.
It is difficult as a family to step in as she gets angry and shuts down if you mention dementia. You cannot have a proper conversation with her and she no longer remembers her grandchildren, or which day or year it is.
I'm just pleased she still knows who I am. I am one of four children, who all work and do not live nearby.
We are worried that my dad really cannot cope and mum will have to be sectioned one day.
The system doesn't seem to account for this scenario. Whilst we are pleased dementia is now being discussed, it is so frustrating that this side of the disease is not shown.
Both my grandmother and grandfather suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
While discussing increasing funding is good news for those who will develop dementia in the coming decades, much more can and should be done to help family carers who are often unrecognised and ignored.
I currently work full time but spend at least 25 hours on top of this caring for both my grandmother and grandfather.
Recognition and financial help for part-time carers would go a long way towards reducing costs to the NHS and reducing the social and financial costs to immediate family.
I never expected to have to care for my family as a 25-year-old and as a biology graduate I hoped to take the fight to dementia in my career, through research.
I feel let down by the government, who should know that many people are having to give up promising careers to care for their relatives. For many, the impending crisis, is all too real now.
More attention and consideration needs to be given to the impact dementia has on carers.
I cared for my mother with dementia for several years and it had a substantial impact on me as a carer.
During the period I cared for her, I continued to work. It was a demanding, responsible job and the only support provided by my employers was an agreement to progressively reduce my hours to allow me to care for her.
In the final two to three years, she was doubly incontinent and I was frequently up at night with her, but still attended work. Any days off as a result of her health and care issues, were usually taken as annual leave, not special leave. There was very little in the way of concessions.
During this period there were constant battles with social services for extra care. This frequently resulted in me paying out the same amount for private carers as I earned that day, so I worked effectively for nothing.
I managed to eventually succeed in seeking continuing care for my mother, but it was a hollow victory, because a few months later, in March 2008, she died.
In her last few months, the carers who had cared for my mother through social services for several years, were prevented from continuing because the contract for the care had to go to another private care company.
This distressed my mother in her final months and added to the family's strain.
Interviews by Stephen Fottrell.
Steve writes: "We also need to raise awareness of the fact that dementia is now affecting younger people and is not just an older person's disease, as most people think.
My partner, who is now in care, was diagnosed with Frontal Temporal Dementia at the age of 37.
Two years down the line, she now needs constant care and none of the drugs to help dementia sufferers work for her form of the disease."
Pauline writes: "My Mum is a dementia sufferer. I'm hoping the level of care dementia sufferers receive in their home will be addressed at this summit.
We are dealing with our second care providers, because the level of care wasn't acceptable with the first one. To say the training is inadequate is a big understatement. The vast majority of the carers have no understanding or knowledge of the condition.
We were told we would have regular carers, so my mum could get used to them and the carers get used to her. But, recently we have had 11 different carers in 12 days."
Alexandra tweets: "Dementia is my dad sitting in his care home looking at a door waiting for my mum, who died a year ago."
Helen writes:"There is not enough help for carers and families of dementia sufferers."
The multi-talented musician won three prizes at this month's Progressive Music Awards in London, including album of the year for Hand. Cannot. Erase. The Guardian's five-star review called it "a smart, soulful and immersive work of art".
Since the 1980s, Wilson has been the driving force in a number of musical projects, the best known of which is the rock band Porcupine Tree.
Now, ahead of two sell-out shows at the Royal Albert Hall, Wilson is releasing a vinyl-only double LP, Transience, to showcase the "more accessible" side of his solo output.
He tells the BBC about his love of vinyl, his busy schedule and explains how comic actor Matt Berry came to be his support act.
What does vinyl mean to you?
I grew up at the very tail end of the vinyl era, and at the time, I remember, we couldn't wait for CD to come along because vinyl was so frustrating. You would buy the record, take it home, and it would have a scratch, and you would have to take it back again.
I love CDs, and for some kinds of music - classical for example - it is better than vinyl. But the problem with the CD and digital downloads is that there's nothing you can really cherish or treasure.
Owning vinyl is like having a beautiful painting hanging in your living room. It's something you can hold, pore over the lyrics and immerse yourself in the art work.
I thought it was just a nostalgic thing, but it can't be if kids too young to remember vinyl are enjoying that kind of experience.
Do you have a piece of vinyl that you treasure?
The truth is I got rid of 100% of my vinyl in the 90s. All the vinyl I have is re-bought. I started off from the perspective that I wanted to recreate the collection I had when I was 15, but it's gone beyond that.
The first record which I persuaded my parents to buy for me was Electric Light Orchestra's Out of the Blue. If I still had my original copy, it would have sentimental value, but, alas, it's in a charity shop somewhere.
Why release your new compilation Transience on vinyl?
It was originally conceived as an idea for Record Store Day, but we missed the boat on that.
My record company had suggested I put together some of my shorter, more accessible songs. I got a bit obsessed by the idea to make something like "an introduction to Steven Wilson", and I was committed to it being a vinyl-only release. Anyone who buys the vinyl does also get a high-res[olution] download.
Do you have a concern that the album won't show your work in a true light?
No - because although I do focus on more long-form pieces of music, there is one thing I have always valued above everything else: melody.
There is a lot of progressive rock which focuses on the technical complexity of the track rather than the melodic side. Pink Floyd, the most successful progressive rock band of all time, have stood the test of time because the emphasis was always on melody and atmosphere.
What do you have in store for your Albert Hall shows?
I don't want to give away too much. The repertoire will be completely different each night.
The first night is going to be a version of the Hand. Cannot. Erase. show I've been doing this year - but on steroids - with a couple of guests.
The second night is going to be more of a trip into my history, which is more aimed at the fans have been following me for years.
How did it come about that Matt Berry is the support act on the second night?
Myself and everyone on the tour bus are massive fans of [Channel 4 comedy series] Toast of London to the point that we are quoting it endlessly.
I thought that I should check out Matt's music, so I picked up a copy of his Music for Insomniacs. I chatted with him about our love of Mike Oldfield and asked him to play at the Royal Albert Hall.
I'm going to be incredibly star struck by my opening act.
You've been remixing albums by the likes of XTC, Tears for Fears and Yes. How much does that influence your own work?
I don't consciously draw from that, but, inevitably, if you are deconstructing these classic albums they really get into your head.
My last solo album, The Raven That Refused to Sing, was without doubt the most old-school progressive album I've ever done. I don't think it was coincidence that I had been remixing King Crimson, Jethro Tull and Yes almost exclusively for the previous year.
The current album, Hand. Cannot. Erase., opened up a lot more because I'd been working on Tears for Fears and XTC.
You are often described as progressive rock's busiest musician. Is that how it feels?
You can remove the word progressive. I think I am probably one of the most work-obsessed people in the music business today, and I don't say that with any sense of pride because believe me it's a curse.
I think I get it from my father, who also had an incredibly strong work ethic. If I don't do anything for a whole day, I start to feel this creeping guilt. That's why the remix work has been such a gift to me because it means I don't have to be doing my own music all the time.
The music industry is a hard place to make a living for yourself. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as a profession now. I work every day, and I'm not rich, but I make a good living. I love what I do, it's a privilege, but if I was lazy about it, I don't think I'd be able to survive.
Transience is out in the UK on 25 September. Steven Wilson plays the Royal Albert Hall on 28 and 29 September as part of his 2015-16 tour of Europe.
The 30-year-old, who began his career at West Brom, has made four appearances for the National League side since arriving in January.
Gulls player-manager Kevin Nicholson says he is happy to prolong the ex-West Bromwich Albion full-back's stay.
"He has been an excellent influence on the lads and his experience has really helped us," he said.
Meanwhile, Torquay captain Courtney Richards could miss the rest of the season with a knee problem.
The 23-year-old midfielder will be out for up to eight weeks after suffering a medial collateral ligament injury in their draw with Barrow on Saturday.
Gardai (Irish police) are also investigating an assault on a woman, thought to be the boy's mother, at a house in Oola shortly before the crash at about 08:30 BST on Wednesday.
Police said she is believed to have suffered a broken arm and cuts which are not thought to be life threatening.
The man and the boy left the house shortly before the crash.
It happened on the N24 between Pallasgreen and Oola shortly after 08:35 on Wednesday.
The driver of the truck was not injured but was very shocked by what had happened.
Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
The woman who was injured in the earlier assault was taken by ambulance to University Hospital Limerick.
Uganda had planned to send the pipeline through Kenya, which wanted a joint facility for oil from its own fields that are under development.
The pipeline will now be routed further south, with concerns about possible attacks by Somalia's al-Shabab Islamists said to be a factor.
The group has attacked targets close to where the pipeline would have passed.
Uganda announced its decision in Kampala at a summit of the East African Community bloc, which groups Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan.
The 1,400km (800 miles) pipeline will connect Uganda's western region near Hoima, where big oil reserves have been discovered, with Tanzania's port of Tanga.
The project is expected to cost about $4bn (£2.8bn) and create 15,000 jobs.
The discovered oil reserves in Uganda are estimated at some 6.5bn barrels, and the country expects to start production in 2018.
France's Total, China's CNOOC and Britain's Tullow hold most of the licences.
Kenya, which has also struck oil, had wanted the pipeline to pass through its territory.
Uganda had initially signed such a deal, but Total later questioned the plan over security concerns, the BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in Kampala reports.
Ugandan Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa said on Saturday that the cost was also a factor in choosing the project.
"We considered Tanga oil pipeline route based on a number of aspects - among them it is the least cost," he told the AFP news agency.
Reports also suggest that Uganda backed the Tanzanian route because the country's port of Tanga is already fully operational, while Kenya's Lamu port is still being built.
When completed, it will be East Africa's first major oil pipeline.
Meanwhile, Kenya said it would build its own pipeline from Lokichar, in the north-east, to Lamu.
Olaf said failures by Customs and Excise had cost at least 5.2bn euros (£4.5bn) in lost duties and VAT.
The losses relate to clothing and footwear exported mainly from China.
An HMRC spokesman said its experts did not recognise OLAF's estimates.
As a result it planned to challenge them, he added.
Ernesto Bianchi, investigations director for OLAF, said: "In the last year we have seen a concentration of the fraud pattern and we have calculated that roughly 79.9% of the losses in customs duties are made through declarations made in UK ports.
"These are estimates, of course, because the fraud is perpetrated by a particular type of scheme where the companies actually disappear."
The EU may order the UK to pay back the lost customs duties, estimated at about 2bn euros (£1.7bn).
OLAF says almost 80% of the illicit traffic in goods passes into the single market through the UK, mainly the ports of Dover and Felixstowe.
Often shipments arriving in Hamburg will be transported to Dover so they can be declared for customs in the UK.
The goods are then transported all over the EU once they have passed UK customs.
OLAF accuses HMRC of failing to use a risk analysis system used by other European customs departments to detect fraud, despite it having raised the issue at four separate bilateral meetings with senior UK tax officials in recent years.
During a special Brussels-based operation in 2014, HMRC used the system to detect under-declaration of customs values totalling about £400m in just four weeks.
However, the UK was unable to recover the lost duties and has failed to adopt the methodology since then.
British businesspeople are concerned and say they believe criminal gangs operating in the UK are also based in China. They also fear that Chinese racketeers own and run many of the so-called fulfilment houses - the huge warehouses used to hold imported goods in Europe.
They are angry that the same Chinese importers are evading VAT as well as under-declaring the value of goods at customs.
Richard Allen, from the business pressure group Retailers Against VAT Abuse (RAVAS), says his members had gathered plenty of hard evidence of widespread tax avoidance by Chinese criminal rackets.
"We were approached by a European police force who had impounded a large volume of goods from China and they told us that the freight forwarder, and the warehouse that was holding the goods in the EU were involved and they were Chinese-owned.
"So it seems to be a very professional set-up. It seems to be that they have found an Achilles' heel in that the UK is a weak spot.
"Once you bring this stuff into the EU you can sell it to any member state and it will not go through any other customs checks."
Many fear the current level of fraud actually detected is just the tip of the iceberg.
Neven and Roni Juretic set up business selling tablet and smartphone covers online. In just seven years, their company has paid £750,000 in VAT.
By evading tax, they say the Chinese racketeers were able to undercut their business. A monthly turnover of £60,000 fell by more than two-thirds virtually overnight forcing the couple to sack staff and give up their own warehouse.
Mr Juretic says the business has recovered since then by specialising in higher quality items.
"This is a complete and utter failure by HMRC to detect the fraud and to work out that goods are being declared at a small percentage of true value when that can be so obviously detected if they used the right methods," he says.
"They're also allowing VAT-evading sellers to warehouse stock in the UK without taking any action against them, so add those two together and you've got a huge hole in the UK economy."
Richard Murphy, an accountant who has long campaigned against tax evasion, blamed the failures on cuts in HMRC staff following a big departmental merger in 2005.
"We saw a complete change in the mentality of the organisation," says Mr Murphy.
"They aren't even training staff to be fully qualified tax inspectors any more. So the staff they've got are not as well trained and they're being concentrated in fewer and fewer offices - many of which are away from ports."
HMRC declined to answer the points made by Richard Murphy, the businesspeople and OLAF.
A spokesman said there would be no further comment while the OLAF figures were being challenged.
Andrew Hosken reports for BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight programme.
The Spaniard, 31, will become the first player in the open era to win a Grand Slam title 10 times if he wins.
Swiss third seed Wawrinka hit 87 winners as he beat world number one Andy Murray in the semi-finals.
"It's true that when he hits hard, he hits really hard. Stopping him can be difficult," said Nadal.
"I know he's dangerous when he plays aggressively, so I need to limit his possibilities.
"I will play very aggressively, and I don't want him to take control - easy to say, but it may not be that easy to do."
Nadal has yet to drop a set in Paris, reaching the final for the loss of just 29 games over six matches.
His record at Roland Garros now stands at 78 match wins and two defeats since he won his first title in 2005.
However, injury problems hampered his chances in recent years and he has not won a major title since his last French Open triumph in 2014.
Victory would bring Nadal his 15th Grand Slam title, moving him above Pete Sampras into second on the all-time list, behind Roger Federer on 18.
It would also deliver the French Open for the 10th time; only Margaret Court, with 11 Australian Open titles, has won one of the Grand Slam trophies more often.
Nadal has been keen to talk down any pressure surrounding the possibility of a 10th triumph at the tournament, saying: "I think I don't make more history, it's enough. Nine are more than good."
He can take confidence from a record of 15 wins from 18 meetings with Wawrinka, but the Swiss has won three of the last six, including his first Grand Slam win in the 2014 Australian Open final.
"Revenge is not part of my vocab," said Nadal. "I don't think it would be the right thing to do to see it as a revenge."
Wawrinka has continued his habit of peaking for at least one Grand Slam tournament a year since that breakthrough win in Australia in 2014.
The Swiss then won the French Open in 2015, and last year added the US Open, leaving him tied with Murray on three majors and within reach of a career Grand Slam at Wimbledon.
It has been a remarkable transformation in the latter years of his career.
"Mentally, when I arrive on a big tournament or in a big match, it's like closing, switching off everything in my body except my brain, which I put in winning mode," he said.
"Of course, I can lose, but I think I'm extremely confident about what I do, about how I feel, about all the hard work I have accomplished over the past days, weeks, months, years.
"I know that mentally when I'm there, it's difficult to beat me."
Wawrinka is on an 11-match wining streak, having defended his title at Geneva prior to Roland Garros, but knows he faces a different examination on Sunday.
"I think to play Rafa on clay in the French Open in a final is probably the biggest challenge you can have in tennis," said Wawrinka.
"He's the best player ever on clay.
"When you play Rafa in the French Open, you're never the favourite.
"If you lose, it's almost normal. But of course you don't want to lose a Grand Slam final, do you?
"So I'm going to look for solutions, and I'll have to be physically and mentally present and be strong."
The 24-year-old Glasgow Warriors full-back is returning home from New Zealand after suffering a fracture in a facial injury.
He was on his second Lions trip, having been involved in Australia in 2013.
"He'll be back next season and he'll be back on another Lions tour, I've no doubt," Barclay told BBC Scotland.
Hogg was hurt 20 minutes into Saturday's win over Crusaders after accidentally colliding with the elbow of team-mate Conor Murray.
"I text him last night when everyone was hoping it was just a deep cut," Barclay said as Scotland prepare for Saturday's Test with Australia in Sydney.
"He's gutted but he's young enough to hopefully get on the next tour [South Africa 2021].
"He was player of the [Six Nations] championship two years in a row and, for my mind he was a shoo-in for the Lions Test team.
"What can you say? He's done all the graft to get there and it's a freak injury.
"You can just sympathise with him and hope he's all right, getting through whatever he needs to in terms of operations."
IS agents recruited students after urging them to join radical online forums, National Security Coordinator Yaw Donkor told state media.
Mr Donkor confirmed that two Ghanaians had travelled to join IS, the first such cases that have been reported.
Ghana has so far been unaffected by Islamist militancy.
Mr Donkor said there was "no reason to fear", adding that "only a handful" of Ghanaians had gone to join the militant group.
The wealth of IS meant that potential recruits had found the offers made to them by the militants' "irresistible", he added.
The recruits had travelled through Burkina Faso or Nigeria, before receiving training at a camp in Niger, and then making the onward journey to Turkey or Syria, the National Security Coordinator said.
Analysis: Sammy Darko, BBC News, Accra
Many people here are extremely shocked by this news. Ghanaians are surprised because they have always seen Islamist militancy as a distant threat.
But it is now dawning on this West African nation that the problem may have reached closer to home.
The issue has become part of a nationwide discourse. Parents are worrying about their children and the Muslim community is anxious to disassociate itself from Islamist extremism.
Mohammad Nazir Nortei Alema, a 25 year old who studied geography at the prestigious Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, was confirmed as one of those who had joined IS.
"It's like someone in the family has died," his father Abdul Latif Alema told the BBC on Tuesday, after he had received a Whatsapp message from his son explaining that he was going to join the group.
IS, notorious for its brutality, holds vast swathes of territory across Iraq and Syria.
But the group has also established a presence in Africa, with militant groups in Nigeria, Egypt and Libya pledging allegiance to it and carrying out bombing campaigns in its name.
According to Hearn, the heavyweight fight needs to be sanctioned, with Joshua's IBF belt and potentially the WBA and WBO titles on the line.
"Terms are virtually there," he said.
On Wednesday, Britain's Tyson Fury relinquished his WBA and WBO belts and his boxing licence was then suspended.
The British Boxing Board of Control revoked Fury's licence "pending further investigation into anti-doping and medical issues", after the 28-year-old admitted he had been taking cocaine to help him deal with depression.
Fury beat Ukraine's Klitschko last November to win the WBA, IBF and WBO titles but withdrew from two scheduled rematches.
Britain's undefeated heavyweight champion Joshua, 27, was scheduled to defend his title on 26 November in Manchester.
Hearn says the fight between Joshua and Klitschko will likely be held at the 21,000-capacity Manchester Arena.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Hearn added: "The deal between the fighters is there. The financial terms are agreed, there was a problem with US broadcasters but that has been sorted.
"It is now a case of getting the paperwork and the sanctioning in order. Hopefully in a couple of days we will have the official announcement."
Caithness artist Joanne B Kaar came across the labels while researching material about factory ships called klondykers at Ullapool Museum.
The boats from Russia and continental Europe anchored off Ullapool to process fish from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Art that emerged from Kaar's research forms part of this weekend's PortAble exhibition in the village.
They include her own versions of the labels and also a fisherman's jacket printed with information about the klondyers.
Art for PortAble has arrived in Ullapool in 2m by 2m boxes having previously been posted in them to galleries in London and then Spain for display.
The 12 artists involved also include Ullapool's Charlotte Watters, Ian Stephen from the Isle of Lewis and Achiltibuie-based Marian Leven.

It has been a constant theme of European politics over the last few years.
In several countries we are witnessing a gradual decline in support for traditional mainstream parties, as disillusioned voters strike out in unexpected directions.
This loosening of old loyalties has been most notable in Greece: hardly surprising, in a country that has just lived through the steepest recession a modern industrial democracy has ever seen.
The radical left coalition, Syriza, is now in government.
The extreme right party, Golden Dawn - dismissed by its critics as a Neo-Nazi organisation - has a substantial parliamentary presence.
But is Greece a one-off? Or is it the canary in the coal-mine?
At first sight, elections in Spain and France this week suggest that the break-up of the centre-right/centre-left duopoly may not be quite as sudden as some expect.
But look a little closer and some of the numbers are still fairly remarkable.
In southern Spain the Socialist party won a closely-watched regional election in Andalucia, where it has governed since the restoration of Spanish democracy in the 1980s.
But Podemos from the radical left - the Spanish Syriza - won an impressive 15% of the vote; little more than a year after the party was formed.
The big loser in Andalucia was the centre right People's Party, which runs the government in Madrid, even though it came second overall.
The PP will be particularly concerned because the threat to the status quo doesn't come only from the left.
An upstart centrist party, Ciudadanos, also won 9% of the vote, attracting support from people disillusioned by business as usual.
So where does this leave the two main parties in Spain?
As recently as 2008, the Socialists and the PP between them won nearly 84% of the vote in a general election.
They won't come anywhere near that when the country goes to the polls later this year.
Podemos is still some way behind them. But it is indisputably on the rise.
In the first round of local elections in France this week Marine Le Pen's Front National did not top the polls, as many people thought it might.
But the FN still came second with more than 25% of the vote, pushing the governing Socialists into third place.
That suggests that support for the FN's anti-immigration, anti-EU message is more than a simple protest vote.
Even if the mainstream parties conspire to keep the FN out wherever they can in the second round of voting, the French elections are another sign that many disgruntled citizens are now ready and willing to look for alternatives.
Elsewhere on the continent there are similar stories.
The rise of the Five Star Movement in Italy or UKIP in the UK, or even the AfD (Alternative for Germany) in Germany, suggest that some political fault lines are moving.
Why is this happening?
The obvious answer is that it is partly the result of years of economic crisis, particularly in southern Europe.
For many voters, mainstream parties have failed to step up to the challenge.
But there's also a more general malaise - a feeling that ordinary lives are being buffeted by forces and institutions beyond the control of voters.
The idea of a 'democratic deficit' has exercised many political minds, particularly among supporters of the European Union.
Parties like Syriza and Podemos want to redefine what the EU does.
But many protest parties want to destroy it.
Of course, the centre ground is not dead.
Well-funded party machines do not disappear overnight (even if supporters of the Greek Socialist party PASOK may beg to differ).
But traditional parties across Europe are under pressure as never before in recent memory.

The centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron said Ms Le Pen's nationalist proposals amounted to "economic warfare".
But she was also accused from the right of not being tough enough on France's membership of the EU.
Francois Fillon, meanwhile, said that France needed Europe when up against the US and China.
Ms Le Pen, leader of the National Front (FN) party, promised to restore control of France's borders and scrap the euro, or else hold a referendum on EU membership.
Speaking alongside 10 other candidates as things got a little heated in the second of three televised French presidential election debates, she said that her presidency would improve the lives of French citizens.
Mr Macron, the frontrunner, accused Ms Le Pen of lying, and said that "nationalism is war".
"You are saying the same lies that we've heard from your father for 40 years," he said.
Ms Le Pen, who also came under attack from conservative candidate Mr Fillon, retorted: "You shouldn't pretend to be something new when you are speaking like fossils that are at least 50 years old."
Meanwhile, nationalist right-wing outsider Francois Asselineau said that he was "the only true candidate of Frexit", and promised to trigger Article 50 - the process to start the country's divorce from the EU - immediately if he were to win power.
The debate was extended to include the six minor candidates, so inevitably it is on the six minor candidates that water-cooler conversation is going to focus.
On Jean Lasalle - "son of a shepherd, brother of a shepherd" - with his impenetrable Pyrenean accent; on Francois Asselineau with his "Frexit" obsession; on the rival Trotskyites Philippe Poutou and Nathalie Arthaud with their rousing calls to punish the bosses.
Some of it was diverting, some of it was deadly serious. But after a while you realised that there were really only two people out there who were in any sense defending - more or less - the way things are. Those two are Francois Fillon and Emmanuel Macron.
Everyone else - from Marine Le Pen to the uber-Gaullist Nicolas Dupont Aignan to the firebrand of the left Jean-Luc Melenchon (as brilliant as ever on stage) - wants the rules of Europe and the economy totally rewritten.
Small wonder this first round boils down to a fight between Mr Fillon and Mr Macron. It is a fight for the chance - in round two - to stand up for the existing order against the anti-system.

Turning the topic to security, Ms Le Pen said that France had become a "university for jihadists", prompting angry interruptions from the left-wing candidates.
Most polls suggest that Ms Le Pen and Mr Macron will face each other in the two-candidate run-off for presidency on 7 May.
However, Tuesday's debate gave Mr Fillon, 63, an opportunity to close the gap on the leaders.
Mr Fillon was the frontrunner in the campaign until he was hit by the "fake jobs" scandal and placed under formal investigation. He is accused of paying hundreds of thousands of euros to his family for work they did not do.
He was trailing third in the first round, according to polls, a position which would eliminate him from the race. | French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was attacked from all sides over Europe as presidential candidates went head to head in the second live TV debate. | 39,498,654 | 772 | 30 | false |
Sandra Weir, 41, must spend a minimum of 21 years in prison before she can be considered for release.
Weir repeatedly struck pensioner Mary Logie with a rolling pin in her own home in Leven on 5 January 2016.
The 82-year-old suffered multiple skull fractures and was found with a total of 31 injuries on her head and neck.
The grandmother, also known as Rae, sustained defensive wounds as she tried to fend off her attacker.
Weir then left her victim lying seriously injured but alive for hours before returning to deliver the fatal blows, prosecutors believe.
The killing happened after Weir had been stealing significant sums of cash from the pensioner over time to fund her drug habit.
Weir was convicted of murder by a jury at the High Court in Edinburgh last month.
A family member, believed to be Mrs Logie's son Ronald, said: "Justice was served but we would have wanted more."
Judge Michael O'Grady, had previously described the manner of Mrs Logie's death as "breathtakingly wicked".
Passing sentence, he said nothing could diminish the "callous and cruel and utterly heartless" nature of the crime.
He said: "You have clearly been a troubled young woman and it may be that some of your problems have not been of your own making.
"I will not rehearse what I had to say on the occasion of your conviction. But what I said then remains true.
"And, in my view, nothing can diminish the callous and cruel and utterly heartless nature of this crime. It is beyond any meaningful mitigation."
Regular churchgoer Mrs Logie was found battered to death in the living-room of her first-floor flat in Green Gates.
She had planned to visit a friend in hospital but never turned up. She had spent Christmas with one of her sons in England not long before her death.
Weir denied murder and pleaded alibi, claiming she was elsewhere at the time.
Weir became close to Mrs Logie and acted as her unofficial carer, but she had been a drug addict since her 20s and had racked up debts.
Described by detectives as a "callous and uncaring individual", Weir regularly exploited Mrs Logie for financial gain.
Det Ch Insp Keith Hardie, of Police Scotland, said: "The level of violence inflicted upon Mary, coupled with the prolonged period of bullying and intimidation, demonstrated Weir's complete disregard for the wellbeing of her victim.
"This was a very, very brutal and horrific attack committed by a despicable individual."
Ex-England flanker Clark was involved in an incident with lock O'Callaghan in the first half of Saturday's match.
Worcester's Ryan Mills has been charged with dangerous tackling following an incident with Rory Hutchinson.

He was also sent off for head-butting in the 2008 Junior World Cup final while playing for England Under-20s.
Mrs Maguire, 61, was stabbed by student Will Cornick at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds in 2014.
Her husband Don said an investigation published this month, which said the killing could not have been prevented, "felt like the bare minimum".
The Leeds Safeguarding Children Board (LCSB) said its report was conducted by a well-qualified independent reviewer.
Mrs Maguire was killed in a classroom at the school, where she had taught for more than 40 years. She was working part-time and planned to fully retire later that same year.
Her husband told the Victoria Derbyshire programme that the review left no-one any better informed about what had happened.
Until all the the circumstances which led to his wife's death are known, he said, "it's possible that lives could be at risk in British schools".
He added: "This shouldn't be about trying to make everything seem okay and hoping it doesn't happen again.
"They're going through all this time and expense to find partial answers to these questions. If we really want to learn and protect teachers and pupils we have to know every detail of this case. "
Mr Maguire has previously called for an independent inquiry into her death.
"For a teacher to be murdered by a pupil in a classroom in the UK means it should be treated in the most serious of manners," he said.
He said the board's report should be a serious case review, but the LSCB said such reviews are only for cases where a child is the victim.
"These kind of learning lessons reviews are always done when terrible events happen, and the departments always say it could have been prevented but not predicted. It feels like they've done the bare minimum."
Mark Peel, chairman of the Leeds Safeguarding Children Board, said the review conducted into Mrs Maguire's death was "in no way less credible than a serious case review".
He added: "The independent reviewer, Nick Page, was well qualified for the role, as he's completely independent of Leeds City Council, is the chief executive of another council and has a background in education.
"If Mr Maguire wasn't happy with his appointment he could have objected to it, as he did do with the person who was initially given the role."
The Department for Education said the secretary of state could not make a decision on whether an inquiry is necessary until a coroner's inquest had concluded.
A five-day hearing is due to begin next March.
Mrs Maguire was murdered by Cornick on 28 April 2014 when he was aged 15, and was the first teacher to be killed at work in England in 18 years.
Cornick, who pleaded guilty, was given a life sentence in November 2014 and ordered to serve a minimum of 20 years in custody.

The Valhalla exhibition claims to reveal more about the life of Vikings in Britain and the Isle of Man using the latest forensic techniques.
The York Archaeological Trust display opens at Jorvik Viking Centre.
It is the result of collaborations with York Minster and Manx National Heritage (MNH). Allison Fox, of MNH, described it as "incredibly exciting".
Included in the exhibition is evidence of Viking burials across the British Isles, bringing together key findings and exploring the latest research techniques.
On show are Viking skeletons from the Hungate dig in York and the York Minster stones found in excavations carried out by York Archaeological Trust.
The trust spent five years working on the Hungate dig, revealing Viking-age cellars and the remains of a Roman cemetery.
The excavation also found a roman necklace and rare jet jewellery dating from the 3rd or 4th centuries.
Sarah Maltby, director of attractions at York Archaeological Trust, said: "Looking at this evidence, alongside artefacts found throughout the British Isles, helps tell a more accurate story of Viking Britain and our Viking ancestry."
The exhibition also tells the story of a Viking man whose remains were found in the Balladoole ship burial in the Isle of Man.
Using forensic science, researchers can tell he was a 45-year-old man who died in or around AD 950. A likeness of his face has been created using the latest facial reconstruction technology.
Mrs Fox added: "In archaeology, it's through the dead that we can recreate the living, and talking about the rites and rituals of the Vikings can go some way to understanding the people themselves.
"We can even, quite literally, put a face to the dead in the case of the Viking burial at Balladoole, here in the Isle of Man."
Also on display at Valhalla is a replica of Thorwald's Cross, one of around 200 crosses found on the Isle of Man and thought to depict the
transition of the Viking world of pagan beliefs to the introduction of Christianity
.
The first Vikings arrived from Scandinavia via the Irish Sea at the end of the 8th Century, not just to raid but also to trade along the western seaboard of the British Isles.
Warrior burials have been found in the Isle of Man, where the dead have been accompanied with the grave goods needed to serve them in the afterlife.
Boat burials have been excavated in the island at Balladoole and Knock y Doonee.
The Norse also brought with them the concept of an open-air assembly of free men where the old laws were ratified, new laws submitted for approval and judgement given on law breakers.
This took place at Tynwald Hill and the government of the Isle of Man is still known as Tynwald.
Viking sites in the Isle of Man also include The Braaid Viking farmstead and Peel Castle.
The group of 20 students and two teachers from the Holt School in Wokingham, Berkshire, were trekking in Ladakh when they became trapped.
The evacuation began on Thursday, with the trekkers airlifted in two groups by the Indian Air Force.
The school said everyone in the group was "safe and well".
The UK Foreign Office said it was providing consular assistance and was in contact with local authorities for updates.
The group, along with five local staff, had been nearing the end of a three-week expedition to India, said Adventure Lifesigns, which organises outdoor educational programmes for school groups. They had been due to return to the UK on Thursday.
They were rescued close to Leh, in the mountainous Ladakh region, which is part of Indian-administered Kashmir.
Adventure Lifesigns said the team was split into two groups to be airlifted because Ladakh is at high altitude and helicopters in the region can only carry limited numbers.
The company said a lack of light meant the helicopter could not fly the remaining group out on Thursday, but they "have subsequently been picked up and are now back in Leh town".
"Safety is paramount on all of our expeditions. At no time was any of the group in danger. After the heavy rains began, they initially camped near the swollen Markha river and waited for the rains to subside and river levels to drop," Adventure Lifesigns said in a statement on Friday.
"We were in regular contact with the team and they had adequate supplies and camping equipment. Due to their imminent return to the UK, it was decided for speed to air evacuate them back to Leh airport."
Keniesha Mills, 40, from Wokingham, Berkshire, was among those airlifted in the first group.
She said a huge cloudburst caused flash floods when they were returning from a trek on Tuesday.
Suzanne Richards, head teacher at the Holt School, said the group had been in regular contact with the school and parents to reassure and give updates.
"Every effort is now being made to secure flights home for the group," she said.
Several areas in Ladkah - a disputed territory between India and Pakistan that has attracted increasing numbers of adventure tourists in recent years - have suffered flooding in recent days.
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland has issued the advice as part of a safety message to walkers and climbers.
Most of its advice is aimed at people new to tackling Scotland's hills and mountains in winter conditions.
It said a lightweight group shelter could prove essential if a walker was injured, or the weather deteriorated.
To try and spread its safety message, the council has a programme of free talks on winter mountain skills.
Heather Morning, the council's safety adviser, said: "Shorter daylight hours, dropping temperatures and the first dusting of snow on the hills are all good indicators that it is time to think about extra kit in your rucksack.
"It's easy to get caught out after the clocks change, especially as routes will take longer than expected in winter conditions and many people will end up finishing their route in the dark - so a head torch - and spare batteries - is crucial."
She added: "Those who head to the hills with friends or as part of a group are advised to invest in a lightweight, nylon group shelter.
"This can provide a snug spot for lunch if the weather is poor and a vital refuge if someone in your party is injured and you are waiting for help to arrive."
She was staying at the Whitemare Pool Travelodge hotel, on Wednesday, when she found the message.
The hotel removed the words, apologised and gave her a refund when she informed staff.
Travelodge said it believed someone may have used the TV manufacturer's code to change the settings.
A spokesperson said there was not usually any sort of message on the hotel's TV screens.
The woman, who does not want to be identified, said Travelodge had been "great about it".
In a statement, a Travelodge spokesperson said: "We have already been in contact with the customer involved and apologised that such a message could appear."
The hotel chain said it took the incident "very seriously" and had "launched a full investigation with our television supplier".
The police are not currently involved in the inquiry, Travelodge said.
Knox missed the cut on his debut last year, but Gallacher says the 31-year-old's game is suited to the course.
"He's beaten these guys in an event in China with the same field," Gallacher said of the world number 23.
"He won't be scared of them and it wouldn't surprise me if he's in the mix on Sunday afternoon."
Gallacher played the Masters in 2014, finishing 34th, and believes it is important for players to deal with the occasion as well as the challenges of the course.
Knox tees off at 15:12 BST with America's Rickie Fowler and Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, although Gallacher says the heavy rain that interrupted Wednesday's practice could trouble his compatriot.
"Maybe the conditions, being a bit soft, might hamper him a wee bit," Gallacher told BBC Scotland.
"He's not the longest player, but he's a fantastic iron player. Form goes out the window when you play Augusta.
"It's a golf course that's a bit more generous than you think off the tee and it's down to the putting, who's the fittest, who's mentally strong at the end. There are a lot of components to Augusta."
World number one Dustin Johnson is among the favourites to win the green jacket but Gallacher believes another player from the UK could emulate Danny Willetts' victory last year.
"It's going to be a British player [who wins]," Gallacher said.
"I'd like to see Rory [McIlroy] win it, that would be him having won all four of the majors, he deserves that.
"I've got a slight inkling for Tommy Fleetwood, Paul Casey, guys who hit it high and draw the ball, because it's soft, you need a bit more length now to be hitting that one club shorter than the rest of the guys and that makes a huge difference.
"The percentages of getting it closer to the pin are greater and that's what Augusta is about, giving yourself makeable putts, rather than having to two-putt from 40 feet all the time."
Gallacher will watch events at Augusta with interest, before competing at the Trophee Hassan II in Morocco next week.
Having altered his swing technique during the winter, the 42-year-old is confident he can have a productive campaign.
"I go to Morocco on Monday, then straight to China after that for two weeks, then it's back to the PGA at Wentworth," he added.
"I've been through a good swing change and I'm feeling good about my game. I'm really looking forward to getting out.
"I'm hitting the ball better than I've ever hit it and I feel less stress in my body. I'm feeling great and I can't wait to get going."
The searches took place on Wednesday.
Police said a quantity of Class A, Class B and Class C controlled drugs were seized.
Two 24-year-old men have been arrested.
A report by the Audit Office also reveals that it costs £324,000 a year to keep a young person in custody.
The report says repeat offenders are responsible for 72% of all youth crime and disorder.
Violence against the person, theft, criminal damage, and public order offences are the most common crimes.
Following the report, the Commissioner for Children and Young People in Northern Ireland said the criminal justice system needed to be overhauled.
The report says a new strategy is needed to deal with young offenders who repeatedly commit crimes.
The Youth Justice Agency is the organisation responsible for dealing with children aged 10-17 who have offended, or are at serious risk of offending.
The audit office report, Managing Children Who Offend, examines the cost of youth crime, and what is being done to try to reduce it.
It says the agency spent £17.4m and employed 277 staff last year.
Kieran Donnelly, the Comptroller and Auditor General, concludes that the agency and the Department of Justice "cannot currently demonstrate that the interventions to reduce re-offending by young people represent value for money."
Custody for young people in Northern Ireland is provided at the Woodlands Juvenile Justice Centre in Bangor, County Down.
Last year, 163 young people passed through the centre, some of them multiple times.
The majority were persistent offenders, or young people on remand waiting to go to court.
There are currently 26 children held there. The youngest of them is 14.
The audit office says that while the number of first-time offences committed by children has been falling in recent years, the rate of re-offending has been rising.
According to the most recent figures available, for the year 2013-14, the re-offending rate for young people released from custody was 89%.
That means 31 out of every 35 of those released commit another offence within a year.
The most prolific 1% of young offenders accounts for about 13% of all incidents.
The report says children looked after in care homes are about five times more likely to become involved with the justice system than those outside the care system.
It reveals that around one third of all those admitted to the juvenile justice centre are from care backgrounds.
The report also examines the effectives of alternatives to custody.
Youth conferencing, often referred to as restorative justice, is aimed at giving young offenders the opportunity to understand and make amends to their victims for the consequences of their offending, and to take steps to stop future crime.
It involves victims, the young person's family, the police, the community, and supporters to reach an agreed decision.
The audit office reveals that during the year 2013-14, more than half of young offenders dealt with through community orders re-offended.
"Youth conferencing has a central role in the response to youth crime," the report states.
"Although regarded well internationally, it has not been demonstrated that youth conferencing has reduced re-offending in Northern Ireland."
It says "earlier assertions that youth conferencing has been a success are not necessarily supported by subsequent evidence."
The report says there is a need for a strategic review of how current arrangements for dealing with child offenders are working.
The Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People, Koulla Yiasouma, said there is a lack of focus and loss of momentum in how children who offend are dealt with.
She said: "The NIAO report clearly shows that the current system's interventions and services are not effectively tackling offending and reoffending and is not therefore delivering for these children and young people.
"We now need urgent and sustained action from government following today's report and we expect departments to fulfil their duties under the Children's Services Co-operation Act, which requires them to work together in the best interests of children.
"I am pleased to see some of my previous advice to the department echoed in the recommendations of this report."
Vivian McConvey, chief executive of the charity VOYPIC (Voice of Young People in Care) said: "For several years, reviews and reports have indicated flaws and inefficiencies in a system which responds to some of the most vulnerable and complex young people in our society.
"The lack of urgency and pace to redress these issues is at best frustrating and, at worst, of grave concern.
"The evidence that custody is not used as a last resort for young offenders continues to frustrate me and others who seek to protect the best interests of this group of vulnerable young people.
"We should learn from the experience of others and from what young people tell us and introduce interventions with proven impact."
While the island has produced the last two men's champions - Peter Kennaugh and Mark Cavendish - it has not hosted the event for more than 30 years.
It is not yet known who will rival the Isle of Man's bid, which has the full backing of the Manx government.
British Cycling said the winner will be announced on or before 20 March.
Isle of Man Cycling Association (IoMCA) chairman Richard Fletcher said its bid had been met with "huge enthusiasm".
He said: "A successful bid would enhance the island's reputation as a world-class cycling destination which is able to stage world- class sporting events."
The island has a rich cycling history, having staged Britain's biggest festival - International Cycle Week - for almost 70 years until 2003.
The Isle of Man has also recently held the Commonwealth Youth Games and annually hosts the TT motorcycle races which attract more than 40,000 fans.
This year eight Manx cyclists were selected for the Great Britain Olympic Development squad, including former winners Kennaugh and Cavendish.
Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly said: "It would be incredible to watch our British and Olympic champions race on home soil.
He added: "An annual cycling festival would be a lasting legacy of this event and would no doubt inspire future generations.
"It would also prove an economic engine for tourism."
According to Isle of Man Tourism, the event - which would incorporate the TT course and utilise the event's infrastructure - has the potential to attract more than 15,000 spectators.
The 2015 event will be held in Lincolnshire in June.
The Englishman, 36, was pipped to the Masters title by Sergio Garcia in a dramatic play-off earlier this month.
"I'm excited about going back to the Irish Open," said Rose, who won the US Open in 2013.
"Irish fans are always a lot of fun to play in front of, it's always good 'craic' out there!"
The nine-time European Tour winner will be playing on Northern Irish soil for the first time in his professional career in the 6-9 July tournament.
Rose has been a permanent fixture in the top 20 of world rankings for over five years.
"We'll all enjoy the tournament and it's obviously great preparation for the Open Championship too," he added.
"I think it's very good to get some links golf under your belt before the Open.
"Playing the Scottish Open the week before is a great idea, and also playing two weeks before is great because you can have a week before to fine tune.
"The fact that we have these options running into the Open is fantastic and they are top quality events which will hopefully attract not just the top European players, but maybe some players from across the pond in the USA as well."
Not since 2010, when TP Mazembe beat Esperance of Tunisia 5-0, has a club built such an emphatic first leg lead in the final.
Anthony Laffor and Tebogo Langerman made it 2-0 at half-time, with the third coming just after the break.
Sundowns are now firm favourites for the second leg in Alexandria where they will seek to win their first continental trophy and become only the second South African side to win Africa's top club prize.
Sundowns, watched by a capacity 40 000 crowd, were full value for the win, running Zamalek ragged on a hot afternoon.
But they did take their foot off the pedal in the closing stages where Zamalek gamely kept going in search of a consolation that might give them a chance in the return.
Sundowns scored first just past the half-hour mark when captain Hlompho Kekana played through a pin-point pass that saw Liberian international Laffor turn and then belt the ball with power.
Laffor has not been a regular for the team but emerged as coach Pitso Mosimane's 'joker' in the Champions League with vital contributions.
The second goal was a cross from fullback Langerman nine minutes later that caught Ahmed El Shenawy off his line and bounced in off the upright.
It had a touch of luck about it but was as much as the home team deserved.
Straight after the break Sundowns were on the attack again and Percy Tau's shot was headed goalwards when Islam Gamal helped steer it into his own net.
Zamalek had also conceded an own-goal when they lost to Sundowns at the same venue in the group phase.
Bassem Morsi came closest to pulling one back for the Egyptians in the last 20 minutes but his shot was blocked by Wayne Arendse, who was the only payer booked in the game and will miss the return leg.
Zamalek lost El Shenawy to a thigh injury and the reserve goalkeeper Mahmoud Genesh had to come in for the final stages, making one key stop to deny Tau on the final whistle.
Despite their 3-0 lead, Mosimane was cautious at the final whistle.
"We need to keep our feet on the ground, I've been in football for long.
"Zamalek scored four against Wydad in Alexandria in the semifinals. If we don't think they can get four against us, we'll be kidding ourselves. It's not over," warned the Sundowns coach.
If Sundowns lift the trophy next weekend, it will complete a remarkable turnaround in this competition for the South African club. They were knocked out in an early qualifying round by AS Vita Club, only to be brought back in when Vita Club were disqualified for fielding an ineligible player.
The second leg in Alexandria takes place on Sunday 23 October.

Citizens of Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania are currently denied visa-free access to the US.
The European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution on Thursday.
However, member states would have to approve the move, a process that could take years.
Nevertheless, the resolution, passed by a show of hands, said the new visa rules should come into effect quickly and should remain in place until the US visa requirements were shelved.
A European Parliament statement said the EU Commission was legally obliged to temporarily reintroduce the new visa rules because of its reciprocity policy.
The end of American exceptionalism?

Trump travel ban: Pre-clearance and why it matters
Under these rules, "if a third country does not lift its visa requirements within 24 months of being notified of non-reciprocity, the EU Commission must adopt a delegated act... suspending the visa waiver for its nationals for 12 months", the statement said.
It said a notification of non-reciprocity was first received in April 2014 - meaning the Commission should have taken action in April 2016 - but so far it has yet to do so.
Canada also has visa requirements for Bulgarian and Romanian citizens, the statement said, but it has announced that these will be shelved in December.
In January, President Donald Trump attempted to introduce a travel ban on people from seven mainly Muslim nations but it was blocked in the courts. He is working on a new executive order.

But what should worry us are the reasons why the most powerful central bank in the world has decided to do nothing: "Economic growth was relatively weak late last year and even this year," said Fed Chair Janet Yellen.
Or in other words, the US and world economies are in a far more precarious situation today than they were just a few months ago when the US first started raising interest rates.
That's not good news.
It means that even after an unprecedented run of letting global economies run on low interest rates, the world isn't ready yet to be weaned off its addiction to cheap cash.
Why should Asia care?
Well, we were some of the biggest beneficiaries of that cheap cash.
When US rates were low, a record amount of foreign funds found their way into risky Asian assets like the Indonesian stock market and the Malaysian currency.
The cheap money and low interest rate environment also made it easier for Asian companies to borrow money and expand their businesses, and for Asian consumers to borrow money and buy property.
That led to over-inflated assets in Asia - stock price valuations, currencies and property prices all soared thanks to the funds from overseas, and Asia enjoyed a decade of plenty thanks to all this cheap cash.
But low interest rates aren't normal. They artificially inflate the price of goods, and just make things seem better than they are.
The US Fed signalled that 2016 is the year when the party will have to end, and we will have to go back to normal.
And yet here we are, halfway through the year and all we have had is one rate rise.
It's no wonder investors are anxious and confused. No-one can quite make sense of what's going on in the global economy, because the risks keep changing.
First, it was China's slowdown that stopped the US Fed from raising rates earlier this year. Now it's Brexit - the possibility of the UK leaving the EU - that's one of the factors rattling the Fed.
All of this uncertainty is leading to flight to safe havens, and here in Asia that means the Japanese yen is strengthening.
But a strong yen makes it harder for Japanese companies to sell their goods overseas, and that's threatening Japan's economic recovery.
That's putting pressure on Japanese authorities to intervene in the currency markets - but they can't do it too aggressively because they risk being accused of manipulating their currency by their G7 partners.
Well, the officials at the US Fed have indicated at least one rate rise is on the cards sometime this year, and possibly another one depending on the global outlook.
But Ms Yellen also warned that rates will only increase gradually in the future, and even if they do go up they will stay low by historical standards.
The global economy isn't out of the woods yet, not by a long shot.
Parts of Asia may be in a better economic position than the US or Europe, but Asia can't shrug off what's going on elsewhere because we are all increasingly connected.
Investors face more uncertainty ahead.
Denbighshire council says an estimated £1m of repairs are needed at the North Wales Hospital which closed in Denbigh in 1995.
Since then the buildings have been looted, vandalised and damaged by fire.
The authority voted to press ahead with a CPO last September on owner Freemont (Denbigh) Ltd and the action has now been taken.
It first had to satisfy the Welsh government that there is a reasonable likelihood of the listed building being restored, using funds from the sell-off of housing land.
The Grade II listed psychiatric hospital closed as part of a reorganisation of health services.
Since closing, the hospital's condition has deteriorated and last year it was revealed the bill to carry out emergency repairs at the former hospital had reached £930,000.
Freemont had planned to build up to 280 homes, businesses and community facilities on the site, with the redevelopment enabling the original listed buildings to be restored.
However, the planning consent expired in 2009.
A non-profit North Wales Building Preservation Trust has been established to take over the site.
The Trust will manage the restoration of the main buildings by progressing enabling development on the associated land, the profit from which will fund the restoration of the most important listed buildings and the demolition of a number of less important buildings.
Councillor David Smith, the council's cabinet lead member for public realm, said: "The time has now come to take that important step and we hope the owners comply with the order, so that we can work with our partners to protect this valuable historic building."
The woman was taken to hospital after the blaze at Redburn, Bonhill, at about 03:00 on Tuesday.
Officers said the fire was being treated as wilful after a joint investigation between the police and fire service.
Inquiries are continuing and police have appealed for witnesses.
Zoe Quinn said abuse online was seen as less serious than in the "real world".
She said her group, Crash Override, helped people to prevent attacks online, as well as to deal with them when they did arise.
Caroline Criado-Perez, herself a victim of online abuse, said she would have "loved" such a service.
"I am grateful to her on behalf of women who are going to go through this and who cannot protect themselves. A lot of people are not internet-savvy, but their abusers are," she said.
Zoe Quinn became the target of harassment after details of her private life were released online by an ex-boyfriend.
It was claimed that she had had a relationship with a gaming journalist, sparking what became known as Gamergate.
Its adherents said the movement was about journalistic ethics. Others said the most common targets for abuse were women and that it was a front for misogyny, which many Gamergaters denied.
In October last year, Ms Quinn told the BBC that she was keeping a file containing the names of women she said had left the gaming industry as a result of the abuse.
And, while she had seen women being attacked online before, she said, Gamergate had been "the straw that broke the camel's back", convincing her to set up the help group Crash Override, which is being run with games producer Alex Lifschitz.
"There's websites that are institutions to perpetuating this kind of online mob abuse, so it's not like this is new," she told the BBC.
Both she and Ms Criado-Perez, who was targeted after campaigning to put a picture of Jane Austen on £10 notes, agreed that there was a damaging perception that online abuse was less severe than that occurring in the "real world".
They also said that many law enforcement agencies did not understand the technology involved.
Ms Quinn said Crash Override monitored sites online where people were known to gather to coordinate attacks.
She pointed to one case in which she said her group of volunteers - all of whom have been victims of similar attacks and have asked to remain anonymous - had been able to warn police that an attack was being planned.
She said that a "swatting" - where a call is made to police in the hope that they will send officers to the target's house - had been in the offing. As a result, she said, officers had been able to "de-escalate" the situation.
Ms Quinn said that she first began gathering intelligence on how mobs of people grouped together online to harass their targets when she was being attacked herself.
She said that others had described such similarities in the tactics used against them that it had become clear the attacks were systematic and coordinated. That, she said, allowed the group of volunteers to "map" expected attacks.
The journalist Andrew Todd said he had been able to watch people "discuss how best to ruin my life" on a message board after writing an article critical of the Gamergate movement.
"It's a very violating thing having your whole identity get pored over," he told the BBC.
He said that Crash Override had advised him on how to secure his online accounts, to inform the police of any potential threats and prevent any further attacks. He said it had also provided him with emotional support.
The group is not seeking any funding but acknowledged its resources would limit its capabilities.
It was providing its service free to anyone who feared becoming a victim of an online mob, particularly those seeking to "dox" them - or release their most personal details online, Ms Quinn said.
Other groups offer services for people who feel they are being harassed, but few focus specifically on coordinated attacks by online mobs. Get Safe Online, for example, said it had been studying the issue but had not yet launched a specialised service.
Brierley, who signed from Championship side Leigh Centurions in March, had never crossed in the top flight before.
Wigan tries from Anthony Gelling, John Bateman and Matty Smith made it 18-18.
Smith and Danny Brough swapped drop-goals before Smith landed a second one-pointer and Dan Sarginson's score sent the Warriors to the summit.
Shaun Wane's Wigan moved two points clear of Warrington and Catalans, although for so long it appeared that the visitors would register two successive wins for the first time in 2016 and move off the foot of the table.
Brierley's hat-trick was high in quality - Leroy Cudjoe's break set up his first, while his second was created by Brough's superb grubber kick.
After Huddersfield had been pegged back to 12-12 by Bateman's close-range score, some free-flowing handling gave Brierley a free run to the line - a try scored while team-mate Nathan Mason was in the sin-bin.
The final 10 minutes became a drop-goal contest between half-backs Smith and Brough, and Wigan forged a crucial one-point lead before England international Sarginson raced over in the dying seconds to clinch a thrilling victory.
Defeat for Huddersfield, who have been beaten in 10 of their 12 Super League games this season, was further soured by the loss of centre Jake Connor to a serious-looking ankle injury just before half-time.
Wigan: Sarginson; Charnley, Gelling, Gildart, Tierney; Gregson, Smith; Mossop, Powell, Flower, Bateman, Isa, Sutton.
Replacements: Clubb, Tautai, Burke, Wells.
Huddersfield: Brierley; McGillvary, Cudjoe, Connor, Murphy; Brough, Wood; Johnson, Hinchcliffe, Huby, Wardle, Ta'ai, Lawrence.
Replacements: Rapira, Leeming, Mason, Roberts.
Referee: Joe Cobb
Once completed, the deal will see Micron become the world's second-largest maker of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips.
These chips are key components of personal computers.
Elpida had filed for bankruptcy protection in February after being unable to repay debts of 448bn yen.
"We are creating the industry-leading pure-play memory company," said Mark Durcan chief executive of Micron Technology.
Mr Durcan added that the deal will help strengthen the combined companies' market position "through increased research and development and manufacturing scale" and "improved access to core memory market segments".
The deal will also see Micron get the ownership of Elpida's 65% stake in Rexchip Electronics, a joint venture between Elpida and Powerchip Technology.
Rexchip, which also makes DRAM memory chips, has manufacturing facilities in Japan and Taiwan.
Micron said that output from Elpida and Rexchip factories could increase its current manufacturing capacity by almost 50%.
"We've always had deep requirements for additional capacity and this puts us in great shape to respond to that," said Mark Adams, president of Micron.
At the same time, analysts said that given the high cost involved in setting up chip manufacturing units, Micron had acquired the Japanese rival for a fraction of the price it would need to invest to build similar infrastructure.
"We estimate this manufacturing capability would cost roughly $6bn - $8bn if built new," said Kevin Cassidy an analyst at Stifel.
DRAM chips manufacturers have been going through a rough patch in recent times due to falling prices and slowing demand.
While Elpida filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year, Micron posted a net loss of $224m in the three months to 1 March, compared with a profit of $72m a year earlier.
The traditional DRAM chips are used in personal computers, the demand for which has been falling amid growing popularity of smartphones and tablet PCs.
Those gadgets mostly use NAND memory chips and that has hurt DRAM chip makers.
However, Micron said Elpida had "built a strong presence in Mobile DRAM", chips targeted at mobile phones and tablet PCs, which should help it cater to growing demand from the sector.
At the same time, analysts added that Micron may be able to use Elpida's manufacturing facilities to diversify its product range.
"They have bought ability for increased flexibility on how they expand future capacity," said Doug Freedman an analyst with NBC Capital Markets.
The 21-year-old local man was in the front seat of a BMW 318 which crashed with another car on the A281 north of Cowfold on Saturday.
He was flown to St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London, where he died from his injuries.
The car crashed with a VW Polo between Cowfold and the A281 junction with Picts Lane.
Three people trapped in the cars were freed by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.
The two drivers, both women in their 20s, were taken by ambulance to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, with serious injuries.
Sussex Police have renewed their appeal for any witnesses to the crash to come forward.
The pumped storage hydro (PSH) scheme would be constructed at Glenmuckloch near Kirkconnel.
The final decision on the 400MW scheme - led by Buccleuch Estates and 2020 Renewables - will be made by the Scottish government.
However, the local authority has fully endorsed the project.
Planning committee vice chairman Jim Dempster, who is a councillor in Upper Nithsdale, said he believed it would be a real boost for the area.
"I think in terms of the local economy it is hugely significant," he said.
"And, indeed, in terms of energy production it is a very innovative method of producing electricity and something that the local community will be enthusiastic about."
He said the use of the site could be seen in some ways as a continuation of its role in energy production.
"Being new technology it is hugely important that we embrace that," he added.
"It will provide new skills, long-term employment and it will be of huge benefit to the community locally."
It has been claimed that the system could generate power for more than a century.
The developers have said the construction phase of up to six years will support many jobs and generate tens of million of pounds for the local economy.
Eric Garner, 43. died in July after being placed in a chokehold as police arrested him for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes.
The march was led by the Rev Al Sharpton and relatives of Mr Garner.
He died weeks before black teenager Michael Brown was killed in Missouri.
The 18-year-old was shot dead on 9 August after being stopped by a police officer for walking in the street in the St Louis suburb of Ferguson.
The killing sparked days of protest culminating in the deployment of the National Guard, which was withdrawn on Friday.
Some of the protesters in New York displayed banners saying "Black lives matter" while others demanded justice in the cases of both Mr Garner and Mr Brown, as a large police contingent looked on.
Some shops were closed for the day on Saturday, amid fears the protest could turn violent as happened in Ferguson earlier this week.
But civil rights activist Mr Sharpton repeatedly warned demonstrators that such action would not be tolerated. He said that Mr Garner's death was a defining moment for police nationwide.
In the event protesters filed peacefully past the spot where Mr Garner was held to the ground by police as the marchers processed towards the the Staten Island prosecutor's office.
"We will prevail," the black reverend - who was accompanied by Mr Garner's widow and several of his children - told the crowd. "They will not cry alone."
The demonstrators demanded the prosecution of Daniel Pantaleo, the suspended police officer who arrested Mr Garner. Some chanted "Hands up, don't shoot" - the slogan often used by the Ferguson demonstrators.
A New York grand jury is considering criminal charges against Mr Pantaleo.
Mr Garner, who had asthma, was heard on a witness video shouting "I can't breathe!" as police arrested him.
A medical examiner has ruled his death a homicide.
However, the New York City medical examiner's office said other factors contributed to his death included asthma and heart disease.
Mr Garner's death provoked an outcry, especially after a video of Officer Pantaleo placing him in a chokehold became public.
Chokeholds are banned by the New York Police Department and Commissioner William Bratton has ordered an internal review of training.
He said she was a resident of Hong Kong, and reports there suggest she was Vivian Chan. The Foreign Office would not confirm the name.
A school where Ms Chan studied said she was a "tremendous role model".
Britons have not been advised against visiting Bangkok, but they have been told to "take extra care".
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "Deeply saddened to hear a British national was killed in the horrific Bangkok bombing. My thoughts are with her family & all those affected."
Nine foreigners were among those killed in the attack at the Erawan Hindu shrine. More than 120 people were injured.
Thai police have released images of a suspect they want to question.
Reports suggest Ms Chan was 19 and had been studying law in the UK.
The Harrow International School Hong Kong said people there were "deeply saddened" by Ms Chan's death.
In a statement, the school said: "Vivian was a cherished member of the school's first cohort of leavers in June 2014.
"She was a tremendous role model in and a hugely committed, caring and supportive member of our school community; she will be sorely missed.
"The school has been in contact with Vivian's family to express its most sincere condolences on her passing and is co-ordinating condolence and support arrangements for its students, alumnae, teachers and parents."
Mr Hammond called the bomb attack a "callous act of violence against completely innocent and unsuspecting members of the public".
He said: "My thoughts are with the victims, their families and loved ones, and with the Thai people.
"Foreign Office officials are in close contact with the Thai authorities and have offered UK assistance in the investigation of this abhorrent act."
Thai government spokesman Maj Gen Weerachon Sukhontapatipak said no motive was being ruled out, but that the bomber did not appear to be Thai and the attack was "quite different" from previous bombings by southern Thai insurgents.
Referee Craig Joubert penalised Scotland for deliberate offside in the last minute at Twickenham.
World Rugby regulations only permit the TMO to rule on foul play, or whether tries or kicks at goal are legitimate.
But Cotter said a TMO referral "would have taken away any doubt".
At the final whistle, Joubert ran for the tunnel without shaking hands with the players, which former Scotland full-back Gavin Hastings said was "the worst thing I have seen on a rugby field in a very long time".
Asked about the uproar among supporters and commentators, Cotter said: "I think there's going to be a lot of emotion over this game.
"Everyone will have their opinion and we appreciate their support."
Peter Horne, Tommy Seymour and Mark Bennett crossed for Scotland, with Adam Ashley-Cooper, Drew Mitchell (twice), Michael Hooper and Tevita Kuridrani doing likewise for the Wallabies.
Cotter praised his players for their effort in running one of the tournament favourites so close.
"I feel sorry for the group of players that have come off the field," he said. "They came very close, put in a great performance, so I feel for them and, when the emotion's gone, we'll sit back and analyse it.
"They threw everything at it, absolutely. It was a brave performance; they showed courage, character and, most of all, they showed belief. They were going for it.
"That'll get lodged into the hard drives and hopefully that'll prepare us for the next time we have to put the jersey on."
Captain Greig Laidlaw said it was "probably the toughest defeat I have ever had to take".
The scrum-half, who kicked 19 points, added: "We put so much into the game for 80 minutes. I am gutted to lose and to lose in that manner as well.
"If there was any doubt, to go to the TMO would have taken any doubt away.
"We have to look at ourselves as well, we picked up a yellow card and overthrew that line-out as well, so it's something we could have controlled."
Former Scotland full-back Gavin Hastings: "If I see referee Craig Joubert again, I am going to tell him how disgusted I am. That is the worst thing I have seen on a rugby field in a very long time. He is not prepared to face up to the players. That is not rugby and that is not the spirit of rugby.
"What he has done, he's done not only himself the greatest disservice but he's done rugby a great disservice. He should be sent home tomorrow, he should be punished and he should not be allowed to make an international refereeing commitment again."
Former Scotland winger Kenny Logan: "The referee has had a shocker. Referees shouldn't have a bad game when they've got a TMO. The yellow card was never a yellow card. It was never a penalty, it was a knock-on.
"At the end of the game, he ran down the tunnel like a scared rabbit because he made a ridiculous decision and, for me, he's ruined a perfect game of rugby because his inept attitude to using the TMO.
"The performance for me from the Scotland was different class going forward. I'm absolutely devastated for the boys."

The former Labour prime minister said the UK would be "out in the cold" if it withdrew from the 28-member bloc.
David Cameron has promised an in/out referendum on Britain's membership of the EU if the Conservatives win in May.
The Conservatives said comparing the UK to North Korea showed a "perverted sense of reality".
Speaking in an adjournment debate in the House of Commons, in what is likely to prove his last speech in the Commons before he steps down in May, the former prime minister said the government's stance had marginalised Britain in the EU.
Addressing MPs, Mr Brown said he acknowledged the "strength of anti-European sentiment" in the country but argued that it was a "delusion" to believe that "retreating" from Europe would not have serious economic repercussions.
He suggested the right in British politics had launched a "culture war" over the issue of Europe and immigration which needed to be challenged, specifically the argument that "to be patriotic we must reject Europe in favour of Britain".
"Our destiny can never be to be some bit player on somebody's else stage," he said. "The England that glories in isolation is not the England I know and love."
Mr Brown said the UK was "weaker than ever" in the EU and had been fringe players on international issues such as the Greek crisis, climate change and Ukraine.
Under Mr Cameron's plans, the referendum on the EU would take place in 2017 after a period of renegotiation of the UK's terms of membership.
Labour has said it would not offer such a referendum unless there was a significant shift of power away from London to Brussels.
Writing earlier in the Guardian, Mr Brown said: "We must tell the truth about the three million jobs, 25,000 companies, £200bn of annual exports and the £450bn of inward investment linked to Europe; and how the 'Britzerland' or Norwegian alternatives (even Norwegians oppose the Norwegian option) leave us subject to EU rules, but denied a vote in shaping them.
"And we must talk about how the Hong Kong option - 'leaving Europe to join the world' - is really the North Korea option, out in the cold with few friends, no influence, little new trade and even less new investment."
He said the UK was on course to overtake Germany as Europe's biggest economy in a decade, and it would not make sense to withdraw from the bloc now.
"It would be a terrible irony if Britain opts out, leaving Europe divided, Russia empowered, the US bypassing us for a Franco-German axis - and Scotland threatening to abandon a non-European UK."
The Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath MP argued that Britain's future lay within the European Union, saying it was the country's "true patriotic course" to lead it.
Replying for the government in the Commons, Business Minister Matthew Hancock said UK would maintain its influence through the "steadfast pursuit of our national interest" rather than "subordinating our goals" within those of a supranational organisation.
He said it was right that the British people had the final say on the UK's future in Europe.
Mr Brown's remarks have been met with criticism by some commentators, in particular his comparison between the UK and North Korea.
John Rentoul, Independent on Sunday columnist, said Mr Brown had weakened his argument with "exaggeration".
But the New Statesman's political editor, George Eaton, said that beyond the hyperbolic North Korea comparison "there is much wisdom" in the former PM's argument.
Mr Cameron wants to renegotiate Britain's membership of the EU if he remains prime minister after May, to win back powers in areas such as welfare and immigration - and put it to a public vote.
Labour has said the prospect of an EU exit is creating uncertainty and risk for British businesses.
The party has said it will only sanction a referendum if further powers are handed from the UK to Brussels requiring a fundamental change to existing treaties.
The Liberal Democrats remain committed to staying in the EU, while the UK Independence Party wants Britain to leave.
Koeman posted a photo on Twitter of the trip to Donegal, reporting full-back Coleman as looking positive and strong.
Coleman, 28, suffered a broken leg in a tackle with Wales defender Neil Taylor during a World Cup qualifying match in Dublin on 25 March.
Koeman's photo showed Coleman wearing a protective boot on his right leg.
The player needed surgery on his fibula and tibia after the match at the Aviva Stadium, which ended in a 0-0 draw.
Aston Villa player Taylor was sent off for the challenge.
On Sunday, Everton supporters displayed a banner with a message of support for Coleman during the Premier League match against Leicester City at Goodison Park.
"Seamus is positive and he is feeling strong," Koeman told Everton's website.
"He is really grateful for the messages he has received from Everton fans and from people all over the world.
"Before he comes back to start his rehabilitation, he will spend up to 10 more days at home in Killybegs before starting out on his recovery from the injury."
Actress and co-writer Ruth Jones and comedian Rob Brydon were among the mourners along with other cast members.
Co-star and writer James Corden said John, from Swansea, was an "incredible lady" who "will be sadly missed".
A private funeral service was held at Morriston crematorium for the actress who played Doris in the TV comedy.
Larry Lamb, from EastEnders, and Master and Commander star Robert Pugh were also among the 150 mourners.
John, who received a Bafta Cymru lifetime achievement award in 2009, was a widow who had no children.
Her ashes will be scattered over Swansea Bay by the crew of the Mumbles Lifeboat.
Although known in recent years for her colourful one-liners in Barry-based Gavin and Stacey, the actress had a long and distinguished career, leaving drama school in 1950.
Her earlier career included a brief spell in Coronation Street in 1965 as well as a role in Z Cars, Dr Who, Dixon of Dock Green and Emmerdale Farm.
John also starred in David Schwimmer's British film comedy Run Fatboy Run (2007), and enjoyed recent appearances in medical dramas Casualty and Doctors, and the BBC drama Framed.
She played the part of Elsie 'Mam' Hepplewhite in BBC Wales comedy High Hopes between 2002 and 2008, starring alongside Robert Blythe and Boyd Clack.
Janet Muller, 21, a German national studying at the University of Brighton, was discovered in the charred Volkswagen Jetta on 13 March.
Christopher Jeffrey-Shaw, of Beckenham, south London, who denies murder, admitted setting fire to the car.
But he told Guildford Crown Court he did not know she was in the boot.
The prosecution alleges Miss Muller was beaten and then put in the car boot alive, before dying in the fire.
Mr Jeffrey-Shaw said he had been mixed up with drug dealers.
On the day of the fire, he visited a house in Crawley where there were two men and a woman, who he assumed was Miss Muller.
He said the two men borrowed the hire car for a robbery but it went wrong.
When they returned 45 minutes later there was no sign of Miss Muller but the men had blood on their clothes and they ordered him to burn the car and dump it, otherwise he would be shot.
He admitted he bought the fuel and a jerry can from a petrol station in Three Bridges, Crawley and drove the vehicle to a quiet spot.
After the car went up in flames he said he remembered his bag and trainers were in the boot.
"It was then I saw what looked like a dead body," he said.
"It sounds silly but I just froze.
"Adrenaline - fear - washed over me.
"I thought of my children, I panicked, I looked guilty."
The court has heard that after setting fire to the Jetta, Mr Jeffrey-Shaw ordered a taxi from a nearby hotel using a false name and returned home.
The burnt-out car was found dumped near Ifield Golf Club near Horsham, West Sussex.

He won 61.8% of the vote, a larger margin of victory than last year.
He vowed to bring Labour back together, saying "we have much more in common than divides us", insisting the party could win the next election as the "engine of progress" in the country.
More than half a million party members, trade unionists and registered supporters voted in the contest.
In a result announced on the eve of Labour's party conference in Liverpool, Mr Corbyn won 313,209 votes, compared with Mr Smith's 193,229.
Speaking to the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg after his victory, Mr Corbyn said the debate about who led the party was "now over" and Labour needed to take its message on the economy, education and the NHS to the country.
Asked what steps he would take to reconcile critical MPs, he said some form of elections to the shadow cabinet were "absolutely in the mix" although he declined to rule out the possible deselection of sitting MPs in the run-up to the next election.
"I think you will see a lot of changes over the next few weeks," he said.
"They (MPs) have no need to worry at all because it is all about democracy. We are all democratically accountable to our party and to our constituents. They have no need to worry at all. I am reaching out."

Victory will be sweet - not just because it is a confirmation of his remarkable support among thousands upon thousands of members around the country.
It is Mr Corbyn's second defeat of the Labour establishment, who many of his supporters believe have tried to undermine the leader consistently over the last 12 months.
They talk of a "surge in the purge" as the leadership contest progressed - party officials vetting and checking new supporters who had registered to vote.
There are claims that Labour HQ deliberately threw Corbyn supporters off the voting lists to reduce the size of his victory. Corbyn supporters believe many MPs have done nothing in the past year other than try to damage his leadership and today they will be shown to have failed badly in their attempt to oust him.

In his acceptance speech, Mr Corbyn said he was "honoured" to have been elected in a contest that followed months of tension with many Labour MPs and urged people to "respect the democratic choice that has been made".
Addressing supporters, Mr Corbyn said he and his opponents were part of the "same Labour family" and everyone needed to focus their energy "on exposing and defeating the Tories".
"We have much more in common than divides us," he said. "Let us wipe that slate clean from today and get on with the work that we have to do as a party," he said.
Recognising that the election had been "partisan", he condemned online abuse of Labour MPs and supporters which he said "demeaned and corroded" the party.
Mr Smith, who had previously ruled out returning to the front bench, said he respected the result and the onus was on Mr Corbyn to "heal divisions and unite our movement".
"Jeremy has won the contest," he said. "He now has to win the country and he will have my support in trying to do so."
Mr Corbyn was first elected Labour leader in September 2015, when he beat three other candidates and got 59.5% of the vote.
Turnout was higher this time around, with 77.6% of the 654,006 eligible party members, trade union members and registered supporters - 506,438 in total - confirmed as taking part.
Mr Corbyn won comfortably in each of the three categories - winning the support of 59% of party members, 70% of registered supporters and 60% of affiliated supporters.
Despite winning the leadership in a vote of the wider membership and registered supporters last year Mr Corbyn, who spent three decades as part of a marginalised leftwing group of Labour MPs in Parliament, has never had the support of more than about 20% of Labour's MPs.
And the contest came about after more than 170 MPs supported a motion of no confidence in their leader - that confidence vote came after dozens quit his shadow cabinet and other frontbench roles.
There has been speculation that a number of critical Labour MPs could return in an attempt to heal the divisions over the party's future direction although a number are only prepared to do so if elections to the shadow cabinet - which were scrapped in 2011 in favour of the leader picking his own team - are reinstated.
Sources have told the BBC that there was a brief discussion of the issue at a meeting of Labour's ruling National Executive Committee on Saturday evening but no conclusions were reached and none are likely this week.
Saturday's result was welcomed by leading trade unions while Momentum - the campaign group spawned by Mr Corbyn's victory last year - hailed it as a "fantastic win".
Shadow health secretary Diane Abbott, a key ally of the leader, said opponents of Mr Corbyn had "thrown everything but the kitchen sink" at him.
"It was a hard campaign but the membership came out for Jeremy because they realised he had not been given a chance and had been treated unfairly," she said.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said it was up to Mr Corbyn's critics to decide whether they wanted to serve under him, insisting he wanted "unity and stability" and there was a "way we can accommodate everybody".
Labour MP Chuku Umunna said the "leadership issue was settled" and Mr Corbyn, through his re-election, was the party's "candidate to be prime minister".
Former leader Ed Miliband said it was "time to unite and focus on the country".
But Labour MP Louise Ellman said Mr Corbyn must appeal to more than his "cheering fans" and the public at large weren't "impressed with him and that needs to change".
"It's no good being surrounded by people who already agree with you. That is not enough."
The Conservatives said Mr Corbyn's re-election would not end the "bitter power struggle" within the opposition.
"172 Labour MPs don't think Jeremy Corbyn can lead the Labour Party - so how can he lead the country?" said party chairman Patrick McLoughlin.
The Lib Dems said Mr Corbyn was an "ineffectual leader" who had failed to stand up for the national interest during the EU referendum.
The Green Party was more conciliatory, offering the leader their congratulations.
"We look forward to working with Jeremy to oppose the Conservatives and to bring about a progressive government at the next election," said co-leader Caroline Lucas.

Ahead of a party conference in Eastbourne, he said UKIP would "get cracking" with the "no" campaign.
He told the BBC that from the autumn UKIP would be "holding bid public meetings, putting leaflets through doors and campaigning".
The in/out referendum on the UK's EU membership will take place by 2017.
Prime Minister David Cameron wants to renegotiate the terms of membership before the vote, including benefits to EU migrants and freeing businesses from Brussels' red tape.
Mr Farage is back in post as UKIP's leader after a short-lived resignation and recent in-fighting within the party.
He told the BBC's Today programme that the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) group and Labour peer Lord Mandelson had already begun arguing the case to stay in the EU, but those wanting to exit could get caught out if the prime minister decided on an early vote.
"What I want to see are people who've been Tory and Labour veteran Eurosceptics standing up and saying that Mr Cameron is simply not asking for enough and that they should be joining forces with us and others to get the campaign going."
He added: "My worry is that many of these well-known Tory Eurosceptics - I suspect their loyalty to the Conservative party may in the end be greater than their loyalty to the country and this cause."
He said he saw UKIP as the only Eurosceptic organisation in Britain.
In the absence of an umbrella group of anti-EU businesses and cross-party campaigners, UKIP was going to start the ground game, he added.
"I'm not saying UKIP on their own could win the referendum", but they could be "a very important part and component of it", he said.
At a speech at UKIP's first regional post-election conference, Mr Farage said the "People's Army" - his name for UKIP supporters - was stronger now than it had ever been.
He told cheering delegates that he was disappointed neither he nor Mark Reckless had won parliamentary seats, but said he was proud that many of the four million UKIP voters were first-time voters inspired by UKIP to have their say.
He was also due to tell supporters they should not wait for details of David Cameron's promised reforms before starting their "no" campaign.
There was no time to waste in galvanising support, he was expected to say, and he was to pledge to have his "People's Army" mobilised by the autumn.
On Friday, Mr Farage said he believed David Cameron was trying to "frame the debate around benefits for migrants when actually it's not about that".
"It's about sheer numbers that come, it's about change to communities, it's about wage compression for ordinary workers."
Eurosceptic Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin said credit should be given to the prime minister for seeking a "fundamental" change in the UK's relationship with the EU.
"But unless we control things like migration, like how much we pay to the EU from our own Westminster Parliament, we are not actually making much of a change to our relationship," he told the Today programme.
"At that point I think Mr Farage and I might find that we've got more in common than he is prepared to admit at the moment."
The Eastbourne conference follows a period of turmoil within the party after the general election when Mr Farage resigned as leader but then returned just days later.
But he says his position as party leader is now the "strongest it has ever been".

As well as changing days, it's also getting shorter in duration and it's getting a change in presenter as well.
Greg James will take over the hosting duties when it starts airing in his Friday show, which starts at 4pm.
At the moment it is fronted by Clara Amfo, who only stepped into the role in January having taken over from Jameela Jamil.
Newsbeat spoke to Radio 1 boss Ben Cooper, to find out what's going to happen when the new show starts in July.
It's big news. Radio 1's Official Chart Show is moving from Sunday between 4pm and 7pm to Friday between the hours of 4pm and 6pm.
Recently there was an announcement saying there were going to be global release dates. [At the moment] different countries around the world have different release dates.
They said it's all going to be on a Friday in every single country and then the Official Charts Company, which collates all that information, said they were now going to publish the chart on a Friday.
I don't want our audience to be 48 hours behind everyone else. I want them to hear the number one first on Radio 1.
I was trying to remember how long it's been on a Sunday. I was one of those kids with my fingers on record and pause, taping the top 40 on my cassette machine.
For over 30 years it's been on a Sunday. I think people are going to be shocked.
Radio 1 is changing. Our audiences are changing and we have to change to keep up with those audience activities.
The Official Chart Show is currently three hours but if you look at audience figures and you look at where the peaks are in terms of audience listening, you know that obviously the top 20 is more important than the top 40.
We'll reflect the top 40 but we'll actually be playing the top 20. We'll play a range of records between 40 and 20 but we're not going to play the whole of the top 40.
There are some records that hang around in the chart for weeks and weeks on end and we don't need to play those.
It'll be about the new music, the new entries, the ones that are rising up faster than anyone else. That will be condensed into a fantastic new two-hour show with Greg.
I just think this is going to give the chart new energy.
Clara has got the most amazing opportunity. [When Fearne Cotton leaves Radio 1, Clara will take over her mid-morning show.]
She has got the keys to the Live Lounge so I think she's very very happy.
You know from when you've heard Greg fill in for the Chart, he loves the Chart.
He's so excited about getting his hands on it and I think it's going to sound really fun, really energetic, really pacey and be full of the stars who are making the music of today.
On Sunday we'll have from 4pm to 7pm to play with. That's an opportunity to create a brand new show.
I'm working with the people at CBBC on creating something that will take some of the best content from their channel, and some of our great content, and really focusing on a young, teen audience.
I don't know yet. It's got a short commission so we're going to look at Jack and Dean and what they do with the Chart Bite, whether that continues or not, we shall have to see in the future.
The Chart Show has been going since 1967. It will continue to go until 2067 and beyond I believe.
There is always a human need to find out what music your friends and yourself love.
Curated playlists are the thing of the moment and this is the ultimate curated playlist. The Chart Show is exciting and it's just moving days - that's all.

Sir Anthony Hart chaired the Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) Inquiry which gave its report to Stormont in January.
Stormont's government collapsed later that month before any action was taken.
Sir Anthony has written to Secretary of State James Brokenshire urging him and Stormont party leaders to implement the recommendations as a matter of urgency.
The inquiry recommended that a tax-free compensation payment should be made to all survivors of institutional child abuse, with lump sums ranging from £7,500 to £100,000.
The panel, led by Sir Anthony, had been tasked with investigating allegations of abuse and neglect in children's residential home, run by religious, charitable and state organisations.
Its remit covered a 73-year-period from 1922 to 1995.
The panel found that there had been "widespread abuse" and mistreatment of young residents.
The inquiry's findings were to be brought before the Northern Ireland Assembly but progress stalled because of the collapse of the devolved institutions.
Sir Anthony has written to Mr Brokenshire to notify him that the HIA inquiry has "fulfilled its terms of reference, and as a result has now officially come to an end". | The chair of a major inquiry into child abuse in Northern Ireland has repeated his plea to politicians to act on his recommendations to compensate victims. | 40,463,887 | 266 | 29 | false |
Holyrood's rural economy committee was not provided with the full report because it was still in draft form.
Its convener Edward Mountain said a lack of full disclosure meant questioning Mr Ewing was "limited".
The minister said he would have preferred to have provided a complete report, but could not do so.
Mr Ewing went on to explain that the executive summary, which was shared, contained the main conclusions.
The report, carried out by Fujitsu, looked at the system for making European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments.
Farmers in Scotland have been facing delays in getting their subsidies.
Liberal Democrat MSP Mike Rumbles described the report's findings as "devastating" while Conservative member Jamie Greene said it was an "absolutely damning indictment" of the IT system.
The committee was told the report was still in draft form and contained commercially-sensitive information as well as information about vulnerabilities in the system that could leave it open to cyber attack.
Mr Ewing informed the committee that the report found the system's architecture to be "fundamentally sound".
He added: "I accept, of course, there are matters that require to be remediated, of course there are, if there weren't we wouldn't be having the difficulties that we're having.
"But bear in mind that this report was commissioned by us from a firm of independent experts in the industry to ascertain whether or not we did require to think again with an entirely new approach.
"It was entirely independent and their fundamental conclusion is that 'yes, the system is sound but a lot of remediation work is required'."
Mr Ewing insisted he had confidence in IT contractor CGI, which was making "significant progress" on the system.
The cabinet secretary said everyone involved was working "flat out" to meet the government's commitment to complete the processing of 2016 payments by the end of June.
In January Stroud District Council said it would be reviewing all options for the future of the 183-year-old venue.
The authority is considering whether to keep it under council control, let another group run it, or to sell it.
The closing date for all bids to either run the Stroud Subscription Rooms - or to buy it - is 15 September.
Councillor Doina Cornell, chairman of the group looking at the building's future, said any solution should improve its "cost effectiveness" and help keep it for cultural use.
"We are committed to finding the best way to secure the future of the Sub Rooms, and this is one of three options we need to explore," she said.
"No decisions have been made yet, and putting the Sub Rooms on the open market does not mean that we are selling it. It's just one of the options we are investigating."
But Julie Wickham from campaign group Support Our Subs says "it feels like the community has a gun to its head" and says the sale option "should be taken off the table".
"To say they'd explored every option and something couldn't be found [then] they could put it for sale," she said.
"By running it in tandem it feels very upsetting".
The "imposing ballroom and exhibition space" and "occupying a prominent position in the centre of Stroud" is being offered for sale at £600,000.
So far nine organisations have expressed an interest in running it and a decision will be taken later this year.
Armed men abducted the three in the south-western town of Ghat, where they were working for an Italian company doing maintenance work at the airport.
They were freed after co-operation with Libyan officials, Italy's foreign ministry said, without giving details.
There has never been any claim or public request for ransom.
Numerous criminal and armed groups are active in Libya's south-western desert.
The Italians were identified as Danilo Calonego and Bruno Cacace, and the Canadian as Frank Poccia. Their state of health was not clear.
Ghat is controlled by the Tripoli-based government of national unity.
The 33-year-old was England's top scorer in their defeat down under, with 294 runs at an average of 29.
Pietersen added on Twitter: "Very disappointed to lose 5-0 and not to score more runs personally. Tough tour against a top-class team."
But former skipper Michael Vaughan fears England may make Pietersen "a scapegoat" for the Ashes whitewash.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Vaughan, who captained England to victory in the 2005 Ashes, told the BBC: "I'd be getting him more involved - make him vice-captain.
"But my fear is that England will make him the scapegoat and feel the only way they can move forward is without Kevin Pietersen.
"They have to be very careful. This isn't football. You can't just go out and buy a world-class number four batsman."
Pietersen's Test future has been questioned by pundits, including former England captain Geoffrey Boycott, who criticised the South African-born player during the third-Test defeat in Perth.
"When it comes to batting with patience and concentration against disciplined bowling, he just can't do it," said Boycott, who scored 8,114 runs in 108 Tests. "He bottles it."
But Vaughan, 39, believes it would be a mistake if England dropped Pietersen, who has made 104 Test appearances.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "My fear is they are going to make the big change and get rid of Kevin Pietersen. I think that would be completely the wrong approach.
"I would be getting Pietersen in closer to the management. I'd have him near that think-tank."
Vaughan believes the "maverick" batsman can offer an alternative perspective to that of key decision-makers like captain Alastair Cook, coach Andy Flower and batting coach Graham Gooch.
Pietersen was England's leading run scorer with 294 at an average of 29.40. Here are his scores in the five Tests:
He added: "At the moment, there are too many people making decisions that are too similar.
"That's why I would go with the maverick Pietersen next to them. Someone completely at the other end of the spectrum. Pietersen would bring a different dimension and then you meet halfway.
"If you just go with the same thing all the time, the same voices and same approach, eventually you get found out."
Pietersen fell well below his Test batting average of 47 down under and was criticised for his risk-taking approach.
Before the series, he said he wanted to continue playing for England until at least the 2015-16 tour of his native South Africa.
"As long as the body goes well, I'm good for it," said Pietersen, who made his international debut in 2004.
Flower, meanwhile, said he "can't be any clearer" about his desire to continue as coach despite the chastening defeat.
While Vaughan, who played in 82 Tests, believes he is the "right man going forward", he says the former Zimbabwe wicketkeeper has much to answer for.
He added: "There has not been enough pointed at Andy Flower. He has got away with it and is the common denominator in this. He has to answer all the questions. He says he saw this coming, so why didn't he do something about it?"
Vaughan said England are "not a great team to watch", adding: "They are a boring bunch. They are a bunch of clones.
"You ask them a question and you know exactly what they are going to say. We are in an entertainment business. We need to see characters."
"The first time I met Steven Gerrard I asked him what he did," says the psychiatrist, who has worked with both the England and Liverpool football teams.
He has also used his skills with numerous footballers including Manchester City's Raheem Sterling, as well as snooker star Ronnie O'Sullivan, and cyclists Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Bradley Wiggins and Victoria Pendleton.
His expertise has also been sought out by sports from taekwondo to fencing.
But away from the spotlight, many businesses too are using sport's "mechanic of the mind" in order to get the best out of their employees.
Prof Peters, a cherubic-looking 63-year-old, is author of the best-selling personal development book The Chimp Paradox. It explains how we can control this inner primate, an emotional creature who thinks and acts without the say-so of our more rational consciousness.
The Teessider says his mission is to help the human mind reach peak performance, whether in sport, business or everyday life.
He says that if sports organisations and firms don't invest in emotional skills, there is a danger that employees' inner chimp might inadvertently go into "catastrophe mode" and sabotage things in times of high stress.
"We as a team help people understand and gain insight into the way their mind works, and how they can work better in their own unique organisation, and how they can reach their own unique objectives," he tells me.
That might not necessarily be about increasing company profits, but could be about creating a happier workforce, or one where there is less churn of staff leaving for other jobs.
Prof Peters says that in sport and business every challenge is different.
"There is a great deal of difference between a 100m sprinter and a chess player - one looks at process, and the other is much more analytical and thinking," he says.
"As such there would be variable requests made of the mind.
"In business it is the same. One business might only be selling one product, and they say they will make it to certain parameters.
"But another competing business might say they want to constantly upgrade the product."
His firm, Chimp Management, does not go into a sport or business to "solution solve".
Rather, it looks at what an organisation - and individuals in it - wants to achieve and looks to provide insights.
"We listen to what they want, where they want to go, and then make suggestions," says Prof Peters.
"We have got to see the world through their eyes, see what is restraining them, and tackle that together.
"We help them make sense of the mind and develop skills to optimise how they operate in line with their goals."
Prof Peters says in sport and business there are four criteria that can help an organisation function better:
One firm currently using Prof Peters' expertise is City of London recruitment firm Nicoll Curtin, whose group chief executive James Johnson says Chimp Management is helping them create "a high-performance environment".
Mr Johnson says not only does his workforce now "provide a better service", but also exhibits "more honest and open behaviour" between colleagues.
Prof Peters hit the news in 2008 when his work with the record-breaking British cycling team at the Beijing Olympics made him a man in demand in the sports world.
As well as cycling he worked with Liverpool FC during their Premier League title challenge in 2013-14.
Although he is no longer personally involved at Anfield, his company has two staff members working with the club, at first team and academy level.
I wonder what he thinks of manager Jurgen Klopp's emotional and involved touchline manner, but Prof Peters says "it is not for me to make comment, we would never tell people how to act".
"Our job is always to give understanding, the insight into the way the mind acts, and what will help to bring wellbeing, success."
One sportsperson he is happy to talk about is snooker star Ronnie O'Sullivan, who has publicly lauded the psychiatrist.
"Over the years working with him, Ronnie has realised that defining himself by winning or losing is not a good way to gauge life," says Prof Peters.
"He might partly measure success by how many big tournaments he has won, but again, he now measures it by how much he enjoys his snooker. He now says that if he wins that is a bonus."
Prof Peters adds: "Success is that a person has a good quality of life. If a person is in a good place that is success."
The psychiatrist says that O'Sullivan has told him he would not have reached the final of the recent European Masters (which he lost to Judd Trump) "if it was not for his emotional skills".
"He told me he had put them into effect to win a number of games during the tournament, games which he might not otherwise have won."
As we conclude our talk, I put to him the name of another sports star in need of psychological direction - troubled Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios - and ask if he could see any solutions there.
But the name is not one he recognises.
"Who is he? As I frequently tell people, I really am not a sports fan."
The BBC Panorama programme "Catch Me If You Can" claimed US coach Salazar violated various anti-doping rules and used testosterone medication on Galen Rupp in 2002 when he was 16.
Both men deny all the claims.
The BBC understands that US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) is also investigating the allegations.
London 2012 10,000m silver medallist Rupp is training partner of Great Britain's Mo Farah. Both athletes are part of Salazar's Nike Oregon Project.
There are no suggestions Farah has been involved in any doping.
Ukad chief executive Nicole Sapstead said the body would only publish the outcome of any prosecution.
"As with all of our ongoing investigations, Ukad will not disclose any details, to protect the privacy of everyone involved, and so we do not undermine our own operations of deterring and detecting doping in sport," said Sapstead.
Salazar, 56, last week issued a 12,000-word denial of the allegations, backed by emails and other documents, saying he "will never permit doping" at his Nike Oregon Project training base.
Ukad's statement came after American athlete Kara Goucher said she was approached by "multiple" people and has urged them to go to Usada with their concerns.
The 36-year-old middle distance runner, who used to be trained by Salazar, said: "I believe the truth will come out."
But the Conservative Party leader has admitted he ordered a security "audit" of those being resettled.
The allegations were first reported by the Globe and Mail newspaper on Thursday.
They have refocused attention on Mr Harper's response to the Syrian refugee crisis ahead of 19 October elections.
The Globe and Mail reported that the prime minister's office earlier this year ordered a halt to the processing of one class of Syrian refugee claims and asked immigration officials to hand over refugee files for vetting.
It said the halt meant UN-approved Syrian refugees had their resettlement in Canada delayed.
Mr Harper admitted Thursday that he had asked for a security "audit" of the refugee resettlement process but denied that his political staff had been directly involved in vetting applications.
"Political staff are never involved in approving refugee applications. Such decisions are made by officials in the department of citizenship and immigration," he said.
The Syrian refugee crisis and Canadian immigration policy - simmering issues for much of the Canadian general election campaign - have now become front-page news. Revelations that Mr Harper's government intervened to slow down the asylum review process - to ensure Canadian national security, his supporters claim - will undoubtedly be used as a political cudgel by his opponents.
NDP leader Tom Mulcair already has accused Mr Harper of callous indifference to migrant tragedy and linked the story to the death of three-year-old Alan Kurdi, whose family reportedly sought Canadian residency before he was found dead on a Turkish beach.
Mr Harper built his governing majority, in part, on the strength of his appeal to recent Canadian immigrants. But if these new stories lead Canadians to believe that Mr Harper is playing politics with the asylum system - by giving preference to applicants who were potential supporters or from particular religious backgrounds - his image as a unifying leader of a diverse nation could be jeopardised.
At the very least, these revelations have put the prime minister on the defensive during the critical final week of a campaign that has his party fighting to hold onto power in the face of a strong challenge from Mr Mulcair's NDP and Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party.
Transport Minister Lisa Raitt told the CTV Television Network that the audit had partially aimed to make sure Canada was taking in vulnerable ethnic and religious minorities.
CTV, citing immigration department sources, has reported that Mr Harper's office sought to give priority to religious minorities including Christians over Sunni and Shia Muslims.
Opponents of the ruling Conservative Party have seized on the reports.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said the government had been "irresponsible", while New Democrats' leader Thomas Mulcair said the revelations were "a shame on Canada".
Mr Harper's government has faced criticism for not doing enough to help migrants and refugees fleeing conflict in the Middle East.
His government has pledged to take 10,000 refugees by September next year by speeding up processing.
The Liberals have called for 25,000 refugees to be taken in by the end of the year, while the New Democrats have pledged a target of 46,000 over four years.

The 29-year-old France international has regularly been linked with a move.
It is understood the Hammers recently turned down a £19.1m bid for Payet from his former side Marseille.
"We have said we don't want to sell our best players but Payet does not want to play for us," Bilic said. "We are not going to sell him."
Payet joined West Ham from Marseille for £10.7m in June 2015.
He excelled in his first season with the London club, scoring 12 goals and earning a nomination for the PFA Players' Player of the Year award.
In February 2016 he signed a new contract to tie him to the Hammers to the summer of 2021.
Payet has scored five goals so far this season, and the Sun reported last week that Bilic had ordered him to improve his attitude.
"I expect from him to come back and to show commitment and determination to the team like the team has shown to him," Bilic said on Thursday.
"We aren't going to sell him. It's not a money issue or anything. We want to keep our best players.
"I spoke to the chairman and this is not a money issue. We gave him a long contract because we want him to stay."
Payet was left on the bench for Friday's 5-0 FA Cup defeat by Manchester City.
"He's probably been tapped up by some clubs or whatever," added Bilic. "That is usual at this time of year.
"But until he changes his attitude he is out of the team and he's not going to train with us."
West Ham are 13th in the Premier League, seven points above the relegation zone, and host Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Footage showed a man damaging cars near St Margaret's Way junction in Leicester during rush hour traffic on Thursday.
Michael McCabe, of no fixed address, will appear before Leicester Magistrates' Court later.
He is charged with racially aggravated criminal damage, three counts of damage to motor vehicles and resisting arrest.
The European Commission has awarded the pudding Protected Geographical Indication.
The status means it can only be described as Stornoway black pudding if it is produced in the town or parish of Stornoway on Lewis.
It follows a campaign by four island butchers and Rhoda Grant MSP.
They were concerned at the international use of Stornoway or Stornoway style on menus to describe inferior puddings.
Traditional Ayrshire Dunlop cheese has an application pending.
Source: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Ms Grant, a Labour MSP for the Highlands and Islands, said: "I am delighted that Stornoway Black Pudding has been awarded Protected Geographical Indicator status by the European Commission.
"This helps put Stornoway on the map as a producer of high quality produce and ensures the unique black pudding cannot be replicated anywhere else."
John Smith, whose father, also John, bought over W J MacDonald butchers in Stornoway's Francis Street in 1974, said the news had been "a long time coming".
The 54-year-old said: "It's a big thing for us. We started campaigning for this about four years ago and it had to go through the Scottish Parliament first, before being sent to European level.
"It means now that the ingredients and the way it is made will be set in stone. There will be no deviating from that."
Mr Smith added: "We're glad to be sharing the same privilege as, say, Parma ham, which can only be called that if it is made in a specific area."
Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead said Stornoway black pudding was a world-renowned delicacy that fully deserved to be given protected status.
He added: "It is important that people know where their food comes from - and any Scottish product gaining this prestigious certification will give customers from home and abroad the guarantee that what they are buying is the genuine product."
Angus Campbell, leader of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, said the local authority wished to congratulate all those involved in the campaign to gain the designation.
He said: "The Western Isles have a reputation for high class produce and Stornoway Black Pudding is recognised as an excellent foodstuff, delicious whether it be for breakfast or as an integral part of fine class dining in some of the best restaurants in the world."
Sewell scored 104 goals in 193 appearances for the Magpies and helped them to promotion from Football League Third Division South in 1949-50.
He transferred to the Owls in 1951 for a record fee at the time of £34,500.
Sewell made six appearances for England, scoring three times and retired from the sport in 1961.
One of his goals for the national team came in 1953 in a game described as the 'Match of the Century', when England lost 6-3 to the Olympic champions Hungary at Wembley.
Notts County club ambassador Les Bradd said: "Before he moved to Nottingham, he used to leave work at 5pm on a Friday, get on a bus to Carlisle railway station, board a train to Derby, get another train to Midland Station and then walk to his digs on Meadow Lane, arriving at about 1am.
"When we played away, he would often have to be up at 6am to travel with the team. It's just incredible that, despite all that, he scored almost a goal every two appearances for Notts.
"He was always a pleasure to be with and talk to."
The Magpies have announced there will be minute's applause in memory of Jackie ahead of Saturday's match against Morecambe.
The Fostering Network says children in care are finding it harder to access social worker support as a result.
Town hall bosses says the number of children receiving intensive support through child protection plans has risen 60% in the past eight years.
Cuts to early intervention budgets left councils with very difficult decisions, they added.
The Fostering Network's chief executive, Kevin Williams, said: "We are extremely concerned that so many foster carers feel that recent cuts are having a negative impact on their fostered children's access to the support and services that they so vitally need.
"The wellbeing of thousands of fostered children is under threat.
"This is worrying enough in itself.
"But equally worrying is the drop in the support - both practical and financial - being offered to foster carers to enable them to provide stable and loving homes to these children."
He said this charity had "fought long and hard" to ensure all foster carers received an allowance that covered the costs of looking after the children they cared for.
"To think that this progress is in danger of being eroded and that foster carers will be forced to subsidise the care of these children or that children will go without is truly shocking," he added.
The network carried out a snapshot survey of foster carers, and about 600 replied.
Of these, about 70% said their allowances had been negatively affected by local authority cuts, and about the same proportion said they felt cuts were limiting access to their child's social worker.
One respondent said: "We have fostered for over 25 years and cared for well over 300 young people, and the service has never been in a worse position to deliver young people with a good care service."
Another foster carer said: "My monthly visits have been cut to once every two months, with a telephone call in between, and the timing of visits seem rushed and you can't explain your needs in the time given. They have too many cases to look after."
Councillor Richard Watts, vice-chairman of the Local Government Association's Children and Young People Board, said councils had worked hard to protect front-line children's services and increased spending on children and family services between 2010 and 2013.
"Unfortunately, this has still amounted to a reduction in real terms, and didn't take into account increasing demand, particularly in high-end child protection services.
"More than 20,000 extra children, an increase of more than 60%, are now receiving intensive support through child protection plans than eight years ago.
"These pressures have left challenging choices elsewhere, and this report highlights some of the difficult decisions councils are forced to make every day.
"There are no easy choices as councils try to balance the immediate need to safeguard a child with the clear benefits that can come later from investment in vital support services and early intervention."
A government spokesperson said: "We greatly value the vital contribution that foster carers make to children's lives, and are committed to ensuring they receive the recognition and support they need.
"We are giving councils almost £200 bn to spend on local services by 2020, and we know that the vast majority are protecting frontline children's social care budgets."
Northampton Borough Council maintains it sold the Sekhemka figurine to help fund a £14m extension to its museum and art gallery.
The council has refused a BBC Freedom of Information request for its pre-sale legal advice.
It has now emerged lawyers flagged up a number of risks before the sale.
The 4,000-year-old statue, believed to be of a high court official, sold for £15.76m when it was auctioned at Christie's of London. It had been expected to make about £6m.
Of the money raised, £6,741,000 was paid to Lord Northampton and £782,500 to Christies, leaving more than £8m for the council.
According to a separate information request, the council spent nearly £58,000 on external legal advice.
However, it has decided to withhold that advice, claiming while it "appreciates there is a strong public interest in the legal advice it received prior to the sale" the guidance it received "remains legally privileged".
As a result of the sale, Northampton Museum was stripped of its accreditation by Arts Council England, which has left it ineligible for a range of grants and funding.
A summary of the legal advice, seen by the BBC, reveals the council was warned it was at risk of losing both funding and the support of the Museums Association.
The legal advice also warned "that any sale should not be financially motivated except in exceptional circumstances".
Alistair Brown, policy officer at the Museums Association, said: "I can't comment on the council's own legal advice.
"However, at the time, the (association's) ethics committee stated that there had clearly been insufficient consultation on the sale and the council had changed their plans several times about how the funds would be used.
"Northampton Borough Council was barred from membership of the Museums Association for a minimum of five years in 2014 for the unethical sale of the Sekhemka statue - so that decision still stands."
The council confirmed it sold Sekhemka to raise money, although it did not claim any "exceptional circumstances".
"We had strong legal advice that we could sell Sekhemka and that we were doing so in the right way," a council spokesman said.
"We accepted all the risks around the sale but chose to do so to realise several million pounds to invest in the future of Northampton Museum, where a major expansion programme that will guarantee its future is under way."
Josh Clark died in hospital after police were called to the address in Sloan Drive, Bramcote, Nottinghamshire, just before 01:00 GMT on Monday.
His mother, Samantha Annabelle said she is "devastated" at the loss of her "precious" son.
A 36-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug has been released on bail.
A 14-year-old boy, who also visited the Bramcote property on Monday, remains in hospital in a stable condition.
Ms Annabelle, said: "Josh was my precious and youngest son. We all loved him so dearly and his loss will be felt by all of his family and friends.
"He was a young boy with his whole life ahead of him. As a family we are all totally devastated.
"He was a very loving young boy who filled our hearts with happiness and his passing leaves us all with the biggest void that will never be filled."
Behind the closed doors of the negotiating rooms at the climate conference in Paris last week, the debates were all about subtle differences in the language used.
Indeed, a dispute over the words "shall" and "should" almost derailed the entire deal.
The distinction says a lot about the implications of the deal for developing nations like India.
Like the rest of the world, India hailed the global climate pact signed on Saturday as a rare triumph of global partnership.
"Outcome of #ParisAgreement has no winners or losers," tweeted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "Climate justice has won & we are all working towards a greener future."
But as the first flush of joy fades, the discussion is now all about what the deal really means - and the "shall/should" dichotomy is central.
It arose in the final hours before the historic deal was signed - and brought the momentum of negotiations to a juddering halt.
Lawyers working for the American negotiating team discovered a clause deep in the document had been tweaked.
Article 4 now read that wealthier countries "shall" set economy-wide targets for cutting their greenhouse gas emissions. Previous drafts had used the word "should".
John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, was unequivocal: "Either it changes or President Obama and the United States will not be able to support this document."
"Shall" was duly replaced with "should" and - to the relief of the US and the French organisers there was no outcry - the deal went ahead.
The change was very significant - "shall" implies a legal obligation, "should" does not.
Instead of concrete commitments to emissions cuts by the developed world, they are now just an aspiration.
It is just one of a number of ways in which the "differentiation" - another key word - between the developed and the developing world has been substantially diluted.
The idea of "common by differentiated responsibilities" was the central plank of the developing world's approach to the climate change issue, and was at the heart of the Indian demand for "climate justice".
The idea is that while tackling climate change is everyone's duty, the developed world has got rich using fossil fuels and, therefore, should bear more of the burden of making the change.
Both phrases are mentioned in the final document a number of times but not in a sense that involves any legal obligation.
Crucially the idea of "historical responsibilities" - another important phrase in the climate lexicon of the developing world - has been erased from the final version of the pact, says Chandra Bhushan, deputy director of the Indian environmental think-tank, the Centre for Science and Environment.
At the same time the Paris deal obliges developing countries to take publicly announced emission reduction actions - a major change from the 1997 Kyoto Protocol where only rich nations were required to do so.
To reflect that new obligation the Paris deal commits developed countries to provide $100bn (£65bn) a year to help finance new technologies and mitigation in developing nations.
But, again this pledge is not part of the legally binding section of the agreement.
That means that loans and bilateral development assistance may be counted as contributions to the total, worry some observers.
And there is another clause which is causing anxiety here in India. It says "finance flows should be consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate resilient development".
The fear is that it could be used to frustrate the ambitions of countries like India which plan to develop their economies with a huge increase in power generated from coal.
Now, of course, that is a good thing for the global climate, but not for Indian politicians who have always insisted that economic development must come before tackling climate change.
Yet despite these caveats there is a recognition here in India, as elsewhere in the developing world, that compromise was inevitable to get the deal.
President Obama put it best. "No agreement is perfect, including this one," he said. But "this agreement represents the best chance we have to save the one planet we've got".
Paris proves that those are words the entire world can agree with.
The British vote to leave the European Union is one central reason. There is also the election of Donald Trump after a campaign in which he was highly critical of some US trade agreements.
Much of the debate has focused on trade in goods. Will there be tariffs on British exports to the EU and vice versa? President Trump has threatened carmakers with a "border tax" if they expand operations in Mexico.
But what about services? After all, the service sector dominates most economies.
It accounts for 78% or more of national economic activity in the UK, France and the US. Those are well known as service-driven economies. But in Germany, that great manufacturing powerhouse, it's getting on for 70% and even in China it is close to half.
When we look at cross-border trade, however, it is a rather different story. The value of global trade in goods still exceeds services by a factor of more than three.
But services trade is growing and it is important for many economies.
Barriers to services trade have proved to be harder to deal with.
They come in the form of regulation - not the tariffs or taxes that impinge on commerce in goods.
Countries sometimes impose limits on the percentage share of ownership that foreign companies can have in a business that provides services. In China, for example, the limit is 50% for insurance and some telecommunications services.
There can also be nationality requirements. In China again, the chief partner in auditing and accounting firms must be a Chinese national.
In just about all countries practitioners of many professions require approved qualifications (often for very good reasons). The extent to which there is mutual recognition of other countries' qualifications varies.
There are also sometimes licensing and residency requirements which can stand in the way of cross-border provision.
It is also the case that the nature of many services does make trade intrinsically rather more challenging. You can't put a service on a container ship and send it around the world the way you can with goods.
But it is possible to trade services internationally. A stockbroker in London can buy and sell shares for German investors. People can travel abroad for health treatment. Firms can establish a commercial presence in other countries. And individual practitioners can go abroad and work as an independent supplier - perhaps as a plumber - or as an employee of, for example, an insurance company.
So liberalising services trade is more complicated than it is for goods.
But there have been efforts.
The World Trade Organization's rulebook includes something called the General Agreement on Trade in Services, or GATS.
WTO member countries have made commitments during past negotiations about the extent to which they allow foreign suppliers access to their services markets. These vary from country to country and are listed in "schedules" attached to the agreement.
The GATS also has rules that promote transparency, to make it easier for businesses to navigate any rules that affect them. There are also rules that prohibit discrimination between different trade partners.
Governments in many of the big service-driven economies - Europe and the US in particular - have seen the GATS as a useful start, but as very much unfinished business.
So there is also a separate negotiation under way called the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). It is not yet complete and so it is not yet an "agreement", strictly speaking.
The negotiations involve 23 WTO members. That counts the European Union as one, so it will probably rise to 24 when the UK leaves the EU.
TiSA does not have a high profile in news terms, but has been very controversial.
Critics accuse the governments involved of negotiating in secret. They also criticise the "ratchet clause" that the agreement is likely to include, which would prevent countries from reintroducing trade barriers that they had removed.
Critics say that would make it harder for any government involved to reverse the privatisation of any services that had been transferred to the private sector. They also say it would undermine the rights of governments to regulate in the public interest.
The European Commission - which negotiates on trade policy for the EU - rejects this.
"Quite to the contrary, the right to regulate services will be enshrined in TiSA. Rather, the objective is to tackle discrimination that currently prevents service suppliers from operating in another TiSA party," a spokesperson says.
On the ratchet clause the Commission says it won't have the effect that critics allege. And it says the EU won't make commitments on allowing foreign suppliers to provide some key publicly funded services, including health and education.
Service industries are also likely to be an important area for British trade negotiators looking at opportunities for UK business after leaving the European Union.
Financial and business services account for about half the total of British services exports, which is in the region of a quarter of a trillion pounds ($300bn). It will be an important factor for UK commercial relations with the EU, and for any new agreements that might be done with countries outside the EU, including the US.
The UK still exports more goods than services, but that lead has narrowed dramatically. Research commissioned by Barclays Bank projected that services could account for more than half of British exports within a decade.
So barriers to cross-border trade in services really will matter to the British and many other economies.
Known as the Spice island, it is the world's second-largest producer of nutmeg after Indonesia and a significant producer of mace, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. It also boasts beautiful scenery with fertile valleys, rainforests and mountain lakes and its tropical climate and excellent beaches are a big draw for tourists.
Grenada made international headlines in 1983 when a split in the governing left-wing party led to the overthrow and execution of the country's charismatic leader Maurice Bishop and provided the pretext for a US invasion of the island. Free elections were reinstituted a year later and have continued since then.
Most of the population is of African or mixed African and European descent.
Population 105,000
Area 344 sq km (133 sq miles)
Major languages English (official), French patois
Major religion Christianity
Life expectancy 74 years (men), 78 years (women)
Currency East Caribbean dollar
Head of state: Queen Elizabeth II, represented by a governor
Prime Minister: Keith Mitchell
Veteran leader Keith Mitchell returned to office in February 2013 after a five-year gap when his centre-right New National Party swept the board in parliamentary elections.
The party campaigned on plans to attract investors to boost jobs. In 2013, Mr Mitchell moved to halve income tax for those earning less than 60,000 East Caribbean dollars (about $22,000), from 30% to 15%.
Mr Mitchell's victory reversed his emphatic defeat by the liberal National Democratic Congress in the 2008 election, which ended his first, 13-year stint in office.
But the new prime minister, Tillman Thomas, proved unable to revive Grenada's financial fortunes, hard hit by the 2004 Hurricane Ivan's devastation of the island's agriculture and infrastructure, as well as the world economic crisis, which undermined tourism.
Unemployment reached 30%, and the debt burden prompted the Caribbean Development Bank to demand urgent measures to boost investor confidence.
Born in 1946 and a statistician by training, Keith Mitchell was elected to parliament in 1984 and took over the New National Party leadership in 1989. He led the party to three successive election wins in 1995, 1999 and 2003, before losing in 2008.
Grenada has a high level of media freedom, guaranteed in the constitution. The country has no daily newspapers; its privately-owned weeklies freely criticise the government.
A public-private partnership, the Grenada Broadcasting Network, provides radio and television stations. MTV is privately owned and there are several privately-owned radio stations.
There were 48,000 internet users by mid-2014, about 48% of the population (InternetWorldStats).
Some key events in the history of Grenada:
700 - First inhabited by Arawak-speaking Amerindians from South America who are displaced by Carib settlers.
1498 - Christopher Columbus visits the island but it remains uncolonised.
1649 - The French gain control, establish sugar estates and import thousands of African slaves.
1763 - The British assume control and vigorously expand sugar production and introduce cotton, cacao and nutmeg.
1950s - National politics develops through the labour movement. Pro-independence Grenada United Labour Party is formed.
1967 - Britain gives Grenada autonomy over its internal affairs.
1974 - Independence from Britain and Eric Gairy becomes Grenada's first prime minister.
1979 - Gairy is deposed in a coup by opposition leader Maurice Bishop, whose Marxist military council forges links with Cuba.
1983 - Bishop is overthrown in a military coup and executed. The US invades Grenada with six other Caribbean nations.
1984 - Democracy returns after 1974 constitution is reinstated and free elections are held.
2004 - Hurricane Ivan devastates Grenada, damaging 90% of the island's buildings and devastating its nutmeg crop.
Before going missing on 11 July Derek Serpell-Morris, 73, known as DJ Derek, made several return trips by bus to Thornbury, Travel Card data confirmed.
His family now believe he caught a second bus to Dursley after finding the map with a ring around the hospital.
They have asked for checks to be made to see if there is a connection.
Derek's great niece, Jennifer Griffiths, said she and her mother and father, Paula and Stuart Marks, went into his flat on Friday.
"He kept maps with pink and yellow markers (to gig venues) and all the bus numbers highlighted and all alphabetised," said Ms Griffiths.
"My dad spent hours at the weekend going through them but there was only one placed marked on the Dursley map and that was around an H with the name of the road highlighted."
The family has already walked around some of the fields surrounding the hospital but has found no trace of Mr Serpell-Morris.
Ms Griffiths said she and her parents had asked the hospital authorities to see if he was an outpatient there or if he was a visitor.
"This could be really significant," she said.
In a statement, the lender said Ross McEwan did not want the allowance "to be a distraction from the task of building a great bank".
The "role based" incentive is used by major banks to sidestep EU rules that limit bankers' bonuses.
Mr McEwan's pay for 2015 is expected to top £2.7m - even after handing back the £1m share award.
RBS, which is 80% owned by the UK government, will release its annual results on Thursday.
In September, the bank reported a pre-tax profit of £3.9bn for the first nine months of 2014, and RBS shares have been recovering in recent weeks.
However, the bank, which was bailed out at the height of the financial crisis, has undergone severe restructuring in recent years and has been plagued by a series of regulatory fines.
Last year, Mr McEwan warned that RBS had a "long list of conduct and litigation issues to deal with" and said branch closures were "inevitable".
On Wednesday, RBS said it had suspended another two employees as part of an investigation by the bank into foreign exchange market rigging.
RBS was one of six banks fined a combined $4.3bn (£2.6bn) last month for failing to stop foreign exchange market manipulation.
In February last year, the lender reported a pre-tax loss for 2013 of £8.2bn - its biggest annual loss since being rescued by the UK government.
However RBS's shares, which fell to 326.6p after the 2013 results, have rebounded above 400p in recent days - moving closer to the the 500p average paid for them by the UK in 2008.
Owain Glyndwr is said to have held a parliament at Machynlleth, Powys, during his rebellion against the rule of Henry IV in the early 15th Century.
Heir to the dynasty of Powys Fadog, he married into a leading family of the Welsh Marches (borderlands) and served in the English army.
The revolt began in 1400 when Henry IV appeared unwilling to mediate in a land dispute between Glyndwr and a neighbour.
A group of supporters proclaimed him Prince of Wales, and attacked English settlements in north east Wales.
Guerrilla tactics were met by punitive measures against the Welsh, which helped fuel support for Glyndwr from a people unhappy with English domination.
Backed by French military aid, the rebels took Carmarthen and Cardiff in 1403, followed by Harlech and Aberystwyth in 1404.
The parliament was held in Machynlleth that year, when Glyndwr was reputedly crowned Prince of Wales in the presence of envoys from France, Scotland and the Spanish kingdom of Castile.
However the tide turned against him as England's superior resources and weaponry were brought to bear under the leadership of Henry IV's son, the future Henry V.
After a string of defeats, Glyndwr went into hiding in the mountains and is though to have died in about 1416 at his daughter's home on the Herefordshire border.
He is commemorated by the Owain Glyndwr Centre, inside the Grade I-listed Parliament House, believed to have been built or restored in around 1460 on the site of his famous gathering.
However, Rhondda MP Chris Bryant has cast doubt on whether Glyndwr actually called a parliament at Machynlleth.
A historian of parliament as well as a member, Mr Bryant has said Adam of Usk was the only person from that era to have written about the event.
He said Adam claimed Glyndwr may have gathered a few barons but only pretended to call a parliament.
The body of a male was discovered when emergency services were called to The Causeway in Mark, Somerset, at 05:15 BST on Saturday
An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said officers were trying to establish the circumstances of the man's death and are appealing for witnesses.
A 27-year-old man remains in custody for questioning, he added.
Morgan is in a critical but stable condition after breaking his legs, nose and ribs when a Walmart truck driver crashed into his vehicle.
"Today was a better day," said spokesman Lewis Kay, adding that doctors are "optimistic".
Morgan's friend, fellow comedian James McNair, died in the accident.
Also known as Jimmy Mack, a memorial service was held for McNair on Thursday in his hometown of Peekskill, New York.
Morgan, 45, starred alongside Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin in the comedy series 30 Rock and is a former regular on Saturday Night Live.
According to Kay, Morgan's fiancee Megan Wollover is with him as he recovers from an operation on his leg and is relaying everyone's good wishes.
"While Tracy remains in critical, but stable, condition, he continues to show signs of improvement," said Kay.
"His medical team remains optimistic that his recovery is progressing."
Walmart truck driver Kevin Roper has pleaded not guilty to charges of death by auto and assault by auto charges in court.
Prosecutors said he had not slept for more than 24 hours before the crash on the New Jersey Turnpike, when he swerved to avoid traffic that had slowed down, ploughing into Morgan's limo bus.
Walmart has said it believes Roper was in compliance with federal safety regulations but has promised to cooperate with the investigation.
Another two people were seriously injured in the accident after the limo bus flipped over, fellow comedian Ardie Fuqua Jr and Morgan's assistant, Jeffrey Millea.
Kay told reporters he had been informed by Millea's wife that her husband had also "shown much improvement over the past few days".
Gossip website TMZ has so far refused to remove a video featuring footage of the crash site, which shows motorists stopping and pulling a body from the wreckage of Morgan's limousine, believed to be Fuqua.
Actor and comedian Louis CK pleaded with TMZ on Twitter to "take it down", asking fans not to watch the video as it featured his friends who were in intensive care.
Fuqua's daughter also posted a statement appealing to TMZ on social media, calling it "hurtful".
"All I ask is to be kindly left alone so that my father and everyone else can be left in peace," she said.
Through exploration and conquest, Spain became a world power in the 16th century, and it maintained a vast overseas empire until the early 19th century.
Spain's modern history is marked by the bitterly fought Spanish Civil War of 1936-39, and the ensuing 36-year dictatorship of General Francisco Franco.
After Franco's death in 1975, Spain made the transition to a democratic state and built a successful economy, with King Juan Carlos as head of state.
The constitution of 1978 enshrines respect for linguistic and cultural diversity within a united Spain. The country is divided into 17 regions which all have their own directly elected authorities.
The level of autonomy afforded to each region is far from uniform. For example, Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia have special status with their own language and other rights.
Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
Andalucia, Navarre, Valencia and the Canaries in turn have more extensive powers than some other regions. Asturias and Aragon have taken steps to consolidate language rights.
In 2006 a Catalan referendum backed by the central government gave the region greater autonomy.
The region's parliament gained extra powers in taxation and judicial matters, although the deepening recession and Catalonia's high indebtedness has spurred calls for independence from Spain. The country's regional picture is a complex and evolving one.
One of Spain's most serious domestic issues has been tension in the northern Basque region. A violent campaign by the armed Basque separatist group Eta led to nearly 850 deaths over four decades until, after several stalled cease-fires, it disbanded in 2012.
The Spanish economy was of the most dynamic in the EU, but the tourism, housing and construction industry mainstays were hit hard by the global economic crisis of 2008-9.
The bursting of the housing bubble tipped Spain into a severe recession and by the spring of 2013 unemployment had risen to a peak of 27.2%.
Austerity measures imposed by the government in an effort to reduce the level of public debt sparked a wave of protests and gave rise to the Podemos (We Can Do It) political movement.
The economy nonetheless began to turn round by the end of 2013, and the country saw stronger than expected growth the following year, with unemployment falling back to 24.5%.
Spain consists of most of the Iberian peninsula, plus the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands and two North African exclaves.
From Velazquez in the seventeenth century, through Goya straddling the eighteenth and nineteenth, to Picasso in the twentieth, Spain has the proudest of traditions in art.
Flamenco music and dance are widely admired around the world while Cervantes' novel Don Quixote is one of the most popular ever written.
Cinema is much loved and the films of directors such as Pedro Almodovar attract huge audiences.
It is understood the county council is negotiating with land owners near the new Carmarthen west link road.
Persimmon Homes said the council "had to cease work on the road" while discussions continued.
Carmarthenshire council has refused to confirm why the work has stopped on the road, which is west of Carmarthen.
BBC Wales understands Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd, has not been on site at the junction near the A40 at Travellers Rest for several months.
The council maintains the work will be completed by 2018.
Executive board member for environment Hazel Evans said: "Work has reached staged completion on the road in line with the programme. We are completing works on car park areas currently.
"We have licence to work on the route whilst negotiations are finalised on a part of the land."
The new road will improve access to key employment sites at St David's Park, the University of Wales Trinity St David and Coleg Sir Gar and serve the new S4C headquarters Yr Egin.
The Welsh Government contributed £1.3m towards the cost of the road, with further support from the University of Wales, Trinity St David.
A new junction at Jobswell Road was completed in October as part of the project and was described by the council as the "first phase of the £5m Carmarthen west link road" but no mention of phasing the construction was made in the original planning document.
A spokesman for Persimmon Homes said it remained "committed to its significant development in Carmarthen west and to meeting its obligations for infrastructure investment".

The company announced in 2016 that it would be putting an end to all orca, or killer whale performance shows in their parks after a lot of pressure from celebrities and animal rights groups.
SeaWorld also has killer whale shows at two other parks in America, in Texas and Florida; they are planned to stop in 2019.
It's all come about after the company faced lots of criticism from people who say keeping the whales in captivity is cruel and unnecessary.
The chain had another big setback when One Direction's Harry Styles urged his fans not to visit their parks. In October 2015, Californian authorities banned SeaWorld from breeding animals in captivity.
This summer, the park will unveil a new attraction in a renovated pool. 'Orca Encounter'. described by the company as an "educational experience" that shows how the whales eat, communicate and navigate.
The new show will still feature whales in captivity leaping out of the water and taking cues from trainers.
SeaWorld say many of the criticisms aren't fair and that they carry out vital research with the mammals. In announcing the closing of the shows, SeaWorld CEO Joel Manby said , "We are proud of our part in contributing to the human understanding of these animals. As society's understanding of orcas continues to change, SeaWorld is changing with it."
The row over the Nyansapo Festival started after it emerged that 80% of the venue would be restricted to black women, allegedly in public areas.
Anne Hidalgo said the event "clarified" that public areas would be open to all.
But the organisers say they have been unfairly targeted.
They said it was part of the original plan that everyone would be allowed to enter public areas, while the restricted events, including a second area reserved to black people of any gender, would be held in private property.
But Ms Hidalgo said a in a series of tweets on the topic that a "clear solution" was reached only after a meeting with the collective Mwasi, organisers of the festival billed as "black feminist", on Monday.
She described having a "firm" discussion with those responsible for the festival. However, Mwasi has disputed that, saying the events have not changed "one inch", Le Monde newspaper reports (in French).
Ms Hidalgo said on Sunday that she reserved the right "to prosecute the organisers for discrimination" after the event was criticised by some French anti-racism organisations and the far-right National Front.
In an earlier statement (in French), the organisers said they had been "the target of a campaign of disinformation and fake news orchestrated by the extreme right".
The Justice Department is relying on the same law as the one in its fight with Apple over the encrypted phone belonging to the San Bernardino gunman.
It has gone to a higher court after a Brooklyn judge said he had no power to give the order.
Apple said the order would be the start of a "slippery slope that threatens everyone's safety and privacy".
In the original hearing, the US government asked Judge James Orenstein to order Apple to open up a locked phone belonging to Jun Feng, who has pleaded guilty to participation in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy. The Justice Department wants to use the device to find any of his co-conspirators.
After Judge Orenstein's decision last week, the government resubmitted its arguments to a higher judge overseeing the matter.
While the case has similarities with that being heard in California in relation to the San Bernardino shootings, the New York case involves an older version of Apple's operating system. Feng's phone uses iOS 7, which is not protected by the same encryption technology.
"Apple has the technological capability to bypass the passcode feature and access the contents of the phone that were unencrypted," the Justice Department said in its court filing, submitted on Monday. It has asked District Court Judge Margot Brodie to hear the case. The Justice Department's lawyers called the request routine, arguing that the case was neither about asking Apple to do anything new, nor to create a "master key" to access all iPhones.
The government said Judge Orenstein's ruling was an "unprecedented limitation on" judicial authority and that his legal "analysis goes far afield of the circumstances of this case". It also stated that the government "does not have any adequate alternatives" to obtaining Apple's assistance because attempting to guess the passcode would trigger the phone's auto-erase security feature.
Federal prosecutors cited several examples in which Apple has extracted data from a locked device under the law. Apple argues that it has opposed requests to help extract information from more than a dozen iPhones since being invited to challenge the government's use of the 1789 All Writs Act by Judge Orenstein in October last year.
The technology firm said it agreed with Judge Orenstein's ruling that granting the request would "thoroughly undermine fundamental principles of the constitution". It said: "We share the judge's concern that misuse of the All Writs Act would start us down a slippery slope that threatens everyone's safety and privacy."
Jonathan Anthony, 50, strangled his wife Lisa, 47, and suffocated his daughter Ava, 14, at their home in Esher, Surrey on 17 June.
He then laid out their bodies in the master bedroom, hand in hand, Woking Coroner's Court was told.
Verdicts of unlawful killing were recorded on both mother and daughter.
His body was found in Aix-en-Provence on 28 June.
The inquest was told that 24 hours before the killings the family were together at a pub in Ockham for a birthday party, where members of the extended family said they seemed fine.
Coroner Simon Wickens said that after the killings, the businessman, who ran an event management company with his wife, told friends and family and Ava's school they would be away for a week.
He then went to France and spent a week in Paris and Nice with his girlfriend.
He had falsely told the woman he was the boss of the Hugo Boss clothing company.
He also lied to a friend in France, saying his wife and daughter, a pupil at Guildford High School, had been killed in a car crash.
Surrey Police found the bodies at the house, in a gated community, 12 days after the killings.
The court heard he cut his own throat but that his death was being dealt with by the French authorities.
The case was initially referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) because someone who knew Mrs Anthony called Surrey Police on 24 June because of concerns for her welfare.
A spokesman for the IPCC said the matter had been passed back to the force.
Towns with a population of under 80,000 - such as Inverness, Perth, Paisley and Hawick - are being encouraged to submit applications to the Carnegie UK Trust.
It has launched the scheme to support matched funding, shared knowledge and the creation of an economic development plan for local areas.
Ten UK towns will be paired to share ideas and boost growth.
The twinning concept grew after the Second World War to promote cultural and commercial ties around the world.
It is being recreated across the UK as a way for councils to work together more closely.
Scottish towns and cities have established hundreds of twin town relationships around the world over the years, such as Falkirk with Creteil, in northern France, Kirkcaldy with Ingolstadt, in southern Germany, and Livingston with Grapevine in Texas.
Head of development at the Carnegie UK Trust Jim Metcalfe said: "The concept of town twinning was conceived to foster greater understanding and trade between communities in different countries.
"With the devolution of power to big, overarching regions increasingly likely, smaller towns are in danger of being left behind.
"Twin Towns UK is an opportunity for local councils facing particular problems to form a partnership with a counterpart elsewhere in the country.
"Having a twinned town is something to be proud of - and we think some towns can find that partner here in the UK."
The selected towns will be supported over 18 months to build ties, receive economic planning support, and have access to funds to kick-start new commercial, voluntary and social enterprise activity, the charity said.
Under government reforms, the UK's biggest firms will have to reveal how much more their chief executives are paid compared with the average worker.
Companies will also be encouraged to represent workers' voices on boards.
But unions attacked the plans as "feeble" and Labour said the prime minister had backtracked on promises.
The government has released measures aimed at increasing boardroom transparency in publicly listed companies.
Business Secretary Greg Clark said the changes would make firms "more accountable to their employees and shareholders".
The new corporate governance laws, which are due to come into effect by June 2018, will force some 900 publicly listed companies to reveal the pay ratio between bosses and workers.
The Conservatives had promised in their manifesto that executive pay should be approved by an annual vote of shareholders.
However, the new measures instead propose that those public companies who face a shareholder revolt on pay will be named on a register overseen by the Investment Association.
BBC business editor Simon Jack said the government had watered down plans in the face of business lobbying, but also pragmatic and legal problems.
At the weekend, Theresa May attacked firms who hand bosses excessive pay "as the unacceptable face of capitalism".
Writing in the Mail on Sunday, she said the excesses of some chief executives was "damaging the social fabric of our country".
Businesses will also have to ensure that staff of listed companies are better represented at board level, either by allowing workers to nominate a director, creating an employee advisory council or assigning a non-executive director to represent the workforce.
This requirement will be included in the UK Corporate Governance Code, which operates on a "comply or explain" basis.
Mrs May had initially promised to force companies to have an employee representative on the board, during her bid to become Conservative Party leader last July.
However, she backtracked in November and said businesses would not be mandated to implement the move.
Labour accused the government of "watering down" an original promise to increase workers' voice to a lone representative on the board of directors or a separate employee advisory council.
"Each of these will be easily outvoted or ignored," said Rebecca Long-Bailey, Labour's shadow business secretary.
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said the government's reforms were "feeble".
"Just a year ago the prime minister repeatedly promised fundamental reform of business and that's because there was real public concern about boardroom greed, about tax avoidance and exploitative work practices," she told the BBC.
"I am afraid that the government has bottled it in the face of business lobbying and that doesn't bode well for really tackling some of these big problems," she added.
Vince Cable, leader of the Liberal Democrats, said: "The overblown rhetoric from Theresa May is completely at odds with the weakness of the new rules."
While the majority of the new measures will only apply to publicly-listed companies, the government has asked the Financial Reporting Council, the City watchdog, to draw up a voluntary set of corporate governance principles for large private companies.
It follows the collapse of BHS last year which left 11,000 people out of a job and the company's pension schemes in a perilous state.
The department store chain was sold by Sir Philip Green to a former bankrupt, Dominic Chappell, for £1 in 2015.
Commenting of the corporate governance reforms, Paul Drechsler, president of the CBI business lobby group, said: "Companies take this seriously and look forward to working closely with the government to ensure the UK maintains its reputation as a global leader in this field and as a primary location for international investment.
"The CBI is very clear that the unacceptable behaviour of a few firms does not reflect the high standards and responsible behaviour of the vast majority of companies."
It is no surprise that today's package of reforms to the way Britain's companies are run has fallen short of the crackdown on fat cat behaviour promised by Theresa May last year.
The watering-down can has been used liberally since she initially promised workers on boards and binding shareholder votes on executive pay.
The size of the climbdown is arguably as much to do with the scale of the original ambition as with the feebleness of the final proposals.
The Tory attempt to shake up the way corporate Britain is run hit several obstacles.
Lobbying by the business community was to be expected, but there are some pragmatic and legal problems as well.

Cummings' success means four of the first seven stages of this year's Tour have been won by British riders, with Mark Cavendish victorious in three.
BMC's Belgian rider Greg van Avermaet was fifth to extend his overall lead.
Team Sky's Chris Froome finished safely despite an inflatable arch, marking 1km to go, collapsing onto the road.
British rider Adam Yates, of Orica-BikeExchange, was sent flying as the obstacle deflated in front of him after opening a small gap on the peloton.
It was initially unclear whether that advantage would count as Yates, who has impressed already on this Tour, was classed as having lost three minutes and 38 seconds on other general classification riders after being patched up for injuries.
But organisers revised the result to include his seven-second advantage held at the 3km mark, meaning the 23-year-old is now second in the overall standings, five minutes 50 seconds behind Van Avermaet.
Englishman Cummings, 35, was part of a 29-strong breakaway group that established a lead early in the 162.5km stage - the first in the Pyrenees - and was one of four riders who remained clear with 35km to go.
With 25km left, he broke free from that group and never looked back as he increased his lead up the first category one climb of this year's Tour, the Col d'Aspin.
That also put him clear of Giro d'Italia winner Vincenzo Nibali, who tired towards the end and finished fourth, although the Italian did claw back some time on those ahead of him in the general classification.
Once Cummings, who claimed his first Tour stage win last year for South Africa-based MTN-Qhuebeka on Nelson Mandela Day, reached the top he was far enough clear to negotiate the descent into the finish in Lac de Payolle.
His 65-second advantage over Daryl Impey in second gave Team Dimension Data - for whom Cavendish also rides - their fourth stage win of the race.
"I feel pretty exhausted, but I'm obviously ecstatic," he told ITV4. "The team has been fantastic. It's great to be with Mark Cavendish - he's such a legend - and today was a brilliant day.
"It was hot at the end. I was cooking up a bit, but I gave it everything to the top of Col d'Aspin, knowing the race had finished by the time I got there."
Cummings' victory at last year's Tour also came courtesy of a breakaway, and he has also won three world tour stages this year.
That has led to calls for him to join the British team for this summer's Rio Olympics, though that would be a significant and late change of heart by selectors.
Asked if he should be picked for the Olympics, which start on 5 August, Cummings said: "I don't know. If I was coach I would, but I'm not a selector. They have experts there so let them get on with it."
BBC Radio 5 live commentator Rob Hatch added: "On form he merits selection, however British Cycling clearly have a plan to ride for Froome.
"Cummings would be a strong outsider to take the win in Rio, but questions have been raised about how committed he would be riding for Froome. The Olympic teams are small - just five riders - and Britain obviously feel they can't afford the luxury of taking a rider as a Plan B.
"I don't believe there's any way back for him."
The drop into the finish after a long climb played into the hands of Nibali, who is an accomplished descender and was looking to make up time after a poor start to his Tour.
The Astana rider began the day with a gap of over 14 minutes to leader Van Avermaet, but his efforts in the breakaway group brought him 50 seconds closer to his rivals for the general classification despite previously insisting his overall challenge was over.
The fact it was not more was down to a late charge from the peloton, of which Froome was a part, as they realised Nibali had the potential to do more damage. At one point he was over four minutes in front.
Van Avermaet was one of the surprises of the day, as he hung onto this yellow jersey. Not renowned as a climber he was one of the lead-out group, and avoided being swallowed up the peloton.
The Belgian increased his lead to second-placed French rider Julian Alaphilippe and other contenders, including Froome, by one minute and 25 seconds.
Elsewhere, there was disappointment for the French fans as Thibaut Pinot lost almost three minutes on an energy-sapping day.
Geraint Thomas remained 40 seconds behind team-mate Froome.

Junior doctor Rosena Allin-Khan received 17,894 votes, winning with a majority of 6,357.
She paid tribute to "proud and passionate" Labour MP Jo Cox, who was killed in her West Yorkshire constituency on Thursday.
Earlier, a two-minute silence was held during the count in tribute to Mrs Cox.
Conservative candidate Dan Watkins, who had come second to Mr Khan at the 2015 general election, received 11,537 votes.
Dr Allin-Khan said that due to the "horrific events of yesterday and the shocking death of Jo Cox" she would not make a speech.
But she said her thoughts and prayers were with Mrs Cox's husband and her children.
"She was a proud and passionate campaigner who will be desperately missed," Dr Allin-Khan said.
"Jo's death reminds us that our democracy is precious but fragile - we must never forget to cherish it.
"Thousands of people voted today and we are all here in recognition of our democratic values."
Labour MP for Eltham, Clive Efford, said there would be no celebrations in Tooting following the death of Mrs Cox.
"It's not appropriate. No-one feels in the mood," he said.
"This has never happened on an election campaign. We just had to dry our tears and get out there."
By Ben Wright, BBC political correspondent
"Please excuse my interruption. I would like to ask the counting teams and party agents to take a brief pause in their activities."
And at the Mayor of Wandsworth's gentle instruction, the Tooting by-election count was hushed.
At trestle tables piled with yellow ballot papers, council staff stopped what they were doing and solemnly took part in a two-minute silence for the Labour MP Jo Cox, who died after she was attacked in her West Yorkshire constituency.
It was a sombre, poignant evening, the process of electing an MP horribly overshadowed by the death of another.
But as the Wandsworth mayor, councillor Richard Field, said as he introduced the declaration, the process of democracy must continue.
The result, when it came, was not surprising.
The former Tooting MP and new London Mayor Sadiq Khan held this seat in 2015 with a majority of 2,842.
The constituency's new Labour MP, Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, is Tooting born and raised and works as an A&E doctor at the local St George's Hospital.
But she and her party will be delighted with the result, increasing Labour's majority to 6,357.
But there was no applause here at Wandsworth Town Hall when the result was announced.
Earlier, Returning Officer and Mayor of Wandsworth Richard Field said he wanted to "express the sadness everyone involved in this by-election has felt".
Mr Field said the "tragic event" had a "very deep resonance here in this room, as the votes are counted for Tooting's new member of Parliament".
He said he wanted to "convey our deep-felt condolences to those closest" to Mrs Cox.
The flag over Wandsworth Town Hall was flying at half mast, Acting Returning Officer Paul Martin said.
He said the killing had cast a "very dark shadow" over the day.
The MP for Batley and Spen died after being shot and stabbed outside her constituency advice surgery in Birstall, West Yorkshire, on Thursday.
Mr Martin said the killing had "shocked the entire country, and it has hit home particularly hard in Tooting where right now the community is in the process of selecting a new member of Parliament to represent their interests".
"It is our duty and responsibility to continue with this by-election, but clearly a very dark shadow has been cast over these proceedings. The flag over Wandsworth Town Hall is now flying at half mast and we will hold a two-minute silence during this evening's count to reflect upon this awful loss."
He added: "Our thoughts, prayers and deep condolences are with Jo's family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time."
Polls closed at 22:00 BST in the by-election to replace Labour's Mr Khan.
Here are the full results:
Rosena Chantelle Allin-Khan, Labour Party, 17,894
Dan Watkins, Conservative Party, 11,537

The turnout was 42.5%, with 31,763 votes cast out of 74,701 eligible voters.
But analysis of House of Commons Library figures last week by the Press Association suggests it could be the biggest 12-month period we've had.
In the financial year 2015-16, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) reckons the government could raise about £32bn from selling public assets, the biggest chunk of which would be about £13bn from the sale of the government's stake in Lloyds Banking Group, followed closely by about £12bn from the sale of UK Asset Resolution, which owns the remaining bits of Northern Rock and Bradford and Bingley.
Other big price-tag sales include more of the government's stake in RBS, Royal Mail and the Student Loan book.
PA adjusted previous years of privatisations to current money and found that 2015-16 would be the biggest year for privatisations by far.
The previous high-water marks had been 1987 when chunks of BA, BAA, BP and Rolls-Royce raised about £22.7bn in today's money, and 1991 when the sale of parts of BT, National Power, PowerGen and regional electricity companies in Scotland raised about £22.6bn.
Now, these figures are not perfect - for starters we are comparing a financial year, 2015-16, with previous calendar years.
Also, IFS director Paul Johnson's recent review of inflation statistics warned against the use of RPI for anything whatsoever as a result of its statistical flaws. Even so, the difference between 2015-16 and any year since the start of the Thatcher era in 1979 is startling.
The OBR suggests that we won't be seeing another year like it any time soon, predicting total proceeds of £32bn from the rest of the remaining four years of the parliament put together.
But that figure is only made up of continuing sales of the RBS stake and the Student Loans book.
The Conservatives' manifesto this year was very clear that the party planned to continue selling stakes in bailed-out banks and building societies and also that it would continue to sell unneeded government property.
But there was no mention of any of the other rumoured sales such as the Royal Mint or the Met Office.
The sale of the government's stake in Eurostar has been announced, but there are still difficulties in the sale of the stake in Urenco, which is a supplier of nuclear fuel.
It's important to remember what the sale of public assets does for the public finances. It does not reduce the deficit, which is the amount the government needs to borrow in a year.
It does reduce the country's overall debt, which also reduces the amount of interest that has to be paid each year.
On the other hand, while the government gets cash upfront when it privatises something, it loses its share of any profits that might have been made in the future.
The Open University, the UK's open access university, which allows people to study from home in their own time, has been an international pioneer of degree courses online.
The university, with more than 263,000 students in 23 countries, has become a record breaker on the iTunes U service, which provides a digital library of materials for university students and staff.
Instead of music or movies, Apple's iTunes U provides a download service for lectures and resources from universities around the world.
Top universities from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard in the US to Oxford and Cambridge in the UK have been making their materials available, with no charge to the user.
There have been 31 million downloads of OU materials, more than any other university, representing roughly 10% of all iTunes U downloads. Nearly 90% of these users are from outside the UK.
In this online era, the OU student is also getting younger. A quarter of students are aged under-25 and only 10% are aged 50 or over. That change can only be accelerated as the cost of going to university increases in many countries.
The prospect of learning from Harvard from your own bedroom is getting closer.
But it's not the elite universities where the idea of online study is going to make its biggest impact, suggests Anthony Salcito, Microsoft's US-based vice-president of worldwide education.
"When talking to folks in places like Dubai and China I thought that the questions and the admiration would be for institutions like Harvard and Stanford.
"However, the actual part of the US education system that is most envied, that other institutions are trying to replicate, is the community college system in the US, founded on a belief that a degree and opportunity are rights for all citizens. And we have got to enable the population of students attending higher education to scale up.
"One of the things about the community college system in the US - Miami Dade College for example - is that it is very connected to employment and the workforce.
"So community colleges typically tune their degrees and their options to the jobs and opportunities of the industries that are in those communities. And that connection between employability and education is what is driving a lot of this change."
Mr Salcito also points to African villagers using the most up-to-date expertise on irrigation from MIT as an example of the consequences of universities opening up their courses and materials.
"What I am most excited about is that the privilege of going to higher education is not something that is connected to the wealthy or to the smartest or most well-equipped students for the future. It is becoming a wider social imperative."
But will the arrival of online degrees change the way that people study at university?
Lord Jim Knight, former education minister in England, has had a long interest in educational technology.
The type of "self-service" degrees available through the internet are one model, he says, but there are other options that could emerge, such as part-online and part-campus.
"Some people tell me we should be looking at perhaps more of an American model, where you do the first year or two of your degree from home at a community college - in the UK that could be a further education college or even at school - and you only go to finish off when you really need access to the research, your senior lecturer, your director of studies face to face.
"Until that point you can do it at distance, having peer-to-peer learning and using some of the things we are used to, like social networking, for exchanges of ideas and papers," says Lord Knight.
"Why would you go along to a university and hear someone who may or may not be the best in their field when you can go on to iTunes U and hear a lecture by the very best?
"That development of choice and access to quality, and people being digital natives, will, I think, transform things. Whether universities are yet ready to make those changes is another question."
At the Open University, Peter Scott says they are trying to develop services that give students exactly what they want, from face-to-face learning to the fully online experience.
"We can produce brilliant televisual material and get it to you on YouTube, on iTunes U or even on the web. We don't need the one-to-many model.
"Conventional universities are forced into this one-to-many, someone lecturing to a timetable, because they have buildings to fill... Our materials are designed for you to work with remotely."
While the OU delivers to its students on a range of media, the greatest excitement is being stirred by its performance on iTunes U.
High-quality podcasts and video materials are now the norm, but the number of multimedia books will soon rise to 430. Open one of these on an iPad and you can click on pictures and links to move seamlessly to videos and podcasts.
"If there's music or audio it just plays," says Mr Scott. "I'm so excited, the potential is really great."
Mr Scott agrees that universities can now market their courses globally online, and arrange for support and accreditation locally if required - franchise heaven for institutions.
So does this make "Harvard in your bedroom" more likely?
"Hey, what's Harvard? Is it a brand, is it a couple of people? Think about this. What do you really want? Do you really want to learn? Because I can tell you that the best place to do it is here. It isn't in some Ivy League university. It's right here," says Mr Scott.
Anthony Salcito says online education will be a way of opening up more choice and getting beyond the big brand names of the most exclusive universities.
"As we open up education and technology, the tyranny of the education brand will change and evolve because of the choice that students have," he says.

The boy's body was recovered from Torduff Reservoir in Bonaly Country Park.
Bockarie, from Musselburgh, played football for local youth team Redhall Star.
The club expressed total shock at his death. A statement said: "He was a huge presence with a huge smile."
On its website, the club added: "He could light up the room with his bouncy personality.
"He was a leader on and off the park and well respected by everyone at the club.
"His strength and football ability earned him many plaudits over the years. This lad was a huge prospect in the game.
"No words can fully express our grief and dismay at what has happened. We can only pass on all our thoughts and prayers to friends, family, teammates and coaches and hope they will get some strength from the out-pouring of love and support from everyone.
"Bockarie Sonnah, you are a legend who will be missed by everyone but never be forgotten."
A police statement said Bockarie, who had previously lived in the Longstone area, had been swimming with friends in the water when he got into difficulty.
Emergency services were contacted and specialist resources were deployed during the search from about 18:15.
Police Scotland's Marine Unit recovered the teenager's body at about 22:00 on Monday.
There were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
Insp Liz Duthie said: "This tragic incident demonstrates, that all bodies of water can present a number of hazards that can put the public in danger."
The reservoir is owned by Scottish Water and there are signs up to warn people against swimming.
Eyewitness James Cunningham was one of a group who tried to rescue Bockarie.
He told BBC Scotland he had arrived at the reservoir with two friends and heard screams.
"There were three or four people at the water's edge and we thought they were kidding, having a laugh," he said.
Then a woman ran past and told the men a boy was drowning.
According to Mr Cunningham, the boy was 20ft to 25ft out into the reservoir and waving his arms.
He said he grabbed a rope from his van to secure himself and his friends as they entered the water but the boy had disappeared by the time they got back.
"The water was really cold and we could not see anything under the water," he said.
"We stayed in the water for 15 to 20 minutes. We kept scanning the area. There was no sign of the boy whatsoever."
Patients requiring emergency care in the South West were left waiting "for long periods", the Care Quality Commission (CQC) found.
Inspectors said the 111 service, run by South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT), put callers' safety at risk.
SWASFT chief executive Ken Wenman said the report contained "no surprises".
Click here for the latest updates on this story
He said there was no evidence the service had caused clinical harm but accepted it was "no way near what it should be".
Mr Wenman said: "The CQC report does point out that we were understaffed... it's very difficult to recruit and retain members of staff, particularly clinical staff in this type of service, and that's the focus that we're going to be having as part of the improvements that we're going to make over the coming months."
Chris Nelson, joint branch secretary at Unison for South West Ambulance, said the report was "clearly very damning".
"What we experience within NHS 111 is indicative, unfortunately, of the national problem with NHS 111, a service that is poorly understood, poorly commissioned, poorly funded will always fail, despite the clear and obvious efforts that are being made by our members", he said.
The inspection was brought forward after a former senior call adviser for the non-emergency hotline said staff were asleep on the job.
Melissa Mead, whose son died of sepsis after the 111 service and GPs failed to spot his condition, said the report confirmed "her doubts and suspicions" but she hoped it would bring improvements to the service.
"We can't bring William back but for us the best apology is to change behaviour", she said.
A team of 13 inspectors visited two call centres, which serve Dorset, Devon and Cornwall, on three occasions in March.
They found the service "had been consistently failing to meet national standards", and "too many patients" abandoned their calls due to long waiting times.
The report said staff were stressed and tired, and calls were being answered by staff "who were not trained to assess patients' symptoms".
6%
Life threatening conditions which took more than 3 minutes to be passed to the ambulance service
21 hours
Longest wait for a call back in Devon
14% Calls unanswered in the South West in 2015
8% National average of unanswered calls in 2015
Patients were at risk of harm because the system used to assess the urgency of a caller's medical needs was "not good enough", chief inspector of hospitals Professor Sir Mike Richards said.
Despite a "large number of complaints" from staff, patients and healthcare professionals about the service, SWASFT only took "limited action" to deal with the problems, the report found.
However it highlighted the "calm, patient and professional manner" of frontline staff, who were "reassuring when responding to people calling in distress".
Nationally 95% of NHS 111 calls should be answered in 60 seconds - but in the South West only 72% of calls at one point were hitting this target, inspectors said.
The CQC has issued a warning notice to SWASFT, which has been ordered to make "significant improvements" by 8 July.
A separate report commissioned by SWASFT found no evidence for many of the allegations made about the service by whistleblower Sarah Hayes, who told the Daily Mail newspaper that staff had fallen asleep.
Ms Hayes did not appear to have raised her concerns using any of the internal channels, it said, but it acknowledged staff felt there had been "insufficient clinical support available".
The report did not consider allegations relating to performance or patient safety at the request of SWASFT.
Several members were in tears as their colleagues shared their experiences and called for more to be done to reduce the number of deaths.
Conservative Antoinette Sandbach said losing her son was the "most devastating" event a parent can suffer.
Labour's Vicky Foxcroft said the pain of losing her five day-old daughter "never, ever goes away".
Ministers say they are aiming for a 20% reduction in stillbirths and infant deaths by 2020.
Each year about 3,500 babies in the UK are stillborn, defined as being born with no signs of life after 24 completed weeks of pregnancy - one in every 200 babies.
Another 2,000 babies die within the first four weeks of their lives, during the neonatal period.
Ms Sandbach and fellow Tory MP Will Quince, who has also lost a child, secured the debate which coincides with Baby Loss Awareness Week.
Opening the debate, Ms Sandbach, who lost her five-day-old son in 2009, said: "Parliament is helping to break the silence around the death of a child, which is the most devastating event that can happen to any parent."
She said there had been a "huge response" after she and Mr Quince spoke about the subject in a separate Commons debate last year.
The MP for Eddisbury added: "The sheer scale of child loss in the UK is an injustice and one that is suffered by so many families, year in, year out." It was "devastating" for each family affected.
In an emotional speech Ms Foxcroft, who was 16 when her daughter Veronica died aged five days, said she had not told many of her friends what had happened.
"She was never able to cry, to smile, but I loved her and I desperately wanted her.
"I still love her, she is always in my thoughts all these years afterwards, even if I do not talk about her all the time."
"The pain does get easier over time, but it never, ever goes away," she added.
Ms Foxcroft said she had been treated "like a kid, not a grieving mum", by every organisation she dealt with afterwards.
The next MP to speak, Conservative Sir Nicholas Soames, appeared close to tears when he stood up.
Mr Quince's son was diagnosed with the rare chromosomal disorder, Edwards' syndrome, at his 20-week scan.
The Tory MP for Colchester told the Commons his son was "an incredible little fighter" who eventually lost his life in the last moments of labour.
On Wednesday it would have been his second birthday.
"I think about what he would have been like on his second birthday, I imagine a small boy running round our house causing havoc, winding up his sisters.
"It's not to be, but every single day you live with that grief. Fathers need that support too."
Mr Quince, who co-chairs the new all-party parliamentary group on baby loss, called for improvements in prevention, reducing smoking and obesity in mothers, as well as investigating why stillbirths occurred.
Responding for the government, Health Minister Philip Dunne said he had been "humbled" at the MPs' accounts of their experiences.
"There was barely a dry eye in the House when they were speaking, and I think that pays due tribute to their bravery and courage," he said.
Mr Dunne said it was important to encourage best practice across the NHS to minimise "insensitive conduct" towards grieving parents.
He said the government was working to improve the "unacceptable" rate of stillbirths, with the UK lagging behind other countries in reducing the numbers.
Sands, a stillborn and neonatal death charity, says 60% of pregnancies that continue to term but end in stillbirths could be prevented by applying the minimum standards of antenatal care and guidance for mothers and babies.
According to NHS Choices, about 10% of stillborn babies have some kind of birth defect that contributed to their death while about half of all stillbirths are linked to complications with the placenta.
A leading obstetrician, Professor Kypros Nicolaides, told the BBC in 2014 that offering all women Doppler scans, which measure blood flow between the placenta and foetus, could save 1,500 babies a year.
Game creator Sports Interactive will provide information for Prozone Recruiter, an online analysis tool used by many clubs to scout talent.
The Football Manager database will supply biographical, contractual and positional details to Prozone.
"The database is a highly accurate and valuable resource," said Prozone chief executive Thomas Schmider.
"It will further enhance the recruitment services that we provide."
Prozone conduct performance analysis and will use the game's information in their system, which aids clubs in their player recruitment.
Football Manager studio director Miles Jacobson added: "For years we've heard stories of real-life managers and scouts using our data to help with the recruitment process.
"From now on, it's official. Real managers around the world will be finding and comparing players using data and a search system that will be very familiar to players of Football Manager."
Dodman, 51, admitting taking £12,000 from a house where he knew the occupant had a safe and £600 in cash from a betting shop, Mold Crown Court heard.
In the home raid the victim jumped out of a bedroom window to get help.
Dodman's lawyer said he was a man of "contradictions" who had been a golf professional for eight years and Welsh PGA champion in 1987.
Henry Hills, defending, described Dodman, as "an intelligent, gifted and cultured man" who was obsessed with gambling which motivated his actions.
He had previous convictions for 23 fraud offences and 26 thefts, the court was told.
Dodman, of no fixed abode, was arrested in a hotel in Warrington days after threatening a lone pregnant member of staff at Corbett's Bookmakers.
He also threatened to cut the ear off the home owner in the second raid.
When he was arrested, police found knives, gloves and a face mask in Dodman's car along with more than £4,000 in cash.
Judge Rhys Rowlands said the robberies were "a serious escalation" in his offending.
A flagship policy of Margaret Thatcher, it faces abolition by ministers who say they want to protect the stock of social housing for those who need it.
In the meantime, the maximum discount under the right-to-buy scheme is set to be cut from £16,000 to £8,000.
The scheme will also be immediately suspended in Carmarthenshire due to local housing shortages.
The Welsh Conservatives' shadow housing minister Mark Isherwood described the move as "an anti-aspiration, nanny-state-knows-best decision which limits housing supply and denies people in council properties the choice and power to buy their council house".
Right-to-buy, one of the Thatcher government's most popular policies, was blamed by critics for reducing the stock of social housing.
More than 130,000 houses in Wales have been bought under right-to-buy, for council tenants, and right-to-acquire, for housing association tenants, since 1980.
In 2003, the maximum discount in Wales was cut from £24,000 to £16,000.
Most social housing tenants in Wales currently have the right to buy their home once they have been renting it for five years.
But, since 2008, annual sales in Wales have been in the low hundreds.
Housing Minister Lesley Griffiths said she wanted to "protect social housing stock for people who really need it".
"Some of those houses have been bought through right-to-buy and ended up in the private rented sector," she said.
"I want to ensure that people who require social housing don't have to languish on waiting lists for a long period of time."
In England, where the maximum discount has been increased to up to £75,000, sales have risen sharply over the past three years.
Meanwhile the Scottish government is ending right-to-buy.
Pauline Barnett from the West Cross estate in Swansea bought her council house in 1982.
"As soon as we moved in we put in to buy it - it was something we always wanted to do.
"It was nice to have something we had which belonged to us, and we could do what we wanted.
"We've had double glazing put in, central heating, a conservatory and we had fitted wardrobes in the front bedroom.
"It was something we owned and it was ours."
The European Committee on Social Rights (ECSR) says the hours UK children can work are "excessive".
Some local by-laws allow UK children as young as 13 to do "light work" like delivering newspapers or shop work.
But work considered light "ceases to be so if it is performed for an excessive duration", says the report.
UK law allows children to work up to 12 hours a week during term time, with a maximum of two hours on school days and Sundays.
It stipulates children should not work more than an hour before school and should not start work before 7am or finish after 7pm - but local by-laws can sometimes be less restrictive, the report found.
The Committee monitors how individual states apply the legally binding European Social Charter.
It is part of the Council of Europe which was set up by statesmen including Sir Winston Churchill to promote human rights in Europe and is completely separate from the European Union.
The Charter requires that during the school term, the time children may work must be limited "so as not to interfere with their attendance, receptiveness and homework", the report points out.
For example "allowing children aged 15 years, still subject to compulsory education, to deliver newspapers from 6am for up to two hours per day, five days per week before school is not in conformity with the charter", it adds.
The report also expresses concern about work by children during the school holidays.
Excessive working hours for children can risk "their health, moral welfare or education", it suggests.
In the UK, 15- to 16-year-olds can work a maximum of 35 hours a week in the school holidays, with a maximum of eight hours on weekdays and Saturdays and two hours on Sundays.
For 13- to 14-year olds, school holiday working times are restricted to 25 hours a week, with a maximum of five hours on weekdays and Saturdays and two hours on Sundays.
The Charter requires children in full-time education to have a two-week break from any work during the school holidays in a calendar year.
In the report, the committee asks the UK for confirmation that children have two consecutive weeks free from work during the summer holiday in the United Kingdom.
It asks the UK for more detailed information on how it monitors possible illegal employment of children and what sanctions are imposed against employers who do not comply with restrictions under the law.
The Department for Education did not directly address the ECSR's suggestion that the hours UK children are allowed to work are "excessive" but said there were "clear rules to protect school age children".
"They limit time that teenagers can spend working - especially within the school term," said a spokesman.
Tom Watson said Labour had a "mountain to climb" to catch up with the Tories before 8 June's vote.
He told the Guardian: "It is going be very, very difficult... but we are determined to do it."
In her latest campaign visit, Theresa May accused Labour of "deserting" working class voters.
In his interview, Mr Watson asked for voters to consider that "a lot of local MPs are running on a good track record" when people head to the polling stations next month.
Speaking on a tour of marginal seats in Wales, Mr Watson said Labour had "terrifically exciting" proposals in its manifesto - a draft of which was leaked earlier this week - but he was concerned about how far behind Labour were.
"If we get to 8 June and [Theresa May] still commands the lead in the polls that she had at the start of the election, she will command a Margaret Thatcher-style majority," said Mr Watson, referring to the Tories' 144- and 101-seat victories in 1983 and 1987 respectively.
Appealing for voters' backing, he added: "A Conservative government with a 100 majority... it will be very hard for them to be held to account in the House of Commons.
"It means there won't be the usual checks and balances of democracy... all those things go out of the window.
"You end up with governance by Theresa May without much accountability - and I don't think anybody wants that."
On Friday, Mrs May travelled to Tyne and Wear to appeal to an area that traditionally voted Labour.
"Proud and patriotic working-class people in towns and cities across Britain have not deserted the Labour Party - Jeremy Corbyn has deserted them," she said.
"We respect that parents and grandparents taught their children and grandchildren that Labour was a party that shared their values and stood up for their community.
"But across the country today, traditional Labour supporters are increasingly looking at what Jeremy Corbyn believes in and are appalled."
Mr Watson said the claim that the Tories are the party of the working classes was "the biggest myth perpetuated by London-based marketeers", and his party had to disprove it.
The accolade was awarded by cycling's international governing body, the UCI.
The Scottish event was held in June and drew a crowd of almost 20,000 people.
The competition forms the third stage of the UCI World Cup Downhill championships and was first held 14 years ago.
The competitions are held on a course at Nevis Range, near Fort William.
This year, British downhill rider Rachel Atherton won the women's final for the ninth consecutive time.
Salisbury-born Atherton finished 12 seconds ahead of second-placed Tracey Hannah, from Australia.
Manon Carpenter, from Caerphilly, South Wales, recovered from a crash to finish third.
South African Greg Minaar won the men's final. The USA's Aaron Gwin was second and Danny Hart, from Redcar, third.
The new deal sees the removal of a relegation release clause which was included when the 33-year-old joined the Sky Blues on an 18-month contract in January.
Manager Mark Robins told the club website that Beavon had impressed.
"Stuart is is a model professional with a tremendous attitude and can play a significant role," Robins added.
Beavon first made his mark in league football at Wycombe Wanderers and has also played for Preston North End and Burton Albion.
Brewer Tennent Caledonian said it was part of its commitment to promote responsible drinking.
Last year, the UK's chief medical officer recommended that adults should drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week.
The revised guidelines will start to appear on 24 packs of 440ml, 500ml and 568ml Tennent's cans later this month.
The new label comes almost a year after the brand started publishing calorie information on its packaging.
Sales director at Tennent's, Alan Hay, said the labelling would help drinkers make "informed decisions".
He said: "Including the latest weekly unit advice on our packaging was the logical next step following our decision to be the first alcohol business in the UK to display calorie content on our products in 2016.
"Consumers are increasingly more interested in their food and drink intake.
"We are a business committed to responsibility around our brands and believe it's important to communicate this information so our drinkers can make informed decisions about their alcohol consumption."
The new labels will also include a warning to avoid alcohol if pregnant or trying to conceive and direct consumers to the Drink Aware website.
C&C Group, which owns Tennent's, will also include the guidelines on other brands, such as Magners Cider over the next year.
Scotland's chief medical officer, Dr Catherine Calderwood, called on all drinks manufacturers to follow suit.
She added: "The UK chief medical officer guidelines give the public the latest and most up-to-date scientific information so that they can make informed decisions about their own drinking and understand the risks alcohol may pose to their health."
The pair were caught buying cocaine near the Champs Elysees avenue at around 03:00 (02:00 GMT) on Saturday morning, police sources said.
Williams, 35, plays for Racing 92 and O'Connor, 26, is at Toulon.
Last October two other New Zealanders playing for Racing 92 were cleared of doping charges.
The side are current champions of French rugby.
Two dealers are also in custody.
Racing 92 said in a statement (in French) that it had suspended Williams "temporarily".
"If the investigation confirmed the possession of cocaine and the transaction, it would not only be against the law but also a serious breach of our ethics," the club said.
Williams earned 77 New Zealand caps between 2002 and 2012.
O'Connor has made 44 appearances for Australia between 2008 and 2013.
There is no precise definition of a Jam household, but these families tend to have at least one person in work, are struggling to get by, and often have less than a month's income's worth of savings.
There are about six million households in this situation, according to the Resolution Foundation.
The BBC News website asked three families who identified themselves as "just about managing" what they wanted to hear from Chancellor Philip Hammond.
We will return to them after the Autumn Statement on Wednesday to see if the government has met their concerns.
I have three children, and I work full-time while my wife works part-time, and together we earn around £36,000. We've worked hard all our lives, don't smoke or drink, don't have expensive hobbies, don't have any great debts and watch our money carefully.
Still, we just manage to keep our heads above water. It's harder than it should be and is so difficult to have a decent lifestyle and make the finances work.
We haven't been on holiday for a couple of years - and the last time we went was after we had a windfall. I haven't seen much of a wage rise recently.
I work in the salmon industry, and that has been hit by fish prices and the drop in the pound. I don't see many job prospects up here - but if I was to move the family away, that would mean extra costs in terms of housing.
We have just sold our house and are looking to move but are currently living with my in-laws. If we didn't have family to rely on, it would be very difficult.
Half of my wife's money is lost to childcare and the one thing I'd like to see the government do is increase the number of hours of subsidised childcare. Childcare costs is the one thing that is really stifling us, as my wife has to turn down work because of it.
We just about get by - but after we pay our rent, council tax and all the other bills, there's not a lot left. We can't save.
My partner works while I look after our young children, aged six years, two, and four months. He works really hard as a builder and earns about £12 an hour. He's self-employed, so the amount he earns varies and if he is sick, we lose out on money.
If we have a problem with the car, or if my partner needs a certain tool for work, we might not have the money to make the rent or council tax. So we end up paying much more later. When we go shopping, sometimes we can't believe we haven't got any money despite working.
It feels like people who are not working are better off.
It's unfair that you have to have [high level] education to make a decent living. Everyone who works hard deserves to earn a decent wage.
We'd like to buy a property, but we just can't save up.
The one thing I'd like to hear from the government is help for people like us to buy a home. Everyone should be entitled to a house.
I also think that people on lower wages should pay less tax.
I am a single mum, working full-time, paying my own mortgage and all my own bills. I work in a children's centre as a receptionist and earn just over £21,000.
I have a daughter at university, and I claim child tax credits, which I have to use to help her pay her rent. She is the last year of students to receive a grant, but it still isn't enough for her to pay rent and living costs.
My son is at college, but I worry that I won't be able to help him go to university, because when he goes to university, the grants will have been abolished.
I'm not officially low-income, although I don't earn very much at all, so I don't qualify for any help with housing costs or my income.
There is no money for luxuries, holidays, new clothes or nights out for me.
I try very hard to make sure the kids don't miss out, but I end up staying in all the time as I can't afford to go out. We get to the end of the month, and the bills are all paid. Sometimes I think I don't quite know how. I would never borrow money - no payday loans. The last week of the month is tough.
I went on a budgeting course run by Christians Against Poverty.
I don't have large debts, I don't smoke, drink, gamble and I try to give to charity monthly and I volunteer every month.
I do everything I can to work hard and pay my own way, yet my situation is getting worse and worse. If interest rates go up, I'm going to find things even harder.
We're also in the process of moving to a cheaper area in Hertfordshire.
What do I want from government? I'd like them to reduce university fees and reinstate maintenance grants.
I'd like them to re-examine the level they call low income. Whilst people's wages can potentially go up, they don't go up in line with costs.

The study compares seals inhabiting the UK's busy shipping lanes to humans living in noisy cities.
Lead author Esther Jones said noise could affect how sea mammals such as whales, dolphins and seals find food and communicate with each other.
Eleven out of 25 conservation areas linked with seals were at high risk of overlap with shipping, the study found.
The paper has been published by the Journal of Applied Ecology.
Ecologist Dr Jones, a research fellow at the university, said: "Like humans living in busy, noisy cities, some seals live in areas where there is a lot of shipping traffic and associated noise.
"The UK has some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, and underwater noise has been increasing over the last 30 years."
The St Andrews team developed maps showing the levels of risk of exposure to vessel traffic for grey and harbour seals around the UK.
"This is particularly pertinent to harbour seals that are declining in some regions around the UK, as half of SACs [Special Areas of Conservation] associated with them had a high risk of exposure to shipping," Dr Jones said.
"Exposure risk was highest within 50km [31 miles] of the coast and any impacts will have the greatest effect on harbour seals as they generally stay close to land."
The team investigated the underwater noise levels generated by vessels that individual animals were exposed to in the Moray Firth using predictive acoustic noise models.
For 20 out of the 28 animals observed in the study, the levels of predicted noise were high enough that temporary hearing loss could occur.
The university said there was no evidence that seals were exposed to noise levels high enough to cause permanent hearing damage.
Dr Jones added: "Urbanisation of the marine environment is inevitably going to continue, so chronic ocean noise should be incorporated explicitly into marine spatial planning and management plans for existing marine protected areas."
The Spaniard replaces Laurent Blanc, who left his position in charge after three years at the French league champions on Monday.
Emery, 44, won the Europa League with Sevilla in each of his three full seasons in charge of the La Liga club.
"It's with great pride that I accept the challenge of coaching PSG," said Emery, who has also coached Valencia.
"This club has become one of the biggest in Europe over recent seasons, and I am happy and honoured to help lead it towards achieving its goals."
Emery spent the majority of his playing career in the Spanish second tier, before moving into management.
Runners, some wearing blue Santa outfits in support of Everton, set off from the waterfront for the 5K race.
Organiser BTR Liverpool said it will be a "huge boost" to take the title back from Las Vegas after four years.
Final numbers are being counted but Las Vegas' Santa Dash had fewer than 8,000 people on Saturday, BTR Liverpool said.
This year's fun run featured the biggest Mini Dash 1K for children aged under 12 with 750 taking part.
BTR Race Director Alan Rothwell said: "All our Santa Dashers really got into the spirit of the day, with some very creative costumes.
"It is very fitting that we have regained the World Santa Challenge title on our 10th anniversary.
"We are absolutely thrilled. We are now not only the UK's biggest festive fun run - but now also the world's."
Serena plays unseeded Russian Elena Vesnina, 29, in Thursday's first semi-final on Centre Court at 13:00 BST.
Eighth seed Venus, 36, faces Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber, 28.
"With everything she's been through, I think it's built a ton of character in her, and in me by just being around her," said 34-year-old Serena.
"She has a lot of perseverance, she's a real fighter."
Six-time champion Serena has won three of the four all-Williams' finals, with the last coming in 2009.

Five-time champion Venus, who last won the title in 2008, is appearing in her first Grand Slam semi-final since the 2010 US Open.
She is the oldest major semi-finalist since Martina Navratilova was runner-up at Wimbledon in 1994.
Venus, who slipped outside the world's top 100 in 2011 after being diagnosed with the immune system disorder Sjogren's syndrome, says the American sisters have not discussed the prospect of facing each other in Saturday's final despite playing doubles together.
"We get out there and we're focused on that moment because we have to be. So the talk about what could happen is not as important as what's happening in that round," she said.
"Of course, this is great for both of us. But when you're a player, you're so focused on the next match, and that's what we're both focused on."
German Kerber, the fourth seed, has moved impressively through the draw without dropping a set.
She defeated Serena Williams in the Australian Open final in January for her first Slam title, but lost in the first round of the French Open.
After beating Simona Halep in the quarter-finals, Kerber said: "I'm playing really good tennis right now... I think I'm playing like in Australia. I know I can win such tournaments.
"When I came onto the tour the two Williams sisters were always the top favourites but in the meantime I have won against them both and so the respect is there. So my perception of them both has changed over the years."
"We've had a lot of great matches, she and I," Venus Williams said of Kerber, who has won three of their five previous matches.
"We haven't played in a while and clearly she's had a great year with a great result in a Slam, but I'd love to be walking towards the final."
It would be one of the biggest shocks of modern times if world number 50 and doubles specialist Vesnina could defeat Serena Williams and reach her first Grand Slam final.
After reaching the last four, the Russian joked that she was being inspired by 'the Lendl effect', a hashtag that sprung up after Andy Murray reunited with coach Ivan Lendl last month.
"Bruno Soares, my mixed doubles partner, he tweeted three weeks ago at the Queen's tournament, there is, with a hashtag, a Lendl effect, because he's playing with Jamie Murray, who is brother of Andy Murray, who won Queen's.
"There's definitely a Lendl effect. I tweeted them back, 'I'm your partner in mixed doubles'. He said, 'You will see, you will get it'. And now I am in semi-final of Wimbledon. There is something in it."
Serena Williams, who has beaten Vesnina in all four previous meetings, said: "She has a really good grass court game. She has a really good serve. I notice that she always works on things and she always improves her game.
"She's also very aggressive, she comes to the net. I know her game really, really well. It's good to play someone's game that you know."

Nine-time singles champion Martina Navratilova told BBC Sport: "It's hard to go against the Williams sisters both reaching the final because they have been there so many times.
"Serena seems to get better and better as a tournament goes on and you cannot go against her.
"Vesnina is the surprise package. It has been an amazing effort from her to come out of nowhere. She could play the match of her life and go through.
"For Venus, a lot of balls will be coming back from Kerber, who is playing her best tennis since the Australian Open.
"Mentally, she can handle winning Wimbledon - she's done it [won a Slam] by beating Serena Williams in Melbourne. That hurdle has been cleared.
"It comes down to whether her game is good enough. She needs to play brave tennis. But I'd say maybe a slight edge to Venus."
Lindsay Davenport, the 1999 champion, said about Serena: "Something she does so much better now than she used to do is learn from the losses. Now I think she takes the time to think about 'what I didn't do right, what do I need to make better'. She really wants it.
"She's mastered the two biggest shots in tennis - the serve and return - and no one else can really do that in women's tennis."

Daniel Adewole suffered a sudden unexpected death in epilepsy at Cookham Wood jail in Kent in 2015.
The inquest in Maidstone heard that despite repeated attempts to rouse him by kicking his locked door, officers did not enter the cell for 38 minutes.
They assumed he was asleep on the floor, hidden by his bed cover.
One officer went for a cigarette in between checking on him, the inquest heard, and another did not use her emergency key because she feared she might be attacked.
Medical experts told the hearing it was likely Daniel had been dead for any time between half an hour and several hours before he was found.
Senior coroner Patricia Harding said she was not satisfied Daniel's death could have been prevented had his cell been entered earlier.
Giving her conclusion, she said the events were of "significant concern", but she had received information from the prison estate that changes had been made to prevent similar cases.
After the hearing, a Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mr Adewole and we will carefully consider the findings of the inquest."
Edwin Mee, 46, is accused of exploiting his position of trust and power to abuse or rape women while working at Army offices in Croydon, south east London.
Mr Mee, of Tavistock Road, Croydon, denied the allegations.
He told Southwark Crown Court the Army was his "life".
Mr Mee is charged with 17 counts of sexual assault, three rapes and one count of assault by penetration against 11 victims in 2010 and 2011.
The alleged attacks happened while he was working at the Mitcham Barracks Army Careers and Information Office in Croydon.
Asked in court by Lisa Wilding QC, defending, how he responded to the allegations, Mr Mee replied: "That never happened ma'am."
The court heard that he joined the army aged 24 and went on to serve in Iraq - where he was attached to the Special Forces - and in Afghanistan and Bosnia.
He was suspended in 2011 and medically discharged from the Army in April 2014.
When asked him how he felt about his time in the service Mr Mee said: "The Army was my life, and if it wasn't for all this mess I would still be there."
He conceded that he would swear in the recruitment office and shouted at recruits.
He also admitted he would make comments to "threaten or intimidate" recruits because the Army is not a nine to five job, and they needed to understand that they could lose their lives.
However, Mr Mee also said he was "protective" of his candidates and felt he was in the best position to help them, occasionally "cutting corners".
The court was told he disregarded normal recruitment procedures to keep recruits to himself and he interviewed applicants out of hours to "deliberately target" his victims.
One of the women claims she was a virgin in her early 20s, but became pregnant after Mr Mee raped her in a locked waiting room.
The trial continues.
Sheffield Council said the Cake 'R' Us store, on Devonshire Street, was part of a Grade II-listed building and no consent was gained before painting.
A formal enforcement notice would soon be served, a council spokesman said.
Owner David Chan could not be reached for comment, but previously said it was painted in an "act of national pride".
A complaint about the shop, which is in part of the former Wharncliffe Fireclay Works built for John Armitage in 1888, was received in January 2015.
The council said the front of the store should be repainted "in a colour scheme that is more in keeping with the original 19th Century characteristics of the building".
Councillor Mazher Iqbal, cabinet member for transport and infrastructure, said: "The tenant has yet to submit a formal application suggesting a suitable alternative frontage for the building, but, if he does, we will work with him to develop his proposal to an acceptable standard."
Speaking in April, Mr Chan said he would "write to the Queen" if the council took legal action, as he did not "see anything wrong with it".
The works, in connection with the £1bn St James Quarter development, are to start after the Edinburgh Festival in September and last for 44 weeks.
Leith street is to be "levelled out", have high-quality paving and be made more pedestrian-friendly.
A new gas main and water drainage system would also be installed.
The road will be closed from Calton Road to Waterloo Place.
Martin Perry, director for development for TH Real Estate, which is developing the new St James Centre, said: "The development team has been working closely with the City of Edinburgh Council to carefully plan the best approach for essential utility works around the Edinburgh St James development.
"Our recommended approach has been supported by the council's city-wide traffic management group, which includes representatives from the council, local transport providers and emergency services.
"These works will allow us to reconfigure and renew the whole Leith Street corridor and help facilitate the wider regeneration of Picardy Place and the East End in a way that minimises disruption for residents, businesses and the travelling public."
He added: "By renewing and enhancing local infrastructure as part of the Edinburgh St James scheme, we are also greatly reducing the requirement for future works and repairs, thereby minimising future disruption around the completed environment.
"The street will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists, with access for emergency services maintained throughout.
"An enhanced diversion route, with increased capacity, will be put in place for all other traffic in order to reduce congestion within the city centre, whilst access to Greenside Row and Calton Road will also be maintained for local businesses and parking."
Birmingham City Council is proposing to keep Moseley Baths open until March 2018.
It says this will allow community organisations more time to prepare plans for the building's future use.
Serious structural issues mean the council cannot afford to keep it good repair, it says.

Moseley Road Baths is the oldest of three Grade II listed swimming pools still in use in Britain.
It has been closed twice since 2004 for urgent repairs and one of the two pools remains out of use. The other is used by the whole community.
The council's deputy leader, Ian Ward said: "Unfortunately [the building] has some serious structural issues and the costs of repair are exorbitant and out of the council's reach.
"We hope by keeping the pool open for another nine months we can give the National Trust and other groups enough time to prepare plans for the pool's future use."
The National Trust has said that if the pool was to close, even for a short period, the cost of reopening would be significant.
A coalition has been set up to look at the baths' future. It includes Historic England, National Trust, Moseley Road Baths Action Group, the Friends of Moseley Road Bath, Civic and the World Monuments Fund.
The move follows criticism he received for his behaviour in a news conference.
In it, Hamilton posted images of himself and a fellow driver on Snapchat with bunny faces and gave minimal answers.
He said it was intended as "a super light-hearted thing" and what was written was "more disrespectful".
As a result, he said: "Unfortunately the decision I will take unfortunately affects those who have been super-supportive, so that is why I am saying it with the utmost respect.
"But I don't really plan on sitting here many more times for these kind of things. So my apologies and I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend."
He then walked out of the news conference.
His remarks came in his usual news conference in the Mercedes area in the paddock at the Japanese Grand Prix after qualifying.
The world champion qualified second for Sunday's race behind team-mate Nico Rosberg, who has a 23-point advantage in the championship with fives races to go and 125 points still available.
Hamilton said: "I'm not here to answer your questions, I've decided. With the utmost respect, there are many of you here who are super-supportive of me and they hopefully know I know who they are.
"There are others unfortunately that often taken advantage of certain things. The other day was a super light-hearted thing, and if I was disrespectful to any of you guys, or if you felt I was disrespectful, it was honestly not the intention. It was just a little bit of fun.

"But what was more disrespectful was what was then written worldwide."
Hamilton did not specify which particular articles he was offended by, and Mercedes said they did not know. The team did not know Hamilton was planning to make his statement.
In the official race preview news conference on Thursday, he had referred journalists who asked some questions about his remarks following his engine failure while leading the previous race in Malaysia to comments he had published on his social network outlets.
And he criticised the format of the news conference, in which six drivers are brought together to answer questions ahead of a race.

The Brazilian salmon pink bird-eater was left in a plastic box at the junction of Narborough Road and Ivy Road in Leicester on Friday.
It was found by Michael Fields as he left his home.
Mr Fields called the RSPCA and the spider - the third largest breed of tarantula in the world - has been found a new owner.
Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands
Mr Fields estimated the spider measured about eight inches (20cm) long.
He said: "I absolutely froze on the spot. It's my worst nightmare - I hate spiders.
"Even as a grown man I was nearly in tears - this thing was massive. I then had to stay with it until the RSPCA came."
Brazilian salmon pink bird-eaters can grow to have a leg span of 10 inches (25cm) but are relatively harmless to humans.
The RSPCA said the tarantula had been re-homed with a specialist exotic animal keeper.
Animal collection officer Steve Smith said: "We are concerned that someone abandoned a spider in the street like this.
"These tarantulas live in a warm and humid environment in the wild and need the same provided in captivity.
"It is likely that the spider was an unwanted pet which someone decided to dispose of for whatever reason.
"We would recommend that anyone interested in keeping a tarantula as a pet thoroughly research the particular species' needs carefully first before deciding to get one."
The flag has been replaced with the union jack on boxes of strawberries and raspberries grown north of the border.
Tesco's official Twitter account told one customer that the move followed complaints from English customers.
But a spokesman for Tesco denied that, and insisted that it was intended to "provide consistency".
The decision emerged when one customer tweeted Tesco to ask why the Scottish flag no longer appeared on her raspberries.
When the supermarket's official Twitter account replied, they told her they had received "several customer complaints".
They said some customers were annoyed that an English flag was not shown on berries grown south of the border.
And when the packaging was re-designed, they decided to remove the saltire to avoid further complaints.
However the customer was told that each punnet of fruit clearly showed where the berries were grown.
The series of tweets have provoked a storm of criticism on social media, with many people urging Tesco to reverse their decision.
A Tesco source said the tweets had been sent in error.
And a spokesman for the firm said: "To provide consistency for customers, we mark all of our homegrown fresh berries with a union flag.
"The country of origin is also clearly displayed on pack."
The country's economy - the largest in the eurozone - will grow by 2.1% this year, the institutes said in a report.
In the autumn they had predicted 1.3% growth and warned that the economy was "stagnating".
In 2014 as a whole, Germany's GDP was 1.5% higher than in the previous year, according to official figures.
"The German economy is experiencing a strong upturn driven by unexpected expansive impulses, especially the falling oil price and the sharp depreciation of the euro," CES Ifo Group Munich said.
Timo Wollmershaeuser, chief economist at the Ifo Institute, said: "The low oil price leaves the Germans more money for consumption, and the low euro is pushing exports."
The Ifo Institute was one of four institutes that wrote the annual spring forecast.
The joint paper said that "consumption is the driving force behind the upturn".
In addition it said "the rest of the euro area is also expected to produce slightly positive impulses, meaning that international trade will contribute to growth."
The bodies called for lower taxes for small businesses after a prediction of public budget surpluses of €20bn euros (£13bn) this year and next.
"The tax wedge between labour costs and net wages, created by contributions to the pay‐as‐you-go social security system and income tax, is among the highest of all OECD countries in Germany," they said.
"The income tax rate above all - especially for small and medium‐sized companies - should therefore be made more performance‐oriented to reduce the labour factor burden and thus to increase Germany's growth potential."
This suggestion is unlikely to gain traction in Berlin, as the ruling coalition of conservatives and Social Democrats has an agreement not to raise or lower taxes, but to use any leeway to boost investment. | Britain's Steve Cummings won stage seven of the Tour de France as an impressive solo ride on the final climb saw him win by more than a minute.

Chemicals giant Ineos wants to survey part of the Nottinghamshire forest to see if there is potential for fracking.
But the RSPB - which will manage the entire Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve from 2018 - opposes fracking.
Thoresby Estate, which owns the site, has also said it will not agree to any shale gas well heads on its land.
What is fracking and why is it controversial?
The RSPB said: "The RSPB believes protected sites for nature such as Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve, SSSIs and European sites should be ruled out by the government as locations for fracking exploration or operational well-heads.
"The RSPB is looking forward to take on the management of the whole of Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve in spring 2018.
"We are already working hard with our partners to preserve its natural and cultural heritage."
The government has given Ineos licences to explore for shale gas on a million acres of land across the UK.
As part of this, Ineos wants to carry out seismic imaging surveys at Sherwood Forest and other locations.
These surveys are the first step in determining whether there is shale gas in rocks under the surface, and whether it is possible or economical to extract it.
The RSPB does not object to seismic imaging surveys in principle - but said they must be done in a way that does not disturb breeding birds.
Thoresby Estate has also indicated that it will allow seismic surveys to be carried out, but nothing has been agreed with Ineos yet.
The RSPB said: "Our advice to Ineos would be to deploy seismic survey equipment only on existing tracks, well away from any trees.
"We would also strongly recommend the company takes steps to ensure the surveys do not cause any disturbance to breeding birds such as woodlarks and nightjars present in Sherwood Forest, since these are specially protected under UK and European law."
Friends of the Earth launched a campaign and petition to "save" Sherwood Forest from fracking after getting documents from the Forestry Commission under the Freedom of Information Act.
Campaigner Guy Shrubsole accused Ineos of "sticking two fingers up at England's green heritage" by "hunting" for shale gas in Sherwood Forest.
But Ineos has accused Friends of the Earth of misrepresenting the information.
Ineos Shale operations director Tom Pickering said the company was "exploring the viability" of shale gas across the UK to determine "whether it can be accessed without significantly impacting the local area".
"Friends of the Earth have unnecessarily alarmed the public by misrepresenting information made available to them by the Forestry Commission under Freedom of Information," he said.
"In order to build upon our existing knowledge of the ground below us, we are currently preparing to carry out seismic imaging surveys across our wider licence area in the East Midlands which includes part of Sherwood Forest.
"This process does not include fracking in any form."
Source: Nottinghamshire County Council and Thoresby Estate
Thoresby Estate "will not agree to either a test rig or permanent well site on any of its land which forms Sherwood Forest Country Park or part of the wider Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve", its resident agent Nick Brown said.
However, Thoresby Estate has indicated it will agree to seismic surveys being carried out. If it did not, Ineos could use powers within the Geological Survey Act 1845 to challenge the refusal.
By agreeing to the surveys, Thoresby Estate can "ensure that safeguards are put in place to protect veteran trees and other historic features, by the use of buffer zones", Mr Brown said.
He added: "Thoresby Estate believes that the seismic surveys being proposed by Ineos will ensure that Ineos have accurate geological data before they start their shale gas exploration.
"This will ensure that if they did drill on land adjoining the NNR that such drilling would not have a detrimental impact on the NNR and other land owned by Thoresby Estate."
Ineos needs permission from landowners to carry out seismic imaging surveys.
It does not need planning permission to do these surveys, but it would need planning permission to do exploratory drilling.
Nottinghamshire County Council said any planning applications for shale gas development would be "widely publicised and consulted on".
Head of planning Sally Gill said: "Our world famous Sherwood Forest Country Park, which is also home to the Major Oak and many other ancient oaks, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Area of Conservation and is part of the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve.
"Conservation of its ecology and natural habitats are paramount and the county council will do everything in its power to ensure its heritage and conservation is protected now and for future generations."
The Forestry Commission said: "Forestry Commission England is considering a request from Ineos to undertake a survey on land that we manage in the East Midlands.
"We always carefully consider the potential impacts and their effects on the nation's woods and forests." | Sherwood Forest and other protected sites should be ruled out as locations for fracking, according to the RSPB conservation charity. | 38,497,045 | 1,143 | 30 | false |
Sanchez got the first with a masterful chip from just inside the box.
Walcott powered a curling shot home after Ludogorets' Wanderson hit a post.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain smashed a loose ball into the corner for the third, before Ozil claimed the first hat-trick of his career.
The Gunners have won seven games in a row in all competitions - scoring 23 goals - and are unbeaten in 11 matches.
Their last defeat was at home to Liverpool on the opening day of the Premier League season.
Victory over Bulgarian champions Ludogorets means Arsenal top Group A ahead of Paris St-Germain, who beat Basel 3-0, on goal difference.

As Sanchez's drifting lob settled in the Ludogorets net, gleeful manager Arsene Wenger leapt from the bench in celebration. It was just the beginning.
The Frenchman's side were so dominant and full of confidence they perhaps should even have won by a greater margin.
Oxlade-Chamberlain certainly might have provided a better finish to Sanchez's beautifully disguised chipped through pass - the Chilean's second moment of genius on a night his hard running and quick mind came to the fore.
But the player who most obviously embodies Arsenal's new dynamic mood is Walcott. He impressively put two earlier missed chances out of mind when doubling the lead with a powerful strike that signalled the away side's slide towards heavy defeat.
It was the 27-year-old's seventh goal in his past six Arsenal games, having scored the same amount in his previous 42.
For 60 minutes, Walcott and Sanchez terrified the opposition backline with their pace, and he went off to huge round of applause when he was replaced by Lucas Perez.
There were big smiles as he took up a seat on the bench - from both Walcott and Wenger.
In each of the past six seasons, Arsenal have fallen at the first knockout stage, the last 16. In all but one of those seasons, they finished second in their group.
With Swiss club Basel and Ludogorets six points adrift with three matches to play, Group A will surely be won by Arsenal or French champions PSG.
The Gunners began their Champions League campaign with a battling point in Paris, and the two teams meet in north London on 23 November.
Wenger told BT Sport: "Let's qualify first. We go to Ludogorets in two weeks and they will want to show us they are better than 6-0, but if we win there it would come down to the game against PSG."
Sanchez was a close contender (the brilliant goal, determination and beautiful footwork) but this has to go to Ozil.
Having earlier assisted Walcott with a pin-point pass to the edge of the area, the Germany international fired in three excellent close-range finishes in just over 30 second-half minutes.
The first was a cool, calm finish with plenty of time to pick his spot after Santi Cazorla's ball over the top, the second he slotted home from Perez's cross, and the third was a sweet, low volley that sneaked in at the near post, with Perez the provider again.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "Our confidence is stronger with every win but we have to keep the vigilance and the urgency to bring that into the next game.
"Let's not be too quick on the verdict. We have a strong squad and a strong spirit, but you have to take care of it and keep your feet on the ground. The only way to win something big is to focus on the next one and work on humility.
"I feel that at the moment because we win game after game our confidence is high. Maybe we get over dodgy periods with less psychological damage.
"In the first half, it looked like a difficult game because they were dangerous going forward; they had good technique in short space; they are quick on the counter attack.
"I believe it was not easy but in the second half we took complete control of the game. I think we could have scored more."
Former England defender Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport: "I want to see [Arsenal play like this] for a sustained period of time.
"They always make you think they've got a chance, and then they let you down.
"Now they have to take things game by game, get through Christmas with this kind of form, and then you can start really judging them as a team. They need to win something."

Analysis from the CIES Football Observatory says the 23-year-old England international is worth £23.5m.
Its data suggests Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande paid £18.43m too much when they spent £31m on Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez.
Bournemouth are said to have overspent on £7m Norwich striker Lewis Grabban.
According to the CIES research team, which analyses transfers in Europe's big five leagues, that was more than £6m too much.
The study also suggested Newcastle overpaid by £5.4m when they spent £12m signing England winger Andros Townsend from Tottenham.
That move went through on 27 January, the same day Chinese club Jiangsu Suning signed Brazil midfielder Ramires.
The 28-year-old moved in a deal believed to be worth about £25m, which the CIES study claims is £8.36m more than his value.
The CIES Football Observatory team of academics estimates transfer values based on 1,500 fee-paying deals involving the big five European leagues since June 2009.
It takes into account the "inflationary trend" of transfer fees and calculate a player's worth based on their statistics in six key areas - age, position, contract, international status, experience and performance.
Footballers with the highest transfer values in the study generally play in competitive teams, are active full internationals, play in attacking positions, have long-term contracts and are under 27 years of age.

Belgian survivors of Nazi persecution appealed to the government to stop the payments, and Pensions Minister Daniel Bacquelaine "shares their indignation", his spokeswoman told the BBC.
But Germany manages the payments and "we have no official figures" for the recipients, Geraldine Lamoureux added.
After the 1945 liberation, 57,000 Belgian collaborators were convicted.
Belgians were recruited into the German SS and Wehrmacht, and collaborators also helped the Nazis to send Jews and resistance fighters to concentration camps.
The petition to stop the German pension payments was the initiative of the Memorial Group - Belgians who survived the Nazi camps and who want modern Belgium to remember the wartime occupation.
The group's president, Pieter Paul Baeten, quoted by Belgian broadcaster RTBF, said: "It's sad. Belgium can't get hold of the information [on pension recipients], or doesn't want to.
"But I don't understand how, in today's Europe, Belgium and Germany can't manage to exchange this information."
It is not clear if those receiving the pensions are all living in Belgium.
Ms Lamoureux said the pensions minister "will discuss the matter with other ministers, to find a solution".
After the war Leon Degrelle, who led the Belgian collaborators under the Nazis, fled to fascist Spain, where he was sheltered by the Franco dictatorship and died in 1994.
Belgium sentenced him to death as a traitor, but he prospered in Spain, even after Franco's death and the rebirth of democracy in 1975.
A detailed investigation by Belgian historians concluded in 2007 that Belgian collaborators worked closely with Nazi officials to persecute Jews after the German invasion in 1940. Anti-Semitism was widespread in the Belgian establishment at the time, they said.
In a parliamentary answer in 2012 the German government said it could not confirm the 2,500 figure for Belgian ex-collaborators alleged to be getting German pensions.
The government said only scrutiny of each individual's file could determine how many had served with Nazi military units, and those files were held by the German regional authorities.
When asked about the collaborators, it said (in German) 57 Belgians were getting German BVG ("Bundesversorgungsgesetz") maintenance payments, but did not explain who those Belgians were.
In 2012 the German government paid BVG allowances to 209,654 victims of the Nazis and their relatives, in Germany and abroad, but the amount was not specified.
Other German reparations for World War Two included payments to 58,932 Jews via two funds managed by the Jewish Claims Conference. The government said recipients were getting up to €300 (£236; $341) monthly from one fund, and up to €260 from the other. | A Belgian minister has voiced concern that as many as 2,500 Belgian ex-Nazis are receiving German pensions. | 36,489,700 | 632 | 29 | false |
In October, 81% of patients diagnosed with cancer began treatment within a 62 day target down from 85.6% in September - the worst figures since April 2013.
The Aneurin Bevan board in south east Wales did best with 88.5%, and Cardiff and Vale the worst with 62.9%.
The Cardiff and Vale health board blamed temporary staffing issues.
However, Mr Gething said certain health boards "need to work hard" on cancer times.
The health boards' plans, announced on Wednesday, prioritise:
"I have met all the health boards to discuss how the Welsh NHS can improve its performance in this area and asked them to produce 100-day action plans aimed at improving local services and encouraging them to work collaboratively at a regional level," Mr Gething said.
"I expect the NHS to implement these plans immediately so patients and the public sees an improvement in performance in the months ahead."
Lowri Griffiths, from the cancer charity Macmillan Wales, said it had been "concerned about the lack of improvement in cancer waiting times over the last 12 to 18 months" and was "dismayed" at the latest deterioration in the figures.
"We welcome this decisive action and expect to see a marked improvement across health boards before the 100 days allocated," she said.
Cardiff and Vale chief operating officer Alice Casey said a temporary lack of capacity in some areas was having a disproportionate effect on the overall picture on the board's cancer care.
"The health board provides a wide range of cancer services and the majority of patients receive treatment within an appropriate time," she said.
"But we know there are some who are not and we are doing all we can to put that right."
Conservative Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar said Labour ministers' targets had been "routinely missed for seven years" and "communities will rightly question when performance is ever going to reach an acceptable standard".
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams called the situation "verging on the ridiculous" and said it was "mind-boggling" how ministers were "content to allow so many cancer patients to face such lengthy waits". | Cancer services and waiting times will be improved by 100-day plans drawn up by Welsh health boards, Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething has announced. | 35,111,434 | 467 | 33 | false |
The mixture is defined as a blend of fresh Bramley apple pieces, sugar and water, with the option of Bramley apple puree, cornflour and lemon juice.
The apple pie filling joins several other delicacies on the traditional specialities guaranteed (TSG) list.
Bramley apples are grown commercially across Kent, East Anglia and the West Midlands.
Other products given the same special status as the pie filling include Italy's mozzarella cheese and Belgian lambic beer.
The TSG list seeks to protect the reputation of regional products, promote traditional and agricultural activity and ensure inferior products cannot be promoted unfairly.
Adrian Barlow, chief executive of English Apples and Pears, said: "We are delighted that Bramley apples have been recognised by the EU and that they, like us, realise that the heritage of such an iconic British ingredient is worth celebrating and the traditional Bramley apple pie filling worth protecting."
A farm product may be registered as TSG only if it is produced using traditional raw materials and prepared with traditional methods.
The designation is considered a boon for ingredient producers as it is thought to place a premium on their product.

But, four and a half hours earlier, there will be plenty at stake when two of BBC Radio Merseyside's other clubs - Chester and Tranmere Rovers - meet for a noon showdown at Bumpers Lane.
The two clubs have met regularly since November 1931, the season after Chester entered the Football League. Yet, until Chester's trip to Prenton Park in September when Rovers comfortably won 2-0, they had not played each other in 24 and a half years.
This will be Rovers' first West Cheshire derby trip to Chester since the Deva Stadium first opened in 1992 - and it will, in fact, be a third successive different venue for a Tranmere away game with Chester.
The last time they played an away game against Chester, it was during the club's two-year exile in Macclesfield, at the Moss Rose in March 1991.
Prior to that was a 2-2 draw at Sealand Road, in what was Chester's penultimate game at their home of 84 years.
After coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Kidderminster Harriers on 20 February, having won 3-0 at Altrincham four days earlier, Chester appear to be back on an upturn.
New signing James Alabi came off the bench to hit a brilliant equaliser at Aggborough, which hints at more to come.
Chester, 15th in the National League, are 15 points behind Tranmere, who are sixth and just one point adrift of the play-off places.
Their 1-0 home defeat by leaders Cheltenham was a first defeat for Gary Brabin's experienced side in six games.
Burr on Chester's 'other derby'
"If you can't get up for a game like that you might as well not be playing," Chester boss Steve Burr told BBC Radio Merseyside. "It should be a fantastic atmosphere.
"I wouldn't say it's as big as the Wrexham game because I know how much the Wrexham game means to the Chester fans, with all due respect to Tranmere.
"But Tranmere are still a big club who have aspirations of getting out of this division, with a very experienced squad. And it's still a great one for the fans, with all the bragging rights and all that.
"If I was a player I'd have spent the week getting in the gaffer's face saying: 'I want to be in that team, I want to be out there playing in front of a sell-out 6,000."
Tranmere manager Brabin is a former Chester player, from the old club's last time in English football's fifth division.
Chester captain Ian Sharps is a former Tranmere Rovers favourite, having started his career there.
There are also a host of connections to Merseyside's two main clubs:
Estimates vary for the sort of crowd that Chester might expect on Sunday, but club secretary Tony Allan, first associated with the club a quarter of a century ago, says: "Let's just say it will be a bumper gate."
Tranmere had their season's highest crowd of 7,433 (not far off 3,000 up on this term's average gate) when they beat Chester 2-0 at Prenton Park in September.
Having already sold all their tickets at the away end, Chester expect to pass their season's best gate so far - 3,741 for the Wrexham game in October.
Local rivals Wrexham also attracted 4,326, the biggest Conference gate yet attracted to Bumpers Lane since Conference football returned to the city in 2013 for the reformed club. | It will be another big day for the north west of England when Liverpool meet Manchester City in the League Cup final at Wembley on Sunday. | 35,654,873 | 831 | 31 | false |
The legal action is being taken after MPs said in July the authority had "failed in its duty of care".
The announcement comes as The Times published one of the women's account of being allowed contact with a suspected child abuser while in care.
South Yorkshire Police said the article could "undermine" ongoing inquiries.
Lawyer David Greenwood, who is acting for some of the alleged victims, said: "It is very likely that my clients will be taking legal action against Rotherham Council and potentially the police for failing to protect them over a long period of time.
"Inaction by social services and the police has left hundreds of young women, or teenagers, open to child sexual exploitation.
"It is important to remember that at the time of the abuse they were children under the age of 16 and could not legally consent.
"The [Home Affairs Committee] report noted part of the problem is that adults may misunderstand the grooming process and assume that the young person was a willing participant in a relationship, rather than the victim of sexual abuse."
Speaking to The Times, one of the women, now in her 20s, said she began a relationship with a 24-year-old man, who had served two prison sentences for violent offences, in 1999, when she was 14.
It is understood the man twice made the girl pregnant.
The newspaper said social services became aware before the relationship ended that the man was part of a ring of men suspected of abusing more than 40 young teenagers in Rotherham.
The article states that by June 2000, both police and social services knew the teenager, who had been placed in emergency foster care, was in a sexual relationship with the man.
However, despite this knowledge the authorities continued to allow contact between the pair, it said.
Speaking to the newspaper, the woman said: "My parents tried everything to keep [the man] away from me, but I thought I was in love with him.
"When I went into care I stopped running away because I didn't need to any more. Social services let me see him all the time."
The force's Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright said he was "deeply concerned" by the story.
South Yorkshire Police criticised The Times for publishing the article, saying: "South Yorkshire Police deeply regrets the decision by The Times newspaper to publish an article about an on-going, complex and highly sensitive investigation into matters of historic child sexual exploitation.
"The Times newspaper contacted South Yorkshire Police on Monday, 19 August, announcing its intention to publish an article about these issues. In response, the force informed the newspaper that any such publication could seriously undermine and, at worst, cause fatal damage to this inquiry."
My daughter was horrifically sexually exploited and groomed.
I am talking on behalf of other parents in the Rotherham area who feel the same as we do, that we have been lied to and let down by various services.
We feel it's about time these services were called to account.
Although Rotherham Council have said sorry in a statement, we feel as parents that individual apologies should be sent out to the families and their children.
The inaction by the authorities compounded the crime and allowed the abusers to continue carrying out their horrific crimes.
The Times said it published the story despite South Yorkshire Police's request because it "wants to see justice for child sex exploitation victims".
It said it chose to tell the girl's story after she contacted one of its reporters, in the hope it would encourage others to come forward and because it felt "not enough has yet been done" by police.
Rotherham MP Sarah Champion described the allegations in the article as "serious and distressing".
She said she would be carrying out a cross-party inquiry in Parliament in the autumn in order to "make sure current legislation protects children from abuse as fully as possible".
Mr Wright, who was cabinet member for children's and young persons' services in Rotherham between 2005 and 2010, said: "The allegations made in The Times newspaper about the way in which various agencies failed to adequately combat child sexual exploitation and protect vulnerable victims 14 years ago concern me deeply.
"I will be seeking assurances from the chief constable and other agencies that all allegations of such crimes are thoroughly investigated, that victims are fully supported and that this process is underpinned by the most robust and thorough processes and policies."
Rotherham Council said: "The council wishes to support South Yorkshire Police and not potentially compromise this process.
"As such we will not be making further comments on the article without further consultation with our police colleagues."
Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said he planned to write to Rotherham Council's leader Roger Stone and chief executive Martin Kimber to ask what progress had been made since the committee's report was published in June.
He said: "What I hope [the article] has done and I hope what our recommendations have done is that they have woken up local authorities to the importance of acting on information they receive.
"It's very simple, if a 24-year-old man is in a relationship with a girl under the age of 16 this is a criminal act and they need to report it.
"They do not need to stand by and just accept it because in their view it is being done willingly. The law is the law and therefore it needs to be enforced." | Four women are set to sue Rotherham Council for "systematic failures to protect them from sexual abuse by predatory men" when they were children. | 23,811,675 | 1,156 | 34 | false |
The right-leaning Policy Exchange has published a poll of teachers on the eve of regional strikes over pay, conditions and pensions.
Members of the NUT and NASUWT unions will strike on Tuesday in the Midlands, East of England, Yorkshire and Humber.
Teaching unions said the survey detail did not support Policy Exchange's view.
Performance-related pay (PRP) came into force for teachers in England's schools this term, giving heads more flexibility over salaries.
Unions say the changes are really about cutting most teachers' salaries and most parents want schools to follow a national pay system.
But Jonathan Simons, head of education at Policy Exchange, claims the poll suggests "that teachers could easily be won round to the idea of performance-related pay but more needs to be done to explain how the system would work".
Pollsters YouGov questioned a weighted sample of more than 1,000 teachers in England and Wales.
The main question on performance-related pay received a broadly negative response from teachers, with only 16% saying they would like to work in a school where pay was "more explicitly linked" to their overall performance, 40% saying they would not and 44% that it would make no difference.
However, Policy Exchange claims that answers to other questions may indicate the possibility of a change of heart if teachers could be convinced that performance-related pay would lead to less paperwork.
Some 55% said they would be more likely to want to work in a school with performance-related pay "if it also resulted in a reduction in your administrative, reporting and bureaucratic workload".
Some 12% said they were less likely to want to work in such a school, while 33% said it would make no difference.
Teachers said they spent an average of more than 48 minutes a week on reporting their own performance, with over half (54%) saying it was the least valuable use of their time.
Some (79%) complained of too much bureaucracy, target-setting and inspection.
Christine Blower, of the NUT, said the survey showed that "a clear majority of teachers are far more concerned about workload than any apparent benefits of performance-related pay.
"According to this survey, only 2% said that it would make them significantly more likely to want to work in a school where pay was more explicitly linked to overall performance.
"Far more said it would make them less likely. Even under the proposal of PRP being offered in return for an imagined reduction in bureaucratic workload, only 13% said that it would make them significantly more interested in working in a school with PRP.
"Yet in many schools the introduction of PRP will lead to a much greater bureaucratic workload as head teachers introduce new forms and evidence gathering.
"Teachers work in a collaborative fashion. Young people's success depends on the interplay between the work of all their teachers.
"There is also every scope in linking pay to performance for the creation of unfairness."
Policy Exchange said the poll also suggested that most teachers (60%) were against pay being driven by years of experience in the profession, preferring measures such as students' progress (66%) and teaching quality (89%).
A third of those polled said they were dissatisfied at having to work with lower-performing colleagues, while more than half (52%) said performance pay would make it easier to dismiss poor teachers.
Mr Simons said: "Policymakers should make huge efforts to talk to teachers up and down the country, even if that means bypassing their union leaders, and answer any questions they might have about the new system."
She becomes the sixth Labour MP to declare that they want to succeed Harriet Harman in post.
Ms Ali told 5 live's Pienaar's Politics: "We should be radical and imaginative. What have we got to lose?"
"I'm going to start with going after UKIP voters who left Labour. We have to talk to people who rejected us."
Asked how that would work with voters who have problems with multi-culturalism, she said: "I grew up in a working-class community. Some of my neighbours were not very friendly.
"I'm used to rejection so I think I have something to offer... I know what it feels like to be an outsider trying to get in... I think a lot of our voters feel like that - that they just couldn't get through to us."
Asked who she would back for leader, Ms Ali says: "I'm going to meet every single one of them. I will reserve my right to use my nomination powers to help someone struggling in the race get what they need to stand."
She says Keith Vaz and Tristram Hunt are two MPs who have said they would back her bid.
The other declared candidates for deputy leader are Stella Creasy, Tom Watson, Ben Bradshaw, Angela Eagle and Caroline Flint.
The candidates for Labour leader are Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper, Mary Creagh and Liz Kendall.
Earlier on Sunday former deputy Labour leader Lord Prescott told the Sunday Mirror he would be backing Andy Burnham for leader.
And Harriet Harman told the Andrew Marr Show that the leadership contests must not just be about who the best leader was, but what direction the party should take.
She said it would be "quite wrong" for Labour to "minimise the scale of our defeat", especially given that it came despite a "lack of love for the Tories".
Ms Harman also said she thought that either the leader or deputy leader positions must be filled by a woman, saying she had never been a fan of all-male leadership teams.
She also said that hundreds of thousands of people who voted Labour "but would never join the party" would be able to vote in the leader and deputy leader elections - something welcomed on the same programme by former David Cameron adviser Steve Hilton.
Mr Hilton, who added that he had been a long-time fan of Ms Harman's work on gender equality, said it was important to get more people involved in politics.
Spokesman Sameh Ashour said the decision was taken because of concerns the polls would not be free and fair, AFP news agency reported.
It comes days after President Mohammed Morsi announced the timing of the elections, to be held over four dates.
Judges dissolved the previous assembly, saying polls were unconstitutional.
The first round of voting in Cairo and four other provinces is due to be held on 22 April.
In the last elections, in January 2012, Islamist parties won an overwhelming majority, with the Freedom and Justice Party of Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement taking the biggest share.
The lower house was dissolved in June after the Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that one of the laws under which the elections were fought was not legitimate.
By Yolande KnellBBC News
The National Salvation Front (NSF) is a coalition of mainly liberals and leftist parties. Its decision not to join the parliamentary election means the contest will be largely fought between Islamist groups - the Muslim Brotherhood of President Mohammed Morsi and more conservative parties like the Salafist Nur.
The Front's intention is to try to delegitimise the vote. It also draws attention to the polarisation of Egyptian politics since the ouster of President Mubarak two years ago.
This announcement does not come as a great surprise. Two days ago Mohamed ElBaradei, coordinator of the NSF, told the BBC that his party would "not participate in a sham poll".
The umbrella group has been demanding changes to the elections law as well as the formation of a national unity government and amendments to the new constitution.
Egypt is sharply divided between Islamists and their liberal and secular opponents and a boycott of the polls threatens to deepen the split, say correspondents.
Mr Morsi announced new polls last weekend. NSF leader Mohamed ElBaradei swiftly called for a boycott, branding fresh elections an "act of deception".
Mr Ashour said the NSF would not contest the polls under an election law which critics said favours Islamists.
"There can be no elections without a law that guarantees the fairness of the election process and a government that can implement such a law and be trusted by the people," he said in a televised news conference.
He said the NSF had unanimously decided to endorse Mr ElBaradei's call.
Mr Ashour said the alliance would also stay away from a meeting to promote national dialogue called by President Morsi, describing it as an insult to protesters killed in recent clashes.
More than 70 people were killed in violence between security forces and protesters following the second anniversary of the revolution which forced Hosni Mubarak from power.
The 21-year-old Commonwealth Games champion's 96kg helped her to a total of 214kg, guaranteeing her a place at November's World Championships.

But Joe Ledley pulled one back with a deflected shot before James McArthur's header pulled Palace level.

Sunderland, one of just two teams yet to triumph in the Premier League this season, have not won a league game in September since 2012.
But the Black Cats must have thought their dreadful run, and start to the season, was coming to an end when they led 2-0.
Defoe, who had poked the hosts in front after a dreadful Ledley backpass, scored his second with a well-taken half-volley after the visitors failed to clear.
But the hosts had looked nervous at the back throughout and allowed Palace back into the game just 69 seconds later.
The Londoners took control and once McArthur made it 2-2 with 14 minutes to go, an away win looked the likely outcome.
Sunderland boss David Moyes, who has not won in the Premier League since April 2014, was angry with the nature of the Palace winner.
"For us to not have someone deal with Benteke at the death, to have a five-yard run and have no challenge, is just incredible," said the Scot.
"We need our players to assume a level of responsibility that it's not all down to me and my staff."
Zeki Fryers had been on the pitch for just 25 seconds when he crossed for McArthur to level the match.
The former Manchester United and Tottenham man was making his first Premier League appearance since 21 September 2014.
Fryers was not the only sub to make an instant impact as Lee Chung-Yong, who came on in stoppage time for Jason Puncheon, used his only touch of the match to deliver the free-kick from which Benteke headed home the winner.
The Eagles are now seventh in the table.
Sunderland boss David Moyes: "We couldn't defend well enough. We went 2-0 up, though perhaps not justly. But we didn't tighten up.
"We didn't give ourselves a chance. We have to take responsibility throughout the side - why did we not stop Benteke's run? He got a jump on us and it's beyond me.
"This can't always be led by a manager - players have to take responsibility on the pitch. We needed to stand up and assume responsibility, but we weren't capable of doing that."

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew: "This game takes away from you a lot, but it does give it back to you.
"Last year I thought we deserved to win here but we didn't.
"Today we were excellent throughout the game, disappointing to be 2-0 down but we wouldn't give in and, in the end, scored three excellent goals. We played some terrific stuff, and though Joe Ledley made an error, his finish to score was typical of the man - he has spirit and character.
"Benteke is always a threat, and he had a couple of chances. With his goal, it was a great delivery and a clinical finish. We are confident at the moment and we produced."
Crystal Palace visit Everton on Friday (20:00 BST) looking to record their fourth successive league win, while Sunderland will hope to end their search for a first league win of the season against West Brom the following day (15:00).

Newcastle City Council is using money previously ring-fenced for welfare and crisis loans on other frontline services, it said.
Labour council deputy leader Joyce McCarty said it was facing "really tough choices".
The government said local councils were best placed to decide priorities.
It is proposing to cut a further £12bn from its annual welfare budget.
Funding for welfare grants and crisis loans was devolved to local control in 2013/14.
Ring-fencing was removed from 2015/16 and the cash now goes into the council's central budget.
The authority said it could not prioritise discretionary loans over its statutory obligations and would only be able to allocate £120,000, compared with last year's £229,000, for emergency welfare payments.
It had been forced to "make some really, really tough choices between providing frontline services and offering this level of support" to poorer residents, Ms McCarty said.
The Tees Valley Community Foundation, a private charity which helps support those in need, said it expected more requests for help as a result.
Chief executive Hugh McGouran said he expected to see "a rapid increase" in demand.
"Twelve billion is such an eye watering figure," he said.
"There's going to be some significant cuts and I think people will start to turn more and more to charities to try and plug that gap."
The government said nationally-run community care grants and crisis loans had been "poorly targeted and failed to help those most in need".
"Local authorities now choose how best to support local welfare needs," a Department for Communities and Local Government spokesman said.
Additional money had been provided to assist authorities dealing with pressures on local welfare and health and social care, he said.
Manta Singh, from Jalandhar in India, was serving in the 15th Ludhiana Sikhs during the battle of Neuve Chapelle in 1915. It was one of the bloodiest battles of World War One, described by one soldier as "a foretaste of hell".
When his friend, Capt George Henderson, was injured in fierce fighting, Subedar (Lieutenant) Singh found a wheelbarrow to carry him to safety under constant firing.
In doing so the Indian soldier was shot in the leg and died later in hospital in the UK from a gangrene infection.
A few years after the war, Capt Henderson travelled to Punjab to meet Manta Singh's son, Assa Singh, ensuring that he was given a job in the same British Indian army regiment as his father.
Over the years Assa Singh and Capt Henderson's son Robert become the best of friends and served together in north Africa during World War Two.
When that conflict ended Assa Singh moved to Britain - with Robert's help - and now the third generation of their families are friends.
Jaimal Singh, the grandson of Manta Singh, and Ian Henderson, the grandson of George, go to Brighton every year to lay a wreath at a memorial to Indian soldiers who died fighting for Britain.
The story of Manta Singh and his descendants is one of several case studies unearthed by British-Indian journalist Shrabani Basu in her new book For King and Another Country.
She has been able to reveal acts of bravery by Indian troops - previously not in the public domain - through painstaking research at the British Library in central London.
"This war was not of their making," Ms Basu says. "The Indian soldiers travelled thousands of miles to fight someone else's war.
"When they arrived in Europe they couldn't tell why the French were fighting the Germans. They couldn't see the difference between them. They were confused as to why the white people were fighting white people."
The author says it is for good reason these men are often called India's forgotten soldiers.
Gabar Singh Negi VC
He died aged 22 in the battle of Neuve Chapelle - one of the biggest battles that the Indians fought as a united corps. Gabar's wife, a 13-year-old child bride, wore his Victoria Cross on her sari all her life until her death in 1981.
Indra Lal "Laddie" Roy DFC
Believed to be the first - and only - Indian flying ace of WW1, he accounted for nine enemy aircraft in 13 days. Shot down in December 1917, he was mistaken for dead by the French and had to free himself from a hospital morgue before being transferred back to England. He was shot down and killed only four months before the end of the war while flying a daring sortie over the trenches in Carvin in France.
Darwan Singh Negi VC
One of the first surviving Indian soldiers to win a Victoria Cross in WW1, he received his award from King George V in France for his role in the defence of Festubert. Asked by the king what he wanted in reward, he asked for a school in the area where he lived. The British-built Darwan Singh War Memorial School has been expanded and still stands in what is now the Indian state of Uttarakhand.
"The overriding image of WW1 is a Tommy in his helmet - nobody knows that standing alongside him in the cold and muddy trenches in France and Flanders were men in turbans - they were Sikhs, they were Pathans, they were Gurkhas, Dogras, Rajasthanis, they were Garhwalis from the foothills of the Himalayas.
"More than 1.5 million men crossed the seas from India and of these 72,000 died.
"I wanted people to know about these soldiers. I wanted their personal stories. What did they think when they came to a cold, damp alien land, whose language they did not fully understand?"
The papers that Ms Basu went through at the British Library not only tell the stories of countless acts of gallantry by Indian soldiers, they also reveal the forgotten suffering endured by thousands of ordinary Indian soldiers.
Out of the thousands of case studies she examined, she says that of Sukha - a trench cleaner and sweeper from what is now the state of Uttar Pradesh - is one of the most compelling.
The cold in the trenches during the winter of 1915 was too much for him and he died of pneumonia in hospital in the southern English village of Brockenhurst.
"But the Hindus in England would not cremate him because he was from a low caste - an untouchable - who was beneath their status," Ms Basu says.
"Likewise the Muslims wouldn't bury him because he was not a Muslim. Sukha was in no man's land in a foreign country rejected by his own compatriots on caste or religious grounds."
In the end the vicar of local church in Brockenhurst stepped forward to offer Sukha a burial place.
"He said that Sukha died for us, we will bury him," Ms Basu said. "Local parishioners raised money for a headstone and he now lies in a beautiful grave in a beautiful part of the English countryside."

Its Triton patrolling service will be strengthened and a military mandate sought to destroy people-smugglers' boats. An emergency summit of EU leaders will be held on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Italian police arrested two survivors from a sinking off Libya on suspicion of people trafficking.
A coast guard vessel carrying survivors arrived in Sicily late on Monday.
It is believed the two were the captain and a crew member from the boat that foundered on Sunday, Italian media reported.
The boat docked at Catania, bringing a group who had originally been taken to Malta after being rescued.
The EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said the 10-point package set out at talks in Luxembourg was a "strong reaction from the EU to the tragedies" and "shows a new sense of urgency and political will".
"We are developing a truly European sense of solidarity in fighting human trafficking - finally so."
The measures include an increase in the financial resources of Frontex, which runs the EU's Mediterranean rescue service Triton, and an extension of Triton's operational area.
The EU had been criticised over the scope of Triton, which replaced the larger Italian operation Mare Nostrum at the end of last year.
The "civilian and military" operation to destroy the people-smugglers' boats would need a mandate signed off by the European Council.
Other points include:
Ms Mogherini stressed the need for action on Libya, where there was "no state entity to control borders".
Analysis: Chris Morris, BBC Europe correspondent, Luxembourg
Some EU ministers have argued that patrols have to be expanded again, that funding should be increased. Others suggest that camps could be set up in North Africa to allow migrants to apply for asylum before they have to cross the Mediterranean.
If there were easy answers they would have been found already, but if the goal is to save lives there really are only two choices.
Either you have to prevent people leaving in the first place, or you have to rescue them when the people-smugglers have cast them adrift.
Q&A: Why is Libya the focus of the exodus?
Who are the people smugglers?
Should merchant ships help?
Human smugglers are taking advantage of the political crisis in Libya to use it as a launching point for boats carrying migrants who are fleeing violence or economic hardship in Africa and the Middle East.
Ms Mogherini said: "We discussed all possible means of support for the formation of a government of national unity in Libya."
UK PM David Cameron said Sunday was a "dark day for Europe", adding that "search and rescue is only one part. We need to go after traffickers, help stabilise these countries".
Reacting to the new EU plan, Save the Children condemned what it said was a failure to set up a European search and rescue operation.
CEO Justin Forsyth said: "What we needed from EU foreign ministers was life-saving action, but they dithered. The emergency summit on Thursday is now a matter of life and death."
As the ministers met, Italy and Malta said they were working on rescues of at least two boats in distress.
Italian PM Matteo Renzi said one of the vessels was a dinghy off the Libyan coast with about 100-150 people on board. The other was a larger boat carrying 300 people.
Earlier, the Greek coastguard said a vessel carrying dozens of migrants had run aground off the island of Rhodes. Three people were killed and 80 rescued, it said.
In a joint news conference with Maltese PM Joseph Muscat in Rome, Mr Renzi said military intervention in Libya was "not on the table" but that there could be what he called "targeted interventions" against people-smugglers.
13,500
Migrants rescued 10-17 April
1,600
Feared to have died attempting the crossing so far this year
35,000 Migrants have arrived from North Africa in 2015
218,000 Estimated to have crossed the Mediterranean in 2014
3,500 Migrants died attempting the crossing last year
Mr Muscat said Sunday's disaster off Libya, in which only 28 of some 700 migrants were rescued, was "a game changer", adding: "If Europe doesn't work together history will judge it very badly."
It has also been revealed that representatives of the shipping industry had warned in a letter on 31 March of "a terrible risk of further catastrophic loss of life" on migrant boats in the Mediterranean.
The UN says the route from North Africa to Italy and Malta has become the world's deadliest.
Up to 1,500 migrants are now feared to have drowned this year alone.
Rescue operations in the Mediterranean
Oct 2013-Oct 2014: Mare Nostrum search-and-rescue Italian operation aimed to keep 24-hour watch over the Mediterranean, especially the Sicily Strait, after more than 300 migrants drowned off the Italian island of Lampedusa
Nov 2014: Operation Triton, a cheaper and more limited EU-led operation, began, based in Italian waters, focusing on patrolling within 30 nautical miles of the Italian coast
The coroner ruled on Monday that Manus Deery, 15, was "totally innocent".
Margaret McCauley, who was 14, held the teenager's hand and prayed after he was shot in the head by a soldier from an observation post in May 1972.
At an inquest hearing last year, Pte William Glasgow was identified as the soldier who fired the fatal shot.
He died in 2001 and the only account available from him was a statement he made to Royal Military Police on 20 May 1972.
Ms McCauley said she heard and almighty screech before Manus Deery fell against her.
"The next thing he was lying on the floor," she told BBC Radio Foyle.
"I knew it was a shot.
"I tried to get him away in case there were more shots coming our way. He was too heavy.
"I laid beside him and prayed. I held his hand.
"My mammy always said that you pray for people when they're dying.
"I could hear people shouting for me to take cover.
"When I finally saw myself I was covered in blood..."
"I think about him every day."
Ms McCauley said the coroner's ruling made her feel good for the Deery family, as the case had taken over their lives.
Manus Deery was described during the inquest as "bright" and "happy go lucky".
He had just started his first job two weeks before his death.
An MOD spokesperson said: "The Army played an essential role in bringing about peace in Northern Ireland in often dangerous conditions, but we deeply regret any harm to innocent people during these necessary operations. Our thoughts remain with Manus Deery's family and friends."
The Rugby Football League has confirmed that Silverwood has been temporarily removed from his officiating duties.
An RFL statement read: "As an internal disciplinary measure, Richard Silverwood will not be considered until after the Grand Final at Old Trafford."
The Yorkshire official was stood down after an off-field incident at Huddersfield's game with Leeds.
Silverwood, 35, who refereed last year's Challenge Cup final, became Super League's youngest official when he took charge of his first game in 2001 at the age of just 24.
He was suspended by the RFL in February 2009 for what was described as an alleged breach of its information technology policy.
Phill Bentham will take Silverwood's place in charge of this Friday night's game between Huddersfield and Leeds, while Steve Ganson will take charge of Sunday's Wigan-Catalans clash.
Flanagan, 29, was expected to return from a shoulder injury during the Super 8s but medical staff have ruled against him coming back in 2017.
Tasi, 27, sustained a knee injury in Salford's Challenge Cup semi-final loss to Wigan on Sunday.
He was due to miss Friday's game with Hull FC through suspension for striking with the shoulder in the defeat.
"Realistically I need to rest and recover," Flanagan said. "As soon as I'm fully fit I'll be working hard to come back fitter and stronger for the 2018 season."
She said it had been clear for some time that victims did not have confidence in her, adding that it was time to "get out of the way".
Victims' groups earlier told government officials they were "unanimous" she should quit, citing her social links with ex-Home Secretary Lord Brittan.
Home Secretary Theresa May said she had accepted her decision "with regret".
"I believe she would have carried out her duties with integrity, impartiality and to the highest standard," she said in a statement.
Mrs May said she would make a further statement to Parliament about the inquiry on Monday.
However, Labour said the home secretary had "serious questions to answer" over her handling of the inquiry.
Prime Minister David Cameron had previously given Mrs Woolf his public backing, who came under mounting pressure over her links to Lord Brittan, whose actions while home secretary in the 1980s are expected to be part of the investigation.
Mrs Woolf disclosed she had five dinners with Lord Brittan between 2008 and 2012, prompting victims and charities to voice their concern.
Her resignation comes after the first person appointed to lead the inquiry - Baroness Butler-Sloss - stepped down in July when concerns were raised about the fact that her late brother was attorney general during the 1980s.
The independent inquiry was set up to look at how public bodies dealt with historic allegations of child sex abuse, however, victims' groups have called for a statutory inquiry.
It follows claims over many years about paedophiles in powerful places and alleged establishment attempts to cover up their actions.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's John Pienaar, Mrs Woolf said she regretted "unsettling" victims, saying: "I've clearly destroyed their confidence in the inquiry with me leading it. These are the last people I had wanted to upset."
She said: "I was determined that the inquiry got to the bottom of the issues and if I don't command their confidence to run the panel fairly and impartially then I need to get out of the way."
It had been "clear for some time victims didn't have confidence" in her, Mrs Woolf added.
"Ever since the issue first arose I have been worrying about the negative perceptions and there has been a lot of negative comment and innuendo and that has got in the way as well," she said.
Right from the get-go, an inquiry chair is under massive scrutiny.
They would be naive in the extreme not to realise that they run the risk of being accused of failing to get to the bottom of things or, worse, penning an official whitewash.
And that's why Fiona Woolf has quit: she realised that without the confidence of victims and survivors of abuse, the inquiry she had hoped to lead would not command the support of the very people she wanted to help.

Earlier this month Mrs Woolf, who is Lord Mayor of London, disclosed that she lived in the same street as Lord Brittan and had dinner with him five times between 2008 and 2012 - but said he was not a "close associate".
Lord Brittan may be called to give evidence to the inquiry, which will look at whether public bodies and other institutions did enough to protect children from sexual abuse from 1970 to the present day.
He denies any wrongdoing in the way the "dossier" on alleged high-profile paedophiles was handled in the 1980s.
It also comes after it emerged that a letter from Mrs Woolf about her links with Lord Brittan was re-written seven times.
Asked about whether redrafting the letter with the help of the Home Office undermined how impartial she appeared, she said: "It does look like that."
And questioned about who should now lead the inquiry, she said: "It needs leadership - inclusive leadership - which I can't command.
"The victims don't have confidence in me. You need someone with confidence from everyone."
Fiona Woolf's career, her social life and her connections to the establishment were scrutinised by the media and MPs.
But as she conceded today, the survivors of abuse dictated her fate.
As at the phone hacking inquiry, the voices of victims and their representatives were impossible to ignore.
And now, more than three months after it was established, the child abuse enquiry has no leader and has completed no meaningful work.
Her resignation will see the scrutiny switch to Home Secretary Theresa May.
Labour leader Ed Miliband suggested today's events were a direct consequence of the way that she had run the process.
Mrs Woolf's resignation has led to criticism of the way the government and Theresa May have handled the inquiry.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said the home secretary had got "some explaining to do" following Mrs Woolf's resignation, saying: "To lose one chair is a misfortune, but to lose two is total carelessness."
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper MP accused Mrs May of "appalling incompetence".
"Theresa May has some serious questions to answer about how this could go so badly wrong," she added.
BBC chief political correspondent John Pienaar said Mrs Woolf's resignation had given Mrs May "not so much a political headache, as a splitting migraine".
Keith Vaz MP, chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said that given the concerns of victims, Mrs Woolf's decision to stand down was "the right thing to do".
"This has been chaotic, look at the way in which this matter has been dealt with, it has been so badly put together," he told the BBC.
Peter Wanless, chief executive of the charity the NSPCC, called on the government to construct a process "far more engaging and involving of those with a direct interest in uncovering the truth about child abuse".
"Those who would like to kick awkward questions into the long grass must not be allowed to derail justice - which too many people have waited too long to secure," he said.
Peter Saunders, chief executive of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC), said the meeting between victims' groups and Home Office officials, which took place in London on Friday, should have been held "months ago".
"The government has got to get a grip and they have to talk to us about the way forward," Mr Saunders added.
Alison Millar, head of the abuse team at law firm Leigh Day, told the BBC there had been a "series of failures" by the Home Office over the inquiry.

Isle of Portland Aldridge Community Academy (IPACA) is an independent trust, co-sponsored by the Aldridge Foundation and Dorset County Council.
From January it will join Aldridge Education - a multi-academy trust.
More than 700 parents have signed an online petition against the plans. Aldridge Education said IPACA governors had voted to join the trust.
Former vice chairman of the IPACA board of governors Matt Longshaw said he did not believe London-based Aldridge Education had "the best interest of the school at heart".
"Bringing in the multi-academy trust will mean that local governors will go, so local control, local understanding of the problems and the issues will disappear."
He said a London-based board would be appointed to make decisions about the running of the school.
Aldridge Education said all of its schools retained their individual community identities and IPACA would have its own Local governing Committee, which would include parents and staff representatives.
A spokeswoman said: "The multi-academy trust structure enables us to have more local people on the Local Governing Committee as the requirements for the governing body to have people with certain specific skills to address financial and legal issues is reduced."
Chairman John Tizard confirmed he had also resigned, saying he "explained the reasons to colleagues".
Dorset County Council's cabinet member for learning and skills, Councillor Deborah Croney, said: "We want the best possible outcomes for all children at state-funded schools in Dorset.
"The introduction of an academy was to drive improvements and these have taken longer than expected.
"When any change to a school is proposed we discuss it with the regional schools commissioner, which we will be doing in this case."
The school for four to 19-year-olds opened in 2012 and previously operated across three sites.
It moved to former Ministry of Defence building Maritime House at Southwell Business Park in September.
The move was delayed when planning permission was refused but was later granted on appeal in April 2014.
Governors previously said the delay put it under "significant financial pressure" because of the costs involved in working across three sites.
Jared Kushner said all of his "actions were proper and occurred in the normal course of events" of the campaign.
Mr Kushner, 36, has also denied any collusion with Russia.
He is a senior adviser to the president and was in charge of the campaign's digital strategy.
He is married to Mr Trump's daughter, Ivanka.
Speaking at the White House after a closed-door session of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mr Kushner said he had been "fully transparent in providing all the requested information".
"Let me be very clear - I did not collude with Russia, nor do I know of anyone else in the campaign who did so. I had no improper contacts," he said.
Mr Kushner, who keeps a very low media profile, will appear before the equivalent House of Representatives committee on Tuesday.
In a statement to both congressional committees released before the Senate session on Monday, he said there were "hardly any" contacts with Russian representatives, adding later that there were "perhaps four".
He refers to a meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya in June last year. She had allegedly promised damaging material on Hillary Clinton.
Mr Kushner said he arrived late at the meeting, realised little of note was being discussed and that it was "time not well-spent".
Mr Trump Jr said former campaign chief Paul Manafort was also at the meeting and that no compromising material on Mrs Clinton was provided.
In his statement, Mr Kushner accepted that he failed initially to reveal his contacts with Russians.
He says the first form, a "rough draft that still had many omissions", was filed by an assistant in error on 18 January and that declarations on his foreign contacts, not just with Russians, were added over the next six months "in the normal course".
Mr Trump Jr and Mr Manafort had been scheduled to appear before Congress on Wednesday to testify but that has been delayed indefinitely as lawyers negotiate on the documentation and information to be discussed.
Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America reporter
In his Senate testimony Jared Kushner says he has nothing to hide and is "happy" to share information with those investigating possible Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign.
His written statement, however, is an exercise in caution and lawyerly discretion. He addresses only the controversies already in the public sphere, then offers his explanation for why they are no big deal.
He receives hundreds of emails a day and didn't read his brother-in-law's forwarded message that said the Russian government wanted to help the Trump campaign.
Reports of an effort to set up back-channel communications with Russia after the election were a halted effort to get information about Syria from Russian generals.
He met with an influential Russian banker because the Russian ambassador - whose name he couldn't initially remember - was so persistent.
The incomplete security form was the result of a "miscommunication" with an assistant who submitted it too soon.
Beyond that, there are no new revelations; no new disclosures. If what's already out is all there is, Mr Kushner and his lawyers have done their best to defuse the bombs. When walking in a minefield, it's the ones you don't know about that pose the greatest risk.
President Trump has repeatedly denied any collusion with Russia.
He continued his tirade against the investigation process on Sunday, tweeting: "As the phony Russian Witch Hunt continues, two groups are laughing at this excuse for a lost election taking hold, Democrats and Russians!"
Russia has also denied any involvement.
It is a direct response to the biggest ever Ebola outbreak which has infected more than 27,000 people in West Africa.
There are also plans to improve disease surveillance and invest more money in drug development.
Experts said such measures would have prevented the Ebola outbreak reaching an unprecedented scale.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel holds the presidency of the G7 group of leading nations. Leaders will meet at a summit in Germany on Sunday.
In a newspaper column this week, she said: "We will be discussing how we can be better prepared for such epidemics, how we can prevent them, or at least respond better and faster if they do break out.
"The establishment of a worldwide taskforce with a sensible overall concept and adequate funding is undoubtedly a goal for the medium term, but we should be looking at it even now."
She has taken advice from Bill Gates, pharmaceutical companies and global health experts.
Documents seen by BBC News include proposals for a global taskforce of 10,000 medics and scientists termed "White Coats" .
It would work like an army reserve with people doing their normal jobs, but being ready to be deployed at short notice.
It also calls for an autonomous group within the World Health Organization to take responsibility for all outbreaks.
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
There are also proposals to dramatically increase disease surveillance in poor and middle-income countries to prevent outbreaks going unnoticed.
Three disease testing centres would be set up in each target country, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, with an annual cost of up to £9.7m ($15m).
There are further plans to invest up to £65m ($100m) each year to research drugs, tests and vaccines for other threats.
This is expected to focus on up to 10 diseases including, Mers-coronavirus, Lassa fever and new strains of flu.
Dr Jeremy Farrar, the director of the Wellcome Trust and one of Ms Merkel's advisors, told the BBC: "We shouldn't underestimate the costs of these events.
"Ebola will be somewhere between five and ten billion dollars, Sars ten years ago will have cost similar amounts.
"These are significant costs, the amount of money we would have to spend in order to do the research, to have the surveillance systems in place, and the capacity to respond, would be a fraction of that."
Jonathan Ball, prof of virology at the University of Nottingham, commented: "Where the current Ebola epidemic is concerned the global response was inexcusably tardy and the delayed response undoubtedly fuelled the explosive increases in cases towards the end of last year.
"Disease surveillance and diagnosis are crucial in identifying outbreaks as soon as they start, and can have a massive impact on controlling infection outbreaks.
"These would have prevented the unprecedented spread of Ebola witnessed in West Africa.
"It is difficult to predict where the next virus outbreak will come from, nor what it will be, but preparedness will enable the global community to respond in a timely way and hopefully stamp anything out before it takes a hold - so these are sensible measures."
Joseph Willis, 49, from Exeter, admits causing grievous bodily harm to Helen Pearson but denies attempted murder.
Ms Pearson was stabbed in the neck with a pair of scissors near St Bartholomew's Cemetery, last October, Exeter Crown Court heard.
Previously, Ms Pearson said she had reported 125 incidents to Devon and Cornwall Police regarding stalking.
However, giving evidence on Friday, Mr Willis claimed he never sent her poison pen letters or made abusive calls.
He said: "I never sent any nasty letters to her or her parents. I did not make any of the calls or do any damage to her car or her bike or her home.
"I was worried she was getting the harassment and felt sorry for her and I said I would keep an eye out for her and tell the police if I saw anything."
The court heard that Mr Willis had planned to kill himself on the day of the attack.
He said he went to the flats where he used to live to say goodbye to friends when he saw Ms Pearson.
Mr Willis said she pulled out the scissors and attacked him.
He told the court he was in fear of his life when he stabbed her three times with the scissors and some of her wounds were caused accidentally as they grappled on the ground.
Mr Willis said: "Now I look upon it I think I did wrong.
"But I thought I was going to be really, really badly injured."
The court was previously told the accused sent poison pen letters to Ms Pearson's home branding her a "lying, evil girl" and warning her to "watch her back".
The trial continues.
Two scrappy goals from corners were their undoing, the first bundled in via the hand of Leigh Griffiths.
Deadline-day signing Colin Kazim-Richards scrambled in his first for the club early in the second half.
East Kilbride's defending was often heroic and goalkeeper Matt McGinley did his chances of progressing up the football career ladder no harm either.
This may not be the last we see of the plucky South Lanarkshire side - four tiers below Celtic in the Scottish football pyramid - on the big stage.
Captain Barry Russell - East Kilbride born and bred - generally held the back line together and his charges occasionally knocked the ball about nicely without creating anything clear cut.
The textbook rule when a footballing minnow takes on a giant is not to concede early and East Kilbride's resolve had to be applauded during the first half.
Their defence repelled everything that came at them for 20 minutes.
Charlie Mulgrew, back for the Premiership side after injury, headed over before two East Kilbride players took one for the team in ensuring their goalmouth was not breached in the opening exchanges.
Martin McBride felt the ball full force in his stomach to concede a corner before Scott Stevenson followed in making a last-ditch clearance.
Doubts were cast over Griffiths' ability to continue when he was fouled by Craig Howie - indeed EK boss Billy Ogilvie lightheartedly told the striker to just go off as they crossed paths at the side of the pitch.
But just as Celtic manager Ronny Deila readied substitutes, Griffiths popped up to put Celtic ahead with his 28th goal of the season.
However the ball appeared to go in via the Scotland forward's arm from a yard out following Dedryck Boyata's header from a corner.
Despite that apparent injustice the Kilby team did not crumble.
Goalkeeper McGinley - a PE teacher by trade - dived to deny James Forrest, then punched away the ensuing corner.
Kazim-Richards eased any lingering nerves from the Celtic supporters - who appeared to boo their side at both half-time and full-time - 10 minutes after the interval.
Another corner and a Griffiths overhead kick prompted another scramble, and Stevenson's attempted clearance only fell to the Turkish international, who forced it home.
But the floodgates did not open for Celtic, mainly thanks to the manful efforts of Russell and McGinley.
Jack Smith had one shot on target for East Kilbride before Scott Brown hit the outside of the post near the end for Celtic.

Jemma Skelding, 12, is the youngest person to deliver the address, which is the parliament's first item of business of the week in the chamber.
Miss Skelding said she was pleased be at Holyrood ahead of next week's Deaf Awareness Week.
She told MSPs her parents and an older sister were also deaf.
Miss Skelding shared her experiences of using sign language in the address, which was translated by Mary McDevitt.
She said she grew up using sign language at home and thought everyone could use it, until she attended her first nursery.
Miss Skelding said that her next nursery taught everyone sign language half a day a week.
She said: "This was a really happy time for me.
"I was with my friends and I just felt like everyone else, we played together and we laughed a lot, we even had special sign names for each other."
Miss Skelding said things changed in P3, and by the following year she was "unhappy and felt very lonely."
She said: "My friends would all be talking but I would be left out.
"I don't think it was because they didn't like me, I think trying to communicate was just too difficult for them.
"I remember one girl in my class having a birthday party and all my friends were invited to sleep over at her house.
"I wasn't invited, the girl's mum didn't know what to do with a deaf girl overnight."
Miss Skelding said she became much happier after moving to a school where all the teachers and pupils used sign language.
She said: "I now go to Falkirk High School, they have full time communication support workers and I enjoy school very much."
Lucas, 7, was put into a coma after last Thursday's attack in Joeuf - by a man with psychiatric problems - but he died of his wounds, prosecutors said.
His attacker, aged 30, had a previous conviction for violence but was not considered dangerous and had not received specialist care, reports said.
Residents staged a march in support of the family at the weekend.
Joeuf, a small town of 6,700 people north-east of the city of Metz, was plunged into mourning after the attack.
Mayor Andre Corzani said everything would be done to help the family in the wake of Lucas' death.
The man arrested after the attack had initially fled the scene after he was tackled by an off-duty policeman, but later handed himself in to local police. He was formally placed under investigation the following day.
He was described as suffering from psychiatric troubles, although experts said his judgement was not completely impaired.
Schmidt hailed Leinster's utility back Fitzgerald for slotting seamlessly into Ireland's number 12 shirt for the 50-7 rout of Canada in Cardiff on Saturday.
Henshaw missed the World Cup opener with a hamstring injury but should be fit to face Romania on 27 September.
However, Schmidt is tipping Fitzgerald to compete for a regular midfield role.

"Darren Cave plays 12 or 13 and that's a real advantage for us," said the Ireland boss.
"But we always intended giving Luke a chance at 12, because he has played 13 and 11 in the build-up, and we wanted to build our versatility.
"Darren's pretty likely to have an involvement next week, and that will allow us to mix and match a little bit as we have done through the build-up period.
"But at the same time we know we have got to get results and we have got to go after them right from the start."
The decision to select Fitzgerald out of position at 12 ahead of a natural inside centre raised eyebrows, but Schmidt insisted he needed to use all his resources during the pool stages.
"I thought Luke did really well at 12, his distribution to give Dave Kearney space for his try was great," added the winning coach.
"Defensively he was sound and his ball-carrying is a strength."
On the game overall, Schmidt said: "I felt we built our way into the game pretty well. I think we showed a fair bit of respect for Canada.
"Canada showed why they deserved that respect. They are a very combative side.
"For us to build our way into the game and successfully put a few phases together effectively to build that scoreboard pressure on them as well was satisfying."
Rahmon Fletcher scored 18 points and Joe Chapman 17 for the champions; TrayVonn Wright and Andrew Sullivan hit 14 points each for the Riders.
Leicester led by 14 points in the third quarter but found the Eagles' comeback irresistible in the last 10 minutes.
Sheffield Hatters beat Barking Abbey 79-45 in the Trophy final to continue their domination of the women's game.
The Hatters, led by Great Britain guard Helen Naylor's 21 points, scored the first 15 points of the game.
"Experience pays," noted Hatter coach Vanessa Ellis. "We can bring people off the bench who are GB internationals [Steph Gandy and Olympian Julie Page] and that gives confidence to the team."
Newcastle are similarly dominant in the men's game and Sunday's victory means they remain unbeaten after 23 matches this season.
The Eagles and Riders, meeting in the final for the third time in the last four years, produced what Eagles coach Fab Flournoy called the "most intense final that I've been part of in the last 10 years" in front of a near-capacity crowd estimated at more than 9,000.
Leicester's ball control and defence edged the first quarter 28-25 and after trailing briefly at the start of the second, they reached half-time 50-41 in front.
Three point shots from Jamell Anderson, Tyler Bernardini and Wright studded an 18-8 Riders run to put Leicester 14 ahead in the third quarter but Newcastle surged back to retake the lead for good midway through the final quarter thanks to the efforts of Fletcher, Andrew Lasker and Scott Martin.
"It was frustrating, not so much about the loss but the way we conceded in the second half," said Leicester's Sullivan.
"Newcastle are the standard in this league but some of the mistakes we made allowed them to chip away at our lead."
Lasker said he had not been aware of how big Leicester's third-quarter lead was, just that "there was a lot of time left and you're never going to get it all back in one go".
He added: "We never panicked. We just played our style of basketball."
The home side took the lead when Tom Hopper swept in a shot following a left-wing cross from Conor Townsend.
Doncaster struggled to break down a solid home defence and went further behind when centre-back David Mirfin headed in a Jim O'Brien corner.
The defeat leaves Rovers two points above the relegation zone.

Musician and activist Ntsiki Mazwai had urged South Africans to log off and not buy data to pressure mobile providers.
Discontent over internet service charges in the country last year led to the #DataMustFall campaign.
But it appears that many users could not help but check their social media accounts despite the boycott plea.

"Data costs are obscene and are not affordable for people on the ground," said Ms Mazwai, quoted in Eyewitness News.
"We want to bring attention to this issue; we want to engage government and cellular network companies."
Internet analyst Arthur Goldstuck told Fin24 that although the campaign had fallen short, "in one respect the trend has highlighted the consumers' frustration in dealing with the high cost of data".
Amid public anger over the issue, South African President Jacob Zuma at this year's State of the Union address said "lowering of the cost of data is uppermost in our policies and plans".
Globally, South Africa is mid-ranking when it comes to data prices: Expensive compared with many European countries, cheap though compared with the rest of Africa.
In its annual report, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) ranks South Africa as 85th out of 178 countries for mobile broadband prices, based on 500 MB of pre-paid mobile data.
The ITU puts the monthly cost at $7.76 (£6.1), or about 1.37% of personal income. In Niger, the cost is nearly $8 - but that represents almost a quarter of incomes. | A call for South Africans to boycott social media for a day to protest against high data costs has ironically seen #SocialMediaBlackout trend. | 40,353,258 | 341 | 33 | false |
Amnesty International campaigners say the decision throws the EU-Turkey migrant deal into doubt.
They say migrants in Turkey do not have basic human rights and many are at risk of being taken to Syria.
A source at the Greek migration ministry said the judges were only deciding whether the individual's case could be heard in Greece or not.
On the same day the judges' ruling emerged, Greek and EU authorities sent back 51 migrants to Turkey on boats from the islands of Lesbos and Kos.
Under a deal struck between Turkey and the EU, migrants arriving in Greece are sent back to Turkey if they do not apply for asylum or if their claim is rejected.
The deal came into force in March, and more than 400 people have been sent back.
Now a Greek committee of judges has decided against sending a Syrian asylum seeker back to Turkey.
Amnesty spokesman Giorgos Kosmopoulos told the BBC that Turkey was not currently protecting migrants and refugees to the standards of the Refugee Convention. "Until it becomes a safe country nobody should be returned there," he said.
Migrants in Turkey could not expect access to the rights to work, medical care or family life and there had been "widespread returns of Syrians back to Syria from Turkey", he added.
"The whole (EU) deal should stop and refugees should be settled in other European countries safely and with dignity," Mr Kosmopoulos said.
A civil war has been raging in Syria for more than five years.
The Syrian seeking asylum in Greece had initially been turned down by a Greek court and told he would be sent back to Turkey. However, he appealed against the decision to a panel of judges on the island of Chios who ruled in his favour.
The migration ministry official said that judicial committees at detention centres on the islands did not decide whether migrants were given asylum or not, but only whether Greece should examine their claims.
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.
Dumfries and Galloway College was built by Miller Construction which was involved with a number of the schools.
Regular condition surveys are carried out at the Dumfries building with the most recent a little over a year ago.
However, the college confirmed that in light of recent events a further survey would take place earlier than planned.
Helen Pedley, director of organisational development and facilities, said: "As part of the college's normal maintenance programme regular condition surveys are conducted with the most recent in February 2015.
"In light of recent information the college will undertake a further survey earlier than planned."
A plan for 55 lodges at Jack's Green on the RAF Kings Cliffe site, where Miller played his last hangar concert, has been approved by East Northamptonshire Council.
An online petition attracted more than 300 signatures and parish councils complained about the impact of traffic.
Historian Kevin Flecknor said he had "major concerns" over the memorial.
Landowner Philip Ashton-Jones said it would remain "exactly as it is today".
Miller, who was a major in the US Army, leading the Army Air Force Band, played his final concert with his orchestra at RAF Kings Cliffe on 3 October 1944.
In December that year the band leader went missing over the English Channel while flying to Paris.
A memorial to commemorate the final concert was erected in August 1983.
Mr Flecknor, who lives in Kettering and works as UK liaison for the Cold War Museum Berlin Chapter, said: "I have major concerns about the Glenn Miller Memorial and I fear for its safety."
He wants it moved to a new spot away from the holiday complex but still on the former World War Two American Air Force base.
Wansford Parish Council objected over fears of increased traffic through the village already affected by lorries and cars accessing the industrial estate next to the development.
Yarwell Parish Council was also concerned over traffic levels because the stretch of road to and from the A47 was already very busy.
The main concern of protesters signing the online petition was for a colony of dormice, which is a protected species.
There are also believed to be two extremely rare butterflies at Jack's Green - the purple emperor and black hairstreak - and the protected violet click beetle.
Lock Gilchrist, 24, had been named captain for the matches against Argentina, New Zealand and Tonga.
He was one of five Edinburgh players withdrawn in the first half-hour of Friday's European Challenge Cup match.
And Tommy Seymour may also be withdrawn from the Scots' squad after being injured in Glasgow Warriors' Champions Cup defeat of Montpellier on Saturday.
The winger was stretchered off in a neck brace after coming into collision with Sitaleki Timani.
Edinburgh confirmed x-rays of Gilchrist's fracture were being reviewed by a specialist.
"It looks as if there are hairline fractures in both bones in the forearm," Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons told BBC Scotland on Saturday morning.
"We'll have to wait for the full medical report for a clearer picture."
And Scotland head coach Vern Cotter said: "Clearly this is really disappointing news for Grant, who's been a fine player and leader for his club this season; and was set to continue that role for Scotland this autumn.
"Despite being unable to play, he will still join and be part of the squad in camp tomorrow (Sunday), and feature heavily in our preparations for the autumn Tests."
Solomons revealed Hamish Watson had broken his jaw against Lyon, while Roddy Grant suffered a compressed cheekbone.
He also believes Phil Burleigh has "grade two or three medial ligament damage", predicting lay-offs of between "six to 12 weeks" for those badly injured.
Sam Beard had to go off with a head knock, while Edinburgh lost Scotland duo Alasdair Dickinson and Dougie Fife to unspecified injuries prior to the game.
Edinburgh confirmed Watson and Grant would have operations.
"We've always had tremendous morale and team spirit," added Solomons. "And in the last six weeks we have come together so strongly as a squad.
"We saw that with the incredible win at Bordeaux and then this weekend again, with five guys going off and two guys withdrawing on the morning of the match.
"It speaks volumes for the character of the squad and the composure shown by the players."
At last year's Westminster election, the centre in Newbuildings was selected as the area's polling station.
But some voters complained that they felt intimidated because flags had been flown in the grounds.
The polling station will now move to Newbuildings Primary School, where it had previously been located.
Voters go to the polls for the Northern Ireland Assembly election on 5 May.
Graham Shields, the chief electoral officer, took the decision after he investigated the complaints.
"The reason [for the move] was that loyalist flags were erected in the car park of the community centre," Mr Shields said.
"On polling day, I received a number of complaints from people who were unhappy and felt intimidated when they went to vote by the presence of the flags.
"What we tried to do last year in using the community centre was to minimise the disruption to the local community by having to close the school on polling day.
"However, we feel it is a safer and a more neutral venue to go back to the school."
Mr Shields said it was an important principle that polling stations should be kept neutral.
"We do not want to see anyone feeling unable to exercise their franchise because they feel intimidated," he said.
"We will do everything possible to ensure that people can vote in an atmosphere free from intimidation."
He said his office carried out the necessary consultation about the move and received no objections.
A polling station was removed from Howard Primary School in Moygashel, County Tyrone, at last year's Westminster Election after loyalist flag protestors appeared there at the European and council elections in May 2014.
The primary school will not be used as a polling station in the forthcoming assembly election.
The structure was fixed on to towers by two of the UK's largest cranes and took eight hours to be put in place.
Liverpool, which began work on the stadium expansion last year, said it marked another "incredible chapter".
Work is under way to increase Anfield's capacity from about 45,500 to 59,000. The Main Stand will feature a new third tier, adding 8,300 seats.
The Anfield Road Stand will then be expanded to add a further 4,800 seats.
The £100m work is expected to be completed in time for the 2016-17 season.
Ian Ayre, the club's chief executive, said: "This is an historic milestone in Anfield's history as the stadium transformation continues to take shape.
"This is a redevelopment that gives us a fantastic opportunity to ensure that all the rich history and traditions that make this stadium so special can continue for many years to come."

Sir Nick is the Treasury's permanent secretary, the second most powerful civil servant in the land and the person on whom George Osborne as chancellor relies most for fiscal counsel and the execution of his policies.
In a review of a book on austerity by Bill Keegan, the doyen of Keynesian economic commentators, Sir Nick wrote: "The 2008 crisis was a banking crisis pure and simple. Excessive risk had built up in the system; the regulators failed to appreciate the scale of that risk or to address it.
"It was 'a failure of the Group of Seven economic policymaking establishment', myself included. Inevitably, countries with bigger banking sectors, notably the UK, were worse affected."
Or to put it another way, Sir Nick is putting his hands up and admitting that he and the rest of economic decision-making elite in the rich developed countries were blinkered to the crazy risks being taken by banks in the pursuit of profits and bonuses.
He is conceding that the UK Exchequer relied far too much on revenues generated by the bloated financial services sector: corporation taxes paid by banks on their bloated profits turned out to be unsustainable; equally ephemeral was capital gains tax and stamp duty generated by bubbles in the housing market and in financial securities, both of which were pumped up by banks' reckless provision of finance.
This is to explain why when the Tories say that Labour overspent and Ed Miliband insists the UK's economic mess was all the fault of a global banking crisis, they are contradicting each other far less than may appear the case.
As I said on Friday, Gordon Brown and his economic advisers - who included Nick Macpherson from the impartial civil service, together with Ed Balls and Ed Miliband from his party - felt comfortable pushing up spending by four percentage points of GDP from 2000 to 2007, partly because of their optimism that the growth of the City and of tax revenues associated with that growth would not be a flash in the Exchequer pan.
Brown was wrong, as were Macpherson, Balls and Miliband.
That error has been given official status, as it were: with the benefit of hindsight, both the IMF and the OECD have calculated that the UK's cyclically adjusted deficit - the part of the gap between spending and revenues that normal growth won't eliminate - was bigger in the UK than in other big rich countries.
Thus according to the IMF, in 2007 the cyclically adjusted deficit was 5.3% in the UK, compared with 3.5% in the US and 3.7% in France. And one important reason for the UK's bigger so-called "structural" deficit was that financial services represents a massively bigger share of the UK economy than of the US economy and that of any other of our major competitors.
None of which is to let the Labour government of Brown, Miliband and Balls off the hook. They have to be held to account for making big and important long-term public spending commitments on the basis of money generated by a bloated banking sector that could not be relied upon.
That said, it is worth noting that only days before Northern Rock went kaput, and City euphoria evaporated, George Osborne as shadow chancellor was pledging to match the Labour government's promises to continue increasing public expenditure.
In other words, Osborne was in effect part of Sir Nick Macpherson's blinkered economic establishment.
Even so, it doesn't make Brown, Miliband and Balls less culpable that Osborne also failed to identify that the government was living beyond its means.
They were in power, he wasn't. Which is why many voters seem to be saying that if Miliband and Balls want to pursue their argument that Cameron and Osborne have failed to restore living standards for millions, they need to make a better fist of accepting responsibility for the initial blow to those living standards.
The chapel was built within the shrine of Edward the Confessor.
Henry V ordered the chapel's construction so prayers could be said for his soul after he died.
Tours of the chapel, located at the east end of the abbey, will be led by the Dean of Westminster on the eve of the battle's anniversary on 24 October.
A public ballot for places will open on Tuesday, with six places available per tour, a spokesman for the Abbey said.
Henry V ascended the English throne in 1413
The Battle of Agincourt took place on 25 October 1415 in a muddy field in Picardy, northern France, and was just one battle between the English and French in the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453)
Henry V had been leading his troops back to Calais when the French blocked his path to the sea in order to engage him in fighting
The English forces secured victory in about three hours
The fame of the battle spread because the French had outnumbered the English fighters, although the exact figure/ratio is disputed
The chapel is not usually open to the public because of its access issues.
The boy, who was 16 at the time of his arrest last year, faces up to life in jail. Police alleged he tried to obtain a gun and bomb-making instructions.
It was the second time Australian police have intercepted a terror plot targeting the national holiday.
Anzac Day commemorates the first major battle involving Australian and New Zealand forces during World War One.
At the time of his arrest last year, the teenager had left school and started a trade apprenticeship.
"A plea has been entered and the matter is on its way to finalisation," his lawyer, Upol Amin, said on Friday, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
The case will return to Parramatta Children's Court next month.
In 2015, a 15-year-old British boy was sentenced to life in prison for plotting to behead police officers at an Anzac Day parade in Australia.
Anne-Marie Nield, 44, died after suffering multiple injuries at a flat in Oldham Road in Rochdale in May.
Richard Howarth, 42, of Lincoln Drive in Littleborough, must serve a minimum of 15 years after pleading guilty to murder at Bolton Crown Court.
Police were alerted following text messages to his brother in which he admitted killing her.
He had returned from the pub before he began arguing with Ms Nield and then "viciously attacked" her, police said.
Ms Nield's family earlier said she had a "popular nature" and would be greatly missed.
Mr Bercow said e-voting in polling stations or at home should not be seen as an "earth-shattering" innovation.
Many people treated their phones and other digital devices as "an extension of themselves" and using them to vote would be a natural step, he argued.
But he insisted the "integrity of the ballot box" must be protected.
Mr Bercow is heading a commission into the future of digital democracy and the implications for Parliament of technological trends, such as the use of social media and e-commerce.
In a speech to the Policy Exchange think tank in London, the Speaker suggested that current arrangements for voting "lack transparency" and are not "conducive to increasing the desire for the citizen to participate or trust the system".
"The argument is that a good citizen should have to make an effort to vote, picking up a postcard posted to them weeks before and dragging themselves down to an empty community hall or primary school on a wet Thursday to put a cross on a tiny piece of paper," he said.
"Sorry but I am not convinced this is the pinnacle of 21st Century democracy in action."
Mr Bercow said that at a time when people think nothing of using the internet to bank or to date, it was not unreasonable to ask why they should not be able to also vote that way.
"Yes, of course, there are well-rehearsed arguments regarding electronic and internet voting and the integrity of the ballot box must be absolutely protected," he argued.
"That said in an era in which many people... treat their mobile phone or tablet as an extension of themselves... would it really be an earth-shattering change for voters to vote electronically in a polling station. Or at home, as they do so now with a postal vote."
Innovations such as postal ballots have been introduced in recent years to make voting easier for people who struggle to get to polling stations on the day of an election.
Supporters of e-voting say that it could help to improve turnout at elections. In last month's European elections, only 34% of eligible voters took part.
Mr Bercow also said the House of Commons should consider introducing some form of electronic voting into its procedures as a way of "reaching out" to the world outside.
He said the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland Assembly all used some form of e-voting and, in the case of Wales, this allowed details of votes to be published within half an hour.
"In 21st Century Britain, there is an expectation of openness, a need for flexibility and a greater understanding that people... use and do not use modern technology in a manner that suits them," he added.
The bomb disposal squadron carried out a series of controlled demolitions between 06:30 and 07:00 BST on Tuesday.
They were blowing up misfired flares left over when search and rescue services moved from RAF Valley to Caernarfon last month.
Members of the public were warned to expect explosions and smoke on the airfield on Tuesday morning.
Glen Yates, 78, was found by police at an address in Hudson Road, Blackpool in Lancashire, on Tuesday. His death is not thought to be suspicious.
The next day officers were called back to the "completely ransacked" property to find cash and two medals missing.
They believe thieves smashed through a window after seeing the emergency services and the undertaker leave.
PC Daniel Swarbrick said: "Mr Yates' family are obviously grieving the loss of a beloved father and grandfather, but they have been dealt a double blow knowing his house has since been targeted by thieves.
"Several items of great sentimental value to the family have gone missing and they are desperate to get them back."
Mr Yates was given Army service medals while working in Malaysia.
He was presented with them a few years ago at Fulwood Barracks, police said.
Eight-year-old Saffie Roussos, from Leyland, Lancashire, was one of the 22 people killed at the Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena on 22 May.
She was there with her mother, Lisa, and older sister Ashlee Bromwich.
Family friend Mike Swanny said Mrs Roussos and Ms Bromwich were still in hospital but both "out of any danger".
£1m released for Manchester victims
Mrs Roussos was understood to be in a critical condition initially and on a life support machine.
In a post on Facebook group Leyland Memories, Mr Swanny said Mrs Roussos was now awake and out of surgery and added she was "fully aware of the situation".
Mr Swanny praised Saffie's mother and father Andrew Roussos for their "strength" and "bravery".
"They are all now together... Ashlee the eldest daughter is also out of danger and is talking to her mother," he wrote.
"Now they can start to deal and rebuild their lives."
Mr Swanny added: "I hope this news will make everyone smile as this is the best news we've had through this tragedy."
Saffie was described as "simply a beautiful little girl" by her head teacher at Tarleton Primary School.
Chris Upton said she was "loved by everyone".
Repeated cyber attacks on foreign governments, companies and organisations have been traced to China over the past few years and the Chinese government has often been accused of backing them, either directly or by allowing them to go ahead. Analysts say the attacks often appear to be an attempt to gather information and protect China's image.
Beijing routinely denies state-backed hacking and says it is more a victim of hacking than the culprit. Many other countries are also believed to use cyber espionage.
Here are some of the major cyber attacks for which the finger has been pointed at China.
In 2011, internet security firm McAfee said it had uncovered one of the largest ever series of cyber attacks, targeting 72 different organisations over five years, including the International Olympic Committee, the UN and security firms. It did not name a culprit for the hack, dubbed Operation Shady RAT, but it was widely considered to have been China. Jim Lewis, a cyber expert with the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said at the time it was "very likely China was behind the campaign because some of the targets had information that would be of particular interest to Beijing".
In 2009, suspicion fell on China when hackers broke into the computers of US defence firm Lockheed Martin and took large amounts of data relating to the Joint Strike Fighter, the most advanced warplane in the world. The Wall Street Journal said investigators had traced the attack with a "high level of certainty" to Chinese IP addresses, the unique number that identifies a computer.
In November 2012, drinks giant Coca-Cola said it had been the victim of a cyber attack for more than a month in 2009, Bloomberg news reported. Code in a malicious email, sent to an executive, allowed hackers to operate undetected, logging commercially sensitive information. The attack happened while the company was attempting to buy the China Huiyuan Juice Group for about $2.4bn (£1.5bn). The takeover collapsed, but had it happened it would have become the largest foreign takeover of a Chinese company.
In January 2010, Google said it had been subjected to a "sophisticated cyber attack originating from China". It said the email accounts of human rights activists were among those hacked. The allegations sparked a row between the search engine and the Chinese government over censorship and internet privacy, which prompted Google to move it's Chinese-language operations to Hong Kong.
Information contained in diplomatic cables leaked by Wikileaks showed that the US embassy believed senior Chinese politicians had been behind the attacks. They alleged that a politburo member ordered them after Googling his name and finding critical comments online.
In June 2011, Google said hackers based in China's Jinan province had compromised the personal email accounts of hundreds of top US officials, military personnel and journalists. China said that to blame it was "unacceptable".
Researchers in Canada announced in 2009 that they had been tracking a vast and sustained cyber attack they called Ghostnet for the past 10 months. Ghostnet was one of the largest hacks uncovered in terms of its geographic reach, infiltrating 1,295 computers in 103 countries, targeting computers belonging to foreign ministries and embassies and those linked with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
While they traced Ghostnet mainly to computers in China, the researchers at Information Warfare Monitor made no direct link to the government and Beijing denied involvement.
The space agency was the victim of 47 cyber attacks during 2011. The most serious was traced to IP addresses in China and accessed computers in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which controls Nasa's robots in space. Nasa told the US Congress that the hackers had access to sensitive accounts, could create, delete and modify systems and accounts and upload hacking software. "In other words, the attackers had full functional control over these networks," it said.
The Korean Communications Commission blamed Chinese hackers for stealing data from 35 million accounts on popular social media sites in 2011. The hackers were believed to have stolen phone numbers, email addresses, names and encrypted information about users.
In June 2007, an infiltration of computers at the US Defense Department was blamed on Chinese hackers, with officials saying there was a "very high level of confidence... trending towards total certainty" that the military was behind it, the Financial Times reported. The attack forced the Pentagon to take down its network for a week, although they US said most of the data taken were unclassified. China said the allegation was "totally groundless", the phrase it has routinely used in such circumstances.
The New York Times said it was hacked for four months, though for most of that time it was tracking the hackers through its systems to try to understand what they were doing and how to get rid of them. The paper said the attacks began while it was preparing a report which alleged that the family of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao had vast hidden wealth, and intensified afterwards, apparently looking for names of sources.
The Times said the attacks bore the hallmarks of previous Chinese hacks, including being routed through the same university computers.
Richard Bejtlich, the chief security officer of the firm hired to investigate, said that if each attack was viewed in isolation it was hard to say with certainty that China's military was to blame.
"When you see the same group steal data on Chinese dissidents and Tibetan activists, then attack an aerospace company, it starts to push you in the right direction," he said.
In April 2012, Boxun.com - a website based in the US which had reported extensively on the scandal involving senior Chinese politician Bo Xilai - said it was crippled for several hours by a concerted hacking attack. The origin of the attack was not clear but the site's manager Watson Meng was quoted as saying he believed it was ordered by China's security services.
It shows the aftermath of a car crashing on to a pavement on the Falls Road in west Belfast on Saturday night.
The driver was arrested for various motoring offences and his female passenger had to be cut from the car.
In a Facebook post, PSNI West Belfast said: "Luckily tonight nobody was killed or seriously injured but things could have been very different."
The post also noted that the driver was three times over the legal limit, and carried this message: "Don't be stupid... don't drink and drive. #itsnotworthit #leavethecarathome."
The Yadav family, reported to have 20 members and counting in politics, dominates the Samajwadi Party (SP) at all levels.
Its founder and patriarch, Mulayam Singh Yadav, is the national president of the party. His elder son Akhilesh Yadav is the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.
Mulayam Singh Yadav's brother Shivpal Yadav is a minister in the state government. All SP members of the lower house of the Indian parliament are from the Yadav family. Other members occupy local and regional offices.
Even though political families now dominate, or are found burrowed within most major political parties in India, no other political family has the sheer numbers and sprawl across political offices at all levels of Indian politics that the Yadav family does.
Is India's politics becoming less dynastic?
But last month, old tensions among the Yadavs broke out into open conflict.
Akhilesh Yadav moved against his uncle Shivpal by sacking ministers and bureaucrats believed to be loyal to him.
Mulayam Singh Yadav backed his brother, removing his son from the position of state president of the Samajwadi Party and appointing Shivpal Yadav to the position instead.
For the past month, son and uncle and their respective factions have been fighting it out, with the patriarch playing mediator.
The drama is still unfolding. As of today, several of Akhilesh Yadav's loyalists, including family members Ram Gopal Yadav and Udaiveer Yadav, have been expelled from the party, while Shivpal Yadav and his loyalists have been sacked from the cabinet.
It is also not clear who the party's chief ministerial candidate is: although the SP had on 17 October named Akhilesh Yadav as its candidate for chief minister, the Shivpal Yadav faction is now proposing Mulayam Singh Yadav's name for the position.
In the meantime, the SP's election campaign has come to a standstill.
The Yadavs are only one of several families in charge of India's regional governments.
According to data I collected after India's most recent round of regional elections this year, the chief ministers of 14 of India's 31 regional governments, encompassing 53% of India's population, come from political families - that is, they have family members who either preceded or followed them into politics.
Some chief ministers such as Parkash Singh Badal of the Akali Dal in northern state of Punjab belong to families that head their parties.
Others like Chief Minister Raman Singh of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the central state of Chhattisgarh have families that occupy subordinate positions within larger political parties.
Still others, such as the chief minister of the northern state of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Raje Scindia of the BJP, are from old political families with multiple prominent members in politics.
Others, such as north-eastern Meghalaya state Chief Minister Mukul Sangma of the Congress party and West Bengal state Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of the Trinamool Congress, have only recently been joined by one or two family members who are still relatively unknown.
Regardless, it is clear that we cannot understand the dynamics of regional government in India now, without understanding the dynamics of dynastic politics. That is why the Yadav family feud is worth paying attention to.
One of the major advantages of dynastic politics is that it acts as a glue to keep the party together - or at least it produces a lower likelihood of dissension than the alternatives.
This is not because political families do not have feuds. They have plenty.
The Yadav family feud is simply the most recent of a long line of such others, including the rift between former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her daughter-in-law Maneka Gandhi in the Nehru-Gandhi family, or between the brothers MK Stalin and MK Azhagiri of the Karunanidhi family in southern Tamil Nadu state, the Scindias in central Madhya Pradesh state, or the Thackerays in western Maharashtra state.
But dynasties usually hold parties together, notwithstanding such feuds, because the loser does not have a good exit option. Losers who leave the parent party rarely obtain a comparable position elsewhere: they are not trustworthy enough for a rival party.
The case of the Scindias who occupy senior positions in both the Congress and the BJP, is relatively rare. Those family members who form their own party are sooner or later wiped out. Because the dynastic mantle can logically fall on only one successor, there is usually only one party left standing when the dust settles.
When Chandrababu Naidu won the struggle of succession in the Telugu Desam after NT Rama Rao's (NTR) death, for example NTR's widow Laxmi Parvathi formed a party of her own, the NTR-TDP. But the new party soon fell by the wayside.
The history of other family feuds suggests that the Samajwadi Party feud may resolve in one of two ways: either warring family members, will end up remaining, albeit rancorously, within the same party, or, if there is a split, one of the two branches may end up becoming the dominant one over time.
Regardless, it is likely to be unusually damaging to the party's electoral prospects for one main reason - this is a feud across rather than within generations.
Dynastic ties, have often in the past, served to smooth succession crises: it is easier for members of the older generation to cede their positions to members of their own family. But an inter-generational feud, in which members of two different generations are fighting over the same position is less common.
An intergenerational feud is especially damaging to the SP because of the large population of young people in Uttar Pradesh.
India is a very young country to start with: half of its 1.25 billion people are under 27, while almost two-thirds are younger than 35.
But the population of Uttar Pradesh is even younger: with a median age of 20, Uttar Pradesh is one of two Indian states with the youngest population in the country.
When Akhilesh Yadav became chief minister for the first time in 2012, he became the state's youngest-ever chief minister.
He quickly became an icon for the young, who are poorly represented in higher-level institutions in India.
Now, at 43, he is still the youngest contender for the position of chief minister in the field: his father Mulayam Singh Yadav is just short of 77, the Bahujan Samaj Party's Mayawati is 60, and the Congress nominee, Sheila Dixit, is almost 80.

The Private Ambulance Service in Basildon, Essex, provides emergency cover for the East of England Ambulance Service.
Current staff members have also claimed some equipment in PAS ambulances is in poor condition.
PAS says its blue-light driver training has been outsourced since January 2016.
This new procedure, involving an approved training organisation used by the NHS, was introduced after those interviewed by the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme had joined PAS.
Dan Duke worked in patient transport for the PAS in 2013 before he was sacked.
His job sometimes involved transferring patients between hospitals.
Although this can require the use of blue emergency lights if the patient is seriously unwell, he says the company gave him a minimal amount of training to drive under emergency conditions.
"I got in the vehicle, got everything ready, started to drive out, put the blue lights on, and then it was just drive all the way down the A127… and then back to the trading estate from where they are based - an hour's training," he told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
Mr Duke now works for a different private ambulance company, where he says he has received comprehensive training in his job.
According to the Road Safety Act 2006, ambulance drivers are exempt from certain laws of the road - including the speed limit - providing they are properly trained or are in the process of being trained.
Dave Bradley, from the East Midland Ambulance Service NHS Trust, says it would be impossible to train someone properly to drive under blue lights in one hour.
"Everything on the road or on the side of the road is a potential hazard to us," he told the programme.
"Our driver's course is four weeks long, the first two weeks is the foundation, then the blue light driver training takes another two weeks."
Several past and present employees from PAS have told the Victoria Derbyshire programme that the vehicles are often dirty, the equipment is sometimes inadequate or broken and they are asked to work dangerously long hours.
Paul, not his real name, worked for PAS a medic before he lost his job in 2016.
He says he was not given an induction or training when he started with the company, but his principal concern was about his colleagues.
"It was quite clear that I was working with people that, not through their own fault, weren't trained," he told the programme.
"It's putting patients at risk. It's putting lives at risk. It's delaying what can be time-critical first aid."
Existing members of staff at PAS got in touch with the programme about what they said were the dirty conditions and broken equipment they had encountered when working on non-emergency patient transport shifts.
Alan Lofthouse, Unison's lead officer for ambulance workers, says any such conditions could prove hazardous to sick people being transported.
"The patient that's got to ride in the ambulance has the right for that ambulance to be clean and in a condition that's going to support their health," he told the programme.
"Patient transport services move some very ill and vulnerable people."
A spokesman for PAS said it offered a high level of patient care to all patients transported on its service.
He said: "All of our staff are fully trained above the required standard, and we have full policies and procedures in place to deal with any eventuality within the business.
"We are regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission and were last inspected in October 2016.
"Whilst we appreciate there have been some allegations made, we do not accept the nature of the allegations to be accurate."
PAS also said its staff received induction training and full training where necessary.
And staff who joined from other companies had to complete clinical skills assessments and driving assessments prior to being offered employment at PAS.
"It is the responsibility of all staff to ensure their vehicles are kept to the highest standard of cleanliness as per our infection prevention and control policy," the spokesman added.
The East of England Ambulance Service says it needs to use private ambulance companies to meet demand, which are regulated by the CQC and are internally vetted.
The Care Quality Commission said it had carried out an inspection at the PAS in August, following concerns raised by former PAS staff members, and had found "many of the concerns unsubstantiated".
However, it also said it had found poor standards in infection control, staff not being given enough time off between shifts and poor governance and leadership arrangements.
A further inspection had shown improvements, including an updated cleaning procedure, and an action plan for further improvements, it added.
In February last year, Gary Page, 54, died at home in Laindon, Essex, hours after being seen by a PAS crew working for the East of England Ambulance Service.
He had had a heart attack but was told he had a pulled muscle or indigestion.
A coroner at his inquest in September said he had been the victim of serious failings.
Following the inquest, East of England Ambulance Service said a review had taken place and training and communication was being improved.
In a statement at the time, James Barnes, managing director of PAS, said the company had been "working closely with East of England Ambulance Service to ensure we have fully followed the recommendations within their investigation report".
The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.
Eight-year-old Lucy Jack, from Linlithgow, was seriously injured after falling on a grid which locals say had been installed upside down.
The park was outside her grandmother's house in Larbert, Falkirk.
Cala Homes said it handed over responsibility for the development in 2011. Factors Hacking and Paterson declined to comment.
Lucy was injured in April this year, on the first day of the Easter holidays, when she was playing outside her grandmother's house.
She told the BBC: "We decided to play football outside so my big brother kicked the ball out so I went to run and I slipped over on the grate so I just sliced my leg open.
"It felt really sore, I didn't want to see it... I just wish it had never happened in the first place."
Lucy fell on a metal grate designed to stop dogs going into the play park, seriously injuring her knee.
Her father Scott Jack said: "It was a very nasty cut - two cuts - and one of which we could see right down into the bone, so we quickly realised we had to get her to hospital."
Residents living around the park have claimed the metal grid and two others like it had originally been installed the wrong way round, with the metal ridges protruding up.
They also told the BBC they had previously spoken to the factor and the builders about the issue.
Lucy's grandmother, Christine Campbell, said: "I'm very angry actually, it's my granddaughter that's been hurt. I let her go out to play in park that I believed to be safe.
She added: "We also pay factoring charges for it so it's looked after, that's also to do with maintenance of the play park yet in five years no-one has picked up on the fact it's got dangerous gratings."
The play park at the Kinnaird Park development was installed for Cala in 2010 by a specialist contractor, according to the builder.
Since 2011, the park has been entirely owned by the home-buyers at Kinnaird Park, with a management services company responsible for maintaining the common areas, including the play park.
Lucy's father said she needed 10 stitches in her injury and has become wary since the accident.
The family is seeking compensation from the factor and builder on the grounds of negligence.
Mr Jack added: "I'm concerned my daughter's scarred for life but I'm also concerned about the safety of other children.
"I think the grates themselves have clearly been installed the wrong way round. It's not only dangerous but really negligent in my opinion."
After Lucy's accident, residents have turned the grates over themselves, with the protruding metal ridges now facing down.
Left-back Danny Rose (knee) and midfielder Erik Lamela (hip) both remain on the sidelines.

Manager Mark Hughes may give Saido Berahino his first start for the club after a couple of appearances as a substitute.
Guy Mowbray: "After the disappointment of exiting Europe at Wembley, Spurs return to their real home for the first of four games in a row there.
"Unbeaten at White Hart Lane all season, it could now be a comfort blanket to reheat a campaign that's cooled in the last month.
"With 10 points to make up on Chelsea, the realistic target is to seal a Champions League place - something first achieved thanks to Peter Crouch seven years ago.
"Stoke's top scorer will get a warmer welcome back than old Spurs foe Charlie Adam - not that the Scotsman wants one. He got his own warm fuzzy feeling from the birth of his third child this week!"

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "We need to move on and forget [the defeat in the Europa League] and try to be focused on Sunday, and ready to fight because the [Premier League] doesn't wait for you.
"It always pushes you to give your best. Now is not the time to cry, but to move on and to start preparing for the game against Stoke."
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "The key to the game on Sunday is to start brightly and get a foothold in the game. Hopefully we will be sharp from the off.
"They are a strong side, they are very impressive at home and we will be up against it. We are in good shape though.
"We disappointed ourselves against Spurs earlier in the season but we are a different proposition for them now. We have improved."
Spurs were outplayed in their last league game, at Liverpool, because they were not allowed enough of the ball.
Sunday will be a different story. Stoke will dig in, of course, but Tottenham have got players who can hurt them.

Celtic travel to Kazakhstan on Sunday ahead of Tuesday's tie, with Rodgers adamant that he will select a team to win the match and not just see it out.
"We want to go there and win the game. We want to perform well," he said.
"It was a brilliant performance and now we need to get the job done there."
An own goal by Evgeni Postnikov and a Scott Sinclair strike established a 2-0 half-time lead for Celtic, and they added further goals through Sinclair again, James Forrest and an Igor Shitov own goal.
Celtic drew 1-1 away to Astana in the third qualifying round last season, before progressing by winning 2-1 at home, and the Kazakh champions have a strong home record.
Rodgers, though, was impressed with the way his players have grown and developed in European competition in the past 12 months,
"It's a great demonstration of the work the players have made and progressed over the course of the last season," the Celtic manager said.
"You could see the physical courage when I came, but having the ability to be composed, to have maturity, to handle the ball, and have the belief in a shape and understanding of the game, that was perfectly demonstrated tonight.
"It was an outstanding team performance, creativity, pressing, really good structure to the team. We scored five goals and missed one or two chances. To do that at this level of competition for a Scottish team, I was really proud of the team.
"We're in a better place [than last season] but we understand we have to finish the job off.
"The players deserve a huge amount of credit, they managed the game very well. We've made a really good start and it's another game when we haven't conceded.
"We'll pick a team to win the game [next week]. I've got trust in all the players, they're very clear in how we play."
Rodgers confirmed that midfielder Stuart Armstrong is likely to sign a contract extension "within 24 to 48 hours" and added that Tom Rogic appeared to have recovered from a second-half head knock that required him to leave the field.
"Tom is fine," Rodgers said. "He was smiling at the end.
"Stuart, hopefully imminently, he will agree an extension to his deal. Hopefully that will be announced in the next 24, 48 hours, which will be brilliant for us.
"I have a huge admiration for him, this is the place for him to develop and he's a vital member of our squad."
Mr Manana has apologised for the "shameful incident" saying that even though he was provoked, he "should have exercised restraint".
Women's minister Susan Shabangu said she heard the news of the alleged assault "with great shock".
There are concerns about the level of violence against women in the country.

A police spokesman confirmed to Agence France-Presse that they were investigating the alleged incident, which took place in the early hours of Sunday morning.
In a tape recording leaked to the press, purportedly of a conversation between the victim's brother and the minister, the person alleged to be the minister admits to slapping the victim when she called him gay.
But he implies that other people who were with him were responsible for the worst of the violence.
Lumko Jimlongo, a journalist from the national broadcaster SABC, witnessed the alleged assault at the Cubana nightclub near Johannesburg.
He told SABC news that the victim was trying to walk towards the exit when she was struck, "she fell on the floor... then he proceeded to trample [her]... and his foot was on her head".
Mr Manana made his apology "to the victim, her family... and all South Africans" and said that he hoped to speak to her personally to "address the harm that has occurred".
Local media report that the row started over who should succeed President Jacob Zuma when he steps down as leader of the governing ANC in December.

5 live’s James Shaw, who reported from the war in 2003, goes through the main findings.
Hart's weakness at set-pieces aimed low to his left was exposed at Euro 2016 by Gareth Bale for Wales and Iceland's Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, the 30-year-old getting hands on both but failing to prevent goals, the second of which ended England's interest in the tournament.
This time Hart was engulfed by the perfect footballing storm of a brilliant set-piece from Griffiths, a wall that did not jump and poor positioning from the goalkeeper himself, too far over to his right to be able to get near Scotland's equaliser.
Griffiths repeated the treatment to Hart's right from a free-kick three minutes later and while England snatched a 2-2 draw in this World Cup qualifier, Hart's position as undisputed first-choice goalkeeper has never been under greater threat.
Two great free-kicks no doubt - but opponents have sensed the soft underbelly in Hart's game and it will not go away.
Joe Hart is still a good goalkeeper - but these are tough times for someone who has been regarded as a senior England figure and automatic selection for so long,
He was brutally moved on by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City last summer. No-one tempting enough came forward in the Premier League and he ended up at Torino in Serie A, where Italian observers reflected on his performances this season as mixed.
It remains to be seen if there are any more Premier League takers this summer than there were last, but this display will have been more of a concern as far as England are concerned.
When opposition sense weakness it is probed relentlessly and ruthlessly. Think England cricketer Graeme Hick, a wonderful run-getter, tortured throughout his international career against raw pace.
Bale and Sigthorsson were the most high-profile examples of Hart's main vulnerability, when in France he also cut an agitated and over-hyped figure.
And Hart simply does not seem to be the goalkeeper he once was. If this is merely some elongated dip away from his highest standards then his timing is also unfortunate.
Hart will still be able to operate at a high level but the very reasonable question being posed now is: "Is he still England's best option? Is there anyone else out there?"
The fear for Hart is that he is providing the answers to those two key questions with his own indifferent performances. No. Yes.
There has never been a more obvious time for change.
Hart had a free run at the England goalkeeping position for many years when he enjoyed success at Manchester City - the latest problem he faces is that he is suddenly under pressure from a quartet of contenders.
England manager Gareth Southgate will surely take the opportunity to try another option against France in Paris on Tuesday night. It will be a big night for the man who gets the first audition.
Southampton's Fraser Forster, who also had his indifferent moments last season, will hope it is him after the 29-year-old giant has waited patiently on the margins while winning his six caps.
And, with a touch of irony, Stoke City's 24-year-old Jack Butland must also now be regarded as a live contender to replace Hart. Ironic, because it was on England duty that the excellent Butland sustained the ankle injury, in a friendly against World Cup holders Germany in Berlin in March last year. That injury sidelined him until virtually the end of the recent season.
Butland, who has won four caps, was first cab off the rank to replace Hart and this confident, athletic keeper may soon discover that his time has come.
Burnley's 31-year-old Tom Heaton had an outstanding season at Turf Moor, although he must be regarded as an outside chance with Sunderland's Jordan Pickford, on England Under-21 duty for the European Championship, another potential long-term successor.
Pickford was a shining light in Sunderland's desperate relegation season. He will not be at the Stadium of Light at the start of next term. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with Everton and he will want a top-flight stage for a season leading into a World Cup.
So Hart's problem is not just his own steady decline, it is the fact he has now got the most serious competition he has ever had.
If Southgate believes there is a better option than Hart as England goalkeeper he will pick him. The nonsense about "too nice" Southgate has been put to bed forever by his decision to exclude former captain Wayne Rooney from his plans.
Southgate is an admirer of Rooney, recognises his enduring qualities, but believes he currently has better to select from - so Manchester United and England's all-time record goalscorer was left out.
Hart's big worry will be when Southgate feels the same about him. He will not dodge the call.
The 28-year-old former Derby County keeper, who played 22 times for City earlier this season, suffered ligament damage in an under-21 match on Monday.
As a result, teenager Max O'Leary has been recalled from his loan spell at non-league Kidderminster Harriers.
"I feel really sorry for him (Fielding)," head coach Lee Johnson told the club website.
"He's gone from being an ever-present in last year's success to his injury troubles which have thwarted his season this time around."
The victims were probably infected by local mosquitoes in the Wynwood area.
Pregnant women who had been in the zone since 15 June were urged to get tested, while those planning a baby should wait eight weeks after leaving the area.
The illness, which is most commonly transmitted by mosquitoes, is linked to defects including small-head syndrome, or microcephaly, in newborns.
The governor of Florida, Rick Scott, also called for an emergency response team to be set up, to investigate and combat the virus's spread.
On Saturday, England's public health agency advised mums-to-be to postpone non-essential travel to Florida.
At that point, only four cases of Zika that were believed to have been contracted from mosquitoes within Florida had been confirmed there. They were thought to be the first of their kind in the US.
Other Zika cases were among people returning from infected areas overseas.
The 14 latest Florida cases may have come about because the victims were bitten by mosquitoes that had themselves became infected by biting people who had brought the virus back from their travels to the Caribbean and South America.
Mr Scott said the new warning advises women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant to avoid the square mile area just north of central Miami.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the travel notice.
The CDC said that women who had been in Wynwood or had travelled there since 15 June and were in the first or second trimesters (weeks one to 27) should get tested.
It also recommends women not get pregnant for eight weeks after leaving the area.
Mr Scott said: "Florida has a proven track record of success when it comes to managing similar mosquito-borne viruses.
"While I encourage all residents and visitors to continue to use precaution by draining standing water and wearing bug spray, Florida remains safe and open for business."
However, the CDC said mosquito control efforts were not working as well as hoped.
Of the 14 individuals identified, two are women and 12 are men.
The 24-year-old victim was attacked as she walked towards Oxford Street from Cambridge Avenue in Whitley Bay at about 10:20 GMT on Saturday.
The woman's attacker is described as white, aged about 30, 6ft tall, bald, with dark coloured eyes and was wearing a grey or white shirt.
Northumbria Police have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
The Ospreys fly-half has been named in the side to face the Barbarians at the Millennium Stadium.
"We know where we are in the pecking order and it is about trying to change that pecking order," said Biggar.
Priestland is one of 16 frontline players who will fly out ahead of Wales's first Test against Australia.

Perpignan fly-half James Hook lines up at centre against the Baa-Baas, but is also a fly-half contender.
Biggar landed the winning conversion to clinch the Ospreys the Pro12 title in their 31-30 victory over Leinster in Dublin.
The 22-year-old won the last of nine Wales caps against Australia in December, returning to Test duty after a 12-month absence that included missing the 2011 World Cup.
Biggar also missed out on Wales's 2012 Six Nations Grand Slam in which Priestland's form was questioned.
"Rhys has done superbly well over the last 12 months," said Priestland.
"He quite rightly deserves to be number one in the squad at the moment.
Rhys Priestland quite rightly deserves to be number one in the squad at the moment
"We know where we are in the pecking order and it is about trying to change that pecking order.
"There is no point me being happy to be on the bench, or having a holiday, because I want to be pushing all the way.
"If I can push him, it will make him a better player and Wales a better team, then we are all winners."
Biggar, who made his Wales debut in the autumn of 2008, did not hide his excitement to be back in the Wales squad or his determination to make the four-match tour to Australia.
He wants to be among 18 players named after the Baa-Baas game to join the 16 advance-party players who fly to Brisbane for the three-Test series against the Aussies.
"It was brilliant to come back in on Monday morning," said Biggar.
"To see your name announced is something you want and to come back is a little bit like coming back into school.
"I am just really glad to be back and really looking forward to Saturday and, hopefully, if I get on the tour, pushing for a place out there.
"We are aware that the first-choice team flies out on Thursday and it's up to us, stepping up to the plate and showing we are competitive.
"There are a lot of guys pushing the starters all the way and a good game against the Barbarians will do our cause no harm."
A Dubai judge is to give a verdict on Monday in the trial of Grant Cameron and fellow Londoners Suneet Jeerh and Karl Williams. They all deny charges.
Tracy Cameron told the BBC the three, who say they were given electric shocks, had been "treated appallingly".
Police in the country have denied any wrongdoing.
The three men, who are charged with possessing, taking and intending to distribute illegal drugs, were arrested on holiday in August after police said they found a quantity of synthetic cannabis known as "spice" in their car.
Legal rights charity Reprieve said the charges should have been dropped and the men - who went on trial in February - should be released because of the torture allegations.
Meanwhile, the UK Foreign Office has called for a full, independent and impartial inquiry into the allegations and says it has raised them with "very senior officials" in the United Arab Emirates.
Ms Cameron said her son and his friends were put through "a pretty terrifying ordeal" after they were arrested.
"They were taken back to their hotel room, they were beaten in their hotel room, it does appear they were separated from each other and each taken to a different room," she told the BBC.
"Karl was laid out on the bed, his trousers were stripped down and electric shocks were administered to his testicles while he was blindfolded.
"I believe all boys had guns held to their head - they were told they were going to die.
"Grant sustained electric shocks to his torso and I believe Suneet had shocks administered to him to the back of his head and his back."
She said all the men were pressured into signing statements written in Arabic which they did not understand.
When her son told her of the torture in a phone call, Ms Cameron said she felt "beside myself, sheer horror, terror, just complete and utter meltdown really".
"Your son being arrested so far away from home is challenge enough to deal with but, once he told us how he'd been treated, I can only describe it as something from a horror story."
She said she had been told by lawyers her son was likely to be found guilty of at least one of the charges and could be jailed for 15 years or longer.
Reprieve's Kate Higham said torture by Dubai police was "hugely common" and the charity believed the men's "extremely plausible" account.
It was backed up by notes from Foreign Office staff who had visited the men and documented their injuries, she said.
"We've shown these to a doctor who's an expert in the assessment of torture and he's said that the injuries are consistent with the torture that the men described," she added.
She said that, if British experts were allowed access to the men, a simple diagnostic test would "very easily" prove they had been tortured.
However, Doctor Abdul-Kallek Abdulla, a professor of political science in the UAE, told BBC Radio Five Live there was no proof to support the torture claims and "absolutely no truth" to the allegations heard in the British media.
He said: "You could say whatever you want but I go by official statements. The UAE is not a country which practices these things."
Meanwhile, a coalition of campaigners has urged Prime Minister David Cameron to challenge the human rights record of the United Arab Emirates during a state visit by the country's president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan later this week.
The coalition - comprising seven human rights organisations, including Amnesty International - has written to the prime minister urging him to raise the issue of alleged abuses.
BBC world affairs correspondent Richard Galpin said there would be a chance for British officials to discuss the case with the UAE president.
But foreign policy and bilateral trade issues would be at the heart of formal talks with the government, our correspondent added.
Ms Cameron said she hoped the president would listen: "I sincerely hope that he is able to look into the case and show a level of clemency to the boys because, sincerely, that's what needs to happen in this case and hopefully, once he's made aware, he can make that happen."
Millionaire businessman Jonathan Ruffer has already paid £15m to save a collection of 17th Century Spanish paintings at Auckland Castle.
He now plans to spend a further £18m on revamping the Bishop Auckland castle as a tourist attraction.
Full details of the ambitious plans are due to be unveiled in April.
In March last year, the North Yorkshire-born investment banker created a £15m charity to save 12 works by Spanish artist Francisco Zurbaran, which were due to be sold by the Church of England to raise cash.
The deal almost fell through when Church Commissioners imposed planning conditions on the acquisition of the castle.
They were withdrawn when Mr Ruffer threatened to pull the plug on the cash.
Mr Ruffer said: "It will cost about £9m to scrub the castle up and it will probably need the same again to keep the show on the road.
"Ideally a couple of things will happen pretty quickly, but my guess is that it'll take a couple of years at least to get the thing finished.
"The purpose at the centre of it all will be to tell the story of Christianity in the North East and the story of Auckland Castle itself.
"Lots of people get off the train at Durham City, have a look around, wander around the cathedral, have a Big Mac and then clamber back on the train and go to Edinburgh and do the same again.
"I want to draw people into the area with the castle as a focus."
Mr Ruffer said he was in talks with the British Museum, British Library and other major institutions, about hosting exhibitions at Auckland Castle.
The Antrim man hit a break of 123 in the first frame and came from 3-2 down to set up a last-16 tie with Mark King.
Former world champion Mark Williams was beaten 4-3 by fellow Welshman Dominic Dale in a final-frame decider.
Barry Hawkins is also through after a 4-2 win over Michael Holt, while Matthew Selt beat Andrew Higginson 4-1.
Dale, who now plays another former world champion Shaun Murphy, clinched victory with a break of 61 in the final frame.
"I haven't performed in the big arenas this season so a win like this is a big stepping stone for me," he said.
Selt replaced Mark Selby in the draw after the world number one withdrew from the event last week and could move into the top 16 if he reaches the final this week.
Ryan Day enjoyed a 4-1 win over Kyren Wilson, with Robert Milkins beating Tian Pengfei by the same scoreline.
Ricky Walden had breaks of 112, 77, 57 and 80 in beating Tom Ford 4-1.

The Linen Green in Moygashel changed hands for "an undisclosed sum" to the Neptune Group.
The company, which has a number of residential projects in Belfast, said it plans to "rejuvenate" the outlet.
As well as shops, it also has restaurants and offices.
"We feel that the scheme still offers fantastic potential," said Patrick Heffron, director of the Neptune Group.
The Linen Green was first developed as a designer outlet in the early 1990s.
It was formerly owned by Jermon Developments, which collapsed in 2011, before being placed on the market by the Republic's National Asset Management Agency (NAMA).
Last year, NAMA's entire property portfolio was sold to the international investment firm, Cerberus Capital Management, based in New York, for more than £1bn.
The campaign includes a social media campaign and adverts in medical journals.
It comes as junior doctors in England are locked in a bitter dispute over pay and conditions with the UK government.
The Scottish health secretary said junior doctors were "valued members of our healthcare team here in Scotland".
Shona Robison also said they were "integral to our continuing drive to improve care to the people of Scotland".
Strike action planned in England for Wednesday could see thousands of operations, procedures and appointments cancelled, with junior doctors providing only emergency care over a 24-hour period.
The dispute centres on weekend pay and the point at which a premium rate of pay kicks in for junior doctors.
Ms Robison said: "I would encourage junior doctors across the UK and beyond to consider the exciting opportunities that the NHS in Scotland provides."
The campaign includes videos following four trainee doctors working in the Scottish NHS, as well as Scotland's top doctor, chief medical officer Catherine Calderwood.
These are part of the #juniordocscot social media campaign, which will run until 8 March - the deadline for submitting applications for medical speciality training places across the UK.
Ms Robison added: "These videos feature the real-life experiences of junior doctors who are working and training in our NHS right now. Their stories illustrate the fantastic opportunities for training available in Scotland - whether that is working in inner city communities or with remote and rural populations, all within a flexible and supportive training environment."
Dr Calderwood said: "I am delighted to be involved in this drive to encourage more junior doctors to consider the opportunities Scotland provides for their future careers.
"I am extremely proud of the strong record we have of delivering high-quality training, as well as our fantastic academic research and development opportunities.
"The NHS in Scotland has a strong focus on continual development and improving the quality of services we provide. We aim to grow junior doctors into the medical leaders of the future - providing opportunities for clinicians at all stages to deliver the highest quality of patient care."

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

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

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

Phillips has been partnering New Zealand legend Dan Carter at half-back for the French Top 14 club.
But the 33-year-old Welshman has yet to receive a fresh offer from Racing.
He told BBC Radio Wales: "I do really enjoy it at Racing and hopefully something can be organised there, but that's pretty much it, really."
Phillips also indicated he would be unlikely to seek a return to Wales, where he played for Scarlets, Cardiff Blues and Ospreys.
"I enjoyed those times in Wales and they're very special to me," said the 2009 and 2013 Lions tourist. "I like to keep on moving forward, really, not that it [going back to Wales] is a backward step or anything.
"Hopefully [I will] try and stay in Paris and if that doesn't happen, then see what happens."
Phillips retired from international rugby in December as Wales' most-capped scrum-half after being an unused member of Warren Gatland's 2015 World Cup squad.
Racing host Glasgow in the European Champions Cup on Saturday, with Phillips' former club Scarlets travelling to Paris on Sunday, 17 January.
The businesses all rely on the US company's cloud computing division - Amazon Web Services - to power their internet operations.
Amazon has acknowledged that some of its servers lost power early on Sunday morning.
This coincided with a major storm.
Local reports have linked the severe weather conditions to the blackout, but this has not been confirmed by Amazon.
Affected services included:
AWS's status dashboard indicated that its automated systems had managed to restore the majority of its affected compute servers within 70 minutes.
However, it noted that "a couple of unexpected issues" had caused problems to persist into Monday.
By this point, however, most of the affected services were working as normal again.
AWS is designed so its customers can choose to power their online services via several of its data centres at the same time.
In theory, this means that even if one site stops working, the client's online service should continue uninterrupted.
It is not clear whether the affected services had made use of the facility.
Amazon competes with Microsoft, Google and others to sell virtual computing facilities.
They suggest they can save companies the greater cost of building and maintaining their own servers.
Sunday's fault - and others before it - highlight a potential risk in centralising online services together in this way.
But one expert highlighted how quickly AWS had been able to handle its blackout.
"The speed at which Amazon got stuff back up and running is impressive and represents one of the big plus points of going down the distributed cloud route," said Chris Green, a tech analyst at the consultancy Lewis.
"When problems do happen, it can rectify them or shunt systems off to another data centre far faster than most companies could do in-house."
Several banks in Australia also reported problems with their apps over the weekend.
Some customers were unable to make online purchases, while others could not use smartphone fingerprint sensors to log into their accounts.
Melbourne-based Members Equity Bank blamed "server issues that have affected several banks following the storms on the east coast".
An AWS spokesman told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper that it was not involved with the banks' issues.
The tale of elderly brothers Gummi and Kiddi, played by Sigurdur Sigurjonsson and Theodor Julisson, who farm next door to each other in a bleak Icelandic landscape, is Hakonarson's second feature film, but it won the prestigious Un Certain Regard prize at last year's Cannes Film Festival, and has gone on to be released in more than 40 countries.
With no women in their lives, and no one for company apart from their sheep, the estranged brothers send any necessary messages to each other via their sheepdog - or occasionally, a shotgun.
But when the lethal disease scrapie breaks out in their valley, all herds are culled. It's effectively a death sentence for the famers too, leaving Gummi and Kiddi to save their industry from extinction.
With a plotline like this, and two lead actors that trade magazine Variety describes as "King Lear-like", many international audiences have been surprised to find Rams described as comedy, but that, according to Hakonarson, comes down to cultural nuances.
"It's a very Icelandic sense of humour," he explains. "If you think of the old Icelandic sagas, describing battle and death, we find some of these descriptions funny. It's a very bleak sense of humour, but we come from the far north, without much light, and depression is intrinsic to our humour.
"Perhaps it's more accurate to describe Rams as a tragi-comedy. There's a cocktail of drama and comedy in the script that is very subtle, and the comedy comes from the ridiculousness of the situation. It's absurd that elderly men who live next door to each other have to rely on a dog to pass messages, it's sad and funny at the same time."
Hakonarson, 39, grew up in rural Iceland, and took a job on a sheep farm as a teenager, which would eventually give him the idea for Rams.
"I´ve experienced the life of the sheep farmer and I know people who have a great passion for sheep," he says.
"I know this may sound humorous to you, but there seems to be a strong connection between men and sheep in Iceland, stronger than other animals. Not only because of historical and cultural reasons, people seem to get emotionally more attached to their sheep.
"I wanted to do a film about this connection; about the relationship between farmers and their sheep. Many farmers I know are bachelors; they live alone. The sheep become their family and best friends. The ties become stronger.
"Then I heard a story of two brothers who lived next to each other and didn't speak for 40 years. I think however, this was over a woman, but I found that story interesting and tragi-comical and maybe a bit Icelandic.
"Many Icelanders are stubborn and very independent. So I combined these two ideas into a script."
While TV shows from the Nordic countries - Iceland, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden - have shown across the world, the most high-profile, including Borgen, The Killing and The Bridge, originated in Denmark.
Feature films from the five countries have found it harder to reach an international audience; the most successful, apart from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series, is 2012's Headhunters from Norway, an adaptation of a Jo Nesbo thriller, and 2014's The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of a Window, again an adaptation of a bestseller.
Iceland's last Oscar nomination was in 1991, for Fridrik Thor Fridriksson's Children of Nature. While Rams, or Hrutar in its original language, did not make the final Academy Awards shortlist, it's one of the most commercially successful films yet to come from the Nordic countries, and Iceland's largest international film to date in terms of box office - something Hakonarson is finding hard to grasp.
"We made this film for under two million euros and now we've been negotiating for release in China," he says. "It's very rare for a film to be both successful at home and abroad - our culture usually doesn't travel. It's also rare for our films to be both a critical and commercial success.
"In Iceland, we don't have much money to make films. Therefore we make rather simple and humanistic stories. We can't afford to make period movies either. I'm very happy that a film about sheep farmers who don't talk to each other can be so successful abroad. We can't compete with Hollywood in genre films, it's better for us to make films like Rams.
"What has startled me the most is the questions about the landscape from international audiences, which is very much another character in the film. Urban audiences in particular are very keen to experience it for themselves - I'm starting to feel like an ambassador of the Icelandic tourist board."
With a 100% rating on movie critic site Rotten Tomatoes, Rams has been described as "a far from woolly tale" with "bone dry humour". But its director thinks that despite the strangeness of the volcanic surroundings and of the story itself, what really draws audiences is a more familiar theme.
"There's a sense of loneliness and isolation that you can get even if you live in the middle of a town," he says. "The conflict between the brothers affects everyone, no matter where they live, because everyone has conflicts within close family. The story is universal."
Rams is released in the UK on 5 February.
The Turkish leader met US President Donald Trump for talks on Tuesday.
Hours after the meeting, around two dozen protesters gathered outside the ambassador's residence and traded insults with Mr Erdogan's supporters.
Video footage from the scene shows several people with bloody injuries.
Some US reports claim President Erdogan's protection officers were drawn into the fracas after he arrived to visit the ambassador.
Demonstrator Flint Arthur, from Baltimore, told CNN: "We are protesting [Mr Erdogan's] policies in Turkey, in Syria and in Iraq.
"They think they can engage in the same sort of suppression of protest and free speech that they engage in in Turkey.
"They stopped us for a few minutes ... but we still stayed and continued to protest Erdogan's tyrannical regime."
He accused the pro-Erdogan group of breaching police lines and attacking protesters at least three times.
Police intervened to end the violence, and the injured were taken to George Washington University Hospital.
The Turkish president's visit to Washington has raised eyebrows in some quarters, with opponents citing his use of mass arrests to silence dissent.
After their meeting, Presidents Trump and Erdogan told a joint press conference they had pledged to strengthen bilateral relations.
"We've had a great relationship and we will make it even better," Mr Trump said. "We look forward to having very strong and solid discussions."
However, Mr Erdogan reiterated that he will never accept a US alliance with Kurdish forces fighting in Syria.
"There is no place for terrorist organisations in the future of our region," he told journalists.
The US decided to arm the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia earlier this month.
Mr Erdogan also said he had pressed the US to extradite cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom he blames for the failed coup against him last July.
Mr Gulen has denied the accusation.
The University and College Union (UCU) said 292 members at the Guildford-based institution were being balloted on a possible strike later this term.
The university announced last month that 75 academic posts and 25 other roles were to be cut from September.
It said it was disappointed the ballot was being held while consultations were still being held with staff.
UCU said the job losses affected politics, Surrey Business School, arts and music, electronic engineering, bioscience and computing.
"Any type of industrial action is always a last resort, especially for hard-working academics who care deeply about their students," said UCU spokesman Michael Moran.
"Staff and students are united in their opposition to the university's heavy-handed approach.
"We hope the university will now work with us to resolve the issue before any industrial action becomes necessary."
The university has said it will not close any departments or courses.
Spokesman Paul Stephenson said Surrey wanted to ensure it remained a leading UK university with a financially sustainable future.
"We are consulting widely with staff and the trade unions about the proposed changes," he said.
"As part of this, we are actively seeking ways to avoid any compulsory redundancies.
"While we recognise that it is UCU national policy to oppose compulsory redundancies, we are disappointed that UCU has decided to hold its ballot now given that consultation on the proposed changes will not be closing until 8 May, with final proposals set out later in May."
The strike ballot runs until 30 April.
The Wales flanker, 28, led the Lions in Australia in 2013 and is the favourite to resume the role this summer.
"All fingers point to Sam Warburton," O'Driscoll told BBC Radio 5 live's Rugby Union Weekly Podcast.
"[Lions head coach Warren] Gatland is a big fan, he knows what sort of captain he is. He's going to be the man."
O'Driscoll, who toured with the Lions four times, added: "The experience of doing it once before, and how he is currently playing and the high esteem he is held in, I think they all feature heavily in him being another good selection.
"Seven [openside flanker] is one of the more open positions, and I think Warburton will fit in brilliantly there."
O'Driscoll feels Warburton is now best-placed to lead the touring party ahead of Wales captain in Alun Wyn Jones, who is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury.
"Sam is the kind of character that if he wasn't selected for the Tests he wouldn't throw the toys out of the cot," O'Driscoll said.
"You look at that, married with Alun Wyn being out for a couple of weeks now, I don't know if you can guarantee him a Test spot.
"I would have him in my Test team, but I don't know if Gats feels he can guarantee him a Test spot."
O'Driscoll also feels the form of Irish provinces Leinster and Munster - who have reached the Champions Cup semi-finals - could see some of their players sneak into contention.
"No-one has mentioned [Munster second row] Donnacha Ryan as a possible bolter," he said. "He could do a brilliant job for the Lions as a midweek player.
"I wouldn't be shocked to find him on the tour. He is the kind of guy you want in the trenches."
O'Driscoll also believes Leinster flanker Sean O'Brien is in the frame.
"He was the seven four years ago when [the Lions] smashed Australia, and Warren Gatland will remember that and knows what he can deliver.
"He has given himself every opportunity."
Gatland will confirm his squad on 19 April with the first game of the tour on 3 June.

The pair, who played together for both the Crusaders and New Zealand, will be in opposition in Sunday's European Champions Cup semi-final.
Carter, 34, will line up for French side Racing 92 at the City Ground if he recovers from a leg injury.
"When he's on top of his game, as we saw at the World Cup, there's probably no better," said Mauger.
"He's a fantastic footy player," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "He's pretty resilient, he's always worked very hard to be the best that he can be and that's why he has been one of the best the game has ever seen.
"He's a pretty complete footballer, but we'll be looking to test those skills this weekend."
Mauger feels Carter's game has developed over the past decade, due in part to a run of injuries that left him questioning his future in the sport.
However, Carter returned to spearhead the All Blacks to a second successive World Cup victory last autumn.
"Like any player, he's evolved," added former centre Mauger. "He's had to re-package himself over the years, especially with injuries, but I think he's come back a better player.
"I know the All Blacks have put a lot of time into keeping him in the game, because there were some dark times when he was thinking about throwing it in."
Carter retired from international rugby following last year's World Cup win and moved to Paris for a fresh playing challenge.
Mauger departed New Zealand too, leaving his role as an assistant coach at the Crusaders last summer to return to the Tigers, where he spent three seasons as a player from 2007 to 2010.
"That's the beauty of our game," Mauger said. "Rugby gives us the opportunity to get around the world and try and test ourselves in different environments.
"You probably wouldn't have picked it 10 years ago when we were playing for the Crusaders and the All Blacks.
"But it shows how small the rugby world is. An opportunity comes, you take it, and here we are."
Leicester, who are fourth in the Premiership and look set to secure a play-off place after winning at East Midlands rivals Northampton on Saturday, have not reached a European final since 2009.
But after topping their pool and thrashing Stade Francais in the quarter-finals, Mauger feels reaching the Champions Cup final at the Grand Stade de Lyon on 14 May is overdue.
"There has been a massive amount of growth in our game to get where we are now," added Mauger. "We are pretty well placed to go out and perform on Sunday.
"We are in a space now where our skill-sets have grown, our decision-making on the field has grown, and we have a group who are confident in what we are doing, which is exciting."
Hear more from Aaron Mauger on 5 live Rugby on Thursday from 20.30 BST. England head coach Eddie Jones will also be one of the studio guests.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the agriculture department will lead the effort, which includes $8m (£4.7m) for new honey bee habitats.
Bee populations saw a 23% decline last winter, a trend blamed on the loss of genetic diversity, exposure to certain pesticides and other factors.
A quarter of the food Americans eat, including apples, carrots and avocados, relies on pollination.
Honey bees add more than $15bn in value to US agricultural crops, according to the White House.
The decline in bee populations is also blamed on the loss of natural forage and inadequate diets, mite infestations and diseases.
There has also been an increase in a condition called colony collapse disorder (CCD) in which there is a rapid, unexpected and catastrophic loss of bees in a hive.
But other North American pollinators, like the monarch butterfly, have seen decreases in their populations as well.
Some environmental groups have criticised the president for not acting more directly, including taking action against neonicotinoids, a class of pesticides linked to bee deaths.
"The administration should prevent the release and use of these toxic pesticides until determined safe," Friends of the Earth president Erich Pica told Reuters.
In the plan announced on Friday, Mr Obama directed the EPA and the agriculture department to lead a government-wide task force to develop a strategy within six months to fight bee and other pollinator declines.
Also announced on Friday was funding for farmers and ranchers in five states - Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin - who establish new habitats for honey bee populations.
This is something that has happened pretty much every year - for the last 18 years.
Indonesia's forest fires and the resulting haze have caused havoc and headlines across Asia, which has put the government there under pressure to put the fires out.
That might explain why Indonesian police are on a roll. On Monday they've named another 12 companies as suspects in starting the forest fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan.
But while Indonesia's police chief Badrodin Haiti was unwilling to tell the BBC who the companies are, he was happy to stress that two of them are from Malaysia and China and that another one under investigation is from Singapore.
Pointing the finger outside of Indonesia can be useful especially at a time when the government there is under pressure to show that's it's serious about stopping the haze.
In an exclusive interview with me last month, Indonesian President Joko Widodo said that the haze was a problem that would take a long time to solve.
He said that it might take as long as three years before it was completely under control.
Since then he's changed his tune and has accepted regional assistance after weeks of refusing the offers from his counterparts in Malaysia, Singapore and Australia.
The police's announcements that they're clamping down on companies responsible will also no doubt be seen as a sign that Indonesia is trying to be a responsible neighbour.
But environmental activists say that although these companies have been charged with breaking several laws - including Indonesia's environmental law, which carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years and a fine of $8m - none of that makes a difference unless authorities actually start enforcing the law.
Yuyun Indradi, a political forest campaigner with Greenpeace based in Jakarta told me that out of the 40 or so companies that have been named as suspects for starting the fires so far only one case has ever been brought to court.
He added that if Indonesia really wants to stop the forest fires, it must revoke the permits of companies found guilty.
This is a problem that affects Indonesia every year. But scientists say this year is shaping up to be the worst on record since 1997.
The last time this part of Asia was hit by a major haze crisis it cost the region an estimated $9bn due to losses from cancelled flights, agricultural damage, tourism and healthcare costs.
This time, some economists estimate it could cost the region more than twice that.

The explosion happened in the early hours of Monday at the post office in Long Ashton, near Bristol.
Avon and Somerset Police said three people were arrested and are being held on suspicion of causing an explosion with intent to endanger life.
"Cash was taken but it is not yet known how much," a spokesman said. "Anyone who was in the area at about 03:30 GMT is asked to call police," he added.
Now a group of musicians is helping bring a tune back to even the most battered of violins and sending them to children over 5,000 miles away.
Between breaks for recording soundtracks for iconic shows including Dr Who and Sherlock, four musicians from the BBC National Orchestra for Wales (NOW) are lovingly repairing hundreds of instruments to send to Patagonia in time for Christmas.
The two percussionists, one trumpeter and a cellist, were spurred to action after seeing children learning on toy instruments during the orchestra's first visit to Argentina's Welsh-speaking community last year.
The project is the brainchild of lead percussionist Chris Stock, who said a lot of the schools made their own, with children hitting makeshift bongos made from pipes and carrier bags.
"In the youth orchestra there weren't any timps," added trumpet player Rob Samuel, who was shocked by the lack of instruments.
"When we asked why, they said there weren't any timps in the whole of the Chubut Province area - they were playing on toy glockenspiels and things like that.
"That's like learning on a plastic trumpet."
What started as an idea during the orchestra's tour to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the arrival of a community of Welsh settlers in Patagonia, is now slowly becoming a reality for the team.
Folk harps - small harps with pedals - three pairs of timpani, a flute, clarinet, French horn, guitars, 200 violins, and even a bassoon, in all different states of repair have been dug out of cupboards and donated from across Wales.
Even the most battered fiddle is put to use, with the team breaking up the bodies of violins to use for parts. Others are sold to a local artist to raise cash to buy new instruments.
Cellist Rachel Ford said: "We are making use of anything that comes in.
"We will find a way of making it useful, but we don't want to send tatty stuff out to the students. We want to send them good instruments to learn on."
On Saturday the first instrument, a bright red violin, will be taken from Cardiff to Trevelin by former weather presenter Sian Lloyd.
Won at a raffle by Shelia Hobbs from Penarth, the violin has become the symbol of a project which the team hopes will bring music to thousands of young people both in Patagonia and Wales.
They hope the violin will be the first of hundreds of refurbished instruments to head across the waters for a new life - with others remaining in Wales to help children in cash-strapped schools.
Ms Hobbs, who won the violin at a festival in Cardiff and has been playing it as a folk performer, said knowing her violin was heading to such a project was a "marvellous way" to end her years with the instrument.
One school has asked for a piano, as there are none nearby, but the musicians are under no illusion they can fly one over.
Another is struggling to meet demand with 43 children waiting to learn the violin with just a handful to share between them.
Chris said the situation was hard to imagine when there were so many pianos in living rooms across Wales which are "never played".
"You're missing out on something, a whole part of your life," percussionist Phil Girling added, explaining it is hard for players to even buy reeds for clarinets in Patagonia.
"Not being able to experience that sort of thing in an early age is like not being able to access the internet or not being able to go to the library to get a book."
While the team have large ambitions, the reality of transporting such a large and precious load so far is starting to set in.
So far, six flight cases filled with all kinds of instruments have been donated - some from musicians' storerooms, others from music shops, while some have simply been pulled out of attics.
But flying all the instruments could cost about £1,300 - which would have to be funded out of the musicians' own pockets and the project has already hit delays.
The team are now hoping to ship the instruments out before Christmas but are waiting to get charity status to make sure there are no issues along the way.
They learned that lesson the hard way, when a case of harps donated from north Wales for the orchestra to take with them got stuck in customs for seven months last year.
The two new franchises will join eight existing WBBL teams when the league begins again in October.
Basketball Scotland will be based in Edinburgh, with Oaklands Wolves at Oaklands College in Hertfordshire.
The WBBL has also confirmed that Brixton Topcats have opted to withdraw from the 2016-17 league.
Basketball Scotland's chief executive officer Kevin Pringle said the team will help form a "key part" of Scotland's preparation for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
"The programme will be led by a core of Scottish players and supplemented with additional talent to make sure the Scottish athletes are pushed every day," he added.
Oaklands Wolves, who will play at the home of the England Junior national teams, aim to bring a "young and fast-paced style" to the league according to Michael Ball, the team's director of basketball.
He said: "We are trying to produce the next generation of international players from within the basketball academy, and we are going to try to add GB international players."
The Western Health and Social Care Trust has confirmed that services were underfunded by up to £8m in "the last couple of years".
A meeting organised by the Western Learning Disability Action Group was held in Londonderry on Tuesday night.
Families and carers have said they now want answers.
Mary Gilbraith, who was at Tuesday's meeting, said they had been raising the issue of underfunding for years.
"We have a residential home in Strabane which houses 12 people and is absolutely full, we've no respite at all.
"We've been calling for these things for years and there's never been the money to do it.
"There are a lot of those parents who have difficulties and by letting them go into respite it means they're able to stay at home for longer.
"It really prepares them for whenever you're no longer there."
Sinn Féin MLA Raymond McCartney said Mr McGuinness will press the new health minister on the issue.
"There is quite rightly a great deal of shock and anger at the underfunding revelations and that was clearly demonstrated at the public meeting which took place in the city on Tuesday," said Mr McCartney.
"It is entirely unacceptable that funds which are earmarked for vulnerable people are not being properly utilised.
"It is particularly galling if that is the case at a time when budgets are under increasing pressure."
In a statement the Western Trust said: "Over the past couple of years the extent of a deficit in investment in learning disability services in the Western Trust has been confirmed by both the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority and the Health and Social Care Board.
"The deficit has been quantified as £8m. Since this was confirmed the Western Trust has worked with the commissioner of services at the board to address this issue."
The statement adds that £2.3m of additional investment has been received by disability services for this financial year.
Every day come rain or shine the pupils aged from three to 11 run or walk a mile around the school playground. The idea is quite simple - to get the children outside and exercising with their friends.
The teachers at the school in Caerphilly county say all the children enjoy their daily walk or run.
It is having a big impact on their health and fitness but also some unexpected benefits for the children's concentration levels and even their behaviour in class.
Bethan George, Fochriw's healthy schools leader says all the teachers have noticed a difference.
"We have seen that the children are much more focussed in the afternoon after doing the Daily Mile, also the children's behaviour is very positive in the afternoon.
"The children are much more focused and motivated for the last session of the afternoon when we do it. The Daily Mile has made a big difference, most definitely."
The Daily Mile began life five years ago at Stirling in Scotland. Primary school head teacher Elaine Wyllie was concerned about her pupils' lack of fitness and she decided to ask the children to walk or run a mile every day.
"The Daily Mile began with a one-month trial and overnight the results were startling," she said.
"While many children could not initially manage the one-mile run, within four weeks almost everyone was able to and, just as importantly, the children enjoyed it."
Ms Wyllie has retired from teaching and devotes her time to spreading the Daily Mile message to schools across the UK - and now it is being picked up by schools here in Wales.
Chairman of the governors at Fochriw Primary School Samantha Harwood said parents were initially worried about their children taking part in the Daily Mile. Some were concerned it might be too much for the smallest children.
"I'm a parent with children in the Foundation Phase and we were a little bit worried - were they going to be too tired? Are they too young to be doing that?"
She said everyone was now on board and could see the difference it was making.
Parent Gemma Hughes has two children at the school - both girls suffer from asthma. She says the Daily Mile has helped her daughters.
"It keeps them fit and healthy, it's really good for them. It's good that the school offers something like this for them."
Dad Gareth Howells said: "It's brilliant for them, it's exercise, it keeps them active and they really enjoy it."
Daily Mile Cymru has been launched and with more and more schools across Wales taking part, in time the daily mile could become as important a part of the school day as maths and English.
The Mighty Boosh star told the Sunday Times he "can't put on weight" because he gets more work when he is thinner.
Meanwhile, healthy food campaigner Prue Leith, who takes over from Mary Berry on the show, insists "baking is the best way to get people into cooking".
The latest series returns this autumn on Channel 4 after it outbid the BBC.
Fielding, who joins Leith in the show's new line-up, told The Sunday Times Magazine: "Sugar is a powerful thing".
The comedian explained that he recently lost a stone to play the singer Alice Cooper: "I get more work when I'm thinner, so I can't put on weight.
"I don't eat anything, I'm like a plant."
He added: "It's not that I don't like cake, I have a very sweet tooth."
The BBC lost the contract to broadcast Bake Off last year after Love Productions, the makers of the show, signed a three-year deal with Channel 4. It is understood the channel offered £25m for the rights, in contrast to the £15m offered by the BBC.
Paul Hollywood is the only original member of the BBC line-up to appear on the new series, describing the new C4 line-up - Fielding, Leith and QI host Sandi Toksvig - as a "dysfunctional family".
Fielding and Toksvig were announced as Bake Off's new presenters in March, after previous hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc announced they "were not going with the dough" when the show switched channels.
The pair had presented all seven series of the show - since its launch in 2010 - alongside judges Berry and Hollywood.
Similarly Berry also announced she would not remain with the show on Channel 4, citing "loyalty" to the BBC.
Restaurateur and broadcaster Leith - renowned for her no-nonsense attitude as a judge on The Great British Menu - was subsequently announced as Berry's replacement.
Asked if the show, with its abundance of cakes and biscuits, fitted with her healthy eating ideals, Leith told the Sunday Times: "I really thought twice about accepting Bake Off... but I reasoned that, actually, baking is the best way to get people into general cooking."
"And that's what we need the nation to do: to get interested in the kitchen."
"Even if you don't allow yourself to eat too much cake, you still like drooling over it."
Bake Off became a huge ratings hits for BBC One, pulling in record-breaking viewing figures. The final BBC episode, broadcast last October, saw an average of 14 million people tune in to see PE teacher Candice Brown crowned the victor.
Yet, in the same interview, Fielding intimated that co-host Toksvig, had never previously watched Bake Off.
Asked what her favourite episode was, Toksvig said: "The one where they make cake? I don't watch a lot of television, I'm more of a reader." | A London property company has bought a retail outlet in County Tyrone, which had been for sale for £5m after being repossessed by the Irish government's 'bad bank'.

The newspaper says Mr Cosby made the deposition 10 years ago. A lawsuit was lodged by a former university worker in Philadelphia who claimed he drugged and molested her.
Mr Cosby, now 78, is facing a series of sexual assault accusations.
He has denied the claims.
Court papers unsealed earlier this month showed that he admitted giving drugs to women with the aim of having sex with them.
The New York Times says it has obtained the deposition on which those court papers were based, in which more details are given.
Mr Cosby was questioned for four days in 2005 and 2006 in a Philadelphia hotel, and the deposition of close to 1,000 pages was formed.
The case was brought by Andrea Constand, a former employee of Temple University - the Philadelphia college with which Mr Cosby was once closely associated.
After Mr Cosby intiated what he called a mentoring relationship, Ms Constand says he then gave her a powerful drug and molested her.
Mr Cosby says he gave her only the over-the-counter antihistamine drug Benadryl.
After Ms Constand became upset and returned to her native Canada, Mr Cosby offered to pay for her further education.
"My wife would not know it was because Andrea and I had had sex and that Andrea was now very, very upset and that she decided that she would like to go to school," the New York Times quotes Mr Cosby as saying in the deposition.
He is also reported as saying he was skilled in reading women's reactions: "I think I'm a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them."
Mr Cosby also admits paying another woman he met in 1976 and to obtaining sedatives with the aim of giving them to women to have sex with him.
And, still in the deposition, he says he asked a model about the cancer her late father suffered with the purpose of having sex with her.
Best known as Dr Cliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show in 1984-92, the comedian is facing a number of allegations dating back to the 1960s.
Most of the claims of sexual assault are barred by statutes of limitations. They restrict the length of time in which legal actions can be taken after an alleged crime has been committed.
The accusations, which Mr Cosby has described as "fantastical" and "uncorroborated", have led to some of his stand-up shows being called off and the cancellation of some TV projects.
Jason Walsh, from Limavady, died shortly before 18:15 BST on Thursday after being struck on the Glenhead Road.
The crash happened between Ballynarrig Road and Baranailt Road.
A 41-year-old man was arrested but later released on bail pending further enquiries.
Leader David Hodge said unless it got more money from government it could not afford to guarantee places from 2015.
He said the current shortfall would mean borrowing £200m over five years.
The Department for Education (DoE) said Surrey will have received £104m for new places between 2011-2015.
Mr Hodge made his announcement just before authorities across England found how much money they would get from the government to spend on local services next year.
He said: "We are facing a crisis with rising demand for places and regrettably the government - despite repeated requests - has failed to guarantee it will provide us with the necessary funding to meet this need.
"So far, in the absence of a fair funding settlement for the 13,000 extra school places we need over the next five years we have been forced to borrow tens of millions of pounds to fund this expansion.
"That cannot continue. It would leave us with having to borrow well over £200m on behalf of the Surrey taxpayer. Money which would not be paid off for forty years."
It would seem that the frustration has finally boiled over.
This is not the first time that David Hodge has expressed concern about the lack of school places in Surrey.
In October he said that, although the county council had found a place for every child this year, they had "made it by the skin of our teeth".
The problem has been getting worse, largely due to an unanticipated rise in the birth rate in Surrey over the past decade.
Opposition councillors have criticised "failures' in forecasting" and the planning for schools.
The Conservatives who control the authority have been getting more and more frustrated over what they see as a lack of funding from the government.
They argue that Surrey contributes more in tax than any region outside the City of London, but gets less money each year than the average county council.
Mr Hodge previously said that in September 2014 the council managed to provide an additional 4,100 spaces by "the skin of its teeth".
A DoE spokesman said: "We are giving Surrey County Council £104m from 2011-2015 to spend on new places - compared to just £24m by the previous government over an equivalent period."
Surrey County Council was also receiving a further £60million to spend on new school places in 2015-17, according to the government.
The spokesman said two free schools had been opened in the county, with another one also due in September, which would provide more than 1,800 extra places.
Sylvester Koroma was hit in the stomach in Birmingham in August 2013 and died in hospital a week later.
Police said his friends had "deserted him in his death".
Appealing for people to come forward and speak to West Midlands Police, his mother, Eunice Koroma, said the last year had been "hell".
Mr Koroma, a father-of-two from the Highfields area, travelled to Birmingham with friends on 10 August last year.
The nightclub had been hosting an event called Circoloco, attended by 4,000 people. The second day was cancelled after the shooting.
Ms Koroma said it had been heartbreaking not knowing who killed her son.
"All of us miss him greatly, especially his sons," she said.
"It's one year on now so I would ask for people to search their hearts, and if they have a conscience, to do the right thing and speak to the police."
Officers previously said they still had no motive for Mr Koroma's death.
Det Ch Insp Sab Johal, from West Midlands Police, said Mr Koroma had been "deserted" by his closest friends.
They had declined to give witness statements to police on the night but he said officers would keep returning to Leicester until they had answers.
"This investigation is not going to go away," he said. "People who know the answers are from this city, and it is those people, who were happy to be with him in his life that have deserted him in his death."
Billy Monger, 17, was airlifted to hospital after crashing with another car on the track mid-race on 16 April.
From hospital, he posted on Facebook that Bonny "gave me the will to keep fighting" and thanked everyone for their "love and generosity".
A campaign to raise money for his future has raised more than £750,000.
Billy, from Charlwood in Surrey, wrote the support he had received from fellow motor racers, fans, and everyone has been "awesome and truly inspirational".
"Your kind words have given me and my family the strength to get through this past week," he posted from the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
The Formula 4 driver also said that without emergency crews at the Leicestershire track and medical staff "I wouldn't be here today".
"I will always thank you all for saving my life," he said.
"The one true hero of this tragic event has been my sister, Bonny who gave me the will to keep fighting.
"A value that I will continue to hold now... and for the rest of my life."
The Just Giving page was set up by Steven Hunter, head of Billy's team Derbyshire-based JHR Developments, to help the 17-year-old "return to a full and active life".
The donations came in swiftly, including one from Formula 1 driver Jenson Button and F1 driver Max Verstappen, who both donated £15,000.
Billy's F4 former rival Devlin DeFrancesco made a donation of £26,000.
Hundreds of people have sent messages of support to the teenager and a hashtag, #billywhizz, has been widely shared on social media.
Billy was competing in the Formula 4 British Championship, a motor racing series which features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers.

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

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
Thefts in the last four years include a racing bike worth £1,000, cash, mobile phones, drugs, even uniforms.
The eclectic list was revealed following a Freedom of Information request from the BBC.
The biggest single theft took place in Antrim's Caulside Park in November 2012.
In that incident, more than 30 pieces of equipment were stolen from a car belonging to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
Officers were responding to a report of a theft when the kit bags were stolen.
The bags contained items of uniform, such as high visibility jackets and police issue boots, as well as equipment including fixed penalty notice books, evidence bags and name badges.
A few months after the theft, workmen in the area discovered the kit bags, which had been discarded by thieves, and handed them back to police.
Among the more unusual items stolen between 2011 and 2015 were:
* A police bike speedometer worth £60, Ballymena
* £73 in white hand towels, Lisburn
* An £80 spanner and socket, Kilkeel
* A PSNI car wing mirror, Belfast
* Copper piping, Portstewart
* Cannabis, Musgrave Street, Belfast
* Police long service medals, Coleraine
* Six cigars worth £150, Strand Road, Londonderry
Police said not all of the stolen property belonged to the PSNI.
In a statement to the BBC, it added: "A relatively small number of incidents of theft have been reported at police establishments and from police vehicles over the past four years.
"All such reports are fully investigated."
Michele Pennisi, a vocal mafia critic, has his diocese in Monreale, near Palermo.
He said he wanted to challenge the idea that crime bosses have a paternal side.
"The mafia has always taken the term godfather from the Church to give its bosses an air of religious respectability," he told AFP.
"Whereas in fact, the two worlds are completely incompatible."
Archbishop Pennisi's diocese includes the notorious village of Corleone, a vendetta-torn enclave made famous by Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather.
The cleric last made headlines in February by condemning a Corleone priest's decision to let the son of an infamous mobster, Toto Riina, become his niece's godfather.
The row gave rise to his latest decree, which bans anyone convicted of "dishonorable crimes" from acting as a godparent.
Archbishop Pennisi admits that the mafia culture of "omerta" - the law of silence - will make the ruling harder to enforce.
"If someone has not been convicted we cannot judge people on rumours, without proof," he said.
He added that the path to reformation is open for mobsters, as for others.
"If one of them admits to having done wrong, asks to be pardoned for the bad they have done - in that case we can discuss a path of conversion," he said.
The archbishop had faced death threats in 2008 after he refused to allow Crocefisso Emanuello, the head of a mafia family, a religious funeral.
He was granted police protection as a result.
Pope Francis took a stand against organised crime in 2014 by excommunicating all mafiosi - meaning they are banished in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church.
"Those who in their lives follow this path of evil, as mafiosi do, are not in communion with God," he said.
The result almost certainly ended their League One play-off hopes with the club 10 points off sixth place with five games left to play.
"No-one should accept that display," Page told BBC Radio Stoke.
"It was an embarrassing second-half performance and it will be addressed."
Despite admitting their chances of finishing in the top six were slim, Page was optimistic at the Proact Stadium with his side leading 1-0 at half-time.
But he was left livid by what happened after the break.
"I told them at half-time to go and finish them off but to expect them to start fast and do not concede early. It went in one ear and out the other," Page said.
"After a minute, it's one-all. They are four of the worst goals I've ever seen. They haven't had to worked hard to score them, they're errors.
"It was comical - a comedy of errors - and I can't accept that."
With Vale's promotion hopes looking over for another season, their fans could take some comfort from the role they could play in the plight of their local rivals Crewe Alexandra.
Vale would relegate the Alex if they beat them at Vale Park on Saturday, Fleetwood Town win against Peterborough and Blackpool get at least a point at home to Colchester.
London student Erol Incedal was found not guilty in March last year of preparing for acts of terrorism.
Senior judges said it was right that the full details of the Old Bailey case remained secret.
The BBC and other media organisations challenged the reporting restrictions imposed by the trial judge.
Only 10 of the almost 70 hours of evidence were heard in open court.
Specially accredited journalists were allowed to hear some of the secret evidence in locked sessions, but they were banned from telling others what they had seen or heard, and their notebooks were retained by the court.
More than a third of the prosecution case was held in complete secrecy with the jury told they could face jail if they ever revealed what they had heard.
In their ruling, Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas and two other senior judges said there was a strong public interest in allowing reports about counter-terrorism police and the security services provided it does not "materially compromise the effectiveness of their role or otherwise might damage national security".
They added that "departure from the principles of open justice was strictly necessary" in this case but accepted another application may be made in future "at a time when it is said that there could no longer be any reason to keep the information from the public".
The trial we couldn't report (March 2015)
As one of only 10 journalists who were allowed to sit in on the two "secret trials" of Erol Incedal, I learned a great deal.
But as I was barred from repeating a word of what was said behind those closed doors, it was a dubious privilege.
For the journalists having to place our mobile phones in a metal case every time we entered court, and having to hand over our notebooks to be locked up in a safe at the end of every day, it was both time consuming and embarrassing.
Most frustrating was that the public were able to be told so little about the defendant's responses to the serious allegations.
This lack of balance troubled me, but I was banned by order of the court from discussing the defendant's case with anyone.
I fear the reasons for his acquittal on the main charge of preparing for acts of terrorism will remain a secret of the state and all my notes will remain locked up - or even be destroyed.
Incedal, who is in his mid-20s, faced two trials in relation to allegations he was involved in some form of terrorism that appeared to be related to Syria.
At the end of the first trial in 2014, he was convicted of possessing bomb-making plans and was later jailed for 42 months for that offence.
But the jury could not reach a verdict on an allegation he was involved in actual preparations for terrorism. He was cleared at the second trial.
During the small amount of evidence heard in open court, prosecutors alleged Incedal had been in contact with a British jihadist in Syria, held the details of an address linked to Tony and Cherie Blair and discussed - in code - gun attacks.
Prosecutors said a "person of significance" could have been the target of an alleged plan - but at no point did they explicitly link that in open court to the Blairs.
After a first half of few chances, Josh Gowling was adjudged to have brought down Simeon Akinola in the box and Iron captain Davis slotted in from the spot.
Mariners forward Padraig Amond was then denied from close range by both keeper Tom King and defender Matt Fry.
The Iron held on to take a lead into Sunday's second leg at Cressing Road.
Part-timers Braintree, who finished third in the table and have never been in the Football League before, withstood pressure from their hosts in the second half.
Danny Cowley's side survived a penalty shout against them when Amond collided with Mark Phillips in the area.
That incident came soon after Davis had sent James McKeown the wrong way from the spot at the other end, referee John Brooks having ruled that Akinola's fine run had been halted illegally just inside the area.
The closest Grimsby came to an equaliser was through Amond, whose turn and shot from a corner was kept out by a fine reflex save by King.
Fry then deflected an effort over the bar when Amond looked certain to score for the Mariners, who have been outside of the Football League since 2010.
But Braintree, managed by a PE teacher, stifled many of the home attacks to defeat Grimsby by the same scoreline as in April.
They say a new national funding formula, which should give underfunded schools more cash, ignores inflationary cost pressures faced by all schools.
The heads come from 14 local council areas and represent 1.5 million pupils.
The letter comes as the government's consultation period for the new school funding formula closes on Wednesday.
The letter has been signed by primary, secondary and special school heads from a number of counties in England including West Sussex, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Devon and Cornwall.
The letter says the new funding formula does not offer "meaningful solutions" to current and future school finances and "attempts to ignore inflationary cost pressures that all schools are enduring".
"School leaders simply want a reasonable settlement that sees every child in every school adequately funded," it says.
The Department for Education said school spending was at record levels, but that the system for distributing that money was "unfair, opaque and outdated".
A DfE spokeswoman said: "We are going to end the historic postcode lottery in school funding and, under the proposed national schools funding formula, more than half of England's schools will receive a cash boost.
"We are consulting schools, governors, local authorities and parents to make sure we get this formula right, so that every pound of the investment we make in education has the greatest impact.
"We recognise that schools are facing cost pressures, which is why we will continue to provide support to help them use their funding in cost-effective ways, including improving the way they buy goods and services."
Jules White, head teacher of Tanbridge House School in Horsham, West Sussex, has mobilised the campaign.
He told the BBC he had expected to be better off under the new funding arrangements, but has had a nasty shock.
"I was told I'd get £180,000 more with the new formula - which was very welcome.
"But then when I saw what I have to pay out from September - National Insurance costs, teachers' pay and running costs of the school, I found I'd be spending £220,000.
"So even with a new deal for the school - we'll be £40,000 worse off."
Mr White said school leaders cared deeply about their students and their families and were reluctant to speak out, but the fact that they were doing so showed the gravity of the situation.
"Why would we be doing this if it wasn't true? Why would I be telling you... that things are this bad unless I had to? And they are so bad, we're not sure we can cope going forward."
The head teachers' letter is also critical of the government's push to open more grammar and free schools in England.
It says: "To make matters worse - far worse - the Department for Education continues to divert significant monies to capital and revenue funding such as free school provision and grammar school expansion.
"At the same time, our schools simply do not have adequate funds to provide the education that every child in our care needs and deserves.
"To see such ill-judged spending being prioritised in a time of austerity is unacceptable.
"The disconnect between a department making decisions that seem to entirely ignore the wishes and needs of dedicated and committed school leaders provides significant and tangible cause for concern."
The consultation period on the funding formula ends on Wednesday, 22 March.
The proportion for Wales (26%) is still worse than the worst region for child obesity in England (24%).
A total of 32.4% of four and five-year-olds are overweight or obese on Anglesey. Merthyr (16.4%) is still top for obesity.
More than 30,000 children were weighed for the annual survey.
The study found the figure for Wales compared to 23% in England.
The gap between the most and least deprived areas is narrowing but Public Health Wales (PHW) admitted there was still "much to do".
Merthyr Tydfil (32%) still had the second highest proportion of overweight or obese four and five year-olds, while Cardiff had one of the lowest, with 22.6%.
The report compared for the first time problems in rural and urban areas but found little difference.
A pilot study of children in the Cwm Taf health board area found that more than a fifth of healthy four and five-year-olds went on to become overweight or obese by the time they were aged eight or nine.
It also found 82.5% of children classed as obese at that age were still the same as they got older.
Dr Julie Bishop, director of health improvement for PHW, said healthy lifestyles for pre-school children should be promoted across Wales.
"There are no specific figures, but certainly a trend we're concerned about is the relationship between the amount of screen time - on tablets, phones, game and computers - and obesity," she said.
"We need to see children out playing more and we know there are always parents concerns about safety but they need to be running around more. Projects run by the likes of Communities First and mother and toddler groups can be supportive in helping parents."
Chief medical officer for Wales, Dr Ruth Hussey, said it was good to see obesity levels had levelled off, but there was still much to do and young people were eating too much sugar.
"The NHS alone cannot tackle childhood obesity," she said. "There is much that parents can do to ensure their children have the best possible start in life.
"Research suggests that breastfeeding is linked to a reduced risk of obesity in children, and parents can access information and support on this from health visitors."
The latest figures for Scotland for 2013 found 26.5% of two to six-year-old children were at risk of being overweight or obese.
Belfast was one of six UK cities to host the Sport Relief flagship games, but swimathons and mile-long runs were held in other local towns and cities.
Custom House Square was the starting point for the Belfast Mile - those taking part could walk, jog or run it.
Olympian Dame Mary Peters and boxer Carl Frampton took part in the event.
Frampton ran part of the Belfast mile with his young daughter and speaking before it began he said: "It's good to get people out, being active and getting involved in sport.
"Obviously it helps raise money for a lot of worthwhile charities that need it, and what better way to do it? It's a great turnout here already, I'm looking forward to this."
Other events including a family cycle through the city and an aerobics workout in Custom House Square.
The deal will see 35bn euros go towards propping up the Irish banking system with the remaining 50bn euros to help the government's day-to-day spending.
An average interest rate of 5.8% will be payable on the loans, above the 5.2% paid by Greece for its bail-out.
Irish PM Brian Cowen said it was the "best available deal for Ireland".
It provides "vital time and space to successfully and conclusively address the problems we've been dealing with since the financial crisis began", the prime minister said.
Details of the 85bn euro plan include:
The Irish government has also said that interest payments on all state debt will account for more than 20% of tax revenues in 2014.
The deal does not require the Irish Republic to change its low 12.5% corporation tax.
The rescue package is the second to be approved in the eurozone this year following Greece's bail-out in May.
There had been much negotiating between European ministers over the interest rate the Irish Republic must pay on the loans.

Peston: What the UK is putting in
A report from Irish state broadcaster on Saturday suggested the rate would be set at 6.7%, and the BBC's business editor Robert Peston said that Germany had been pushing for a higher interest rate of about 7% so that any rescue loans would not look like cheap money.
The Irish government had believed it would pay 5%, and the agreed rate of 5.8% is still higher than many in Ireland had hoped for, especially as it is higher than the agreed rate for Greece.
But Mr Cowen said the loans were necessary.
"These loans will provide money that we had already planned to borrow on the international markets. That funding will now be available to Ireland at a cheaper interest rate than if we'd borrowed on those markets," he said.
The details of the IMF and EU bail-out were discussed at a meeting in Brussels.
Ministers had been keen to reach an outline agreement before the financial markets reopen on Monday.
The Irish government applied for aid last Sunday when it conceded the banking crisis was too big for the country.
Eurozone finance ministers' chairman Jean-Claude Juncker said ministers had "unanimously endorsed" the measures.
"Ministers concur with the [European] Commission and the European Central Bank that providing a loan to Ireland is warranted to safeguard financial stability in the euro area and in the European Union as a whole," Mr Juncker said.
The crisis in the Irish Republic has been brought on by the global recession and the almost total collapse of the country's debt-ridden banks.
The rescue programme rests on the Irish Republic meeting three conditions.
Firstly, it must immediately strengthen and overhaul its banking system.
Secondly, it must implement an ambitious fiscal adjustment to reduce its "excessive" deficit by 2015.
Finally, it must introduce growth-enhancing reforms in particular on the labour market.
The EU also agreed the outline of a new European Stability Mechanism for resolving debt crises in the eurozone.
The mechanism should force losses on private investors "only on a case by case basis", and will replace an existing rescue fund which runs out in 2013.
BBC business editor Robert Peston said UK Chancellor George Osborne believes he has won an important concession from other EU countries in return for providing a direct loan of 3.84bn euros (£3.2bn) to Ireland.
Mr Osborne has secured an agreement that the UK will not be part of the new rescue fund for eurozone countries to be launched in 2013, he said.
The announcement on the permanent mechanism may have been rushed through to try to allay concerns about the debt crisis in Europe spreading.
Earlier, French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office "categorically" denied that France was threatened by the crisis in the eurozone.
The comments came as concerns mount that Portugal may also need a bail-out, while fears over Spain, Italy and Belgium also increase.
The blast, shortly before 19:30 BST on Saturday, badly damaged the house in George Street, with 11 people inside.
Nearly 30 firefighters worked at scene in what South Wales Fire and Rescue Service called "difficult" conditions.
A Wales and West Utilities expert said the blast was linked to "internal gas pipework and not our network".
Gwent Police said the explosion caused "extensive damage" to the property and adjacent buildings.
People living in surrounding properties have been allowed back into their homes, but people living in three houses either side have not been.
Station commander Mark Watts, of South Wales fire service, said 11 people had been in the house at the time of the explosion and that three people had minor injuries and another had "life-threatening injuries".
A police spokeswoman added: "The incident, which is believed to have been caused by a gas explosion, is being treated as suspicious.
"No other persons are being sought in connection with this incident."
The fire service said nearby properties were evacuated due to safety concerns.
Specialist equipment, including airbags, were brought in to try to keep the property structurally safe while firefighters conducted a search and worked at the scene.
By 21:50 BST, all 11 occupants were accounted for, said a fire service spokeswoman.
The mains gas network and the supply of gas to other properties was not affected by the incident, said Wales and West Utilities.
The ex-chancellor said the unfolding tragedy in Aleppo had not "come out of a vacuum" but was due to "a vacuum of Western and British leadership".
Parliament had helped enable a "terrorist state" to emerge by voting against military intervention against the Assad regime in 2013, he said.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said Assad had been left "to do his worst".
Speaking in an emergency debate about the conflict in Aleppo, Mr Johnson said it would not be safe for the UK to try and drop aid into the city because air space was controlled by the Syrian government, its ally Russia and other combatants.
But he said the government was keeping up the diplomatic pressure on President Assad and Russia by pushing for tougher economic sanctions and "gathering the information necessary" for the prosecution of war crimes by combatants in Syria.
The UN has warned that Syrian pro-government forces have been entering homes in eastern Aleppo and killing those inside, including women and children, as they seize control of that part of the city after months of bitter fighting.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has written to Theresa May calling for a concerted effort to achieve a UN-led ceasefire and UN-brokered humanitarian corridors in Syria.
Mr Osborne - in one of his first Commons interventions since losing office - said Parliament must reflect on its own actions with regard to the five-year civil war in Syria.
In August 2013, Parliament rejected the government's case for possible intervention in response to the alleged use of chemical weapons by Syrian regime forces.
MPs voted 285-272 against the UK joining President Barack Obama's plan for US air strikes - which never came to pass because of political opposition in the US.
Mr Osborne recalled speaking from the backbenches ahead of the 2003 Iraq War and said he feared now that "it is impossible to intervene anywhere".
"The Syrian civil war has been waging since 2011 and therefore it is something that we could have foreseen and done something about," he said.
"I think we are deceiving ourselves in this Parliament if we believe that we have no responsibility for what has happened in Syria.
"The tragedy in Aleppo did not come out of a vacuum, it was created by a vacuum, a vacuum of Western leadership, of American leadership, British leadership."
But he said he had "some hope out of this terrible tragedy in Syria" that "we are beginning" to learn the "price of not intervening".
The price was that tens of thousands of people had been killed, millions of people had been forced from their homes and "we have allowed a terrorist state to emerge".
He added that key allies such as Lebanon and Jordan had been destabilised while the refugee crisis had allowed fascism to rise in Eastern Europe and created extremist parties in Western Europe and "for the first time since Henry Kissinger kicked them out of the Middle East in the 1970s, Russia is back as the decisive player in that region".
He added: "Let's be clear now, if you don't shape the world, you will be shaped by it."
Mr Osborne has previously described the decision not to intervene in 2013 as one of the worst decisions ever taken by Parliament.
In 2015, the Commons did sanction air strikes against militants from the so-called Islamic State group in Syria.
But SNP MP Tommy Shepherd said they had palpably failed in their stated objective of "cutting off the head [of IS], providing air support for 70,000 ground forces and being part of a co-ordinated military action which would enhance a military solution".
Speaking in Tuesday's debate, former Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell said the UK had been among nations ten years ago to sign up to the "responsibility to protect" doctrine to prevent humanitarian catastrophes of the like seen in Srebrenica and Rwanda.
"This responsibility to protect was signed up to at great fanfare and embraced by all the international community, great and small," he said.
"Yet here we are today witnessing, complicit, in what is happening to tens of thousands of Syrians in Aleppo."
Labour MP Ben Bradshaw likened Mr Johnson to Conservative foreign secretaries of the early 1990s who he said had refused to intervene in the Balkans to combat Serbian aggression and the "genocide" that resulted, asking him "what are you doing?"
Mr Johnson rejected the comparison and said there was only so much the UK could do in Syria after ruling out military engagement in 2013.
"Ever since that vote, our ability to influence events in Syria or to protect civilians or compel the delivery of aid has been severely limited," he said.
"The dictator was allowed to do his worst, along with his allies Russia and Iran."
Matthew Nicklin QC told the High Court hacking was "unlawful and wrong" but none of the victims in the case claimed their lives had been "ruined".
The firm has admitted publishing more than 100 stories based on hacking the victims' voicemails from 1999 to 2009.
The court will decide on damages to be paid to victims including ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne and actor Shane Ritchie.
The other six claimants are BBC creative director Alan Yentob, actress Sadie Frost, soap stars Shobna Gulati and Lucy Taggart, TV producer Robert Ashworth and flight attendant Lauren Alcorn.
Mr Nicklin said hacking was an "unwarranted and unacceptable intrusion into people's private lives and it shouldn't have happened".
He did not suggest what damages should be paid, but said none of the claimants had their ability to work impaired or needed psychiatric care as a result.
"While they may be upset and even angry", he said, "not one of them has claimed - nor could they - that their lives have been ruined".
The case was adjourned until Wednesday.
The judge, Mr Justice Mann, is expected to take several weeks to assess the damages.
His decision on damages will influence the outcome of around 100 more hacking cases against the company which have been filed so far.
The 39-year-old Romanian national was detained in Lurgan on Wednesday by Gangmaster Licensing Authority officers assisted by the PSNI.
The arrest is part of ongoing investigations into unlicensed labour provision on fruit farms in the county.
He has been released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service.
In a statement, the authority said: "He is suspected of supplying workers to pick apples and other fruit without a licence at various locations in the area - activities that require a GLA licence.
"Providing workers for roles in agriculture, horticulture and food processing and packaging without a GLA licence is a criminal offence that carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison," the statement added.
The footage, posted on Sunday, caused outrage online. It shows the young men laughing while assaulting the woman.
Arrests were made in the city of Casablanca on Monday, the public transport company M'Dina Bus said in a statement (in French).
An investigation was under way, it added.
The Moroccan women fighting daily sexual harassment
A police statement said that the 24-year-old woman had learning difficulties, and that no complaint was filed by the victim or driver before the video was released.
M'Dina Bus made reference to accusations that the bus driver did not help the woman, saying: "At this stage, contrary to commentary on social media, we cannot confirm that the driver failed to react," adding that the video - under one minute long - was too short to tell.
Less than two weeks ago, Moroccan media reported on a video showing a large group of men following a young woman walking alone in the northern city of Tangier.

Slimani had already been taken off but referee Wayne Barnes allowed him to return after France's team doctor said Atonio needed a head injury assessment.
Slimani's return coincided with a series of scrums on the Wales line, and France finally won in the 100th minute.
The tournament's Untoward Incident Review Group is to review the matter.
Feature: Was this match the day rugby lost its head?
Organisers said: "Six Nations Rugby will send the file to the UIRG [review group] later this week and it is anticipated that the review process will begin shortly thereafter."
After the defeat, Wales interim head coach Rob Howley said: "There is evidence to suggest the integrity of the game has been brought into disrepute."
Following a chaotic and controversial finish to the game, Wales wing George North claimed he was bitten by an opponent, but citing commissioner John Montgomery said available video footage was inconclusive and no action was taken.
France forward Yoann Maestri was also fined 30,000 euros (£26,000) after accepting a misconduct charge for critical comments he made to the media about Barnes after the game.
On average, patients whose conditions are classed as being life-threatening, waited nearly three minutes more in 2015-16 than they did in 2013-14.
Average waiting times rose from 7.15 minutes to 10.17 minutes.
The NI Ambulance Service said its target of eight minutes was being missed because of the outdated system for categorising calls.
The longest average waiting time was in the South Eastern Trust area, where patients had to wait 11.30 minutes.
The information was contained in a Freedom of Information request by the BBC into ambulance response and waiting times across the UK.
999 calls are separated into three categories by the NI ambulance service:
The NI Ambulance Service (NIAS) said it was not meeting its target waiting time because of a problem in how those calls were broken down into each category.
It said some category A calls were being miscategorised under the current system, and should instead be treated as serious but not life-threatening incidents.
Brian McNeill, the director of operations at the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, said they are advocating a change to the system which is much needed.
"Demand has increased 23% from the last time we met the target which was 2012," he said.
"Our staff are working way beyond what we should require of them, without breaks and late finishes and we feel that the changes as to how we define the immediately life-threatening conditions will be positive."
NI Ambulance said the way calls are prioritised and their targets set was established in 1974 and has not kept up with current medical practices.
The Welsh ambulance service introduced a new system in October 2015 which saw a tenfold reduction in the number of calls classed as an emergency, and enabled it to reach the most serious cases quicker.
This ambulance response programme is also up and running in England, and the NIAS says it wants to bring in a similar system.
In the meantime, it is operating a number of systems whereby not every call to a paramedic would require a hospital admission but could offer, for example, advice from a clinician.
The NIAS says that, along with rising population figures, it also has to cope with increasing demand.
The percentage of calls that waited more than 12 minutes for a response increased from 17% in 2013-14 to more than 27% in 2015-16.
Northern Ireland Ambulance Service waiting times for category A calls - the most serious calls, where there is, potentially, an immediate threat to life.
One area where Northern Ireland appears to be doing better than the rest of the UK is the time spent waiting to hand over patients at emergency departments.
In 2013-14, the NIAS spent 16,719 hours waiting on hospitals to take their patients. This dropped to 14,928 in 2015-16.
The NIAS has a workforce of 1,287 and while overall demand on the service has increased, so have staff sickness levels, going up from just under 9% in 2013-14 to more than 10% in 2015-16.
But Mr Trump also falsely accused Hillary Clinton's team of starting the so-called "birther" campaign in 2008.
The "birther" movement had questioned Hawaii-born Mr Obama's citizenship and therefore his eligibility as president.
Mrs Clinton said Mr Trump had founded his campaign on "this outrageous lie".
Mr Trump said at a campaign event in Washington: "President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period.
"Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. I finished it. You know what I mean?"
There is no evidence to link Mrs Clinton to the birthers.
Does it matter where a country's leader is born?
The birth of the 'birther' conspiracy
Trump keeping fact-checkers busy
What is Trump's economic plan?
Mr Trump's campaign team had earlier also said it was Mrs Clinton's team who had started the rumours in 2008.
Senior Trump adviser Jason Miller said that Mr Trump had brought "this ugly incident to its conclusion" in 2011 by forcing Mr Obama to release his birth certificate.
However, Mr Trump had tweeted in 2012 that an "extremely creditable source" had told his office the certificate was a fraud.
He was also still refusing to say that Mr Obama had been born in Hawaii when questioned on the issue during a Washington Post interview on Thursday.
Analysts say that although the birther issue has not been a major one in this campaign, it continues to rankle with African-Americans, who see it as an attempt to challenge the legitimacy of the country's first black president.
Their vote has been solidly behind Mrs Clinton in opinion polls and Mr Trump needs to court it.
Mr Trump had promised a "major announcement" regarding his views on President Obama's birthplace. He eventually delivered, but only after delays and at the very end of a string of military speakers who sang his praises.
Mr Trump once again demonstrated he knows how to play the media like a violin - whether they wanted to be part of the concert or not.
The Republican nominee professes that he wants to put this issue behind him, but that may be wishful thinking. The Clinton team is sure to hit back hard against his unfounded allegations that its members had first raised the "birther" issue in 2008.
Mr Trump never adequately explained why he's had an apparent change of views after raising questions about Mr Obama's birthplace as recently as earlier this year. Those questions aren't going away.

Mrs Clinton also addressed the issue in a speech in Washington, just ahead of Mr Trump's.
She said Mr Trump had led the birther movement for five years and had founded his campaign on "this outrageous lie". "There is no erasing it," she said.
"Donald Trump owes [Mr Obama] and the American people an apology."
She added: "Imagine a person in the Oval Office who traffics in conspiracy theories - who distorts the truth to fit a very narrow view of the world.
"We cannot become insensitive to what he stirs up - we've got to stand up to it. If we don't, it won't stop."
After his speech, Mrs Clinton tweeted: "What Trump just did is a disgrace. What Trump should do for once in his life, own up to his mistakes."
The claim is a conspiracy theory that Mr Obama was actually born in Kenya and is therefore ineligible to be president.
Reports in various US publications suggest it was circulated in 2008 by die-hard supporters of Mrs Clinton as it became clear that she was not going to win the Democratic nomination.
However there is no evidence that Mrs Clinton or her then campaign had anything to do with it.
The claim enjoyed a revival with some supporters of Republican candidate John McCain as he fell behind Mr Obama in polls, the Fact Check website reported.
The billionaire became a vocal questioner of Mr Obama's citizenship as he was running for a second term as president.
In April 2011, Mr Trump challenged Mr Obama to show his birth certificate, gaining approval from Republicans including former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
Weeks later Mr Obama released his actual birth certificate from his native state of Hawaii. At that year's White House correspondents dinner, Mr Obama made light of the allegations, mocking Donald Trump.
The 2012 Republican candidate Mitt Romney referred to the discredited theory at a campaign rally in August that year, joking that no-one had asked to see his birth certificate - drawing swift condemnation from the Obama campaign.

As a philosophy, liberalism grew up around a belief in the rights of the individual and freedom of choice.
This belief underpinned the Liberal Party which emerged in the middle of the 19th Century and under William Gladstone became a major parliamentary force.
For a long period after the issue of home rule for Ireland split the party, the Liberal vote shrank and was not rebuilt until the 1950s.
Under Jo Grimond, the Liberals began to rebuild at the grassroots, with a focus on community issues and what became known as "pavement politics".
The Liberals' popularity grew further in the 1970s under Jeremy Thorpe. By the time he resigned over accusations of an affair the party had increased support at the general election from two million to six million, gaining almost 20% of the popular vote.
After entering into the "Lib-Lab pact" and supporting Jim Callaghan's minority Labour government, the Liberals were able to form an alliance with Labour members who left to form the Social Democratic Party.
This strategy saw the two parties capture 25% of the popular vote in 1983 but did not translate into as many seats as they had hoped.
In 1988, the Liberals formally merged with the SDP, settling on the name Liberal Democrats. Under a new leader, Paddy Ashdown, the party tried to present itself as a distinctive political force, pursuing radical policies.
By 1997, the Lib Dems had become the second-largest party in local elections and cooperated with the Labour government in areas where they had common goals, such as devolution.
But the relationship cooled under Ashdown's successor, Charles Kennedy, and then became one of outright opposition as the Lib Dems also took a stand against the Iraq war in 2003.
The party took a dozen seats from Labour at the 2005 election but less than a year after he declared his was "the party of the future" Mr Kennedy was forced to resign as leader.
His replacement, Sir Menzies Campbell, quit in 2007 and was replaced by former MEP Nick Clegg.
As the party's poll ratings stabilised it was bolstered by the rising star of Vince Cable, who gained a reputation for sound judgement in the midst of the financial crisis.
Mr Clegg gained a personal boost when he gave a well-regarded performance in the general election televised leaders' debates of 2010, leading to an outbreak of people declaring "I agree with Nick".
Perceived popularity did not translate into as many seats as they had hoped, but it left them holding the balance of power.
When the Lib Dems entered a coalition with the Conservatives Mr Clegg acknowledged it carried "big risks".
One of the biggest risks was to the party's own reputation, which suffered a sizeable blow when Lib Dems helped to pass legislation for tuition fees - something they had pledged to oppose in their election manifesto.
For their part, the Lib Dems argue they have made a tangible difference through taking more people out of tax, increasing free childcare provision, and seeking limits on some of the government's welfare and counter-terror reforms.
They will try to drive home that message and capitalise on their strong local campaigning record at the 2015 election.
Maida Vale resident and community activist John Simmance made the comments at a public inquiry into the demolition of the Carlton Tavern.
Developers CLXT Ltd knocked down the pub last year despite being refused planning permission to build 10 flats.
The local authority ordered it to be rebuilt, but the developers refused.
Westminster City Council and local campaigners said it should be rebuilt "brick by brick".
Councillor Rita Begum told the government-ordered inquiry at Westminster City Hall that developers "rode roughshod" over the community.
Mr Simmons said the pub had survived the Blitz, the Westway build and 1960s housing development.
He added that the community did not know that it was at risk of being developed and that if it did, "us Cockney builders and plumbers would have gone down and stopped it".
The developers had wanted to build 10 residential flats above a new pub on the site.
Historic England - previously known as English Heritage - was recommending the 1920s building for listed status.
The owner of the pub has so far been unavailable for comment.
The inquiry continues.
People in West Cumbria reported concerns about the noise.
United Utilities said the sound was caused by a change in the water supply which blended soft water from Ennerdale with harder water from boreholes near Egremont.
Joyce from Cleator Moor, said: "I did get a shock. I thought my kettle was going to blow up."
She said she was "a bit frightened to put it on" for fear of an explosion.
"But as long as it's safe we're fine. I was going to go and buy a new one, but there you go, we're fine," Joyce added.
The company said the popping noise was due to tiny bubbles forming and collapsing as the water boils and caused by the slightly harder water.
A spokesman said the water supply "meets all water quality standards" and apologised if it had "caused concern".
Areas affected are Workington, Whitehaven, Disington, Cleator Moor, Moresby, Egremont, Frizington, Seascale, Gosforth, Bootle, St Bees and Ennerdale Bridge.
Abstracting water from Ennerdale will cease once the new £300m pipeline linking West Cumbria to Thirlmere Reservoir is complete, United Utilities said.
The work is expected to be completed in 2022.
Sigurdsson scored Swansea's first goal as they came from two goals down to secure a draw at Stoke on Saturday.
Swansea are 10 points clear of the relegation zone with six games left, but the Iceland international says they cannot be complacent.
"You never know how things will pan out. But at the moment we're not feeling too confident," he said.

"I think we need a few more points and ideally probably one win would seal it.
"It's down to us to make sure that we keep on going and try to pick up as many points as we can and make sure by 15 May we are safe.
"There's going to be some crucial games in the next few weeks."
Head coach Francesco Guidolin also insists Swansea are not yet safe, but says three more points will probably secure top-flight status.
Top-scorer Sigurdsson said the introduction of winger Jefferson Montero as a second-half substitute was a game-changer against Stoke.
"On his day, when he's playing his best football, he's pretty much unstoppable with his speed," Sigurdsson added.
"It's easy for me and the striker just to try to time the run and get on the end of the crosses.

The fire broke out at a slaughterhouse in Dehui in Jilin province early on Monday.
Accounts speak of explosions prior to the fire, which caused panic and a crush of workers trying to escape. Most exits were said to be locked.
A labour activist told the BBC it was the worst factory fire in living memory.
The fire is now said to have been mostly put out and bodies are being recovered.
President Xi Jinping, who is on a visit to the Americas, ordered every effort to go into the rescue operation and treatment of survivors, adding that the investigation into the cause of the accident would be vigorous.
Sources including the provincial fire department suggest there may have been an ammonia leak which either caused the fire or made fighting the blaze more hazardous.
Other reports speak of an electrical fault.
It is China's deadliest fire since 2000, when 309 people died in a blaze in a dance hall in Luoyang, in Henan province.
About 100 workers had managed to escape from the Baoyuan plant, Xinhua said, adding that the "complicated interior structure" of the building and narrow exits had made rescue work more difficult.
It said the plant's front gate was locked when the blaze began, and other official media reports said there was only one unlocked door in the whole building.
Firefighters have still not completed the job of recovering bodies from the building, meaning the death toll may rise yet further, say correspondents.
Some 60 injured people have been sent to hospital, but the severity of their injuries remains unclear. State media quoted hospital staff as saying that some wounded were being treated for inhalation of toxic gases such as ammonia while others had burns of varying degrees.
Pictures from the scene showed the roof mostly burned away to reveal blackened, twisted girders.
The provincial government said it sent more than 500 firefighters and at least 270 doctors and nurses to the scene, evacuating an area nearby that is home to 3,000 people as a precaution, reported Reuters news agency.
By Celia HattonBBC Beijing correspondent
China's central government in Beijing has created thousands of workplace safety regulations, from the handling of toxic chemicals to the prevention of occupational illnesses. But those laws are not always enforced, since local officials and factory bosses often place profits ahead of safety.
Many buildings in China, including factories, are constructed without consideration for health and safety concerns. Worries over factory thefts often dictate that building exits are locked, making it difficult for workers to leave in a hurry.
The authorities in Beijing are attempting to change that pattern. Workplace accidents have dropped by a third in the past five years, according to comments attributed to former Vice-Premier Zhang Dejiang. The death toll from those accidents dropped by almost the same proportion.
However, China's Public Security Bureau notes that in 2011 fires on construction sites rose nearly 6% and in agricultural factories nearly 9% compared to 2010. Factory bosses failed to obey safety procedures, using heat sources and electricity in unsafe ways, it said.
Critics argue that factory bosses are rarely punished for workplace accidents.
Poultry plant fire raises safety concerns
Workers interviewed by state broadcaster CCTV said the fire broke out at about 06:00 (22:00 Sunday GMT) during a shift change and may have started in a locker room.
Those who managed to escape from the factory describe panic and chaos as the lights went out, the building filled with smoke, and they found exits blocked or locked.
Guo Yan told Xinhua the emergency exit for her workstation was blocked and that she was knocked to the ground in a crush of workers trying to escape through a side door.
"I could only crawl desperately forward," said Ms Guo, 39. "I worked alongside an old lady and a young girl, but I don't know if they survived or not."
Another unnamed survivor said: "I escaped by climbing out of a window. There was a huge cloud of black smoke coming down the corridor. It was burning hot. It engulfed me. As soon as I was outside I collapsed unconscious."
Family members were quoted as saying the factory doors were always kept locked during working hours.
The plant is owned by Jilin Baoyuanfeng Poultry Co. It was only established in 2009 and is not an antiquated facility.
Located around 800km (500 miles) north-east of Beijing, it employs some 1,200 people and produces some 67,000 tonnes of chicken products every year.
Chickens are slaughtered at the plant and then cut up for retail - a process that takes place in cold conditions. Ammonia is used as part of the cooling system and in such plants flammable foam insulation is commonly used to keep temperatures low.
Workplace safety standards are often poor in China, with fatal accidents regularly reported at large factories and mines, says the BBC's John Sudworth in Shanghai.
Those lax standards are variously linked to corruption, the prioritisation of efficient production over worker safety in building design, and poor enforcement of safety rules.

The hosts were earlier dismissed for 411, taking maximum batting points after resuming on 370-6 at Southampton.
Durham looked in trouble at 186-7, but recovered with an unbroken eight-wicket partnership of 56 between Michael Richardson (50) and Brydon Carse (30).
However, a win will now keep Hampshire up - whatever happens elsewhere.
Victory over Durham would ensure safety at the expense of the losers of Warwickshire's game with Lancashire at Edgbaston - while if that game is drawn or tied, a Hampshire win would send the Bears down.
Seventh-placed Warwickshire lead sixth-placed Lancashire by 79 runs with 10 second-innings wickets in hand after two days - but while both took maximum bowling points, the two sides only collected one batting point between them,
Hampshire currently trail Warwickshire by five points and Lancashire by 10.
If Hampshire take two more Durham wickets in the next 27 overs, they would earn a third and final batting point - which would mean a draw would keep them up at Warwickshire's expense if Lancashire win.
The hosts lost their last four wickets for just 41 runs on the second morning at the Ageas Bowl as Durham claimed a final bowling point with 11 balls to spare.
Graham Onions took three wickets in three overs to finish with figures of 3-41.
Durham's reply started poorly when Keaton Jennings fell leg before without scoring to Gareth Berg's first ball and Scott Borthwick (15) edged Brad Wheal to keeper Lewis McManus.
Spinners Liam Dawson and Mason Crane reduced the visitors to 152-5 in the afternoon session, including captain Paul Collingwood for nought and Graham Clark for 58.
Wheal accounted for Ben Stokes (50) and Ryan Pringle in quick succession after tea as the follow-on looked possible.
But Hampshire failed to make a further breakthrough in the final 25 overs of the day and will look to finish off Durham's first innings with the second new ball on the third morning.
Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson told BBC Radio Solent:
"A decent day today for us and it's the sort of wicket where something can happen very quickly.
"You can get a partnership going, but you can also go bang, bang with a couple of wickets really quickly and a new batsman is in.
"We're still ahead of the game, but we're obviously going to have to take those three quick wickets in the morning and bat quickly and set a score.
"There's going to be a result at Edgbaston, but we're in a good position as well. They know that too and we can still win this game." | Hampshire retained their hopes of Division One survival as they restricted Durham to 242-7 in their first innings, a lead of 169 runs. | 37,425,368 | 623 | 30 | false |
Celtic Energy said it followed an announcement by RWE that Aberthaw power station was unlikely to require large volumes of coal beyond March 2017.
A consultation on the plan for the Nant Helen opencast site has begun with trade unions and other parties.
The company said the state of the coal industry meant "difficult decisions are inevitable".
In October, Celtic Energy announced its decision to mothball its opencast coal site Selar, near Glynneath, for three years, resulting in 70 people losing their jobs.
When that decision was taken, the company said it could not keep the site running along with Nant Helen and the expanded East Pit.
Hamilton was 0.69 seconds clear as Mercedes appeared in a race of their own, with Ferrari off the pace.
Sebastian Vettel was only eighth - 1.9secs slower than Hamilton - as Force India's Sergio Perez took third.
The session was run after quick repair work to kerbs, which had been cutting tyres in the first session.
There were no immediate reports of further problems after the kerbs were welded to prevent sharp edges coming loose, but further repairs are inevitable overnight before qualifying on Saturday.
Qualifying and the race are live on the BBC Sport website and radio 5 live Sports Extra from 14:00 BST.
Vettel was one of a number of drivers to explore the run-off areas at the demanding, new 3.7-mile street circuit in the nation's capital Baku, which features F1's longest straight.
But there were no repeats of the crashes suffered by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz in the first session.
A number of teams were out of their usual positions - in addition to Vettel, his Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen was down in 11th and the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo only seventh and 10th.
Williams' Valtteri Bottas was fourth, ahead of Force India's Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz's Toro Rosso.
McLaren's Jenson Button was ninth, two places ahead of team-mate Fernando Alonso.
Hamilton's pace advantage over Rosberg was just as big on the long race-simulation runs - Hamilton was 0.7secs on average quicker than his team-mate after four laps, before Rosberg's car failed and he had to stop out on track with a lack of drive.
After running Mercedes close in Canada last weekend, Ferrari were struggling again in Baku, their recurring problem of struggling to get the tyres up to the correct operating temperature biting them again.
And although Rosberg and Button raised concerns about the lack of run-off areas at some corners on Thursday, the safety features seemed to work well through both sessions.
Haas's Esteban Gutierrez explored them the most regularity - he suffered multiple off-track moments through the session, and Raikkonen's session ended five minutes early when his rear wheels locked and he slid into an escape road and had to park up.
Vettel also hit trouble at the end of the session, being ordered to slow down and return to the pits with a minute to go.
The team told Vettel that he had suffered an issue with his MGU-K - the device that recovers energy from the rear axle in these hybrid cars - as had Raikkonen.
"The speed wasn't quite there, so we need to have a look and see to be in better position tomorrow," Vettel said.
"It's not nice, it's not good news [to be two seconds off the pace]. Some of it we can explain, and other bits we need to wait and see what tomorrow brings. It's been a tricky day for us, not entirely clean when you look a raw pace."
The drivers will discuss the issue of track safety, among other matters, with FIA F1 director Charlie Whiting in their briefing on Friday afternoon.
European Grand Prix second practice results
European Grand Prix coverage details
Sergio Ramos scored a stoppage-time equaliser after Luis Suarez's headed opener for Barca.
But who was brilliant in the first half and faded badly? Which players were only good enough for 4/10? Who was man of the match? It's our El Clasico player ratings.
Made some nervy saves in the first half and his kicking was pretty poor throughout, but avoided any major howlers despite regularly looking on the verge of one. Had no chance for Real's goal.
Shackled Cristiano Ronaldo pretty well with a typically industrious display. Struggled to get forward but came close to a late winner with a looping header which Casemiro cleared off the line.
Very solid and composed display from a defender who has been giving plenty of those throughout the last couple of seasons. Never looked flustered and made several timely interventions.
Appeared to slip at the crucial moment to allow Sergio Ramos to score the late leveller. Otherwise as tigerish as always but could have conceded an early penalty with a risky challenge on Lucas Vazquez.
Had a fierce battle with Vazquez and got forward when he could, including a cross which led to an ambitious penalty handball appeal. Made one brilliant challenge on Karim Benzema to deny a clear chance.
Very quiet in the first half as the game bypassed Barca's midfield, and was substituted shortly after the break for Andres Iniesta. Really struggling for form at the moment.
Was left holding the fort in the first half as Barca struggled to establish a foothold in the game, but became an increasingly important influence in the second period after the game opened up and Andres Iniesta came off the bench to give him company in midfield.
A weak display, both in terms of his general contribution and physically, with the Portugal international regularly bundled off the ball. Improved slightly after moving to the right of Barca's midfield three but was then substituted.
Tried to get Barca going during the opening period when they were clearly second best, regularly dropping deep and moving infield to look for possession. At the heart of everything in the second half and produced a great pass to create a chance for Neymar. But he also blazed wide a very presentable opportunity after receiving Iniesta's through ball.
His well-taken headed goal lifted an otherwise ineffective performance. The Uruguayan was subdued by Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos and failed to threaten Keylor Navas' goal, although a dangerous first-half shot was well blocked. Little link-up play with Messi or Neymar.
Occasionally erratic but always a threat, creating Suarez's first-half chance with a good cross and later winning and delivering the free-kick for the opening goal. Produced a brilliant dribble to beat Dani Carvajal but then blazed his shot over the bar. Had another shot blocked after linking with Messi.
Subs
Came on just after Barca scored and greatly contributed to his team's second-half improvement with his controlled passing and ability to move into space. Conjured maybe the moment of the match with a stunning incisive through ball which Messi uncharacteristically fired wide.
Came on for the final 15 minutes as Barca attempted to defend their lead. Conceded the free-kick which led to Real's equaliser.
A late change with no time to make an impact.
Had very little to do, being well beaten by Luis Suarez's goal and seeing Barca fire their best chances off target. His greatest exertion was racing 90 yards to join the late goal celebrations.
Survived an ambitious penalty appeal for handball and honours were just about even in his personal duel with Neymar, although he earned a yellow card after hacking down the Brazilian. Always eager to get forward.
Captain Fantastic does it again. Ramos has a history of dramatic late goals, including an injury-time equaliser in the 2014 Champions League final, and his heroic header stole the headlines again. A generally solid performance despite a couple of loose touches.
Preferred to Pepe in the heart of defence and justified that decision with a smooth display to keep Suarez quiet, although the Uruguayan got in front of him for Barca's goal. Nearly scored with a first-half header from a corner.
So often a source of attacking menace for Real, the Brazilian was fouled to win the free-kick for the equaliser. Did a decent job defending against Messi and made some typically bounding runs forward. Fired a snapshot wide in the first half.
Contributed amply to Real's first-half dominance, with some neat touches and good passing combinations. Was replaced by Casemiro after his team went off the boil in the second half.
Playing in an unfamiliar 'pivot' position in front of the back four, Modric was easily the best player on the pitch in the first half, pulling the strings of an impressive team performance with clockwork passing. Faded badly in the second half but delivered a perfect free-kick for Ramos's goal.
Busy and energetic performance from a player who has done well to establish a starting place in recent weeks. Replaced by Mariano in the final stages.
Diligent in his defensive chores against Alba and Neymar and always looked to use his pace and running power to launch counter-attacks. Could have been given a penalty after bursting into the box to draw a challenge from Mascherano.
Another ineffective performance from a player who has been well below his best during an injury-disrupted campaign. Had a volley blocked in the first half but otherwise offered no threat and was substituted.
Had the game's first effort on target with a tame flicked header and always looked dangerous during his team's strong first-half display, forcing Ter Stegen into saves with a near-post drive and a low toe-poke. Like his team, he was far less menacing in the second half and finished at centre forward after Benzema was subbed.
Subs
Brought on by Zidane in an attempt to stifle Barca during the hosts' strongest phase of the game. Looked understandably rusty after three months out but made a key intervention with a last-minute header off the line.
The highly regarded young winger came on for the final 15 minutes and provided something of a spark with some determined dribbles.
A late throw of the dice from Zidane but barely touched the ball.
Joanna Killian, who took up the role at Essex County Council in 2006, has accepted a job at accounting firm KPMG.
Ms Killian's tenure included a period when the council leader was Lord Hanningfield, jailed in 2011 for fiddling parliamentary expenses.
The former peer spent £286,000 on a council credit card.
In November 2012, Ms Killian told the BBC the council was looking into trying to recoup some of the money spent by Lord Hanningfield.
But last year, the authority decided not to pursue legal action to recover £51,000 which may have been spent inappropriately on the credit card - something the peer denied.
Ms Killian faced criticism in 2009 over her £230,000 salary after she took on the role of chief executive of Brentwood Borough Council alongside her Essex County Council job.
The arrangement came to an end in 2012.
Ms Killian said deciding to leave her post at the council was the hardest decision of her career.
"But after nearly nine years as chief executive, I feel the time is right for a change and there are exciting challenges presented by my new role," she said.
Current council leader David Finch said she had been an "exemplar" chief executive.
"Her leadership and undoubted skill in steering the council through the challenging times which have confronted all public services cannot be doubted," he said.
The council said no timetable had yet been established for her departure.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) wants to create the new purpose-built centre on the site of a former Masonic lodge in Portishead.
The building will house an inshore lifeboat and provide facilities for Portishead Lifeboat Trust's volunteer crew, which the RNLI plans to "adopt".
It is hoped the new station will become operational in summer 2014.
Colin Williams, from the RNLI, said building work would start in the autumn following a fundraising drive over the summer.
"The trustees of the RNLI have agreed, in principle, to pursue the adoption of the Portishead and Bristol lifeboat from the Portishead Lifeboat Trust."
But Mr Williams said this would only happen when a "suitable operations site has been constructed and the requisite shore facilities built".
This is set to be the biggest-ever acquisition by NTT Data, which is part of Japan's former telephone monopoly.
Dell has reportedly been looking to sell off non-core assets to raise billions of dollars ahead of its $67bn takeover of data storage firm EMC Corp.
NTT Data will take on Dell's 28,000 employees in North America and India.
In a filing to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, NTT Data said the purchase will enhance its cloud and business-process outsourcing (BPO) services.
The firm has been looking for new sources of revenues outside of Japan, which faces a shrinking and rapidly ageing population.
According to Bloomberg data, NTT Data has spent more than 72bn yen buying mostly overseas companies since 2011.
Its main rivals include India's Tata Consultancy Services, France's Atos and US firm Cognizant Technology Solutions.
Believed to be a Spigot mortar, it was spotted near Weston-super-Mare after it was exposed at low tide on Saturday.
The discovery resulted in a 4,900ft (1,500m) exclusion zone being put in place and residents being advised to stay in doors.
A controlled blast was carried out by the Royal Navy Bomb Disposal Unit on Sunday afternoon.
Harriott presented the BBC One cookery show Ready Steady Cook for 16 years, while Bright is best known for playing Linda Carter on the BBC One soap.
They will join Radio 2 presenter Jeremy Vine, who was revealed as the first contestant on Monday.
The 13th season of BBC One's Strictly starts in September.
Harriott, 58, said: "I must admit that I do love to dance, but doing it in front of the nation is a whole different matter.
"In my day job the only type of salsa I know about is the one in my recipes, so I am looking forward to rising to the challenge. Bring it on!"
Speaking about his rival, Harriott said Jeremy Vine had a "wonderful discipline about him".
He added: "When it comes to dancing it is about the discipline and how much effort you put in. If you put the time in then you can be a bit more expressive."
Bright said: "One reason I wanted to do it is because I'm going to be 40 next year. I thought well actually at this point in my life to be the fittest I've ever been, or to certainly give it a good go, is a great thing and it will be challenging.
"I just want to see what my body can still do, you know what I mean, before it all goes kaput."
The other contestants taking part will be announced over the next few weeks. Last year's competition was won by X Factor presenter Caroline Flack.
Owens, Cpt Hannah Winterbourne, the Army's highest-ranking transgender soldier, and novelist Dr Sarah Waters will be honoured by Cardiff University.
Maj Gen Susan Ridge, the Army's highest-ranked woman, and former chief medical officer for Wales, Ruth Hussey, receive theirs from Bangor University.
Honours are for those with "outstanding recognition in their field".
Owens, who is from Mynyddcerrig, Carmarthenshire and began officiating as a teenager, made his Rugby World Cup debut in France in 2007 and took charge of the 2015 Rugby World Cup final.
In June, he was awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
Dr Waters hails from Pembrokeshire and shot to fame after publishing her first novel, Tipping the Velvet, in 1998, which was made into a drama series for the BBC.
Prof John Hughes, vice-chancellor of Bangor University, said: "We are proud of the achievements of all our graduates and celebrate their success, especially those who will graduate this year.
"Our graduation ceremonies also provide an opportunity for us to take pride in the success of others in our community or to honour those who have a close relationship with the university."

Maidstone's Stuart Lewis carried the main goal threat in a low-key first half, but was denied in the 13th minute by Myles Weston's well-judged tackle and in the 38th by a superb save from Nathan Ashmore.
It was Ebbsfleet who broke the deadlock in the 66th minute, though, when Luke Coulson cut in from the left and fired home in style.
Danny Kedwell made it 2-0 in the 77th minute after he was played in by Jack Powell and Lewis was sent off in stoppage time for a foul on Andy Drury.

They used formulas to calculate how effective the 4.69m (15.4ft) wide cape used in Batman Begins would be.
The University of Leicester paper concludes that "clearly gliding using a batcape is not a safe way to travel".
But the four students, all Batman fans, said the superhero would be able to fly safely if he used a larger cape.
David Marshall, one of the students, said: "We found he could fly quite well and he can actually fly pretty far.
"He can get about twice as far as he does fall, but once he gets there he is travelling about 50mph and that's a bit too fast to land safely.
"He would likely end up getting a bit splattered."
In Batman Begins the superhero uses a cape which becomes rigid when a current is passed through it.
The students' paper, called
Trajectory of a Falling Batman
, points out this method of gliding is similar to that used by base jumpers with wingsuits.
"If you increase the wingspan, once it gets towards the size of a glider it's going to start working," said Mr Marshall.
"With a few adaptations it would be fine.
"It's just how much you can stretch it past his arms."
The students - David Marshall, Tom Hands, Ian Griffiths and Gareth Douglas - got bonus marks for the paper which helped them get first-class and 2:1 degrees.
They will graduate on Thursday and all intend to do PhDs.
Connor Sparrowhawk, 18, drowned in the bath after an epileptic seizure at Slade House, in Headington, Oxfordshire, in July 2013.
Dr Valerie Murphy told an inquest jury there was "immense pressure" on staff at the time he died.
Patients' needs were challenging and there was increased pressure to fill beds, she said.
Staff were also worried about their jobs following a recent takeover by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, the inquest at Oxford Coroner's Court heard.
Speaking about Connor's death, consultant psychiatrist Dr Murphy told the court: "I think about it every day, it was tragic beyond words that a young man lost his life and I'm sorry for that."
Connor, who had learning disabilities and epilepsy, was admitted to Slade House in March 2013 after his behaviour became aggressive.
On 4 July 2013, he was left alone in the bath and 15 to 20 minutes after last being checked was found under the water not breathing.
A post-mortem examination concluded he drowned after an epileptic seizure.
Six weeks prior to his death, Connor's mother Dr Sara Ryan emailed staff to say she thought Connor had experienced a seizure and bitten his tongue, the inquest heard.
Dr Murphy told the jury she did not believe that was the case and a decision was made at a team meeting to reduce Connor's observations from every 10 minutes to once an hour.
An independent report into his death, commissioned by Southern Health, said this was a "missed opportunity".
Shortly after Connor died Care Quality Commission inspectors entered the unit and concluded "care and treatment was not consistently planned and delivered" and "the provider did not have an effective system in place to identify and manage risks to health, safety and welfare".
The inquest also heard from Ben Morris, the then manager of the unit, who agreed the findings were fair.
The hearing continues.
The study looked at data from nearly 1,200 groundwater quality samples from across the country.
The resulting risk map shows concentrations well above World Health Organization (WHO) safety guidelines across the Indus plain.
The research has been published in the journal, Science Advances.
Arsenic is a semi-metallic element found all over the world in varying concentrations. Humans come into contact with it because it leaches into groundwater from rocks and sediments.
The WHO says about 150 million people around the world rely on groundwater contaminated with arsenic.
Long-term exposure can lead to a variety of chronic health conditions, including skin disorders, cancers of the lung and bladder as well as cardiovascular issues.
The WHO has established a level of 10 micrograms per litre as the permissible concentration in drinking water. In Pakistan, the government says that 50 micrograms per litre is acceptable.
This new study shows that 50-60 million people living in the Indus valley, which runs through much of eastern Pakistan, are drinking water which very likely exceeds their government's safe level.
The scientists collected ground water samples, taken from wells going down into the Earth, at 1,200 sites throughout the country. The team then used statistical methods to construct a "hazard map" and to estimate the size of population exposed to the threat.
Lead author Dr Joel Podgorski from the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology told BBC News that the findings were "alarming".
"This is the first time we've been able to show the full extent of the problem in Pakistan. Because of the geology and the soil properties and based on all of the measurements we've taken, basically the whole Indus plain is at high risk of having high arsenic levels in the groundwater."
The researchers say that one important cause of the problem is that the sediments that contain the arsenic are relatively young.
So if an aquifer has developed since the end of the last ice age around 10,000 years ago, it's more likely to have higher levels of arsenic in the water than older, deeper aquifers where most of the chemical has leached away.
The scientists also believe that irrigation for farming is making the situation worse. The study found a strong correlation between high soil PH levels and arsenic concentrations.
"There is massive irrigation in the Indus valley, it's a very hot and dry climate," said Dr Podgorski.
"If you have a lot of water flooding the surface that is going to percolate down to the aquifer, that would be an easy way of bringing any released arsenic down to the groundwater."
The number of people who are likely impacted in Pakistan, according to the study, far exceeds the 20 million affected in China. Some researchers, who welcomed the study, have reservations about the scale of the impact.
For David Polya, professor of environmental chemistry at the University of Manchester, there is a "considerable amount of uncertainty in the new figures".
"Even if the population at risk was only half that estimated, it would mean that the estimates of the number of people around the world impacted by such high arsenic hazard groundwaters would need to be substantially upwardly revised," he said.
"This reflects a trend over the the last few decades, where increasing numbers of people have been recognised to be exposed to high arsenic concentrations in their drinking water.
"As further detailed studies such as this are conducted in other areas, no doubt the number of people known to be exposed to this poison through drinking water will further increase."
Other researchers in the field say that whatever the overall accuracy of the numbers, the study is bringing much-needed attention to an under-reported issue.
"This new study contributes information on the causes and extent of arsenic contamination that will be useful for Pakistan as well as for the broader water sector," said Dr Rick Johnston from the WHO.
"It points out the need for robust water quality surveillance and for either avoiding arsenic in drinking water by exploiting arsenic-free resources, or effectively removing arsenic from drinking water supplies."
The only way to get a definitive answer to the scale of exposure is to do more testing on the ground, says Dr Podgorski, the lead author.
"Ultimately, what our map shows is that this whole area should really be tested," he said.
"Some are fine, some are not, you need to go through every step to test each well."

The PC maker's net profit fell to $130m (£85m) in the three months to 3 May, on revenue down 2% to $14bn.
Dell is in the middle of a dispute between founder Michael Dell and two of its biggest shareholders.
Mr Dell wants to take the company private, but some investors oppose the plan.
Mr Dell, and private equity group Silver Lake, have offered to buy back the company for $24.4bn, and have pledged to shift the business away from PCs to mobile devices.
But its biggest shareholders - the investor Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management - have argued that the valuation of the company is too cheap, and that Mr Dell's deal is a "giveaway".
Instead, they have proposed to offer additional shares to shareholders and install new management.
In its quarterly results, Dell said that revenue from new technologies, services and software, rose 12% to $5.5bn. That was in contrast to PC sales, which fell 9%.
The company did not issue a profit guidance for the second quarter due to the ongoing dispute. It has created a special committee of the board to study the private equity deal and alternative bids.
Jacqui Beale, 48, from Derbyshire, suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung, and was left needing stitches to her face when she was attacked while walking her dog.
She and another victim, from West Yorkshire, are taking legal action.
The National Farmers' Union (NFU) said walkers "must be most aware of the issues" in the countryside.
Ms Beale said she thought she was going to die when she was attacked by eight cows in May.
The dog groomer, from Wirksworth, added: "I was bashed about by about eight cows. I remember being tossed from one to another and thinking I wasn't going to survive.
"All I could hear was snorting and breathing, it was terrifying."
Ms Beale, whose dog was on a lead at the time of the attack in May, managed to get herself to safety and now wants to warn others.

Grandfather-of-five Mike Pace, from Huddersfield, was trampled while walking along a public footpath with his wife Gill on holiday in Abersoch in Gwynedd, Wales, in August.
The 55-year-old said: "This black bullock that had been staring looking menacing charged me and threw me up in the air and then the other cattle just started trampling me.
"While on the floor I had a conversation with myself thinking I was going to die. I told myself I'd had a good life."
Mrs Pace escaped unharmed, but her husband spent more than a month in hospital and still needs crutches to walk.
Sally Gray, a personal injury specialist at Slater and Gordon, is representing a number of people who have been injured by cattle.
"When it comes to public liability and the risk owed to the public, farmers have been advised not to put calves and their mothers in fields that are open to the public together," she added.
A spokesperson for the NFU said: "The countryside is a working environment where animals graze so it's important that people are mindful of this.
"Spring and summer are when we love to enjoy the countryside, so it is this time of year when walkers must be most aware of the issues."
The 29-year-old man was detained in Newham, east London, and has become the 18th arrest in the inquiry.

Mr Pandjaitan said authorities had identified at least six provinces where children and babies could be evacuated, local media say, but any evacuation would depend on approval from President Joko Widodo.
Other options include moving residents to government offices equipped with air purifiers, Reuters news agency reports.

Why are peat lands burning?
Deadly cost of Indonesia's burning land
The haze is caused by farmers clearing land for plantations for the palm oil, pulp and paper industries, primarily in the Indonesian province of Kalimantan on Borneo and the island of Sumatra.
Residents in those areas have been living with hazardous levels of smoke in the past two months.
Indonesia has struggled to put out the fires, most of which are on peat land which burns for longer and produces more smoke than other fires.
US-based environmental research organisation World Resource Institute said earlier this week that the daily carbon emissions caused by the fires were surpassing the average emissions by the United States.
The haze has blanketed Singapore and Malaysia as well, straining diplomatic ties, and has recently drifted northwards to affect southern Thailand and the Philippines.
Washington and co-star Viola Davis will reprise the roles they won Tonys for in a revival of the play on Broadway in 2010, according to Variety magazine.
The 1987 August Wilson play explores race relations in 1950s America.
Paramount Pictures' Brad Grey said the "important and beloved" work had "been a passion of Denzel's for many years".
It will be Washington's third time as director, following his 2002 debut Antwone Fisher and 2007's The Great Debaters.
The film, which centres on the relationships between Troy - an ex-baseball player who is now a rubbish collector - and his family and friends, is due to begin shooting in Pittsburgh later this month.
The story was one of 10 written by Wilson for his Pittsburgh Cycle, each of which documented the experience of black Americans in a different decade on the 20th Century.
A 2013 revival in the UK saw Sir Lenny Henry take the lead role to wide critical acclaim.
They have renewed their appeal for information about Thomas Clark.
He was seen on CCTV leaving Hairmyres Hospital at about 10:45. Officers now understand he got on the 201 First Bus at Whitemoss Avenue at about 11:30. The bus was travelling towards Airdrie.
Anyone with information has been urged to contact police.
It is thought Mr Clark returned to his home in Kirkton Park in the town after leaving the hospital.
Mr Clark is about 5ft 6in, of slim build with white hair.
When he was last seen he was wearing a long brown puffer jacket and brown leather shoes.
He also wore a checked grey jumper with blue and green diamonds on the front, a black beanie hat and grey padded gloves with leather palms.
Sgt Nicola Hope from Police Scotland said: "Our enquiries have determined that Mr Clark did board the 201 First Bus travelling in the direction of Airdrie.
"We would ask anyone who was on that bus on Thursday at around 11:30 to think back.
"You may have seen Thomas Clark, or witnessed the stop that he got off the bus.
"Our enquiries are ongoing to trace Mr Clark. Officers are continuing to assess CCTV and are liaising with local transport providers."
Hamilton's victory, in a race enlivened by a wet start and some terrific wheel-to-wheel battles, ties him with first-race winner Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.
Vettel was second, hardening impressions that 2017 will be a fight between the two multiple champions.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen moved up from 16th on the grid to finish third.
The grand prix could have swung in favour of either Hamilton or Vettel depending on how events had played out.
In the end, fate decided for Hamilton, who was able to control the race from the front throughout and respond to his pursuers, who were always kept well out of arm's length.
Vettel had to fight back after losing out on strategy in a chaotic opening, which kept the shape of the race in doubt through a series of incidents and accidents.
Verstappen further heightened his already burgeoning reputation as one of F1's most exciting drivers with a strong performance to challenge Hamilton early on.
The Dutchman, up from 16th to seventh on the first lap, took the final podium spot, but was under pressure in the closing laps from his more measured team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, who Verstappen had overtaken impressively in the early stages.
Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas had a chastening day, spinning behind the safety car in the early stages and dropping back to 12th, from which he recovered to finish sixth, behind the second Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen.
And there was cruel luck for Fernando Alonso, who drove a strong opening lap to have the uncompetitive McLaren-Honda up into eighth place, ran seventh for much of the race and was on course to finish there when his driveshaft failed shortly after half distance.
The race could have turned out very differently had it not been for a key moment on lap four.
After a wet start, Hamilton led the opening lap from Vettel and Bottas but the deployment of the virtual safety car following a crash by Williams rookie Lance Stroll, punted off by Force India's Sergio Perez, prompted Vettel and most of the midfield runners to pit for dry tyres on lap two.
The decision dropped Vettel to sixth but with all the runners ahead of him still on the grooved intermediate tyres on a rapidly drying track.
The four-time champion was now in a strong position, and poised to take the lead when Hamilton, Bottas, Ricciardo, Raikkonen and Verstappen pitted.
But Hamilton and the others were saved by a crash by Sauber's Antonio Giovinazzi, the Italian losing it at the last corner, just as he had in qualifying on Saturday.
That brought out the safety car and Hamilton and the rest could make their own pit stops for dry tyres without losing out.
From there, Hamilton could control the race at will and was pretty much untroubled, despite a late push from Vettel.
As the safety car helped Hamilton, it hurt Vettel, who now had to battle past both Red Bulls and team-mate Raikkonen to retain the championship lead.
Ricciardo began to struggle and he soon had a queue behind him, with Verstappen heading Raikkonen and Vettel.
Verstappen, predictably, was the man on the move, passing his team-mate on lap 11 at the Turn Five hairpin and chasing after Hamilton.
Raikkonen spent another nine laps failing to pass Ricciardo before the Finn was overtaken by team-mate Vettel at Turn Five.
Two laps later, Vettel put perhaps the move of the race on Ricciardo, going all the way around the outside of Turn Five, the two banging wheels in a puff of blue smoke as they accelerated side-by-side towards the fast Turn Six, where the Ferrari finally claimed the place.
Vettel chased down Verstappen, who he provoked into a mistake at the Turn 14 hairpin at the end of the long straight on lap 28, exactly half distance.
A pit stop for fresh tyres from Ferrari forced Mercedes to respond but, with the two cars evenly matched, there was stalemate.
There were a number of great performances - Hamilton was sublime in the lead, Vettel excellent in attack-recovery mode, Alonso dragging his recalcitrant McLaren into the points, Carlos Sainz impressive in the Toro Rosso.
But it's hard to look beyond Verstappen - 16th to seventh on the opening lap, the usual plethora of great passes, embarrassing Ricciardo in the early laps, and holding on for a podium in a car with difficult balance because of lack of track time in qualifying.
"I think this will be one of the closest [title fights] if not the closest I have experienced," said Hamilton.
"Ferrari have done a great job and it is great that we are both pushing."
Sebastian Vettel: "The safety car came just as I was about to start to feel the dry tyres were a lot quicker but then I had a very exciting race. I was stuck in the train for a little while but then tried to chase down Lewis Hamilton. It was a good match. It was good fun."
Max Verstappen: "It was a very challenging race but I really enjoyed it. I think I overtook nine cars in the opening lap so it was a very good race for me!
"I didn't have a lot of track time this weekend because didn't do much in qualifying so I wasn't expecting to finish on the podium having started in 16th."
Chapter three of their promising battle takes place under the lights of Bahrain next weekend, where temperatures will be a good 20C higher than on a chilly 12C day in Shanghai.
Both Hamilton and Vettel share two victories each in the desert race.

AMs will look at how well people feel the Welsh Government responds to climate change, contributes to heritage and landscapes and serves local needs.
The closing date for submissions to the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee is 7 April.
The AMs will also examine the Welsh Government's delivery of its Woodlands for Wales strategy.
Committee chairman Mark Reckless said: "Forests and woodlands cover more than 300,000 hectares in Wales, and the industry is worth half a billion pounds to the Welsh economy.
"We will be taking a close look at this sector, examining how the Welsh Government is balancing the sustainable environmental and commercial priorities.
"We would be interested to hear what anyone with an interest in forestry and woodland in Wales has to say."
He told the BBC the 48% who had voted to Remain felt "disenfranchised" and it was not clear "what we are moving to".
He said that "if the will of the people shifts" as details of what Brexit means for the country begin to emerge, then, "Why shouldn't we recognise that?"
Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn have both ruled out a second EU referendum.
When asked on Radio 4's The World This Weekend whether "keeping our options open" meant a second EU referendum, Mr Blair replied: "It means whatever we decide it should mean as we see how this debate develops."
But he said the case for leaving the EU had "crumbled".
He said the government should engage now with other European Union countries to see what room there was for manoeuvre, stressing the continuing importance of David Cameron's role in this, rather than waiting for the outcome of the Tory leadership race.
He said the referendum had been an event of "seismic importance" but warned the focus in the wake of Mr Cameron's resignation as prime minister would be on the Conservative leadership contest rather than the country's national interest.
He said that once the practical effects of the UK's decision to leave the EU became clearer, then there should be a role for Parliament.
"Right now it's clear. We're leaving," he added.
"But we don't know what we're going to. If what happens as we develop this negotiation with the rest of Europe, it does become clear - and let's suppose for example we find we're shut out of the single market, we have to rely on the World Trade Organisation as the route back in to different trade deals....
"My point is this. We are sovereign. Let's just keep our options open."
The former prime minister said Britain had "diminished" its place in the world and would have to "fight to get it back".
There have been some calls for a second referendum and an online petition calling for one has been signed by more than four million people, although thousands of signatures were removed after it was hijacked by hackers.
Legally speaking, the petition would have to show a clear majority of the electorate now favoured Remain for a second referendum to be triggered, says the BBC's legal correspondent Clive Coleman.
The five Conservative leadership candidates have all said they would not hold a referendum on Britain's exit deal from the EU.
Work and pensions secretary Stephen Crabb, who campaigned for Remain, said the referendum was a "clear instruction to government" and there could be "no attempt to sidestep it".
Justice Secretary Michael Gove has said he would wait until at least 2017 to kick off the two-year process of negotiating the UK's withdrawal by invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.
Home Secretary Theresa May, who is seen as the frontrunner, has said the government should not invoke Article 50 before the end of the year.
But energy minister Andrea Leadsom says it should be triggered as quickly as possible, to remove economic uncertainty.
In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, former defence secretary Liam Fox pencilled in a date when the UK would leave the EU - 1 January 2019.
Mr Blair was also asked about immigration and the Labour leadership crisis on The World This Weekend.
He said there was not much more the UK could achieve by being out of the EU than it could from within and that it should explore options for what could be done without "having to eject ourselves from the entirety of the European Union".
But he said: "Even if you apply an Australian points system to European migration, you are going to get European migrants."
He would not be drawn into the debate over whether Jeremy Corbyn should stay or go as Labour leader, but said: "We have to have an opposition that holds the government to account."
Meanwhile, the former prime minister refused to comment on the long-awaited public inquiry into the Iraq War, which will be published on Wednesday.
The Chilcot report was launched in 2009 into the UK's participation in the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 - which led to the toppling of Saddam Hussein.
There have been calls for Mr Blair to apologise for his role in leading Britain into the war, in which 179 British service personnel were killed.
"I know why you have to ask me, and I hope you understand why, having spent several years saying I will wait for the report, I will actually wait for the report," he told the BBC.
Labour's John McDonnell also said he would not comment until the report was published - but refused to rule out calling for Mr Blair to be tried for war crimes over Iraq.
Former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said many MPs were "absolutely determined that account has to be held".
He said those MPs believed "you cannot have a situation where this country blunders into an illegal war with the appalling consequences" without "a judicial or political reckoning for that".
The world's fifth-richest person, worth $62.3b (£48.1b), famously dropped out of Harvard after launching the global social-networking website.
Mr Zuckerberg called for students to "not only create new jobs, but create a new sense of purpose".
Political experts think he may be positioning himself to run for office.
During his remarks on Thursday, Mr Zuckerberg told graduates that "we live in an unstable time".
"There's pressure to turn inwards," he said about those that feel left behind by increased globalisation.
"This is the struggle of our time. The forces of freedom, openness and global community against the forces of authoritarianism, isolationism and nationalism."
With his wife, Priscilla, in the audience, he pointed to the dormitory where he launched Facebook, and remarked that meeting her there was the best thing to happen to him at the university.
Before giving remarks, he received an honourary Doctor of Laws degree during Harvard's 366th graduation ceremony.
On Wednesday, he did a Facebook Live broadcast from his old dorm room.
"This is literally where I sat," he says, pointing to a small wooden desk and chair inside Kirkland House, which is due to be renovated over the summer.
"I had my little laptop here. And this is where I programmed Facebook," he tells the camera.
During his commencement address, Mr Zuckerberg told students: "There is something wrong with our system when I can leave here and make billions of dollars in ten years when millions of students can't afford to pay off their loans, let alone start a business."
"When you don't have the freedom to take your idea and turn it into a historic enterprise we all lose," he continued.
He told stories of meeting "children in juvenile detention and opioid addicts, who told me their lives could have turned out differently if they just had something to do".
The 33-year-old appeared to get choked up at one point during a story about an high school student who feared he would not be able to enroll in university because he was an undocumented immigrant.
More than 1.9 billion people log onto Facebook every day.
Since it's launch in 2004, Facebook has inspired many other social media competitors, including Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram.
In 2007 another Harvard drop-out returned for an honourary degree.
Bill Gates addressed students shortly after stepping down from the world's largest software company, Microsoft, to launch to focus on his charity.
Peter Robert Colwell, 18, died after an incident in the car park of the Ship Inn at Llanbedrog, near Pwllheli, on 5 February.
Four men in their 20s were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder, but those charges have since been dropped.
They will appear before magistrates on 31 August accused of firearms offences.
In a statement, the corporation says one reporter has been "attacked on social media by the mayor of Ankara for her coverage of the current protests".
On Sunday, Mayor Ibrahim Melih Gokcek described BBC Turkish reporter Selin Girit as an "English agent", launching a campaign against her on Twitter.
This triggered a counter-campaign which became Turkey's most trending topic.
In the statement on Monday, BBC Global News Director Peter Horrocks said that "a large number of threatening messages have been sent to one of our reporters".
He stressed that BBC journalists "are committed to providing impartial and independent journalism" and must not "be directly targeted in this way".
"There are established procedures for making comments and complaints about BBC output and we call on the Turkish authorities to use these proper channels," the statement added.
In a separate statement, Britain's National Union of Journalists (NUJ) said: "We want to send a strong message to Turkish authorities - it is simply not acceptable to target journalists in your turbulent times. We condemn the attempts to intimidate journalists and the threats must stop immediately."
Responding to the BBC accusations, Mr Gokcek said it was "unacceptable that Turkey is targeted by the BBC".
The mayor, a member of the ruling AK party of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, began the Twitter campaign against Ms Girit on Sunday, accusing her of trying to undermine the Turkish economy in her reporting.
He urged his followers to denounce the BBC journalist by sending tweets to the newly-created hashtag, which could be roughly translated as "Don't be an agent on behalf of England Selin Girit".
This soon became one of the most popular Twitter topics in Turkey.
But it also angered many people across the country. They countered by using the hashtag "Melih Gokcek is a provocateur ", which quickly rose to become the country's number one trending theme.
The mayor is now threatening to sue every user tweeting with the hashtag.
This is not the first time that the BBC and Turkey have clashed over the corporation's coverage of the continuing anti-government protests in Turkish cities.
Earlier this month, the corporation said it was suspending its partnership with Turkey's NTV television channel, following NTV's decision not to transmit the BBC current affairs programme Dunya Gundemi [World Agenda]".
The BBC said that "any interference in BBC broadcasting is totally unacceptable and at a time of considerable international concern about the situation in Turkey the BBC's impartial service to audiences is vital".
Tomkins, 24, left Wigan, where brothers Joel and Sam play, to link up with the Red Devils in July, and was an ever-present for Ian Watson's side.

"Logan stepped up to be our starting nine last season," Watson said.
"He does things across the park that don't always get seen but make a massive difference to the team.
"He's shown big improvements during his time here and I'm sure he can continue to develop in 2017."
These include doubling penalties for non-payment and disqualifying employers from being a company director for up to 15 years.
Employment Minister Nick Boles told the BBC the government was "very keen to step up enforcement".
The National Living Wage of £7.20 an hour comes into force in April 2016.
It will only apply to workers over the age of 25. The national minimum wage is currently £6.50 an hour, which will rise to £6.70 next month.
The tougher penalties for non-payment will be introduced alongside the government's National Living Wage in April next year.
Writing in the Times newspaper, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The National Living Wage will only work if it is properly enforced.
"Businesses are responsible for making that happen."
The government also announced plans to double the enforcement budget for non-payment and to set up a new team in HMRC to pursue criminal prosecutions for employers who deliberately do not pay workers the wage they are due.
Penalties for non-payment will be doubled, from 100% of arrears owed to 200%, although these will be halved if paid within 14 days. The maximum penalty will remain £20,000 per worker.
Mr Boles said the emphasis would be on ensuring workers are paid what they are owed.
"Most employers make a mistake and our priority is to make sure arrears are paid. Prosecutions will probably go up but they will remain a rare tool," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Last week, former Sainsbury's chief executive Justin King argued that the government's National Living Wage would "destroy jobs", saying that employers would seek to make their workforce more productive, which would lead to fewer jobs.
Mr Boles rejected these claims, saying that higher wages would lead to greater spending, which would ultimately lead to the creation of more jobs in the wider economy.
Sheikh Musa Admani told the BBC the Tarbiyah programme, used in English and Welsh prisons since 2011, could turn people towards violence and should be withdrawn.
A section of the programme is on jihad, and it says taking up arms to fight "evil" is "one of the noblest acts".
The Ministry of Justice will investigate issues raised by the BBC.
The BBC understands that the Tarbiyah programme was co-written by a number of imams and Ahtsham Ali, a prisons adviser to the Ministry of Justice.
Mr Ali declined to comment.
Another teaching course was withdrawn by the department last year because it was based on texts written by extremists.
One section of the Tarbiyah programme is called "The Principle of Jihad".
In it, the imam is asked to discuss with prisoners the difference between "internal jihad" - the struggle for self improvement - and "external jihad" - the struggle against the enemies of Allah, which sometimes involves taking up arms.
It says: "There may necessitate a time to pick up arms and physical [sic] fight such evil... It is one of the noblest acts."
The course follows this section with a verse from the Koran.
Although both kinds of jihad are presented in the text, one expert says too much focus is placed on fighting jihad.
Sheikh Musa Admani, a chaplain and expert in interpreting Islamic texts, has worked extensively on anti-radicalisation programmes in the UK and abroad.
"This document sets out the steps and then addresses various forms of jihad and then goes on to emphasise a particular type ie. the killing and the fighting", he says.
"It incites people to take up arms... It prepares people for violence. It could turn people when they come out of prison, supposedly rehabilitated, back into violence."
Sheikh Admani says the course should not continue to be taught in prisons.
"It hinders all the aims that the Ministry of Justice might have to achieve peace and harmony. This document works against it, it doesn't add an iota to that good intention and they need to remove it as quickly as possible and then rehabilitate those who have learnt it."
A former prison officer told the BBC some Muslim inmates at the high-security jail where he worked used to physically punish other Muslim prisoners for perceived misdemeanours.
"It wasn't just once, there were a number of occasions where prisoners' feet were severely battered," he said.
"Other incidents were prisoners being fined for not adhering to what they should be adhering to."
The prison officer said the "problem within prisons now is getting to a critical point", with "many Muslim prisoners basically taking over the law of the prison".
Elsewhere, a former inmate at Belmarsh prison said the failure of some prison imams to confront extremists in jail was part of a wider issue.
"They [imams] know individuals have the capability to manipulate younger, impressionable offenders but they sit idle and just don't respond to it", he said.
"How do I know they're not responding to it? I lived in and amongst these young impressionable guys and I saw the conveyor belt of radicalisation in full effect."
The former inmate said that although he had access to Salaam Peace, a community group, throughout his sentence, other prisoners were vulnerable to extremism while inside jail.
"People convicted of terrorism, people in the public domain that are very well known, are roaming around freely and being able to manipulate young minds.
"The fact they're able to learn the Tarbiyah programme and Arabic, coupled with the fact that inmates [convicted of terrorism] have access to extremist literature and narrations that aren't related to the prophet but they relate it to the prophet - coming from them it seems so realistic, you start believing this is the true Islam, the true Islam is [the militant group Islamic State] IS".
The Ministry of Justice will conduct an investigation into the issues raised by the BBC about the Tarbiyah programme.
In 2015 it appointed Ian Acheson to carry out an investigation into extremism and radicalisation in prisons. Publication of its findings has been delayed.
"Islamist extremism is one of the biggest threats facing this country", it said.
"That is why the justice secretary commissioned the first-ever review of Islamist extremism in prisons.
"As we have made clear, the report has been received and a summary document will be published in due course."
Marchers carrying placards and banners- many in the Catalan language - accused the Madrid government of dragging its feet over the issue.
They say it has not honoured its pledge made in 2015 to allow more than 17,000 refugees into Spain within two years.
Over that time, Spain has accepted only about 1,100 refugees.
Police gave the estimate of the turnout at Saturday's protest in the capital of Catalonia, organised by the Our Home is Your Home group, with many denouncing the government for not living up to its promises.
Protest organisers quoted by local media said that as many as 300,000 people took part.
The route took them from the Barcelona city centre to the Mediterranean coast - an end-point seen as highly symbolic given the fact that about 5,000 refugees are estimated to have perished in the sea in 2016.
One 62-year-old protester marching alongside his friends and family told the AFP news agency that the demonstration was triggered by the government's lacklustre response to the refugee crisis.
"We demand this minimum amount of dignity - that at least this number of refugees can come," Jacint Comelles said.
"In Catalonia, everything is ready to welcome them."
Child migrant’s body sparks soul searching in Spain
Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau participated in the march. She has been at the forefront of the campaign to lobby the Spanish government into accepting more refugees.
Spain is in many respects similar to other EU countries who have fallen below target when it comes to accepting refugees.
Germany however is a noticeable exception, allowing 890,000 asylum-seekers into the country in 2015 and another 280,000 the year after that.
The "clock is ticking fast" and efforts to end the crisis in The Gambia should intensify, the lawmakers added.
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari is due to visit The Gambia on Friday in a bid to broker a deal with Mr Jammeh.
His office has not yet commented on the vote by the lower chamber, the House of Representatives.
Property developer Adama Barrow, the winner of The Gambia's election, insists he will become president on 19 January when Mr Jammeh's term expires.
However, Mr Jammeh says he will remain in office until the Supreme Court rules on his bid to annul the 1 December poll.
He alleges that the election was marred by irregularities and he has demanded a new poll.
Nigeria's House of Representatives approved a motion, saying Mr Buhari should offer Mr Jammeh a "safe haven" in Nigeria to try to end the standoff peacefully.
This would be better than sending troops to remove Mr Jammeh from power, and seeing Gambians flee to neighbouring states, Speaker Yakubu Dogara said.
Analysis, Ibrahim Isa, BBC Hausa, Abuja
The vote by Nigeria's House of Representatives reflects growing concern about the crisis in The Gambia, which has never had a smooth transfer of power since independence from Britain in 1965.
MPs are worried about the future of the many Nigerians who work in the small West African state as civil servants and even as judges.
They are therefore pushing for a "soft landing" for Mr Jammeh, hoping that it will avert conflict.
MPs believe that the vote will give Mr Buhari a free hand to offer Mr Jammeh asylum when he goes to The Gambia on Friday.
But some MPs opposed the move, saying it will send the wrong message to autocratic leaders in their bid to escape justice.
Mr Jammeh seized power in a bloodless coup in 1994 and has been accused of human rights abuses.
He has regularly held elections, and his defeat in December came as a shock.
He initially accepted the result, but rejected it after the election commission changed some of the results.
Mr Barrow won 43.3% of the vote compared with Mr Jammeh's 39.6%. A third candidate, Mama Kandeh, got 17.1%.
Earlier this month, election commission chairman Alieu Momar Njai fled to neighbouring Senegal, saying he feared for his life.
The regional body Ecowas, the Economic Community of West African States, has warned it will send troops to The Gambia if its mediation efforts, led by Mr Buhari, fail to persuade Mr Jammeh to quit.
Mr Buhari's visit to The Gambia on Friday would be his second to the small country since the crisis broke out.
Nigeria has given asylum to former leaders in the past - most recently Liberia's former President Charles Taylor in 2003 as part of a deal to end Liberia's civil war.
He was caught trying to flee Nigeria in 2006, and was handed over to Liberia's new government.
A UN-backed court later convicted him of war crimes and he is currently in prison in the UK.
At least 36 people died and more than 1,500 others were injured in clashes between security forces and protesters.
Many have eye injuries after being hit by pellets fired by the forces and doctors say 100 people may lose vision.
Protests broke out in the Muslim-majority region after security forces killed a well-known militant leader.
Burhan Wani, 22, died in a gunfight with the Indian army on Friday.
The team of three eye specialists was sent from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), a leading Delhi hospital, to Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-administered Kashmir.
India's Health Minister JP Nadda said the doctors arrived in Srinagar on Wednesday.
Reports said the security forces used live ammunition and also pellets fired from shot-guns to chase away the tens of thousands of protesters who took to the streets in the valley, throwing rocks at troops and attacking police posts.
The pellets - made of rubber-encased steel - are meant to be non-lethal but doctors say they have caused serious head and eye injuries in many victims.
Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti made a televised appeal for calm following days of clashes. The violence is the worst seen in the region for years.
The violence has been condemned by Pakistan, which along with India claims Kashmir in its entirety, and there has been a sharp exchange between diplomats of both countries at the United Nations.
Kashmir has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years, sparking two wars between the countries.
Within the Muslim-majority territory, some militant groups have taken up arms to fight for independence from Indian rule or a merger with Pakistan.
The last bout of serious violence in the region was in the summer of 2010, when more than 100 people died in anti-India protests, which broke out after police shot dead a teenager.

Jackman has taken over the Dragons job in the summer and aims to restore pride in the struggling team.
"We want people to be proud to wear a Dragons jersey," said Jackman.
"There are too many Ospreys, Scarlets and Blues jerseys being worn in the region. That's our fault and we need to fix that."
Ex-Ireland international Jackman has been active on social media since taking the job to try to promote the region.
"We need to get the product right and it's how we interact with people," said Jackman. "We are not good enough to be stand-offish and when we are good enough, we shouldn't be stand-offish either.
"We should always be open and transparent. That's my vision for the region.
"We are starting at ground level. We have a chance to reunite the region and be proud of the Dragons."
Jackman admitted he faces a big task on the field to turn the Dragons' fortunes around.
"We have a lot of work to do," he said. "I don't want to mess around and say things are great. I have inherited a region and team needing a lot of work and support.
"I am excited by the potential, but we are starting off from 11th in the league and winning four games last year. That's not acceptable and there are reasons behind that record.
"We need significant change in how we prepare. There is probably not one area that's up to scratch."
The Dragons have suffered three heavy pre-season defeats to Montpellier (40-15), Northampton (71-21) and Exeter before their final pre-season match against Glasgow.
"We had a very tough fixture list," said Jackman. "I wanted to give everyone a chance and that's part of my mantra.
"Everyone gets a chance to play for the Dragons early doors to lay down a marker, after that you have to earn your game time.
"Some have taken a chance so far, some haven't."
Jackman is also hoping to learn some Welsh as he settles into his new home.
"I am going to start a course, but in pre-season I have not had much spare time," said Jackman.
"Welsh people are proud of their rugby and language. I had a decent level of Irish and picked up some fluent French.
"I am not saying I am going to be fluent in Welsh but would like to pick up some of the language.
"It's important to buy into the place you live. I want to do a course and then it's up to me to get my homework done." | A Powys opencast mine could be mothballed, resulting in 90 redundancies.

These gravitational waves were first proposed 100 years ago by Albert Einstein, as a key prediction of his Theory of General Relativity.
But in decades of searching they have never been detected, despite several years of operation from two huge laser instruments in the US and one in Italy.
Teams from the US detectors will speak in Washington DC at 15:30 GMT Thursday.
Speculation is rife that they will announce the detection of gravitational waves by both the US instruments, which together make up the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (Ligo).
"It is so exciting if this really is the first clear detection, as we're expecting," Dr Carolin Crawford from Cambridge University told the BBC's Today programme. "It will really mark a new era for astronomy."
Gravitational waves are concentric ripples that squeeze and stretch the fabric of space-time. They are caused by the movement of mass, but most are so weak that they have no measurable effect.
For current technology to glimpse them, we need to find the waves - still incredibly subtle - that are radiating across the cosmos from extremely violent events, like explosions or collisions involving stars or black holes.
At each Ligo detector, a laser beam is split in two and sent down identical, perpendicular 4km tunnels - then reflected back again. The two arms work like rulers, at right angles, made of light.
If a gravitational wave throbs past, light in one of those beams will travel further than light in the other - by a tiny, tiny fraction of the width of an atom.
Ligo's two stations are 3,000km apart in the states of Louisiana and Washington - allowing them to compare notes on the timing and apparent direction of any such disturbance.
Rumours have been circulating for weeks that both instruments had indeed picked up a signal, and that researchers were working on a paper about the discovery.
It was only in September 2015 that these detectors went back into operation, after a $200m upgrade that saw the facility redubbed Advanced Ligo and dramatically boosted its sensitivity.
Its first run, from 2002-2010, had drawn a blank.
Similarly, the Virgo instrument in Italy - built according to the same design - closed in 2011 after an empty-handed four years of "listening".
That project's next incarnation, Advanced Virgo, is due to start work later in 2016.
If detection of these waves is now a reality, astronomers have a very powerful new tool for studying the universe - especially once three detectors are online, allowing the source of the ripples to be triangulated.
Gravitational waves will join the myriad types of light, plus some particles like neutrinos, that scientists already use to probe the far reaches of the universe.
Crucially, because they travel straight through matter, nothing can obscure the source of these waves - there are no shadows. And they could offer an unparalleled "view" of objects that don't emit light, like black holes.
This is why gravitational astronomy has been described as listening to, rather than looking at, the cosmos.
Tuck Stebbins, from Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center, told the AFP news agency that gravitational waves could even be a window - in fact, the only possible window - on the origin of the universe.
"These waves are streaming to you all the time and if you could see them, you could see back to the first one trillionth of a second of the Big Bang," he said.

The accident happened on the Aberdeen to Fraserburgh road near Mintlaw early on Tuesday.
A 32-year-old man was taken to hospital.
Police Scotland said a 35-year-old man had been charged and was expected to appear at Peterhead Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
Carol Hawkins, 48, was last week convicted on 181 counts of theft from the bassist's bank accounts over a four-year period.
Clayton was not in court for the sentencing.
The judge said Hawkins' crimes were "rooted in greed and nothing else".
Judge Patrick McCartan said: "Nothing, frankly, could explain away the scale of this dishonesty other than the greed in pursuit of a lavish lifestyle that was no responsibility of Mr Clayton's."
He said the fact Ms Hawkins had maintained her innocence throughout the trial was a factor in his sentencing and suggested if given an opportunity to commit a similar crime in the future, he was not entirely confident she would resist.
"Whether she was a fool or clever person really matters very little," he said.
The jury at the Circuit Criminal Court in Dublin returned an unanimous verdict on each individual count after deliberating for more than five hours last week.
Ms Hawkins, who has always protested her innocence, had been freed on bail until sentencing.
Speaking after the verdict was delivered, Mr Clayton said he was pleased with the verdict and thanked his legal team.
Rahul, from Barnet in north London, impressed quizmaster Richard Osman by answering questions such as: "What is the scientific name for apricot?"
Rahul has an IQ of 162, which qualifies him to be a member of Mensa.
Twenty contestants aged eight to 12 will be whittled down to one winner over the course of a week.
Rahul also achieved full marks in a spelling test, correctly reciting the letters in words like garrulous, accouchement, and hyponatraemia (low level of sodium in the blood).
In a timed memory round, he answered 14 questions out of 15 correctly, but did not have time to answer the final question. He scored higher than any other participant.
Contestants will have their knowledge of maths tested on Tuesday.
Rahul's father, IT manager Menish, said: "As a comparison Rahul is as clever as Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking."
Rahul, who says his favourite language is Latin, said: "I think I'm a genius.
"I'm good at mental maths, general knowledge and I find it quite easy to memorise stuff."

On Twitter, Stacy Aplin wrote: "Rahul is my new favourite person. He's such a CUTIE! #ChildGenius."
Dan Williamson wrote: "Fabio and Rahul are on another level, they will go far. #ChildGenius."
Although Rahul received the highest marks in the first round of the knowledge show, he was not the only person to capture the public's imagination.
Brother and sister Fabio and Olivia also sparked debate, while their ambitious mother Susan was the source of some amusement.
During the hour-long show Susan described herself as a "helicopter mum" who pushed her children to excel.
In an unorthodox move, the stay-at-home mum openly favoured her nine-year-old son Fabio over 12-year-old Olivia.
She said: "I love my daughter dearly, but I'm rooting for Fabio."

Both siblings made it to the second round.
Twitter user Ruthie Gignell said: "The hardest thing about watching #ChildGenius was the heartbreaking, blatant favouritism Fabio and Olivia's mother showed towards her son."
Although the show has been criticised for putting children under pressure, the host said he "didn't mind people going through a bit of trauma".
"I don't mind people going through difficulty," Osman told the Radio Times.
"I don't mind people crying. Because that happens in life."
Having resumed on 339-3, Luke Wells went on to make 155 and Luke Wright finished on 87 before Sussex finally declared on 579-8.
David Wiese (66) and Michael Burgess (46) also weighed in down the order.
But the Worcestershire openers remained unparted in the 44 overs they faced before the close, Daryl Mitchell leading the way with 85 out of 139-0.
After Sussex had declared 12 overs before tea, Mitchell, chasing a third first-innings ton in as many games, was well supported by Brett D'Oliveira's 43.
This is their second century opening partnership in three matches, having also put on 243 in the win over Derbyshire - and both have already survived missed chances.
Earlier, Worcestershire captain Joe Leach finished with 3-101, while Ed Barnard took 3-120 and Australian Test spinner Nathan Lyon toiled 40 overs in all to take 1-123.
Sussex coach Mark Davis:
"Luke Wells did superbly again for his 155 but all the way down the order there were good contributions. It was hard work at the start but Harry Finch set the innings up for us and it was great to see Luke Wright in the runs again, playing with freedom.
"I must admit I did expect the ball to do a bit more on that wicket than it has. We bowled well and made good use of the short ball but their openers have got stuck in.
"We can still win the game, definitely. They're still a long way off the follow-on target and the second day at Hove is normally the best day for batting. We'll dust ourselves down and go again."
Worcestershire bowling coach Matt Mason told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"We've come out of the day really well. When you've been in the field for nearly 150 overs that's tough, so for Daryl and Brett to come out and bat in the way they did was outstanding.
"Sussex bowled really well with the new ball. It was tough to get through it. One or two balls misbehaved at the sea end, but the wicket is still pretty good.
"When you concede the score we did there is always going to be pressure but we have responded and hopefully we can build on it. They have given us a good chance of getting something out of this game."

Scientists say the deadly pathogen appears to have been around for hundreds rather than thousands of years.
Viral DNA from the mummified remains of a child living during the 17th Century - at the time of an epidemic - casts doubt on historical records.
Smallpox was thought to date back millennia.
However, past descriptions have been based on physical signs, such as a pustular rash, which can be confused with other diseases.
''We managed to sequence the complete genome of the virus that causes smallpox, that's called variola virus,'' Dr Edward Holmes of the University of Sydney told BBC News.
''It's the oldest human virus ever sequenced.''
The researchers obtained permission to study samples of the pathogen from a child interred in the crypt of a church in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Radiocarbon dating shows the child lived about 1650 AD, at a time when smallpox was common in Europe.
''This mummy allows us to calibrate very nicely the clock of evolution - it's a fossil, effectively,'' said Dr Holmes.
''This fossil tells us that in fact evolutionary history is much more recent than we thought before - it's actually only hundreds of years rather than thousands of years.''
However, it is not possible to determine where smallpox came from, what the ancestor of the virus was, and exactly when it first appeared in humans, he added.
Source: WHO
The child lived at a time when smallpox was spreading around the world, driven by global exploration and colonisation.
This was before the development of vaccination, which began after the famous experiments of Edward Jenner in 1796.
''What we can show is that in fact most of the evolution of smallpox that we can measure occurred after 1796,'' said Dr Holmes.
''It looks like it is a more recent evolution than we ever thought before.''
The disease was officially eradicated in 1980, following a global immunisation campaign.
Smallpox remains the only human disease eradicated by vaccination.
Prof Jonathan Ball of Nottingham University, who was not connected with the study, said it shows ''pretty conclusively'' that smallpox viruses present in human outbreaks for which we have samples share a common ancestor that probably dates back to the late 16th to mid-17th centuries.
However, he said, the question remains as to whether outbreaks occurred before that date, caused by strains that were never seen again.
''Only access to, and analysis of, even older samples will answer that; but these are difficult to find and difficult to work with, so perhaps we will never know.''
The research is published in the journal, Current Biology.
Lisburn Glass Group Ltd was established in 1971 and operated from a factory in the Blaris industrial estate.
Gareth Latimer and Stephen Tennant of Grant Thornton have been appointed joint administrators.
Mr Latimer said: "The business has ceased trading and all employees have been made redundant."
He added: "We have been working with the directors since the start of the year and reviewed the options available, but creditor pressure has increased, leaving the directors with no alternative but to seek the protection of an administration appointment."
The administrators will be "carrying out a sales process in order to maximise value for creditors".
On its website, Lisburn Glass said that during its 45 years in business it had "developed a national reputation in the industrial and commercial glazing market".
It added it was "involved in major contracts throughout the UK and Ireland", manufacturing and supplying products from its 40,000 sq ft factory.
The search firm's sister company Waymo has created a free "early rider" programme in Phoenix, Arizona.
Hundreds of families are expected to take part. Waymo has equipped a fleet of 500 minivans with its self-driving technology to handle ride requests.
The company said testers could ride any time across a test zone in Phoenix twice the size of San Francisco.
The test is the first, large-scale public trial of a driverless car system.
In a blog John Krafcik, Waymo's chief executive, said it had been doing small-scale tests of its riding service with a few Phoenix families for the past month.
Now, he said, it wanted more testers, with "diverse backgrounds and transportation needs".
"We'll learn things like where people want to go in a self-driving car, how they communicate with our vehicles, and what information and controls they want to see inside," wrote Mr Krafcik.
Those applying to take part must be over 18 and live inside the large test region, which forms part of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area.
The cars will not be entirely autonomous, as Arizona laws governing the use of autonomous vehicles demand a test driver be behind the wheel to take control in the event of problems or collisions.
Google's Waymo has been one of the most aggressive developers of autonomous car driving technology and services.
The company's robot cars have now driven more than 2.5 million miles on public roads without human help.
The cars have also been involved in 14 collisions while logging those miles.
As well as fitting out existing cars with sensing and navigations systems, Waymo has also developed its own small, two-seater vehicles.
For the Phoenix test, Google will use Chrysler Pacifica minivans.
The news of the test project comes a day after the UK announced plans to get driverless cars tested on public roads and motorways by 2019.
It also comes as the Wall Street Journal revealed Amazon has been working on autonomous car services for more than 12 months.
The strategy concentrates on international terrorism and potential threats to the Olympic Games.
Support for dissident republican terrorists in NI remains low, it says.
But it notes the frequency of attacks within Northern Ireland has increased significantly from 22 in 2009 to 40 in 2010, and 16 attacks so far this year.
It claims many more attacks have been successfully disrupted.
Whilst the level of the terrorist threat within Northern Ireland is rated as severe, in Great Britain the threat level is considered substantial, meaning there is a strong possibility of an attack.
The document says the number of terrorist-related arrests in Northern Ireland was 98% higher in 2010 than in 2009.
The arrests rose from 106 in 2009 to 210 in 2010. Those 316 arrests led to 97 charges between January 2009 and December 2010.
However the strategy document only lists nine convictions for terrorist offences over the same period.
It says the number of arrests for Northern Ireland-related terrorism in Great Britain over the same period was relatively small - dropping from six arrests in 2009 to one arrest in 2010.
One of the initiatives the government is considering for tackling terrorism is to allow post-charge questioning in cases where further substantial evidence emerges after charges have been brought.
The Home Office says it will work with the Stormont government to ensure any changes are compliant with the legal system in Northern Ireland.
The strategy states that significant additional funding has already been given to the PSNI to build its capabilities to investigate and disrupt terrorist attacks over the next four years.
It adds that a significant percentage of security service operational resources will remain devoted to Northern Ireland-related terrorism.
Transport NI is in charge of the work, and have had their budget cut from around £40m to £12.8m.
The document, circulated among senior managers and seen by The BBC's Nolan Show, outlines how they are going to cope with the limited amount of money for day-to-day maintenance spend.
They say grass verges will only be cut once a year.
Gullies will only be cleared when a problem is reported.
No more maintenance will be carried out on motorway bridges, and if a problem occurs then the road will simply be closed.
No extra money has been earmarked for winter maintenance.
They say no-one will be looking out for broken street lights, and defects on rural roads won't even be reported.
Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy said they had to prioritise road defects, and that meant roads with more traffic "will obviously receive greater priority".
He explained that Transport NI have taken the brunt of the cuts within DRD to preserve essential services like NI Water, but it is not a decision he wants to take.
"We need to address the situation, but the best way is to sort this out at the Executive to deal with the issues that are complicating things about welfare reform that is costing the Executive £2m," he said.
"£2m would go a long way in addressing the problems that confront me at the moment."
The letter explains that the cuts mean 500 staff will have to stay in depots because there is not enough money for fuel, equipment, or maintenance of vehicles.
The minister says that is not the case at the moment, but Gareth Scott from the trade union Unite says restrictions are already in place.
"An example would be fuel," he said. "It has now been rationed to 35 litres per vehicle, per depot, per week.
"Once that runs out, the vehicle has been parked up until the following week until the next ration comes. That's ridiculous for a Western country."
Another monitoring round is taking place within the next few weeks.
The minister is bidding for more money for his department at that stage.
However, the impact of the cuts is already being felt on the roads, the verges, and the pavements.
Ollie disappeared in July 2013 while his owners were abroad on holiday.
The Bailey family started searching for their pet but were beginning to lose hope as the months passed.
However, a cat found in St Fergus - about five miles from where he went missing - has been confirmed as Ollie thanks to a microchip.
Owner Adele Bailey, 37, said they lived in Peterhead at the time Ollie went missing.
Now reunited at their new home in Turriff, she told the BBC Scotland news website: "It is all a bit surreal - it's just unbelievable.
"We did posters and did searches for about a year. We were getting possible sightings.
"However I was starting to think on the dark side and that we had lost him."
Mrs Bailey explained: "We got a call from the St Fergus area about a cat that was coming round.
"With the help of Cats Protection he was scanned and it was his chip.
"We jumped straight in the car.
"He was straight up on my knee purring.
"He's come back fatter - he's not gone without a feed. I cannot believe how well he is looking. And he's back playing with his favourite catnip mouse toy.
"He'll be staying in the house for a few weeks now."
She added: "We would not have been reunited if Ollie had not had that chip."
The Women and Equalities Committee will examine who is committing the offences, who is being targeted, and whether the number of cases is rising.
Research for the committee suggests sexualised behaviour among pupils is a social norm.
Heads say most schools and colleges are safe and secure environments.
In September 2015, a BBC News report based on freedom of information requests revealed there were 5,500 sexual offences recorded in UK schools between 2011 and 2014.
Within these figures, there were 4,000 alleged physical sexual assaults and more than 600 rapes, according to the information from UK police forces.
At least a fifth of offences were carried out by children on children, but details of the rest of the assaults are not known.
The committee wants teachers, students, parents and youth organisations to share their experiences and knowledge with it.
Before launching a call for evidence, the committee gathered the views and experiences of 300 UK youngsters through a series of workshops with young people's charity Fixers.
Rosie, which isn't her real name, is from Wales. She says a girl started stalking her initially but things got much worse.
"She wanted a hug and I didn't want anything to do with her. She didn't like that," she says. "So she grabbed me and pinned me up against the wall, and touched me in my private areas.
"I felt like I was trying to struggle to break free, but she was quite strong. Eventually she was pulled off me. It felt like a long time, but it was over quite quickly."
Rosie says she didn't report the assault for a long time because she struggled to make sense of it.
"I remember feeling quite embarrassed and I didn't really want to talk about it at the time with anyone. I felt ashamed and quite disgusted really."
When she did eventually report it to the school, Rosie says teachers disciplined the attacker but did not offer her enough support.
"It's affected my self-esteem. I'm quite scared that something like that will happen again," she says.
Read more about Rosie's story in BBC Newsbeat's article.
Its report says: "In school corridors and playgrounds, sexually charged behaviour drives young people's physical interactions and permeates through to their 24-hour-a-day life online.
"They're feeling pressurised into sex, otherwise they're branded 'frigid' by their peers.
"There is a sense that boys have an 'entitlement' to girls and some report 'being bullied for being a virgin'."
The report suggests some teachers brush off incidents of sexual assault because of the relatively young age of students.
And often schools do not recognise the pressures young people can face when dealing with sexual harassment and sexual bullying.
It also suggests many incidents are not reported because students worry victims will be punished as well as perpetrators.
Maria Miller, who chairs the committee, said the evidence it had heard exposed a "really concerning problem" of "widespread sexual harassment on a regular basis", particularly among young women.
However, she said, it was also concerning that school authorities found it difficult to know how to tackle these issues and "sometimes brush them under the carpet".
"We need to address this issue now, and stop it from blighting the lives of another generation of young people - both male and female," she said.
A spokeswoman for the Department for Education said: "Schools are safe places and fortunately crime in schools is very rare but sexual assault of any kind is an offence and must always be reported to the police.
"Sex and relationship education is already compulsory in all maintained secondary schools and we expect academies and free schools to teach it as part of the curriculum.
"We are also working with leading head teachers and practitioners to look at how to raise the quality of PSHE [personal, social, health and economic] teaching, which includes sex and relationship education."
Evidence to the committee also suggests pupils would like more support in dealing with sexting, online bullying and the normalisation of pornography.
Malcolm Trobe, interim general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "Sexual harassment and sexual violence are completely unacceptable and are not tolerated.
"Where there are incidents, we would urge students and parents to report them immediately so that action can be taken.
"We welcome the committee's inquiry as any information about this important issue is extremely useful in helping to tackle the problem."
Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, also welcomed the inquiry, saying young people were not being given the tools they needed to understand how to navigate the bombardment of images and messages they get from places like online pornography.
She said there was a "widespread difficulty" in reporting sexual violence.
There were cases in schools of young women being pressurised or forced into sexual acts or sexting and the school punishing them as well as the perpetrators, she said.
"We do also hear from girls who report this type of harassment or even unwanted sexual touching to teachers only to be told, 'Boys will be boys,' or, 'He probably just likes you.'"
It saw the cull as part of a comprehensive plan that would eradicate tuberculosis in the cattle herds of the region, a disease that cost taxpayers £24m in 2008.
Opinions split after cull stopped
Now, following a judgement in the Court of Appeal in London, the cull is on hold - perhaps permanently.
The assembly government says it is considering its options.
And although the Badger Trust says it has a written pledge from the assembly government that it will not appeal, Wales' Chief Veterinary Officer Christianne Glossop told BBC News on exiting the court: "it isn't over".
If the assembly government still intends to go forward, it could appeal to the Supreme Court, or it could construct a new control order that aims to get round the points on which the Court of Appeal made its ruling.
The Badger Trust appealed on three grounds, which essentially boiled down to these:
On the third point, the three judges were unanimous - the assembly government was in error.
But the assembly government had conceded as much before the judgement, and was preparing to launch an amended control order within days.
The first two points, which are far more significant, split the judges.
Two agreed with the Badger Trust on both points, while the third agreed with the assembly government.
Lord Justice Stanley Burnton - one of those siding with the Badger Trust - left the door open for Rural Affairs Minister Elin Jones to get round the balance question, simply by presenting a case showing that harm to badgers had been considered when drawing up the control order.
"Had she done so, this ground would have failed," he opined.
However, Ms Jones and Dr Glossop may find it harder to counter the most fundamental argument of all - that badger culling would not make a substantial cut in the incidence of bovine TB.
The scientific study of most use here is the Randomised Badger Culling Trial (RBCT, also known as the Krebs trial) - a vast UK study that saw 11,000 badgers killed in the name of finding out whether culling can be an effective control strategy.
Essentially, the answer was "no".
Reactive culling - killing badgers when there was a TB outbreak - made things worse.
Proactive culling - trying to wipe them out from areas irrespective of TB incidence - made things better inside the cull zone, but worse in a ring just outside.
It's from the balance of the two effects in the proactive arm that the 9% figure arose.
Follow-up research on the Krebs sites is still going on, because finding out how along any effect lasts for is clearly important.
As the years go by, you might expect the effects to subside. But the evidence is not entirely clear.
In February this year, the Krebs team published a scientific paper showing that by July 2009, the benefit of proactive culling appeared to have disappeared.
But by the end of 2009, it had apparently come back.
One of these findings is presumably an anomaly.
But finding out which, and painting the true picture, will take yet more follow-up research; and in the meantime, it is going to be impossible for WAG to argue that culling will produce a more substantial impact than a 9% reduction.
Dr Glossop has spoken approvingly of the experience in New Zealand, whose government is also trying to wipe out bovine TB, largely through a wildlife cull.
But the carrier in New Zealand is not the badger but the possum.
Ecologically, badgers and possums are absolutely not the same. If anyone in the assembly government or any farmers in Wales ever presumed that a New Zealand approach could just be transplanted to Wales, they were wrong scientifically - and, perhaps, ethically.
Introduced from Australia for the fur trade, New Zealand possum numbers soared to about 70 million by the 1980s.
They are culled by lacing carrots with a potent toxin called 1080 and strewing them across the land. Other wildlife are poisoned in the process.
It is a controversial programme, even in a country where some people will happily rig amateur traps for possums and shoot them for fun.
Did Dr Glossop and the assembly government ministers underestimate the level of opposition that might arise when they proposed culling not a pesky alien invader but an iconic native mammal?
Any new control order would have to go through the Welsh Assembly. Given the unrest that has been documented in the prospective cull region and further afield, will assembly members have the political appetite?
That's one way in which the stars appear to be aligning themselves against Elin Jones and the other cull proponents - and against those in the Westminster government who, like Agriculture Minister James Paice, have been itching to get started in England.
As time goes by, the evidence for a sustained effect of culling is likely to weaken. And TB rates in Pembrokeshire would be expected to fall as the other measures taken by the assembly government come into effect, including enhanced biosecurity on farms and additional testing of cattle.
Meanwhile, vaccinating badgers becomes a nearer-term prospect, with trials underway in the Irish Republic and poised to begin in England.
Even the Irish government, which endorsed culling nearly a decade ago, does not see killing badgers as a TB eradication tool. For that, it says, an effective vaccine is needed.
Another question is how North Pembrokeshire farmers will react now.
It is an open secret that silent (and illegal) killing of badgers goes on, and not just in Wales.
It is an understandable reaction from a human point of view. But scientifically, it is just about the worst thing a farmer could do.
"The science says it'll make the problem worse," says Dr Rosie Woodroffe, one of the scientists on the Krebs trial who is now based at the Zoological Society of London.
"Small-scale illegal killing will work like reactive culling and will increase the incidence of cattle TB, as it disrupts badgers' social structure, making them range further afield and transmit the bacterium to more badgers and more cattle."
Napoli are top going into the last Group B game but have not won their past three matches in the competition.
The Italian side will go out if they lose in Portugal and Besiktas win at Dynamo Kiev, who cannot advance.
"We've got to focus on winning and not defending a draw," said Sarri.
A draw will be enough for Napoli as they beat Benfica 4-2 in Naples on 28 September. Their other win came against Kiev on 13 September, but since then they have taken one point from two games against Besiktas and been held at home in the return fixture against Kiev.
Sarri added: "It's not going to be a walk in the park in Lisbon for us, but it's not going to be for them either. The last 20 minutes could be decisive."

Lawro's opponent for the final round of Premier League fixtures is actor Ben Hardy, star of the new X-Men film.
Hardy, 25, used to play Peter Beale in BBC soap EastEnders but supports a north London team - Arsenal - and it is fair to say he has not enjoyed watching the Gunners fall away in the title race again this season.
"I am sick of it, it feels like Groundhog Day," he told BBC Sport.
"I have got a lot of respect for Arsene Wenger but, reluctantly, I am in the 'Wenger Out' campaign.
"I think it is a case of 'thanks for the memories, but let's move on'."

Ben needs to score more than 160 points to knock stand-up comedian Nathan Caton off the top of the guest leaderboard.
Lawro's final league table - based on his predictions - can be seen at the bottom of the page.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
Last weekend, Lawro got three correct results, including two perfect scores from 10 Premier League matches, to give him a total of 90 points.
He lost out to two-time world darts champion Adrian 'Jackpot' Lewis, who got four results correct, with two perfect scores.
Lawro also picked up 60 points from his predictions for the four midweek Premier League games (see 19:30 BST entry of Tuesday's live text commentary).His opponent for those matches, world champion boxer Anthony Joshua, did not make any predictions for these games, which were postponed from FA Cup semi-final weekend, but has been awarded 20 points based on his existing points-per-match average, which was 30 points from six matches (five points per match).

The unfortunate creature did not survive the encounter with a high-voltage transformer at the site near Geneva in Switzerland.
The LHC was running when a "severe electrical perturbation" occurred in the early hours of Friday morning.
A spokesman for Cern said that the weasel did not get into the tunnels, just the electrical facilities.

Large Hadron Collider discovers new pentaquark particle
Arnaud Marsollier told the BBC that it would take a few days to repair the damage caused by the weasel's visit.
He added that while it was, fortunately, not every day that an animal affected the equipment, it was not that surprising as the research facility is in the countryside.
In 2009 the LHC was taken out by what was suspected to be a bird, though no remains were found.
Such "small issues" with the equipment were all part of the running of the LHC, Mr Marsollier said, and experts were used to carrying out repairs.
Cern's own report on the incident says that the weasel got into a 66kV transformer. The transformer connections were damaged.
"Not the best week for LHC!" it says.

About 70 more people are being treated in hospital and there are fears that the death toll could rise further.
Residents of villages close to the city of Cuttack fell ill after consuming alcohol spiked with chemicals used in the manufacture of some medicines.
Deaths from contaminated alcohol are a regular occurrence in India.
The Orissa government has ordered a judicial investigation into the incident and nine people, including eight liquor sellers, have been arrested.
The illegal alcohol - commonly called desi daroo or country-made liquor in India - usually costs as little as 10 rupees (20 US cents) and the majority of the consumers are poor, daily-wage workers.
The tainted liquor can lead to fits, vomiting and death.
Orissa has witnessed many incidents of toxic alcohol deaths. Nearly 200 people died in Cuttack in 1992 after consuming a deadly combination of methyl and ethyl alcohol. In 2009, 33 people died in two separate incidents in Khurda district after consuming country liquor.
It is a wider problem across India too:
Correspondents say that Gujarat has taken the strongest action on toxic liquor with a new law making the illegal manufacture and sale of toxic alcohol there punishable by death. It says the law was intended to deter those involved in the illegal trade.
Gujarat, Mizoram and Nagaland are the only states in India where alcohol is totally prohibited by law.
In less than 48 hours last week, Mr Arce and his fellow Paraguayans witnessed a swift impeachment process that removed President Fernando Lugo and installed vice-president Federico Franco as interim leader until elections due in April.
Congress voted almost unanimously to remove Mr Lugo over his handling of clashes between farmers and police that left at least 17 people dead.
Although the impeachment adhered to the country's constitution, the move has threatened to isolate the South American nation from its neighbours.
The left-leaning presidents of Argentina, Bolivia and Venezuela called Mr Lugo's removal "a coup".
Many countries, including right-leaning Chile and Colombia, also recalled their ambassadors for consultations.
This Friday, the diplomatic and economic weight of two regional groupings could be brought to bear on Paraguay.
The Union of South American nations, Unasur, has scheduled an extraordinary meeting to discuss the crisis.
This coincides with the routine meeting of presidents of the South American trading bloc, Mercosur, in the Argentine city of Mendoza, at which developments in Paraguay will be a priority.
Possible economic sanctions on the new government are high on the agenda, and even an expulsion from the bloc will be debated.
Mercosur, which comprises fellow founders Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, as well as several associate members, has already suspended Paraguay "because of a rupture in the democratic order".
"Paraguay's economy strongly depends on the trade links with its neighbours," says economist Fernando Masi, who believes sanctions could hit hard.
Last year, more than half of Paraguay's exports, worth some $2.8bn (£1.8bn), went to Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
Almost double this amount was imported by Paraguay from the three countries, according to official data.
"As a member of Mercosur, Paraguay can export to other nations in the bloc without paying custom duties, but if expelled, it would have to pay the standard 14% tariff for non-members," says Mr Masi.
The competitiveness of Paraguayan goods in the region would be affected, with potentially damaging effects on its businesses, he says.
In the last two years, Paraguay has had one of the fastest-growing economies in the region, based mainly on commodity exports, and in particular soy bean and beef.
"Paraguay is very vulnerable to any type of sanctions as it does not have sea access, leaving it highly dependent on its neighbours for exporting and importing," says political analyst Milda Rivarola.
The political events of the past week have left many in the capital, Asuncion, shocked and some furious.
"What happened goes against the rules of democracy. I did not like Lugo but they should have allowed him to end the term he won in free elections," said Asuncion resident Maria Teresa.
"This is definitely a coup. If it was the people who voted him into office, it should be the people that vote him out," said Shirley, who also lives in the capital.
Mr Lugo accepted the impeachment, stressing to his supporters that he did not want any bloodshed.
There have been some small demonstrations in the capital against his dismissal.
Farmers' organisations, a key part of Mr Lugo's political base, have also announced further actions.
The newly appointed government has defended the way he was removed.
In his first meeting with the foreign media, Mr Franco stressed that there had been "no coup or breakdown in the democratic order. We respect our country's constitution".
The Paraguayan constitution establishes an impeachment procedure in the event that an elected leader is accused of criminal actions.
And there is support for the new government.
"I think that this is a good thing, because he (Mr Lugo) was not doing a good job," said Asuncion local Severiana.
Francisco Capli, who heads market-research firm First Analysis, also rejects accusations that there was a coup.
Paraguay, he says, remains marked by having a military ruler, Gen Alfredo Stroessner, in power for almost 36 years until 1988.
"When democracy returned, a new constitution was drafted with the aim of giving strong powers to parliament, seeking to avoid the concentration of power in one figure," said Mr Capli.
Since assuming office in 2008, as Paraguay's first elected left-wing president, Mr Lugo had lost most allies in Congress.
It also emerged that the former Roman Catholic bishop had fathered at least two children, which enraged many in a highly religious society.
Many of his own supporters also criticised him for his perceived lack of policies to aid landless farmers.
"If we had a parliamentary system Mr Lugo's government would have fallen long ago," Mr Capli said.
Mr Lugo is the first elected Paraguayan leader to be impeached.
The full consequences of this for Paraguay remain to be seen.
He is one of a number of elite riders confirmed to be taking part in the event next month.
The opening stage of the Tour of Britain runs through Scotland on 4 September this year.
Cavendish will be joined by sprinter André Greipel and former World Hour Record holder Rohan Dennis.
The Isle of Man rider, who has 30 stage victories in the Tour de France, won his first Olympic medal on Tuesday taking silver in the Omnium track event.
The Tour of Britain will be his first race after the Olympics.
Race director Mick Bennett said: "In Mark Cavendish and André Greipel we have two of the world's top sprinters, who are both already multiple Tour of Britain stage winners.
"We are delighted that BMC Racing Team will be bringing two outstanding time trialists in Rohan Dennis and Taylor Phinney to the race.
"This is the first of several exciting rider announcements that fans can look forward to and will build excitement for what will be another world-class edition of the Tour of Britain."
The inquiry chaired by Sir John Chilcot had hoped to begin contacting those likely to be criticised in its report this autumn, to allow them to respond.
But it said it had not yet agreed with the government over the publication of the most "difficult documents".
The inquiry began its work in 2009.
In a statement on the inquiry's website, Sir John said the next phase of its work was "dependent on the satisfactory completion of discussions between the inquiry and the government on disclosure of material that the inquiry wishes to include in its report or publish alongside it".
He added: "Since June this year the inquiry has submitted 10 requests covering some 200 cabinet-level discussions, 25 notes from Mr Blair to President Bush and more than 130 records of conversations between either Mr Blair or Mr [Gordon] Brown and President Bush.
"The inquiry secretariat has responded to a number of Cabinet Office questions on those requests, but the government and the inquiry have not reached a final position on the disclosure of these more difficult categories of document."
Sir John has written to Prime Minister David Cameron to express his regret that no agreement has yet been reached.
In his reply, the prime minister acknowledged the progress that had been made and said he was "aware of the scale of the task declassification has presented to a number of government departments".
He added: "I appreciate consideration of the disclosure requests for the remaining sensitive categories of information must be handled sensitively and carefully but I hope that consideration of the final sets of papers can be concluded as soon as possible."
A spokeswoman for No 10 said she had nothing to add to the prime minister's letter. The Cabinet Office has released a statement saying "discussions are continuing between the government and the inquiry about the disclosure of records".
BBC political correspondent Carole Walker said this was the latest in a series of delays to the long-running inquiry.
The inquiry, which is examining the background to the UK's involvement in the 2003 invasion and its aftermath, has never set a firm deadline for publishing its final report - set to be about a million words long.
However, it was initially expected to be published in 2012.
They estimate Scottish farms will produce 3.3 million tonnes of cereals - including two million tonnes of barley and one million tonnes of wheat.
The rise in production was attributed to an expected 5% improvement in overall yields.
This is despite a 4% decrease in the total area of land sown.
The figures released are provisional estimates.
Oats have seen the largest estimated rise in production, increasing by about 17% to 180,000 tonnes.
Just over a million tonnes of wheat are expected, up from 990,000 tonnes last year, while winter barley production is expected to rise from 410,000 to 430,000 tonnes.
Oilseed rape crops have seen a small production rise from 148,000 to 151,000 tonnes.
Spring barley is the only major cereal crop to see reduced production this year, with wheat replacing barley in some areas.
Production is expected to fall by about 100,000 tonnes to 1.57 million tonnes.
Despite high production volumes overall, industry exports raised concerns over grain quality at the Scottish government's annual crop report meeting.
It heard that the 2015 harvest was late to start and, once underway, was halted several times by poor weather conditions.
This was found to have restricted crop development, which contributed to reduced grain quality in some cases.
Rural Affair Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "This year's cereal harvest estimates are testament to the professionalism and hard work of Scotland's farmers.
"They are a great achievement, especially considering the poor growing conditions we have had in Scotland, with some parts of the country experiencing the wettest summer in a century.
"I am pleased to see such high yields being reported this year, undoubtedly helped by the recent spell of more settled weather conditions.
"However, I am aware that producers in some areas, such as Shetland, have yet to harvest their crops, and the Scottish government, NFUS and other stakeholders continue to closely monitor the situation through our wet weather working group."
Final harvest estimates will be announced by Scotland's chief statistician in December.
Women should use a "head tie and neatly wrap their hair", the memo said, without giving reasons for the ban.
Last month, The Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh declared the Muslim-majority country an Islamic republic.
He added that no dress code would be imposed and citizens of other faiths would be allowed to practise freely.
The Gambia is popular with Western tourists because of its beaches.
Mr Jammeh withdrew the former British colony from the Commonwealth in 2013, describing the organisation as neo-colonial.
The memo, dated 4 January and published in the pro-opposition Freedom and JollofNews newspapers, said that an "executive directive has been issued that all female staff within the government ministries, departments and agencies are no longer allowed to expose their hair during official working hours".
"All are strictly advised to adhere to this new directive," it added.
Some 90% of Gambians are Muslim.
When Mr Jammeh declared The Gambia an Islamic republic, he said the move was in line with the West African nation's "religious identity and values".
His critics said the declaration was intended to deflect attention from the poor state of the economy, including the rise in the price of basic commodities.
Many Muslim scholars believe that Islam requires Muslim women to cover their hear in public.
However, the requirement is not strictly adhered to in The Gambia.
First Lady Zineb Yahya Jammeh has previously appeared in public with her hair uncovered.
In November, the Gambian leader banned female circumcision, saying it was not required in Islam.
Mr Jammeh, who seized power in 1994 as a 29-year-old army lieutenant, is accused by rights activists of presiding over a brutal regime which is intolerant of dissent.
The European Union temporarily withheld aid money to The Gambia in 2014 over its poor human rights record.
Monday's alleged assault - involving a kettlebell, used for weight training - took place on the UCLA campus where the rapper's son is on the football team.
Nathalie Moar, who represents Diddy - real name Sean Combs - said reports of the incident were "wholly inaccurate".
"Actions... were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son."
Jail records show Combs was released on bail on Monday evening, after posting $160,000 (£101,000).
A statement from University Police did not identify the victim of the assault or say what led to the incident, but did confirm no-one was seriously injured.
"The various accounts of the event and charges that are being reported are wholly inaccurate," said Ms Moar.
"What we can say now is that any actions taken by Mr Combs were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son. We are confident that once the true facts are revealed, the case will be dismissed."
Combs' son Justin Combs is a redshirt junior defensive back on the UCLA football team, having played in just a handful of games in his three years with the team.
Snoop Dogg's son Cordell Broadus also plays on the same team.
In a statement from campus police, football coach Jim Mora called it "an unfortunate incident for all parties involved".
He added: "While UCPD continues to review this matter, we will let the legal process run its course and refrain from further comment at this time."
Healthier Together - a review by NHS leaders - promises increased consultant cover at four Greater Manchester hospitals.
Graham Brady said Wythenshawe Hospital should have been chosen and downgrading it "poses a threat to patient safety".
The review team argued the changes will result in "faster and better care".
Under the review, Stockport's Stepping Hill will become a specialist hospital along with Manchester Royal Infirmary, Salford Royal and Royal Oldham.
An extra 35 consultants are to be recruited across A&E and general surgery providing at least 12 hours of cover a day in A&E seven days a week at the so-called "super hospitals".
Wythenshawe, the Royal Bolton and Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan were also considered.
Mr Brady, Conservative MP for Altrincham and Sale, said: "Wythenshawe Hospital is an outstanding acute hospital providing some world-leading services.
"Senior clinicians at Wythenshawe have told me that the downgrading of the hospital poses a threat to patient safety and that removing general surgery will slowly kill the most important acute services.
"Wythenshawe is a centre of excellence and should be improved further not downgraded."
Mr Brady denounced "poor" consultation and said the decision-making process was "flawed".
Manchester City Council also criticised the move and said "the choice of Stockport as the fourth specialist site is the wrong decision" but "we will work with NHS colleagues to make the decision work."
Council leader Richard Lees said: "The council has consistently made the case for University Hospital of South Manchester (UHSM) as a specialist hospital, based not simply on geography but also on the strength of its clinical outcomes which are far superior to those of Stepping Hill."
The consultant surgeons will also operate at hospitals which are clustered with each of the four specialist hubs.
Critics have raised concerns about patient travel times.
Amy Barringer, from the Unison union, said: "We are going to see people from Wigan, Bolton and Wythenshawe driven past their own local hospital into Greater Manchester and Salford."
"Those few minutes of being in heavy traffic, making long journeys, from some of the outer parts - that does worry staff."
Dr Ranjit Gill, from Healthier Together and chief officer of Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group, said it was not about the interests of one hospital over another or saving money.
"It is about investing to recruit more staff and make hospitals collaborate rather than compete at the cost of patients lives.
"There is a place of safety transfer time of 20 minutes from the nearest hospital and then if from there it is determined you need the specialist skills you will be taken by blue light ambulance to the nearest specialist centre.
"So actually people will receive faster and better care."
Yorkshire beat Glamorgan by 90 runs on Thursday to complete an all-North Group teams Finals Day on 20 August.
They will face a Durham side who have never won the competition.
Northants, winners in 2013 and runners-up last year, face a Nottinghamshire side whose previous best in T20 competition was as runners-up in 2006.
That, he says, is what pirate networks want of their new recruits.
Mr Ahmed is head of counter-piracy for the semi-autonomous northern state of Puntland, which has 1,400km (870 miles) of Somalia's coastline - and is home to most of its pirates.
Maritime piracy cost the world economy more than $700m (£528m) last year, according to Oceans Beyond Piracy, a non-profit organisation attempting to develop a globally co-ordinated response to the problem.
It has now spread far beyond Somalia to West Africa, with the Gulf of Guinea now regarded by many as having the most dangerous waters in the world.
What's more, piracy has gone hi-tech.
When pirates raid ships, they generally have a good idea what they're after, because shipping databases are often surprisingly insecure.
Professional hackers break in online, steal ships' manifests and sell them on the dark web.
This is why the pirates know exactly where to look, "down to the bar code and serial number of the shipping container, in some cases," says Bryan Sartin, managing director of US company Verizon Risk, which investigates data breaches and cyber-attacks.
Servers aboard ships might not be regularly patched or updated, because of long stints on the water. This makes them easier hacking targets when they eventually do connect to the internet.
"An insecure inventory and loading-bills database is akin to drawing these pirates a treasure map," says Sian John, chief strategist for the area with Symantec, a cybersecurity firm.
Freely available vulnerability scanners would identify most shipping companies' security flaws, Mr Sartin says. And simple security tools, like two-factor authentication - whereby log-in details are supplemented by a security code generated by a separate device - would also help.
Pirates have begun flying drones which they use to scout busy sea lanes for unguarded ships, lacking security crews or razor-wire.
Previously, they would rely on watchmen in ports and others posing as innocent fishermen, says Philippe Minchin, of BCB International, a firm specialising in life-saving and security equipment.
To address these challenges, African governments and shipping companies have been fighting fire with fire. That fight is not just on the seas. It's now in the skies and over the internet.
Drones equipped with face-recognition technology are being used to look for known pirates and to act as surveillance scouts in high-threat areas such as the Bab al-Mandab strait between Yemen, Djibouti and Eritrea, says Vice Admiral Peter Hudson, who commanded EU maritime operations off Somalia between 2009 and 2011.
These companies are also developing "killer drones" that aim to scramble the GPS signals of the pirates' drones and activate their return-to-home functionality.
Shipping firms in Africa are keen to reduce their dependence on heavily armed security teams, because they "cost a fortune and leave flag states uncomfortable with the fact that armed men wander around complex merchant ships," says Vice Adm Hudson.
So other technologies are also being deployed.
Recent developments have included laser dazzlers, directional sonic devices that cause pain to pirates, and spider-web nets that can entangle attacking vessels, says Vice Adm Hudson.
One entangling net device is the Barracuda, made by BCB International. It snags itself around an attacking small vessel and wraps it in webbing, thereby disabling it.
It can be fired by handheld compressed-air cannons, or by cannons controlled remotely from a ship's bridge or an off-vessel control room, says Mr Minchin.
Most new equipment, like the Barracuda, has been non-lethal to reduce escalation of conflict - and the chance of innocent fishermen being killed.
In February 2012, two Indian fishermen were mistaken for pirates in a well-publicised incident. They were shot dead by Italian marines guarding an oil tanker called the MV Enrica Lexie.
But simply communicating online has also helped, with Africa's shipping businesses sharing information about pirate groups' activities, says Ibrahim Ahmed Abdinoor, chief executive of the African Shipping Line.
And religious leaders taking to social media to criticise piracy has had a strong impact in Puntland, says Abdirizak Ahmed.
Vice Adm Hudson calls this approach "catch-a-pirate dotcom".
But the fight against piracy is a continuous struggle.
With oil prices sinking, pirates have shifted from stealing tankers' contents, to abducting their crew. In the first half of this year, 44 crew were taken for ransom - 22 in Nigeria alone, says the International Maritime Bureau. This compares with 10 worldwide in the first half of 2015.
And 70% of piracy incidents go unreported, says Jon Huggins, a former US Navy officer and Oceans Beyond Piracy's director.
No-one has yet been jailed or prosecuted for piracy in West Africa, says Mr Huggins, though Nigeria has increased patrols.
The efforts by Abdirizak Ahmed in Puntland, and by international naval operations, have managed to reduce piracy incidents off the coast of Somalia by 90% since 2013.
Despite this, Mr Ahmed, who has been doing the job since 2010, says he feels "exhausted, and very frustrated", because the repercussions of the Somali piracy crisis are still being felt.
Kismayo, a port in southern Somalia, can still only export goats and sheep to the Gulf in small boats. Larger ships remain unwilling to dock there, despite the port being safe, according to African Shipping Line's Mr Abdinoor.
This means farmers inland from Kismayo can sell fewer animals to a hungry Gulf market. Although the port has a capacity to ship more than two million head of livestock annually, it presently ships less than one million.
Livestock contributes 40% to Somalia's economy, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. But with increased maritime access to Gulf countries, this figure could rise to about 60%.
So it's not just the profits of shipping firms and merchants that are hit by piracy. Economies, too, are affected. The stakes are high in the hi-tech battle to tackle the pirates.

Debutant Sharjeel Khan began the chase in buccaneering fashion but holed out for 40 to leave Pakistan 55-1 after day four of the final Test in Sydney.
Earlier, Josh Hazlewood took 4-55 to leave Younus Khan stranded on 175 as the tourists were bowled out for 315.
David Warner then followed up his first-innings hundred with 55 off 27 balls, as Australia declared on 241-2.
Warner, who had hit a century before lunch on the first day, opened with Usman Khawaja (79 not out), after fellow first-innings centurion Matt Renshaw was withdrawn from the remainder of the Test because of concussion.
The 20-year-old - whose 184 was his maiden Test century - had left the field after complaining of a headache, following a blow to the helmet while fielding at short leg on day three.
Captain Steve Smith pitched in with 59 from 43 balls as some rapid runs set up Australia's declaration.
Azhar Ali (11 not out) was joined by nightwatchman Yasir Shah after Sharjeel's belligerent knock, which featured six fours and a six from 38 balls, came to an end, but Pakistan, who trail 2-0 in the series, face having to bat through the final day to save the Test.
Nusrat Jahan was reported missing from her home in the Seaton area of Aberdeen at about 22:30 on Thursday.
The 34-year-old had told a friend an hour earlier that she planned to visit the beach.
Police have released a CCTV image of the last known sighting of Ms Jahan in the city's Marischal College at 16:00.
They are also urging any hotel or B&B owners to get in touch if they believe she may be staying or has stayed with them in recent days. She may be using the name Nusrat Dow.
Ms Jahan's disappearance came on the same day as the Aberdeen versus Apollon Limassol match at Pittodrie, which was attended by about 20,000 fans.
Local area commander, Ch Insp Kevin Wallace said she may still be wearing the same clothing as that seen in the CCTV image.
He added: "We are growing increasingly concerned for Nusrat's safety and wellbeing and I must urge anyone with information about her whereabouts to get in touch as soon as possible.
"The (beach) area would have become increasingly busy as the match at Pittodrie ended with fans leaving the stadium, so I would ask anyone who remembers seeing a woman matching Nusrat's description to let us know."
Mr Wallace also issued an appeal directly to the missing woman, adding "if she sees this appeal to please let us know you are safe and well by calling 101."
Ms Jahan is described as being about 5ft 3in tall and slim with dark hair.
When last seen, she was wearing flat black slip-on shoes, black leggings or skinny jeans, a light grey patterned top, black rimmed glasses and using a white handbag with a black band across the top.
Mr Wallace added: "We can't rule out Nusrat being elsewhere in the city, so would appeal to any member of the public to get in touch if they think they could assist."
Justice Scalia's death could shift the balance of power on the US high court, allowing President Barack Obama to add a fifth liberal justice to the bench.
The court's conservative 5-4 majority has recently stalled major efforts by the Obama administration on climate change and immigration.
Justice Scalia, 79, was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.
He died in his sleep early on Saturday while in West Texas for hunting trip, the US Marshals Service said.
"For almost 30 years, Justice Scalia was a larger-than-life presence on the bench," President Obama said, calling him "an extraordinary judicial thinker" with "an incisive wit".
Justice Scalia's biting wit
What next for the Supreme Court?
The president said he intends to name a replacement in due time, despite calls from Republicans to wait until the next president is elected.
"There will be plenty of time for me to do so and for the Senate to fulfil its responsibility to give that person a fair hearing and a timely vote," Mr Obama said.
"He was an extraordinary individual and jurist, admired and treasured by his colleagues," Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement. "His passing is a great loss to the court and the country he so loyally served."
Born in 1936 in Trenton, New Jersey, Justice Scalia was the first Italian American to serve on the high court.
He was one of the most prominent proponents of "originalism" - a conservative legal philosophy that believes the US Constitution has a fixed meaning and does not change with the times.
In 2008, Justice Scalia delivered the opinion in District of Columbia v Heller, a landmark case that affirmed an individual's right to possess a handgun.
Throughout his career, the outspoken justice has been a vocal opponent of abortion and gay rights, often writing scathing dissenting opinions.
In the majority, he supported business interests and was a strong advocate for the death penalty, but he often parted with his conservative colleagues on issues of free speech.
He was known for his sense of humour and colourful language, calling efforts to defend President Obama's healthcare reform law "jiggery-pokery" and "pure applesauce".
Justice Scalia was an avid questioner during the court's oral arguments and has been credited with livening up proceedings.
His biting legal opinions and colourful persona made him a celebrity in conservative legal circles and, to a lesser extent, among the general public.
The death of Antonin Scalia has turned the US presidential race, and Washington politics, on its head.
The ability of a president to shape the Supreme Court for years if not decades has been an important consideration for many voters in US presidential campaigns - but it is usually an abstract concern. With the passing of conservative firebrand Scalia, that is no longer the case.
Republicans in the US Senate will do everything they can to prevent Barack Obama, who has fewer than 11 months left in his presidency, from naming a successor to a court that had been sharply divided between liberals and conservatives.
If they succeed, a Democratic victory in November would mean a court with a decidedly more liberal bent. If Republicans prevail they preserve their slender conservative majority on a court that regularly issues landmark decisions on issues like gay rights, immigration law, healthcare reform, campaign finance reform and civil liberties.
Even if Mr Obama gets a nominee confirmed, the power his successor will hold to appoint justices is clear - three of the eight remaining justices are over the age of 70.
What next for the Supreme Court?
Meet the Supremes
Justice Scalia was the subject of a one-act play and the focus of an opera along with his friend and colleague liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The appointment of Justice Scalia's successor is certain to become a major issue in the presidential race, with stark divisions emerging over whether he or she should be nominated by this president or the next.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said on Saturday that the new justice should be selected after the presidential election.
"The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice," he said.
His stance was echoed by Republican presidential candidates including senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
Senator Harry Reid, the top Democrat in the chamber, called the move to delay the confirmation "unprecedented".
"The Republicans in the Senate and on the campaign trail who are calling for Justice Scalia's seat to remain vacant dishonour our constitution," Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said. "The Senate has a constitutional responsibility here that it cannot abdicate for partisan political reasons."
The Supreme Court will continue to hear cases during the current term, with or without a replacement, including a major case involving abortion rights.
US Supreme Court justices are appointed to life terms by the president with the approval of the US Senate.
The length of their terms along with their influence on US politics makes their selection and confirmation hotly debated.
Appointed by Democratic presidents, associate justices Mrs Ginsburg, 82, Sonia Sotomayor, 61, Stephen Breyer, 77, and Elena Kagan, 55, make up the court's liberal wing.
Appointed by Republican presidents, Chief Justice John Roberts, 61, along with justices Clarence Thomas, 67, Anthony Kennedy, 79, and Samuel Alito, 65, are the court's conservative bloc. | A man has been charged in connection with a crash which left a motorcyclist in hospital with serious injuries.

Natalia Spencer is half way into a 6,000 mile walk in memory of Elizabeth, who died in December aged five.
After hearing about the trip on social media local woman Mhairi Ross will join her "to keep her company and safe".
Ms Spencer said the walk had given her a "purpose" since her daughter's death.
She started her walk on 14 February from Durdle Door in Dorset, the last beach she and Elizabeth visited together.
Six months and 3,000 miles later she has now reached Lurignish near Oban in north west Scotland.
Ms Spencer, from Cheltenham, said her daughter was in her thoughts "every step of the way".
"It's hard to wake up every day and face reality without my daughter, but it's given me purpose and I feel I am going in the right direction."
Ms Ross said she had decided to accompany Ms Spencer for part of the journey because she was "impressed and very humbled" with her situation.
She said the next part of the route would be in a potentially dangerous remote area of the far west coast of Scotland.
"I'm quite keen on hill walking and know the countryside quite well," she said.
Elizabeth was taken ill in November with a relatively common virus which triggered an autoimmune condition known as Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
It caused her body to go into septic shock, shutting down her major organs and cutting off the blood supply to her limbs.
She spent 18 days on life support at Bristol Children's Hospital before she died, and the charity walk is raising funds for the hospital's Paediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Employees on in-work benefits who put aside £50 a month would get a bonus of 50% after two years - worth up to £600.
That could then be continued for another two years with account holders receiving another £600.
But Labour said the scheme was "like stealing someone's car and offering them a lift to the bus stop".
Government cuts to universal credit will make low and middle-income families worse off, said Owen Smith, the shadow work and pensions secretary.
"These cuts will mean families are going to struggle to have enough money to make it to the end of the week, let alone save for the future," he said.
The new savings scheme, known as "Help to Save", will be detailed in this week's Budget, in which Chancellor George Osborne has already warned of further spending cuts.
He said that the UK had to "act now rather than pay later" and that the UK would see cuts "equivalent to 50p in every £100" of public spending by 2020, which was "not a huge amount in the scheme of things".
Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell called for more long-term investment, specifically in skills, infrastructure and new technology, to enable the UK economy to "withstand the global headwinds".
Forecasters at the EY Item Club said Mr Osborne should "hold fire" on further spending cuts or risk worsening an expected slowdown in the UK economy.
Meanwhile, in a planned boost for low-paid workers, the national minimum wage is set to increase from October 2016.
The government said that research showed almost half of UK adults had less than £500 set aside for emergencies.
It said the "Help to Save" scheme would be open to around 3.5 million adults who received universal credit or tax credit. They would be able to withdraw the money if necessary and there would be no restrictions to how it could be used.
If the maximum amount was paid in to the scheme over four years, it would mean savings of £3,600, with £1,200 coming from the government.
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I've made it the mission of this government to transform life chances across the country.
"That means giving hard-working people the extra support they need to fulfil their potential."
The saving accounts will come into effect by April 2018 , with consultations on how exactly it will be implemented to begin shortly after the Budget.
David Finch, senior economic analyst at the Resolution Foundation, said: "It's vital that families have savings to fall back on to cope with financial shocks, but far too many low earners are unable to save at all. The new Help to Save scheme will provide a good incentive to start."
I am currently able to save around £7 a week in my credit union account. But often have to take it out to pay larger monthly bills.
All in all I struggle massively to make ends meet from week to week and there is no way I'd be able to save and keep those savings in an account continuously through the year.
With Westminster gripped by EU referendum fervour, David Cameron's focus today is a reminder of what he'd like his final years as prime minister to be remembered for: what he called "an all-out assault on poverty" in his party conference speech last autumn.
But how do you encourage people without much money to save money? How many of the 3.5 million people eligible to take part in the scheme actually will?
I asked the government for their prediction - and they wouldn't tell me. But it did say it would cost an estimated £70m to the taxpayer over the first two years.
So let's, very roughly, play with that figure.
Let's imagine the average participant can afford to put aside £10 per month. That would entitle them to £120 from the government after two years.
£70m pounds would allow ministers to give just under 600,000 people £120 - or one in six of those entitled to join the scheme.
The new levels of the national minimum wage were also announced.
For 21 to 24-year-olds it will rise from £6.70 to £6.95 an hour, while 18 to 20-year-olds will see it go up from £5.30 to £5.55 an hour.
For 16 to 17-year-olds it will increase from £3.87 to £4 an hour, while apprentices will receive a 10p increase to £3.40 an hour.
Under the National Living Wage, announced last year, workers over 25 will receive a minimum of £7.20 an hour from April. | Millions of low-paid workers who put aside savings could receive a top-up of up to £1,200 over four years, the government has announced. | 35,799,404 | 978 | 34 | false |

Murray, 30, pulled out of an exhibition match in London on Friday, three days before he begins his Wimbledon defence.
BBC Sport's David Ornstein said Murray "grimaced" at times during practice but was "comfortable" in his final session.
Ivan Lendl, the world number one's coach, said: "Practice has gone well."
A two-time Wimbledon champion, Murray will face Kazakhstan's world number 134 Alexander Bublik on Centre Court at 13:00 BST on Monday.
It will be only the Scot's second competitive match on grass this summer as he lost in the first round of the Aegon Championships.
Prior to Friday, Murray had not been able to practice since Tuesday.
BBC Sport's David Ornstein said: "The decision to practise three times in a day this close to a tournament is unusual.
"At about 9:30, Lendl told us that Murray was 'doing great', and after 10 the defending champion began hitting with Belgium's Steve Darcis on the Aorangi Park practice courts.
"The pair then moved over match court nine, in full view of the media and groundstaff. Murray looked reasonably comfortable as he and Darcis exchanged groundstrokes, but in between he limped heavily, bent over and grimaced.
"The world number one then took part in some volleying and serving drills, appearing to reach close to full intensity. He continued to move gingerly and grimace, but he did not hold back.
"Between serves he was seen joking and smiling with Lendl, who also spent a period in deep conversation with Wimbledon chief executive Richard Lewis. Murray left without taking any questions from the written or broadcast media.
"He then hit with 17-year-old Scottish junior Aidan McHugh and looked fairly comfortable and relaxed, with his team looking relaxed too."
The prime minister said English local authorities would receive all the business rates collected from shale gas schemes - rather than the usual 50%.
In a visit to a Lincolnshire fracking site, he predicted the process could support 74,000 jobs and reduce bills.
But Greenpeace accused ministers of trying to "bribe councils".
Mr Cameron's announcement on business rates came as French company Total confirmed plans to invest about £30m to help drill two exploratory wells in Lincolnshire. It is the first major energy firm to invest in fracking in the UK.
The British Geological Survey estimates there may be 1,300 trillion cubic feet of shale gas present in the north of England.
But the process to extract it - called fracking, which is short for "hydraulic fracturing" - has led to protests, with environmentalists fearing the technique could cause small earth tremors, water contamination and environmental damage.
On Monday protesters at the Barton Moss fracking facility in Greater Manchester climbed on to lorries entering the site.
But Mr Cameron argued that the UK had the "strongest environmental controls" and pledged: "Nothing would go ahead if there were environmental dangers."
"Shale is important for our country," he continued. "It could bring 74,000 jobs, over £3bn of investment, give us cheaper energy for the future, and increase our energy security.
"I want us to get on board this change that is doing so much good and bringing so much benefit to North America. I want us to benefit from it here as well."
Fracking involves drilling deep underground and releasing a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals to crack rocks and release gas stored inside.
Whitehall officials said the business rates commitment would mean councils keeping up to £1.7m extra a year from each fracking site.
Separately, the mining industry has pledged to give communities £100,000 for test drilling and a further 1% of the revenues if shale is discovered, they added.
Energy minister Michael Fallon said councils could benefit by up to "£10m per wellhead" if shale gas was successfully extracted in their communities, through the 1% levy on revenues.
The Local Government Association, which represents councils in England, said the announcement was a "step in the right direction" but any packages had to "fairly remunerate" those affected.
"One percent of gross revenues distributed locally is not good enough; returns should be more in line with payments across the rest of the world and be set at 10%," a spokesman said. "The community benefits of fracking should be enshrined in law, so companies cannot withdraw them to the detriment of local people."
Responding to the LGA's call for 10% of revenues, Mr Fallon said: "This is something obviously the industry will keep under review."
For Labour, shadow energy minister Tom Greatrex said it was right for communities to share in the potential rewards from shale gas, but he called on the government to "get its priorities right".
"Only by fully addressing legitimate environmental and safety concerns about fracking with robust regulation and comprehensive monitoring will people have confidence that the exploration and possible extraction of shale gas is a safe and reliable source that can contribute to the UK's energy mix," he said.
Friends of the Earth's Jane Thomas argued that the new policy "highlights the depth of local opposition to fracking and the desperate lengths ministers are prepared to go to try and overcome it".
Lawrence Carter of Greenpeace added: "Having had their claims that fracking will bring down energy bills and create jobs thoroughly discredited, the government is now resorting to straight up bribery to sell their deeply unpopular fracking policy."
The Institute of Directors welcomed the move on business rates, with chief economist James Sproule arguing: "Investment from Total is a vote of long-term confidence in the UK shale industry, and is a welcome sign that the government is creating the conditions necessary to maximise the potential benefits of a new domestic energy source.
UKIP energy spokesman Roger Helmer warned that "all the financial benefits [of fracking] could be swallowed up by bureaucracy" and urged the government to create a sovereign wealth fund so that fracking profits "would ensure financial security for future generations".
The explosion had been caused by "irresponsible human error", the National Petroleum Authority, (NPA) said.
The NPA said two bolts which should have "tightened the lid" of the gas tanker were missing, Joy News reports.
Witnesses said they heard a loud bang and saw flames billowing into the sky.
Africa Live: More on this and other stories
Injured persons were reported to have suffered severe burns and have been sent to the hospital.
Several images of charred bodies from the explosion have been shared on social media.
The NPA, which had inspected the site, blamed the fire on a "fully loaded" gas tanker that was discharging Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG).
NPA head Moses Asaga told local radio station Joy FM that "The pressure built up and because the lid was not tight, the pressure was able to force the lid open."
"It came out like a missile... and that is why it spewed out 200 meters into the Labadi Trade Fair site and caused the fire.
Local media reports say the explosion occurred at 18:00 local time on Thursday and it took fire officers several hours to bring the fire under control.
There had also been a black-out in the area - where a national exhibition centre and a university are located - as some electricity cables reportedly, caught fire.
The tragedy has raised renewed concerns over the location of fuel stations, many of which can be found close to residential areas.
In a Facebook post, Ghana's incoming President Nana Akufo-Addo called for a "second look" at the location of gas stations in the country and "strict enforcement" of safety regulations to prevent "such avoidable incidents".
President John Dramani Mahama also took to Twitter to express his condolences to victims.
In 2015, a deadly explosion at a fuel station in the capital killed more than 150 people.
The Spaniard, who plays Dominic Thiem in the semi-finals on Friday, is just two wins from a record 10th French Open - 'La Decima' - and his first since 2014.
"It's starting to be the way it was," Carlos Moya, who joined Nadal's coaching team in December, told BBC Sport.
"That was one of the things that we wanted back, that the opponent feels he's playing Nadal again and if they want to beat him, they're going to have to work really hard."
They might have to work hard but thus far Nadal's opponents haven't had to spend much time on court.
The Spaniard, 31, has been getting them out of there in close to 90 minutes per match, reaching the semi-finals for the loss of just 22 games in five matches - the fewest games lost to this stage of a Grand Slam since best-of-five matches were introduced.
Twelve months ago, Nadal was forced out of the tournament through injury, and two years ago he was brushed aside by Novak Djokovic. In 2017, he has looked unstoppable.
There is no question Nadal has rediscovered his mojo on the clay, but opinion is divided over whether he is back to his very best.
His new coach believes he's not far away.
"I think he's really close to 100%," said Moya. "He's played some matches this year when his level was really good.
"It's hard to compare with the old Rafa, but I think if he's not at the same level, he's close to that."
Nadal might be the king of clay but his game looks increasingly like hard-court tennis on the red dirt.
Successful in a stunning 76% of points behind second serves, and 69% of first serves, Nadal is then winning 62% of his points in under four shots, as opposed to just 15% in rallies of more than nine strokes.
And it is his most famous shot that once again dominates Roland Garros.
"The wheelhouse of the Nadal renaissance has been his forehand," says Craig O'Shannessy, strategy expert for Wimbledon, the Australian Open and the ATP World Tour.
"He has hit 61 forehand groundstroke winners to the semi-final, with the majority hit straight down the line."
The image of Nadal might be of long, grinding rallies from deep behind the baseline, but the reality in 2017 is that plan A is stepping in, opening up the court early, running around his backhand and cracking a forehand winner.
Nadal has missed five Grand Slams through injury, and was forced out of last year's French Open with a wrist problem which saw him also miss Wimbledon and curtail his season after the US Open.
The punishing nature of his baseline game led many to speculate from the early years that his would be a much shorter career than those of his rivals.
However, rested and rehabilitated, he returned at the start of 2017 to reach his first Grand Slam final since 2014 in Australia, before once again dominating the clay-court season.
"I think everybody is a little bit surprised by his performances again, but when he recovers physically 100%, he gets the confidence to fight," said former French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero.
"I think being physically fit is the key to his performances right now.
"He had no injuries in the last six months and I think it's very important for him to feel like this.
"He's also recovering balls the same as before, impossible points that in the last year maybe we didn't see from him, because he couldn't move as well."
One of the great coach-athlete relationships in sporting history will end this year when Toni Nadal - 'Uncle Toni' - steps away from life on the tour.
The 56-year-old, who made the decision to change a natural right-hander to play left-handed, will return to the family's home of Majorca to concentrate on running his nephew's tennis academy.
His departure lends an extra dimension to Nadal's quest for another title at Roland Garros, the place where he and Toni began an extraordinary story 12 years ago.
"He always says one of the biggest things for him is to have his family very close," said Ferrero.
"So to have his uncle as somebody who is there all the time in important moments, bad times, injuries, everything - of course Toni is one of the important people he'll always have in his life."
The succession plan is well under way, however, with former French Open champion Moya brought on board in December.
"It makes me very proud," said Moya. "I know who I am with, how big in the history of this sport he is, so I try to make the most of every day I have with him.
"It's been a learning experience for me."
There were widespread calls for a change in the Nadal team when he went through his prolonged slump, and Ferrero believes Moya's introduction will bring a new dimension to the coaching set-up.
"To have someone on the team like Carlos, who knows all the time what is going on in the match because he played on the tour, I think it's very important to have someone who can then go to the locker room and talk about the match," added Ferrero.
"Rafa can talk with Toni as well but Carlos went through all the matches like he did, so it's something Rafa didn't have before."
You might think that nine titles and a 77-2 career record would make Nadal stride through the gates of Roland Garros with at least a hint of a swagger.
"I won here nine times," said the Spaniard, "and every year that I won I was unbelievably happy, but every year that I came back, I was unbelievably nervous."
If Nadal carries that feeling with him as a matter of course, the looming prospect of making almost unfathomable tennis history must be an added burden.
Victory in Sunday's final would make him the first player to win any of the Grand Slam titles 10 times in the open era, and only the second ever after Margaret Court's 11 Australian Open wins.
"La Decima? No, no, no," said Moya, when asked if it was a subject of discussion in Team Nadal.
"You know that it's there but it's coming more from the press and the people and the fans, than from Rafa and his team.
"We know it's there but we believe also it can add some extra pressure, so we don't talk about that.
"He probably does feel more pressure at this time of year, especially here.
"Every year he's coming, he's defending champion most of the time, or if not he knows it's the tournament he has the biggest chances to win, so there's always some extra pressure here."
There have been plenty of people keen to re-anoint Nadal as the king of clay based on his resurgence this season, but the real tests still lie ahead.
The average rank of his opponents so far at Roland Garros has been 39, with Roberto Bautista Agut the highest at 18 in the world.
Now comes a step up against Thiem, the young Austrian who inflicted Nadal's only clay-court defeat of 2017 with a stunning performance in Rome.
Get through that, and he faces a final against world number one Andy Murray or former champion Stan Wawrinka.
So is a Nadal victory inevitable?
"It's difficult to say," said seven-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe.
"That's why I wanted to see him and Novak play in the semis - we could see is he really playing better than ever?
"Certainly he's intimidating, there's no doubt, and he's the guy to beat. But I don't think it means it's over quite yet."
Four of the men, including the captain, were given five-year jail sentences while a fifth is facing a prison term of three and a half years.
They were detained in the southern Finnish city on 2 July after a woman said she had been raped at a hotel.
Eight men were originally held. Two were released soon afterwards.
Another of the players was released from detention at the end of August and acquitted by the court in Tampere.
The men given the longer sentences included 27-year-old captain Rolando Cepeda Abreu, Alfonso Gavilan, 21, Ricardo Calvo Manzano, 19, and Osmany Uriarte Mestre, who is also 21. Luis Sosa Sierra, 21, was given a shorter sentence.
The team had been taking part in a tournament ahead of the Rio Olympics when the rape took place at the hotel in which the players were staying.
The court heard that two of the players had met the woman in a nightclub in the hotel basement. She later went to the room of one of the men, Uriarte Mestre, and consented to sex.
However, Uriarte Mestre was then said to have texted the other men without the woman's knowledge. They entered the room and subjected the woman to a lengthy ordeal and held her by the hair to prevent her leaving.
When she was eventually allowed to leave, she complained to the hotel receptionist who called police.
The men had denied the accusation, insisting the woman had given consent.
However, the court ruled they were guilty of aggravated rape and ordered the men to pay €24,000 (£20,500; $27,000) in compensation to the victim.
As the allegations emerged, two of the team coaches were sacked.
Despite its depleted squad, Cuba fielded a team in Rio and lost all five of its matches.
Tom Huddlestone's deflected shot and Nikica Jelavic's low finish inside the box gave the Tigers a 2-0 half-time lead, despite Cardiff enjoying the greater possession.
Jelavic headed his second from Liam Rosenior's cross, with Jake Livermore's powerful shot capping a fine win.
Steve Bruce's side move up to 11th, eight points clear of Cardiff in 19th.
A positive opening for the hosts had seen them looking to attack down the flanks at every opportunity and attempting to create space between Hull's three centre-backs.
On-loan Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha nearly gave Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side the lead, dribbling past three players before testing Tigers goalkeeper Allan McGregor.
Premier League:
Played: 7; Won: 1; Drawn: 1; Lost: 5

Moments later Kenwyne Jones' strong run and shot forced the Scotland international to parry the ball behind for a corner.
But as Cardiff pressed, Hull looked to counter - and the Tigers took the lead with their first real chance of the game.
Jelavic's close-range shot was saved brilliantly at point-blank range by Cardiff keeper David Marshall, but the ball rebounded to Huddlestone whose low, deflected drive found the net.
Cardiff continued to attack, Jones and Fraizer Campbell both sending close-range headers off target, but the Tigers' new strike partnership of Shane Long and Jelavic proved more clinical.
As half-time approached, Long broke clear of the Cardiff defence and his low cross was converted by Jelavic into the bottom corner of the net.
The home fans greeted the half-time whistle with boos, but after the break things only got worse for the Cardiff faithful.

Jelavic had wasted a great chance form six yards but made amends when he headed the ball into the corner of the net for his second and Hull's third, following a pin-point cross by Liam Rosenior.
The trickle of departing home fans were joined in greater numbers 10 minutes later when Ahmed Elmohamady intercepted Andrew Taylor's pass on halfway, ran to the edge of the area and squared the ball for Livermore to place the ball past Marshall.
The result - Hull's biggest away win in the top flight - also gave Bruce his 100th Premier League win as a manager. More importantly, it moves the Tigers six points clear of the relegation zone.
For Solskjaer, who had targeted this match as a potential win, it is now five defeats from his seven Premier League matches in charge - and the Bluebirds remain deep in relegation trouble.

The site near Gilberdyke had grown to more than double its permitted height of 14m (46ft).
The Environment Agency (EA) served a third enforcement notice to City Plant Ltd following two orders last year to reduce the amount of rubbish.
Residents had called for the agency and local authority to take action.
The third notice bans the firm from taking waste to the towering rubbish tip and will come into force from 13 February.
It was issued by the EA after City Plant Ltd failed to comply with one of the two orders served in November.
Environment Agency regulatory officer Matthew Woollin said: "It's important that we control the amount of waste at the site because we issue the permit based on a set figure to protect the environment.
"We understand the community's concerns and we are working hard to resolve this issue."
Neighbours said the smell from the tip had become unbearable and was affecting house sales.
Local resident Kevin Clifford said the tip was getting "higher and higher" and attracting vermin.
He said he had witnessed up to 100 wagons a day driving through the village "spreading litter, dirt and muck".
City Plant Ltd has yet to comment.
Conservatives emphasise the importance of sales from Scotland to the rest of the UK - four times greater than the value of sales to the rest of the UK in 2015.
But, points out the Scottish government, the size of the total European Union market is around eight times bigger than the size of the market across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
To understand the difference, one side is measuring actual sales: the other potential for sales. Take your pick. They are, in a way, alternative facts.
What the export figures show us once more is that, unlike England and Wales, it is the United States that is Scotland's biggest single export market.
Which brings us to President Trump. One of the stranger business exploits to which he has given his name is the selling of Trump steaks. They were, of course, "the world's greatest".
The steaks didn't work out well. This was about re-labelling, branding and charging top dollar but didn't work with the Trump brand's opulence and bling.
But it does remind us that the new president is a salesman, and he recognised that a slab of beef is as much part of the American story as the skyscraper.
Theresa May may wish to keep that in mind when she visits the White House, eagerly pushing to stay at the "front of the line" to get a quick trade deal as Britain exits the European Union.
What she might easily agree with Donald Trump is that tariffs should come down. Washington's army of lobbyists may not agree so readily. But more difficult are the non-tariff barriers to trade.
These can be regulatory requirements - for safety of products, for instance, for provenance, distribution requirements, or for minimum labour standards.
And that gets very close to home when it comes to food standards and food safety, animal welfare and permitted ingredients.
The Americans can put up the barriers to protect their own, in the name of food safety. Although France last week joined Ireland in regaining approval for beef and lamb sales to the US, for the first time since BSE took off, Britain still does not. No haggis. No genuinely Aberdeen Angus or Barnsley chops.
But in trade talks, the powerful agricultural lobby in Washington can push very hard to batter down barriers to other markets.
And that's where the talk of quick trade deals hits a harsh and sometimes unappetising reality.
BBC Radio 4's Today programme this week illustrated the point, in an interview with Bob Young, chief economist with the American Farm Federation.
He explained that the science is - as he describes it - on the Americans' side in the use of growth-enhancing hormones to bulk up beef cattle.
Washing chickens in a chlorine solution is not allowed in the European Union, but it is in the US.
Crops can be genetically modified, allowing for more efficient production and the ability to undercut producers in countries which do not allow them - and neither do they allow hormones in beef or chlorinated chicken.
Mr Young left listeners in no doubt that this influential lobby group would certainly be pushing for the UK to bend to US standards if and when it comes to trade negotiations.
He didn't discuss subsidies, but the US will certainly push for lower government subsidy for its agriculture. That's at a time when the nod to British farmers from the British government is that they should be no worse off under the replacement for the Common Agriculture Policy.
Asked subsequently if British farmers would be happy to accept US standards, the head of strategy for Britain's National Farmers Union had two opinions: one, that there should be no market access using farming techniques that are not allowed in Britain, and that the consumer will have to be persuaded that products are safe.
Food production is only one among many, many items that would have to be considered in trade talks between the UK and the US. If the British don't realise that, it may be because there has been no experience of trade negotiating, except through Brussels, for 40 years.
And if Theresa May is going to Washington thinking Donald Trump will want to do Britain a favour with a new trade deal, she should listen again to his inauguration speech: "America First, America First".
Midfielder John Swift, signed from Chelsea in the summer, missed with an early chance but eventually marked his debut with a goal when he swept home Garath McCleary's corner.
Deniss Rakels headed wide and was also denied by Preston's Anders Lindegaard.
PNE midfielder Daniel Johnson had a shot saved after the break.
And North End, who changed formation at the restart, did contribute more to the match in the second 45 minutes.
But the Royals looked more dangerous throughout and ensured that Stam, who succeeded Brian McDermott as Reading manager in June, made a winning start to life in the Championship.
It could have been an even more comfortable afternoon for the majority of the 15,764 at the Madejski Stadium when PNE defender Paul Huntington almost sliced the ball into his own net midway through the second half.
North End did the double over the Royals last season but have not won on the opening day since 2008 and must wait at least another year to end that sequence.
Reading manager Jaap Stam: "We had a lot of possession in the first half and dominated the game totally. We created a couple of very good chances but did not finish it off. We should have scored a second goal.
"Some of our play was very good to watch. That's what we're aiming for. You can't do that against every team. But it's hard work and we're not there yet.
"We've only been working for six weeks and you can't achieve miracles in that time. But where the players are at the moment, we're very happy with that."
Preston manager Simon Grayson: "We were two yards off the pace in the first half. When we did press Reading, we didn't press quick enough to stop them from getting into a rhythm.
"We didn't do that as a team and so that was disappointing. And we never really looked a threat going forward, either.
"We're disappointed but it's a lesson to learn. We knew Reading were going to play high-risk football and if it comes off, it's all well and good. But when we did our job, we got into some good areas."

Lavinia Woodward, 24, attacked the man at Christ Church college, while she was under the influence of drink and drugs.
She admitted inflicting grievous body harm, the Oxford Mail reported.
At Oxford Crown Court, Judge Ian Pringle QC said he believed the attack was "a complete one-off".

"To prevent this extraordinary, able young lady from following her long-held desire to enter the profession she wishes to, would be a sentence which would be too severe," he said.
"What you did will never, I know, leave you, but it was pretty awful, and normally it would attract a custodial sentence."
Medical student Woodward met the Cambridge University student on dating app Tinder, the court heard.
During the attack at the college, she thumped him, lunged at him with a bread knife, and stabbed him in the leg.
She also threw a laptop, glass, and jam jar at him before stabbing herself, the court heard.
Judge Pringle was told Woodward had become addicted to drugs and had previously been in an abusive relationship with a previous boyfriend.
He said he would take an "exceptional" course of action and defer sentencing until September.
Defence barrister James Sturman QC had argued it would be "almost impossible" for Woodward to become a surgeon once she had disclosed her conviction to employers.
The judge ordered Woodward to remain drug-free, and told her she would be sentenced on 25 September.
Francis FitzGibbon, the chair of the Criminal Bar Association, told the BBC's Today programme the case was "unusual".
"The judge must take into account determination or demonstration of steps to address addiction, so it sounds as though he's giving her a chance and I think the judge would do that for anyone wherever they came from in the right circumstances.
"I don't know if her future prospects are the critical factor in this.
"Maybe if she does really badly [on her drug rehabilitation] he'll think again."

It's "cheque day" in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, and people are feeling good. Having just cashed their monthly social assistance stipend, many residents have flocked to the local street market, where vendors peddle everything from bootlegged DVDs to handmade crafts.
But the marketplace is not the only place where money is changing hands. In the alleyways and squats that pepper the neighbourhood the drug economy is booming, and so are the overdoses.
"You come to work every day and you find out who has died," says Sarah Blyth, a community advocate who runs the street market. "It is extremely depressing."
Heroin has been a part of the Downtown Eastside for as long as most people can remember. By the 1990s, needle-sharing among drug users in the city led to "the most explosive epidemic of HIV ever observed outside of Sub-Saharan Africa," according to Aids researcher Dr Thomas Kerr.
This early drug crisis led to the opening of North America's first supervised injection site, Insite. Now, as an opioid epidemic spreads, the Downtown Eastside has become an incubator for a variety of out-of-the-box drug treatments.
Insite, the supervised injection site is right across from the market. Since opening its doors in 2003, the clinic has become an integral part of Vancouver's downtown.
The space is gleaming and clinical - a far cry from the popular image of addicts huddled in a dirty alleyway. In June 2017 alone, Insite's injection room was visited about 10,600 times.
In 14 years, only one person has died of a drug overdose at Insite or any other supervised injection site in Vancouver.
Founding director Chris Bruchner says the facility provides "dignity to people who are not afforded a lot of dignity in their day to day lives".
Mr Bruchner began his career as an HIV activist in Montreal, and took on the role at Insite to treat "problematic substance use not as a criminal action or a moral failure but as a health and social issue".
Patients are allowed to inject their own drugs at the clinic, while a nurse or doctor looks on.
Insite helps connect drug users to other social services, like housing and mental-health resources, and provides detox services to help people get clean.
Dozens of papers in peer-reviewed journals, including the British Medical Journal and the Lancet, support Insite's claims that such strategies reduce disease and public disorder and can actually help encourage people to get off drugs for good.
This research has helped fuel an interest in opening up similar sites across North America. To date, Health Canada has licensed 16 supervised injection sites across the country. The American city of Seattle also hopes to open a clinic.
Critics have accused Insite of giving up on addicts, but the clinic's current director Dr Mark Lysyshyn believes it is just the opposite.
"It is helping people when they need you, helping them stay alive until they get to the point where treatment or detox is an option for them," he says.
But it was the spread of fentanyl, a deadly opioid between 50 and 100 times more powerful than heroin, that turned supervised injection from a medical experiment into a necessity.
Nowhere has been hit harder than Vancouver. The city is projected to see 430 overdose deaths in 2017, nearly double from last year.
Blyth remembers when things first started to take a turn, towards the start of 2016. Although overdoses have always been a problem in the alleyway behind the market, she says it got to the point where every morning there would be a new body.
"People were falling down all over the place," she says.
Ms Blyth had been trained in how to administer Naloxone, an antidote to opioid overdoses, when she worked at a homeless shelter in the area. Soon, she found herself running to Insite to grab Naloxone kits every day.
In the fall of 2016, she and a group of volunteers created the Overdose Prevention Society, a grassroots supervised injection site located between the street market and the alleyway, in what is now known as "Area 62". She helped train people to use Naloxone, and started crowdfunding to buy their own supplies.
Unlike Insite, which was granted a special exemption to the federal drug laws by the government, Area 62 was illegal when it first opened. Police turned a blind eye until Christmas 2016, when Vancouver's public health department agreed to issue them a license.
"We just said 'screw it, we are going to have a space'," she says.
"And anyone who says we can't, we are just going to say we are saving lives, bugger off."
The Overdose Prevention Society is run out of trailers and tents. Most of the volunteers are from the area, and are either drug users themselves, or have family members who are.
Blyth says that for many, saving other people's lives helps gives them a reason to stay clean.
"It gives them wind in their sails," she says.
Robin Macintosh, a neighbourhood resident whose brother overdosed in 1993, says volunteering has given her life meaning. She counts the number of lives she's saved in the hundreds.
"This is my baby," she says.
Just down the street from Area 62 is one of the most heavily guarded stashes of heroin in the city. But it's not a drug dealer's den. Rather, it is Providence Crosstown Clinic, the only medical facility in Canada prescribing heroin to addicts.
Although diacetylmorphine - pure heroin - is prescribed by some UK doctors and in some parts of Europe, Crosstown is the only place in North America that helps addicts get their fix. The programme began in 2009, and is running at capacity with 130 patients.
Russell Cooper is one of them. A big burly guy with a leather vest, he looks like he would fit right in on the set of Sons of Anarchy, but he is patient and soft spoken, and says he understands why people might disagree with the controversial treatment.
"I do not blame them. Why should their tax dollars put out for people to just go get high?" he says after his morning dose.
"All I can say to them is addiction is a very powerful thing."
Mr Cooper has been using for 30 years, since he tried heroin for the first time while in prison.
It made him feel good - he liked it, and his friends used it. But when his fix wore off, he was left shaking and sweating, with only one thing on his mind - where could he find more heroin.
When he got out of prison, he started dealing drugs to support his habit. He lost custody of his son and stayed in homeless shelters. He tried methadone treatment multiple times, sometimes going one or two whole years without using.
But he always came back.
"The methadone is kind of just putting a blanket over it but sooner or later, you are going to start getting cold," he says.
Cooper is the ideal candidate for this kind of programme, says Dr Scott MacDonald, lead physician at Crosstown. Prescription heroin is a last resort for people who have tried to quit many times before.
Like Insite, Crosstown also connects people to social services in the city. That's really its purpose, says Dr MacDonald. By giving them stable doses of clean drugs, without the toxic fentanyl, addicts will be able to maintain their addiction and stay off the streets.
Mr Cooper believes the programme has saved his life.
He is out of a homeless shelter and living in his own apartment. He makes some money doing odd jobs in his building and helping a friend who works with racehorses. And he volunteers to go to children's schools, and educate them about the dangers of opioids.
"It could not be better. Things you never thought you would get," he says.
The one thing he wants most is to reconnect with his 12-year-old son.
"The questions are starting to get harder and harder to answer," he says.
"I talked to his mom about it and she said the best thing for you to do is be honest."
Depsite the number of addiction programmes in Vancouver, the rise of fentanyl-related deaths means health officials are always playing catch up.
"It feels a little bit like a bridge to nowhere sometimes," says Mr Bruchner.
He now works for suburban public health authority, Fraser Health, and says programmes that work in Downtown Eastside won't be as effective elsewhere.
"Unlike in Vancouver, where the vast majority of overdoses are centralised in five square blocks, in other communities they are spread out," he says.
Most overdose deaths occur when someone takes drugs alone in their apartment, public health data shows, which means it's vital to connect with people before they use.
Fraser Health has been deploying nurses to areas where there has been overdoses in the past, to distribute Naloxone kits and supervise injections in people's homes.
But Mr Bruchner says governments also need to invest in stable housing, mental health resources and education, so that people don't feel the need to use to begin with, he says.
"We can keep people alive, but when we keep people alive just to overdose again, why will we not build them housing?"
Dr Lysyshyn agrees the overdoses will slow when drug addicts are not treated as moral failures.
"We will never be able to supervise all the injections," he says. "So ultimately the strategies about preventing this are not about Naloxone, they are about changing drug policy."
Harry Kane provided England with the perfect start when he turned in Ryan Bertrand's cross after only nine minutes - but the pace and movement of the France attack was soon proving too much for manager Gareth Southgate's experimental three-man defence.
Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton, who played for 45 minutes before being replaced by Stoke City's Jack Butland, managed to keep out efforts from Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembele, only for first Samuel Umtiti and then Djibril Sidibe to pounce and put the hosts ahead at the break.
England were level three minutes after half-time when Kane scored from the penalty spot following a collision between Raphael Varane and Dele Alli which required the intervention of the video assistant referee Marco Guido.
He confirmed referee Davide Massa's original decision to award the spot-kick, resulting in the sending off of Varane, much to the disgust of the France players and the home crowd.
France, inspired by the brilliance of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, Borussia Dortmund forward Dembele and 18-year-old Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe, were unbowed and tormented England's defence. It was no surprise when their winner came 12 minutes from time -and fittingly it was Mbappe who set up Dembele for a powerful, low finish.
It was a night when there were emotional scenes before kick-off, with the crowd singing the Oasis hit Don't Look Back In Anger and France fans joining England supporters in singing the national anthem in memory of those who died in the Manchester and London attacks.

England manager Southgate is at pains to point out that he has made no decision on his next permanent captain - but surely there is now no other choice but Kane.
Kane not only added another two goals to the late equaliser he scored against Scotland in Saturday's World Cup qualifier, taking his tally to an impressive eight in 19 appearances, he carries himself with an assured air that makes him a natural fit as a player and captain at this level.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson may come into consideration when fit but Kane is a mature and popular individual who, barring misfortune, will lead England's attack for years to come.
Southgate may not have made his mind up yet, or at least not made his thoughts public, but it is hard to see anyone but Kane as England's long-term skipper.
The pre-match talk was of Southgate exploring the possibility of using John Stones in a defensive midfield role after bemoaning his lack of options in that department.
Stones was doing his day job as a central defender in France - and struggled desperately in the face of the verve and threat France provided with the likes of Mbappe and Dembele.
Dembele embarrassed Manchester City's £47.5m defender when he stepped inside him in the build-up to Sidibe's second goal for France and Stones was reduced to hauling back the brilliant Mbappe when he proved too much for him again in the second half.
The 23-year-old has undoubted talent but had a difficult first campaign at Etihad Stadium and his performance must be placed in the context of a lack of game time after suffering a muscular injury towards the end of last season.
This, however, was an uncomfortable night for a player Southgate will be counting on in the future.
Southgate employed his plan of using Burnley's Tom Heaton as his first-half goalkeeper at Stade de France and then replacing him with Stoke's Jack Butland after the break.
Heaton, 31, will look back on a painful night when he was not afforded protection by his defenders and two decent saves from Giroud and Dembele only resulted in goals for Umtiti and Sidibe.
Some may question whether Heaton could have pushed the efforts into safer territory, but his luck was out as England's defence neither shielded him nor reacted quickly enough in either situation.
Butland distinguished himself with a good block from Mbappe, a fine save from the same player late on and also did well to thwart Dembele after Monaco's teenage prodigy had hit the bar. It was a good night for the 24-year-old whose last England appearance in March 2016 resulted in the ankle injury that kept him sidelined for more than a year.
The use of the video assistant referee was the centre of serious debate after Varane was sent off for bringing down Alli before Kane scored England's penalty.
Referee Massa pointed to the spot before referring the decision to video assistant Guido, who was working with VAR supervisor Massimiliano Irrati.
After a delay, the penalty was awarded and Varane shown the red card - but it was hardly a convincing or definitive decision.
There was an element of doubt about Varane's intentions as he stepped across Alli and the decision was met with incredulity by the France camp and infuriated the home fans.
England travel to Malta for a 2018 World Cup qualifier on 1 September, while France host the Netherlands the previous day.

Leicestershire Police's assistant chief constable told the Loughborough Echo homeowners might "take notice" if they thought police would not investigate.
The Daily Mail re-published the comments with the headline: "Now police blame victims for being burgled".
But a force spokesman said the comment was hypothetical.
MP Edward Garnier has insisted police should "bear down on criminality".
7,994
burglaries recorded 2015-16
10.5
burglaries per 1,000 households
7th highest rate of burglaries per 1,000 households
4,314 domestic burglaries
3,680 non-domestic burglaries
The force's assistant chief constable, Phil Kay, told the Loughborough Echo he would "far rather" officers focus on preventing crime and protecting the public than spending their time investigating break-ins where carelessness may have played a role.
He also said: "What the National Health Service will say is 'we are not going to operate on you because your body mass is too high. They have not helped themselves to prevent an illness.'
"Yet if people leave doors or windows open there is an expectation the police will investigate.
"It is right that we try and stop it but it is right that people take responsibility."
More news from Leicester and Leicestershire
A police spokesman said the force "has no plans to change the way things are investigated".
North West Leicestershire Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said: "I would like to hope that the force are putting this out there as a way of reminding the public of the importance of not leaving doors or windows open.
"But it is their job to detect and investigate such crimes, not to penalise law-abiding citizens who may have made a mistake."
Mr Kay said he was not suggesting Leicestershire Police had any plans to change their practices, adding: "I pose that as a question."
Mr Garnier, a Tory MP who represents Harborough in Leicestershire, said the need to "bear down on persistent, dishonest criminality" was as important as the need to educate "foolish householders".
Steve Ballas said he received a call at work from a friend who told him: "They're demolishing your house."
Staff at Daniel's Demolitions were instructed to tear down the property at 200 Marion Street, in Bankstown.
Mr Ballas, who lives next door at number 198, had the wrong house number displayed on his letterbox.
"I was sitting there working away and I got a call from one of my mates and he said 'They're demolishing your house'," Mr Ballas told the BBC.
He returned home to find construction workers levelling his property. To avoid a confrontation, Mr Ballas called the police.
The families whose homes were demolished by mistake
"The police stopped them, took their details. They said 'You guys have made a bit of a boo-boo here - you've knocked the wrong house down'," he said.
Mr Ballas' property has a letterbox at the front which reads "200", when in fact he lives at number 198. The number at the front of his neighbour's house - the real 200, that was to be demolished - was obscured, leading to confusion.
Mr Ballas said it was lucky that the house, which he was preparing to let, was empty at the time. "Mate, there could've been people in there," he said.
He told local programme A Current Affair that prior to the demolition, he believed that the property he had owned for a number of years was in fact 200 Marion Street.
"All I know is I thought I owned 200 Marion Street, Bankstown, and it was a little house I was going to rent. But obviously I don't have that house anymore," he said.
The City of Canterbury Bankstown Council confirmed that the demolition was an error, adding that Mr Ballas' property was positioned between the numbers 196 and 200 in Marion Street.
An investigation is under way to determine the circumstances of the error.
Mr Ballas said he had spoken with the owner of Daniel's Demolitions, who he described as being "shattered" by the news.
"It was an honest mistake. Poor bloke, he was speechless," he said.
Amid the tributes to the entertainer, some fans have called for a statue of the entertainer to be erected outside a BBC building.
A spokesperson for the BBC said it would look into the idea of a memorial to mark his 75-year career.
"We are more than happy to look at what would be the most fitting tribute to a BBC showbiz legend."
Councillors in Edmonton, north London - where he was born - are also said to be considering plans to commemorate the Strictly star with a permanent memorial.
Independent Edmonton councillor Nesimi Erbil told The Telegraph he would hope a statue or plaque would be agreed upon in the borough.
The former host of The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and The Price is Right started his career at the age of 14 and already has a number of permanent tributes.
In 2005, a bronze bust of the entertainer was unveiled at London's Palladium theatre, where he hosted TV's Sunday Night at the London Palladium in the 1950s and 60s.
There is also a special plaque celebrating his record-breaking number of appearances at The Hippodrome in London.
Funeral details for the star have not yet been announced.
On Sunday, his manager Ian Wilson said: "The family have barely discussed let alone finalised arrangements. An announcement will be made in the coming days."
The game show host had not been seen in public for a while before he died.
He stopped hosting Strictly in 2014, and in 2015 he had keyhole surgery after suffering two aneurysms. His health had deteriorated recently after he contracted bronchial pneumonia.

Carl Beatson Asiedu, 19, who had appeared in CBBC's MI High, was stabbed in the heart near Club Life nightclub in Vauxhall, south London, in 2009.
Junior Ademujimi-Falade, 21, from Camberwell, south London, was convicted of manslaughter last month.
The Old Bailey heard the victim, who had been performing at the club, was attacked with a friend by a group outside the venue.
Ademujimi-Falade was a friend of the man suspected of inflicting the fatal blow. The suspect is believed to have fled to Nigeria.
Earlier, Mr Asiedu, the son of a pastor and a midwife, and his friend and fellow student Peter Lama - who was also stabbed but survived - had been performing there with their rap group Kid 'n' Play.
Judge Martin Stephens told him: "Your victim was a young man of talent and much promise.
"The devastation to his family is incalculable."
Richard Whittam QC, prosecuting, said: "There has been no suggestion that either of the young men had done anything to invite the violence visited on them."
Mr Asiedu, who had attended St Francis Xavier College in Clapham, south London, was attacked by a group including former school bullies who detectives believed may have been jealous of his success.
Mr Asiedu was about to start the second year of his degree at De Montfort University in Leicester in media production when he was killed.
He had recorded a single in 2007 and worked with the Black Police Association to produce a documentary for schools raising awareness of knife crime.
In addition, he had appeared in a small role in episodes of MI High, children's adventure series about school pupils working as spies.
They were not broadcast until last year, after he died.
The 22-year-old impressed during a short loan spell earlier this year and will return to Scotstoun on a two-year contract for the coming season.
Warriors assistant coach Jason O'Halloran said: "Brandon really impressed during his short loan spell.
"He is able to play in several positions across the backline."
Thomson, who scored a try in the first of his three Warriors appearances, can play at fly-half and full-back and has scored 26 points for the Stormers in seven Super Rugby appearances.
He has also represented South Africa Under-20s at the Junior World Rugby Championship and has played for Western Province in the Provincial Cup and Currie Cup.
Thomson told Warriors' website: "I'm very excited to be heading back to Scotstoun. I really enjoyed my short stint there earlier in the year and I'm looking forward to many more good times.
"The relationships I built in Glasgow was definitely a big contributing factor to going back.
"They are a great bunch of guys and made me feel at home right from the start."
Current Stormers team-mates Huw Jones and Oli Kebble will also join this summer as Dave Rennie - who takes over from Gregor Townsend as Glasgow Warriors coach in the summer - reshapes the squad he had inherited from new Scotland coach Gregor Townsend.
"Dave Rennie is an excellent coach and has done very well with the Chiefs, so I'm super excited to have the opportunity to learn and be part of his set-up," added Thomson.
"The likes of Huw and Oli also being there is awesome. It's like bringing a little part of home with me and I'm sure we'll do great together in Glasgow colours."
Thirty-four received a blue flag, which recognises water quality, and 31 landed green coast awards for the promotion and protection of quiet rural beaches.
Pembrokeshire topped the list, winning 10 flags and 12 coast awards.
Nearly a quarter of Welsh beaches lost their blue flag last year after a wet 2012 affected water quality.
Thirty-three won the international award in 2013, compared to 43 in 2012.
The blue flag award is issued by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), which rates beaches on categories including safety, facilities, and environmental management, as well as water quality and runs in 48 countries around the world.
Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies said: "I am delighted that Wales has scooped 65 awards, ranking Welsh beaches among the best in the world.
"The awards demonstrate the high standard of Welsh bathing water quality and reflect the diversity of our beautiful coastline, which is enjoyed by our communities and the millions of visitors to Welsh beaches each year.
"These awards also recognise the hard work of everyone involved in achieving and maintaining these high standards. We will continue to work with our partners, including Keep Wales Tidy, to ensure we achieve the highest bathing water quality standards possible year-on-year."
Two weeks away from his inauguration, Donald Trump seems to prefer the role of "candidate" - flaying his opponents and aiming arrows at the federal government from the enemy camp.
It is almost as if he does not want to accept fully that he is the new chief executive who will be dealing with official Washington from the moment he drives back from the Capitol as the president on 20 January.
And his weapon of choice, forged for him like a legendary warrior's sword in the furnace of the new technology, is Twitter.
No president-elect has battled like this.
Most of them go to ground, secluded with the staff who will take over the West Wing, and make their plans. Dream their dreams, you might say.
They have followed the golden rule: do not give too much away, because it will make life more difficult when the inauguration is over and the business of power begins.
The Trump Twitter account is not just a break with that pattern, but a challenge to the very idea.
His New Year tweet (one of them, I should say) wished love to everyone "including my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do".
The implication, of course, is that he does know what he is going to do. The trouble with his Twitter account is that it makes you wonder.
More than 34,000 tweets to nearly 19 million followers (many "enemies" among them, no doubt) and a narrative that has become a kind of stream of consciousness. They read like the unfiltered, disconnected thoughts of someone for whom patience is an ugly word.
You always have to say something, even if you say the opposite the next day. On Twitter, who cares?
Yet, the messages are powerful. One contemptuous tweet about the new Republican majority in the House of Representatives winding down the Office of Congressional Ethics led them to beat a humiliating retreat and cancel the plan.
Mr Trump's choice as White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said the other day: "Whatever he tweets, he is going to drive the news."
And, bizarre though it may seem, the South Korean government is poring over them. The JoongAng Daily reported that a Twitter-watching position had been set up in the foreign ministry in Seoul "because we don't yet have an insight into his foreign policies".
What insight will they get from tweets which have criticised the Central Intelligence Agency, praised Julian Assange - the Whistleblower of WikiLeaks and a bete noire to most Republicans - and praised President Putin, who gets more friendly treatment than all Democrats and some Republicans at home?
And remarkably the tweets take aim at the entire intelligence community in Washington. What precisely are the South Koreans meant to make of that?
Not too much, you may think, because who can tell how this mercurial candidate is going to be moulded into a president? We still do not know and what his Twitter account tells us - colourfully, astonishingly, sometimes hilariously - is that he is refusing to let us know.
Far from revealing what a Trump presidency is going to be like - as he says his tweets do - they have the effect of enveloping him in a thick fog.
Yes we know he will "make America great again", cut immigration, build his wall, cut taxes, be Israel's greatest ally and so on. But how he is going to build a White House team on foreign affairs and security, conduct relations with Capitol Hill, deal with allies in Nato and the rolling chaos in the Middle East, we have very little idea.
And when the first crisis arrives - as it will before long - will he be able to find the calm that he needs?
No president-elect in modern times has said so much and revealed so little.
We know how Mr Trump feels about almost everything, but about priorities, his approach to the compromises of power, the way he will deal with the bureaucracy - in practice we know very little.
A week or two before election day in November, one of his close associates told me that, if he won, Mr Trump had agreed that in office he would relinquish control of that Twitter account, because it would be inappropriate in the White House.
The satirists' loss, certainly. But, if it happens, a step into reality, at last.
Some day he has to stop being the candidate and playing that game, even though he enjoys it so much.
So the first great test for the Trump White House team is surely getting his finger off that keyboard.
The association has refused to approve Brace's accreditation for Glasgow because of her involvement at the 2013 Unified Kickboxing World Championships.
The Welsh Boxing Association has accepted the ruling.
Brace, 23, had been included in Wales' 10-strong squad for the Commonwealth Games to compete in the 51kg category.
"Ashley is a fantastic young athlete with bags of potential," said Team Wales chef de mission Brian Davies.
"Both Welsh Boxing and the Commonwealth Games Council for Wales are saddened that she now won't have the opportunity to compete at the Games in just two weeks' time."
Women's boxing will be appearing for the first time in Glasgow with Charlene Jones and Lauren Price the representatives for Wales.
The Commonwealth Games begin on Wednesday, 23 July.
The law bans protests without prior police notification.
Many believe the new legislation is aimed mainly at supporters of the now-banned Muslim Brotherhood and the ousted president, Mohammed Morsi.
Mass protests have led to the toppling of two Egyptian presidents in the past three years.
By Orla GuerinBBC News, Cairo
Taking to the streets will be much harder for Egyptians from now on.
The new law requires protest organisers to notify police at least three working days before a demonstration. They have to provide their names, addresses, and demands.
The security forces can ban or postpone demonstrations if they believe they will threaten public order. If trouble breaks out and crowds refuse to disperse, police can use tear gas, and birdshot.
Those who break the law can face up to seven years in jail.
The law was signed as more protests took place in several cities on Sunday.
Thousands of supporters of deposed President Mohammed Morsi gathered in Cairo and elsewhere.
They were marking 100 days since security forces broke up sit-ins calling for his reinstatement - violence which saw hundreds killed.
A similar protest on Friday in Cairo led to clashes with anti-Morsi demonstrators and police.
Mr Morsi, who has roots in political Islam, is currently on trial alongside other leading members of the Muslim Brotherhood on charges including incitement to the killing of protesters in 2012.
Human rights groups in Egypt rejected the draft law before it was enacted by interim President Mansour.
"The draft law seeks to criminalise all forms of peaceful assembly, including demonstrations and public meetings, and gives the state free hand to disperse peaceful gatherings by use of force," 19 Egyptian organisations said in a statement.
But Prime Minister Hazem Beblawi, speaking to the AFP news agency, said the new law was designed to protect "the right of protesters" and required them to give "notice" rather than seek permission.
Government sources were quoted as saying the legislation had been watered down to require three rather than seven days' notice.
Parliamentary and presidential elections are due to take place next year, but human rights groups have accused the military-backed authorities of anti-democratic tendencies.
Thousands of Muslim Brotherhood members have been detained since Mr Morsi's overthrow, though the authorities say this is part of combating "terrorism".
The project, which is being carried out by the Shropshire Hills Area Of Natural Beauty Partnership, is taking place on the River Clun.
Colonies of the protected species were depleted because of habitat changes and inadequate water quality.
The work will take about four years to complete and includes creating or improving sites to establish habitats.
It follows work that was carried out in 2012 to prevent silt getting into the river which was suffocating the species.
The new project will also repair sites in the river where the mussels can establish habitats.
The partnership said the work would, "provide a... refuge for this critically endangered animal".
WREN Biodiversity Action Fund, the Woodland Trust and the Severn Rivers Trust have funded the project.
The partnership's project officer, Alison Jones, said: "Besides the obvious wildlife benefits, a healthy river corridor and farm woodland delivers a lot more.
"Restoring the river habitats will add to green infrastructure."
Following a goalless first half, James Bolton was sent off after the break for bringing down Damian Reeves.
But, despite having a man less, the hosts took the lead when Hughes found the net from inside the box.
The win means Halifax have moved up to 19th in the table, two points ahead of 21st-placed Alty.
The visitors went close to taking the lead when Halifax defender Jake Hibbs cleared a Josh Ginnelly chance off the line.
Alty also had a chance to equalise late on but Reeves fired wide from inside the box. | Britain's Andy Murray said he was feeling "good" after practising three times on Friday as he recovers from a hip injury which saw him pull out of his final Wimbledon warm-up match.

Ray Jones, 50, was a passenger on the Kawasaki motorbike when it was involved in a collision with a red Volvo C70 on the B4246 at Blaenavon on Saturday.
In a tribute, her family said she was always "full of life, love and happiness".
The male Volvo driver, 46, from Blaenavon, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The man who was driving the motorbike was taken to Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny with minor injuries but has since been released.

The barrier is made of sand banks and water trenches.
It was announced last summer after 38 people were killed on a beach by a gunman said to have trained in Libya.
Tunisia's defence minister said the second phase of the project would involve installing electronic equipment with the help of Germany and the US.
Security forces said the defences - which aim to make the border impassable by vehicles - had already helped to reduce smuggling.
"Today we finished closing it off, and this will help us protect our border, and stop the threat," said Defence Minister Farhat Horchani on Saturday.
More than 3,000 Tunisians have left to fight with the Islamic State (IS) group and other Islamist militants in Syria and Iraq but Mr Horchani said many had since returned to join the group in Libya.
Libya has been beset by instability since the overthrow of former leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 and currently has two rival governments.
IS took control of Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown, last year.
Emergency services were called to the scene at about 11:00, when a green Vauxhall Corsa left the northbound carriageway.
A man in his 20s and a woman in her 30s have been taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. The extent of their injuries is not yet known.
Crash investigations are under way and Police Scotland appealed for witnesses.
Reports say the men were seized from buses travelling from the town of Afrin to the city of Aleppo.
Officials from the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) have blamed Jaysh al-Islam (Army of Islam) for the kidnapping but this has not been confirmed.
The Kurdish hostages were released in an alleged prisoner exchange.
Reports said the men had been held in a town in Idlib province.
A spokesman for the PYD said that the kidnappers had demanded the release of three rebel members detained by the Kurds in Afrin.
The Kurdish men had been taken from a convoy of buses forced to stop at a checkpoint on the way to Aleppo. A group of women and children were said to have been allowed to go free.
The PYD implicated the Jaysh al-Islam (Army of Islam) in the kidnapping but it is only one of a number of Islamic rebel factions operating in the area.
The al-Nusra Front is active in the region. It helped capture the city of Idlib from government forces at the end of March.
Idlib is only the second provincial centre to fall into rebel hands, after Raqqa was seized by Islamic State (IS).
Syria's bloody conflict, which has entered its fifth year, has claimed the lives of more than 200,000 Syrians.
The battle between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, rebels opposed to his rule and jihadist militants from IS has driven more than 11 million people from their homes.
Dr Andrew Goodall said a choice may have to be made between non-urgent surgery and emergency care.
He also suggested extra money recently allocated to the NHS would help it cope with extra demands.
But Dr Goodall said cancellations would be a last resort and he was confident staff would "step up to the mark".
"We know from our own evidence and statistics January will be busier," he told BBC Wales.
"Health boards will make judgements to postpone surgery, as in not booking patients in in the first place, in order to be able to focus on some of the pressures on the front door... we have other plans in place to draw patients through (the system) very quickly and discharge them very quickly."
Two hospitals, Morriston in Swansea and the Princess of Wales in Bridgend, have already cancelled some surgical procedures until after Christmas.
"Inevitably some health boards will make some decisions on a daily basis to cancel, although that would need to be a point of last resort," Dr Goodall said.
"But they will try to avoid cancellation in the first place because they know in January and February they need to focus on emergency pressure."

The rig has 280 tonnes of diesel oil onboard and Stornoway Coastguard has blocked access to the area.
The Transocean Winner rig, was bound for Malta, when it broke free from its tug.
A temporary exclusion zone of 300m has also been implemented around the rig.
A spokesman for the Western Isles Emergency Planning Co-ordinating Group (WIEPCG) said: "We would also ask the public to refrain from parking on roadside verges on the main road, not to cross hazardous ground and upset livestock - particularly in the Dalbeg area.
"Following the weather conditions of the past 48 hours, coastal paths are particularly hazardous and present a danger to the public who are attempting to gain access to this area."
Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention, said those involved in the salvage operation were moving as quickly as possible, but added that the work could take some time.
Mr Shaw, who is overseeing the salvage work, said: "This initial recce will be checking a number of things including fuel tanks.
"Weather permitting, it's then intended to put a second larger group of salvors on tomorrow to carry out a more detailed inspection."
Three vessels including the emergency towing vessel Herakles are the scene of the grounding.
Union Bear, a multipurpose offshore vessel, has also arrived at Stornoway Harbour from Aberdeen to assist in the salvage operation.
Angus MacLeod, chairman of Carloway Community Council, told BBC Alba that it was fortunate the grounding had not involved another form of marine traffic.
He said: "If that had happened to a loaded oil tanker the place would have been devastated.
"There are a lot of people around here whose livelihoods are dependent on fishing, fish farming and tourism."
Mr MacLeod added: "The community here is within a matter of yards from the shore."
Events that led to the Transocean Winner coming ashore on Lewis began on Sunday evening, according to Western Isles MP Angus MacNeil.
18:15 Sunday: Crew of Alp Forward, the tug towing the drilling rig, call for assistance in heavy seas while off the west coast of the Western Isles.
18:30 Sunday: Coastguard emergency towing vessel Herakles begins its journey from Kirkwall in Orkney.
04:15 Monday: Towing line between the rig and Alp Forward breaks.
07:30: Transocean Winner runs aground at Dalmore near Carloway on Lewis.
12:30: Herakles arrives at the scene of the grounding.
There were no personnel aboard the 17,000-tonne drilling rig when it became detached from a tug boat in the early hours of Monday, 8 August.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch has begun an inquiry into what happened when the semi-submersible platform which was being towed from Norway to Malta.
It is understood that from Malta, the rig was to be taken to a yard in Turkey to be scrapped.
Scottish Environment Minister Roseanna Cunningham said: "We are in close contact with the UK government, which is responsible for managing the response, as well as the emergency services and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.
"They are working to ensure the rig is secured and to minimise any immediate safety or environmental risks."
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said it was monitoring for any pollution from the rig.
Salvage company Smit has been mobilised to deal with the incident, the agency added.
The beach, near Carloway, is a well-known Western Isles beauty spot and is popular with surfers.
An emergency towing vessel (ETV) has been sent to the scene from the Northern Isles.
Western Isles SNP MSP Alasdair Allan and MP Angus MacNeil said the incident underlined the need for Scotland to have two emergency tugs.
Scotland used to have two of the boats available to the coastguard to cover the north and west coasts before the UK government reduced the service to a single ship in 2012.
Ulster Farmer's Union president Ian Marshall told MPs that there were "husbands and wives who are completely opposed on this".
He said it was a "head versus heart" debate for many.
Mr Marshall said farmers were balancing the need for access to European markets against concerns over loss of identity.
But he repeated the union's position that in the "absence of a compelling case" for exit, it believed continued EU membership was the better option.
He told MPs that farming was not delivering profits and the industry relied on subsidies to survive.
Mr Marshall and the union's chief executive Wesley Aston were giving evidence to a parliamentary inquiry into issues around the referendum.
During more than an hour of evidence they were asked about subsidies, red tape and access to markets.
The officials said Northern Ireland's 30,000 farmers needed "information, guarantees and assurances to come to an informed decision".
The DUP's Ian Paisley said in "every day" of his 18 years as an elected representative he had had complaints from farmers about the complexity of the Common Agricultural Policy.
And he insisted that after an exit, the UK government would continue to provide financial support to farmers.
Mr Aston said key elements of any new UK arrangement post-Brexit would be a continuation of subsidies and measures to reduce red tape.
MPs were told that in 2013/14 farmers received £266m in direct subsidy support and a further £83m went to the wider rural economy.
The union officials questioned whether the UK government would replace EU subsidies to the same level.
Mr Marshall said in the absence of guarantees they would have "huge concerns" about what any new UK scheme would potentially look like.
Qatar is using income from its large gas reserves to bankroll its regional and global ambitions. It has won a controversial bid to host the 2022 Football World Cup.
Not all of its regional interventions are popular with other Arab leaders, like its support for the Palestinian Hamas faction in Gaza and Islamist groups in Egypt and Syria. In 2017 Saudi Arabia led efforts to cut the country off to force it to abandon its alleged support for terrorism.
It also faces some problems at home. Oil money funds an all-embracing welfare state, with many services free or heavily subsidised, but the treatment of migrant workers is frequently criticized by rights groups.

Emir: Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani took over from his father in a peaceful transfer of power in June 2013.
He is deputy commander of the armed forces and head of the National Olympic Committee, and in recent years had taken on increasing military and security responsibilities.
Like his father, he was educated in Britain: he went to Sherborne school in Dorset and Sandhurst, the British military academy.
Influential pan-Arab and international TV broadcaster Al-Jazeera, which is owned by the government, has raised Qatar's media profile.
Al-Jazeera Arabic can be outspoken on subjects deemed as sensitive in the region, but avoids criticism of Qatar and its Gulf allies, specifically Saudi Arabia. It has faced curbs in several Arab countries where it has ruffled feathers.
Qatar's main daily newspapers have links to the ruling family and there is little or no critical reporting of domestic or foreign policy affairs. The government also filters the material available to the 2.2 million people online in the country, blocking material deemed offensive to Islam, pornographic content and online privacy resources.
Some key dates in Qatar's history:
1700s - Migrants establish pearling and trading settlements along the coast of present-day Qatar.
1916 - Deal signed under which Britain controls Qatar's external affairs in return for guaranteeing its protection.
1939 - Oil reserves discovered. Exploitation is delayed by Second World War, but oil comes to replace pearling and fishing as Qatar's main source of revenue.
2005 June - Qatar's first written constitution comes into effect, providing for some democratic reforms.
2017 June - Diplomatic crisis as Saudi Arabia leads an air, land and sea blockade by Arab countries, in an attempt to get Qatar to cut its alleged connections with terrorism and distance itself from Iran.
The former head of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Prof Trevor Purt, stepped down in October after it was placed in special measures for two years.
On Monday, the board announced Gary Doherty would take up the role.
Mr Doherty has held the equivalent post at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust since April 2013.
Chair of the board, Dr Peter Higson, said he was "confident" Mr Doherty could "build on the improvements" made by Simon Dean, who took over as interim boss in June, after Prof Purt's suspension.
"Gary is hugely capable and experienced and has led an extensive programme of improvement at Blackpool with success.
"He possesses the skills and qualities that we were seeking and that are so important in a chief executive, and on behalf of the board, I warmly welcome him to north Wales."
Betsi Cadwaladr has been under the highest level of Welsh government intervention for six months.
A report in May found "institutional abuse" at the Tawel Fan mental health ward Denbighshire's Glan Clwyd Hospital.
In June, it emerged there was a fraud investigation into aspects of the board's spending plans.
Two weeks ago the board announced contentious plans to suspend consultant-led maternity care at Glan Clwyd Hospital had been scrapped.
Mr Doherty, who has worked at the NHS for 20 years, said he was "very proud" to have come through the "tough" recruitment process, adding: "While we face many challenges I know that we have many strengths to build on."
He said his "key focus" would be listening to the voices of patients, staff, the public and partners to keep up the "rapid improvements" while also building a "long-term vision for the future".
His start date is yet to be agreed.
The pair have had an and the tension surfaced again at Old Trafford.
Benitez said: "I was waiting for him at the beginning, so you should ask him. I have education. I was ready.
"I know a lot of people were watching and I knew what to do."
"Benitez has been on a starvation diet when it comes to getting credit from Chelsea's supporters since he arrived in succession to sacked Roberto Di Matteo. They must find it in their hearts to afford him some here"
He added: "It's up to him. I was in the way waiting. If you are brave enough, ask him."
A growing animosity between Ferguson and Benitez, formerly on friendly terms, came to a head in January 2009 when the then Liverpool manager famously claimed the Scot received preferential treatment from the football authorities.
"Everyone can see that I'm talking about facts," the Liverpool manager told journalists. "I'm just saying things that everybody can see."
Most recently, Ferguson described the former Valencia and Inter Milan boss as a "lucky manager" after he landed the post at Stamford Bridge.
The pair again failed to shake hands at the final whistle on Sunday after Chelsea staged a stirring comeback from 2-0 down, goals from substitute Eden Hazard and Ramires in the second half setting up a replay at Stamford Bridge for the right to face Manchester City in the semi-final.
Early strikes from Javier Hernandez and the recalled Wayne Rooney had put United in command.
Benitez explained: "I was with my players, celebrating."
The ties will take place at Wembley on the weekend of 13 and 14 April.
It is not the first controversy surrounding Ferguson and a handshake. In February 2012, when Luis Suarez refused to shake Patrice Evra's hand before a match, Ferguson said: "I couldn't believe Suarez refused Evra's handshake. You saw the referee [Phil Dowd]. He didn't know what to do. It was a terrible start to the game and it created a terrible atmosphere.
"Suarez is a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club. He should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again. He could have caused a riot."
At Old Trafford, Chelsea ended the game in the ascendancy and Benitez said: "We have analysed the game and we deserved to win.
"We had some good counter-attacks even when we were two goals down in the first half and in the second half we were on top of them with some good football, great team spirit and working hard with passion and commitment."
Benitez changed the course of the game just after the break when he replaced Frank Lampard and Victor Moses with Hazard and Jon Mikel Obi.
He said: "I am a professional. We had been to Romania in the Europa League on Thursday and I knew we had players who would be tired and we had to manage the squad.
"We started with fresh legs but knew we would have to make substitutions and Hazard is a player with quality who can change [a game]."
As the leads poured in on Friday morning, it was clear that the party was steaming ahead to India's biggest election victory in 30 years. This, after two losing two elections in a row - the party was able to mop up only 116 seats in 2009.
Today, the BJP on its own is on course to win more than the 272 which it needs to gain a simple majority, and its 28-party coalition is leading the vote count in over 300 seats.
The scale of victory is truly gigantic in India's fractured polity where no party has managed to get a simple majority since Congress in 1984 won 415 seats riding on a sympathy wave after the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
The results are a thumping endorsement for the BJP's charismatic and controversial prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, who made the election a presidential-style referendum on his reputation as a no-nonsense, can-do leader who stood for development and muscular nationalism.
On the last day of the campaign, I asked a bunch of BJP leaders on the flight back from Varanasi how many seats they expected to win. Most said it would be 240-250 seats.
Clearly the margin, as commentator Swapan Dasgupta says, is "beyond the party's wildest expectations".
"This is Mr Modi's victory. A man who was vilified, pilloried and cast as an ogre of India by the English-speaking elite has emerged as the hope of India," he says.
For the Congress - which is looking at its worst-ever performance - the results are an indictment of its inability to control inflation and corruption, a drift in governance and an inability to groom a new generation of young leaders around the country. And the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty is no longer the draw it used to be in today's restless and aspirational India.
Karon Thomas-Larkin, 47, taught five and six year olds at Cwmffrwdoer Primary School, Pontypool.
She was later dismissed by the school after turning up smelling of alcohol seven times in a six-week period.
She admitted unacceptable conduct at a General Teaching Council for Wales hearing in Cardiff.
The disciplinary panel was told the incidents followed a period of sick leave, after a serious illness where she was treated in intensive care.
Her union representative, David Browne, told the hearing: "This is a particularly sad case of health issues which had an impact on the set of circumstances."
The panel said her behaviour fell short of that expected of a registered teacher and "undermines public trust and confidence in the profession".
In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.
Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.
Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
Its successor, Paint 3D, will be part of the Windows 10 package.
There had been an outpouring of support for the program on social media, following the publication of the list on 24 July.
"If there's anything we learned, it's that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of fans," Microsoft wrote in a blog.
"It's been amazing to see so much love for our trusty old app."
There does not appear to have been a similar reprieve for other features on the list of casualties.
These included the Outlook Express email client, now replaced by Mail.
The Scottish Football Association asked Sheriff Principal Edward Bowen to investigate May's pitch invasion.
Fans clashed on the field following Hibs' historic win over Rangers.
Rangers claimed there were "a number of factual inaccuracies and contradictions" in the report.
The club said it would be "urgently" seeking a meeting with sheriff principal Bowen.
Hibs have so far made no official comment.
SFA chief executive Stewart Regan said its board would "consider the report in greater detail", and was "committed to ensuring that there is no repeat of the scenes that detracted from this showpiece occasion".
A number of people have been charged and one jailed following after-match events, which saw supporters invade the pitch and fights break out.
In his report, the sheriff principal said the pitch invasion was caused by "an exceptionally high degree of excitement" sparked by Hibs' last-minute winning goal, and that the "vast majority" of fans who ran onto the field did so "in a spirit of jubilation".
However, he said a small number had "behaved in a manner which went well beyond a manifestation of high spirits". This led to "direct physical confrontation with Rangers players" and "the hurling of obscene language and sectarian abuse".
During the match, the report said sections of fans in the section housing Rangers supporters had "merited greater police attention" than that containing Hibs supporters, due to "the discharge of pyrotechnics and the singing of sectarian songs".
He said that while "the overwhelming majority" of Rangers fans "behaved properly" and left the stadium at full-time, a small number had "allowed themselves to be taunted by the Hibs fans to the point of invading the pitch for the purpose of physical confrontation".
Sheriff principal Bowen said the layout of Hampden Park, which has a running track around the pitch, left police officers and stewards stretched and unable to deter the large number of pitch invaders.
He made a number of recommendations, including the installation of a "retractable tunnel" to create a secure path onto the field for officials and players at Hampden.
He said the number of stewards and police deployed at the stadium was "appropriate", saying there was "no basis for criticism" of stewards or security staff, and also said neither club was to blame for the incident.
The sheriff principal did not criticise stewarding or policing at the match, saying all agencies "played an appropriate part in seeking to clear the pitch". However, he said it might help to have a reserve of extra police officers at future high-profile matches who could be deployed onto the field in the event of a pitch invasion.
The report said there should be "full debate" about making encroaching on the pitch a criminal offence - similar to the law in England.
The sheriff principal said it could be argued that existing laws were sufficient, and that a specific offence would not have affected the actions of those who invaded the field in May.
However, he said "the very existence of a statutory prohibition might serve to send home the message that proceeding onto the field of play is likely to result in automatic sanction under the criminal law".
The report continued to say that it would be unfair to suggest that Hibs players running to the fans after the winning goal had caused or led to the pitch invasion, but said that it "may have contributed to the impression that direct physical interaction between players and supporters was an appropriate component in the celebrations".
He said referees should "continue to take a strict line with players who leave the field of play to engage physically with spectators", to "discourage the notion that physical interaction between players and fans is acceptable".
SFA boss Mr Regan thanked the sheriff principal for the "comprehensive" review, and said he was pleased that the report "acknowledges that the processes and procedures of the match operation were robust".
He said: "We are committed to ensuring that there is no repeat of the scenes that detracted from this showpiece occasion and will give full consideration to the recommendations set out by Sheriff Principal Bowen in respect of the Scottish FA's future planning of major sporting events under our jurisdiction."
The SFA's compliance officer is conducting a separate inquiry into the events of the match, while police are also investigating.
Rangers issued a statement saying they did not wish to do anything which would detract from the team's upcoming Scottish Premiership season opener.
However, they added: "It is imperative that we gain insight into the underlying basis for the findings in the report given that we consider it contains a number of factual inaccuracies and contradictions.
"It is right that the club gives the author and requisitioner of the report the opportunity to comment on our concerns prior to making a conclusive statement."
Konta, who came through three rounds of qualifying, beat American wildcard Louisa Chirico 6-3 6-0 in New York.
Bedene, 26, led Ernests Gulbis 3-6 6-4 3-0 when the Latvian retired.
Laura Robson went down 3-6 6-3 7-5 to Russia's Elena Vesnina, and James Ward was beaten 6-1 7-5 6-3 by Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci.
Andy Murray made it three Britons in the second round after beating Australian Nick Kyrgios in Tuesday's night session.
Konta, ranked 97th, will next play Spanish ninth seed Garbine Muguruza, while Bedene, ranked 57th, goes on to face American Donald Young.
Since losing to Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon, the 24-year-old has gone on a startling run, collecting two titles and coming through qualifying at Flushing Meadows.
A draw that paired her with 19-year-old Chirico offered up real hope of only a second main draw win at a Grand Slam, and the Briton took her chance.
"It looks good on paper but I don't really treat this win any differently from the previous 13," Konta told BBC Sport.
"I'm really happy I was able to deal with things out there and take my opportunities."
Born in Australia but based in Eastbourne since switching allegiance to Britain in 2012, Konta has moved her tennis base to northern Spain.
That new support team includes a mental coach, and Konta said: "We've been doing good work. It's a very open team, there's a lot of communication between all of us, and now I've got some good tools to use."
Britain's men appeared unlikely to add to the tally of wins when both fell behind early on, but Bedene was able to turn his match around before Gulbis retired with a wrist injury.
"I wouldn't say I could expect it," said Slovenia-born Bedene, who took British citizenship in March. "He was doing something with his wrist. I guess he was injured before.
"He was hitting his serve quite well so I don't think it's a big injury. But I guess he didn't feel comfortable to play."
Ward suffered a ninth straight defeat but remained optimistic about his form ahead of next month's Davis Cup semi-final against Australia.
"Obviously it's been tough," said the Londoner. "I've played in six of the top tournaments in the world.
"The last few weeks have been really good. I've been playing at a great level and I've been practising really well."
Robson's last victory at a Grand Slam came on the same court 11 at Flushing Meadows in 2013, since when she missed 18 months with a serious wrist injury.
After a first-round loss as a Wimbledon wildcard, and just two wins in smaller tournaments, victory over world number 108 Vesnina would have truly kicked off the Robson comeback.
Robson, now ranked 618th, came within two points of doing just that but ultimately paid the price for letting a 4-0 lead disappear in the final set.
A sliding first-serve percentage allowed Vesnina to attack the second serve, and Robson's ground game was not yet robust enough to withstand the pressure.
"Any loss is tough, but that one especially because if we're being honest, I should have won," said Robson. "That definitely makes it harder and makes me more determined to work harder for the next one."
Photographers across the west of Scotland captured dramatic pictures of the Glasgow scrapyard blaze.
The giant plume of smoke could be seen rising above the city on Sunday evening from 40 miles away.
Hundreds of images were shared on social media and submitted to the BBC website as the good weather offered incredible views of the cloud at sunset.
The smoke dispersed as fire crews worked through the night to battle the blaze at Japanese Autoparts. It was extinguished on Monday morning.

He struck twice as the Bluebirds rose to seventh in their 4-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
The 31-year-old former Aston Villa player has moved from central midfield to a wider role this season.
"I'm roaming it, in and out of positions trying to get in pockets," said Whittingham.
"And when you've got people like Rallsy (Joe Ralls) and Stuart O'Keefe finding you with the ball, it's always going to be fun.
"The last couple of years it's been a case of playing in front of the back four and trying to dictate play and trying to get Cardiff as a whole playing.
"It was always going to come to a halt at some stage, but I'm playing on the left now."
Whittingham helped the Bluebirds reach the Premier League in 2013-14 and hopes to help them reach the top flight again.
He says last Saturday's win will have impressed all their Championship rivals.
"The whole league will look at it and think 'wow, that was a huge statement by Cardiff," said Whittingham.
Cardiff now hope to underline their promotion ambitions at third-placed Middlesbrough on Tuesday.
"They're a good team," added Whittingham. "They seem to pass the ball around well.
"It's a game we've got to look forward to, these big games now, the games you have to be winning and that's what we'll go out to do.
"We're close to the play-offs and have a couple of big games coming up.
"We have to take it as it comes and try to steal some wins."
The 32-year-old suffered a knee ligament injury in January 2008 playing for West Ham United's reserves.
Collins says he was "virtually in tears" as he feared the worst during a scan on the injury.
"That's all that was in my head. I'm thinking this is never going to be the same again," he told Sport Wales.
The Newport-born player added: "I remember at my age looking at the fact that a cruciate knee injury - you used to see players not come back from it."
Collins made his Wales debut as a 20-year-old in a youthful team fielded by then-manager Mark Hughes for a 0-0 draw with Norway in May, 2004.
The former Cardiff City player says injuries have restricted his international appearances, but is relishing what lies ahead in France in the summer.
"I think I made my debut when I was 20 maybe. I am 32 now and only to be on 46 caps is not enough, really," Collins said.
"I've pulled out of a lot of games through injury and I was out for two years from international football with my knee."
Collins says "persistent calf problems" have also limited his Wales career.
"Every time there was a Wales trip coming around I seemed to be out," he added. "I wasn't playing at my club and obviously I was missing the Wales games.
"So to be involved now still, at 32, and having touched this successful (Welsh) period and enjoying it more than I ever have, is great.
"A while ago, looking at my Welsh career I thought it would probably never happen and to be involved and hopefully going into it (Euro 2016) playing well in a tremendous Welsh team is very exciting."

Butland, 23, had surgery in March after being injured in England's 3-2 win over Germany in Berlin.
The injury flared up again this summer and he has not played this season.
Stoke signed Derby goalkeeper Lee Grant on deadline day because of concerns over Butland's fitness.
"I'll be having a minor operation on Monday," Butland said in a social media statement.
"Rather than push through and risk damaging further, I'd like to have it sorted for good and be back to the levels I was at last year."
Having trained without trouble during pre-season, Butland suffered a training ground injury on the eve of Stoke City's opening Premier League match against Middlesbrough.
Forty-year-old Shay Given has played in every game so far and is expected to continue for the Potters in Butland's extended absence.
PC Robert Fitzsimmons, 32, told a trial he thought fellow constable Deborah Lawson was going to die.
He told the High Court in Edinburgh it was the most scared he had ever felt.
David McLean, 31, and Ryan Gilmour, 25, deny attempting to murder the two officers during the incident in Banner Drive, Drumchapel, last October.
PC Fitzsimmons told a jury that the pair had been called to a report of a man being chased by another man with a knife in the street at about 23:10 on 23 October.
On arrival, they found a dark 4x4 or people carrier vehicle in the middle of the road with its headlights on, which moved at a "crawl" towards them before stopping.
PC Fitzsimmons said he had struggled with the driver after he refused to get out of the car.
He said he discharged his incapacitant spray into the faces of two men in the car, after being concerned the car would be driven, putting the officers "in a life-threatening situation".
He said the car began to reverse and both officers were swept backwards and dragged to the ground.
"It was the most scared I've ever been in my life," he said.
"PC Lawson's screams will live with me for the rest of my life.
"I thought she was going to die and I couldn't prevent it."
He said at that point PC Lawson's head was about 3ft from the driver's side of the vehicle.
"I heard the engine of the car rev really loudly and I knew it was going to go," he said.
He said he had not realised the extent of PC Lawson's injuries until she failed to move.
At that point he grabbed her torso and pulled her out of the path of the vehicle.
He told the court that as it sped off, the car made no effort to avoid his colleague and without his actions it "would have run over the top of her head".
The court heard he had later identified the accused men in photographic and video identity parades as being the driver and passenger in the car.
Mr McLean and Mr Gilmour are alleged to have attempted to murder the two officers by reversing a Nissan car towards them and repeatedly hitting them with the vehicle "to the danger of their lives".
They also deny further charges including wilfully setting fire to the vehicle and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
The trial, before judge Lord Summers, continues.
Holyrood's education committee heard from councillors from across Scotland, who said it was "extremely difficult" to maintain schools spending.
Many councils said they only reluctantly accepted this year's funding offer after protracted talks.
Ms Constance said education was "at the heart" of the government's programme.
All of Scotland's 32 councils have now accepted the Scottish government's £10.3bn funding settlement, which sees local authority budgets reduced.
Many voiced reluctance after bodies such as the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) urged them to reject the deal. Finance Secretary John Swinney said he recognised that it was "not easy for councils to accommodate" the budget cut but said it was "a deal worth taking".
At the education committee, a succession of councillors spoke out about the impact the budget cuts could have on education in their areas.
Councillor Malcolm Cunning said his council in Glasgow would have to make savings of £133m over two years, which he said would "clearly" have an impact on education services.
He said teacher-to-pupil ratios would be maintained but said it would be "very, very difficult" and could see fewer support staff in schools.
Gary Robertson from independent-controlled Shetland Islands Council agreed, adding: "It is becoming extremely difficult to maintain education expenditure."
He said "constant cuts" to funding were making it difficult to close the attainment gap in schools, saying if this continues it could bring overall attainment levels down.
Robert Nicol, from Cosla, said budget cutbacks "will not make closing the attainment gap any easier", while Paul Godzik from City of Edinburgh Council said services such as music tuition may be affected by savings.
Ms Constance told MSPs that there was "a real willingness" from the Scottish government to work together with councils.
She said the funding deal was a "fair settlement", admitting it was "not without its challenges" but claiming the reduction in budgets was "less than 1%" once investment was included.
She said: "Within the local government settlement, education is a priority.
"We remain committed to teacher numbers and the settlement includes provision of £88m specifically to support delivery of the commitment to maintain the pupil-teacher ratio.
"We are investing in our schools - we have rebuilt or refurbished 607 schools - as a result of that the number of pupils in poorer or bad condition schools has more than halved since 2007.
"While we all recognise the financial constraints, we need to focus on what we can do with the resources we have. Attainment is increasing and the gap is closing, and we need to continue in that vein."
Council representatives voiced a concern about a lack of flexibility in school staffing due to the enforcement of the teacher-to-pupil ratio.
Ms Constance said the quality of teaching was one of the most important factors in raising attainment, saying she failed to see how reducing the number of high quality teachers in schools could help tackle the attainment gap.
Lib Dem MSP Liam McArthur said the ratio chosen was "arbitrary", accusing Ms Constance of being "rather disingenuous" by conflating quantity and quality of teachers.
He also said the government should accept the existence of multiple attainment gaps.
The cabinet secretary said the government did accept this, and said it was "setting a high bar" to close the gap between those least and most disadvantaged.
She said a "strong offer" had been made for all schools to invest in the workforce and insisted schools were "on the right road".
Newly-published documents reveal the Metropolitan Police is questioning the unprecedented size of the probe.
It says it needs months to assess which former officers need their identities protected - and does not believe all of them should give evidence.
Public evidence hearings may not now start before 2018.
Sir Christopher Pitchford, the inquiry's chairman, says he needs to hear from all the officers.
The new delays have emerged a week after the Independent Police Complaints Commission said it was investigating whether a Metropolitan Police unit shredded a large number of files that were relevant to the inquiry.
Theresa May, then home secretary, ordered the inquiry in 2015 after serious allegations against undercover officers.
She told Sir Christopher to report back by July 2018, something that is now impossible.
Undercover inquiry: The key allegations
Undercover inquiry: Why it matters
Documents published by the inquiry on Wednesday reveal months of tension building between its team and the Metropolitan Police over what the force should hand over.
Scotland Yard says it has so far disclosed one million pages and identified 116 surviving former undercover officers from the Special Demonstration Squad, the disbanded unit at the heart of many of the allegations.
The inquiry wants all of them to give evidence but Scotland Yard says that is unworkable because of the "immense" pressures it is under.
In detailed submissions to the inquiry, it says that the demands for evidence dating back 40 years are unprecedented. It is already spending the equivalent of 80 police constables' salaries on the inquiry and may need to have more than 100 officers and staff working full time.
"The Metropolitan Police Service recognises that a number of deployments [undercover operations] will be properly subjected to close scrutiny by the inquiry," says one of the force's letters. "This does not mean however that each deployment will need to be subject to the same depth of review. Many officers are reluctant to engage with the inquiry process."
In a further twist, the documents reveal Scotland Yard proposed that an unnamed detective sergeant would explain to the inquiry how it was managing secret documents even though the officer had been accused of destroying files on the Green Party peer Baroness Jenny Jones.
The officer has since been cleared of wrongdoing but the inquiry has insisted the individual cannot give evidence.
Can an inquiry into secrets ever be public?
Undercover police: 'Deception overseen by state'
In his response to the Met's plea for a delay, Sir Christopher said the Metropolitan Police would need to explain at a special hearing in April how the inquiry could work if it did not hear from all the former undercover officers.
"Their evidence is clearly relevant," he says. "The Inquiry needs to see that evidence... it might have been otherwise if the Inquiry could be confident that the documentary records of the Special Demonstration Squad were fully preserved, but they were not.
"It seems to me clear that there is no reasonable prospect that the Inquiry will complete its work within the three year period originally envisaged in July 2015, and that it is unlikely that evidence hearings will take place in 2017."
A key element banned transgender people from using toilets in accordance with their chosen gender, earning the measure the "bathroom law" tag.
The state House of Representatives and the Senate cleared the repeal bill after reaching a late-night deal.
The deal came hours before the state was to lose key basketball fixtures.
Democratic Governor Roy Cooper has signed the measure into law.
The deal was announced late on Wednesday by Mr Cooper and Republican state lawmakers.
Mr Cooper, who ran for office on a platform of repealing the measure, known as House Bill 2, said: "It's not a perfect deal, but it repeals HB2 and begins to repair our reputation."
Majority Republican leaders Tim Moore and Phil Berger said in a joint statement: "Compromise requires give and take from all sides, and we are pleased this proposal fully protects bathroom safety and privacy."
But the terms of the deal have angered LGBT activists and some of the state's most conservative lawmakers.
The law had required transgender people to use toilets in schools and government buildings that correspond to the sex listed on their birth certificates.
Although the deal repeals the law, state legislators will remain in charge of policy on multi-occupancy restrooms.
It creates a moratorium so that local government, state colleges and universities cannot pass measures extending non-discrimination on sexual orientation and gender identity until December 2020.
The compromise angered LGBT activists.
Equality NC executive director Chris Sgro said before the proposal was agreed that it was "a train wreck that would double down on anti-LGBTQ discrimination. North Carolinians want a clean repeal of HB2, and we urge our allies not to sell us out".
Mr Sgro added on Thursday that legal challenges could follow if lawmakers approved the measure.
Human Rights Campaign president Chad Griffin said: "At its core, it's a state-wide prohibition on equality."
Businesses, entertainers and sports teams had boycotted North Carolina in the wake of the law's passage last year.
Its largest city, Charlotte, lost the National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star game, which was moved to another state.
"Basketball is important to North Carolina; nobody is going to deny that," Senator Ralph Hise told the Charlotte Observer.
"But we've been threatened as a state and we took the coward's act and we're backing down. I can't stand for that," he said.
Republican Sen Dan Bishop, an author of HB2, called the compromise "at best a punt, at worst it is a betrayal of principle".
North Carolina was on Thursday set to lose its ability to host any college (NCAA) basketball championships from 2018 to 2022 "absent any change" in the House Bill 2.
The controversial bill will cost the state more than $3.67bn in lost business over 12 years, according to a recent Associated Press analysis.
Mr Cooper beat Republican Pat McCrory, who had signed the law, in an election in December.
The then-governor-elect attempted to reach a compromise over the law during a special session in December, but failed.
Critics of the bill say it has encouraged lawmakers in other states to put forward their own version of House Bill 2.
As of March, 16 states were considering bathroom bills, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Among those states are Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Illinois and Minnesota.
Ben Wallace said extremists were trying to carry out attacks in the UK because they were either unable to join IS overseas or had returned from there.
He said Europe was now under "constant attack" from terror groups.
Mr Wallace also warned there needed to be more understanding of the anti-terrorism programme Prevent.
It comes after IS said it was behind the Barcelona attack on 17 August when a van drove down Las Ramblas, killing 13 and injuring scores more.
The terror group lost its Mosul stronghold to Iraqi forces last month and international efforts to bring down its "capital" Raqqa in Syria continue.
IS seized Raqqa in 2014 and established its headquarters there, with former prime minister David Cameron calling it "the head of the snake".
Mr Wallace told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I think the threat is still increasing, partly driven by the fact Isis is collapsing in Syria and people are either unable to get out there to fight for Isis and so they look to do something at home, or also because people have come back and tried to inspire people with their stories and tales of the caliphate.
"I think those two things mean that the threat is to some extent increasing."
The security minister also said it was vital for people to engage with the government's anti-terrorism programme, Prevent, which aims to stop people from becoming radicalised.
But he said he disagreed with comments from the police lead for Prevent who said the programme should be compulsory.
Under the scheme, police and other organisations try to build relationships with the public - including faith leaders, teachers and doctors - and urge them to report any concerns to them, but currently any engagement is voluntary.
Mr Wallace added that he had ordered the release of more information to increase understanding of Prevent and its successes to get more people to engage with it.
"There's no ifs and buts nowadays.
"If we're going to stop these people who use everyday items such as vehicles and kitchen knives to murder people on our streets, we are going to have to all engage together with Prevent and we are having real success when we do that."
Mr Wallace added: "We must offer an alternative and help people be protected from that [radicalisation]."
The average viewer watched three hours and 55 minutes of TV a day last year, according to commercial TV marketing body Thinkbox.
But just three and a half minutes - the equivalent of three 30-minute shows a month - was watched via mobile devices.
The average viewer now watches 12 more minutes of TV a day than in 2003.
Despite the low figure for non-TV set devices, it was still slightly up on the three minutes (1% of total viewing) recorded in 2012.
Thinkbox added the majority of viewing on mobile devices was on-demand and catch-up programming using services such as the BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, Sky Go and 4OD.
"New screens are making TV even more convenient for viewers," Thinkbox chief executive Lindsey Clay said.
"But, the more we learn, the clearer it becomes that the TV set will remain our favourite way to watch TV - especially as on-demand services become more available on the best screen."
Overall, daily linear TV viewing - that is, watching TV "live" rather than using catch-up services - fell by nine minutes to three hours and 52 minutes a day, against 2012's figure of four hours and one minute.
The lack of significant sporting events following the London Olympics, added to the good weather in 2013, are thought to have contributed to the slight dip.
However, the World Cup is expected to boost live viewing figures again this year.
The research also found the proportion of linear TV watched live fell from 89.9% in 2012 to 88.7%, reflecting the growth of digital TV recorders (DTRs) like Freeview+, Sky+ and Tivo on Virgin Media.
According to Barb - which measures TV viewing on DTRs for seven days after the original broadcast - 81% of all recorded, or time-shifted, viewing was watched within two days.
Thinkbox said it expected the average amount of recorded and playback TV viewing to settle at around 15-20% of total linear viewing, with the proportion of on demand viewing increasing as part of the time-shifted total.
The striker netted his first goal of the season in the 23rd minute, latching on to a Patrick McLaughlin flick-on and coolly slotting home, before converting Mitch Brundle's cross seven minutes after the interval.
Braintree, having had two big shouts for a penalty in the first half, pulled a goal back five minutes later as Michael Cheek tapped in after Jake Goodman's effort hit the post.
But Gateshead put the game beyond doubt with goals in the 70th and 82nd minutes, McLaughlin finding the net following a smart turn before Wes York buried Danny Johnson's cutback.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
They said the higher end of the market was stalling because of the new land and buildings transaction tax (LBTT).
The rate change has resulted in a tax cut on sales under £325,000, but they have increased above that sum.
Representatives from the property sector made their views known in evidence to MSPs at Holyrood.
Members of the finance committee have been examining the LBTT changes which came into being in April this year.
In a paper submitted by the Scottish Fiscal Commission to the committee estimated revenues under the new tax of between £203.9m to £243.9m, once the effect of forestalling - people bringing transactions forward to avoid the new tax - was taken into account.
That compares with the Scottish government's forecast for LBTT revenues of £235m for the year 2015-16, which did not include forestalling.
Under LBTT a rate of 5% is levied on the proportion of a property's price between £250,000 and £325,000, with a 10% rate applying between £325,000 and £750,000 and 12% above £750,000.
The Scottish Property Federation (SPF) wanted the 5% rate threshold to be raised to £500,000 and for the 12% rate to be abolished.
Chairman Chris Stewart said the federation's figures showed a 22.5% decline in sales of properties over £400,000 between May to September 2014 and the same period in 2015, with a 54% reduction in sales of homes costing more than £1m.
Sales to international buyers in the highest bracket were also down from 27% last year to 18% in 2015.
Mr Stewart told the committee: "This is not about feeling sorry for people in that part of the market, it's about allowing the market to function properly.
"Clearly the tax structure, that 12%, is putting people off... it's stopping people from investing in Scotland."
Similar concerns were raised by Philip Hogg, chief executive of Homes for Scotland, which represents the home building industry.
He said: "The impact of the tax at the top tier levels, the ones where the higher tax bands come in, has been quite significant and we're hearing anecdotally a number of our members stating that sales have either been stalled or have not gone through."
Mr Hogg pointed to evidence that buyers at the top end of the market were opting to "spruce up" their homes instead of moving.
Homes for Scotland was not calling for immediate change to the regime but wanted it kept under "close review" with a view to adjusting or tweaking the system if current trends continued.
Kennedy Foster, policy consultant at the Council of Mortgage Lenders, pointed to growth in the mortgage lending market in Scotland, particularly for first-time buyers, but cautioned this could be due to other factors such as low interest rates and a competitive mortgage market.
He said figures for the quarter ending September show first-time buyer numbers up to 8,500 with the value of loans granted for house purchase at £920m.
Prof Campbell Leith, from the Scottish Fiscal Commission, told MSPs: "The out-turn data is significantly below what you would expect given the seasonality you would normally expect in the data.
"This may be because of a temporary forestalling effect or it may be that the change in the tax regime has permanently subdued certain parts of the market and this will continue indefinitely."
The British Music Experience was at the O2 Arena for five years until 2014, and has now been reborn in the grand Cunard Building on Liverpool's waterfront.
It is exhibiting several iconic items from British pop history.
There are three of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust outfits, a suit worn by John Lennon, Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress... and Honey G's baseball cap.
Harvey Goldsmith, the gig promoter and museum chairman, said outfits from Honey G and other X Factor contestants were relevant "whether you like it or not".
"I don't think we've particularly singled out Honey G, but it's just to show the range of what we've got," he said.
"It's a difficult judgement call because we want to be an all-inclusive exhibition that tells the history of how music morphed from the beginning all the way through until today. And that's what it is today."
The British Music Experience features memorabilia and footage from almost every major artist and musical movement since World War Two.
There is skiffle pioneer Lonnie Donegan's banjo, a snakeskin suit worn by The Rolling Stones' Bill Wyman, Marc Bolan's feather boa, a silk suit from Duran Duran and Noel Gallagher's Union Jack guitar.
The Beatles are represented in their home city with suits, merchandise and the graffiti-covered door from the headquarters of their record label Apple Corps.
Goldsmith is hoping the museum will appeal to the hundreds of thousands of fans who already make the pilgrimage every year to the Cavern Club, Beatles Story and Liverpool's other music-related locations.
"I don't know why we didn't come here in the beginning," he said. "There's more of an emotional tie with music in Liverpool than there is in London. Liverpool is the home of British music.
"To be honest, where we were in London at the O2, we were lost, even though we had pretty good crowds coming.
"But we were a bit of an also-ran, stuck on the second floor at the back of the O2. I think being up here, we're a focal point, we're a feature, and not everything that goes on in life has to happen in London."
At the O2, the British Music Experience struggled to attract more than 100,000 visitors per year and its backer AEG, which owns the arena, wrote off the museum's £16.4m deficit after it closed.
The relaunched museum opens on Thursday, with tickets costing £16 per adult.
As well as having a prominent position near other attractions on the River Mersey, its new home - the Cunard Building - played its own part in British music history.
Post-war seamen known as Cunard Yanks travelled to New York from Liverpool on Cunard ships and returned with American blues and rock 'n' roll records that went on to influence The Beatles and other budding British stars.

The data dump was accompanied by a note addressed to the infidelity dating website's boss saying: "Hey Noel, you can admit it's real now."
The name of one of the files indicates that it contains nearly 14 gigabytes worth of data from the chief executive's email account.
However, there is a problem with it.
The archive in question has been compressed, and efforts to expand it to normal size bring up an error message,
"It's in a zipped format, and when I try to decompress the contents a message comes up saying it won't work," Per Thorsheim, chief executive of cybersecurity firm God Praksis, told the BBC.
"I can't yet say why."
The BBC has independently verified that the archive appears to be damaged.
Other files, however, can be viewed.
Mr Thorsheim said they appeared to contain collections of computer instructions.
"The one that I opened up - Avid.tgz - looks to me like source code," Mr Thorsheim said.
"I can't say [for sure] that it's from Ashley Madison, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is."
Another security firm that has taken a cursory look at these files highlighted the threat they could pose.
"If this turns out to be legitimate, which it in all aspects appears to be, having full source code to these websites means that other hacker groups now have the ability to find new flaws in Avid Life's websites, and further compromise them more," wrote Dave Kennedy, chief executive of TrustedSec, on his firm's blog.
Ashley Madison's owner, Avid Life Media, could not be reached for comment.
News of the latest "leaks" was first reported by the website Motherboard.
A Twitter user who provided the BBC with details of where the material could be found on the Tor Network later confirmed that it had been uploaded to the same place as the earlier leaks, and included matching encryption keys.
"Ultimately though the real test is the data they posted in the torrent," the Twitter user added.
"We'll see once people start to parse it."
The data dump comes days after 10 gigabytes of data stolen from the site was made public containing 36 million email addresses and other personal information.
Hackers calling themselves The Impact Team said they committed the act in order to encourage Ashley Madison's users to sue the business.
The news site Fusion has reported that at least one US law firm is already inviting members of the public to be part of a class action lawsuit against Avid Life Media.
The parade started in Trafalgar Square where hand-crafted floats led a procession to Shaftesbury Avenue.
Crowds were entertained with music, dance and acrobatics in Charing Cross Road, Leicester Square and Chinatown.
The London celebrations for the year of the sheep are the largest in the UK with more than 1,000 performers and volunteers taking part.
Organised by London Chinatown Chinese Association, the event included lion dances throughout Chinatown along with the Cultures of China, Festival of Spring show and a drum show by The Red Poppy Ladies Percussion in Trafalgar Square.
The event, a so-called silent disco, will see 160 people dancing to music while wearing headphones on Saturday evening.
The chamber at the north London site will also be open to public as the Regent's Canal marks 200 years.
Eight sets of lock gates on the Regent's Canal were repaired on replaced at a cost of £500,000.
The two-hour party will take place at Hampstead Road Lock 1A, with revellers able to book tickets for half-hour slots from 19:00 BST.
People coming to visit the lock during the day will get a chance to walk along the original timber flooring in the bottom of the lock chamber, and take part in events like free fishing session and canoeing.
Jeannette Brooks, development and engagement manager for the Canal & River Trust, said: "Never before has a music event taken place in the bottom of a drained canal so this is a world's first! We want people to come along and rock the lock at the silent disco!"
Graham Smith, construction supervisor for the Canal and River Trust, said: "Repairing all the lock gates at Camden (Hampstead Road Lock 1A and B, Hawley Lock and Kentish Town Lock) over the last few years has been challenging, but we're pleased with the work we've done and the gates shouldn't need replacing for a quarter of a century."
A gun was discovered in the drained canal bed which police believe has been in the water since the 1980s.
It is not in working condition and has "no forensic opportunities".
Interviews with 1,128 people found that 22% of people could name their own MP, compared with 38% in 2011.
The report suggests many people were "disenchanted" with politics, with the proportion saying they would not vote doubling from 10% in 2011 to 20%.
The public's self-declared likelihood to vote is the lowest recorded since the audit series began 10 years ago.
Despite the prominence of the eurozone crisis and the debate on the UK's EU membership, 57% of people did not correctly identify the fact that Britons elect members to the European Parliament.
The report from the Hansard Society - a charity which aims to strengthen parliamentary democracy and encourage greater public involvement in politics - also suggests that 33% of people believed peers were elected.
The society said "fewer and fewer people are convinced about the value of voting than at any point in the last decade", raising "serious questions" about the system of government in this country.
The survey suggests:
Some of the figures bucked the trend and revealed closer engagement:
Dr Ruth Fox, director of research at the Hansard Society, said: "These results, coming on top of the low election turnouts last year, should be an urgent warning to all the political parties."
She added: "The public's improved view of Parliament can perhaps be explained by the increased profile of select committee activity in tackling issues such as phone-hacking and taxation of multinational corporations."
It took place at 07:28 BST on Friday and follows events including an overnight vigil in Cardiff.
The battle in northern France was one of the bloodiest of World War One - with 19,240 British soldiers dying on the first day.
Remembrance services take place around the UK to mark the battle, which began on 1 July 1916 and lasted five months.
An overnight vigil concluded with a public service at the National War Memorial in Cardiff at 07:00.
On Friday morning, Swansea's Morrison Orpheus Choir will sing at a memorial event at Thiepval in northern France.
Around Wales, churches will be hosting community events.
At the Llangollen War Memorial in Denbighshire, a whistle will be blown at 07:30, followed by a remembrance event at 10:50.
Events will continue through the day, with St Mary's Church, Welshpool, Powys, holding a service at 18:00.
Needing 35 to win from the last six deliveries of their game against Swinbrook, Dorchester-on-Thames CC looked down and out in the Oxfordshire Cricket Association match.
Hosts Swinbrook had posted 240 from their 45 overs in the Division Four encounter.
With an over to go in Dorchester's reply, the visitors were on 206-7, with 54-year-old Steve McComb on strike against bowler Mihai Cucos.
The over began with a no-ball which was dispatched for six.
Ball two also went for six, effectively giving Dorchester 13 runs from one legitimate delivery.
Cucos responded with a yorker, from which McComb was unable to score.
Ball four (the third legitimate delivery) went for four and was then followed by another no-ball which also flew to the boundary for four.
The next two balls were flayed for six, leaving the scores level with one delivery to come.
Swinbrook brought the field in, but McComb advanced down the pitch to hit his fifth six of the over, winning the game and bringing up his own century.
"It was an amazing end to the game," said McComb, who has played for Dorchester for 20 years.
"240 is a tough target to chase in our league and we never looked ahead of the rate.
"I had nothing to lose in the final over and the boundaries weren't huge, so I knew there was a slim chance.
"I've had an arthritic ankle for many years and I can't run very well between the wickets, as the lads constantly remind me, so I either try to score a boundary or hop for a single!
"When they brought the field in for the final ball I knew if I got bat on ball we'd be OK."
Fellow Dorchester batsman Richard Sharman, who was scoring at the time, added: "I got so excited the scorebook's a bit of a mess, but it was a pleasure to watch."
So far in August 1,367 arrivals have been reported in Greece compared with 1,721 in the entire month of May.
The charity says the increase is partly down to insecurity since the failed coup in Turkey last month.
After more than a million migrants crossed to Europe in 2015, Turkey agreed in March to help stem the flow.
Most of the arrivals had come to the Greek islands from the west coast of Turkey.
Since the EU signed a deal with Turkey to halt the influx, the numbers have dropped dramatically but there are fears the reduction may not be sustainable.
And because of new rules that prevent irregular migrants crossing to the Greek mainland, record numbers have become stuck in increasing squalid conditions, and are becoming more angry and desperate, says the UK-based charity.
More than 10,000 migrants are currently being held on islands of Lesbos, Chios and Samos - the bulk of whom are fleeing violence and poverty in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
"Mothers with small babies are being forced to sleep on the ground in makeshift tents," said Katie Dimmer, Save the Children's director of operations in Greece.
"Children and breastfeeding women are suffering from dehydration due to water shortages in some camps, and tensions are increasing as basic services, such as toilets and showers, are stretched."
Average daily arrivals on the Greek islands have risen from 56 in May to 90 in August, Save the Children says. However, the figures are dramatically down from a year ago, when 107,843 refugees and migrants arrived in Greece in August alone.

The summer months routinely see a rise in the number of migrants attempting to reach Europe as they take advantage of better weather conditions to make the arduous journey.
Administrative disorder in Turkey following July's attempted putsch could partly explain migrant numbers rising once again. But deteriorating Turkey-EU relations could also be a factor in the rise, say observers.
In March, the EU pledged to work towards visa-free travel for Turks to Europe's Schengen zone in exchange for Turkey's assistance in curbing migrants crossing to the Greek islands.
But after a Turkish crackdown following the attempted coup, that looks increasingly unlikely.
Imad Aoun, of Save the Children in Greece, says that has prompted Turkey to relax its pursuit of people smugglers.
"This just shows the agreement is not sustainable," Mr Aoun told the BBC. "Last year everyone was moving through the islands within days, now they are stuck and more people continue to come.
"There is local fatigue and tension too. Locals rely on tourism and they are struggling to cope. This is making the situation worse.
"The route is still open unofficially. This is not being reported sufficiently. There's a fake sense of accomplishment in EU corridors and among EU leaders, as if this migration crisis has been resolved, just because the 'official numbers' are less than last year's.
"But Serbia is recording an average of 300 new arrivals entering the country unofficially every day - 9,000 per month. The Balkan route is wide open." | Tunisia says it has completed the first part of a 200km (125-mile) barrier along its border with Libya, designed to deter terrorism.

The couple, who were together for eight years, married in a hospice six weeks before his death and she subsequently changed her surname to Warren.
Mr Brewer had repeatedly made clear that his partner, now 28, should be allowed to use his sperm in the event of his death.
But he had not been given the opportunity by the fertility clinic to store the sperm for a prolonged period.
The case went to the courts, but in her judgement, Mrs Justice Hogg said: "The evidence indicates that both Mr Brewer and his wife were in agreement. He wanted her to have the opportunity to have his child, if she wanted, after his death."
She ruled that it was "right and proper, and proportionate" to allow the sperm to be kept until at least April 2023.
Mrs Warren, from Birmingham, said she was "over the moon" and "elated" with the decision.
But the HFEA immediately said it was seeking leave to appeal against the decision.
Sally Cheshire, from the HFEA, said: "Seeking leave to appeal may have appeared unsympathetic to Mrs Warren's very regrettable situation, but we owed it to future patients to think carefully about the implications of a complex legal judgement.
"We didn't want Mrs Warren's deserving and highly unusual case to pave the way for other cases where the wishes of the deceased patient are much less clear.
"Fortunately, we think we can guard against any such cases without having to appeal."
The organisation said it would write to fertility clinics to ensure they kept clear records of patients' wishes.
Mrs Warren's lawyer, James Lawford Davies, said: "It is unfortunate that it was ever necessary for Beth to go to court in circumstances where Warren's wishes were so clear.
"Along with the rest of the legal team, I am delighted for Beth and very pleased that her two year struggle has at last come to an end." | A widow's legal battle to keep her dead husband's frozen sperm is finally over after the fertility regulator said it would not take the case back to the courts. | 26,559,020 | 506 | 37 | false |
Scotland defender Jennifer Beattie lashed in the game's only goal late on after Arsenal had the better chances.
Defeat saw four-time winners Arsenal fail to reach the final for the first time in the cup's six-year history.
City will play at their own Academy Stadium in the final against Birmingham City on Sunday, 2 October, after their 4-0 win at London Bees on Saturday.
After City keeper Marie Hourihan had denied Asisat Oshoala on multiple occasions, the ball deflected straight to Beattie in the Arsenal six-yard box from a Toni Duggan free-kick with 11 minutes remaining and she fired in to win the game.
The winner came moments after Danielle Carter's powerful effort for the Gunners had struck the crossbar, and England captain Steph Houghton cleared the ball off the line late on to deny Arsenal again.
The first half had seen City go close to opening the scoring, with a Jane Ross shot deflected wide, before Arsenal forward Danielle van de Donk had to be withdrawn because of a concerning head injury, caused by a clash of heads.
City - who currently lead the Women's Super League One table and are aiming for a double - previously lifted the Continental Cup in 2014 when they beat Arsenal in the final.
Manchester City and England captain Steph Houghton: "When a chance falls to Jen Beattie, I've got every faith she'll stick it in the back of the net.
"This is special for us because the Continental Cup final was the first trophy we won, it's the only trophy we've ever won and that makes it extra special.
"It was good for me to get back on the line and do my bit at the end, it proved vital because Kelly Smith is always going to create a chance but it was just a relief I got back there to block it.
"We had to be professional and that emotion and adrenaline got us through to the final and we're thankful for that."
Arsenal and England right-back Alex Scott: "On reflection we had most of the chances and we should have been putting them away.
"We should have come away with the win but they came away with a set-piece but apart from that we weren't really threatened.
"I was proud of the girls today, that's as solid as we've been all season but a ricochet on a set-piece falls right to Jen and that's that, it's in the back of the net."

Three girls aged 11 to 14 said they were approached in Hornsey by a black man in his 20s who tried to convince them he was a policeman on 18 January.
A fourth girl was approached in a second incident just before 08:00 GMT on 19 January.
The Met said they had spoken to the girls and schools had been informed.
Patrols have been stepped up in the area, it said.
The man was not wearing a police uniform at the time, but it is understood he identified himself as a police officer.
He was described as being of a medium build with short dark hair and wearing a jacket with the hood up.
Ch Insp Jude Beehag-Fisher said: "It would be unusual for police officers in plain clothes not to identify themselves by showing a warrant card, and members of the public are entitled to ask to see one." | A man posing as a police officer has targeted schoolgirls in north London in a series of incidents the Met is treating as attempted abductions. | 35,360,264 | 192 | 35 | false |
Sean Sullivan, 20, had only passed his test the day before the crash which killed Timothy Malone near Cefn Bryn Common, Gower, on 31 July 2016.
Swansea Crown Court heard Sullivan had ignored pleas from his passengers to slow down.
He pleaded guilty to one count of death by dangerous driving and one of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Sullivan also admitted two other charges of dangerous driving involving two other drivers.
Prosecuting, Ian Wright said airbag data from Sullivan's car showed four seconds before impact, it was travelling at 98mph and the throttle was at 100% at 5,000 revs.
"Essentially, his foot was touching the floorboard," he said.
The court heard Mr Malone, who was was staying in a nearby caravan with his wife, Yvonne Howard, was unable to take evasive action or avoid the head on collision on the country road.
Addressing Sullivan in court, Mrs Howard said: "I am haunted by the images of the terrible events of that night - the last time I saw him.
"I cannot heal my tattered heart and soul. I go to sleep in sadness and wake up to sadness. My face is wet with tears every day."
Judge Peter Heywood sentenced Sullivan to five years in a young offenders' institution. He will also be banned from driving for four years following his release.
Speaking after the case, Inspector Steve Davies of South Wales Police, said: "Our thoughts, as ever, are with the family and friends of Timothy Malone who lost his life in such devastating circumstances at Cefn Bryn in Gower, last summer.
"This tragic loss of the life has once again highlighted the consequences of a young and inexperienced driver, driving at excessive speed, which puts drivers, passengers and innocent road users at risk of serious injury or death."
Reggie Cabututan, 30, was honoured by the city of Baguio and offered a chance to study and work in Australia.
"All I did was go back and return [the] belongings when I realised [they had been] left," he told local media.
His actions have won online plaudits all over the world.
Australian businessman Trent Shields in a Facebook post said that Mr Cabututan returned his laptop, passport and headphones worth thousands of dollars when he left them in the cab after he got out feeling unwell on Saturday.
"Reggie did not know the value of the contents, the suitcase was padlocked, and it wouldn't have mattered if there [was] a million dollars or it was empty.
"The real story should be focussed on his integrity," Mr Shields wrote.
"My friend and business partner Ace Estrada put together a small Facebook post to say thank you which blew up over night and became a symbol of pride in the region.
"Reggie embodies many of the values shared by the people of Baguio, and I was lucky enough to experience [them] on my trip."
In a separate Facebook post Mr Estrada said that as a result of his actions the taxi driver and his family would be going to Australia where he can complete a six-month software development course - run by one of Mr Shields' companies - in June.
"When he completes the course, he is guaranteed an internship with an Australian company, leading to a job that will pay him a good starting salary," he wrote.
"Just as we were leaving for the police station to file a report, Trent's taxi pulled in. Never was a sight more welcome than the smiling face of this driver. What an awesome win for humanity!"
Mr Cabututan was also presented with an award by the Baguio city government during a flag ceremony on Monday, the Philippines news website Rappler reported.
The 36-year-old left the Premier League champions at the end of the season after making 717 appearances and winning 13 major trophies in 22 years.
However, the centre-back only featured 14 times for Chelsea in 2016-17.
"We've made him a good offer and we have done the best we can," Redknapp told TalkSport.
"It's up to John now, but we would love him at Birmingham."
Terry is Chelsea's third-highest all-time appearance maker, behind Ron Harris and Peter Bonetti, and holds the club record for appearances as captain.
But he only started two Premier League games after September last campaign as manager Antonio Conte preferred Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta and David Luiz as his three centre-backs.
Redknapp recently linked up with Terry for Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick's testimonial match, with Terry captaining Redknapp's All-Stars.
He could become Redknapp's second signing as Blues boss, following the arrival of goalkeeper David Stockdale on a free transfer from Brighton on Tuesday.
Workers wearing harnesses are abseiling down Britain's biggest aqueduct to carry out maintenance which includes removing vegetation from the structure.
Constructed under the instruction of Thomas Telford between 1796 and 1805, the aqueduct stands 126ft (36m) high.
The cast iron trough holds 1.5m litres of water from Llangollen Canal and is supported by 18 piers and 19 arches.
The aqueduct and canal were made a world heritage site in 2009.
The work by the Canal & River Trust is part of an £80,000 project to protect historic structures along the Llangollen and Montgomery canals this winter, including Montgomery and Chirk aqueducts, and Ellesmere, Chirk and Whitehouse tunnels.
Stephen Doughty, Labour MP for Cardiff South and Penarth, said relatives of an HMP Birmingham inmate received a call informing them of his death earlier this month.
This was followed 30 minutes later by a second call telling them their son was alive, he said.
Prisons minister Andrew Selous has agreed to re-examine the case.
More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country
Mr Doughty, who is the local MP for the inmate, spoke in the House of Commons to call for an investigation into the incident.
He also criticised the "lengthy bureaucratic process" in transferring the prisoner to a secure mental health unit.
"I share the concerns of many honourable members about the situation involving prisoners with mental health issues and the risks they pose not only to themselves but also to others and, indeed, are faced by them in prisons and the concerns that the staffing cuts are having on that," he said.
Mr Selous apologised to the inmate's family "for being given terrible news that clearly wasn't true".
The 6ft 9ins Northern Irishman, who has agreed a two-year deal, joined Rovers from Wycombe two seasons ago, but made only four appearances for the club.
Mooney, 25, previously worked as a barman at Wycombe's Adams Park ground, while playing semi-professional football at Oxford City.
He told BBC Radio York: "I don't have much league experience so I aim to get as much as I can at York."
Former Northern Ireland international keeper Michael Ingham is also on the club's books, but Mooney said he planned to challenge for a place in manager Nigel Worthington's line-up as the Minstermen plan for another campaign in League Two after missing out on promotion following defeat by Fleetwood in this season's play-offs.
His contract with York will begin on 1 July and he added: "I've never been one to shirk a challenge and I'll work as hard as I can to make a positive impression.
"I'd love to help the club go one further and help the club get promoted next season, either through the play-offs or automatically,"
The number of seats in Northern Ireland would fall from 18 to 17, in what is being seen as an extensive redrawing of Northern Ireland's electoral map.
Outside Belfast, five constituencies would disappear and six new ones would be created.
The plans, which will go out for consultation, have had a mixed reaction from the political parties.
The proposals are part of a UK-wide process aimed at reducing the overall size of the House of Commons from 650 to 600 MPs.
The main changes proposed for Northern Ireland are:
The DUP said the proposals were a "first draft" of a process that would not conclude until late 2018.
"As we know from all previous boundary revisions, there are always major changes as the process plays out," said a spokesman.
The changes are drastic.
Every constituency is changed, in some cases changed utterly, as Yeats might have put it.
For the assembly, these changes will be very disruptive - not so much in terms of overall party balance, which should still end up proportional thanks to the electoral system, but in terms of the links between MLAs and their voters.
Read more analysis here: Changes will cause more dismay than delight
Sinn Féin MLA Alex Maskey said the party had concerns about using the December 2015 electoral register as the basis for the re-drawing rather than census data.
"There are further concerns regarding what impact a Westminster-led Boundary Commission will have on assembly representation with a possibility of a reduction of constituencies to sixteen or less," he added.
UUP chairman Lord Empey said the proposals had "brought many surprises".
"The commission's own guidelines make clear that new proposals should respect geographical considerations, any local ties which could be broken and the existing shape of the 18 constituency boundaries.
"In the proposals as currently presented, Lisburn and Ballymena both lie at the periphery of their constituencies and cut off from their natural hinterlands - while the 10 major constituency alterations bear little resemblance to what went before."
The Boundary Commission for Northern Ireland is an independent public body responsible for reviewing Parliamentary constituency boundaries. There are separate commissions for England, Scotland and Wales.
Under the proposals, first outlined in 2011, England will have its number of seats reduced from 533 to 501; Wales from 40 to 29; and Scotland from 59 to 53.
The researchers switched off these cells which meant they were no longer receptive to oxytocin.
This "love hormone" is already known to be important for many intimate social situations.
Without it, female mice were no more attracted to a mate than to a block of Lego, the team report in journal Cell.
These neurons are situated in the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain important for personality, learning and social behaviour.
Both when the hormone was withheld and when the cells were silenced, the females lost interest in mating during oestrous, which is when female mice are sexually active.
At other times in their cycle they responded to the males with normal social behaviour.
The results were "pretty fascinating because it was a small population of cells that had such a specific effect", said co-author of the work Nathaniel Heintz of the Rockefeller University in New York.
"This internal hormone gets regulated in many different contexts; in this particular context, it works through the prefrontal cortex to help modulate social and sexual behaviour in female mice.
"It doesn't mean it's uniquely responsible because the hormone acts in several important places in the brain but it does show that this particular cell type is required for this aspect of female social behaviour," Dr Heintz told BBC News.
To silence the neurons, the team used toxins that block the ability of the cells to transmit signals to other neurons - technology that has recently revolutionised the ability to study small populations of neurons.
"These circuits may exist similarly in other species, including humans, so understanding these circuits we found in mice might help us to understand why oxytocin has these effects in humans, too," Dr Heintz added.
The researchers also discovered that female cells were more responsive to the hormone than the equivalent cells in male mice.
Gareth Leng, professor of experimental physiology at the University of Edinburgh, UK, who was not involved with the study, said that the work was very interesting and added to a body of knowledge showing that oxytocin receptors are situated at many parts of the brain, facilitating social interactions.
"Oxytocin seems to be able to alter the way that certain groups of neurons talk to each other - effectively rewiring neural circuits - not a physical rewiring, but a functional rewiring."
The study shows more evidence, Prof Leng added, that oxytocin "has very widespread actions at many different brain sites".
"Oxytocin seems to be acting not like a conventional neurotransmitter, but more like a hormone within the brain itself," he told BBC News.

The agency lifted its outlook to stable from negative, as it affirmed the country's AAA rating.
It said the US economy was growing at a "faster rate compared with several AAA" peers and has demonstrated a "degree of resilience" to major reductions in the growth of government spending.
It added it expected the deficit to shrink further in the next few years.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the budget deficit for the 2013 financial year is likely to decline to 4% of gross domestic product (GDP), down from 7% in 2012.
Moody's said the decline was greater than the fall it had anticipated when it cut the outlook on US rating to negative from stable in 2011.
The agency added that growth forecasts for the US economy for the next few years were "close to the long-term average for the decades before the financial crisis".
"These forecasts of accelerating growth are supported by a lower magnitude of fiscal tightening, continued strengthening of consumption and investment, and somewhat better international economic conditions," the agency said in its statement.
Last month, another ratings agency - Standard and Poor's (S&P) - also raised its credit outlook for the US economy from negative to stable.
S&P had also cited a resilient economy, monetary credibility, and the US dollar's status as the world's key reserve currency as being the key strengths of the US economy.
In August 2011, S&P downgraded its US rating one notch from AAA to AA+, but Moody's kept its rating for the US at AAA.
Wenger has managed Arsenal since October 1996 and won the last of his three Premier League titles in 2004.
The 67-year-old's contract expires at the end of the season.
"I get the impression that that's it," ex-Arsenal striker Wright told BBC Radio 5 live. "He looks tired. You just feel that he looks winded. I feel that he will go at the end of the season."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Arsenal's hopes of winning the championship this season took a huge blow when Saturday's 3-1 loss at league leaders Chelsea left them 12 points behind the Blues.
Wright says he spoke with Wenger on Thursday night.
"He actually mentioned that he is coming to the end. I have never heard him say that before," said the 53-year-old.
"I was with him for a few hours. He didn't say to me, 'I'm leaving at the end of the season', but I get the impression, looking at him, that that's it."
Wright added: "The players have let him down badly.
"If he does leave at the end of the season, there will be a lot of changes. They should have a long, hard look at themselves. He has been so faithful to his team, it has been misplaced."
Some fans have called for Wenger to leave, with one holding up a poster at Stamford Bridge telling the Frenchman: "Enough is enough. Time to go."
Torrential rain, flash floods and mud slides wreaked havoc on Friday and early Saturday, killing at least five people.
Metrologists said it was the worst storm to hit California in years.
Forecasters warned residents in the north, including San Francisco, to expect more heavy rain on Sunday.
Meteorologists described the storm as "bombogenesis", an intense extra-tropical cyclonic low-pressure area, or "a weather bomb".
One man was killed after a tree fell and pulled a power line on to his car in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles.
A second person died in a vehicle when it was submerged by a flash flood in the town of Victorville.
Two others died in car accidents in the San Diego area, and another person was found dead after being swept into a creek in Ventura County.
Evacuation orders were lifted in the towns of Duarte on Saturday afternoon (local time).
The north of the state has already experienced fears of flooding at the tallest dam in the country, Oroville Dam, when more than 180,000 residents were evacuated from their homes last week.
Authorities at the dam have been working to lower the level of the lake and have said it has continued to fall despite the storm.
Launching The Culture White Paper, Ed Vaizey said arts and heritage must not be for "just the privileged few".
The paper includes a plan "to inspire" children "from poorer families" by giving access to actors and curators.
A review of museums, Arts Council England (ACE) and the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) will also take place.
The paper, which the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said was "the first strategy for arts and culture in more than 50 years", includes an "expectation" that all publicly-funded arts organisations "should reach out to everyone, regardless of their background".
Responding to the paper, the chief executive of the Creative Industries Federation, John Kampfner, said there remained a need to create a "comprehensive strategy that will embed across central and local government the centrality of arts and culture in all areas of British life and its pivotal role in the fastest-growing sector of the UK economy".
The Incorporated Society of Musicians' chief executive Deborah Annetts added that while she was "delighted to see the Government restate its real commitment to the cultural sector", she was concerned about "the absence of a commitment around intellectual property - something that lies at the heart of our profession".
The four-year Cultural Citizens Programme, which will see children from 70 areas around the country have "new cultural experiences" through "unrivalled behind-the-scenes access", will be piloted by ACE in the North West, North East and West Midlands before being rolled out nationwide.
The paper also includes plans to:
The culture minister said the "bold new vision" would "ensure everyone, no matter what their background, can access and enjoy our incredible arts and culture".
He added it could also "help us discover untapped talent that could become Britain's future stars".
Mr Kampfner said while his organisation agreed publicly-funded arts organisations could "lead the way in diversifying their reach" and "welcomed" new ways of ensuring the "resilience and long-term success of arts", the sector could not thrive alone.
"We believe growth and success will be put on a stronger footing only when linked much more closely to education and to an all-embracing plan for funding," he said.
"We are disappointed this paper does not emphasise the interconnectedness between creative companies and arts organisations, and that it does not make the case more strongly for arts teaching in schools."
ACE chairman Sir Peter Bazalgette said the paper was a "vote of confidence in the arts and cultural sector and the contribution it makes to all our lives".
"It contains a number of proposals that we look forward to helping government deliver, many of which complement [our] existing work to promote diversity and improve access for children and young people."
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said access to "England's rich heritage has never been more important".
"Taking part has a positive effect on the health, wealth and happiness of individuals and communities," he said.
"As a nation, we need to include and involve more people than ever before [and] we are delighted to be part of the effort to do this."
Souq was launched in 2005 and offers more than 8.4 million products.
It sells across 31 categories including consumer electronics, fashion, health and beauty, household goods and baby.
"Amazon and Souq share the same DNA. We're driven by customers, invention and long-term thinking," said Amazon senior vice-president Russ Grandinetti.
Some reports have suggested Amazon is paying about $650m (£517m) for the company.
The deal was revealed a day after Emaar Malls, the operator of Dubai's biggest mall, made an offer of $800m (£636m) for Souq.
Souq has more than 45 million visits per month and has localised operations in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
Mr Grandinetti continued: "Souq.com pioneered e-commerce in the Middle East, creating a great shopping experience for their customers.
"We're looking forward to both learning from and supporting them with Amazon technology and global resources."
Souq chief executive and co-founder Ronaldo Mouchawar said: "We are guided by many of the same principles as Amazon, and this acquisition is a critical next step in growing our e-commerce presence on behalf of customers across the region."
The deal should be completed later this year.
The US Commodity and Futures Commission (CTFC) alleges it and its former subsidiary Mondelez Global bought $90m (£61m) of wheat futures but had no intention of taking delivery of it.
The CTFC said their huge purchase raised the price of the commodity and earned them a profit of $5.4m.
Kraft recently agreed a merger with Heinz in a move that would create the world's fifth largest food company.
The regulator wants to apply a permanent injunction on future violations as well as to apply financial penalties.
In 2010, Kraft took over chocolate maker Cadbury, but in 2012 spun the firm off as part of its global snacks business Mondelez, which includes brands such as Oreo biscuits and Trident gum.

They will continue to trade for now as the administrator tries to find a buyer.
The high street retailer has 164 shops across the UK putting almost 11,000 jobs at risk.
Administrators Duff & Phelps will now try to find a buyer for all or part of the 88-year old business and said BHS had "no alternative but to put the group into administration".
If a buyer is not found, it would be the biggest High Street collapse since Woolworths in 2008.

BHS is "very unlikely to meet all contractual payments" as a result of its lower than expected cash balance, the administrators said.
The company, which has debts of more than £1.3bn, decided to bring in administrators after talks to sell some of its 164 UK stores to Sports Direct collapsed over the weekend.
It is understood any buyer would only be interested if it did not have to take on BHS's £571m pension deficit.
Last year, Retail Acquisitions, a consortium of financiers, bought BHS from the retail entrepreneur Sir Philip Green for £1.
At the time, Retail Acquisitions said they would deliver £160m of funding to help turn around the fortunes of the chain, but have not been able to raise the sum.
Last month, the brand was rescued from the brink after creditors voted to accept a cut in the rent bill for about half of its stores.
Despite the rent deal, BHS warned that it needed extra funding to continue trading.
It had been due to announce a new £60m loan last week, but failed to do so.
Just a week after passing his First Aid badge, Henry Hersey was on his way home from school with his father and younger sister, when he heard cries for help.
Between them, the family rescued 90-year-old Sylvia Downer who had fallen in her garden and was unable to move.
"It's amazing that someone so young kept calm and knew what to do in an emergency," said Mr Grylls.
Henry, a member of the 3rd Ringwood Scout Group in Hampshire, immediately raised the alarm when he heard Mrs Downer calling as he walked past her garden in June this year.
He told his father Will someone needed help.
The family worked out where the shouting was coming from and found Mrs Downer, who had been lying on the ground for hours with a severe cut to her head.
Will called for an ambulance, leaving Henry and his sister Anna, five, to find a blanket and reassure her that help was on its way.
Henry, who is now seven, then stood outside the house to flag down the ambulance and help the paramedics find their way inside.
They later said they were impressed by the calm way he handled the situation.
"Henry is a real hero, I'm so proud of his actions," said Bear Grylls.
"Scouting has given him these skills and Sylvia is living proof of how important they are."
Hampshire Scouts recognised Henry's actions at an award ceremony last month.
"My Mummy and Daddy are really proud of me, I'm so happy that I managed to help Sylvia and that she's feeling better.
"I really enjoyed getting my First Aid badge and learning how to help people who are hurt," said Henry.
Mrs Downer, who is recuperating in a nursing home, has also described Henry as a hero.
His sister is so impressed that she is planning to join the Scouts as soon as she turns six in September.
"At Scouts we teach young people skills for life and in this case they have saved a life," said David Evans, a volunteer at 3rd Ringwood Scouts.
"Scouts is about having an adventure and making an impact in our community."
It coincides with the publication of a report on Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, one of the country's largest mental health trusts.
It identified a "lack of leadership, focus and sufficient time spent" investigating deaths.
Mr Hunt said he was determined that the NHS learned lessons from the report.
Southern Health covers Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and provides services to about 45,000 people.
The report was ordered in 2013, after 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk drowned in a bath following an epileptic seizure while a patient at Southern Health hospital in Oxford.
His death was found to have been preventable, with neglect by the trust contributing to his death.
The report, which was leaked to the BBC last week, showed there had been more than 10,000 deaths at the trust between 2011 and 2015.
Not all deaths require an investigation, but of the 722 unexpected deaths, only 272 had been investigated.
And investigations that did take place took too long, were of "poor" quality and when concerns were raised by coroners and others "no effective action was taken".
And while 30% of all deaths were investigated in adult mental health services, fewer than 1% of deaths of people with learning disabilities were investigated and 0.3% of deaths in older people with mental health problems.
The report said there had been a "failure of leadership".
In a statement to Parliament, Mr Hunt wrote: "I am determined that we learn the lessons of this report, and use it to help build a culture in which failings in care form the basis for learning for organisations and for the system as a whole."
He said the Care Quality Commission would now undertake a "focused inspection" on Southern Health in the new year.
The CQC would "also be undertaking a wider review into the investigation of deaths in a sample of all types of NHS trust in different parts of the country", he added.
"As part of this review, we will assess whether opportunities for prevention of death have been missed, for example by late diagnosis of physical health problems."
Katrina Percy, the chief executive at Southern Health, said the report looked into patients who had had any contact with Southern Health and that "in most cases referred to in the report, the trust was not the main care provider".
Ms Percy said: "We fully accept that our processes for reporting and investigating deaths of people with learning disabilities and mental health needs were not always as good as they should have been.
"We also fully acknowledge that this will have caused additional pain and distress to families and carers already coping with the loss of a loved one.
"We apologise unreservedly for this and recognise that we need to make further improvements."
She added that the lessons of the report applied to the "wider health and social care system, and society as a whole".

Young people who had been in care in Scotland held up heart placards from the audience during the speech in Glasgow.
It was an emotional moment for the First Minister during her keynote address to the SNP's 2016 conference.
The Wellcome Trust team says a specific speech test accurately predicts whose stutter will persist into their teens.
About one in 20 develops a stutter before age five - but just one in 100 stutter as a teen and identifying these children has so far been difficult.
Campaigners said it was key for children to be diagnosed early.
Stuttering tends to start at about three years old. Four out of five will recover without intervention, often within a couple of years.
But for one in five, their stutter will persist and early therapy can be of significant benefit.
The researchers, based at University College London, used a test developed in the US called SSI-3 (stuttering severity instrument).
In earlier work, they followed eight-year-olds with a stutter into their teens.
They found that the SSI-3 test was a reliable indicator of who would still have a stutter and who would recover - while other indicators such as family history, which have been used, were less so.
It showed the test was highly sensitive and specific in classifying those with a stutter who would recover, those whose stammer would persist and those who were "fluent" - had no communication difficulties.
A fluency result is important because it shows the test can be used on unaffected children, which it would have to be if it was to be used to screen for problems.
This latest paper, published in the Journal of Fluency Disorders, looked at another 272 children with a stutter and 25 without, aged five to 19.
It showed that the test could reliably be used across the age range.
The researchers also found so-called "whole word repetition" was not a reliable indicator of persistent stutter.
Core symptoms were found to be prolonging parts of words, partial repetition of words or "blocking" on the first part of a word.
Prof Peter Howell, who led the research, said: "If we can identify children at risk of stuttering, then we can offer appropriate interventions to help them early on.
"Primary school is a key time in a child's development and any help in tackling potential communication problems could make a big difference to the child's life."
He told the BBC: "We had already looked at children aged eight to teens. But we wanted to establish if we could extend those findings to younger children.
"What the paper is showing is that the prospect of being able to screen children looks like a real possibility, based on this data."
Norbert Lieckfeldt, chief executive of the British Stammering Association, said: "The crucial thing about this research is that it seems to be able to be accurately predict which children will have a persistent stammer.
"That would be a huge step forward."
Mr Lieckfeldt added: "At five, there is still a window of opportunity to help those with a stammer.
"If we intervene early enough, there is a really high success rate of normal, fluent speaking, whereas for six- to eight-year-olds, the recovery rate drops like a stone."
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague said it could not examine Georgia's complaint because negotiations had not taken place.
Georgia said Russia and the rebels had used ethnic violence against Georgians in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Russia sent forces into the two regions in a brief war in August 2008.
Thousands of ethnic Georgians fled the regions during the conflict and many remain internally displaced in Georgia.
In a 10-6 vote on Friday the ICJ judges upheld Russia's argument that the court did not have jurisdiction to examine the Georgian complaint, because the two sides had not tried to resolve the dispute through negotiations.
Georgia said Russia had violated the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD).
The judges ruled that Georgia and Russia "did not engage in negotiations with respect to the latter's compliance with its substantive obligations under CERD".
The Georgian government said that despite Friday's ruling it would continue to pursue the case.
"The court has simply ruled that, due to a procedural technicality... the proceedings will not immediately lead to further consideration of the merits of the case against Russia," a government statement said.
"However, the court has left open the possibility that the case can proceed once the formal conditions for the exercise of jurisdiction by the court, as required by the 1965 convention, have been met."
In 2008 Western countries condemned Russia for penetrating deep into Georgia, beyond the conflict zones.
Russia later pulled its forces back to the two breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
In September 2009 an EU-sponsored report said both sides had violated international law. It found that Georgia had attacked the Russian-backed South Ossetian rebels, triggering the war, after months of provocation.
Poyet, 47, who left Greek side AEK Athens last month, had been clear favourite to become the new manager of Championship side Nottingham Forest.
Uruguayan Poyet steered the Black Cats to Premier League safety in 2014, but was sacked the following season after a run of poor results.
Poyet replaces interim boss Juan Merino at the La Liga club.
Announcing the move, Prime Minister Theresa May said return to work schemes would be extended to industries where women were under-represented.
She also said domestic violence organisations would receive £20m.
A £5m fund to mark the centenary, in 2018, of the act that first gave women the vote will also be in the Budget.
The prime minister said return to work schemes were open to both men and women, but told parenting website Mumsnet: "More often than not, it is women who give up their careers to devote themselves to motherhood, only to find the route back into employment closed off, the doors shut to them.
"This isn't right, it isn't fair, and it doesn't make economic sense.
"So I want to see this scheme extended to all levels of management and into industries where women are under-represented."
The schemes aim to give those who have taken long career breaks the opportunity to refresh their skills and build professional networks.
The government plans to work with business groups and public sector organisations.
Mumsnet chief executive Justine Roberts said women faced a "motherhood penalty" after having children.
"Whether £5m will be enough to tackle the discrimination returning mothers face is moot," she said.
"What's crucial is that workplaces embrace flexible working, which is what many parents tell us they most need."
On the domestic abuse funding, Mrs May, who is working to oversee a new Domestic Violence and Abuse Act, said: "There are currently thousands of people across Britain who are reading this right now and who suffer at the hands of abusers.
"I know they feel isolated and do not know where to turn for help.
"Raising awareness as well as strengthening the law will prove crucial in the fight against this life-shattering and abhorrent crime."
The 1918 Representation of the People Act gave some women the vote for the first time.
Chancellor Philip Hammond said it was "important" to educate young people about its significance.
The government has said it wants to cut subsidies to solar and wind power generation, saying it is "on track" to exceed its 2013/14 renewable energy target of 5.4% of all annual energy provision.
The solar power industry is not exactly delighted.
Jobs have been lost as companies have scrambled to cut costs and the sector has complained that the government is sending an inconsistent message on its support.
It appears they have found something of an ally in Paul Polman, chief executive of Unilever, the consumer goods giant (and maker of everything from Marmite to Domestos) that many agree has taken a leading position in the carbon reduction debate.
Unilever recently announced it wanted to be "carbon positive" - that is, generating all of its energy from renewable sources with capacity to spare - by 2030.
Without business action, Mr Polman argues, climate change targets will never be met.
But it needs support from government, and that is where the concern lies.
"In the UK, the government has just committed £5.8bn to the climate resilience fund [to help poorer nations most affected by global warming] and also [said it would] stick to the 0.7% of GDP for development aid at the same time," Mr Polman told me.
"So there are some positive things coming out of the UK in terms of helping on this conversion [to a lower carbon world].
"But there are also some areas where I would expect the UK obviously to be a little bit more progressive, for example the risk of reducing the subsidies for wind or solar would send the wrong signal at this point in time."
I said to Mr Polman that appeared to be exactly what the government was doing.
"Well, if it was my choice, I'd be very careful about that," he answered.
Because that could send the wrong message?
"I wouldn't do it at this point in time if it was my choice - but obviously this is a free democracy and everybody else has a voice as well."
Chief executives always get a little nervous when it comes to intervening in policy debates.
Amber Rudd, the energy secretary, argues that one of most cost-effective ways of reducing carbon emissions is by replacing coal-fired power stations with gas.
And that the renewables sector has to realise it is not the government's only priority and that budgets are limited.
"We need to focus on the right solutions to deliver clean, secure, affordable energy for families and businesses," a spokesman for the energy department said.
"We are absolutely committed to getting a global deal in Paris, which will create a level playing field for businesses, driving innovation and growing the low carbon economy."
Mr Polman agrees that government budgets are stretched in a number of different directions and not only concerned with tackling climate change.
"In an overall budget you obviously have to balance all these things," he said.
"You cannot discuss one little element if you don't see the totality, so I'm very glad that the £5.8bn is being pledged because that gives a great signal to other countries to get to the £100bn, and that's a courageous move at a time that we all have other things on our plates.
"But we would continue to push other elements on the agenda as well."
Business leaders arrive in Paris this weekend to join the United Nations climate change conference.
An announcement is expected on Tuesday about company pledges to reduce their carbon emissions.
Attendees include Ikea, Kellogg's, Mars and L'Oreal.
Mr Polman will also be there. Expect him to be clear that it is time for all businesses to take action.
And if that doesn't happen?
"Ultimately if any of us won't act, we put the lives of many people at risk," Mr Polman told me.
"What we're talking here about is the future of humanity to some extent. This concept of man's dominance over nature is rapidly being rewritten."
But he admitted he had to make compromises in his role as England coach, which involved a lot of flying.
He is currently building an eco-home, designed to meet the UK's highest environmental performance standards.
England's most capped defender was speaking at an event organised as part of World Green Building Week.
"I have always been interested in building, properties and renovation," he told BBC News.
"I self-built my first house at the age of 22, and then built another one when I was 26. Now, I am building another one."
When he was building his second house, he realised that he had made "a big mistake", but the project was too far advanced to change the design.
"Everyone seemed to be moving towards [the concept of sustainability]; buildings were changing and regulations were changing," the former Manchester United captain said.
"This is when I got really interested in that side of things, realised that I had made mistakes and wanted to change the way I lived my life.
"So I have had a transitional period in my personal life, from car to home, to become as efficient as I could."
The Nevilles' new family home, which they plan to move into next year, has been designed to reach Level Six of the Code for Sustainable Homes, which indicates an "exemplary development in terms of sustainability".
But Neville was careful to explain that he had to make a philosophical distinction between his personal and professional lives.
"In my professional life, I travel a lot by aeroplane in my ambassador role with Manchester United and with the England team," he said.
"It is more difficult. I love my job, I love what I am doing and I am not going to give up those roles and not travel.
"In my personal life, I want to be as efficient and sustainable as possible.
"Professionally, we will do the very best that we can but, as with every commercial project, there is the balance of achieving what you want on the financial and commercial side against achieving a sustainable solution."
However, he has been able to combine his status as a high-profile sportsman with his environmental credentials in Sustainability in Sport, an organisation he co-founded with Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity and chairman of Forest Green Rovers.
"We believe in the power of sport to deliver a message. You have seen over the past 12-18 months, the way that the Olympics and football transcends all social issues. In fact, it brings social issues that are a problem in society to a head through football."
He acknowledged that communicating what sustainability meant was a difficult message to get across to people.
But, he added: "Through my connections with sport and my interest in sustainability, I thought that we would bring something together to create a foundation to spread the word and to get people involved and engaged.
"Initially, it is about engagement and awareness but, hopefully, we ultimately want to create an impact. There is no point setting something up unless you are going to have an impact."
Using proceeds from his testimonial game against Italian side Juventus, Sustainability in Sport fitted solar panels at Forest Green's ground.
Sustainability in Sport plans to use the proceeds from a recent charity match between Forest Green and a Manchester United XI to work with footballing bodies to build "efficient and sustainable football facilities, such as [all-weather] pitches and energy efficient changing rooms for communities".
Neville was guest speaker at an event in Manchester, organised by the UK Green Building Council (UK GBC), to mark World Green Building Week.
UK GBC chief executive Paul King said hundreds of events were being held in more than 90 countries around the globe to "celebrate green growth in this industry".
But, he added, there was concern amongst the UK construction and built-environment sector that "mixed messages" were coming out of different government departments.
"The idea that tends to come out of the Treasury is that the green agenda is a brake on growth rather than something that needs to go hand-in-hand with growth," he hold BBC News.
He said there was an appetite for green economic growth, citing EcoBuild - an annual trade conference and exhibition - that had grown from about 1,000 delegates five years ago to about 60,000 attendees this year.
"That is incredible growth through a recession that has hit the construction and built-environment sector very hard," he observed.
"What industry needs, more than ever, is as much clarity and certainty about the direction we are heading. This would mean that the industry can invest, it can innovate and it can develop solutions."
The study of more than 120,000 people suggested red meat increased the risk of death from cancer and heart problems.
Substituting red meat with fish, chicken or nuts lowered the risks, the authors said.
The British Heart Foundation said red meat could still be eaten as part of a balanced diet.
The researchers analysed data from 37,698 men between 1986 and 2008 and 83,644 women between 1980 and 2008.
They said that during the study period, adding an extra portion of unprocessed red meat to someone's daily diet would increase the risk of death by 13%, of fatal cardiovascular disease by 18% and of cancer mortality by 10%. The figures for processed meat were higher, 20% for overall mortality, 21% for death from heart problems and 16% for cancer mortality.
The study,published in Archives of Internal Medicine, said: "We found that a higher intake of red meat was associated with a significantly elevated risk of total, cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality.
"This association was observed for unprocessed and processed red meat with a relatively greater risk for processed red meat."
The researchers suggested that saturated fat from red meat may be behind the increased heart risk and the sodium used in processed meats may "increase cardiovascular disease risk through its effect on blood pressure".
Victoria Taylor, a dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, said: "Red meat can still be eaten as part of a balanced diet, but go for the leaner cuts and use healthier cooking methods such as grilling.
She suggested adding more variation to your diet with "other protein sources such as fish, poultry, beans or lentils."

The Family and Parenting Institute says intense scrutiny of parents has led to claims they are responsible for a deterioration in adolescent behaviour.
But its chief executive Dr Katherine Rake says there is no evidence of a decline in parenting standards.
If anything, parents are becoming more "professional", she says.
In an article to mark the start of Parenting Week, Dr Rake says parenting has become "one of the most charged political and cultural subjects of our age".
"The scrutiny of parenting has led to the idea of a parenting 'deficit', and the view that there are growing number of parents who are incapable," she adds.
"Yet, this focus of parenting skills is not matched by conclusive evidence about a decline in our standards of parenting."
The article is published after the government announced it was planning to try out free parenting classes in three areas of England.
Dr Rake continues: "There is a risk that the current debate on problem families unhelpfully adds another stereotype to a modern mythology of parenting.
"Alongside the 'pushy parent'; who helicopters around their child and elbows others out of the way in pursuit of their child's interests, we have the deficit model of a feckless parent, who is need of corrective state intervention."
She adds: "Much of the evidence available suggests that far from becoming a nation of apathetic, laissez-faire parents, many of us are spending more time with our children and having higher expectations of them."
She continues: "Working mothers now spend more time with their children than non-working mothers did in 1981."
She also quotes research that suggests that more parents in 2006 expected their children to be polite and do their homework than did so 20 years earlier.
Dr Rake adds: "One of the explanations for the criminal behaviour of some young looters over the course of the riots was the poor parenting they had received."
She adds that "while it would be impossible to ascertain conclusively whether the 'quality' of parenting has improved or declined over time", a recent study suggested there was no evidence for declining standards of parenting over all.
At the same time parenting has been subject to the forces of "professionalisation" and "marketisation", she says which has "in turn led to increased scrutiny of our private, domestic lives".
She adds: "While the debate on parenting has been genuinely important in improving the quality of parenting that some children receive, it also inevitable leaves others feeling judged and under pressure to deliver to a set of fixed, and inevitable elusive standards."
On problem families, Dr Rake said greater credence had been given to the idea that the government should intervene in what she described as "cases of market failure".
But there was an important distinction between so-called "problem families" who drive criminal activity and families who experience multiple problems, she said.
If the two were confused, the policies tackling the issue would fail, she suggested.
Helping such families turn things around, as was promised the wake of the summer riots, was likely to be a challenge and very costly, she warned.
Family Intervention Projects which have been seen as one of the main methods of doing this would require an investment of between £1.5bn and £2bn, she said.
Provenzano, dubbed "The Tractor" for his ruthless trait of mowing people down, was arrested and jailed in 2006 after spending 43 years on the run.
He took over command of the Sicilian Mafia in 1993 after the arrest of ex-boss Salvatore "Toto" Riina.
Provenzano was serving a life term for several murders, including the 1992 killings of top anti-Mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino.
He was suffering from bladder cancer and serious cognitive impairment and had spent the last two years in a prison hospital ward, Italian media report.
His illnesses had forced the suspension of ongoing negotiations with the state over unresolved crimes. However, even before his health declined, he had resisted any co-operation with the justice system.
Bernardo Provenzano was born on 31 January 1933 in Corleone, a Sicilian town synonymous with Mafia activity which gave its name to the fictional family in the Godfather films.
He was said to have joined the mafia in his late teens, after World War Two.
He rose in the Mafia ranks and along with his friend, Toto Riina, worked for mafioso Luciano Liggio, who reportedly once said Provenzano had "the brains of a chicken but shoots like an angel".
When in 1974 Liggio was jailed, Riina was left in charge with Provenzano his right-hand man.
Once at the helm following Riina's capture, Provenzano reportedly tried to arbitrate between rival Mafia factions competing for business. He was said to have steered away from attacks on high-profile figures that had hardened public opinion against the Mafia and provoked police to respond.
In his later years, painstakingly cautious about revealing his whereabouts, Provenzano shunned the phone for hand-delivered "pizzini" notes and moved between farmhouses every two or three nights.
But in April 2006, he was arrested at a farmhouse near Corleone, his birthplace and where his wife and children lived.
Bernardo Provenzano earned the nickname The Tractor because, as an informant put it, "he mows people down".
He reportedly committed his first murder in 1958 aged 25, when Provenzano is alleged to have been one of the gunmen who helped rising mafioso Luciano Liggio murder Corleone clan head Michele Navarra, leaving Liggio as head of the family.
In 1963 Provenzano went on the run after an arrest warrant was issued against him for the murder of one of Navarra's men.
Gangland wars and murders of top judges became bloody hallmarks of Italian life in the 1980s, when Provenzano was second-in-command to "Toto" Riina.
However, Provenzano had another side to his character.
He was a careful operator, who took few overt risks, mastered the crime empire's finances, and under whose leadership the Mafia became a less bloodthirsty, more efficient machine, commentators say.
For these reasons, he was also dubbed The Accountant.
West Ham are one point above the relegation zone after failing to win in their last five Premier League games.
Sullivan said the 48-year-old did an "amazing" job in his first season in charge, as the club finished seventh.
"Slaven cares passionately and this defeat will be hurting him as much as anyone," he told the club website.
"I have no doubts that he is doing everything he can to address the situation and everyone is working together to ensure we turn our season around."
Bilic said he was "humiliated" by Saturday's defeat at London Stadium, where West Ham have only won twice in the league since their move from Upton Park in the summer.
"Despite what some people have said, there is still a great spirit among the players and everyone is working towards the same objective," added Sullivan.
"We all need to stick together and get behind the team. We are all part of the West Ham United family and in hard times families pull together."
It is believed to be the first time a Sinn Féin leader and police chief have shared a platform in Northern Ireland.
"A vital element in moving the peace process forward was the change from the RUC to the PSNI," Mr McGuinness said ahead of the event.
"People like George have played a very valuable role in that journey."
He added: "Gone are the days when we had a police force, now we have a police service."
Mr McGuinness said politicians should support the police in the face of attempts by dissident republicans to murder officers.
"There are still people out there, who are a very tiny minority, who have little or no support within the community for violence, who are continuing to try to kill, particularly police officers," he said.
"In my own city, we had an attempt to kill a husband and wife - both police officers - just a few weeks ago, we had a further attempt to kill police officers in Lurgan and we've seen in Strabane in the course of the last couple of days yet another attempt to kill police officers.
"We as politicians have to be very concerned about that, I don't want to see anybody killed, I don't want to see any police officers killed."
However, Mr McGuinness also echoed comments by Sinn Féin colleague John O'Dowd about the relationship between MI5 agents and dissident republicans.
"If we have concerns around what is a strong belief within mainstream republicanism that there are elements within theses tiny, unrepresentative armed groups who could in any way be manipulated by people who themselves have not come to terms with the peace process and the changes that there have been then I think it's quite legitimate to raise those concerns," he said.
Emergency services were called to Whitemill Lane in Stone in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Paramedics were unable to resuscitate the man and he died at the scene. A murder inquiry is now under way.
A 29-year-old man, arrested at a house in the town, is due to be questioned by officers later. A weapon has also been recovered, police said.
During a speech to the Scottish Tory conference in Glasgow she said "we are four nations, but at heart one people".
Mrs May had earlier criticised the SNP-led government at Holyrood for having tunnel vision over a second Scottish independence referendum.
The PM insisted that "logic and facts" were on the side of the UK.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has maintained that a second referendum was "highly likely" because of Brexit.
Voters in Scotland backed remaining in the EU by 62% to 38%. The UK as a whole voted to leave by 52% to 48%.
On the issue of Brexit, Mrs May told the conference that she was "determined" to ensure that "we leave the EU as one United Kingdom and prosper outside the EU as one United Kingdom".
She began her speech with a scathing attack on Labour in Scotland.
Mrs May said: "For too long a feeble and incompetent Scottish Labour opposition did nothing to scrutinise the SNP for their failures.
"An SNP government interested only in stoking-up endless constitutional grievance and furthering their obsession with independence, at the expense of Scottish public services like the NHS and education, was given a free pass by Labour."
The address had a strong pro-Union theme.
Mrs May said the the UK "we cherish" is not a thing of the past.
She added: "The Union I am determined to strengthen and sustain is one that works for working people across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland."
One or two of Mrs May's predecessors in Downing Street have had a bash at defining Britishness or British values. Not with universal success. One thinks of cycling and evensong.
But Theresa May's attempt appeared to be more broadly grounded and thus more interesting. She spoke again of family, of shared endeavour, of common interests.
Admittedly, some of her examples were less than utterly convincing. She talked of the Harry Potter books being written in an Edinburgh cafe by a Gloucestershire author. Thus, apparently, stressing the benefits of Union.
Well, maybe. But George Frederick Handel composed many of his masterpieces in London. That did not mean that Britain and his native Germany were bound by musical or other ties.
Still, it was a thoughtful speech, giving the impression of much more than a stock oration culled from party archives.

So will there be another Scottish independence referendum? Very possibly.
With all the talk of another vote being "very likely" and "all but inevitable", Nicola Sturgeon has already marched her troops so far up the hill it's hard to see how she can march them back down again without massive loss of face and political capital.
Today we got an extensive preview of the unionist case.
Mrs May talked at length about the benefits being part of the United Kingdom has bestowed on Scotland and the rest of the UK. And warned of the economic dangers of independence.
It was a serious and substantial speech about why she believes the UK is "Better Together".

Other things the speech touched on included:
Food Standards Scotland (FSS) said Lanarkshire-based Errington Cheese has instigated the "precautionary recall" of batch E24 of the product.
The decision was taken because it "may contain shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), a type of bacteria that is potentially harmful to health," FSS said.
The cheeses affected are Dunsyre Blue with the relevant batch number and best before dates between 18 September and 18 October this year.
Dunsyre Baby cheese, with best before dates between 21 September and 11 October 2016, is also subject to the recall, FSS said.
A multi-agency incident management team (IMT) chaired by Health Protection Scotland has been investigating an outbreak of the same strain of E. coli O157 in which 20 people were infected.
Health officials have been exploring possible links to Dunsyre Blue cheese.
The death of a child who was among the confirmed cases was announced on Monday.
In a statement issued on Thursday, FSS said: "FSS believes that this precautionary recall is a responsible action by Errington Cheese Ltd that we believe to be in the best interests of consumers to protect them from potential risks to public health."
The food body said the product is mainly supplied to hotels, restaurants, specialist cheese shops and delicatessens.
"If you have purchased this product with the batch number above or if you have purchased it from a delicatessen and do not have batch information, do not eat it," the statement added.
"Instead, return it to either Errington Cheese Ltd or the store from where it was purchased."
The outbreak cases were identified in July and 11 of those infected were treated in hospital.
The company has previously carried out a voluntary recall of two batches of the blue cheese.
However, it has also maintained that there is no confirmed link between the E. coli outbreak and its products.
In a statement issued last month on its website, Errington Cheese said: "All our testing, covering a period of almost six months from March 21 to date, is completely clear of E. coli O157.
"All authority testing is negative for E.coli O157.
"All customer testing for E. coli O157 is negative. All farm testing for E. coli O157 is negative.
"At least six samples have been taken from the implicated batch D14; they all tested negative for E. coli O157."
The IMT has now stood down and a final report into the incident could take up to six months to be finalised.
The game trained participants' brains to cut out calories by telling them to avoid pressing on pictures of certain images, such as biscuits and chocolate.
They lost a small amount of weight and appeared to eat fewer calories for up to six months afterwards.
The 10-minute game was played four times in one week.
Forty-one adults took part in the study, published in the journal Appetite.
The majority were overweight, and all said they ate calorie-dense snacks, such as crisps, biscuits, cake and chocolate, at least three times a week.
The online game, developed by psychologists at the University of Exeter and Cardiff University, used "brain training" techniques to change behaviour - in this case, to resist unhealthy snack foods.
It required people to avoid pressing a key when an unhealthy food appeared on the screen.
This type of training helps people associate this unhealthy food with "stopping", the researchers said.
The results were compared with another group of 41 adults who completed the same training, but involving non-food pictures.
The results showed that participants lost an average of 1.5lb (0.7kg) and consumed around 220 fewer calories a day during the week of training.
Food diaries in the following six months suggested that the participants maintained their improved habits.
Dr Natalia Lawrence, from the University of Exeter, who led the research, said the game had the ability to change some people's eating behaviour, but it was still early days.
"This research is still in its infancy and the effects are modest. Larger, registered trials with longer-term measures need to be conducted.
"However, our findings suggest that this cognitive training approach is worth pursuing: it is free, easy to do and 88% of our participants said they would be happy to keep doing it."
She said this type of training could be used as one element of a weight loss programme or for improving eating behaviour. | A new driver who caused the death of a holidaymaker in a 100mph crash has been jailed for five years.

The claim: Prime Minister David Cameron says as a result of his negotiations in Brussels earlier this year - which has not come into effect yet but will if the UK votes to stay in the European Union - EU citizens who come to the UK but fail to find work will have to leave after six months.
Reality Check verdict: Existing EU rules allow states to deport citizens from other EU countries if they have become a burden on the welfare system of the state. UK law suggests this occurs after six months of unsuccessfully looking for work, but it is not clear how many people have been removed from the UK on this basis. The UK will have no additional powers in this area as a result of David Cameron's EU deal in February.
"There are good ways to control migration and there are bad ways," he said.
"A good way is doing what I did in my renegotiation, which of course hasn't come into effect yet and will if we vote to stay in the European Union, which is to say to people if you come to our country first of all you don't claim unemployment benefit, second of all after six months if you haven't got a job you have to leave."
Both these points are already part of UK law, following amendments to The Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 .
As things stand, EU citizens who come to the UK to find work cannot claim jobseeker's allowance during their first three months in the country.
After that they can claim for a total of 91 days, which can be split across several periods of jobseeking. They can continue claiming beyond that period if they can demonstrate that they are actively looking for a job and are likely to get it.
After a total of six months they can be removed if they still have not found a job, and have no realistic possibility of finding one, and require support from the welfare system.
These rules have been in place since early 2014, and are in line with existing EU legislation.
The EU-UK deal which David Cameron negotiated in February, and which will be implemented if the UK votes on 23 June to stay in the EU, will not change anything in this respect.
Home Office figures do not show how many people have been deported on the basis of being a burden to the UK since the rules came in, but the numbers are thought to be low.
Mr Cameron did make a third point on Sky News: "And third of all if you do come and get a job you have to work for four years paying into the system before you get full access to our welfare system."
That's the so-called emergency brake on access to the welfare system, which does not exist at the moment and will only come into force if the UK votes to stay in the EU on 23 June. It would affect all new arrivals and could be applied for a period of seven years.

Mrs Merkel's party won last Sunday's poll but it needs to form an alliance with either the SPD or the Greens to ensure a majority in parliament.
SPD chairman Sigmar Gabriel said party members backed the move at a meeting.
The CDU took about 41.5% of the vote. The SPD won 26%, the Greens 8.4%, and the former communist Left Party 8.6%.
Meanwhile, the German news agency DPA says SPD leader Peer Steinbrueck wants to withdraw from frontline politics.
Mr Steinbrueck, 66, led the Social Democrats' election campaign but he will no longer hold a leadership role in the German opposition party, a party source told DPA,
"My political life will come to an orderly end," he is reported to have said at a closed-door meeting of around 200 SPD members in Berlin.
Mr Steinbrueck used to be state premier in North Rhine-Westphalia.
A poll carried out for German ARD television earlier this week suggested that most voters wanted Mrs Merkel's Christian Democratic Union bloc to enter into a grand coalition with the Social Democrats.
Mrs Merkel has not yet indicated which parties she might reach out to in order to build a coalition building.
CDU parliamentary group leader Volker Kauder said that the party "has a clear mandate from voters to form a government". The outcome showed that "voters want Angela Merkel to remain chancellor" for a third term, he said.
On the ground, across Britain, preparations were being made to counter the invasion expected if Germany gained air superiority over the RAF.
Large concrete box-like structures - pillboxes, gun houses and anti-invasion cubes - began to appear on key roads and on beaches.
Many of these defences can still be found on the Moray Firth's shores.
With walls covered in thick green moss and surrounded by tall pines, or barnacle-encrusted and sinking into the orange sand of a beach, the old defences look like the video game Minecraft gone to seed.
The boxy concrete structures are relics of Britain's action plan in 1940 to defend the coast against amphibious landings.
On Moray Firth, the coastal defences ran all the way from Cullen Bay to Findhorn Bay.
At Lossie near Lossiemouth, heavy gun emplacements and pillboxes to protect machinegun posts were constructed. Polish soldiers were regularly tasked in the building work.
Many of Lossie's defences survive today, preserved because the area now forms part of Forest Commission Scotland-managed woodland.
But just along the coast at Roseisle, a commission-owned seaside forest near Burghead, some of the defences are losing a battle with nature.
Beyond the pines, anti-invasion cubes and the hulks of pillboxes are slumped sideways on a curving stretch of beach.
Some of the cubes have been smashed by storms and the broken pieces are gradually being ground down into particles of sand themselves.
Allied pilots eventually won the Battle of Britain and the threat of invasion lessened.
Moray's defences were never used in anger, but remain to be a reminder of how seriously that threat was taken.
Matt Ritchie, Forestry Commission Scotland's archaeologist, said: "At over 8km in length, the coastal defences in Lossie Forest comprise the longest and best-preserved length of anti-invasion cubes and pillboxes in Scotland.
"The abandoned defences remind us of a time of preparation and defiance, when Britain felt very vulnerable and alone."
He added: "But be sure to take care as you walk among the remains."

Salford winger Justin Carney and centre Junior S'au were pictured in heated exchanges with supporters as they tried to make sure their children were safe.
Club owner Marwan Koukash has promised to act against the fans involved.
"There is no place in rugby league for them," he said.
Salford head coach Ian Watson confirmed that the players had gone into the stands to get their children.
He said Carney's children - and those of team conditioner Greg Brown - were "a little bit shaken" by the incident, adding: "They're all OK, but they shouldn't be scenes you see at rugby.

"It should be a good game and family sport to come to. People that are causing problems and fighting don't deserve to be involved."
BBC Radio Manchester's Trevor Hunt, who was at the Super League game, said a flare was thrown from the Salford end and a supporter escorted out, moments before the trouble began.
Rugby Football League chief executive Nigel Wood said: "We will conduct a full investigation into the events that took place in the away section of the crowd at the game between Huddersfield and Salford.
"We do not condone violence of any kind and will ensure that anyone found to have acted improperly is dealt with accordingly."
The girl was lured into a silver hatchback at 08:51 BST on 28 September in Summertown.
She was attacked in the car by two men before escaping, seeking help from residents three hours later in Cavendish Drive, Marston.
No arrests have been made, and 30 police officers are investigating.
The first man is described as white, in his mid-20s, about 6ft (182cm) tall, with short blonde hair, of average build, and speaking with a northern accent. He is thought to have been wearing a grey hoodie and black trousers.
The second man is white, in his late teens, muscular, and was wearing black clothing.
Deputy Superintendent Chris Ward said: "A team of specially-trained officers continues to support the victim and we are working with her to gather further information surrounding the incident."
Analysis from the CIES Football Observatory says the 23-year-old England international is worth £23.5m.
Its data suggests Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande paid £18.43m too much when they spent £31m on Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez.
Bournemouth are said to have overspent on £7m Norwich striker Lewis Grabban.
According to the CIES research team, which analyses transfers in Europe's big five leagues, that was more than £6m too much.
The study also suggested Newcastle overpaid by £5.4m when they spent £12m signing England winger Andros Townsend from Tottenham.
That move went through on 27 January, the same day Chinese club Jiangsu Suning signed Brazil midfielder Ramires.
The 28-year-old moved in a deal believed to be worth about £25m, which the CIES study claims is £8.36m more than his value.
The CIES Football Observatory team of academics estimates transfer values based on 1,500 fee-paying deals involving the big five European leagues since June 2009.
It takes into account the "inflationary trend" of transfer fees and calculate a player's worth based on their statistics in six key areas - age, position, contract, international status, experience and performance.
Footballers with the highest transfer values in the study generally play in competitive teams, are active full internationals, play in attacking positions, have long-term contracts and are under 27 years of age.

With President Salva Kiir finally signing a peace deal on Wednesday, the hope is that a step has been taken towards ending the conflict - though many question whether the agreement will be implemented as seven previous ceasefire deals have collapsed.
But the conflict - which has killed tens of thousands of people and left more than two million homeless - has not dampened the resilience of young people such as Rachael Aleko Aguer.
Based in the capital, Juba, she launched a lifestyle magazine, Real Woman, in February 2015, well over a year into the conflict.
She told the BBC that she had huge hopes for her country - which became independent in 2011 after splitting from Sudan - and thinks her publication can contribute towards its development.
But times are tough, and she could not afford to print the July issue.
"Business is not as good as it used to be," Ms Aguer told the BBC.
"There are increases in prices and in my case I do the printing of the magazine outside of my country because there are few printers here and they are expensive. I have skipped one publication because there were no dollars."
The scarcity of hard currency, particularly the US dollar, is a big problem, along with the sharp fall in the value of the South Sudanese pound. The official rate is 2.96 pounds for a dollar; on the black market it hovers around 14.
As a result, life is increasingly expensive because South Sudan relies heavily on imports.
Ms Aguer said both the fare for the motorbike taxi she uses to get to work and the cost of her lunch have doubled recently.
"I don't know how it'll be like by next week."
Before the war, South Sudan earned most of its money from selling oil. It accounted for 98% of government revenues. But since then production has halved because some oil fields have been taken over by the rebel forces or damaged.
And with global oil prices having fallen, the government is not getting much for the 160,000 barrels still being produced.
To make matters worse, the government also has to pay Sudan for the oil transported through its pipelines, as part of the deal reached during independence talks.
South Sudan economist Luol Deng says: "I do not want to be scaring people but the government is getting less than it should be getting.
"Out of every barrel passing through Sudan, Sudan gets $24.1 per barrel. So if the price is 30, the government of South Sudan will be getting 5.9."
Officials hope to revise this arrangement in negotiations due to start in September.

South Sudan profile
The tough economic situation is not just affecting South Sudanese businesses. Many of the businesses and workers in Juba are from neighbouring countries - including Eritrea, Ethiopian, Kenya and Uganda.
They do not go to commercial banks to send remittances back home or to buy dollars. Many banks, in fact, complain that the central bank does not give them access to dollars.
So, business people rely on the expensive rates on the black market.
Despite the difficulties in doing business, hardly any of them want to leave. South Sudan still offers them the hope of getting rich quick, as there is far less competition than in their home countries.
Big businesses also want to stick around.
When SAB Miller opened the country's only brewery in 2009, there was great celebration.
It was a sign of the optimism about the future of an independent South Sudan. But now it's also struggling to stay open, with its MD, Carlos Gomes saying it was only a matter of weeks before the plant closed down.
Some believe the government has diverted too much of its revenue into fighting the rebels, while much of the rest has been lost to corruption.
In a BBC interview, Finance Minister David Deng Athorbei acknowledged that corruption was a problem, but said the government was doing its best to root it out.
He said the government had also asked the IMF and World Bank for financial aid, but they were told to sign a peace deal first.
Mr Athorbei defended spending on the war, saying it was vital.
"Our number one priority now is security, then you come to delivery of services like education, health."
Nevertheless, it seems to have been enough to worsen South Sudan's economic crisis, dashing the hopes of many who had hoped that independence would lead to greater prosperity.
At least two children were among the wounded, the information ministry said.
The attacker targeted police vehicles in the centre of Khost. So far no group has claimed responsibility although the Taliban and the group known as Islamic State will be the main suspects.
There has been a surge in violence in several parts of Afghanistan recently - much of it involving the Taliban.
On Friday at least 15 soldiers were killed in a Taliban attack on a military base in Kandahar province.
Saturday's bombing took place as the country marked the first day of Ramadan, a month of prayer and fasting for Muslims.
It was detonated near a military base, officials say.
A public bus station bore most of the force of the blast which targeted Afghan security forces working with American troops in Khost province, ministry spokesman Najib Danish told the AFP news agency.
"The bodies are not recognisable and it is hard to say if they are civilians or security forces," he added.
The latest violence is a challenge for Nato-backed Afghan forces and raises further concerns about their ability to see off the militant threat.
Both the military and security forces have sustained unprecedented casualties recently in addition to a high level of desertions and numerous corruption scandals.

The new 'Great Game' in Afghanistan
The Taliban began their yearly spring offensive at the end of last month and soon afterwards the US said it was considering the deployment of at least 3,000 more troops to bring a measure of stability to the country.
Last month, the Taliban killed at least 135 Afghan soldiers in a military compound near the northern city of Mazar-e Sharif.
US combat operations against the Taliban officially ended in 2014, but special forces have continued to provide support to Afghan troops.
The Taliban is believed to control up to a third of Afghanistan, after gaining ground in the past two years.
The Rhinos were beaten by North Queensland Cowboys in the World Club Challenge on Sunday, while Wigan and St Helens lost to Brisbane Broncos and Sydney Roosters respectively.
National Rugby League sides also won all three games in last year's series.
"There's absolutely a point in doing it next year," said McDermott.
"You learn through errors and from getting your backside kicked. Should we be involved in this competition next year then we'll give it an even better go and maybe we'll get our backside kicked again - but we'll get closer.
"What you don't do is get beaten and then not play another of these games for five years and then see what you're like."
Super League general manager Blake Solly echoed McDermott's thoughts.
"It has to go ahead," he said. "The only way in which Super League and the players that play in Super League can improve is by this sort of competition. It's a great learning experience.
"It's a lot more than just three games of rugby. There's a lot of activity that goes on during the week that helps boost the profile of the sport and there's obviously a hunger for it from the broadcasters."
The Rhinos, who have lost their two Super League fixtures this season, went in at 4-4 at half-time at Headingley on Sunday before the Cowboys ran in 34 unanswered points after the break.
Prop Mitch Garbutt was sent off late on for punching James Tamou and McDermott was disappointed with his player's actions.
"There was some provocation but not enough. It was silly," he added.
"It got passionate in that second half and I think our players got a bit frustrated. It wasn't justified, I'm sure Keith (Galloway) can handle being slapped."
Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's National Front (FN), is fighting to achieve a similar earthquake in France in the presidential elections in 2017.
But with her increasing appeal to the centre and the left of French politics, how many of her policies really belong to the far right?
Marine Le Pen is the youngest daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen, former leader of the FN and a convicted racist, who last year repeated an old anti-Semitic slur that the Nazi gas chambers were "a detail of history".
Having grown up in a political home, accompanying him to meetings from the age of 13, Marine Le Pen was always going to struggle to shake off the far-right label.
But she did denounce her father's comments in 2015, and effectively expelled him from the party. While her father was leader, the FN was the party that wanted to deport three million foreigners, the party of Holocaust-denial and xenophobia. But under Marine Le Pen the FN began to distance itself from such controversial issues.
Such efforts at detoxification have proved successful, with polls suggesting support for the FN climbing from 18% in 2010 to about 24% today.
Nonetheless, when voters are questioned they still place the FN and Ms Le Pen "way more to the right than other parties", says Nonna Mayer, expert in racism and the FN at Sciences Po university.
Where does she go from here in her pursuit of a detoxified party? The FN has traditionally been a male, blue-collar-dominated party, and the leader needs to target women, says Dr Mayer. So Ms Le Pen has softened her approach to women's rights, and even sees herself as a quasi-feminist.
In fact, Dr Mayer argues, in many respects Ms Le Pen is more socially liberal than much of the mainstream right - something that has caused divisions within her own party.
Ms Le Pen has called for a massive reduction in legal immigration, arguing French citizenship should be "either inherited or merited". As for illegal immigrants, they "have no reason to stay in France, these people broke the law the minute they set foot on French soil".
But if that is a far-right stance, it is not very different from that of centre-right rival Francois Fillon, who was elected as the Republican candidate on similar promises: "We've got to reduce immigration to its strict minimum," he says.
In a world where the centre is shifting to the right, and the right is shifting to the centre, the lines are getting blurred.
The two are now competing for some of the same voters. While Mr Fillon is regarded as appealing more to the "respectable" middle classes, Marine Le Pen is claiming to speak for "all people", and increasingly appealing to a wider electorate, even Muslim voters in the French suburbs.
However, in December she upped the ante by announcing that she would end free education for the children of undocumented immigrants.
"If you come to our country don't expect to be taken care of, to be looked after, that your children will be educated without charge," she said in a speech in Paris. And, more threateningly, "playtime is over".
Long before the Paris attacks, Marine Le Pen made a link between immigration and militant Islamism. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks on 13 November 2015, she proposed to "expel foreigners who preach hatred on our soil" and to strip dual-nationality Muslims with extremist views of citizenship, a view traditionally associated with the far right.
In an unprecedented move, those ideas were endorsed both by Socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls and by President Francois Hollande, before eventually being dropped.
Many of her views have been echoed by Francois Fillon too.
Mr Fillon, a devout Catholic, described radical Islam as a "totalitarianism like the Nazis". Catholics, Protestants and Jews "don't denounce the values of the Republic," he said, indicating that was not the case with Islam.
"The clear blue water between the FN and the other parties has been disappearing and disappearing," says James Shields, professor of French politics at Aston University.
The National Front is to the right of the Republicans on law and order issues, says Nonna Mayer.
It is the only party looking to restore the death penalty, an issue that divides the party's core supporters from the mainstream. Polls suggest 60% of FN voters are in favour, compared with 28% of mainstream-right and 11% of left-wing voters.
The FN has yet to publish its election manifesto, but its 2012 proposals included upping police numbers and powers and creating 40,000 new prison places.
Treatment of immigrants in France is probably the standout, far-right policy of Marine Le Pen's FN. And it is central to the party's platform.
Jobs, welfare, housing, schools, or any area of public provision should go to French nationals before they get to "foreigners".
The centre of gravity of French politics may have shifted to the right. But no other party has adopted favouritism across the social services - and it could breach the law.
"She is upholding a policy that not only is thought by constitutional experts to be unconstitutional, but has been judged by the law to be unlawful," says Prof Shields.
In 1998, a National Front mayor, Catherine Megret, tried to implement a new policy that would give a family allowance to French or EU families, but not to other foreign families.
"Did it stand up in court? No," says Prof Shields. But, he says, so-called nativism remains central in Marine's platform."
Marine Le Pen appeals to French voters fed up with mainstream politics, but there is nothing far right about that.
If she wins the presidency in May, she has promised an EU referendum in France within six months of taking office. And the UK's vote to leave the EU in June 2016 has provided the template.
Portraying herself as beyond the establishment, she has championed public services - for non-foreigners - and presented herself as a protector of workers and farmers in the face of "wild and anarchic globalisation".
"She's managing to get these approval ratings by doing a Trump," says Prof Shields.
But here the lines are blurred too: left-wing parties are playing the anti-establishment, anti-globalisation card as well.
But what sets her European views apart from the rest of the French right is the company she keeps. The FN has strong ties with the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV), Austria's Freedom Party (FPOe), Belgium's Flemish Interest (VB), Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the Italian Northern League (LN).
They are all part of the FN-led Europe of Nations and Freedom grouping in the European Parliament and are either right-wing populist or, in the case of the FPOe, far right.
Geert Wilders, of leader of the Dutch PVV, wants to ban the Koran. The Italian Northern League's leader Matteo Salvini is known for his praise of fascist leader Benito Mussolini.
These views are toxic to the political right in Europe, and many centre-right parties have said they will not form coalitions with them.
He was Labour's Defence Secretary under Harold Wilson and oversaw one of the most comprehensive reviews of the strength of the armed services since the Second World War.
And he was James Callaghan's uncompromising Secretary of State for Northern Ireland where he took on the IRA at the height of its powers.
All this was a long way from Roy Mason's upbringing in the pit village of Carlton just outside Barnsley where he left school with no qualifications and went down his local pit as an apprentice at the age of 14.
In an interview with the BBC in 2007 to mark him being awarded the Freedom of Barnsley: "I wasn't thinking about politics then- just getting on with life like everybody else and that meant going down the pit".
The young Mason was clearly a bright lad. He became an underground fitter, passed his qualifications for the highly responsible and skilled job of an underground foreman - a "pit deputy"- and became an activist in the National Union of Mineworkers.
"It was at that time that I had the ambition of becoming an MP," he said in that 2007 interview. "For me I thought I could make a difference."
By the time he won a by-election in 1953 to take his home-town seat he had taken a university degree through his trade union and married his wife Marjorie.
Many years later he told me how his win at the polls happened so quickly that he had to borrow £50 from his father-in-law to keep him and Marjorie going for the first month in London.
He told me he got off the train holding a suitcase in one hand, his wife in the other and with no more than a fiver in his pocket.
He was then summoned to meet his first party leader, Clement Attlee.
"I was not a particularly young man. I was 28, but this was really a daunting prospect. He gave me two bits of advice - specialise and keep away from the bars. I have followed that advice ever since."
His talents had been spotted by Harold Wilson who made him a minister of trade in his first cabinet and then later a member of his cabinet as postmaster general.
He really came to the fore as defence secretary. His review of the size, funding and organisation of the armed forces provoked an outrage from the military but was seen by many commentators as part of a long overdue modernisation process.
It was his time as Northern Ireland Secretary from 1976 that put him at the heart of the storm. He is credited as being the first minister to take on the IRA and was totally uncompromising in his approach.
Martin McGuinness, a senior IRA member at the time and later elected to become the joint Northern Ireland First Minister after the peace process has described Roy Mason as probably the province's most reactionary 20th Century British politician.
His time in Belfast meant that Roy Mason had a permanent armed police bodyguard wherever they went even decades after he left office.
He never moved from the semi-detached house in Barnsley where he and Marjory brought up their two daughters. He was elevated to the Peerage as Lord Mason of Barnsley.
Yet he said in 2007 that probably the proudest moment of his long and distinguished career was to receive the freedom of his home town.
The woman, who worked at Buckinghamshire's Stoke Mandeville Hospital, was targeted by Savile while she was based at the children's ward.
Savile abused her over an 18-month period - when she was aged 17 to 19 - assaulting her when she was preparing milk feeds for children and even after she had been admitted to the staff sick bay with tonsillitis.
Speaking to the BBC, she said she wished Savile was still alive so she could tell him how he had affected her life and "ruined my 20s".
The woman said Savile was "one of the team" on the children's ward and had his own porter's office and flat at the hospital. She said she had initially been "in awe" of him.
"He was God as far as the children were concerned.
"He had high status and they gave him a job as a porter. He was just one of the staff, he was one of the team."
However, she said Savile's interest in her soon turned more sinister.
"It was casual, friendly, patting on the bottom, to start off with. But I think he was always trying to push the boundaries with me," she said.
"So it moved from patting my bottom to trying to put his hands on my breasts and putting his hand under my skirt."
Savile began targeting her during her daily job of preparing the milk feeds for children on the ward.
She said he would follow her into the milk kitchen - where she could be for up to two hours a day - and would lock the door behind them.
"I used to try and make excuses not to do the milk feeds," she said.
"It was invading my privacy and I didn't know what he was doing. It did frighten me. I was scared and violated."
On another occasion the woman was diagnosed with tonsillitis while at work and was taken to the staff sick bay.
"Jimmy Savile used to come every day and see me and again he used to put his hand under the sheet and touch my thigh and try and put his hand inside my thighs," she said.
"My mum came to see me and he came and put his head around the door. I said, 'don't let him in, don't let him in'.
"That was the time I told her what he had been doing and she was horrified. She wanted to say something but I didn't let her. I was a bit ashamed."
She said Savile's fame stopped her from reporting the abuse.
"I was too embarrassed because he was Jimmy Savile. You don't want to get him into trouble. He was Jimmy Savile and I couldn't say a bad word against him.
"I was scared what the repercussions would be if I did scream, so I just let it go," she added.
The woman continued to keep the abuse secret for more than 10 years, until she told her husband when she was aged 30. She said it was only recently that she realised how the abuse had affected her.
"I went from being a quiet person and an innocent person at that age, and I went the opposite.
"I became quite promiscuous in my 20s. I tended to gravitate towards older men for some reason or other, I don't know why."
She said she remembered her heart beating "really fast" when, years later, she heard allegations about Savile surface in the media for the first time.
"The first time that I actually recounted my story I cried and it shocked me that I cried because it has been a long time. It was my secret. Apart from my husband it was something that I kept for a long time."
Despite her own experience with Savile, she said it was still a shock when the full nature of the allegations against him became clear.
"He was always so good with the children and the children loved him to bits.
"I was probably too naive to notice, and I certainly wasn't an experienced nurse to notice the non-verbal body language or behaviour of a child then. I was just a kid myself really," she said.
She said she was sure people at the hospital covered up Savile's abuse.
"I can't believe people didn't know about it. I would imagine that people covered it up for him, or people knew that he was doing it and just chose not to say anything.
"He was always with people, always with the kids, but because he was Jimmy Savile nobody really suspected."
The woman told the BBC she wished Savile was still alive so she could confront him about the abuse.
"I would like to meet him now and I would like to tell him how he affected my life. I can't speak for other people, but I would like to tell him how he ruined my 20s."
Holyrood's education committee recently published a highly-critical report about the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and Education Scotland.
The report argued urgent work is needed to rebuild the relationship between teachers and the SQA.
But John Swinney noted the evidence was taken from a self-selecting sample of people who said they were teachers.
The education committee said in January it had heard "eye-opening" accounts of unclear guidance and mistakes in exam papers.
A survey of teachers carried out by the committee suggested two-thirds had little trust in the SQA.
The level of criticism made by the committee took many within Scottish education by surprise.
Now, Mr Swinney has noted the evidence was taken from a self-selecting sample of people who said they were teachers who were not necessarily representative.
In a letter to the committee, Mr Swinney said: "Whilst I welcome views from anyone involved in Scotland's education system and will always pay close attention to constructive criticism, I believe the points advanced by the committee on the performance of the SQA and Education Scotland in particular are not based on an assessment of a sufficiently broad evidence base.
"The committee places emphasis on an online survey that had 693 responders who self-identify as teachers. This represents slightly more than 1% of Scotland 's publicly-employed teaching workforce of 50,970."
He added: "My concerns about the methodology are exacerbated by the comparative lack of consideration that appears to have been given to the evidence submitted by the public bodies themselves, most notably the engagement activity that both SQA and Education Scotland conduct with their stakeholders to evaluate their respective impacts.
"I believe this has resulted in an unbalanced report."
At the time the report was published, SNP MSP James Dornan, the committee's convenor, said: "The evidence our committee received was nothing less than eye-opening about some of the problems faced by those working so hard on the front line of education.
"We heard first-hand about the time-consuming burden of guidance that has been placed on teachers, something the cabinet secretary has already shown his commitment to deal with
"However, there continues to be confusing and contradictory messages coming from the very bodies that should be making it easy for our teachers to focus on the needs of our children."
The SQA said it was committed to addressing the committee's findings, especially in this period of change, and were working to continue to improve its communication with the wider community.
The decision, announced by F1 commercial boss Sean Bratches, comes after the country's government questioned the value of the race.
The American said that the F1 calendar would have 21 races in 2018, despite the loss of the south-east Asian event.
The French Grand Prix returns after a 10-year absence and Germany is back on after dropping off in 2017.
Malaysia was in the vanguard of the new races that came to define Bernie Ecclestone's final years in charge of the sport.
A state-of-the-art facility was built and the race funded with government money as the country sought to make a name for itself on the global stage.
Similar events followed the same pattern in Bahrain, China, Abu Dhabi, Russia and Azerbaijan.
Malaysia had struggled in recent years to attract a significant crowd, its appeal damaged by the more glamorous night-time event on a street track in Singapore, which made its debut in 2008.
It was confirmed in November that the race would end after the 2018 staging, but that decision has now been brought forward.
The country's prime minister, Najib Razak, said: "The Cabinet has agreed to end the contract after considering lowering returns to the country compared to the cost of hosting the championships."
The winner gets £15,000 - more than the winner of the men's race and £14,000 more than 2015 champion Louise Mahe.
The 135km ride from Otley to Doncaster takes place on Saturday, 30 April, with the second stage of the men's three-day race starting later on the same course.
It is Otley-born Armitstead's first race as world champion in the UK.
"We're trying to seismically change the sport," said Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of organisers Welcome To Yorkshire.
"If you won all three stages of the men's race and you took the general classification money as well, you would still be 40% worse off than the winner of the women's race. So that's a big difference."
Armitstead, who will be riding for GB because her usual team, Boels Dolmans, is not competing, said "It's an absolute dream to be starting in my hometown."
The 27-year-old is also the reigning British and Commonwealth champion and has won her last five races, including that superb victory at the World Road Championships in the US last September.
Armitstead skipped last year's inaugural Tour de Yorkshire as it clashed with a higher-ranked event in Luxembourg but tourism agency Welcome to Yorkshire have worked hard to boost its profile.
It is now classified in the category just below the 17 races on the new International Cycling Union (UCI) Women's WorldTour.
With Leeds-based supermarket Asda as a sponsor, the £50,000 prize fund is comparable to the biggest one-day races on the men's circuit.
French sprinter Arnaud Demare's prize for winning Milan-San Remo, the first big classic of the men's season, was £15,600, which is the same as will be available at the next major one-day race, the Tour of Flanders.
The winner of the Women's Tour of Flanders, however, will get £957.
The Yorkshire prize pot is also almost double what is on offer at the premier race for female professionals in this country, the five-day Women's Tour in June.
Cycling has a far worse record for gender inequality than tennis - the game currently dominating the headlines for sexism in sport - and leading female riders have been calling for better events and more exposure for years.
When asked whether she thought cycling was sexist, Armitstead said: "Well, yeah, traditionally, yes. But it is improving.
"Our sport is the younger side of the sport than the men's and there is a long way to go, but it is getting there.
"There are different aspects that need improving. Media coverage, for a start, needs to improve. People need to be able to watch me win races rather than just read about them on Twitter.
"It's getting there but, as I say, it needs a lot of things to happen."
Coverage of both races at the Tour de Yorkshire will be shown live on ITV4 and Eurosport.
The Tour de Yorkshire is part of the legacy of the region's successful hosting of the Grand Depart of the 2014 Tour de France.
Norway's Lars Petter Nordhaug won the men's version in 2015, with Britain's Mahe the female champion.
Chloe Allen, from Cumbria, joined the Scots Guards as a man in 2012 but began hormone therapy in the last month, and has officially changed her name.
The Army said it was delighted to have its first woman in a close-combat role.
Then Prime Minister David Cameron followed a recommendation in July from the head of the Army that women should be able to serve.
The application process for female recruits was due to open later this year.
But Guardsman Allen, who had official documents changed by deed poll from her birth name of Ben to reflect her new name and status, has now been informed she will be able to stay in the infantry, as a woman.
She told the Sun newspaper it was a relief to talk openly about her feelings.
Guardsman Allen had initially thought she would have to leave her post in the First Battalion Scots Guards.
But she decided to talk to a careers officer and was informed she could continue in her role as a rifleman and driver of a Mastiff armoured truck.
"All the paperwork within the Army, within the battalion, has been changed and sorted out. My passport will be done shortly," she said.
"It's brilliant, it's amazing... to say everything that I've wanted it to say and for me to still be serving as an infantryman is even better."
The Army has had an employment policy for transgender servicemen and women since 1999.
Last year Captain Hannah Winterbourne, who has risen to be the most senior transgender officer in the service, spoke about her transition and how she was acting as a mentor for other transgender soldiers.
General Sir James Everard, Commander of the Field Army, said: "I'm delighted to have our first woman serving in a ground close combat unit.
"The British Army is really proving itself as an inclusive organisation where everyone is welcome and can thrive.
"Recent awards from Stonewall and the opening up of all elements of military service to women are clear evidence of this.
"Being the first of anything takes courage."
The California-based tech firm, which allows users to send images and messages that vanish within seconds, is set to be one of the major US share listings of recent years.
The flotation is expected to value the business at between $20bn and $25bn, although Snap has never made a profit.
It will turn the company's founders into multi-billionaires.
Snap wants to raise $3bn through the share sale, a small percentage but one that will set the market price for the rest of the company.
Snap's formal announcement to regulators of its plans revealed that the company made sales of $404m last year, but a loss of $515m.
The documents also disclose that the shares being sold will, unusually, not carry voting rights, enabling Snap's founders to retain control.
Snapchat: Is it really worth $25bn?
The company began in 2011 when co-founder and chief executive, 26-year-old Evan Spiegel, was still at university.
Mr Spiegel and fellow founder Bobby Murphy, 28, have stakes in Snap that would be worth about $5bn.
Snap now has nearly 160 million daily users and last year revenues grew by nearly 600%, the listing documents revealed.
Heavy costs, including from marketing and research, dragged Snap into even deeper losses than the $373m it lost in 2015.
Snap said in the filing that it expected "to incur operating losses in the future, and may never achieve or maintain profitability".
Despite the losses - and that warning - some investors see Snapchat as the next potential Facebook, said CCS Insights analyst Martin Garner.
"If it can repeat the Facebook story to some extent, it's going to be hugely profitable," he said.
Most of Snapchat's revenue comes from advertising, and it is seen as an appealing way for companies to reach young people, with over half of its users aged between 13 and 24.
Analysts predicted its US stock market listing would be the biggest since the launch of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba in 2014, and before that Facebook's $81bn valuation in 2012.
It would also mean a big payout for Mr Spiegel, who is set to remain a major shareholder.
Just over three years ago, he turned down an offer from Facebook's co-founder Mark Zuckerberg to buy Snapchat for $3bn.
The company is now seeking to raise $3bn from the share sale, according to reports, valuing the company at much more.
Snap names Facebook as one of several companies it is competing with for users' attention, along with Twitter and Google-owned YouTube.
However, it is also seen as a fast-growing rival to those major Silicon Valley players.
Under pressure from Snapchat, Facebook has launched new filters and a slideshow feature on its photo-sharing app Instagram.
"A lot of people think Facebook is losing younger users to Snapchat. There's a lot of evidence Facebook is copying Snapchat's features," Mr Garner said.
But with Facebook drawing in 1.2 billion daily users, Snapchat needs to prove it can have general appeal, he added.
Keen to show it can make revenue from sources other than advertising, Snapchat rebranded itself as Snap last year, and debuted its video-camera sunglasses called Spectacles.
The kit can connect to smartphones and send video and photos to the app.
Last month, the firm said it had established its non-US office in London.
Snap said it would pay taxes on UK and some international sales through the hub.
Police said the arrest was in relation to the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism.
He was arrested under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act by the The Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism command.
The man is being held in custody in a central London police station, while officers search a residential and business address in Berkshire.
The man was detained outside the business address at 09:00 GMT.
Supt Bhupinder Rai, local police area commander for Windsor and Maidenhead, said: "I understand that the local community may be concerned following today's operation.
"I would like to reassure everyone that today's activity is as a result of an ongoing investigation which was intelligence led and there is no evidence to suggest the community was at risk."
Bashar al-Ageidi was ambushed outside his house and later died of his wounds.
No group has so far said it carried out the attack.
The Iraqiya bloc of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi narrowly won elections in March, beating incumbent PM Nouri Maliki's State of Law alliance.
Mr Ageidi, who was in his mid-30s, was in front of his house in western Mosul when a car carrying the gunmen stopped nearby.
Police say two of the men got out and shot the deputy in the chest.
But in confusion one of the attackers was unable to get back into the vehicle and was later captured.
The BBC's Jim Muir in Baghdad says the most obvious suspects in an assassination like this are Sunni militants, bent on disrupting the political process and deterring people from taking part.
Mosul, about 350km (215 miles) north of Baghdad, remains a hotbed of insurgent activities, despite efforts to pacify it.
Earlier this week, Iraq's electoral commission upheld parliamentary election results in Baghdad and the surrounding area after a partial recount.
Many Iraqis hope the move will draw a line under a series of challenges to the vote itself, and the beginning of negotiations in earnest between the various political parties.
No single party won enough seats to form a government on its own.
A broad coalition of some kind - including Shias, Sunnis and Kurds - seems the most likely outcome, correspondents say.
Reigning champion Rea was unscathed in the crash on lap six with his main title challenger and Kawasaki team-mate Tom Sykes finishing second.
American Nicky Hayden completed the podium in Saturday's opening race, dominated by Ducati rider Davies.
Davies led from start to finish to win by more than 10 seconds.
The championship resumed at the Lausitzring circuit following a two-month break.
Rea failed to finish for the second successive race, seeing his series lead shrink by 45 points as Yorkshireman Sykes picked up a win and second place.
Davies, who enjoyed a sixth win this season, consolidated third place in the standings but he trails Rea by 83 points and is unlikely to be a title threat.
Following the second race on Sunday, the riders have three rounds remaining in France, Spain and Qatar.
It was only the second time in the award's history that a children's book had won - and it was over a decade since Philip Pullman scooped the prize for The Amber Spyglass.
But change could be afoot as, only last month, The Fox and the Star - an illustrated fable about a fox and his friend - beat the competition to be named Waterstones Book of the Year.
Hardinge, delivering the winner's speech she had not thought she needed to prepare, urged more people to explore the "beautiful jungle" of children's and young adult (YA) fiction, whatever their age.
Has the genre finally stepped out of the shadows to stand side-by-side with adult fiction?
We asked authors and industry experts for their views:
I think there has been a general sea change - and we're definitely seeing it now, a move away from considering children's literature to be a little bit more lightweight.
I'd have been happy to see the Costa Book of the Year go to any children's book - but I'm very happy it's mine.
The cross-over market is now much more established than it was. Many adults feel less self-conscious to be seen reading, enjoying and appreciating it.
There has been interesting and complex children's and young adult fiction for quite some time, but in terms of the consumer landscape and people's attitudes, I think Harry Potter had a lot to do with it.
There has been a tendency to make assumptions about the books, to deem them as simplistic. But now, people are seeing their complexity.
The idea of the 'beautiful jungle' sprung to mind because it's a place of excitement, danger, beauty - and the unexpected.
We have published seven books by her and to now get properly recognised in this way, because Costa is one of the largest awards, feels amazing.
I think Frances does share some things with Philip Pullman, in that what she writes appeals to children and appeals to adults.
They are adult books, but the main character happens to be a child of 14. You get adults and children picking up the books.
I hope that Frances will reach a much broader audience.
Children's books do tend to get less mainstream coverage than adult books, so when something like this happens, it's incredibly important.
We really need to help parents, teachers and children themselves to have access to quality literature and find out about it. So anything that engages them, inspires them and gets them to read is really important.
The wider world is realising what people within children's publishing have known for a while - which is that the quality and output is getting better, year on year.
I don't think we're necessarily going to see children's and young adult books winning more adult book prizes, but in terms of people recognising the quality of children's literature, that will happen more often and people will pay more attention to children and young adult book prizes - there are so many of them.
As CS Lewis said, 'A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest' - and I think that's definitely the case.
For far too long, people have had this idea in their heads that children's and teenagers' literature was somehow inferior.
But the children's market has grown more quickly than the adult book market and hasn't been affected by the digital drive.
Hopefully, we will see more and more people recognising the quality of a really great children's book.
YA fiction has been dismissed as 'issue lit', but The Lie Tree shows it can be incredibly varied and very diverse.
It can be very difficult for children's books to go up against adult books, but The Lie Tree has a wider appeal beyond younger readers.
In the UK in particular, we have such a rich heritage of children's books, going all the way back to Alice in Wonderland - there is such a rich seam, and some of the very best books are actually for children.
Now, in terms of writing and production, children's publishers have really stepped up to the plate.
The Fox and the Star was about the quality and the beautiful design, while the Lie Tree is really about the storytelling and richness.
But I honestly don't know if I think it's going to be less rare for them to win such awards.
I have definitely noticed within the industry there's a lot more respect for children's publishing and children's book selling as a crucial part of the market.
Children's books are selling so well, that people have been paying more attention."
I feel that a story is a story, regardless of age, and this is something that has been recognised this year by the Costa awards, which is fantastic.
I don't think it's the case it makes the genre more credible, it's just that other parts of the book publishing industry are realising that there is an inventiveness, enjoyment and profundity in these books which appeals to readers.
The books have to stand up to being read many times, and have layers of meaning, and it's something that the industry now realises.
There was such a big gap between the last children's book winning Costa book of the year and now, so we can only hope there will now be more. And to have two awards for children in a short space of time is great."
I think Frances' prize is such a brilliant thing for young adult fiction.
For me, YA has been the biggest success story of the publishing industry over the past 25 years.
Publishers were aware because of the sales figures, and young readers were aware, but it never got the critical attention it merited.
This [Costa award] has forced people to sit up and take notice of how great this fiction is.
There's been a traditional view in certain quarters that writing for children or teenagers is easier than writing for adults. Having done both, I can say it isn't.
There can also be a view it isn't 'proper' literature, but anyone who reads it would be surprised at just how good the books are - they aren't inferior in literary terms. But it takes a long time for these attitudes to disappear. I hope if enough of these books come to the public's attention, it will gradually erode this misconceived ideas.
It could be another 15 years before another children's book wins the Costa award - but it's a step in the right direction and will lead to more awareness.

But an actual bricks and mortar Amazon store? That's still as rare as an A-list celebrity sighting.
The company opened its seventh US bookshop in New York on Thursday, drawing a steady stream of selfie-snapping gawkers, tourists and loyal shoppers who revelled in the novelty experience of shopping in person.
"It makes it feel more accessible," said Amanda Martinez, 25, of New York, who arrived before the store opened and walked out later with a JJ Abrams novel. "It's already accessible because it's online but it's nice to go inside and walk around."
Amazon opened its first bookshop in Seattle in 2015. By the end of the year, it plans to have 13 in the US. It's also expanded its physical footprint on university campuses and is experimenting with grocery and convenience shops.
Bricks and mortar retail remains a marginal part of Amazon's business - and that's not likely to change anytime soon, said analyst Tuna Amobi, who follows the company for CFRA Research.
But Mr Amobi says even on a small scale, a real store has benefits, including boosting brand awareness and exposing people to Amazon's Prime subscription service. Prime members get the online prices in the store, while non-members must pay the list price for books.
"There's an opportunity to get their platform closer to the consumer and interact, engage, at a very minimal investment," he said.
For Amazon's smaller rivals, which have stepped up face-to-face events such as author readings to survive, the company's physical expansion also adds to the pressure, he explained.
"It's been an ongoing process [of disruption] frankly over the last decade," he said. "This is just going to ... accelerate that."
Leigh Altshuler, spokeswoman for the Strand Book Store - a New York institution founded in 1927 - said the Strand knows it cannot rest on its laurels.
But she thinks the typical Amazon customer is looking for something different to those drawn to independent shops like hers: "We're not going anywhere. We're ... not just a bookstore, but a culture and a community."
Jennifer Cast, the vice-president of Amazon Books, said the company's "customer-obsessed" focus is driving the real-world expansion.
People have been asking for a place to check out books and test-drive Amazon's tech products, such as the Kindle e-reader, she says.
Amazon also has a mountain of data on what people are reading to put to use in stocking the store.
At the New York shop, which is tucked away on the third floor of one of Manhattan's most upmarket shopping malls, the company organises books into new kinds of categories, such as page turners - books that Kindle-readers finish in three days or less.
She says the goal of the shop, where customers can pay by credit card or on the Amazon App, is to be "a discovery mecca for customers".
"People have asked us, 'Is this just a big showroom?'" Ms Cast said. "I just say: 'Look how many books are on the shelves. Does this look like a showroom?' No - this is a store."
Ms Cast wouldn't say whether the shops are profitable or how many more stores Amazon might be contemplating.
Xiupeng Zhang, 28, of New York is an Amazon Prime member who stopped by to buy a Sheryl Sandberg book.
For him, the ability to pick up his purchases straight away without having to wait for them to be delivered, combined with low, online-world prices has long-term appeal: "It's like the future of retail."
Treasury Minister David Gauke said HM Revenue and Customs had recouped £135m from tax dodgers after an investigation into the claims, dating back to 2005.
Labour wants to know why there has been just one UK prosecution as a result.
And MPs have said they will compel senior HSBC executives to appear before them to answer questions.
Former HSBC boss Stephen Green, who was made a trade minister in 2010, has come under pressure to say what he knew about the claims that Britain's biggest bank helped wealthy clients cheat the UK out of millions of pounds in tax.
The Commons Public Accounts Committee is to hold an inquiry into the allegations, saying that it will "order HSBC to give evidence if necessary".
The BBC's Panorama and other media organisations have seen thousands of accounts from HSBC's private bank in Switzerland leaked by a whistleblower in 2007.
The documents include details of almost 7,000 British clients - and many of the accounts were not declared to the taxman.
HMRC was given the leaked data in 2010 and has identified 1,100 people who had not paid their taxes. One tax evader has been prosecuted.
HSBC admitted that some individuals took advantage of bank secrecy to hold undeclared accounts, but it said it has now "fundamentally changed".
The opposition tabled an urgent question in the House of Commons which forced Mr Gauke to make a statement to MPs on HSBC.
Mr Gauke told MPs that HMRC had consistently used civil penalties as the most "cost-effective way" of collecting revenue and "changing behaviour" but he expected the number of prosecutions to increase significantly.
Addressing the House of Commons, Mr Gauke told MPs that HMRC had looked at 6,800 cases relating to HSBC, and found a number of duplications.
The cases left numbered 3,600, he said, of which 1,000 were investigated, while the remainder had "no case to answer".
He said that, as a result, HMRC recouped £135m "that would not previously have been raised".
"This is further evidence of progress made by this government in tackling tax evasion and indeed tax avoidance," he told MPs.
Mr Gauke said HMRC had received the data under "very strict conditions" which limited the department's use of it.
"Under these restrictions, HMRC has not been able to seek prosecution for other potential offences, such as money laundering," he added, but said French authorities had agreed to aid investigations.
In addition, new "international common reporting standards" would also play a role in tackling any further allegations of aiding tax avoidance, Mr Gauke added.
He confirmed there had been one prosecution as a result of the HSBC data, but said prosecutions were set to increase "five fold" over the lifetime of the Parliament.
But Labour's Shabana Mahmood accused the government of having "apparently failed to act" when it was made aware of the claims back in 2010.
She pressed Mr Gauke to say who saw the information, and what was done with it, as well as what communications there had been - if any - within government.
Ms Mahmood also demanded to know what information the government had sought from Lord Green about the claims of tax avoidance before he was made a minister.
Lord Green was made a Conservative peer and appointed to the government eight months after HMRC was given the leaked documents.
"Any failure to question Stephen Green before his appointment would be an inexplicable and inexcusable abdication of responsibility," she told the government.
Responding, Mr Gauke said: "There is no evidence to suggest he was involved in or complicit with tax evasion activities."
He told MPs that Lord Green - who was in his post until 2013 - had been "a very successful minister".
Launching an attack on the previous government's record on tackling tax evasion, he noted that much of the data related to the period between 2005 and 2007, when Labour was in power.
"If we are talking about complicity ... what about the city minister (now shadow chancellor) Ed Balls?
"The reality is it is this government that has consistently cleared up the mess that we inherited," he said.
Earlier, Labour leader Ed Miliband said the government had "serious questions to answer" over the HSBC tax claims.
"We cannot have a country where tax avoidance is allowed to carry on and where government just turns a blind eye," he said.
Prime Minister David Cameron said no government had done more to tackle tax evasion and "regressive" tax avoidance than his, pointing out that tax transparency was at the top of his G8 agenda.
For the Lib Dems, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the HSBC scandal demonstrated that tax avoidance was a "sophisticated global business", adding that tax evaders needed to feel "the full force of the law".
Labour MP Margaret Hodge, chair of the Public Accounts Committee, also weighed into the row, criticising HMRC for inaction against tax avoiders.
"You are left wondering, as you see the enormity of what has been going on, what it actually takes to bring a tax cheat to court," she told the BBC.

Speaking in Japan, he proposed that nuclear safety authorities from the G20 countries discuss the issue in May.
Radiation detected in the sea near the stricken plant has again risen steeply.
Meanwhile, the UN has advised Japan to consider expanding the evacuation zone around the reactors.
Mr Sarkozy is the first foreign leader to visit Japan following the earthquake and tsunami that hit the country on 11 March.
The disaster has so far claimed more than 11,000 lives, with at least 16,000 people still reported missing.
The French president said he wanted to see international standards on nuclear energy established by the end of the year, and that France would ask G20 nuclear delegates to lay the groundwork for a special meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in June.
"The problem is more about establishing safety norms than it is about the choice of nuclear energy, for this there is no alternative right now," Mr Sarkozy was quoted as saying by Reuters.
"We must address this anomaly that there are no international safety norms for nuclear matters. We want international standards because the world is a village and what happens in Japan can have consequences elsewhere."
Q&A: Health effects of radiation
Q&A: Fukushima radiation alert
The IAEA has nuclear standards, but they are not binding.
France is more dependent on nuclear power than any other country, using it to meet about 75% of its domestic needs.
French nuclear reactor maker Areva has been offering the Japanese help with containing contaminated water.
UN nuclear monitors advised Japan to consider widening the 20km (12-mile) evacuation zone around the Fukushima Daiichi plant after the IAEA found safe radiation limits had been exceeded at the village of Iitate, 40km north-west of the nuclear plant.
But Yoshihiro Sugiyama, a nuclear safety agency official, said there were no plans to increase the size of the zone.
"At the moment, we do not have the understanding that it is necessary to evacuate residents there," he said. "We think the residents can stay calm."
The village mayor was quoted as saying he was "very worried" about the IAEA warning. "But the government immediately informed us that there is no immediate harm to human health, so I was relieved," he added.
A government spokesman said authorities would "continue monitoring the level of radiation with heightened vigilance" and "take action if necessary."
Radioactive iodine levels in seawater near the plant reached a new record - 4,385 times the limit.
Radioactive material may be leaking from the damaged plant continuously, the country's nuclear and industrial safety agency (Nisa) said.
Workers are continuing to try to stabilise four reactors by using water to cool fuel rods. They also face the problem of how to deal with highly radioactive run-off water that has accumulated in a tunnel.
Kyodo reported that the radiation level in a tunnel outside Reactor 2 was more than 10,000 times above normal levels.
The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), announced on Wednesday that the four stricken reactors would be decommissioned.
The US and UK earlier advised their citizens in Japan to keep at least 80km from the plant.
The US is to send a 140-member radiation control team to assist Japanese authorities, Kyodo News agency quoted Japan's military chief, General Ryoichi Oriki, as saying.
There are 15 Kenyans currently banned for doping by the IAAF, including Boston Marathon winner Rita Jeptoo
Kipchoge Keino says authorities are ignoring the subject despite pressure from the World Anti-Doping Agency.
"I have tried to reach government officials to agree on how to act but I don't get appointments," he said.
"I make calls that are unanswered. We even tried to convince senior government officials to attend these meetings, but they instead delegate to junior officers."
Keino, a two-time Olympic champion himself, was speaking after a Wada commission report accused Russia of widespread doping.
The report called for Russia to be banned from competitive athletics for running a "state-supported" doping programme.
But UK Athletics chairman Ed Warner has said other nations need to focus on cleaning up the sport.
"In athletics there are a handful of countries who do not have robust anti-doping regimes, who are asleep on the job - whether by accident or criminality - and they have to be rooted out," he said.
In a statement released on Saturday, Athletics Kenya outlined initiatives by the government to prevent doping and reiterated their commitment to the fight against cheating in sport.
Keino went on to suggest the government should introduce new laws to criminalise those involved in doping.
"That way, we shall convince the world of our commitment to fighting this crime. Anything else is just sugar coating," he added.
A Jane Ross double and a Kim Little penalty saw off Slovenia at the Paisley 2021 Stadium on Friday and made it five group wins out of five for Scotland.
They face the top seeds in June, and Signeul believes Iceland's attacking style will suit the Scots.
"They will come at us, we'll need to be very sharp defensively, but there will be more space to attack," she said.
"We maybe need to play a little faster."
The win put Scotland six points clear at the top of the group, though Iceland have two games in hand. The eight group winners and six best runners-up qualify for the finals next summer in the Netherlands.
Slovenia made life difficult at times for Scotland and had plenty of chances of their own before and after Kristina Erman's surprise first-half equaliser.
However, Signeul bristled at suggestions her side looked sluggish.
"I don't think it has anything to do with the amount of games we have played," she said. "I'm very happy with the players' form and shape they are in right now.
"Even if you look at the Sweden game [the recent friendly defeat] and where they were then to where they are this week, you can see they have started to get very sharp.
"We knew it was going to be a tough game. There are a very physical side. They are good football players. They're well organised, they were hard to break down but I think we were patient.
"We created some chances and we could have scored more. We are not happy with conceding the free-kick [that led to Slovenia's goal] but I think getting the goal before half-time meant a lot."
With Scotland leading 2-1 at half-time, a pivotal moment came when Little won and scored a penalty five minutes into the second half.
It left the visitors incensed, but Signeul agreed with the referee's decision.
"He [Slovenia head coach Damir Rob] was very upset with the penalty and came to me afterwards as well, but I definitely think it was a penalty," Signeul explained. "She kicked her, stopped her from taking the ball - that's how I saw it."
Signeul also lauded the strength in depth of her squad, with a number of regular starters having to make do with a place on the bench against Slovenia.
"Joelle [Murray] did really well against Spain, so it wasn't easy to put Leanne Ross and Caroline [Weir] and Joelle on the bench, that was a difficult decision.
"But as I coach I am delighted we have that problem instead of having no competition. We had some really good performances individually as well as a team."
Natalie McGarry is understood to have become unwell during prime minister's questions, and an ambulance was called.
She later tweeted that she was expecting a baby, and that medical staff had been called as a precaution after she fainted.
Ms McGarry was elected as the SNP MP for Glasgow East in 2015 but now sits as an independent.
She was charged by the police last year over allegations of fraud relating to potential missing funds from two pro-independence groups.
Ms McGarry was well enough to return to parliament to vote against the snap general election planned for June.
The venture is said to be the biggest yet in support of the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence.
The 10-year effort will listen for broadcast signals from a million of the stars closest to Earth.
The £64m ($100m) initiative was launched by the Breakthrough Initiatives group at the Royal Society in London.
Speaking at the launch, Prof Hawking said: "Somewhere in the cosmos, perhaps, intelligent life may be watching these lights of ours, aware of what they mean.
"Or do our lights wander a lifeless cosmos - unseen beacons, announcing that here, on one rock, the Universe discovered its existence. Either way, there is no bigger question. It's time to commit to finding the answer - to search for life beyond Earth.
"We are alive. We are intelligent. We must know."
Those behind the initiative claim it to be the biggest scientific search ever undertaken for signs of intelligent life beyond Earth. They plan to cover 10 times more of the sky than previous programmes and scan five times more of the radio spectrum, 100 times faster.
It will involve access to two of the world's most powerful telescopes. - the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and the Parkes Telescope in New South Wales, Australia.
Among those involved in the search is Lord Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal.
"The search for extra-terrestrial life is the most exciting quest in 21st-century science. The Breakthrough Initiatives aim to put it on the same level as the other ultimate scientific questions," he said.
The public will be invited to participate in efforts to find a signal from another world through the SETI@home project.
Yuri Milner, a high tech US based-billionaire and founder of the initiative said technology had developed to a point where it was possible to put listening for signs of extra-terrestrial intelligence on a proper scientific footing.
He said: "Current technology gives us a real chance to answer one of humanity's biggest questions: Are we alone?
"With Breakthrough Listen, we're committed to bringing the Silicon Valley approach to the search for intelligent life in the Universe. Our approach to data will be open and taking advantage of the problem-solving power of social networks.
Prof Hawking added that he believed the search was one of humanity's most important scientific endeavours.
"To understand the Universe, you must know about atoms - about the forces that bind them, the contours of space and time, the birth and death of stars, the dance of galaxies, the secrets of black holes," he explained.
"But that is not enough. These ideas cannot explain everything. They can explain the light of stars, but not the lights that shine from planet Earth.
"To understand these lights, you must know about life. About minds."

Irish's relegation from English rugby's top flight for the first time since 1994 was confirmed on Sunday after a 32-25 home defeat by Harlequins.
"We've got to learn from those mistakes," Narraway told BBC Radio Berkshire. "Moving forward, we've got to make sure we eradicate them."
The Exiles will play Championship rugby next season as they bid to bounce back.
Narraway also lamented how a 17th defeat of the season came despite an encouraging performance against Quins.
"We've probably played good enough to win the game," he added. "I don't think anyone can argue with that.
"We were probably the better side at Newcastle and, apart from five minutes, the better side against Quins.
"It's difficult to take. I've never been relegated before in my career.
"I'm fully committed to the club. It's got great staff, great players and great people behind it. We've just let ourselves down at certain moments of this season.
"We'll stick together and hopefully in 12 months' times, we'll be building towards another Premiership season."
"Have you ever sailed before or is this your first time? Make sure you are all clipped in. You'll love it."
This was the advice from an experienced yachtsman who spotted a group of 17-year-olds on a boat at Hamble, near Southampton.
In fact, they were members of what the race organisers say is the only school team to qualify for the Rolex Fastnet race this year - and probably the only crew from a comprehensive school in its 92-year history.
This year, 2,700 sailors are taking part in the race - among them, 12 students from Greig City Academy in Hornsey, north London, a school where almost three-quarters of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
The race is notoriously tough.
The fastest crew round the course - from the Solent round the Fastnet lighthouse off Ireland - reached the finish line in Plymouth early on Tuesday morning, to gain one of the most coveted trophies in ocean racing.
For the Greig City pupils, the aim is just to get round safely.
With the race under way, three teams of four students, each led by a professional skipper and a teacher, are taking it in turns to sail the boat on four-hour watches.
"I am thinking about six days just constantly walking up and down, the same food with no flavouring and seeing the same people for the next six days," says Shabazz Patterson, who turns 17 on Friday
"I am a bit rocky about it to be honest - but I'm also looking forward to it. It's good experience."
Montel Jordan, 17, the main helmsman, says simply finishing will be a major accomplishment.
"I think it will be a big challenge," he says.
"We have never done a race that has such a long duration.
"I think everybody thinks about the downsides if something bad happens on the Fastnet race - but you also think of the good sides of it if you do complete it."
Both have just finished their AS-levels and started sailing four years ago, when geography teacher Jon Holt organised a few weekends on dinghies in Poole harbour.
Shabazz says he went along because it was a chance to miss a few days of regular school work and try something different.
But after just one weekend, the pupils were hooked.
The school began to raise money to cover the cost of the trips and to buy and restore first an old 22ft (6.7m) yacht on eBay, and later Scaramouche, a 45ft former international racing yacht for £17,000.
It was expensive. Scaramouche needed new rigging, ropes and sails, and then there was the cost of safety gear - lifejackets, rafts and waterproofs.
As they were starting their GCSEs, the pupils embarked on a campaign of fund-raising talks to convince charitable trusts, yachting suppliers and City of London companies to donate.
Their enthusiasm was infectious, according to Mr Holt, who is now head of the school's sixth-form.
When they entered their first race, which was against teams of adults, they had little hope.
"We thought, 'We have just got to sail around the course and not embarrass ourselves,'" Mr Holt says.
But they won.
Other races followed and the combination of the powerful old yacht and its enthusiastic novice crew continued to make waves.
They qualified for Fastnet earlier this year but realised they had run so short of money that they would probably be unable to enter.
"Safety is our first priority," says Mr Holt. So, Scaramouche has to be maintained to the highest standards.
The boat bills were eye-watering, but the pupils were determined to carry on.
"We gave so many different talks," says Montel.
"There was a period when we did no sailing but 30 different talks in a month, to different people.
"So, yes, we just tried to get the funding to try and carry on the project as long as possible because we didn't want to quit before we had done all the things we said we were going to do."
City company Pioneer Underwriters, whose bosses are themselves keen sailors, agreed to sponsor Scaramouche, covering the entire operating budget, including transport, food and accommodation.
Mr Holt says that when he organised the first few sailing weekends, as part of an outdoor education project, he never imagined it would lead to Fastnet.
"I didn't think that they would get to a point where they were competing in racing yachts at a national level," he says.
"It's far exceeded my expectations."
He puts their success down to discipline, "partly down to themselves and their families and partly fostered by the school".
"They don't come with a huge amount of prior knowledge, so they do exactly what they are told," he says.
And as sailors who came to the sport relatively late, "they take every single opportunity they can possibly get [and] genuinely want to do this themselves, with no parental push to start them sailing".
Montel says it has been hard to juggle sailing and schoolwork but it has made him more organised, while, in the run up to exams, teachers travelled out to meet the crews on sailing weekends to deliver extra tuition.
He is considering taking a gap year between school and university to qualify as a yacht master, which could help him secure a career as a professional yachtsman.
But first they need to finish the Fastnet race.
"I hope we will be one of the youngest crews ever to finish," says Shabazz.
"And that would just be something that would go down in the history books... that would be something big."
Described by Theresa May as an "essential step" on the way to leaving the EU, it aims to ensure European law will no longer apply in the UK.
Here's how it will work:
As the name suggests, the Great Repeal Bill will repeal the 1972 European Communities Act, which took Britain into the EU and meant that European law took precedence over laws passed in the British parliament. It will also end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
All existing EU legislation will be copied across into domestic UK law to ensure a smooth transition on the day after Brexit.
The government says it wants to avoid a "black hole in our statute book" and avoid disruption to businesses and individual citizens as the UK leaves the EU.
The UK Parliament can then "amend, repeal and improve" the laws as necessary.
Ensuring the continuity of EU rules and regulations is also meant to aid trade negotiations with the EU because the UK will already meet all of its product stands.
The Great Repeal Bill is likely to be "one of the largest legislative projects ever undertaken in the UK", a report by the House of Commons library predicts, with "major swathes of the statute book" needing to be examined to see how they will work after Brexit.
This is because working out which bits of UK law came from the EU is not as simple as it may sound.
In fact, it presents a "unique challenge", a House of Lords committee warned recently, because "the body of EU law is found in a number of different places, and in a number of different forms".
Simply transposing all EU law into UK legislation will not be enough, the government's white paper on the bill says.
Swathes of UK law "will no longer work" on exit, for example because they refer to EU institutions.
Not all of this can be done through the Great Repeal Bill, so the government plans to create powers to "correct the statute book where necessary" - without full Parliamentary scrutiny.
This is the one of the most controversial features of the bill (see below).
More complications are presented by the government's negotiations with the EU, which will be taking place while the bill is passing through Parliament.
Those talks could shape what the UK's post-Brexit laws look like - but the Great Repeal Bill will need to be done and dusted by the day the UK leaves.
The government plans to enact its "corrections" to the statute book using what are known as Henry VIII powers, after the Statute of Proclamations 1539 which gave him the power to legislate by proclamation.
Given that this will not involve the usual Parliamentary scrutiny process, opposition parties have protested, with Labour claiming ministers were being handed "sweeping powers" to make hasty, ill thought-out legislation.
Ministers have attempted to reassure critics by saying such measures will be time limited and not be used to make policy changes.
In total, the government estimates that 800 to 1,000 measures called statutory instruments will be required to make sure the bill functions properly.
A lot.
The government's white paper says there is "no single figure" for this, but that there are believed to be 12,000 EU regulations (one type of EU law) in force, while Parliament has passed 7,900 statutory instruments implementing EU legislation and 186 acts which incorporate a degree of EU influence.
The total body of European law, dating back to 1958, is known as the Acquis Communautaire.
It binds all member states and in 2010 was estimated to consist of about 80,000 items, covering everything from workers' rights to environment and trade.
As well as regulations, this includes EU treaties, directions and European Court of Justice rulings.
New EU legislation is being created all the time and will continue to apply in the UK until it leaves.
Different types of EU legislation work in different ways, and will be treated differently by the bill. So regulations, which apply automatically in the UK, will be converted into UK law.
But directives require a new UK to come into force - this legislation will be preserved by the bill.
Reality check: How much UK law comes from the EU?
The bill will be included in the next Queen's Speech (expected in the spring) and will then have to pass through both Houses of Parliament. The plan is for it to be passed ahead of the UK's exit from the EU but to become law only when it actually leaves.
Under the formal timetable for negotiations, the UK is due to leave the EU in March 2019 unless both sides agree to an extension.
The white paper confirmed the government intends to pass a number of other bills over the next two years to prepare for specific aspects of Brexit, including on customs and immigration.
The government also confirmed the UK would be withdrawing from the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights, the EU's human rights agreement, and that it would not be converted into UK law.
The government said the charter was "only one element of the UK's human rights architecture" and it had no plans to pull out of the European Convention on Human Rights, a separate agreement which is not part of the EU.
Ministers have also clarified that once the UK leaves the EU, European Court of Justice judgements will have the same status as UK Supreme Court decisions, which can be overturned by subsequent rulings.
For the record, we also know the Great Repeal Bill won't actually be called the Great Repeal Bill - because the word "great" is not permitted under Parliamentary drafting rules.
UK bills must describe the content of the bill in a straightforwardly factual manner, with no "slogans" permitted, so we we can expect a more technical title.
Until the UK actually leaves, EU law will continue to apply. But after leaving, the Repeal Act (as it will be by then) comes into force.
The government says having the legislation in place will ensure a "calm and orderly exit". Then begins the long-term process of the government, and Parliament, choosing what it wants to do with the laws it has incorporated from the EU.
With so many pieces of legislation to be considered, this could turn out to be a "major drain on resources" and should not "crowd out" other government policies, the Institute for Government think tank has warned.
Some of the EU laws are in areas that are controlled by the devolved administrations - so do they now become part of Westminster law, or will they be added to the statute book in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
It's not entirely clear how this will work, although the government says it will work closely with the devolved administrations.
It also predicts the repeal process will result in a "a significant increase in the decision-making power of each devolved administration", as powers in devolved areas are repatriated from Brussels.
But the bill has been described by the Scottish government as an "executive power grab".
It has warned it could block the legislation if Scotland's interests are not represented in the negotiations, assuming its consent is required before it becomes law.
Unveiling the white paper in Parliament, Mr Davis did not respond directly when asked by the SNP if the devolved administrations would have to give their consent to the bill, although ministers have previously suggested consent would be needed.
The UK government says blocking the bill could have "very significant consequences", leaving "a hole in our law".
Bedfordshire Police Det Con Jamal Hassan, 36, admitted four counts of misconduct in public office.
Hassan, of Corncastle Road, Luton, also pleaded guilty to three charges of making indecent photographs of children and covertly filming up the skirt of a woman in a shop.
He was jailed for six years at Peterborough Crown Court.
Hassan also admitted possessing extreme pornography and perverting the course of justice by trying to hide a storage device from police.
Three of the misconduct in public office charges relate to Hassan filming himself in people's bedrooms - including the child's - with underwear while on duty. The fourth involved him making a covert recording of a child in a police interview room.
In court he admitted making more than 6,000 indecent images of children, 1,552 of which were the most severe category A.
The offences were committed from 2000 up until May this year. Hassan was sacked by Bedfordshire Police earlier this month.
Bedfordshire Assistant Chief Constable Jackie Sebire said his actions "have no place in policing" and those he worked alongside were "completely unaware of the secret life he was leading".
She continued: "We are here to protect vulnerable people from harm and he has let down every single one of his colleagues with his conduct.
"While there is no suggestion Hassan committed any 'contact' offences, we are still investigating his actions over the past decade and would urge anyone who has concerns regarding his conduct to contact us."
Two microlights left the airport, in Eglinton, County Londonderry, at about 11:46 BST on Thursday bound for Scotland. One is now missing.
RNLI crew member Paddy McLaughlin said they are "very concerned" for the two people on board.
"Weather conditions have been calm but [it was] very cold through the night".
He added: "The difficulty we have, because of tides in the area, is that if there are people, wreckage or aircraft the tides will bring them north and south so we have to search a very, very large area."
Ian Guy is involved in the search at the National Maritime Operation Centre.
"We had information from another aircraft that was making the passage with them, so we had a reasonably good picture of where the last contact was. What we don't know is where they went after that," he said.
"The fog, which has hampered, could have been a contributory factor in that."
Fog on Thursday evening eventually hampered the search efforts, at one point the RNLI said visibility was down to about 10 metres.
Five lifeboats were launched from Larne and Red Bay in Northern Ireland and Portpatrick in Scotland.
They were later joined by coastguard helicopters from Prestwick and the Irish coastguard helicopter from Dublin.
Community Rescue Service are also assisting using thermal imaging technology.
Overnight they searched near Ballycastle and along the coastline toward Portballintrae.
"I have to say no stone has been left unturned all night," Mr McLaughlin added.
"There's been many coastguard teams out along the coast here, we've had mountain rescue out, we've had five lifeboats and two rescue helicopters so it's a very large and intensive search."
A spokesperson from City of Derry Airport confirmed that two Microlight aircraft departed at 11:46 BST on route to Scotland.
It is understood that the second plane arrived safely.
The search off the North Channel was suspended due to fog at about 04:00 BST on Friday, after lasting about eight hours.
The UK Coastguard said teams and rescue units had been waiting for "visibility to improve" before the search was resumed.
Ryan Gray of the UK Coastguard said: "UK Coastguard has also issued a Mayday relay broadcast in the area and several merchant shipping vessels have responded and are keeping a lookout for this aircraft.
"We may send further resources as the search widens."
The coastguard said the aircraft was "tracking east towards Castle Kennedy, near Stranraer".
Six coastguard rescue teams and two rescue helicopters were involved in the search.
Police in Northern Ireland and Scotland were also informed.
On the same night that parliament gave its approval RAF Tornados launched their first air strikes on the Omar oil fields.
Newly despatched Typhoon jets joined in the attacks two nights later, followed by a third set of strikes on the same oil fields on 6 December.
And then? It appears hardly anything. There has only been one other British air strike in Syria - an unmanned Reaper drone firing a Hellfire missile at an IS checkpoint near Raqqa on Christmas Day.
Despite the vote, the focus of British military action has continued to be on Iraq. The RAF's much lauded brimstone missile has not yet even been fired over Syria.
The prime minister's claim that the RAF would make a "meaningful difference" there has yet to be borne out.
So far more than 90% of the air strikes inside Syria have been conducted by the US.
It is of course still early days. But given the limited number of UK air strikes it begs the questions: why was the government so keen to expand the air strikes to Syria, and why the agonising over a vote that appears to have changed relatively little?
It is worth recalling that David Cameron argued for Britain to join the Syria air strikes.
He said it was to deny IS, also known as Isil, a safe haven. "It is in Syria, in Raqqa, that Isil has its headquarters, and it is from Raqqa that some of the main threats against this country are planned and orchestrated," he said.
He argued that by authorising British air strikes over Syria, the RAF would be able to take out the "snake's head" - the leadership of IS.
So why hasn't that happened? The first reason is that Syria has not been the military priority.
In Iraq air strikes are making a difference, largely because there is an army to work with on the ground.
The recapture of most of Ramadi has been achieved with the help of the RAF. On 18 December it carried out its most sustained bombing campaign over Ramadi and near Mosul - with 22 air strikes over a 24-hour period.
And there are more reasons as to why Iraq, not Syria, will continue to be the focus of the bombing campaign.
Iraq's prime minister has now said his forces will be turning their attention to Mosul.
Even though the tide appears to be turning in Iraq, the country will still be heavily reliant on Western air power for months, possibly years to come.
The fight against IS in Iraq will be hard. But in Syria it will be even tougher.
There is still no ground force around which the US-led coalition can rally.
Before the parliamentary vote, David Cameron admitted the situation on the ground in Syria was "complex".
But his assertion that there were about 70,000 Syrian opposition fighters, who did not belong to extremists groups, still seems fanciful.
Day-by-day the so-called "moderate rebels" are being targeted by Russian aircraft determined to bolster President Assad's position.
The battle lines in Syria are blurred and constantly shifting. And it is much harder to conduct an air campaign without eyes on the ground.
However, it would be wrong to give the impression that Syria is being completely ignored.
On 19 December the US-led coalition carried out its largest ever pre-planned attack on oil installations near Raqqa, dropping 140 bombs and missiles in a single day (in the coalition daily update this was listed as just one air strike as it involved one target).
The US has also been going after senior figures: 10 so-called "high-value targets" have been killed over the past month alone.
The coalition spokesman, US Colonel Steve Warren, said: "We are striking at the head of this snake, but we haven't severed it yet, and it's still got fangs."
The US has been flying combat missions over Syria for more than a year now.
It has had more than 100 aircraft gathering intelligence and finding targets (it is costing the US $11m - £7.4m - a day to fight this war).
This might, in part, explain why the RAF has carried out relatively few air strikes against the "head of the snake" in Syria. It often requires weeks, even months, of surveillance.
But Britain's very limited involvement in Syria, along with its limited number of aircraft, still raises questions and doubts.
Is the UK really making a "meaningful difference"? Or was the vote on 2 December as much to do with politics as military effect?
Syria has been embroiled in a bloody armed conflict for nearly five years. More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed, and 11 million made homeless.
What started as pro-democracy Arab Spring protests in 2011 spiralled into a civil war between President Bashar al-Assad's government forces and opposition supporters.
In the chaos, jihadist group IS moved in over the border from Iraq and claimed territory. The US, Russia, France and other world powers have entered the fray, adding to an already complex web.
Syria: The story of the conflict
"We're extremely disappointed with today's ruling. If equality law means people can be punished for politely refusing to support other people's causes, then equality law needs to change.
"This ruling undermines democratic freedom. It undermines religious freedom. It undermines free speech."
"I am relieved and grateful to the appeal court judges."
"I'm pleased of the verdict today and the three judges today.
"It clarifies the law and it means that anyone whether you are straight gay or bisexual can walk in to receive a service.
"It once again puts at the centre, the reason why we've got the law is to protect people so that we can all receive the same treatment."
"If law allows prosecution for not supporting a particular political agenda, the law needs to be changed."
"The Christian Institute has provided financial support for the Ashers cases. We must all now donate money for further appeals.
The Ashers case must now be referred to the Supreme Court, and if that fails to the European Court of Human Rights."
"No surprise in the Ashers case: unlawful discrimination."
"This is an assault on freedom of conscience and as such it should worry Christians and non-Christians alike.
"The aggressive 'gay rights' lobby will see this as the green light to demand that everyone not only accepts but celebrates their lifestyle."
"Today's decision from the Court of Appeal is welcome and makes sense. The original decision was the correct one and I'm glad it has been upheld.
"This is the right decision and represents another step forward for equality."
"I hope lessons are learnt following this case.
"Every person should be treated equally regarding provision of goods, facilities and services, irrespective of their background or beliefs. Today's ruling underlines that."
"This verdict is a defeat for freedom of expression. As well as meaning that Ashers can be legally forced to aid the promotion of same-sex marriage, it also implies that gay bakers could be forced by law to decorate cakes with homophobic slogans.
"It seems that businesses cannot now lawfully refuse a customer's request to propagate a message, even if it is a sexist, xenophobic or anti-gay message and even if the business has a conscientious objection to it."
"This is a sad day for the family and for freedom of conscience and religion.
"Ashers have lost the case, but even more importantly we have all lost some our freedom.
"Forcing someone to promote a view that they fundamentally disagree with is the antithesis of a free and fair society."
"Today's judgement will have far reaching implications for all business owners by confirming that they cannot in conscience refuse to be involved in the promotion of particular causes or messages that run contrary to their beliefs - religious or otherwise.
I remain deeply concerned by the apparent limiting of freedom of conscience and free expression, which are hallmarks of any democratic society.
"Out of respect for the dignity and worth of every person, and in the interests of the common good, we want the law to protect everyone from discrimination whilst ensuring that freedom of conscience and expression are properly valued and respected."
'We do not believe that this matter should have been brought to court.
"We believe that Ashers bakery should have accepted the Equality Commission's invitation to engage in mediation, where a remedy could have been found without the expense and division surrounding this court case."
"Ordinary people need to have the judgement on the Ashers case clearly defined and the interpretations made in easy speak for the law abiding citizen.
"Many people will look at this case and don't know what specifically Ashers did wrong.
"The judges must precisely spell out the law in order to stop others unwittingly breaking the law."

The network ran a slate referring to the film's title, during the hour-long slot when it should have aired.
The film, which features an interview with one of the men convicted of the Delhi bus rape, was due to be broadcast by the channel on Sunday night.
But it was outlawed by the Indian authorities on the grounds of "objectionable content".
Explaining its decision not to broadcast an alternative show from 21:00 to 22:00 local time (15:30-16:30 GMT), editorial director Sonia Singh said in a tweet: "We won't shout, but we will be heard."
Other Twitter users praised the decision. One comment read: "Kudos @ndtv for the #IndiasDaughter protest. A surprisingly mature decision in a mediascape that seems to deteriorate by by the day."
Another said: "@ndtv they may not always be right, but this time they are."NDTV
Filmmaker Leslee Udwin, who directed India's Daughter, has rejected claims by the authorities that the documentary contained offensive remarks towards women, and could cause a public outcry.
She also denied allegations that she broke a contract with the prison by airing the interview with rapist, Mukesh Singh.
He is facing the death penalty for his part in the rape and murder of a medical student on a bus in Delhi in 2012, which sparked protests across India.
The BBC's director of television, Danny Cohen defended the corporation's decision to show the film in the UK, despite a request from the Indian government that it shelve the broadcast.
"We do not feel the film as currently edited could ever be construed as derogatory to women or an affront to their dignity," he said.
Ahmad Zeidan, 21, from Reading, said he was tortured into signing a confession in Arabic, a language he does not know, after his arrest last December.
His father has urged the British prime minister to petition for a pardon on a UAE "day of amnesty" on 2 December.
Downing Street has yet to comment.
Zeidan's nine-year sentence was upheld in September, so his family believes the amnesty day for prisoners, held on UAE's national day, is the "last window" for him "to have his life back".
Manal Zeidan's letter to Mr Cameron stated: "My son was beaten, whipped and dragged across the floor when he could no longer stand from the pain.
"He was forcibly stripped naked and threatened with rape; he was threatened with electrocution; he was hooded and taken to solitary where he was then repeatedly beaten again and humiliated for over a week."
The letter added: "I worry constantly for my son as I see his physical and mental health deteriorate. At one point, weeks went by as he coughed up blood."
Zeidan was studying at the Emirates Aviation College in Dubai at the time of his arrest.
He claimed he was in a car with men he did not know well when 0.04g of the drug was found in the glove compartment.
In June, human rights charity Reprieve wrote to Mr Cameron urging him to intervene.
The Foreign Commonwealth Office said: "The welfare of British nationals abroad is an important priority for the FCO.
"We are in contact with Mr Zeidan's lawyer about the mistreatment allegations and will continue to ensure this is raised."

More than 100,000 people chose their teams this week, with Rooney only the 18th most popular selection, just making the bench.
Seven United players made the combined team, picked in the lead-up to Saturday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford (12:30 BST kick-off).
United goalkeeper David de Gea was the most popular selection, making more than 99,000 teams, while young midfielder Andreas Pereira attracted the fewest selections.
Rooney has scored a record 11 goals in Manchester derbies - but he did not make the starting XI chosen by BBC Sport readers.
Managers of club and country - Jose Mourinho and Sam Allardyce - are split on his best position, and so were you.
Rooney was picked by more than 19,000 people, of whom just over 4,000 wanted to see him start as a forward. The remainder picked him in midfield.
Instead the suspended City striker Sergio Aguero (80,000) and new United number nine Zlatan Ibrahimovic (86,000) were chosen to play up front in the most selected formation of 4-4-2.
United youngster Marcus Rashford was chosen up front by 14,500 people (another 9,000 picked him in midfield), while City's own young talent Kelechi Iheanacho made just 1,800 teams as a striker.
He may have cost City £47.5m this summer but there was no place in your combined team for John Stones at the back.
Stones was actually the fourth most-popular defender with 43,000 selections but had to make do with a place on the bench as City captain Vincent Kompany (65,000) and new United signing Eric Bailly (70,000) were picked most in the centre of defence.
United also supplied the full-backs, with Antonio Valencia (32,000 right-back votes) and Luke Shaw (69,000 picks at left-back) selected most.
The world's most expensive footballer would expect to walk into any side - and Paul Pogba certainly did with your teams.
The £89m signing from Juventus was named in 94,000 teams, the most selected outfield player.
Manchester City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne was also popular, with 84,000 picks, with David Silva (60,000) and Anthony Martial (34,000) rounding off the team. All those figures include them being picked in forward positions.
More people actually picked Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan (30,000) in midfield than United team-mate Martial (29,000), but the Frenchman was the most popular choice to play on the left of a four.
Raheem Sterling was the 14th most popular player overall with 27,000 picks in all positions.
With Joe Hart leaving Manchester City this summer for Torino, Spanish keeper David de Gea was the only real contender to play in goal for your combined team.
Indeed, while De Gea collected more than 99,000 nominations, his nearest rival - new City signing Claudio Bravo - managed just 4,000.

The increase - slower than the rising cost of living in general - included a 1% rise in England, a 0.2% increase in Wales and a 1.4% rise in Scotland.
Regionally, rent rises were led by a 1.5% rise in London, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
The steady increase came as demand from buyers in the housing market rose.
The last year has seen greater activity among buyers and sellers compared with previous years. However, various data and surveys have suggested that the market has cooled slightly in recent months.
Jeremy Leaf, an estate agent and surveyor in north London, said that many potential first-time buyers were choosing to rent at present, owing to many properties having become unaffordable.
He also said that many in London were taking a bet on prices easing in the next few months.
He said that more could be done to assist first-time buyers in getting on the ladder, but there was a risk at present of the authorities "looking the other way" on the issue.
The ONS figures show that the slowest rent rises in the year to September were in Wales, up 0.2%, and in the North West of England, up 0.3%.
The figures record the cost of renting privately.
The airline announced last week that it will stop the service from 22 February because of a lack of demand.
The daily flights began in October last year.
Council leader Drew Hendry said he was concerned about the loss of the service and said the local authority was seeking a meeting with Flybe bosses.
He said: "It seems premature to come to such a conclusion after just two months, when it must still be very early days for the new service.
"It is also disappointing that Highland Council has not been consulted in the decision."
Mr Hendry added: "Inverness remains well connected to the rest of the UK with flights to Gatwick, Belfast, Bristol and Manchester, as well as our international service to Amsterdam.
"However, it is vital for the continued economic development of the Highlands that our connectivity is sustainable and continues to grow."
Flybe said last week that it was "regrettably" suspending the service to London City Airport due to lower than anticipated passenger numbers.
The airline operated a service between Inverness and Gatwick Airport before selling the slots to Easyjet in a £20m deal in 2013.
Emergency services were called to the incident, in a detached three-storey science block at Monmouth School at about 19:00 BST on Tuesday.
Seven crews attended the fire, which it is believed started in a chemistry class room.
The school said no one was hurt and the cause was unknown. An investigation is due to take place on Wednesday.
The Grade-1 listed Wentworth Woodhouse, near Rotherham, has been sold to the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust.
The sale of the mansion and 82-acre estate was funded by grants, pledges and donations, including £3.5m from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.
The trust said the house would remain open to the public and has announced plans for a 15-year repair project.
More on this story and others from South Yorkshire
The 18th Century house and its grounds have featured in a number of film and TV productions, including Mr Turner, the 2014 biographical drama about the life of painter J M W Turner, last year's BBC mini-series Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and the Antiques Roadshow.
It is also believed to be the largest private house in the UK, with 250,000 sq ft (23,000 sq m) of floor space.
A spokesman for Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust (WWPT), which was established by SAVE Britain's Heritage, said the house would remain open to the public.
He said: "The long-term strategy is for the public to visit and enjoy all the most interesting parts of the property while restoring the others for revenue-earning uses such as events and holiday lets with business units in the stables.
"Traditionally a historic house of this size would have required a vast endowment.
"This business model will provide a substantial income stream intended to cover both running costs and periodic bouts of repair."

WWPT has previously said an estimated £42m needs to be spent on repairs.
It is hoped completion of the sale will take place within two to three months.
Julie Kenny, chair of WWPT, said: "Raising the money was a journey but we've got an even bigger one to come now.
"The trust is looking forward to it immensely. It is a fantastic building, lots of people want to come and see it and now it will be there for the nation for years to come."
The 300-room house was put up for sale in May following the death of owner Clifford Newbold.
A previous £8m deal to sell it to a Hong Kong-based investment company fell through in November.
It comes four days before the parents of Charlie Gard are to challenge the decision in the Supreme Court.
Chris Gard and Connie Yates want their 10-month-old son to undergo specialist treatment in the USA.
But doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London say the treatment is experimental and will not help.
In April, a High Court judge ruled against the parents' wishes and in favour of Great Ormond Street doctors.
Mr Justice Francis concluded that life support treatment should end and said Charlie should be allowed to die with dignity.
Three Appeal Court judges upheld that ruling last month.
Mr Gard and Ms Yates are to take their case to the Supreme Court on Thursday,
Lord Justice McFarlane, Lady Justice King and Lord Justice Sales published the reasoning behind their ruling on the British and Irish Legal Information Institute website earlier.
In the ruling the judges suggest there is no alternative treatment for Charlie.
It adds: "The sole principle is that the best interests of the child must prevail and that must apply even to cases where parents, for the best of motives, hold on to some alternative view."
The "unanimous" view of doctors treating Charlie was that moving him to the US for therapy was likely to "expose him to continued pain, suffering and distress", Lord Justice McFarlane added.
Lady Justice King said: "I would wish to acknowledge the skill and care given to Charlie by the doctors and nurses at Great Ormond Street.
"The fact that, for wholly understandable reasons, the parents have been unable to accept the view of the hospital that Charlie should now receive only palliative care, should not be interpreted as undermining any recognition of the dedication of the medical team who wish only to act in Charlie's interests."

Johnson-Thompson, 22, suffered disappointment in the heptathlon last Sunday when she finished 28th, but jumped 6.79m to reach Friday's final.
Team-mates Lorraine Ugen (6.87m) and Shara Proctor (6.68m) also qualified.

"I wanted to come out and put everything that was wrong right again," Johnson-Thompson told BBC Sport.
Fifth in the heptathlon at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, she was tipped for a medal in Beijing but three fouls meant she did record a score in the long jump discipline.
In the long jump her second jump of 6.79m, after a first attempt of 6.54m, saw her qualify in fifth position.
"I'm very grateful to be able to represent the country in the long jump as well as the heptathlon, so I have a chance to rectify my mistake," she said.
"I've had to sit and live with my thoughts for the last few days so it has been hard."
Ugen recorded the second longest jump, behind Serbia's Ivana Spanovic (6.91m), and Proctor qualified in 11th position.

United States-born sisters Tiffany Porter and Cindy Ofili, who now represent Great Britain, moved into the semi-finals of the women's 100m hurdles.
Porter was the second fastest qualifier as she won her heat in 12.73 seconds, while Ofili came fourth in her heat in 12.97.
Stephanie Twell's time of 15 minutes 34.72 seconds saw her qualify as one of the fastest losers to reach Sunday's women's 5,000m final.
British pair Charlie Grice and Chris O'Hare qualified for the men's 1500m semi-finals but Morgan Lake and Isobel Pooley did not reach Saturday's high jump final after failed three times at 1.92m.

South African Wayde van Niekerk became the fourth fastest 400m runner of all time when he won Wednesday's final, but collapsed after the race and was taken off the track on a stretcher.
The 23-year-old told BBC Radio 5 live: "I was calm and I just needed to catch my breath.
"It was normal lactic acid after the race. I made a mistake of going to sit down but I couldn't get up again.
"Other than that, I was 100% all the way to the hospital and back again. I knew I was fine.
"I knew this was a normal feeling and I've been through this at almost every 400m race I've had this year."
Lady Sasima Srivikorn told BBC Radio Berkshire she is in talks with several different companies to bring more sponsorship money to the club.
It has been called the Madejski Stadium, named after co-chairman Sir John Madejski, since it opened in 1998.
Lady Sasima said selling the name was an easy way to raise income, especially as the club was "moving up".
Reading are currently 13th in the Championship but have had several recent spells in the Premier League.
"I know to have the naming right on the stadium can fetch quite a lot of money," she said.
"There are many companies that would like to have that naming right, so that is one way of making the money come in."
The news provoked mixed reactions from fans.
Peter Metalli tweeted: "Some people know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Some of us weren't happy that it wasn't called New Elm Park!"
Another Twitter user joked the new name could be: "The plastic soulless tin pot stadium?"
But Jonathan Sawyer tweeted: "whatever the official name, it will always be the Mad Stad."
Lottie Fullerton was trekking on 10 August when she was hit by falling rocks and suffered a fatal head injury.
The 22-year-old, who was about to enter her fourth year at Jesus College, Oxford, has been described as "the best of people" by a friend.
About 500 people have died in floods and landslides caused by heavy rain in Nepal, Bangladesh and India.
Miss Fullerton was reportedly descending towards Tatopani in Nepal's Mustang region when the accident happened.
Her family said her brother travelled with her to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Miss Fullerton went to Canford School in Canford Magna, Dorset. A service will be organised at Jesus College chapel in her memory.
In a statement the college said: "Lottie was a very popular member of the college and will be much missed by all at Jesus.
"A fellow student described her as 'a friend to everyone at college'. Her tutors say she was an outstanding student, an excellent contributor, and a pleasure to teach.
"As well as being a hardworking and enthusiastic student, she played real tennis, went on the college ski trips and took part in the charity town and gown run.
"Our condolences are with her family, friends and all who knew her."
Her friend Polly Lamming wrote an obituary to be published by the Cherwell student newspaper and said there was "no one in Jesus who does not love and respect her".
She added: "Charlotte Fullerton was the best of people, and will always, always, be remembered as such."
Those who died were all women, Italian reports said.
The latest migrant tragedy came as the Italian navy raised to the surface a boat that sank with the loss of more than 700 lives.
The April 2015 sinking was the worst loss of human life since the influx of migrants began in 2013.
More than 64,000 migrants and refugees have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy since the start of this year, according to UN figures, including more than 16,000 in June alone. Most of the arrivals have come from African countries.
The Italian coast guard arrived at the scene of Thursday's sinking after a distress signal was received at its Rome headquarters.
The dinghy was partly submerged and many of its passengers were already in the water, reports said.
Sea conditions were described as poor, with high winds and waves of up to 2m (6.6ft).
Anatomy of a shipwreck - story of a migrant tragedy
The Italian navy was due to give more details about the operation that brought the boat 370m (1,214 ft) to the surface from the seabed off Sicily.
Many of those who died had been locked below the top deck and hundreds of bodies are thought to be still on board.
A special yellow-framed apparatus was submerged and affixed to the boat before a pulley system was used to bring the boat up.
The Toro Rosso driver line-up had zero grands prix and just 37 years of life experience between them when the 2015 season began in Australia in March, but both Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz have firmly established themselves as stars of the season.
The Dutchman, who has only recently turned 18, generated more headlines through his audacious overtaking. However, we should not overlook the contribution of his Spanish team-mate.
Sainz out-qualified Verstappen 10-9 over the course of the season but suffered more reliability issues, which meant he finished the season with 18 points - 31 fewer than the teenager.
His most impressive weekend of the season came in Russia where he left his hospital bed after a frightening crash in Saturday practice to drive a superb race.
Starting from the back of the grid, Sainz clawed his way through the field to seventh before his brakes failed.
Refusing to give up - and showing the kind of tenacity that his father Carlos 'El Matador' Sainz showed when he won his two world rally titles in the early '90s - he twice returned to the track with a stricken car before finally accepting defeat when part of his rear wing fell off, having hit the wall because of a lack of said brakes.
At the next race in the United States, it was more of the same. A crash in qualifying meant he again started from the back before embarking on another overtaking spree.
He crossed the line in sixth but a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pit lane meant he was demoted to seventh. Still, it was the best result of the season for a young man who showed the world in 2015 he will never give up.

They say the monsoon advancing towards the west of South Asia combined with westerly winds for an unusually long time and with an extraordinary intensity, which resulted in days of torrential rains.
Weather authorities in India and Pakistan have warned there is still a threat that the dangerous combination will cause more devastating floods.
At least 560 people are known to have been killed and thousands are missing in northern India. The death toll is expected to rise further.
The worst-affected areas are in India's Uttarakhand state, where floods have flattened homes and swept away roads and bridges.
More than 40,000 people, many of them Hindu pilgrims, are still stranded in what the government has described as a "national crisis."
"Such interaction (between the two weather systems) does happen at times during this season but the intensity this time and the duration is something we have not seen for quite some time," BP Yadav, director at the Indian Meteorological Department, told the BBC.
The interaction lasted three days he said, the first such event for many years.
In Pakistan, experts said the westerly weather system arrived unexpectedly and had covered almost all of the country.
Qamar Zaman Chaudry, former director general of Pakistan's Meteorological Department, said this was highly unusual at this time of the year - the first occasion in 26 years.
He said May and June normally represented the dry season in Pakistan, with monsoon rains from July to September.
"The westerly weather system should be here only between October and April, but - quite bizarrely - we are seeing it at this time of the year and all over the country: from the Himalayan mountains to the coastal zones."
Mr Chaudry said the cause was unknown, adding: "It is difficult for us to link this single phenomenon to climate change."
But he added: "When we look at the abrupt changes in the climate and weather patterns in our country during the last 10 to 15 years, it becomes easy to link this to the changes taking place around the globe."
Bill Hare, visiting professor at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, agreed that it was an intensive interaction between monsoon and westerly winds that resulted into the torrential rainfall.
"But the question is: is this intensity of interaction and resulting rainfall in any way linked to global warming?
"In this specific event, we simply don't know but what we do know with a high degree of confidence is that these kinds of events, as a general statement, will be occurring more often in the future and will be more damaging as the globe warms.
"I think that's a fairly solid analysis from the physical science community," Prof Hare said.
The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change, in its fourth assessment report, says that it "is likely that warming associated with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will cause an increase of Asian summer monsoon precipitation variability".
"Changes in the monsoon mean duration and strength depend on the details of the greenhouse gases emission scenario."
Debates continue on whether global warming has any role on the changing rainfall patterns around the world, but soot and urban smog pollution have also been blamed for disrupting the south Asian monsoon.
A report by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organisation in 2011 said: "They disturb tropical rainfall and regional circulation patterns such as the Asian monsoon, affecting the livelihoods of millions of people.
"They can change wind patterns by affecting the regional temperature contrasts that drive the winds, influencing where rain and snow fall."
Experts, however, say not much is known about why westerly winds reach the South Asian region when they are not supposed to.
"That is still an area which is still pretty unclear scientifically," says Prof Hare.
"But anything that brings a lot of moisture into the region and interacts with the convective energy of the monsoon will probably contribute to more extreme rainfall events."
Ben Wragge, of Thurston, Suffolk, was fatally wounded at a property on Sunday afternoon.
He died later at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. A post-mortem examination showed he died from a single wound caused by an air pellet.
Two teenagers arrested on suspicion of manslaughter were released on police bail until 16 June.
Police said they were continuing to investigate the circumstances of the incident.
"We'll go our way, you go yours," Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
The EU says Turkey needs to narrow its definition of terrorism to qualify for visa-free travel - which is part of a larger deal between the sides aimed at easing Europe's migration crisis.
Mr Erdogan was speaking a day after PM Ahmet Davutoglu, who largely negotiated the EU deal, said he was stepping down.
Leadership split spoils the party
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's bruised battler
Mr Davutoglu had also reportedly opposed Mr Erdogan's plan to give more power to the presidency. Mr Erdogan said the proposed constitutional changes were a national need, not a personal requirement.
The wide-ranging EU-Turkey deal involves the return of migrants, mainly Syrians, from Greece to Turkey, along with increased aid and other measures.
One of these is to allow Turkish citizens visa-free travel for short stays in the EU's Schengen area which comprises 22 EU and four non-EU members.
However, the EU wants Turkey to narrow its broad definition of terrorism to match tighter EU standards. It is one of five EU criteria Turkey still has to agree to in order to meet the visa-free requirements.
Mr Erdogan rejected this, saying in a televised speech on Friday: "Turkey, when it's under attack from terrorist organisations from all sides, the European Union is telling us to change the anti-terror law in exchange for the visa deal."
Referring to tents erected by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, near the EU parliament in Brussels, Mr Erdogan said: "You [the EU] will let terrorists build tents and provide them with opportunities in the name of democracy.
"And then [you] will tell us 'if you change this [anti-terrorism legislation], I will lift the visas'. Sorry, we'll go our way, you go yours."
BBC Turkey correspondent Mark Lowen says Mr Erdogan's hard rhetoric will please his support base but will alarm European leaders.
In recent months, he says, the government has used the terms "terrorist" or "terrorist supporter" to prosecute critics including journalists, suggesting they are supporting Kurdish militants or other armed organisations.
If Mr Erdogan does not meet the EU requirements, the European Parliament and EU leaders will not vote on the visa waiver at the end of June and, our correspondent says, the whole deal could fall apart.
The Turkey-EU statement in full
Another part of the EU-Turkey deal had been to hold new talks on Turkish accession to the EU.
But analysts say Mr Erdogan has been less convinced of EU alignment than Mr Davutoglu, and he will certainly be a tougher negotiator.
On Thursday, Mr Davutoglu, who was hand-picked by Mr Erdogan to succeed him as head of the governing AK Party after Mr Erdogan was elected president in 2014, said he would not stand again as leader at an extraordinary party congress called for 22 May.
Our correspondent says Mr Davutoglu had not been the pliant PM Mr Erdogan had hoped for, and the resignation is a tightening of control by the president.
Full European Commission Statement
The prime minister's unease with Mr Erdogan's plans to move to a presidential system, among other policies, had been evident in recent months.
In his speech, Mr Erdogan dismissed those who believe that, as president, he should stand aside from party politics.
He expressed his determination to put presidential reform to a referendum as soon as possible.
He said: "The presidential system issue is not Recep Tayyip Erdogan's personal request. The place in which Turkey has arrived as a result of its experiences has created an urgent need for both the presidential system and the new constitution."
Among those tipped as successors to Mr Davutoglu are Transport Minister Binali Yildirim, who is close to Mr Erdogan, and Energy Minister Berat Albayrak, who is the president's son-in-law.

Yang Jinjun, who is accused of bribery and embezzlement, fled to the US in 2001, state media said.
He is the first alleged fugitive to be brought to China under the high-profile Sky Net initiative, the party's internal disciplinary body said.
The plan is aimed at helping bring to justice corrupt Chinese officials who have fled overseas.
In April, Beijing published a list of 100 wanted economic fugitives.
It is part of efforts spearheaded by President Xi Jinping to crack down on rampant corruption and comes ahead of a state visit by him to the US next week.
China does not have an extradition treaty with the US.
In the past US officials have asked for more evidence from the Chinese government before helping to track down those wanted under Sky Net, says the BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing.
But according to Chinese anti-corruption officials Mr Yang was brought to China as a result of "close co-operation" between the Chinese and American authorities.
The repatriation comes days before Mr Xi's state visit to the US.
He is expected to travel to Seattle on 22 September before visiting Washington and New York, where he is due to give a speech to the UN General Assembly on 28 September.
Barkley, 20, has won three England caps and been tipped for a place in the squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

"I don't think there's any doubt that if Barkley doesn't get injured he's going to be top of the tree," said Match of the Day's Hansen, who won eight league titles with Liverpool.
"He has got absolutely everything."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez likened his player to former midfielders Paul Gascoigne and Michael Ballack.
"I can see some Ballack in him and some Gazza," the Spaniard said.
"Ross has incredible potential. We need to give him time and accept he is not ready yet. That will take time, but he has absolutely everything."
Gascoigne was widely regarded as the most gifted English player of his generation.

He was one of the stars of the 1990 World Cup when England reached the semi-finals and won 57 international caps between 1988-98.
Ballack won 98 caps for Germany and spent four years with Chelsea from 2006-10. He helped the Blues to the Premier League title and three FA Cups.
Former England striker Gary Lineker also remarked on the similar characteristics of Barkley and former Spurs team-mate Gascoigne.
"He has a bit of Gazza about him," tweeted Lineker."
"Similar stature, technique, confidence, ability to glide past opponents and a certain naivety."
Liverpool-born Barkley, who impressed again for Everton in a 1-1 draw at Arsenal on Sunday, made his debut for the Toffees two years ago in a 1-0 defeat by QPR, but then spent time on loan at Championship sides Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds.
Born: Wavertree, 5 December 1993
Teams: Everton, Sheffield Wednesday (loan), Leeds (loan)
Premier League debut: 20 August 2011
England debut: 6 September 2013
Having established himself as a regular at Goodison Park under Martinez, he made his first England appearance as a substitute against Moldova in September.
Barkley came off the bench twice more in last month's friendly defeats against Chile and Germany at Wembley.
"We have to make sure we give him at least another 50 starts to see his evolution," said Martinez.
"As a country, we need to be a little bit more protective about our youngsters because, if we look after him properly, he can give us something unique in English football and to the nation.
"I've never seen an English player with that sort of mentality."
Jason Gamble, 45, of Harnall Lane West in Coventry, threw the missile from a bridge on Ringway St Patrick's in the city on 15 February.
It landed in the back of the car, and two officers suffered minor injuries.
Gamble was found guilty of damaging property with intent to endanger life at Warwick Crown Court and will be sentenced on 11 December.
Det Insp Stuart Bell, from West Midlands Police, said: "Gamble's reckless actions showed no regard for their safety or that of any potential victims in the incident they were responding to."
Jane Collins, who represents Yorkshire and Humber, wrongly claimed three MPs knew about child exploitation in the town but failed to intervene.
The MPs - Sir Kevin Barron, John Healey and Sarah Champion - sued for slander and libel.
Mr Justice Warby adjourned the case to a later date.
The litigation was brought when Sir Kevin, MP for Rother Valley, Mr Healey, who represents Wentworth and Dearne, and Ms Champion, MP for Rotherham, complained about a speech given by Mrs Collins at a UKIP conference in September 2014.
It came after a report found about 1,400 children in the area had been abused between 1997 and 2013.
Lawyers for Ms Collins previously argued it was a political speech that did not contain any allegation of fact, but expressed an opinion to the effect that the MPs were likely to have known sexual exploitation was a serious problem in the area.
However, claims made against the three MPs were the "talk of the tearoom" in Parliament in the run-up to the general election and caused "extreme distress", Gavin Millar QC told the court.
He said: "They could not have been more serious for elected politicians serving constituencies in Rotherham."
In 2015, Ms Collins made an offer of amends which was accepted.
However, the amount of compensation could not be agreed so the case went back to court for an assessment of damages, which the MPs have said should be about £150,000 each.
The court also heard allegations that Ms Collins had "repeatedly and continuously" tried to avoid a damages settlement being made against her.
Ms Collins, who had previously failed in her attempt to get immunity from prosecution, said her work in the European Parliament meant she could not attend the hearing.
It took place in her absence.

The Super 8s format, introduced in 2015, sees the 12-team Super League and Championship split into three mini-leagues after 23 regular-season rounds.
"I'm not a fan of it," ex-Great Britain coach Noble told the Super League Show.
"If you want to build a competition, you've got to have a reasonable amount of stability."
He continued: "We put things off and off. If not now, then when? We've got to find a formula that's going to please everybody."
Teams in the second Super 8s group - the Qualifiers - must finish in the top three, or win the 'Million Pound Game', to play in the Super League in the following season.
Apart from the structure issue, Super League general manager Mark Foster recently said that the RFL would be willing to listen to clubs seeking to relocate to new territory.
The discussion has made more pertinent by the situation with Wakefield, who are to leave Belle Vue at the end of the season and have struggled to reach agreement for a new, purpose-built venue in their home borough.
Under a new proposal, a team in Wakefield's position could apply to move to a new location with a suitable venue and interested investors, as rugby union side Wasps did when they relocated from London to Coventry.
"Why not have a Super League team in Cumbria?" Noble added. "I think new teams bring new excitement. We've got take some brave steps.
"If there is a vision for something, we should all work towards it. If we can't find a way forward with that, then where are we going?"
Woodley, star of the Divergent series, was one of 27 people arrested at the site last October.
She has now signed a document agreeing to plead guilty to misdemeanour disorderly conduct, which would mean she would avoid jail.
The pipeline project has been highly controversial and drawn huge protests.
Native Americans say it will desecrate sacred land and damage the environment.
What's behind the controversy?
Woodley, who livestreamed her arrest on Facebook, initially pleaded not guilty to criminal trespass and engaging in a riot.
Her plea deal, which is awaiting the approval of a judge, would see her serve a year's unsupervised probation and forfeit a $500 (£400) bond.
The actress, who is also known for roles in The Fault in Our Stars and Big Little Lies, was scheduled to stand trial on Friday.

South Wales Police said the black Ford Focus hit a wall near a McDonald's on Old Road, Briton Ferry, at about 04:00 BST.
The matter has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, as officers had previously searched for the vehicle, following reports of suspicious activity.
Witnesses are asked to call police on 101.
The men who died are believed to have been the only occupants of the car.
Firefighters used cutting equipment to free them, and a rapid response paramedic along with two ambulances attended, but the men were pronounced dead.
Police want to speak to anybody who saw the Ford as it travelled eastbound from Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, along the M4, and over Briton Ferry bridge.
They want to contact the occupants of a black vehicle - believed to be a taxi - seen on the Briton Ferry roundabout at the time of the incident.
In a statement, South Wales Police said: "In accordance with force policy and statutory guidance, South Wales Police can confirm the incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission as prior to the collision, officers were searching for the vehicle after receiving information from Heddlu Dyfed-Powys Police that it had been seen acting suspiciously in the Ammanford area."
The charge follows Saturday's Championship game at the John Smith's Stadium, which Burton won 1-0 thanks to Jackson Irvine's stoppage-time winner.
The FA allege that, on approximately 88 minutes, both clubs "failed to ensure that their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion".
Both the Terriers and the Brewers have until 18:00 BST on 7 April to respond.

Gal Gadot was formerly in the Israeli army. Military service is compulsory in the country.
The Lebanese interior ministry banned the film hours before its release, on a recommendation from the General Security directorate, reports say.
The nations are officially at war, but have observed a ceasefire since 2006.
A formal request to ban Wonder Woman was first made by the Ministry of Economy and Trade, which oversees a long-standing policy of boycotting Israeli exports, which it considers "enemy attempts to infiltrate our markets".
But the decision took cinemas by surprise. One of the first indications that the ban was approved came from Lebanon's Grand Cinemas chain, which tweeted on Wednesday: "#WonderWoman has been banned in #Lebanon."
Just 12 hours before, it had responded to a follower's concerns, saying: "It won't be banned dear."
The film was due to have had its Lebanese premiere in Beirut the same night.
Film distributor Tony Chacra of the company Joseph Chacra and Sons said that decision was "very frustrating". "The movie has nothing to do with Israel," he told the Reuters news agency.
As news of a possible ban spread, Lebanese users on social media site Reddit said publicity for the movie had been high.
"I am Lebanese and I'm seeing ads for WW everywhere in Beirut. Pretty much everyone of my friends want to see it. This is just a vocal minority [against it]," one user wrote.
Ms Galdot has previously appeared as Wonder Woman in 2016's Batman v Superman, which was shown in Lebanese cinemas.
The Ministry of Economy and Trade had requested that movie be banned on the same basis, but was not successful.
Lebanon and Israel have no diplomatic relations.
Lebanon's Hezbollah movement fought a brief war against Israeli forces in 2006. Since then, a United Nations-monitored ceasefire has largely been observed.
However, there have been occasional border clashes between the two countries, and Israel has targeted Hezbollah with strikes in Syria in recent years.
Syria blamed "terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda" for the blast, which hit a central district near the headquarters of Syria's ruling Baath Party.
TV pictures showed images of bodies, wrecked cars and shattered windows.
The violence comes as Russia and the Arab League say they want to broker direct government-opposition talks.
No group has yet admitted the attack.
The Syrian foreign ministry blamed the bombing on "armed terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda that receive financial and logistic help from abroad".
The militant Islamist al-Nusra Front previously said it had carried out many of the bombings that have rocked Syria since the uprising began in March 2011.
Meanwhile Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described the war as "a road to nowhere".
The opposition Syrian National Coalition is holding a two-day meeting in Egypt to discuss a framework for a possible solution.
Also on Thursday, the UN and Arab League envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, agreed to remain in office through the rest of 2013, UN spokesman Martin Nesirky told the Associated Press. Mr Brahimi's contract was due to expire on Friday.
The UN has estimated up to 70,000 people have died in the conflict in the past two years.
Police and witnesses said the blast was a car bomb. It went off in the central Mazraa neighbourhood, close to the Baath offices and Russian embassy.
State and pro-regime TV showed pictures of dead bodies and destroyed cars. State media said at least 53 were killed and another 200 injured in the blast. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based activist group, said at least 42 had died, most of them civilians.
Surrounding roads are reported to have been closed off to traffic and firefighters and medical staff were soon at the scene.
Witnesses told AP news agency the car had exploded at a security checkpoint between the Russian embassy and the Baath Party central headquarters.
"It was huge. Everything in the shop turned upside down,'' one local resident said. He said three of his employees were injured by flying glass that killed a young girl who was walking by when the blast hit.
"I pulled her inside the shop but she was almost gone. We couldn't save her. She was hit in the stomach and head."
State media said the explosion had struck near a school and clinic and that schoolchildren were among the casualties.
It seems to have been targeted at the Baath party offices, but also affected residential areas, says the BBC's Lina Sinjab in Damascus.
Heavy fighting between government and rebel forces continued around the city, with the government carrying out air strikes in the suburbs.
Shortly after the car bomb, two mortars were fired at a military headquarters in Damascus, reports say.
And there were two other explosions in the city, also at security checkpoints, according to the SOHR.
The UK-based activist group is one of the most prominent organisations documenting and reporting incidents and casualties in the Syrian conflict. The SOHR says its reports are impartial, though its information cannot be independently verified.
Mr Lavrov said the Kremlin and the Arab League wanted to establish direct contact between the Syrian government and the opposition.
Speaking in Moscow, where he hosted league officials and several Arab foreign ministers, the Russian foreign minister said that sitting down at a negotiating table was the only way to end the conflict without irreparable damage to Syria.
"Neither side can allow itself to rely on a military solution to the conflict, because it is a road to nowhere, a road to mutual destruction of the people," he said.
Mr Lavrov and Arab League General Secretary Nabil Elaraby said their priority was to create a transitional government to navigate a way out of the violence.
No conditions for the negotiations have been set, they said.
The proposal initially received a cool reception from the Syrian National Coalition (SNC), with senior member Abdelbaset Sieda insisting Mr Assad and his allies "must go first".
"After that we can discuss with others in the regime who didn't share in the killing of our people," he said.
But the news agency Reuters says it has seen a draft SNC communique being discussed in Cairo which demonstrates an apparent softening in the group's stance.
The document reasserts the group's position that Mr Assad's apparatus cannot be part of any political solution in Syria, but omits previous demands that Mr Assad's regime must go even before any talks, Reuters says.
But that may still prove unacceptable in Damascus, says the BBC's James Reynolds in Istanbul.
Ingram was unfit for the start of their season due to knee surgery, after playing only limited-overs cricket for Glamorgan in 2016.
A Warriors statement said: "Colin feels that he would not do justice to the role of captain.
"His rehabilitation is going well, but he is some time away from getting out into the middle."
Ingram, 31, told BBC Wales Sport in August that he expected to return to action in October or November.
After joining Glamorgan in November 2014 as a non-overseas player under the Kolpak ruling, Ingram was the Welsh county's 2016 Player of the Year in white-ball cricket, but was not fit enough to play in the Championship.
"Colin has been an outstanding captain and we are grateful for his leadership over the past season," coach Malibongwe Maketa told the Warriors website.
"He still has a big role to play as a senior player in the squad and we are looking forward to his continued commitment to the team albeit not in a captaincy role."
Ingram, who played in 31 one-day internationals and nine Twenty20 internationals for South Africa, last played for the national side in November 2013.
"So, what's your opinion on group sex?" asked Evgeny Lebedev, Britain's youngest newspaper proprietor, who had flown to Minsk to interview the Belarusian leader.
The question, prompted by comments about the merits of group sex made by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a discussion about jailed punk band Pussy Riot, caused Mr Lukashenko to pause for just a fraction of a second, before he shrugged his shoulders and said matter of factly: "I really don't have an opinion on group sex."
It felt as if the room, full of political advisers and camera operators, sighed with relief as the conversation moved to the apparently less awkward issue of human rights abuses.
But the brief exchange on group sex was hardly the only surreal moment in the conversation between the son of a Russian oligarch, once labelled London's latest "It boy", and the man whose iron rule has earned him the title of Europe's last dictator.
Seated in ornate chairs in front of a faux fireplace, slim Mr Lebedev, dressed in fashionable tight grey jeans and the bulky, plain-speaking president in a dark grey suit made an odd pair.
The four-hour interview touched on many subjects, from democracy and economy, to the fall of the USSR and the war in Iraq, from Mr Lukashenko's friendship with the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi - "I told Muammar 'beware of Europe!'" the Belarusian president recalled.
Also on the agenda were his seven-year-old son Kolya - who often attends official meeting with him, something Mr Lukashenko claimed was because the boy was so attached to his father that he will not go to sleep without him, not because, as has been claimed, he is being groomed for succession and the human rights abuses that Mr Lukashenko is accused of.
There was even a brief toast with the specially brewed "presidential vodka", although Mr Lukashenko took only a tiny sip, saying he does not handle alcohol well.
Mr Lukashenko, who has been in power for 18 years, is banned from travelling to the United States and Western Europe. He has been accused of torture and human rights abuses - he has thrown his opponents in prison, banned protests and restricted freedom of expression.
Western journalists rarely get a chance to hold him to account, but Mr Lebedev managed to get the rare opportunity through his personal connections. BBC Newsnight was invited along, but as observers not interviewers.
Mr Lebedev, who hates being called an oligarch, went to Belarus as a journalist for the Independent, the British newspaper, which along with London's Evening Standard newspaper, his father Alexander Lebedev bought for him.
Speaking the night before the interview, Mr Lebedev had said he was determined to ask tough questions, adding: "I am told that apparently the president is ready for a fight".
But the interview never became much of a fight and from his very first answer Mr Lukashenko took firm charge of it.
Mr Lebedev's father made his billions after the break-up of the Soviet Union, in the chaotic, rapid privatisation of state monopolies that made a handful of Russians rich and left millions in poverty.
Mr Lukashenko never allowed this to happen in Belarus, and he dismissed Mr Lebedev's first question asking whether in the early 1990s Russia chose democracy over fairness, while Belarus went the opposite route:
"The sort of question you ask makes me wonder: but isn't fairness the very essence of democracy?" Mr Lukashenko said. "I have always believed that genuine democracy is fairness. The basis of my politics is first of all fairness and honesty."
"I would not say what happened in Russia in the 1990s was democracy, it was anarchy, and here you are right, we managed to nip these anarchic tendencies in the bud, we saved the country," he said.
Time and again through the interview, Mr Lukashenko referred to the stability he had brought to the people of Belarus.
"Look outside the window. Do you see the fence outside the palace? Do you see any guards? This is a country where everyone is safe," he said.
But the relative stability of Belarus comes at a price.
There is no presidential term limit here and the 1996 referendum consolidated Mr Lukashenko's power. Not a single election in Belarus has been deemed as free or fair by the West. Not a single opposition candidate won a seat in the recent, parliamentary vote. Protests have been violently supressed.
But every time Mr Lebedev pointed at deficiencies of the Belarusian political system, Mr Lukashenko came back with an articulate and colourful attack on what he described as hypocrisy inherent within Western democracies:
"Americans want to democratise us. OK, but why not go and democratise Saudi Arabia. Are we anything like Saudi Arabia? No we are far from that. So why aren't they democratising Saudi Arabia? Because they are bastards but they are their bastards," Mr Lukashenko said at one point - adapting Franklin D Roosevelt's famous description of Nicaraguan leader Anastasio Somoza.
"Don't you think you have too much power?" Mr Lebedev asked him.
"Yes it is a lot of power," Mr Lukashenko readily conceded, "but I believed then (in 1996), and many believed then, that we had no choice. We had to save the country, unite around something or someone to survive,"
"Isn't it time to open up now?" Mr Lebedev countered.
"If there wasn't for this insane pressure from you maybe we would, this unnecessary pressure which is trying to separate us from Russia for example. You are having the opposite effect, you are pushing us away from that very process. You don't want any democracy here," Mr Lukashenko replied.
The West's real agenda, the president said, was to open up Belarus' state controlled economy, which would make it vulnerable to the economic problems of the rest of Europe.
But many disagree with this assessment. Irina Khalip is a Belarusian opposition journalist for Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper also owned by Mr Lebedev's father.
In 2010 Irina and her husband - opposition leader and former presidential candidate Andrei Sannikova - were jailed for organising protests. International pressure got Irina out of jail and from under house arrest, but she is not allowed to leave the city, is visited regularly by the police, often in the middle of the night, and has another trial pending.
Several people have asked Mr Lukashenko about the fate of Irina Khalip before, and yet he looked surprised when Mr Lebedev broached the subject.
Mr Lukashenka said he thought Ms Khalip was already out of the country. He then turned to his aides and told them to send her to Moscow with Mr Lebedev. "Don't bother bringing her back" he added.
Minutes later a memo to that effect arrived. "You see, being dictator isn't such a bad thing," Mr Lukashenko joked handing the memo over to Mr Lebedev.
Later that day Mr Lebedev brought Ms Khalip the news that she could travel again. Irina was visibly grateful, but also sceptical. Mr Lukashenko's Belarus, she explained, can be a dark, secretive place where what is said in public does not necessarily correspond to reality.
Take for example the case of the Minsk metro bombing, an explosion that killed 15 people in April of 2011. Within 48 hours, police arrested two young men. Within weeks they were convicted and executed.
A BBC Newsnight investigation in July into the attack raised the possibility that security services were involved in the bombing, and the mother of one of the men said confessions were extracted under torture.
Mr Lebedev asked the president whether he had any doubts about the verdict.
"Not a single one," Mr Lukashenko answered firmly. He said that allegations that confessions were extracted under torture were not true. He spoke at length about how international criminologists, including teams from Israel, France and Interpol, backed the result of the investigation, which he said was under his personal control.
"All were unanimous that these were the people who had committed these acts of terrorism," he said.
Although we, the BBC, were present only as observers I told the president about the findings of the Newsnight investigation and Mr Lebedev's own Independent newspaper, which covered the trial extensively, and asked him why the verdict was so rushed.
In response Mr Lukashenko suggested that I watch the footage of the entire trial myself before "jumping to conclusions".
"Are you trying to convince me that I blew myself up?" he said "We have an image of a calm, stable Belarus, which we don't want to lose. The worst thing for us is to lose that. Are we such idiots that we would have planted and detonated the bomb ourselves?"
After the interview, the president put his arm through Mr Lebedev's and the two men disappeared for a private meeting. Mr Lebedev later told me he came to Minsk with a message from somebody in Europe, but refused to elaborate.
When I caught up with him afterwards Mr Lebedev sounded pleased with the interview, and seemed genuinely surprised when I asked him why he spent so much time debating with Mr Lukashenko on the perils of Western democracy instead of challenging him on problems in Belarus. Or why he chose to grill him on failure to rename the KGB, but not on torture that it is accused of.
"I did challenge him," Mr Lebedev replied,"... and I managed to get Irina Khalip out".
But back at her house Ms Khalip said she has nothing to celebrate yet:
"Lukashenko made a promise to Yevgeny Lebedev, he didn't say it to the criminal police who are looking after me. Words don't have legal meaning. We need a piece of paper with a signature and a stamp - even in a totalitarian state," she said.
And even if Mr Lukashenko keeps his promise, she does not want to leave Minsk. This is her home. Like so many others, Ms Khalip wants to find her freedom in Belarus.

The new note will debut in 2020 to mark the 100th anniversary of the US Constitution's 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
The treasury will seek the public's input in the selection, looking for a "champion for our inclusive democracy".
Former US political leaders - all white men - currently headline US notes.
The woman who the Treasury Department ultimately selects will replace Alexander Hamilton, a key figure in the American Revolution and the first secretary of the US Treasury.
Hamilton began appearing on the $10 note in 1929. He along with diplomat and inventor Ben Franklin are the only non-presidents featured on current US notes.
Women have been featured on US money before, but the notes and coins were not widely used. Most recently women's rights activist Susan B Anthony and Native American Sacagawea appeared on dollar coins, but both coins quickly went out circulation.
The primary goal of the redesign is to add measures to thwart counterfeiters, the Treasury Department said. But women's groups have recently pressed for more representation on US notes.
"We have only made changes to the faces on our currency a few times since bills were first put into circulation, and I'm proud that the new 10 will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman," said Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.
In March, an independent group held a contest to select a woman to headline the $20 note, replacing former President Andrew Jackson.
Abolitionist Harriet Tubman was the public's top choice, beating out finalists, former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, civil rights activist Rosa Parks and leader of the Cherokee nation Wilma Mankiller.
Tubman was known as the "conductor" of the Underground Railroad that allowed many slaves to escape to freedom in the 1850s.
Mr Lew will make a decision about the selected woman by the end of year.
Since giving up his membership last year to focus on the PGA Tour, the 38-year-old Englishman has climbed from 75th to 24th in the world rankings.
Casey said staying in America was the "right decision for my family" but he was "very sad" he would not be able to qualify for Europe's Ryder Cup team.
Europe captain Darren Clarke said Casey's decision was "disappointing".
Clarke can only select players who hold European Tour membership.
Former world number three Casey played in Europe's nine-point victories in 2004 and 2006, and their defeat at Valhalla in 2008.
He was left in tears when he was overlooked for a wildcard by Colin Montgomerie in 2010, when he was ranked seventh in the world.
Casey said: "With my wife and young son as my priority, I have decided to continue to concentrate on the PGA Tour, which has worked well for us this past year.
"I believe this decision will help me to be the best I can be both on and off the course."
Clarke, who played alongside Casey at Oakland Hills in 2004 and the K Club in 2006, said: "It is obvious that representing Europe in the Ryder Cup is not on Paul's priority list, which is disappointing, but I wish him all the best for the future.
"The focus is firmly on the players who are committed to the European cause as we move towards Hazeltine and I look forward to working with these players over the next 10 months."
The 2016 Ryder Cup begins on 27 September.
A glass shield now protects the House of the Tragic Poet, where tourists can see the dog with the inscription "Cave Canem" - Latin for "Beware of the dog".
Frescoes at the house's entrance were also restored. Ash from a volcanic eruption buried Pompeii in AD79.
A staffing dispute caused long queues at Pompeii on Friday, in searing heat.
Pompeii gives visitors an extraordinary insight into everyday life in ancient Rome because many buildings were protected from the elements under the thick blanket of ash from Mount Vesuvius.
The site, near the southern city of Naples, has suffered from funding problems for years. Staff unions at Pompeii have criticised a management reorganisation there.
The House of the Tragic Poet has some of Pompeii's finest examples of interior decoration, including scenes from Greek mythology.
But the house's owners remain unknown - they may have died in the eruption along with many other Pompeii citizens.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde needs to save about £69m in the coming year.
Options include closing Lightburn Hospital and the birthing unit at Vale of Leven. Consultation begins next month with a decision due in December.
Scottish ministers have said they would not approve any plans that "do not properly reflect" local concerns.
The board has claimed that the proposals are motivated by the clinical need for change and would not in themselves save £69m.
NHS GGC chairman John Brown said: "It is only right that the public have an opportunity to hear the clinical case for change and to have their views heard.
"We want to ensure that all affected, including those who have campaigned against change, are able to become fully involved in this process of service modernisation.
"Our services are continually evolving and improving. Whilst the proposals do signal change, it is important to stress that, in each instance we are planning to retain local services within local communities."
Other proposals which will be part of the consultation are ending in-patient care at the Centre for Integrative Care at Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow.
Another is transferring some services for children at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley to Glasgow.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "No final decisions have been made on these proposals and the Scottish government has not approved the proposals considered by the board."
Ms Robison pointed out that the government had ended "damaging uncertainty" and secured services at the Vale of Leven back in 2009.
It had also rejected, she said, proposals to close Lightburn Hospital in 2011 "because both patients and clinicians were of the view that the hospital provided high quality services that were greatly valued by the community".
The health secretary added: "Any proposals that do not properly reflect these concerns will not be approved by this government."
Scottish Labour's health spokesman Anas Sarwar urged the government to "step in to stop cuts to local services in Glasgow and the west of Scotland".
He believed that to do anything else would be "unacceptable".
Mr Sarwar added: "The NHS in Greater Glasgow and Clyde is facing £69m worth of cuts under the SNP government and that is putting local services on the line."
In January, NHS GGC said a leaked paper outlining £60m of possible cuts was a "discussion paper" rather than an "approved plan".
Now that the health board has working proposals for savings, these will be put to consultation before a final decision.
In a statement the accountancy firm said they "have now retired following a period of administrative leave".
Jon D'Arcy, Eamonn Donaghy, Arthur O'Brien and Paul Hollway were detained by HM Revenue and Customs on 25 November.
KPMG subsequently ordered its own internal investigation.
However, it said the arrests were not connected to its business or clients.
The company employs more than 200 people in its Belfast office.
KPMG added on Friday: "The firm has co-operated fully with the HMRC investigation which relates solely to the personal affairs of the four individuals."
The four are directors in a property investment company, JEAP Limited, which made a £4m loss when the Irish property market crashed in 2008.
Mr Donaghy was KPMG's head of tax in Belfast and was heavily involved in the campaign to devolve corporation tax powers to Northern Ireland.
Mr Hollway was the firm's head of corporate finance in Ireland and Mr D'Arcy its chairman.
The Belfast office will now be headed up by John Hansen.
Her ex-boyfriend Simeon Carr-Minns, known then as Jim, asked Pte Cheryl James if she was seeing someone else two days before she died.
She was found dead with a bullet wound to the head on 27 November 1995.
The 18-year-old from Llangollen, Denbighshire, was one of four recruits to die at the base in seven years.
Mr Carr-Minns had been seeing Pte James for two months before she died but they had broken up, the Woking inquest heard.
He said he and Pte James had discussed marriage and made plans for him to meet her parents.
But the inquest heard he asked her on 25 November if she was seeing someone else and later that evening he found her with another man, the next day her mood was unusually up and down, and she died on 27 November.
Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events
Mr Carr-Minns was asked whether their conversation on 25 November in Deepcut's Naafi bar had been heated.
He said: "Slightly impassioned, maybe, but not raised voices. It was never that.
"But I would have been quite anxious about it. I was never angry, more upset."
The inquest heard that later that evening he found her with another man, Pte Paul Wilkinson, on a bed in a disused block, looking "dishevelled".
The hearing was told that on the following evening of 26 November, Pte James and Mr Carr-Minns had sex at a party where Pte Wilkinson was also present.
Mr Carr-Minns said: "She would be laughing and joking one minute and quite aggressive or sad or angry the next minute.
"She seemed to go from one state to the other. I had not seen her like this before."
That night he walked her back to her own block and then went back to his own barracks after she asked him to come back and visit her the following day.
The next morning Mr Carr-Minns received a phone call and heard Pte James had died.
He said the news left him "absolutely devastated" and he "collapsed" in the phone box.
He said he told police in 2002 that "at no time" had Pte James indicated she might kill herself.
Previously in the inquest, evidence was read from a Surrey Police review which suggested Mr Carr-Minns "should be considered as a suspect".
But coroner Brian Barker QC said he was not under any suspicion and the family had indicated in open court they did not think him a suspect.
A first inquest into Pte James's death in December 1995 recorded an open verdict. This second inquest was ordered after High Court judges quashed the original findings.
The hearing continues.
The war hero, born in the Leith area of Edinburgh in 1919, died earlier this year at the age of 97.
He was renowned for flying 487 different types of aircraft - a world record that is unlikely to be matched.
The items being sold include his 1970 CBE and the Distinguished Service Cross awarded in 1942. The lot is expected to fetch up to £200,000.
The collection will also feature his Air Force Cross, awarded in 1947 and the Defence Medal with King's Commendation for Brave Conduct, along with his flying logbooks, which date from 1942, to his final flights for the Fleet Air Arm in 1970.
During World War Two, Capt Brown flew fighter aircraft and had the most aircraft carrier landings, with 2,407 - including the first in a jet-propelled aircraft. He also achieved the most catapult launches with 2,721 and carried out some of the world's first helicopter tests.
In the course of his aviation career, he survived 11 plane crashes. He also witnessed the liberation of the Bergen Belsen concentration camp and later became good friends with the first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong.
John Millensted, Bonhams head of medals and coins, said: "We are selling his entire archive, including his incredibly important medals.
"It is unrepeatable. We expect interest from individuals and also institutions. It would be nice if it went to a museum."
Mr Millensted said that Capt Brown's family was selling the archive, including the medals and logbooks, "so that others might appreciate them".
He said: "It has been a very difficult decision for the family. It was felt that it was appropriate to sell now so that others might appreciate them for the future.
"They would love to see them displayed for future generations to appreciate and understand."
The items will be sold at Bonhams' coins and medals sale in London's Knightsbridge on 23 November.

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

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

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

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

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

President Maduro said improvements in bilateral relations and security had enabled Venezuela and Colombia to take a number of decisions, including the reopening of the border.
He said the measures would be "well received by our peoples", Telesur television network reports.
Meanwhile, President Santos was quoted as saying that "it will be a provisional opening as we learn and adjust our decisions every step of the way".
Colombia and Venezuela also agreed to work towards the full reopening of the border, saying they needed first to reach separate agreements on security, commerce and energy.
Mr Maduro ordered the border to be closed in August 2015 after former Colombian paramilitaries attacked a Venezuelan military patrol and wounded three soldiers.
In July, Venezuela twice opened the border to allow people to cross over to shop for basic foods and medicines. Nearly 200,000 people entered Colombia.
Many basic goods are in short supply in Venezuela because of a severe economic crisis in the country.
Venezuela has suffered severe shortages for months as a result of the falling price of oil which is the country's prime source of income.
The victim was found injured in Doyle Gardens, Kensal Green, just before 15:30 GMT on Monday.
Ambulance crews treated the boy at the scene and took him to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Metropolitan Police murder detectives have yet to release the boy's identity but said his next of kin had been informed. No arrests have been made but witnesses are being sought.
Capital City Academy in Willesden has confirmed the stabbed teenager was a pupil at the school.
A friend of the victim, who did not want to be named, told BBC London Radio: "He was one of the most loved people in the whole of our school.
"I gave him hug and said, 'Get home safely', and then I come out of school and I see that he's stabbed.
"There's all these teenagers out here running with knives and guns. What's the point? Where does it lead us?"
Piracy news site TorrentFreak says brands including Omega, Fossil and Cartier are sending cease-and-desist notices to websites offering their watch-face designs for download.
Many smartwatches offer users the chance to customise the design.
One watch-face website said it acted swiftly to remove copyrighted designs.
Smartwatches are available from a range of firms including Samsung, Sony and LG. Next year Apple will launch a version.
According to TorrentFreak, Richemont - the company behind brands such as Cartier IWC and Panerai - has lodged notices against watch-face sites citing breaches of its trademark rights. In some cases, TorrentFreak reports, it is giving sites 24 hours to remove infringing content.
"We prefer to never comment on trademark protection issues," Richemont told the BBC.
Swatch-owned Omega, also highlighted by TorrentFreak as requesting take-downs, did not respond to requests for comment either.
Sites such as Facerepo offer users the chance to download a traditional face on to their smartwatches.
It describes itself as "a repository of watch-faces for Android Wear devices" but goes on to say that "all faces hosted on the site are the property of the original content creator".
It told TorrentFreak that it acts quickly to remove watch-faces that are infringing copyright.
"Although some of the replica faces we've received take-downs for are very cool-looking and represent significant artistic talent on the part of the designer, we believe that owners of copyrights or trademarks have the right to defend their brand," it told the news site.
Last week, Apple released its WatchKit developer tools, allowing developers to begin creating apps for the Apple Watch.
Currently those tools do not support the creation of custom watch-face designs. | Two men have died after their car hit a wall in Neath Port Talbot.

Welshman Doull and England's Dibben won four of five races in the Elite Championship to move to within 19 points of leaders Team Pedalsure.
Double Olympic champion Laura Trott won the women's points, elimination and the scratch race ahead of Katie Archibald.
The event is the fourth of six in the series, with two one-day competitions to come in Manchester in January.
Team Wiggins was formed by 2012 Tour de France winner and four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Bradley Wiggins specifically to help him compete for qualification for the Rio Olympics.
Doull and Dibben were beaten in the first race of the evening as Australian Sam Welsford, riding for Orica-GreenEdge, took the 250m flying lap in 13.053 seconds.
However, the pair then won the remaining quartet of races - the points, scratch, Madison time trial and team elimination.
Doull admitted on the Revolution Series official website that his team had "a bit of an advantage given that we have access to the track quite a lot in Manchester".
"With the Worlds [Track Championships] only a few months away we're all in really good shape, which definitely helps," he added.
Trott, 23, who won three titles at the European Track Championships in Switzerland in October, was again in fine form, completing a clean sweep of the women's endurance events.
There was also success for a British rider in the women's sprint competition as Victoria Williamson beat France's Melissandre Pain in the final.
Production rose by 5.4% in January and February - the worst since 2008.
China is trying to refocus its economy from investment and export-led growth to consumer spending.
UK finance minister George Osborne said China's slowdown is one of a "dangerous cocktail of risks" hampering recovery from the 2008 financial crisis.
Recent data revealed that Chinese exports fell 25.4% in February compared with the same month last year.
It was the biggest monthly decline since 2009, and ahead of the 11.2% fall recorded in January.
Retail sales in the first two months of the year grew by 10.2% - below analysts' expectations of a 10.9% rise.
Zhou Hao, an economist at Commerzbank, told Bloomberg that the mix of slower industrial output and retail spending "gives us a worrying picture". He said: "The overall growth profile remains still gloomy."
However, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People's Bank of China, said that the government would be able to achieve a target of an average 6.5% in GDP growth for the next five years without implementing measures to stimulate the economy.
"Excessive monetary policy stimulus isn't necessary to achieve the target," he said. "If there isn't any big economic or financial turmoil, we'll keep prudent monetary policy."
Writing in the UK's Sun on Sunday ahead of presenting a budget on Wednesday, Mr Osborne said falling oil prices, interest rate changes elsewhere and political instability in the Middle East meant "hopes of a strong global recovery have evaporated".

All roads in and out of Gombe have been blocked and a 24-hour curfew imposed, reports the BBC's Abdullahi Kaura Abubakar in Abuja.
Gombe - capital of Gombe State - has previously suffered suicide attacks but correspondents say this was the first time Boko Haram launched a direct assault on the city.
Reports said militants first attacked the town of Dadin Kowa, about 40km (25 miles) from Gombe.
Ground troops with air support then battled to keep the insurgents from entering the city, as residents fled into the bush and nearby hills.
Boko Haram controls a swathe of territory in north-eastern Nigeria.
Its insurgency has become a regional crisis with the four affected countries - Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon -agreeing to form a regional military force to try to contain the threat.
In response, the insurgents have stepped up their attacks in Nigeria and neighbouring states.
It emerged on Friday that Boko Haram had attacked Chad for the first time, crossing Lake Chad in four motorboats and raiding a village overnight.
Security sources and witnesses said five people were killed by Boko Haram in the village of Ngouboua, including a local chief, a police officer and three civilians. The Chadian military said two of the attackers were also killed.
Some reports put the civilian death toll higher.
Villagers said about 30 militants took part in the attack, setting fire to two-thirds of homes.
Boko Haram, which wants to create an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, has killed thousands and forced millions to flee their homes in north-east Nigeria since 2009.
Why is Boko Haram so strong?
Played on a specially-adapted course with bigger-sized holes, footgolf is being introduced at Hazlehead by Sport Aberdeen from Friday.
Aberdeen FC players Peter Pawlett and Mark Reynolds were joined by pupils from Hazlehead Primary for the launch.
Reynolds said after taking a shot: "It's tougher than it looks, but it's enjoyable."
The football and golf crossover is said to be one of the UK's most popular new sports.
Sport Aberdeen's director of operations Keith Gerrard said: "We are very excited to have launched the first footgolf course in the north east.
"The beauty of this sport is that anyone can take part and have a great time."
The Aberdeen FC Community Trust has also been involved in the initiative.
Russia's top investigative body has opened a murder inquiry into the case, which comes after Russia banned US adoptions, citing previous deaths.
Max Shatto - whose Russian name is Maxim Kuzmin - died on 21 January.
Texas officials say they are still investigating the death, and no arrests have been made.
Max Shatto and his two-year-old brother Kristopher were adopted from an orphanage in north-western Russia last year by Alan and Laura Shatto, who live in Gardendale, Texas.
They have not commented publicly on the case.
Laura Shatto told deputies that the two boys had been playing outside together before she left the house and found Max on the ground, Ector County Sheriff Mark Donaldson said.
Deputies arrived at the home as the ambulance was leaving with Max, he said, and the boy was pronounced dead at the hospital a short time later.
Forensic investigator Sondra Woolf said bruises had been found on Max's body, but it was not immediately possible to say whether they were related to the cause of his death. An autopsy is being conducted.
The US state department has said it will help Russian officials make contact with the appropriate authorities in Texas.
"It is a terrible tragedy that this child has died. But none of us, not here, not anywhere in the world, should jump to a conclusion about the circumstances until the police have had a chance to investigate," the state department's Victoria Nuland said on Tuesday.
The boy's death came just three weeks after the Russian parliament, the Duma, enacted legislation ending all adoptions of Russian orphans by Americans.
The move was criticised by the United States and by the opposition in Moscow, and was part of a Russian law passed to retaliate against US legislation which blacklists Russian officials accused of rights abuses.
In the past two decades, Americans have adopted more than 60,000 Russian children.
The deaths of 19 of them in the past 10 years have raised concerns in Russia, particularly the 2008 death of Dima Yakovlev, known in America as Chase Harrison, who died of heatstroke after his adoptive father left him in a car on a hot day.
Miles Harrison was acquitted of his manslaughter at trial.

DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James said he would ask a grand jury to indict Officer Robert Olsen, who shot Anthony Hill last year in Georgia.
Mr Olsen was responding to a call about a man behaving strangely outside an apartment building.
Hill, who was 27, had mental health problems, according to his family.
Mr James said the case will be presented to a grand jury on 21 January.
He will ask jurors to indict Mr Olsen on two counts each of felony murder and violating an oath of office, and a count each of aggravated assault and making a false statement.
An emergency caller told police a man had been "acting deranged" and was "crawling around on the ground naked".
DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric Alexander said Hill charged at the officer despite being told to stand down, and Hill was shot twice and died at the scene.
Mr Olsen was placed on administrative leave.
Hill was black and Mr Olsen, who has been on the force for seven years, is white.
A series of officer-involved shootings, largely involving white officers and unarmed black males, have stoked racial tensions across the country.
Hill's girlfriend Bridget Anderson, who had been urging criminal charges, said the news was "surreal".
She now hopes the grand jurors will think the charges are just.
Mr James believes there is a good case.
"We don't seek indictments when we don't believe the facts and circumstances are present and the information is available for us to present to a grand jury to have a positive outcome."
Police said the pedestrians were involved in a collision involving two cars on Drove Road in Gamlingay, at about 10:10 GMT.

The road has been closed between Waresley Road and The Cinques.
Denise Clair, who was left "devastated" by a Crown decision not to prosecute, sued striker David Goodwillie.
She also sued Goodwillie's then Dundee United colleague David Robertson.
She claimed they raped her at a flat in Armadale, in West Lothian, after a night out in Bathgate in January 2011.
It was the first civil rape case of its kind in Scotland.
Ms Clair, who previously waived her right to anonymity, said she could not remember what happened after being in a Bathgate bar and woke up in a strange flat the following morning.
The 30-year-old originally sought £500,000 in compensation, but damages were later agreed at £100,000 in the civil action at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
The mother-of-one maintained she was incapable of giving free agreement to sex because of her alcohol consumption, but Goodwillie, 27, who now plays with Plymouth Argyle, and Robertson claimed that intercourse had been consensual.
A judge said: "Having carefully examined and scrutinised the whole evidence in the case, I find the evidence of the pursuer (the woman) to be cogent, persuasive and compelling."
Lord Armstrong said: "In the result, therefore, I find that in the early hours of Sunday 2 January 2011, at the flat in Greig Crescent, Armadale, both defenders (the footballers) took advantage of the pursuer when she was vulnerable through an excessive intake of alcohol and, because her cognitive functioning and decision-making processes were so impaired, was incapable of giving meaningful consent; and that they each raped her."
The judge said he found neither Goodwillie - who also played for Aberdeen and Blackburn Rovers - or Robertson to be credible or reliable on the issue of whether they had a reasonable or honest belief that she was consenting.
He rejected evidence relied on by the players that Ms Clair was not particularly affected by alcohol and was no more drunk than anyone else in the company they had been in that night.
Lord Armstrong said that prior to the incident the victim had enjoyed life, but her life changed following the decision not to proceed with a prosecution.
Lord Armstrong said: "She found that decision difficult to understand and had felt that she had not been believed."
"She felt that her life had been destroyed by something which had happened although, because of her lack of memory, she was not fully aware of what it was that had caused that effect," he said.
Goodwillie had gone to join Robertson in Bathgate after the pair had played for Dundee United against Aberdeen on 1 January during which Goodwillie scored an equaliser.
He maintained that he did not think Ms Clair was too drunk to consent to sex.
However, a security firm employee working at the nightclub told the court that she had been in need of an ambulance.
Gayle McGregor said: "She wasn't in control of herself. Her eyes were rolling in her head. She couldn't stand up straight. She couldn't speak to me properly. She wasn't compos mentis."
In the action it was said the players offered her a lift home in a taxi, but the driver was requested to drop all three at the flat in Armadale.
A Plymouth Argyle spokesman said: "We note today's judgment from the Court of Session in Edinburgh regarding David Goodwillie.
"We await the full report, which we will consider in detail before making any comment.
"Until such time, David Goodwillie will not be selected to play for Plymouth Argyle."
The Crown Office said it stood by its previous decision not to prosecute the footballers.
A spokesman said: "As Lord Armstrong stated in his judgement, the standard of proof to be satisfied was that of the balance of probabilities which is a less onerous requirement than the standard in criminal cases, which is beyond reasonable doubt.
"Further, there is no requirement of corroboration in civil cases unlike in criminal cases.
"This case was looked at very carefully by Crown counsel who concluded that there was insufficient evidence in law to raise criminal proceedings. As a result no proceedings were instructed."
State broadcaster RTÉ has reported that gardaí (Irish police) are focusing on a gang linked to David Byrne who was shot dead at a boxing weigh-in event in February.
The raids were focused on financial activities and homes of known gang members, as well as accountants and solicitors offices are being searched.
The searches began at 07:00 local time.
The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) co-ordinated the operation and a total of 12 homes and six commercial properties were searched in the west of the city.
It is understood that more than 60 armed officers were involved in the operation, as well as officials from Customs and Revenue.
A total of 29 cars including Mercedes, Lexus, Jeeps, and other SUVs have been loaded onto trucks to be taken away.
Police said a number of items of jewellery "which are believed to be of considerable value" and more than €30,000 of cash (£23,268) have been seized.
The authorities are looking for evidence which will enable them to identify the proceeds of gang crime, such as cash, documents, computers and files.
In a statement, the Garda Siochána said: "The searches are being conducted as part of an on-going investigation into organised crime groups which has been under way for some considerable time. "
The 31-year-old previously spent nine years at Bootham Crescent and was named clubman of the year three times.
Amari Morgan-Smith has also joined the Minstermen on loan until May.
The 27-year-old forward, also at Cheltenham, has made 25 appearances for the League Two side this campaign, scoring twice.
Parslow helped York to the victory in the FA Trophy Final at Wembley and promotion to the EFL in May 2012.
He moved to Whaddon Road in 2015, playing 50 games as he helped them win the 2015-16 National League title.
His last appearance for Cheltenham was in a Boxing Day match against Barnet.

A project called Growing Up Digital spent a year looking into how children use the internet and whether you feel you know enough about the websites and apps you use.
It's been done by the Children's Commissioner for England, whose job it is to understand what children think about the things that affect them.
Her report found that kids are left to learn about the internet on their own and that it's not always easy to understand what happens to photos and information sent on social media. She also thinks that the rules you sign up to when you use apps are far too complicated to be understood.
The report says schools should give lessons to pupils on how to use social media, apps and websites safely, and teach them what their rights are. You've been telling Newsround what you think about this idea.
Ahead of the Autumn Statement - various scientific bodies, MPs and campaign groups have lobbied the government to ensure that the UK's world-leading research base is not overlooked when the Chancellor sets out the government's financial plans next week.
The UK receives £850m in research funds from the European Union each year. Full membership of one of the main EU funding programmes requires free movement of labour. British universities employ 30,000 scientists with EU citizenship.
There have already been reports of UK scientists losing out in EU grant applications and of EU citizens not taking up posts in UK universities because of the uncertainty around funding and the residency status of EU citizens following the referendum result in June.
On the plus side, within days of becoming Prime Minister, Theresa May wrote to senior scientists to say that she wanted to ensure a positive outcome for science in negotiations to leave the European Union.
A few weeks later, the Chancellor, Phillip Hammond, said that the government would underwrite EU research funds obtained before the UK leaves the EU.
So there is not much more the government could have done to reassure the scientific community in the early days following the referendum result.
But now, research leaders want the warm words of the summer turned into firm commitments as the autumn chill of an uncertain future sets in.
Their concern is not just about the money. Free movement enables UK institutions to attract the best scientists from Europe. And the EU research funding system - which requires full members to allow free movement - enables collaborations with researchers from some of the leading labs in Europe.
UK research is among the best in the world. Without the free movement of European scientists, the concern is that this great national resource, which enriches the country and benefits the economy, will slowly be diminished just as other nations are boosting their research efforts.
At a meeting of the Foundation for Science and Technology this week at the Royal Society, senior scientific leaders were advised against whinging.
The former science minister, Lord Willetts, was not quite that blunt as he tactfully told them that unless they were seen to adopt a more constructive approach they would be in danger of being regarded as a privileged elite, putting their own self-serving interest ahead of the wishes of many people in the country.
He gently urged them to be as smart with their lobbying as they are with their research and to play the government's game. As a first step, he said, the science community should make every effort to set up new collaborations with research groups outside Europe.
One of the government's top political priorities is to demonstrate that the country can thrive post-Brexit, so there is plenty of money and enthusiasm from ministers for projects with institutions in the US, China and Commonwealth countries.
Lord Willetts suggested that if researchers try their best to seize the new opportunities Brexit presents, two things might happen. First, they might be pleasantly surprised and get to be involved in some really good, well-funded science. Second, according to the wily Lord Willetts, they would receive a more sympathetic hearing from government for the concessions they are seeking over Brexit.
Chief among these is an exemption for researchers from restrictions on free movement - both from the EU and from other parts of the world. If the research leaders cannot get free movement for scientists then they will seek a simpler, faster and less bureaucratic visa system for them. And the university sector wants to take student numbers out of the immigration figures - because if foreign student numbers are cut, British universities receive less money.
But any relaxation on immigration would be at odds with the government's stated aim of reducing numbers.
One chink of hope for many in the scientific community is that the government's much heralded industrial strategy might come to their rescue. No-one knows quite what the strategy is - so at the moment it is whatever anyone wants it to be.
Scientific leaders want it to be something that provides the political cover for government to be more flexible on immigration and a means by which they can get a huge cash injection.
A vibrant research base, they are telling ministers, could be the engine to the high-tech, high-skills economy that Mrs May has said she wants post-Brexit Britain to be. It would also present the optimistic narrative the government is seeking.
So emboldened by the possibility of research being at the heart of the industrial strategy, four of the UK's national science academies and the Campaign for Science and Engineering (Case) called this week for the government and UK industry to make up for the possible loss of EU funding.
They also asked them to nearly double the amount of public and private money spent on research. The academies and Case want an increase from the current 1.7% of GDP to 3% by 2025. This would bring British R&D spending in line with Germany and increase the UK's annual combined public and private research spending from around £30.6bn to £52bn.
Such a boost in funding would be transformative, according to Naomi Weir of Case.
"It would boost confidence for inward investment, drive growth in the economy, see the creation of high-quality jobs and increase our capacity to tackle national and global challenges in health, energy and the environment," she said.
The research community hopes it will get an indication whether the big increases in funding are on the government's agenda in next week's Autumn Statement. But the chair of the House of Commons Science and Technology select committee, Stephen Metcalfe, said he was "not convinced" that the needs of universities and the research community were at the heart of thinking at the department for exiting the EU.
To make the future of UK science more of a priority, the research community has to do something it failed to do during the referendum campaign.
It needs to reach out to those who felt left behind by our membership of the EU and make the case that it is important to them and their children for the UK to continue to have a vibrant research base.

The Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) is a monthly survey of a panel of firms, tracking indicators such as new orders, employment and exports.
It had shown a fall in activity in July, the first month after the Brexit vote, but has now bounced back.
The survey also points to accelerating inflationary pressures.
This is due to increased import prices because of the fall in value of sterling.
The PMI is produced by Ulster Bank and its chief economist, Richard Ramsey, said that while the headline shows a return to growth there are also "notable weaknesses.'
He said "the two growing concerns are the surge in inflationary pressures and stagnation within the local services sector."
The services sector is the dominant part of Northern Ireland's economy.
The survey showed it had its first fall in employment levels in 39 months and also experienced a drop in new orders.
Mr Ramsey said the full effect of growing inflationary pressure will depend in part on firms' ability and appetite to absorb higher import costs.
But he warned consumers: "Price rises and a squeeze on disposable incomes is already in the pipeline.
"This will hit consumer spending and economic growth in the months ahead."
Villa supporters, angry at the running of their club, halted the match briefly in the 74th minute by throwing beach balls on to the pitch.
Aleksandar Mitrovic headed wide two good second-half chances for Newcastle.
Sunderland, who beat Chelsea, would relegate Rafael Benitez's side with victory over Everton on Wednesday.
Relive Aston Villa v Newcastle as it happened
Saturday's Premier League drama and reaction
Newcastle's last relegation from the Premier League, seven years ago, was confirmed with a soporific final-day defeat at Aston Villa.
Against opponents in turmoil off the pitch, and without a Premier League point since 6 February on it, Newcastle once again paid a heavy price for lacking adventure at Villa Park.
Benitez's side managed just one shot on target in a dreadful first half, as Papiss Cisse mis-hit a volley into the ground from Vurnon Anita's cross.
They showed a little more urgency in the second half, with Jack Colback firing over a good chance seconds after the the restart, but still not enough to merit a victory.
Mitrovic's introduction as a substitute for the ineffective Cisse saw the visitors begin to create more chances.
Having lobbed over when put through by Cheick Tiote's hooked pass, the Serbia striker headed wide when well placed, before missing the target again from Chancel Mbemba's delivery, while Georginio Wijnaldum's shot was beaten away by keeper Mark Bunn.
The result did extend Newcastle's unbeaten run to five matches, but they now need help from elsewhere to stand any chance of survival.
Aston Villa fans have become increasingly enraged during an embarrassing season, which has featured a series of protests at recent games.
Supporters registered their frustration this time by bringing hundreds of beach balls into Villa Park, and throwing them on to the field to disrupt play.
One first-half Newcastle attack took place with a giant inflatable football inside the six-yard box, but the main protest took place in the 74th minute, a time picked by fans because Villa were founded in 1874.
Amid the chaos, Villa did at least manage to avoid a 12th successive league defeat, which would have beaten the club record set in 1963, and equalled at Watford last weekend.
That they earned a point was thanks in part to Villa defender Ciaran Clark, who threw himself in the way of a late Wijnaldum shot to block.
The Premier League relegation battle is set for a fascinating finale over the next eight days, with former Liverpool manager Benitez now needing a huge favour from Everton.
Roberto Martinez's side can keep alive Newcastle's survival hopes on Wednesday by avoiding defeat at Sunderland, who will relish the opportunity to relegate their great rivals.
Sam Allardyce's team came from a goal down twice to beat Chelsea 3-2 and climb out of the bottom three - and, like relegation rivals Norwich, they have a game in hand on Newcastle.
It leaves the prospect of Benitez, a manager who began this season in charge of Real Madrid, starting next season in the Championship.
Aston Villa caretaker-manager Eric Black: "Last week, the performance at Watford merited more, but we built on that, worked tirelessly all afternoon and the supporters came with us. I thought the reaction was brilliant. The Villa fans have got a big part to play in getting this club back to the Premier League.

"It has been difficult to play in a relegation battle, but we have got some outstanding footballers and I thought we coped with them today."
Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez: "We are disappointed. Sunderland won, so all we can do now is wait for the score of their game on Wednesday and try to win our game.

"We were a little bit anxious in the first half. We were not comfortable in possession. You have to take your chances and we didn't do that.
"We had to change things in the second half. We did that, but it was not enough.."
Newcastle end their season at home to Tottenham on 15 May, the same day that Villa bow out of the Premier League at Arsenal.

Livermore, 27, joined Hull initially on loan in August 2013 and moves to the Baggies on a four-and-a-half year deal.
"Jake is a fantastic character and as a player is good enough on the ball but also possesses fantastic energy," said West Brom boss Tony Pulis.
West Brom have also enquired about Watford striker Odion Ighalo, 27.
Read more: Hull sign right-back on loan
Talks are only exploratory at this stage but Ighalo has fallen out of favour at Vicarage Road and is a player long admired by Baggies boss Tony Pulis.
The Nigeria international scored 17 goals in 42 games last season as Watford finished 13th in the top flight and reached the FA Cup semi-final. However, he has managed just two goals in 19 appearances so far this season.
Former Tottenham player Livermore is Pulis' first signing of the January transfer window after the club missed out on Morgan Schneiderlin, who joined Everton from Manchester United.
"I watched him a lot when he was at Tottenham and thought he would go on to establish himself as a top-six player," added Pulis, 59.
"Maybe he has just drifted away a little from that - although having said that two promotions and a Cup final with Hull should not be forgotten. But I believe this lad is a very, very good player."
Pulis' side are eighth in the Premier League ahead of a trip to Sunderland on Saturday. Hull sit 18th after beating Bournemouth in a first league win since November and travel to Chelsea on Sunday.

"This was always going to happen. Don't blame the umpires or the players... blame the ICC. It's an absolute disgrace. An absolute shambles. The final day of the Ashes has ended in a farce. Let's hope that finally those people in Dubai who run the game realise what a mess this is. It's NOT the umpires' fault."
Set a target of 227 by Michael Clarke's ambitious declaration, England needed 21 more from 24 balls with five wickets in hand when play was halted by the umpires at 7.36pm.
The Oval crowd, who had been treated to an incredible final day in which 447 runs were scored and 17 wickets fell, booed in disapproval before gathering to watch England captain Alastair Cook lift the Ashes urn following a 3-0 series win.
England, who have now won three Ashes series in a row for the first time since 1977-1981, celebrated with a lap of honour while fireworks blazed over the pavilion.
Cook said: "It would have been nice to finish with a win but the rules and regulations are there for a reason. The umpires have strict guidelines and, if it was day three, we would have gone off."
Such an absorbing and ultimately controversial conclusion to the series looked unlikely when England began the final day only four wickets down in their first innings.
1st Test: England won by 14 runs, Trent Bridge
2nd Test: England won by 347 runs, Lord's
3rd Test: Match drawn, Old Trafford
4th Test: England won by 74 runs, Chester-le-Street
5th Test: Match drawn, The Oval
But the hosts' aggressive approach on Sunday morning, and Australia's determination to give themselves a chance of a consolation victory, saw Clarke declare his side's second innings on 111-6 at tea and set England a tantalising target in 44 overs.
A partnership of 64 between Cook (34) and Jonathan Trott set England on course before a buccaneering 62 off 55 balls from Kevin Pietersen established the hosts as firm favourites.
After Trott (59) and Pietersen were dismissed in quick succession, Chris Woakes and Ian Bell kept up the pace, but with the light fading rapidly, Australia began to complain.
When Bell was run out by Mitchell Starc for 17, the umpires consulted their light meters, and took the unpopular decision to end the match, denying the full house the finale they desired.
Under International Cricket Council regulations, the umpires were obliged to take the players off once the light had faded to the same level it was when they had stopped play on Thursday evening.
The crowd subsequently jeered the umpires and Clarke during the post-match presentation before applauding Cook's triumphant team as they jogged around the floodlit outfield with flags draped around their shoulders.
Leading run-scorers
562 Ian Bell (Eng) - average 62.44
418 Shane Watson (Aus) - average 41.80
388 Kevin Pietersen (Eng) - average 38.80
381 Michael Clarke (Aus) - average 47.62
367 Chris Rogers (Aus) - average 40.77
Leading wicket-takers
26 Graeme Swann (Eng) - average 29.03
24 Ryan Harris (Aus) - average 19.58
22 Stuart Broad (Eng) - average 27.45
22 James Anderson (Eng) - average 29.59
17 Peter Siddle (Aus) - average 31.58
The victory margin was their biggest in the Ashes since they won 5-1 in 1978-79 and their best at home since their 3-0 win in 1977 - the last time Australia failed to win a single match against their fiercest rivals.
The result also means England move above India into second place in the ICC Test rankings, while Australia drop below Pakistan into fifth.
After widespread criticism of their obdurate batting on Friday, when they scored 215 runs in 98.3 overs, England set off in far more positive fashion as their final six wickets added 130 in 28.4.
Matt Prior made 47 - his highest score of the series - and Graeme Swann smashed 34 off 24 balls before he was the last man out to give debutant James Faulkner his fourth wicket.
If England's approach had been attacking, then Australia's was an all-out assault as they front-loaded their batting order with big-hitters and set out in pursuit of quick runs.

The result was 111 runs and six wickets in 23 riotous overs, with Stuart Broad taking 4-43 before Clarke, who top-scored with 28 not out, took the decision to declare.
England could easily have batted conservatively to guarantee they finished the series undefeated but they were positive from the outset and would surely have completed a 4-0 victory had the match not been brought to a premature, and farcical conclusion.
"This morning our job was to try and make it as difficult as possible to stop Australia from pushing on for a win and to make our chances of victory easier," added Cook.
"The crowds have been fantastic for all five Tests and I'm privileged to captain this group of guys. Winning this series is the proudest moment of my life."
Set against the backdrop of the Drumlanrig Castle Estate near Thornhill, the multi-stage event takes place on Saturday.
The line-up showcases both emerging and established Scottish talent.
King Creosote headlines a bill which features more than 30 artists ranging from hip-hop outfit Hector Bizerk to nine-piece ska collective, Esperanza.
There's also a strong local contingent including Finding Albert, Barstow Bats, Cammy Black and What About Wolves.
Waving rainbow flags, hundreds took the short march through empty streets.
Authorities had cancelled the event every year since marchers were attacked in 2010 - nine years after Gay Pride was first held in Belgrade.
Serbia is keen to show increasing tolerance as it seeks to join the EU, the BBC's Guy De Launey says.
Keeping Brussels happy is undoubtedly the motivation for allowing the Gay Pride march to go ahead, our correspondent in Belgrade says.
Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic had announced he would not attend the event due to prior engagements - but also made it clear he would not have gone even if he had been free.
Our correspondent says that reflects widespread feelings in Serbia.
The patriarch of the influential Orthodox Church has condemned the event.
Two-thirds of respondents to a survey four years ago said they viewed homosexuality as a disease.
But Sunday's march took place without incident, with marchers blowing whistles as a police helicopter flew over them.
Participants marched through the centre of the city to the National Assembly, where ambassadors from numerous European countries addressed the crowd.
"I feel phenomenal. Our efforts of the past three years have borne fruit," organiser Boban Stojanovic told Reuters news agency.
On Saturday evening, anti-gay rights campaigners demonstrated in the capital in anticipation of the Gay Pride march on Sunday.
But the influence of the far right has declined in recent years, our correspondent says, and several government ministers have spoken in favour of the march.
Earlier in September a German LGBT ( lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender) rights speaker was treated in hospital after being beaten in Belgrade.
In response to the attack, Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said: "We will not allow this kind of thing to remain unpunished."
The march in 2010 was the only gay pride parade to go ahead in the Serbian capital since 2001.
Labour says ministers are showing a "dangerous misunderstanding" of issues facing schools in England.
We spoke to parents and ex-pupils with strong opinions on both sides of the debate.
David Noble, 42, East Finchley, London
"I am a Conservative Party activist and married to a primary school teacher. I have two kids going to a new free school. I am very against opening new grammar schools.
"Education is paid for by the taxpayer and so should therefore be uniformly excellent in all state schools. With technology this may one day be achievable.
"Would anybody want a two-tier health service, police force or fire brigade? The answer is no. We should not have this in state education.
"Grammar schools benefit the middle and wealthy classes as those are the people who can pay for tutoring. This is a fact and it outrages me that some in the Conservative Party ignore this.
"I speak to some people who are massively pro-grammar schools purely from the perspective that they see it as saving £15,000 a year on private school education. They would throw the kitchen sink at their kids - by tutoring them - to get them to pass the 11-plus.
"The wealthy and middle classes already have private schools and a postcode lottery that works in their favour, so why give them a third option?
"A better model is streaming or a competitive environment in state comprehensive schools."
Scott Greenwood, 50, Greenwich, London
"The standard of non-grammars is not high enough. I agree that all schools should improve - but how long will that take? Should my son's education suffer whilst they try to sort out the problems?
"My son is 11 and has just started at a grammar school. He was lucky, he was able to take the 11-plus for a school in Kent as there aren't any in Greenwich.
"We did pay for extra tuition, but we also found the time to give him home tuition and installed a real work ethic into him. All the hard work he put in has paid off.
"And he was very keen to go to a grammar school even though most of his friends were going to a different school up the road.
"When we took him to see various schools, he could see the extra subjects and opportunities available at the grammar.
"If he went to a non-grammar he would be so far ahead of most of the other kids that the teachers wouldn't be able to give him the push he needs.
"If we educate all our children to mediocre standards then who will become a doctor, lawyer or a politician? They will only be fit to do menial jobs and not have the skills to become leaders or scientists and push the boundaries."
Maggie Craig, 60, Croydon, Surrey
"I am the middle child, my elder brother and younger sister passed their 11-plus. I failed and went to the comprehensive school.
"After that I felt like a failure. I felt like I was the stupid one in the family. At the time, the view in society was that if you didn't go to a grammar school you had to do the more menial jobs.
"When I left school I felt I had less options and of course I wasn't able to take the same exams as my siblings, doing CSEs instead of O-levels.
"I still had a good time at school and was top of my classes there. But my brother and sister had more chances to go abroad on school trips. I felt I was missing out.
"Later, after I was married and had children I did evening classes to better myself. I had been working in catering for many years but I wanted to get better work. After the classes I got a job in administration.
"It would be stupid to bring grammar schools back and make so many children feel like failures. You shouldn't have to take a test at the age of 11."
Denise Taylor, 72, Merseyside
"I attended a grammar school, I went to university, I became a teacher and then head teacher of a secondary school.
"My parents were very working class, we lived in a council house and we were poor - but they valued education and encouraged me to do well at school.
"At the grammar school there was a strong ethos of achievement and a work ethic which was not disturbed by poor behaviour and disruption of learning in lessons.
"This is the strength of grammar schools. Quite simply the children want to learn, they want work and they do achieve.
"Removal of this from poor working class children with ability has considerably reduced their chances of a good education.
"However, the downside of this for the children who do not secure a place - or who do not have the ability to do so - is unacceptable. Any increase in selection should be accompanied by appropriate support for the education of these children.
"The most important thing for a successful education is the support of parents for the school and the provision of classes with good behaviour and good teaching. This is what grammar schools provide."
Pauline Messenger, 67, Norfolk
"Living in Buckinghamshire, as I did then, my own daughter had access to the grammar school system.
"She attended a highly-respected local grammar, where she gained an excellent education, leading to further education opportunities at university.
"I attended a grammar school in Islington, London and my past experiences there recommended the whole grammar school ethos to me.
"Born into a poor locality, living in a council flat, my grammar school provided me with the opportunity to 'better' myself and have access to a better, greatly improved way of life and better career.
"I very much feel other children from similar backgrounds should have those opportunities.
"For those children with high ability, it is good for them to be in a class along with others possessing equal learning ability because everyone then moves along at the same pace and no-one is held back."

But George Nobbs, Labour leader of Norfolk County Council, leading the campaign, has admitted that the proposals are "flawed".
The mayor would look after transport, strategic planning and skills training in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
MPs and other councils in the three counties have criticised plans.
Mr Nobbs said: "There are lots of things to be said for this scheme, and lots of things to be said against it."
Liberal Democrat Group leader Marie Strong questioned the need for a directly-elected mayor.
"We were told the role of mayor was optional; when did it become compulsory?" she asked.
Mr Nobbs replied: "We were told by ministers it's that or nothing."
Conservative group leader Cliff Jordan said the plans so far had generated "a lot of confusion".
The plan is for the mayor to be chosen by voters in the three counties in May next year. He or she will have the power to increase business rates to fund infrastructure projects.
The mayor will be answerable to a cabinet made up of nominees from the 23 local councils.
Some Conservative MPs from the region have said the idea of an elected mayor is not popular with many people, while others said the money on offer - £1bn over 30 years - is "not much".
The Department for Communities and Local Government said: "We are committed to the deal and will continue to work with all the councils. Councils in East Anglia have until June to decide if they want to take part in this historic opportunity."
The 70-7 vote in favour of proceeding with negotiations over devolution masks the fact that nearly every councillor who spoke expressed serious reservations about the plans for a combined authority and directly-elected mayor for Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
"I don't believe an elected mayor is good for Norfolk; I don't believe it's what people want," said Conservative councillor Bill Borrett.
"We were told that the Mayor was optional; when did it become compulsory," asked Marie Strong, the leader of the Liberal Democrat group.
"Why can't we have a referendum, why can't the people of Norfolk vote if they want a mayor or not?" asked UKIP councillor Colin Aldred.
Labour's George Nobbs replied that ministers had made it clear, it was a mayor or no deal.
Mr Nobbs admitted he was doing his best "to sell a pig's ear". "These plans are flawed and they are far from perfect," he said.
He believes that with the extra money and powers on offer, it is worth continuing with the negotiations.
The only councillor in favour was Labour's Mick Castle who said people in London had been suspicious of a mayor but had come round to the idea.
Norfolk joins Cambridgeshire County Council in making it very clear that it is not happy with the deal currently on offer. The negotiations will continue but with the government wanting this to be agreed by all 23 councils by the end of June, there is not very long to go.
East Anglian devolution looks far from certain.
The country was declared free of the virus on 7 November, and the region as a whole was cleared when Liberia was pronounced Ebola-free on Thursday.
Tests on a person who died in northern Sierra Leone proved positive, an Ebola test centre spokesman told the BBC.
The WHO has warned, however, that more flare-ups are expected.
How Ebola changed the world
Mapping Ebola
The Sierra Leone death occurred earlier this week.
Ebola test centre spokesman Sidi Yahya Tunis told the BBC that the patient had died in the Tonkolili district. He had travelled there from Kambia, close to the border with Guinea.
The tests were conducted by British health experts. The BBC's Umaru Fofana in the capital Freetown said health officials were now urgently seeking those who had come into contact with the victim.
Close to 4,000 people have died of Ebola in Sierra Leone, and 11,000 people across the region, since December 2013.
Liberia was the last country to see the end of active transmission of Ebola. But it had been declared clear twice before, only for the infection to re-emerge.
A country is considered free of human-to-human transmission once two 21-day incubation periods have passed since the last known case tested negative for a second time.

Organisers want more police presence in Levenshulme, Manchester, following the attack on the 31-year-old at Cringle Park shortly before midday on Monday.
The march followed a similar event in the area after a 12-year-old girl was raped in a nearby park in September.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said it had "increased patrols in the area" and was "doing everything in our power" to find Monday's attacker.
However Pauline Johnston, from the Love Levenshulme community group, said: "I don't think what they've done has been sufficient at all."
"We want patrols to be stepped up day in and day out, not just reactively."
One marcher said: "We work really hard to make it a beautiful place for everybody to share and we won't have people frightened out of it."
Another participant commented: "I don't think anyone should be scared to walk through their own park, especially in broad daylight."

Zakaria Bulhan, of south-west London, has been charged with the murder of Darlene Horton, 64, and the attempted murder of five other people.
Two women and three men were injured in the attack on Wednesday.
Mr Bulhan - a Norwegian national of Somali origin - appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
He appeared without legal representation and sat hunched throughout the short hearing with his hand over his mouth.
As the names of the victims were read out in court he held his face in his hands.
When asked if he understood the charges, he nodded giving the judge a thumbs-up gesture.
Mrs Horton had been visiting London with her husband Richard Wagner, who was teaching summer classes.
Florida State University said the couple had planned to return to their home in Tallahassee on Thursday - the day after the attack.
The university's president, John Thrasher, said "there are no words to express our heartache".
A British man who suffered a stab wound to his stomach in the attack remains in hospital in a "serious but stable" condition.
An American man, an Australian man, an Australian woman and an Israeli woman were all discharged from hospital on Thursday, following treatment for their injuries.
Mr Bulhan was remanded in custody until 9 August.
Lock Iain Henderson and winger Craig Gilroy scored the tries for the win which effectively ends any hope Leinster had of making the play-offs.
Leinster had made a superb start with a Ben Te'o try helping them go 10-0 up in the seventh minute.
But they did not score again and Ulster went on to beat their Irish rivals for the first time in four attempts.
The result puts Ulster at the top of the table, at least overnight, and means Leinster's season is effectively over.
It had all started so well for Leinster as they pushed deep into Ulster territory and benefitted from an early penalty strike from Jimmy Gopperth.
After six minutes, things got even better for the visitors as they sought to rescue their already fragile-looking play-off hopes, when Te'o smashed through some weak tackling to score. Gopperth added the extras and Leinster were 10-0 up and looking comfortable.
Ulster needed to respond and they got over the line with Henderson. Ruan Pienaar converted his 12th-minute effort and then added a penalty shortly afterwards to tie the scores.
There then followed a moment of controversy after Henderson was tip-tackled by Sean O'Brien with referee John Lacey and the television match official opting for a yellow card for the Ireland flanker instead of the red one the home crowed were baying for.
Ulster, though, failed to score during O'Brien's absence, but did take the lead just before half-time through another Pienaar penalty.
Midway through the second half, Rob Kearney was sin-binned, giving Pienaar a 63rd-minute penalty which he duly slotted to stretch the lead to 16-10.
Three minutes later the South African nailed a monster effort from just inside Leinster's half and the home side now had a nine-point lead.
Leinster's dismal night was completed with eight minutes remaining when a huge Ulster power play off a scrum on Leinster's line ultimately saw Gilroy dance through for his 11th Pro12 try of the season.
Pienaar converted to make it 26-10 and the game ended with 14-man Ulster - replacement prop Andy Warwick had been binned - defending their line as if their lives depended on it.

Jeanette Manfra of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refused to identify the states during her testimony before a Senate panel, citing confidentiality agreements.
But she added there was no evidence to suggest actual vote ballots were altered in the election hack.
US intelligence agencies believe Moscow interfered to help Donald Trump win.
Ms Manfra, the department's acting deputy undersecretary of cyber security, testified on Wednesday before the Senate Intelligence committee, which is investigating Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 election.
"As of right now, we have evidence that election-related systems in 21 states were targeted," she told the panel.
She said DHS still had confidence in the US voting system because they are "fundamentally resilient".
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied any involvement in election cyber hacks while Mr Trump has dismissed allegations that his campaign colluded with Russia as "fake news".
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday refused to say whether Mr Trump believes Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
"I have not sat down and talked to him about that specific thing," Mr Spicer said during a daily news briefing.
"Obviously we've been dealing with a lot of other issues today. I'd be glad to touch base."
Senator Mark Warner, a top Democrat on the panel, argued on Wednesday the country was "not any safer" in concealing which states were hit in the hack.
Both Arizona and Illinois last year confirmed that their voter registration systems had been attacked by hackers.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio also expressed concern, adding that as the investigation continues "it is important Americans understand how our voting systems work and communicate that in real time".
Ms Manfra's comments echoed earlier testimony by Samuel Liles, acting director of the DHS cyber division.
Mr Liles told Congress DHS detected hacking activities last spring and summer and later received reports of cyber probing of election systems.
But he added: "None of these systems were involved in vote tallying."
Mr Liles also said "a small number of networks were exploited - they made it through the door."
Supporters heading towards the Etihad Stadium before Manchester City's Premier League game against Tottenham on Saturday were heard chanting the abuse on a tram.
The chants were apparently directed at Spurs supporters.
Officers said they were treating the chanting, footage of which has been widely shared online, as a hate crime.
Among the chants, a group of men are heard singing about gas chambers in a reference to the Holocaust.
Supt Steve Howard said: "Greater Manchester Police have been made aware of a video showing people chanting anti-Semitic songs.
"This has yet to be formally reported to police, however we have now launched an investigation and we are treating this as a hate crime.
"We would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or has video footage to contact police as soon as possible.
"There is no place in society for such abhorrent behaviour."
Most Tottenham fans are not Jewish, but the club has a historical association with London's Jewish community.
The Equalities Act would also be reformed to tackle discrimination against people with mental health problems, the party has pledged.
The party is also promising 10,000 more staff working in NHS mental health treatment by 2020.
Labour said the Tories appeared to be offering no extra funding.
The Conservatives say the plans are motivated by the concern that "vulnerable people are being subject to detention, including in police cells, unnecessarily" as numbers of people detained or "sectioned" under the Mental Health Act have risen.
The charity Mind has previously called for a review of the Act, which allows people with mental health problems to be detained for treatment against their will.

Lib Dems pledge winter fuel cuts to protect pensions
People detained under section two of the Act cannot refuse hospital treatment - although some forms of treatment can be given only with a patient's consent - and can be held for up to 28 days.
Paul Farmer, Mind's chief executive said: "One in four of us will experience a mental health problem each year, so every parliamentary candidate from every party needs to accept and embrace mental health as a key issue for their constituency."
The charity said a rising number of detentions under the Act could be sign of growing pressure on mental health services.
Labour accused the Tory government of failing mental health patients.
Shadow mental health minister Barbara Keeley said: "The Tories have not delivered on their promise to give mental health the same priority as physical health.
"They appear to be offering no extra funding and have consistently raided mental health budgets over the last seven years.
"Warm words from the Tories will not help to tackle the injustice of unequal treatment in mental health."

Prime Minister Theresa May said: "On my first day in Downing Street last July, I described shortfalls in mental health services as one of the burning injustices in our country.
"Today I am pledging to rip up the 1983 Act and introduce in its place a new law which finally confronts the discrimination and unnecessary detention that takes place too often."
The plans would also see all primary and secondary schools in England and Wales provided with mental health first aid training for staff.
Large organisations would be required to have mental health first aid-trained staff on hand, in addition to the current requirement for physical health first aid training.
Liberal Democrat health spokesman, and former health minister, Norman Lamb said: "I proposed reforms to the Mental Health Act in a Green Paper in March 2015.
"It was designed to give new rights to people. The Conservatives have sat on it for two years, so forgive me if I have little faith in their desire to reform."
He added: "The Conservatives have set themselves against any tax rise so the promise to employ 10,000 additional staff is based on thin air."
The Conservative Party said "funding for mental health services is currently at record levels - and up by £1.4 billion in real terms by 2020."
The two talked on their arrival in Monaco on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's race and Hamilton said the incident was in the past.
"It's fine," said Hamilton. "In the past, there would have been tension but there was just pure respect.
"I said, 'I still have all the respect for you,' and he said the same."
Hamilton added: "It doesn't change anything about how we approach racing."
BBC Radio 5 live In Short: Me & Rosberg are cool - Hamilton
That is a change from the aftermath of previous incidents between the two, after which there has been lingering bad feeling.
Asked why it was different now, Hamilton said: "It is always good to discuss things. As a team we did, in Barcelona and then at the factory I guess individually, and then Nico and I spoke just now.
"But I didn't feel we had to, because there is no issue. we just move on, there is nothing you can do about the past."
He added: "We didn't talk through the incident. We don't need to. We know what happened. We experienced it. We know how we felt about it before.
"We are not like the more emotional beings on the planet who talk about things, we don't do that.
"We arrived very cool and chilled and spoke. All we need to know is the respect is still there and we are going to keep racing. And that's all we had to say.
"We have a long career left with racing with another. You have to assume there is going to be more but we are competitors and we're racing.
"There are going to be lots of close encounters and we are just going to try our best that affects our results. Every scenario is different. This is the one we are faced with now. We are getting past it in a positive manner."
In contrast, Rosberg refused to say whether he and Hamilton had discussed the incident and its aftermath.
"If we have spoken or not, that needs to be kept internal," he said. "But it is a thing of the past now.
"I am going to take the same approach as always and do what's necessary to try to win this grand prix, which is what I have come here to do."
Hamilton is 43 points behind Rosberg heading into the Monaco weekend after a difficult start to the season, and has not won a race since he clinched the title at the US Grand Prix last October.
He said: "If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, there will be many more opportunities. There are opportunities still there.
"There are still 16 races and you have to look at that. The glass, rather than it being half full is 10% full. And there is still the rest of that to fill up."

Kim Davis has said that her Christian faith should exempt her from signing the licenses.
The US Supreme Court declared gay marriage legal in June.
After interviewing her fellow clerks, the judge said Ms Davis could go free if she allowed her deputies to grant the licences, but Davis refused.
Ms Davis, an elected official in Rowan County, has said the Supreme Court's ruling conflicts with her beliefs as a born-again Christian.
"You can't be separated from something that's in your heart in your soul," Ms Davis said. "I promised to love Him with all my heart, mind and soul because I wanted to make heaven my home."
US District Judge David Bunning said he had "no alternative" but to jail her, because issuing fines would not change her mind.
"Her good faith belief is simply not a viable defence," said Mr Bunning. "Mrs Davis took an oath. Oaths mean things."
He added that letting one person's beliefs supersede the authority of the court would be a dangerous example to set.
Ms Davis' lawyer, Mat Staver, said: "The judge said that he's going to bring her back out in another week and see if she's changed her mind. But knowing Kim Davis, she's a woman of strong conviction and conscience and I don't see her changing her mind."
Ms Davis' lawyer had claimed that her deputy clerks could only issues licenses under Davis' authority, but the judge overruled that objection.
Five deputy clerks told the judge on Thursday they would comply with the court order. A sixth deputy clerk, Ms Davis' son, Nathan, refused.
The judge decided not to hold Nathan Davis in contempt of court.
Hundreds of protesters lined up outside of the federal courthouse on Thursday, chanting and waving signs both of support and opposition.
Local reporters tweeted photos of the two different camps in close quarters outside of the courthouse.
Protesters screamed "Love won! Love won!" outside of the courthouse after learning of the decision.
Ms Davis stopped issuing marriage licenses to all couples in June after the legalisation of gay marriage, turning couples away repeatedly.
The US Supreme Court on Monday rejected the argument that her faith prevented her from carrying out her duty.
"I have no animosity toward anyone and harbour no ill will. To me this has never been a gay or lesbian issue. It is about marriage and God's word," she said in a statement.
She can only be removed from her position if the Kentucky legislature impeaches her because she is an elected official.
Various 2016 Republican presidential candidates, like Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Marco Rubio, have come out in support of Ms Davis' decisions.
Others like Carly Fiorina, Senator Lindsey Graham and Ohio Governor John Kasich have said she must do her job and comply with the law.

The CCTV film, taken from the train near Downhill Strand, shows a beach lifeguard waving to the train to warn the driver about the two pedestrians.
The footage shows the pair running from the train. They were not hit and only received some scratches in the incident.
Translink, which operates buses and trains in Northern Ireland, released the July 2015 footage as part of a campaign to raise awareness over the risk of trespassing onto rail tracks.
It said there were other near misses in September, including one involving a young person near Jordanstown, County Antrim.
The company said there were 304 incidents of trespassing on tracks between April and the end of August this year.
Hotspots included areas near Whiteabbey, Antrim and Finaghy.
It said one incident involved three young people "playing chicken on the tracks" at Dunmurry, near Belfast.
"Our trains travel at speeds of up to 90mph and if a driver has to apply the emergency brakes, it will take two-thirds of a mile for the train to stop," said Mark Atkinson, Translink's chief engineer.
"In other words, not even the fastest athlete on the planet could outrun a train."
Walters, 32, sat out training on Wednesday having limped out of Monday's opening draw against Sweden as his recent Achilles problem returned.
The Republic face Belgium in their next Group E game in Bordeaux on Saturday and play Italy in Lille on 22 June.
"He thinks he is going to be able to make the Italian game," O'Neill said.
Walters, the current Republic player of the year, was the only absentee from Wednesday morning's session at the squad's training base in Versailles.
When asked afterwards if Walters had a chance of playing against Belgium, O'Neill admitted: "he is going to be struggling".
"If the game was tomorrow, he wouldn't make it.
"There would have to be a lot of improvement for him to make it.
"We can play without Jon.
"He's been influential in our games, he has probably been our talisman, but if he's not fit we've got a number of players who can step in and do really well for us."
Walters was replaced by James McClean in the 63rd minute, who would be the obvious choice to come into the starting line-up in Bordeaux, if the Stoke City man is ruled out.

O'Neill was upbeat about the team's prospects against Belgium, ranked number two in the world, in the wake of an encouraging performance against Sweden in the Stade de France.
Wes Hoolahan's opener for the Irish was cancelled out by a Ciaran Clark own goal but the manager has taken the positives from the 1-1 draw.
"If that performance doesn't lift you, nothing will.
"We will have to show the same attitude again, go and compete and be strong on the ball."

First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson, and their Labour, Green and Liberal Democrat counterparts all voiced their support for a law change.
Their calls come ahead of a major gay rights rally in Belfast on Saturday.
Northern Ireland is the only part of the British Isles where same-sex marriage is outlawed.
The issue has long been a divisive one, with attempts to introduce it having been blocked by the largest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
The party rejects claims that it is homophobic, and has said it is protecting the "traditional" definition of marriage.
The matter has become a sticking point in talks between the DUP and Sinn Féin aimed at restoring power-sharing at Stormont.
Earlier this week, celebrities, including actor Liam Neeson and TV presenter Graham Norton, added their backing to the same-sex marriage campaign.
A bill to allow same-sex marriages in Scotland was overwhelmingly approved by the region's parliament in 2014, and the heads of its five main parties have now said the same measure should be introduced in Northern Ireland.
Ms Sturgeon said she was proud to have supported same-sex marriage in Scotland and was "thrilled to see the positive reaction" to it.
"The debate over equal marriage in Scotland did more than just simply allow people to marry," she said.
"It also helped to challenge negative attitudes that still exist today in our society towards LGBTI people and show, quite simply, that same-sex couples are just as valued as opposite sex couples."
Ms Davidson said she was "optimistic this is a battle that can be won".
"Equal marriage isn't about one religion or country or community - it's much simpler than that," the Scottish Tory leader said.
"At its heart, equal marriage is about the people of Northern Ireland being afforded the same rights as everybody else.
"Change is coming. And it's a change for the better."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said that the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Scotland, England, Wales and the Republic of Ireland has been "liberating and encouraging".
The debate on the matter in Northern Ireland should be "conducted courteously", Ms Dugdale said, adding: "It's time for LGBT people across the whole of the UK to enjoy the right to marry who they want."
Patrick Harvie, the co-convener of the Scottish Green Party, said gay rights campaigners would not "accept that the prejudice of the DUP will never be overcome".
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said the "world has not collapsed" since gay marriages first took place in Scotland.
The leaders' statements were released by the human rights organisation Amnesty International, which is campaigning for gay rights in Northern Ireland.
The oil giant lodged plans to decommission the Brent field with the UK government in February.
It wants to leave the legs of three of the platforms in place rather than removing them, which Shell has described as the safest option.
Environmentalists say the plans are not detailed enough to justify the move.
Each of the platform legs are made of concrete and steel and weigh about 300,000 tonnes.
Brent is iconic because it lends its name to the benchmark of the North Sea, Brent Crude.
WWF, Greenpeace UK, the Marine Conservation Society, Friends of the Earth Scotland, International Environmental Organisation Kimo, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, the Scottish Wildlife Trust, and RSPB Scotland have joined forces to reject the plan.
WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: "Despite some 3,000 pages of documents, it has not been possible to come to a view on Shell's decommissioning proposal due to insufficient information being provided by the company across several key areas.
"The internationally-agreed Ospar rules set out very clear criteria and procedures for operators to follow in carrying out such assessments, but we do not believe they have been adhered to with regard to disposing of the Brent platforms.
"The material presented by Shell cannot be clearly cross-referenced to the Ospar requirements meaning we cannot assess whether or not there is a solid case for the derogations sought.
"We are therefore left with no choice but to reject Shell's plans in their current state and have asked for key further information to adequately assess their proposals."
Shell doesn't want a repeat of Brent Spar.
When it proposed sinking the oil storage installation at sea in 1995, it prompted direct action by Greenpeace.
Greenpeace UK chief scientist Dr Doug Parr said: "The plans in their current form don't allow international law to be upheld, because it's not possible for regulators to really understand what the proposition is.
"We don't think they have explored options fully, we don't think they have justified the options we want to carry through and we think they should go back and properly do their homework.
"We won't rule in or out taking direct action on this or frankly any other campaign because we don't talk about our campaign plans in detail in advance. What I can say is that we are going to continue to monitor and to watch and make sure international law is upheld and Shell does the right thing in doing so."
A 60-day consultation on Shells decommissioning programme for the Brent field has now closed.
A Shell spokesman Shell said: "Shell welcomes the feedback, which has been received from stakeholders and members of the public during the 60-day public consultation period for the Brent field.
"The consultation concludes today and, over the coming weeks, we will continue to review and respond to the comments received.
Government ministers will now decide whether to accept the plans.
A spokeswoman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said: "Any decommissioning plan will be carefully considered by the government, taking into account environmental, safety and cost implications, the impact on other users of the sea and a public consultation."
Its Football Money League, based on season 2014-15, also said the combined revenues of the 20 clubs had risen 8% to €6.6bn (£5.1bn), a new record.
Real's arch-rivals Barcelona rose two places to second on the list, pushing Manchester United down to third.
Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich completed the top five.
Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool occupied places six to nine, all of them notching up healthy increases in revenues.
Tottenham were in 12th spot, with Newcastle United and Everton at 17th and 18th.
Meanwhile, West Ham was a new entrant at number 20, making the top 20 for the first time since 2005-06.
The list only looks at revenues accrued and does not take into account club debts.
All the 20 clubs represented are from the "big five" European leagues, with Italy contributing four clubs, Germany three, Spain three and France one.
Real Madrid saw revenues of €577m (£439m, at average exchange rate for the year ending 30 June 2015).
The club saw revenue growth of €27.5m, including an increase of €22.7m in commercial revenues from the previous season.
Other findings include:
Although Manchester United fell one place, they remain the highest-grossing Premier League club, earning €519.5m (£395.2m).
"Despite a reduction in revenue year-on-year, the fact that Manchester United remain in the top three of the Money League demonstrates the underlying strength of the club's business model," said Tim Bridge, senior manager at Deloitte.
"The return to Champions League football, as well as the commencement of a number of significant commercial partnerships, will only strengthen the business in 2015-16.
"With this in mind, it would not be surprising to see United top next year's Money League for the first time in 12 years, with the club forecasting revenues of around £500m (around €650m)."

Once again, the list was drawn from England's Premier League, Germany's Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A, Spain's La Liga and France's Ligue 1.
"The 2014-15 Money League has been another year of growth for the big five European leagues," said Dan Jones, partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte.
"However, we have also seen a slowdown of growth from the top five clubs, with revenues growing by just 4% year on year, compared to 11% in the previous edition.
"It may be hard for new clubs to break into the top 10 in the short term, given the €43.3m revenue gap between 10th and 11th place."
It is thought to be the first time a judge has implemented a 2008 law under which perpetrators of "terrorist activities" can lose their citizenship.
Alla Zayoud, from northern Israel, was convicted of four counts of attempted murder for the attack in October 2015.
Israeli civil rights groups said the ruling set "a dangerous precedent".
In his decision, Judge Avraham Elyakim of Haifa district court said victims' right to life took precedence over "those who choose to violate the trust of the state of Israel and carry out acts of terrorism in its territory".
Interior Minister Arieh Deri had filed the request to revoke Zayoud's citizenship in 2016. Zayoud has the right to appeal.
Zayoud, who comes from the town of Umm al-Fahm, is serving a 25-year sentence for the attack in which he drove his car into a group of soldiers and then started stabbing people.
It was one of the first such incidents in what has become a wave of so-called "lone wolf" attacks on Israelis predominantly by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs since October 2015.
The court's ruling was condemned by rights groups.
"The decision to revoke Mr Zayoud's residence would render him stateless, in violation of Israel's obligations under international human rights law," said Sari Bashi of Human Rights watch.
"Citizenship is a precondition for a host of other rights, including the right to political participation and social and economic rights."
The removal of citizenship for terrorism had been applied by Israel in rare instances prior to the 2008 law but the latest case could pave the way for similar rulings in the future, local media said.
In an emergency statement at Holyrood, he apologised to rail passengers who have been affected by disruption.
It came on the day commuters faced severe disruption after overhead wiring problems affected services in Glasgow.
ScotRail declared a major incident after finding a broken insulator between Partick and Glasgow Central.
The rail operator said the issue caused disruption and cancellations between Glasgow Central and Dalmuir, Milngavie and Maryhill.
There has been widespread criticism of the reliability of ScotRail trains since Abellio took over the franchise.
Abellio has said the terms of the contract meant government ministers were responsible for overcrowding on the network.
In the Scottish Parliament, Mr Yousaf admitted that ScotRail's performance was not "up to scratch" but he said it was higher than the UK average.
He also outlined a series of actions and investments Scotrail will make.
They include an earlier commuter service between Inverness and the central belt, which will begin in mid-December, and the addition of carriages to peak services on the Borders Railway in a bid to reduce overcrowding.
The minister said: "Everyone rightly expects a railway network that operates effectively. So when things go wrong I fully understand the dissatisfaction of passengers and the inconvenience that is caused.
"Although there are no guarantees major failures won't happen, I give my reassurance that ScotRail has learned lessons and is far better prepared for contingencies, including communication with passengers, when such incidents do take place."
He added: "I know about the work that is required and the service that is to be delivered. I am taking action and a plan is now in place. This government has a track record of delivering for our railways and it is my firm intention that we will continue to do so."
In his statement, Mr Yousaf also highlighted:
ScotRail was ordered to produce a performance improvement plan in September after punctuality and reliability fell below the expected standard.
At Holyrood, the minister faced calls to publish the plan in full from Liberal Democrat Mike Rumbles.
Mr Yousaf agreed to speak to ScotRail about its publication in the interests of "accountability and transparency".
Scottish Labour's transport spokesman Neil Bibby said the rail service has become worse since the improvement plan was demanded.
He added: "His handling of the rail crisis has seen him fall out with Abellio, Network Rail and the transport unions.
"Humza Yousaf claims he's not a transport expert - and he's right. Humza Yousaf must ditch the spin and publish his 246 point improvement plan in full."
Murdo Fraser, of the Scottish Conservatives, said it was time the government started taking responsibility for the railways' poor performance.
The latest performance data showed 86% of ScotRail trains were on time or less than five minutes late between 16 October and 12 November, with wide variations in reliability across the country.
ScotRail's figures remained better than the average for all UK train operators - with the company also enjoying better than average customer satisfaction figures when the latest data was published earlier this year.
But Abellio's contract to run the ScotRail franchise requires the company to ensure 91.3% of trains arrive within five minutes of schedule.
The Scottish government can cancel the contract if performance drops to 84.3% for three months in a row.
It will see French firm Total take control Denmark's Maersk's assets in the UK sector of the North Sea, including the Culzean gas field.
Total said an "exceptional overlap" of businesses would increase its competitiveness through growing assets and annual cost-savings.
The deal will require the approval of regulators.
Total chairman and chief executive Patrick Pouyanne said: "The combination of Maersk Oil's North Western Europe businesses with our existing portfolio will position Total as the second operator in the North Sea with strong production profiles in UK, Norway and Denmark."
Oceanic Properties wants to build the manufacturing plant on the former Vosper Thornycroft shipyard site at Woolston, Southampton.
The site, next to the 1,600-home Centenary Quay development, would see wind turbine blades made within the building, then loaded on to ships.
Southampton City Council approved the application at a meeting on Tuesday.
The proposed 13m (42.6ft) tall 3,147 sq m building would be used for manufacturing 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Under the plans the site's external yard and its cranes can also be used between 07:00 and 19:00, seven days a week and up to 23:00 for some works.
The site's proposed working hours raised concerns from residents about noise.
Dr Ian White, who lives across the water from the site in Ocean Village, said residents could face "enormous disruption on the noise issue".
Robert Sanders director of Blade Dynamics, which is earmarked to move into the the plant, said: "Most of the time the activities will be inside with the doors closed and are generally quiet, residents outside would not generally notice us."
The proposals include a 3m-high acoustic fence along Keswick Road to reduce noise from the site.
The announcement follows reports that Paddington author Michael Bond, 88, was "totally amazed" at the BBFC's advice.
After an approach from the film's distributor the BBFC altered the term "mild sex references" to "innuendo".
The film, out in the UK on 28 November, is rated a PG.
Ben Whishaw voices the marmalade-loving bear from Darkest Peru in the live-action film, which also stars Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Peter Capaldi and Nicole Kidman as a villainous taxidermist.
Bonneville, who plays Mr Brown, told the BBC on Tuesday that he thought it "hilarious" that the BBFC had mentioned "mild sex references" in relation to a scene in which he disguises himself as a cleaning woman and is flirted with by a security guard.
"I was scratching my head thinking 'what are the censors talking about?" he said. "There were four and five year olds watching it the other day laughing uproariously, so I don't think it's going to damage any young children - or indeed any 75 year olds."
The film's director Paul King said he had expected the BBFC to issue a PG rating.
"I'm not surprised about that but I don't think it's a PG for sexiness. That I would find very odd," he said.
On Monday, the BBFC classified Paddington a PG with advice the film contained "dangerous behaviour, mild threat, mild sex references, [and] mild bad language".
When the decision was published, the film's distributor requested a reconsideration of the description "mild sex references" and more clarity to the frequency of mild bad language.
The BBFC said on Tuesday it had revised its wording to "dangerous behaviour, mild threat, innuendo, [and] infrequent mild bad language."
It said the mild innuendo included "a comic sequence in which a man disguised as a woman is flirted with by another man". On the language issue it refers to "a single mumbled use of 'bloody'."
Michael Bond, who has a cameo appearance in the film, had earlier told the Daily Mail: "I can't imagine what the sex references are. It doesn't enter into it with the books, certainly."
Bond's Paddington books have sold 35 million copies worldwide since they were first published in 1958.
John McCafferty, 73, died on Tuesday, 33 years after his operation.
Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub performed Mr McCafferty's transplant at Harefield Hospital, west London, on 20 October 1982.
Sir Magdi said surgeons did not know at the time "how long patients [could] survive after transplantation".
Live: Heart transplant patient wanted to be an 'inspiration'
Mr McCafferty lived in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, but was originally from Shotts in North Lanarkshire.
He had been diagnosed at 39 with dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle.
He was told he had five years to live when he received the transplant.
But in 2013 he was recognised as the world's longest surviving heart transplant patient by Guinness World Records.
Sir Magdi said the five-year prognosis had been estimated.
"John showed quite clearly that people can survive in excess of 30 years... so that's remarkable," Sir Magdi said.
"It shows how transplantation can give life and that's entirely due to the generosity of the British public, the donor family that is."
The British Heart Foundation said more than three-quarters of heart transplant patients lived for more than five years.
Mr McCafferty's widow Ann said the years they had together after his heart transplant were "brilliant".
But she said: "He was in pain for the last three years of his life and was taken to hospital in Milton Keynes on 27 January. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to return home."

Judges said German company TUV Rheinland, which certified the implants, must pay 3,000 euros (£2,470) in interim damages to each claimant.
Last year, the firm was found jointly liable with France's PIP (Poly Implant Prothese) over the global health scare.
The scandal broke in 2010 after many of the implants ruptured.
Jean-Claude Mas, the founder of PIP, was handed a four-year jail sentence and fined 75,000 euros in December.
Q&A: Breast implants health scare
The court ruled that his company had used sub-standard silicone gel - rather than medical-grade silicone - causing many of the implants to split.
Apart from Mas, four other former PIP executives were convicted and given lesser sentences, in one of the biggest trials in French legal history.
Throughout his hearing, Mas had denied the silicone used was harmful, while all but one of the other defendants said they had not been aware of the risks.
Tuesday's ruling will be significant for thousands of women worldwide who cannot afford to have their PIP implants removed, the BBC's Christian Fraser reports.
TUV had appealed against having to pay interim damages to victims, until its appeal against the ruling that it shared responsibility with PIP was heard later this year.
Last year, six implant distributors and 1,700 women brought a class action against TUV Rheinland, arguing that anything but a cursory inspection would have found problems.
TUV Rheinland rejected the ruling on the grounds that it was itself a victim of fraud.
If TUV Rheinland loses its appeal later in the year, as many as 400,000 women worldwide could join the case.
Lawyers are seeking a total compensation of 16,000 euros per victim, opening the company to a potential bill of some 6bn euros.
The health scare came to public attention when the French government recommended that women have PIP implants removed due to an abnormally high rupture rate.
There was confusion as British health authorities said there was no need for routine removal. However, they later agreed to remove the implants to put women's minds at rest.
France's Health Products Agency (ANSM) has to date registered more than 7,500 implant ruptures and 3,000 cases of undesirable effects, mainly inflammations, among the 30,000 women using PIP products in France.
In a report released last June, the ANSM said such incidents tended to be under-reported, and so "the number of women actually explanted may be greater than the number of cases reported to the agency".
When an implant ruptures, the silicone gel filling can leak into the body. Some women will not notice anything at all, and there is no evidence of an increased cancer risk.
He had been in a coma since Sunday after being admitted to the cardiac surgery unit of a hospital in Rome, according to the reports.
His 1974 work A Special Day, which he wrote and directed, received Best Foreign Film and Best Actor nominations for star Marcello Mastroianni.
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said Scola was a screen "master".
His death left a "huge void in Italian culture", Mr Renzi tweeted (in Italian).
Scola directed 41 films and wrote the screenplay for almost 90, according to the Internet Movie Database.
He performed both roles in A Special Day, which saw Mastroianni and Sophia Loren develop a relationship against the backdrop of fascist 1930s Italy.
Other works include We All Loved Each Other So Much, The Family and Ugly, Dirty and Bad - for which he won best director at the Cannes film festival in 1976.
The Storyhouse was completed following a two-and-a-half-year project to transform the city's former Odeon cinema.
It has opened its doors after the Gateway Theatre closed in 2007 leaving no other dedicated venue for performances in the city.
The new theatre retains the character of the Grade II listed building.
As well as the 800-capacity auditorium, it features a library, independent cinema, restaurant and rooftop bar.
Funded by Cheshire West and Chester Council and Arts Council England, it has become the largest public building in the city, next to the cathedral and town hall.
Chief executive Andrew Bentley said: "We're thrilled to finally bring back a theatre to Chester after a decade-long absence.
"We've retained all the beautiful art deco features of the original building and also added a brilliant extension."
The shooting took place as masked men raided the premises in Digbeth, central Birmingham, on Wednesday evening, said police.
Akhtar Javeed, aged 56, was found lying in the road. He was taken to hospital but pronounced dead a short time later.
Police believe two men were involved. The robbery was at a business premises in Rea Street, near the junction with MacDonald Street.
BBC correspondent Peter Wilson said Mr Javeed was believed to be a company director at Direct Source 3 and was found by police after he had been shot.
Other staff are thought to have been on the premises at the time of the raid.
Police said they did not yet know what type of a firearm was used.
Mr Javeed's family have been informed.

Act Det Ch Insp Martin Slevin said the raid took place at 18:40 GMT, at a time when people may have been leaving work and could have seen what happened.
"If you have any information that could help our investigation, please get in touch as soon as possible," he said.
Direct Source 3 is a fast food, retail and catering business.
A post-mortem examination is being arranged.
There has been a spike in gun crime in Birmingham in recent weeks . Police have said it is of "great concern".
So far this year there have been 41 arrests for gun-related crime and 19 firearms have been seized.
This is the third gun-related death investigated by West Midlands Police since October.
The bus was returning from the Amarnath Cave pilgrimage site in the Anantnag district when the attack took place.
Police told the BBC the target appeared to be a nearby counter-insurgency base.
The attack, which also left 19 injured, is likely to heighten tensions in the disputed region.
Hardline Hindu groups linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party have long wanted to see tough action against the armed revolt against Indian rule in the Muslim-majority region.
Amid emotional scenes at the police line in Anantnag, many pilgrims who survived the attack say they are lucky to be alive.
The district hospital was full of injured survivors.
The owner of the bus, Harsh Desai, was among the injured.
"I saw five to six gunmen right in front of our bus. They were firing indiscriminately and throwing stones at our bus. I told the driver not to stop and just keep driving," he told the BBC.
Nearly all the survivors praised the driver, who did not stop the vehicle and got them to safety, only stopping near an army convoy 2km (1.24 miles) away. Many say that without him, the death toll would have been much higher.
An elderly woman said her sister who was sitting next to her and a man behind her both died in the attack, though she did not suffer any injuries.
News of the attack has already sparked anger with people demanding immediate retaliation on behalf of the pilgrims, most of whom came from Gujarat, Mr Modi's home state.
Mr Modi tweeted he was "pained beyond words", adding: "India will never get bogged down by such cowardly attacks and the evil designs of hate."
The attack has also been condemned by separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani, whose spokesman called it "an act of terror", while outlawed armed group Lashkar-e-Toiba distanced itself from the attack, saying "it was aimed at bringing a bad name to the Kashmiri movement".
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who stayed overnight with the wounded, all of whom were out of danger, promised that her forces "would not spare" those involved.
The attack comes after some hardline separatist leaders said they welcomed the pilgrims - about 100,000 of whom have already completed the journey - as their fight is not with ordinary Indians.
One police source told the BBC the bus was not properly registered, and should have been off the road by the time of the attack, at 20:20 local time (14:50 GMT) on Monday.
Wales and Iceland have excelled in the competition despite this being the first time they have qualified.
Wales face Portugal on Wednesday in the semi-final, while hosts France eliminated Iceland in the last eight.
"I think there will be a boom in those countries and we will see more kids there playing football," said Kallen.
Northern Ireland, Albania and Slovakia also appeared in the competition for the first time.
"People were anxious the format might not work but it has worked," Kallen said. "We have seen two teams going further than anybody believed they would and that's positive."
Some have criticised the new format and the defensive approach taken by teams relying on draws to get through the group stage as a best third-paced side.
However, that also contributed to the exciting conclusion to the group stages with most teams needing points to qualify, typified by Iceland's thrilling late victory against Austria.
The new format will be in place for Euro 2020, which will be hosted throughout Europe, and Kallen said it could also be adopted beyond that.
Owen Newbury, 18, admitted racially aggravated harassment following Everton's first goal in the fourth round tie at Brunton Park in January.
Newbury, of Skinburness Drive, Silloth, was given a five-year banning order at Carlisle Magistrates' Court.
He was also ordered to carry out 140 hours of community service.
She is accused of directing the artillery fire in which the two journalists died.
It was initially thought the judge had found her guilty, but journalists say a final verdict has not yet been delivered.
Ukraine and some Western countries have condemned the case as a show trial.
The two Russian state TV journalists Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin were killed in mortar fire in June 2014, at the height of fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels.
On the same day, Ms Savchenko, 34, was captured by rebels.
Ms Savchenko, a pilot by training, is accused of having acted as an artillery spotter on the ground.
She denies the charges. Her has argued phone records prove she was captured by rebels before the attack.
Ms Savchenko had arrived in the area a few days previously to join the volunteer Aidar battalion, loyal to the Ukrainian government.
According to her lawyers, she was captured by rebel militants on the morning of 17 June whilst trying to reach several Aidar fighters who had been wounded in an ambush.
Ms Savchenko says her captors then took her into Russia, but prosecutors say she secretly crossed into Russian territory herself.
Ukraine resistance symbol in Russia
Caught in the middle of a media war
'A symbol of defiance and hope'
Reading the verdict, the judge in the Russian town of Donetsk quoted prosecutors as saying Ms Savchenko had been driven by "political hatred".
The prosecution has called for Ms Savchenko - who was elected as a Ukrainian MP in her absence following her capture - to be jailed for 23 years.
Any sentence will be delivered by the court on Tuesday, after an eventual verdict has been handed down.
Earlier, one of her lawyers said there was "no doubt" that the court would find Ms Savchenko guilty and sentence her to a "few dozen years".
"A propaganda machine is at work here, absent of justice and freedom," said Mark Feigin on Twitter.
Western politicians have called for her release.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has said she should be freed "immediately and unconditionally" while the US envoy to the UN, Samantha Power, described the trial as "farcical".
Relations between Russia and Ukraine - along with its Western allies - have deteriorated since the events of 2014 in Ukraine.
Moscow annexed the Crimean peninsula that March after an unrecognised referendum on self-determination, and is accused of covertly supporting the rebels in the bloody conflict which later divided eastern Ukraine.
The Archbishop of Canterbury made the comments as he defended the decision to restrict a liberal US branch of the Church for allowing same-sex marriage.
He said it was not for Anglican leaders to "divide the Church" and that union would be "painful as well as joyful".
But he added it was a "constant source of deep sadness that people are persecuted for their sexuality".
His comments followed an agreement between Anglican leaders on measures to curb the US Episcopal Church, including barring it from decision-making for three years.
The agreement - made at a four-day meeting of 39 Anglican primates in Canterbury - also upheld a "traditional doctrine" of marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Episcopal leaders and campaigners have criticised the decision, with people gathering to protest at Canterbury Cathedral.
The head of the Episcopal Church, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight, the experience of the gay and lesbian community was similar to that of African-Americans, adding: "Even after emancipation there were those who were excluded and segregated."
Anglicans have been divided on the issue of homosexuality and same-sex marriage since the US Episcopal Church ordained an openly gay bishop in 2003.
Leaders said that stance was a "fundamental departure" from the faith of the majority in what is the world's third largest Christian denomination.
Speaking at the Primates 2016 conference, Archbishop Welby said facing protesters, particularly those from Africa, was a reminder of the "pain and suffering of many LGBTI (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex) people around the world".
He said: "For me it's a constant source of deep sadness, the number of people who are persecuted for their sexuality.
"I don't have the right to speak for everyone. I wanted to take this opportunity to say how sorry I am for the hurt and pain, in the past and present, the Church has caused."
But defending the decision to curb the US Episcopal Church, he said the "unity shown by the primates" was "going to be painful as well as joyful and remarkable".
"It is not for us to divide the body of Christ, it is not for us to divide the Church," he said.
The rift over the US Episcopal Church's stance on same-sex marriage and homosexuality dates back to the ordination of openly gay Canon Gene Robinson.
He was made a bishop of the Episcopal Church's New Hampshire diocese in 2003.
More than 100 senior Anglicans had used an open letter less than a week ago to urge the Church of England to repent for "discriminating" against lesbian and gay Christians.
However, the Anglican leaders in Canterbury said the Episcopal Church's approval of gay marriage was "a fundamental departure from the faith and teaching" of the majority of Anglicans.
The Anglican leader denied suggestions the US Church was being sanctioned but said it was facing "consequences" and said the decision was supported by the "overwhelming majority" of Anglican primates.
Asked if the Church's position made it look outdated, he admitted it would in some parts of the world but not others.
He said: "It makes us look out of line in the US and UK, yes, but not in many other parts of the world, no.
"We are a global Church and that means that there are different views in different places."
He also said the mistreatment of gay people in some countries, especially those where homosexuality is criminalised, remained a "major concern".
BBC religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt
There was an atmosphere of significant mistrust at this meeting, perhaps hardly surprising given the animosity of the past years between the most traditionalist of the provinces and the most liberal.
The disagreement over Anglican doctrine regarding same sex marriage is probably a more fundamental one than the divisions that raged over female priests.
But the subtext of the meeting has been the power struggle just beneath the surface over who should lead the Anglican communion in the future - the countries of the global south, where congregations are growing, represented in part by Global Anglican Future (GAFCON) or Canterbury, its traditional leadership based in an increasingly secular global north where congregations have been in decline for many years.
Through diplomacy and negotiation - and a tight media blackout which succeeded until almost the last day - the Anglican Communion has pulled through as one, for now.
The careful wording of the resolution agreed by the majority of primates ensured there was no mention of the words "sanction" or "punishment", although the strength of feeling about the Episcopal Church's unilateral action was abundantly clear.
Nonetheless, even as GAFCON welcomed the deal, its leadership added that: "This action must not be seen as an end, but as a beginning."
So even though the Anglican Communion has not "moved into separate bedrooms", as some had expected, it is continuing to live in a deeply divided household.

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

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

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

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

Hill's 1996 season was by far his most successful. He managed eight race wins and was never off the front row of the grid in qualifying on his way to his first World Championship, ahead of team-mate Jacques Villeneuve.
Along with fellow racing driver Nigel Mansell and boxer Sir Henry Cooper, Hill became the third person to win Sports Personality of the Year twice.
He retired from competitive racing after the 1999 season.

The painting, Odalisque in Red Pants, was recovered in Miami Beach in an undercover operation two years ago.
An American and a Mexican citizen were both arrested and convicted of theft.
The painting, which used to be on display in a museum in Caracas, was replaced by a fake but the switch took years to discover.
It was exchanged for a bad copy sometime between 1999 and 2002 but it was not until 2003 that officials at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas realised what had happened.
The original was found by US undercover agents in a hotel room in Miami.
"The work is in extraordinary condition, with only slight imperfections on the edges, but it is fine," said Joel Espinoza, an official with Venezuela's attorney general's office.
The painting was flown back and arrived in Venezuela on Monday where it will go on public display in two weeks time.
Painted in 1925, Odalisque in Red Pants has been valued at more than $3m.
It was bought by the Venezuelan government from a gallery in New York in 1981.

They're not your average men's best friends, but medical alert dogs.
Strutting their stuff were seven golden retrievers training to be diabetes alert dogs and a Spanish water dog set to become an allergy alert dog.
They were given the opportunity to familiarise themselves with an airport and its surroundings.
The dogs, aged between one and two-and-a-half years old, were walked through every area of the airport, from check-in, through security and onto an aircraft.
Diabetes alert dogs are trained to warn their owners when their blood sugar is low and if a hypo or hyper glycaemic episode is imminent.
This is important for owners who have lost their hypo-awareness and cannot feel an episode coming on.
Shortly after check-in, one of the dogs, Beau, did exactly as she was trained to do. She alerted her owner, Debbie Trimble, that her blood sugar level was low.
"I was sitting down. I wasn't feeling the best," said Debbie.
"She came over to me and put her paw on my knee several times and that was to let me know to check my blood sugars."
Debbie hadn't been aware that there was such a thing as a diabetes alert dog until she saw an advert in a magazine. But it has changed her life.
"I live by myself and I have very unstable diabetes," she said.
"I was reading an advertisement in the Assisi animal sanctuary magazine saying that there are diabetic alert dogs available, so I applied and about a year-and-a half later I got Beau.
"Beau and I went into training together and now she is a fully fledged alert dog.
"She lets me know when my blood sugars are going low and will alert me to that before they get dangerously low and she's been a great companion to me."
Debbie said she finds flying stressful.
"Stress does tend to make my blood sugars go low, so to have a dog gives me extra confidence and would enable me to do things that I wouldn't do without her," she said.
Northern Ireland Assistance Dogs train and provide medical alert dogs to adults with medical conditions such as diabetes.
One of the trainers, Judith Byrne, said a medical alert dog helps give their owners more independence.
"It allows them to have a normal life," said Ms Byrne.
"Diabetes, especially type-1, is a very difficult condition to live with.
"It means they can have their holiday without worrying about 'am I going to go low'? Especially if they are used to having a dog around and that dog gives them that security."
Tuesday's exercise was a chance for the animals to learn about airports and air travel, intended to help them acclimatise to the processes involved with taking a flight.
"The dog's partners want to go on holidays, their condition goes with them on holiday so the dog needs to go with them on holiday," said Mrs Byrne.
"It's a dry run; it familiarises the dog with everything that's happening, from checking in, to bags around the place, going through the machines at security, right through out on to the plane."
While many people may never have seen a medical alert dog on an aeroplane, Judith said it was becoming more common.
"Northern Ireland is a bit behind other places in that we're only starting to have assistance dogs here," she said.
"There have always been guide dogs but the other types of dogs are becoming more common here now.
The dogs are trained to alert their owner by nudging them in a way that would not be obtrusive - for example during a meeting.
"They're trained to nudge the person's leg, then they'll use their paw if they don't get a response.
"Then they'll maybe jump on the person and then they'll bark and alert other people.
"With diabetes in particular, you can lose consciousness and it can be very, very dangerous to go low."
"There is no rhyme, there is no reason to why it happens," said Judith.
"It's stress.
"Even the stress of going on holiday, stress of going on a flight can cause a hypo."
The papers, which date back to the mid-1500s, were discovered at the Dunham Massey estate near Altrincham.
They were found by a steward in a folio of letters kept in one of Dunham's picture stores.
An expert from the John Rylands Library confirmed the authenticity of both documents.
Both are addressed to George Booth Esq, the grandfather of Sir George Booth who built the first house at the National Trust site in 1600.
The letter from King Henry is dated 1543 and is a call to arms to landlords to recruit troops from their tenants to go into battle against the Scots.
Jane Seymour's document announces the birth of a son, the future King Edward VI, in 1537.
Queen Jane, Henry's third wife, died of complications from childbirth less than two weeks after Edward was born.
Katie Taylor, who made the discovery, said: "I was going through the letters in the folio, and these two signatures jumped out at me.
"I was almost sure that one was signed by King Henry VIII, and the other written on behalf of Queen Jane Seymour.
"Each of the letters is written on very thick and robust paper, and both have been kept flat and stored carefully away.
"These documents are older than any of our buildings at Dunham and almost the oldest things in our collection."
The letters are part of an exhibition to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year.
Det Garda Adrian Donohoe, was shot at the Lordship Credit Union in Bellurgan at about 21:30 GMT on Friday.
Irish police said he did not produce his weapon before he was shot.
The 41-year-old was one of two detectives on escort duty when an attempted robbery took place.
His colleague, Det Joe Ryan, has been severely traumatised but is otherwise unhurt.
Police are looking for four men in a dark-coloured Volkswagen Passat.
The area has been sealed off while police attempt to establish the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the Police Service of Northern Ireland has been informed.
Det Garda Donohue, who was married with two children, is the first member of the force to be shot dead on duty since the murder of Det Garda Jerry McCabe in 1996.
Det McCabe was also shot dead on escort duty outside a post office in Adare, County Limerick.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday afternoon, Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan said everyone in the police force was "deeply shocked and saddened by the murder of our colleague".
"My thoughts, and the thoughts of everyone in An Garda Siochana, and I'm sure the wider community are with the Donohue family," he said.
"We will be doing everything in our power to catch the perpetrators of this terrible murder."
The garda commissioner added that his wife Caroline and two of his brothers were also police officers and that Det Donohue was a "very popular, effective and efficient" member of the force.
Irish President Michael D Higgins said all Irish people "will be truly appalled" by this "dreadful crime".
Ireland's Minister for Justice Alan Shatter said people had respect for those working in the Irish police force.
"They will share my revulsion and horror that a garda (Irish police officer) has so tragically lost his life in the course of his duties."
Stormont Justice Minister David Ford said he and Mr Shatter had reinforced their commitment to work together against criminal gangs.
"I condemn this brutal murder of Garda Donohoe and offer my deepest sympathies to his family and fellow Garda officers," he said.
"Anyone with information should pass it to the appropriate authorities so these dangerous people can be brought before the courts."
The Garda Representative Association President John Parker said it was in "deep shock" following the killing.
"This dreadful news is what every police family fears," he said.
"At this time the wider garda family will be doing everything possible to support the late garda's relatives and loved ones, friends and colleagues." | Political leaders in Scotland have joined to call for same-sex marriage to be introduced in Northern Ireland.

Since his appointment, former Stevenage, Peterborough United and Preston manager Westley has appointed Dino Maamria as his assistant.
Sean McCarthy, who was in caretaker charge following Warren Feeney's sacking in September, has left the League Two's bottom club.
"He [Flynn] knows the football club," said Westley.
"One of the most important things when you come from afar is someone really close who's on your side, who is helping you run the football club and make sure you don't make basic errors."
Newport-born Flynn enjoyed three spells at the Exiles as a player before being appointed first team coach at the club in October last year under John Sheridan.
In the summer, he moved to a newly-created role of Football and Business Director, but Westley has moved swiftly to add him to his backroom team.
"The club asked me to put together a framework for management," Westley added.
"There are certain financial aspects for what you can and can't do at any football club so for certain people to arrive, certain people have to go.
"There's nothing personal in any decision that gets made in these situations.

Claire Jones, from Burry Port, Lilly Harris-John, of Swansea, and Peter Davies, of no fixed address, were all cleared of any involvement.
After the guilty verdict, Judge Mike Roach told Richter-John: "I don't want to mislead you but you are facing a prison sentence, and it will be a substantial one."
