Following the Grenfell Tower disaster in London, Electrical Safety First (ESF) said the Welsh Government should test white goods such as fridge-freezers and washing machines for free.
The Metropolitan Police said the blaze started in a Hotpoint fridge-freezer.
The Welsh Government said its fire safety advisory group would look at what lessons could be learned.
In Wales, registered social landlords own 36 blocks and ESF wants the fire safety advisory group to consider making councils and housing associations have a legal responsibility to carry out free electrical safety checks on appliances and a register of white goods.
The charity said the initial cost would be between £500,000 and £600,000 every five years.
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "The group will take an informed approach, making recommendations to ensure tenants in Wales continue to be informed and safe.
"It will be guided in this by the work of the UK government's expert panel."
ESF looked at Stats Wales figures for fires involving white goods including dishwashers, fridge-freezers, spin dryers, tumble dryers, washing machine and washer/dryers.
There were 1,249 fires from 2009 to 2016 involving these appliances.
Robert Jervis-Gibbons, public affairs manager at ESF, said: "We believe that first and foremost, those living in densely populated areas like tower blocks in Wales must be protected.
"As a result we would like to see the Welsh Government implement safety checks as a matter of urgency."
At a one-day inquiry on Thursday, senior fire officers gave evidence to an assembly committee on fire safety in high rise blocks in Wales.
Stuart Millington of North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said visits had been carried out at all 76 properties above six storeys high.
Politicians also heard evidence of some residents living in high rise properties had been attempting their own fire safety tests on building materials.
Iwan Cray from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: "Given the scenario where we are today, 700 flats we've knocked on doors since Grenfell and not everybody has taken up the offer of a home fire safety check in those blocks, which is quite surprising really." | Electrical goods in tower blocks should be tested automatically to help prevent fires, a safety charity has said. | 40,595,138 | 476 | 23 | false |
The county has not won any silverware since 2008 when they won the One-Day Cup and Division Two of the Pro40.
"He's a very balanced guy, he's passionate about leading Essex into a new era," former England opener Gooch told BBC Look East.
"I'm confident he can start something special for Essex."
Essex won the County Championship six times between 1979 and 1992, but have been in Division Two since 2011.
Former Yorkshire and England bowler Silverwood, 41, was appointed as head coach on a full-time basis in December 2015 after standing in temporarily following Paul Grayson's departure last September.
The club has also had a shake-up on the field with Ryan ten Doeschate replacing James Foster as four-day captain and Ravi Bopara being named as limited-overs skipper.
"I think he's got a tough job and the pressure's going to be on him [Silverwood]," Gooch, who played for Essex for 24 years, added.
"We've had a change of captain, a few new players and he's got a new assistant coach.
"I think Essex have been flat-lining a bit for a few years, but I'm confident he can start something special." | Essex's new head coach Chris Silverwood can bring success back to the club after years of "flat-lining", according to ex-opening batsman Graham Gooch. | 35,942,048 | 279 | 38 | false |
Michael O'Neill's side beat Norway 2-0 in their most recent match, a World Cup 2018 qualifier that moved them second behind Germany in Group C.
Wales dropped one place to 13th, England stay in 14th, while Scotland moved up eight spots to 59th.
Brazil went top for the first time in seven years, replacing Argentina.
The five-time World Cup winners became the first side to qualify for next year's tournament in Russia with a 3-0 victory over Paraguay last week. | Northern Ireland have climbed nine places up to joint 26th in Fifa's world rankings, level with the Republic of Ireland, who fell by two places. | 39,513,312 | 109 | 35 | false |
Dersalloch wind farm, located on Dersalloch Hill, between Straiton and Dalmellington, has 23 turbines with a capacity of 69MW of electricity.
It is first of eight onshore wind farm projects, worth more than £650m, being delivered by ScottishPower Renewables.
They will have a combined total of 221 turbines, capable of generating almost 500MW - enough to power 130,000 homes.
Keith Anderson, chief executive of ScottishPower Renewables, said he was delighted to see Dersalloch wind farm starting its operational life.
"It has always had the potential to be a significant renewable energy project and, combined with the other wind farms we are currently constructing, will play a significant part in the future of Scotland's energy production," he said.
Harry Studley was taken to Bristol Children's Hospital with a head injury after he was shot at a block of flats in Bishport Avenue, Hartcliffe, Bristol, on Friday afternoon.
Police said the shooting was a "potentially negligent act".
A man, 24, and a woman, 23, who are not related to the baby, have been arrested in connection with the shooting.
Harry's parents Amy Allen and Edward Studley said in a statement issued through the police: "We very much appreciate the help and support of our family, friends and local community at this very difficult time.
"We are concentrating our focus on our son Harry's recovery and would appreciate if we could have our privacy respected in order to allow us to do so."
Police, who believe Harry received the injury from one pellet, say they are not looking for anyone else.
Det Insp Jonathan Deane, from Avon and Somerset Police, said officers were focusing on "unravelling the full circumstances leading up to this tragedy".
He added: "Our thoughts are with the child's family and they are being given all the help and support they need.
"I'd like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding while we carry out our inquiries and reassurance patrols will be carried out tonight and tomorrow.
"If any residents have specific concerns then please speak to your neighbourhood team."
"Operation Wishbone" was launched by Essex Police in the wake of several high-profile domestic-related murders around the UK involving weapons.
Of the 24,500 licensed firearms holders in Essex, 777 were visited by Essex Police to check if it was suitable for them to own guns.
A total of 220 shotguns and firearms were seized.
Earlier this year, licensed shotgun holder Christopher Parry was convicted of murdering his wife by shooting her in the back near her home in Wales.
In October, puppy farmer John Lowe was found guilty of murdering his partner and her daughter in Surrey.
His shotguns and licence had been seized by police but were returned several months later.
Essex Police checked details of licence holders to see if they had ever been the perpetrator of domestic violence, even if they had not been arrested, charged or found guilty.
They prioritised cases, focussing on the highest-risk first, and visiting the holders.
The force's approach was "victim-based", so people could say if they believed their partners or family members should be allowed to keep guns.
"If there were concerns, we took steps to remove guns, ammunition and certificates where we believed there was a danger to public safety," said Chief Insp Tom Simons from Essex Police.
Fifty people gave up their licences or had them revoked, and 86 people were given warnings about how they stored their guns.
Insp Neal Miller, who led the operation, said in future, any incidents where there is a suggestion of the involvement of a licensed firearms holder would be "assessed at the earliest opportunity".
The meal, withdrawn from sale on Tuesday, came from the French factory producing Findus beef lasagne, also at the centre of a row over horsemeat.
Meanwhile, Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has told MPs of plans to test all processed beef in the UK.
Romania has rejected claims that it was responsible for wrongly describing horsemeat from its abattoirs as beef.
Tesco took the frozen bolognese off the shelves when it found out Findus was concerned about the source of its meat processed by Comigel, based at Metz, north-eastern France.
It is one of several products that have been withdrawn from UK shelves amid the current scandal over horsemeat in food products in the UK and Europe.
Tesco Group technical director Tim Smith said: "The frozen Everyday Value Spaghetti Bolognese should contain only Irish beef from our approved suppliers. The source of the horsemeat is still under investigation by the relevant authorities.
"The level of contamination suggests that Comigel was not following the appropriate production process for our Tesco product and we will not take food from their facility again.
"We are very sorry that we have let customers down."
Mr Paterson told MPs he had called in representatives of all Britain's producers, retailers and distributors and "made it clear" he expected to see immediate testing of all processed beef products across the supply chain.
He said testing should take place every three months, and the Food Standards Agency should be notified of results.
He told representatives from the British Retail Consortium, the Food and Drink Federation, the British Meat Processors Association, the Federation of Wholesale Distributors, the Institute of Grocery Distribution and individual retailers that he expected to see:
In the Commons, Labour's Mary Creagh accused Mr Paterson of being too slow to respond as incidents emerged.
Q&A: Horsemeat scandal
Healthy alternatives to processed meat
"The secretary of state had to be called back to London from his long weekend to deal with the crisis." she claimed. "Until Saturday's panic summit, he hadn't actually met the food industry to address this crisis."
News of the tests came after the Romanian Prime Minister earlier on Monday denied two abattoirs in his country sold horsemeat purported to be beef to European food companies.
The abattoirs had been linked to the contamination of processed meat products sold in Europe. Victor Ponta said checks were carried out and there had been no breach of rules and standards.
In France, consumer affairs minister Benoit Hamon said that the whole of the food industry would be under heightened surveillance, with more random sampling of products and wider use of DNA tests to determine the origin of meat.
French inspectors were at the Comigel headquarters in Metz in north-eastern France on Monday. Findus meals were made by the company at its Luxembourg factory.
Investigators were also at the offices in the south of France of the importer Spanghero, which brought the meat to France from Romania.
Last week Findus UK took its frozen beef lasagne, made by Comigel, off the shelves after some samples were found to contain up to 100% horsemeat.
Seven French supermarkets have withdrawn frozen ready-meals made by Findus.
And on Monday night, one Dutch supermarket chain took the Prima Frost brand of lasagne produced by Comigel off the shelves, amid fears it may contain horsemeat.
A third of people in the UK who responded to a poll on Monday on their shopping habits said they were less likely to buy processed meat as a result of horsemeat scandal.
A quarter of the 6,221 people who replied said they did not buy processed meat anyway and a further third (36%) said it would not make any difference to their shopping habits.
The poll was conducted by the market research company Kantar.
Mr Paterson said he would meet with his European counterparts and the European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Policy Tonio Borg later this week in the wake of the scandal.
"At the moment this appears to be an issue of fraud and mislabelling.
"But if anything suggests the need for changes to surveillance and enforcement in the UK we will not hesitate to make those changes," he said.
After conceding four in last weekend's loss at Bournemouth, Liverpool shipped two avoidable first-half goals on their way to ceding more ground to Chelsea and Arsenal in the title race.
Adam Lallana's smart low finish had put Liverpool ahead inside five minutes but the visitors were level before the half-hour when goalkeeper Loris Karius - at fault for Bournemouth's winner a week ago - failed to deal with Payet's saveable 25-yard free-kick.
Karius was less culpable for West Ham's second scored by Antonio, but it was a scruffy goal that did not reflect well on a Liverpool backline that has now conceded 20 goals in 15 league games - the worst record among the teams in the top six.
But errors were not the sole preserve of the Liverpool defence, and a big mistake by West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph, dropping a cross into the path of Divock Origi, gifted Liverpool the equaliser.
Randolph made amends with a quite stunning late save to keep out Jordan Henderson's equally sublime strike as West Ham held on for a point that sees them climb to 17th.
Until recently Liverpool's new goalkeeper had largely gone under the radar since joining from manager Jurgen Klopp's former club Mainz in the summer.

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

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

Households in Bristol will pay 3.95% - in Bath and North East Somerset a rise of 3.25% was agreed while in North Somerset bills will go up by 3.74%.
The new 2% adult social care charge was announced in the government's autumn statement in November 2015.
It is similar to the Police and Fire Authority in that it is designed to be spent of a specific local service.
Included in Bristol City Council's budget is £56m earmarked for capital investment in new and existing council housing and a one-off payment of £500,000 towards the planned Bristol Aerospace Centre, documenting the city's central role in the development of the modern aviation industry.
North Somerset's decision to put up council tax is only the second time the council has agreed to do so in the past six years.
Council leader Nigel Ashton said it was "very much a last resort, but it is a road we have been forced down".
It means the average Band D council tax bill will be £1,208.40 - an increase of less than £1 a week.
In Banes councillors agreed to find £150,000 to upgrade and improve children's play areas and £85,000 to tackle the area's gull problems.
The budget has made £10m of savings - almost a quarter of the £43m needed over the next four years.
The research, published in the journal the Annals of Internal Medicine, suggests an extra cup of coffee could lengthen a person's lifespan - even if it is decaffeinated.
But sceptical experts point out it is impossible to say for sure that it is the coffee that is having a protective effect, rather than say, a more healthy lifestyle in coffee drinkers.
They say there is no need to reach for that extra cup of coffee just yet.
Researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer and Imperial College London say they have found that drinking more coffee is linked to a lower risk of death - particularly for heart diseases and diseases of the gut.
They came to their conclusions after analysing data of healthy people over the age of 35 from 10 EU countries.
They asked them once at the beginning of the study how much coffee they tended to drink and then looked at deaths over an average of 16 years.
Prof Sir David Spiegelhalter, from the University of Cambridge, analyses the public understanding of risk and says that if the estimated reductions in death really were down to coffee, then an extra cup of coffee every day would extend the life of a man by around three months and a woman by around a month on average.
But despite the sheer scale of the study, it is by no means perfect and cannot prove that coffee beans are the magic ingredient.
Frustratingly for coffee fiends, the findings really are not as clear-cut as they might first seem.
That's because the study could not take every factor into account - clouding how certain one can be about coffee's effects.
For example, it did not look at how much coffee drinkers earned in comparison with non-coffee drinkers. It might be that people who can afford three cups of coffee a day are richer and that extra money, in some way, helps protect their health.
It might be that people who drank three cups of coffee a day spent more time socialising and that in turn may have boosted their wellbeing.
And even if they were to be certain it was the coffee that was responsible, not every risk improved.
The researchers found higher coffee-drinking was linked to a higher rate of ovarian cancer in women, for example.
And although the paper looked at a lot of people, the researchers excluded anyone who had diabetes, heart attacks or strokes at the beginning of the study.
So it doesn't tell us much about the risks or benefits of drinking coffee if people are unwell.
It is also possible some of those people became unwell while having their regular brews.
Previous studies have shown conflicting and often contradictory results.
For many people, experience suggests that drinks containing caffeine can temporarily make us feel more alert.
But caffeine affects some people more than others, and the effects can vary from person to person.
NHS experts have not set limits for coffee in the general population but they do say that pregnant women should avoid drinking more than 200mg of caffeine a day.
They say this is because coffee might increase the chance of the baby being born too small. Too much caffeine may also increase the risk of miscarriage.
And, of course, caffeine is not just found in coffee.
The 200mg caffeine limit could be reached by having two mugs of tea and a can of cola, for example, or two cups of instant coffee.
There was also recently the case of a US teen who, it's thought, may have died from drinking too many caffeinated drinks too quickly.
The most rigorous scientific way to be certain that coffee could make you live longer would be to force thousands of people all over the world to drink it regularly while preventing many thousands of otherwise similar people from ever drinking coffee.
Scientists would then have to monitor every other aspect of their life - what else they ate and drank, how much they earned, how much exercise they did, for example.
That's a study that is never likely to take place.
So for now, some experts say, instead of putting all your bets on coffee being good for you, you could instead do something that has been proven to extend life - take a brisk, 20-minute walk to the nearest coffee shop - whether you order a cup or not.

Watford striker Troy Deeney's BBC Sport analysis focused on Leicester's rock-solid defence forming the foundation of their seven-point lead over Tottenham at the top of the table.
Only Spurs and Manchester City have scored more goals than the Foxes this season, but after captain Wes Morgan scored the only goal to beat Southampton at the weekend, Claudio Ranieri's side have now recorded an impressive seven 1-0 wins this campaign.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said this week: "Think of the man who won most leagues - Sir Alex Ferguson - how many times you have to win games 1-0."
But do the stats back that up? Here's some interesting findings from Opta.
Sorry Leicester fans, not really.
Only seven Premier League titles out of 23 have been claimed by the team with the most 1-0 wins (30.4%). Last season, Chelsea were the first champions with more 1-0 wins than their rivals in five years.
And Manchester United (7) missed out to Blackburn Rovers (5) by a single point in 1994-95, while Newcastle (7) were pipped to the post by Manchester United (8) who recorded five 1-0 victories in the title run-in, including a memorable victory on Tyneside.
However, seven 1-0 victories helped Arsene Wenger's double-winning side of 1997-98 seal the title by a point from Manchester United (4), as the same amount did for United (7) in their Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired 2007-08 campaign - finishing two points clear of Chelsea (9).
But the same amount (7) was no-where near enough for the Gunners to stop Jose Mourinho's Chelsea juggernaut of 2004-05 (11) who won the league that year with a record 95 points.
Nine 1-0 wins would be almost a quarter of the season's matches, and Leicester's next three fixtures against Sunderland, West Ham and Swansea would appear to give the Foxes a chance to reach that target.
Yet the three sides to have recorded that many narrow victories in a Premier League campaign have not won the title.
Arsenal (9) fell one point short of treble-winners United (4) in 1998-99.
And a post-Mourinho Chelsea finished second behind United for consecutive seasons in 2006-07 and 2007-08 despite more 1-0 wins (9 in both seasons) than the Old Trafford side (4 and 7).
Nope.
It probably won't happen to Leicester this season, but remarkably, Liverpool finished third despite 10 1-0 victories in the 2005-06 campaign - nine points behind winners Chelsea (5) and a point behind runners-up United (4).
And a further stat that puts the nail in the 1-0 theory coffin comes from Arsenal's Invincibles side, which went unbeaten on their way to the 2003-04 title.
They only won three games 1-0, but finished a whopping 11 points ahead of Chelsea, who picked up 10 1-0 wins... managed by Claudio Ranieri.
Manchester United - in the season that no doubt cemented the old adage "Champions win when they are not playing well" - did take the title with 10 1-0 wins in 2008-09, ahead of Liverpool (4).
In fact, United clocked up eight 1-0 wins in 11 games in the space of nine weeks from the end of November to the start of February.
Eleven. That would do it. Eleven 1-0 wins would not only match Chelsea's record tally from 2004-05, but make mathematically sure that Leicester City become Premier League champions.
For the first time in the history of Northern Ireland unionists no longer hold the majority at Stormont.
And it happened under the watch of a DUP leader who, 10 months ago, was electoral gold dust.
In the end, just 1,168 votes separated the DUP and Sinn Féin - a gap which is sure to spook unionists.
The DUP has lost its veto. Without the magic 30 seats the party can no longer play the petition of concern card.
But it may call on the support of some like-minded unionists when it feels the need to block legislation.
Much will depend on its relationship with the new leader of the Ulster Unionists.
The make up of the next Executive is also set to change.
The DUP will no longer have four ministers around table: They will drop to three - the same as Sinn Féin.
But those figures will change if the SDLP and Ulster Unionists decide to remain in opposition: They are entitled to one seat each at the Executive table.
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood fought the election to enter government, but only if the conditions after the negotiations are to his liking.
If he turns his back on government, then he will have to make room on the "official" opposition benches for the Alliance party.
Having won 8.8% of the vote, it has now passed the threshold to gain "official" status.
But what direction will the leaderless Ulster Unionists now take, and who will make that call if the Executive returns?
As Mike Nesbitt discovered, big bold moves don't always pay dividends, especially if those standing on your shoulder quietly don't agree.
One unionist who did emerge unscathed is ready and willing to return to her post.
Former Justice Minister Clare Sugden says she wants "to finish the job she started".
But will those who sat with her around that table have the same drive to finish the job they started?
The City of Yarra made a unanimous decision to drop all references to Australia Day and cease holding citizenship ceremonies on 26 January.
Australia Day is the anniversary of the arrival of Britain's first settlers in 1788, an event many indigenous Australians refer to as "Invasion Day".
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull criticised the council's decision.
"The council is using a day that should unite Australians to divide Australians," he said in a statement.
"An attack on Australia Day is a repudiation of the values the day celebrates: freedom, a fair go, mateship and diversity."
The council said it had made its decision following months of consultation.
"We have been informed very consistently from the Aboriginal community in Yarra and more broadly that it is not a day of celebration for them," Mayor Amanda Stone told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"It is very hard to reconcile having a day of national celebration when one whole sector of the population feels excluded."
However, she said the council had also taken many calls from people opposing the decision.
Calls to shift Australia Day have grown in recent years. This year, "Invasion Day" protests were held around the country.
Last year, a Western Australian council also attempted to shift its celebrations but reversed its decision following pressure from Mr Turnbull's government.
Mr Turnbull said he acknowledged the day was "complex for many indigenous Australians", but the "overwhelming majority" of Australians believed the date should not change.
According to a recent survey, more than 70% of Australians identify the day as important to them, but only 43% could name its historical origin.
Pillinger completed the 3,004-mile cycle from California to Maryland in 12 days, nine hours and 14 minutes despite contending with hallucinations.
Her 2014 race ended when breaking her collarbone after falling asleep on her bike and it nearly happened this year.
"I did fall off once. I fell off on the same side in the same circumstances but luckily nothing happened," she said.
The 39-year-old IT worker from St Albans and daughter of the late planetary scientist Colin Pillinger finished with around 12 hours to spare in the early hours of Monday.
But she admitted that a lack of sleep was once again proving problematic.
"Unfortunately I have a habit of falling asleep on the bike and I fell asleep on the bike many times from half way," she added.
"We were doing 70 minutes (of sleep) per day plus some 25-minute naps to reset and some longer sleeps to reset which were spread through the race."
Gloucester's Ann Wooldridge came close to completing the race in 2009 when she reached the end of the course, but injury meant she finished a day over the time limit.
And Pillinger says that despite all the adversity surrounding her attempt, she is proud to have completed it.
"It's been something I've been trying to do for some time. The goal coming into this was to finish, purely because I have a nice big piece of metal in my arm and six screws from last year's attempt.
"Some people said I shouldn't have been on the start line so quickly, but this arm has been perfect."
Pillinger finished last of the three women in the Under-50 category, behind Switzerland's Isabelle Pulver and Joan Deitchman from Canada.
Felipe Flores was arrested in Iguala, in the southern state of Guerrero, where the incident happened.
The government says the students were arrested by police before being handed over to a drugs cartel who killed them and incinerated their bodies.
But families and independent experts contest this claim.
The panel of experts, working for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, said the account that the students had been burnt beyond identification at a rubbish dump was physically impossible.
Felipe Flores was police chief of Iguala when the incident took place on 26 September 2014, and his arrest may offer new clues as to what exactly happened then.
Attorney General Arely Gomez welcomed Felipe Flores' capture, writing on Twitter that it would allow investigators to get "a fundamental statement to clear up the events".
The case has tainted President Enrique Pena Nieto's image.
The 43 were all students at an all-male teacher training college in the town of Aytozinapa, in south-western Guerrero state. The college has a history of left-wing activism and the students regularly took part in protests.
They disappeared from the nearby town of Iguala on the evening of 26 September 2014 after a confrontation between municipal police and the students during which six people were killed.
Independent forensic experts have matched charred bone fragments reportedly found at a rubbish dump near Iguala to Alexander Mora, one of the 43 missing students. They also say there is a high probability another set of remains could belong to Jhosivani Guerrero de la Cruz, another of the students. However, experts from the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights say the chain of evidence was broken and they could not be sure the bone fragments had been found at the dump.
According to the official report, the students were seized by corrupt municipal police officers who handed them over to members of a local drugs gang. The drugs gang mistook the students for members of a rival gang, killed them and burned their bodies at the dump before throwing their ashes into a nearby stream.
They think officials have failed to investigate the role soldiers from a nearby barracks may have played in the students' disappearance. The government has refused to let the soldiers, who were in the area at the time of the disappearance, be questioned by anyone but government prosecutors. The families also point to the report by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights which said that there was no evidence the bodies of the 43 were burned at the dump.

Jane Warburton, 69, and her 38-year-old son Dean, from Bucknell in Shropshire, died in the accident on the A49 near Bayston Hill, in Shrewsbury, on the morning of 1 July.
They died at the scene despite the efforts of passers-by and paramedics. The lorry driver was uninjured.
West Mercia Police said it is appealing for witnesses.
Social worker Neil Swaby, of North East Lincolnshire Council, refused to explain why he did not support their case for adoption, they told the BBC.
A judge said Mr Swaby, fellow social worker Rachel Olley and another colleague were "biased" against them.
But Unison said it was "unacceptable" social workers should "carry the can".
The union that represents council social workers said Ms Olley had been made a scapegoat in the case.
Speaking to the Today programme, the couple said they challenged the authority when it decided to put the three-year-old boy up for adoption after his mother died.
They said they asked Mr Swaby: "Who do you think you are - God?"
They said he replied: "In this situation, yes. Get used to it, your grandson will go for adoption."
Judge Simon Jack, sitting at Hull Family Court, was asked to decide on the future of the boy, known only as J.
In a ruling published on Tuesday, the judge criticised evidence given by Mr Swaby, Ms Olley and a third social worker.
Ruling in favour of the couple, he said Mr Swaby had been "very begrudging" in his evidence.
He said Ms Olley's evidence was "totally discredited" after she told the court the boy had behavioural problems, contradicting her written statement.
"I have never, in over 10 years of hearing care cases, taken the view, as I did in this case, that the local authority's witnesses were visibly biased in their attempts to support the local authority's case," he said.
"It is very unfortunate and I hope I shall never see that again."
The boy's grandfather said it was only then that he thought they might win their 16-month case.
He said: "The judge asked [Ms Olley's] advocate to stand up and he said to her, 'Basically your case is a shambles,' and he threw it out of court.
"I could have hugged that judge, I could. I've never known anything like it."
In a statement, Unison said: "This blaming culture in local authorities is likely to have an impact on an already depleted workforce. [This] type of case will only drive more social workers away from the profession."
Mr Swaby did not respond to requests for comment.
A spokesman for the council said that the authority had carefully considered the judge's comments, and that there had been a "rigorous process" to prepare the social workers to give evidence.
He said: "North East Lincolnshire Council is committed to ensuring the best outcomes for children and young people and, where possible, allow them to stay within their extended family.
"We have a growing number of young people supported in this way and we continually review and update our policies and practices to assist with that aim.
"This case illustrates the complexities and difficult decisions that have to be made while striving to act in the best interests of children."

Wantage Community Hospital was scheduled to shut early in summer after raised levels of legionella bacteria were detected in its hot water system.
An online petition to save the hospital was signed by more than 3,900 people.
Oxford Health NHS trust has now said its midwifery and physiotherapy services will remain open.
Campaigners have said the trust should also reverse plans to close the hospital's 12 bed in-patient service.
The trust has said repairs to the hospital's old, corroded pipework, needed to reduce the legionella risk, will not go ahead until after a consultation in the autumn.
A trust spokesperson said it had "listened to local concerns" and offered to continue running services where there is the least risk to patients.
But she added: "It remains necessary to close the 12-bed inpatient service to protect those people more exposed to legionella risk and who are typically the most vulnerable in the event of an outbreak.
"The inpatient service must be closed since it would be impossible to relocate these patients quickly if an emergency shutdown is required."
Emma Jones, who started the petition, said the hospital was "vital to local people".
The facility's long-term future will be decided after a public consultation later this year, which will also look at other NHS services across Oxfordshire.
Legionella bacteria are commonly found in water and if inhaled can lead to Legionnaires' disease, a potentially fatal type of pneumonia.
The Education Funding Agency (EFA) gave Perry Beeches The Academy Trust 24 hours' notice of its report on "weakness in financial management".
But the trust's request for a "grace period" was granted - and publication delayed by a further two days.
The EFA said it "always" gave notice of publication.
The trust, which runs five schools and looks after 2,400 pupils in Birmingham, said its request was to give it chance to talk to "all interested parties".
The EFA investigation found an additional salary of £160,000 was paid to the trust's chief executive and former head Liam Nolan, over two years, through a third-party agreement - on top of his £120,000-a-year salary.
It was issued with a financial notice to improve.
An email chain between the EFA and the trust, released after a BBC Freedom of Information request, showed the EFA first suggested publishing its report on Tuesday 22 March, and pushed that back two days after the trust asked.
That was despite the EFA reply saying it "only ever gave 24 hours' notice" to trusts issued with a financial notice to improve.
'Irregular dispensation'
During the delay, the trust employed a PR company to push out a press release saying its "trailblazing superhead" would step down from the commercial side of the trust. He has since resigned.
The press release mentioned the financial notice to improve but none of the EFA's other findings.
Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said the trust should not have asked for what he called an "irregular, special dispensation".
"The consequence of asking for a delay is very damaging to the trust's own credibility and the consequence of it being agreed to, will damage public confidence in the academy programme," Mr McGovern said.
"Trusts should welcome publication of these reports for public confidence and transparency."
Paul Wheeler, the trust's current acting chief executive officer, said: "The request to delay publication...was to provide the trust time to inform its staff and all stakeholders."
He said the PR firm was a "sensible precaution" to "deal with the inevitable press interest".
The EFA said it was working with the trust on an "action plan to fix weaknesses".
A spokesperson said: "Academy trusts operate under a strict system of oversight and accountability - more robust than in council-run schools — which has enabled us to identify these issues and take swift action."
The trust has been praised by the government in the past with David Cameron and then education minister Michael Gove attending the opening of Perry Beeches III in 2013.
The South Africa international has made only five appearances for the club in 2015-16 after having toe surgery.

"We'll hold his registration and if he finds a club and gets fit in the summer we'll get compensation," MacAnthony added to the club website.
"I think for players of that age group, and particularly someone who's got an injury prone record at the moment, he needs to be playing football."
American military forces carried out a series of strikes in Syria against Islamic State (IS), a group of violent militants who are responsible for brutal attacks on minority groups and the murders of three western hostages.
The US raids were mainly focused around Raqqa, the area where IS militants are strongest.
Cruise missiles were also fired into the area from two US ships in the Red Sea.
These attacks in Syria follow 190 air strikes targeting IS in Iraq since August.
No, this military action has the support of Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates, but we don't think these nations have contributed any military firepower at this stage.
The Ministry of Defence said discussions over Britain's involvement in air strikes in Syria are "ongoing" but there has been no decision "yet".
David Cameron is expected to get MPs together on Friday and ask them to approve British involvement in air strikes against IS forces.
Yes, but in 2013 the debate was about using military force against President Assad.
That followed chemical attacks on civilians, blamed on Syrian government forces.
The UK government lost a vote on whether to join any US-led air strikes and a few days later America also decided not to intervene.
So on that occasion Britain was considering air strikes to help rebel forces, like the Free Syria Army, in their fight against Assad. Now it's considering strikes on anti-Assad forces.
The difference is Islamic State fighters want a lot more than the end of President Assad's regime.
IS fighters want to keep control of a huge area of land across Syria and Iraq and they are using brutal methods to get their way.
IS has released videos showing dozens of Iraqi troops being killed and ancient religious buildings being destroyed.
Children and women have been kidnapped.
Civilians have been threatened with crucifixion.
The group has murdered three western hostages since August: American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and British aid worker David Haines.
Because IS fighters knew these strikes were coming, the key question is how much have they adapted and prepared for the onslaught.
US military officials have already said the raids, which targeted training camps, supply depots and vehicles, were "very, very successful".
Shashank Joshi, an expert on military strategy at the Royal United Services Institute, said: "Given IS's headquarters and most of its wealth-producing assets are in Syria, it's extremely important that they are targeted across both countries [Syria and Iraq].
"In order to weaken and eventually defeat IS you have to take them on on both sides of what is a very porous border."
Opinion on Facebook is divided as to whether Britain should help the US and its allies.
Anthony Skelton posted: "We should stand up and fight this evil. Like a fire, we should stub out this horrible evil before it spreads like a wildfire and threatens us all."
Michael Doherty disagrees. He commented: "We can't afford to go war... Acts of war should be public vote."
Phil Rothera also opposes British intervention. He wrote: "Fed up of policing the world. This is not a conflict we want to get involved in."
Ryan, 22, from Cheltenham texted Newsbeat to urge the government to approve action by UK forces.
He wrote: "I think intervention in the Middle East is a must, our country is under a direct security threat from IS and terrorism.
"I don't agree with war but the threats are too great to ignore, I think there's enough grounds to start bombings.
"We wouldn't ignore it if it was our doorstep would we?"

John Soares, 51, was convicted of repeatedly firing an air gun at Martine Almansa at their Ashford home in 2003.
The BBC tracked Soares to the French Indian Ocean territory of Reunion after he posted images on social media.
On Tuesday, French judges rejected a European Arrest Warrant issued by Kent Police.
A spokesman for the force said it was due to "incompatibilities between the French and UK justice systems".
Soares was taken into custody in June and extradition was being sought by Kent Police.
Under French law, a defendant has an automatic right to appeal, whereas in the UK the appeal must be made on a specific point of law.
In the UK, Soares would have had no right to appeal his sentence due to the length of time that has elapsed since his 2012 trial.
Kent Police said the UK authorities would continue to try to secure Soares' arrest.
Soares told BBC South East's Colin Campbell he was seeking a lawyer to challenge his conviction, and remained in Reunion unable to afford to make the return journey to France.
He said he had evidence which he believed will help clear his name.
Soares had been released on bail before failing to appear for trial in 2004 and again in 2012.
He had been on the run until an arrest in 2011.
Following court delays, he was again released on bail in February 2012, surrendered his passport but managed to escape abroad.
In May 2012, Maidstone Crown Court tried Soares in his absence for grievous bodily harm and sentenced him to 12 years in jail.
He was rebuked last week by Downing Street after suggesting the country backed "proxy wars" in the Middle East.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon played down reports of a rift between Mr Johnson and Theresa May, accusing the media of misreporting.
Labour insisted that Mr Johnson, who is currently on a visit to Saudi Arabia, had been "slapped down".
Speaking at a joint press conference in Riyadh with Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubeir, the foreign secretary said: "I'm here to emphasise the friendship that exists between the UK and Saudi Arabia, and that is something that is developing and expanding.
"And it's also fair to say that we believe in candour in our relationship. Now is the time for us to talk about the positive things that we are doing together."
Mr Johnson also met King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud.
The discussions in Riyadh covered counter-terrorism, the conflict in Syria, and the war in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia is leading a multi-national coalition air campaign.
Mr Johnson said he understood Saudi security fears over the situation in Yemen - where the Houthi rebel movement, which champions Yemen's Zaidi Shia Muslim minority, has taken control of large parts of the country.
However, BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said the foreign secretary had repeated his profound concern about human suffering among Yemenis.
He also highlighted Mr Johnson's use of the word "candour", which he said was "usually diplomatic code for telling people something they don't want to hear".
However, our correspondent said contrary to many people's expectations Mr Johnson's visit "appears to have passed off smoothly" and will have brought the two countries "closer together than ever before".
Speaking after the meeting, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Jubeir said Mr Johnson's comments about "proxy wars" had been taken out of context by the media and the matter was now closed.
A Foreign Office spokesman said the meeting between Mr Johnson and King Salman had been "warm and genial", adding: "They covered a broad sweep of history of UK-Saudi relations and shared interests in the region."
Last week, the Guardian newspaper published footage of a meeting in Rome at which the foreign secretary had said Saudi Arabia and Iran were involved in "proxy wars being fought the whole time" in the Middle East.
But the prime minister's spokeswoman later said that Mrs May wanted to strengthen relations with Saudi Arabia, including supporting its efforts to help the "legitimate" government of Yemen.
She added: "Those are the prime minister's views - the foreign secretary's views are not the government's position on, for example, Saudi Arabia and its role in the region."
When questioned over this rebuke on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show, Sir Michael Fallon said: "The media, with great respect, are starting to over-textualise every remark that [Mr Johnson] makes.
"Downing Street was asked whether this misreporting of what Boris had said, whether that was government policy. Downing Street simply answered the question."
He added: "Boris's comment, as we have already established, was taken out of context in the reporting that implied we didn't support Saudi Arabia."
The defence secretary also said: "The government is absolutely clear that what Saudi Arabia is entitled to do is defend itself."
Also speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, Labour's shadow home secretary Diane Abbott said: "In over 20 years in Parliament, I've never heard a foreign secretary slapped down the way Theresa May slapped down Boris."
She added that Mr Johnson had been "right" in his reported comments, saying Saudi Arabia had been involved in "proxy wars" and "human rights abuses".
This may sound great for Labour and Ed Miliband. But it is in fact pretty much his worst nightmare.
How so?
Well, Labour last week put at the heart of its manifesto that if elected it would get the government's deficit and debt down in the course of the next parliament, and to that end there would be cuts in non-protected public services (or everything but schools, health and overseas aid).
It did that partly because all its polling showed that in England it would need to demonstrate what it thinks of as "fiscal credibility" to get a hearing from undecided voters.
So it is quite definitely not an act of amity and solidarity with its putative Labour brothers for the SNP, led by Nicola Sturgeon, to tell voters that she'll get the Tories out, get Labour in and make sure Labour won't stick to its fiscal promises.
The great fear for Labour is that its recent progress in England will be derailed, while its collapsing vote in Scotland remains shattered.
Which if you are a Tory, you may think is great. And in fact the Tories are currently shouting from the rooftops about Labour being bossed by the SNP.
But the Conservatives could yet live to regret the consequence of campaigning on the supposed poisonous embrace offered by Sturgeon to Miliband - because it brings the risk for the UK of constitutional and economic crisis.
How so?
Well, the Tories may hope that by alleging a Labour government would be backseat-driven from Edinburgh they'll persuade enough floating voters to switch to them, and secure an overall majority.
However all the opinions currently demonstrate that's profoundly unlikely - it would require a shift of votes late in a campaign on a scale for which I can find no modern precedent.
A far more plausible outcome is that the Tories end up with a few more seats than Labour, on the back of a slightly bigger share of the vote - and would therefore have first dibs on trying to form a government, under our constitutional convention.
But if the SNP end up getting the number of seats that currently looks likely - not a million miles from 50 - and the Liberal Democrats slump to less than 30 (which also looks likely, right now), it may be impossible for the Tories to form either a workable coalition or an effective minority government on the so-called confidence-and-supply basis (whereby it would secure the backing of smaller parties for measures crucial to its ability to govern).
At that point, Labour would presumably have its chance to form a government. But it has ruled out a formal coalition with the SNP. And it is very difficult to see how it could form any kind of more loose partnership with the SNP which would not look profoundly undemocratic to many English citizens, insulting to its residual loyalists in Scotland and therefore lethal to its long-term reputation.
Could Labour form a credible government if it had fewer seats and fewer votes than the Tories, and having spent its campaign repudiating the advances of the SNP? That seems implausible.
Out of this mess, perhaps a very odd and paradoxical alliance could be forged, as Robert Harris mused in yesterday's Sunday Times, between a Tory party recognising that union with Scotland no longer serves its own existential interests and an SNP whose priority is to secure constitutional independence from the rest of the UK coupled with a continued monetary union.
As Harris pointed out, alliances as strange have been forged in our parliamentary history - and the logic of securing power can trump ideological and emotional differences.
More likely however is that the UK would need another general election in short order.
Which all sounds a bit inconvenient, but from an economic perspective could be a bit worse than that. Business leaders tell me they would expect an investment hiatus by companies during the unstable interregnum, bankers tell me overseas investors would shun the UK and city traders anticipate a sharp and destabilising fall in the pound; .
It would be the equivalent of a big chill hitting Britain, that temporarily undermines economic activity.
So because of the way that Scotland's resources are determined by the UK's budget, via the block-grant arrangements, it may be completely reasonable for the SNP to campaign in this election to end austerity for the whole of the UK.
But the consequences of its decision to exercise that logic are unpredictable.
A fresh row broke out at the council on Tuesday night after unionist councillors said there was a "considerable financial shortfall" in the proposal.
Sinn Féin councillors accused unionist politicians of "blocking the project".
The new project would cost £2.8m.
The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) said it was committed to funding £2.5m towards the project.
The remaining money needed to deliver the project totalled £339,000 and that had been approved by the regulator of the Landfill Community Fund but required council agreement.
Ulster Unionist councillor Daryll Wilson told BBC Radio Foyle that his party supported the project but would not agree to providing the "shortfall" unless it came from DCAL minister Carál Ní Chuilín.
Sinn Féin councillor Sean McGlinchey said unionist councillors had made a "sectarian decision".
The Sinn Féin minister Ms Ní Chuilín said she was "extremely disappointed".
A public meeting was held in Dungiven on Wednesday night. Ms Ní Chuilín did not attend.
Members of the public, sport enthusiasts and politicians voiced their anger.
Ryan O'Connor, a double amputee from Dungiven and keen sportsman, said: "I'm very angry.
"I thought everything was getting the all clear. I was ready to get involved with the new facilities.
"There's no hope at the moment. Councillors are supposed to be helping the people. It's ridiculous."
Paul McCloskey, a former British and European boxing champion, said: "It's an unbelievable shock.
"There's no real answers that make any sense as to why it's not going ahead at this stage. It's a disgrace."
One woman who lives in Dungiven said: "I'm very angry.
"Some of the councillors don't seem to care about Dungiven or what we get.
"They need to give our children what they deserve."
Sinn Fein MLA Cathal O hOisin said: "Councillors have a duty for the provision of sports services and facilities.
"If they are not fulfilling that duty then that needs to be addressed. In that case it needs addressed legally.
"We may have to look a judicial review. We will see in the coming weeks."
The UK - by far the most capable European military player, along with France - has always been a brake on such an idea, fearing unnecessary duplication with Nato.
The UK went along with EU plans up to a point. A British army light mechanised infantry unit (2nd Battalion the Yorkshire regiment) currently forms the core of one of the EU's 1,500-strong battle groups: a rapid-reaction force capable of being deployed to a crisis zone at short notice.
In fact over recent years the UK has also stepped up defence co-operation with France - a natural partner, given the scale of their military ambitions.
Indeed, defence was the sector in which the UK was perhaps the strongest EU player, in part to compensate for Britain's absence from other core issues of European business - the common currency, the project for ever greater political union and so on.
But Britain's view was that EU defence co-operation should only go so far. Nothing should be done to reduce the primacy of Nato and money should not be wasted on duplicating things that the transatlantic alliance was already doing.
This - broadly speaking - is the US view too.
What matters in Washington is European defence spending and capability. The willingness (or as he would see it unwillingness) of America's European partners to pay more for defence is a key element in the Republican candidate Donald Trump's critique of Nato.
But now, with the UK in the departure lounge for EU exit, a number of European leaders are reviving the idea of a stronger EU defence identity - summed up in the phrase, "a European army".
This has long been the ambition of the most ardent eurocrats. Back in March 2015, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker declared that a common European army was needed to address the problem that the EU, as an international player, was not "taken entirely seriously" in the world - not least in Moscow.
The Brexit vote has opened the floodgates to the idea. The prime ministers of Hungary and the Czech Republic have urged the EU to build its own army. Only this week, German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen, who was visiting Lithuania, declared that "it's time to move forward to a European defence union which is basically a 'Schengen of defence'."
This reference to "Schengen", the EU's open borders agreement, prompted one defence expert I know to comment wryly that it was pretty rich to talk about a "Schengen of defence" when Schengen had effectively allowed thousands of refugees to "invade" EU territory.
But an EU army is back on the agenda and it is unlikely to go away.
Nato fears fast-moving Russian troops
Is the West losing its edge on defence?
The UK's Brexit vote was a blow to the EU's sense of itself.
The EU has already been battered by its failures to deal adequately with a series of crises: from the Greek bailout to the wave of refugees heading for Europe's shores. It is perhaps understandable that the EU's advocates are looking to bolster its standing by moving ahead in other areas.
But it is crucial to realise that there is more politics here than strategic thought. What exactly does "a European army" mean? Sending soldiers into harm's way is perhaps the ultimate sovereign decision a government can take.
Countries enter into alliances like Nato (or indeed the EU itself) because pooling resources provides greater capability and thus security.
But there is no Nato army as such, just national forces integrated into a common command structure. They only become Nato forces in the event of a conflict.
Sections of the British press that hyperventilate whenever the idea of an EU army comes up miss this essential point: that the term "EU army" is largely meaningless.
But more European defence there will be. There is already a patchwork of defence arrangements - some bilateral, some multilateral, some in the EU and many involving Nato as a whole.
If this leads to more defence and better defence it is probably a good thing. If it leads to political posturing and duplication then the sceptics may be right - and the only person who may be happy is Russian President Vladimir Putin, watching it all from the Kremlin.
A mother and her three children were killed when their home collapsed in the northern city of Cap-Haitian.
Officials said 300mm (almost one foot) of rain had fallen in just 48 hours.
The flooding comes just over a month after Hurricane Matthew devastated large parts of the country and killed more than 500 people.
Many neighbourhoods of Cap-Haitien are flooded.
A man died while trying to cross a river in the city of Perches and a woman was buried under a collapsing wall in Port de Paix.
Three people also died in the beach resort Cormier.
Rhodri Talfan Davies said BBC Wales had been "going through this savings wringer" for nine years.
The broadcaster is aiming to save £9m by 2022, against the background of a "cash-flat" licence fee agreement.
Mr Davies told a committee that new investment, particularly in English language television, was planned but the savings must be identified first.
He said he hoped £3m could be saved from efficiencies as a result of the organisation's move to new premises in Cardiff city centre, and a further £3m from management costs and procurement.
That would leave £3m worth of savings to be found in "content areas".
"It doesn't mean necessarily cuts in services, it may mean we can identify further efficiencies," Mr Davies told the assembly's Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee.
"But it's tough because we've been going through this savings wringer for the last nine years.
"That's why we've got to do this carefully, because the last thing the committee's going to thank us for is to secure new investment in one part of the forest whilst you see a diminution of service in others."
Earlier on Thursday, S4C chief executive Ian Jones admitted to the committee that the number of repeats on the Welsh language channel was "far too high" at 57% of its output.
Goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin is a doubt with the shoulder injury that forced him off in the win over Birmingham, so Stephen Bywater is on standby.
Leeds United midfielder Ronaldo Vieira could feature after missing the last two games through illness.
Full-back Charlie Taylor is pushing for a recall but centre-back Liam Cooper sits out the fifth of his six-game ban.
The cross-party group of MPs is urging the government to make radical changes to the laws on prostitution in England and Wales.
Brothel-keeping rules should also be modified so that prostitutes can share premises rather than risk working alone, the committee said.
The Home Office said it would carefully consider the recommendations.
The MPs also called for previous convictions and cautions for prostitution to be deleted from sex workers' records, saying it created an insurmountable barrier for those wishing to move into "regular" work.
Their interim report said laws should be changed immediately but stressed that powers to prosecute people who use brothels to control or exploit sex workers should be kept.
In England, Wales and Scotland, selling and paying for sex is not against the law but many activities linked to it, such as brothel-keeping, kerb-crawling and soliciting sex in a public place, are outlawed.
In 2014, Northern Ireland became the first part of the UK to pass legislation making the purchase of sexual services illegal.

If the Home Affairs committee had chosen to sit on the fence over what Keith Vaz, the chairman, says is a "polarising" subject, few would have blamed them.
Prostitution raises complex moral, social and legal issues that successive governments have shied away from confronting.
Instead the MPs have been bold, coming down firmly on the side of decriminalisation. They have not closed the door on a "sex buyer's law" either, simply saying they need to assess the impact of that approach in other countries, including Northern Ireland and France.
However, the chances of the recommendations being acted on are slim: the government is in flux and when the leadership question is settled there are likely to be other priorities for the Home Secretary, whoever that may be.
The committee raised concerns that treating soliciting as an offence can prevent sex workers from seeking help to leave prostitution, and expose them to abuse and violence.
It added that the current law on brothel-keeping means some are often too afraid of prosecution to work together at the same location and as a result often compromise their safety by working alone.
Labour MP Keith Vaz, who chairs the committee, said there was "universal agreement" that elements of the present law are unsatisfactory.
"Treating soliciting as a criminal offence is having an adverse effect, and it is wrong that sex workers, who are predominantly women, should be penalised and stigmatised in this way," he said.
The committee said it would continue its inquiry by looking at whether laws on buying sex should also be changed.
It said it was seeking further evidence on the impacts of the recently introduced sex buyer laws in Northern Ireland and France, and models of regulation used in New Zealand, and other parts of Europe to make a better assessment for its final report.
The Home Affairs Select committee report said:
An attempt by former Labour Home Office minister Fiona Mactaggart to change the law to criminalise paying for sex was defeated in 2014.
Sex workers had criticised the proposal, saying criminalising their clients will make their work more dangerous.
Laura Watson, of the English Collective of Prostitutes, called for "an immediate moratorium on arrests, raids and prosecutions".
She added: "Civil orders against street based sex workers such as Section 35 dispersal orders must also be abolished and the Home Office should withdraw from cases we are fighting, where Romanian sex workers are facing deportation on grounds that sex work is not a 'legitimate form of work'."
Karen Bradley, minister for preventing abuse, exploitation and crime, said: "The government is committed to tackling the harm and exploitation that can be associated with prostitution, and believes that people who want to leave should be given every opportunity to find routes out.
"We need to ensure the law enables the police and others to tackle these harms, and target those who exploit vulnerable people involved in prostitution.
"We will carefully consider the recommendations made by the Home Affairs Select committee inquiry and respond in due course."

Allardyce's five-month tenure at Crystal Palace ended in May, with the 62-year-old citing the demands of club coaching as a factor.
And while the former Bolton, Blackburn and Newcastle boss has no appetite for another club job, he has not retired.
"If I have to consider anything, it would have to be an international position," he told Talksport.
"It is less demanding than the Premier League [in which] the tension and the pressure is huge.
"When you are on international duty, it is all focused on you, but of course after that months go by before you meet up again, so that would maybe suit me, if I am enticed back into the game."
Allardyce left his post as England manager by mutual agreement last September after only one match in charge.
It followed a Daily Telegraph investigation claiming he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.
The FA said his conduct "was inappropriate". He apologised, adding "entrapment had won".
Allardyce then replaced Alan Pardew in December on a two-and-half-year deal, with Palace one point above the Premier League relegation zone.
He led the club to eight wins in 21 games to guide them to a 14th-place finish.
A Courtney Whyte header and an own goal from Gill Inglis gave them a 2-0 lead, but Lori Gardner's lob made for a nervy finish.
Next week, they face Glasgow City, who began their title defence with a 7-0 win over Stirling University.
Hibernian defeated Rangers Ladies 4-2, while Aberdeen and Spartans drew 2-2.
Celtic midfielder Sarah Crilly admitted her side need to shake off the nerves if they are to beat City next week at the K Park training academy.
The visitors dominated the 90 minutes but had goalkeeper Megan Cunningham to thank for denying Laura Gallen with a point-blank save to keep the points safe.
Crilly told BBC Scotland: "We definitely made it difficult for ourselves.
"We were in control of the game but were a bit shaky. Obviously, with it being the first game, everybody is going to be nervous.
"But, overall, it's not good enough. We need to pick our game up next week when we play Glasgow City, but the three points are the most important thing.
"We were wanting to test the goalkeeper a bit more, most of the chances we got were outside the box.
"We need to be creating more, we just need the final ball, but something is going to click eventually."
Celtic took the lead on the half hour mark when Whyte was first to Richard's corner and headed in off the far post.
The goal lifted the visitors and suddenly the chances started to come. Ruesha Littlejohn fired straight at the goalkeeper from the edge of the box then Crilly could not keep her shot down when played through.
Cunningham made the first of two great saves, tipping Deborah McLeod's bullet header over the bar.
Littlejohn sent a free-kick over the bar before Hopkins pushed a Ewens volley wide, and Celtic eventually got the second goal their pressure deserved on 64 minutes when Heather Richards' driven ball across the box bounced off Accies defender Inglis and into the net.
Hamilton had barely been seen as an attacking force, but they rallied and Gardner pulled them back into the game when she raced clear of the Celtic defence then beat Cunningham with a glorious lob.
It was almost 2-2 when Gallen had the chance a yard out, but Cunningham blocked her effort on the goal line.
Glasgow City, seeking their 11th straight Premier League title, started with a thumping 7-0 win over Stirling University at the Excelsior Stadium.
Pre-season signing Savannah Jordan scored her second hat-trick in her second competitive game for City, while Ireland international Noelle Murray, captain Leanne Ross, defender Keeva Keenan and second-half substitute Kodie Hay were also on the scoresheet.
City head coach Scott Booth said: "It was pleasing to take the three points today and score so many.
"The players worked really hard and I am sure they will keep getting better and better in the coming weeks."
Two late goals from Rangers gave Hibs a scare, but they held on to win 4-2 at New Tinto Park.
The visitors were 3-0 up at half-time through Abi Harrison, Lucy Graham and Siobhan Hunter.
When Chelsea Cornet made it 4-0 with 20 minutes to go, it looked like the points were safe, but within seven minutes, Rangers had pulled two back through a Claire Gemmell free-kick and a Hannah Robertson goal.
Aberdeen roared back from two goals down to claim a point at home to Spartans.
Colette Cavanagh and Carla Boyce gave Spartans a healthy half-time lead, but Hannah Stewart won then scored a penalty before again firing home from the spot after Jo Fraser was fouled.
The Dons could have won it, with Samantha McDonald volleying off the crossbar.

Fifteen-year-old Nihal Bitla was the face of India's awareness campaign against progeria.
Bitla made headlines while trying to locate 60 other Indian progeria sufferers to participate in a clinical trial in Boston with him.
He ran an active social media campaign to raise awareness about the disease.
Most recently he fronted an awareness campaign called #HatsOnForProgeria, where he appeared with a group of supporters at Mumbai's iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji railway station.
He had also appeared at a #RunForProgeria event in the southern city of Bangalore.
Bitla shot into the limelight after he met Bollywood actor Aamir Khan in December after the Facebook page "Humans of Bombay" highlighted his story and the fact that he was a "super fan" of the star.
He died in hospital on Tuesday in the southern state of Telangana, where he had gone to attend a wedding.
Media reports said he may have become dehydrated in the extreme heat there.
Indian social media is full of tributes to Bitla, with many calling him a "fighter" and an "inspiration".
Bishops know they must hold their tongues during elections.
The mainstream churches produced manifestos in the form of advice to the faithful on the big issues of the campaign, but both the Church of England and the Roman Catholic hierarchy published their commentaries well in advance of electoral battle being joined.
The challenge they face with these pre-election documents is saying something worth hearing without laying themselves open to the charge of meddling in politics in a partisan way.
This time the Church of England in particular took heavy flak for the mildly left-wing flavour of its pronouncements on food banks and the like.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, may have a proven track record in business and finance, but when it comes to economics, religious leaders are always vulnerable to the charge that they are sounding off on a subject they do not understand.
Immigration and asylum, on the other hand, fall much more easily within the clerical comfort zone; they raises issues - about our common humanity and the extent of our generosity of spirit - which are more obviously "moral" in character.
When the Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nichols, launched his bishops' election letter to Catholics last month he spoke about migration in forthright terms.
On the Sunday programme he condemned the tone of our political debate about immigration, and in another interview that same morning he talked about the recent tragedy at sea.
He told the Andrew Marr Show: "These are people we're talking about, the people who drown in the Mediterranean trying to get into Europe, the people caged in Calais because they're desperate. We have to somehow keep the human person at the front of all these issues."
This weekend the Anglican bishop of Manchester, the Right Reverend David Walker, told the Observer that Britain has a particular responsibility to refugees who flee Africa and the Middle East because this country's foreign policy has contributed to the instability which drove some of them from their homes.
"The moral cost of our overseas interventions", he wrote in the paper's online edition, "has to include accepting a fair share of the victims of the wars to which we have contributed".
"Violence and conflict have led to the massive displacement of people, many of whom seek asylum or refuge. There are also workers and students from overseas who contribute much to the common good of our country.
"Indeed, most people who settle in this country find work in order to bring up their families and contribute to society's well-being.
"Immigration is a highly emotive issue and every country needs a policy to control immigration, as well as a positive commitment to policies that facilitate the integration of migrants into the mainstream of society.
"There is a great danger of blaming immigrants for the ills of society. We support policies which fairly regulate immigration and uphold the human rights of all, recognising the rights, dignity and protection of refugees and migrants."
It was an unusually political comment from a bishop at this stage of an election campaign, and it reflects the way the deaths of nearly 1,000 people trying to reach Europe earlier this month have shaken up the kaleidoscope of public perceptions.
What happened was so ghastly that it has turned migration - for a while at least - into an issue that looks more moral than political.
That was also reflected in the way European Union leaders reversed their decision on funding for rescue operations at their emergency summit last week.
When they decided not to support the Italian Mare Nostrum programme last autumn it was presented - and interpreted in the press - as a political decision, a pragmatic step to discourage refugees and calm domestic anxiety about uncontrolled immigration.
In the light of what has now happened it has instead been widely represented as a terrible moral choice with tragic consequences. So Europe's governments - our own included - changed their minds.
This is not to say that the moral arguments all run one way.
On this weekend's Sunday programme Major General Jim Molan, who helped design Australia's famously tough border control policy, argued that the really moral course is deterrence.
Australia turns boats back and detains refugees in camps beyond its own borders. Anyone who attempts to reach the country by sea is disqualified from settling there.
As a result the flow of boat people has dried up, so refugees are not dying in the waters between Indonesia and Australia in the way they are dying between Africa and Europe.
"The question I put to Europe," the general said, "Is what moral responsibility does Europe have if inadequate policy causes loss of life at sea?"
He was debating with Michel Roy, the head of the Catholic network Caritas Internationalis; Mr Roy endorsed General Molan's judgement that the moral priority is to save lives, even though he regards some aspects of the Australian policy as "obnoxious". Moral debates can be as cloudy and complicated as political ones.
The impact of this month's terrible tragedy may not last for long, but for the moment an ambition which all church leaders put near the top of their election wish-lists has been achieved; the tone of the debate about migration and asylum has changed.
The press tends to ignore the election manifestos which the bishops publish because they are framed in moral terms, and do not deal in practical politics.
Perhaps we should all go back and read them again.

Evans, 25, was freed last month after serving two and a half years for rape.
A Blades statement said: "After due consideration, the board has decided to respond favourably to the PFA's request to allow Evans to train at the club."
However, they are "not prepared at this time" to decide whether to re-sign the Wales international striker.
The League One club's statement continued: "The club acknowledges receipt of a request from the PFA to the effect that the club consider allowing Mr Evans, who is a PFA member, to train at the club's facilities.
"According to the request, this training would be with a view to enabling Mr Evans to get back to a level of fitness, which might enable him to find employment in his chosen trade.
"This request has come to the club, because it is the last club at which Mr Evans was registered before his conviction.
"The club agrees with the recent statements of the PFA, to the effect that professional footballers should be treated as equals before the law, including in circumstances where they seek to return to work following periods of incarceration.
"There can be no place for 'mob justice'."
Sheffield United's statement was released at 18:00 GMT, eight hours after the news of Evans training with the club was broken by BBC Sport.

The Football League said that "while we fully understand the gravity of the offence", if a request was received from any of its member clubs to register Evans, they would "have no option but to accept it".
Evans, who maintains his innocence, has scored 59 goals in 167 appearances during spells with Manchester City, Norwich City and Sheffield United.
He was sentenced to five years in April 2012 for raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room in May 2011, having been found guilty by a jury at Caernarfon Crown Court. At his trial, he admitted to having sex with the woman but denied rape.
Evans was released from prison in October after serving half of his sentence. He has not offered any apology to his victim.
He has so far declined any request to be interviewed by the BBC, but released a video statement on his personal website, in which he said he wanted to play again.
An inquiry into his conviction is to be fast-tracked by the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the body which examines potential miscarriages of justice.
Almost 157,000 people have signed a petition urging Sheffield United not to take the player back after the club chose not to renew his contract following his conviction. His deal expired during his incarceration.
Campaign groups have criticised the decision to allow him to train with his former club.
Rape Crisis England & Wales spokeswoman Katie Russell said: "Sheffield United has given no indication that they feel they have any responsibility towards the huge numbers of sexual violence survivors who follow their club or attend its matches.
"It has become clear that many people still consider rape in some contexts and circumstances more 'real', more harmful than others, and believe some rape survivors are therefore more 'worthy' of empathy than others."
End Violence Against Women Coalition spokeswoman Sarah Green said: "We are appalled that top football club Sheffield United are taking the first step to allowing an unrepentant convicted rapist back into their team this week.
"Footballers are critical role models for young men and women in particular, and the player concerned is now set to return to top-flight football when he has shown no remorse for his crime."
Sources maintain that Blades manager Nigel Clough is still to decide whether he wants the striker in his squad, and insist that allowing Evans to train with them does not necessarily mean he will be offered a fresh contract.
However, Clough has said that any decision on the convicted rapist is one for United's co-owners, Prince Abdullah Bin Musa'ad Bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia, and Kevin McCabe.
Meanwhile, television presenter Charlie Webster announced on Newsnight her resignation as a Sheffield United club patron following the club's decision to allow the player to train.
"Sheffield United are yet to make a decision or acknowledge the severity of Ched Evans's crime," said Webster, who previously revealed she was a victim of sexual assault and is a campaigner against domestic violence.

Competitors need technique and stamina in abundance as they cross-country ski for up to 20km.
They must also be able to lower their heart rate enough to hold the gun steady as they aim at a tiny target - with the threat of extra distance to ski or time penalties if they miss.
Becoming a biathlete requires one of the most punishing training regimes, turning biathletes into some of the fittest competitors in winter sport.
The cross-country skiing element offers a low-impact full-body workout alongside an excellent test for the cardiovascular system. Shooting requires control and balance, particularly managing your heart rate and breathing to complete the shots in the time required.
The British Biathlon Union (BBU) is the sport's governing body in Britain. The BBU website offers a handy guide to getting started in biathlon (pdf).
There are currently four clubs offering biathlon facilities and training to those who want to start competing or participating. They are Cairngorm Biathlon & Nordic Ski Club (CBNSC), Wessex Biathlon & Nordic Ski Club (WBNSC), Budleigh Farm Target Shooting Club (BFTSC) and East Grange Biathlon Centre (EGBC).
Biathlon was originally used as an alternative form of training for the Norwegian military, and what could be considered the first biathlon club was formed in Norway in 1861: the Trysil Rifle and Ski Club was used as a means to promote the military and national defence.
Biathlon was present as an Olympic sport in the first Winter Games of 1924, but was initially called "military patrol" as a reference to those roots.
Biathlon regained its Olympic status in 1960 as a men-only event, while women's biathlon was introduced in 1992.

David Cary, 54, sued the force for discrimination, claiming it did not properly investigate allegations he was verbally abused by a neighbour in 2007.
It amounted to discrimination on the grounds of his sexuality, he claimed.
The case was due to be decided in the Court of Appeal, but Scotland Yard has apologised and agreed to compensation.
Mr Cary, from west London, said the Met had "shamelessly dug their heels in for nine years", and the delays amounted to a "travesty of justice and professionalism".
BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said it was a "landmark" legal case.
The case dated back to February 2007, when Mr Cary told police he had been verbally abused by a neighbour as he rode home on his bicycle.
According to Mr Cary, he was called a "poof" and a "queer". However, officers investigated the report and decided to take no further action.
He then lodged a complaint about the way the force had treated his report - which officers dismissed.
Having appealed to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) twice - and had his complaint rejected on both occasions - Mr Cary began legal action against both the Met and the IPCC in January 2010.
The IPCC agreed to settle the case in July 2012, however, the Met continued to defend the claim.
The case was due to be heard in the Court of Appeal on Monday.
However, Scotland Yard offered to settle the case and issued an apology before the hearing - more than nine years after the original incident.
The force admitted Mr Cary's original complaint could have been handled "more professionally and sympathetically", saying there had been "shortcomings" in the investigation.
It said the force would "learn and implement" lessons from the case, but added that it had "dramatically changed" how it investigated homophobic crime.
However, Mr Cary said the Met had "tolerated" homophobic abuse due to its failure to investigate the allegations.
"I felt belittled and treated like a second-class citizen. I felt they prolonged the case in the hope of wearing me down.
"Without the best legal representation and campaigning support that I had, they might have managed it," he added.
Jane Deighton, Mr Cary's solicitor, welcomed the resolution of this case.
She called for an end to "knee-jerk reaction into defensive mode when civilians bring police misconduct to the attention of the service".
It is effectively a 0.5% tax on businesses with a wage bill of more then £3m.
Both public and private sector employers will be affected including manufacturers, government departments, education authorities and health trusts.
It is unclear what benefit this will bring to businesses or the executive.
In England, when an employer pays the levy they get vouchers to spend on apprenticeships.
That is not the case in Northern Ireland, as the matter is devolved.
As there is no economy minister at the moment, no decision has been made as to how this money will be spent.
Aodhán Connolly, director of Northern Ireland Retail Consortium, said: "Businesses in Northern Ireland risk feeling short-changed as the first bill arrives.
"Whilst businesses in England have a transparent account which they can access and direct towards training, equivalent businesses in Northern Ireland are paying what appears to be little more than just another employment tax."
Last year, the former economy and finance ministers, Simon Hamilton and Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, said the introduction of the levy was "bad news for Northern Ireland public and private sector organisations with a pay bill of over £3m".
They added: "There is no overall increase to the executive's budget."
While there is no exact figure as to how many organisations will be affected in Northern Ireland, HMRC estimates about 500 private sector companies and 50 public sector bodies could be impacted locally.
The Department of the Economy opened a consultation on the levy last December and received 86 responses that they say they are in the process of analysing it.
Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews said local authorities will get £4.12bn in their block grants - an overall cut of 3.4% on this year.
Ministers insist none of Wales' 22 councils will see an individual cut of more than 4.5%.
Mr Andrews said he accepted the settlement was "challenging" but was a result of reductions in UK funding.
Funding for each local authorities is decided according to a formula, taking into account factors such as the number of school pupils, the age profile and size of the local population.
It means there have been relative winners and losers when it comes to all the cuts.
Ceredigion council sees the biggest cut of 4.5%, after statistics used to estimate poverty levels, such as the number of benefit claimants, improved.
Neath Port Talbot has the smallest cut of 2.4%, helped by an increase in its number of primary and secondary school pupils.
Mr Andrews said: "The settlement I am announcing today is challenging, but this is a consequence of the large scale budget reductions being imposed by the UK Government.
"The Welsh government's budget for 2015-16 will be around 10% lower in real terms compared with 2010-11.
"However, unlike England, we have protected local authorities in Wales from the bulk of these cuts over the past five years."
This is the provisional local government settlement.
There will now be a six week consultation, with Mr Andrews due to announce the final figures in December.
However, there are usually only small changes between the provisional and final settlement.
Conservative shadow local government minister Janet Finch-Saunders described Mr Andrews' announcement as a "tough Labour settlement", arguing Labour ministers should have frozen council taxes, a policy followed in England and Scotland.
"This would have eased the pressure on hardworking families and facilitated the prevention of huge hikes in bills," she added.
Plaid Cymru finance spokesman Alun Ffred Jones said: "The local government settlement is a brutal blow for our front line services, and it will be felt in every home and every community.
"These cuts are driven by the UK government's cruel austerity agenda, and are being delivered by the Labour government in Cardiff Bay."

Football's world governing body wants to be seen as "modern, trusted and professional" by December 2018.
But changing the World Cup format has been deferred pending a further study.
A proposed move to include 40 teams in the tournament from 2026 - up from the 32 that have taken part since 1998 - has been supported by Asia and African members.
However, a number of executive committee members, including England's David Gill, insisted the administration needed to provide a detailed report into the commercial and footballing implications before final approval is given.
Since scandal engulfed Fifa in May, when seven of its officials were arrested, it has come under scrutiny, with sponsors pressing for a change in culture.
Thursday's meeting of the organisation's executive committee - which was preceded by the arrests of two Fifa vice-presidents - outlined measures it hopes will restore its integrity by December 2018.
The proposals must be ratified by 209 member associations in February.
A timetable has been set for implementing the changes, which include:
"Fifa's executive committee have concluded a two-day meeting looking at reforms. They are determined they have the right recipe to reform the governing body.
"They want to be a trusted body by 2018, that's their ambition. They now have to convince the member associations in February they have the right reforms in place to be just that."
David Gill, Fifa vice-president: "The overall package of reforms has been very well thought out and they are very much a step in the right direction."
Francois Carrard, chairman of the Fifa reform committee: "Under the Fifa statutes there is only one woman who can be elected which is out of time. "We propose each continent must have at least one woman in the future council so instead of one we shall have six women."
Moya Dodd, vice-president of the Asian Football Association, on more female committee members: "We've seen a deluge of support from people in football and beyond. From Billie Jean King to UN women. Why? Because it's 2015, it's fair, and diversity leads to better decisions."

Fifteen officials issued an open letter voicing "anxiety and opposition".
The PiS has appointed five loyal judges to the 15-member court in a move it says is aimed at tackling cronyism.
The head of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, has compared events in the country to a "coup d'etat".
Poland's Prime Minister, Beata Szydlo, called Mr Schulz's words "unacceptable" and demanded an apology.
Thousands of people marched through Warsaw to show support for the right-wing PiS on Sunday following anti-government protests on Saturday.
Critics accuse Poland's government of trying to manipulate state institutions.

Former Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz, from Civic Platform (PO), as well as former Presidents Bronislaw Komorowski and Aleksander Kwasniewski, were among the signatories of the letter published on Tuesday.
They said they were seeking to defend the court's role in upholding the constitutionality of the country's new laws.
Led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the Eurosceptic PiS has accused the court of blocking its policies.
The party has regularly come to blows with the media and the opposition since it came to power in October.
Relations with the European Union have also been strained, with Poland agreeing to financially support EU efforts to alleviate the migrants crisis but refusing to take in asylum seekers.
In an interview with German newspaper Berliner Zeitung, Poland's Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski lashed out at Germany over claims Poland had failed to show "solidarity" in the crisis.
He also complained that Nato had not stationed a unit in Poland, saying it was "because Germany cares more for the interests of Russia than the security interests of central-eastern Europe".
Officers were called after the woman's body was found at the property in Bellsmyre Avenue, Dumbarton, at about 13:40 on Thursday.
A police spokeswoman said that a post mortem examination would take place in due course to establish the exact cause of death.
The woman who died at the house is believed to be elderly.
The Inspector of Constabulary (HMICS), Derek Penman, said the force had met savings targets for its first year.
But in his annual report, he said financial challenges persist.
He said the reform had been effective, with front line policing continuing and minimal impact to the services provided to communities.
But he said local authorities should assert themselves in expressing their concerns where decisions taken nationally impact on their areas.
Police Scotland was created in April of last year by merging eight regional forces and the Scottish Crime and Drugs Enforcement Agency (SCDEA).
The Scottish government said it would lead to savings of £1.5bn over 15 years.
Mr Penman said Police Scotland is operationally effective, with crime falling to a 40-year low, and it is better placed to deal with major events than the forces it replaced.
But his report warned: "The creation of the new service was only the beginning of a major change programme and challenges remain in terms of the medium to long-term sustainability.
"Financial challenges persist and although the savings targets were achieved for 2013/14, there is a need for both Police Scotland and the SPA (Scottish Police Authority) to be clear about future structures and have transition plans that deliver sustainable savings."
The creation of the single police service was criticised by many local authorities who claimed local accountability would be reduced.
And Mr Penman said genuine engagement with communities would help the force to be successful.
His report said: "I have found early evidence that there is more equal access to specialist resources across the country.
"There is also early evidence in the production of local plans that the connection with local communities is being developed, although there is further work to be done in this area."
He called on councils to "assert themselves" to hold divisional commanders to account for the delivery of local policing plans and to voice their concerns about the impact of national policies on their own areas.
"Effective localism and genuine engagement with communities will be a critical success factor for Police Scotland and the SPA moving forward," he said.
"Some of the change required will take time to achieve, and only once implemented will it be possible to fully assess whether the intended benefits of reform have been fully realised."
An SPA spokesman said an effective legal, financial and operational merger was delivered in the first year of the new police service.
He added: "We welcome the independent view of HMICS that policing is operationally stronger and better placed to deal with major events than the legacy police forces it replaced.
The focus for the coming year will be on continuing to ensure that local policing is closely tailored to local community needs, and to developing a long-term strategy to sustain and improve policing outcomes over the next decade."
The Cavan Gaels forward switched to the Lilywhites in 2012 when he was dropped from the Breffni squad.
However, Cavan boss Terry Hyland has brought Johnston into his provisional training panel for 2016.
Midfielder David Givney and goalkeeper Alan O'Mara have also returned as Cavan prepare for their McKenna Cup opener against Armagh next month.
"Sean made himself available, we thought about it and discussed it," Hyland told the Irish Sun.
"He had an operation on an ankle injury at the start of the year. That had been holding him back so it was only as the year went on that he was able to put those injury problems behind him.
"It is up to Sean now. Hopefully he can remain injury-free and apply himself. He wouldn't have played with a lot of the players on the panel now so he has to prove himself to them as well."
Money, drugs and Rolex watches were found in the homes and cars of the eight men from the Black Country and Staffordshire in 2014 and 2015.
Ringleader Dharmesh Patel tried to run from police as he was arrested, throwing away phone parts and swallowing a SIM card.
The men previously admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine and crack cocaine.
More updates on this story
Stafford Crown Court heard police stopped members of the gang in the Cannock area between April 2014 and August 2015 and searched their vehicles.
Officers also found £42,000 cash, as well as a Rolex watch worth £12,600, when they searched Patel's home.
At a search of McFarlane's address, police said 278 rocks of crack were found, along with 143g of crack cocaine and 170g of cocaine.
Officers also found crack cocaine concealed inside Kinder eggs in a search of one of the vehicles.
The men were jailed on Thursday after previously pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply cocaine and crack cocaine.
Ch Insp Geoff Knight said: "This is a great result and we are delighted to see eight men behind bars for a considerable period of time.
"All of these men played a significant role in fuelling drug crime in south Staffordshire and their sentences are very much welcomed."
Steven Dean Gordon, who confessed to the killings to authorities in an interview, was found guilty of four counts of murder.
Police said Gordon, 47, and 30-year-old sex offender Franc Cano abducted and killed the women in 2013 and 2014.
Prosecutors first charged Gordon with rape but later dropped the charges. He may now face the death penalty.
Gordon and Cano, both registered sex offenders, were first convicted in separate cases of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14.
Gordon, who was convicted in 1992, also had a kidnapping conviction in 2002. Cano was convicted in 2008.
Police believe Cano and Gordon had known each other since at least 2010, when Cano was arrested in Alabama with Gordon after cutting off his monitoring device.
The pair then cut off their monitoring devices two years later and travelled on a Greyhound bus to Las Vegas before they were arrested again by federal agents.
According to grand jury testimony, Gordon was living in a camper van, or recreational vehicle (RV), in Anaheim at the time of the killings.
He and Cano brought their victims to the RV site and wore a GPS tracking device during at least three of the murders.
Authorities connected Gordon and Cano to the disappearance of the women through their tracking devices after discovering the body of missing 21-year-old Jarrae Nykkole Estepp.
The men were charged with killing three other women who went missing in Santa Ana in 2013: Kianna Jackson, 20; Josephine Monique Vargas, 34; and Martha Anaya, 28.
All four women had connections to prostitution.
The jurors, who deliberated for about an hour before handing down the verdict, also found there were special circumstances of murder during a kidnapping and multiple murders, making Gordon eligible for a death sentence.
They will decide whether to recommend a death sentence or life in prison without parole at a penalty phase on Monday.
Cano, who is being tried separately, has pleaded not guilty. He is due back in court on 29 December.
A draw was a fair result after an even match that left both sides with one win from their first five league games.
After a goalless hour, Jamie Paterson scored the hosts' opener from close range, before Tottenham loanee Onomah responded with his first Villa goal.
Both sides had spells of pressure in the closing stages, but Villa earned their first away point of 2017-18.
Robins right-back Eros Pisano almost won it with 13 minutes left when his slightly mis-hit cross evaded Villa keeper Sam Johnstone, but it bounced back off the inside of the far post.
A possible blow to Steve Bruce's side came at half-time as experienced defender Christopher Samba was withdrawn with a possible knee problem.
Villa had initially started with three at the back and found themselves under early pressure from the hosts' lively forwards, with Paterson on form, but after Bruce switched to a 4-4-2 formation, the visitors grew in to the game.
The draw was Bristol City's third in a row in the Championship and saw them extend their unbeaten run to four games in all competitions, while Villa's stretched to three.
Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson:
"I just wish we had a couple more points at this stage because I think we have deserved them. But we are definitely heading in the right direction. The fans can see that.
"Both teams put so much in to the game and I thought it was a credit to the Championship.
"We are still looking to sign an attacking player before the deadline and there could be some departures. But to be honest I would be happy if the window closed now."
Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce:
"The vultures gathered sooner than I expected this season, which is perhaps a sign of the times, but tonight we have sent our fans home happy.
"They have seen some young players giving everything for the club. It wasn't a classic performance, but the lads have rolled their sleeves up and got something from the game.
"For me, that has been missing for far too long."

Michael Gove and other ministers campaigning for Britain's exit will also be unable to use official briefings to prepare campaign speeches.
But civil servants will be allowed to help ministers arguing for Britain to "remain in a reformed EU", No 10 said.
UKIP described the move as a "total stitch-up".
The rule change was announced by Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood.
Downing Street said civil servants and special advisers should not give ministers campaigning for the UK to leave the EU access to government papers, apart from ones they have already seen, on the referendum or David Cameron's EU renegotiations.
But officials should continue to support the ministers in all other aspects of government business in their normal way, a spokesman added.
The Conservative Party is officially neutral in the referendum but the government's official policy is that Britain should remain in the EU - and civil servants are duty bound to support government policies.
But leave campaigners are likely to argue the move will give the remain campaign an unfair advantage on 23 June's referendum on whether Britain should stay in the EU.
I know of one cabinet minister backing Leave who has chosen to get round all this by bringing in an old friend to act as an unofficial special adviser for the duration.
Other special advisers have been less certain of the rules and have been asking Downing Street what they should be doing. One told me: "We are all rather feeling our way on this."
In truth, Whitehall is not too worried about how the cabinet will operate in the run-up to June 23. This is, after all, a civil service that has had to deal with a coalition government for the last five years and that had a cabinet that was nothing if not divided.
But government is going to be a little edgy in coming months.

Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers, one of five cabinet ministers to join the leave campaign, said it was another example of the forces against them.
"The leave campaign is the underdog, no doubt about that. Much of the establishment is lined up in favour of EU membership, as they have been in the past," she told BBC Radio 4's The World at One.
The cabinet is split over the issue with 17 full members in favour of staying in the EU and five wanting to leave. Conservative MPs are also split - 142 to 120 at the latest count in favour of staying. David Cameron said on Tuesday he though London mayor Boris Johnson "has got this one wrong" by being in favour of the UK leaving the EU.
In a letter outlining the changes to the civil service code, Sir Jeremy said: "Civil servants can draft ministerial speeches and provide briefing on government policy for ministers... including those organised by groups campaigning for the same outcome as the government on the EU referendum."
It says ministers will "be able to take a different personal position from that of the Government on the issue of the EU referendum."
But it adds: "This wholly exceptional arrangement applies only to the question of whether the UK should remain in a reformed EU or leave. All other EU or EU-related business, including negotiations in or with all EU institutions and other Member States, and debates and votes in the UK Parliament on EU business will continue to be subject to the normal rules of collective responsibility and party discipline."
The rules will apply until 28 days before the referendum, when they will be reviewed, he added.
UKIP MEP Nathan Gill said Whitehall's approach represented an "appalling cover-up" and that people should know what contingency plans the government has made for a UK exit from the EU.
"To not give the public that information in order that they can make an informed decision on such a huge issue is the greatest insult to democracy," he added.
Elsewhere in the EU referendum debate, former prime minister Tony Blair told the BBC a vote to leave could change the future of the UK by "providing the justification for Scottish independence", warning this would be a "huge mistake for the country".
Mr Blair said he supported Mr Cameron in making the case for a vote to remain, saying the PM had achieved a "great deal" in his negotiations.
The 15-year-old, from County Antrim, claims there was a failure to implement legislation which would protect him from media identification.
In October, he was interviewed on suspicion of offences under the Computer Misuse Act and released on bail.
But reports led to him being identified, the court heard.
His lawyers contend that a legal loophole enabled his details and photograph to feature amid widespread newspaper and online publicity.
It is the second set of proceedings issued by the teenager since he was detained last month by police investigating a major hack into the phone and broadband provider's database.
He is also also suing three national newspapers and Google and Twitter for alleged breach of privacy.
Under the terms of the 1999 Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act no details identifying anyone under 18 allegedly involved in an offence can be reported.
Although that law applies to England, Wales and Northern Ireland, counsel for the boy claimed Stormont's continued failure to commence the Act has impacted on his right to privacy.
A barrister also argued that it was irrational to be denied the same protection given to minors once they are charged with an offence.
He told the High Court on Thursday: "The applicant in this case was named and his photograph appeared, albeit there were some attempts to cover his eyes.
"He has been running around trying to pursue various media organisations."
Had any charges been brought against the boy it would be contempt of court to identify him, with the Attorney General potentially becoming involved, according to the barrister.
"Almost with a stroke of the pen this material would have disappeared from the internet," he suggested.
The court heard that without implementation of the relevant section of the Act, the boy had to bring civil proceedings against publishers and firms based in the United States.
"It's an almost impossible task the applicant faces of daily monitoring, which is difficult for him because he's on police bail and restricted from accessing the internet," his barrister said.
"It requires family members or his solicitor monitoring the internet for references and bringing these to the attention of Google and Twitter - a task which would be removed completely if Section 44 (of the Act) was commenced."
At one stage the judge questioned whether the court was being asked to get involved in a political issue.
Rejecting a categorisation of the case as being urgent, the judge insisted he would not be "rushed into making a decision in a case which has such a high policy content".
A solicitor for the Department of Justice, confirmed the same position applies in England and Wales - Section 44 has been enacted but no commencement order given.
The judge adjourned the challenge for two weeks to give the department more time to consider the issues.
Taylor made 539 first-class appearances for Essex between 1949 and 1973, skippering the side during his final six years with the county.
The wicketkeeper also scored 18,329 runs and took 1295 dismissals, the seventh-highest in first-class cricket.
He never played for England despite being selected for a tour to South Africa in 1956-57, but following his retirement he became a selector.
Trials on 628 babies prone to developing peanut allergy found the risk was cut by over 80%.
The King's College London researchers said it was the "first time" that allergy development had been reduced.
Specialists said the findings could apply to other allergies and may change diets around, but warned parents not to experiment at home.
The research team in London had previously found that Jewish children in Israel who started eating peanuts earlier in life had allergy levels 10 times lower than Jewish children in the UK.
The trial, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, focused on babies as young as four months who had already developed eczema - an early warning sign of allergies.
Skin-prick tests were used to identify those who had not yet developed peanut allergy or had only a very mild response.
Children under five should not eat whole peanuts, because of the risk of choking, so half were given a peanut-based snack. The other half continued avoiding peanuts.
The trial indicated that for every 100 children, 14 would normally go on to develop an allergy by the age of five.
But this fell by 86% to just two out of every 100 children with the therapy.
Even the children who were already becoming sensitive to peanuts benefited. Their allergy rates fell from 35% to 11%.
Lead researcher Prof Gideon Lack told the BBC: "[It was] exciting to us to realise for the first time that in allergy, we can actually truly prevent the development of disease.
"It represents a real shift in culture."
He said that high-risk children "need to be evaluated, have skin-prick testing and dietary advice, [before], in most cases, early introduction of peanut".
Prof Lack added: "We realise this goes very much contrary to previous advice, but it is very much essential that we direct our attention to this group of infants and stem this growing epidemic of peanut allergy."
Until 2008, at-risk families were told to actively avoid peanut products and other sources of allergic reactions.

Allergy levels are soaring.
In the US, the prevalence has more than quadrupled since 2008, and it's a pattern replicated across much of the Western world as well as parts of Asia and Africa.
This study has generated huge excitement at what it could mean for preventing allergies developing.
However, there are still many unanswered questions.
How regularly do children have to take the peanut snacks? What stage should they start? What happens when the children stop taking the peanut snacks?
How are health care services going to adopt this?
And excitingly, will this work in other types of food allergy?
It is these unknowns that mean no doctors are saying parents should take matters into their own hands.
But as a New England Journal of Medicine editorial states the results are "so compelling and the problem of the increasing prevalence of peanut allergy so alarming, new guidelines should be forthcoming very soon".
The findings have attracted excited responses from other doctors, and there is speculation similar approaches might work with other allergies, such as egg protein.
Prof Simon Murch, from University Hospital Coventry, a spokesman for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said the results were "brilliant".
He said: "It is potentially a very significant moment as it demonstrates that turning around our current approach may give better results.
"Obviously more studies will have to be performed on other potential allergens, but it is a very significant paper and is likely to change practice, at least for peanut, around the world."
He added that it was "unlikely" that previous policies were behind the rising tide of allergies as cleaner homes, modern food and gut bacteria were also likely to be playing a role.
However, he cautioned families not to rush out and buy a jar of peanut butter.
"This has to be looked at very closely by regulatory bodies, it is very possible this will lead to changes in recommendations," he said.
"But this is a single study, although very well conducted, so it is absolutely not at the stage you can recommend to families."
Dr Andrew Clark, a leading allergy specialist at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, found last year that allergic children could be trained to tolerate peanut by slowly exposing them to higher and higher doses.
He said: "This could be a turning point in the way we try to prevent food allergy in the future, it really does prove a principle that it is possible to reduce the prevalence of peanut allergy early in childhood by feeding infants peanut in a careful and controlled way.
"But we should remember this study was carried out at an internationally renowned centre, and they selected children at quite low risk of a severe reaction.
"Don't try this at home."

Peters made a 160 checkout against Zoe Jones, the highest finish in the history of the women's competition at Lakeside.
Meanwhile, England's Josh Richardson, 17, beat Jordan Boyce of the Republic of Ireland 3-2 to win the World Youth Championship.
Sixth seed Mitchell and number 11 seed McGeeney were England team-mates and pairs partners at last year's World Cup in Turkey.
Lakeside debutant McGeeney, 43, took a two-leg lead early in the seventh set but opportunities to win the match were squandered.
Mitchell, 45, did likewise, three times failing to close out the match on his own throw.
At 5-5, McGeeney won the honour of throwing first in the final leg but he could not complete a 102 checkout on double 16, allowing Mitchell to land a decisive double top.
Mitchell said afterwards: "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good."
Scott Mitchell: "I really don't want to give this thing up. Averages don't interest me, being in the next round is what interests me. I've got away with this one, but I'm still in."
BBC pundit Bobby George on Mitchell's win: "I thought it would be close, but I didn't think it would be that close. It was a great match to watch, it was so exciting."
Trina Gulliver: "I was very lucky because Lisa missed so many doubles. I was very fortunate to get through, but I enjoyed the game. I'm not finished yet."
All four men's quarter-finals will be played on Friday.
Waites' match with number one seed Glen Durrant is the final game of the day's early session (live on BBC Two, coverage starts at 13:00 GMT), while Mitchell plays Veenstra during the late session.

Ministers are considering applying for an exemption to European Union laws which prohibit electro-fishing.
They have launched on consultation on the proposal.
Razor clams - or spoots - are increasingly in demand by overseas markets and fishermen can command a high price for their catch.
An environmental group said law enforcement agencies had "lost the battle" to stamp out illegal electro-fishing.
And Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing admitted that Marine Scotland had found it difficult to clamp down on the activities of some fishermen.
Mr Ewing said: "Electro-fishing is currently illegal in Scotland and Marine Scotland Compliance has taken a range of measures to tackle this illegal activity.
"Enforcement has proved to be very difficult, and changes need to be made to either make it easier to enforce the current law or, if electro-fishing is to be legalised, to ensure any electro-fishing is undertaken safely and sustainably in a properly regulated environment.
"As a result of this advice and extensive consultation with the industry, we have now decided to consult on proposals to amend the current law to allow electro-fishing to be a legal method for catching razor clams.
"This is an issue that has evoked much interest and debate. This is why I would urge all those with an interest, in particular from fishermen and people in coastal communities where such fisheries might be conducted, to respond to the consultation."
The move comes after a report by Marine Scotland found that electro-fishing had a lower environmental impact than methods like dredging and it had little short-term effect on other species.
As part of the practice of electro-fishing, electrodes shock razor fish in the seabed, causing them to rise up.
At that point they are easily collected by divers.
It is the "least worst option", according to RSPB Scotland.
Alex Kinnimouth, the charity's head of marine policy in Scotland, said: "The status quo of an illegal, unregulated and unreported razor clam fishery is clearly unacceptable.
"Marine Scotland and the police seem to have lost the battle to stamp it out and so there is a real risk that this highly efficient fishing method could cause 'spoots' to be wiped out in areas that are being repeatedly targeted.
"Alternative capture methods such as dredging are highly disruptive to the seabed.
"So on the basis of the most recent published research, a closely regulated fishery using electricity, perhaps on a pilot basis, with tight controls on method, quantity of catch, and where it can occur could be seen as the least worst option."
Food journalist and campaigner Alex Renton told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme that he believed the practice was extremely dangerous.
"When you put enormous voltages of electricity down on to beaches in Scotland, you can cause enormous damage.
"And the reports say that the other fish - and of course beaches are where young fish grow - suffer epileptic fits, haemorrhages, their spines break."
High-profile chefs Andrew Fairlie and Tom Kitchin have also voiced their opposition to the "idiocy" of uncontrolled electro-fishing.
In a letter published three years ago, they warned that, unless the practice was done very carefully, it could kill "nearly everything else in the vicinity" as well as the razor fish.
The consultation was welcomed by the Scottish Conservatives whose fisheries spokesman, Finlay Carson, called for further scientific research into the sustainability of the razor clam beds.
He added: "I also hope that every effort will be made to seek as many views and expert opinions as possible during the consultation.
"It's imperative that the potential positive economic impact on coastal communities from razor clam fishing is founded on proper scientific research with sustainability as a primary concern."
The Scottish government has previously taken a hard line with fishermen caught using the technique.
In May 2014, it announced tougher licensing measures in a bid to clamp down on the illegal practice.
In the two years before that announcement, 11 vessels were issued with a fixed penalty of up to £2,000 for electro-fishing.
Diver Graeme Mackie drowned during an electro-fishing expedition for razor clams in the Firth of Forth in 2011.
Dunfermline Sheriff Court heard that there was no evidence that the electric current directly caused Mr Mackie's death.
Skipper Ronald MacNeil was ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work after admitting safety failings.
The Aberdeen midfielder was at Hampden Park as the Scottish Premiership's 12 club captains looked forward to the start of the domestic season.
"I am still watching it now in the car down," Shinnie said of his 25-yard drive against the Cypriots.
"It was one that I enjoyed and one that's taken a long time to come."
Shinnie scored three goals last season - and has hit the net four times since joining the Dons from Inverness Caledonian Thistle two years ago.
"I've probably never scored a goal like that in my career, so to do it on that stage in a packed-out Pittodrie was something I enjoyed," said the 25-year-old.
Aberdeen are looking to avoid a fourth exit in a row in the third qualifying stage of the Europa League, but Shinnie thinks they have their best chance yet to reach the play-off stage.
"It would be massive," he said. "Since I have been here, we have always nearly been into this round and it has been frustrating in some of the games we went out.
"Even Maribor last year, I thought we were the better team over the two legs.
"But we are in a different situation this time, going over with a lead."
Shinnie thinks the Aberdeen squad has better strength in depth following manager Derek McInnes' summer recruitment and that gives him added confidence that they can protect their lead on Thursday.
"They were good opposition," he added. "Especially at home in Cyprus with the heat and the home atmosphere and everything else, it will be a tough game, but we know we can do it.
"It is going to be a different experience from the last round - we went over there knowing we had to score and had to win.
"But this one we are in front, so we don't need to score, although I think we can score.
"I think they showed that we can exploit their weaknesses and there will be chances over there.
"But they will be the team that will be coming out trying to attack and needing a goal."
Baoding Rongda were leading 2-1 when referee Huang Xiang awarded visitors Wuhan Zall a penalty during seven minutes of stoppage time.
The referee was confronted by players and staff at the final whistle, fans threw objects and there was a power cut at the stadium, Chinese media reports.
Police and the Chinese Football Association (CFA) are investigating.
The officials had to be escorted off the pitch by security staff.
Baoding chairman Meng Yongli burst into tears in front of journalists after the match, alleging his side had been cheated out of the win. He gathered reporters on the pitch to announce he was pulling the team out of China League One, before quitting as chairman hours later, citing "personal reasons".
The club, which are based to the south west of Beijing and are at the bottom of the second tier, subsequently apologised and said they had no intention of leaving the competition.
The CFA said in a statement: "We would like the club to express its opinion in a calm manner. In the meantime we call on the fans to remain rational and restrained."
The CFA has issued a series of lengthy bans in to star names including former Chelsea midfielder Oscar, who plays for Shanghai SIPG.
He sparked a mass brawl during a match in China's Super League.
Chinese football also has a history of controversy involving referees and officials.
In 2009, authorities launched a high-profile crackdown on corruption in the sport, leading to dozens of arrests and prison sentences.
One of China's top referees, Lu Jun, was jailed in 2012 after taking bribes to fix matches.
Baoding is not just known for the football club.
The Chinese stress balls, Baoding balls, were first made in the city and continue to be made there today.
The balls are thought to exercise hand muscles, improve brain function and reduce stress - although this is unsupported by scientific evidence. | Former England boss Sam Allardyce says he is open to the prospect of a return to international management.

Dave Edwards shot wastefully wide for Wolves early on after getting on the end of a cut-back pass from Joe Mason.
Danny Batth had a header tipped onto the bar by Millers keeper Lee Camp, who rushed out to deny Mason in what was the hosts' best chance after the break.
Neil Warnock's Millers held on to extend their unbeaten run to 11 games.
Rotherham have lost just twice in 14 games since the much-travelled Warnock took charge in February, when the Millers were three points adrift of safety.
Even without their away point, Rotherham would have been safe as MK Dons were relegated to League One following a 4-1 home defeat by Brentford.
Wolves remain 14th in the table, having now gone goalless at Molineux since Matt Doherty's injury-time winner beat Bristol City 2-1 on 8 March.
Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett:
"Ultimately there is some frustration because we have drawn four games on the trot at home 0-0 and it is not a record we want. But it's better than losing games.
"We played some good football, particularly through James Henry, who was our best player and had lots of freedom.
"We had clear-cut chances but ultimately you need to put those chances away and we didn't.
"We have to keep looking to find the right mix and the winning equation, which is what we are looking for."
Rotherham United manager Neil Warnock:
"It will take a while to realise what an achievement that is.
"The players have been fantastic and the chairman has been unbelievable and it's wonderful for me to give them something to smile about because they have worked ever so hard to get Rotherham in the Championship.
"I am speaking to the chairman in the next couple of weeks. I said once we're safe we'll have a chat, I will be in the Championship next year, I am speaking to him so we will just have to see how it develops.
"It's great to come here and get it put to bed. If you'd have told me that at the start I'd have snapped your hands off. Now I want to finish as high as I can."
Ayatollah Khamenei described Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr as a "martyr" who acted peacefully.
Protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran late on Saturday, setting fire to the building before being driven back by police.
Several hundred people gathered outside the building again on Sunday afternoon.
The authorities have changed the name of the street on which the Saudi embassy stands, naming it after the executed Sheikh Nimr, one of 47 people executed for terrorism offences on Saturday.
But Ayatollah Khamenei said the cleric had been executed for his opposition to Saudi Arabia's Sunni rulers.
"This oppressed scholar had neither invited people to armed movement, nor was involved in covert plots," the ayatollah tweeted.
"The only act of #SheikhNimr was outspoken criticism," he added, saying the "unfairly-spilled blood of oppressed martyr #SheikhNimr will affect rapidly & Divine revenge will seize Saudi politicians".
Sheikh Nimr had been a figurehead in the anti-government protests that erupted in the wake of the Arab Spring up to his arrest in 2012.
Newspapers in Iran have reacted with anger to the killing of the Shia cleric, warning it could bring down the Saudi ruling family but Saudi papers insist the authorities have the right to mete out punishment to those who do not obey the rules.
The killing "has brought the weak foundations of the bloodthirsty government of Saudi Arabia closer to collapse", says Iran's hard-line Vatan-e Emruz.
The authorities in Riyadh must now accept that the supporters of the cleric in the region "will take revenge", warns conservative Hemayat.
But reformist Sharq fears the "irresponsible" act could exacerbate sectarian tensions in the region and warns Tehran not to get drawn into Riyadh's "dangerous game".
In Saudi Arabia, Al-Riyadh is adamant that "the homeland's security, unity and prestige are non-negotiable" and no "incitement of harm or sedition" should be tolerated irrespective of the culprit's affiliations.
Finally, Al-Jazirah, says the "firm, strong verdict" has made the country "safer and more stable".
Iran - Saudi Arabia's main regional rival - has led condemnation among Shia communities over the execution.
The foreign ministry in Tehran said the Sunni kingdom would pay a high price for its action, and it summoned the Saudi charge d'affaires in Tehran in protest.
Some of the protesters at the Saudi embassy in Tehran hurled petrol bombs and rocks. Forty people have been arrested, officials said.
There have also been demonstrations in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, where Shia Muslims complain of marginalisation, as well as in Iraq, Bahrain and several other countries.
The top Shia cleric in Iraq, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani described the execution as an "unjust aggression".
The leader of Lebanon's Shia Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, launched his sharpest attack yet on the Saudi ruling family, accusing them of seeking to ignite a civil war between Sunni and Shia Muslims across the world.
He said the blood of Sheikh Nimr would "plague the Al Saud [family] until the Day of Resurrection", prompting cries of "Death to the Al Saud!" among an audience watching his address.
For its part, Saudi Arabia complained to the Iranian envoy in Riyadh about what it called "blatant interference" in its internal affairs.
Clashes between protesters and police were also reported for a second day in Indian-administered Kashmir and in Bahrain, where a Shia majority have complained of marginalisation at the hands of the Sunni royal family.
The execution has worsened long-running tensions between the two Middle Eastern nations, which support opposite sides in the Syrian and Yemen conflicts.
The US and UN have both called for restraint.
In a statement after the executions, US state spokesman John Kirby appealed to Saudi Arabia's government to respect and protect human rights, and to ensure fair and transparent judicial proceedings.
Mr Kirby also urged the Saudi government to permit peaceful expression of dissent and, along with other leaders in the region, to redouble efforts to reduce regional tensions.
Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr: Figurehead Shia cleric
Most of the 47 executed by Saudi Arabia were Sunnis convicted of involvement in al-Qaeda-linked terror attacks last decade.
Saudi Arabia carried out more than 150 executions last year, the highest figure recorded by human rights groups for 20 years.
People caught up in these events shared their experiences with the BBC through social media, chat apps and email.
Here, we revisit and hear from a number of them.
Mandy Palmucci, 33, from Chicago, US, survived the deadly shootings at La Belle Equipe bar in Paris, where 19 of the 130 killed in the 13 November attacks died.
"I was sitting outside La Belle Equipe with three friends when the attack happened.
"What we experienced was terrible. One of our group was shot in the leg. The rest of us were uninjured.
"We stayed with her and helped others there. We covered people and held IV drips - anything to help.
"I left Paris the day after it happened. I wanted to return for the memorial two week's later but couldn't travel then.
"At the table next to us, about 11 people were killed. I held on to a man who lost everyone.
"They were there for a birthday party [for waitress Houda Saadi, who was among those killed, along with sister Halima}.
"My heart is still broken from these events and I'm trying to get through this grieving process.
"I now count the Fridays. It's hard to distract me from 21:36 Paris time on a Friday, when the attack occurred.
"When I find myself enjoying something the guilt can be overwhelming. I've since got a tattoo with the motto from the Parisian coat of arms on my left ribs, which is roughly where I landed when we hit the ground during the shooting.
"It's been the only thing I've actually allowed myself to enjoy and now that my bruises are gone, I'm glad there is a visual reminder beyond the internal one I feel every day.
"I still have thoughts related to the attacks every three to four minutes, at least.
"The immediate victims around me are never far from my mind and I have been consumed with knowing how people who were there are doing now.
"The updates in the news have slowed, but I've managed to find out about one man who was sitting to my right, another who was to my left, the lady directly behind me and a group of gentlemen near us.
"The only ones I don't know about, who I can see so clearly in my memories, were the two directly on the other side of us inside of the bar. I don't think I'll ever know.
"I'd prefer to forget about Christmas this year, it's not really on my mind."
Debbie Horsfall, 23, from Huddersfield, UK witnessed the gun attack in Sousse, Tunisia, which killed 38 people in June.
"It was a terrifying experience, but I'm doing my best to deal with it and try to surround myself with people who help me get through it.
"I was talking about it so much at the time, that was almost therapeutic, in a way.
"Then when everything died down, it slowly started to sink in. It was difficult but I did my best to not let it become part of my life, where I refer to myself as 'the person in Tunisia'.
"If anything, it teaches you to not take things for granted. You change your opinion on little bickering things. You realise they're nothing.
"I travelled to Spain in August and went on the beach again, which I was really proud of. I know it sounds silly, but it was a really big thing getting back on a beach so soon afterwards.
"Since Tunisia, I do all the checks on the area I'm travelling to beforehand. It just seems that at the moment wherever you go, you've got to watch your step.
"Obviously, there will be certain times when things hit you. Every now and again I'll get little flashbacks. That's just something you've got to learn to deal with.
"I don't think it's anything that I'll ever get over but it's something that I've been through and I can't get rid of it.
"I'll be with my family at Christmas, so I've got the important people around me.
"I'll probably reflect on the fact that I'm still lucky enough to be here to celebrate and unfortunately others aren't."
Sajiya Gurung, 18, from Kathmandu, survived the devastating earthquakes in Nepal in April, which killed an estimated 9,000 people.
"The earthquake was terrifying. Some of my relatives and friends lost their lives and some of us survived.
"Most people could not go back to their homes after both earthquakes. There were many aftershocks and everything was moving around. Everyone had to stay outside.
"We had to sleep on the street for three nights. Even though we were outside, we were afraid that the houses would fall down on us.
"It was also very cold at night, we only had one or two blankets which we had to share.
"We couldn't even stay at a shelter because we thought it would fall down on us.
"Our house was OK, but many people from the affected areas are still living outside, hoping the government will pay for their damages.
"I am more afraid now. You worry all the time about windows or other parts of your house coming down on top of you and that you're going to die like that.
"There are now about two or three aftershocks a month.
"I will spend Christmas with my friends and family. I'm appreciative of life now because you don't know if you're going to die tomorrow."
Gassama is a Gambian migrant who travelled through Libya to Italy just over a year ago. He describes how he is coping and how he has dissuaded others from making the same perilous journey, which claimed the lives of more than 2,800 people.
"Life is still very difficult. I came here at the end of last year and I'm still in an immigrant centre about 31 miles (50km) outside Milan with 150 others.
"They are all mainly African, with six of us to a room.
"Some have moved on to Germany and Austria. They say life is better there but, like us, they still can't get documents to work.
"I have just sat the test to try to obtain work documents for the second time and I failed again.
"No Gambians have passed the test. We are now trying to consult a lawyer to help us obtain our documents.
"I get 75 euros (£54) a month welfare to live on. The food I live on is generally not good for us.
"I can't even leave, as I have to sign in and out every day and if I'm not back by 22:00 I won't be allowed back in. So there's no freedom of movement.
"There are so many problems here, but I've been through situations like this before in Libya - on my way here - so I'm used to it.
"Other African migrants have come here after making the journey this year, mainly Nigerians. They are too scared to talk.
"There are not many Gambians coming now, mainly because of people like me telling them not to, because it's too dangerous to travel through Libya and there is no work here.
"My Facebook group has also had an impact in persuading others not to come. They are more likely now to stay in Gambia or try to find work elsewhere in places like Senegal.
"Meanwhile, I'm still here, not working or doing anything. But who knows what tomorrow will bring.
"I don't celebrate Christmas, as I'm Muslim, but if there are others here celebrating, I will join them."
The 16 and 17-year-old boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are alleged to have attacked Ajani Tella in Edgefield Road in the Springburn area of Glasgow.
They appeared from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court. They made no plea and were granted bail.
It is expected they will return to court at a later date.
The 29-year-old was a free agent after leaving Sutton's fellow National League side Guiseley at the end of the season.
Manager Paul Doswell told the club website: "He's a quality holding midfielder who's equally comfortable at centre-half.
"He has a great passing range, will bring a winning mentality, and provides another leader in our dressing room."

The two female suicide bombers included a 10-year-old girl, said Nigerian army spokesman Col Sani Usman.
There were two blasts at a venue where volunteers were waiting to screen worshippers, he said.
No group has said it carried the attack but Boko Haram has recently stepped up its campaign of violence.
They have been forced out of most areas they had seized but have increased their attacks since President Muhammudu Buhari took office in May.
Some 300 people have been killed this month.
The explosions were at an open-air praying area, known as Eid grounds, which were set aside for Muslims to gather to pray at the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
Because of the threat of a Boko Haram attack, worshippers were being searched before they reached the Eid grounds - this is where the explosions happened.
Col Usman said four persons died in the first explosion and five died in the second explosion.
"The first blast went off around 07:15 local time (06:15 GMT) while security volunteers who had come earlier than worshippers were waiting for the worshippers so they could assist in crowd control," added eye witness Ahmad Adamu, a security volunteer.
"While we were attending to the victims we heard another blast about 500 metres (547 yards) away," he added.
On Thursday, explosions targeting people shopping for Eid at a market in the north-eastern city of Gombe killed at least 49 people.
Will new military base help defeat Boko Haram?
Why Boko Haram remains a threat
The 22-year-old was charged with committing "an act of simulation" to earn his side a penalty in Saturday's 2-1 win over Dunfermline Athletic.
Hippolyte will miss the games against Queen of the South and Dumbarton.
Falkirk said in a statement: "We can confirm that Myles has accepted an immediate two-match suspension."
Hippolyte was judged to have dived - a breach of disciplinary rule 201 - during a challenge by Dunfermline goalkeeper Sean Murdoch that resulted in referee George Duncan pointing to the spot.
Aaron Muirhead scored the resulting penalty to draw the teams level at 1-1, with Falkirk eventually winning thanks to Nathan Austin's strike.
"Falkirk FC can confirm that a notice of complaint has been issued to midfielder Myles Hippolyte by the SFA compliance officer," the club added in their statement.
"No further comment will be made by Myles on this matter."
Hippolyte's suspension covers the final two Championship games of the season, although the forward will be available for the promotion play-offs.
The authority expects a £14m funding cut next year - part of a £38m budget gap - alongside "rising demand" for social care and other services.
The council said schools and social services will be prioritised, in line with feedback from the public.
Council leader Rob Stewart said it was responding to "unprecedented times".
He said the authority had made "significant savings" in recent years, with £50m of reductions in the last two, but "more needed to be done" to close the gap.
"Austerity is not over and the money we receive from the government is falling at a time when demand for our services is rising," he added.
"Every area of the council will be affected by reductions in funding, but we've made schools and social services our priority in line with the public's views."
Swansea is also looking to save millions more by streamlining its administration and back-office services and by generating additional income to help pay for services.
Mr Stewart said that without spending cuts, it would take a 100% increase in council tax to bridge the funding gap in the next few years.
"That's not fair and no-one would support it," he added.
Consultations on the budget proposals, involving the public and staff, will begin after the cabinet meets next week.
The council said it had given a commitment to "minimise" redundancies.
Production in April was 3.8% lower than last year, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
The number of cars produced for the domestic market increased by 11.1% to 29,930.
However, those intended for export, which represents a much larger portion of the market, fell 7.6% to 98,382.
Low demand in Europe may have hindered UK exports. "Europe as a whole is three million units off its peak," SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes told the BBC.
Economic confidence and interest in new models may be behind the UK's rising demand," said Mr Hawes.
"The UK buyer is more confident than the average buyer across the rest of Europe," he said.
The growing availability and popularity of car finance packages had also pushed up domestic sales, he added. About three-quarters of purchases are now made with a finance package.
"Brits have a greater predilection to buy on credit. These packages are attracting people into the showrooms," he said.
Peter Whittingham, Rickie Lambert and Emyr Huws have already left the Championship side.
Wingers Craig Noone and Anthony Pilkington, plus left-back Declan John could also be surplus to requirements at Cardiff City Stadium.
"There's players who won't be here at the start of the season," Warnock confirmed.
"Fans might guess without me telling them really. I don't envisage going with more than about 21 or 22 players this year."
Pilkington scored the winner in Friday's pre-season friendly against Taffs Well in which four of the club's new arrivals made their Cardiff debuts.
Winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, goalkeeper Neil Etheridge, striker Danny Ward and midfielder Loic Damour all had a run-out against the Welsh League Division One side in a game that doubled as a charity event.
"Thanks to all the fans because it was a super night," Warnock added.
"I'm pleased for our lads as well, because when you're a pro and you come to a non-league club like Taffs Well you could get a wrong attitude.
"If you get a wrong attitude that's when you get injured, so I was pleased with our lads and it was a great night all round."
Afghanistan's intelligence agency blamed Wednesday's attack on militants allegedly backed by Islamabad.
An Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) statement it could not agree to play against "a country where terrorists are housed and provided safe havens".
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) later accused the ACB of "playing politics".
Pakistan has rejected an Afghan claim that it was involved the attack in the capital.
A PCB statement added: "The PCB strongly rejects the baseless allegations levelled by Afghanistan Cricket Board in the wake of the tragic Kabul blast.
"While our sympathies are with the victims and families affected by the tragedy, we reject the irresponsible statement made by the ACB and hereby announce the cancellation of the proposed series between the two countries.
"The informal understanding with ACB last weekend was strictly subject to conducive security conditions in Afghanistan and now stands cancelled because of continuing insecurity and instability there."
The bomb killed at least 90 people in Kabul, where a Twenty20 match between the two countries was provisionally scheduled to take place later this year.
That match would have been followed by a fixture in Pakistan and a full series at an undetermined date.
However, the ACB statement added that it "hereby cancel all kinds of cricket matches and initial mutual relationship agreement with the Pakistan Cricket Board".
Pakistan played a role in the development of cricket in Afghanistan, supplying equipment and arranging fixtures.
But in 2016, Afghanistan's national team shifted its base from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates to Noida, Delhi, while India's former batsman Lalchand Rajput replaced Pakistan's Inzamam-ul-Haq as their national team coach.
Only Zimbabwe have toured Pakistan since a 2009 militant attack in the country on the visiting Sri Lanka team.
India has refused to play a full series against them since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, while relations with Bangladesh deteriorated after Pakistan pulled out of a series there scheduled for July.
Brian Sharp, 55, of Manor Road, Folkestone, was told he would serve at least 18 years for murdering Tim Clayton in the Kent town last November.
Sharp's trial at Canterbury Crown Court heard he had become jealous about 45-year-old Mr Clayton's close friendship with his on-off girlfriend.
His victim was asleep behind a building when Sharp began his 12-minute attack.
Kent Police said Sharp, accompanied by his Staffordshire bull terrier, had attacked Mr Clayton as he slept at the rear of Europa House in Pound Way in the early hours of 9 November.
Sharp punched and kicked Mr Clayton for 12 minutes, before leaving the scene.
CCTV showed Mr Clayton, a father of two, getting up and checking himself in a car window before returning to go to sleep.
He was found unconscious several hours later by bank staff arriving for work and died in hospital the following day.
After the guilty verdict last week, Det Ch Insp Paul Fotheringham said: "This was a violent, callous and premeditated attack on a vulnerable man in the middle of the night.
"Sharp became consumed by jealously after learning of his girlfriend's friendship with Mr Clayton and he went out that night to hurt him.
"Mr Clayton didn't have a chance."
Dr Fatoumata Nafo-Traoré, who heads the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership, said after visiting west Africa: "Understandably, all the health workers' attention is on Ebola."
Children's wards which used to be full of malaria patients were becoming "ghost areas," she added.
In 2012, malaria killed 7,000 people in the three countries worst hit by Ebola.
Most of these will have been young children - although malaria is curable.
The disease caused almost 4,000 deaths in Sierra Leone in 2012 - as well as around 2,000 deaths in Liberia and approximately 1,000 in Guinea.
Now the three countries are wrestling with the Ebola virus and Dr Nafo-Traoré said she feared that recent gains in preventing malaria could be threatened by the crisis.
She said: "These countries have previously been really hit by malaria. But five years ago, it was even worse - the deaths were double.
"We all agree that no child should die from malaria, because we have the tools to prevent and treat it.
"But now, understandably, all the health workers' attention is on Ebola.
"We used to see hospital beds with three children in them at a time, because there was not enough space.
"Now those paediatric wards are becoming ghost areas, because of the lack of manpower there.
"So we don't know who has malaria, and who is dying from it.
"Even if the situation is at the same level as last year, that was still very bad in those countries. We're really concerned that Ebola will cause a setback to the efforts on malaria.
"And there's a lack of trust and confidence in health workers. There's still a feeling it's them who are bringing the virus to people."
RBM is a partnership of more than 500 organisations. It was formed 16 years ago to co-ordinate global efforts against malaria.
It says Guinea and Sierra Leone met key targets last year for distributing bed nets - a crucial weapon for protecting children from mosquitoes which spread malaria.
The situation in Liberia was less positive. Officials there are trying to work out how they can boost their distribution efforts while trying to contain Ebola too.
One problem is that the early symptoms of Ebola and malaria can be similar.
Dr Nafo-Traoré travelled by road from Conakry in Guinea to Sierra Leone earlier this month.
She told me: "The Ebola treatment centres have a protocol for treating cases of fever with anti-malarial drugs too, because the patient might be suffering from both diseases.
"But at the moment when people have fevers, they are often afraid to go to healthcare facilities because they want to avoid being held in the Ebola treatment centres.
"We are working with the countries to ensure people are tested for malaria and get the drugs.
"It's important to have a co-ordinated approach. A key aim is to decrease cases of malaria-related fever, so the Ebola centres don't get overwhelmed.
"I'm worried because of the weak health systems. And communication is so easy between all 15 of the West African countries.
"In the past Ebola occurred in remote bush areas. But today it's happening in capital cities.
"People are getting well-organised now. As I travelled by road there, I saw checkpoints where people were having their temperature taken and were washing their hands.
"Fortunately the world has received a wake-up call - but the response was slow at the beginning."
Great Western Railway said a signalling failure between London and Slough has blocked all lines.
It is affecting all services running west from Paddington.
The disruption is likely to continue until 22:00 BST on Thursday.
Five players, including Northern Ireland winger Shane Ferguson and Slovenia midfielder Haris Vuckic, arrived on loan from Newcastle United thanks to Ibrox shareholder and Magpies owner Mike Ashley.
It looks likely that they will be involved in an attempt to win promotion via the play-offs with Rangers currently sitting second top but 19 points behind Scottish Championship leaders Hearts.
The high-flying Tynecastle outfit, meanwhile, went Dutch as they recruited strapping striker Genero Zeefuik on loan from Groningen and bought winger Kenny Anderson from RKC Waalwijk.
Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs will be hoping to help Fraser Fyvie recapture the form that led to his move from Aberdeen to Wigan Athletic in the same way as he has done with fellow midfielder Scott Allan.
Along with their four other senior additions, the third-top side are gearing up to give Rangers a run for their money in the chase for the runners-up spot assuming Hearts do not squander their lead.

Pro-Russian separatist rebels killed four in an ambush at Verkhnetoretskoye, near Avdiivka. The fifth died when his vehicle hit a landmine.
Ukrainian military spokesman Oleksandr Motuzyanyk confirmed the death toll. Early on Monday rebel mortars targeted Ukrainian troops in the same area.
Reports say two rebels were killed.
A spokesman for the self-styled "Donetsk People's Republic (DPR)", Eduard Basurin, said the two died during Ukrainian shelling of DPR positions.
Speaking on Sunday, he said the rebels had blocked a Ukrainian army attempt to break through between Avdiivka and Yasynuvata.
The Ukrainian army losses were the highest for a single day since the deaths of seven in fighting last Tuesday.
The continuing use of heavy weapons along the front line in eastern Ukraine is undermining a fragile ceasefire.
International monitors from the OSCE security organisation have been prevented from reaching many areas in the conflict zone.
Both sides are still far off fulfilling the Minsk peace deal they signed up to.
Nato, Western leaders and the Ukrainian government accuse Russia of sending heavy armour and regular troops to the rebels. Moscow denies that, but admits that Russian "volunteers" are helping the rebels.
"Where duty calls you go," he told me from his small office packed with papers in the capital, Kampala, before he left.
Our appointment was for 07:30 local time. I arrived 10 minutes early, and he was already working.
"Mentally, you have to be trained first and also practically you need to know, what are you going to do… you use your past experience to protect yourself."
What did his family make of his decision?
"You have to convince them," he replied.
Dr Amone has treated many Ebola patients and led national response teams in the East African nation, which has become a hub for Ebola experts.
Before the epidemic in West Africa, the worst outbreak was recorded in Uganda in 2000.
More than 425 people contracted the virus, mainly in the northern town of Gulu. More than half of them died.
Since then there have been four more outbreaks.
In addition to that, Uganda has had to fight similar viral haemorrhagic fevers like Marbug, Crimean Congo and Yellow Fever.
But the government has managed to stop widespread Ebola outbreaks.
During the last one in Luwero, central Uganda, there were seven cases and four deaths.
What can Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Nigeria learn from Uganda's experience?
The importance of speed cannot be underestimated.
Spotting cases quickly, confirming them as Ebola and sending out teams.
At the Uganda Virus Research Institute, overlooking Lake Victoria, in the sleepy town of Entebbe, a small laboratory has been set up to do this.
With the help of the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scientists are receiving Ebola results out within 24 hours.
Stephen Balinandi is a laboratory specialist at CDC and has worked on many of Uganda's outbreaks.
"Unlike before when specimens would be shipped to international labs like the US, we are able to test specimens here within a short time," he says.
"And we send back the results to the healthcare givers in the field, who are able to properly manage the patients."
But any one of the scientists at this lab will say that their work is futile unless suspected cases can be picked up to begin with.
To this effect, the health ministry has educated health workers and the general public on Ebola symptoms.
A young team of techies has also created a health monitoring system known as mTrac that helped with the last Ebola outbreak.
Using a basic mobile phone, health workers reported suspected Ebola cases and received information on how to help communities.
Over the last decade, their response to outbreaks has improved immeasurably, Mr Balinandi says.
In earlier outbreaks, medics were forced to rely on little more than a hunch.
"After very many people had died - then there would be suspicion that we are dealing with something," he said.
Now testing is done earlier in order to pinpoint an outbreak.
Public information campaigns are also vital.
During an outbreak, messages are sent out telling people how to spot potential Ebola patients and how to stop themselves from catching the virus.
This starts at the local level, where leaders and social mobilisation teams go out to speak to those in the affected communities.
And, on the national stage, the president himself has been known to get involved.
In 2012 when there were Ebola cases in western Uganda he made a statement telling Ugandans not to kiss or shake hands.
It quickly made the headlines, and although it became a joke, he got his message across.
The public understood that limiting close contact was vital.
Local authorities often act quickly closing schools, markets and burying suspected Ebola victims to avoid gatherings.
Many Ugandans will admit that their national health system is somewhat lacking, with cases of women dying in labour, drug shortages and poorly resourced health centres.
But the fact that public health officials have managed to stage effective responses despite the many limitations should provide an example for the governments in West Africa, which face similar challenges.
Dr Amone, who has now arrived in Sierra Leone, feels the first crucial steps that would have limited the outbreak there were missed.
"The fact that you need to accept that Ebola is with you at the beginning is very important, because now the thing has spread out, we're going to have to do fire fighting."
The writer, who has been based in Scotland since 1993, won the prize for The Book of Strange New Things.
The novel tells the story of a Christian pastor sent to a colonised planet to carry out missionary work among aliens.
Faber previously won the Saltire First Book of the Year award in 2000 for his debut novel Under The Skin.
That book was adapted into a critically-acclaimed feature film in 2013, directed by Jonathan Glazer and starring Scarlett Johansson.
His 2002 novel The Crimson Petal and the White was dramatised as a four-part BBC television series in 2011, starring Romola Garai and Richard E Grant.
Commenting on his win, Faber said: "When I emigrated from Australia to a remote part of Scotland in 1993, I never expected that it would be the beginning rather than the end of my literary career.
"I'm so moved and grateful that this honour has been bestowed on my work. You've made an alien feel very welcome."
The Saltire Society Literary Awards celebrate "literary and academic excellence" across seven categories, with the winners of individual book categories going forward to be considered for the Saltire Book of the Year award.
The Book of Strange New Things has also won the 2015 Saltire Society Scottish Fiction Book of the Year, beating competition from a shortlist that included the latest works from Irvine Welsh, Kate Atkinson and Gaelic language writer Norma Nicleoid.
The winners in other categories were:
Faber collected both awards and a cash prize of £8,000 at a ceremony at the Central Hall in Edinburgh on Thursday.
He gave the pledge as he returned to Downing Street after the Conservatives won the general election.
The prime minister said he would continue to govern with "respect" towards the administrations in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
But the Lib Dems claimed they had delivered further powers against "much resistance" from the Tories.
Mr Cameron said "the governance of these nations will become powerful with wider responsibilities".
The prime minister announced in February plans to give the Welsh assembly more powers over energy projects, its own elections and scope for borrowing on the financial markets.
Following his party's victory, Conservative Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb told BBC Wales: "I think devolution and the relationship between the different nations of the United Kingdom will be a big theme in the next parliament, in the coming five years.
"Now we know in Wales there's a new piece of legislation already being written by my officials in the Wales office. That's going to strengthen the devolution settlement in Wales.
"It's also going to make devolution fairer for Wales because we are absolutely committed to following through on this historic commitment to bring fair funding to Wales; to make devolution work better in the interests of Welsh people and the Welsh economy."
However, A Welsh Lib Dem spokesperson said: "We've spent the last five years delivering further powers for Wales - often against much resistance within the Tory party.
"David Cameron must deliver all of the St David's Day agreement and that includes fair funding with no strings attached.
"The Tories are all over the place on this issue and it is time they clarified their position."
Labour and Plaid Cymru have also been asked to comment.
The Carl Vinson Strike Group comprises an aircraft carrier and other warships.
US Pacific Command described the deployment - now heading towards the western Pacific - as a prudent measure to maintain readiness in the region.
President Trump has said the US is prepared to act alone to deal with the nuclear threat from North Korea.
"The number one threat in the region continues to be North Korea, due to its reckless, irresponsible and destabilising programme of missile tests and pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability," US Pacific Command spokesman Dave Benham said.
The strike group comprises the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, two guided-missile destroyers and a guided-missile cruiser.
As well as massive striking power, the carrier group has the capability to intercept ballistic missiles.
It was originally due to make port calls in Australia but instead has been diverted from Singapore to the west Pacific - where it recently conducted exercises with the South Korean Navy.
North Korea has carried out several nuclear tests and experts predict more could be in the offing as the country moves closer towards developing a nuclear warhead with a big enough range to reach the US.
On Wednesday North Korea test-fired a medium-range ballistic missile from its eastern port of Sinpo into the Sea of Japan.
The test - condemned by Japan and South Korea - came on the eve of a visit by China's President Xi Jinping to the US to meet President Donald Trump.
The two leaders discussed how to rein in North Korea's nuclear and missile programmes as the US steps up the pressure on China, a historic ally of Pyongyang, to help reduce tension.
China has however been reluctant to isolate its neighbour, fearing its collapse could spawn a refugee crisis and bring the US military to its doorstep.
Mr Trump said in a recent interview that Washington was ready to act without Beijing's co-operation: "If China is not going to solve North Korea, we will."
The North is banned from any missile or nuclear tests by the UN, though it has repeatedly broken those sanctions.
Last month, North Korea fired four ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan from the Tongchang-ri region, near the border with China.
Japanese PM Shinzo Abe called it a "new stage of threat".
The US Treasury recently slapped sanctions on 11 North Korean business representatives and one company, while US politicians overwhelmingly backed a bill relisting the North as a state sponsor of terror.
North Korea responded by warning that it will retaliate if the international community steps up sanctions, saying the US was forcing the situation "to the brink of war".
China has long been North Korea's closest diplomatic ally and trading partner, but the relationship has become increasingly strained over Pyongyang's refusal to halt nuclear and missile testing.
There are fears that Pyongyang could eventually develop the ability to launch long-range nuclear missiles capable of striking the mainland US.
Tracy Ralph, 35, from Hawkwell, Essex, was taken to hospital with pneumonia on Christmas Eve and later developed meningitis and "deadly blood clots".
Her sister-in-law Amanda Ralph started fundraising for rehabilitation and "the best prosthetic feet we can buy".
Almost £80,000 of a £100,000 target has been raised in four days.
"It's a miracle. There must be a higher power at work here," Mrs Ralph told the BBC.
"We've had contributions from all over world, people have been giving thousands of pounds. We appreciate every penny."
Tracy, a mother of two small boys, was planning on running a half marathon later this year, but had to be put into an induced coma on Christmas Day.
She was treated for meningitis, septicaemia, blood clots and bleeding on the brain, her sister-in-law said.
Doctors had to amputate her feet and legs below the knee, as well as her fingers.
She has been in intensive care at St Thomas' Hospital in London, but might soon be moved back to Southend Hospital for further treatment, Mrs Ralph said.
"We decided to start fundraising because we want to give Tracy what she needs," said Mrs Ralph.
"The house will need to be renovated, she'll need prosthetics, an adapted car, a wheelchair, support from carers - we have no idea how much that's going to cost.
"If the money's there that people have so kindly donated, at least she'll have options," Mrs Ralph added.
The report, written by academic Dr Duncan Morrow, said this culture remained an obstacle to progress.
Dr Morrow, who headed an advisory group on tackling sectarianism, also called for a review of hate crime legislation.
The Scottish government said it was clear that more work was needed on sectarianism and that it was committed to taking forward the recommendations.
Dr Morrow said recent work had demonstrated the issue could be addressed through "active leadership and concerted effort".
He said a review of hate crime legislation should consider how sectarianism incidents could be integrated into a more general approach.
Dr Morrow called on the Scottish government to shift its emphasis away from historical blame.
He said the focus should be on ending the behaviours, attitudes and structures which underpinned sectarianism rather than naming and shaming any individual or group.
His recommendations include sharing of best practice across the relevant authorities, greater community involvement and a commitment to tackling the issue as part of equalities education in schools.
He also said there had been a disappointing lack of urgency from local authorities to the findings of his group, published in 2015.
"Local authorities should actively consider how best practice in tackling sectarianism can be shared more systematically across Scotland," he said.
Dr Morrow said football was only one part of the jigsaw of sectarianism.
He said he was sceptical as to whether government proposals to tackle the problem were sufficient to change the evident sectarian behaviour in Scottish football.
"I remain seriously concerned that the primary concern of the authorities remains to avoid responsibility rather than to take action," he said.
Community Safety Minister Annabelle Ewing said: "It is very clear from Dr Morrow's report that work remains to be done in eradicating sectarianism from sections of our society.
"Considerable work has been taken forward over the past few years and I am very pleased to note that some progress has been made since the final report by the advisory group, but more needs to be done."
She added: "The Scottish government cannot eradicate sectarianism in isolation and while we are committed to taking forward the recommendations that are for us, we must also continue to work with local authorities, the third sector, community groups, football clubs and more to foster a Scotland where sectarianism is consigned to history.
"Together we can nurture a modern nation that isn't weighed down by the prejudices of the past. I will now carefully consider Dr Morrow's report and respond in due course."
Dave Scott, campaign director of anti-sectarianism charity Nil by Mouth, said: "The contents of Dr Morrow's report highlights there is much to be optimistic about in terms of how Scotland is tackling sectarianism.
"Fifteen years on from Jack McConnell's 'secret shame' speech we now see many sections of society pulling together to show Scotland to be bigger, better and bolder than bigotry.
"However, it's clear from the report that Scottish football continues to be an obstacle to progress and it's consistent refusal to manage its own environment undermines efforts in wider society.
"Given the millions of pounds of public money the sport benefits from each year this cannot be allowed to continue and our political parties must ensure that the game steps up to the plate or faces the consequences of its inaction."
The satellite information is being used to predict where infections are likely to occur, enabling health agencies to better target their resources.
It is one example of the growing influence of space-borne data in new healthcare applications.
The development was reported at a meeting of American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Jose.
It is not possible, of course, to see individual snails from orbit, but specialists will have a very good idea of where these creatures prefer to be and the conditions under which they will thrive.
And so it is with the watersnails that carry the larvae of the worms that spread schistosomiasis through human populations in Africa. The disease is not usually a killer, but it is debilitating.
In Kenya, scientists are making satellite maps of all the watercourses where these snail carriers are likely to reside, and plotting how they will move across the landscape. This information is then compared with satellite data on where people live on that landscape.
The combination of the two maps shows the highest risk locations - the places health programmes should be concentrated.
Similar work is being done with disease-spreading insects, such as mosquitoes.
This field of spatial epidemiology has benefitted from the avalanche of data now coming from Earth observing satellites.
Uriel Kitron from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, conducted the schistosomiasis work in Kenya.
"One of the big challenges that all public health agencies have - and that's true you know in the UK, in the US or in Kenya - is limited resources.
"If we can help them target the resources in space and time, that is a huge service we can do."
Ken Linthicum from the US Department of Agriculture has been using space data to forecast the future risk of malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya and Rift Valley virus.
He cautions that satellites, as wonderful as they are, still have to be supported by work on the ground.
“The key is understanding the ecology and transmission dynamics of the disease beforehand. It's not really appropriate to look at data and then say, 'ok, how can I use that data?'.
"You have to know what’s going on with the disease. In the case of Rift Valley fever, we discovered that it was heavy rainfall that floods habitats, producing the hatch of mosquito eggs that produce the virus. In the case of chikungunya or dengue in Africa, for example, it’s drought conditions that enhance mosquito-breeding habitats near people and then the high temperatures that boost transmission in the mosquito."
But used with care, the satellite information can prove very powerful, said Prof Kitron.
"Another good example is lyme disease. Soil moisture is very important for survival of the ticks that transmit it. So, by mapping soil moisture by satellite you can create a good risk map.
"Another obvious one is vegetation because different types of vegetation are associated with different insect vectors of disease, or with birds and rodents that might be important. We can now actually map not just where there is vegetation, but the type of vegetation.”
The volume of data used in these applications will jump massively over the next few years as the European Union rolls out its Sentinel satellites.
This fleet of spacecraft represents the largest commitment in history to the observation of Earth from orbit, and all the information will be open and free to use.
Archie Clements from the Australian National University commented: "I do think there is going to be some key advantages of the availability of this data, partly because the spatial resolution is going to be high and also because the temporal resolution is going to be high – which means we’re going to be able to track the dynamics of diseases much more effectively over time and look at patterns of disease emergence and change."

His comments follow an independent review which recommends replacing the BBC Trust with a board of directors, half appointed by government ministers.
BBC's TV controller Charlotte Moore has also said she "didn't recognise" claims BBC One had become less distinctive.
Lord Hall made his speech on Tuesday morning in London.
Ms Moore, the BBC's controller of TV channels and iPlayer, was making her first speech in the role on Monday at the launch of a batch of new programmes.
She responded to Culture Secretary John Whittingdale's comments that the BBC had become much like its commercial rivals in some of its TV offering.
In comments last year, he cited entertainment programmes such as The Voice, which was recently bought by ITV.
Mr Whittingdale called for the creation of a "more distinctive" BBC after an in-depth review of the broadcaster's services said that BBC One had become "less innovative and less risk-taking".
But Ms Moore, whose role was expanded in January, said: "I don't recognise - and more importantly neither does the public recognise - what the secretary of state said about BBC One.
"I'm not sure how much more distinctive the last few weeks could have been - with new shows like The Night Manager, our mental health season, David Attenborough's Giant Dinosaur, Dickensian, War and Peace - not to mention the return of Happy Valley."
On Tuesday Mr Whittingdale stressed to journalists that he is a fan of the corporation.
He told a Press Gallery lunch: "I'll say it again. I love the BBC. I've not set out to destroy the BBC. Reports to the contrary are entirely incorrect."
The politician said news should be an "absolute core central activity of the BBC, and it should be a priority".
"There are savings within the BBC that don't require them to slash news budgets or close a channel", he said, adding "news is not the first place they should look, in many ways it should be the last place".
Lord Hall addressed the Media & Telecoms 2016 & Beyond Conference, saying he welcomed a "transparent and independent process" in deciding the future governance of the corporation.
His speech was in response to an independent report by Sir David Clementi, which also recommended shifting oversight of the BBC to the independent media regulator Ofcom.
Lord Hall said he largely welcomes the idea but set out his concerns about plans for the chairman, vice-chairman and four non-executive directors of the proposed BBC board to be appointed by the government.
"When it comes to appointing the members to the new unitary board - the BBC's editorial board - we will be arguing for a transparent and independent process, at arm's-length from the government," he said.
Sir David Clementi said his proposals would mean "half the board or slightly above half would be appointed independently" and that "once appointed, all directors must act in the best interests of the BBC... and uphold the BBC's editorial independence".
Lord Hall said: "Unlike any previous governing body, this unitary board is the very board that will set the editorial direction of the whole BBC.
"It will make key decisions on programmes and services, and it will work with me - as editor-in-chief - on how we manage our impartial journalism.
"It doesn't feel to me that these tasks should be undertaken by government-appointed board members. The BBC is one of the world's great public service broadcasters - not a state broadcaster."
He added: "When it comes to appointing the members to the new unitary board - the BBC's editorial board - we will be arguing for a transparent and independent process, at arm's-length from the government.
Lord Hall also repeated his call for the review of BBC charters to be carried out on an 11-year cycle to avoid discussion of the corporation's future coinciding with election campaigns.
The Clementi report is being considered by Mr Whittingdale, who is drawing up the government's forthcoming proposals for the BBC's next charter.
The BBC boss also confirmed that there were £80m of cuts to be made to the corporation's news budget.
"There will be tough choices ahead," he said.
"In the next few weeks, (head of news) James Harding's team will begin reporting back on their three-month review of everything we do in news. They have already set out £5m of savings, but now they are looking for around £80m more."
Councillor Tony Kershaw was suspended from the Conservative Group in May with a trial expected to take place in December.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the case had been discontinued in light of new evidence.
Mr Kershaw, who has represented Quorn and Barrow for 12 years, has now been readmitted to the party.
He is currently chairman of the council's environment and transport scrutiny committee and had previously sat as the cabinet member for waste.
A spokesman for the CPS said "further information, some of which was provided by the defence, came to light which has caused us to review the original decision to prosecute".
Conservative party leader Nick Rushton said he was looking forward to welcoming Mr Kershaw back to County Hall to resume his duties.
Saturday's 24-17 semi-final defeat by Saracens leaves Wasps with only the Premiership to concentrate on.
A top-four finish looks highly likely for Wasps, who can all but seal second place with victory at Sandy Park.
"We've got a shot at another title," Young told BBC Sport.
"It's a sobering thought that we've got to go to Sandy Park next week, but things just roll on.
"We're disappointed with Saturday's result and that we could not go at least one step further, but we've come a long way in a relatively short space of time.
"We were a little bit short. Sarries were the better team. Experience counted. They've been there a couple of times before, but we pushed them right to the edge. And I'm really proud."
"I'd be surprised if Sarries didn't go on and win it now," said Wasps joint-captain James Haskell.
"We gave it everything we had but Saracens are a team that plays that strangling rugby and it is very difficult to make inroads.
"It all comes down to inches in the end. It's all about little margins. But we've still got a very good side, we've got to pick up the pieces and, in the Premiership, it's all still to play for."
Sunday's sell-out at Sandy Park is the fifth time this season that Exeter Chiefs have sold out a top-flight game.
Wasps will start the day in second place, four points behind Premiership leaders Saracens, whose final two games both look relative formalities against two of the bottom three - Newcastle and Worcester.
Young's side are two points clear of Exeter, knowing that a bonus-point win on Sunday would guarantee a top-two place and home advantage in the play-offs.
That would be through having most wins (15 to Exeter's 13) - no matter how many bonus points the Chiefs pick up or how they get on in their final game at Harlequins the following week.
Wasps will have to wait to see if they are without prop forward Simon McIntyre.
He was sin-binned for kicking out at England lock Maro Itoje's face at the back of a ruck in the 69th minute at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday - and has since been cited for foul play.
The incident happened some time between 21:30 and midnight on Friday at Rosefield Salvage on the Irongray Road in Dumfries.
PC Keith Beattie, at Dumfries police office, said the metal would have taken "some manpower and time to shift".
Police want to hear from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious or any vehicles in the area.
Summer Grant, from Norwich, died in Harlow, Essex, on 26 March.
A two-minute silence was held at Harlow Town Park on Saturday, where candles were laid in the shape of two hearts as Summer's favourite music played.
Her uncle Shawn Grant thanked people for their "huge support" and said Summer would be "sending a huge hug".
Speaking at the vigil, held in the park where the tragedy occurred, Mr Grant said: "It really has brought the whole town together.
"We just thank everyone for their support, the messages, the donations, the teddy bears, just everything really. Thank you so much.
"I've tried to read every message on social media and like them all and possibly comment as well just to give that thanks on behalf of the whole family."
It is believed a strong gust of wind swept the dome-shaped inflatable that Summer had been playing on about 150m (492ft) across the park.
Paramedics were called but Summer died in hospital having suffered multiple injuries.
Two people, a 24-year-old woman and a man, 27, were later arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence and bailed until May, Essex Police said.
The properties in the town of Leyburn, near the Yorkshire Dales, lost their supply at 18:55 GMT on Friday.
More than 621 homes were originally affected by the power cut, but Northern Powergrid said it was able to restore electricity to 428 homes by "remote switching of the power network".
The company said it restored power to the remaining 190 homes on Saturday.
Elsewhere in the county, there have been reports of minor damage and small isolated power cuts due to the storm.
The first contingent of wounded British soldiers arrived on 30 May 1916 for internment in the tiny village of Chateau d'Oex.
Between 1916 and 1918, Switzerland accepted 68,000 sick and injured soldiers: French and German as well as British.
Under the agreement of the warring parties, and with the help of the Red Cross, they were transferred to Swiss mountain villages to recover, and to sit out the war.
It was, says Swiss historian Cedric Cotter, a pragmatic solution welcomed by all sides. "A lot of the prisoners needed medical care, but there weren't enough doctors in the POW camps, they were all at the front taking care of their own soldiers."
And, he adds, it was a chance for Switzerland, surrounded by belligerents at the time, to show that its neutrality could be useful. The example of neutral Belgium, invaded by the Germans in 1914, had shocked the Swiss, and for two years the government had, according to Mr Cotter, been trying to find policies that would keep the country safe.
"Humanitarian action {became} an important tool of Swiss foreign policy," he says.
But amid all the wider European events commemorating the centenary of the Great War, what happened in Switzerland might have been forgotten had it not been for Chateau d'Oex resident Guy Girardet, who began to wonder about a plaque in his local village church.
"It says 'In memory of the British soldiers who were interned in Switzerland from 1916 to 1918'," he explains. "And I was intrigued, what were they doing here in the First World War, and why does no one know anything about it?"
Mr Girardet began doing some research, and uncovered a dramatic tale. When the first train carrying wounded prisoners crossed the border into Switzerland, he learned, the rail tracks were lined with cheering Swiss citizens.
"There was a band at the station in Montreux," says Mr Girardet. And by the time the train arrived in Lausanne, "thousands of people were waiting, throwing flowers into the carriages".
On that train was Susie Kershaw's grandfather, Cyril Edward Joliffe, a captain in the Cheshire Regiment, who had been severely wounded in 1914, and had spent two years as a prisoner of war, being shunted from one German military hospital to the next.
"When he entered Switzerland, he was on a train with 27 officers and 304 men," says Susie Kershaw.
"They were completely overwhelmed by the kindness and welcome they received. He was on crutches by then, he wasn't ever really able to walk again properly."
Britain's ambassador to Switzerland at the time, Sir Evelyn Grant Duff, went to Chateau d'Oex to welcome the British soldiers, and wrote in his diary that evening: "It is difficult to write calmly about it for the simple reason that I have never before in my life seen such a welcome accorded to anyone, although for 28 years I have been present at every kind of function in half the capitals of Europe. At Lausanne some 10,000 people, at 5am, were present at the station.
"Our men were simply astounded. Many of them were crying like children, a few fainted from emotion. As one private said to me: "God bless you, sir, it's like dropping right into 'eaven from 'ell."
But why were the Swiss so very welcoming? The country was poor, and suffering food shortages because of the war, but its population of just four million was apparently delighted to accept 68,000 seriously injured young men, all of them requiring accommodation, food, and medical attention.
"I think they really wanted to help," says Cedric Cotter, "but there was also a certain amount of curiosity. People didn't have TV of course, so the only news they got of the war was from newspapers.
"But when they saw the internees, for some it was their first view of people that had lost a leg, an arm, some with a face totally destroyed, some so shocked they couldn't speak anymore. So they could realise how terrible the war is."
But there was another reason too: the start of World War One had virtually destroyed Switzerland's tourism industry. The traditional guests from Britain and Germany were simply no longer coming.
When Alpine resorts heard that the Swiss government was planning to build barracks for the internees, they offered to house them in their own empty hotels.
"They actually competed to host the soldiers," says Guy Girardet. "The reason Chateau d'Oex got the first contingent of British soldiers was because its letter [to the Swiss government] arrived first."
This was more than just an act of charity: the British, French, and German governments were paying for the upkeep of their soldiers.
While no-one got rich out of Switzerland's internee programme, Guy Girardet believes that for many hotels it made the difference, during the war, between survival and bankruptcy.
And so thousands of wounded soldiers were sent, not just to Chateau d'Oex, but to Verbier, Zermatt, Murren, and many other now well-known resorts.
The good food, mountain air, and peaceful surroundings were beneficial, but the return to health of so many young men caused a problem: boredom.
"Verbier is a tourist resort now," points out Cedric Cotter, "but in 1916 there was practically nothing, not even a pub."
The Swiss soon decided that parents, wives, and fiancees would be allowed to visit.
One young woman, Connie Kirkup, writes of getting lost on the long journey across Europe, and then arriving in the Alps to find her fiance Angus, well recovered from his injuries, taking part in a bobsleigh race: "My heart stood still, but oh it was great - and the English team won!"
Susie Kershaw's grandmother, Millicent, arrived in Chateau d'Oex in June 1916 to visit her husband Cyril, and, as Susie has just learned, her visit became more permanent.
"What we have is a [Swiss] baptism certificate for her first baby, dated May 1917, my uncle Geoffrey. So she stayed," she explains.
Her grandfather never fully recovered from his war injuries, dying in 1931 aged 48. But Susie Kershaw believes the transfer to Switzerland was of considerable help: "He had three children afterwards. Perhaps I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that."
One hundred years on, historian Cedric Cotter believes the welcome for so many wounded prisoners of war paid political dividends for Switzerland, encouraging its European neighbours to view its neutrality in a more positive light.
He suggests it even influenced the decision to use Geneva as the base for the new League of Nations, and ultimately the European headquarters of the United Nations. | Rotherham United sealed their Championship status for another season as Wolves were held to a fourth successive goalless draw at home.

He is the first person to be arrested as part of the investigation and was detained in County Antrim by the PSNI's Legacy Investigation Branch.
BBC News NI's Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney reports.
The WSL, in its sixth year, takes place in the English summer, with the 2016 season having started on 23 March.
The 2017-18 WSL will run from September to May after Women's Euro 2017, moving in line with other divisions in Europe.
The FA says it hopes the changes will help England win the 2023 World Cup, improve player welfare and double both participation and attendances.
England manager Mark Sampson described the move as "courageous" but thinks it will take the game forward.
"When I look at it the positives far outweigh the negatives, certainly from an England point of view," the 33-year-old said.
"The objective is to make sure we do as well as we can. We need the best players we can, the best support and with a fixture list that helps them develop and grow.
"Hopefully the way the season works moving forward, we will get players who are fit, they will be fresh and with all of the factors combined it gives us a better chance of a more competitive team."
A one-off, transitional competition, known as the FA WSL Spring Series, will run from February to June in 2017, alongside the Women's FA Cup, as part of the changes.
The FA has also revealed the WSL will take a one-month winter break from mid-December 2017 to mid-January 2018.
The Women's Premier League divisions - which include the third tier of women's football and below - are already played over the winter.
The WSL had planned to expand to 20 clubs by 2017, with no teams being relegated from WSL 2 to the WPL. That will continue, to 21 teams by 2017-18.
The summer schedule had been criticised by leading figures in the English game, including Chelsea Ladies manager Emma Hayes, for its impact on English clubs competing in Europe.
Speaking after a 2-1 loss in the first leg of her side's Champions League last-16 tie against German side Wolfsburg in November 2015, Hayes told BBC Sport: "Four weeks between games showed.
"I hope our Football Association do more to prepare better scheduling because if an English team is going to win the Champions League, we have to be more game ready.
"It's geared to French, German and Swedish teams, and until we change that or listen to clubs like Chelsea we are always going to get knocked out in the early rounds."
The Women's Champions League runs alongside the men's competition, with the 2016-17 final to be played in Cardiff on 1 June.
In 2014-15, Bristol Academy reached the quarter-finals of the competition, only to lose 12-0 on aggregate to Frankfurt in a March tie that came before Bristol had started their 2015 league campaign.
As the league switches from a summer schedule to winter, the WSL Spring series removes the prospect of a 10-month period without competitive matches for WSL teams.
Clubs will play each other just once between February and June, before England head to the Netherlands for Women's Euro 2017.
Fixtures will start in the same month in which WSL 2 clubs have typically entered the Women's FA Cup.
Trophies will be awarded to both divisional winners, but there will be no promotion or relegation.
Attendances in WSL 1 saw an overall rise of 48% in the 2015 season compared to 2014, with record crowds after England came third at the World Cup in Canada.
Manchester City Women were watched by the highest average crowd of 1,500.
Whether WSL clubs playing matches on the same days as their male counterparts would see an increase or decrease in attendances remains to be seen.
The 2015 and 2016 Women's FA Cup finals both saw record competition crowds at Wembley, with Arsenal beating Chelsea 1-0 in May this year in front of 32,912 people.

Ebdon, 45, only finished his second-round match at 01:30 GMT on Monday, but said he felt "fantastic" as won 6-3.
"I've probably had four or five bananas today, some apples, grapes - I feel as fresh as a daisy," said vegan Ebdon.
World number one Mark Selby survived a thrilling late night final-frame finish to beat Welshman Jamie Jones 6-5.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Leicester man trailed 2-0, 3-2, 4-3 and 5-4 but showed all his renowned battling ability to pull through.
Selby's only half-century came in frame three until a high-pressure clearance of 67 sealed a trademark comeback victory.
"Jamie deserved to win the match," said Selby, who had not lost a frame in his first two rounds. "I was just scraping through and I don't know how I won the game.
"The last frame was the best frame I played all match, right at the end when I needed to."
Jones added: "I just can't really believe I am sat here as a loser.
"I think I was the better player and could have won 6-2 but he always hangs on and that is the sign of a champion."
Selby's stunning comeback meant the biggest surprise of the day came in the afternoon session when Ebdon saw off 2015 Crucible champion Bingham.
"It would have been so easy for me to fold today," said Ebdon, the 2002 world champion and 2006 UK Champion.
"I love playing on the big stage and am over the moon to get through. I don't really feel like a snooker player when I play in the smaller events."
The veteran showed no tiredness and, after a cagey start, he closed out a 6-3 win with a classy 109 in the final frame.
"Peter played really well. He got in first most frames and controlled the tempo," World number two Bingham, 39, told BBC Sport.
"He rolled back the years there, particularly in the last frame with that ton."
Basildon's Bingham, the world number two, has struggled to find his best form since winning at the Crucible but had been impressive in winning through to the last 32.
There were also wins for three-time champion John Higgins, who brushed aside Ali Carter 6-2, and Northern Ireland's Joe Swail, who thrashed Michael Holt 6-1.
The Deal or No Deal host wants £50m in damages because he says the "criminal actions" of an HBOS manager brought his business "crashing down".
Mr Edmonds said Lloyds had shown no urgency to "right the grievous wrongs".
Lloyds said it had told "the customer concerned" they were part of a review that is assessing compensation.
Mr Edmonds' letter to Lord Blackwell follows one sent last week to Lloyds chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio.
Two former HBOS staff have been jailed for their part in a £245m loans scam.
They insisted small business customers used a specific turnaround firm. The HBOS managers were given bribes including cash and prostitutes and were jailed along with four others involved in the scam.
In the letter sent to Lord Blackwell on Monday, Mr Edmonds asked to meet him to explain the "suffering" inflicted on victims of the HBOS fraud.
"May I suggest therefore that you agree to such a meeting in the next few days so that you can then direct the future actions of your bank with a full understanding of the human cost of its wrongdoing," he wrote.
Lloyds has set up a £100m fund to compensate the victims of the fraud.
Mr Edmonds referred to last week's Lloyds annual meeting, at which he said Lord Blackwell "echoed" Mr Horta-Osorio's "personal pledge of prompt reparation".
He quoted Lord Blackwell as saying: "By quickly, I mean within weeks rather than months".
However, he said since only one individual had been given the job of assessing "complex and substantial" claims, it was "difficult to see" how Lord Blackwell's assurance that compensation would be paid "within weeks" could be adhered to.
Ten years ago Mr Edmonds' business, The Unique Group, collapsed.
"Not only did this cost me a vast amount financially, but it caused me great public humiliation, frustration and distress," he said in the letter.
"The impact that your employee had on the lives of many others was even more severe, with relationships and livelihoods destroyed and homes lost."
In a statement to the BBC, Lloyds - which did not mention Mr Edmonds by name - said: "We have confirmed to the customer concerned that they have been included in the review, which is being overseen by Professor Russel Griggs as Independent Reviewer.
"The review will assess any compensation due and will provide an opportunity for customers to input directly on any aspects of their interactions with the HBOS Impaired Assets office in Reading. We remain on track to begin making the first compensation offers before the end of May and anticipate making compensation offers by the end of June to all customers who have confirmed their participation in the review."
Steve Bannon, who has returned as head of ultra-conservative website Breitbart News, said he would fight for the agenda that won Mr Trump the election.
"I've got my hands back on my weapons," he said. "It's Bannon the Barbarian."
Mr Bannon helped shape the America First campaign message but fell foul of more moderate White House forces.
The 63-year-old has been accused of voicing anti-Semitic and white supremacist views.
He is the latest high-profile figure to leave the White House team. National Security Adviser Michael Flynn; press secretary Sean Spicer; chief of staff Reince Priebus and communications director Anthony Scaramucci have all gone.
Mr Trump paid tribute to Mr Bannon in an early-morning tweet on Saturday.

There had been suggestions Mr Trump was under renewed pressure to sack Mr Bannon following the violence at a far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last weekend, when a car was driven into counter-protesters, killing a woman.
But he told the Weekly Standard that he had informed Chief of Staff John Kelly and Mr Trump on 7 August that he would announce his resignation on the 14th. The tumult over the violence in Charlottesville postponed the announcement, he said.
President Trump had hinted at the situation during his controversial press briefing on the Virginia violence on Tuesday.
Although the president had defended Mr Bannon as "not a racist", saying he had received an unfair press, Mr Trump said "we'll see what happens" about him.
The only statement about Mr Bannon's sacking on Friday came from Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who said: "We are grateful for his service and wish him the best."
In his Weekly Standard interview, Mr Bannon said: "The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over.
"We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It'll be something else. And there'll be all kinds of fights, and there'll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over."
He added: "In many ways I think I can be more effective fighting from the outside for the agenda President Trump ran on. And anyone who stands in our way, we will go to war with."

Mr Bannon added: "I built a [expletive] machine at Breitbart. And now I'm about to go back, knowing what I know, and we're about to rev that machine up."
Breitbart itself carried the headline: 'Populist Hero' Stephen K Bannon Returns Home to Breitbart.
News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow said: "Breitbart gained an executive chairman with his finger on the pulse of the Trump agenda."
Breitbart executive Joel Pollak responded to the return of Mr Bannon with a singled-worded, hashtag tweet: #WAR.
By Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America reporter
Steve Bannon may be out as a senior White House adviser, but Bannonism - if that's what it can properly be called - is still firmly entrenched in the White House.
Donald Trump has repeatedly boasted that the success of his presidential campaign should properly be attributed to him, not Mr Bannon. And, in the end, Mr Bannon's desire to take credit for that win may have been what did him in.
It certainly wasn't because of any sharp ideological divides between the president and the former head of Breitbart News.
Border security, aggressive trade protectionism, immigration reform and a certain kind of cultural nostalgia - all were themes that Mr Trump ran on from the start, which Mr Bannon only sharpened and focused. They're also issues Mr Trump has pushed in recent weeks, even as Mr Bannon has been increasingly marginalised.
Mr Bannon's firing will be seen as a win for chief of staff John Kelly, whose attempts to instil discipline in the White House will get a boost without the free-wheeling Mr Bannon roaming the hallways.
Trump was Trump before Mr Bannon came on the scene, however. And as the rollercoaster ride that was politics this week indicates, the president isn't changing anytime soon.
Mr Trump raised eyebrows this year when he elevated Mr Bannon to the National Security Council, the main group advising the president on national security and foreign affairs.
But he was subsequently removed in a move that was seen as a sign of National Security Adviser HR McMaster's growing influence over the president.
Mr Bannon has reportedly feuded with Mr McMaster as well as Gary Cohn, the director of the president's National Economic Council and a former Goldman Sachs chief viewed as a "globalist".
Mr Cohn, along with President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter, Ivanka Trump, were viewed as threats to Mr Bannon's White House agenda.
Mr Trump had reportedly grown weary of Mr Bannon taking credit for his victory and also saw him as a serial leaker of information to the press.
Mr Bannon's interview this week with the American Prospect, a liberal magazine, also reportedly infuriated the president.
The White House aide was quoted as dismissing the idea of a military solution in North Korea, undercutting Mr Trump.
For the first time in their history, Wales moved above England in September's Fifa world rankings.
Roy Hodgson's men have already reached the Euro 2016 finals, while Wales need one point from their remaining two qualifiers to secure their place.
"There will be a bit of banter between me and some of my (English) team-mates at Arsenal. It is always a great game, a committed game," Ramsey said.
"I have been involved in two before. So yeah, why not play them? If it does happen, it will be a great game."
Should Wales qualify for France, it opens the prospect of both sides being drawn against each other in the group stage at the 24-team tournament.
The old rivals could also choose to arrange a friendly as part of their preparations for the finals. England are already scheduled to face France and Germany in friendlies before the tournament.
Wales are yet to arrange any friendly games for next year.
The most recent games between the two side came during the Euro 2012 qualifiers, when England won 2-0 in Cardiff and 1-0 at Wembley in 2011.
Wales' last success was a 1-0 win in Wrexham in 1984, which was only their 14th win in 101 attempts.
A goalless draw with Israel in Cardiff on Sunday meant Wales could not yet celebrate qualification.
The result means Chris Coleman's men need a point in their remaining games in October away to Bosnia-Herzegovina and at home to Andorra.
But Wales striker Hal Robson-Kanu believes they were wrongly denied an opportunity to seal qualification against Israel when the additional official behind the goal line failed to award a penalty when defender Eitan Tibi appeared to handle the ball in the second half.
"It was a blatant handball," said the 26-year-old Reading forward, who was being marked by Tibi when the defender touched the ball.
"I was shocked to see the official standing so close, so it was surprising he didn't give it, but it was just one of those days.
"The official I was looking at - he obviously didn't want to put his neck on the line and if he had done he would have made the right decision, but there you go."
Wales remain unbeaten in eight matches and top of the qualifying group, and Robson-Kanu is confident they will finish the job and qualify for the finals of a major tournament for the first time since 1958.
"We'll be fully focused on getting the job done and I'm sure we will," he added on BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"And when we get there we'll be looking to achieve something special."

Catholics, they say, should engage with the process leading to a proposed new deal to be signed in Paris next year.
The statement is the first time that senior church figures from every continent have issued such a call.
Negotiators in Lima are currently trying to advance the outline text of an agreement at UN-led talks.
With 1.2bn people worldwide calling themselves Catholic, the church has considerable potential to influence public debate on any issue.
On climate change, some bishops have previously called for rapid decarbonisation and argued for moves to protect the most vulnerable.
But this is first time that such a global collection of senior priests have made such a call.
In their statement, the bishops say they want a "deepening of the discourse at the COP20 in Lima, to ensure concrete decisions are taken at COP21 to overcome the climate challenge and to set us on new sustainable pathways".
Monsignor Salvador Piñeiro GarcÃa-Calderón, Archbishop of Ayacucho, and president of the Peruvian Bishops' Conference, said: "We bishops from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe have engaged in intense dialogue on the issue of climate change, because we can see it's the poorest people who are impacted the most, despite the fact they've contributed the least to causing it.
"They're the ones who respect the planet, the Earth, the soil, the water and the rainforests.
"As the church, we see and feel an obligation for us to protect creation and to challenge the misuse of nature. We felt this joint statement had to come now because Lima is a milestone on the way to Paris, and Paris has to deliver a binding agreement."
The bishops argue that nations should aim to keep the rise in global temperatures below 1.5C.
This goes further than the current position of many negotiators who say that 2 degrees represents the threshold for dangerous climate change.
The bishops say this is necessary "in order to protect frontline communities suffering from the impacts of climate change, such as those in the Pacific Islands and in the coastal regions."
As well as calling for the phasing in of 100% renewable energy, there is a strong focus on finance for adaptation in the statement.
The Bishops say that solving the climate challenge with a new treaty will be a key step towards a new economic approach.
"In viewing objectively the destructive effects of a financial and economic order based on the primacy of the market and profit, which has failed to put the human being and the common good at the heart of the economy, one must recognise the systemic failures of this order and the need for a new financial and economic order."
Ministers from around the world have joined their negotiators in Peru in an effort to drive forward the talks process. While the atmosphere has been positive, little progress has been made.
Environmental activists are planning a large scale demonstration in the centre of Lima on Wednesday in an effort to increase pressure on negotiators.

According to prosecutors he was playing the computer game on his mobile phone and made a signalling error, then dialled the wrong emergency number.
He has admitted that version of events, German media report.
Two commuter trains collided on a single-track stretch near Bad Aibling.
Eighty-five passengers suffered injuries, some of them life-threatening.
The man could be charged with involuntary manslaughter and could face five years in jail.
The trains crashed head-on while both were travelling at about 100km/h (60mph) east of Bad Aibling, a spa town about 60km (37 miles) south-east of Munich.
Investigators quoted by German media said the timings of the computer game and the crash pointed to "the accused having been distracted from his management of rail traffic at the junction".
The stretch of line had an automatic signalling system designed to halt any train that passed a stop signal.
But reports in German media suggested that the system had been switched off to let the eastbound train, which was running late, go past.
The investigation ruled out technical faults with the trains or signalling system as being behind the crash.
All those killed in the crash were men aged between 24 and 59.
Train crash: Evidence of human error
In case signals fail, German railways are fitted with a final safety guard to prevent crashes.
Cab signalling known as PZB (Punktfoermige Zugbeeinflussung - or "intermittent train control") will set off an alarm in the driver's compartment when the train approaches a red light.
If the driver does not respond by pressing a button, the train will brake automatically.
Bradley Lowery, from Blackhall, County Durham, who has neuroblastoma, has been accepted on a new cell therapy trial.
A message on the five-year-old's campaign website said he had "a tough week" and was "not too grand".
The new treatment was "still in the very early stages but it has shown promise in other types of cancer", it said.
Bradley's parents had a meeting at Great Ormond Street Hospital to sign consent for the new CAR T-cell trial, they said.
The five-year-old has led out the England team at Wembley and his home team of Sunderland.
He was also invited to the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year show.
He has developed a friendship with Jermain Defoe after Defoe and other Sunderland players Vito Mannone, John O'Shea and Sebastian Larsson visited him in hospital.
Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer of unknown cause which affects babies and young children.
Cyclone Winston brought winds of over 320 kph (200 mph), torrential rain and waves of up to 12m (40ft).
Flights have been cancelled, evacuation centres activated and a nationwide curfew put in place.
The category five storm - the highest level - is expected to move westwards over the main island overnight Saturday and into Sunday morning.
Before it landed, Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama warned that Fiji was facing "an ordeal of the most grievous kind".
"We must stick together as a people and look after each other. Be alert and be prepared," he said.
Cyclone Winston has already brushed some of Fiji's smaller islands, but the extent of the damage is unclear.
Assessment teams are being sent to the affected areas, the Fiji Times reported.
The Fijian capital Suva is likely to be spared the full forces of the storm but tourist resorts are close to the cyclone's centre.
About 900,000 people live on Fiji.
A body found near to the Bridge of Sourden in the Rothes area has been identified as Kathleen Edward, 85, from nearby Aberlour.
A second body recovered in the same area was later identified as Rosemary Laing, 77, who went missing from her home in Rothes.
It is understood police are treating the deaths as unrelated.
Ch Insp Stewart Mackie, of Police Scotland, said: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the public for their help and information in relation to the searches for both ladies.
"The support from the public for both of these sad cases has been very much appreciated.
"I would also like to express our gratitude for the assistance we've received from the coastguard and members of the Braemar mountain rescue team."
Kathleen Edward was last seen on Monday and reported missing from the Broomfield Square area of Aberlour on Tuesday afternoon.
Rosemary Laing was last spoken to on Tuesday evening and reported missing the following day.
Its pre-tax loss increased to £5.3m last year compared with £3.5m in 2015.
The company, which is under pressure from investors to make top level changes, also said revenue fell 6.7% last year to £153.2m.
Last month, major investor Schroders lost patience and sold its chunk, enabling Sports Direct's Mike Ashley to pick up an 11% stake.
Another major investor, Gatemore Capital Management, is agitating for change.
The company was founded in 1972 by chief executive and chairman Stephen Marks, who owns 41% of the business. However, for one person to hold the top two posts at a company is not seen as good management practice.
Liad Meidar, managing partner at Gatemore, said: "We are disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised, that French Connection have failed to improve on last year's dismal results.
"The board is a mockery of modern corporate governance. With the resignation of Christos Angelides, there are no independent directors in place and the chairman/CEO, Stephen Marks, is refusing to split his role and is running the business with no regard for shareholders."
Mr Meidar said he thought the business was worth two to three times the £34m it is currently valued at by the stock market.
Mr Marks said French Connection's retail business in the UK and Europe had seen "good progress", with sales at stores open for more than a year up 4.4%.
However, it said the business had been "partly held back" by a poorer performance at its wholesale and licensing divisions.
French Connection has more than 50 stores in the UK and mainland Europe. It shut nine stores last year, has shut two outlets so far this year and is planning to close another six shops before the end of 2017.
It aims to get the store chain down to 30 outlets.
Wada director David Howman stated his agency will contest the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Essendon chief Paul Little said Wada's actions came as "a surprise".
An Australian Football League tribunal had concluded it was not "comfortably satisfied" any player was administered a banned peptide substance.
In 2013, Little's Australian Football League (AFL) team were investigated by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (Asada) into supplements administered to players the previous season.
Essendon were one of two Australian Rules teams along with six top-flight rugby league clubs in the country under scrutiny following a report suggesting doping in sport in the country.
The club were initially fined Aus $2m (£1m) by the AFL and banned coach James Hird for 12 months following an interim report by Asada that highlighted management failings regarding the possibility that players could have doped.
In 2014, Asada then acted on 34 Essendon players - past and present - it believed were allegedly administered a banned peptide thymosin beta 4, which promotes muscle growth, by Essendon sports scientist Stephen Dank. The players were handed a provisional suspension pending an AFL tribunal.
That tribunal in March 2015 cleared the players, while Asada opted not to appeal against the verdict.
Dank was also cleared of 21 breaches of the league's drug code, but was found guilty of 10 charges of "trafficking, attempting to traffic and complicity in matters related to a range of prohibited substances". Dank will appeal against those charges.
The drop has been due to a big recent increase in the supply of properties becoming available, mainly in London.
That was due to some landlords rushing to buy last year before a 3% stamp duty surcharge came into effect.
The average new tenancy in England, Wales and Scotland fell 0.6% in the year to February, to £921 a month.
The main factor was a big drop in rents in London and the south east of England.
In the capital they fell by nearly 5% in the past year to an average of £1,246 a month, and in the south east of England they fell by nearly 3% to £1,152.
Everywhere else rental levels continued to rise.
"Rents are growing in most of the country but falls in London and the south east are dragging down the national growth rate, " said Countrywide's research director Johnny Morris.
"Early signs point towards 2017 being a rare year where rents rise faster in the north of the country than in the south."
Countrywide's research is at odds with the most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Its latest figures, for the year to January 2017, showed that rents for private tenants across the UK had risen by 2.2.%.
When the figures were published last month, the ONS commented that "inflation in the rental market is likely to have been caused by demand in the market outpacing supply" - a different message from that of Countrywide.
Countrywide reported that across Britain there had been a 5% rise in the number of people looking for homes to rent during the past year, but in London, and the south east of England, the number of would-be tenants had dropped, down by 3% and 5% respectively.
Everywhere else, the estate agency said, tenant demand had continued to grow, especially in the East Midlands, the east of England and the north west of England.
On the other side of the coin, Countrywide said that in February this year there were 10% more homes available to rent than a year ago.
But the agency expects this apparent over-supply of rental properties to be flushed out of the market in the coming year, with average national rents starting to grow again after that.
Rail and Maritime Transport (RMT) union members plan to walk out from 21:00 GMT on 21 February in a row about staffing.
Central, Waterloo and City lines will be affected.
Both sides claim they have tried hard to resolve the dispute through negotiations. A spokesman for London Underground's Central line operations said he apologised to customers for the disruption.
The issue in contention is believed to be the transfer of drivers from their home depot at the eastern end of the line to other depots in central London, requiring them to travel further.
Peter McNaught, Central line operations director, said: "We have minimised the number of employees affected from over 30 to eight.
"All of these moves are within the long-standing agreements we have made with the unions."
He urged the union to call off the strike.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "RMT negotiators have made strenuous efforts through the Acas machinery to resolve this dispute but the door has been slammed in our faces.
"To up the ante, LU have now written to us confirming that they will be bulldozing through the displacements regardless."
He said displacements referred to the movement of drivers to fill gaps left by staffing shortages.
The club's board signed a 99-year lease on the ground which has been Wrexham's home for most of its 152-year history.
Glyndwr University has handed Wrexham owners, the club's Supporters Trust, control which has resulted in a financial shortfall of £200,000.
Mills said: "It's about what's right for the club and the way forward."
Wrexham have been working towards promotion out of the non-league since suffering relegation from the Football League in 2008.
But manager Mills added: "When you make the move like the football club have someone has to suffer a little bit and that's possibly me slightly. But that's not an issue to me.
"My job is to make sure I put a team out here to go and win a game of football."
Wrexham's off-the-field difficulties were eased in 2011 when the local Glyndwr University bought the ground and fans group Wrexham Supporters' Trust took over the club in a partnership agreement.
The trust board signed the Racecourse lease after fans gave their backing in a vote in March, which will see the football club take operational control of the world's oldest international football ground still in use.
Wrexham chief executive Don Bircham confirmed regaining control of the Racecourse Stadium had resulted in a shortfall of £200,000.
"People talk about income streams from having the stadium and that's great," Bircham said.
"Of course there's some significant costs associated with it but we look forward to the challenge.
"We've had a great start with season tickets and the fans have been as supportive as always so we've got money in the bag from that."
Mills hopes Wrexham regaining control of the Racecourse will be the start of a successful era for the National League club.
"It's a great move. I feel it's all going well and hopefully this is the start of something successful," Mills added.
Wrexham, who finished eighth in the National League in 2015-16, host Dover Athletic in their first game of the season on Saturday as they prepare for their ninth year outside of the Football League.
When vice chancellors and presidents are gathered together, they often match the stereotypes of being grey, male and pale.
But not Ana Mari Cauce, president of the University of Washington in Seattle in the United States.
As well as being a first lady in Washington - as in the first female president of this major US university - she is also Cuban-American and gay.
It gives her a different perspective on the wave of protests about race and identity that have hit US university campuses.
When Dr Cauce delivered a speech to students about prejudice and arguments about campus racism, it was a long way from the usual platitudes.
Her own story has been much tougher than those of the many students now protesting.
She told her students, in painful detail, about how she had been rejected by her mother when she came out as gay.
Born in Cuba, she came to the US at the age of three, and her parents worked in a shoe factory - despite her father having been a minister of education in Cuba.
Her brother was a civil rights campaigner who was killed at an anti-Ku Klux Klan rally - and she told her students how she had had to break the news of his death to her mother.
"Because my mother didn't understand English well, it fell on me to tell her what had happened. I'll never forget the sound she made. It was not quite human. It was unbearable for us both."
It was a long way from a traditional speech of a president from a top-ranking university.
So what does she think is causing the current soul-searching about racism in universities?
"It's everything to do with changing demographics," says Dr Cauce, speaking in London.
"It's now in your face, literally. The face of our country. We tend to think in terms of majority and minority, but in the US we're at a point where there is no majority."

Dr Cauce, a professor of psychology, says universities have still to catch up with a society in which there is no longer a single dominant group or culture.
In the past, she says, black and Latino students, or those from poorer backgrounds, might have felt that the university system "wasn't made with you in mind".
But now universities, with their own long traditions, are facing difficult questions about how to be more inclusive.
Such debates have seen Harvard Law School change its seal, part of which was the coat of arms of a notoriously brutal slave owner. Harvard has also dropped the title "master" for members of staff, because of uncomfortable associations with slavery.
Dr Cauce says that such symbolic decisions are difficult for universities, which are balancing a sense of continuity and tradition with the need to be sensitive to contemporary expectations of students. They have to be "timely and timeless," she says.
But she says fear of being accused of being racist or bigoted should not be used as an excuse for avoiding controversial subjects.
She argues it is better to have "difficult conversations" rather than hide behind a cosmetic appearance of inclusivity.
Dr Cauce uses the image of a university cafeteria - where it might appear from the outside to be an integrated student body but where, on closer inspection, ethnic groups are sticking to their separate tables.
"You can have all the diversity in the world but if all the kids are sitting in their own spaces in the cafeteria but not talking to each other, you're missing the point."
She says there is no point in trying to "sugarcoat" the racism and prejudice that is part of society.
But when it is challenged it is often about misunderstandings rather than malice.
"In my experience, often when students do things that are very offensive, it can be done more out of ignorance than purposefully," says Dr Cauce.
The polarisation in politics - being played out in the presidential election campaigns - is also adding to the rising temperature on such issues, she says.
What makes the stakes even higher is that universities have increasingly become the "gatekeepers" for entry into middle class professions.
This means that ethnic groups missing out on university, or feeling that they don't fit in, can be excluded from getting a good job.
"More and more a university degree is becoming the calling card to success in the future, to being able to achieve leadership positions," says Dr Cauce.
"We have a real obligation to make sure higher education remains accessible - either by low cost or a good system of scholarships."
In terms of affordability, Washington's tuition fees are cheaper than universities in England.
Fees for students from Washington state are about $12,000 (£8,200) a year and after means-testing for financial support, about a third of these students pay no fees at all.
It's also reaching a lot of people, with 45,000 students on campus and another 50,000 studying online.
Dr Cauce says she would be delighted if her own story helped to give confidence to a young person thinking of applying to university.
But she also says that people can "transcend" their own history.
The conclusion of the story of her relationship with her mother, after she told her that she was gay, shows how attitudes can change. And it's hard to think of a more honest speech from a university head.
"She even offered to sell her condo, her only real possession of worth, to get me conversion treatment," Dr Cauce told her students.
"It was tough between us for several years, until finally something changed. I'm still not quite sure how, but she was ready to visit me in our house.
"She grew to love my partner, now spouse. Years later, trying to fight her way back from a massive stroke, my mother died in my arms, and I knew she was proud of me.
"I think she knew I was proud of her. It was the last gift we gave each other."
The House of Representatives Ways and Means backed the bill, followed by the Energy and Commerce Committee, moving it to a full chamber vote.
Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress, hope to pass their replacement for Obamacare by mid-April.
But it faces resistance from Democrats, hospitals and even some Republicans.
The Energy and Commerce Committee approved the bill along party lines after more than 24 hours of debate over the proposed legislation.
"This is an historic step, an important step in the repeal of Obamacare," said Republican Representative Kevin Brady, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
It approved the bill, which was unveiled on Monday, after nearly 18 hours of debate.
The committee made no changes to the draft legislation - known as the American Health Care Act - despite Democratic attempts to introduce amendments.
The new plan would dismantle much of Mr Obama's 2010 Affordable Care Act.
It also:
But the American Hospital Association (AHA), which represents about 5,000 hospitals and health networks, said current provisions for "our most vulnerable" would be thrown into doubt under the plan.
The president of the AHA said in a letter to Congress the ability to assess the bill was "severely hampered" by the lack of a proper cost estimate.
The Congressional Budget Office is not expected until next week to put a price tag on the proposed overhaul of the more than $3tn (£2.4tn) US healthcare system.
Democrats continue to argue that it is impossible to push through a bill without knowing its cost and how many Americans would be affected.
Senator Tom Cotton, a conservative Republican from Arkansas, shared that concern in a series of tweets on Thursday after the vote.
He told House members to "pause, start over" and "get it right, don't get it fast".
"What matters in the long run is better, more affordable [healthcare] for Americans, NOT House leaders' arbitrary legislative calendar," he added.
Some moderate Republicans are also concerned people will be stripped of cover by the legislation.
President Donald Trump is meanwhile exercising his vaunted salesman skills to rally support behind the health bill.
On Thursday, he tweeted that "healthcare is coming along great" and "it will end in a beautiful picture!"
House Representative Tom Cole, who joined lawmakers at a meeting with the president on Wednesday, told Bloomberg Mr Trump had suggested weekly meetings.
Some lawmakers have been invited to hang out on Thursday at the White House's bowling alley, according to the report.
Mr Trump has dined with former foes including Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Ted Cruz, who brought his family to the White House on Wednesday night.
Overall, the plan is expected to cover fewer people than those who gained insurance under the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act.
The national organisation is responsible for developing and promoting literature and runs events such as the Wales Book of the Year competition.
Mr Pullman, of Llanbedr, Gwynedd, wrote the trilogy His Dark Materials.
In his role as patron, he said he hoped to encourage children that "writing has a purpose and brings pleasure".
Birmingham City Council is due to make a decision on the future of lollipop ladies and men later this month.
It says it is looking at several ways to finance patrols.
But according to the GMB union, 180 staff have already been told they will be made redundant unless schools pay £5,100 a year towards the cost.
In response, the local authority says no confirmation of job losses has been communicated to its wardens, although it admitted funding by schools was among its options.
The GMB's Gill Whittaker said: "We ran a campaign last year to save the jobs of lollipop wardens.
"The council pledged to continue to directly employ around 180 school crossing patrol wardens working on sites where there is an identified high risk.
"It is disappointing that they now appear to have done a U-turn, so the wardens are again at risk of redundancy."
A Birmingham City Council spokesman said: "What we are trying to do is find different ways to fund school crossing patrols.
"That could be money that comes from schools individually paying for them.
"It could be businesses paying for them and we are looking at setting up a school safety trust where businesses and other local employers would be able to put money towards the safety of our children locally."
He added: "We are going to be looking at every individual site to look at the existing road safety measures that we have invested in and also whether there are additional things we could be putting in before any decision on withdrawing any individual patrols will be made."
A US study found men and women in their 50s and 60s with a history of alcohol abuse were more likely to have memory problems up to two decades later.
The study, in The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, adds to growing evidence that excessive drinking can impair mental processing later.
Researchers say it is a public health issue that needs to be addressed.
Scientists questioned 6,500 US middle-aged adults about their past alcohol consumption.
They were asked three specific questions:
Those who answered yes to one of these questions were considered to have a problem with alcohol.
They had more than double the risk of developing severe memory impairment, the study found.
"We know that alcohol is bad for the brain in general, but it's not just how much you drink but how it affects you," lead researcher, Dr Iain Lang, from the University of Exeter Medical School, told the BBC.
"The amount that you drink is important - what is also important is if you experience any problems in your drinking or if other people tell you you have a problem."
He advised drinking within recommended daily and weekly amounts and to cut down if affected by any of the items in the questionnaire, as this could increase dementia risk.
Dr Doug Brown, director of research and development at the Alzheimer's Society charity, said there was a hidden cost of alcohol abuse, given mounting evidence that alcohol misuse can impact on cognition later in life.
"This small study shows that people who admitted to alcohol abuse at some point in their lives were twice as likely to have severe memory problems, and as the research relied on self-reporting that number may be even higher.
"This isn't to say that people need to abstain from alcohol altogether. As well as eating a healthy diet, not smoking and maintaining a healthy weight, the odd glass of red wine could even help reduce your risk of developing dementia."
Dr Eric Karran, science director at Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "Although studies such as this one can be very useful for observing health trends, it's important to note that they are not able to show cause and effect, and it's not clear whether other factors may also have influenced these results."
It said mobile phones had no place in the courtroom, and banned judges from using them while hearing a case.
At the time, the judge was presiding over the trial of two men on stabbing charges at a court in Frankfurt.
Lawyers for the accused lodged a motion of bias against the defence after the judge was seen using a mobile phone.
Germany's Federal Court of Justice (BGH) threw out the convictions after the judge - who has not been identified - was found to have checked the phone several times during 10 minutes of witness testimony.
The judge also texted a babysitter twice when the hearing ran over longer than expected.
BGH judge Thomas Fischer said mobile phones "do not belong in the courtroom - that goes for onlookers, lawyers and of course also for judges".
He stressed that judges must be focused on the case at all times.
The man - who has become known as "horse-boy" - can be seen in the Hardgate area of the city.
The sighting has become a popular attraction on Google's service, which offers a photographic map of streets.
The man is wearing dark trousers, a purple shirt - and a brown and white horse's head.
Dozens of BBC news website users have e-mailed from across Europe to say they know who horse boy is.
Your pictures of 'horse-boy'
Others have sent in images of the mystery horse-head wearer and some have claimed to be him.
Stefan Kleen from Germany said he and a friend met horse-boy at a German festival last weekend.
He added: "He only spoke English so we didn't really talk a lot to him."
Anders Hauge reckons he has been shopping in Haugesund in Norway; John Hammond was convinced he was playing the fairways and relaxing in the bars of Marbella and Julian Sykes said he had been sighted in Cardiff.
John Ainsworth insisted he saw horse-boy in Norwich earlier in the year walking through Wensum Park.
He said: "I thought I was hallucinating at first but then realised it was real."
Other readers have not been impressed with the story and some have told the website that it is not newsworthy and is a prank to generate further publicity.
And Gareth Remblance pointed out: "Horse boy isn't a person, it's a cheap mask - for example I saw at least three people wearing similar heads at this year's Download Festival in Donington."
A number of contributors have said that horse-boy features in other parts of Google's street view service.
Mark Coates said: "If you go down the road and turn back you can see him putting on the horse head and on the shot back up the road again he has white hair."
The BBC news website story had more than 874,000 hits on Thursday, and more on Friday took the total through the one million barrier.
The initiative was launched just before the Commonwealth Games in 2014 with 400 bikes located at 31 hire stations. There are now 435 bikes at 43 stations.
Glasgow City Council wants up to 900 bikes at 100 stations by next year.
Some of these would be located further afield such as Springburn in the north, Shawlands in the south, Tollcross in the east and Scotstoun in the west.
Bailie Elaine McDougall, the council's executive member for transport, environment and sustainability, said: "The people of Glasgow and surrounding areas have really embraced our cycle hire scheme, based on usage figures.
"The bikes are being seen in use all over the city and are very popular also with commuters, students, businesses and visitors.
"We receive overwhelming feedback from users of the scheme and numerous requests for more stations."
The current provider of the scheme, NextBike, operates 15,000 bikes in 80 cities worldwide, including Auckland, Dubai and Zagreb. Glasgow is the biggest bike scheme in the UK outside London and Liverpool.
The council's three-year contract with NextBike ends next year, with the option to extend it by two further 12-month periods.
EU procurement rules, however, mean there can be no further expansion of the current scheme without a competitive tender.
That process will begin at the end of the month, after which a known cost will emerge and the preferred bidder identified.
The authority hopes to have the first batch of new bike stations opened by Spring 2017.
Details of the scheme were put before members of the council's sustainability and the environment policy development committee on Thursday.
Mr Umunna, who is backing Liz Kendall to replace Ed Miliband, said he had withdrawn from the contest because his "heart wasn't in it".
He previously cited the "pressure and scrutiny" that came with the role.
The Streatham MP told BBC Newsnight there were "no skeletons", adding: "I have absolutely nothing to hide."
Mr Umunna hopes to assume a prominent role for Labour within the EU referendum campaign.
But he acknowledged concerns for the party, suggesting campaigning alongside Conservatives and too vociferously in favour of EU membership could make the party vulnerable to UKIP.
There are 44 seats where UKIP is now in second place to Labour.
"There is a degree of hesitancy on the Labour side when it comes to making the case for us to stay in," Mr Umunna said.
"I think everyone is agreed that is where we are and that is our position as a party, but the extent to which we should put ourselves at the forefront of the campaign to stay in there is a degree of hesitancy.
"There is a worry that what beset us after the Scottish referendum - where we were on the winning side of the argument in terms of the way the referendum went but we saw the fall out after - there is a worry that that same fate will beset the Labour party in parts of England."
He said it was a "worry" that this could hand seats to UKIP.
Explaining why he ruled himself out of the contest, Mr Umunna said: "The level of media attention and pressure… when it began to affect my girlfriend, her family and my family and we had reporters for example going to her family when they were in the middle of having their Sunday roast with her 97-year-old grandmother - I found that very hard to stomach."
He added: "For once I thought in my life I'm going to put my family, my girlfriend, her family, put them first - and this is not the right time for me.
"My heart wasn't really in it at that moment, particularly going through that experience.
"There were no skeletons, no revelations, I have absolutely nothing to hide."
Asked whether he could ever withstand the scrutiny, he said: "If I ever chose to do something like this in the future then I'd have a much better understanding of it, but what I would say is I hope that issue of standing for the leadership never presents itself in my political journey again, because there should not be a vacancy because we will have a Labour PM in place in 2020.
"Never say never, but right now this is not the priority in my life… I wouldn't say it was impossible but I think it's quite unlikely"
He also said Ms Kendall had been "making all the arguments that I would have been making if I was still in the contest".
The Amaq news agency, linked to IS, earlier acknowledged that Abu Muhammad al-Adnani had died in Aleppo province.
Russia says Adnani died on Tuesday in a Su-34 bomber raid on the village of Umm Hawsh.
The US had earlier said that one of its aircraft had targeted Adnani in the city of al-Bab.
Adnani 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.
His death is considered a major blow to the jihadist group, which has suffered a series of military reverses in both Syria and Iraq.
Islamic State group - the full story
Is besieged Aleppo facing last gasp?
Umm Hawsh is 24km (15 miles) north of Aleppo and 28km west of al-Bab.
Russia's defence ministry said Adnani was one of up to 40 militants killed in air strikes there by the Su-34 bomber.
It said its information had been confirmed "through several intelligence channels".
This is the first time Moscow has said it has killed a key IS leader.
However later on Wednesday, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said that "we have no information to support" Russia's involvement.
One unnamed US defence official earlier told Reuters news agency that "Russia's claim is a joke".
And another US official told Agence France-Presse that the US strike had been carried out by a Predator drone, which fired a Hellfire missile at a car believed to be carrying Adnani.
Adnani - who was also the group's spokesman - was "martyred while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo", Amaq said, without giving details about how he died.
Fighting has escalated around the city in recent weeks, with rebels breaking a siege by government forces and Syrian and Russian warplanes bombing rebel-held areas.
One of the group's founder members, Adnani was born Taha Sobhi Falaha in the northern Syrian town of Banash in 1977.
In June 2014, he formally declared the establishment of the IS caliphate stretching across parts of Syria and Iraq under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
He went on to release audio recordings urging lone-wolf attacks against civilians in nations that supported the US-led coalition against IS.
Earlier this year, he called for attacks during Ramadan, with followers carrying out the Orlando nightclub shooting, the truck attack in the French city of Nice and a massive suicide bombing in Baghdad.
The four were abducted at a checkpoint near the city of Sirte, where they were teaching at a university.
The Islamic State (IS) group has a strong presence in Sirte, hometown of former leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Libya has descended into chaos since Gaddafi's death in October 2011, with various militias fighting for power.
The teachers, from the southern Indian states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, were working with the University of Sirte.
They were kidnapped on their way back to India on Wednesday.
"They were returning to India via Tripoli and Tunis, when they were detained at a checkpoint approximately 50km (31 miles) from Sirte," an Indian foreign ministry spokesperson said.
It is still not clear who kidnapped the teachers, but the spokesperson said the Indians "have been brought back to the city of Sirte".
On Friday afternoon, a tweet by India's foreign minister, Sushma Swaraj, said the government was "able to secure the release" of two of them - named as Lakshmikant and Vijay Kumar.
"Trying for other two," the tweet said.
Most of Sirte fell to IS in May. Last July, a group of 65 Indian nurses were trapped in fighting in Libya.
The nurses, who had been working in hospitals in the country, safely returned to India in August.
In June 2014, 40 Indians - all construction workers - were kidnapped in the violence-hit Iraqi city of Mosul. Their fate is still not known.
The child was in the care of her mother at the time of her death in Grove, Wantage.
The death was reported to Thames Valley Police by staff at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford on 7 August.
Officers are investigating the circumstances around her death. No arrests have been made.
A spokesman for Oxfordshire County Council said the family was known to social services, but the child was in the care of her family.
Condor Ferries say it will be a number of days before a normal service can resume between the islands and Poole in England.
The company says its has made some repairs after a problem was found with the exhaust system on Thursday.
A revised timetable will run between Guernsey and Poole until it is fixed.
Jersey chief minister, Senator Ian Gorst said Condor needed to improve its service.
He said: "The government's view is they need to get the problems sorted out and provide the level of service we expect from them."
Condor have drafted in all available staff to help with customer phone lines and apologised to delayed passengers.
A spokesman said: "All passengers are being rebooked as quickly as possible and refreshments are being provided for all disrupted passengers."
The accident happened at about 10:00 on Sunday at Ringford near Castle Douglas.
A 24-year-old man from Wolverhampton driving the Citroen Picasso involved was taken to Dumfries Infirmary with a knee injury.
A 60-year-old woman and 74-year-old man from Kirkcudbright, travelling in a Fiat Doblo van, were also taken to the hospital with bruising.
The road at the scene was closed for some time to allow the vehicles to be recovered.
Officers in riot gear were called to Menzies Court at about 20:20 on Thursday after police attempted to execute a warrant.
Neighbours reported a man walking around covered in blood earlier in the evening.
A block of flats in the street was sealed off while police officers and an ambulance crew dealt with the incident.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said a man was expected to appear at Perth Sheriff Court on Friday.
Tanser, 22, has agreed a one-year deal with Saints, having previously played for Rochdale and Port Vale.
The Englishman has made more than 60 senior appearances.
"The club are doing what we can for Scott to be granted international clearance in time for tomorrow night's match with FK Trakai," said Saints.
Midfielder Stefan Scougall has also joined the Perth club this summer.

Holyrood passed the High Hedges (Scotland) Act in 2013 in a bid to tackle rows over overgrown shrubbery.
The local government committee is to review how the law has operated in practice and whether it could be strengthened.
Convener Bob Doris said overgrown hedges could be "a serious nuisance".
The legislation was introduced following a members' bill by SNP MSP Mark McDonald, who said overgrown hedges could blight people's lives.
It came into force in 2014, defining a "high hedge" as a row of two or more evergreen or semi-evergreen trees or shrubs which rises to more than two metres above ground level and forms a barrier to light.
The law allows people to apply to their local authority for a "high hedge notice" if their neighbours' hedge "adversely affects the enjoyment" of their home to an unreasonable extent. Councils can step in to settle disputes, and can issue enforcement orders to hedge owners or even carry out work themselves.
Mr Doris said the committee wanted to examine how well the legislation has worked in the three years since it came into force.
He said: "While it can be a rare occurrence, overgrown hedges can be a serious nuisance - especially when they lead to disagreements or 'hedge rage' disputes between neighbours.
"What our committee wants to know is whether the Act is working in practice. We want to hear from those with experience in this area so that we can give a considered view to the wider parliament on whether or not the Act could be improved."
A 36-year-old man was critically injured in the gun attack at a housing estate in Lusk on Tuesday.
Lusk is about 25km north of Dublin city.
Gardaà (Irish police) said they want to trace the movements of a white Volkswagen Golf with a Northern Ireland registration plate XFZ 9316.
The shooting happened at about 9.35 local time at Dun Emer Place.
Gardaà are interested in any sightings of the car in Dun Emer Place or Kilhedge Lane in Lusk in the days prior to the attack.
The victim is still being treated for his injuries at Beaumont Hospital.
The decision makes Germany the biggest industrial power to announce plans to give up nuclear energy.
Environment Minister Norbert Rottgen made the announcement following late-night talks.
Chancellor Angela Merkel set up a panel to review nuclear power following the crisis at Fukushima in Japan.
There have been mass anti-nuclear protests across Germany in the wake of March's Fukushima crisis, triggered by an earthquake and tsunami.
Mr Rottgen said the seven oldest reactors - which were taken offline for a safety review immediately after the Japanese crisis - would never be used again. An eighth plant - the Kruemmel facility in northern Germany, which was already offline and has been plagued by technical problems, would also be shut down for good.
Six others would go offline by 2021 at the latest and the three newest by 2022, he said.

Nearly a quarter of German's electricity comes from nuclear power so the question becomes: How do you make up the short-fall?
The official commission which has studied the issue reckons that electricity use can be cut by 10% in the next decade through more efficient machinery and buildings.
The intention is also to increase the share of wind energy. This, though, would mean re-jigging the electricity distribution system because much of the extra wind power would come from farms on the North Sea to replace atomic power stations in the south.
Protest groups are already vocal in the beautiful, forested centre of the country which, they fear, will become a north-south "energie autobahn" of pylons and high-voltage cables.
Some independent analysts believe that coal power will benefit if the wind plans don't deliver what is needed.
And on either side of Germany are France, with its big nuclear industry, and Poland, which has announced an intention to build two nuclear power stations.
Germany's nuclear power politics
Mr Rottgen said: "It's definite. The latest end for the last three nuclear power plants is 2022. There will be no clause for revision."
Mr Rottgen said a tax on spent fuel rods, expected to raise 2.3bn euros (£1.9bn) a year from this year, would remain despite the shutdown.
Mrs Merkel's centre-right Christian Democrats met their junior partners on Sunday after the ethics panel had delivered its conclusions.
Before the meeting she said: "I think we're on a good path but very, very many questions have to be considered.
"If you want to exit something, you also have to prove how the change will work and how we can enter into a durable and sustainable energy provision."
The previous German government - a coalition of the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens - decided to shut down Germany's nuclear power stations by 2021.
However, last September Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition scrapped those plans - announcing it would extend the life of the country's nuclear reactors by an average of 12 years.
Ministers said they needed to keep nuclear energy as a "bridging technology" to a greener future.
The decision to extend was unpopular in Germany even before the radioactive leaks at the Fukushima plant.
But following Fukushima, Mrs Merkel promptly scrapped her extension plan, and announced a review.
Germany's nuclear industry has argued that an early shutdown would be hugely damaging to the country's industrial base.
Before March's moratorium on the older power plants, Germany relied on nuclear power for 23% of its energy.
The anti-nuclear drive boosted Germany's Green party, which took control of the Christian Democrat stronghold of Baden-Wuerttemberg, in late March.
Shaun Burnie, nuclear adviser for environmental campaign group Greenpeace International, told the BBC World Service that Germany had already invested heavily in renewable energy.
"The various studies from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change show that renewables could deliver, basically, global electricity by 2050," he said.
"Germany is going to be ahead of the game on that and it is going to make a lot of money, so the message to Germany's industrial competitors is that you can base your energy policy not on nuclear, not on coal, but on renewables."
Shares in German nuclear utilities RWE and E.On fell on the news, though it had been widely expected.
But it was good news for manufacturers of renewable energy infrustructure.

Speaking at a summit in Brussels, she said she felt it could be achieved, despite the continuing deadlock over a landmark EU-Canada trade deal .
Mrs May said she had played an active role in discussions and was not "backwards in coming forwards".
It is her first EU summit since she became PM following the Brexit vote.
At a news conference before meeting European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker for a working lunch, Mrs May said Britain would be "a confident, outward-looking country".
She said she aimed to "cement Britain as a close partner of the EU once we have left", with the country able to control its immigration but trade freely with the EU. She said she would seek a "mature co-operative relationship" with the EU.
Analysis by Laura Kuenssberg, BBC political editor
Theresa May is certainly no stranger to getting things done in Brussels.
And she is rarely, if ever, underprepared, arriving into each meeting clutching her folder with carefully colour-coded and prepared sections.
But can anything have really prepared the prime minister for this summit? She came here promising a "smooth Brexit" but it has been a bumpy affair.
There's been anger in some quarters at her insistence that the UK must still be fully included despite the fact we're leaving. And blunt warnings from other leaders that the negotiations will be very hard going.
The prime minister will hardly be surprised, and she is hardly a delicate flower. As she made clear in the last 24 hours she has "not been backwards at coming forwards". And this was never going to be the summit where any details were discussed or any real progress was made.
But it's abundantly clear now that not only will the process of leaving be difficult, but also that Britain's wishes are simply not a priority in the long drab corridors of the EU Council. Read Laura's full blog
"I recognise the scale of the challenge ahead. I am sure there will be difficult moments - it will require some give and take.
"But I firmly believe that if we approach this in a constructive spirit, as I am, then we can deliver a smooth departure and build a powerful new relationship that works both for the UK and for the countries of the EU, looking for opportunities, not problems."
Asked whether the difficulties over Ceta - an EU-Canada trade deal that has stalled because one Belgian region has objected - might affect a UK post-Brexit deal, Mrs May said she was "not looking to adopt a model that another country has" but was seeking a new relationship with the European Union.
"Obviously we have got negotiations ahead... those negotiations will take time, as I say, there will be some difficult moments, it will need some give and take but I'm optimistic that we can achieve a deal that is right for the UK because I actually think the deal that is right for the UK will also be right for the European Union."
But the TUC said the deadlock over Ceta should be a "wake-up call" to ministers.
"Britain will need a trade deal with the EU after Brexit, and it mustn't follow the failed Canadian model," said the union body's general secretary Frances O'Grady.
"We need a new approach to trade that creates good jobs and protects public services and workers' rights. Not one that just prioritises the needs of big business."
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron accused the prime minister of a "haphazard" approach to Brexit in her own cabinet.
"Instead of putting the views of a minority of hardline Tory Brexiteers first, our prime minister should be doing what's right for the British people," he said.
"This means remaining in the single market, maintaining cross-border security and ensuring that Brexit leaves nobody worse off."
Meanwhile the man seen as front-runner to replace French President Francois Hollande, Alain Juppe, has said he would revoke a treaty that allows UK border officials to check passports in Calais - known as Le Touquet - should he be elected president next year.
The former French PM blamed the 2003 agreement for the creation of the "Jungle" encampment and said: "We cannot accept making the selection on French territory of people that Britain does or doesn't want. It's up to Britain to do that job."
He added: "A debate must be opened and a new accord obtained with Britain."
And one of the EU's three main Brexit negotiators, Michel Barnier, has been forced to deny claims that he wanted the talks to be conducted largely in French, saying the "linguistic regime" would be decided at the start of official negotiations.
"Never expressed myself on negotiation language," he tweeted. "Work as often in English as French."
Formal exit negotiations will not begin until Mrs May triggers Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, something she has said will be done by the end of March 2017.
This means Brexit, backed in a UK-wide referendum in June, is likely to take effect by the summer of 2019.
North Devon Council said people were breaking rules by spreading photographs, messages, lights and other items down the length of graves.
The authority, which runs Bear Street cemetery in Barnstaple, said it made it difficult to cut the grass and to reopen graves to bury relatives.
People laying tributes have described the council as "dictators".

Relatives have been given a 90-day deadline to remove the items.
Some people have already made the changes. However, 27 families have not yet cleared the graves.
Peter Hull has been told to remove the flowers from his brother-in-law's grave.
"For my wife it's very upsetting, for me it is more annoying that a council do not want to listen," he said.
"We live in a world of democracy but they're making me feel like they're dictators."
North Devon Council said it had tried to deal "sympathetically and tactfully" with the families.
Mark Drummond, from the authority, said most of the graves were for two burials.
With the tributes, he said it was "almost impossible to be able to get a digger in to actually reopen the grave."
SATS results for all Year 6 students at Wentworth Primary Church of England School were annulled following an investigation by the Standards and Testing Agency (STA).
The chair of governors maintained pupils' education was unaffected.
The STA said "maladministration" of the tests was "completely unacceptable".
In a letter to parents Jane Collier, chair of governors, said: "Allegations were made to the STA that children had been over-aided during the test and the findings from the review of test papers showed amendments to answers had been made which were in line with the allegations.
"This means your child will not receive any results for the examinations taken this term."
Ms Collier stated the school's management and governing body were "very disappointed by this and share your frustrations in this matter".
She reassured parents all pupils would transfer to secondary school "without any prejudice".
"We have been assured by Rotherham Council that the secondary schools this school feeds into do their own assessments for children anyway when they enter year seven in September."
An investigator will be appointed "from outside of the borough" to lead a joint independent review with the council and Diocese of Sheffield.
One parent, who did not wish to be named, said she had "lost faith" in the school's management team.
"I'm absolutely appalled and disgusted," she said.
"Our children have worked really hard all year and have got nothing to show for it."
A STA spokesperson said: "Following an investigation into the administration of the 2016 Key Stage 2 tests at Wentworth Church of England Junior and Infant School, ‎all results have been annulled."
All Year 2 and Year 6 pupils sit national curriculum tests, known as Sats, in a range of subjects.

The study, published in The Lancet Oncology, suggests proton beam therapy is as effective as other treatments.
Researchers looked at 59 patients aged between three and 21 from 2003 to 2009.
In 2014 the parents of Ashya King took him out of hospital in Hampshire to get the treatment abroad.
Their actions led to a police operation to find them.
Ashya, who was five at the time of his treatment, is now cancer free, his family said last year.
All the patients who took part in the study, led by Dr Torunn Yock from the Massachusetts General Hospital in the US, had the most common kind of malignant brain tumour in children, known as medulloblastoma.
After five years, their survival rate was similar to that of patients treated with conventional X-ray radiotherapy, but there were fewer side effects to the heart and lungs, the study found.
Dr Yock told BBC Radio 5 live: "The major finding is that proton therapy is as effective as photon therapy [conventional X-ray radiotherapy] in curing these patients and what is also very exciting is that it is maintaining these high rates of cure but doing so with less late toxicity, which has dramatic quality of life improvements."
The paper said: "Proton radiotherapy resulted in acceptable toxicity and had similar survival outcomes to those noted with conventional radiotherapy, suggesting that the use of the treatment may be an alternative to photon-based treatments."
It uses charged particles instead of X-rays to deliver radiotherapy for cancer patients.
The treatment allows high-energy protons to be targeted directly at a tumour, reducing the dose to surrounding tissues and organs.
In general, it gives fewer side effects compared with high-energy X-ray treatments.
It can be used to treat spinal cord tumours, sarcomas near the spine or brain, prostate cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer and some children's cancers.
Sources: NHS England, Cancer Research UK
Independent expert Prof Gillies McKenna, who is the head of the department of oncology at the University of Oxford, said the research suggested that the "side effects are indeed dramatically reduced" with proton beam therapy.
"There were no side effects seen in the heart and lungs and gastrointestinal tract, which are almost always seen with X-rays, and no secondary cancers were seen at a time when we would have expected to see them in X-ray treated patients," he added.
But Dr Kieran Breen, from Brain Tumour Research, said there was still more research needed into the treatment.
"In the longer term, we need to try and understand what effects it will have on people and there are many other forms of tumour both in the brain and in other parts of the body," he said.
Proton beam therapy is currently only available in the UK to treat eye cancers, but patients with other forms of cancer can apply for NHS funding for the therapy abroad.
The first proton beam facility in the UK is due to be made available in Newport by the end of 2016, as a "result of direct investment by the Welsh government," according to a Welsh Assembly spokesman.
The Department of Health has said that from April 2018 the treatment will be offered to up to 1,500 cancer patients at hospitals in London and Manchester, following investment worth £250m.
Two years ago a dispute about the use of the treatment prompted Brett and Naghemeh King, of Southsea, Hampshire, to remove their son Ashya from a hospital in Southampton against his doctors' advice.
The parents wanted their five-year-old to undergo proton beam therapy in Prague, which had not been recommended by his care team in Southampton.
Their actions sparked an international police manhunt, and the couple were later arrested and held in a prison in Madrid.
They were eventually released and Ashya's therapy took place, with the NHS later agreeing to pay for it.
A spokesman for University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, said that medulloblastoma was not currently on the list of tumours approved for this treatment on the NHS.
"However, we welcome any update to the existing clinical evidence on cancer treatments and will follow any expansion of the current national criteria," a spokesman added.
Inch Cape Offshore Ltd wants to build up to 213 wind turbines off the Angus coast.
The project is a joint venture between energy firms Repsol Nuevas Energias UK and EDPR.
Industry body Scottish Renewables described the move as a "landmark moment" in developing Scotland's offshore energy potential.
If approved, the wind farm would cover an area of about 150 square kilometres (58 square miles) with have an estimated installed capacity of 1,050 megawatts.
Inch Cape spent three years developing the project. The company said it had undertaken a full environmental impact assessment, with the results available for public viewing at locations around East Lothian, Fife and Angus.
Repsol UK managing director Ronnie Bonnar said: "'The submission of the consent application is an important milestone for the Inch Cape project.
"It represents another major step towards development of offshore wind power in the outer Firth of Tay, delivering opportunities for communities in the surrounding area to benefit from the investment which is expected to deliver up to 1,600 Scottish jobs during construction.
"We look forward to working with the relevant stakeholders to ensure a positive outcome for the application."
Scottish Renewables senior policy manager Lindsay Leask said: "This announcement is a landmark moment in Scotland's progress towards unleashing its offshore energy potential, as today's news means that all the of the current offshore wind projects on the east coast of Scotland have now formally submitted planning applications.
"With a quarter of Europe's offshore wind resources, and a world-renowned expertise in the offshore sector already, Scotland has a huge opportunity to benefit from offshore wind development in Scotland and beyond."
Last month, Highland councillors decided to raise no objection to a proposal to construct up to 277 wind turbines off the Caithness coast in the Moray Firth.
The Scottish government, which has the final say in the scheme, had sought Highland Council's views on the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm project.
The prime minister will detail the move at a summit in New York this month.
The extra troops will be deployed to the world's newest country, where thousands have been killed and millions displaced amid fighting between government troops and rebels.
The mission will be "significant" and involve boots on the ground, the BBC's UN correspondent Nick Bryant said.
Britain has long been a large financial contributor to UN peacekeeping missions and is the fifth highest provider of funds.
But its troop commitment has been relatively small - focused mainly on 250 soldiers based in Cyprus who wear the distinctive blue berets of the UN.
The size of the British contingent in South Sudan is not yet known. But it is expected to go beyond offering logistical support and an airlift capability, and will be a much tougher challenge, the BBC's UN correspondent added.
Both sides in the South Sudan conflict signed a peace deal, which it was hoped would bring to an end 20 months of conflict, last month. But fighting has continued.
Conflict between forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and his former deputy Riek Machar has forced more than 2.2 million people from their homes in the state, which broke away from Sudan in 2011.
At least seven ceasefires have been agreed and then broken.
The US administration has been saying for months that one way for European Union nations to address longstanding criticisms from Washington about inadequate defence spending would be to commit to more UN missions.
The Irish government has made clear it is only contingency work.
It said, at this stage, it does not envisage a return of customs officers along the border.
On Wednesday, Taoiseach (PM) Enda Kenny said he was confident the EU would not allow "one of the most divisive borders in the world" to be reimposed.
However, Finance Minister Michael Noonan has confirmed to a parliamentary committee that contingency plans are being drawn up in the light of the Brexit vote.
Mairead McGuinness, vice president of the European Parliament and an MEP for the government Fine Gael party in Ireland, said planning had to take place.
"What the finance minister said very clearly is that, at a technical level, the officials are looking at contingency planning because of the outcome of the referendum in the United Kingdom, but there is no policy decision or drive to implement any of these technical issues," she said.
"The taoiseach, and indeed the finance minister, is very well aware that we have said that there will be no return to a hard border on the island of Ireland because of the political, economic, psychological implications of that.
"To some extent, had the concerns about Northern Ireland, and indeed of the island of Ireland, been taken into account properly in the UK referendum, we might, perhaps, not be in this very difficult and stark situation."
Both the British and Irish governments have made clear that they do not want a return to what they have repeatedly called the "borders of the past".
However, what Brexit actually means for the Irish border will only be decided in the negotiations to come between the UK and European negotiators.
During the Troubles, there were only 20 places to cross between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
But the success of the peace process has led to huge numbers of roads being reopened and there are now 260 crossing points.
Aarush Anand, a pupil at Nottingham High School, wrote the letter on Wednesday as part of an exercise to get students into the festive spirit and improve letter writing.

Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
The year-three pupil signed off with the words: "Please give money to charities. PS Don't give me anything else."
Speaking about his message, Aarush said: "In Syria, basically every day someone gets killed, and just not in Syria, in India and Pakistan too.
"I don't really like war, and I've been reading about the world war and nuclear bomb in Japan and I feel I don't really like it.
"Syria is like a mini version of a world war happening in one place and I thought I should write about Syria.
"Some people starve there. We are lucky that we have food here, and I'm lucky to come to this school and my mum and dad can educate me this much."
Teacher Richard Miller said he was "quite struck" by Aarush's letter.
"When I was teaching the children and talking to them about writing a letter to Father Christmas, we were talking about having an introduction, saying how is it in the North Pole and writing about some of the things they would like and how to conclude a letter," he said.
"When I read Aarush's I felt emotional because it was the last thing I was expecting to read. I was really quite moved."
Speaking to BBC Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, Mr Hammond said the best place for Scotland was within the UK economy outside the European Union.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon called the remarks "deeply disappointing".
At last month's referendum people in Scotland voted by 62% to 38% for Britain to retain membership of the EU.
Ms Sturgeon said: "I have been absolutely clear on this issue - the people of Scotland voted decisively to stay part of the European Union and their wishes must be respected.
"That includes respect from the UK government, which is why Philip Hammond's comments are deeply disappointing - I very much hope the new prime minister will be more open to constructive discussion."
However, Mr Hammond, who replaces George Osborne as chancellor in Theresa May's new Cabinet, said: "I think that the best future for Scotland is inside the United Kingdom economy.
"Let's make this United Kingdom economy work for all of us and let's negotiate with the European Union from outside the European Union a relationship which works for Britain and works for Europe so that we can have as close a relationship in trade and commerce as we possibly can, while being outside the European Union as the British people determined we should be."
Mr Hammond denied his stance meant the vote to Remain within the EU by the majority of people in Scotland was irrelevant.
He said: "It means that however we voted, we are part of the United Kingdom and we have democratic decisions made across the United Kingdom and we will now implement the decision that the people of the United Kingdom collectively have made to leave the European Union."
The chancellor also dismissed the idea that Scotland would have a separate relationship with the European Single Market. He added: "We want to have access to the single market.
"We want British companies to be able to go on selling their goods and services into the single market, as they have done before, and that applies to Scottish businesses as much as it applies to English, Welsh or Northern Irish businesses."
Mr Hammond insisted that the Barnett formula, used to determine the amount of funding that goes to Scotland and other parts of the UK, would stay in place.
"There are no plans to change the Barnett formula," he said. "The Barnett formula works, it's an arrangement that works well, it has worked well for many years. Like many things in our constitutional arrangements it has worked rather well, it's a pragmatic solution and there are no plans to change it."
Ms Sturgeon pledged to do all she could to ensure Scotland remained in the EU despite the UK as a whole voting for Brexit in the referendum.
The new-look UK government is still being formed. It has yet to decide its complete official policy on Scotland.
The new chancellor ruling out changes to the Barnett Formula is important. It shows the UK government has no desire to return to the issue of funding any time soon.
But Mr Hammond's comments on Europe illustrate some of the challenges ahead. He's said he can't see - at least at the moment - Scotland having a separate deal with the EU than the rest of the UK.
That's slightly different from the Scottish Secretary David Mundell, who told me he'd be open to a different deal if possible.
Both will be among figures around the Cabinet table who have influence over such things. David Davis, the minister for Brexit, will be another key player.
Nothing is set in stone yet and I expect the UK government will listen to advice from Scotland, particularly from the Scottish Conservative Party.
But it highlights the challenge Mrs May's government has - getting the UK out of the EU, whilst ensuring a deal that satisfies Scotland's desire to maintain close links.
The first minister has called for Scotland to be involved in Brexit negotiations between the UK and EU.
That is a call that was backed up by Scottish Secretary David Mundell, who told BBC Scotland that he believed Prime Minister May would want Scotland to be "at the heart" of the negotiations.
He said Mrs May planned to have "very early engagement" with Ms Sturgeon, adding: "We want to place Scotland, the Scottish government, right at the heart of those negotiations and I think that Theresa in her first days in office will want to make sure that the processes are set in place to allow that to happen."
Hannah Bardell, the SNP MP for Livingston, invoked the words of Mrs May, who said "Brexit means Brexit", when responding to Mr Hammond's comments.
She told BBC Scotland: "As Nicola has said, Remain means Remain. We want to exhaust and look at every option to keep Scotland within the EU and I think it's really important that Theresa May and David Davis engage as quickly as possible and as positively as possible with Scotland, with the first minister, with the Scottish government and with Scottish MPs."
Labour MP Ian Murray said the opinion of Scots who voted to leave the EU should also be respected.
He said: "The mandate of the Scottish people that they've given to politicians is to stay in the EU but also in the UK and I think that should be the starting point of these negotiations and that's why the Scottish government have to be an integral part of the talks that will go on.
"I think the people who voted to leave the European Union in Scotland have to be a part of this process too and we have to make sure from a public policy perspective that both governments address their concerns and make sure that their voice is heard."

Earlier on Thursday, presidential aide Cemil Ertem said there would be no snap elections following the appointment of a new leader.
He also told Turkish TV that the country and its economy would stabilise further "when a prime minister more closely aligned with President Erdogan takes office".
When the end came, it was swift and brutal. Ahmet Davutoglu bowed out after crossing the man with the real power: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Mr Davutoglu was expected to be a pliant prime minister but disagreed with some of Mr Erdogan's more controversial policies and crucially wavered in his support to change the constitution to boost the president's powers.
His resignation means Mr Erdogan tightens his control of Turkey and is likely to install a more obedient prime minister. It will worry many Western leaders who find the divisive Mr Erdogan difficult to handle.
And it plunges this crucial country into a political crisis amid security threats and rows over the clampdown on human rights and free speech. The message from President Erdogan to Mr Davutoglu's successor is clear: follow my lead or you'll face the same fate.

Mr Davutoglu met Mr Erdogan for nearly two hours on Wednesday but differences were clearly not resolved.
Mr Davutoglu said he would continue as a party legislator and would not try to divide the AKP.
"I feel no reproach, anger or resentment against anyone," he said.
"No-one heard, or will ever hear, a single word from my mouth, from my tongue or my mind against our president."
After he was elected president in 2014, Mr Erdogan hand-picked Mr Davutoglu to succeed him as head of the AK Party (Justice and Development Party).
But the prime minister's unease with Mr Erdogan's plans to move to a presidential system, among other policies, has been evident in recent months.
In a sign of his weakening influence, Mr Davutoglu was stripped last week of the authority to appoint provincial AK Party officials.
The development comes at a time of increasing instability for Turkey, which is tackling an escalating conflict with the rebels of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), attacks by the so-called Islamic State, and an influx of migrants and refugees.
Turkey is also in the midst of implementing a key deal with the European Union, brokered by Mr Davutoglu, to limit the number of refugees flowing across its border in return for accelerated EU accession talks and financial aid.
The future of that agreement, which Mr Davutoglu was seen as having agreed with little input from the president, could be plunged into doubt by his departure.
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.
The leader will be formally elected at the party congress.
Main opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu said Mr Davutoglu had been forced from office through the "will of one person".
"Davutoglu's resignation should not be perceived as an internal party issue, all democracy supporters must resist this palace coup," he said.
The political uncertainty also rattled the financial markets. The Turkish lira suffered its heaviest daily loss on Wednesday, down almost 4% against the US dollar.
It rallied slightly on Thursday but was still well off its previous trading levels.

Mrs Annie Barritt was found ill in her room at Oaklands Country Care Home, at Kirk Hammerton near York, on 4 November 2012 and died later in hospital.
An investigation revealed problems with the home's heating system.
The home's owners, Maria Mallaband Care Group Ltd of Leeds, pleaded guilty to one breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act.

York Crown Court was told Mrs Barritt suffered from dementia and would have required 24-hour care.
When she was admitted to hospital her body temperature was 25.3C rather than the usual 37C.
An investigation by Harrogate Borough Council found that, in addition to the faulty heating system, Mrs Barritt had not been given any hot food or drink on the day of her death.
Staff had also not updated her care plan after she was discharged from hospital a week before her death.
Tony Moule, environmental health officer at the council, said: "No fine can ever compensate the family for the loss of their mother in such shocking circumstances.
"For an elderly vulnerable person to suffer hypothermia, whilst in bed in her room under the care of a national care provider, beggars belief."
Mrs Barritt's sons, David and Anthony, said: "It is hard to believe that an elderly lady with dementia could be treated in such an appalling way in a care home that claimed to specialise in the care of such vulnerable people."
They added they hoped their mother's "sad and unnecessary" death would lead to an improvement of standards at the home.
Maria Mallaband Care Group Ltd said in a statement it wished to offer its "deepest sympathies" to Mrs Barritt's family.
It continued: "They trusted us to look after their loved one and we failed, and for this we are very sorry."
It said a number of improvements had been made since Mrs Barritt's death and the home was currently rated as 'good' by the Care Quality Commission.
In addition to the fine the company was ordered to pay the council's costs of £45,560.
The situation is being blamed on too many people coming to Accident and Emergency departments "unnecessarily".
The hospitals are the Bristol Royal Infirmary, Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, Southmead, Weston General and Yeovil District.
Black escalation status means there is severe pressure on services.
"The evidence from hospital A&E Departments is that many people are still continuing to use A&E unnecessarily," said Dr Peter Goyder, of the Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group.
Additional staff have been called in and extra beds are being opened up wherever possible.
However some planned operations have been cancelled.
Dr Goyder urged people who feel unwell to talk to their pharmacist first, contact their GP or ring 111.
Yeovil District Hospital said it was "really short of bed capacity in the hospital".
Simon Sethi, director of urgent care, said: "We've done a lot to prepare but this winter we've seen really high demand, which has been a challenge."
To cope with winter pressures the hospital leased 18 beds from a local nursing home and is due to open a "ready made" 24-bed ward in February.
"We've got this arrangement with a local care home and that's helping us partly - we'd be in a more challenging position if we didn't have that," said Mr Sethi.
Taunton's Musgrove Hospital and Bath's Royal United hospital are all on a "red alert" - one level below black.
What is a black alert?
•The NHS uses a national internal alert system based on the colours green, amber, red and black to rank how busy a local health and social care system is
•Black alert status occurs when a hospital cannot cope with the number of people coming into the accident and emergency department because too few people are being discharged
•It effectively means the hospital does not have enough bed capacity to cope
Committed campaigners can be found shivering on the odd street corner, but they know Scotland is not fertile territory for them and they have hardly any prominent Scottish politicians backing them up.
Tom Walker won't let that put him off. A doctor, who has never been politically active before, he has been inspired to get out there and campaign against the odds.
He is not a member of any political party, he got through the whole of the Scottish independence referendum without feeling motivated to do any canvassing - but the idea of Brexit has him fired up and out on the streets.
At least he has plenty of different coloured leaflets to hand out.
Brexiteers are so few and far between in Scotland the competing leave campaigns cannot afford to squabble amongst themselves.
So they have teamed up together and Tom can give you literature produced by "Grassroots Out", "Vote Leave" or even "Labour Leave".
Dr Walker claims he meets plenty of voters who do want to get out of the EU.
People whose voice is not being well represented in the debate in Scotland. Polls suggest that around a third of Scots are planning to vote to leave.
There is clearly a strong vein of Euro scepticism running through Scotland. But there are almost no senior politicians or public figures who are campaigning to leave.
Only one Tory MSP, Margaret Mitchell, says she is an outer.
All five party leaders in the Holyrood parliament support the UK's continued membership of the EU and very few of the rank and file have publicly disagreed with them.
Even some of those with the most sceptical pedigrees have decided to vote to remain.
When I popped in to a Conservative Party meeting in Edinburgh convened to debate the "EU - In or Out", it was obvious talking to people over the free wine and rather classy sandwiches (parma ham and mozzarella on ciabatta, very European) that almost half of the audience were hoping to hear strong arguments against EU membership.
But all three men on the panel were advocating a vote to remain.
The organisers hadn't found a speaker prepared to argue the case for leaving.
One of those speakers was Alex Johnstone, a Conservative MSP who has long been known for his highly sceptical views.
He describes the EU as a "failed project". And then says he will vote to remain a part of it.
He admitted to me that many people will be surprised and disappointed by his decision.
But he is typical of most Scottish Tories. And without a vigorous debate among the political class there is little to spark discussion among voters.
People who do want to leave the EU can legitimately complain that their views are simply not being represented by their elected representatives. It is something of a democratic deficit.
There are few well known leavers. Like Jim Sillars, former deputy leader of the SNP.
Once he pioneered a policy of "independence in Europe" but he has changed his mind since then and is now one of the few high profile politicians campaigning to leave.
Others include former Labour MP Tom Harris, who is now heading up the Vote Leave campaign in Scotland, and another former Labour MP, Nigel Griffiths, who is running Labour Leave.
But they are up against Nicola Sturgeon and nearly all of the SNP as well as the leader of the opposition Kezia Dugdale, the Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson, the Lib Dems and the Greens.
One reason why there are so few politicians prepared to defy their party leadership and campaign to get out of the EU could be the imminent elections to the Scottish Parliament on 5 May.
They are consuming far more time and attention than the EU referendum.
And MSPs standing for re-election don't think this a good moment for their party to seem to be split on a big issue like Europe.
Voters too are far more concerned by arguments over new tax rates in Scotland than they are about European regulations. It is hard for the EU debate to break through.
Scots already have plenty of referendum experience. We have had four referendums in Scotland since the 1975 vote on membership of the Common Market.
So far this year's vote on the EU has not sparked anything like the fervour or enthusiasm that accompanied the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence.
Without well known, passionate advocates on both sides of the debate it will remain something of a damp squib.
South African batsman Colin Ingram won the award for the One-Day Cup while captain Jacques Rudolph took the honours for the T20 Blast.
All-rounder David Lloyd, 23, picked up club and St Helen's Balconiers Awards for young player of the year, after becoming a first-team regular.
Glamorgan have also named Robin Saxton as head groundsman for a year.
He was previously assistant to Keith Exton, who has left the club.
Wagg, 32, was third top run-scorer in the Championship with 838, including a career-best 200 against Surrey, and was also second highest wicket-taker with 45, just behind Michael Hogan.
Lloyd had an impressive Championship batting average of 39 despite going in anywhere between three and ten in the order, as well as acting as the fourth seam bowler.
Ingram turned in a remarkable series of innings in the 50-overs game with centuries against Kent, Essex and Middlesex in the space of just five visits to the crease.
"I thoroughly enjoyed that middle period when all went well, I just used that momentum and used the same formula over and over. I just want to keep it simple and come back next year and put in a few more performances for us."
Despite being top scorer in the four-day format, Ingram admits he was frustrated with his championship performances and has had to work on his technique in British conditions.
"Towards the back end of the season, I've started to find a formula that can be more consistent next year. I'm pretty disappointed not to get a thousand runs but lots of positives to work on for next season."
Ingram has already returned to South Africa to prepare for his new season with the Warriors while Rudolph flew back straight after the final match to be with his wife and new-born son.
But he was named T20 player of the season after scoring 461 runs at an average of nearly 42 in the competition, as well as his captaincy duties across all three formats.
"It's been an interesting season for me," said Rudolph.
"We played a very positive brand of cricket especially when we had our backs against the wall, and I will keep driving that message home because we want to push for promotion [in the championship]."
Teenage batsman Aneurin Donald was second eleven player of the year, Kiran Carlson was academy player of the year, and Tom Murphy most promising academy player.
The awards dinner was held in Swansea and hosted by the Balconiers supporters group.
The East Midlands Trains service was travelling from Leicester to York when it hit part of a conveyor wagon at Barrow upon Soar earlier this month.
A man working on the lorry was taken to hospital but the train did not derail and no passengers were hurt.
The Office of Road and Rail said it is also investigating.
The train had been travelling at 102mph (163 km/h) when it hit the boom of a conveyor wagon, which was sticking out over the line at Mountsorrel sidings, at 10:27 on 14 February.
The maximum speed for that section is 110mph (176 km/h), the RAIB said.
The driver applied the emergency brake and no-one on board the train was injured but the driver was described as being "badly shaken" by the incident.
The train was then taken at low speed to Loughborough where passengers were put on different trains to continue their journeys.
Both the RAIB and the Office of Road and Rail have confirmed they are investigating.
Dr Linda Katehi admitted that UC Davis, California, brought in a company "specialising in what is known as search engine optimisation".
But she denied that the institution had sought to "rewrite history".
Dr Katehi has faced calls to resign over the 2011 incident and its fallout.
Earlier this month, the Sacramento Bee newspaper reported that UC Davis hired the PR firm Nevins and Associates on a six-month contract at $15,000 (£10,400) per month.
The university was seeking to deal with the reaction to the incident in 2011 in which students who were protesting on the university's campus, near Sacramento, in California, were pepper-sprayed by a campus police officer.
The paper published a document which it said set out the firm's proposed strategy. The document read: "Nevins and Associates is prepared to create and execute an online branding campaign designed to clean up the negative attention the University of California, Davis, and Chancellor Katehi have received related to the events that transpired in November 2011."
The document also referred to "eradication of references to the pepper spray incident in search results on Google for the university and the Chancellor" via an "aggressive and comprehensive online campaign to eliminate the negative search results".
In a statement published on the university's website this week, Dr Katehi said: "In hindsight, we should have been more careful in reviewing some of the more unrealistic and ridiculous scope-of-work claims in the written proposals of our outside vendors.
"What might be accepted industry hyperbole in the private public relations world falls far beneath the high standards of a public institution of higher learning."
The Los Angeles Times reported last week that the University of California's student association had called on Dr Katehi to resign over the news.
In her statement, Dr Katehi acknowledged that an extra $1.6m (£1.1m) had been pumped into the institution's communications budget recently. She cited examples of the university's good works and said that any organisation in its position would seek to ensure those were highlighted.
Kirsty Williams said that such predictions in 2011 were wrong, and the party went on to win five seats.
"The challenges are the same, and the predictions are the same," she said.
The Lib Dems also backed a call to end parents' rights to remove their children from sex education lessons, at their spring conference in Cardiff.
Speaking to BBC Wales political editor Nick Servini, on the Sunday Politics Wales programme, Ms Williams said: "Obviously these elections are challenging, but they were challenging for us five years ago, when people like your colleagues in the BBC and pollsters said that we would be wiped out.
"We demonstrated, by taking a very strong campaign out onto the streets into communities, and articulating very clearly why Welsh Liberal Democrats needed to be in the assembly, what we would do if we had the opportunity."
Ms Williams said the Lib Dems had then returned a "small but strong group" that had "punched above its weight and has used its influence to do good things".
"My more nurses bill, for instance, the first part of Europe that will have a law that will say that we'll have safe staff levels on all our hospital wards."
On the final day of the conference, a motion to end parents' rights to remove their children from sex education lessons was backed by party members.
Cardiff West candidate Cadan ap Tomos, who proposed the motion, said the status quo was "woefully inadequate".
He said he had spent much of his teenage years "struggling...mainly because at no point during my education was the message hammered home that being anything other than straight was perfectly normal".
Every child in Wales needed access to sex education, he said, in order to tackle issues including domestic violence, sexual health and teenage pregnancy.
Some activists argued that the move would conflict with the right to religious freedom, but the motion was approved by the party's conference and could now feature in the party's assembly election manifesto.
Earlier, plans to build 20,000 new affordable homes, if the party wins power in May, were outlined.
Double ministers' current target, it would increase social housing spending from £35m a year to £70m.
Money saved from scrapping the Labour Welsh government's planned M4 relief road around Newport would be used to fund the scheme, the party said.
Party housing spokesman Peter Black said: "Wales needs a government that will invest in a house building programme so everyone can have a roof over their heads.
"Social housing will be a priority for the Welsh Liberal Democrats.
"We will ensure that there is quality, affordable housing for those who need it."
Labour had an "almost sneering" attitude to home ownership and aspiration, he said, repeating a party pledge to introduce a "rent to buy" scheme to help people get on the housing ladder.
On Saturday, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron called delays to a £1bn tidal energy project in Swansea "shameful" and urged the party to challenge Labour's "arrogant sense of entitlement to rule" in May.
The singer's lawyers have sent a cease-and-desist letter, saying the use of the song "gives a false impression" he endorses Mr Trump's presidential bid.
The politician has been playing the power ballad all summer, even air-drumming to it at a rally in Las Vegas.
Tyler, who is a registered Republican, says it is not a "personal" issue but one of permission and copyright.
BBC Entertainment Live: News updates
It is the third time a musician has confronted Trump about using their songs to promote his presidential bid.
When the businessman announced his candidacy, his campaign played Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World - an angry response to presidency of George Bush Senior.
Young, a well-known liberal, demanded that Trump stop using the song and declared his support for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders instead.
Trump's campaign responded that "despite Neil's differing political views, Mr Trump likes Neil very much."
He then used REM's It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine), prompting singer Michael Stipe to issue a strongly-worded statement, saying: "Do not use our music or my voice for your moronic charade of a campaign."
Conversely, Tyler is not politically opposed to the billionaire, who is the current frontrunner in the Republican race for the White House.
The singer even attended the second GOP (Grand Old Party) debate in August as Trump's guest, according to the Washington Post, but his representatives issued a legal letter to Trump's campaign over the weekend.
"Trump for President does not have our client's permission to use Dream On or any of our client's other music in connection with the campaign because it gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr Trump's presidential bid," the cease-and-desist letter read.
"If Trump for President does not comply with our demands, our client will be forced to pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies which our client may have against you."
Trump was initially asked to stop using Dream On, which features the refrain "dream until your dream comes true" after a rally in Alabama two months ago, but he has continued to use it on the campaign trail, reports Rolling Stone.
Representatives for his campaign did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Politicians using songs by musicians who do not support them has been a thorny issue for decades, since Bruce Springsteen castigated President Reagan for planning to use Born in the USA as a backdrop for his 1984 re-election campaign.
Technically, US copyright laws give politicians carte blanche to use recorded music at their rallies - as long as the venue has a public performance licence issued through a songwriters' association such as ASCAP or BMI (in the US) or PRS (in the UK).
However, there is some leeway for an artist to complain their image and reputation is being damaged by the repeated use of a song without their express permission.
The midfielder, 30, has two years to run on his Carrow Road contract, having joined the Canaries in 2015.
He scored six goals in 24 appearances for the English Championship club last season.
Dorrans, who won the last of his 12 caps for Scotland in 2015, began his career at Livingston before moving to West Brom in 2008.
Rangers, who finished third in the Premiership, have been busy reshaping their squad.
Manager Pedro Caixinha has already made five new signings, with HJK Helsinki striker Alfredo Morelos in Glasgow on Monday for talks.
Mexican midfielder Carlos Pena and his compatriot, striker Eduardo Herrera, are awaiting the outcome of a work permit hearing by the Scottish Football Association and are also expected to join the club.
The French rider recovered from a crash 30km from the finish to beat Britain's Ben Swift in a sprint to the line.
But two rival riders claim the 24-year-old was towed back up to the leading group as they climbed the Cipressa.
"There are judges in cycling. If I had done something forbidden, I would have been disqualified," Demare told French newspaper L'Equipe.
"I have done nothing wrong."
Astana's Eros Capecchi and Tinkoff's Matteo Tosatto said the FDJ rider took a tow, travelling "twice our speed".
But Demare said he only "profited from the draft of the car", with his team also denying the allegations.
"It's part of cycling and always has been," he added. "They block the wind. It is not forbidden."
Race judge Herve Borcque decided, in the absence of video of photographic evidence, not to take any action against Demare.
Last year, Italy's Vincenzo Nibali was disqualified from the Vuelta a Espana after he was pictured being towed by a support car when trying to regain ground after a crash.
He says the lack of licensed agents has turned the Pacific Islands into the "Wild West" and claims players are being lured overseas on false promises.
He now wants significant changes to protect the smaller nations.
"Anyone can do anything, so it's the Wild West in that respect," the former Fiji sevens coach told BBC Scotland.
The Englishman also warned that:
In August, BBC Scotland detailed the anxieties of Shaun Longstaff, a former Scotland international and agent who scouts the Pacific Islands on behalf of some of Europe's elite clubs.
He claims he was told to find them "a freak". Not a playmaker, nor a goalkicker, they want the next hulking phenomenon and they want him cheap.
With players of athleticism, an intangible, un-coachable flair and a humble obsession with the game, the islands are a goldmine of box-office talent.
But without a professional league and given the Fijian national minimum wage - only introduced in 2014 - is just 87p per hour, players move abroad to earn for their families and fight for a Test jersey.
There are currently:
Gaining a foothold in a top league overseas can mean players switching international allegiances.
"Unless you've got a full Test cap, you can't come into the Aviva Premiership," explains Ryan.
"It's a lot harder to come into the UK, so the French are poaching everyone."
He says the closest professional league to Fiji is the ITM Cup in New Zealand, but claims players from the Pacific Islands can only go there if they are qualified to represent the All Blacks.
"They get a Super Rugby contract dangled in front of them and they don't then come back across to play for Fiji," says Ryan. "Australia's the same."
A distinction should be made between islanders "poached" from overseas and those whose families emigrated while they were infants.
Many are products of diverse bloodlines and thus eligible for several nations, but more and more Fijians are choosing to play for their adopted homelands.
After serving a three-year residency period, Taqele Naiyaravoro and Henry Speight both played for Australia. Tevita Kuridrani also plays for the Wallabies after moving to Australia as a 16-year-old.
Elsewhere:
"In 10 years' time, if things don't change, I see an Australian side with half their team coming from the islands, at least," says Ryan.
"I've heard of at least another dozen coming through the Australia ranks.
"There will be four or five others in France without doubt, because I know there are young kids there who are phenomenally talented and a year off getting residency, so it's inevitable unless we make something happen quickly."
In May, World Rugby's vice-president, Argentinian former scrum-half Agustin Pichot, spoke of his distaste for the present eligibility criteria.
But Ryan fears extending the residential period to five years, as has been mooted, would only drive scouts and clubs to recruit ever-younger players.
"I went to Toulon in pre-season and they knew about 15-year-olds that were playing in Fiji school competitions," he says.
"They'll go to the villages, they'll give some money or incentives to their family to get them to go overseas. Then they'll take them to their French, Australian or New Zealand clubs or schools or academies.
"Some guys will make it, some guys won't. It's an educated gamble that more often than not pays off."
There is no regulation of agents and no compulsory registration. Ryan worries honest souls, like Longstaff, are outnumbered by those eager to plunder.
"There are dodgy agents and people on the islands cutting deals and taking backhanders," says Ryan, claiming players are often contacted via Facebook.
"There are some terrible agents, mainly the ones that have been kicked out of Australia and New Zealand.
"They end up trying to get islanders across, saying how they helped them. It's the opposite. I've had players left high and dry.
"Where there is un-regulation, you're going to get cowboys out there that don't care and are just looking to make a quick buck."
Ryan, who quit as Fiji sevens head coach after the Rio Games, also wants more tangible assistance from those who hold the power in international rugby.
England's last Test in Fiji was in 1991 and they have never played in Samoa or Tonga. Neither have South Africa nor Australia, who haven't been to Fiji since 1984.
New Zealand have played recent internationals in the USA and Samoa, while two of their franchises, the Chiefs and Crusaders, played a Super Rugby fixture in the Fijian capital, Suva, in July.
However, the All Blacks themselves have never set foot in Fiji.
Meanwhile, Wales haven't toured the Pacific since 1994, France since 1998 and Ireland 2003. Of the Tier One nations, only Italy and Scotland have played Tests on the islands in the past five years.
Ryan says Fiji's recent success at the Olympic Games in Rio represents a good opportunity to take positive action.
"For the greater good of the game, you need a bigger top table," he says.
"You need these teams trying to fight it out for quarter-final places at the World Cup - and that's not happening."
Aside from losing players to richer nations, having so many internationals abroad makes preparing for Test matches extremely difficult.
Of last year's 31-man Fiji World Cup squad, 28 played club rugby overseas.
There are, stresses Ryan, diligent and savvy World Rugby operators on the islands striving to provide better governance and sharper infrastructure, but with limited success.
Ryan says a World Rugby-backed Pacific draft would help protect both players and countries.
He also advocates a percentage of a player's wages going back to their home union to "drive high performance" on the islands.
"If we have domestically contracted players that are earning good money and if all the boys were earning the same money they earn overseas, none of them would leave," he says.
Ryan says having a Fijian national team in Super Rugby competition would be "a game-changer", too.
He also suggests franchising the Fijian, Samoan and Tongan national teams would boost their earning potential by attracting all sorts of sponsorship.
Until then, he says, the Pacific Island teams - especially the 15-a-side teams - are going to suffer because they get very little contact with their players, "90% of whom are based overseas".
The Rams started well and took the lead when Chris Martin poked home Cyrus Christie's precise cross.
Tom Ince's neat finish doubled the lead shortly before half-time following good play from Jeff Hendrick.
Brentford's best chance fell to Philipp Hofmann, whose shot was cleared off the line by Christie as Derby claimed their fourth win in five games.
They move up to seventh in the Championship, while Brentford, who have lost both matches since Lee Carsley took over and four of their past five, drop to 20th.
After a scrappy first 20 minutes, Derby took the lead when Christie's brilliant first-time cross found the in-form Martin, who tapped in for his fifth league goal of the season.
The Rams went close to doubling their lead through Ince's curling effort, before Bradley Johnson's shot was brilliantly saved by Brentford goalkeeper David Button.
Ince finished off an excellent team move following good link-up play by George Thorne and Hendrick.
After the break, Johnson's header from Ince's corner was superbly saved by Button.
Brentford, who offered little throughout, almost reduced the deficit late on when Christie got back well to clear Hofmann's shot off the line.
Derby head coach Paul Clement told BBC Radio Derby:

"We all felt that pressure of needing to win at home and it's pleasing that it has come on the back of some really good results away from home.
"It was maybe the best we've played this season in the first half because I thought it showed all the qualities we have, that we can defend, pressurise, get the tactics right, create and take opportunities.
"It was not so good at the end, a team in slightly better form could have hurt us, but we'll take the positives out of it.
"I'm much more encouraged, we've shown we can beat some good teams, win while not playing well and win while playing well. We're not there though, we've got to keep improving.
[Darren Bent's omission) "It was unfortunate, it can happen, he arrived late and I needed to name the team. Anyone can get stuck in traffic but I couldn't be totally sure what time he would arrive."
Brentford boss Lee Carsley:

"We did okay in the first half but didn't really carry much threat. There's a lack of confidence and that's the hardest thing in football.
"We have players here who are new to the English game and we need to give them a bit of time.
"I would rather lose 2-0 trying to get something out of the game, so if Alan Judge's shot goes in off the bar then it's a different story.
"I was disappointed that we went a little ragged after they scored but we have some good players here and they will go on to have a great season."
The officer Sen Con Scott Mason, from Cue in Western Australia, first rescued Cuejo the joey in March after his mother was hit and killed by a truck.
Cuejo had a second brush with death on 27 April when a wedge-tailed eagle grabbed him in the Burringurrah police station yard.
Sen Con Mason said the eagle lifted Cuejo over a 2m-high fence.
He told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that he chased after the eagle, which landed a short distance away.
A second eagle joined the attack, but Sen Con Mason frightened the birds while Cuejo bolted away.
"I finally caught up with him a few hundred metres down the way and found out that he was bleeding quite heavily," he said.
Cuejo suffered wounds to his chest and face, and lost hair from his back.
The little kangaroo is the star of the Cue Police Twitter account and sometimes hops around after Sen Con Mason on duties.
The 40-year-old sealed her spot at Sunday's final qualifying event at the Rio Olympic venue.
Chusovitina has previously competed internationally for the Soviet Union, Unified Team, Uzbekistan and Germany before switching back to Uzbekistan.
She has won two Olympic and 11 World Championship medals during her career.
She helped the Unified Team win team gold at her first Olympics at Barcelona 1992 and won vault silver for Germany at Beijing 2008.
Rose, who did not attend the induction ceremony on Saturday, declined the honour earlier this week, saying he felt neither "wanted or respected".
An on-stage reference to Rose drew boos at the event, attended by other members of the rock band's line-up.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys and Donovan were among others honoured.

With no single party getting a majority, there are two big possibilities.
And there will also need to be a new presiding officer after the previous one left the assembly.
So, what might happen?
With 29 seats, Labour are playing down the idea of a formal coalition.
But, even if there were to be some sort of deal, it is inconceivable Labour could share power with the Tories or the newly-elected UKIP contingent.
Senior Tories not long ago were pinning hopes on a leadership change in Plaid Cymru to allow for a coalition of the smaller parties - but with just one Lib Dem AM, a block of seven UKIP members and Labour having 29 seats it appears highly unlikely.
Both Labour and Plaid said they were fighting to win the election and govern alone, but Plaid and Labour have worked together before and before the election there was some speculation that a repeat coalition could happen.
Labour's manifesto omits references to how many councils the party would like to see in Wales following mergers, and which type of M4 relief road route Carwyn Jones would like to build.
It is that kind of wriggle room that could help make a deal possible.
One slight problem, in addition to Labour having nearly half the seats in the assembly chamber, is that Plaid and Labour have given the public impression of not getting on.
The worst outbreak of ill-feeling between Labour and Plaid came on the last full day of plenary business in 2016, when public services minister Leighton Andrews dubbed a deal between the two over local government reform a "cheap date".
It was a joke, but the suggestion Plaid's support was easily won was a disaster for the government.
Some of Plaid's AMs had planned to vote with the government after coming to a deal on an e-cigarette ban in some public places, but Mr Andrews' quip galvanised the whole group to join the rest of the opposition and block the Public Health Bill.
Since then, Labour has used up a great deal of energy attacking Plaid's policies, and Plaid made an entire campaign platform posing as an alternative to the incumbents.
That is not the only factor in the way of a coalition deal - the idea just does not seem to fit into Plaid's long-term plan.
Political commentator Daran Hill said: "It's a profound issue for Plaid. The way they were behaving in conference, the way that their big thinkers were talking, it doesn't seem that they want to be in a junior-coalition scenario with Labour any time soon.
"They have been there and they are hoping for something different."
Mr Hill said the only quick coalition option was likely to be between Labour and the Liberal Democrats "if they have enough votes between them".
However, he said even that option would need to be signed off by the individual parties.
He noted that Mr Jones did not attack the Liberal Democrats in his speech in Wrexham last Monday. "He attacked all the other parties," he said.
The last Labour administration was a minority government, with 30 seats. The party now has 29, and minority rule seems likely to be the order of the day again.
The emergence of a clearer left-right split in the assembly - with UKIP's presence - could encourage parties nearer the left to at least support each other short of a coalition.
There have been calls already for a progressive alliance of sorts, with Labour-supporting academics having urged Labour voters to vote Plaid on the regional ballot paper.
Before the election, Daran Hill speculated that a minority-government scenario similar to what happened in 2007 might occur again. Back then, Labour started the term as a minority administration and formed a coalition with Plaid later. However in 2007 it had 26 seats, rather than the 29 it secured on Thursday.
It is expected the assembly will reconvene next week, probably Wednesday, at which point AMs will have to select who they want to be their next presiding officer.
Dame Rosemary Butler, the former AM for Newport West, served as presiding officer in the last assembly term but has stood down.
Daran Hill said: "I have never known a situation where presiding officer and deputy presiding officers weren't in some way influenced by a deal for forming a government.
"It's entirely a question of numbers."
He said that with 29 seats, Labour's view on who should be the presiding officer could be different from what it might have been if it won 26.
The commentator said that, under assembly rules, the two positions of deputy presiding officer and presiding officer need to be split between an opposition party and the governing party.
He suggested that, with 29 seats, Labour could ask other parties to suspend those rules so the assembly could have two presiding officers from opposing parties, giving the party a majority.
"You need politicians that can reach out to other parties," Mr Hill said.
He said several names were being suggested as future presiding officers.
Conservative AM David Melding would be a credible candidate, Mr Hill said, adding that fellow Tories Suzy Davies and Paul Davies were also the kind of figures who could take the role.
He said he had heard Labour candidates Jane Hutt and Joyce Watson mentioned as possible presiding officers, while some had talked of Kirsty Williams doing the job after being elected as a lone Lib Dem.
Meanwhile, Mr Hill suggested Plaid's Elin Jones might also be suitable.
Officers said the animal's head, face and ears had been cut in the attack using an "unknown sharp instrument".
Its remains were found on a farm in Netherby, near Longtown, and officers believe the attack happened sometime between Thursday and Friday.

Grace, who first turned professional in 2008, secured the biggest win of his career by beating Peter Ebdon 6-2 in the fourth round at the York Barbican.
The 30-year-old cleans the snooker tables at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds and, before his run in York, has only earned £13,416 in 18 months.
"The money's welcome. You could say that. It's been mad," Grace told BBC Sport.
"I've been around a long time and have done nothing in the game so I was due a run in something."
Grace, whose appearance in the quarter-finals is his best performance in a ranking event, earned a two-year card to stay on the snooker tour last summer.
But he was struggling to make ends meet before a run to the last 16 at the Shanghai Masters earned a much-needed £8,000.
In his first five years as a pro, Grace earned £32,703.

This season he has earned £28,500 and will get another £10,000 if he beats either Martin Gould or Joe Swail in the last eight.
The money earned will help pay for his upcoming wedding to Gemma and planned house move.
But Grace's primary concern was his form on the table, and he was pleased with how he played against Ebdon.
Grace took full advantage of a couple of fluked reds in the first and third flame to score 50-plus breaks and take a 2-1 lead.
He came through a painstaking fourth frame in which Ebdon played on despite needing five snookers and then scored his third half-century of the match on his way to building a 5-1 lead.
But world number 34 Ebdon, the 2006 UK Championship winner and a former world champion, hit back but Grace closed out the victory.
"Peter is as tough as they come," Grace added.
"I was a bit lucky in the first couple of frames when I had the flukes and made breaks off them.
"When you are having a good week that kind of thing happens but you have to take advantage of it."
"A week ago yesterday I was playing in the first round but now I am in the quarters and I have earned 20k. You can change things quickly in the big tournaments."
Grace, a keen artist who draws pictures of his fellow players, sketched a picture of Ebdon in the build up to the match and joked: "I was under more pressure drawing him than I was playing him.
"It took me about an hour and normally I take a lot longer."
But Grace's day job is not as an artist, it's cleaning the snooker tables back in Leeds - and he still plans to return to work next week.
"It was murder trying to get someone to cover for me this morning. But I'll be back to that on Monday," he quipped.
An unidentified programmer has produced a tool that exploits shortfalls in the way the malware encrypts a file that allows Windows to start up.
In notes put on code-sharing site Github, he said he had produced the key generator to help his father-in-law unlock his Petya-encrypted computer.
The malware, which started circulating in large numbers in March, demands a ransom of 0.9 bitcoins (£265).
It hid itself in documents attached to emails purporting to come from people looking for work.
Security researcher Lawrence Abrams, from the Bleeping Computer news site, said the key generator could unlock a Petya-encrypted computer in seven seconds.
But the key generator requires victims to extract some information from specific memory locations on the infected drive.
And Mr Abrams said: "Unfortunately, for many victims extracting this data is not an easy task."
This would probably involve removing the drive and then connecting it up to another virus-free computer running Windows, he said.
Another tool can then extract the data, which can be used on the website set up to help people unlock their computer.
Independent security analyst Graham Cluley said there had been other occasions when ransomware makers had "bungled" their encryption system.

Amir Tasaddiq Hussain, 29, made a hoax 999 call in which he claimed an officer with the West Midlands force would be abducted by a radical Muslim with links to the so-called Islamic State.
As a result, all officers had to call in to report they had got home safely and an innocent man was arrested.
The false call was made because of a personal grudge held by Hussain.
His aim was to discredit an official within Dawat-E-Islami, a peaceful Muslim prayer group.
At Stafford Crown Court, Judge Michael Chambers QC criticised the officer of seven years, from Yardley, Birmingham, for showing no remorse and pleading not guilty in the face of overwhelming evidence.
'We were told not to wear our uniforms'

He is currently suspended from the force and will face disciplinary proceedings.
Two other Birmingham men, unemployed Adil Bashir, 26, and 31-year-old tutor Muhammed Ali Sheikh, were convicted of the same charges of perverting the course of justice and were each sentenced to three years in prison.
Judge Chambers told Hussain he was the last person who ought to be serving with the police and said that he had been the instigator of the offences - with the other two men playing lesser roles.
"The three of you plotted to falsely incriminate an innocent man with being involved in serious criminal offences," he said.
The innocent man named in the hoax was questioned over two days on suspicion of involvement in terrorism, causing him immense personal anxiety, the judge said.
The men's trial had heard how, in an unprecedented move, all on the West Midlands force had to call in to report getting home safely due to the threat, which was made on 8 December 2014.
A hostage negotiator was put on standby and armed police went to the home of an officer who did not answer an emergency roll-call.
West Midlands Police said the hoax call "sparked an unprecedented police response and subsequent investigation which led to a suspect being arrested within 24 hours by counter-terrorism detectives.
"The call came at a time when the national terrorism threat level was severe."
The Police Federation said the effect of the call was "widespread and long lasting" and affected all employees and their families.
Hussain had tried to access police logs created following a call made in September and the kidnap call in December. Expert voice analysis of those calls to police revealed they were made by Bashir and Hussain respectively.
In September, police were given information that a forced marriage was taking place at an address in Moseley, Birmingham. Officers went to the address but decided the alert had been a hoax.

Former Lord Mayor of Liverpool Steve Rotherham MP told fans at an Anfield memorial service that the families have asked him to table an Early Day Motion.
The motion would request the Queen to knight the Liverpool manager.
Dalglish was manager at the time of the disaster when 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death at an FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989.
Dalglish helped ensure the club was represented at all of the fans' funerals and attended many of them in person.
The former Scotland player became Liverpool boss for the second time in January and this year's memorial service was the first he had attended the memorial service as Liverpool boss since 1990.
Mr Rotherham said the motion was "so that on all our behalf the King of the Kop can become Sir Kenny".
The announcement was met with cheers and a standing ovation from the Liverpool faithful and chants of "Kenny".
Ten thousand people attended a memorial service at Anfield to mark the Hillsborough disaster.
Ninety-five Liverpool fans were crushed to death during the team's tie with Nottingham Forest at the stadium in Sheffield.
The disaster's 96th victim was fan Tony Bland, who died in hospital on 3 March 1993, after the Law Lords ruled that artificial food and hydration could be stopped by medical staff at the Airedale Hospital, Yorkshire.
A minute's silence was held at 1506 BST, the exact time the game was abandoned 22 years ago.
Before the service Dalglish said: "It's a sad day and it's a day etched in the minds of everyone connected with the club."
Mr Rotherham said the families of the 96 were a step closer to justice since the establishment of an independent panel in 2009 to examine previously unseen documents relating to Hillsborough.
He added: "To those that attack Liverpool supporters - I will never tire of reminding them that the fans were the real heroes in 1989, not the villains."
The crowd later chanted the name of former manager Rafael Benitez when Margaret Aspinall, chairman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group which organised the event, thanked him for his continued support.
Earlier writer Jimmy McGovern earned a standing ovation from the packed Kop when he delivered a reading called "To the Families" which ended: "For 22 years you have watched judges putting the niceties of law above justice itself, and still you have battled on."
Mrs Aspinall, whose 18-year-old son was attending his first away match when he was caught in the crush, said she was "annoyed" by talk of bringing back terraces.
"We will never ever want standing ever again," she added.
Current Liverpool squad members attended the service along with former players such as Ian Rush.
Transport Secretary Justine Greening is due on Monday to outline plans to complete the electrification of the route between Sheffield and London.
At present the line is electrified only between St Pancras station and Bedford.
The new decision over the Midland Main Line, if confirmed, would mean extending overhead wires to Sheffield via the east Midlands.
However, it is not yet known if track improvements will also be announced, especially at Derby and Leicester stations.
Meanwhile, the Department of Transport has refused to confirm or deny reports that the Midland Main Line announcement forms part of a far wider rail network investment programme to be announced next week.
The Guardian reports that further plans include electrification of the Great Western Line
from London to Swansea via Cardiff; a "northern hub" of new projects around Manchester; and an upgrade of parts of the East Coast Main Line from London to the north of England.
The Midland Main Line decision comes after business groups and politicians in South Yorkshire and the East Midlands campaigned for the line to be upgraded.
BBC Radio Derby political reporter Chris Doidge said the Varsity line linking Oxford and Cambridge could also be reopened; most of it was closed to passengers following the Beeching Report in the 1960s.
The Derby-based train-maker Bombardier, which was threatened with closure after missing out on a contract last year, is likely to be a beneficiary of the government's plans, he said.
Ministers say electric trains are lighter and more energy efficient, cutting the running cost and environmental impact of train services, and have faster acceleration.
Rail expert Christian Wolmar said the expected announcement was "terribly good news".
"This implies that there might be trains that are transformed from diesel trains into electric trains," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"That work will be done either at Derby or Preston so there will be jobs for British workers."
He said it was not clear if the scheme would be paid for "by heavily above-inflation fares rises" or "more money from the taxpayer".
"Fares have become a big political issue - they're supposing to be going up by 3% above the rate of inflation, which will be something like 6 or 7% in all, in January," he added.
"But I somewhat suspect this is a political hot potato so they might try and say: 'This investment is all happening, it's great news but I'm afraid that fare payers have to pay for it.'
"But there will be a lot of political flak over that."
A spokesman for the Derby and Derbyshire Rail Forum said: "If the Midland Main Line is upgraded, the supply chain waits ready to meet the needs of the industry.
"We hope it is not just electrification - there are great benefits to be found in upgrading the current infrastructure."
In June, Conservative MP for Kettering Philip Hollobone told MPs that while £12bn had been spent in recent years on Britain's rail network, just £200m had gone to the Midland Main Line.
The figure is double what is currently being provided.
Undertaking such a programme would cost £700m a year, experts commissioned to look into the issue found.
Housing charity Shelter has urged all political parties to pledge to meet the 12,000 homes target in their Holyrood election manifestos.
The Scottish government currently has a target of building 6,000 affordable homes per year.
A report - Affordable Housing Need in Scotland - was carried out by a team from the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research at Sheffield Hallam, Sheffield University and the University of St Andrews.
It was commissioned by Shelter Scotland, the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Scotland and the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA).
The independent report - which claims to be the first in-depth investigation into Scotland's total housing need for 10 years - calls for the biggest house building programme since the 1970s.
The Scottish government is to consider the report but said it is "already delivering a huge boost to affordable housing provision", with 30,000 properties to be completed by the end of the life of the current parliament in 2016.
Graeme Brown, director of Shelter Scotland, said: "The 12,000-a-year target for new affordable homes is the minimum level required to tackle Scotland's housing crisis.
"We are calling on all political parties in Scotland to acknowledge there is a crisis by making the building of new affordable homes a priority in their manifestos for the forthcoming Holyrood elections and use the 12,000 target as a benchmark for their ambitions.
"Politics is about making choices and we have simply got to do more to reduce homelessness in Scotland."
SFHA chief executive Mary Taylor said: "The research provides evidence of the scale of need. Scottish ministers are already considering recommendations from the subsidy review group earlier this summer which showed a need for increased subsidy."
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "We are working closely with all sectors to promote the construction of new homes, support jobs in the construction industry and inclusive growth in the wider economy."
Dolly Evans worked for the Gibb family at The Grove, Ramsey during the 1930s.
A museum spokesman said information was needed for the History in Heels project which aims to shine a light on some of the island's "remarkable women".
Nicola Tooms, Curator at Manx National Heritage, said she hopes the community can help fill in the gaps.
She added: "As is often the case with the lives of working-class women, her story is less well documented, but we are eager to learn more about her.
"As part of our 'History in Heels' project we wanted to highlight the story of The Grove, a matriarchal household if ever there was one, with Grannie, Auntie, and the two girls, Janet and Alice Gibb.
"We know a fair amount about the lives of the Misses Gibb through the archives we acquired from them but not much is known about another female member of the 'below stairs' household, their maid Dolly".
The Gibbs, a wealthy merchant family from Liverpool, built The Grove as a summer retreat in about 1840.
It is now a museum run by Manx National Heritage.
The History in Heels project aims to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the formation of the Isle of Man Women's Institute.
Historians have been working on the project to mark the arson of 1615, for which four people were hanged.
Now a booklet detailing the fire has been published by a local team and reveals the havoc the blaze created.
This Saturday the anniversary, with a modern twist of a fire engine, will be commemorated in the market square.
The fire was started by travellers, John Flodder, his "pretended" wife, Ellen Pendleton, and his brother William. The trio also roped in a local accomplice, called Margaret Bix.
Historian Georgette Vale said the fire spread quickly through wooden and thatched buildings. As it was a Sunday, everyone was at church, and the town would have been deserted.
She said: "A lot of damage was caused, and of course it was high winds that day, and much of Market Street as we know it and Bridewell disappeared, quite possibly it was set on fire in two places.
"Vicar Street was also burned. The vicar had nothing but the bible in his hand and the clothes on his back."
More than 300 people lost property or belongings that day.
Ms Vale said: "They (the pepretators) didn't run away afterwards, they seemed to hang around to watch it...they weren't going to miss the fun by running away, and then they were caught."
The booklet was started by the late John Wilson, then chairman of the Wymondham Heritage Society. It was taken over after his death by Wymondham historian Adrian Hoare.
A book on the fire was published by Wymondham Heritage Society. Copies are available at the Market Square exhibition on Saturday and at the Heritage Museum shop in Wymondham.
Scientists at Huddersfield University said about 75% of rats in Bristol, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire had built up a resistance.
The most serious mutations have affected rats in Bath and Wiltshire.
Experts have blamed the rise on the incorrect use of poisons where dosages which are too low have been used.
Rats which are resistant to the poison are fattened up by the bait. Those that survive then mate with other resistant rats, allowing a generation of rats resistant to existing poisons to build up.
Mutations have previously been found in many parts of the UK but the Huddersfield University study is the first time the extent of resistance has been measured in the West.
Dr Dougie Clarke, head of biological sciences at Huddersfield University, said: "Some pest control companies are still using the same rodenticides - Bromadiolone and Difenacoum - in areas where there are resistant rats and things need to change.
"We're wiping out the normal susceptible rats and we're going to be left with resistant rats only in this area so alternatives have to be found so we're not using these poisons."
Fears are also growing over the risk to wildlife and cats which may hunt the rats.
Rat catcher Andy Beddows, from Gloucester, said: "If you're putting poison down and it's one of the mutant strain, if it takes a belly full of rodenticide you may as well be giving it Sugar Puffs."
He said the poison, which stays inside the rat, could then be passed on to other animals, such as birds of prey and cats, which eat rats.
The study aims to survey 25 councils across the country and test samples from 600 rats. So far, about 300 samples have been tested.
Although the research is not complete, the scientists said within 10 years all rats in the Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Bristol areas could be resistant to poisons.

Nigel Frith, the principal of Janet's school, Drumragh Integerated College, said he was delighted at her success to date.
He said Janet was "living the dream" at present, but that the option was there to return to the school and study for her A-Levels even if she wins.
"We have encouraged her to keep an eye on her A Level studies as showbiz is a fickle business and it is good to have a back-up plan," he said.
"If she is to go all the way and win the competition she is welcome to return to us next September."
Mr Frith said Janet's fellow pupils had taken her new-found fame "in their stride" as she progressed through the competition.
"She has not been treated as a pop star," he added.
"When she returned to school for a brief period at the start of the term, she would sit in the canteen with her friends.
"She was not mobbed by autograph hunters.
"When her GCSE results came out there were a lot of reporters in the car park, but she waited until most people had gone before getting them."
The X Factor judges were fulsome in their praise for Janet at the weekend with Louis Walsh tipping her as the "one to beat in the competition".

"She was involved in music both in and out of school, a lot of it is self-taught, people will have seen her videos on YouTube," he added.
"She won the local heat of the Stars In Their Eyes competition which was held in the school and went through to the final in Belfast, that was about six months ago."
He described Janet as an intelligent girl and said he was impressed with the way she had handled herself both on and off stage.
"She speaks well and does not come across as half-crazed like some contestants," he said.
"She is balanced and humble."

Her death is not being treated as suspicious.
In a statement, Ms Whitfield's family said: "It is with a heavy heart we can confirm that the boot with remains found on Llanddwyn beach was that of Avril.
"[Her sister] Ann's family and close friends would like to thank all the people of Caernarfon and surrounding areas for all their support and kindness shown to them during the months that Avril was missing.
"Avril was very well liked and very much loved by all who knew her."
It also estimated Glasgow itself gained £390m. Over the years 2007-14, an average of 2,100 jobs were created, over half of them in Glasgow.
The report said the games were delivered on time and on budget.
It concluded the largest multi-sport event ever held in Scotland enjoyed "high levels" of public support and participation.
Take a look back at our collection of the Glasgow 2015 highlights
In terms of tourism, Glasgow 2014 attracted about 690,000 unique visitors.
The report said infrastructure for high performance sport had "clearly" been enhanced as a result of Glasgow and Scotland hosting the games.
The range of sports benefitting were said to include swimming, diving, cycling, bowling, hockey and badminton.
The most recent measures of physical activity in adults from the national population statistics are said to show the first increase for a number of years.
The report warns, however, that "further data are required to determine whether this is the beginning of a positive trend".
Chairwoman of sportscotland, Louise Martin, said: "As well as raising sport's profile in Scotland there are a number of positive indicators suggesting there has also been a significant boost for community and performance sport for the country.
"Facilities, both for community and high performance use, have improved substantially across Scotland and we are connecting those improved facilities and the growing number of coaches to the schools and clubs in our communities, which is helping to grow capacity in Scottish sport."
The games saw significant investment in Glasgow, especially in the east of the city.
Glasgow City Council deputy leader Archie Graham said: "We've seen more people participating in sport, inspired by last summer, which is fantastic.
"There's also new housing in the east of Glasgow and a refurbished train station, new roads around the area as well as shops and a doctor's surgery, so there's a fantastic legacy."
Sport minister Jamie Hepburn added: "Ever since Glasgow secured the bid, the Scottish government has been working with all the partners to build a lasting social, cultural and economic legacy for the whole of Scotland.
"As well as delivering the best Commonwealth Games ever, Glasgow 2014 brought so many opportunities to Scotland and continues to do so."
VisitScotland said the games had left "a lasting legacy on the country's growing event tourism industry".
Chairman Mike Cantlay said: "This year, Scotland's tourism industry is building on the energy and excitement of 2014, using strengths, such as our food and drink and quality visitor experiences, to take Scotland to the world and enhance our reputation as a must-visit, must-return destination."
Activate Learning want to build a three-storey technical facility offering vocational-based education for about 300 14 to 19-year-olds.
It plans to use 0.29 hectares (0.71 acres) of sports field at Bicester Community College.
Sport England objected to the "net loss" of outdoor recreational space for the school and community.
The sports body said no land was offered as a replacement.
It said if the plan is approved, it will refer the decision to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
A report by Cherwell District Council said the council's own local plan highlighted a "shortfall of sports and recreational facilities in Bicester".
But it said in balance, the loss of land was "comparatively small" and represented a "relatively under-used corner" of the playing field, while the new college brought benefits to the town.
The technical college will employ up to 30 people and will be operated by Activate Learning, who will also oversee Bicester Community College which is converting to an academy.
Bicester Town Council "strongly supports" the application.
Concerns have also been raised about increased traffic.
Cherwell councillors are due to decide on the planning application, which has been recommended for approval by officers, on 3 September.
The companies own land on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Singapore's foreign minister said he had asked the attorney-general to consider the legal options.
However, he said it was mainly up to Indonesia to take action against the companies.
The firms, Asia Pacific Resources International (April) and Sinar Mas, are headquartered in Singapore but have Indonesian owners.
"The majority of hotspots in Riau (province) are inside April and Sinar Mas concessions," Indonesian presidential aide Kuntoro Mangkusubroto told Reuters news agency.
Asia Pacific Resources International has issued a statement to the BBC denying the allegations.
Pollution has reached record levels in Singapore as a result of the smoky haze, affecting millions of residents.
In pictures: Indonesia fires
However, the smog has now lifted giving residents a glimpse of blue skies on Saturday.
The Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) was 73 at 17:00 local time (09:00 GMT) - below the level at which health advisories are issued.
The PSI peaked at 401 on Friday - the highest in Singapore's history.
Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsieng Loong warned on Thursday that the haze could remain for weeks.
Foreign Minister K Shanmugam also said he would bring up the issue at a meeting of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) taking place in Brunei next week, and he has not ruled out appealing to other international bodies.
The haze is being blamed on illegal burning in Indonesia's Riau province, near the provincial capital Pekanbaru.
Palm-oil firms are accused of using slash-and-burn techniques to clear space for their plantations.
Firefighters in Sumatra are continuing to try to bring the blazes under control.
Environmental group Greenpeace International said its analysis of Nasa data between 11 and 21 June had "revealed hundreds of fire hotspots in palm oil concessions".
"Fires across Sumatra are wreaking havoc for millions of people in the region and destroying the climate," said Bustar Maitar, head of Greenpeace Indonesia's forest campaign.
A senior official in the Indonesian president's office said fires had been spotted on land owned by 32 companies in the region, some of them based in Malaysia and Singapore.
Schools in parts of Malaysia and Indonesia have closed temporarily.
In a statement, the foreign ministry said the case of Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos illustrated "the new reality".
The mother-of-two was detained on Wednesday when she went for a routine check-in with immigration officials.
President Donald Trump has promised to crack down on illegal immigrants with criminal records.
Garcia de Rayos, 36, had pleaded guilty in 2009 to using forged documents to get a job and was issued with a deportation order in 2013.
However, she was allowed to remain under President Barack Obama's policy of leniency towards undocumented migrants who had entered the US as children.
Garcia de Rayos's children were born in the US and they remain there with her husband.
"The case of Mrs Garcia de Rayos illustrates the new reality for the Mexican community living in the United States, facing the most severe implementation of immigration control measures," the foreign ministry said in its statement (in Spanish).
"For this reason, the entire Mexican community is invited to take precautions and to keep in touch with its nearest consulate, to obtain the necessary assistance to face a situation of this type."
The ministry said Mexico's consulates in the US were "stepping up" their work to protect fellow nationals "anticipating more severe immigration measures to be implemented by the authorities".
It urged Mexicans to have an emergency plan in case they had to return home.
Last November, Mexico published a list of measures aimed at helping citizens living in the US following the election of Mr Trump.
Seven protesters were arrested late on Wednesday as they tried to block a vehicle taking Garcia de Rayos away from the immigration office in Phoenix, Arizona, where she was being held.
Her lawyer, Ray Ybarra-Maldonado, said she was taken to Nogales in Mexico on Thursday morning by US immigration staff.
Mr Ybarra-Maldonado had earlier told the New York Times that a "war on immigrants" had begun.
Garcia de Rayos was detained a few days after President Trump signed an executive order broadening the regulations covering deportation.
It stipulates that any undocumented immigrants convicted of a criminal offence get priority for deportation.
An estimated 11 million immigrants were living in the US illegally as of 2014.

Armed officers responded to a "serious public order incident" and shots being fired on Portsdown Hill, near Portsmouth, on Sunday evening.
Some of those held were arrested in the Fairfield Avenue area of Fareham. A gun has also been found.
Hampshire Constabulary said all six remained in custody while inquiries continued.
George Ferguson won with a total of 37,353 votes, 6,094 more than Labour's Marvin Rees in second place.
The two candidates went through to a second round of counting after neither had over 50% of first preference votes.
The turnout was 28%, which was higher than in the May referendum when Bristol voted for the new post.
After being declared winner, Mr Ferguson, 65, said the result was "a mandate".
He said: "I believe that today we voted for a new way of doing things. I don't see this as a vote for me - I see it as a vote for Bristol.
"I want to use that mandate to go and ask the prime minister and the government in general for more powers for Bristol and for more resources. I think we deserve it.
"We have delivered what they wanted, now they have got to deliver what we want."
He said he was "honoured" to be a servant and invited voters to judge him by what he does.
An architect famous for always wearing red trousers, Mr Ferguson also owns restaurants and bars in Bristol and has lived in the city for almost 50 years.

George Ferguson chose not to make big policy commitments in his campaign - knowing the mayor must work within a shrinking budget.
He has however promised to deliver an arena for the city, intends to ask government for powers to curb the expansion of supermarkets and to ask for permission to found an integrated transport authority.
He has two other big tasks to tackle over the next few days. He must form a cabinet made up of councillors who belong to political parties and he must find at least £26m to cut from the council budget.
He set up the Bristol 1st party so that he could be distinguished from other independent candidates on the ballot paper.
However, he has pledged to dissolve the party - of which he is the only member - once the election is over.
Mr Ferguson finished his victory speech by paying tribute to Marvin Rees, "a great guy" who came in second place.
The Labour candidate said he had "failed today" but the real challenge was about what to do next.
"There is a greater good in my not achieving this today, so that people can see that we keep going," he said.
The result confirms that the Liberal Democrat party has lost control of the authority.
Jon Rogers, the authority's deputy leader, came fourth in the race with 6,202 of the total number of counted votes.
He said: "It is obviously disappointing but it has been a really interesting few weeks.
"Essentially people decided that George Ferguson was a better bet and they wanted an independent this time so we have to accept the view of the electorate."
A former lord mayor of the city, Conservative Geoff Gollop, said it was an "interesting" result after coming third with 8,136 votes.
"It's a sign of the fact that people are seriously disillusioned with what they see as mainstream politics," he added.
"What is extraordinary is that, after a fantastic campaign, even the Green candidate was actually brought into the same consideration."
In May, 24% turned out to vote in the referendum, with 41,032 in favour of a mayor and 35,880 against.
Turnout across Bristol for the mayoral election varied from 42.64% in Henleaze to 11.21% in Hartcliffe.
Londoner Waters, 30, who beat world champion Laura Massaro in the quarter-finals, lost 11-6 11-9 9-11 11-5 to third seed Raneem el Weleily in Cairo.
Meanwhile, world number one Nicol David reached her eighth world final after coming back from two games to one down to defeat Egypt's Omneya Kawy.
The Malaysian, 31, will face Weleily, who is in her first final, on Saturday.
After rallying to win 11-9 9-11 8-11 11-5 11-5, David said: "I played with more purpose with my shots and she attempted a few things which were out of reach, and made a few unforced errors."
Weleily, who will play the final in front of her home crowd, said: "Somehow I have to handle it as if it were just another match."
He represented the Black Country constituency for 18 years after being elected at the second attempt in 1992.
Before becoming elected to Westminster he was also a Wolverhampton councillor.
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair described him as "a kind, gracious man" who "was hugely popular in Parliament and will be sorely missed".
Steve Evans, chairman of the local Labour party, said he would be "sadly missed and fondly remembered" for his commitment to the Black Country.
"He was the kind of guy that wanted to tackle unfairness and challenge inaccuracies," he said.
"You'd be out on the doorstep campaigning with Ken and you'd always lose him, and you'd find he was actually still at the first house where you'd started the door-knocking and he's still trying to challenge and convince someone on the doorstep.
"It was commonly known that if he went to do the weekly shop with his wife Brenda at the local supermarket it could take four or five hours, and that's because he always had time to spend with people and listen to people."
Emma Reynolds, who succeeded Mr Purchase as Wolverhampton North East MP, described him as "a great champion for Wolverhampton".
Politicians and constituents took to Twitter to praise his political work.
Mr Blair added: "Ken was a passionate and effective representative of his beloved Wolverhampton and a lovely Parliamentary colleague. A kind, gracious man who even when he disagreed did so with charm and without meanness of spirit.
"He was hugely popular in Parliament and will be sorely missed and greatly mourned."
The deal was launched last year and was described as a world first for the snowsports industry.
Ski-Scotland, which promotes winter pursuits, said the recent skis season in both Scotland and Iceland had proved to be problematic.
It also said the scheme would need time to become a success.
The initiative involves Scotland's CairnGorm Mountain, Glencoe Mountain, Glenshee, Nevis Range and The Lecht ski centres.
All nine of Iceland's snowsports centres are involved in the scheme, which was agreed at the North Atlantic Ski Areas' Association's 2016 conference.
A spinoff of the first year of the initiative was the exchanging of ideas and experiences between Scottish and Icelandic professionals.
One of Glenshee's ski patrollers spent the winter season at Iceland's largest ski area, Hlíðarfjall near Akureyri, close to the Arctic Circle.
Glenshee's director Kate Hunter was also invited to visit and she travelled to Iceland both at the end of January to deliver a ski patrol clinic for local patrollers and again at Easter, the busiest time for the Icelandic ski areas.
Ms Hunter found several differences between Scottish and Icelandic skiing.
She said: "One, which was very noticeable, is the relaxed attitude of the Icelanders with only the chairlift and moving carpet actually being manned at quiet times.
"Ski hire is semi-automated and in the early winter, so far north, a lot of the skiing is under floodlights.
"They also have a very keen race-training programme."
The deal offers season ticket holders at all the Scottish and Icelandic ski areas the opportunity to ski or snowboard at any ski area in the other country.
It is also linked to Ski-Scotland's all-area season pass which covers all five Scottish mountain ski areas.
Heather Negus, chairwoman of Ski-Scotland, said: "When this was agreed, we acknowledged that it would probably take a good few winters for interest to build up, based on good conditions in each country.
"Winter 2016-17 was problematic for both Icelandic and Scottish ski areas, with snowfalls frequently followed by mild weather.
"It is therefore no surprise that there was limited take-up of this offer in its first winter."
Customers of Glencoe Mountain and Glenshee inquired about what was available in Iceland, but it was not known how many of these enquiries resulted in skiers travelling, said Ski-Scotland.
Several ski touring enthusiasts did visit Iceland, but Ski-Scotland said that it seemed unlikely that they also skied at the recognised snowsports areas.
Scotland's most recent snowsports season was described as "challenging".
Fluctuating temperatures meant a stop-start season, with periods of heavy snow followed by milder conditions and melting snow.
However, the Scottish industry has enjoyed successful years recently.
In 2012-13 there were 290,996 skier days generating more than £29m for the economy.
The 2014-15 season involved 230,634 skier days, raising £23.2m.
It was also the first in years that all five of Scotland's outdoor ski centres opened for snowsports before Christmas.
A skier day means one person who skis or snowboards on one day. Many of the same people return to the slopes several times during the season.
The decision means e-Voke, produced by British American Tobacco, could be prescribed on the NHS.
Public Health England says e-cigarettes are far less harmful than tobacco and help smokers quit.
But some experts, including the British Medical Association, say the benefits and harms are not yet known since e-cigarettes are still relatively new.
The Royal College of GPs said doctors would be reluctant to hand them out to patients without clear merits.
Around 10m adults - one in five - in the UK smoke cigarettes.
Many of these would like to or are actively trying to kick the habit and an increasing number are turning to e-cigarettes, the NHS says.
In the year up to April 2015, two out of three people who used e-cigarettes in combination with the NHS stop smoking service managed to successfully quit.
Prof Kevin Fenton, National Director of Health and Wellbeing, Public Health England, says e-cigarettes have become the most popular quitting aid in England.
And he thinks more people should benefit.
"Public Health England wants to see a choice of safe and effective replacements for smoking that smokers themselves want to use," he said.
But Dr Tim Ballard of the Royal College of GPs said it would be unreasonable for the NHS to be asked to fund lifestyle choices for people.
"Potentially, there may be a place for the prescription of e-Voke as part of a smoking cessation programme, but GPs would be very wary of prescribing them until there was clear evidence of their safety and of their efficacy in helping people to quit," he said.
"At the moment there isn't the evidence and the guidance hasn't been written to help GPs make those decisions."
1. On some e-cigarettes, inhalation activates the battery-powered atomiser. Other types are manually switched on
2. A heating coil inside the atomiser heats liquid nicotine contained in a cartridge
3. The mixture becomes vapour and is inhaled. Many e-cigarettes have an LED light as a cosmetic feature to simulate traditional cigarette glow.
Different brands of e-cigarettes contain different chemical concentrations.
Deborah Arnott of Action on Smoking and Heath (ASH) said: "Electronic cigarettes are a much safer alternative source of nicotine for smokers than cigarettes, but that doesn't mean they are risk-free and we would discourage anyone who's not a smoker from using them.
"It is good news that an electronic cigarette has received a licence from the medicines regulator, as we know that they have been effective in helping smokers quit, and the cost, as part of a quit attempt, will be far lower than treating the diseases caused by smoking."
Another type of nicotine inhaler which closely resembles a cigarette, called Voke, was licensed in 2014 to be marketed as an aid to help people stop smoking.
March's figure was revised down from 215,000 and February's was also revised from 242,000 down to 233,000.
The jobless rate remained at 5% and average hourly earnings rose 2.5%.
April's report is being closely watched, as it could influence an upcoming interest rate decision by the US Federal Reserve.
Fed policy makers hold a two-day meeting starting on 14 June and some thought they might decide to raise interest rates.
But some think the latest jobs report has diminished that prospect.
Aberdeen Asset Management, investment manager Luke Bartholomew, said: "Anyone wanting a June hike should probably look away now. The headline number is disappointing, while the household survey looks particularly ugly.
"If there's a bright spot then it's wages which were a bit better than expected. That's important. The lack of any meaningful increase in wages has caused much head scratching at the Fed. But there's probably not enough here to keep a June hike a clear and present danger."
However, Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital Economics, thinks that a rate increase is still possible.
"Overall, there is nothing here to swing the Fed's June rate decision very far in either direction. We still think the Fed will hike next month, but it's shaping up to be a close call," he said.
Mr Ashworth said the increases in average weekly hours worked and average hourly earnings were "reassuring".
In December, the Fed raised rates for the first time in ten years. That rise was seen as the first of a number of moves upwards and Fed officials have forecast two more rate rises for this year.
But since then the economic news has been mixed.
In April, official figures showed that US growth slowed to an annual pace of 0.5% during the first quarter of the year.
This is a rather disappointing report.
Slower growth in jobs - compared with what was expected and compared with previous months.
There was also a marked increase in the number of people not in the labour force. That means people are not looking for work, which can sometimes mean they don't expect to find any.
The good news was the slightly faster rise in average earnings. This has been a weak feature of the recovery after the financial crisis, so the acceleration, modest though it is, can be seen as encouraging.
Still, this was just one month's worth of data. That can give some clues about the underlying state of the labour market, but it's no basis for drawing firm conclusions.
Today's report showed the strongest jobs growth was in business services and healthcare.
Professional and business services added 65,000 jobs in April and healthcare recorded a 44,000 increase.
The number of those employed in mining fell back as the energy sector continues to suffer weak profits thanks to the low oil price.
The share of working-age Americans who are employed or at least looking for a job, fell 0.2% to 62.8%.

Former Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman was answering questions about a mystery medical package delivered to him in 2011 for the team's former rider Sir Bradley Wiggins.
Freeman, who now works for British Cycling, said the Jiffy bag contained only the legal decongestant Fluimucil, but added he "regrets" failing to back-up his clinical records.
Damian Collins - chairman of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, which has been conducting an inquiry into doping - said the evidence "leaves major questions for Team Sky and British Cycling".
The delivery, on the final day of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine race in France, has also been the subject of a UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) investigation.
Dr Freeman withdrew from a planned appearance in front of the parliamentary committee earlier in March citing ill health. During the hearing, Team Sky and British Cycling's record-keeping was questioned, with Ukad chief Nicole Sapstead telling the committee her organisation did not know for sure if Fluimucil was in the package because there was no paperwork.
Freeman has now provided written responses to a number of questions.
He said "only Fluimucil was contained in the package sent" and he had requested it "a day or two before the end of the Dauphine".
Freeman explained he did not believe the specific form of Fluimucil he required was available in France and added: "My first thought was of the supply I had in Manchester, and that the team would be able to access that supply quickly."
In response to questions around record-keeping, Freeman said: "The present system of medical record-keeping and medicines management is a massive improvement to that which existed in 2011.
"I accept that it would have been desirable to have backed up my clinical records, whatever system was used. I regret not doing this."
In response, Collins said in a statement: "Once again, this new evidence leaves major questions outstanding for Team Sky and British Cycling. In particular, why were no back-up medical records kept for Bradley Wiggins in 2011, beyond those on Dr Freeman's laptop computer?
"Why were there not more formal protocols enforced on record-keeping, and whose responsibility was it to make sure that Team Sky's own stated policies were being enforced."
In December, Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford told the committee the package in question contained Fluimucil, and while Team Sky have admitted "mistakes were made" over the medical package, they deny breaking anti-doping rules.
There is no suggestion either Wiggins, 36, or Team Sky broke any rules.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has spoken out after Jermaine Baker was shot dead on Friday during an alleged attempt to spring two convicts from a prison van.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has opened a homicide investigation.
Sir Bernard said it was an "unusual turn of events".
Following the shooting of Mr Baker, in Wood Green, north London, the men being transported in the prison van - Erwin Amoyaw-Gyamfi, 29, and Erun Izzet, 32 - were jailed for 14 years each, for their part in an attempted "professional hit" in October.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Sir Bernard said he hoped to hear more details at a community meeting being held in Tottenham later.
The event is hosted by the Peace Alliance and Tottenham Rights and representatives from the police, the IPCC, Haringey Council and Mr Baker's family are due to attend.
It was called to address concerns about the renewed strain the shooting has placed on relations with police.
It comes after the Metropolitan Police faced criticism for the way it handled the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan in 2011 in Tottenham - leading to riots.
Sir Bernard said: "There will be limits on what the IPCC can tell but at least they will be able to share what they know and we will explain what we can."
He told Today: "I don't have access to the IPCC's investigation.
"They are an independent investigator and of course they have had the chance to talk to witnesses and make some assessment of the scene."
Referring to the homicide investigation, he said: "We are waiting to hear some of the reasoning. But it is an unusual turn of events."
When the investigation was launched, the Met suspended a firearms officer.
The IPCC said Mr Baker died of a single gunshot wound.
The investigation does not mean criminal charges will necessarily follow.
Sir Bernard added it was "frustrating" no way had yet been found for officers on covert operations to wear cameras, because they have been deemed too large.
He said: "I'm sure that would have been really helpful in this case to show what exactly what happened."
But 1,500 uniformed officers have worn them this year, he said.
The athletes, nine of whom come from former Soviet Union nations, all tested positive for various steroids.
No gold medallists were among the 10, but there were three silver medallists from weightlifting and wrestling.
Greek triple jumper Chrysopigi Devetzi and Ukrainian pole vaulter Denys Yurchenko have lost their bronzes.
Six more athletes who did not win medals in 2008 were also disqualified, including Russia's Elena Slesarenko, who won gold in the women's high jump in Athens in 2004 but was only fourth in Beijing.
The IOC has been retesting samples from both the Beijing and London Games and it brings the total of banned athletes from 2008 to 76.

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

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

The 31-year-old striker said he hoped to "play a full part" in the rest of the Premier League club's season.
United boss Jose Mourinho had refused to rule out the prospect of Rooney's exit this month, although a deal before the Chinese transfer window closes on 28 February was always unlikely.
"It's an exciting time at the club and I want to remain a part," said Rooney.
Rooney's agent, Paul Stretford, had travelled to China to see if he could negotiate a deal, although it is not known which clubs he spoke to.
Two of the three clubs who looked the most likely options - Beijing Guoan and Jiangsu Suning - dismissed speculation about a transfer.
Rooney's representatives had already spoken to the third option - Tianjin Quanjian - but their coach, Fabio Cannavaro, said talks did not progress.
Rooney is United's record goalscorer and has won five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy since joining them as an 18-year-old for £27m from Everton in 2004.
The forward, whose contract expires in 2019, has said he would not play for an English club other than United or Everton.
United are sixth in the Premier League and remain in three cup competitions, having reached the last 16 of the Europa League on Wednesday.
They face Southampton in the EFL Cup final on Sunday before taking on Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals on 13 March.
"Despite the interest which has been shown from other clubs, for which I'm grateful, I want to end recent speculation and say that I am staying at Manchester United.
"I hope I will play a full part in helping the team in its fight for success on four fronts.
"It's an exciting time at the club and I want to remain a part of it."
Simon Stone, BBC Sport
Rooney's statement settles his short-term future but does nothing to address long-term issues over his future.
Rooney has only started eight Premier League games this season - fewer than Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Henrikh Mkhitaryan - and has featured only three times since breaking United's goalscoring record at Stoke last month.
He remains committed to United and ideally would stay at Old Trafford.
However, should he not play regularly between now and the end of the season, he would explore other options.
These would include Major League Soccer, as well as China. It is understood his previous statement, that he would only play for United or Everton in the Premier League, still stands.
Interest from China is genuine but despite long-time adviser Paul Stretford travelling to the country this week, there was never any realistic possibility of completing a deal before Tuesday's Chinese Super League transfer deadline.
Rooney has scored five goals in 29 appearances for the Red Devils this season, but has started only three games since 17 December and may yet leave in the summer.
Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp says Rooney would be an "ideal" signing for United's Premier League rivals Arsenal.
"Arsenal lack somebody like Rooney - a winner, a leader," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He could easily go into somewhere like Arsenal and get a few of their players by the scruff of the neck on the pitch and improve their performances."
Redknapp, who was speaking before Rooney's announcement, also suggested the player could make "a dream move" back to Everton.
But Rooney's former team-mate Phil Neville said the striker "shouldn't write off his United career" and he could not see him moving to China.
A militant ring was found to be operating in Sardinia, and there had been possible plans to target the Holy See, according to investigators.
The Vatican has downplayed the significance of the claims.
Some of the suspects are believed to have organised the 2009 market bombing in Peshawar in Pakistan.
Local media said two of the men had provided protection for former al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
Police issued 20 warrants and made nine arrests in raids on Friday.
Prosecutor Mauro Mura told a press conference in Cagliari, Sardinia, that wiretaps indicated the suspected terrorists had been planning a bomb attack at the Vatican in March 2010.
There had been "signals of some preparation for a possible attack", including the arrival of a suicide bomber in Rome, the Associated Press quoted Mr Mura as saying.
"We don't have proof, we have strong suspicion," police chief Mario Carta said.
But Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi issued a statement saying: "From what it appears, this concerns a hypothesis that dates from 2010 which didn't occur.
"It has therefore no relevance today and no reason for particular concern."
Police earlier said those arrested came from Pakistan and Afghanistan and the operation was ongoing.
The suspects were accused of staging attacks against the government in Pakistan.
More than 100 people were killed when a huge car bomb ripped through a busy market in Peshawar, Pakistan, in October 2009.
The Italian militant ring was also said to be engaged in trafficking illegal migrants from Pakistan and Afghanistan to Europe, providing them with false documents.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano praised the operation, which started in 2009, saying it had not only dismantled a "network of people traffickers" but detained also several individuals accused of conspiring with "terrorists".

He was Reece Meenan, 13, from the Coleraine area.
The incident happened on Newbridge Road at about 18:30 GMT on Saturday. Police said the car failed to stop at the scene and it was found several hours later in Magherafelt.
A 23-year-old man who was arrested has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Reece, a third year student at Loreto College in Coleraine, would have celebrated his 14th birthday next week.
School principal Michael James said Reece was "was an extremely likeable and popular pupil" who "participated fully in school life".
"Two years ago, he was a vital member of the Year 8 soccer team, which won the league and this year was a key member of the Year 10 Gaelic squad, which is due to play in the semi-final of the cup.
"Reece was beginning to develop as a student and was carefully considering his options for the future, with his passion for sport at the forefront of his career aspirations"
Mr James said Reece was a "lively boy with a good sense of humour".
"He will be desperately missed by his teachers and fellow students alike".
DUP MLA Maurice Bradley said the death had caused shock in Coleraine.
He said his thoughts were with the Meenan family and described the death as a "great tragedy".
Sinn Féin MLA Caoimhe Archibald said Reece's family had been left "devastated" by his death.
"Nothing anyone can say at this point is going to help with what they are going through," she said.
"The loss of a young person in such terrible circumstances is so difficult to come to terms with".
The teenager represented local soccer and GAA clubs in Coleraine.
On their Facebook page, Bertie Peacock Youth FC said Reece will be "sadly missed by all at our club, especially the kids who knew him best".
Reece also played for Eoghan Rua GAA club who described the loss of the "lively young footballer" as "untimely and tragic."

Indeed, what they're watching has just flashed past with the quiet fizz of a tennis ball.
But this isn't Wimbledon.
The object of their fascination is the Vauxhall Ampera, the latest electric car to arrive in the UK.
For unusually in the world of electric motoring, this is a car that actually looks rather cool: the first head-turner in its class, perhaps.
And it's a sign that electric cars are changing fast.
Ranges are extending, charge times are decreasing and prices are about to halve.
In the space of a year and a half, the economics of electric motoring will have changed significantly.
Britain's best-known electric car, the Nissan Leaf, currently sells for just under £26,000, once the government grant of £5,000 is deducted.
This month, the Renault Fluence will enter showrooms in the UK with prices starting from £17,500.
And by the autumn, the Renault Zoe will be with us for less than £14,000.
How has Renault achieved such price reductions so rapidly?
For starters, the company has gone for a new model of ownership.
Drivers will buy the car, but rent the battery quite separately. Depending on mileage, the rental costs will be roughly £1,000 a year.
But for that price, you get a battery that is guaranteed for life. That should mean no more worries about batteries deteriorating over time, or depressing the second-hand value of the car.
Driving the Fluence through the daffodil-fringed villages of the Chiltern Hills, it's hard not to get a good feeling.
Until the moment at which range anxiety begins to kick in.
In theory, the Fluence has a range of up to 125 miles (200km), but in practice, you can call that between 70 and 80 miles, especially in colder weather.
And it still needs up to eight hours to charge the battery.
"It's not the car for everybody," admits Andy Heiron, the head of Renault's electric car division in the UK.
"But the vast majority of people travel less than 40 miles a day," he says.
"And that's a significant enough proportion of people for whom a vehicle with a 100-mile range makes perfect sense."
Despite such arguments, electric motoring so far hasn't caught on.
Philip Hammond, then Transport Secretary, predicted that 2011 was going to be the year the industry took off.
It didn't.
In Britain last year, just 1,000 electric cars were sold, even though the government offered its considerable incentive to buyers.
But if Renault hasn't yet solved the range problem, General Motors claims it has.
Next month, the car born as the Chevrolet Volt in the US will go on sale in the UK as the Vauxhall Ampera.
The Volt has had disappointing sales in the US, partly because of a series of fires in its batteries after crash testing.
So can it do any better in the UK?
Vauxhall is targeting 2,000 sales this year and 5,000 in 2013. While it is aiming particularly at the corporate market, these are ambitious numbers.
But certainly anyone looking for a longer driving range may want to look at the Ampera seriously.
Even though it will only do between 20 and 50 miles on its battery alone, it has a range-extending generator which kicks in automatically after that, taking its possible mileage up to 350 miles.
That's certainly enough to get you from London to Carlisle, if not London to Edinburgh.
"Conventional battery vehicles are fine as a second car, maybe for local commuting," says Denis Chick of Vauxhall.
"But this can be the primary family car, so you don't have to consider getting a second."
Yet with the petrol-driven generator, it's hard to calculate running costs.
Vauxhall claims it will do between 50 and 100 miles to the gallon, which would compare favourably with many other small cars.
But the biggest stumbling block remains the cost: £29,950 for the basic version, after accounting for the government grant.
Even for a good-looker, that's a lot of money.
Electric technology is changing fast. Renault's idea of renting out the battery separately from the cost of the car has inspired an Israeli company, called Better Place, to start building battery swap stations.
The idea is that you drive in and automatically get your battery swapped, in about the same time it takes to fill up with a tank of petrol.
No need to recharge the battery on a long drive, so the range becomes nearly indefinite.
The company is building a network of such stations in Israel, Denmark and later this year in Australia, although there are no plans to build any yet in the UK.
"I think battery-swapping is a brilliant idea," says Renault's Andy Heiron.
"But don't hold off, waiting for the miracle solution, when the reality is that cable charging is what most people will be working with for several years."
When the Zoe is launched this autumn, Renault also claims that the charging time issue will also have been resolved.
The car will accept so-called fast charging, which allows it to receive 80% of a full charge in just half an hour.
With its price tag of £13,650, that could make it a real game-changer.
Philip Hammond's sentiments may even prove correct, if several years later than he originally predicted.
Researchers at Essex University looked at the height, weight and age of 10,000 children and found 6% were too thin.
Experts believe that weighting too little can be more damaging to health than weighing too much.
Dr Gavin Sandercock from the research team said that more attention should be given to helping underweight kids.
"The fact is the UK is obsessed with overweight and obesity - yet it is now accepted that underweight may pose a much greater risk to health," he said.
The researchers said some of the reasons for the number of underweight kids in the UK could be the fear of becoming too fat, rising food prices, poor diets and lack of muscle due to not enough exercise.
Being underweight can lead to a lack of energy in kids and can weaken their immune system, meaning they are more susceptible to illnesses.
Dr Sandercock called for better training for doctors to spot the problem and new ways of helping parents too.
Although they frequently talk about politics online, these so-called 'millennials' are traditionally less likely to vote than older people.
Developers have created a host of new apps targeting this age group.
But are they enough to encourage the smartphone generation to become more politically engaged?
Apps like Voter build on existing formats to introduce users to political candidates who align with their own beliefs.
Created by 26-year-old web developer Hunter Scarborough, Voter allows users to swipe left and right through a number of political candidates until they find the ideal match.
You could describe it as a political form of Tinder.
Scarborough says he created the app after becoming frustrated by the lack of political news sources he felt he could trust.
"I didn't want to vote on a sound bite from a news anchor, or a sound bite from a family member," he says.
"I looked at the wealth of raw political data becoming available, and realized there could be a much faster and more accurate way to become informed."
Scarborough is convinced apps like his can have a positive impact on turnout.
"If someone has a horse in the race, they're much more likely to participate," he says.
"So if you use the app and you have a strong degree of confidence in who you match for, you are much more likely to be at the polls when election day comes, " he adds.
Unlike Voter, the Brigade app - which builds on a Facebook-style model to encourage public political discussion online - does not allow users to choose whether to share their political information with others.
The social networking app works by asking a series of questions about political issues, allowing users to mark 'agree', 'disagree' or 'unsure'.
They can then see how they compare to their friends, followers and the wider population of users.
Brigade stresses the "huge potential" of apps to help younger voters get involved in politics, but recognises the difficulty in ensuring they remain interested.
"The hard part is getting to a scale that ensures people's voices and votes have real influence," says its spokesman Andrew Noyes.
"Those of us operating at the intersection of tech and politics must lead with issues millennials care about and find ways to keep them engaged by taking action with friends and neighbours."
Other apps target specific social groups who are less likely to vote - such as Hispanic millennials.
According to the Pew Research Centre, roughly 11.9 million will be eligible to vote in 2016.
People in this age bracket make up a larger share of Hispanic eligible voters than they do among white eligible voters - 44% versus 27%.
The Unidos app aims to mobilise young Latino voters.
It was launched by Feet in 2 Worlds (Fi2W), a media project at The New School, New York City.
It provides users with a newsfeed with links to relevant articles, voting guides, emojis and links to other social media platforms.
"People who are less politically engaged need encouragement to register and vote," says John Rudolph, Executive Producer of Fi2W.
"We all understand that by working together and using a variety of approaches we have a better chance of breaking the historic trend of Latino under-voting."
But experts say although apps have the potential to encourage an interest in politics, they can only go so far in motivating 18-35 year olds.
One expert warns that political apps mainly appeal to young people "already highly engaged", looking for ways to connect with others online.
"They leave behind young people who are just not interested in politics, let alone doing something concrete in relation to the candidates and/or campaigns," explained Dr Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg, director of the Centre for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tisch College.
She points to the the "stalemate" in US Congress as a demotivating factor for young people and also to a lack of confidence amongst this group in political figures in general.
But she is keen to stress that millennials' lack of engagement in traditional politics should not be interpreted as an unwillingness to participate.
Hunter Scarborough agrees. "Millennials actually have the highest volunteering and community service rates than any other generation that came before them," he says.
"What that says to me is that there's a strong desire to have impact, but they haven't really seen the value in doing so through traditional methods."
Hunter Scarborough spoke to Deirdre Finnerty on World Update on the BBC World Service - listen to the interview here
But apps alone won't make the difference.
For Dr Kawashima-Ginsberg, a number of strategies are needed to increase engagement, boost registration and turnout.
She says there is still no real replacement for face-to-face contact.
"Candidates need to engage with them in person, and listen to what they have to say, instead of relying on the convenience of the apps to let young people find out about them," she says.
Five homes in Glen Crescent and Bonnington Road in Peebles and properties in the Bellfield area of Eddleston were targeted.
A Ford Transit van, grey Audi A6, off-road motorbike and other items were taken between 21:00 on Tuesday and 06:00 on Wednesday.
Police said inquiries were continuing to see if the crimes were linked.
PC Ian Knipe said: "All of the victims are understandably upset following the break-ins to their properties and the theft of their various items and vehicles.
"Anyone who remembers seeing any suspicious activity around the affected streets on Tuesday or Wednesday is asked to contact police immediately.
"In addition, anyone who can help us identify and trace those responsible, should also get in touch."
He told activists that his goal was to change the "economic discourse" in the country and secure "dynamic growth".

He also called on Labour MPs who had refused to serve under new leader Jeremy Corbyn "to come back".
* Follow live video and rolling text commentary with Labour conference live
In his first speech as shadow chancellor to the party conference in Brighton, he set out Labour's thinking and priorities in key areas:
Mr McDonnell rejected Conservative claims that Labour were "deficit deniers", attacking George Osborne's record and insisting that a future Labour government would secure prosperity through increased investment.
He attacked the "current model" of economic policymaking, saying the Conservatives only "represented the 1% of the richest" in society and said he was "fearful" for the existing economic recovery which he suggested was based on insecure, unsustainable foundations.
"We are embarking on the immense task of changing the economic discourse in this country," he said.
"Step by step: First we are throwing off that ridiculous charge that we are deficit deniers. Second we are saying tackling the deficit is important but we are rejecting austerity as the means to do it.
"Third we are setting out an alternative based upon dynamically growing our economy, ending the tax cuts for the rich and addressing the scourge of tax evasion and avoidance."
Analysis by political editor Laura Kuenssberg
Has the radical firebrand really gone? The Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell joked this morning that he would come across as a "boring local bank manager" today. He was not, from the conference platform, announcing a sweep of firm new policies, fundamentally changing Labour's positions immediately.
Although Team Corbyn keeps reminding us, we are all now living in the "new politics", they have come up with a rather familiar political strategy - announce a review. But John McDonnell did not quite live up to his own promise of being completely dull.
The hall loved his promise to pursue companies aggressively to pay tax; his promise to build homes for all homeless families; to end the pay gap; to reject austerity.
Mr McDonnell and Mr Corbyn want to raise taxes on the City, get businesses and the wealthy to pay more of their fair share of tax. But crucially, he believes Labour can balance the books and rejects accusations he's a "deficit denier".
He knows it is important for the public and the rest of the party that he is seen to be trying to stitch the party's economic credibility back together.
So those really radical ideas? Reviewing how the whole economic system works? Changing how the Bank of England and the Treasury work? But first he wants members of the public and experts to take part in a big conversation about the economy, a fundamental look at everything.
We know his views make him the most radical shadow chancellor in many years. And more to the point, Mr Corbyn's campaign succeeded based on big, bold promises about transforming how the country pays its way. But the really fundamental transformations? For now they wait.
But perhaps old habits die hard. Whatever McDonnell's ambition to be dull, his hope not to frighten off his party's moderates today, when I asked him if he still wanted to work to overthrow capitalism, he didn't demur - "it's already happening", he told me, "bit by bit".
Labour, he conceded, had to prove it had a workable approach but promised "as socialists we will display our competence with our compassion".
"Idealists yes, but ours is a pragmatic idealism to get things done, to transform our society. We remain inspired by the belief and hope that another world is possible. This is our opportunity to prove it. Let's seize it."
In the speech, he said he would launch a consultation on a fresh mandate for the Bank of England while insisting it would retain its independence - granted by Labour in 1997 - and its ability to set interest rates without political interference.
At the moment, the Bank of England's mandate is to deliver price stability, focusing on delivering inflation of 2%. Governor Mark Carney must write to the government every time the target is missed by 1% on either side. However, inflation is currently close to 0% and has not been within the target band since October 2014.
"They will retain their independence in the same way they had under Gordon Brown and George Osborne," Mr McDonnell told Radio 4's Today.
But he added: "I don't want to be critical of Mr Carney but they are not meeting their mandate.
"It has been 18 years since we reviewed it (the mandate). There will be a parliamentary debate and we want to include in that other aspects of consideration - so for instance prosperity in the economy and long-term investment in the infrastructure."
In Monday's speech, he "demanded" access to the financial models used by the Bank of England and Office for Budget Responsibility to help Labour formulate an alternative economic policy, saying it "should be open to all parties in Parliament" to test their own ideas "in advance of getting into government".
He also announced a review of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs to find out how it could beef up its efforts to collect the billions of pounds avoided by UK companies and individuals every year, saying the likes of "Starbucks, Vodaphone, Amazon and Google" should pay their "fair share".
During his Labour leadership campaign, Jeremy Corbyn claimed £120bn could be recovered from tax avoidance and evasion - enough to eliminate the UK's budget deficit without cutting welfare or public spending - although others in the party have questioned this.
Speaking shortly before Mr McDonnell, the leader of the Unite union Len McCluskey said "defeatists in Labour's ranks" could not be allowed to "debilitate" the shadow chancellor and Mr Corbyn.
But the Conservatives said Labour's plans would "drive up the cost of living" while CBI boss John Cridland said the overall impression given by the speech was "of rather more intervention in the world of business and the economy".
The owner of the Mercedes-Benz brand said it was conducting the probe at the request of the US Justice Department.
"Daimler is co-operating fully with the authorities," the German company said.
Separately, on Friday, Daimler posted a 31% fall in first-quarter profits as costs of new car launches weighed on the bottom line.
News of Daimler's investigation comes after Volkswagen agreed a deal with the US over its emissions scandal, in which it will offer compensation and buy back some cars.
Last year, US regulators discovered that VW cars were fitted with software that could distort emissions tests.
And just this week Japan's Mitsubishi Motors admitted rigging data on some of its models' fuel efficiency, while France's Peugeot has been raided by anti-fraud officials as part of ongoing investigations on pollutants in the car industry. But Peugeot says the pollutant emissions are compliant.
Daimler said it would "investigate possible indications of irregularities and of course take all necessary action".
Six months ago the US Environmental Protection Agency said it would review diesel vehicle emissions in light of the VW revelations.
In addition, US owners of Daimler's Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC diesels filed a class-action lawsuit claiming the cars are programmed in a way that lets them emit illegal levels of emissions, similar to diesels made by fellow German carmaker Volkswagen.
Daimler says the lawsuit's claims are without merit and that the Justice Department investigation is unrelated.
Joe Rundle, head of trading at ETX Capital, said: "Daimler is the next in the firing line as it opens an investigation at the request of the DoJ - the fall in its share price today reflects investors' nervousness about a problem that could easily escalate, even if the company says the class actions against it are baseless."
The company also reported a 31% fall in net profit in the first quarter to €1.3bn ($1.5bn; £1.1bn) in a separate statement later. Revenue rose 2% to €35bn on vehicle sales of 683,885, a 7% increase.
Higher costs outweighed record sales in China.
On the earnings conference call, chief finance officer Bodo Uebber refused to comment further on the emissions investigation.
The guests had taken shelter from heavy rain under a tin shack when a wall collapsed onto it in the storm.
Another 26 people were injured in the accident in Bharatpur, a district in Rajasthan state, 15 of them seriously.
Local media reports say food stalls had been set up along the wall for the wedding.
"The wall and a tin shed attached to it at the marriage venue collapsed due to a storm," police officer Anil Tank is quoted as saying.
He said the wall was nearly 90ft (27m) long and 12-13ft in height and the collapse trapped many guests.
"The injured were rushed to nearby hospitals immediately and treatment was administered," he said.
Bharatpur district is about 200km (124 miles) south of Delhi.
The charity said Hull was the most deprived local authority in Yorkshire and among the most deprived in the country.
It said £4.9m funding would be used to step up how quickly patients are seen.
The project aims to speed up referrals, and improve treatment for people from socially-deprived communities.
The charity said that said in the period 2012-14, the number of people diagnosed with cancer per 100,000 people, was 689 in Hull, compared with 627 for Yorkshire and 615 for England.
Mortality rates for the same period, showed that per 100,000 people the figures were 353 for Hull, 299 for Yorkshire and 282 for England.
Nikki Johnson, from the charity, said: "Early diagnosis is key. Lots of people in Hull are diagnosed late on, at Stage Four cancer.
"Lung cancer in particular is a huge problem, Hull has one of the highest smoking rates in the country - the incidence rate is 131 per 100,000 people, while across England as a whole it's just 78."
The charity is working with the University of Hull, the Hull York Medical School and Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust on the programme.
Interim chief executive Dr Kathryn Scott, said: "Areas with high levels of deprivation often have poor cancer outcomes."
"Smoking and drinking alcohol, poor knowledge and awareness of symptoms, and barriers in access to healthcare", were contributing factors, she explained.
Mike Lind, professor of oncology, said it was important to try to tackle the lung cancer problem, especially.
"I believe research is the best way to understand why people don't come forward, and why treatments don't work," he said.
Former cancer patient, Harry Good, from Long Riston, near Hull, said any scheme which encouraged people to take action was a good thing.
The 73-year-old sought medical help for what he thought was a chest infection, but was diagnosed with lung cancer after having an X-ray.
Mr Good is now cancer-free and said he was one of the "lucky ones".

PCBs were once used in electrical gear, paints and flame retardants, but were banned from the 1970s because of their toxic effect in humans and animals.
However the manmade chemicals have persisted in the environment, and are accumulating in top predators.
The study finds Europe's cetaceans have levels of PCBs that are among the highest found in on the oceans.
Lead author Dr Paul Jepson, a wildlife veterinarian from the Zoological Society of London, said: "For striped dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and killer whales, we have mean PCB levels that are excessive - they are really high - probably the highest in the world right now, by some way.
"Europe is a big big hotspot."
The contamination is so high that some populations of killer whales are facing extinction, he added.
The research is published in the journal Scientific Reports.
PCBs, polychlorinated biphenyls, were manufactured from the 1920s, but were banned in the US in 1979, in the UK in 1981 and in the rest of the EU in 1987.
They were found to have a wide-ranging impact on human and animal health, from links to cancer, to suppressing the immune system and causing reproductive problems.
However, these chemicals are extremely durable and despite the ban they are still found in the environment.
"Europe produced about 300,000 tonnes of PCBs from 1954 to 1984. That was about 15% of the world's total," said Dr Jepson.
"A lot of this PCB, we don't know how much, has not been disposed of and is slowly leaking into rivers and estuaries, from landfills, and eventually into the marine environment."
The chemicals then gradually work their way up the food chain and into the top marine predators, where they accumulate in the cetacean's blubber.
The researchers analysed samples taken from more than 1,000 killer whales and dolphins in Europe's waters.
"Our findings show that, despite the ban and initial decline in environmental contamination, PCBs still persist at dangerously high levels in European cetaceans," explained Dr Jepson.
The levels are higher than those found in cetaceans in the waters around America, and also in those in the Arctic, where much of the PCB pollution is thought to end up.
Europe may have such high levels because it banned PCBs later than some other parts of the world.
Europe's PCB hotspots included the western Mediterranean Sea and south-western Iberian Peninsula.
Dr Jepson said the contamination seemed to be having a marked effect on breeding success and was particularly problematic for newborn calves.
"Because these are mammals, they have a very high-fat milk - so when an adult female is pregnant, and then she has her calf, then she can offload up to 90% of her body burden of PCBs through the milk, through a long lactation," he explained.
"So at a time when the new calf is very vulnerable... this is the time when the PCBs from her blubber can be mobilised and go from the milk to the calf."
He said this appeared to be causing significant problems for striped dolphins and bottlenose dolphins. But Europe's coastal killer whales appeared to be among the hardest hit.
"There are only eight killer whales left around the west of Scotland and Ireland," said Dr Jepson.
"This is a population studied for many years, and there has not been a calf in all the years that this group has been studied, so that population will go extinct."
He added that two pods of 36 killer whales in southern Europe had only have five calves that survived between 1999 and 2011.
"This population is clearly at risk of extinction, and then that is it."
The researchers say more needs to be done to remove or seal off PCB-laden waste on land.
Co-author Prof Robin Law, also from ZSL, said: "Our research underlines the critical need for global policymakers to act quickly and decisively to tackle the lingering toxic legacy of PCBs, before it's too late for some of our most iconic and important marine predators."

David Lancaster, 60, struck wife Helen, 54, six times with the weapon and smothered her with a pillow at their home in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
The father of one took the sledgehammer from the garden shed before creeping upstairs, Bristol Crown Court was told.
Lancaster must serve at least 11 years and nine months in prison before he can be considered for parole.
Judge Neil Ford said a house owned by the couple in Lincoln - which was in Mrs Lancaster's name but had been bought by Lancaster with money he had inherited - was a source of "further annoyance and upset" for the defendant, who killed his teacher wife on 30 September.
The judge told him: "Your relationship had been in difficulty for some time.
"You suspected she had been having an affair with another man. On 20 August your suspicions were confirmed and you confronted Helen".
He added: "I have no doubt that you began to contemplate the benefit of killing your wife.
"Helen had revealed to friends that you had accused her of stealing your inheritance."
The judge told Lancaster: "You said you had been driven to commit murder by the way your wife had treated you and your daughter.
"You also said what you had done was less serious than what your wife had done to you and Amy.
"You have effectively deprived your daughter Amy of both her parents."
After the attack Lancaster fled the house, driving to a beach at Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, where he was later arrested.
He rang the police and confessed to murdering his wife and told them where to find her body.
Lancaster pleaded guilty to murder at a previous hearing.
The French sculptor's Eternal Springtime was created from a single block of marble around 1901, according to art experts.
The sculpture's buyer has not been disclosed by Sotheby's New York.
The previous highest price paid for a Rodin was $16.6m (£11.5m) in February and that work was in bronze.
The bronze, called Iris, Messenger of the God, is considered Rodin's most audacious and sexually explicit work.
Several versions were cast and one of the others was once owned by the late British artist Lucian Freud. Stallone's was particularly prized as it was cast in Rodin's lifetime.
Eternal Springtime features a floral motif base of two lovers in a passionate embrace.
It is believed to be the fifth in a series of 10 known carvings of the same subject created in marble by Rodin.
It was modelled during Rodin's most active period and was intended as part of Rodin's most famous collection of sculptures, The Gates of Hell. In the end, it was not included - in the same way that Rodin's most famous individual work The Kiss was not.
It is thought that Eternal Springtime's subject - the happiness of two young lovers - was ultimately assessed as being too jovial for the tragedy played out in The Gates of Hell.
Eternal Springtime was very successful and was translated several times into bronze and marble.
Other highlights of the Sotheby's sale included an important pointillist painting by Paul Signac.
The Port Houses, Saint-Trope sold for $10.7m (£7m). The painting depicts the French Riviera town of Saint-Tropez in 1882.
The painting had been in the same family for nearly 60 years.
The auction record for a Signac work is $14m, paid in 2007.
An early portrait of Claude Monet's wife Camille was also in Monday's auction and sold for $49.4m (£34m).
The most paid to date for a work by the French impressionist is $80.4m (£56m), set in June 2008 at Christie's in London for Le Bassin aux Nympheas,
John Yuill, 28, and Lamara Bell, 25, were found in a blue Renault Clio just off the M9 near Stirling on Wednesday.
The force later admitted they had been told about the crash on Sunday morning.
Ms Bell's family has told BBC Scotland they were angry and disgusted by the police's handling of the case.
They said Ms Bell was in a medically induced coma in hospital after suffering broken bones and kidney damage which was caused by dehydration.
Doctors at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow have described her condition as "critical".
Mr Yuill's father, Gordon Yuill, has told the Daily Record newspaper that his son's injuries were so severe that he would have died on impact after the Clio left the motorway and plunged down a tree-lined embankment.
But Andrew Bell, the father of Lamara, told STV News his daughter was conscious when found and had been speaking to firefighters.
He added: "She thought she had been there for 30 minutes."
Mr Bell also revealed that on Sunday morning he had unknowingly driven by the spot where his daughter was later found.
He added: "I went past the crash, not even 100 yards away from her. If anything happens I've got to tell myself that."
Mr Yuill and Ms Bell both had children of their own.
Scottish Justice Secretary Michael Matheson, who was speaking as the MSP for Falkirk West, said he wanted "early answers" about the tragedy, and that Police Scotland had assured him all relevant information would be passed on to investigators.
He told BBC Radio Scotland's John Beattie programme: "My understanding is that it appears that this car has come off the road at some point on Sunday and that a call was made to Police Scotland.
"And the call handler for some reason noted that information, but a crew was not dispatched to investigate the issue.
Mr Matheson added: "It's understandable that the families have many questions they want answers to. I want answers too on their behalf. Why was a crew not dispatched at the time when the initial call was received? Even then, why was there a gap of several days before police then investigated?
"I'm keen to ensure that this investigation is taken forward in a quick and very swift way."
Police could be seen on Thursday afternoon searching the area where the couple's car had eventually been found.
The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) is looking into the case, but there have been calls for a wider inquiry, with several politicians saying Police Scotland had serious questions to answer.
There had been an ongoing search for the couple in the area earlier this week, with police circulating photographs of the couple and their car after their families reported them missing on Sunday.
They had last been seen leaving Loch Earn in Stirlingshire in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A Pirc spokesman said the investigation into why the telephone call made to Police Scotland later that day, which reported their car was off the road, was not followed up.
He added: "The commissioner's investigation will also examine the robustness of Police Scotland's missing person inquiry and look at why that inquiry was not linked with the information received in the call."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said the government should review whether a "wider independent investigation" should be held, saying the couple had been "failed" by police.
He said: "Everyone agrees that a three day delay between the initial call to the control room and finding the couple is unacceptable and we need to establish why this happened.
"I know police officers have been deeply affected by this case. There is great upset within the force, and it is of such importance that serious questions must be answered.
"It is right that the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner is investigating the matter but that may not be enough - a wider independent investigation may be required."
Scottish Labour MSP Elaine Murray said: "Local Police control rooms across Scotland have been closed and the effectiveness of the 101 service has been called into question. It is essential that the Pirc inquiry investigates whether the new call centre arrangements led to the report of this tragic accident not being followed up."
Conservative MSP Murdo Fraser also said the "truly shocking incident" must be investigated in depth.
He added: "People lying unattended at the side of the road for days is something you'd be surprised to encounter in the third world."
The Iron Age coins, about the size of a thick modern penny, were minted by the Iceni tribe whose territories covered much of East Anglia.
Museum finds officer Adrian Marsden said the coins probably belonged to "a member of tribal hierarchy".
The Norwich Castle Museum hopes to acquire them for its collection.
"This number of coins is unusual," Mr Marsden said. "We did have a hoard of 82 from north-west Norfolk in the 1980s but 44 is certainly sizeable and more may turn up.
"Although these aren't the bright yellow gold of earlier Norfolk wolf staters (coins) they would have represented a fair amount of wealth... the person who buried these would have been someone of account.
"These coins get debased over time, so you get bright yellow buttery gold ones, then years later ones that are more coppery with a bit of silver," he added.
The Norfolk wolf coins were among a number of treasure items found by metal-detecting enthusiasts, featured at the Norfolk Coroner's Court.
23 November 1662
I hear to-day how old rich Audley is lately dead, and left a very great estate, and made a great many poor familys rich, not all to one.
The coroner also ruled on a gold mourning ring created to mark the passing of prominent money lender and Buckenham landowner Hugh Audley.
Measuring 23mm across the external diameter it features a stylised skull and black enamel, and was found in Carleton Rode.
"This one is interesting as we know who the chap is as he's mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diaries," said Mr Marsden.
"His name is inscribed on the inside of the band and we believe Audley's will gave instruction for the making of a few of these rings.
"We know that Audley was a very wealthy man so he could afford to have had quite a few of these dished out, probably a dozen or two."
"They were a way of marking your mourning and showing people you were bereaved."
Other items at the inquest included a hawking vervel from a "royal" hunt, a hoard of silver pennies from Edmund of East Anglia's reign and two sliver strap-ends, used for fastening clothes.
He was speaking in Belfast as his party launched an election billboard entitled: "A People's Pact".
The election advertisement which states that the party wants "equality not austerity" was unveiled at Belfast Castle.
Senior party figures and election candidates were present.
"Any parties which contemplate endorsing or supporting a cabinet of millionaires who are behind budget cuts, cuts to public services and cuts to social protections are ignoring the needs of the people in favour of narrow self interest," Mr Adams said.
The Louth TD said if local parties did a post-election deal to support larger parties at Westminster, they were effectively "signing up to austerity".
Even in the event of a hung parliament, he said that his party would not reverse its long-held policy of abstentionism.
Questioned over whether his party might be tempted to take their seats if it came to down to three or four seats, he said Sinn Féin would not reverse their position.
"All of this is a distraction," he said.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Adams said: "We are active abstentionists."
He stressed that there were no moves to discuss the party policy of boycotting the House of Commons chamber.
"The party is very settled on this issue," he said.
The party's billboard calls for voters to back candidates who embrace reconciliation, equality and progressive politics.
"We want to see a society based on equality, inclusion and safeguards for children with disabilities, adults with severe disabilities and the long-term sick," Mr Adams said.
"We are committed to defending the core public services of health, education and the welfare system."
He said that previous Conservative and Labour British governments had imposed cuts and he told the BBC that whoever won the general election would be "committed to more austerity".
Asked if he would choose between a Conservative government or a Labour administration, he rejected both options saying that in "the last 100 years very little good has come out of Westminster".
Lily Owsley gave GB the lead from close range but Kitty van Male equalised just before the break.
Helen Richardson-Walsh got the winner when she scored her 39th international goal after Giselle Ansley had a shot parried.
The teams will play the second Test on Thursday.
"It was a slightly disjointed but winning performance," said GB head coach Danny Kerry. "We can be better with the ball but we were defensively solid which won us the game.
"We're looking forward to 48 hours time when I feel we will have made some good adjustments to our game."
The announcement sent ructions through the retail sector, with Tesco shares sinking 5% and Sainsbury's down 4%.
Marks and Spencer, which also has a sizable food business, fell 2%.
Neil Wilson at ETX Capital said the deal was "yet another signal of the seismic shift in the market caused by the Amazon model".
Shares in Morrisons, the UK's fourth-largest supermarket chain which has its own tie-up with Amazon, fell sharply at first before recovering to close 1% higher.
"Whole Foods has just nine stores in the UK so the impact on Morrisons... should not be too significant, and if anything could support Morrisons if it signals how Amazon might be able to help it grow market share," Mr Wilson said.
The FTSE 100 share index closed up 44.18 points at 7,463.54.
Away from the retail sector, shares in Rolls-Royce rose 1.4% after the engineering group said it had made a good start to 2017, with "all businesses performing in line with expectations".
The company also revealed that the weakness of the pound was set to lift revenues by £400m and profits by £50m. The drop in the value of the pound since the Brexit vote means that Rolls-Royce's dollar earnings are worth more when converted back into sterling.
On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.2% against the dollar to $1.2787, but slipped 0.16% against the euro to 1.1424 euros.
James Craig, from Dunragit near Stranraer, is accused of tweeting false news designed to make share prices fall, so he could buy and resell shares for profit.
Fraudulent tweets were allegedly made about two firms by Mr Craig in 2013.
Prosecutors claim shareholders lost more than £1m as a result of his alleged tweets.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced it had filed securities fraud charges against Mr Craig in a federal court in California.
The tweets were about two companies, Audience and Sarepta Therapuetics.
Several tweets, suggesting Audience was under federal investigation, were said to cause the share price of the mobile audio company to fall 28% before the Nasdaq temporarily halted trading.
Further alleged tweets that claimed Sarepta Therapuetics was also subject to an investigation sent stock in the drug firm tumbling by 16%.
Prosecutors claimed shareholders had lost more than $1.6m (£1.05m).
Jina Choi, director of the SEC's San Francisco regional office, said the fraudulent tweets "disrupted the markets for two public companies and caused significant financial losses for their investors."
Formerly known as Caithness Heat and Power (Chap), the district heating scheme was run by a community-run enterprise to help tackle fuel poverty.
Highland Council later took over the running of it and spent £11.5m trying to make it work before scrapping it in 2009.
Now run by a private firm, the scheme provides heat to about 200 homes.
NHS Highland said the hospital would be supplied with "low-cost renewable energy" by the heating plant's operator Ignis.
Eric Green, the health board's head of estates, added: "Connection of Caithness General Hospital to the district heating produces the best combination of security of supply, cost and environmental benefit.
"Not only does the proposal from Ignis have the added advantage of being more efficient, and will therefore save us money, but it is also much more environmentally friendly and will reduce our carbon emissions."
Energy Minister Fergus Ewing welcomed the move.
He said: "When I visited the biomass energy centre in Wick, I was delighted to hear that almost 200 houses were seeing a significant reduction in their fuel bills after switching to the heat network."
Craig Ibbetson, of Ignis added: "We are delighted that NHS Highland has approved our proposal to connect Caithness General Hospital to the district heating scheme.
"We are looking forward to working with them, and believe that this is a good development for the NHS and Ignis, and the wider community in Wick."
Last year, Highland Council was criticised for its handling of Chap.
In a report for the Accounts Commission, Audit Scotland said a "lack of good governance" when Chap was affected by technological and financial problems led to an "expensive lesson" for the local authority.
Sciver, 22, shared a 122-run fifth-wicket partnership with Lydia Greenway (53) as England chased down 239 in the one-day international at Taunton.
An impressive 78 off 96 balls from Ellyse Perry helped the visitors to 238-9 after Katherine Brunt took 3-48.
England fell to 80-4 in response, before Sciver's highest ODI score handed the hosts victory.
Victory earned England two points, with a further 14 available from the remaining six games in the multi-format series.
The second of three ODIs takes place at Bristol on Thursday, after which the teams play one Test - worth four points to the winner - and three Twenty20 internationals.

Australia replaced Nicole Bolton with Jess Cameron after the opener was ruled out with concussion having been hit on the back of the head by Rene Farrell in the nets on Monday.
The visitors chose to bat first after winning the toss but England's three-pronged seam attack soon made inroads despite a batting-friendly pitch.
Brunt bowled consecutive wicket maidens to dismiss both of Australia's openers as Elyse Velani (18) chipped the ball off her legs straight to Edwards at square-leg before Jess Jonassen bottom-edged the ball into her stumps in the right-arm bowler's next over.
It took just four balls for Kate Cross to claim her first home Ashes wicket as she trapped Meg Lanning lbw to reduce the Southern Stars to 35-3.
However, a 121-run fourth-wicket partnership between Perry and Alex Blackwell helped rebuild their innings with both players earning reprieves through dropped chances.
Heather Knight's excellent run-out of Blackwell for 58 was the first of four in the match as superb fielding from England slowed Australia's push towards a score of 250.
Perry, who passed 1,000 ODI runs when she reached 27 in this innings, finally holed out to Sciver - who took a brilliant catch above her head - for 78 before Alyssa Healy hit a quick 29.
The Australia all-rounder ensure England's response got off to a poor start as she bowled Edwards via a bottom edge for 15.
Knight and Amy Jones fell cheaply, while Sarah Taylor made an entertaining 30 before Osborne (3-35) had her caught behind.
With the pressure on, Sciver and Greenway's relatively chanceless century partnership tested Lanning's captaincy as the 23-year-old regularly rotated her seamers and spinners - to no avail.
After both players fell having passed their half-centuries it was left to Georgia Elwiss (25 not out) to take England home.
"Mad" or "Black Friday" is one of the busiest nights of the year as it marks the start of the festive season for many who are finishing work.
A triage unit will be set up in Cardiff city centre, Swansea has a help point and Wrexham's welfare centre will open.
The Welsh Ambulance Service said it took 800 calls last year.
On a typical Friday night it receives about 630 calls.
"Parties and get-togethers are a big feature of this time of year which in turn puts pressure on ambulance crews and clinical contact centre staff," said Gordon Roberts, the trust's interim assistant director of operations.
"It's easy to forget how much alcohol you have consumed when you're enjoying yourself, but while we are dealing with alcohol-related incidents, we could be delayed in treating someone whose situation really is life or death.
"We are not killjoys but we are asking the public to drink responsibly and enjoy themselves safely."
Wales' four police forces have been carrying out a campaigns throughout the festive period.
South Wales Police said officers would have a "visible presence" in Swansea.
Supt Jane Banham of North Wales Police said: "We know from experience that at this time of year some people will come to harm due to alcohol excess and it is the emergency services and local councils who are left picking up the pieces.
"We make a significant contribution to keeping our town centres safe so people can enjoy a good night out.
"But we must get the message across that people need to take greater responsibility for themselves and their friends to reduce the likelihood of them being injured, becoming a victim of crime, or being involved in violence through excessive drinking."
O'Brien, 21, was airlifted to hospital after being injured when her mount Druid's Cross slipped and fell fatally during a race at Killarney.
The jockey, a daughter of star trainer Aidan O'Brien, also fractured cheek bones in the fall.
Druid's Cross was trained by the jockey's brother Joseph.
The injured jockey has a fractured C1 vertebra in her neck and T6 in her back, as well as fractured cheek bones bilaterally, but Dr Adrian McGoldrick, chief medical officer for the Irish Turf Club, was able to issue more positive news on Wednesday.
"She has had her MRI scans and Professor Paul Redmond, the head of department at Cork University Hospital, has looked at them and confirmed that she does not need surgery," said McGoldrick.
"They will continue to review her facial injuries."
McGoldrick added he expected O'Brien to be out for three to four months.
O'Brien secured her first race win in 2013 at 16 and rode for her father in this year's English Derby and Irish Derby.
The City of Edinboro was one of the last sailing trawlers, called smacks, to be built in Hull.
It was sold for £1 to a charitable trust based in Lowestoft where it currently sits under a giant plastic tent awaiting restoration.
The Excelsior Trust is seeking lottery funding to restore the ship and return it to Hull.
It was unable to say how much the planned restoration would cost, but the trust said the price of the oak timber was estimated at £500,000.
The 84ft (26m) long vessel was built in 1884. It fished in the North Sea and the North Atlantic and continued sailing until the mid-1990s.
Trust chairman Geoffrey Copeman said the vessel would require almost a complete rebuild.
"It would be a lasting token for the maritime heritage of Hull," he said.
"It's so worthwhile. She is in the wrong place here. She mustn't be allowed to lie here any longer. She really must be picked up and used."
Cybersecurity company Cyberint said it had discovered posts on a variety of dark web forums whose members had described the lender as being a "cash milking cow" and "easy to cash out".
It is not clear, however, whether there is any link between these claims and the money stolen just over a week ago.
The bank has repeatedly declined to give details of the crime.
It says it is unable to do so while a criminal investigation is being carried out.
Elsewhere, the Sunday Times suggested that the raid had involved the use of contactless payments triggered by smartphones.
And a second cybersecurity company said it had warned Tesco of problems with several of its mobile apps four months ago, but had been ignored.
The Financial Times was first to report that Cyberint had carried out its own probe of hidden web pages following the thefts over the weekend of 5-6 November.
The Israeli company said it had found discussions about a tool that "brute forced" access to Tesco's accounts by testing thousands of login and password combinations until one was found to work.
It said the bank had repeatedly taken steps to prevent such attacks, but the hackers had apparently bypassed the measures.
"It was a cat and mouse game, but we saw indicators starting from September - so two months before the actual attack - of quite a few threat actors saying, 'We've been successfully getting into accounts and cashing out through various means.'" Elad Ben-Meir, Cyberint's vice-president of marketing, told the BBC.
"This was on the AlphaBay forum, Hacking Forum and some lesser known places - and there was plenty of proof.
"One of the guys said, 'I used to cash out £1,000 every week without anyone ever noticing.'"
Mr Ben-Meir said his company had attempted to pitch for business with Tesco Bank earlier in the year, but the talks "didn't proceed anywhere".
Mobile app specialist Codified Security said it had not received any response when it had contacted the supermarket Tesco and its subsidiary Tesco Bank four months ago by email.
"We were doing research into mobile apps across the UK market and found some problems with various apps that they have and reached out to try and warn them," the London-based company's chief executive, Martin Alderson, told the BBC.
Mr Alderson is not making public what the flaws involved, but said Tesco Bank was not the only lender his company had contacted.
"The top tier banks are really good with their mobile security - so, NatWest, Barclays et cetera are fantastic," he said.
"But the second-tier banks and some of the financial tech companies can struggle with this.
"They are pressured to bring out a coherent mobile strategy because their customers are demanding it.
"But often I'm not sure they have the understanding of all the technical aspects to make them secure."
Mr Alderson said roughly half of the companies Codified Security wrote to never responded, so Tesco's handling of the matter was not unusual.
The bank has not officially commented on this, but a source at the company told the BBC: "Tesco Bank regularly receives promotional information from consultancies, but in all areas we have first-class colleagues working hard to serve our customers."
The Sunday Times says the attack was carried out by thieves using mobile phones that used stolen Tesco Bank data to set up contactless payment accounts.
It says fraudulent purchases of thousands of low-priced goods were made at Best Buy electronics stores in the US as well as other American and Brazilian retailers.
The paper does not credit a source for this information.
However, it might tie in to an alert from Europol two months ago that criminals had begun using Android phones to trigger fraudulent tap-and-go payments.
"The possibility of compromising NFC [near field communication] transactions was explored by academia years ago, and it appears that fraudsters have finally made progress in the area," the organisation's Internet Organised Crime Threat Assessment said.
"Several vendors in the dark net offer software that uploads compromised card data on to Android phones in order to make payments at any stores accepting NFC payments."
A spokesman for Tesco Bank said that "none of our systems were breached" and no personal data had been lost, but would not comment further.
The nominations processes, criteria and voting details (where applicable) for each award are outlined below.
This award goes to the sportsperson whose actions have most captured the UK public's imagination during 2016.
An expert panel (hereafter 'the Panel') will be convened in November 2016 to decide the shortlist of sportspeople for the main BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

The project on Brownsea Island aims to discover how the disease affects and is passed between native red squirrels.
Leprosy was first identified in red squirrels in Scotland in 2014.
Post-mortem examinations have since revealed it is also affecting the mammals on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour and on the Isle of Wight.
Researchers from the University of Edinburgh will work with the National Trust, which manages Brownsea Island, where about 200 red squirrels are found, and Dorset Wildlife Trust, which manages a nature reserve on the island.
Humane traps will be used to capture the squirrels for health checks, blood tests and other clinical samples before they are returned to the wild, researchers said.
Little is known about how the leprosy bacteria, which causes swelling and hair loss to the ears, muzzle and feet, is spread among red squirrels.
Carrying out the study on an island location will enable researchers to examine the impact of leprosy on the squirrels in a contained environment.
Lead researcher Prof Anna Meredith, from University of Edinburgh, said the disease appeared to have been in squirrel populations in Scotland and England's south coast "for some time", and added the research would aid conservationists in understanding how to control its spread.
The risk to humans from the disease is negligible and Brownsea Island will remain open to the public while the research is carried out, researchers said.

Her speech was circulated to committee members on Wednesday.
Last week, it emerged almost one million drink-driving tests recorded by police did not actually take place.
An Garda Síochána (Irish police) also admitted an error that caused almost 15,000 wrongful traffic convictions.
Commissioner O'Sullivan is to give evidence to the Oireachtas (parliamentary) Committee on Justice and Equality on Thursday.
She will face questions over revelations on fixed charge notices and breathalyser test figures.
At the weekend, Ms O'Sullivan said revelations over penalty points and breath test discrepancies are "unacceptable".
She said on Saturday that the police service was on a journey of radical reform and "it is inevitable that we will identify more examples of bad practice".
Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin of Sinn Féin, who chairs the Justice and Equality Committee, said members wanted assurances "that there can be no repeat of these outrageous facts".
On Tuesday, the government announced it was planning two separate investigations.
Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny announced an independent review of the overall operation of the force.
A second investigation will probe the wrongful convictions of almost 15,000 motorists, and apparent false data on breath tests.
Mr Kenny also said on Tuesday that the government continues to have confidence in Commissioner O'Sullivan.
She was already facing questions over her leadership because of allegations of a smear campaign against a whistleblower, Sgt Maurice McCabe.
Sgt McCabe was one of two officers who raised concerns years ago about the alleged deletion of penalty points from the driving licences of well-connected offenders.
Speaking during Leaders' Questions in the Dáil (parliament), Mr Kenny said of the independent review: "We continue to see a list of unacceptable revelations about the operation of An Garda Síochána.
"The government believes that the level of public concern is now so profound that it's now time to conduct a thorough, comprehensive and independent, root-and-branch review of An Garda Siochana."
Exact details of the independent review are to be outlined next week.
In the meantime, an external inquiry is being set up into the erroneous Garda statistics and prosecutions.
Separately, An Garda Síochána is to publish a report on financial irregularities at its training college.
The force's internal audit section examined financial transactions over a number of years at the college in Templemore, County Tipperary.
Its report revealed that money was being spent on gifts and entertainment, and identified a non-transparent system of accounting.
Commissioner O'Sullivan said that while the accounting practices would not be acceptable by today's standards, there was no misappropriation of money or misuse of public funds.
Tánaiste (deputy prime minister) Frances Fitzgerald told the Dáil on Tuesday that the report raises serious governance issues and will be referred to the Comptroller and Auditor General and the Public Accounts Committee.
The former Tottenham boss, 69, has agreed to oversee upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bangladesh and Australia.
Jordan must win them both to reach the third round of Asian qualifying for the 2018 finals in Russia.
"If we win them and everyone is happy I'd love to come back," said Redknapp.
"We have to make sure we win. At the moment it's two games but we'll look to the future after these two games. There's nothing I would like more than to be successful in these games."
Jordan, who have never qualified for a World Cup, are second in their group in the second of three phases of Asian qualifying.
Redknapp, who has also taken up an advisory role at Championship side Derby County, was approached by Jordan Football Association president Prince Ali bin Al Hussein earlier this month about taking charge of the side ranked 82nd in the world.
It is Redknapp's first managerial position since leaving Queens Park Rangers in January 2015.
"He is a world-class manager and he has proven that throughout his career," said former Fifa presidential hopeful Prince Ali.
"It is very rare you have people of this class. I spoke to many people but immediately it became evident Harry is the man for the job."
Dr Mark Porter, the British Medical Association's consultants chairman, said the mounting evidence about the problem meant it was time for doctors to put themselves forward if needed.
He said it would not be necessary for every speciality or hospital, but it needed to be looked at case-by-case.
There is a wealth of research into higher mortality rates at weekends.
At the end of last year, the research company Dr Foster found mortality rates rose by 10% at weekends. Other studies have shown similar correlations.
Staffing - and in particular the presence or absence of senior doctors - has been highlighted as a key factor.
At the moment consultant cover is commonplace in intensive care and A&E departments.
But in most other areas hospitals rely on consultants being on call, which means they give advice over the telephone and only come into hospital in emergencies.
Some trusts have started looking at changing normal working patterns, but Dr Porter said it needed to become much more common.
"It will need investment by trusts, but it also needs a willingness by doctors. That is the challenge for us.
"Consultants understandably feel like they have rightly got away from working weekends. They will have done that earlier in their career and are wanting to spend time with patients [during the week] providing really good care.
"But there is mounting evidence of an association between higher death rates and weekend care. We can't prove that it is a causal link, but we cannot ignore it either.
"It will be different for every speciality and every trust, but it is something that needs looking at."
He cited the example of his trust - the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire - which has started getting consultant anaesthetists to work 12-hour shifts on Saturdays and Sundays.
"It makes a difference having the consultant there rather than just on call," he added.
David Stout, of the NHS Confederation, which represents managers, said the BMA was right to suggest a greater consultant presence would help.
"Having a consultant on call is very different from having one there, overseeing what is being done and making decisions on the wards.
"The key question is how we afford this. Hospitals can't just employ more.
"It may be that we need to reconfigure services and do some of this care on fewer sites so we make sure we have the right cover. We have to put patients first."
Ministers are already known to be keen to address the issue - and are currently considering offering financial incentives to hospitals to improve weekend services.
NHS medical director Sir Bruce Keogh added: "Having more senior staff and consultants around at weekends is fundamental to the NHS shifting from a five-day-week to a seven-day-week.
"It will mean better support for junior doctors and key decisions - like what tests to run, what treatment to give and whether to operate - can be made more quickly."
Two-thirds of motorists asked in the RAC survey said they thought parking was pricier.
But the group representing councils said parking charges were not being used by authorities to raise money.
Two-thirds of drivers also thought spaces did not take into account new, wider cars with side-impact protection.
Following publication of the survey of 1,526 motorists, the RAC said that councils should make parking easier and cheaper.
The survey pointed to suggestions that some parking spaces that had been free now carried a fee.
The RAC accused local authorities of using parking charges as a means to fill gaps in their budgets, a suggestion that was denied by a council body.
"This 'report' further peddles the myth that councils are using parking charges to raise money. The reality is that the average motorist is paying 30 times more to Whitehall in charges and taxation every year than they do to their own town hall through parking," said a spokesman for the Local Government Association.
"Councils are on the side of hard-pressed motorists by keeping a lid on parking charges. They do not make a profit from parking. All income from charges and fines are spent on running parking services and any surplus goes on running essential transport projects such as bringing our dilapidated road network up to scratch."
There have been no inquests since two bombs exploded at the Mulberry Bush and the Tavern in the Town in November 1974, which also injured 182 people.
Human rights lawyer Kevin Winters said he will be writing to West Midlands Police and the relevant coroner.
Inquests would allow access to certain material never before disclosed.
Six men, later dubbed the Birmingham Six, were jailed in 1975 but their convictions were quashed in 1991.
Families of the victims have criticised police, accusing them of withholding information over the years and say 40 years on from the bombings they still do not have the answers they need.
Calls for a fresh investigation into what happened were denied by West Midlands Police in April.
Speaking exclusively to BBC Radio WM ahead of the 40th anniversary next week, Mr Winters, who has represented families of victims of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, said inquests would have been put off because of legal proceedings against the Six but "uniquely we now know the wrong people were put behind bars."
Brother and sister Julie and Brian Hambleton, who lost their sister Maxine in the bombings, have been leading a campaign to try to find out more about what happened.
Ms Hambleton, who met Mr Winters this week to ask him to represent them, said she does not understand why inquests have never been held, even after 1991.
"Why hasn't anyone stepped up before now and said anything?," Ms Hambleton said.
As well as establishing inquest hearings, Mr Winters said he would be pursuing several others avenues of action.
This may include action against authorities under European Human Rights legislation, looking at "serious issues" about the previous flawed West Midlands Police investigation and within that "the deliberate peddling of the view that they had caught the perpetrators".
"There's an on-going duty on behalf of the authorities, and especially West Midlands Police, to actually get to the bottom of what happened," Mr Winters said.
"These families have received a very poor service in terms of justice and truth and closure - they've got nothing near it at all."
He said the families also had no recourse to remedies available to those affected by the Troubles in Ireland.
Inquests would provide families with access to certain "disclosure materials" that he said had been kept from them.
"In my view, and our view, there is a basis for an inquest and we're now going to be writing to West Midlands Police and the relevant coronial services in England through our agencies in London to invite a new inquest."
In response, Chief Constable Chris Sims said: "Nothing would give me more satisfaction than to bring those responsible for this atrocity to justice.
"However, we have found no new evidence that would assist us in bringing anyone to justice for the pub bombings.
"It is always possible that brand new and significant information could become available to us.
"Let me be clear - this case is not closed."
The statistics are contained in the Scottish Health Survey for 2014.
They suggest a 1% decrease for adults and just a 1% increase for children meeting the government's recommended guidelines for exercise.
Only 4% of those questioned said they were thinking about doing more sport as a result of the Glasgow Games.
Low activity is the second biggest cause of mortality in Scotland and contributes to about 2,500 deaths each year.
The 2014 Commonwealth Games were held in Glasgow last summer with much made of the legacy and lasting impact the event would have on people across Scotland.
It was one of the key promises made by organisers - that Glasgow 2014 would inspire the nation to become more active.
The Scottish Health Survey - an annual snapshot of the nation's state of health - asked those taking part about the impact of the Games on their attitudes to sport and exercise.
About one in 20 adults (6%) said that they were more interested in sport and physical activity as a result of the Games, with 4% saying they were thinking about doing more physical activity.
The survey found that in 2014, 63% of adults took part in the recommended 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, compared with 64% the previous year.
Just over three quarters (76%) of children met the guidelines of 60 minutes of activity each day (that included school-based activities).
The health survey looked at what people see as being the main barriers to playing more sport.
Those who had not played sport in the last month gave reasons including poor health (35%), lack of time (32%), and a lack of interest (17%).
Diarmid Campbell-Jack, research director at ScotCen Social Research which carried out the survey, said: "We have only seen very small proportions of adults in Scotland claiming that the Commonwealth Games had influenced, changed their attitudes to, or increased their participation in, sport.
"We know from elsewhere in the Scottish Health Survey that poor health, a lack of time, and lack of interest are the main barriers people mention when asked why they hadn't taken part in sport recently - this suggests a wide range of issues need to continue to be considered when addressing this issue."
Prof Nanette Mutrie, director of physical activity for the Health Research Centre at Edinburgh University, said the figures were "disappointing" but that it was maybe too early to judge the impact of the Games.
She said: "We thought Scotland's approach of having a legacy at the forefront of the Commonwealth Games would have made a difference, but no country has seen an upturn in participation levels on the back of a major sporting event.
"We do have a long-term strategy in Scotland that has been in place since 2003, we have a national walking strategy and almost 100% of schools now have two hours of PE and so we may not see the benefits for the next five years."
An emergency alert is in place for Northcliffe in the south-west of the state and most residents have been evacuated.
Another huge bushfire is raging further north at Boddington, 120km (74 miles) south-east of Perth.
Wind and dry weather have helped the flames to spread and satellite images show palls of smoke over the region.
Western Australia's Emergency Services Minister Joe Francis said the fire threatening Northcliffe was "the biggest in decades" in the state.
"Even if we get lucky with the weather, this is a fire that is going to take days and days - if not weeks - to finally extinguish and get under control," he said, quoted by the West Australian.
The bushfire has a perimeter of 220km (137 miles) and has been burning for six days.
Reports said some properties on the edge of the town had already been lost to the flames.
It is feared that if the fire eventually engulfs Northcliffe it will then threaten the larger town of Pemberton.
Resources are being stretched by the fire near Boddington, which has reportedly jumped containment lines and is putting homes under threat.
Patients at Boddington hospital have been relocated and smoke and ash is said to be falling on the nearby town of Collie.
The blaze is believed to have been sparked by a lightning strike last Saturday.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has offered government support to help tackle the fires and the army has been called in to put up temporary accommodation for firefighters.
Falcons have handed debuts to a number of players including Callum Chick and Brett Connon across the different competitions so far this season.
Injuries to key personnel such as Sonatane Takulua and Sinoti Sinoti have given opportunities to fringe players.
"We're not afraid to drop them in if need be," Richards told BBC Newcastle.
"We've said all along we want to give guys the exposure, although sometimes it's difficult to find that opportunity."
The return of winger Vereniki Goneva from a hamstring injury has been a boost for the Falcons, notably in Friday's 22-16 win against Northampton Saints.
Fijian winger Goneva picked off a pass, racing the length of the field to score and seal the points for Richards' side.
"It's no wonder people regard him as one of the best finishers in the world," Richards said.
"The way he took the try at the end, he didn't break step when Ben Foden came across, he stepped inside him on a half tackle at the same speed and finished off he's an outstanding finisher and a really good player."
So far only 14 people are known to have survived, including several pulled out by divers from inside the hull, long after the ship overturned. They and their rescuers have been speaking about their ordeal.
Zhang Hui was rescued on Tuesday after floating for 10 hours clinging to a life jacket.
The 43-year-old worked for Xiehe Travel and was accompanying retirees who, like most of those on board, had booked their package tour with the company.
He told the Xinhua state news agency that he was in his room at around 9.20pm when a storm hit and he felt the boat tilt. "It was tilting very badly, maybe at around a 45-degree angle," he said.
The boat capsized "incredibly fast", he said. He and his colleague grabbed life jackets and floated to the nearest window to escape. By this time, the water was up to their necks.
He spent the night in the river as the storm continued to rage, struggling to keep afloat as waves swamped him four times. A passing ship failed to spot him.
"I told myself, I just needed to hold on and everything would be okay," he said.
Dawn broke, and Mr Zhang made it to the shoreline. He staggered to the nearest jetty where he received help.
Ship crew member Chen Shuhan was stuck in an air pocket when the ship capsized. The 21-year-old was found by rescue diver Guan Dong on Tuesday.
"The bottom of the ship had a layer of air cushion, which was 1.5 to 2m thick. The victim was sitting on a water pipe in the upside down ship bottom," Mr Guan told China Central Television (CCTV).
Mr Guan gave Mr Chen his specialised equipment to ascend, accompanied by other divers, and was himself left with equipment meant for shallow dives. He was swept by undercurrents to even deeper depths.
With air in his tank running out, Mr Guan decided to rapidly swim to the surface from 30m below. He emerged with reddened eyes, ringing ears, and a severe nosebleed.
Mr Guan had earlier found 65-year-old Zhu Hongmei in another air pocket, taught her how to use diving equipment, and took her to the surface.
Local media splashed Mr Guan's pictures online, while netizens lauded his bravery. "He's both handsome and kind," said Weibo user Meibaba.
But the Chinese public was more reserved on the Eastern Star's captain and chief engineer, whose names have not been released to the media.
The two were rescued on Monday night. The captain was dragged out of the water just before midnight.
They claimed that the ship ran into difficulties after it hit a cyclone. The two have since been detained by police for questioning.
Relatives of passengers and others online have questioned why the two were able to escape the ship so swiftly, and why the ship had not issued a rescue alert.
"Why didn't the captain raise the alarm the moment the ship began to run into difficulties?" wrote Weibo user Airisland123.
Meanwhile the captain of a freighter that passed Eastern Star shortly before it capsized told Xinhua that he experienced fog-like conditions and that the rain interfered with his radar "so you couldn't make anything out".
He said the weather was so bad that at around 9.30pm - the time when Eastern Star capsized - Mr Li had to anchor his ship on the north shore.
Forty minutes later, he heard people crying out for help, and spotted at least one person in the river clutching a life ring. "The rain was just too heavy, there was no way to mount a rescue, so I shouted over 'Swim to the bank!'," he said.
Aymeric Sarrazin, 31, continued to rape the drunk woman after she woke up in her Meadowbank flat and told him "no".
The victim was left with a bite mark and bleeding after the assault at her then home.
Sarrazin had denied raping the woman on 25 July 2015 while she was intoxicated and asleep and continuing the assault after she told him no.
However, a jury at the High Court in Edinburgh convicted him of the offence on a majority verdict.
The woman told the court she remembered opening her eyes and found Sarrazin, from Bourg-La-Reine in France, on top of her having sex with her.
She said she was in shock and lay terrified and that her attacker moved her limbs "like a puppet".
Advocate depute Iain McSporran told jurors: "The Crown case is that she was incapable of consenting to sex with the accused because of the effects of alcohol and in particular she was asleep or unconscious through the effects of alcohol."
The prosecutor said he continued to rape her even after she awoke despite her protests, using force and strength to overcome her protests.
She had met up with a female workmate and was drinking at a flat in the city before they went out in the company of Sarrazin and others to bars in the Cowgate area.
The colleague told the court that she was concerned for the woman and said: "She needed to stop drinking. I would say she was probably slightly more drunk than I was."
The two women and Sarrazin and a friend got a taxi and the workmate said she was going to the victim's flat to make sure she got home. They all went up to the flat.
"My thought was just to get her in. Get her settled. Get her into bed. Make sure everything was off and leave her," she said.
She said the woman had said not to go on her account and to stay. She said music was put on and she was in the living room with the other man. She thought Sarrazin had "crashed out" on the woman's bed.
Sarrazin claimed to police that he had asked the woman if he could sleep with her and she said yes but then changed her mind.
He told police that at no point did she tell him to stop and added: "For me, she was conscious."
But Mr McSporran told the court that Sarrazin had taken advantage of a younger woman after they had just met.
First offender Sarrazin, who had been on bail during his trial, was remanded in custody after he was found guilty of the offence.
The judge, Lord Kinclaven, deferred sentence on the rapist for the preparation of a background report. Sarrazin will be sentenced next month at the High Court in Glasgow.
He was placed on the sex offenders' register.
An Olympic gold medallist, he was also three-time world heavyweight champion and took part in some of the most memorable fights in boxing history.

While the 4-0 defeat in India won't unleash the investigations, reviews and upheaval of an Ashes humiliation, it could well lead to a change of captain.
But the question over Alastair Cook's future is relatively straightforward. He either stays or goes. Joe Root takes over, or he doesn't.
A much bigger issue for England is how a team including Cook, Root, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, James Anderson and Stuart Broad, who can all rightly be considered as amongst the best in the world in what they do, can be so consistently inconsistent, so prone to collapse and so likely to be on the wrong end of a thumping loss.
With a tour of Australia now less than a year away, these are the real questions facing the England team.
England waited four years to find an opening partner for Cook, then two came along at once.
Amongst the few positives of the tour of India was the emergence of Haseeb Hameed and Keaton Jennings, who both impressed at the top of the order.
For 19-year-old Hameed, only the second teenager to debut for England since 1949, an unflappable temperament and technique with no obvious flaws seems ideally suited to opening the batting. The impressiveness of an 82 on debut was only surpassed by 59 not out made with a broken finger in his third Test.
When left-hander Jennings arrived as a replacement, he made a century on debut and followed up with 54 in the final Test. His minimal-movement style has drawn comparisons with Marcus Trescothick, though there are signs he could struggle with deliveries pushed full outside the off stump.
The smart money is on Hameed returning to open, with Jennings moving to three and Root returning to number four.
However, England will know that early success is no guarantee of a long future as a Test opener. Of the nine other partners tried alongside Cook since Andrew Strauss retired, both Sam Robson and Adam Lyth made centuries in their second Tests, only to fall away and be discarded.
"I'd give Jennings a six out of 10 chance of having a long Test career and an eight to Hameed," said former England spinner Vic Marks on Test Match Special. "There is a fair chance Jennings could be a substantial England player, but I'd put Hameed above him."
England's selection came in for criticism on the tour of Bangladesh and India, not only for the XIs to take the field, but a squad that left some members as drinks waiters and tourists.
The form of Gary Ballance and Ben Duckett meant wicketkeeper Jos Buttler had to play as a specialist batsman, Steven Finn spent two months in India without getting a game and the omission of Somerset left-arm spinner Jack Leach was only explained by leaked information about concerns over his action.
England director of cricket Andrew Strauss opted not to to break-up the selection panel of James Whitaker, Mick Newell and Angus Fraser when he took charge in 2015, but further questions over the selection process were raised during a row over Anderson's fitness in the summer of 2016.
The situation is complicated by the fact that coach Trevor Bayliss, an Australian, has no great knowledge of the English domestic game to fall back on and little time for scouting. He regularly admits to not having seen new call-ups play before.
Could Bayliss take time away from the national side during limited-overs matches to watch more county cricket? Could Cook, who will play Championship cricket for the first half of the summer, be used as a scout? And what is the role of Andy Flower, the former England coach who now is in charge of the Lions?
"Scouting and selection is under-rated, and sitting there in a tracksuit at the ground is possibly over-rated," said TMS commentator and former England batsman Ed Smith. "The biggest issue on this tour has been selection - and one of the problems at the moment is that it's unclear where selection comes from."
Individually, all of the regular members of England's top order can rightly think they have had a reasonable, if not stellar, winter.
Of the five men that batted in the top seven in all seven Tests - Cook, Root, Moeen Ali, Stokes and Bairstow - Cook's average of 32 is the lowest.
But, collectively, England are simply too prone to collapsing in a heap. On three occasions in Bangladesh and India they lost all 10 wickets for 104 runs or fewer.
"It's like dominoes going down," said former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott. "You push one and they all go down."
Linked to this is England's habit of losing by a huge margin.
Of the 12 defeats suffered in Bayliss' 26 matches in charge, three have been been by an innings, three more have been by more than 200 runs and another two by eight or more wickets.
"One week England will play to a level where you think they are on a pathway to becoming very good," said former England captain Michael Vaughan on BBC Radio 5 live. "The next week they get hammered.
"I think this set of England players have a mental weakness in Test cricket."
If England have stumbled upon a top four for the summer, then that leaves a vacancy at five.
The temptation would be to ask wicketkeeper Bairstow, so prolific with the bat in 2016, to keep the role he filled in the second half of the India tour, with Stokes at six, Buttler at seven and Moeen at eight.
However, Bairstow's career batting average at number five - 30.06 - is much lower than when he bats at six (45.91) or seven (46.50).
Even in his breakout year, where he is second only to Root on the list of global runscorers, Bairstow has performed much better at six and seven than he has at five.
As for the idea of taking the gloves off Bairstow to allow him to focus on his batting, consider this. Over his Test career, his batting average as a keeper (50.96) is almost twice as good as when he doesn't have the gloves (28.96).
The statistics suggest England would be better to have Stokes at six, Bairstow at seven and find a specialist to bat at five. If that position is deemed too heady for Buttler, then Essex's Tom Westley and Worcestershire's Joe Clarke are candidates from the current Lions squad.
"England need another batsman at five," said Boycott. "All the business with playing an all-rounder or the wicketkeeper there is rubbish.
"They need five proper batsmen - that's what India did to them."
There may, however, be a candidate in the current side...
This is not to question Moeen's place in the side, rather the job he is being asked to do.
The Worcestershire man was given his opportunity at Test level primarily because of his off-spin bowling. Although he was really only a batsman who bowled, his natural ability as a spin bowler saw him preferred over more experienced candidates.
Even though he was learning on the job, Moeen initially prospered. However, over the course of his 37 Tests, his bowling has become less, rather than more effective. In 2014 his Test bowling average was 28. In 2015 that climbed to almost 40 and, over 2016, he has taken his wickets at a cost of 53 apiece.
Bayliss admitted that England were looking at Moeen as their second spinner at the beginning of the winter. By the end, he had slipped to third behind Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson.
Therefore is it time for Moeen, whose four Test centuries are more than any other England player in 2016, to be selected and judged on his batting alone?
Like Bairstow, he has been shunted around the order, occupying every position between one and nine, but Moeen actually averages more at four or five than he does in his most frequent spot of number eight.
Moving Moeen would give England space for a specialist spinner, retaining him would give a back-up bowling option and more responsibility at number five may go some way to eradicating the kind aberration that saw him play an awful stroke on the fifth day of the final Test.
"Moeen is a wonderful player with a gift to play cricket," said Vaughan. "But he needs something different going on between the ears, to think better about it.
England were not expected to win in India, but the ordeal once again exposed eternal failings in the batting against and bowling of spin.
Their most famous recent series win in Asia, the 2-1 triumph over India in 2012, was built on the runs of Cook and Kevin Pietersen, along with the world-class spin of Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar.
Since Pietersen, Swann and Panesar last featured for England, they have played 10 Tests in Asia and won only once, losing seven. Replacements for high-quality spinners and players of slow bowling have not been found.
Finding spinners from a domestic game that often mistrusts them has long been difficult for England, but new rules on the toss in the County Championship helped Leach and Middlesex's Ollie Rayner prosper in 2016.
As for the likes of Root, Bairstow, Moeen and Stokes, the talent to become a successful player of spin exists, but a change in attitude may be required.
"They just have to keep their wickets intact, to keep batting," said Boycott. "But they can't stop scoring runs because they are frightened to death of defending - they are absolutely rubbish at it.
"They do not know how to play the turning ball. It demands a different type of concentration, temperament and mental application."
England have two years to get it right. Their next trip to the subcontinent is a tour of Sri Lanka in 2018.
The Cairngorm, Glencoe and Lochaber teams said they had lost faith in Scottish Mountain Rescue (SMR) as their representative body.
The three teams believe there has been a shift away from mountain rescue to urban work and community support.
An SMR spokesman said mountain rescue remained its "primary focus".
The organisation's acting chairman, Steve Penny, told BBC Scotland the three teams' decision would have no impact on rescue provision as every team was a charity in its own right.
The Cairngorm, Glencoe and Lochaber teams wish to remain affiliated with SMR but would no longer be full voting members.
The decision on whether they can remain affiliated is up to the other 24 rescue teams that are members of SMR - an organisation founded in 1965 to represent and co-ordinate mountain rescue in Scotland.
It will also require a change to the SMR's constitution, which currently states that non-voting members cannot be considered mountain rescue teams.
The body distributes the £312,000 mountain rescue grant from the Scottish government which is divided up between the teams.
Miller Harris - the spokesman for the Cairngorm, Glencoe and Lochaber teams - said he accepted that losing voting rights would mean they would no longer have as much of a say in national issues, including the government grant.
He told the BBC: "All the hassle that goes with a strategic organisation is not worth it with the amount of money that filters down. We're just fighting for crumbs."
Mr Harris is secretary of the Lochaber team which currently receives the largest grant - worth £24,000 a year - and is the busiest team, with 130 rescues in 2015.
The three teams believe SMR no longer represents them, saying it is now concerned more with supporting police in urban searches and providing community resilience support.
"I have the utmost respect for the recent work done by teams during flooding in Hawick and Lockerbie," Mr Harris said.
"It's a fantastic service, but it's not what we do. What I can offer is 20-plus years of experience at the sharp end on Ben Nevis."
He added: "We deliver a world class mountain rescue service at virtually no cost to the public purse. We just want to get on with that.
"None of this will make one jot of difference to what we do and how we deliver it. All three teams will continue to offer their resources."
The decision by the three teams to withdraw as full voting members of SMR came about after a proposal by them to split the body into "Scottish Search and Rescue" and "Scottish Mountain Rescue" groups was rejected.
Members of other teams in Scotland told the BBC privately they were "shocked" and "baffled" at the decision.
And the leader of Ochils MRT, Kevin Mitchell, said "strenuous" efforts had been made to persuade them to stay.
"From my point of view, I'd like to think that we can engage in further dialogue to keep the status quo," he said.
The Glencoe, Lochaber and Cairngorm teams officially remain members of SMR until 1 April but have withdrawn from any discussion about their decision to leave.
Mr Penny, SMR's acting chairman, said mountain rescue remained the primary concern of his organisation and all teams in Scotland, despite many getting involved in other activities.
"I don't believe that there's a team in Scotland who would not turn out to support local communities if asked," he said.
"It would be wrong to say we wouldn't use our skills and equipment to support them. Teams have evolved into their areas to support local communities in lots of different ways."
Mr Penny, a member of the Tweed Valley team, denied there was a "split" in the organisation and said he wanted to use the issue to work out how the SMR should "face the next 50 years".
"We would not want to exclude [the three teams] in any way. Mountain rescue is a community and to pretend these teams don't do mountain rescue would be daft. We all just want to save lives," he added.
"It's just a question of working out what the structure of the organisation is moving forward."

As police hunt for 27-year-old Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, we look at this order, otherwise known as a TPim, to find out what it involves and what people think of it.
What are TPims?
They are Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures, to give them their proper name. They are placed on terror suspects - who officials decide can neither be charged nor deported - by the home secretary.
The home secretary can consider putting a TPim in place after an MI5 assessment of the suspect and must "reasonably believe" he or she is involved in terrorist-related activities.
The measures include electronic tagging, reporting regularly to the police and facing "tightly defined exclusion from particular places and the prevention of travel overseas". A suspect must live at home and stay there overnight - possibly for up to 10 hours. However, they can apply to the courts to stay elsewhere. The suspect is allowed to use a mobile phone and the internet, to work and study, subject to conditions.
TPims expire after a maximum of two years unless new evidence emerges of involvement in terrorism. Breach of a TPim can lead to jail.
How many people are subject to them?
As of August, nine men - eight of them British - were under TPim surveillance.
In 2012, TPims' first year in use, 10 men - nine of them British nationals - were under TPims. Four of them had previously been charged with terrorism offences and acquitted by a jury.
Are the suspects always identified?
No. The courts will usually impose an anonymity order banning the naming of the suspect to protect the individual. However, Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed can be named after the order was lifted to allow police to make a public appeal for information on his whereabouts.
When was the system introduced?
January 2012
What did it replace?
The controversial control orders.
The measures, introduced in 2005, were much more restrictive - suspects could be relocated to a town far from their home, face 16-hour curfews and be banned from meeting named individuals and using mobile phones and the internet. As with TPims, they were ordered to wear electronic tags and report regularly to the police.
Critics considered control orders unfair and Kafkaesque.
Do TPims work?
Critics say they are too loose - "control orders-lite", as they were dubbed when they were introduced.
This latest disappearance is the second in less than two years. On Boxing Day 2012, Ibrahim Magag vanished after reportedly hiring a black cab. He has not been seen since.
Some also doubt the robustness of the electronic tags. Last week, prosecutions against three men, accused of tampering with their tags, were dropped when it emerged they might have inadvertently come loose.
There is also the wider question of how the police and MI5 will monitor suspects once the TPims expire after two years.
In the first official evaluation of the TPim, in March this year, David Anderson, a senior lawyer, said the government needed a higher standard of proof of threat before it applied to the courts for an order.
Mr Anderson, the government's independent reviewer of terror legislation, also said the Home Office needed to do more to develop what he called "exit strategies" for the terror suspects, to try to change their behaviour.
Ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp is first choice to take over.
Rodgers was dismissed after Sunday's 1-1 draw at Everton, which left the Reds 10th in the Premier League, but the decision was made before the game.
"Although this has been a difficult decision, we believe it provides us with the best opportunity for success on the pitch," read a club statement.
Former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti and Ajax boss Frank de Boer have also been linked with the Liverpool job in recent weeks.
"The search for a new manager is under way and we hope to make an appointment in a decisive and timely manner," added the statement.
Liverpool have won only four of their 11 games in all competitions this season, including victory on penalties against League Two Carlisle at home in the Capital One Cup.
Northern Irishman Rodgers, who took over in June 2012, led Liverpool to second place in the Premier League in 2013-14. They were top of the table with three games remaining, before losing out to Manchester City.
His departure came on the day when Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat resigned.
Liverpool are owned by Fenway Sports Group and a joint statement from principal owner John W Henry, chairman Tom Werner and president Mike Gordon said: "We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Brendan Rodgers for the significant contribution he has made to the club and express our gratitude for his hard work and commitment.
"All of us have experienced some wonderful moments with Brendan as manager and we are confident he will enjoy a long career in the game.
"Ambition and winning are at the heart of what we want to bring to Liverpool and we believe this change gives us the best opportunity to deliver it."

Rodgers said this week that he was "not worried" about the possibility of the sack, despite Liverpool's poor start to the season.
After the draw with Everton, he spoke of a "constant rebuilding" job and highlighted the impact of losing "four real catalysts" of his side.
Jamie Carragher, Luis Suarez, Raheem Sterling and Steven Gerrard have left Liverpool during Rodgers's tenure.
Liverpool reached the FA Cup semi-finals last season but won only one of their final six league games, including a 6-1 hammering at Stoke in the final match.
Rodgers is the first Liverpool manager since the 1950s not to win a trophy in his first three seasons. He finished seventh, second and sixth in the Premier League.
Liverpool spent about £80m in the summer as Rodgers signed Christian Benteke, Danny Ings, Roberto Firmino, Nathaniel Clyne and Joe Gomez.
BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty: "The mood of Brendan Rodgers shortly before he was sacked as Liverpool manager was in keeping with his demeanour this season. Rodgers insisted he was not feeling pressure and fired off a few salvoes of self-defence, insisting Liverpool would improve in the months ahead.
"And yet, as there has been all season, there was a sense a spark was missing from a young manager who exuded positivity from the moment he walked into Anfield in the summer of 2012. It was almost as if he was on auto-pilot, not as a manager but with the media.
"Rodgers looked tired and drawn, perhaps easy to say with hindsight, but actually did not give the impression he knew what was coming in the next hour.
"He drew a deep breath as he left his final inquisition as Liverpool manager - walking out of the door at Goodison Park and within an hour out of the door at Anfield."
Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer on MOTD2:
"No-one wants to see a manager get sacked but the bar was set when the owners sacked Kenny Dalglish for finishing eighth, getting into two cup finals and winning one of them. From there to now I don't really see much progression.
"Looking from the outside now, I don't seen an identity, I don't see who their best players are, what the plan is or what the best system is. So from that point of view I was pretty confused.
"From the beginning of this season, with his two coaches going I thought Brendan was a dead man walking. As soon as he was going to have a bad run I felt the inevitable would happen."
Former England striker and BBC Radio 5 live 606 host Ian Wright:
"I am shocked. He was meant to be the new kid on the block but he had run out of time.
"It is unfortunate for him but I don't think Liverpool owed him that time. They gave him a lot of money to spend.
"The club are nowhere near where they want to be. A club of Liverpool's size do not need to answer to anyone."
Former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports:
"Rodgers can't argue in some ways. He's been there three years, he hasn't won a trophy and they've played Champions League football once. That's not good enough for Liverpool.
"Liverpool are becoming Tottenham. They think they are a big club but the real big clubs aren't concerned about what they do. What are these owners going to do to get the club back to where it needs to be?"
Swansea manager Garry Monk, who played under Rodgers at the Liberty Stadium:
"I cannot believe it. I don't understand it. It is a very harsh decision and he did not deserve that at all.
"He is a top manager. You do not know what happens behind closed doors. I am not sure who would do a better job at Liverpool.
"He will bounce back. He was so supportive to me, giving me advice when I got the job [at Swansea]. He is a top man and a top manager."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger:
"I'm always sad when that happens as I think he is a quality manager. Unfortunately the pressure is always bigger on the managers.
"He was very unlucky to not win the Premier League. He was closest certainly to winning the Premier League of all the managers that have been working for the club, but that is the way it goes now and I wish him good luck. I'm sure he will find a job again."
The sacking of ratings juggernaut Bill O'Reilly last month was the most significant departure in the modern history of American cable news. Except that is, for the departure of his boss Roger Ailes last year.
These two monumental media events - the first, a dismissal of the biggest talent on America's most influential news service; the second, a dismissal of the most influential man in American news media (after his boss, Rupert Murdoch) - have now been followed by another remarkable departure: that of Bill Shine, who ran Fox News with Ailes for two decades, and was appointed co-president to sort the mess out.
Three huge departures within nine months. There is now chatter that Sean Hannity, the senior anchor who tweeted last week that Fox News would be finished without Shine, could be the next to go.
What is going on? And could this affect UK communications regulator Ofcom's forthcoming judgement on whether to reject the Murdoch family's bid for the 61% of broadcaster Sky they don't own?
That is certainly the hope of the cross-party group of MPs who have been lobbying Ofcom, and who would rather not see the Murdochs consolidate their power here in the UK. Interestingly, former business secretary Sir Vince Cable said on BBC Radio 4's World at One that Ofcom told him they were in listening mode. And there is certainly a lot of noise emanating from Fox News HQ in Manhattan right now.
There is a palpable fear in New York that the sexual harassment scandal which has toppled Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly could be an American version of the phone hacking scandal that dogged Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers. The echoes are eerie.
First, there is the instinctive blame on one rogue individual. Fox insiders have generally blamed the dominant, strongman personality of Roger Ailes for what went wrong, saying that with his departure the culture would improve. This sounds familiar to those who remember the initial claim that phone hacking was conducted by "one rogue reporter".
Second, there are the wider questions about a corporate culture. I don't mean by this whether or not Fox News leans to the right. I mean whether or not it is well run. Shine, who we're told resigned over the weekend, wasn't accused of sexual or racial harassment himself; but he was accused by multiple individuals of knowing plenty about the behaviour of his boss, and failing to act appropriately.
Third, and related, there are the legal investigations now under way: not one, but two. The bigger one is a federal probe looking at whether or not Fox withheld settlement payments over sexual harassment from investors.
And fourth, and worst of all for the Murdochs, there is the time. The phone hacking scandal derailed their last attempt to acquire the part of Sky which they don't already own. Now, with Ofcom's assessment of their latest takeover bid in the long grass until after the UK general election on 8 June, this huge scandal threatens to generate all the wrong headlines. The timing couldn't be worse.
For all that, it is important to note that Fox's ratings haven't suffered, and the advertising boycott that followed the revelations around O'Reilly - who strenuously denies he's done anything wrong, and is now forging a fresh career as a podcaster - hasn't yet dented Fox revenues in a really significant way.
Moreover, Fox has moved swiftly and decisively in removing toxic individuals, in a way that shows they are extremely alert to potential reputational and commercial damage. It really was unimaginable this time last year that Fox News could exist without Ailes, let alone O'Reilly and even Megyn Kelly, who is probably America's most sought after female anchor, and left the network a few months ago.
The dominant narrative in American media is that these moves show Rupert's sons, James and Lachlan, imposing their worldview on their father's media giant by decisively rejecting the orthodoxies of his reign.
In conversations with seasoned observers of Planet Murdoch, individuals at 21st Century Fox, and opponents of that company's bid for the 61% of Sky it doesn't already own, that narrative finds plenty of support.
That both Ailes and O'Reilly have gone does give credence to the idea that Fox News is being reconfigured by its parent company, 21st Century Fox, where Executive Chairman Lachlan, and CEO James - who are of equal status - want change. Since they acquired this joint status in June 2015, these two have made a concerted effort to modernise their father's firm.
They have held regular town hall meetings with staff, extended parental leave, and made a habit of sending memos to staff - whether groups or individuals - saying well done: a pillar of right-on modern management.
More importantly, they have appointed several women to key roles, from Stacey Snider (in charge of 20th Century Fox film studio) to Courteney Monroe (CEO of National Geographic, a particular passion for James). The entertainment division of 21st Century Fox has several women in key executive roles, from Elizabeth Gabler and Nancy Utley to Emma Watts and Vanessa Morrison.
Fox insiders are frustrated that the strides made in equality in the entertainment division garner much less publicity than the misdeeds of senior men in the (much smaller and less profitable) news division.
With commercial titans like Chase Carey, Peter Chernin, and now Ailes out of the picture, and James and Lachlan in the ascendant, there is a sense of a new broom at the company.
But Rupert still rules the roost. I would urge caution on those who argue that his grip is weakening. Not only was he, as you'd expect, ultimately responsible for the decisions to remove Ailes, Shine and O'Reilly; not only did he install himself as the temporary but very hands-on chairman of Fox News after Ailes left; but the idea that there was a battle of wills between father and sons, who outnumbered and outfoxed their father, is fanciful.
It is worth bearing in mind how much Rupert would have hated the New York Times felling of O'Reilly. It was their brilliant investigation that revealed the payments made to complainants against O'Reilly, causing a boycott by dozens of advertisers. Murdoch senior coveted the Grey Lady for many years, and paid a huge price for the Wall Street Journal partly because he was so determined to get one over it. The New York Times is the very embodiment of the liberal coastal elite O'Reilly, Shine and Ailes have spent decades bashing. The irony is not lost on either party.
What next for Fox News? Hannity's future remains unclear. Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, who works for Fox News, told me a fortnight ago that Tucker Carlson, the anchor who has replaced O'Reilly in the key 8pm slot, has long been thought of as his likely successor. In his first few days, Carlson has rated well.
But the bigger drama is yet to come: the federal probes into whether payments were withheld from investors could intensify just as Ofcom consider whether to approve the Murdochs' bid for Sky. The last bid was of course derailed by the phone hacking scandal; and while Ofcom won't comment on what is a quasi-judicial process, their deliberations aren't taking place in a vacuum.
In ancient times, before Donald Trump was elected and when some people naively believed Hillary Clinton would be US president, the mood music coming out of New York suggested that the sons would build Fox News around Megyn Kelly, taking it in a more centrist and female-friendly direction. Now she's gone, and Rupert Murdoch is trying to rid his network of the cancer threatening to spread through it.
Suddenly, the future of Fox News is up for grabs - and British regulators are watching.
Our first special election night programme was in 1955, presented by Richard Dimbleby. It was a serious affair and we had a map surrounded by what look like bus destination signs.
Four years later we got a computer - or as Richard called it: "An a-leck-tronic com-pewt-ar". In fact, we were so excited we gave it a name. Meet Ella:
The swingometer soon became a staple part of our coverage, although it was pretty basic in the early days. In 1970, for example, we had to call in a chap with a paint brush to make a few alterations:
Outside the studio, we have long deployed dozens of BBC reporters to vote counts across the country. But as Michael Cockerell found out in 1979, things don't always go to plan:
Thankfully, social attitudes have changed quite a bit since we started covering election nights - and segments like this one from 1964 about the "pretty studio girls" sound pretty bizarre now:
Our interviews with female politicians have also come on a bit since this one conducted by Robin Day and Cliff Michelmore with Tory MP Janet Fookes in 1970:
Anyway, that's enough casual sexism - let's move on to another vice. In decades past, it wasn't uncommon to see our presenters unwinding with a cigarette or cigar.
To give the studio team a break, every now and then we venture out to speak to "ordinary voters". In this clip from 1974, a "housewife" rallies against a Tory government:
We also like to bring you the voice of the younger generation. Invariably, that means hitting the dancefloor. We always send the most suave of our reporters, like Bernard in 1970:
Interviewing the winners and the losers is always fun - but technology can often be a stumbling block. Still, 'Brother Day' handled this example very well in 1964:
When the results are in we usually know the best people to turn to for analysis. Not always, though, as this Brucie Bonus shows:
And if our guests don't quite hit the nail on the head, we always have a bank of snazzy graphics to call on. Sometimes we get a little carried away, as demonstrated by Jeremy Vine:
Talking of presenters, our front man has been one of the few elements that hasn't changed much over the years.
We began with Richard Dimbleby in 1955 and his son, David, has been leading the coverage since 1979. But he's not always as serious as his father was:

For the Scots and their much talked-about revival, this was perspective. Way, way too much perspective. It wasn't just a slap in the face, it was a kick to the solar plexus and a proper shoeing in the aftermath.
A record hiding. A shellacking to end all shellackings. Swing Low Sweet Chariot rung out around Twickenham in the last minutes, a hymn to a thunderously impressive team as they laid siege to the Scottish line in pursuit of an even bigger victory over Scotland than the one they had - which was already the biggest of all time.
They got over for their seventh try with the last play and they deserved it. Sixty-one points. For the Scots, it was a form of sporting torture.
The surreal thing is that Scotland's unrelenting Kafkaesque nightmare began after just two minutes when Fraser Brown was put in the bin. While he was there, the game was won and lost. Just like that.
English power, English pace, English points. Lots and lots of them. Eddie Jones did his stuff. In this Six Nations there hasn't been much, if any, evidence of frailties in the Scotland midfield but Jones saw some and, Lord, how England executed.
They threw a dummy runner at Alex Dunbar and Huw Jones, a little bit of deception that created a very large hole and the opening try for Jonathan Joseph. Scotland were spooked now. The might of Twickenham closed in on them. Stuart Hogg dropped a high ball and a minute later it was 10-0. Brown came back on to the field, overthrew his first line-out and suddenly it was 13-0.
Then it all got weird as well as woeful. Hogg disappeared for a head injury assessment and wasn't seen again - another colossal blow to Scotland's morale.
Mark Bennett came on, got injured after a few minutes and then went off again. Tommy Seymour was now playing full-back, Ali Price was on the right wing, Henry Pyrgos was scrum-half. Deckchairs. Rearranged. Titanic.
Joseph raced through the Scottish midfield for a second one-phase try after 25 minutes and in that moment a giant jumbo jet appeared in the skies above Twickenham. Metaphorically, the visiting fans were on it. In body they were still there cheering their team. In mind, they were out of there.
Gordon Reid's try wasn't so much of a sign of a comeback as a consolation. After half an hour. And even when the prop blasted over, and Russell converted, Scotland's death-wish kicked in again.
More Scottish indiscipline gave Farrell another shot at goal and the centre knocked over his kick. At 23-7 the Scots were on the canvas. The misery was in seeing them having to get up only to get knocked down again.
Two minutes after Farrell's penalty, Joseph plunged the knife deeper, exposing the midfield defence and teeing-up Anthony Watson. That was just before half-time. Just after, Joseph got his hat-trick. A third single-phase score, a continuation of the catastrophe.
England were an angry and focused team. All the chat about their slow starts to games was dynamited to kingdom come, all the talk about them having not played particularly well in this Six Nations was consigned to the rubbish bin. This was a mighty response. A vicious deconstruction of Scotland's momentum.
Another injury hit them early in the second half. Of course it did. Seymour went off, Duncan Weir came on and he became Scotland's third full-back of the day. Soon after, Farrell's boot brought up the 40 for England.
God help them, but Scotland did their best to fight the inevitable. They tried to play, tried to avoid the concession of the kind of Twickenham points mountain that would have broken records. Jones scored, but England stirred again and Billy Vunipola replied. Jones scored again and like a cat with a mouse England responded, Danny Care bringing up the half-century that put this victory into the history books.
Six tries and it could have been seven had it not been for a Jones try-saver on Watson. Scotland wanted the whistle now - they wanted it from midway through the first half if truth be told - but they didn't hear it.
They were out on their feet, the English substitutes coming on and turning the screw, piling on the grief like the best teams do. No let-up, no throttling down on the power. This is how champions behave - and England are fine, fine champions.
They went for their seventh try and their 60th point as if they needed it like they needed their last breath. They camped themselves on the Scottish line, put them through scrum upon scrum, defence upon defence. For the weary visitors, it was torture. Physical and mental.
Care got that seventh score to complete the jaw-dropping rout. Nobody could see this coming. Nobody. Scotland came here in search of a dream. In the end, it was their worst kind of nightmare.
Council tax bills in England are going up by an average of 3.1%, or £46 a year, while residents of Wales will pay an extra £41.
Water bills, prescription charges, and the cost of air travel are also rising.
"It seems to have become national price hike day," said Hannah Maundrell, the editor in chief of Money.co.uk.
"The majority of the price hikes seem pretty small, many as low as 1%. However, all these small hikes add up and lead to fewer pounds in your pocket."
The latest figures show that CPI inflation is currently 0.3%.
Apart from Council tax, here are some of the other increases:
After years of encouraging local authorities to freeze their Council Tax, the Treasury has now allowed a small increase, primarily to pay for the costs of social care.
However Council Tax will remain frozen in Scotland for another year.
Councils say that much of the increase will be spent on paying a higher level of wages, as a result of the introduction of the National Living Wage (NLW).
From 1 April, 1.3m workers over the age of 25 will be entitled to a minimum wage of £7.20 an hour, instead of £6.70 previously.
"After years of striving to keep council tax as low as possible or frozen, town halls find themselves having no choice but to ask residents to pay more council tax over the next few years to offset some of the spiralling costs of social care in 2016/17," said a spokesperson for the Local Government Association (LGA).
Councils also warned that the quality and quantity of services on offer could drop, as a result of further funding reductions next year.
They said the National Living Wage would bring "a significant further cost pressure from April". | A study to find out how a form of leprosy is affecting the UK's threatened red squirrels is to be carried out in Dorset.

With 100 days until the tournament starts, chief executive Jonathan Ford said safety is of the "utmost importance".
Thousands of fans are set to make trips to watch Wales play in their first major tournament since 1958.
They face Slovakia in Bordeaux, England in Lens and Russia in Toulouse.
If they qualify from Group B, they will reach the knock-out stages.
Security is expected to be stepped up following the Paris attacks last November, which included three explosions outside the Stade de France.
"One thing it does do is it ensures the appropriate plans will be put in place," Mr Ford told BBC Wales.
"I'm sure the security of the players, the staff and of course all of the fans is of the utmost importance.
"They'll be making sure people get to the stadiums early, they'll be making sure they've got pre-ticket checks so that anybody who's going to get near a stadium or near a fan zone is going to be appropriate, secure and going to enjoy the festival atmosphere." | Security at Euro 2016 will be "very stringent" when Wales fans head to France in June, the head of the Football Association of Wales has said. | 35,710,978 | 220 | 32 | false |
It happened on the Gleneeny Road on Tuesday afternoon.
He was up to his waist in water and had a cut to his head when the fire and rescue service arrived at the scene before 15:00 GMT.
The man's been taken to Craigavon Area hospital for treatment for severe head injuries.
His condition is described as serious but stable.
Stephen Gaffney from the Fire and Rescue Service said the man was a contractor who was working on his own excavating land when he got into difficulties.
"Somehow he managed to slip into the 15ft hole and he became trapped in water," he said.
"He was wedged by a concrete pipe and surrounding mud.
"He's been taken to hospital with severe head injuries and minor leg injuries.
"The mud around the man hole was saturated by heavy rain."
A deficit of nearly £900m was racked up by NHS trusts in the first nine months of the 2016-17 financial year.
It comes despite the health service being given extra money to help it get on top of its finances after the record £2.45bn overspend in 2015-16.
Hospitals were seeing more patients than budgeted for, they reported.
They also said problems discharging patients because of a lack of community services had cost them, said the regulator, NHS Improvement.
The figures for April to December cover ambulances, mental health units and community services as well as hospitals - although most of the deficit has been accrued by the latter.
Between them they account for £80bn of fund, about two-thirds of the health budget, because spending on GPs, training, drugs and public health are accounted for separately.
NHS Improvement, which released the accounts, said it had been a "challenging winter".
Waiting times have reached their worst-ever levels in A&E, while nine out of 10 hospitals have spent the winter months overcrowded with unsafe numbers of patients on wards.
NHS Improvement chief executive Jim Mackey said it was proving to be "extremely challenging times".
But the regulator predicted the deficit could be cut slightly by the end of the financial year in April to between £750m and £850m - but still above the £580m figure suggested earlier in the year.
Some 135 out of 238 trusts had racked up a deficit in the nine months between April and December.
The total deficit when taking into account surpluses was £886m - less than half the figure at this point last year.
But the improvement has only been achieved because of a special one-off £1.8bn fund this year to help hospitals plug the gap.
Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents trusts, described the latest figures as worrying.
He said trusts were expected to operate with a "wafer-thin" margin for error.
"We shouldn't kid ourselves. The NHS's underlying financial position is not sustainable," he added.
The NHS is in the middle of the tightest financial settlement since it was created. Since 2010 the budget has been rising by a little more than 1% on average compared to more than 4% during the rest of its history.

Roedd Juhel Miah, 25, yn annerch torf mewn rali gwrth-hiliaeth yng Nghaerdydd ddydd Sadwrn.
Dywedodd yr athro o Ysgol Gyfun Llangatwg bod swyddogion wedi gwneud iddo deimlo fel "bygythiad" wrth ei hebrwng oddi ar awyren wrth i'r grŵp deithio i Efrog Newydd.
Fe wnaeth cannoedd o bobl fynychu'r rali yng Ngerddi Grange gan gynnwys arweinydd Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood, a'r AS Llafur Jo Stevens.
Roedd y grŵp o 39 disgybl a phedwar athro wedi hedfan i Wlad yr Ia ar 16 Chwefror eleni ar eu ffordd i'r UDA, pan gafodd Mr Miah ei stopio ym maes awyr Reykjavik gan swyddogion Americanaidd.
"Fe ddarllenodd hi mai fy enw cyntaf yw Mohammed ac o'r pwynt hwnnw fe ddechreuodd y trafferthion," meddai Mr Miah.
Cafodd fynd ar yr awyren, cyn i swyddog arall o'r UDA fynd ato a dweud ei fod wedi ei atal rhag teithio i'r wlad.
"Roedd gen i'r un dogfennau â'r holl athrawon a disgyblion eraill. Yr unig wahaniaeth rhyngof i a nhw oedd, o bosib, lliw fy nghroen, y ffaith mod i'n Fwslim a'r ffaith mai fy enw oedd Mohammed Juhel Miah."
Ar y pryd roedd Arlywydd yr UDA, Donald Trump wedi arwyddo gorchymyn yn atal teithwyr o saith gwlad oedd â phoblogaeth mwyafrif Mwslimaidd rhag dod i'r wlad.
Dywedodd Mr Miah ei fod wedi derbyn gohebiaeth gan Lysgenhadaeth yr UDA ers y digwyddiad yn dweud nad oedd wedi cael ei atal rhag teithio i'r UDA a'i fod yn rhydd i wneud cais am fisa i deithio yno eto yn y dyfodol.
Ond mynnodd yr athro ei fod yn amlwg wedi cael ei wahardd er bod ganddo drwydded ESTA cymwys ar y pryd.
Dywedodd AS Canol Caerdydd Jo Stevens, un arall a siaradodd yn y rali, bod digwyddiadau gwleidyddol diweddar wedi datgelu "hiliaeth gudd" ar draws y DU.
Poyet's side are two points above the relegation zone and went out of the FA Cup to Bradford City last Sunday.
He said in January that Sunderland's fans were "living in the past", and has accused the media of damaging the club.
"I invite all of you to stay positive," Poyet wrote, in a letter released by Sunderland.
Former Chelsea, Tottenham and Uruguay midfielder Poyet took charge of the Black Cats in October 2013 with the club bottom of the Premier League.
He guided them to four victories and a draw from their final six league games to keep them up last season - a run that included wins at Chelsea and Manchester United and a draw at Manchester City.
But they have won only four out of 25 Premier League matches this season, and has received heavy criticism from fans.
The manager upset many supporters after a 0-0 FA Cup fourth-round draw at home to Fulham on 24 January by claiming that they were intent on a return to the 'kick and rush' style under former manager Peter Reid, who recorded seventh-place top-flight finishes in 2000 and 2001.
But in his letter, Poyet wrote: "During my career as a player, coach or manager, I have always had a fantastic relationship with the fans.
"From my time in Uruguay, going through every team in Europe, always the relationship was strong, one of mutual respect and understanding.
"I showed from inside or from outside the pitch, my commitment, passion and dedication in achieving what every club deserved.
"Of course, I went through good and bad times, successful and not so good ones, winning or losing finals, but I left every single club having a recognition from the fans for my honesty, passion and professional work.
"So let's make sure that we don't let anyone to break our relationship. I promise you that I care and want to win as much as you do and no one thinks more time every day about the team than I do.
"So I invite all of you to stay positive, to be strong, closer to each other and keep believing in what we started together last year, working harder to make it better this season.
"To finish I would like to clarify once more: the responsibility of the results of our team is down to me, I always said it and I will always accept my responsibility."
United said it had suffered a "network connectivity" problem - the same issue that grounded its flights on 2 June.
The US aviation authority (FAA) said the airline resolved the issues at about 10:00 ET (14:00 GMT).
The company has suffered technical issues in the past, including one that meant first-class seats were sold in error for just $100 (£65) in February.
"We experienced a network connectivity issue this morning. We are working to resolve this and apologise to our customers for any inconvenience," United said in a statement.
The problem impacted as many as 3,500 flights, the airline told the CNBC TV news network.
United customers complained of delays and a lack of information on Twitter on Wednesday morning.
One passenger, Jeralyn Novak, tweeted: "Never flying @united ever again! The whole computer system is down and stuck in Boise."
Betsy Fischer Martin, a journalist travelling with United, tweeted: "Our @united airlines pilot on their global outage: "It's like someone pulled the plug on our computers - It's embarrassing, I apologise.""
United said it was "recovering" and "restoring flight ops" after the FAA order was lifted, but long queues were reported at airports across the US.
It was the latest in a series of technical problems that the US carrier has had in recent months.
Last month, United was again forced to ground its planes across the US due to an unspecified computer problem.
And in February, the company cancelled thousands of bookings after a computer glitch allowed transatlantic flights to be bought for very low prices.
United said it would not honour the fares as the error was caused by a "third party software provider" - provoking criticism from customers.
It is not the only airline to have suffered with technical issues though.
In April, rival US carrier American Airlines also had to ground its planes after a glitch caused iPad software - used by its pilots to view flight plans - to stop working.
The 26-year-old registered with the New Zealand Warriors in September after leaving the Parramatta Eels because of personal problems.
But the NRL delayed his registration with the Auckland-based team while he dealt with mental health issues, a drug overdose and a relationship breakdown.
The NRL says the test will check he is ready for the pressures of the game.
"Kieran will only be allowed to play again in the NRL if that assessment is positive," NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg said.
The new season starts on 2 March and Warriors hope Foran, capped 20 times for New Zealand, will be available to face the Bulldogs in Dunedin on Friday, 17 March.
"We have seen Kieran's progress over the last few months and we are confident he will be ready for round three," Warriors managing director Jim Doyle said.
Joanne Lowson, who had the allegedly needless surgery to remove a lump, said it "almost divided my breast in half".
She told a jury she underwent the operation as she believed she could still wear "bikinis and pretty tops".
Mr Paterson denies 20 counts of wounding when working in the West Midlands.
Jurors have heard the surgeon carried out completely unnecessary operations for "obscure motives".
Mr Paterson, of Castle Mill Lane, Ashley, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, was employed by Heart of England NHS Trust and also practised at privately-owned Spire Healthcare hospitals.
Nottingham Crown Court heard Mrs Lowson, then aged 42, saw Mr Paterson in March 2009 after discovering a lumpy area in her left breast.
She said: "He (Mr Paterson) said there were some abnormal cells, the lump was unstable but not cancerous.
"My husband said: 'What would happen if we did nothing and left the lump?' and Mr Paterson said he could not guarantee it would remain non-cancerous.
"He talked about using a cleavage-sparing technique so I did not have a scar on my cleavage."
Mrs Lowson said she had a second cleavage-sparing operation in September 2010 after another lump was found, which left her with a "significant deformity in the visible cleavage area" on her left breast.
When asked by prosecuting QC Julian Christopher whether she would have decided to go through with the operations if she had known the results of a scan on the lump, she said: "No-one in their right mind would have something removed if it was normal.
"At no point did he say it was normal."
On Wednesday, the trial heard a mother was led to believe she was a cancer "ticking bomb" and encouraged to undergo chemotherapy and a mastectomy, a court has heard.
Patricia Welch said she had thought Mr Paterson was a "consummate professional" and she put her complete trust in him.
Her husband Michael told the court Mr Paterson and the couple had become on "quite good terms" and used to joke about his consultancy fees being "a good earner".
"He (Mr Paterson) would jokingly say 'I have to pay for my holidays somehow'. We would gently laugh at that," he said.
The trial has been adjourned until Monday.

Leighton Andrews has also told local authorities to slash bureaucracy and administration costs as public spending cuts continue to bite.
He has set up an independent review to find where savings can be made.
Councils have warned key services could be "dismantled" due to £146m in budget cuts next year.
The review comes as Wales' 22 councils face a deadline over voluntary merger talks this week.
On Monday evening, Bridgend council voted in favour of merging with the Vale of Glamorgan Council as part of the shake-up.
The findings of the administration costs view will be considered during the Welsh government's local government reform plans after the Williams Commission recommended the number of councils be cut to as few as 10.
Mr Andrews has said "significant change" is coming and has indicated that he is open to the idea of cutting the number of local authorities to as few as six.
He said he expected councils to focus "limited resources" on frontline services for the public and trim backroom spending.
"This review will enable me and local authorities to compare and contrast expenditure and understand where practice should be changed to move a greater proportion of the spending to delivering services to citizens," he said.
Councils have until Friday to submit their ideas for voluntary merger.
But Andrew Morgan, leader of Rhondda Cynon Taf council, warned against "rushing" into reorganisation.
He said his authority was not yet convinced of the case for a recommended merger with Merthyr Tydfil and was seeking talks with five neighbouring councils.
"Just putting blocks on a map together doesn't work - we need to look at the services, the cost base, and the management," he told BBC Radio Wales on Monday.
"If we are to work through this, it needs to be sustainable. We don't want to be rushing just to try and cut some chief executives and find out in a few years that services are starting to fail."
Aaron Shotton, leader of Flintshire council, told BBC Radio Wales that organising a merger could cost his authority £10m although neighbouring Wrexham had already rejected the idea.
He said councils were already working hard to cut costs and further savings would be difficult to find.
"Already we've taken out £2.5m of senior management costs this year - you can't repeat that - and we've already set a challenging [savings] target of over £1m of administration costs so it's something we're already doing," he said.
"If we protect social care and education, that leave us with £80m [a year] for everything else that we spend across the council from which we'll have to find £50m [in savings] over the next three years.
"[Reorganisation] is a distraction, a slight red herring - the issue is what can the Welsh government do now to provide a vision for local government and provide flexibilities in order to assist us in the challenge ahead."
Andy Silvester from The TaxPayers' Alliance said: "The minister is spot on that reducing wasteful spending and unnecessary bureaucracy is the way forward.
"Saving money in those areas ensures that frontline services are still delivered for taxpayers."
The Digital Paper tablet uses the well-known E-ink display and lets people write notes on and annotate the documents it displays.
Designed for office use, Sony said that the low-power device should work for three weeks without needing to be recharged.
The wi-fi using gadget will go on sale in May and should cost $1,100 (£660).
The tablet is the first to be built using a new version of E-Ink's display technology developed in collaboration with Sony.
All the earlier versions of the low power display are built on glass substrates making them heavy and relatively thick. The new type of display, called Mobius, is built on plastic, making it about half the weight of one made using glass. The screen has a 1200 x 1600 resolution dot display.
The tablet displays documents in the Adobe PDF format and these can be written upon using the gadget's stylus. Documents prepared in other formats are converted to PDF before being displayed.
Despite being a touchscreen the device also retains some of the properties of paper and allows a user to rest their hand on the display while they write.
It has 4GB of internal storage that can be supplemented using micro SD memory cards.
A prototype of the Digital Paper tablet was shown off in May 2013 in demonstrations that emphasised the flexibility of its screen. However, the tablet being released in May is rigid as it has a plastic case. Publicity material provided by Sony suggests versions that retain their flexibility are in development.
Scotland's first minister became the first serving head of a foreign government to address the Senate.

Ms Sturgeon is on a two-day visit to Ireland in the wake of the Brexit vote. She is examining possible options for maintaining Scotland's links to the European single market - and has a shared interest with the Irish government in keeping the whole of the UK in the single market.
On Monday, she met President Michael D Higgins and foreign affairs minister Charlie Flanagan. It followed a meeting with Irish prime minister Enda Kenny at the UK-Irish Council last week.
Ms Sturgeon told the Senate - the upper house of the Irish Parliament - that it was clear from those discussions that Brexit was the "greatest foreign policy challenge that Ireland has faced since it joined the European Union."
She added: "For Scotland too, we know that how we, and indeed the UK as a whole, responds to June's vote will define us for generations to come."
The first minister repeated her calls for the UK as a whole to seek to continue as a member of the single market and the European Customs Union, pointing out that 48% of voters had chosen to remain in the EU.
She said the Scottish government was "exploring options" that would "respect the vote in Scotland and allow us to retain the benefits of the single market".
And she said these proposals, which are due to be published by the end of the year, would focus on options for Scotland within the UK.
But Ms Sturgeon added: "Of course, there is also the option of considering again the question of becoming an independent country.
"And that option of course remains firmly on the table. If the path that the UK takes turns out to be deeply damaging to Scotland's best interests, to our economic, social, and cultural interests, then the people of Scotland must have the right to choose a different future."
She also said she "acutely understands" that "none of what lies ahead will be easy", but said that nothing about Brexit was going to be easy either.
The first minister said: "We are living today in unprecedented times, and those unprecedented times require imagination, open minds and fresh thinking."
Scotland voted to stay in the EU - by 62% to 38% - with every single council area backing the Remain camp.
Ms Sturgeon added: "Scotland's experiences in Europe have not, of course, been identical to Ireland. We are not an independent member state - yet.
"But the sense that small countries can be equals in a partnership of many is something that appeals to us about the European Union.
"And so the basic principle of EU membership, that independent countries cooperate for the common good, has generally seemed to us to be praiseworthy rather than problematic."
She had earlier told the Senate that the historical links between Scotland and Ireland had created a "special and unbreakable bond".
And she said relations between the two countries were now "stronger, warmer and more harmonious" than ever, and would be strengthened even further in the years ahead.
Ahead of her speech to the Senate, Ms Sturgeon confirmed that her government was examining ways for the Scottish NHS to offer abortions to women from Northern Ireland free of charge.
Ms Sturgeon first outlined the proposals in response to a question in the Scottish Parliament earlier this month.
Abortions are illegal in Northern Ireland except for cases where the woman's health is at risk. The situation has led to women travelling to Great Britain seeking terminations.
Ayew, 25, has been at Marseille since 2006 but his deal with the Ligue 1 side expired this month.
The former BBC African Footballer of the Year scored 52 goals in 181 appearances for the French club and has 62 caps for his country.
"I felt this was the right place for me," Ayew said.
"I felt that my desire to play in the Premier League and wanting to grow as a player meant that Swansea was the best solution for me in every way.
"Seeing the honesty and desire of the club made me feel that they really wanted me to come. They have proved that in all ways."
Swansea sold striker Wilfried Bony to Manchester City in January.
The Ivory Coast international's short-term replacement, Nelson Oliveira, has returned to Benfica following his loan spell at the Liberty Stadium.
Ayew's departure from Marseille brings to an end his family's 28-year association with the club.
His father, Abedi Pele, signed in 1987 and was part of their Champions League-winning team in 1993.
Younger brother Jordan also started his career at the State Velodrome, before joining Lorient.
Ayew had held talks with QPR, who were relegated from the top flight, in January.
In May the Ghanaian said he was weighing up options to join clubs in England, Italy and Germany and admitted the Premier League was attractive to him.
Christina Overton detailed her husband's struggles in a Facebook post on his 34th birthday on Sunday.
"After several months off due to a herniated disc, Jeff underwent a minimally invasive procedure in hopes of improving the area," she wrote.
"Through the procedure he acquired a life-threatening infection in his spine, forcing an emergency surgery."
Overton, who was part of the US Ryder Cup team that lost 14½ to 13½ to Europe in 2010, last played on the PGA Tour in February.
"After a month in the hospital and acute rehab centre, many nights of excruciating pain and uncertainty, two months of IV antibiotics and home health care, we are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel," added his wife.
Overton tweeted: "These last few months have been surreal and it certainly makes you appreciate life and health."
The collapse of the retaining wall in December 2013 caused a landslip next to the flats at 2 Gardner Street.
The block was evacuated after fears the collapse could affect its "structural stability".
Repairs to the wall have cost almost £777,000. Residents will be allowed back in on 7 December.
Dundee City Council said councillors had approved the work to repair the wall in March 2015.
Ken Guild, convener of the council's policy and resources committee said: "I am delighted that residents will be able to get back into their homes.
"When no one took responsibility for the necessary work, the council stepped in to carry out permanent repairs which has proved to be a success.
"Now that we have reached a conclusion, residents can get settled as soon as possible."
The council said work still needed to be done in the rear garden of the property.
Mark Davey, 33, from Luton, had set up a fundraising page for Starlight, which grants wishes to seriously and terminally ill children.
Mr Davey, who died from severe head and brain injuries after crashing his Audi in September last year, had cancer as a child.
He had started fundraising on his 30th birthday.
His father Chris said Mr Davey had put on a boxing night and run the London Marathon to raise money.
At the time of his death in September he had raised £8,000 but since then that figure has increased to more than £58,000.
Mr Davey had told his parents he wanted to raise £30,000 for the charity.
Chris Davey said his son had been treated for cancer when he was 12.
"That drove Mark for the rest of his life," he said. "The fundraising was a lovely thought."
Mr Davey taught himself to box in order to hold a charity boxing night, before running the London Marathon.
"At the end of the race he said the only thing that kept him going was the thought of the children," his father said.
An inquest on Wednesday concluded Mr Davey died as a result of a road traffic collision on the A6 at Wixams, Bedfordshire.
He had been seen racing his Audi R8 against a black Porsche 911, with both cars reaching speeds of up to 80mph, at the time of the crash,
Mr Davey, who was a company director at Indigo Residential estate agents in Luton, played as a winger for Luton Rugby Club.
He was driving home after an away game against Bedford Swifts on 13 September when the crash happened.
Ireland clinched their second successive title 12 months ago with a crushing 40-10 win at Murrayfield.
"We will use last season's game a little bit for motivation," said Ford, who will win his 99th cap at the Aviva Stadium.
"It has been mentioned. It would be silly if you didn't look back at it."
That record home defeat by Ireland confirmed a whitewash for Scotland in head coach Vern Cotter's first taste of the tournament.
However, the Scots go into this final weekend one point better off than their hosts after back-to-back wins over Italy and France.
"It was a poor performance from us," recalled Ford. "But this time we are a far better team than we were then."

Scotland were victorious at Croke Park in 2010, one of just two wins on Irish soil since 1998.
"We just want to do ourselves justice by putting in a good performance," said Ford.
"I think they're going through a bit of a transition. They have lost a few key members of the squad. But they are still a dangerous team who don't make too many mistakes.
"We've got a fairly settled squad but we tend to focus on what we can do, rather than getting too carried away with the opposition. We understand what their threats are but it always comes back to what we can affect during the game."
A third successive win would be Scotland's best run in the competition since 1996 and Ford hopes to build on the momentum gained in their last two fixtures.
"We've performed well in the last two games and didn't make many mistakes in last week's match with France so we want to continue that form," said the 2009 Lions forward.
"Everybody want to finish on a high.
"The pressure we put on ourselves as a group is really the only pressure we experience. The standards we want to set is all that really bothers us."
The Edinburgh stalwart is certainly not distracted by his proximity to a century of international appearances.
"There's nothing special been done yet," he added. "I'm just going out to play the game like I normally would and put in a performance that I'll be happy with.
"The 100 caps for Scotland does come up. Folk mention it. But all I can do is perform to the best of my abilities and do my bit as part of the team.
"If that leads to more caps, then so be it. It's not a target or anything. I just enjoy playing for my country."
The ex-shadow health minister said it was an "honour" to represent Copeland since 2005, adding: "Leaving Parliament is the hardest decision of my life."
He will stand down at the end of January, triggering a by-election in a seat Labour retained in 2015 with a 2,564 majority.
Mr Reed has been a persistent critic of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
He resigned from Labour's front bench as soon as Mr Corbyn won the 2015 leadership contest.
In his resignation letter, he praised the efforts of the last Labour government and wished the current leader "every success" in his bid to become prime minister.
"In our country and in my community, the Labour Party remains the greatest movement for social and economic progress we have ever seen or are ever likely to see," he wrote.
In response, Mr Corbyn said: "I am sorry to hear that Jamie Reed is to stand down as MP for Copeland.
"Jamie has given great service to his party, his country and his constituency. He has been a powerful voice for rural and remote communities and served his community well, campaigning for additional flood defences and infrastructure for Cumbria. I wish him all the best in his future role.
"We now face a by-election and local party members will soon choose a candidate equally committed to Copeland and its people."
Jamie Reed didn't hide his scepticism towards the current leadership of his party. He resigned from the front bench within a minute of Jeremy Corbyn's victory in September 2015, denouncing the new leader's opposition to nuclear energy as "fundamentally wrong". But he felt it was better to stay and fight his party's shift to the left rather than leave - and was congratulated by none other than the former SDP leader Lord Owen for that stance.
He insists now that his resignation as an MP isn't a protest against Jeremy Corbyn - instead, he says, he can help his community in other ways. He will be rejoining the nuclear industry where he worked before being elected to parliament in 2005. The question is whether his actions will lead to a meltdown in the Labour vote.
Apart from in 1997, the Copeland seat has always had only a very narrow Labour majority. It is believed about two thirds of voters backed Brexit and Sellafield is the main employer so a largely pro-Remain party led by a nuclear sceptic might find the political environment in this part of Cumbria rather challenging.
In his new job Mr Reed, a longstanding advocate for renewing the UK's nuclear weapons system, will be head of development and community relations at Sellafield, where he used to be a press officer.
Mr Reed said his departure was not prompted by differences with Mr Corbyn.
He told The Guardian: "This decision has got absolutely nothing to do with Jeremy Corbyn. On a personal level I've got a very cordial relationship.
"One of the reasons that I am moving on is because I think there's a better way of (serving the community) right now than to remain as a Member of Parliament."
Mr Reed voted for renewal of the Trident nuclear weapons system earlier this year, calling Mr Corbyn's opposition to nuclear weapons "juvenile" and "narcissistic".
At the 2015 election Jamie Reed won with 16,750 votes, Conservative Stephen Haraldsen came second with 14,186 votes, with UKIP's Michael Pye third on 6,148 and the Lib Dems' Danny Gallagher fourth with 1,368. The Greens' Allan Todd came fifth with 1,179 votes.
Conservative Party chairman Patrick McLoughlin said: "We are sorry to see Jamie Reed leaving Parliament, but congratulate him on his new job, and what must have been a very difficult decision for him and his family.
"It is a sorry state of affairs when talented Members of Parliament like him no longer feel comfortable representing Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party."
He added: "We look forward to the by-election, and the opportunity to set out how the Conservatives are building a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged few."

City face the Hammers at London Stadium on Friday night, live on BBC One.
"The cup is special because the lower team can beat the big teams, which is why it is fascinating," said Guardiola.
"I'm looking forward to it, but of course it's a Premier League game so it will be tough. We were unlucky in the draw."
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said the tie is a "big game" for both sides and the fans.
"They will put out a very strong team because it is a big chance for them to get a trophy," he added.
The game at London Stadium is the first of 32 third-round ties across four days this weekend.
BBC One also has live coverage of Tottenham v Aston Villa on Sunday (16:00 GMT) while 5 live Sport's Mark Chapman presents Saturday's show from Sutton United ahead of their tie with AFC Wimbledon.
City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was uncertain in the air in the 2-1 win over Burnley on Monday, failing to deal with a corner that led to Ben Mee's goal for the visitors.
It was the latest in a series of mistakes by Bravo, but Guardiola said the Chilean - who could come up against West Ham's powerful striker Andy Carroll on Friday - is adapting to the physical nature of English football.
"I see many goalkeepers who had the same problems as Claudio with these balls and when they fight for them, it's not only Claudio Bravo," said the Spaniard.
"He's intelligent enough, he has experience enough, he was nominated one of the five best keepers in the world, he has experience in Europe, all around the world, in South America, where the intensity of the games is so tough.
"He realised immediately with these sort of balls into the box he had to be careful because it's special.
"It's not necessary to read the newspapers or the comments of the coach saying, 'Go there, be careful here, it's quite different'. He realised already."
Guardiola also insisted he is not ready to quit management, after he had said he was "arriving at the end" of his career following the Burnley match - when he also gave a testy post-match interview to BBC Sport.
When asked about Guardiola's conduct, Bilic said: "I saw his interview but maybe he was just tired after a couple of games in three days.
"Maybe after the great start they made some fans or pundits expected them to cruise in the league, especially with Guardiola.
"But it is never easy in any league, especially here. They are not struggling but for their standards, to be however many points from the top is probably not what they expected.
"He's never worked in a smaller club, he's never fought against relegation or mid-table or anything different than 'we have to win the league'.
"Is it Barcelona, is it Bayern, is it Man City? It's the same. He knew the intensity of the English league, he was well prepared for a difficult season. He didn't expect anything less than he is getting or has faced so far."

Guardiola has said he will play a full-strength side on Friday, while midfielder Soufiane Feghouli is available for West Ham after his red card against Manchester United on Saturday was rescinded.
Bilic also confirmed on-loan striker Simone Zaza will not play for West Ham again to avoid having to pay a £17.1m permanent-deal fee to parent club Juventus, which would have been triggered after 15 first-team appearances.
Zaza was signed on a season-long loan in August for a initial fee of £4.2m but has not scored in the 11 games he has featured in and has not played in the league since November.

"He is still our player until he goes somewhere but mainly because of the situation with his contract he is finished here," said Bilic.
"Unfortunately we had to judge him on six, seven, eight games which is not a big pattern to judge a player in general.
"He is definitely a good player but like many times in football, it just didn't happen."

The 24-year-old suffered the injury in Monday's 20-12 win at Widnes, in which he scored one of his side's three tries.
"We're all gutted for Tommy," said Saints coach Keiron Cunningham.
"He is one of the most professional players we have and will be dedicated to his rehab. But we are experienced at dealing with long-term injuries."
Makinson, who is nine short of a century of career tries for Saints, has crossed the whitewash four times in Super League this season.
Saints currently stand sixth after eight games, four points off top spot.
The move comes just two weeks after hosts Tunisia crushed Djibouti 8-1 in the first match of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
Leekens guided Tunisia to the 2015 Cup of Nations quarter-finals.
They then suffered a controversial defeat by hosts Equatorial Guinea in the last eight.
A hotly disputed stoppage time penalty helped the home side to equalise and they triumphed 2-1 after extra time.
The FTF announced the decision to part company with Leekens on their website.
"We have decided (on) an amicable separation between the two parties without any payment on the part of FTF or George Leekens."
It is not known if Leekens, whose contract with Tunisia ran to March 2016, has lined up alternate employment.
Reigning African champions Ivory Coast are seeking a coach after Frenchman Herve Renard resigned to join Ligue 1 club Lille.
Leekens has also worked in Turkey, Algeria, Netherlands and Saudi Arabia.
Officials said the Belgian would be replaced by another foreign coach.
The next Cup of Nations qualifier for the 'Carthage Eagles' is away to Liberia during September.
The blaze near Dores was reported at 19:30 on Wednesday.
Four pump appliances were at the scene. No properties were threatened.
Scottish Fire and Rescue said the crews had returned to the fire station but would return later to check for hotspots in the area of the fire.
The staff at Community Safety Glasgow (CSG), an arms-length council body, want better pay for shift work.
The union Unison said 19 members would take part in the action from 19:00 on Thursday until 19:00 on Saturday.
CSG said it had "business continuity plans in place" to ensure monitoring of Glasgow's CCTV network.
Unison Glasgow branch secretary Brian Smith said: "These members work 12-hour shift patterns, providing a 24-hour service every day of the year.
"Other workers in CSG and Glasgow City Council on similar shift patterns receive an additional annual payment of £7,500.
"It is just a question of equality and fairness."
CCTV operators staged their first 48-hour strike from 19:00 on Friday 4 March until 19:00 on Sunday 6 March.
A spokesman for CSG said: "Public safety is paramount and we have business continuity plans in place to enable us to continue to monitor the city's CCTV network."
Outdoor Recreation Northern Ireland said all £120,000 of its funding will be withdrawn from April.
The organisation provides insurance for all walking trails in Northern Ireland.
It said the withdrawal of the DoE funding puts such trails throughout Northern Ireland at risk.
Dawson Stelfox, chairman of the organisation and the first Irishman to climb Mount Everest, said iconic walks such as the Causeway Coast Way and the Ulster Way were now in jeopardy.
"The Northern Ireland Environment Committee is meeting today [Monday] to discuss the cuts and we urge the people of Northern Ireland to encourage them to challenge these cuts, for their own health and wellbeing as well as the economic benefits that outdoor recreation can bring," he said.
Outdoor Recreation NI has helped develop mountain bike trails in Rostrevor and Castlewellan in County Down and Davagh Forest in County Tyrone; the Canoe Trail on Lough Erne, walking and cycling trails in Beech Hill in County Londonderry, and the development of walking trails on Rathlin Island.
London, Liverpool and Birmingham have expressed interest in staging the event after host city Durban pulled out.
Manchester City Council said it was ready "to ensure the delivery of a successful games" if asked.
Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said he would be "happy to work with" Manchester.
However, in a tweet he said Liverpool would "challenge" any attempt to "gift the games to London or anyone else without a proper bidding and procurement process".
It is understood Manchester would be willing to act as a host city, or in collaboration with other locations.
The city hosted the games in 2002.
In a statement, the council said: "If we were invited to help, we would be pleased to work with the Commonwealth Games Federation and the government to ensure the delivery of a successful 2022 Games in England."
A spokesman for the Mayor of London said the games are "a wonderful sporting event" and London "would listen to any proposal to host in 2022".
"However there would be a number of practical issues to consider with the government and other stakeholders, including the substantial amount of funding it would require."
French firm EDF, which is financing most of the £18bn project in Somerset, approved its funding at a board meeting on Thursday.
China General Nuclear Power Corporation is contributing a third of the money.
Contracts were due to be signed by all the parties on Friday.
But in a surprise move, the government said it was "only right" to review such a significant project and would make a decision by the autumn.
According to the BBC's Newsnight programme it was security concerns over Chinese ownership of British nuclear power stations that were the primary reason why Prime Minister Theresa May postponed a final decision on the deal until later in the year.
Meanwhile, EDF's UK boss Vincent de Rivaz has written to staff, saying: "The new prime minister has been in post for just 16 days. Her full cabinet has been in post even fewer.
"We can understand their need to take a little time. We fully respect the prime minister's method."
He added: "The very good news is that we are ready. The [EDF] board's decision means that when the government is ready to go ahead, we are ready too."
The delay decision has been described as "bewildering and bonkers" by the GMB union national secretary for energy Justin Bowden, who fear it could jeopardise 25,000 jobs.
"After years of procrastination, what is required is decisive action not dithering and more delay," he said.

Delay at new nuclear plant 'bonkers'
Both EDF and CGN have reiterated their support for the scheme.
Jean-Bernard Levy, EDF Group chief executive said he remained confident the project would go ahead.
But a source close to CGN has told the BBC that everyone in the company was "bemused" by the sudden nature of the government's announcement and had been given no real insight into the reason for the delay other than being informed it was something the prime minister wanted.
It was also frustrated that the government had allowed speculation about national security concerns to continue.
Nick Timothy, who is a close adviser to Mrs May, has previously raised serious concerns about Chinese investment in areas that could threaten Britain's security.
Last year, the chancellor at the time, George Osborne, said investment in Hinkley Point could lead to the Chinese designing and constructing a new nuclear reactor at Bradwell in Essex.
At the time Mr Timothy wrote on the Conservativehome website that if that happened experts feared China could "build weaknesses into computer systems which will allow them to shut down Britain's energy production at will".
The BBC's industry correspondent, John Moylan said a senior delegation from China had flown in specially to attend the signing and they were now having to return home.

Prime Minister Theresa May is stamping her authority on government policy even it it means ruffling the feathers of foreign investors.
The government thinks this project has huge implications not just for energy policy but national security and foreign relations.
Therefore it remains unapologetic about giving it this level of scrutiny.
I have heard Mrs May will not be hurried into any decision. Remember, we have got a new government in Number 10. The business department is being completely restructured.
The last government under David Cameron and George Osborne might have taken a very particular attitude towards the Hinkley project.
Theresa May's government will not be a mirror image of the last government.
As for the timing of that now infamous announcement on Thursday, the PM's team believed it was not for them to say in advance of the EDF board meeting what their thinking was.
The company might have wanted the UK government to make its position clear first but Mrs May was not going to be bounced into that.
What does this look like to potential foreign investors and the question of whether Britain is still open for business?
I am being told we should not over interpret the review - there is a sense of reassurance rather than policy being ripped up to start all over again.
Hinkley Point C is expected to provide 7% of the UK's total electricity requirement.
Mace, which was appointed by EDF to oversee the contract management at the site and provide project and programme management services said: "We need to show that the UK is open for business.
"This decision to delay yet another project of national importance sends completely the wrong signal to investors and the world."
Labour's shadow energy secretary, Barry Gardiner, said there was a role for nuclear power as part of a low carbon future, but the government's handling of the situation had been "absolute chaos".
"At a day's notice they have cancelled the final signing of the agreement that they told the press and everyone they were going to do.
Critics of the plan have warned of environmental damage and potential escalating costs.
Britain has committed to pay a price more than twice the current market levels for the power generated by the plant over 35 years.
Greenpeace executive director John Sauven said: "Theresa May now has a chance to stop this radioactive white elephant in its tracks.
"She should look at the evidence and see that this deal would be a monumental disaster for taxpayers and bill payers.
"The UK needs to invest in safe, reliable renewable power."

Specialist police and army teams were called to the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) - formerly the Patent Office - on Cardiff Road at about 08:15 BST on Friday.
By 13:00, police said the incident was resolved, with staff allowed to return to the evacuated building.
An investigation has now been launched.
Part of the UK government's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the IPO has had its headquarters in Newport since 1991.
The other suspects left in a car which was waiting outside the Co-op, in Market Street, Ashby-de-la-Zouch on Thursday night.
During the police arrest, the man, aged 30, fell ill and was taken to hospital.
A 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission said it had sent investigators to the scene.
The area has been cordoned off for forensic examination and Market Street is closed.
A Leicestershire Police spokeswoman said they were called just after 22:00 to reports of a group of men threatening staff with a baseball bat and golf club, and demanding cash.
She said: "Some of the suspects made off in a vehicle which was waiting outside the store.
"Another suspect was apprehended in the street by members of the public."
Officers arrested the suspect, who then fell ill at the scene and was taken to Queen's Medical Centre, in Nottingham, where he is in a critical condition.
The 24-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of GBH is in police custody.
A spokesperson from Central England Co-operative said: "The members of staff on duty are unharmed, but they are obviously shaken by the incident and our primary concern is their safety and wellbeing."
An IPCC spokesman added: "We are currently in assessment mode, and have deployed independent investigators to the scene and to the ongoing post incident procedures."
The move was approved by the Supreme Economic Council, which was set up by King Salman this year to replace the Supreme Petroleum Council.
The new 10-member council is headed by the King's son, Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
He was appointed this week as the new deputy crown prince and is regarded as second in line to the throne.
On Wednesday, King Salman appointed Saudi Aramco's chief executive Khalid al-Falih as chairman of the company and health minister as part of a major political reshuffle. He has been replaced by Aramco senior vice-president Amin al-Nasser.
The main facets of Saudi oil policy - including maintaining the ability to stabilise markets by holding extensive reserves and a reluctance to interfere in the market for political reasons - are set by the top members of the ruling royal family.
There are no signs that the move will lead to any significant changes in the way that the world's top oil exporter and de facto Opec leader makes its decisions.
However, separating Aramco from the oil ministry is likely to be just the first step in a shake-up of the Saudi oil sector, according to analysts.
Mohammad al-Sabban, a former senior adviser to Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi, said: "This decision will bring more flexibility to the company to take decisions on a commercial basis, and keep full financial control."
The move could pave the way for a prince to be appointed as the next oil minister to replace 79-year-old Mr al-Naimi.
It had been thought that the royal family regarded the role of oil minister as so important that giving it to a prince could upset the kingdom's delicate balance of power and risk making oil policy hostage to bickering among the many princes.
Earlier this year, King Salman promoted his son, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman - a long-serving member of Saudi Arabia's Opec delegation - to the role of deputy oil minister from assistant oil minister.
Ehsan ul-Haq, oil analyst at KBC Energy Economics, said it was highly likely that Prince Abdulaziz, a son of the King, could be appointed oil minister.
"[Falih's] shift to the health ministry suggests that he might not follow Naimi. His appointment to the chairman of Aramco, on the other hand, is only ceremonial," he said.
Aramco could not be reached for comment.
Former Rangers striker Lafferty, who is being released by Norwich City, has said he would love to return.
"He's been here before and the fans know him very well," said full-back Hodson, who has yet to have a chat about his own future with Caixinha.
"It would be nice to see him here, but that's down to the manager."
Lafferty, who only made 16 appearances for Championship outfit Norwich this season, spent four years in Glasgow after joining for £3m from Burnley, but quit after the club's financial problems in 2012.
"Kyle is a great lad," said 25-year-old Hodson. "He's been performing very well for Northern Ireland, both leading up to the Euros and at the championships.
"He's a goalscorer. He had a great time here.
"I can definitely understand why Kyle says he regrets leaving. Once you're at a big club, you want to stay at a big club.
"Kyle has proven himself wherever he goes. Leading up to the Euros, he was top goalscorer for Northern Ireland.
"He hasn't been playing much football but has still been scoring during this qualifying campaign, so I'm sure there will be a lot of interest in him."
Caixinha has already told out-of-contract defenders Clint Hill and Philippe Senderos they will not be handed new deals following Sunday's final game of the season at St Johnstone.
The Portuguese will hold individual meetings with the rest of his squad this week to spell out whether they have a future under his leadership.
"To be honest, I'm not really thinking about that," said Hodson, who still has two years remaining on his contract.
"There are two games left of the season and they are the most important things at the moment.
"I'm just concentrating on the games, working hard in training and that is my only focus at the moment. Whatever happens, happens.
"We can worry about it at the end of the season once these games are done. My focus is fully on these last two games of the season." | A man who became trapped down a 15ft concrete manhole has been rescued by firefighters in Sixmilecross, County Tyrone.

But maybe they've been looking at the wrong monetary tool and the wrong economy, in respect of what matters to the flows of capital across borders and economic activity.
Because the decision of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) to devalue the yuan by 1.9% will have global ramifications, in the short, medium and long-ish term.
Immediately it will increase the competitiveness of China's exports at a time when the country's economy is growing at its slowest rate for six years - and when many economists fear that the slowdown will become much more painful and acute.
And for all the spur to growth it may give, the devaluation will reawaken concerns that Beijing is still a million miles from having re-engineered the Chinese economy to deliver more balanced growth based on stronger domestic consumer demand.
The weakening of the currency will also put the US Fed on the spot.
In effect China is exporting deflation to the US - and so some will argue that the Fed should find an elegant way to back away from its recent signalling that September will see the first rise in interest rates since the Crash of 2008.
Or to put it another way, in terms of US manufacturers and exporters, Beijing has done the monetary tightening that arguably the US economy needs.
As for the medium term ramifications, China will yet again spark concern in Congress that it engages in unfair trade competition.
Doubtless presidential candidates, especially on the Republican side, will complain more about China's attempt to rebuild export market share than fret about the implications of its seemingly unstoppable slowdown.
In the longer term it is unclear whether the devaluation will set back China's ambitions for the yuan (also known as the RMB) to become a reserve currency, as per the IMF's definition.
IMF economists and central bankers who adjudicate reserve currency status take into account whether a central bank forces devaluations or revaluations in a way that distorts the operation of a free market.
The PBOC is saying that in weakening the yuan overnight it is also moving to a more market-determined exchange rate.
And that may be so, in the sense that in recent weeks all the market pressure on the yuan has been downward - because of the unfortunate fact that the flaws in China's economy have become more and more conspicuous. | The world's investors have been obsessing with when the US Federal Reserve will end the era of near-zero interest rates, as America's economy returns to almost-normal shape. | 33,858,870 | 537 | 44 | false |
Seven men stole £550,000 in a crime spree across England and Scotland in 2015 and 2016.
Some machines were blown up using "powerful explosives" as they caused £160,000 of damage.
At Liverpool Crown Court they were convicted of conspiracy to cause an explosion and burglary. They were given terms of between 10 years and life.
How the gang that blew up cash machines was caught
The gang members mostly came from Merseyside and were caught following a covert police operation.
The court heard they carried out 13 raids between February 2015 and February 2016.
The attacks happened in Sonning Common and Woodstock in Oxfordshire; Alsager and Culcheth in Cheshire; Huyton in Merseyside; Hucclecote in Gloucestershire; Swindon in Wiltshire; Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk; Carnoustie in Angus and Perth; and Aberdeen.
An investigation by Titan, the Northwest Regional Organised Crime Unit, found the gang stole high-powered vehicles to carry out the raids, which they concealed in a special trailer attached to a lorry.
The men slept in hammocks inside the trailer which also had fuel containers to reduce the number of times they had to use petrol stations or motorway services, Merseyside Police said.
In their last raid on a Co-op in Angus in February 2016, the audacious gang sawed through the roller-shutter doors before dragging the ATM out using a Land Rover Defender and straps to steal £16,000.
Westminster MPs only have legislative powers and responsibilities for local government in England.
Child and adult social care, housing, High Street businesses, parking and transport, recycling and rubbish collection, parks and libraries.
They're all services managed to a large extent by local authorities, and funded in part by one-off grants and the likes of council tax, business rates and other fees and charges.
For English local authorities, the rest of the money comes in the form of an annual direct grant from the Treasury.
The current government has cut local government funding overall in real terms but at the same time, it's getting more expensive to dispose of waste, provide social care to an ageing population and employ staff, despite capped pay rises.
Over the past five years there has also been a push for more decisions to be taken locally, particularly on planning and building.
English local government is expected to spend more than £114bn this year - around a quarter of all public spending, according to the government.
The average Band D council tax set by local authorities in England for 2014-15 was £1,468, an increase of 0.9% on the previous year.
Housing starts in 2014 in England were up 10% on 2014 on the previous year - but this figure is 25% below the house-building peak reached in 2007.
From April 2016 the cost of adult social care in England will be capped at £72,000, from the age of 65 onwards. But £230 a week of the costs charged by a care home will not count.
Squaring the circle is only going to get harder - that is, keeping the cost of local government down while the social care bill rises and demand for housing grows, at least in urban areas.
Alongside balancing the books, the next government will be faced with a myriad of options on further devolution to English local authorities.
Options discussed so far include more city mayors, "super-councils" made up of five or six local authorities as in Greater Manchester, and even the revival of the idea of elected regional assemblies.
It's been suggested these bodies could oversee policies such as transport, social care and housing as well as police budgets.
But it's not clear how much of an appetite exists for these changes, earlier versions of which were rejected under Labour in 2004 and under the coalition in 2011.
"Individuals have paid the price of funding reductions, whether it is through seeing their local library close, roads deteriorate or support for young people and families scaled back. These local services need to be adequately funded in the next parliament if they are going to survive the next few years" - Cllr David Sparks, chair of the Local Government Association
"The idea of becoming self-sufficient would in the short term create a far more stable environment - even if the government did a deal with local government that accepted that local resources would decline more than they have up to now" - Professor Tony Travers, London School of Economics

Last weekend one of the most prolific animal dealers in West Africa was found and detained in Guinea.
Prior to the arrest, he had been on the run for four years.
This followed the arrest last month of the dealer's father who was regarded as the key figure in a vast smuggling network spanning the region.
And only a few months ago a year-long BBC News investigation led to the arrests of two traffickers, Ibrahima Traore and his uncle Mohamed, in neighbouring Ivory Coast.
Videos circulating on the black market showed dozens of baby chimpanzees held in a distinctive blue room that served as their holding centre while buyers were sought.
Chimpanzees as a species are listed as endangered because their populations are dwindling in the face of deforestation and poaching but a collapse in their numbers in West Africa means they are described as "critically endangered" there.
It is against international law to seize or sell the chimpanzees but baby chimps are in big demand as pets for wealthy buyers in the Gulf states and Asia and our investigation revealed a flourishing and secret trade.
Our undercover reporter was offered two of the tiny animals for $12,500 each.
A secret network of wildlife traffickers selling baby chimpanzees was exposed by a year-long BBC News investigation.
The two men arrested in Ivory Coast are known to have links with the pair arrested in Guinea, Abdoul Salam Sidibe and his father Abdouramane, who have been accused of shipping hundreds of endangered animals including chimpanzees.
One of the investigators who worked on the case, Mamadou Saidou Barry of the wildlife organisation GALF, working with the Eagle Network, said the Sidibe family operated in five countries and paid as many as 100 poachers to capture chimpanzees.
"This is not the end," he told BBC News, "It is not the final fight but it is one big step, but it is a never-ending battle against wildlife trafficking. "
Guinea has long been regarded as a hotspot for wildlife trafficking and has even been barred from issuing export permits for any shipments of animals under the CITES convention (Convention on International Trading in Endangered Species).
Nearly two years ago, the official in charge of the CITES office in Guinea, Ansoumane Doumbouya, was arrested and later sentenced to 18 months in prison for selling fraudulent export permits to the Traore and Sidibe families, among others.
Last month he was given a presidential pardon and is now out of prison.
The head of the CITES secretariat, John Scanlon, told us that he believes that law enforcement can act as a deterrent.
"Once you arrest them, you prosecute them, you incarcerate them, that message starts to get out , that wildlife crime is not high profit-low risk. The risk is I might go to jail."
Mr Scanlon also confirmed that since our investigation, in which we had managed to buy two fraudulent export permits, warnings had been circulated worldwide to look out for potentially forged documents from Jordan and Liberia.
The permits sold to us were apparently issued by those two countries though the governments of both have denied that the documents were genuine.
In terms of quantity, the illegal trade in chimpanzees is dwarfed by the slaughter of elephants for their tusks or rhinos for their horns.
But capturing a live baby chimpanzee in the jungle involves shooting its mother and many other members of its family as well - up to ten adults are estimated to be killed for each infant chimp seized alive.
The prosecution of the Traores in Ivory Coast is the first ever brought for wildlife trafficking in the country and campaigners say it is evidence of a shift in official attitudes towards the fight against the traffickers.
Dople Claude Soro, chief of staff of the Ministry of Water and Forests, says describes the cae as "important'.
"Those who did these illicit operations - those operations were forbidden and we can see them as a crime. Those people are to be punished."
Our changing attitudes to chimpanzees
'Staggering' extent of great ape trade
Cheetah now 'running for its very survival'
The new focus on wildlife crime is seen as potentially offering a chance to turn the tide on the traffickers though with plenty of risks ahead.
The UK's Africa minister, Tobias Ellwood, visiting Ivory Coast, told me that one key requirement was to improve safeguards for wildlife.
"We are seeing a recognition that more needs to be done but this is a massive problem - many of the places like national parks where these animals are to be protected simply don't have the protection."
Estelle Raballand, an expert in chimpanzees, is hoping to win support for the country to set up its first sanctuary for chimpanzees.
She says that if the Ivorian government has decided to make wildlife trafficking a priority, then it follows that there needs to be capacity to care for the confiscated animals.
"You cannot apply the law unless you have a place to put the chimps, "she says. .
And although she is pleased at the recent wave of arrests, she warns that time is running out.
"We're fighting a war of extinction…if we don't do anything and the rate is continuing, pretty much everyone agrees that in 10 years there will be no more wild chimpanzees in West Africa. And that's terrible."
Since the first reports of our investigation into chimpanzee trafficking just over a month ago, many people have asked about the fate of the baby chimp, Nemley junior, who was rescued in a police operation in Abidjan.
At the time, he was thin and nervous and soon suffered a heavy cold. But with expert support he recovered and has since been putting on weight and becoming more active with brighter eyes and an engaging curiosity.
I watched him guzzling a bottle of infant formula and then clambering over the supports of a trestle table before amusing himself by gently slapping my knee.
He has formed a bond with his keepers, especially one called Charles Aby, who has learned how Nemley junior clamours to be held as much as possible, a natural response for an infant who would normally be with his mother for five years.
So Charles goes about his duties at Abidjan zoo with Nemley clinging to his side.
And the tiny chimp is becoming bolder. As I handed out my BBC business cards at the zoo, Nemley reached for one and promptly started to chew it. At the moment, he's thriving, a survivor of the traffickers and a new icon of the fight against them.

Roald Dahl's cautionary tale definitely deserves its place at the top, according to 11-year-old Tom Lamb, from Shenfield in Essex, who says he reads for about an hour every day.
"It's just quite amusing and exciting to read and not boring or anything. It's a lot of different adventures, not all the same thing," Tom told the BBC.
He particularly liked the way the more obnoxious characters in the book "get paid for what they do".
"We read that with the school and we had to do comprehension over it. It was really good and quite realistic. I can imagine that sort of thing happening.
"I think I liked Tom best because he persevered with stuff and adopted William when everyone wanted him to go to a special home for children."
"I probably will read this. I know she goes into another world. I have seen the movie."
"It was quite strange but quite amusing and exciting. I like the way he wrote it with lots of detail about Matilda's family life."
"I thought it was quite scary but now I think it's quite a funny book.
"It's a very good book - quite short. So not long and boring."
"I haven't read this yet. I definitely know they go into another world and there are lots of different characters and adventures.
"I am quite keen to read it."
"It was quite easy and, when you are younger, quite a fun and enjoyable book to read with lots of good pictures to help younger children to understand what the words mean."
"When I was younger it was really scary but very good. I was very scared at first - but when I read it afterwards I thought it was really funny. It's good the way it makes you pronounce the words again and again."
"I was about seven when I read this. I enjoyed it. It was about something that could have happened to me."
"This was fun. The pictures were really good, they helped you understand the story a bit more."
For Tom the big surprise is that the list does not include a single Harry Potter book.
"I really think they should have been on the list. I am on the last one now. I read it every night. I like the last one best, more than the other ones.
"It's called The Deathly Hallows. The other ones are more about school and stuff. This is about when he's left school and it's a lot more exciting."
The Rainbow's event manual said 78 Security Industry Authority (SIA) staff would be on duty on New Year's Eve - but only 38 worked, a report stated.
Dylan Booth, 18, died after taking a class A pill at the club, said police.
Clubbers' mouths and long hair must be checked for drugs under new conditions imposed by Birmingham City Council.
The licence holder has 21 days to appeal against the changes. The BBC has approached the club's solicitors for comment.

West Midlands Police asked Birmingham City Council to review the Rainbow's two licences due to concerns over "serious crime and disorder".
The authority's licensing sub-committee met on Monday and modified the licences for the Rainbow on Lower Trinity Street and The Arena on Hack Street.
Councillor Barbara Dring said: "These reviews highlighted various concerns relating to the management of the premises, after a number of people who had attended the New Year's Eve event were hospitalised - one of whom died.
"Evidence from West Midlands Police officers revealed the interim steps imposed by this committee on 14 January have proved successful and were seen to be having a positive impact, in particular tougher search protocols and the use of covert security, at The Rainbow venues."
As part of the review, the committee was shown photographs of drugs seized or surrendered at events held at the Rainbow on 5 April and 16 November 2015.
A new drugs policy and undercover SIA staff will be introduced at both venues under the licence conditions.
Random searches will be carried out on shoes, socks, belts and bags.
Staff will be drugs-trained by police and signs will go up warning of the club's zero-tolerance drugs policy.
PC Ben Reader said he had conducted checks at the nightclub since Mr Booth's death.
He said: "I believe each of the interim steps have had a positive impact on the way that the venue has operated in 2016."
It has been included for the first time in the Price of Football study, which analyses the costs at 227 clubs in 13 leagues across the UK.
The league's set £10 admission fee and the average cost of the cheapest season ticket - at £124.73 - is lower than all divisions in England and Scotland.
Ten out of the 12 clubs in the Premiership provided data to the BBC.
Prices from Warrenpoint and Ballymena United were obtained from their club websites.

"The admission charge of £10 allows fans to plan their budget around going to a game each week and is something that our clubs have done for many years now," said Northern Ireland Football League managing director Andrew Johnson.
"In fact the £10 is a maximum charge which allows the clubs flexibility to offer fan promotions for various games throughout the season. I believe it provides excellent value for money."
The Price of Football, now in its fifth year, analyses the cost of the cheapest and most expensive match-day and season tickets, as well as the cost of a pie, programme, cup of tea and adult and junior replica shirts.
In England's Premier League, two thirds of tickets were frozen or reduced in price but the cheapest match-day ticket now costs more than £30.
The Welsh Premier League came out as the cheapest league to watch men's football in the UK, with the average cost of a match-day ticket at £7 and the average cost of the cheapest season ticket at £71.64.

"There is no need for this kind of behaviour," said the Swiss, 30, who withdrew from the match through injury.
"I really hope the ATP will take major action against him this time."
Speaking on court after progressing from the second round in Montreal, Kyrgios claimed he had been provoked by the world number five.
Kyrgios said: "He was getting a bit lippy with me. Kind of in the heat of the moment, I don't know, I just said it."
However, Wawrinka believes the Tour should take action over the latest controversy surrounding Kyrgios, which follows his often-petulant performance at Wimbledon in July.
Kyrgios was booed by the crowd when he appeared to stop trying in the second set of his fourth-round defeat by Richard Gasquet and clashed twice with umpires during the championship.
Wawrinka added: "It's not the first time that he has big problems on court in terms of what he says and in terms of how he acts.
"I hope the governing body does not stand for this."
Kyrgios, who made his big breakthrough when he knocked Rafael Nadal out of Wimbledon in 2014, is expected to play in Australia's Davis Cup semi-final against Great Britain in Glasgow next month.
The UK-assembled vehicle would search for life on the Red Planet by sampling soil drilled from under the surface.
But the project is late, and now needs another €400m (£345m; $430m) to be sure of meeting its launch deadline.
Ministers from the member states of the European Space Agency will discuss the rover’s fate over the next two days.
It is not the only topic on their agenda, as they must review a range of programmes valued in total at some €11bn. However, it is probably the most vexing issue before them.
The so-called ExoMars rover has suffered chronic organisational problems throughout its development history, and has come close to being abandoned on a few occasions.
In May, it was announced that its launch date would slip by a further two years because a number of industrial and scientific teams could not be sure of delivering their hardware on time.
A technical review has just concluded that the project is now running true to its new timeline, but the funds needed to keep it that way are substantial.
Esa’s director-general, Jan Woerner, has taken a hard line in the run-up to the Lucerne gathering.
He has told member states that the only way to proceed with the rover is to give it full and proper financial support. Or none at all. No more "salami funds", as he put it.
"Either we do it or we stop it, and I’m in favour of doing it," he told the BBC last month.
There are a host of other key decisions to come out of the Ministerial Council covering all manner of different satellite projects. But a few headlines are sure to concern human spaceflight.
There will almost certainly be a commitment to stay in the International Space Station project up until at least 2024. This would bring Europe into line with its partners on the orbiting laboratory - the US, Russia, Japan and Canada.
However, in the way that Esa budget cycles work, the money released here in Lucerne will only actually cover activities up to 2021.
Nonetheless, this would be sufficient to trigger new opportunities for European astronauts to fly to the ISS and for European industry to start building a second "service module" for America’s forthcoming crewship known as Orion.
This capsule has been commissioned by the US space agency to take people out into the Solar System to destinations such as Mars.
By constructing its propulsive back end, Europe hopes to get seats on board for its astronauts.
Esa Ministerial Councils occur every two or three years. In common with similar gatherings in other political domains, many of the issues of contention will have been sorted out by officials in preceding days.
But there is sure to be some late, hard bargaining, as member states seek to position their investments in those Esa projects where they think they can get the best return for their industries.
Many of the programmes on offer here are optional, and the agency operates a "juste retour" principle. This means that whatever funds nations put into a satellite project, they broadly get back out in the form of work contracts for their home aerospace and technology companies.
Much of the speculation ahead of these meetings tends to revolve around the spending power each country might be able to bring with it.
In recent weeks, there had been concern that the Norwegian delegation would have its available funds severely curtailed by its government. This worry has now gone away, and it will be making a near-GDP contribution.
And there was uncertainty too over whether the UK's financial position would be weakened by the recent fall in the value of sterling following the Brexit referendum. Again, this issue has receded after the Treasury promised currency support to the British delegation.
The UK should therefore be contributing broadly what it spent at 2014's Ministerial Council.
Note: Esa is a separate legal entity to the EU; and of its 22 full members, two are not in the European Union.
Midfielders Drissa Traore, 24, and Jeremy Balmy, 21, have apologised after being pictured using the legal high, more commonly known as laughing gas.
Full-back Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill, 20, was the third player suspended.
"It's something that I've taken very seriously and that I've been deeply stressed about," boss Williams said.
"As soon as we'd been able to gather enough evidence to see the severity of it, it was an easy decision for me to immediately suspend the players."
Williams also said that the club's investigation into the three players might not be resolved until after Swindon play Bury on Saturday.
"I want us to be on the front pages of the national papers, but for football reasons and not for ill-discipline or anything else, so it's very distressing to me," he told BBC Wiltshire.
"I think it's more important that we address this matter properly rather than panic and bring the players back before we've had a thorough investigation. If that takes longer, it takes longer."
Swindon are 16th in League One, having failed to win any of their last seven games.
Orlando José Figuera suffered burns to 80% of his body after he was engulfed in flames. Officials said he was also stabbed in Saturday's protests.
Witnesses said the crowd had accused the man of being a thief.
On the same day, an opposition activist was shot dead, bringing the total number killed in recent protests to 48.
The attorney general's office said gunmen allegedly opened fire on the demonstrators in the western city of Valera.
Edy Alejandro Teran Aguilar died from a gunshot wound to the chest, while two others were wounded.
Protesters demanding President Maduro step down and hold elections took to the streets across the country on Saturday to mark the 50th day of the increasingly violent demonstrations which have overwhelmed the country in recent weeks.
"A person was set on fire, beaten up, stabbed... They nearly lynched him, just because he shouted out that he was a 'Chavista'," President Maduro said, referring to the ruling Socialist movement set up by his predecessor Hugo Chavez.
Speaking on his weekly TV programme, Mr Maduro described it as "a hate crime and a crime against humanity".
It is thought 46 people were injured in the demonstration in eastern Caracas where Mr Figuera, 21, was hurt.
Journalist and politician Earle Herrera said the man had been accused of being a thief, according to Globo.com [in Spanish].
Venezuelan Information Minister Ernesto Villegas tweeted it was "growing insanity".
"A human being is set on fire at a 'peaceful demonstration' by the opposition in Caracas," he wrote, posting a video of the incident.
Protests have been taking place across Venezuela for seven weeks, as anger towards Mr Maduro and his government rises.
Seven in 10 people are said to oppose Mr Maduro, according to private surveys.
Despite having the world's largest known oil reserves, Venezuela is facing a shortage of many basic items, including food and medicines.
Its economy has collapsed, with inflation expected to top 700% this year, and crime is rampant.
The opposition is calling for early elections and the release of opposition politicians jailed in recent years, saying the socialist governments of Mr Maduro and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez, have mismanaged the economy since coming to power in 1999.
The person was knocked to the ground on the footpath on Etna Road, near Mandela Avenue, at 17:00 on Saturday.

Arca, 36, played 317 league games but never made it to the national stadium during his professional career.
However, he scored to help South Shields to a 6-1 aggregate Vase semi-final victory over Coleshill Town.
"It's a personal dream," the Argentine playmaker told BBC Newcastle.
"We did it and everyone deserves it at the club - the manager, the players and the people behind us who worked really hard to have a quality ground."
Shields almost did not make it past the fourth round, but for a floodlight failure which forced the abandonment of the tie against holders Morpeth at a time when they were 4-2 down with nine minutes remaining.
They convincingly won the rescheduled fixture 4-0 and followed up 5-2 and 6-1 victories against Team Solent and Newport Pagnell with another high-scoring success against Coleshill on home turf.
Arca's spectacular strike added to goals from Gavin Cogdon, Carl Finnigan and David Foley to ensure comfortable progress to the final.
Shields' cross-Tyne rivals North Shields won the FA Vase at Wembley in 2015, beating Glossop North End 2-1 in extra-time.
South Shields can emulate that feat, and continue the Northern League's remarkable record in the Vase, with member clubs winning seven of the past eight finals.
"I think that was the dream day, everything went our way," Arca added.
"We're in the final, but it's only half of the job done. We achieved something fantastic for the club."
The 22-year-old scored his first City goal in Cardiff's 1-0 win over Burton, but will now be unable to move to another club this season.
Healey can not play for a third side in the same season due to Football League regulations, having spent four months on loan at Newport County.
I am afraid I was a bit selfish today," Warnock told BBC Wales Sport.
"I was tempted not to use him, because by using him means he can't go out on loan now, because of that rule about two teams.
"He's really worked hard this season and he has played a lot of games at Newport.
"I didn't want to spoil it, but I have no regrets about it."
Warnock felt Healey, who was spotted by Cardiff playing in the Welsh Premier League for Connah's Quay Nomads, has earned his opportunity,
"I've watched him twice myself and the lads have watched him and believe it or not, it was probably his finishing that let him down a little bit at Newport," Warnock explained.
"When he came on he was a threat, he was a nuisance and to get his first goal is fabulous for him.
"He's done well in training. He's made himself a nuisance. I thought he was good enough to come on and he got his reward.
"He won't be going anywhere now, he's stuck with us whether he likes it or not.
"The goal will give him a lift and nothing fazes him. I told him to enjoy it and he did and it was lovely to see the lad get a round of applause in the dressing room.
Warnock says the scrappy nature of the win over Burton made him cherish the three points all the more,
"That is probably the best three points since I have been at the club," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"As a manager, these are the best wins ever. The wins like this where it is a scrappy horrible game."
He said the pressure of officiating the 2015 final was nothing compared to accepting his homosexuality.
The Welsh referee suffered from bulimia and attempted suicide because being gay felt "totally alien" to him.
Owens, the first openly gay man to officiate at the highest level of the game, revealed his sexuality in 2007.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, he said: "Refereeing that World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand in front of 85,000 people and the millions of people watching at home, scrutinising every single decision you make under a huge amount of pressure, was nothing compared to the challenge of accepting who I was."
Owens, 45, said he "would have done anything to be 'normal' in people's eyes".
The referee, who grew up in a village in Carmarthenshire, Wales, developed bulimia and later became hooked on steroids when he started going to the gym.
He described how he went to a doctor and said: "l do not want to be gay. Can I get chemically castrated?"
Seek help on homophobic abuse, says ref
B'I could have well finished refereeing'
At the age of 34, Owens told his mother, Mair, he was gay.
He said his father, Geraint, found the revelation "difficult at first", but added: "My love for him and his love for me has not changed one bit."
Owen said he has received huge support from the Welsh Rugby Union and feels he has been given a "second chance".
He went on to say: "Unless you are happy with who you are, you cannot excel and be the best you can be at whatever you are doing. You cannot enjoy life if you are not happy within yourself."
Owen's full interview can be heard on Desert Island Discs at 11:15 GMT on Sunday.
A "Green Paper" document was a "serious idea" but was dropped, sources told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
Downing Street denied the publication of a Green Paper was ever part of its plan.
Ministers are facing pressure to set out what they want to achieve from the talks with the EU before formally triggering Brexit by the end of March.
Prime Minister Theresa May has repeatedly refused to give a "running commentary" on the talks.
But sources told the BBC the government had planned to produce a Green Paper - a consultation document setting out policy proposals - in the Autumn.
"We were told there would be one in October," one source said, adding that the financial sector had been asked to provide "a data dump and a shopping list" by the end of September in order to facilitate the process.
A separate source said they had been briefed by government officials that the Green Paper "was expected late September", while another added: "It's gone away - the only thing they agree on is so high level that there would only be one page...I'm not sure that there is a coherent plan."
But a Downing Street source said the claims were "tosh".
In July, shortly before he was appointed as Brexit secretary, Conservative Leave campaigner David Davis wrote an article calling on the government to publish a White Paper policy document before the negotiations had started.
In the Commons on Monday, Labour MPs asked Mr Davis what had happened to the "promised" publication, with the minister replying that he had been expressing his thoughts as a backbench MP.
"There will be plenty of debates on this matter," he said.
"What we will not do is lay out a detailed strategy and a detailed set of tactics before we engage with our opposite numbers in the negotiation."
MPs from across the House called for a Commons vote before the start of negotiations.
They included ex-Labour leader Ed Miliband, who said Parliament should be given a say because the referendum had not specified a "particular type of Brexit".
But their demands were rejected by the government, with Downing Street saying there would be no "vote to second-guess the will of the British people".
The UK voted to end its EU membership by 51.9% to 48.1% in a referendum on 23 June.
The jury for the latest case had been selected but a deal was done in the early hours of the day the US trial was to begin, according to news site Ars Technica.
Unwired Planet had sought $33m (£25.7m) and a cut of iPhone and iPad sales, which it said made use of its tech.
The terms of the settlement have not been made public.
Apple had previously described the case - involving voice recognition and data transmission inventions - as being "frivolous".
Nevada-based Unwired used to develop mobile software, when it was known as Openwave Systems, but no longer makes products of its own.
It acquired the rights to the inventions involved in the case from Ericsson in a controversial deal. Rather than purchase the technologies outright, Unwired instead agreed to share future revenues generated from the patents with the Swedish telecoms equipment-maker.
That has led some to describe Unwired as a "patent troll" - although the firm's legal team described the term as "hackneyed".
"Our ambition is to bring efficiency and fairness to patent licensing and create a marketplace where product manufacturers and innovators feel confident that high quality technology is available at a fair and reasonable price," a spokeswoman for PanOptis Patent Management, which recently bought Unwired's licensing business, told the BBC.
"Over the past nine months since we acquired the Unwired Planet patent portfolio, we have actively resolved a majority of the existing litigation that had been initiated by Unwired Planet, including suits involving Samsung, LG and Apple."
Earlier this month, the firm scored a court victory over Huawei in London.
The Chinese company was ordered to pay a global fee for use of Unwired's 4G patents or face a UK sales ban.
Unwired previously won a case against Samsung involving 2G technologies.
It is also involved in disputes with Google and HTC.
The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) upheld 12 charges against former Fife social worker Lesley Bate, involving Liam and 14 other children.
In a number of cases, including Liam, the panel found her failings amounted to neglect of the children.
Mrs Bate, 60, had denied all the charges.
The SSSC hearing had heard the social worker was "disorganised and chaotic".
Panel members were told Mrs Bate showed "no regard for vulnerable groups".
She had failed to carry out risk assessments and she had not kept clear and accurate records.
The panel was told the misconduct was of the most serious kind over a sustained period of time.
Mrs Bate chose not to appear before the conduct sub-committee, which heard she had now relinquished her social work registration.
One of the cases involved Liam Fee whose mother Rachel Trelfa, 31, and her civil partner Nyomi Fee, 29, were found guilty of murdering the toddler at a house near Glenrothes in Fife on 22 March 2014.
He had suffered a ruptured heart as a result of severe blunt force trauma to his body.
Rachel Trelfa was ordered to spend a minimum of 23-and-a-half years in jail and Nyomi Fee, a minimum of 24 years.
The couple, originally from Ryton in Tyne and Wear, denied killing Liam, and instead blamed his death on another young boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
The hearing heard that Liam's childminder, Heather Farmer, first raised concerns with Fife social workers in January 2013, when she saw the toddler had injuries including a large bruise on his forehead.
Ms Farmer was worried he may have been knocked unconscious. A month later she raised further concerns about a neck injury.
Lesley Bate visited Liam's home after the first injury as part of Fife Council's child protection team based in Glenrothes.
Liam's mother Rachel Trelfa told her the toddler had fallen out of his cot. The misconduct sub-committee was told Mrs Bate accepted that and recommended no further involvement by social work.
Mrs Bate was accused of failing 15 children over a 33-month period between December 2011 and August 2014, with the charges against her running to five pages.
In a statement, Fife Council said: "While we cannot discuss the details of current or former employees, we would reassure that the practice highlighted in this case is historic in nature and was dealt with robustly at the time.
"The case was first reported by the council to the SSSC over three years ago and this week's hearing is the conclusion of that referral.
"This case does not reflect our current practice or the high standard of professionalism which we expect and receive from our social work staff."

Greenock Morton's Warren Hawke competes in Iron Man endurance events in his spare time.
Yet, he reckons being the club's new chief executive will be more of a challenge.
"With the Iron Man, it's me against me and not many people know whether I could have gone a bit quicker," Hawke told BBC Scotland.
"At a football club it's open, everybody is going to see what is going on.
"Being a footballer gives you thick skin, and then getting the mental toughness as well with the endurance events. There's a link there that I hadn't really thought about."
Hawke scored 53 goals in 247 appearances for the Cappielow club as a striker and was eager to maintain a physical edge when he retired in 2005.
"At the end of a football career, all of a sudden you've got a big void there; a physical void," explained the 46-year-old.
"The endurance events are my escape; it's my stress relief. People ask why I don't just read a book or go for a pint but I just find it's my best way of relaxing.
"I enjoy challenging myself so I'm sure there will be another crazy caper on the agenda moving forward."
Durham-born Hawke grew up a Sunderland fan and admits to having to check on a map where Greenock was when Morton showed interest him in 1995, but since then his life has been laced with what goes on in and around the Inverclyde club.
"When you get up here and play for the club it gets under your skin," he said.
"It's great to have the affection with the supporters from my playing days and to come back and work with the youth academy and the community trust.
"Then to be given this big job is a great honour and I've got to thank the board and chairman Douglas Rae who has been fantastic for me. Hopefully I can repay that in this new role."
Under the guidance of manager Jim Duffy - another former Ton player - Morton are flying high in third in the Championship.
Hawke believes the Cappielow men are more than capable of a surprise promotion to the Premiership but, in terms of the club's infrastructure, does he believe they are a top flight team in waiting?
"I'll be honest - not at the minute," said Hawke, who classes Derek Lilley and Alex Williams as the best strike-force he saw at the club during his playing days.
"We have the potential to be a Scottish top-tier club, but we have things we need to do behind the scenes.
"Over the past few years we've done some very good foundations and they are ultimately going to build up the way to give us that position where we are that established top tier club.
"We've got the aspiration for where this football club needs to be in five years' time. That's not just about the first team, it's about our commercial department, our stadium, our community programme and our youth academy - it's across all areas.
"It's not going to be crunch decisions without negotiation or without speaking to people. The biggest thing I can say to supporters is that I want the football club to be there - that's my number one priority.
"We need to be in a position where we are financially sustainable year on year."
Given his athletic antics, no doubt sustenance is something Hawke specialises in.
Murals on former BHS stores in Hull and Stockport and Holborn Library in London are featured on the Twentieth Century Society's Buildings at Risk List.
Catherine Croft, director of the society, said she wanted to see the buildings being brought back into use.
"[They] should enrich our lives and those of future generations," she said.
"We are witnessing the death of idealism and public spiritedness which underpinned so much of the best architecture of the 20th Century," she added.
The society said the list served to show how severe the threat to the period's architecture was. Examples highlighted in previous years' lists have been protected, it added - such as St Peter's Seminary at Cardross and the Western Morning News headquarters in Plymouth.
Buildings on this year's register are:
Dunelm House in Durham was built between 1964 and 1966 by the River Wear. It is a five-level students' union building which won both a Civic Trust award and the RIBA Bronze Medal for 1966. An application for it to be Grade II listed was turned down by the Secretary of State, a decision which is being appealed against by the Twentieth Century Society.
The distinctive Three Ships mural on Hull's former British Home Stores (BHS) building is a mosaic of about one million tiny cubes of Italian glass. It is feared that as it is not listed, its future could depend on what happened to the currently empty building. It is in muted colours, unlike the brightly-coloured mosaic in Stockport, Greater Manchester, which shows the history of the town across six centuries.
The Manchester Reform Synagogue is under threat from plans submitted by former Manchester United players Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville. The 1953 synagogue - along with the former Bootle Street Police Station - would be bulldozed and rebuilt near Manchester Town Hall under the plans for a tower block featuring a five-star hotel, apartments, offices and restaurants.
The low-rise estate of Central Hill, London, has been called "one of London's most exceptional and progressive post-war housing estates" by the Twentieth Century Society.
Coventry's The Elephant sports centre was built in 1977 and represents the city's "elephant" coat of arms. Both the Elephant and its neighbouring swimming baths, built in 1966, are under threat following Coventry Council's decision to close the centre and replace it with a £37m leisure centre.
High Cross House in Devon was built in 1932 as a home for the headmaster of the nearby progressive Dartington Hall School. It fell into disrepair in 1987 but was renovated and opened by the National Trust in 1995, heralded as one of the finest examples of a Modernist home in the UK. It closed less than two years later, as the trust said it had low visitor numbers.
Cumberbatch North and South Buildings in Oxford are student accommodation buildings. A planning application is expected to be made soon which the 20th Century Society will campaign against.
St Leonards Church was hit by a doodlebug in 1944, and rebuilt in a dramatic modernistic Gothic Revival style. It is currently closed amid concerns of subsidence and its structural condition.
60 Hornton Street in West Kensington is threatened with complete demolition and replacement by another domestic dwelling. It features a lift and spiral staircase to all floors which was praised in 1971 for its "fixed section and spatial attitude" by Architectural Review.
Holborn Library was the first large, multi-functional, post-war library in London and had pioneering architecture at the time. Plans are currently under way to remodel the library and redevelop it into studio spaces and new homes.
The 22-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the Wiltshire club.
He helped Forest Green Rovers clinch promotion last term with 16 National League appearances in a half-season loan deal, and Rovers were interested in signing him on a permanent basis.
"I got a promotion last year and I came here to get another one," Woolery told Swindon's club website.
The former Notts County loanee made one league appearance for the Latics after signing on a free transfer from Bolton in 2016.

He had been indicted in connection with post-election ethnic violence in 2007-08, in which 1,200 people died.
Here is the story - in 15 seconds.
Quinn Building Products Ltd has been fined £100,000 for health and safety breaches which led to the death of Brian Óg Maguire, 24, from Lisnaskea.
He was hit by a steel cable that snapped at the Quinn concrete factory in Derrylin on 13 September 2012.
The company said "significant changes" had since been implemented.
Quinn Building Products Ltd, which has been sold to a new owner since the accident, pleaded guilty in August to failing to ensure the safety of an employee, and failing to maintain work equipment.
Mr Maguire was a senior Fermanagh GAA football player who had helped his club, Lisnaskea Emmetts, reach their first Fermanagh senior club final since 1996.
His parents, Brian and Eileen Maguire, told the BBC: "The penalty imposed on the company responsible for the death of Brian Og is of very little relevance to us nor will it ease in any way the desperate situation we have been left in.
"For them it may be over today, but for us it will go on forever. "
Judge Paul Ramsey said it was a "difficult and heartbreaking case" and referred to the "poignant tributes" to the deceased in the victim impact statements.
He said three witnesses standing nearby when the accident happened had referred to previous incidents where wires had come loose.
The judge said there was a "culture of acceptance that this type of mishap was an occupational hazard".
He said because no-one was hurt these incidents went unrecorded and unreported and the company had failed to "heed the warnings of near misses".
Omagh Crown Court was told that this was not the first time a steel cable had snapped, but the company had kept no records of previous incidents.
A prosecution lawyer said there was no proper cleaning regime and a failure to replace worn equipment.
He said Brian Óg Maguire had been "terribly unlucky", but the breaches of Health and Safety legislation by the company had caused his death.
A barrister representing Quinn Building Products said Brian Óg Maguire had been standing in a mesh safety cage when the cable snapped and whipped backwards.
He said it was the first time a steel rope had snapped in this way before, describing what happened as a "perfect storm that no one ever envisaged".
The barrister said the company had accepted responsibility for what he described as "a freakish accident" and had taken "significant steps to enhance safety procedures" so that a "similar, tragic accident could not happen".
Brian and Eileen Maguire said "if the proper health and safety procedures had been in place our son would be alive today".
"Far from being a 'freak accident' it was an accident waiting to happen," they added.
"The loss of my beloved Brian Óg is something I will never come to terms with," Mrs Maguire said.
"The horror of what happened to him will haunt me every day for the rest of my life.
"The fact that it could have been prevented makes it even harder to take."
The company must also pay costs of £7,712.
In a statement on Thursday, it said: "Although not involved in the business at the time of accident, the company's directors accept the shortcomings that existed at that time.
"Brian's death remains a tragic loss to his family, his community and his work-colleagues, and he is sadly missed by all his friends throughout the business.
"Since taking control of the business, Quinn Building Products Limited has worked closely with the Health and Safety Executive and implemented significant changes to work practices, and continues to make every possible effort to ensure that no such incident occurs again."
Louis Burns, an inspector with Health and Safety Executive, said: "Whilst the steel rope behaved in a somewhat unexpected manner when it came adrift, it is clear that the company had not implemented a robust system to manage, inspect and maintain safety critical equipment in this high risk industry.
"This tragic incident was avoidable and it is hard to overstate the potential for death or serious injury arising from poor maintenance.
"Care must be taken to properly identify safety for critical items in any process and to ensure that the correct people, equipment and systems of work are provided to maintain these. It wasn't on this occasion and a life was needlessly lost as a result."
Quinn Industrial Holdings Limited (QIHL) acquired the construction industry supply (CIS) and packaging businesses of the former Quinn Group in December 2014.
Figures released last month by the Health and Safety Executive revealed a significant increase in workplace deaths from eight in 2013/14 to 23 last year, higher than the last five-year average of 15 deaths per year.
Firefighters resuscitated two dogs after the blaze at a house on Kenyon Way in Little Hulton which began at about 19:00 on Sunday.
The revived dogs, one of which was a puppy, were brought back to life by giving them oxygen and massaging their hearts.
Eight people in the house, two parents and six children escaped unhurt.
Fire crews from Farnworth and Atherton attended the scene.
Watch Manager John Duffin from said: "There was a severe fire at the side of the property with flames reaching the top of the house.
"The dogs were in a range of garden sheds and kennels and other wooden structures. The neighbour was doing a sterling job out the back with a hosepipe and rescued four of five dogs before we arrived."
He said it was unusual for crews to administer oxygen to animals.
"We normally do CPR and first aid on humans but we managed to revive two dogs that were not breathing.
"It is similar to the actions you perform on humans. We put oxygen on the dogs and one of the firefighters actually massaged the heart of one of the dogs which had stopped breathing."
Fire investigators believed the blaze began in a kennel in the back garden.
Mr Duffin said: "We think it was a heat lamp and there was a young dog in one of the cages who was a jumper and we think the dog was jumping up and down in the kennel and knocked the heat lamp onto the straw on the floor.
"The kennels and sheds are totally destroyed. It is a mess. Fire always leaves devastation behind and the family is obviously upset and the neighbours."
Denis Donaldson was murdered in County Donegal in April 2006, months after being exposed as an agent who worked for the police and MI5 for 20 years.
He was once a key figure in Sinn Féin's rise in Northern Ireland politics.
The coroner adjourned the inquest until a separate criminal investigation is concluded. The inquest has previously been adjourned at least 19 times.
Gardai Superintendent (Supt) Michael Finan told the coroner on Wednesday that a "continuing, active, significant investigation" was ongoing.
He said an individual who had already appeared before the courts was due back in the Special Criminal Court in October and three arrests had been made in the last four months.
Supt Finan said there was a "continuing fruitful liaison" with an external police force.
The coroner said he believed there had never been so many adjournments in a coroner's court.
"Hopefully, the investigation will have a result and we will get justice for the family", he added.
A barrister said he echoed the coroner's sentiments and added that the family's quest for justice had never been forgotten.
No one from the Donaldson family was present, nor was the family's legal representation there.
Last month a 74-year-old man appeared in court in Dublin accused of withholding information about Mr Donaldson's murder.
Mr Donaldson, 55, was shot dead at an isolated cottage near Glenties.
Three years after he was killed, the dissident republican Real IRA said they were responsible.
Mr Donaldson's family have alleged that police officers who knew about his secret role may have exposed him as an agent and contributed to his death.
The Future of Transport in an Ageing Society was compiled by think tank The International Longevity Centre - UK (ILC-UK) and charity Age UK.
It says millions of older people are faced with travel problems.
More than half of over-65s either never use public transport or use it less than once a month, despite being eligible for free bus travel, it says.
Age UK said the transport system was not currently meeting the needs of the growing ageing population.
The report also claims it is the oldest, those in poor health and those living in rural areas who are let down the most by public transport.
Its findings include:
The report calls for older people to be supported in driving for longer, with viable alternative transport options to be made available for those who are unable to drive.
And it says research by Age UK shows that health problems are more likely than age alone to lead to people giving up driving.
It claims only 1% of people aged 60 or older, who were surveyed by the charity, would give up driving because of their age, while 43% would stop driving due to health concerns.
Helen Creighton of ILC-UK said travel was essential for independent living, and had benefits for people's physical health and mental wellbeing in later life.
"This report, which highlights the travel difficulties facing older people, emphasises the need to adapt our transport system to meet the demands of our ageing society," she says.
Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, said the report should be "a wake-up call" and that it was worrying how many older people were struggling to reach a hospital or their local GP.
She added: "It is crucial that older people are able to get out and about, especially as the evidence shows this helps them retain their health and independence for longer.
"The bus pass is an absolute lifeline for many who would otherwise be stranded at home and is utterly essential, but the truth is it's not enough on its own to enable older people to stay mobile.
"For example, better transport planning and more imaginative use of volunteers could make a big difference today, and in the medium term driverless cars and other technological innovations could be real game changers."
The little girl, who has yet to be given a name, was born at 00:14.
She weighed in at 7lb 13oz. Both she and her mother, Kerry Docherty from Paisley, are reported to be doing well.
Elsewhere in Scotland, a boy was born at Forth Valley Royal Hospital at 03:30. Stacey and Jamie Pryde from Tillicoultry's son Flynn arrived weighing 7lb 9oz.
Matt Brittin, the head of Google's Europe, Middle East and Africa business, said the conditions for success in the UK were now better than in 2010, when David Cameron said the founders of the tech giant believed they could never have built their company in Britain.
"I think it is getting better all the time, the conditions for big tech success here in the UK," Mr Brittin told me.
He said that although the vote to leave the European Union had caused uncertainty, it was a "local" issue and the government should concentrate on creating the right conditions for entrepreneurs to flourish globally.
"I think clearly there is uncertainty, and that is never helpful for investment," he told me.
"But in the big scheme of things the major trend that is happening is that the internet population is doubling from 2.7bn people to over 5bn people in a four to five year period.
"That is the trend entrepreneurs need to be paying attention to - and ultimately I am sure the government will sort out solutions for the local issues around Brexit.
"The thing entrepreneurs need to be doing is investing in that huge change globally because we're already world leaders in Britain - we're a big net exporter [in technology], we're creating jobs growth and opportunity through entrepreneurs today and they need to seize that opportunity now and not be distracted by short-term turmoil or uncertainty the markets are seeing."
Mr Brittin said it was vital that talent in the technology industry could move freely between different countries and a "consistent rule book" existed for as many countries as possible.
The European Union has been criticised for not moving more quickly towards a digital single market.

Woodford: Start-up funding 'appalling'
"It is important for every company to be able to sell their product and services around the world," Mr Brittin said.
"It is easier if the rule book is consistent in more countries, and the single market project is not complete in Europe so there is still a lot of work to do."
Despite concerns raised over recent takeovers by foreign firms of British businesses - such as Japanese Softbank's takeover of Arm, which designs computer chips - Mr Brittin said it was not a good idea for the government to intervene.
"I think the dynamic global economy is one where investment from all sources should be welcomed - it is for founders and decision makers to decide the best options," he said.
"If you restrict financing options, investment options, in one area it makes it a less healthy market."
The Google president argued the UK had good conditions for fast-growing technology companies.
"You need entrepreneurs, skills and finance," he said, when I asked him what was necessary for success.
"My sense is we have amazing skills. Google employs 4,000 plus people in the UK, they are as good as anywhere in the world.
"Access to finance is getting better and better.
"I think the entrepreneurial piece is the one we can learn from Silicon Valley, and the appetite for risk and the ambition to do something big.
"If you start a company in Silicon Valley five years ago you are thinking about reaching the US population - 300 million.
"If you start in the UK you're reaching the national population - 60 million.
"Everybody should think, when you're starting a tech company, you can reach the entire world because that's the way things are moving."
Authorities have already threatened to block the app, founded by Russian businessman Pavel Durov, for refusing to sign up to new data laws.
Mr Durov has refused to let regulators access encrypted messages on the app.
Telegram has some 100 million users and has been used by so-called Islamic State (IS) and its supporters.
IS used the app to declare its involvement in the jihadist attack on and around London Bridge in the UK last month.
Telegram has been used by jihadists in France and the Middle East too, although the app company has highlighted its efforts to close down pro-IS channels. Telegram allows groups of up to 5,000 people to send messages, documents, videos and pictures without charge and with complete encryption.
Now the FSB has said that as part of its investigation into the St Petersburg attack it "received reliable information about the use of Telegram by the suicide bomber, his accomplices and their mastermind abroad to conceal their criminal plots at all the stages of preparation for the terrorist attack".
A Russian identified as Akbarzhon Jalilov blew himself up between two underground stations on 3 April. The security agency said that Telegram was the messenger of choice for "international terrorist organisations in Russia" because they could chat secretly with high levels of encryption.
The FSB's revelation made no mention of a threat on Friday by Russia's communications regulator Roskomnadzor to block the app over its failure to register Telegram as a disseminator of information in Russia. By registering, the company would have to store the past six months' of users' data in Russia.
Russia is threatening to ban the Telegram after its founder refused to co-operate with the country's security services.
Mr Durov was also founder and CEO of Russia's most popular social network VKontakte (VK). But in 2014 he was forced out of the company after refusing to hand over user data to the security services. He left Russia shortly afterwards.
Telegram has been gaining in popularity as a news-sharing platform in Russia's tightly controlled media environment, and some fear that banning it would further restrict freedom of speech there.
Social media users have suggested that it is absurd to try to ban something useful just because it is being misused by criminals. "Terrorists use physics and chemistry. Let's ban physics and chemistry," quipped one Tweet.
Mr Durov has complained that the regulator also asked Telegram to hand over encryption keys so they can read users' correspondence to catch jihadists.
He argues that it would be against the Russian constitution and the owners do not have access to the encryption keys anyway.
Several internet companies have been criticised beyond Russia for allowing jihadists to spread material about bomb-making and incitement.
Last week, the European Union's 28 leaders agreed to put legal pressure on internet giants like Google, Twitter and Facebook to remove jihadist content more quickly and to develop tools to help detect incitement to terrorism online.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up 0.91% at 18,308.15, while Deutsche Bank itself was up 14%.
Deutsche Bank is facing a $14bn fine handed down by US Department of Justice for mis-selling mortgage-backed securities during the financial crisis.
Deutsche Bank's ability to pay the fine has caused considerable concern and led to big falls in the company's shares.
On Thursday, its Wall Street-listed shares fell by nearly 7% following a report that some hedge funds had withdrawn money from the bank.
It continued dropping on Friday before unconfirmed reports said the bank was close to agreeing a reduction in the fine to $5.4bn.
Also on Friday, the more tech-heavy Nasdaq was up 0.81% at 5,312.00 and the broader S&P 500 index was 0.80% higher at 2,168.27. | Members of a gang which blew up cash machines at banks and supermarkets have been jailed.

Alpamare Scarborough had been due to open on Thursday in North Bay but was put back so a new part could be fitted.
It includes indoor and outdoor pools, waterslides and a spa, and is part of the £150m Sands development in the North Yorkshire seaside town.
Park plans were first proposed in 2005 but have faced several set-backs.
The work, halted by developers Benchmark Leisure in 2009 because of the economic downturn, got a loan of £9m from Scarborough Borough Council.
The water attraction, predicted to attract about 500,000 visitors a year, is built on a 13 hectare site of the Burniston Road car park.
In September 2013, the council decided by a single vote to provide the loan for the park.
Pegida announced the measure shortly before police said the threat was "concrete" and no demonstrations would be allowed in Dresden on Monday.
Pegida has held a series of rallies, attracting record numbers last week.
Similar protests have taken place elsewhere in the country and have been condemned by German leaders.
Writing on its Facebook page, Pegida said it had no choice but to cancel the rally to ensure protesters' safety.
It urged supporters to hang flags out of their windows and light candles instead.
Meanwhile in the western city of Essen about 50 demonstrators from the far-right Hooligans Against Salafists group (Hogesa) were outnumbered by more than 2,000 counter-protesters on Sunday.
The Hogesa demonstration was banned by police and those attending were detained.
German magazine Der Spiegel reported on Friday that intelligence agencies had intercepted messages from known jihadists planning strikes against the group.
Pegida last week defied calls from German leaders to stay at home, following the deadly attacks by Islamists in France.
Justice Minister Heiko Maas urged organisers not to "misuse" the attacks.
However the rally went ahead, with a record 25,000 people attending in Dresden.
Anti-Pegida rallies drew tens of thousands in Dresden, Leipzig, Munich and Hanover.
What is Pegida?
The fighting has spread to 21 out of 22 of the country's provinces and shows no sign of ending. Almost 1.5 million people have been displaced.
The destruction of infrastructure and a naval blockade by a Saudi-led coalition carrying out air strikes against the rebels have led to 21 million people - 80% of the population - being deprived of life-sustaining commodities and services.
The BBC spoke to a resident in Yemen each day, between Monday and Friday, to find out what is life like under the current circumstances.
Ahmad Murgim lives in the capital, Sanaa. He has witnessed air strikes almost every day. "It's our normality," he says.
Abu Al Anwar Salim Ajjar lives in the northern city of Hajjah and says a friend's wife who had cancer died because of a shortage of medicine.
Badri Al Hasani lives in the Red Sea port city of Hudaydah. He says people are luck to get an hour of electricity each day. "Darkness. That's what I feel," he adds.
Sami Al Jabri is a resident of Dhamar, in the south. He complains that there is chronic lack of food. "Sometimes we just pick things from the trees to eat," he says.
Ali Ahmad lives in Taiz, a southern city that has seen fierce fighting in recent weeks. "For us, the future is lost. There is no hope," he says.

Police said the arrested man had identified the location of two bodies.
Earlier detectives suggested two people had been found, but later confirmed searches are continuing.
Miss O'Callaghan, 22, was last seen leaving Suju nightclub in Swindon on Saturday.
Members of her family have been informed of the discovery of her body and are said to be "deeply distressed".
Det Supt Steve Fulcher said: "A 47-year-old man from Swindon is in custody, having been arrested for kidnap and two murders.
"The location of two bodies have been identified to me by this individual, one of whom has yet to be identified formally, but I am quite clear is Sian.
"I have informed Sian's family, who are obviously deeply distressed."
He added: "I want to recover these people and give them the dignity they deserve."
Later, a statement from Wiltshire Police said: "The location of two bodies has been identified to the senior investigating officer, only one body has currently been found and this is believed to be Sian O'Callaghan.
"The second body has yet to be recovered."
On Thursday morning police arrested a man at an Asda supermarket in north Swindon's Orbital Centre.
Later in the afternoon police vans arrived at a house in Ashbury Avenue, Swindon, and a white tent was put up in the front garden.
Officers are searching inside and outside the property and removing items to a nearby van.
Detectives are also searching a second location between Ashbury and Letcombe Regis, some seven miles east of Swindon and close to the Uffington White Horse, in Oxfordshire.
An area of the road and the verge has been sealed-off and is being guarded by a number of police officers.
Angus Tucker, the landlord at the Blowing Stone pub in Kingston Lisle, some five miles east of Ashbury, said customers had told him a section of the B4507 was cordoned off.
"I'm told there are quite a few police around," he added.
Detectives revealed earlier this week that phone records put office administrator Miss O'Callaghan's mobile somewhere in Savernake Forest, near Marlborough, 34 minutes after she left the nightclub - a journey they said could only have been made by car.
Miss O'Callaghan was caught on CCTV leaving Suju, in Swindon's Old Town area, after an evening out with female friends.
She lived in a flat half a mile away with her boyfriend Kevin Reape, 25.
Mr Reape, who had spent the day at Cheltenham races, raised the alarm on Saturday morning when she did not return to their flat.
The 30-year-old Spain international suffered a knee injury in the Gunners' 1-1 draw at Norwich last Sunday.
The club are already without midfield colleague Francis Coquelin for about three months following a knee ligament injury.
However, defender Laurent Koscielny and forward Theo Walcott could return to face Sunderland on Saturday.
Alexis Sanchez is out with a hamstring injury he suffered at Norwich, with Wenger defending his decision to play the Chile international against Norwich last weekend.
Sanchez had suffered a minor hamstring problem against Dinamo Zagreb in their previous game but had said he was fit to play.
Wenger told Arsenal's pre-match press conference on Friday: "Sanchez had four weeks' holiday [after the Copa America]. He was tested in some games, had all the sports science to play.
"No-one suggested he could injure a hamstring or back when he was pushed into a camera [pit]. That shocked everyone.
"I am not expert enough, but if you want to blame me, no problems."
Filmmaker Andrew Jenkins, 52, from Blaenau Gwent, plans to make an educational film about the issue.
This comes as the latest figures show a sharp rise in suicide rates in Wales, particularly among men.
In 2013, 393 suicides were recorded in Wales, up from 334 in 2012.
The number of men taking their own lives has risen from 21.4 in 2012 to 26.1 per 100,000 population in 2013, which is the highest figure since 1981.
The rate for women in Wales is 5.8, down from 5.9 in 2012.
The Welsh rate of suicide is higher than the UK figure of 11.9 deaths in 2013.
Meanwhile, a health watchdog is concerned about waits for mental health services after a Cardiff man's suicide before he could get counselling.
Mr Jenkins now lives in Monmouthshire but has spoken about 19 people he knew and grew up who took their own life in Blaenau Gwent over a 30 year period.
"Through the early '80s there seemed to be one every other month.
"You think of them individually quite regularly, especially when you see their family, but when you sit down and write the list, it frightened me to be honest."
He said he wishes they could look at the whole picture and the pain it leaves with the family.
Mr Jenkins plans to make an educational film on the topic with award winner director Peter Watkins-Hughes based on their own personal experiences later this year.
Stephen Habgood, chairman of charity Papyrus which is concerned with young people's suicides, said 75% of people who took their own lives were young men and he expected to see an increase in suicides among middle aged men in the latest Office for National Statistics figures.
"It's all caught up with men unwilling to admit they can't cope and are struggling. The recession raises concerns at the pressures it places on men, when their jobs or relationships are at risk as a consequence.
"There needs to be more support. We believe we should be asking young people not waiting for them to say. There's a myth that if you raise the subject of suicide you put the idea in their head. That's not the case at all, you just give them permission to say how they feel."
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "The government is considering how best to proceed on this issue."
The man in his early 30s had a history of self harm, alcohol and drug abuse and had taken overdoses.
Two weeks before his death in January 2013 he took an overdose but was discharged from hospital and remained on a waiting list for counselling. His widow received an appointment letter two months after his death.
An inquest concluded that "there was a failure by those treating him to identify his suicidal intent."
Now the public services ombudsman Nick Bennett has found "lost opportunities" by Cardiff and Vale health board to properly evaluate the unnamed man's mental health and to comprehensively assess him.
He said his GP practice in Rumney continued prescribing benzodiazepines, contrary to national guidance - which says they should be for short term "crisis" use.
The practice apologised to his widow for the appointment letter being sent, while saying there was a two year wait for psychotherapy appointments in Cardiff and up to eight months for practice-based counselling.
"It is possible that if the waiting list for counselling had been shorter, or if there had been better services for stress-related issues within the NHS, this tragic outcome may have been avoided," said the practice.
Mr Bennett said he would be drawing a number of concerns about the waits for mental health services to the Welsh government.
All GPs in Wales are to be reminded about taking properly recorded suicide risk assessments and the "inadvisability" of prescribing benzodiazepine in the long term.
The ombudsman has told the health board and GP practice to both apologise for failings and to pay the widow £3,000.
Details of health problems, family bereavements and personal issues were sent by the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich to 298 students.
UEA has apologised "unreservedly".
It has now confirmed its auditors will begin an independent inquiry to "ensure it cannot be repeated".
Earlier this month it emerged an email was erroneously sent containing a spreadsheet listing 172 names and details of extenuating circumstances in which extensions and other academic concessions were granted to 42 students.
The correspondence was sent to students on the university's American Studies course.
One of those whose details were included said she felt "sick and horrified" when she realised her information had been shared.
Vice-chancellor Prof David Richardson has now emailed students to say the UEA Council, the university's governing body, had "endorsed the commissioning of an independent inquiry".
It would "extend beyond the specific incident itself and cover areas such as the institution's systems, culture and management".
"I would like to reiterate my sincere apologies to anyone affected by the incident, and want to reassure you that we will take all steps necessary to improve the University's data handling processes going forward," he added.
The BBC understands the asking price for BHS was as low as £1.
BHS was part of the Arcadia Group, controlled by Sir Philip, which still includes TopShop, Burton and Evans.
The company was sold debt free, but one of the issues hampering deals has been the losses made by the chain. In 2013, it lost £69.6m on £675.7m of sales, down 3.5% on the previous year.
Founded in 1928 in London's Brixton, BHS has 180 stores and employs almost 12,000 staff.
Control of BHS will pass over today, Arcadia Group said in a statement.
Sir Philip said: "I am pleased that we have found a buyer in Retail Acquisitions Ltd who wants to develop the BHS brand.
"Having acquired the business nearly 15 years ago in May 2000, one of my clear objectives in identifying a purchaser was ensuring their desire to take the business forward."
Retail Acquisitions Ltd was set up last year to try to push through this deal, but may look to make more acquisitions in the future. The firm is backed by a number of investors including brokers and lawyers.
The company directors are former Formula 3000 racing driver and entrepreneur Dominic Chappell, former City finance house Nabarro Wells director Keith Smith, lawyer Edward Parladorio, and Lennart Henningson, a former senior advisor for HSN Nord Bank.
The firm plans to keep the BHS management structure in place, and will appoint a new chairman in due course.
BBC Business editor Kamal Ahmed understands that former Thomas Cook chief executive Harriet Green was approached to be the new BHS chair, but has declined the offer.
"The question for the new owners of BHS - and they are a pretty obscure bunch for the moment - is whether they can breathe new life into what has become a pretty dowdy constituent of the high street," he added.
Keith Smith, who was made the chairman of Retail Acquisitions Ltd on Thursday, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to breathe new life into this iconic British high street brand.
"We are convinced that with strategic and focussed support we will return BHS to profitability, and safeguard the workforce."
Joshua Raymond, chief market strategist at broker City Index, said Retail Acquisitions Ltd faces a "monumental" challenge in trying to turn around the fortunes of BHS.
"[Sir Philip] Green has been looking to sell the loss-making BHS business for years and now he has found a buyer, he can finally draw a line in the sand."
"BHS has struggled to adapt to the digital age and increasing competition on the high street," Mr Raymond added. "The challenge Retail Acquisitions now faces is monumental."
Retail analyst Richard Hyman, of the richardtalksretail website, said that the decision to sell "will have been as close to painful for [Sir] Philip as any business decision will ever be".
"His purchase of the brand was a master stroke.
"He saw value and restructuring potential which allowed him to go on and buy Arcadia and try to buy M&S too," Mr Hyman said.
He added that BHS has a £100m pension liability.
In the three months to December, wages grew 2.6% on an annualised basis in the UK, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
However, that was slower than the previous period, leading analysts to suggest households could face a "squeeze" on spending later this year.
The ONS also said the jobless rate held steady at an 11-year low of 4.8%.
The number of non-UK nationals working in the UK increased by 233,000 to 3.48 million compared with a year ago.
"The unemployment rate is now at its lowest in over a decade, but wage growth remains subdued by historical standards," the ONS said in its commentary.
Wage growth slowed from the 2.8% rate seen in the three months to November.
That still outpaced the rise in household prices, but the gap between them narrowed. Annual inflation as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) reached 1.8% last month, up from a rate of 1.6% in December.
"We expect real household incomes to be squeezed this year," said Ian Kernohan, an economist at Royal London Asset Management.
Ben Brettell, senior economist at Hargreaves Lansdown, agreed: "With inflation forecast to hit 2.8% early next year, a deceleration in pay growth could see real wages fall at some stage."
However, Mr Brettell added that the UK jobs market had remained resilient, despite warnings it would be hit by the Brexit vote.
"The UK labour market continues to confound the doom-mongers with its resilience to the Brexit shock," he said.
The employment rate edged higher to 74.6%, which was a record high, according to the ONS data.
"Continued moderate growth in employment has led to a new high in the total employment rate, while the rate for women has reached 70% for the first time on record," said ONS senior statistician David Freeman.
UK unemployment fell by 7,000 to 1.6 million people, the ONS found.
It is not the unemployment figures that are interesting these days, it is the employment figures.
There is not the direct link between the two figures that many think. Employment doesn't rise by the same amount that unemployment falls.
That's because many thousands of people leave school or university, come back from maternity leave or just decide to look for work every month, who weren't counted as unemployed.
Those and many other factors, like increasing numbers working beyond the retirement age, help explain why employment has risen to record levels while unemployment only fell by 7,000 in the three months to December.
Less clear is why wages are only rising by 2.6% a year. These levels of employment suggest companies are having trouble finding skilled staff to fill vacancies and that normally forces wages much higher.
There was a small rise in the number of workers born outside the European Union, but a small drop in the number of workers born in other EU countries.
Mr Freeman said those figures "should be treated with caution", however, because they were not adjusted for seasonal changes.
The job figures are based on the Labour Force Survey in which the ONS talks to about 40,000 households, or 100,000 individuals, every three months.
As it is a survey, the results are estimates and have a margin of error.
For example, the ONS is 95% confident that its estimate of a fall in unemployment of 7,000 is correct to within 80,000, so the drop is described as not being statistically significant.
Separately, an ONS "flash" estimate indicated that UK productivity grew for a fourth successive quarter in the fourth quarter of 2016 - but at a slightly reduced rate.
It reported that output per hour worked rose 0.3% quarter-on-quarter - the weakest improvement since the fourth quarter of 2015. It was down from gains of 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter, 0.5% in the second and 0.4% in the first.
"The UK has a lot of catching up to do on the productivity front and is markedly lagging its performance before the 2008-09 downturn," said Howard Archer, chief UK and European Economist at IHS Global Insight.
He said that part of the UK's recent poor labour productivity performance had been due to the fact that employment held up well during the downturn and then picked up markedly.

China's Liang sneaked past England's world number two Stuart Bingham 6-5, as he looks for the first ranking victory of his career.
The final will begin at 14:00 BST, with the winner taking home £70,000.
The device was found by construction workers in Paradise Street, Coventry, at 15:00 BST on Monday.
Lorry loads of sandbags were delivered to the scene before the controlled blast by the Army's bomb disposal team between 22:00 and 23:00 BST on Tuesday.
Businesses and Coventry University's Technocentre were evacuated.
A wall of sandbags, which took the best part of a day to erect, was put in place to absorb the explosion, West Midlands Police said.
The force tweeted there was some "tidying up to do", but things were expected to return to normal on Wednesday.
Thomas Joyce, who runs an MOT centre on Paradise Street, said he had to "drop everything" and evacuate when he was told about the bomb.
"I thought probably midday or 2pm we would be open for business," he said.
"It's unfortunate but it's one of those things - you can't hold back a bomb."
Luke Stanmore, one of many students who had to leave their halls of residence, said they had been given several times about when they might be able to return.
"I asked a police officer if he knew how long after the explosion we would be allowed back in, but it's up to the [Army]."
As festival guest director, she will have a major input into the event which is to take place from 5 to 27 May 2012.
Ms Redgrave said that although she had been involved in important arts events before, this was her first festival.
"It's a wonderful thing to me that I've been asked to really be part of this festival," she said.
Ms Redgrave is well-known for her political activism and campaigning for human rights and follows last years guest director, the Burmese pro-Democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi, in that tradition.
She is also a Unicef goodwill ambassador and wants the festival to inspire all ages.
"It will bring the young together with the old and the young people with their new visions and their new perspectives, their new ideas," she said.
"It will be giving them a chance to see some of the very best work they can possibly see."
This year's Brighton Festival, which was launched on Wednesday evening, will include 143 events and 351 performances, some of which will include Vanessa Redgrave herself.
Andrew Comben, who is chief executive of the festival, said: "One thing that Vanessa is particularly passionate about is the work for children and so that is really representative in the festival this year.
"I am really delighted that she will lead the children's parade. It's a fantastic symbol of everything that is important for Brighton Festival and its basis in the community."
Mahendra Bavishi, who is in Sudan, said he was willing to speak with officers but so far had not been involved with the inquiries.
Mr Bavishi said he had "no clue" if the multi-million-pound robbery could have been an inside job.
Scotland Yard said it had only spoken to relevant people in the UK.
A £20,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gang responsible for the central London theft, in which the contents of 56 safe deposit boxes were taken.
The gang clambered down a lift shaft and drilled through a concrete wall before making off with the valuables.
Mr Bavishi admitted it was concerning that the thieves were so well informed.
"You know the way they entered is really surprising because if there is any vibration or even if somebody enters, if somebody tries to cut anything, all the sensors were fitted," he said.
"I don't know how they got the information," he said.
He said both the inside of the vault and the outer passageway was covered by CCTV and sensors and he was "puzzled and surprised" how they had managed to get past all the security measures and the guard .
Mr Bavishi said he and his son Manish - who runs the business - heard the news of the heist while they were on a visit to China.
He said his son returned to London to help the police with their inquiries and try to contact the safety deposit box owners and he had not been able to contact him since because he was busy sorting out the business and dealing with the police.
"He is very busy," he said.
"He has been asking people to collect their belongings because the safe is not safe anymore."
He added: "I couldn't speak with him but his wife told me he was there at Hatton Garden."
He said they did not know what was inside the safety deposit boxes as they did not ask customers or keep that information on record.
"We have lost all the business. My son's effort of at least seven or eight years," he said.
"But definitely we hope to just bear it. It is not something that you can change. This is our fate unfortunately."
Waters stroked home after three minutes with Munns doubling the lead just after the hour mark and although Kabi Djalo's 20-yard blast tested the hosts' mettle with 12 minutes to play, the Robins weathered the storm.
Waters latched on to English Football League debutant Kyle Storer's through ball and jinked his way past Joe McNerney before sweeping to Glenn Morris' right with the first attack of the match.
Cheltenham continued to dominate but chances were at a premium with Munns rolling past the far post on 22 minutes.
Crawley improved after the restart with substitute Bobson Bawling forcing a fingertip save from Russell Griffiths, James Collins just failing to connect with Enzio Boldewijn's low centre and Djalo volleying fractionally wide.
But Cheltenham went two up when Waters had his effort headed off the line by Mark Connolly, only for Munns to slam home.
The visitors kept probing and got their reward when Bawling and Boldewijn combined to find Djalo to fire through a host of bodies from 20 yards.
Cheltenham hit the woodwork for a second time when Danny Wright collected a high free kick and nudged against the near upright late on, with the miss setting up a tense finale.

The two-time champion said the Honda had "no reliability and no power", with only two days of testing remaining before the first race of the season on 26 March.
But the Spaniard said he was "enjoying" driving the faster 2017 cars and added: "I feel confident that this year we will be competitive.
"I don't know at which point."
Alonso said he felt said the performance of the McLaren chassis "feels good".
But he admitted the lack of power of the engine made it difficult to properly assess the quality of the car.
"I think we are 30 km/h down on every straight," he said. "When you are 30 km/h down on every straight, it is difficult also to have a feeling on the car. Everything feels good, but you don't know what is going to happen when you arrive at normal speed."
The McLaren was actually 26.4km/h (16.5mph) slower on the straight than the fastest car at the test on Wednesday, the Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas, which set the fastest lap.
Alonso was 12th fastest, 3.7 seconds slower than the Finn.
Honda said at the launch of the McLaren car last month that they hoped a fundamentally redesigned engine would by the start of the season be producing as much power as Mercedes did last year. But the engine is currently far away from that level of performance.
"Definitely we need to improve and we must improve," Alonso said.
"The situation is far from ideal, but we are a big team. We need a reaction from everyone, stay united, working close to each other."
Honda has had a series of reliability problems with the engine in the six days of testing so far, starting with an oil-tank problem on the first day which Alonso described as "amateur".
The 35-year-old is out of contract with McLaren at the end of this season and has said he will not make a decision on whether to stay in F1 until September.
But on Wednesday he gave the strongest indication yet that he will not retire.
"I want to win races and I want to be on the podium," said Alonso, who took the last of his 32 grand prix victories nearly four years ago.
"If everything goes in the wrong direction, I will attack next year.
"It brings me more motivation to continue and win because I will not stop racing without a good feeling and a good result that I think I deserve.
"If one day I am in the car and I see other drivers in the corners do fantastic lines, they brake later than me, they accelerate earlier than me and do better starts than me, on that day I will stop and say: 'It's time.'
"What I am seeing now is really the opposite, more than ever this year and this winter.
"What I see on the track and what I see in myself is at the best level, so now it's time to attack."
The election of a new executive committee (EC), which saw supporters of party leader Jeremy Corbyn voted into five top positions, was also annulled.
Labour's national executive committee said the suspension followed "alleged abusive behaviour" at Saturday's AGM.
New branch secretary Greg Hadfield said they were "fabricated smears".
A letter sent by Katherine Buckingham, the national party's head of disputes and discipline, said Labour had received "many complaints and reports of concern" following the meeting.
She wrote: "These allege abusive behaviour by some attendees, as well as reports that the ballot results were not properly reached.
"We are particularly concerned that the safety of members at the meeting was compromised."
The Brighton, Hove and District Labour Party will not be able to hold any meetings or leadership hustings until after the result of the national leadership election is known.
The letter states that any further meetings "may put the safety of members at risk".
Last weekend's vote was a distinct shift to the left for the branch, which has seen its membership treble in the past year.
More than 600 people attended the meeting at City College to vote in the senior members of the group following a rally by the pro-Corbyn grassroots group, Momentum.
Claire Wadey, who was one of the five people elected to the EC on Saturday, described the meeting as "incredibly tolerant, incredibly kind, very patient and respectful to all candidates".
"I really don't understand where this is coming from," she said.
Mr Hadfield said it was elected with more than 60% of votes cast, and it still intended to go ahead with its inaugural meeting next Tuesday.
He has asked for those who attended the AGM to "email their experiences" to the local party.
George "Tornado" Smith, who grew up at The White Hart at Boxford, performed the stunt for 30 years - even riding with his pet lioness, Briton.
A "Wall of Death" has been set up at the pub this weekend in honour of Smith and as part of a charity festival.
One of the sponsors described the event as a "great occasion" and "part of the village's history".
The attraction, which features motorcyclists riding around a vertical wall, was set up by Smith at the Kursaal amusement park in Southend-on-Sea.
The lioness became part of his act, riding with him on the handlebars, before moving to a sidecar as she got larger.
Out of season, Smith, who died in 1971, would return to Boxford and set up his attraction there.
Briton is said to buried under the pub car park.
Lawrence Motts, one of three sponsors of the event, said the "Wall of Death" event was a "great occasion" and "part of the village's history".
He said: "This guy used to ride with a lion on his handlebars, which seems absolutely bonkers, and he would actually walk around with this lion on a lead in the village."
At Boxford the Wall of Death will be performed by Ken Fox, who recently trained motorcyclist Guy Martin to break the speed record for the stunt on television.
Proceeds will go towards local charity The Smile of Arran Trust, set up in memory of 13-year-old Arran Tosh, who died in 2014, five days after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Lock Luke Charteris replaces Bradley Davies and Rhys Patchell starts at full-back after George North's injury, with Liam Williams moving to the wing.
Wales, beaten 39-21 by New Zealand at Eden Park, are looking for a first win over the All Blacks since 1953.
Warren Gatland's side were thrashed 40-7 by the Chiefs on Tuesday.
Wales have lost 27 consecutive games against New Zealand and are looking to beat Steve Hansen's side for the first time on their own soil.
Captain Sam Warburton and second-row Charteris are the only players to retain their places from Tuesday's rout by the Chiefs.
Gatland said his fringe players missed a chance to impress in that game and wings Tom James and Eli Walker have both been overlooked for the Test match, with Patchell preferred in the back three.
It is the first time the Wales coach has picked the Scarlets' back with Patchell's previous two caps coming on the 2013 tour to Japan when Robin McBryde and Shaun Edwards were in caretaker charge.
Charteris is the only change in the forward pack as he comes in alongside Alun Wyn Jones in the second-row.
Davies takes Jake Ball's place on the bench after the Scarlets lock limped off the pitch in Hamilton.
Ellis Jenkins pulled out of the game against the Super Rugby side with a tight thigh but he has recovered to feature among the replacements.
Ross Moriarty was another late withdrawal at the FMG Stadium Waikato due to soreness, but he too is on the bench in Wellington.
Gareth Anscombe, who has been nursing a hip injury sustained in the first Test, is replaced by Rhys Priestland on the sidelines.
Gatland commented: "It is important we go out on Saturday with the confidence to play for 80 minutes in what will be another huge Test match.
"We kept the ball and played well for periods of the first Test and we need to convert that to the full 80.
"It will be another huge occasion, in a packed out stadium in Wellington and we are determined to build on our first Test performance."
New Zealand have recalled World Cup-winning lock Sam Whitelock for the second Test after a hamstring injury.
The All Blacks have also shuffled their back three, with Israel Dagg in at full-back and Ben Smith moving to left wing with Julian Savea omitted.
Wales team: Rhys Patchell,, Liam Williams, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Hallam Amos, Dan Biggar, Rhys Webb, Gethin Jenkins, Ken Owens, Samson Lee, Luke Charteris, Alun Wyn Jones, Ross Moriarty, Sam Warburton (capt), Taulupe Faletau.
Replacements: Scott Baldwin, Rob Evans, Tomas Francis, Bradley Davies, Ellis Jenkins, Gareth Davies, Rhys Priestland, Scott Williams.
New Zealand team: Israel Dagg; Ben Smith, Malakai Fekitoa, Ryan Crotty, Waisake Naholo; Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith; Joe Moody, Dane Coles, Owen Franks, Brodie Retallick, Sam Whitelock, Jerome Kaino, Sam Cane, Kieran Read (capt).
Replacements: Nathan Harris; Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Patrick Tuipulotu, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett, Seta Tamanivalu.
Gillett, 30, has played six times this season having returned from a year-long spell out with injury in January.
He has made 225 league appearances for clubs including Southampton, Doncaster and Nottingham Forest.
"He has qualities that we have been lacking and our youngsters will benefit immensely from his presence," said Posh boss Graham Westley.

Amanda Mellet was told her baby would die in her womb or shortly after birth.
She was 21 weeks pregnant in November 2011 when doctors gave her the news.
The law in the Republic of Ireland meant that Ms Mellet was not able to access an abortion in the country.
She travelled to the UK for an abortion, but had to return home 12 hours after the procedure as she couldn't afford to stay away from home for longer.
The UN criticised the Irish government for putting Ms Mellet through financial and emotional suffering.
In the report, it said she had to choose "between continuing her non-viable pregnancy or travelling to another country while carrying a dying foetus, at personal expense and separated from the support of her family, and to return while not fully recovered".
The UN said the Irish government should compensate Ms Mellet and ensure she gets proper psychological treatment.
It has also instructed the Irish government to ensure similar violations don't happen again.
The UN's Human Rights Committee called for the strict prohibition on abortion in Irish law to be reversed to allow women who are told their baby has a life-limiting condition to be able to terminate the pregnancy safely.
At least 49 people were killed in the attack, making it the worst mass shooting in recent US history.
The target of the gun attack was a gay club and Belfast City Hall, the council's headquarters, was lit in the colours of the rainbow on Monday.
The rainbow flag is a symbol used by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) campaigners.
A book of condolence was also opened inside the city hall earlier on Monday.
At midnight, the exterior lighting will be changed over to the colours of the US flag - red, white and blue.
The tribute will remain in place until dawn.
The whale was discovered by wardens at the Holkham National Nature Reserve on the north Norfolk coast.
The Holkham Estate said it believed the animal was a fin whale and the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) would be carrying out a post-mortem to establish the cause of its death.
Plans were under way to remove the whale from the beach.
For more on the whale and other stories, visit the BBC Norfolk Live page
A spokeswoman said the area remained open "but we advise the public not to venture close to the carcass and to keep dogs on leads".
Images of the whale were taken by bird photographer Penny Clarke, from King's Lynn, who was out walking on the beach when she came across the animal.
"It's really sad. It looked really fresh like it had only just washed up. It's an amazing creature, just so sad to see it like this," said Miss Clarke.
A total of 30 sperm whales have died in the North Sea this year.
Six of the sperm whales and a minke were found dead on beaches in Norfolk and Lincolnshire. The others were found beached in France, Germany and the Netherlands.
Dr Peter Evans, director of the Sea Watch Foundation, said they had probably died due to them straying into shallow waters while hunting squid.
Dr Ben Garrod, of Anglia Ruskin University said: "If is is a fin that's very, very surprising.
"Fin whales are rarely, if ever, seen in the North Sea and are instead found more regularly, but still not commonly, off the western British Isles.
"Without any more information right now, it's impossible to say why it might have been there or why it died."
Press Association analysis of data from 32 of the 43 police forces in England and Wales showed 2,579 weapons had been found in two years to March 2017.
Police chiefs said there had been a "worrying" increase in young people carrying knives.
There are about 25,850 schools in England and Wales.
Heads said children's safety was their top priority and that schools worked closely with police to protect pupils.
In 2016-17 alone, 1,369 weapons were found - a rise of almost 20% on the previous year.
According to the 24 forces - including Manchester and the Metropolitan Police - that gave details of the type of weapons seized, nearly 20% were knives or swords.
Other weapons confiscated included at least 26 guns, including air guns and an imitation firearm.
More unusual seizures included a police baton, a rolling pin, a can of beer and a 15in (38cm) metal rod.
At least 47 children below the age of 10 - the age at which someone can be prosecuted - were found with weapons.
This included three five-year-olds, one of whom was caught with a knife, while another was found with a "missile" - typically a brick or a rock.
Chief Constable Alf Hitchcock,, the National Police Chiefs Council lead for knife crime, said: "Carrying a weapon of any kind in schools is not an issue for a school to deal with alone; police and partners will always be willing to work with them and take appropriate action.
"We have recently seen an increase in young people carrying knives, and this is worrying.
"We are responding to this trend by targeting those who carry them illegally and working with retailers to reduce the sale of knives to under-age people, through nationally co-ordinated operations.
"Police involvement in schools, whether it be officers delivering talks and interactive sessions or based in schools themselves as part of the Safer Schools Partnership, helps us to educate young people and explain why carrying a weapon illegally is never acceptable."
Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "Schools work closely with the police to protect and educate their pupils, and in some cases police officers are stationed in schools.
"Where appropriate, schools conduct searches and use metal detectors, and they implement robust disciplinary procedures against anyone found in possession of a weapon."
The figures come amid a crackdown on knife crime in schools by some forces.
Earlier this month, the Metropolitan Police announced officers would be working with schools to highlight the potential consequences of carrying a knife.
It follows the case of Ann Maguire, who was stabbed to death at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds in April 2014 by a 15-year-old pupil.
The following year, teacher Vincent Uzomah was seriously injured when he was stabbed at Dixons Kings Academy in Bradford by a racist pupil.
Perry Beeches Academy Trust, once praised by ex-prime minister David Cameron, has been criticised by watchdog the Education Funding Agency.
It breached Charity Commission regulations by sponsoring the Labour Finance and Industry Group. The money has since been returned, the EFA said.
The trust has adopted recommendations.
The EFA investigated the trust - which runs five schools in the city - in March after allegations of "novel and contentious use of trust funds and assets" and irregular expenditure.

Information from a whistleblower prompted the investigation, which found an additional salary of £160,000 was paid to chief executive Liam Nolan, over two years, through a third-party agreement - on top of his £120,000-a-year salary. He resigned in May.
The agency's full report, revealed on Thursday, details breaches and failures by the trust to follow its procurement processes.
It looked at how contracts and jobs were awarded and highlighted the employment of Mr Nolan's nephew and niece, the latter being promoted six times in three years.
There was also no evidence of tendering for contracts for legal and PR services worth thousands of pounds or reasons for the payments.
EFA key findings:
In a statement the trust said the report related to historical allegations and board of trustees resigned in April and a new management structure was in place.
The new team has been working "very closely" with the EFA and department for education "to move Perry Beeches The Academy Trust and its schools forward to a better future".
"All recommendations in the report have been adopted by the trust," the spokesman added.

The Right Reverend Tim Thornton has been announced as the new Bishop at Lambeth.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said Bishop Tim was known for his work helping people "on the margins of society".
His duties will include supporting the Archbishop's work in the House of Bishops, General Synod and the Archbishop's Council.

The Archbishop said he was "delighted" to welcome Bishop Thornton to Lambeth Palace.
"His work on Feeding Britain demonstrates his range of ability and skill in bringing people together," he said.
The Bishop of St Germans, the Rt Rev Dr Chris Goldsmith, said Bishop Thornton would be missed in Cornwall.
"Not only has he been tireless in inspiring people to look for new ways to meet the challenges of ensuring the church remains relevant, engaged and engaging in the 21st Century, he has also been a keen advocate for the county, and particularly some of its least privileged members," he said.
More than a million small businesses will need to enrol employees automatically into a workplace pension scheme.
The survey by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) found that 45% of those asked were unclear on the rules.
But the Pensions Regulator hit back, saying auto enrolment was a success.
The deadlines for conforming to the rules pick up rapidly this month.
Some 25% of those surveyed by the FSB also feared that their business might not be able to cope with the extra cost.
Since 2012, 5.4 million workers have been signed up to a workplace pension under the auto-enrolment programme.
All employers are being warned that they need to offer pensions to anyone who is over the age of 22 and who earns more than £10,000 a year.
That includes, for example, nannies, care workers, plumbers and bar staff. Bosses will be given a deadline to comply with the rules.
A major advertising campaign by the government, featuring Workie - a 10ft hairy monster - is being run, aimed at ensuring small businesses pay attention to the new rules.
The FSB said that such a campaign was vital, as awareness of the rules had been so low. The federation also welcomed improved information on the website of the Pensions Regulator.
"Our message for small employers is auto enrolment is coming and will affect your business - and the sooner you get to grips with what you need to do, the better off you will be," said John Allan, FSB national chairman.
Lesley Titcomb, the chief executive of the Pensions Regulator, said that so far auto enrolment had been a great success, with over 70,000 employers signing up to it.
"We're not complacent," she told the BBC.
"In the next three months, 100,000 employers have got to enrol their employees. The message to them is that they need to start early, and make a plan."
The FSB also said that employees should pay attention to their rights, and ensure they are being given the appropriate pension provision and contributions.
The UN children's agency says fierce strikes on Friday prevented repairs to a damaged pumping station supplying rebel-held districts of the city.
In retaliation, Unicef says, a nearby station pumping water to the rest of Aleppo has been switched off.
Fresh strikes were reported in the city on Saturday, as the Syrian army presses on with its push to retake rebel areas.
The latest offensive was launched after a ceasefire collapsed on Monday.
Unicef deputy director Justin Forsyth told the BBC: "Aleppo is slowly dying, and the world is watching, and the water is being cut off and bombed - it's just the latest act of inhumanity."
Unicef spokesman Kieran Dwyer said the lack of running water could be "catastrophic" as residents now had to resort to contaminated water and were at risk from waterborne diseases.
He said water was being used as a weapon of war by all sides. The pumping station supplying rebel-held parts of Aleppo was damaged on Thursday and subsequent strikes had made repairs impossible, Mr Dwyer told the BBC.
"That pumping station pumps water to the entire population of the eastern part of city - that's at least 200,000 people and then in retaliation for that attack a nearby pumping station that pumps water to the entire western part of the city - upwards to 1.5 million people - was deliberately switched off," he told the BBC.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based group monitoring the conflict, said 25 people had been killed in fresh bombardments on Saturday.
Activists said both Syrian and Russian warplanes are taking part in the latest offensive, though Russia has not confirmed its involvement.
Russia supports the Syrian government, while the US backs the opposition. The two powers accuse each other of failing to rein in their respective allies on the ground.
A seven-day truce brokered by the US and Russia collapsed on Monday.
The head of a hospital in the rebel-held east told Reuters news agency that 91 people had been killed in Friday's bombardment.
In between the raids, civil defence volunteers known as White Helmets frantically searched for those trapped in the rubble of demolished buildings, often with bare hands.
Islamic State and the crisis in Iraq and Syria in maps
Announcing the new offensive on state television late on Thursday, the Syrian government warned Aleppo residents to "stay away" from "terrorist positions".
Syrian military sources said a ground offensive would follow.
One told AFP news agency that the bombardment "could go on for hours or days before the ground operation starts. The timing of the ground operation will depend on the results of the strikes".
President Trump recently ordered a ban on travel from six Muslim-majority countries, but Afghanistan was not included on the list.
Teams from Iran, Sudan and Syria - which are on the list - did manage to enter the country.
The girls said they did not know why they had not been given visas.
A US State Department official said it could not discuss individual cases. A team from The Gambia also failed to gain visas.
The six-member team will watch their ball-sorting robot compete in Washington DC via a video link from their hometown of Herat, in western Afghanistan.
"We still don't know the reason why we were not granted visas, because other countries participating in the competition have been given visas," Fatemah Qaderyan, 14, told Reuters.
She was one of the team members who made two journeys to the US embassy in the Afghan capital, Kabul, to apply for their papers.
Team-mate Lida Azizi, 17, said: "All of the countries can participate in the competitions, but we can't. So it's a clear insult for the people of Afghanistan."
The First Global competition has seen teams from 164 countries compete in a series of robotic games.
The non-profit organisation aims to promote Stem subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths).
First Global's president, Joe Sestak, said in a post on the organisation's Facebook page that he was "saddened" by the US decision, adding his own thoughts as to why the girls had been refused visas.
"Visa decisions are often made regarding many whose lives are endangered," he wrote. "This is compounded by the low number of visas available within the nation to begin with."
A group of Afghan girls based in the US will represent the team, and the Skype call will be broadcast on a big screen at the event.
Addiction experts and users have told Newsbeat they feel let down.
But health officials across the UK say there are services and the funding out there to help cannabis addicts.
Lee, who asked us not to use his full name, says his habit got so bad he started dealing and ended up in court.
Here one addict shares his story.
"I was about 13 when I started. Everyone was doing it. It was a social thing. It just escalated there onwards.
"I started smoking more. At around 15. I was then smoking every day.
"Looking back, when I was 18, I realised I had a real problem with marijuana.
"I found myself smoking even though I didn't want to be doing it.
"Physically it drained me, it made me very unhealthy. It made me very yellow in the face, it made me very unwell.
"Mentally it made me feel worthless, I thought everyone was better than me. I didn't want to show that, but inside I was a broken man. It was really bad.
"I wouldn't even be thinking about it and I would be smoking cannabis. I just couldn't stop. My life wasn't worth living without cannabis.
"I tried to quit myself and I thought I could do it. I went to Egypt on holiday to try to quit.
"However within one hour of landing I was sitting on my balcony crying because I'd picked up cannabis in a foreign country, in a dangerous place and I was smoking.
"That was when it hit me that I am really, really, really powerless over my addiction. I am powerless over cannabis. No matter how far I go, where I go, who I am with, it doesn't matter.
"I'd be able to find it in the Antarctic, I really would because I was deep in my addiction and nothing would get in my way.
"My using took me to in excess of £100 a day and it got completely out of control. I would smoke before work, during work, after work, I would lie to people just so I could be on my own smoking.
"I wasn't eating and I was just over five-and-a-half stone. Eating got in the way of my smoking and so would hygiene. I would go a week without having a bath or shower.
"I was dealing. It started off small because my using got to the extent where I couldn't afford it myself. It got bigger to the point where I was dealing an awful lot.
"I was raided by the police for dealing cannabis. That was my rock bottom.
"It was at that point that I really had to look at myself because I couldn't quit cannabis.
"I needed help and so I reached out for help and I got it with the 12 step programme at MA (Marijuana Anonymous).
"I currently stick to that to this day.
"I remember going to crown court every three weeks and the solicitor saying 'pack a bag because it's not looking great'.
"I was thinking I was going to be sent to prison. A very, very scary time for me. I got an 18-month suspended sentence.
"I've had to deal with my consequences and that's fine.
"I go to these meetings to talk about my feelings. It's somewhere I can offload this stuff to people who will not judge you.
"They will simply listen to you and offer you advice and it's your choice. This is a choice that I had to make to get help.
"It hasn't been easy. But my life today standing here with nine months sobriety is an awful lot better than it was in my using. Today I care about things and I care about people."
Cannabis is a Class B drug and carries a maximum prison sentence of five years for possession and up to 14 years for supply and production. You can also receive an unlimited fine for possession, supply or production.

"The cell has been fully dismantled in Barcelona, after examining the people who died, the people who were arrested and carrying out identity checks," he told a news conference.
But the regional Catalan government said there could be further arrests.
A key suspect linked to the Barcelona attack and a later one is still sought.
Thursday's attack in the Catalan capital saw a van driven at high speed along Las Ramblas where it smashed into dozens of people walking along the pedestrianised avenue popular with tourists and residents alike.
Spanish police are searching for Moroccan-born Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, who they suspect may be the driver who escaped the scene on foot.
Only hours later, early on Friday, there was a second van attack in Cambrils, west of Barcelona.
A woman was killed and police shot dead five suspected attackers, including Moussa Oukabir, 17, originally reported as the key suspect in the Barcelona attack.
Oukabir is suspected of using his brother's documents to rent the van used in Barcelona and another found hours later in the town of Vic, north of Barcelona, that was intended as a getaway vehicle.
The terror cell is reported to comprise 12 men. The Catalan Interior Minster, Joaquim Forn, stressed that the police operation could not be considered over until all those suspected of being part of the cell were in custody.
Police say the suspects had been planning more sophisticated attacks, but an explosion on Wednesday at a house in the town of Alcanar deprived them of bomb material, so they carried out simpler attacks using vehicles.
Police have found the remains of at least three people at the Alcanar house, El Pais newspaper reports.
Abouyaaqoub lived in the town of Ripoll to the north of Barcelona. Three people have been arrested in Ripoll, and one in Alcanar.
In Ripoll the apartment of an imam was raided on Saturday.
Another van, a Renault Kangoo, is also being sought, amid reports it may have been driven across the border into France.
Security is being stepped up, though the security alert level is staying unchanged as there is no information suggesting an imminent attack.
Special police controls were introduced at Saturday's two La Liga football matches in Barcelona and Girona.
So-called Islamic State (IS) said it had carried out the Las Ramblas attack, though it is not clear whether any of the attackers were directly connected to the group or simply inspired by it.
Five of the dead have been named so far:
A 74-year-old Portuguese woman, a 40-year-old woman with dual Argentine and Spanish citizenship, and a Belgian were also killed, their governments said.
The whereabouts of seven-year-old Julian Cadman, a dual British-Australian national apparently separated from his injured mother during the attack, remains unclear. He was widely reported to be missing.
However, the Catalan police, responding to inquiries, tweeted that they had neither been looking for nor found any missing child. The victims and the injured had all been located, they said.
Catalan emergency services gave a new breakdown of the injured on Saturday:
More on the victims
Pegged on strings between the lamp-posts and plane trees on the packed boulevard, more and more sheets of white paper flap in the breeze.
Imprinted with a red love heart, each contains a message left by a stroller, reflecting on the attack. Messages of love for Barcelona abound but there is anger too. "Now we need to take action," reads one. "I don't want to run any more. Let's not run away from them, let's run after them."
The Mellouli family's message, in French, says: "Sousse (Tunisia) supports Barcelona against terrorism". Sousse, the holiday resort where a gunman killed 38 people just over two years ago, now shares sorrow with Barcelona.
"We are very upset by what happened here," says the father, Slah, who is here on holiday with his family. "We are all against terrorism. Islam is against terrorism too. What happened here is not Islam. Nobody can be safe from terrorism now and we must unite against it."
Some 3.3% of 16 to 24-year-olds - about 242,000 people - identified as LGB in 2015, up from 2.8% in 2014.
The rise was mainly due to more people identifying as bisexual, the Office for National Statistics said, up from 1.3% in 2014 to 1.8% last year.
Rights charity Stonewall said that may in part be a result of more LGB role models in the public eye.
It named model and actress Cara Delevigne, boxer Nicola Adams and singer Miley Cyrus among high-profile people to come out as bisexual in recent years.
The ONS's sexual identity data comes from its Annual Population Survey.
Sexual identity is one part of the concept of "sexual orientation", which does not necessarily reflect sexual attraction or sexual behaviour, the ONS said.
It currently does not measure sexual attraction or sexual behaviour.
Other findings showed:
Lana Peswani, 24, first had feelings towards women when she was a young child but says she didn't know at the time what they meant.
She was bullied in her all-girls secondary school by students who called her a lesbian.
However, it was when she was 17 that she heard the term pansexual for the first time and realised it applied to her.
Pansexuality is a term used to describe those who can feel an attraction to anyone, regardless of their sex or gender.
Miss Peswani, who lives in London, has had relationships with men and women, and said: "I feel my attraction to people is quite fluid.
"I fancy guys, girls and trans people, and I find androgyny attractive. It's more about the person and the energy they give."
She added: "I think the younger generation are a lot more open. They are aware of things like trans issues.
"At my school people weren't aware of trans issues at all."
A spokeswoman for Stonewall welcomed the figures and said there were now more LGB role models in the media and more open discussions in society about bisexuality.
She said: "We would hope that individuals who had previously felt pressured to conceal their bi identity now feel safer and more empowered to be open about how they identify.
"It's a shame the data doesn't account for those who identify outside of the binaries of lesbian, gay and bi, however.
"We know that many LGBT people prefer not to label their sexual orientation in such a way, and so their input in this research is lost."
Some 320,000 are polled each year for the Annual Population Survey, from which individual reports are published throughout the year.
The Irish actress will have a "recurring guest role" as Charlie Cotton's mother, Yvonne.
McLynn, who played housekeeper Mrs Doyle in the Channel 4 sitcom, will make her first appearance next month.
"I know that viewers are going to both love and be intrigued by Yvonne Cotton," Dominic Treadwell-Collins, the show's executive producer, said.
"I have always been a little in love with Pauline McLynn, so I'm so excited that she's joining the Cotton family."
He added it was "about time Albert Square had another Irish character".
McLynn, who also starred in Channel 4 drama Shameless and BBC sitcom Jam and Jerusalem, is best known as the scatty Mrs Doyle in Father Ted, a role she played over the duration of the show from 1995-1998.
"It is a thrill to join EastEnders, my favourite soap, and in particular any chance to be part of a Dot Cotton storyline is not to be passed up - June Brown is a legend and I feel privileged to act with her," the actress said.
Her on-screen son, Charlie (Declan Bennett), arrived on the square earlier this year following the death of his father Nick - Dot Cotton's troublesome son.
There have been a number of shifts in the soap's cast in recent months - Danny Dyer led the charge, joining the show as new Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter in December 2013, alongside Timothy West as his on-screen father Stan.
On Good Friday, cast regular Lucy Beale - played by Hetti Bywater - was killed off in a dramatic "whodunnit" storyline, while earlier this month Patsy Palmer - Albert Square stalwart Bianca - announced she would be leaving the show this autumn. | A long-awaited £14m water park has opened after its initial unveiling was delayed due to technical difficulties with water temperature.

Demonstrators chanted slogans against Prime Minister Viktor Orban, accusing him of employing corrupt officials and being too close to Russia.
Similar protests occurred in at least 20 other Hungarian cities as well as London, Berlin and Stockholm.
Last month thousands successfully rallied against a planned internet tax.
Opposition politicians were amongst the protesters, although party symbols were not on show following a request from the organisers, Reuters news agency reports.
Demonstrators called on Mr Orban to resign and demanded the ousting of six public officials, including the head of Hungary's tax authority, who have been accused of corruption.
In October, Washington banned Ildiko Vida and the five other officials from entering the US because of their alleged corruption links.
After announcing the ban, while US charge d'affaires Andre Goodfriend said that "negative trends [had] rapidly taken hold" in Hungary.
Despite this, the six officials deny any wrongdoing and Mr Orban has refused to ask for their resignation.
The demonstrators also accused the prime minister of moving away from the EU towards Russia, and demanded greater government accountability.
Many accuse Mr Orban, who leads the country's centre-right Fidesz Party, of becoming increasingly authoritarian.
Although the protest was peaceful, thousands remained after the demonstration was over.
The crowds dismantled metal barriers by the Hungarian parliament and faced police in riot gear whilst chanting "Orban, go away" and "We do not pay tax to criminals".
Monday's protest was the fourth demonstration within Hungary in the last 30 days.
On 9 November demonstrators marched against Ms Vida calling for her resignation.
But the largest protest came in October when the government suggested an internet tax.
After thousands rallied in protest, Mr Orban surprised many by changing his mind and withdrawing the plans four days later.
Despite the protests, Mr Orban commands broad popularity in Hungary and in April he was re-elected with Fidesz winning two-thirds of the seats in parliament.
Figures also show construction workers killed themselves at a rate three times higher than the male average.
For women, people in culture, media and sport had a rate 69% higher than the female average.
The Samaritans said more understanding would help to target support to those most at risk.
The Office for National Statistics referred to previous studies, which found job security and low pay increased the risk of suicide.
The report was based on 13,232 deaths from suicide registered in England between 2011 and 2015 among people aged 20 to 64, where the deceased's occupation was known.
About four in five (10,688) were men.
Men working in skilled trade occupations had the second-highest risk among the major occupational groups, the ONS said. They accounted for 29% (3,059 out of 10,688) of all male suicides.
The raw numbers showed 1,047 male suicides were of people in the construction or building trade. However, this does not take account of the number of people working in the professions.
Among women, those working in culture, media and sport as well as health professionals had the highest rates.
Women in culture, media and sport occupations had a rate 69% higher than the national average for women while health professionals were 24% higher.
In raw numbers, the most suicides among women were in the caring professional services - 273 between 2011 and 2015.
The figures were compiled by the ONS, which worked with David Gunnell, Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Bristol. The study was commissioned by Public Health England.
Ruth Sutherland, chief executive of Samaritans, said: "Suicide is complex. There is never a single reason or circumstance that leads to a person taking their own life, so all additional insight into suicidal thoughts and behaviours is to be welcomed.
"The more we know, the more we can target resources and support to those most at risk."
She said the organisation was now working with the construction industry.
Duncan Selbie, chief executive of Public Health England, said: "Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50, and more women are taking their own lives each year. Death by suicide is never inevitable, but for a person who is overwhelmed by feelings and events that appear insurmountable, it can seem like the only answer.
"People who die from suicide are usually not in contact with health services, and often push through in silence as their ability to cope deteriorates. With more than two-thirds of adults in employment, the workplace offers an opportunity to reach people who need extra support.
"I urge all employers, large or small, public or private sector to treat mental health as seriously as physical health. Early action can stop any employees reaching a desperate stage. Simple actions can make a huge difference - talking with a manager or colleague can help people get the support they need, and ultimately save lives."
Nansi Ellis, assistant general secretary for policy at the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said: "It is shocking to see that female primary teachers have a suicide risk that is 42% above the average."
She said teachers were "exhausted from constant stress" and expected to "devote every minute of their lives to their work".

Figures from the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) show only a modest rise in students taking the new computer science GCSE.
Experts are concerned.
The British Computer Society warns the number studying for a computing qualification could halve by 2020.
The organisation - which is the professional body for the IT industry - says that would be a disaster for the economy.
The old ICT course, which was the main way school students learned about computing, is being scrapped, with the last GCSE entrants taking the exam next year. The subject, which was described by critics as teaching little more than how to use Microsoft Office, is being replaced by the more rigorous computer science GCSE.
But figures from Ofqual showing entries for the exam rising to 67,800 this year from 61,220 in 2016 have set alarm bells ringing. With 58,600 still taking the ICT exam, the overall number getting a GCSE computing qualification has fallen slightly.
The British Computing Society says that when ICT disappears, the computer science exam will fail to fill the gap.
"If we don't act now," says Bill Mitchell from the BCS, "by 2020 we are likely to see the number of students studying computing at GCSE halve, when it should be doubling. If that happens, it will be a disaster for our children, and the future of the nation."
The other big concern is that too few girls are taking up the computer science exam - in 2016 they made up just 20% of entrants, while the figure for ICT has been around 40%.
Prof Rose Luckin says the subject has an image problem.
"Computer science is seen as more 'techie' and it is still dominated by men," explains the expert from University College London's Knowledge Lab, who has been researching and writing about the teaching of technology for 20 years.
"Many girls believe computer science and coding is 'for boys' and they do not see desirable career options that appeal to them."
What seems clear is that the computer science exam is far more challenging, both for students and teachers. That was of course the aim, but those who warned that ending ICT risked throwing the baby out with the bathwater may now feel vindicated.
Drew Buddie, who is head of computing at a school near London, has always argued that ICT was unfairly maligned and was far more creative than its critics assumed.
Now, he says, "it is clear that many 14-to-17-year-old students, particularly girls, are not attracted to such a specific and narrow course."
"The current GCSE in computer science has replaced the opportunities for creativity that existed in ICT with set programming tasks that have very few solutions," he adds.
The British Computing Society, which lobbied for the new GCSE, insists that it always argued for a new IT qualification to complement computer science, but that was rejected by ministers.
The organisation says it is unrealistic to expect teachers of ICT to turn into teachers of computer science without significant training and support - and despite initiatives from organisations like Computing At School there has just not been enough funding to usher in this revolution.
I put some of these criticisms to the Department for Education. A spokesman stressed that the new exam had been designed with industry experts to develop the computational skills needed for today's economy.
He pointed out that the numbers taking it had more than doubled since 2015 and said "we expect that number to continue to rise while ICT GCSE is phased out. We are continuing to work to encourage even greater uptake of computer science, especially among girls."
But Prof Luckin says the situation is urgent.
"We need to focus on understanding exactly why students are not attracted to computer science so that we can ensure an appropriately skilled workforce for the future, not least amongst the teaching profession," she says.
And she adds that the advent of artificial intelligence makes this mission even more vital.
Five years ago, it seemed just about everyone, from teachers to business leaders to politicians, was in agreement about the need for radical changes in the way children were taught about computers.
But today it is hard to find many who are happy with the speed and direction of the revolution in computing education.
Wednesday face Brighton at Hillsborough in the first leg on 13 May before the return at the Amex Stadium on 16 May.
Wolves went ahead when Michael Turner put Matt Doherty's ball into his own net while George Saville made it 2-0 from a Doherty cross before the break.
Wednesday's Lewis McGugan scored from the spot when Doherty handled late on.
The result means Wolves finish the season 14th in the table, seven places down on their seventh-placed finish last term.
Wednesday, who face the Seagulls in the play-offs after they drew 1-1 in the automatic promotion place decider against Middlesbrough, suffered just their second defeat in their last 10 games of the season.
Turner's early own goal marked six hours and six minutes since the last goal at Molineux - an injury-time winner scored by Doherty against Bristol City on 8 March - as the hosts avoided the unenviable record of becoming the first team in Football League history to draw five consecutive home games 0-0.

Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett: "A win is always important whatever situation you are in and we are delighted to get that.
"Now for us it is about the summer, capitalising on the strengths that we have in the side and then addressing the quite obvious weaknesses that we have."
Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal: "Brighton will be a strong opponent, like all of the teams in the play-offs, but each of the four teams has a 25% chance.
"We have drawn against them both times this season in balanced games and we understand we are playing a top team but I think we are a better team now than in the past.
"We have a positive environment. We will be underdogs but that can be a positive for us."
Driver Jacob Hocking, 22, Jackson Edwards, 20, and Adam Richards, 21, all from Corwen, were killed in the A5 collision on 21 November last year.
Anthony Steel, 74, from Birkenhead, who was in the other car, also died.
North Wales east and central coroner John Gittins concluded a road traffic collision caused their deaths.
The Ruthin inquest heard the collision involved a Vauxhall Astra the young men were travelling in and a Vauxhall Zafira being driven by Mr Steel.
Witness Brian Mcmulkin said he was driving towards Conwy when he saw the Astra driven by Mr Hocking come towards him around a bend at speed.
He told the hearing he was struck by the "speed of it" and the driver was "fighting with the wheel a little bit".
Mr Mcmulkin said he looked in his rear view mirror and saw the car's "back end" before telling his wife: "He's lost it," but did not see the collision.
A North Wales Police forensic vehicle examiner told the inquest the Astra's rear near-side tyre was found to have a pressure reading of 13 psi - 54% below the standard recommended.
He said it may have "introduced an element of over-steer".
The inquest heard there was no police evidence to suggest Mr Hocking was speeding.
Mr Gittins said he was satisfied the under-inflated tyre was a "significant contributory factor".
The deaths were a "reminder to us all about the importance of vehicle maintenance," he added.

Joy Robson died at the Snowman Rally in Inverness in 2013.
The following year, Iain Provan, Elizabeth Allan and Len Stern lost their lives at the Jim Clark Rally near Coldstream.
The inquiry at Edinburgh Sheriff Court is expected to last several weeks with dozens of people due to give evidence.
Plans to hold the hearing were confirmed late last year.
The decision followed a change in legislation to allow for a single fatal accident inquiry to be held in relation to deaths in different parts of Scotland.
The Crown Office said at the time that the two events held "similar questions in relation to spectator safety at rallies".
It added that the Lord Advocate considered that it was in the public interest that the issues be explored together.
The inquiry will look at the full circumstances surrounding the deaths and "help to avoid such incidents happening in the future".
Andrew Henderson, from Thompsons Solicitors, who is representing Mrs Robson's family said: "Joy's family greatly welcome the beginning of the fatal accident inquiry which is the first to be held since new legislation was brought in to improve the FAI process.
"They want to finally know the full reasons behind Joy losing her life and to make sure that spectator safety at Scottish rallies can be improved to a level where no other family can suffer a bereavement in such an awful and needless way."
Last year The Crown Office confirmed that no criminal proceedings would be brought in relation to either event, although that could be reconsidered if additional evidence comes to light.
The Jim Clark event has been suspended until the completion of the FAI.
The event had been held annually since 1970 to celebrate world champion Clark.
Former murderers, sexual offenders and thieves have all been Uber drivers, allege court papers filed by district attorneys in California.
They started legal action against Uber last year, saying it had misled customers about its screening systems.
Uber said its driver checking system was "more effective" than those used by other taxi firms.
The court papers claim that Uber did not spot the criminal backgrounds of 25 drivers that it employed in San Francisco and Los Angeles - the two cities behind the legal action.
At a press conference, George Gascon, district attorney in San Francisco, said problems with the data that Uber relied on to check drivers meant it could miss some former criminals. For instance, he said, 30,000 registered sex offenders were not in the database Uber used.
An alternative screening system used by other cab firms called Livescan did catch people who were on the sex offenders list, said Mr Gascon.
He added that Uber's screening only covered the last seven years and omitted biometric checks that would uncover people who had falsified their identity to avoid being spotted by screening.
"We are learning increasingly that a lot of the information that Uber has been presenting the consumer has been false and misleading," Mr Gascon told the New York Times.
In response, Uber said it agreed with the two district attorneys that safety was a priority - but took issue with whether Livescan was a better way to check backgrounds.
Neither process was 100% foolproof, it said in a statement, adding that it had put "hundreds" of people registered as taxi drivers through its own checks and found that many who were driving cabs, but were not Uber drivers, had convictions for rape, attempted murder, child abuse and violence.
"We look forward to resolving this issue, just as the DAs settled an almost identical case with [rival cab firm] Lyft last year," it said.
In the UK, Uber said its drivers were subject to the same strict checks that covered those operating black cabs or other licensed vehicles.
John McEnery, 73, was arrested after reports of a man with a gun at the Leading Light pub in Preston Street, Faversham at 08:20 BST on Tuesday.
Armed Kent Police officers were deployed and a man was arrested just before midday in Faversham Creek.
The former husband of Stephanie Beacham, Mr McEnery, of no fixed address, appeared in Girl with a Pearl Earring and Merlin.
Mr McEnery is due to appear before Maidstone Magistrates' Court on 25 August.
He has been charged with possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
Mr McEnery, who was born in Birmingham, joined the National Theatre Company in 1966.
He was nominated for a Bafta for best supporting actor for his portrayal of Mercutio in Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film version of Romeo and Juliet.
The actor was married to Dynasty star Ms Beacham and the couple had two children before they divorced in 1978.
Hollyoaks and Ballykissangel actress Kate McEnery is the daughter of his actor brother Peter McEnery and Julie Peasgood.
Plumber David Bowes, 46, drowned after his pick-up truck collided with the parapet on the Kyle of Tongue Bridge in Sutherland and went into the sea.
The local authority involved, Highland Council, disputed liability.
But a judge at the Court of Session in Edinburgh has ruled it breached its duty to deal with the railing.
The decision clears the way for Mr Bowes' family to claim an undisclosed sum in damages agreed with the council.
The court heard that Mr Bowes, from Bettyhill, Sutherland, lost control of his vehicle. His truck crossed the carriageway, mounted a pavement and collided with the parapet before going into the water.
Judge Lord Mulholland said Mr Bowes would have suffered minor injuries, or even escaped unharmed, if the railing had been "operating as designed".
He said Highland Council breached its duty to deal with the defective parapet by introducing temporary traffic measures until it was replaced.
The court heard that an engineer carried out an inspection of the bridge on the A838 road in 2005.
He recommended that major repairs to the structure be carried out without delay and that in the case of the parapet it should be carried out in the next financial year.
Defects were identified in welds between posts and bases along with cracked base castings.
The engineer also recommended that interim measures be put in place pending the replacement of the parapet, with a reduction in the speed limit, traffic lights and a temporary barrier.
Monitoring of the structure was introduced but was ceased after January 2008.
Lord Mulholland said: "In my opinion, the decision to discontinue monitoring was wrong, did not make sense, was against previous advice and, in relation to a matter clearly related to safety, meant that the defender had no idea of the containment strength of the parapet, if any, whether it was continuing to deteriorate, to what extent and rate it was deteriorating, and what measures, if any, should be taken to deal with the problem."
He said it was "surprising and alarming that basic health and safety principles of risk assessment were not applied to the critical issue of the safety of the parapet".
The judge said if interim measures were introduced, they would have alerted road users to the risk of the hazard and would have resulted in them taking care by reducing speed and driving on a single carriageway with temporary lights.
Lord Mulholland said: "The temporary barriers together with other interim measures would have reduced speeds such that Mr Bowes would probably not have left the bridge to his death.
"I therefore find it proved that the defender breached its duty to deal with the hazard, namely the defective parapets, by implementing interim measures until the parapets were replaced."
Lancashire Police said a 49-year-old old man had "voluntarily" attended a station by prior appointment.
He was not arrested but interviewed under caution regarding a rape allegation made on 4 January, the force said.
Earlier this month the Labour MP called the rape allegation against him "malicious, untrue and upsetting".
He was suspended by the party last month after he admitted sending lewd texts to a 17-year-old girl.
One scheme will see 10,000 old sodium lamps replaced with LED lights along major routes in the city.
These will generate savings by cutting carbon emissions and using less energy.
Another scheme will see smart LED lights in some areas that will be able to increase in brightness when people approach or noise levels rise.
Glasgow City Council aims to replace about 72,000 old sodium street lights in the city.
The first phase will see 10,000 new LED lights installed at a cost of just under £9m between April this year and March 2017.
The scheme is being backed by the UK government-funded Green Investment Bank.
The resulting savings on energy costs, carbon tax reductions and maintenance, are expected to see the project pay for itself over an 18-year period.
Council leader Gordon Matheson said: "It currently costs around £8.5m a year to power and repair the city's 72,000 street lights.
"The longer life cycle of LED lamps means we can reduce future maintenance and running costs as well as cutting our carbon emissions.
"These lights are another key element of our commitment to make Glasgow one of Europe's most sustainable cities."
WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said the investment was "great news for Glasgow taxpayers as well as the planet".
"Some councils have estimated that street lighting makes up 10% of the their carbon footprint," he said.
"Therefore, a nationwide shift to more energy-efficient lighting such as LEDs would make a significant dent in council-related carbon emissions.
"Pound for pound, improved energy efficiency is the most cost-effective way to cut energy demand and the associated climate pollution."
Another scheme being developed by the council will see the use of sensor-fitted LED street lights trialled on a stretch of cycle route on the Clyde Walkway.
The sensors will be able to detect approaching cyclists and pedestrians and increase in brightness.
They will also count footfall and the number of cyclists, as well as collecting information on air pollution.
The information will be freely available to view on Glasgow's new City Data Hub.
Salvador Sobral, 27, won with his love ballad Amar Pelos Dois, which was written by his sister.
He said on receiving the trophy: "We live in a world of fast food music. This is a victory for music... music isn't fireworks, music is feeling."
Lucie Jones, representing the UK with I'll Never Give Up on You, came 15th. Bulgaria came second and Moldova third.
Jones, a former X Factor contestant, received 111 points for her performance but didn't seem too upset, tweeting: "I wonnnnnnn!!! Oh no wait..."
It is a considerable improvement for the UK, after last year's entrants Joe and Jake came 24th with 62 points.
Jones secured the UK's highest placing since 2011, when boyband Blue came 11th with 100 points.
Sobral, who has a serious heart condition that saw him miss the first week of rehearsals, reprised his song at the end of the show and was joined by his sister Luisa for a duet.
Their song, which translates as For the Both of Us, won top marks from both from the televoters and the countries' professional juries, getting 758 points altogether. This dwarfed Jamala's win last year for Ukraine with 534 points.
Portugal had been one of the favourites to win, along with Italy's entry, which came sixth.
It wasn't all about the singing, though - last year's winner Jamala had her performance briefly interrupted by a man flashing his bottom.
BBC Monitoring reported that Ukrainian TV identified him as "scandalous" Ukrainian prankster Vitaliy Sedyuk. Jamala continued to sing "unfazed", the broadcaster 1+1 TV said.
The stage invader, wrapped in an Australian flag, was swiftly wrestled off the stage by a security guard.
Graham Norton, who was guiding UK viewers through the contest on BBC One, apologised to anyone who was offended by the incident.
The contest this year took place in the Kiev International Exhibition Centre in Ukraine. The host country could only manage 24th place out of 26 this time round.
Portugal will now host the contest next year.
By Neil Smith, entertainment reporter, BBC News
The noise in the press room at Kiev's International Exhibition Centre was deafening as Salvador Sobral from Portugal became his country's first ever Eurovision winner.
To say the 27-year-old is a popular victor is an understatement. Where others brought slick precision sheen and dancing gorillas to the contest, he brought heart, sincerity and a simple, guileless charm.
He also brought something of a sob story - a recent bout of ill health and a serious heart condition. Yet it would be an injustice to him and his songwriting sister Luisa to suggest that sentiment was behind his triumph.
He is, simply put, one of a kind - an antidote of sorts to Eurovision's history of short-lived fads and trashy kitsch, and all the more refreshing for it.
A journalist I know choked up when discussing how he felt when he saw Salvador sing Amar Pelos Dois (Loving for the Both of Us).
Sabral entered the contest with the stated aim of making "people outside of Portugal know and recognise my work."
Job done, sir.

Police have made an arrest after the midfielder was hit on the face by the coin, thrown from a section housing West Brom fans, after he went to give his shirt to a supporter at the end of the Baggies' 3-1 FA Cup fifth-round defeat.

QPR have begun their own investigation into the incident on Saturday, while Birmingham have promised stern action against anyone found responsible.
A QPR statement said: "A coin from the School End stand, in which the visiting supporters were situated, was thrown towards the Rangers players as the Rs celebrated their second goal in our Sky Bet Championship fixture at Loftus Road.
"The club will continue to review video footage and liaise with the Metropolitan and West Midlands police."
A Birmingham spokesman said: "If anybody is found to have thrown a coin, we will take the strongest possible action. As a club, we utterly condemn that sort of behaviour.
"We will be liaising with the relevant bodies, including West Midlands Police, to investigate such allegations."
Pte John Fielding, of Cwmbran, received the Victoria Cross for his part in the 1879 defence of Rorke's Drift.
A band and parade of veterans marched from Abbyfields to St Michael and All Angels church, Llantarnam, where a service marked the battle's 138th anniversary.
Pte Fielding joined the 24th Regiment of Foot at the age of 20 in 1877.
Two years later, he was one of about 140 British troops who fought hand to hand with 4,000 Zulus.
He lived to the age of 75, dying of heart failure in 1932.
Newport Road was closed for a short time for the event which was organised by Cwmbran and District Ex-Service Association.
Adam Rooney's spot-kick was saved, but if the advantage had been played Niall McGinn's netted shot after the foul on Rooney would have opened the scoring.
Dons substitute Jayden Stockley was booked twice for use of his elbows.
And, in added time, Graeme Shinnie's pass-back to Joe Lewis bobbled over the keeper's foot and ran into the net.
The tie was played against a backdrop of mourning, after two players from Maribor's B team - Damjan Marjanovic and Zoran Baljak - died in a car crash earlier in the week.
A minute's silence before kick-off and black armbands were symbols of the sense of grief that had gripped the Slovenian club, and there was empathy from Aberdeen's players and staff, with manager Derek McInnes and captain Ryan Jack laying a wreath earlier in the day.
Aberdeen's task was straightforward - to score after conceding an away goal in the 1-1 draw at Pittodrie last week.
They travelled to Slovenia with a sense of purpose and confidence, though, having created a series of chances in the home leg and played with command and authority.
The loss of first-leg scorer Jonny Hayes to injury was a setback but his replacement Wes Burns brought drive and directness to the team, qualities which contributed to the conservatism that shaped Maribor's play.
The home side could afford to play for a 0-0 draw, but they ought to have found themselves chasing the game by half-time.
A reckless pass-back by Marko Suler was intercepted by Rooney and his ankles were caught by Handanovic's studs.
The referee opted for a yellow rather than a red card for the goalkeeper, but also ruled out McGinn's finish to award the spot-kick instead.
Rooney, normally so fierce with his finishing from the spot, tried to dink the ball down the centre of goal, allowing Handanovic to kick the ball away.
There were other efforts - Burns and Shinnie both shot straight at Handanovic - but Aberdeen were most frustrated by the officials.
Even before Burns' second-half replacement Stockley had received his two bookings, Erik Janza was only shown a yellow card despite appearing to have thrown a punch at Ryan Jack.
The home side had started the second half with more assertive play, and threatened when their scorer in the first leg, Milivoje Novakovic, spun and shot on target only for Lewis to push the ball away.
Aberdeen would still have felt they were the dominant side, but Stockley's dismissal limited their options and it became an agonising assignment for the visitors as time ran out on their European ambitions, Shinnie credited with the own goal that came seconds before the final whistle.
Derek McInnes' men - Scottish Premiership runners-up two years running - bow out of the Europa League at the third qualifying round for the third successive season, with their domestic campaign beginning at St Johnstone's McDiarmid Park on Sunday.
Last week, chief executive Gary Hetherington said Segeyaro would stay at Leeds despite interest from the NRL.
The 26-year-old subsequently told the Australian Sunday Telegraph that he did not want to return to the UK.
"Some of the things he's said are disappointing. We expect him to be back," McDermott told BBC Radio Leeds.
"We made a commitment to James and he made a commitment to us.
"I spoke to him on the phone and he expressed some concerns to me about coming back."
He added: "We've got a contract with him and that's not to be broken lightly. I'm not talking about the legal part of it but if you look someone in the eye and say 'I'll see you whenever' and then say 'I'm not coming now'... I don't think you should do that too often in your life."
Segeyaro joined the Rhinos from NRL side Penrith in June and is contracted to the Super League side until the end of the 2018 season.
McDermott said the club were prepared should Segeyaro not come back to England.
"There's always a plan B. There's always a fluid list of players who are available," McDermott added.
"We hope he comes back and comes back in the right frame of mind but if he doesn't we have plans in place."
Browne lasted 282 balls for his 116 to help Essex reach 291-4 at stumps.
The 25-year-old put on 128 for the second wicket with Tom Westley before he edged Matt Critchley behind for 72.
All-rounder Ravi Bopara also made 44, with Essex captain Ryan ten Doeschate set to resume with Browne on day two unbeaten on 15.
Launching its manifesto, the party again ruled out taking part in any future coalition.
However, it said it would be prepared to support a party whose proposals would be in the best interests of Northern Ireland and the UK in general.
It calls for a budget settlement to enable real increases in health and education spending over five years.
On welfare, the DUP wants the abolition of the spare room subsidy also known as the bedroom tax.
The party wants air passenger duty abolished because it says it has a disproportionate impact on regions farthest from the south-east of England.
It wants guaranteed access from Northern Ireland to London's hub airports and a feasibility study into a tunnel or enclosed bridge between Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Party leader Peter Robinson said: "After the election we are prepared to support either the Conservative Party or the Labour Party if the circumstances are right; or for that matter neither if the circumstances are not right.
Main pledges
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
"And secondly, the price for DUP support in the new Parliament cannot simply be summarised and dismissed as more money for Northern Ireland.
"I believe that delivery of The Northern Ireland Plan can help redefine our place within the United Kingdom.
"So whilst we could well play a pivotal role in the next Parliament, we have a sense of perspective about our size and our capacity to dictate policy at a national level.
"While our influence in the national context will be limited by our size and the wider post-election arithmetic, we would contend that whatever the final Commons headcount we could be in a key position to bring real and substantial change to Northern Ireland."
Other policies
The hearings will look at the extent of radicalisation within the community and the response on that issue of Muslim leaders.
Muslim organisations say they are being unfairly singled out.
The hearings are in response to such events as the Fort Hood shootings and the Times Square car bomb plot.
The BBC's Tom Burridge in Washington says the protesters braved the rain to march on the streets of New York, many carrying banners reading "Today I am a Muslim too".
In the hearings, Peter King - a Republican Congressman and chair of the homeland security committee - has called several witnesses to testify about "the extent of radicalisation within the American Muslim community".
Mr King, who represents New York, claims some Muslim leaders are not doing enough to help the police and the FBI investigate terror plots which originate in the US.
Our correspondent says cases such as that of Pakistan-born US citizen Faisal Shahzad, who tried to blow up a car bomb in New York's Times Square last year, and Virginia-born US army Maj Nidal Hasan, who allegedly killed 13 people on a shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, have changed political language and thinking in the US.
Politicians, the police and people are talking about a relatively new, homegrown threat, he says.
The protesters in New York and others fear the hearings will only increase Islamaphobia in America.
Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who led the campaign to build an Islamic centre near the destroyed World Trade Center site, addressed the Times Square crowd.
"Our real enemy is not Islam or Muslims," said Imam Rauf. "The enemy is extremism and radicalism and radical ideology."
Muslim Democratic Congressman Andre Carson said he wanted to tell "the Peter Kings of the world, we will not take your xenophobic behaviour".
Mr King's language on this subject has often proved inflammatory, our correspondent says, and many believe the witnesses he has called to speak at the hearings do not represent mainstream Muslims.
So when the prospect of a non-contact training session reduced him to a tangle of self-doubt and anxiety, he knew the ball was burst.
Nine months on from the pre-season friendly - Ansbro's London Irish travelling to face Munster - and the characteristically fierce lunging tackle that broke his neck in the summer of 2012, his confidence had been shredded.
"I was just terrified," says ex-centre Ansbro, looking back. "The edge that I'd had was gone.
"I'd lost a lot of confidence, my movement patterns, vision and decision-making.
"I was really dreading it. I felt supremely confident going into that season, in attack and defence, I was so looking forward to it.
"Then it was almost like being in the academy again and getting your first training session.
"I didn't get particularly close to coming back in the end - I didn't even get to controlled contact."
Ultimately, Ansbro skipped the session. He announced his retirement soon after, aged 27.
His was an unerring devotion that endeared him to his peers and coaches.
He relished not just the practicalities of scything down opponents but the strategy and organisation that positioned him to do so.
This would always, however, render him vulnerable to bodily grievance in the line of duty.
The fractured vertebrae at the top of his spine consigned Ansbro to three months in a halo brace - a metal contraption attached via four screws to his skull that immobilised his neck.
"I think that [the injury] was about the fourth time I tackled someone with my head in that game alone," he jokes.
His Test career with Scotland was, by modern standards, fleeting, with 11 caps spread across two years.
He was the first contemporary black player to represent the nation - not that he affords that statistic much more than a shrug - having been born in Glasgow and adopted at 10 weeks old by a white English family who lived in Dumfries.
Erudite and articulate, he attended boarding school in Lancashire, and studied natural sciences at Cambridge University, featuring in varsity matches, and winning a contract with Northampton Saints.
These days, he teaches biology at Harrow School - whose alumni include the meaty frames of Saracens forwards Billy Vunipola and Maro Itoje - and indulges in a spot of coaching, grateful to have left rugby with an able body under the circumstances.
But there are moments, albeit growing briefer with the passage of time, where he longs for the banter and the camaraderie of the hours spent among the lads.
"Ultimately, you become a fan again," he says of the transition.
"There's a perception, particularly with the [Six Nations] Wooden Spoon, that Scotland are not as strong a rugby nation as they should be, and I hate that, because I know it's not true.
"Glasgow don't win the Pro12 unless they've got a lot of good quality players. Edinburgh had a great run in the European Challenge Cup.
"It's the same with coaching; you just want the boys to go out and show the world what they're about and how good they are.
"We've always had very good players but our best players haven't always performed, which can be frustrating.
"Now, everyone seems to be playing well, and it just allows you to build momentum."
Ansbro knows what it's like to castle Australia, the maddening, rage-inducing finale to last Sunday's quarter-final loss in stark contrast to Scotland's 9-6 victory Down Under three years ago.
Of course, that glorious triumph, in a New South Wales deluge, was immortalised online by the immediate aftermath, the Scots' flocking to form a delirious rain-soaked rammy, and Ansbro clashing foreheads with the somewhat beefier Al Strokosch, requiring nearly 50 stitches as a result.
"It was probably the first time I'd ever celebrated, like properly celebrated, a win," he says. "It meant so much.
"I'd been injured that Six Nations, we'd Wooden-Spooned it, and morale, after one lost game is bad, but you play four, five games of rugby, that pressure of letting so many people down, it can be pretty miserable.
"All of a sudden to flip that round in one game was pretty ridiculous.
"Without a shadow of a doubt, they underestimated what we were going to bring to the game. The weather certainly helped, kept the game nice and tight for us, and allowed us to strike in the last play."
Ansbro played with plenty of Scotland's present roster. Alongside the treasured euphoria of sinking the Wallabies, and South Africa, he endured heartbreaks of his own.
Failed Six Nations fixtures and an exasperating World Cup exit in 2011.
But in Vern Cotter's side, he sees a spark, an unruly "fearlessness" and a familiarity fostered by domestic glory.
"Having essentially an entire backline that plays at the same club, Glasgow, a successful club as well - these boys are used to winning," he said.
"I'm so excited about the momentum the Australia game could help build - there's always hope, there's always optimism when you support Scotland, but I do feel like this is a step change.
"I'm tired of people underestimating Scotland and Scottish rugby. Off the back of quite a few disappointing Six Nations campaigns, there's a lack of respect towards Scottish rugby that I think needs to be addressed.
"I think people don't expect Scotland to win games at the moment, which is one of the great things about last Sunday, and also one of the bad things about last Sunday - everyone saw that we could have won the game, but we didn't.
"I think it's time we set the record straight."
The tapes were destroyed by the head of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, Jose Rodriguez.
In an exclusive interview for Newsnight, Rodriguez has defended the destruction of the tapes and denied waterboarding and other interrogation techniques amount to torture.
The CIA tapes are likely to become central to the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of 9/11, at Guantanamo Bay.
When Khalid Sheikh Mohammed appeared before a special military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay last Saturday, he refused to put on the headphones that would enable him to hear the translator.
His civilian attorney, David Nevin, said he could not wear them because of the torture he had suffered during his interrogation.
His "torture" at the hands of his CIA interrogators at a secret "black site" to which he had been rendered, included being deprived of sleep for over a week, standing naked, wearing only a nappy, and being waterboarded 183 times.
The CIA and the US Department of Justice that authorised the secret interrogation programme in the wake of 9/11, euphemistically referred to its content as "enhanced interrogation techniques".
Most people would probably call them "torture", but Jose Rodriguez disputes this term.
He has written a book, "Hard Measures" in which he defends the use of such techniques, and he told me there is no doubt they were effective.
"Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was probably the toughest detainee that we ever had and he was going to resist to the end of his strengths," he told me.
Waterboarding is simulated drowning. The detainee is stripped naked and strapped onto a board in a horizontal position with feet higher than his head.
Water is then dripped onto a cloth covering the nose and mouth which makes the detainee choke and temporarily stop breathing.
"It's not a pretty sight when you are waterboarding anybody or using any of these techniques, let's be perfectly honest," Rodriguez admitted.
Only three of the CIA's "high value targets" were waterboarded.
Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged architect of the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in which 17 sailors died, was waterboarded twice, and Abu Zubaydah, Osama Bin Laden's suspected travel agent for jihadis, 83 times.
And it is the waterboarding of Zubaydah that has now become the centre of fresh controversy triggered by Newsnight's investigation.
The CIA recorded Zubaydah's detention and interrogation - and that of other detainees - on 92 video tapes.
Twelve of them covered the application of the "enhanced interrogation techniques", including waterboarding.
On one or more of them, I understand Zubaydah is shown vomiting and screaming.
John Rizzo, the CIA's top legal counsel who oversaw the legalisation of the techniques in an exchange of memoranda with the Department of Justice, wanted to be certain that what was happening at the black site was in accordance with what had been legally agreed.
He had not anticipated that waterboarding would be used as often as it was. And he sent one of his most experienced colleagues to the black site, believed to be in Thailand, to find out.
Rizzo's colleague viewed all the 92 hours of video and concluded that the techniques were being legally applied, but he was uncomfortable about what he saw.
"He did say that portions of the tapes, particularly those of Zubaydah being waterboarded, were extraordinarily hard to watch," Rizzo told me.
"He [Zubaydah] was reacting visibly in a very disturbing way."
So was he being sick?
"He was experiencing some physical difficulties, I'll just leave it at that... 'tough to watch in places' was his term."
I asked Jose Rodriguez if he had seen the tapes. He said he had not. Was he aware that they showed Abu Zubaydah vomiting and screaming? He said he was not. He checked with his interrogators at the black site who said there was no vomiting or screaming.
"I don't know where you got that from", he said. "I don't know about screaming and vomiting but it's not a pretty sight."
Rodriguez knew the tapes were potentially a ticking time bomb and wanted to destroy them. He waited for three years with increasing exasperation at the apparent unwillingness of anybody on high to take responsibility for authorising their destruction.
Then when news of the CIA's secret black sites leaked, Rodriguez's patience ran out.
Believing he had the authority to do so, he ordered the 92 tapes to be minced in an industrial shredder.
"Our lawyers said it was legal," he said.
But Rizzo was not happy.
"I was stunned and angry and honestly a bit hurt. I made it clear to him, as did two CIA directors, that he did not have the authority to make a decision to destroy those tapes."
So I asked, "He disobeyed orders?"
"He did."
But Rodriguez is adamant that he acted legally and says his motive in ordering their destruction was to protect the identities of his CIA interrogators lest they suffer reprisals.
But there was more to it than that. Three days after the tapes had been shredded, a CIA memorandum, since released under America's Freedom of Information Act, reported comments by Jose Rodriguez:
"As Jose said, the heat from destroying [the tapes] is nothing compared to what it would be if the tapes got into the public domain - he said that out of context they would make us look terrible - it would be devastating to us. All in the room agreed."
I put this to Rodriguez and he was typically upfront about it.
"I said that, yes. If you're waterboarding somebody and they're naked, of course that was a concern of mine."
Despite all the controversies around the CIA's black sites and its interrogation programme, Jose Rodriguez stands by all that he did.
"I was honoured to serve my country after the 9/11 attacks. I am proud of the decisions that I took including the destruction of the tapes to protect the people who worked for me. I have no regrets."
No doubt defence lawyers at Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's trial will try and get access to the written records that exist of what was on the tapes and seek to question the CIA lawyer who viewed them.
But under the rules of the military tribunal that restrict any discussion of torture, they are unlikely to succeed.
Watch Peter Taylor's full interview with Jose Rodriguez on Newsnight on Wednesday 9 April 2012 at 22:30 BST on BBC Two.
Taylor dismissed Georgia Elwiss, Sonia Odedra and Thea Brookes in the space of five balls as she claimed 4-5.
Loughborough could only manage 108-9 despite being given a good start by Ellysse Perry (25) and Amy Jones (21).
England skipper Heather Knight (24) was run out for the Storm but Taylor's 34 helped see them home by five wickets.
The match was in the balance with three overs remaining as last year's runners-up, who were beaten by Southern Vipers in their opening match, still needed another 24 for victory.
Three boundaries off Rebecca Grundy eased the pressure and although Taylor was caught at mid-wicket off Georgia Elwiss (2-24), Sophie Luff (18 not out) hit the winning single with five balls to spare.
GBR 1, driven by John Jackson, were fifth, 0.11 seconds off a medal, as Russian pilot Alexander Zubkov, 39, finished 0.09 secs clear of Latvia.
United States won bronze while Lamin Deen and the GBR 2 crew were 19th.
Great Britain finished the Sochi 2014 Games 19th in the medal table, with one gold, one silver and two bronzes.
It has been a great race and to only finish 0.11 seconds off the medals is amazing
That haul of four medals equals the total they won at the inaugural Games in 1924.
Britain surpassed their three-medal Sochi target, thanks to Lizzy Yarnold (skeleton gold), the men's curlers (silver) Jenny Jones (snowboard slopestyle bronze) and the bronze won by the women's curling team on Thursday.
Jackson's four-man team of Stuart Benson, Bruce Tasker and Joel Fearon won a historic World Cup silver medal in December and finished second at last month's European Championships.
However, they were ranked 12th in the world heading into the Olympics and lay in seventh position after the first two runs on Saturday.
They climbed to sixth in the penultimate run on Sunday before finishing in fifth.
An analysis of their times from each run showed that they were twice the second quickest sled and were third once - but their opening run, where they were tenth - cost them.
"It's hard to think we've come so close to a medal," Jackson told BBC Sport. "Hopefully this will be enough to secure backing [from UK Sport] so we can continue to progress."
The 36-year-old pilot, who is also a royal marine sergeant, ruptured his Achilles tendon in July and only reached the Olympics after undergoing pioneering surgery.
"For a split second I thought potentially I may not be here [when it happened] but the support I've had from my team-mates since day one has been amazing," said Jackson.
"I am ashamed to say that I cried at the end but he had a fantastic run and the amount of speed he had proves how well he was driving. There were just a few guys out there who were a bit better.
"I think it's amazing that John's come from where he has been this last year [with the Achilles injury] and to still achieve what he has with fifth in the Olympic Games. I'd be quite afraid of them next year when they're back on the track in the World Cup."
Benson added: "We've always had belief in him and he drove superbly. I hope he stays around for another four years because that will mean I'll be here again."
Jackson told BBC Sport he plans to continue for "another couple of seasons" but is unlikely to compete through to the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, Korea.
GBR 2 pilot Deen, 32, who has been non-committal on his future prior to the Games says he is now determined to carry on in the British programme.
"It's been an amazing experience and although all of the runs didn't go as we would have hoped the guys have been fantastic and I want to come back a better pilot in 2018," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
The British bobsleigh team will now face an anxious wait for UK Sport to announce the amount of funding they will receive for the next four-year period.
Their four-man target was a top-six finish, which they achieved, but the women were 12th when chasing top-eight. A decision is due to be announced in June.
Mr Stuart was born in Toronto where he attended the city's Ontario College of Art and Design.
It was on a trip to Wales in 1953 that he had a chance meeting with Thomas.
The poet agreed to sit for him just a few months before he left for his last trip to America where he died, aged 39, in New York on 9 November 1953.
Mr Stuart described Thomas as "delightful" and he met him for sittings on three days in September 1953 in the poet's Boathouse and writing shed at Laugharne, Carmarthenshire.
While in west Wales in 1953, Mr Stuart met his wife of 60 years, Mair, and she was at his side when he died.
Mr Stuart produced three oil paintings and an oil sketch of Thomas in 1953.
The sketch is in the University of Texas and there is an oil painting in the State University of New York at Buffalo and one in the National Portrait Gallery, London.
Mr Stuart held on to the final painting of the poet, which hung at his home in the Uplands area of Swansea - just around the corner from Thomas's birthplace.
When Swansea hosted the 1995 Year of Literature, Mr Stuart became artist in residence at Ty Lleyn/ Dylan Thomas Centre - a role he was to hold for 15 years.
The artist's other portraits include US President Jimmy Carter, Sir Kyffin Williams, Cliff Morgan, Aeronwy Thomas, Gwen Watkins and Sir George Martin.
Geoff Haden, chairman of the Dylan Thomas Society, said: "Gordon was a lovely, gentle person with an impish sense of humour, which he maintained until the last."
Labour launched the attack as the mayor previously said all of the Greater London Authority's (GLA) work experience posts should be paid.
Labour said Mr Johnson's failure to even pay some of his own staff showed his support for the low paid was just "empty rhetoric".
City Hall said the post was a "traineeship", not an "apprenticeship".
Mr Johnson told London Assembly Labour member Fiona Twycross in June last year "all formal GLA work experience" should pay the London living wage, currently at £9.15 an hour.
But the following September, in a letter to Ms Twycross, he said because trainees carried out basic work such as admin, it would "not be appropriate" for them to be paid like apprentices.
City Hall's placement offers two weeks' "employability and work readiness training" and 10 weeks' work experience.
It is an administration role including photocopying, filing, maintaining electronic files, updating databases, diary management and event support.
The GLA said it would pay travel expenses and for lunch.
Ms Twycross said: "There are no two ways about it; if you're in work you should be being paid. It's really that simple.
"It is shameless hypocrisy on the mayor's part to publically support the living wage whilst forcing young people to work unpaid for three months at City Hall."
A spokesperson for the mayor said: "Traineeships are a government programme for people who need work experience and are not yet ready to secure apprenticeships or paid work."
They said City Hall's traineeship offered up to two days of training per week plus work experience.
Trainees could then apply for an internship or a paid job, they added.
But City Hall has previously said that last year none of its trainees got an apprenticeship at the end of their work.
After Wednesday's win over Sheffield United, Brown's side are just six points outside the top six.
"If we carry on like this, with seven games to go we might get enough points to get into the play offs," the 56-year-old told BBC Essex.
"It's not rocket science," he continued. "It's simple mathematics."
The victory over the Blades moved Southend, who won promotion from League Two last season, up to eighth in the table and was the perfect response to their defeat at Rochdale on Good Friday.
"It's a landmark victory for me because Sheffield United's a big club," Brown continued. "They have lot of history, a lot of tradition and we've put them to bed.
"I've only thrown this system at the players two days ago and every credit to them, they've grabbed hold of everything we've told them.
"We've a lot to play for and there's a lot of pressure on, but I am not taking my foot off the gas yet."
The film, which has topped the UK box office for the last two weeks, took $115.2m (£74.2m). It was second only to 2007's Shrek the Third, beating the opening of all of the Toy Story movies.
Jurassic World dropped to second in its fifth week with $18.1m (£11.66m).
Disney Pixar's Inside Out took $17.1m in its fourth week in US cinemas.
Minions, which features the voices of Sandra Bullock and Jon Hamm, puts the spotlight on the babbling yellow, pill-shaped servants from the two Despicable Me films as they search for a new master.
Directed by Peter Coffin, who also voices the Minions, it topped the box office in 29 of the other 30 countries where it opened, according to box office tracker Rentrak, including France, Mexico and Russia.
"Given that they seek to work for the most evil people on the planet, they give off this incredible happiness," said Universal's Duncan Clark on the Minions' success.
"I think the quality they're proving to have is a common denominator appeal across all cultures."
Universal is planning to release Despicable Me 3 in the summer of 2017.
Several other new films debuted in the top 10, including ad-libbed high-school horror movie The Gallows, in fifth place with $10m.
Sharing the hand-held camera technique made famous by 1999's The Blair Witch Project, the film comes from the production company behind the Paranormal Activity and Insidious franchises.
Ryan Reynolds' new sci-fi thriller Self/less - about a near-death billionaire who transmits himself into a younger body - was at number eight with $5.4m.
"Let's make sure we get good capital allocation... build a culture of ownership... flexible use of financial assets... productive science... opportunity to domicile... putting together the headcount," were among his phrases as he faced MPs last month, much to the frustration of committee members.
"I asked a simple question," committee chairman Adrian Bailey said at one point.
Use of jargon is not a new phenomenon, but businesses are leaving their customers and even their own staff scratching their heads about where their firms are going and where they themselves stand.
"This jargon is tribal and reinforces belonging," says Alan Stevens, director of Vector Consultants, which advises companies on culture. "It's part of the psyche. But it's not useful."
The current buzzword is "alignment", which Mr Stevens admits he uses too. It describes looking at things from the customer's perspective, which ironically would involve using a lot less jargon, because it is introspective and alienates people, he says.
Another reason for the rise of business-speak is its defensive qualities.
"We sometimes use jargon to avoid dealing with problems head on," says Prof Joe Nellis, director of Cranfield School of Management.
But is it a problem? Yes, says Rory Sutherland, vice-chairman of advertising agency Ogilvy and Mather UK.
"It's become uglier and uglier," he says.
Some technical terms are difficult to replace, he adds. But the danger emerges when a fashionable word becomes an uncontested good.
Sometimes this can work well: "downsizing" made it normal for those with expensive mortgages to move to a smaller home. There was a word for it, so conceiving of it became easier.
But an example of the less useful, says Mr Sutherland, is the proliferation of the words "outsourcing" and "offshoring". That is, sending jobs overseas, where workers are often cheaper.
Its overuse is shown by a trend now for the reverse: "onshoring". Jobs in call centres are returning to the UK because sending them abroad didn't work.
Where businesses wanted to save money, offshoring became the norm, and people were less prone to question it because of its fashionable business jargon status.
What was ignored was the fact that sacking experienced staff and hiring fresh faces with no experience of the company has a cost of its own. So as well as being jarring, these words can be destructive.
"If employees don't get better with time then you are doing something very banal," Mr Sutherland says.
Another problem is a word or phrase without a definition.
"Market advantage," says Davide Sola, associate professor of strategy at ESCP Europe Business School. "Is it having a bigger market share? Having the ability to charge a premium price? Access to more markets across the globe?"
Everyone may use the phrase for their own purpose, he says.
A lot of jargon in economics has been borrowed from the military, says Prof Nellis. Words and phrases like campaign, rally the troops, follow the leader, keep your powder dry, even recruitment.
The problem, though, is military language is not designed to brook dissent or new ideas, but for obedience.
The military itself isn't immune. BBC journalist Alistair Cooke, broadcaster of Letter from America, remembered a choice phrase from World War Two, during a meeting of commanders in General Eisenhower's headquarters in London.
An American colonel said: "How many ICPs have been counted?"
"What," asked Winston Churchill, "are ICPs?"
"Impaired combatant personnel, sir."
"Never let me hear that detestable phrase again. If you're talking about British troops, you will refer to them as wounded soldiers."
Alistair Cooke concluded: "Muddy language proceeds from muddy minds."
But perceptions may have changed over time.
Consider this BBC documentary from 50 years ago, where various leaders were interviewed from the most bumf-ridden business of all, finance.
The narrator complains: "Some of the wizards of finance are suave, consultant gentlemen. Some of them have the air of astrologers. Many of them talk a private language."
But jargon in the programme itself is hard to find.
AG Ellinger, an investment adviser, explains his use of charts to predict stock price performance: "People think stocks and shares go up and down because of obscure reasons about companies. They really go up and down because people buy and sell them."
Nicholas Stacey, chairman of Chesham Amalgamations and Investments, talks about the advice he gives to businesses planning to merge.
"Even after we have put in anything like six, or seven, or nine months' work, sometimes all our efforts and all our diplomacy and all our knowledge has been for nowt," he says, "for the very simple reason that at the final clinch at the negotiation, something, somehow goes wrong."
Would a banker today say something like that?
Part of the backlash from business watchers, including investors and regulators, is due to more study of what this jargon means, says David Larcker, accounting professor at Stanford Business School.
"The linguistic patterns for business communication are fascinating," he says. Nearly every business conference call held with market analysts and investors is now transcribed and is searchable, he says. They can be put in a computer, analysed and tested.
"The media is more brutal than before," adds Richard Hytner, deputy chairman of Saatchi and Saatchi. "People are watching every word spoken."
Business leaders such as Pfizer's Mr Read need to drop jargon quickly or risk making it a permanent fixture, says Steve Jenner, spokesman for the Plain English Campaign.
"If everyone in that company is used to this sort of nonsense being bandied about by management, they soon get the idea that this is the key to advancement within the company.
"And so business jargon becomes self-perpetuating and its use can accelerate alarmingly until some brave person stands up and says: 'This is nonsense. Stop it.'"
Tattooists would be awarded hygiene grades to display in studio windows.
The scheme would "boost safety standards" and prevent backstreet tattooists, say the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH).
Although voluntary, customers would "draw their own conclusions" if studios opted out, said CIEH.
The issue was discussed at its annual conference in Cardiff.
Under the proposed system hygiene grades of between one and four would be awarded to tattooists.
In early 2014, tattooists will be approached by their local council in Wales and invited to take part.
A CIHE survey showed that 70% of people with a tattoo and 78% of potential customers said a hygiene rating scheme would influence their decision of where to get a tattoo.
Tattooists surveyed said that a hygiene rating scheme would give them a commercial advantage over poor operators and boost the safety image of the industry.
Julie Barratt, director of the CIEH in Wales, said when choosing a safe tattooist, people didn't know what they were looking for.
"You can look at the price, the quality of the artwork and an awful lot of people look at how long they have to wait for an appointment, few people look at the hygiene," she said.
"It's like in a restaurant you look at ambience, menu, choices, you don't think of what happens in the kitchen. When you have a tattoo you are essentially saying to someone: pierce my skin and introduce a foreign substance that will stay there for the rest of my life.
"We're not saying people shouldn't have tattoos, it's lifestyle choice, but if you do have one choose somewhere safe."
Dalye Perkins, 23, from Llanharry, has spent around ??1,800 on tattoos and his first aged 16 as a post-GCSE present.
He said that the rating system is a good idea.
"You don't know what is going on behind the scenes, you want to walk in and see a certificate on the wall, before having something done first and then finding out [how clean they are].
"I didn't check enough when I had my first tattoo because it was spur of the moment decision. It looked terrible, the lines weren't straight, the picture wasn't right. I had to get it corrected.
"Since that experience I have checked [tattooists] a lot more."
Patrick Bates, 31, from Brighton, has three-quarters of his body covered in ink, including his head and eyelids. He said that if there was a studio with a lower rating than the others he would "reconsider" using it.
"You would hope the studio would have the top rating, if I saw anything less then I wouldn't go there."
Ant Ross, 31, a tattooist at Redskin Tattoo in Bangor, said people should take their time choosing studios.
"First impressions are a massive thing. A studio should smell clean and look clean. Check for mopped floors. We have a hygiene certificate on the desk when you walk in.
Mr Ross described the most common hygiene slip-up in tattooing as leaving gloves on to top-up ink. "That's a big cause of cross contamination, it's so easy to transfer infection. Everything should be disposable apart from the tools themselves.
Mr Ross also said "a rating system would disrupt any bad habits that tattooists had adopted and make them change their routine for the better.
"Some people may be annoyed with changing their routine, but business would go to the better tattooists". | Ten thousand Hungarians have taken to the streets of Budapest to rally against the government in a protest dubbed "public outrage day".

The year-long assessment of publicly funded legal advice and representation will be chaired by Carnegie Trust Chairman Martyn Evans.
Legal Affairs Minister Annabelle Ewing told MSPs the current approach is based on legislation almost 30 years old.
Both the Scottish Legal Aid Board and the Law Society of Scotland have called for a more modern and efficient system.
Mr Evans will lead an expert advisory group including legal aid board chief Colin Lancaster, several members of the Law Society and the Faculty of Advocates, and representatives from Police Scotland and Citizens Advice Scotland.
In 2015-16, £137.8m was spent on legal aid, the majority going on criminal legal assistance.
The previous Scottish government passed some reforms in 2013 aimed at cutting the bill.
Ms Ewing said: "I am proud we have a legal aid system that enforces people's rights and upholds social justice. Our guiding principle is to focus legal aid on those who need it most and we have maintained access to publicly funded legal aid in both civil and criminal cases.
"With legislation that dates back to the 1980s, change is needed and the time is right to conduct a comprehensive review of legal aid. This is about ensuring we have a flexible and progressive system that is sustainable and cost effective."
Mr Evans said: "The provision of timely and effective legal assistance is a necessary part of a fair and equitable society. It's important therefore that Scotland has a system that delivers the best possible support to those who rely on it.
"I am pleased to be asked to chair the review of legal aid and, over the coming months, I look forward to engaging with and hearing from the widest range of people with an interest in this area." | The Scottish government has announced an independent review of the country's legal aid system. | 38,828,878 | 361 | 18 | false |

But Benitez expects the former Spurs player to be fit for his country's Euro 2016 qualifiers against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Andorra next month.
"It is a small injury and it appears he recovers quickly," said Benitez.
Bale has scored six of Wales' nine goals in Euro 2016 qualifying.
Benitez believes he should be available for their two fixtures in October, which they enter needing a point to qualify for their first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.
"We are optimistic," he said.

The claims were made during the first debate on the Rural Needs Bill.
The legislation is intended to make executive departments and councils consider the impact of policies on people in rural Northern Ireland.
The agriculture minister said "rural-proofing" already in place is "patchy".
The bill would put it on a statutory footing.
Democratic Unionist Party MLA Sydney Anderson said rural dwellers had "lost many services" and that had a major impact on vulnerable groups like the elderly.
He said it was a "small bill that covers a big subject" and would be of interest to many people living in rural communities, which he described as an "essential part of the fabric of society".
Traditional Unionist Voice leader Jim Allister said there was a "dearth of detail" in the bill.
It will apply only to executive departments and councils and any other public body included in a list by the Department of Agriculture.
He said if organisations that delivered services, such as the Education Authority and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA), weren't included on that list it would be a "fundamental mistake".
He added it was often those bodies that took the "detrimental decisions" of which people complained.
Mr Allister was particularly critical of the NIEA, which he said was "anti-rural".
He said it had blocked "go-ahead" poultry farmers who wished to extend over concerns about ammonia influence on a "derelict bog" in the middle of his constituency. | People living in the countryside have been "disadvantaged and neglected" by cuts in the provision of schools, banks and public transport, the Northern Ireland Assembly has been told. | 34,845,951 | 329 | 34 | false |
The number of women claiming jobseekers' allowance has also fallen by 8,900 to 27,900 - the lowest total since February 2009.
Figures showed 71.4% of women in Scotland were working, compared to 68.1% across the UK as a whole.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney said it was a "real success story".
He added: "2014 has seen Scotland consistently outperform the UK on employment, unemployment and inactivity rates, and Scotland's economy continues to go from strength to strength
"Over the last two years, the gap between male and female employment rates has narrowed in Scotland, unlike the UK - with the gap closing by 3.6 percentage points in Scotland."
The male employment rate north of the border is 5.5 points higher than the female rate, compared to 9.1 points in the 2012.
In the UK, the gap has gone from 10.3 points two years ago to 9.7 points in 2014.
Mr Swinney added: "As the Scottish economy grows our task is to ensure that everyone is able to benefit from that economic success.
"It is a top priority of this government to tackle the inequalities that blight our society and by strengthening and stabilising our economy with an active and engaged workforce we can go a long way to make that happen.
"With discussion on further powers for the Scottish Parliament now taking place it is essential that we have the full tools we need to support employment opportunities for everyone in Scotland."
Scottish Labour finance, constitution and economy spokeswoman Jackie Baillie said: "If the Scottish government were serious about tackling inequalities they would not have voted against the living wage five times in 2014.
"Over a quarter of a million women in Scotland are paid less than the living wage and yet when Scottish Labour proposed extending the living wage to more low paid jobs and banning zero hour contracts the SNP voted with the Tories to block it.
"In May Scots have the chance to vote for a UK Labour government which will ban exploitative zero hour contracts, raise the minimum wage, and offer a jobs guarantee to our young people.

The American commandos were quickly engaged in a firefight, during which Abu Sayyaf was killed. But their original goal was to capture and interrogate him, apparently in an effort to improve their understanding of how IS works.
It raised the question of how much is known about the structure of an organisation that rapidly overran large parts of Syria and Iraq last year, and has been able to hold onto much of that territory despite months of air strikes by a US-led coalition.
On a broad level the shape of Islamic State may seem fairly clear.
Its stated goal has been to establish a "caliphate" to rule over the entire Muslim world, under a single leader and in line with Islamic law, or Sharia.
Unlike some other insurgent or militant groups, it holds territory that it seeks to govern. It has therefore set up a bureaucratic system that in many aspects mimics that of a modern state.
The leader or "caliph" is Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai, better known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
He sits at the top of a structure of advisory councils and administrative departments that are replicated at regional and local levels. These oversee a range of functions and services that include security and intelligence, finance, media, health provision, and family or legal disputes.
The plans for Islamic State's rapid rise were detailed in the papers of Haji Bakr, the man described in a recent report by Germany's Der Spiegel as the group's architect.
He laid out a detailed strategy for the takeover and administration of towns that focused heavily on surveillance and espionage, drawing on the experience of a group of Iraqi former intelligence officials.
Haji Bakr was killed in northern Syria in January 2014, several months before his group's sudden expansion.
Yet material on the current structure of IS, and some of the names of the people with positions of responsibility, have also surfaced through administrative documents that have been leaked or seized.
Aymenn al-Tamimi, a fellow at the US based think-tank Middle East Forum, has been building up an archive that so far includes more than 120 IS operational documents.
These give directions on everything from strict punishments to child vaccinations, fishing rights, and an order for lorry drivers to give lifts to IS fighters. They are issued for "provinces" as far away as eastern Libya.
"Because there's so much available from these documents we do know a lot more about [IS] than other groups," Mr Tamimi says.
The organisational structure became clearer in June 2014 when the establishment of a caliphate was announced shortly after the capture of the Iraqi city of Mosul, along with much of the north and west of the country.
"The presentation becomes much more formalised and centralised once the caliphate is declared," Mr Tamimi explains.
One example is Islamic State's media operation, which is replicated through the various areas under the group's control and appears to be carefully co-ordinated.
After the Nigerian group Boko Haram pledged allegiance to IS there was a series of videos from different places of people on the street stating their support for the move. More recently, there was a flurry of videos promoting IS-run hospitals and health services.
Another example was an order issued in December 2014 by the group's general supervisory committee giving operatives across IS-held territory an order to disable GPS devices within one month.
Yet that order was given because of the need for IS fighters to avoid detection as targets for air strikes, and as the campaign against IS has escalated, the group has tried not to give away clues about its operations and the men who run them.
IS talks very little about its leadership, and beyond Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the group's spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, little is clear about the identity and roles of senior figures.
There were said to be two deputy leaders - Abu Ali al-Anbari in Syria and Abu Muslim al-Turkmani in Iraq.
But last week the Iraqi defence ministry claimed that the group's second-in-command, who they identified as Abdul Rahman Mustafa Mohammed or Abu Alaa al-Afari, had been killed in an air strike.
Iraqi sources identified him as the same man that the US had offered a $7m (£4.5m) reward for, a "senior IS official" named as Abdul Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli.
There was some suggestion on jihadist social media accounts that Afari and Anbari were the same person, but also scepticism about Iraq's claim.
One problem for those trying to decipher the workings of IS is that there has been relatively little dissent in its ranks, limiting the amount of loose chatter on the internet and the flow of intelligence.
Another is the extensive use of pseudonyms and aliases - the US listed 12 for Qaduli alone. And Der Spiegel's report spoke of a complex parallel command structure staffed by additional commanders and powerbrokers.
Among the figures that have surfaced in the past are theologian Turki al-Binali, and military commanders Omar Shishani and Shaker Wahib al-Fahdawi.
But there is no consensus on the true extent of their influence, or their formal roles. Some apparently important figures may be given prominence as decoys, fall rapidly out of favour, or be killed.
"The general problem is not knowing who is at the middle or even senior level," says Mr al-Tamimi. "These people are designed to be replaceable."
That may be the case with Abu Sayyaf, who few people appeared to have heard about before the US announced his death on Saturday.
US officials later said his real name was Fathi bin Awn bin Jildi Murad al-Tunisi, though he also had a number of aliases.
Abu Sayyaf's wife, identified as Umm Sayyaf, is now being debriefed in Iraq, where she was brought along with a reportedly large amount of electronic data seized in the raid.
Intelligence officials will be hoping that it sheds valuable light on IS's current decision-making structure and senior operatives. | In a ground mission in eastern Syria last weekend, US special forces killed Abu Sayyaf, a man they described as playing a key role in Islamic State's oil and gas operations. | 32,829,096 | 1,426 | 43 | false |

Best, capped 67 times by Ireland, was omitted in favour of Richard Hibbard, Dylan Hartley and Tom Youngs.
"He struggled a bit in the Six Nations with his line-out throwing and lost confidence," Wood told BBC 5 live.
"If that was the reason for him not being picked, I think it's a bit short-sighted."
Wales (15) - Leigh Halfpenny, Alex Cuthbert, George North, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Mike Phillips, Gethin Jenkins, Adam Jones, Richard Hibbard, Ian Evans, Alun-Wyn Jones, Toby Faletau, Dan Lydiate, Justin Tipuric, Sam Warburton
England (10) - Manu Tuilagi, Owen Farrell, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole, Matt Stevens, Mako Vunipola, Dylan Hartley, Tom Youngs, Geoff Parling, Tom Croft.
Ireland (9) - Rob Kearney, Tommy Bowe, Brian O'Driscoll, Jonathan Sexton, Conor Murray, Cian Healy, Paul O'Connell, Jamie Heaslip, Sean O'Brien
Scotland (3) - Stuart Hogg, Sean Maitland, Richie Gray
Wood believes 30-year-old Best, who has captained Ulster and also Ireland, would have thrived in the Lions environment.
"I am a big Rory Best fan," said Wood, who won 58 caps for Ireland and toured with the Lions in 1997 and 2001. "He is a very good thrower, and his skills and ability are permanent. I think he has it in his leadership and in his all-round play. He is a really good quality guy and I think all he wants is the Lions - this is the thing that is missing in him.
"There is something vital about him and the way he leads from the front. Ireland suffered a bit this year and I think he has suffered because of the team, not because of himself.
"Being hooker is the loneliest place in the world throwing the ball into a line-out when you don't have confidence. Some of Ireland's calling and lifting in the Six Nations wasn't as sharp as it should be, and as the matches were going on you could see his confidence coming down.
"He lost the certainty of where his jumpers were going to be, where his lifters were, where he was going to have to put the ball. You could just see it unravelling a little bit."
Lions forwards coach Graham Rowntree revealed that in tight selection calls such as hooker, the management team resorted to individual player statistics to help inform their decisions.
Wood believes Hartley, who lost his starting spot with England to Youngs during the Six Nations, is fortunate to make the Lions squad.
"I would have left out Dylan Hartley," he added. "I don't know that he has done enough. When Northampton played Ulster in the Heineken Cup this season, Rory Best came out on top on both occasions."
Three men were wounded in the shooting at a crowded bar in Olathe on Wednesday night and one of them later died.
A barman told local media a man used racial slurs before opening fire. Two of the victims, including the deceased, are Indian.
Adam Purinton, 51, has been charged with premeditated first-degree murder and the FBI is investigating a motive.
Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, died while his friend Alok Madasani, 32, remains in hospital in a stable condition.
The two men were engineers at US technology company Garmin and studied in India, according to their social media profiles.
The other injured man, Ian Grillot, 24, had apparently intervened to stop the violence, according to witnesses.
Speaking from his hospital bed to local TV News channel KMBC, he brushed aside suggestions that he was a hero.
"I was just doing what anyone should have done for another human being," he said. "It's not about where he's from or his ethnicity.
"We're all humans. So I just felt I did what was naturally right to do."
Mr Purinton is accused of shooting customers at Austin's Bar and Grill as they watched the University of Kansas basketball team play on television.
A bystander told the Kansas City Star that just before opening fire the gunman shouted: "Get out of my country."
The suspect allegedly fled on foot and was arrested five hours later at an Applebee's restaurant just over the state border, 80 miles (130km) away in Clinton, Missouri.
The Kansas City Star reported that he told a staff member at the dining chain he needed a place to hide because he had killed two Middle Eastern men.
A barman there tipped off police that he had a customer who had admitted shooting two men and the officers arrived to detain the suspect.
Olathe Police Chief Steve Menke declined to comment on the reports of racial abuse but said his force was working with the FBI "to investigate any and all aspects of this horrific crime".
The killing dominated news bulletins in India and social media, where some blamed Donald Trump's presidency.
Siddharth, an Indian actor who uses one name, tweeted to his 2.6 million followers: "Don't be shocked! Be angry! Trump is spreading hate. This is a hate crime! RIP #SrinivasKuchibhotla."
Mr Madasani's father, Jaganmohan Reddy, also called it a hate crime, adding that such incidents had increased in number following Mr Trump's election.
Mr Kuchibhotla was from the Indian city of Hyderabad. His parents, Madhusudhan Rao and Vardhini Rao, were too stunned by news of his death to comment, the Associated Press reported.
The Indian external affairs ministry said two Indian consulate officials from Houston and Dallas have been sent to Kansas City to meet Mr Madasani and arrange the repatriation of Mr Kuchibhotla's body.
The US Embassy in New Delhi decried the shooting.
"The United States is a nation of immigrants and welcomes people from across the world to visit, work, study, and live," said Charge d'Affaires MaryKay Carlson.
"US authorities will investigate thoroughly and prosecute the case, though we recognise that justice is small consolation to families in grief."
The move comes after credit rating agency Moody's assigned Aberdeen an Aa2 rating last month.
The council said the money would go towards infrastructure schemes as part of its capital plan.
It has the backing of the Scottish government, which believes other councils could go down a similar route.
Council leader Jennifer Laing said: "This is a remarkable achievement by this council in securing this investment in the future of our city."
For years campaigners have said cancer rates in some villages near factories and polluted waterways have shot up.
But the term "cancer village" has no technical definition and the ministry's report did not elaborate on it.
There have been many calls for China to be more transparent on pollution.
The latest report from the environment ministry is entitled "Guard against and control risks presented by chemicals to the environment during the 12th Five-Year period (2011-2015)".
It says that the widespread production and consumption of harmful chemicals forbidden in many developed nations are still found in China.
"The toxic chemicals have caused many environmental emergencies linked to water and air pollution," it said.
The report goes on to acknowledge that such chemicals could pose a long-term risk to human health, making a direct link to the so-called "cancer villages".
"There are even some serious cases of health and social problems like the emergence of cancer villages in individual regions," it said.
The BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing says that as China has experienced rapid development, stories about so-called cancer villages have become more frequent.
And China has witnessed growing public anger over air pollution and industrial waste caused by industrial development.
Media coverage of conditions in these so-called "cancer villages" has been widespread. In 2009, one Chinese journalist published a map identifying dozens of apparently affected villages.
In 2007 the BBC visited the small hamlet of Shangba in southern China where one scientist was studying the cause and effects of pollution on the village.
He found high levels of poisonous heavy metals in the water and believed there was a direct connection between incidences of cancer and mining in the area.
Until now, there has been little comment from the government on such allegations.
Environmental lawyer Wang Canfa, who runs a pollution aid centre in Beijing, told the AFP news agency that it was the first time the "cancer village" phrase had appeared in a ministry document.
Last month - Beijing - and several other cities - were blanketed in smog that soared past levels considered hazardous by the World Health Organisation.
The choking pollution provoked a public outcry and led to a highly charged debate about the costs of the country's rapid economic development, our correspondent says.
Conte jumped into the arms of his Chelsea support staff before congratulating his triumphant players at the conclusion of an explosive 3-1 win - while City counterpart Guardiola was left to ponder the ramifications of City's first home league defeat this season and two damaging red cards for Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho.
Conte, like Guardiola a Premier League newcomer, has no such problems after an eighth successive Premier League victory.
Conte had his epiphany after a 2-1 defeat at home by Liverpool and a desperate 3-0 loss at Arsenal on 24 September left Chelsea languishing in eighth place, eight points behind then leaders City after six games.
If managers with a lesser reputation than Guardiola had made this decision, it would have been subjected to far greater scrutiny
The Italian decided this was the moment he must stay true to his tactical self, reverted to three at the back, moved veteran defender Branislav Ivanovic and midfielder Cesc Fabregas aside and brought about an instant transformation.
Conte's deadline day signings David Luiz and Marcos Alonso have been pivotal to the change. The maverick Brazilian looks well protected in Chelsea's defensive set-up, while Alonso provides left-sided balance to complement the rejuvenated Victor Moses on the right.
The results speak for themselves. Conte is the first Chelsea manager to win eight consecutive Premier League games in a season since Jose Mourinho recorded nine wins in a row in 2006-07.
Fast forward from that loss to Arsenal and Chelsea now lead City by four points.
Conte was brave, decisive and has turned Chelsea's season around and sparked renewed optimism in a team that was sinking under Mourinho 12 months ago.
Guardiola, in contrast, has still to produce hard evidence that arguably his biggest decision since arriving at Manchester City has been justified.
The Spaniard's glowing reputation and outstanding pedigree, backed up by great successes at Barcelona - where he won two Champions Leagues - and Bayern Munich, means his wisdom is rarely, if ever, questioned.
When he made it clear England goalkeeper Joe Hart had no future at City and sent him on loan to Torino, it was very much a case of bringing in his own man when Claudio Bravo arrived from Barcelona in a £17m deal.
For all Hart's faults - and he is far from perfect - there has been nothing to suggest the 33-year-old Bravo is actually as good as his predecessor, let alone better.
If managers with a lesser reputation than Guardiola had made this decision, it would have been subjected to far greater scrutiny.
Bravo, whose unique selling point was apparently his ability with the ball at his feet, does not seem quite so adept at what might be regarded as goalkeeping's more basic challenges, such as making saves and generally giving off an air of authority.
He is hardly a relaxing, reassuring presence. When Willian raced on to Diego Costa's pass to score Chelsea's crucial second goal, Bravo's positioning and attempts to save actually ensured the chance was easier to take than it really was.
To raise a question mark against Guardiola may be seen as sacrilege by some - but Bravo will need to produce a lot more to even stand comparison with Hart.
Conte's stability and selection has reaped a rich reward. He made one change for this game, his first in those eight winning matches, replacing injured Nemanja Matic with Cesc Fabregas.
Chelsea have the lowest number of changes in the Premier League this season, making just eight alterations to their starting line-up over the course of the campaign.
Of course this part of Conte's life is made a lot easier by not having midweek matches because Chelsea are not involved in Europe and have been eliminated from the EFL Cup. He does not have to cope with the dangers of excess demands on his players.
Guardiola has no such luxuries but still chose to make six changes from their previous Premier League game, the 2-1 win at Burnley, even though City had a blank week before this meeting with Chelsea.
The Burnley game followed a Champions League tie at Borussia Monchengladbach, but Guardiola's much-changed team follows a pattern. City have made 46 changes to their starting XI this season, more than any other club.
He has also changed his defensive formations, sometimes using four while reverting to three in an attempt to subdue Chelsea.
Guardiola has a wider spectrum of resources available to him but City look unsettled at the back in particular and there was a chaotic air to some of their defending, especially Nicolas Otamendi, when Chelsea were able to get their rearguard.
While Chelsea reel off the three-pointers, City struggle for consistency. Of course, had Kevin de Bruyne not wasted an open goal with City leading 1-0 Saturday's post-mortem examination might have been very different - but as it is they have kept just one clean sheet at home in the Premier League this season, and only two in their 14 games.
And at Etihad Stadium, which Guardiola would like to see become a fortress, they have won only three of their first seven games.
Chelsea look like a side based on stability and consistency; City look a team still searching for their true identity.
Conte is characterised as the hot-blooded Italian, a cauldron of emotion always bubbling just beneath the surface, while Guardiola is regarded as the cerebral, cultured coach who is the ultimate smooth operator.
And yet, when the pressure boiled over in the closing stages, it was Guardiola's team who cracked and lost their cool as the pain of an important defeat proved too much.
City, and their supporters, were ticking all afternoon on the back of what they regarded as a series of injustices inflicted by referee Anthony Taylor in the shape of rejected penalty appeals and one incident when Luiz clearly stepped in Sergio Aguero's path as he threatened to race clear following a misunderstanding that also involved Cesar Azpilicueta.

It all proved too much for Aguero, who was rightly shown red for a horrendous high tackle on Luiz while in the ensuing chaotic scenes that involved players and staff and threatened to stumble over into the crowd, Fernandinho was also sent off for grabbing Fabregas.
Fabregas has a knack of getting involved in these situations and it was clear that Fernandinho, who did not go quietly, felt he had been as much sinned-against as sinner.
And, in an almost symbolic moment, it was the old warrior Diego Costa - who has often given the impression he could cause a mass brawl in an empty room - who was acting as peacemaker.
It met with the approval of manager Conte, who cautioned Costa about his brushes with discipline after he diced with red cards at home to West Ham United and away to Watford earlier this season.
Conte said: "Diego is showing he is using his passion in the right way and I am very happy about that."
It may just have illustrated the difference between the sides at the moment. Chelsea were cold-blooded, ruthless and with the confidence this sort of golden run brings.
City play some wonderful football, are still very much title contenders, but must find the cool, killer touch that eludes them, especially at home.
Chelsea look fiercely well-drilled, organised and gifted under Conte. It is all going very smoothly after an uncertain start.
Conte may wish to make some additions around the edges in January - but the top-class striker and quality central defensive additions he wants may have to wait until the summer.

Can the same be said for Guardiola?
He will never change his playing style or philosophy on the game but he must surely address the defensive deficiencies that are clearly City's Achilles heel?
England centre-back John Stones may be a work in progress, once again guilty of over-playing against Chelsea, but at £47.5m he is clearly City's defensive cornerstone.
The priority needs to be finding an upgrade on Otamendi, who was bullied mercilessly by Costa. He escaped him far too comfortably to score his equaliser and spun him with embarrassing ease to set up Willian for the second.
Guardiola, who has been linked with Southampton's Virgil van Dijk, may also have trouble prising away top targets in January - but this performance will have surely brought what needs to be done into sharper focus.
Cricket Australia wants to give players experience with the Dukes-made ball.
The England and Wales Cricket Board uses the Dukes ball in international matches, but Australia use Kookaburra.
"Changing the ball can be a significant factor," said Pat Howard, Cricket Australia's general manager.
The Dukes ball will be used in the second part of the Sheffield Shield - Australia's premier first-class competition - from next year, while the Kookaburra ball will continue to be used in the first part of the season.
The Aussies have not won an Ashes series in England since 2001, with their difficulties against the seaming and swinging ball, and their own bowlers' inability to produce as much movement as England's attack, often cited as reasons.
Australia will host the next Ashes series in 2017-18 before the sides return to England in 2019.
Howard insists switching between the brands, which behave differently through the air and off the pitch, is not a "minor consideration".
"In recent times Australian teams travelling to England haven't adjusted well to local conditions and the swinging Dukes ball," he added.
"We have been on record saying that we will look at ways to address this deficiency and believe giving players greater experience with the Dukes ball is one way of doing just that."
The Lancashire fast bowler overtook Sir Ian Botham's milestone of 383 wickets last year to become England's most prolific bowler of all time.
The Burnley-born 33-year-old said becoming the nation's record Test wicket-taker was yet to sink in.
Anderson said he "felt very fortunate to have made a career out of cricket."
He added: "Obviously I've played for England for over 10 years and to be recognised for that is really special for me and a huge honour for myself and my family."
The Lancastrian has now amassed more than 430 Test wickets, but said he had still not come to terms with becoming the leading wicket-taker - a moment that came during the tour of the West Indies last spring.
After being made an OBE for services to cricket, he said: "It was a real surreal moment for me. Obviously Sir Ian Botham is someone I've looked up to as a child growing up - and to pass him, it still hasn't sunk in yet.
"Again, I'm just lucky I've managed to play the game long enough to be able to overtake him and contribute to English cricket as I have."
Anderson played in England's Test series victory over South Africa last month.
A former MP for Billericay in Essex, Ms Gorman trained as a teacher before being elected in 1987.
She was a prominent figure in the rebellions over Europe that nearly brought down John Major's government.
She had the Conservative whip withdrawn for refusing to back the EC Finance Bill in 1994.
Regarded as a talented but maverick politician, Ms Gorman was also known for her public enthusiasm for hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
In recent years, she shifted her allegiance to UKIP, and voted for the party at the general election in May.
She held the Billericay seat until 2001.
The Maastricht Treaty, which came into force in November 1993, was also the blueprint for what was to be Europe's biggest project for the next decade - economic and monetary union.
It defined the three stages of EMU, which eventually led to the single currency, and set out the convergence criteria or economic tests that member states have to pass.
The treaty also introduced integration in employment and social issues - at least for some members.
The UK negotiated an opt-out of the so-called social chapter - a part of the treaty which was eventually adopted as a protocol and which covered issues such as workers' pay and health and safety.
Although, after a change of government, the UK did finally sign up to the social chapter, another aspect of Maastricht - subsidiarity - has remained a bugbear for Europe.
One of her friends, the Conservative MP, Sir Bill Cash, said he was "extremely sad".
"She really was a real trouper, she was tremendously loyal to us, she understood what was going on in that Maastricht Treaty.
"And she was completely determined to play a full role as a patriotic backbencher. And nothing would deter her. I don't think the whips had a slightest chance with her if I may say so.
"And the truth is that she was a wonderful fighter. And I'm really sad to hear about this."
Ms Gorman was one of the right-wing Maastricht Treaty rebels in the Conservative government, believing the treaty gave away too many powers to Europe.
She was a leading supporter of John Redwood in his leadership challenge to John Major in 1995, but said none of the 1997 contenders for the Conservative leadership were worthy of being prime minister.
At the time she called William Hague "a prepubescent political marshmallow".
She first stood for Parliament in 1974 as an Anti-Heath Independent. She was a councillor for Westminster City Council from 1982 to 1986.
Easy right? Well the army hopes some of its young female soldiers will follow her example.
Officials have started an elite programme to deal with the lack of female athletes in certain sports, like weight-lifting, rowing and boxing.
Newsbeat tracks two 17-year-olds hoping to make it:
Chloe and Laura are among 70 young women who applied to take part in the first assessment day at Aldershot Military Garrison.
They are tested by performance scientists and after the easy bit (photos, height measurements) the hard work begins.
The pair are put through a vertical jump test, a timed 30-metre sprint, before a set of gruelling sprints on spin bikes.
Laura told Newsbeat: "I've never done the long jump before, so it's quite a good experience."
Chloe added: "It was alright, I don't think I'll be a jumper but it was good to try it out."
This is the first of many assessment days which will be taking place across army bases across the UK, as well as in Cyprus and Germany.
This programme is a joint venture by the British army, UK Sport and the English Institute of Sport, which wants to recruit in disciplines with too few female competitors.
Chloe told us: "I was hoping to do the winter Olympics, because I like watching it on TV.
"I really want to try out the skeleton."
She said: "I was curious of what it would involve and when I was younger I'd always wanted to be in the Olympics, so I thought I'd give it a try."
The £1.4m pound project is being funded by money raised by troops providing security during the London 2012 Olympics.
The hope is that the successful athletes will be seriously challenging for medals in Tokyo in 2020.
Performance scientist Neasa Russell believes six years is about the time it takes to develop from raw talent to Olympic contender.
So what of Laura and Chloe's chances?
"It's a little bit hard to tell," Neasa told Newsbeat, "but I think one, they're here today and two, they've gone around and given their best. That shows a lot of good character."
She added: "The good thing is that even if they might not be quite suited to an Olympic sport, we can give them an opportunity with army sports to try that out as well."

Army officials claimed on Tuesday that as much of 75% of the city had been recaptured, including the city centre and government headquarters.
Iraqi forces were rejoined in the battle by Shia militias, who said last week they would boycott fighting while the US was carrying out air strikes.
IS militants seized the strategically important city last summer.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Twitter that Tikrit, which is Saddam Hussein's hometown, had been "liberated" from IS occupation, but reports said fighting for large parts of the city was ongoing.
Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi, an Iraqi army commander Tikrit's Salahuddin province, said his forces fighting in from the west were still 300m (1,000ft) from the city centre.
There are about 3,000 Iraqi soldiers and police fighting to liberate the Sunni city, with support from about 20,000 Iran-backed Shia militias, known collectively as the Popular Mobilisation units, as well as local tribesman and residents.
Some of the militias appear to have reversed an earlier decision to freeze their participation in the offensive while the US-led coalition carried out strikes.
Tuesday's advances are the most significant in the government offensive in the city, which began on 2 March but was stalled as it waited for air support and ground reinforcements.
Ammar Hikmat, deputy governor of Salahuddin province, where Tikrit lies, said pro-government forces were "pushing forward toward the presidential complex and have already entered parts of it".
"I think the whole city will be retaken within the coming 24 hours," he told the Associated Press news agency.
Recapturing Tikrit is seen as strategically vital in the battle for Mosul, Iraq's second largest city. Mosul, which is north of Tikrit along the Tigris river, was captured by IS in June last year during a lightning advance across the country.
The OU wants to close seven regional centres, in Bristol, Birmingham, Cambridge, Gateshead, Leeds, London and Oxford, to streamline student support.
The university's senate, which met on Wednesday, voted to reject the plan.
The University and College Union (UCU) says more than 500 jobs are at risk. The ballot closes on 5 November.
UCU Open University branch president Pauline Collins said: "Axing over 500 staff across seven centres would be catastrophic to the Open University's ability to provide the kind of support that students need.
"We hope the university will now see sense and work with us to find a better solution for staff, students and the future of the Open University."
The OU said the offices earmarked for closure were not predominantly used as teaching centres and services to students would not be reduced or withdrawn.
The new structure, due to be in place by February 2017, would retain offices in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Milton Keynes, Manchester and Nottingham, as well as a small sub-office in Dublin.
The university said its centres in Milton Keynes, Manchester and Nottingham would expand under the plan.
Peter Horrocks, Vice-Chancellor, said: "The OU's mission has always been about embracing innovation and providing our students with the best possible experience.
"This is a difficult decision and I fully recognise the impact it will have on many of our staff, but we cannot afford to stay still.
"This recommendation, if approved, would allow us to enhance student support in a way that's simply not possible in our current office network, and offer our students the sort of support they expect and deserve."
A final decision will be made by the university's council in late November. If approved, a period of consultation with unions would follow.
The OU has almost 200,000 students, with many combining their study with employment and other commitments.
McGowan, 27, has played for four Scottish clubs and is currently in his second spell in China's top flight.
"A lot of Scottish kids I've encountered had almost a fear of going abroad," McGowan told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
"I would recommend: go abroad, go for a year, two years."
Having joined Hearts in 2008, McGowan had loan spells at Ayr United and Partick Thistle before helping the Tynecastle side win the Scottish Cup in 2012, scoring in the final against Edinburgh rivals Hibernian.
The following year he moved to Shandong Luneng Taishan and returned to Scotland in 2015 with Dundee United before joining Henan Jianye last year.
"I was 16 when I left Australia and my goal was to become a professional footballer and it somehow took me to Scotland," McGowan said.
"Scottish kids have it really easy, they have almost 40 professional clubs within a three, four-hour drive. They can just move to different clubs.
"When I was growing up I had one club in Adelaide where I was from that was professional. They could only sign 23 players, which was for the first team. My next closest club was a two-hour flight away. I couldn't exactly go there every Monday, Tuesday night to train.
"Worst case [scenario with going abroad] is you don't like it, you get let go, you don't enjoy it and you come back and you're in the same situation that you left two years previously."
Chelsea and Brazil midfielder Oscar, 25, is close to a £60m move to Chinese Super League club Shanghai SIPG in January while Argentina forward Carlos Tevez, 32, is reportedly nearing a move to Shanghai Shenhua from Boca Juniors.
"Every team now has almost a world class player," McGowan explained.
"This window coming up in January could be even bigger. They broke all the records in the summer just gone and they're all going to try and outdo each other again.
"There are only five foreigners there so they do make a huge effort in making sure that you're comfortable, your family's comfortable and everything off the field is looked after.
"They believe that if you're well off the field then you should perform better on the field. I thoroughly enjoy it. I couldn't speak highly enough of it.
"It's a great opportunity to experience a totally different culture, different country and as a defender come up against world class strikers week in, week out. As the foreign defender, there's a lot of pressure, a lot of expectation on me performing well.
"Like any league, you have your top five or six teams who would challenge or would do well in any sort of league in Europe and then you have your bottom three or four that do struggle."
World Cup-winning managers Luiz Felipe Scolari and Marcello Lippi and former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson are currently working in China, with Lippi the national coach.
"They are so wanting to win a World Cup," added McGowan. "They want to perform well. Anyone that comes in from a different country or with a bit of pedigree, they want to know what they do 24/7 and how they do it from training to how they prepare for games, how they recover from games.
"I guess that's why they're bringing in a lot of world class coaches as well, to get the academies set up. They're doing a lot of stuff off the field to make them what they believe will be a powerhouse in 15, 20 years' time.
"My club's a relatively small club compared to a few others but we get 25,000-30,000. You probably have five or six clubs that when they're playing at home would get 60,000. I think the lowest is about 17,000 or 20,000.
"There is huge attendances at pretty much every game that you play in."
The former Sweden international, 35, was released in June after he not being offered a new contract.
He has been recovering from knee surgery at United's training ground.
Mourinho said: "If the decision is to stay and wait until December - he can't be back until them - why not wait? We are speaking and changing ideas."
Ibrahimovic signed a one-year deal in July 2016, but an extension was not triggered after he suffered a season-ending knee ligament injury in April.
He scored 28 times in 46 games in all competitions for United.
Mourinho also said he wants to sign "one or two" more players this summer.
United have spent a combined £106m on Benfica defender Victor Lindhof and Everton striker Romelu Lukaku during the transfer window, and have been linked with three midfielders - Chelsea's Nemanja Matic, Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan and Tottenham's Eric Dier.
Mourinho said: "I can't say any word about a Chelsea player." However, he added that United "don't have our door closed".
"We need more," he said. "We wanted four - 50% of the job is done. We need two more players, at least one. Everything is so difficult."
Mourinho confirmed that United tried to sign 24-year-old Spain striker Alvaro Morata last month but could not agree a fee with Real Madrid.

Instead, United paid Everton £75m for Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku with manager Mourinho saying his side need a "target man".
"We are not speaking about a multi-functional player. He is a striker," said Mourinho, who confirmed his only involvement in the deal came when it was close to completion.
"He is not a player who participates a lot in the build-up. We need a target man, which is not Martial or Rashford.
"We have good players but we need a number nine. We thought Romelu would be a good option for us."
Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola has said the striker will stay in Europe.
But both Los Angeles-based Major League Soccer clubs - LA Galaxy and Los Angeles FC - are interested in signing him if he decides to end his career elsewhere.
Ibrahimovic said he will make a "big announcement" about his future soon.
Mourinho added: "We wanted to let him make a decision - space and time to think and decide.
"He didn't want to hide behind an amazing injury. That would be easy.
"He was not happy in the way he finished the season. He made the challenge for himself to want to keep playing at highest level.
"We opened the door for him to recover with our people and be one of us. It is [executive vice-chairman] Mr Woodward and Zlatan's agent who will deal with it."
Head of counter-terrorism Commander Richard Walton said ex-jihadis who had abandoned radicalism were "powerful voices" in countering propaganda.
He told the Evening Standard "we have a few" but are "desperate" to find more.
His officers had to engage with terrorists, even those in prison, to try to turn them around, he added.
The Met's counter-terrorism command arrested 225 people on suspicion of terrorism-related offences in the year to August - a 32% increase on the previous 12 months, latest figures show.
Of those arrested, 29 were women or girls and 17 were under the age of 20, the Met said.
Commander Walton said the Met had rescued several families, some including toddlers, heading to Syria from Turkey in recent months after tip-offs from family or friends worried about their fate.
Militant group Islamic State uses social media as a tool to recruit new members in the UK, and elsewhere.
But the Met wants to develop new "counter-narratives" to challenge the group's ideology, with the help of former extremists.
Commander Walton said: "We can't write off anyone convicted of a terrorist offence.
"Some terrorist offence sentences for possession of extremist material are not lengthy. We know they are going to come out.
"It's a concerning offence but they've not gone on to commit more serious terrorist offences, so there is an opportunity to work with them," he added.
At least 700 people from the UK have travelled to support or fight for jihadist organisations in Syria and Iraq - mostly Islamic State, British police say.
About half have since returned to Britain.
Northbay Pelagic's main processing and packing lines were lost, along with an office and administration block, earlier this month.
Alternative employment is to be found for about 120 full-time and 100 temporary staff until the factory is rebuilt.
Some will be redeployed to other processors in the town.
Northbay Pelagic director Chris Anderson said: "We knew our staff were concerned about their jobs and we have worked extremely hard in the last week to find a solution that means everyone retains their employment."
The 25-year-old Dutchman scored once in 36 Serie A appearances last season.
The defensive midfielder is Boro's third summer signing as they prepare for their first season back in the Premier League after promotion in May.
"Really happy with my transfer!" he tweeted. "Let's make a good season in the Premier League. Come on The Boro!"
The Riverside team had already signed defender Bernardo Espinosa from Sporting and winger Viktor Fischer from Ajax in this transfer window.

The disease had already claimed dozens of lives and was on its way to neighbouring countries. This tiny virus, invisible to the naked eye, went on to kill more than 10,000 people across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone in the 12 months that followed.
Numbers are now going down - but we are still far from zero. And the viral menace has left a permanent mark on the world.
Ebola relies on intimate social interaction to ensure its continued survival - it is passed on through close contact with the bodily fluids of infected individuals.
This means people who care for the sick are most vulnerable to the disease.
The most simple human touch - a handshake or a hug - was quickly discouraged across the three worst affected countries. Liberia lost its traditional finger-snap greeting.
And the fabric of the final goodbye changed too. Traditional burial ceremonies were re-written, mourning practices - such as washing the bodies of the deceased - were banned.
Now a family can expect an Ebola response team to turn up, in full spacesuit-like gear, to take bodies away in the most dignified way possible in the circumstances.
At the height of the outbreak, entire communities were quarantined. And for some in Sierra Leone, Christmas was cancelled.
The long-term impact of these disruptions to deep-seated human traditions is not yet known. Psychologists are concerned that suspicions that other people may harbour the deadly virus will take some time to melt away.
And if they disappear too quickly, this would hamper efforts to stamp out remaining cases.
As the crisis deepened, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea shut their schools. A whole generation of children will have missed some six months of education. Research by the campaign group Global Business Coalition for Education suggests up to 5 million children were denied classes.
And many are unlikely to return, the report warns.
The risk of children being forced to work also increases as families rely on remaining members to put food and money on the table.
Scientists believe the first person to have succumbed to the disease in this outbreak was a two-year-old in a remote part of Guinea. But it took a further three months for the WHO to officially declare an outbreak and five more to announce a public health emergency.
Many thought the world reacted too late.
The WHO admits it was too slow and agrees the organisation needs to change.
Margaret Chan, WHO director-general, said at a rare emergency meeting in January: "The world, including WHO, was too slow to see what was unfolding before us."
Ideas about how to prevent anything similar happening again include the creation of a dedicated fund for emergencies and a rapid-response workforce.
But details are yet to be ironed out - will there be doctors on standby should another outbreak erupt? Will teams be dotted around potential hot-spots to avoid previous delays?
Vaccines and drugs often take more than a decade to develop. But an unprecedented decision by the WHO to support the use of relatively untested drugs, followed by a unique collaboration between scientists, public health organisations and drug companies resulted in trials being set up in a matter of months.
Immunisations are already being given on a trial basis in the worst affected countries. Never before has the world seen relatively experimental medicines being used on this scale.
While none has yet been proven to work in large populations, the process has been accelerated at an unheard-of speed.
This calls into question whether medicines for other diseases could be made in a more timely fashion, particularly if academics, politicians and scientists were encouraged to work together in this way again.
And innovation does not stop at treatments. A group of tech volunteers recently came together with Google and MSF to create an Ebola-proof tablet device.
This can be dunked in chlorine to kill the virus, withstand storms and does not rely on a continuous supply of electricity.
There is hope these devices will be used in other difficult settings too - from cholera outbreaks to refugee camps.
But most agree it was not drugs or fancy innovations that brought numbers down.
Local volunteers going house-to-house to explain the virus, or tirelessly burying bodies in the safest possible way, were crucial to stop the spread.
Communities accepting the realities of the virus and changing their everyday lives, and families allowing their loved ones to be taken to isolated treatment centres all played a strong role.
Weak health systems were bolstered - Liberia only had some 60 doctors to treat its entire population before the outbreak began. But an influx of local volunteers and international teams helped.
Despite these efforts some scientists say there is a chance the virus will never go away. If cases do not get to zero, it could become endemic - part of the fabric of diseases present in countries at a low level.
And other outbreaks are likely.
But the hope is the world will be better prepared and have learnt to pay greater attention, should Ebola, or another disease like it, strike again.
The man died at the Gunmakers Arms, in Aston, Birmingham, on 10 December.
He had been drinking heavily and was sprayed with water to sober up and then placed on the floor, unconscious, before the manager left to get food.
A coroner's inquest later ruled the customer died from acute ethyl alcohol intoxication and a pre-existing heart condition.
The inquest heard the customer, who has not been named, had been in the pub since about 18:00 GMT on 9 December, drinking cider and spirits.
At about 23:30 GMT he fell asleep in a chair. He was still asleep at 00:30 GMT when the manager and another customer decided to get some food.
When they returned, the man was cold and was moved next to a radiator and an ambulance was called when he did not come round.
Reviewing the pub's licence, Birmingham City Council's Licensing Committee said he had consumed "an excessive amount of alcohol, directly from a bottle of Jack Daniels in one go, in circumstances when there had been a clear management failing in prohibiting any such action from arising in the first place".
A number of non-duty paid bottles of spirits were also on display and there was evidence spirits had been decanted from some bottles to others on display on the optics, the committee said.
Councillor Lynda Clinton, chair of the committee, said it was "entirely appropriate" to revoke the premises' licence given concerns raised by West Midlands Police and Birmingham Trading Standards.
The FTSE 100 fell 0.8% at 6,052.4, after having risen more than 40 points on Thursday.
Smith & Nephew was the second-biggest riser, adding 4.6% on a report that Stryker was planning to bid for the pharmaceutical company.
The FTSE's slide would have been bigger but for support from commodity shares.
A slight recovery in the prices of some metals lifted mining companies, with Anglo American the top riser, up 5.7%.
BG Group was the biggest faller, ending 4% lower.
Brenda Kelly, head analyst at London Capital Group, said: "Recent history would indicate that these large swings in the share prices of commodity producers have been characteristic of a downtrend and attempts to catch the falling knife has not been without casualty."
Alastair McCaig, market analyst at IG, said: "Blink and you'll have missed it, as the US interest hike feelgood factor looks to have already evaporated.
"Historically, this has been the week in December when the benefits of the Santa rally can be enjoyed by equity investors. Uncertainty and indecision created in the run-up to Wednesday has seen the boost equity markets would have hoped for turn out as more of a whimper than a bang."
Shares in temporary power provider Aggreko fell 2.3% after it pulled out of bidding to supply generators to the Rio Olympics.
On the currency markets, the pound edged up 0.1% against the dollar to $1.4914, but fell 0.1% against the euro at €1.3749.
Ryan Morse, 12, from Brynithel, Blaenau Gwent, died in 2012 from undiagnosed Addison's disease.
Dr Joanne Rudling, 46, of Cardiff, and Dr Lindsey Thomas, 42, of Tredegar, deny manslaughter by gross negligence.
Cardiff Crown Court heard Dr Rudling admitted failing to note down a phone call with his mother before he died.
Ryan first fell ill in July 2012 and weighed just 4st 11lb (30kg) at the time of his death, in December of that year.
Prosecutors allege that, after Ryan's mother, Carol, made several appointments at Abernant Surgery in Abertillery, the accused doctors failed to properly diagnose his condition.
Dr Rudling also denies attempting to pervert the course of justice in relation to his medical records.
On Thursday, the court was read a transcript of an interview with Dr Rudling conducted by her health board a month after Ryan died.
She told them she had a telephone conversation with Ryan's mother the night before he died.
When asked why she did not record it in notes contemporaneously, she said: "I hold my hands up, I was distracted - we were getting the surgery ready to have a new floor done."
She said she entered the consultation notes later, adding: "But I didn't put anything in there that wasn't true."
According to the transcript, it was put to her that, when someone has died it is more important to make it clear an entry is retrospective, and asked: "Did you make it clear?"
"No I didn't," she replied.
The trial continues.

But then Mudeford Spit offers its residents beguiling views in two directions. The first over golden sands, past rafts of sailing boats, to an aquamarine horizon and the Isle of Wight; behind it, Christchurch Harbour offers a second watery perspective, with an anchorage that has seduced many a smitten artist.
"It is something to do with the British psyche," says Needleview's owner, Sarah Litchfield.
"Being here by the water, you've got your castle as well, your own little spot," she says.
Listening to the laughter of children with fishing nets, and watching the stunts of Sandwich terns plunging into the sea, it is hard to disagree that we are indeed a nation of water-watchers.
But are we also inclined to pay the earth, just to look at the sea?
The property agency Knight Frank has actually put a price on the quality of a sea view.

They compared the value of a waterside property with the value of the same property moved five miles inland.
They found that properties in the south-west of England have the biggest uplift, with a water view premium of up to 66%. Properties in Scotland attract a premium of 29%, and in Wales it is 26%.
But the most desirable, and therefore most expensive, view, they say, is not of the sea, but an estuary.
Whereas estuary views command a premium of 82%, and harbour views 81%, a beach or coastal view is only worth an extra 47%.
One such example is Toft Quay, on Devon's River Dart estuary. The five-bedroom property comes complete with its own jetty and boat hoist. It is for sale for £2.25m.
"Rivers are changing environments, and many people find them more interesting," says Alasdair Pritchard of Knight Frank.
"And by the sea they get the wind. You can't get have your eggs Benedict on the balcony without getting it all over your face."
However, having your own private beach changes the value again, he says. And there are places in Britain where you can still buy that, and more.
One such place is Tanera Mor, the main island in the Summer Isles, off Ullapool.
It has 800 acres, six holiday cottages, an owner's residence, a cafe and post office, a sailing school and several beaches.
It is on the market for £2.5m.
"It's impossible to quantify the view in monetary terms," says John Bond of agents CKD Galbraith in Inverness.
"It's the lifestyle and the wilderness, as well as the sea views. There's also a scarcity value. They don't make islands any more."
But buyers can also find wilderness with a good sea view at much lower prices too.
Three cottages at Cantick Head lighthouse on the Orkney island of Hoy are for sale for £350,000.
Anyone who has taken the ferry across to Stromness may be familiar with the sight of the lighthouse looming out of the mist, just as the ship reaches the lee of the islands.
It may be four miles from the nearest shop, and accessible only by ferry, but owner Nadia Schwartzmann says it will suit people looking for a change of lifestyle.
"It is isolated, but the views across the Pentland Firth to Scotland are unique," she says.
Only slightly more expensive is Fog House, the site of a former foghorn on the Welsh island of Anglesey.
"As you drive over the mountain, you suddenly see the buildings right below you. The view is fantastic," says Nick Withinshaw of estate agents Jackson Stops & Staff in Chester.
"You are on the edge of a cliff, and on a clear day you can see Ireland."
He believes the "view premium" is between 20% and 25%, on the asking price of £475,000. In other words, the view alone costs around £100,000.
Russ Mclean, a former policeman with an obsession for buying lighthouse buildings, says spectacular sea views do not have to be so expensive.
He's bought three, currently has sealed bids in for another two, and has even started a website for others with similar dreams.
"A 30% premium stacks up for Scotland as a whole," he says.
"But if it is quite remote there can be a negative premium, because it is remote. There are bargains to be had."
On Mudeford Spit, the beach hut Needleview has already had plenty of enquiries from potential buyers.
Neil Chalmers, of Waterside Properties, believes it is worth its premium price.
A similar hut went earlier this year for £176,000, and he rents them out for £750 a week.
"At first I thought they were having a laugh," he says.
"But then it's basically camping on the beach. You can surf, have a barbecue, and then you've got somewhere to sleep."
When I ask the vendor, Sarah Litchfield, if it really is worth £200,000 for just 16 years, she laughs, and says, "Where's your soul?"
Her reply may well reflect a uniquely British preoccupation with boats, the sea and a view of anything nautical.
"It's the watersports, the lifestyle. It's happiness!" she declares.
The Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre is based in the entrance of Bronglais Hospital in Aberystwyth.
It offers confidential advice to patients, families and carers on issues such as welfare benefits.
The service is part of a £3.3m investment made in the health board over the last five years to support posts and projects.
Hywel Dda University Health Board's chief executive, Steve Moore said they were "extremely proud" of the new service.
It would "provide local people with additional support when they need it most," he said.
The vehicle smashed through the glass doors at Farmfoods in Anglesey at around 11:00 GMT on Saturday morning.
The car was driven by an elderly lady, it was reported in the Daily Post.
Adie Roberts, who works at the supermarket, said: "All I heard was noise...I thought someone had dropped something and then I saw there was a car in the shop."
No injuries were reported and Farmfoods reopened the next day.
Mr Miliband told the Labour conference the UK "nearly broke up" and that people voting in the referendum wanted to improve their lives.
He claimed the idea of working together won the referendum, adding: "Together we can build a better future."
He also said the referendum voting age of 16 should be extended to elections.
The Scottish independence referendum was open to registered voters over 16 but the minimum voting age for elections is 18.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond has also called for the voting age to be lowered to 16.
In his keynote speech to Labour's annual conference in Manchester, Mr Miliband said: "Our country nearly broke up. A country that nearly splits apart is not one in good health."
He thanked senior Scottish Labour politicians who "helped save our country", including Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling, Johann Lamont and Jim Murphy.
But he argued: "All of us have a responsibility to try and explain why 45% of people voted 'Yes' to break up our country."
The Labour leader said he met a Scottish voter who complained about low wages in her workplace.
He said: "I don't know how she voted, but I do know the question she was asking: 'Is anything going to make life better for me and my family?'
"I hear Josephine's question everywhere, not just in Scotland. 'Can anyone build a better future for the working people of Britain?'
"It wasn't just the referendum question. It is the general election question."
He claimed that the idea of "together" won the referendum for the pro-Union side.
"Together we can build a better future for the working people of Britain," he added.
In a speech to Scottish delegates on Monday evening, Mr Miliband said promises made over more powers for Holyrood would be "honoured."
The three main parties pledged more devolution during the campaign to encourage Scots to reject independence, which they ultimately did by 55% to 45% last Thursday.
There has been disagreement, however, on whether increased powers for the Scottish Parliament should be accompanied by changes in the role of Scottish MPs at Westminster, preventing them from voting on laws which affect England only.
In his leader's speech, Mr Miliband attacked David Cameron, who said after the referendum result that he wanted English MPs to decide England-only laws at the same time as power is devolved to Scotland.
"If David Cameron cares so much about the Union, why is he seeking to divide us?" the Labour leader asked.
"He's learning the wrong lessons from Scotland."
Mr Miliband proposed "devolving power to local government, bringing power closer to people right across England", adding: "It's got to be led by the people. It can't be a Westminster stitch-up.
"That's why we need a proper constitutional convention."
And he said he wanted to reform the House of Lords, creating "a senate of the nations and regions".
At the party's conference in Manchester, Mr Miliband claimed that a future Labour government would create the more fair and just society that both "Yes" and "No" voters called for in the independence referendum.
At the annual Scottish reception on Monday evening, the Labour leader praised those who helped keep Scotland in the union.
He won the loudest applause when he mentioned Mr Brown's role during the final weeks of the campaign.
In a swipe aimed at his political opponents, he said: "Let no one set England, Wales and Scotland against each other because we have just spent the last two years keeping our UK together and we are not going to stand for it."
Labour's deputy leader, Harriet Harman told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland that the promised new powers for Scotland would be delivered.
"It was an absolute promise that was made and it's a promise that has absolutely got to be delivered," Ms Harman said.
"If you make a promise on the eve of an election and you say: if you vote 'No' you will get more powers devolved, then that is absolutely what's going to happen."
Her comments came after shadow chancellor Ed Balls said Labour would not vote for a "rushed" constitutional settlement that "would not work" in the wake of the Scottish referendum.
Ms Harman added: "There will be some changes further on down the line in relation to England, but that makes no difference to what was promised to Scotland and what will be delivered to Scotland."
Mr Salmond made a statement to the Scottish Parliament on the same day as Mr Miliband's Manchester speech, in which he claimed that "people have been energised, enthused by politics in a way which has never happened before" during the referendum campaign.
"As a result of that, our great national debate in my estimation will help us make a fairer, more prosperous and more democratic country - and in all of that, all of Scotland will emerge as the winner," he told MSPs.
Irfon Williams was forced to move to England to receive the drug Cetuximab to treat bowel cancer.
A medical review of the drug followed a campaign by 45-year-old Mr Williams and it is now available in Wales.
But the cancer patient, who lives in Bangor, Gwynedd, has learnt that despite initial treatment success the disease has now spread.
"I have wondered, very, very occasionally, whether I should have gone so public - should I have just gone quietly and got on with things," Mr Williams said.
"But very quickly I think back to the impact that some of our campaigning has had, and I've no regrets at all.
"Nothing but good can come out of the campaigning."
Mr Williams highlighted the decision to hold an independent review of how patients in Wales access drugs not normally available as one of the victories for the Right to Live campaign.
He was invited to sit as the only patient on the panel by Health Secretary Vaughan Gething in September.
"I think it shows the government has listened to patients' voices and understood that the process was unfair and a very difficult one for families to go through."
However, his focus has now shifted from his campaigning following the news his cancer has spread to his lungs and other parts of the body, and can no longer be cured.
"I need to concentrate now on staying healthy, enjoying my life and living as long as I possibly can - I'm not planning on going anywhere in a hurry."
The father-of-five said that included preparing his younger sons for the worst, at the age of five and seven.
"It really is on their mind, especially Sion who is seven. One of his biggest fears is that daddy is going to die, and unfortunately I can't reassure him that daddy isn't going to die.
"We are preparing them for that in a way that is appropriate to their age and development without being too morbid about it."

Palace announced that Ledley had signed "for an undisclosed fee, subject to final confirmation from the Premier League."
He penned a three-and-a-half year deal at Selhurst Park.
Ledley had been offered a new deal at Celtic Park, with his current contract running out this summer.
Tony Pulis tried to sign me at Stoke and it didn't happen and I am delighted to be working with him now as he's a fantastic manager
And Celtic preferred to sell now rather than allow him to leave for nothing and accepted a bid from the London club.
Ledley had trained with Celtic in the morning before heading to the south of England.
He said: "It's been a whirlwind day and I am just looking forward to a new challenge.
"It's been a fantastic few years at Celtic, but I spoke to manager Neil Lennon and made my decision to come down."
Palace also secured the signatures of Blackpool winger Tom Ince, Blackburn Rovers defender Scott Dann, Southampton midfielder Jason Puncheon and Wolves goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
Scottish striker Stephen Dobbie was allowed to return to Blackpool on loan in exchange for Ince.
Ledley was looking forward to working under Palace manager Tony Pulis.
"He tried to sign me at Stoke and it didn't happen and I am delighted to be working with him now as he's a fantastic manager," said the Welshman.
Ledley moved to Glasgow under freedom of contract in 2010, following six years at hometown club Cardiff City.
He helped Celtic win three league titles and last year's Scottish Cup.
The Wales international was on target in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Kilmarnock, taking his tally for the season to five goals.
His former club said in a website statement: "Everyone at Celtic would like to thank Joe for his fantastic contribution to the club over the past three-and-a-half years and we wish him every success in the future."
Socialist leader Antonio Costa admitted defeat and congratulated Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho.
With almost all votes counted, the centre-right leads with just under 37%, with the Socialists on over 32%.
However, Mr Passos Coelho said his coalition appeared to have lost its absolute majority in parliament.
With 99 seats in the 230-seat parliament, the ruling coalition fell 17 seats short of the number it needed.
Mr Passos Coelho indicated that he was ready to talk to other parties in the next parliament to pursue the "necessary reforms" he wants to implement.
"Times haven't been easy, and the times ahead will be challenging," he said, promising to talk to the Socialists with the aim of maintaining a rigorous budget and a reduction in the public debt.
Parties to the left of the Socialists achieved their best-ever result, says the BBC's Alison Roberts in Lisbon.
Left Bloc won 10% of the vote, securing 19 seats, while the Communists took 8% of the vote.
Four years of austerity have taken their toll, and the coalition lost almost one-third of the votes that its two constituent parties gleaned in the last general election, our correspondent adds.
The coalition had vowed to continue the policies in place since 2011 after it was forced to seek a eurozone bailout.

The raider entered the Nisa store just before 06:00 BST and demanded money.
The member of staff at the shop in Sopwith Crescent, Wimborne, handed over an undisclosed amount of cash.
No-one was injured during the robbery. Police, including armed officers, are trying to trace the knifeman. A cordon has been put up while officers examine the scene.
Luke Quinn, 33, from Busby, East Renfrewshire, knocked Simon Richardson to the ground and stamped on him in Wellington Street, on 8 December 2013.
The 45-year-old, from Paisley in Renfrewshire, later died in hospital.
Quinn claimed diminished responsibility due to Aspergers Syndrome but a jury convicted him of murder. He was told to serve a minimum of 14 years in jail.
Sentencing Quinn at the High Court in Glasgow, judge Bill Dunlop told him: "No value can be put on the life that was lost and that you took. Nothing can do that."
During Quinn's trial, the court heard Mr Richardson, who was the main carer for his mother, had earlier been on a night out with friends in Glasgow before the attack.
He was looking for a taxi when he encountered Quinn in Wellington Street.
CCTV images showed the two men chatting before Quinn suddenly lashed out with a punch.
Mr Richardson fell to the ground and Quinn could be seen stamping on him and rifling his pockets before stamping on him again and punching him.
The victim later died in the city's Royal Infirmary from internal bleeding caused by a blow to the abdomen.
When Quinn was detained and charged with murder he became upset and agitated and told police: "Why is God doing this to me?"
Quinn did not give evidence during his trial but he told a psychologist that he snapped because he did not like being touched and Mr Richardson had been patting him on the back when he spoke to him.
The court heard that Mr Richardson's mother died six weeks after him on Christmas Day in 2013.
The victim's brother Ferrier Richardson spoke after the trial of the death of a "wonderful human being".
Ferrier Richardson, who now lives in West Africa, said: "I don't care what my brother said or did that night, nobody on earth deserves anything like that.
"Simon was a wonderful human being, who everyone loved. I could not have asked for a better brother.
"What this excuse for a human being has done to all of us, I would not wish on your or any other person's family.
"He should be locked away for a very long time so that no other family has to suffer in the way we have."
"I will be totally pledging my allegiance to the Republican Party and the conservative principles for which it stands," he said on Thursday.
He had earlier refused to rule it out.
The billionaire business mogul, who has been soaring in the polls, has come under pressure in recent weeks from the Republican Party to sign the pledge.
His announcement on Thursday will be seen as a victory for the party, who may have seen a split in its support and given the Democrats a boost had Donald Trump pressed ahead as an independent candidate.
He said he had received nothing for signing the loyalty pledge, aside from the assurance that he would be treated fairly in the race.
Mr Trump was booed by audience members during the Republican presidential debate last month after he refused to rule out a third-party run. He was the only candidate not to commit to back the winner of the party's primaries.
The Republican Party National Committee has since sought a loyalty pledge from each of its presidential hopefuls, in what is believed to be a first for the party.
"The best way forward... to win, is if I win the nomination and go direct against whoever (the Democrats) happen to put up. So for that reason, I have signed the pledge," Mr Trump told reporters gathered at his campaign headquarters in New York's Trump Tower.
"I see no circumstances under which I would tear up that pledge," he added.
The Republican Party pledge asks presidential candidates to "endorse the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is".
Donald Trump has come under attack from his rivals in the race who have questioned his conservative credentials and liberal leanings in the past.
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said on Thursday Donald Trump's views on illegal immigration were "too pessimistic", despite vowing to support his rival if he won the party race.
Some of the measures Mr Trump has outlined to combat illegal immigration include raising visa fees to pay for a wall along the Mexican border and ending the automatic right to citizenship for US-born children of families living illegally in America.
The latest poll by Monmouth University puts Mr Trump way ahead with support from 30% of Republicans, and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson running a distant second with 18%.
The rest of the Republican pack is trailing far behind, with Jeb Bush currently tied with Texas senator Ted Cruz at 8%.

Mr Mugabe, 92, was arriving back in the country at the main airport in Harare and appeared jovial as he disembarked.
Flight data had suggested his plane was heading to East Asia but that it instead went to Dubai. Mr Mugabe said he had gone there for a family matter.
In May, Mr Mugabe's wife, Grace, said that he would rule from the grave.
The flight path and other rumours had led some to speculate that Mr Mugabe had suffered a serious health problem and had sought treatment in Dubai or had even succumbed to his illness.
The Southern Daily website had posted an article headlined "Robert Mugabe suffers stroke, Mnangagwa now the new interim President of Zimbabwe".
Emmerson Mnangagwa is the country's vice-president.
But Reuters news agency said that on arriving at Harare Mr Mugabe had told reporters in the local Shona language: "I had gone on a family matter to Dubai concerning one of my children.
"Yes, I was dead, it's true I was dead. I resurrected as I always do. Once I get back to my country I am real."
Mr Mugabe is expected to address a youth meeting later on Saturday.
He has been in power since 1980 and has said he will run again for office in 2018.
The country remains in political and economic turmoil, amid allegations of government corruption.
The capital saw a wave of protests last week, with dozens arrested.
Police on Thursday banned demonstrations in the capital for two weeks.

The report has been looking at the run-up to the conflict, whether troops were properly prepared, how the war was conducted and what planning there was for its aftermath.
Here's a timeline of the main developments since the inquiry, under Sir John Chilcot's leadership, began in July 2009.
The report will be published on Wednesday 6 July, it is announced. Sir John Chilcot says national security vetting has been completed and that no sections of the report will either be removed or redacted.
He confirms that the report will be 2.6 million words long and that families of the 179 British service personnel and civilians killed in Iraq will have the chance to read it before it is published.
It later emerges that the full report will cost £787 to purchase while the 150-page executive summary will cost £30.
Chilcot report to be published on 6 July
Sir John Chilcot says, in a letter written to Prime Minister David Cameron, that he expects to finish the report - which will be more than two million words long - by April 2016.
He says that allowing for National Security checking the PM should be in a position to publish the report in "June or July 2016".
In his latest update, Sir John Chilcot said the process of giving witnesses subject to criticisms in the report the right to reply had yet to be completed, with some individuals yet to respond.
Until this happened, he said he could not set out a "realistic timetable" for when the report would be completed but hoped to do so as soon as possible.
In response, David Cameron expressed his "disappointment" and said he was "fast losing patience" over the time being taken. He has asked the cabinet secretary Sir Jeremy Heyward to meet with Sir John to discuss the issues involved.
Appearing before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, Sir John Chilcot says he will not give any timetable for publication as he does not want to "arouse false hopes".
He says the process of giving witnesses criticised in the draft report the right to respond is the primary obstacle standing in the way of completing its work.
He says he is not aware of any individuals holding up the process by taking an undue length of time to respond to his findings.
He also informs MPs that one of the panel members, historian Martin Gilbert, has died.
Chilcot rejects calls for Iraq timetable
Sir John Chilcot says he will agree to appear before the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee in early February to answer questions about the inquiry's progress. However, he insists he will not comment on the substance of its work or its likely publication date.
The inquiry will not be published until after the election, Sir John Chilcot confirms. David Cameron says he would have liked the report to have been published already and criticises the previous government for not establishing it earlier.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says the public would find the latest development "incomprehensible".
Government minister Lord Wallace says the report is "largely finished" and the process of contacting people who have been criticised to give them a right to respond is taking place. He suggests the inquiry should have more staff at the outset to deal with the documents and confirms the report will be "held back" until after May's election if it is not ready for publication by the end of February.
More staff needed
William Hague, the leader of the House of Commons, says he hopes the report will be published before the general election on May 7 2015. David Cameron says the same but both men say they are "not in control" of the timing of the report's conclusion.
Hague hopes for 2015 publication
The UK's top civil servant said the inquiry will "not be a cover-up in any shape or form". Sir Jeremy Heywood told MPs that the report would be "more transparent" than people were expecting and would include material that would not normally be disclosed "in a million years". The cabinet secretary said the inquiry was "happy" with the documents it could publish after a "delay of sorts".
Inquiry will tell "whole story"
Details of the "gist" of talks between Tony Blair and George Bush before the Iraq war are to be published, the inquiry disclosed, but transcripts and full notes of conversations will remain secret at the request of the Cabinet Office.
Deal over Bush-Blair documents
Tony Blair has said he wants the Iraq Inquiry report to be published as soon as possible and "resents" claims he is to blame for its slow progress. The former Labour prime minister said he was not blocking any documents and publication would allow him "restate" the case for the 2003 invasion.
Blair: I am not to blame for delays
The US has no veto over the disclosure of communications between Tony Blair and George W Bush regarding war with Iraq, the UK Cabinet Office said in response to media reports suggesting Washington was behind delays to declassification of documents.
No 'US veto' over Blair-Bush notes
The inquiry says it cannot proceed with the next phase of its work because key information, including correspondence between Tony Blair and George W Bush, has yet to be released. Sir John Chilcot said it had not yet agreed with the government over the publication of the most "difficult documents".
Hold-up over access to key documents
The inquiry announces a further delay to the publication of its report. In a letter to the prime minister, Sir John Chilcot says he will not report before the middle of 2013 at the earliest - a decade after the war. The report is "unprecedented in scope" and will be about a million words long, he adds. He also confirms the inquiry is seeking a "dialogue" with government officials over further access to secret documents, such as notes of Cabinet meetings and correspondence with foreign governments.
The inquiry says it will not publish its report until the summer of 2012 at the earliest, six months later than had been anticipated. It says it needs this extra time to "do justice" to the issues involved. It also suggests it has not yet been given permission to publish or refer to all the classified documents it wants to in order to provide the fullest picture of decisions taken. It says it needs co-operation from the government to do this in a "satisfactory and timely manner".
The inquiry publishes new witness statements and de-classified papers as it gives an update on its work. In one of the new documents, a former senior intelligence official disputes evidence given by former No 10 spokesman Alastair Campbell in 2010. Michael Laurie contradicts claims made by Mr Campbell that the September 2002 dossier on Iraq's weapons threat was not designed to "make the case for war". He said he and others involved in its drafting thought "this was exactly its purpose". Separately, inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot says the final report will not be published until the autumn at the earliest.
In the last hearing to be held in public, former foreign secretary Jack Straw insisted regime change was "never" the goal of UK policy towards Saddam Hussein. If the former Iraqi leader had complied with UN disarmament demands, he would have remained in power, Mr Straw argued. Mr Straw said he believed the military action was justified but expressed his "deep sorrow" for the loss of life of British troops and Iraqi civilians. Bringing an end to the public part of the inquiry, Sir John Chilcot said he would not set an "artificial deadline" for publishing its final report while indicating it would take "some months".
Straw denies regime change plan
The UK drew up a list of countries seen as potential threats after 9/11 in a process known as "draining the swamp". The Foreign Office sought to identify countries that could pose "similar risks" as Afghanistan, senior former diplomat Stephen Pattison said. Mr Pattison told the inquiry the process led to Iraq moving up the political agenda after 9/11 although the phrase "draining the swamp" was dropped after it emerged it had been taken from a magazine article.
UK drew up 'threat list' after 9/11
Tony Blair was "reluctant" to hold Cabinet discussions about Iraq because he thought details would be leaked, the UK's top civil servant told the inquiry. Sir Gus O'Donnell said Mr Blair did not believe Cabinet was "a safe space" in which to debate the issues involved in going to war. The number of informal meetings held under Mr Blair's premiership meant records of discussions were not "as complete" as he would have liked.
Blair 'feared Iraq Cabinet leaks'
The former head of the armed forces said Tony Blair's government had lacked coherence and failed to deliver the equipment needed to fight the Iraq war. Admiral Lord Boyce told the inquiry that the Treasury had to be "beaten over the head" to deliver on the former prime minister's cash promises, adding that "half the cabinet" did not think the country was even at war.
The UK's most senior official in Iraq told ministers that "heavy-handed" US military tactics made security worse in the year after the 2003 invasion. In a de-classified letter released by the Iraq Inquiry, Sir David Richmond said the unpopularity of the coalition and failure to supply electricity was "visible signs" of lack of progress. He told the Inquiry "things had started to go badly wrong" earlier in 2004 but insisted the UK had managed to alter US thinking in some areas.
US tactics 'hurt post-war Iraq'
Tony Blair was warned by the UK's top civil servant in 2002 he was getting into a "dangerous position" on Iraq. Former Cabinet Secretary Lord Wilson said he alerted Mr Blair to the legal issues involved - which he saw as being a brake on military action. In separate evidence, his successor Lord Turnbull said the cabinet "did not know the score" about Iraq when they were asked to back military action in March 2003. Ministers had not seen key material on Iraq policy and were effectively "imprisoned" as they knew opposing the use of force would likely have led to Tony Blair's resignation.
Blair warned about 'Iraq dangers'
Tony Blair is recalled to give evidence for a second time. He expresses "deep and profound regret" about the loss of life suffered by UK personnel and Iraqi citizens during and after the 2003 war. He addresses questions about the war's legality, admitting Former Attorney General Lord Goldsmith could have been more closely involved in decision making but his final determination was that war was lawful. He also said the West must confront the "looming challenge" posed by Iran, if necessary by military force.
Blair's regret for Iraq war dead
The Iraq inquiry published details of evidence given by former spy chief Sir Richard Dearlove. Sir Richard, head of MI6 in the run-up to the 2003 invasion, said suggestions that he became too close to Tony Blair were "complete rubbish". Assessment of Iraq's weapons threat was "incomplete", he said, and there was a "convincing" case that Saddam Hussein had "weaponised" chemical agents.
Spy chief detailed Iraq worries
Sir John Chilcot says he is "disappointed" the government has chosen not to make public details of correspondence and conversations between Tony Blair and President Bush about Iraq. The panel - which has seen the material - said disclosure of key extracts would serve to "illuminate Mr Blair's position at critical points" in the run-up to war. But Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell said publishing the information was not in the "public interest" as it could "prejudice relations" between countries in future and "inhibit exchanges" between leaders.
Iraq inquiry criticises secrecy
It emerges that former attorney general Lord Goldsmith was "uncomfortable" with statements made by Tony Blair about the legal basis for war in early 2003. In fresh written evidence, Lord Goldsmith - who ultimately concluded that the military action was lawful - said he was concerned about remarks by Mr Blair about the need for a further UN mandate and suggested they were not compatible with advice given. Mr Blair's spokesman said he would deal with the issue when giving evidence on Friday.
Blair to deal with Goldsmith claims
Tony Blair will be recalled to give evidence a second time, the inquiry confirms. It says it wants "more detail" from a number of witnesses including the former prime minister, former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and former Chief of the Defence Staff Lord Boyce. A number of other prominent figures, including Cabinet Secretary Gus O'Donnell, have been called to give evidence for the first time.
Blair recalled for Iraq questions
Sir John Chilcot reports on a recent visit to Northern Iraq where he and one other panel member spoke to senior figures within the Kurdish regional government about their perspective on the war and its aftermath.
Details emerge of how much the inquiry has cost to stage so far. Between July 2009 and March 2010, the inquiry cost an estimated £2.2m. Nearly £800,000 was spent on staff costs while nearly £600,000 was spent on the public hearings, including room hire and broadcasting.
The committee gives an update of its work over the summer: It says it met with 80 serving officers who took part in the Iraq campaign and also visited the defence medical rehabilitation centre at Headley Court to learn about the treatment and rehabilitation of those injured during the war. It also gives details of its visit to Iraq where, during meetings in Baghdad and Basra, it spoke to government officials including former prime ministers Ayad Allawi and Ibrahim Al-Jaafari.
Chilcot inquiry visits to Iraq
The intelligence on Iraq's weapons threat was not "very substantial", former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott said. He told the inquiry he was "nervous" about the intelligence being presented in 2002 - some of which he said was based on "tittle-tattle". Nevertheless, he defended the military action taken as "legal" and said he would take the same decision again. Closing public hearings for the summer, inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot said the committee may choose to recall some witnesses in the autumn and also planned to visit Iraq in the autumn to hear "Iraqi perspectives".
Prescott Iraq intelligence doubts
Troop commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan created the "perfect storm" for an overstretched army, a former Army chief said. Gen Sir Richard Dannatt said the Ministry of Defence's projections of required troop commitments differed from Army estimates and the Army had come close to "seizing up" in 2006. His predecessor Gen Sir Mike Jackson, in his evidence, said there were too few troops to cope with the aftermath of the invasion.
Army 'almost seized up in 2006'
The UN's former chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said it is his "firm view" that the Iraq war was illegal. Dr Blix said the UK had sought to go down the "UN route" to deal with Saddam Hussein but failed. Ex-Attorney General Lord Goldsmith, who advised the war was lawful on the basis of existing UN resolutions, "wriggled about" in his arguments, he suggested. Dr Blix also said his inspectors had visited 500 sites in Iraq but found no evidence of weapons of mass destruction.
Blix 'sure' Iraq war illegal
The inquiry has been "too easygoing" in grilling witnesses about the lead-up to the war, a former UK diplomat said. Carne Ross told the BBC that chairman Sir John Chilcot was running a "narrow" investigation, with the standard of questioning "pretty low". Mr Ross alleges that the Foreign Office withheld key documents before he gave evidence to the inquiry recently.
Iraq inquiry 'too easygoing'
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg had to clarify the government's position on the Iraq war after telling MPs the conflict had been "illegal". At prime minister's questions, Mr Clegg said Labour's former foreign secretary Jack Straw would have to account for his role in the "disastrous" decision to invade. Mr Clegg later stressed his opinion was a "long-held" personal one and the government awaited the outcome of the Chilcot inquiry.
Clegg clarifies Iraq war stance
The invasion of Iraq "substantially" increased the terrorist threat to the UK, the former head of MI5 said. Baroness Manningham-Buller told the inquiry the action "radicalised" a generation of young people, including UK citizens, and she was not "surprised" that UK nationals were involved in the 7/7 bombings in London. The intelligence on Iraq's threat was not "substantial enough" to justify the action, she argued.
Iraq war 'raised terror threat'
Helping British troops seriously wounded in Iraq was a "real challenge" but welfare support has improved as a result, defence officials said. Improved battlefield care saved more lives but more soldiers were left with multiple injuries, senior personnel officers told the inquiry. Air Marshall David Pocock said the military had "learnt a lot [of lessons]" about helping casualties. But he accepted support for bereaved families was often not good enough.
Iraq wounded 'real challenge'
Legal concerns were partly to blame for the government not being open with the families of troops killed in Iraq, a former minister said. Adam Ingram told the Iraq inquiry lawyers advised caution to officials about their wording in case it was taken as an admission of liability. He said it was "very wearing" for ministers to have to meet bereaved relatives who blamed them for deaths. But he dismissed some reports of equipment shortages as "urban myths". Legal fears 'hit Iraq openess'
The cabinet should have seen all the arguments on the legality of the Iraq war, a former senior minister has said. Lord Boateng said it would have been "helpful" to see then Attorney General Lord Goldsmith's full legal deliberations in the run-up to war. Military action would be lawful, Lord Goldsmith ruled days before the invasion, but critics said his earlier reservations were not made clear. But Lord Boateng said he believed the invasion was "right".
Ministers wanted more Iraq 'trust'
Dealing with Saddam Hussein through sanctions and other methods was a "very available" alternative to military action, a former UK diplomat said. Carne Ross, who resigned over the war, told the Iraq inquiry that the UK did not work hard enough to make its pre-2003 policy of containment work. Officials trying to argue for this approach felt "very beleaguered". There was no "significant intelligence" to back up beliefs Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, he added.
Iraq war options not considered
The inquiry said it had taken evidence from 35 people in private. Witnesses who have appeared behind closed doors included Sir Richard Dearlove, a former head of MI6. Individuals to have taken part in private as well as public hearings included Sir John Scarlett, Sir David Manning and Sir Jeremy Greenstock. Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot said evidence was taken in private where doing so in public would have damaged national security or international relations. Inquiry hears from 35 witnesses in private.
Iraq inquiry hears from 35 witnesses in private
Tony Blair "misread" Iran's view on efforts to build a democracy in Iraq after the 2003 invasion, a former UK ambassador to Tehran said. Tehran did not wish to "destabilise" efforts to establish a government after Saddam Hussein's overthrow, Sir Richard Dalton told the inquiry. Claims of Iranian support for al-Qaeda and the counter-insurgency in Iraq that began in 2004 were "exaggerated", he argued.
Blair 'misread Iran view on Iraq''
The government "let down" the families of British troops killed in Iraq in terms of the support given to them, ex-Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth said. He told the Iraq inquiry that the Ministry of Defence "simply did not get it right" in terms of the overall "welfare package" given to families. Communication was often inconsistent and inquests into deaths in service took too long. However, he defended government action over pay and compensation for injuries as well as the medical care given to the wounded.
Bereaved Iraq families 'let down'
The Blair government should have "sorted out" its plans to rebuild Iraq after the war much sooner, a former minister told the inquiry. Sally Keeble said the Department for International Development's role was still under debate "close to the action" starting in 2003. There was a "problem" with the UK's military and aid roles not being focused enough on one area of Iraq, she added, while "real issues" had arisen over funding.
Iraq plans too late ex-minister says
The inquiry publishes previously secret documents relating to the legality of the war after they were de-classified by the government. Details of former Attorney General Lord Goldsmith's draft legal advice to Tony Blair on 12 February 2003 were published on the inquiry's website, as well as a note he sent to former prime minister on the issue two weeks earlier. The inquiry also heard from the former head of the Diplomatic Service, Lord Jay, who said he was "very uncomfortable" with the idea of military action without the backing of the UN. However, he said he did not "dissent" from Lord Goldsmith's conclusion that the war was lawful.
Iraq war legal advice published
The inquiry resumed hearings after a four-and-a-half month break for the general election. It heard that former French President Jacques Chirac believed the invasion was a "dangerous venture". Sir John Holmes, the UK's ambassador to France in 2003, said Paris saw efforts to get a further UN resolution to authorise military action as a "trap". Also, the man sent to advise Iraqi officials on building up its police force after the invasion said there was not enough focus or resources given to the task. Douglas Brand said British and US officials had unrealistic expectations about how quickly officers could be trained and believed policing structures could be "imposed" quickly after the war despite the unstable situation in the country.
Iraq probe told of Chirac concern
Foreign Secretary David Miliband said the United Nations had been "feeble" in following up threats made to Saddam Hussein in the run-up to the Iraq war. He added that most Iraqis felt they had been liberated from tyranny since the fall of Saddam Hussein and the situation in the country showed "chaotic potential". Ministry of Defence permanent under-secretary Sir Bill Jeffrey said the expansion of UK involvement in Afghanistan did not mean forces left Iraq at the wrong time. Concluding hearings until after the UK general election, inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot urged political parties not to use its proceedings as a campaign issue.
UN feeble with Saddam - Miliband
Prime Minister Gordon Brown denied starving UK armed forces of equipment, insisting at the Iraq inquiry that every request made while he was chancellor was met. Making his long-awaited appearance, the prime minister said he fully backed the 2003 war and had been kept "in the loop" by Tony Blair in the build-up. However, he expressed "sadness" for the deaths of British soldiers and Iraqi citizens.
PM denies Iraq war cash curbs
The full story: Brown's appearance
The inquiry says Prime Minister Gordon Brown will give evidence on 5 March. International Development Secretary Douglas Alexander will also appear on that day while Foreign Secretary David Miliband will appear on 8 March.
Sir Kevin Tebbit, a retired permanent secretary to the Ministry of Defence, claimed Gordon Brown had "guillotined" £1bn from defence spending in December 2003, while efforts to rebuild Iraq were ongoing. This created the need for a "very major savings exercise", he said. Mr Brown rejected the allegations later in Parliament. Also giving evidence, former Defence Secretary John Reid said the "failures of Vietnam" haunted the US military during the earlier part of its time in Iraq, hindering reconstruction efforts. And former human rights envoy Ann Clwyd said she believed there was "no other option" than to remove Saddam Hussein to prevent further persecution of a large section of the Iraqi population.
Brown denies defence 'guillotine'

'No option' in removing Saddam
Tony Blair's cabinet was "misled" into thinking the war with Iraq was legal, ex-International Development Secretary Clare Short told the inquiry. She said Attorney General Lord Goldsmith had been "leaned on" to change his advice before the invasion and that the cabinet had not properly discussed events leading up to the war. She also suggested she had been "conned" into remaining in the cabinet despite her misgivings about the war by the promise of a lead role in post-war reconstruction efforts.
Cabinet misled on Iraq says Short
Ministers were warned of a "serious risk" the military would not have all the equipment it needed to invade Iraq, the inquiry heard. Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, the head of the armed forces, said defence chiefs "simply didn't have enough time" to source everything they wanted and more time to prepare would have made a "significant difference".
Ministers warned of Iraq kit risk
In the most eagerly anticipated moment of the inquiry, Tony Blair insisted he had no regrets in removing Saddam Hussein. During six hours of questioning, the former prime minister mounted a robust defence of his decision to take the UK to war, describing the former Iraqi leader as a "monster" and a threat to the world. There was "no conspiracy, deceit or deception" behind the decisions he took and no "covert" deal with President Bush to back military action. At the time he was convinced the regime possessed weapons of mass destruction while it was clear Saddam planned to step up weapons programmes once he was able to.

The full story: Blair's appearance
Lord Goldsmith told the inquiry he changed his view on the legality of military action but denied this was down to political pressure. While initially believing a second UN resolution was necessary, he concluded otherwise in the middle of February 2003 after consulting with lawyers and diplomats in the US about the meaning of existing UN agreements. He issued a definitive judgement only days before the war because the military said they needed one to go ahead. He made clear he stood by his decision that the invasion was lawful. Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot also said he shared Lord Goldsmith's frustration that not all relevant documents had been declassified.
Goldsmith admits Iraq legal shift
Anger at documents secrecy
Straw defends ignoring advice
Two former Foreign Office legal advisers told the inquiry that, in their opinion, the invasion of Iraq was unlawful without the express backing of the United Nations. Sir Michael Wood, the department's chief legal adviser, said Foreign Secretary Jack Straw rejected his advice that a further mandate from the Security Council was needed to justify military action. His deputy Elizabeth Wilmshurst, who resigned in protest at the decision to go to war, said the way in which the legal arguments were presented and assessed had been "lamentable".
Iraq legal decision 'lamentable'
Straw rejected Iraq legal advice
The inquiry heard from Des Browne and John Hutton, defence secretaries between May 2006 and July 2009. Mr Browne said he found it personally "difficult" to cope with the impact of British fatalities in Iraq. He said he never came under pressure to shift resources from Iraq to Afghanistan but questioned the ability of the UK armed forces to fight two major campaigns at the same time. Mr Hutton said the death toll among Iraqis had been "disastrous" but the invasion was justified as Iraq was now a democracy and not a threat to regional security. But he said a shortage of helicopters was a "factor" in the campaign.
Iraq deaths 'difficult'
Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot confirms that Gordon Brown will appear at the inquiry before the general election. He said Mr Brown had written to the inquiry stating that he would be prepared to give evidence whenever "you see fit" and would be "happy" to do so before the election. Sir John said the hearing was likely to take place in late February or early March at a date to be agreed. Opposition parties, who had criticised the decision to delay Mr Brown's appearance until after the election, welcomed the change of plan.
PM to face inquiry before election
Supporting the invasion was the "most difficult decision" of his life, Jack Straw told the inquiry. The foreign secretary said he was aware the UK could not have gone to war without his backing. He said he had taken the decision "very reluctantly" as he disagreed with the US objective of regime change as the basis for action but he believed Iraq posed a threat. He said the 45-minute claim in the September 2002 dossier on Iraq's weapons threat was an error that "has haunted us ever since".
Iraq my 'hardest choice' - Straw
Including the 45-minute claim in an intelligence dossier on Iraq's weapons was "asking for trouble", Tony Blair's former security co-ordinator Sir David Omand said. He described it as a "bit of local colour" which was used because there was little other detail that the intelligence services were happy to be included in the September 2002 dossier.
45-minute claim 'a bit of colour'
Former defence secretary Geoff Hoon - the first cabinet minister from the period to appear before the inquiry - said the first he heard of the controversial "45 minute claim" on Iraq's weapons was when he read about it in the September 2002 dossier. Separately he also said he had opposed the deployment of British troops to Helmand, before forces were reduced in Iraq.
Iraq weapons claim 'new' to Hoon
Hoon opposed 2006 Helmand mission
Britain gave "no undertaking in blood to go to war in Iraq" in March 2002, Tony Blair's former chief of staff told the Inquiry. Jonathan Powell dismissed ex-diplomat Sir Christopher Meyer's claim that his stance had hardened after a private meeting with the US president. He said there had been an "assumption" Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, because Saddam had used them before.
No Iraq deal 'signed in blood'
It emerges that the inquiry met in private on Friday following a request by General Sir John Reith, the man who ran British operations during the war. He told the inquiry that the Ministry of Defence had been "reluctant" to begin vital logistical planning for a potential invasion as late as December 2002 for fear of alerting the public. Ultimately, he said there were no equipment shortages but some kit could not found once it was sent to Iraq.
Iraq inquiry meets in private
UK forces in southern Iraq had to rely on their US allies for helicopters because all UK aircraft were deployed in Afghanistan, a senior military officer told the inquiry. Major General Graham Binns, who commanded coalition forces in Basra from mid-2007 until early 2008, said there was a "major gap" in attack helicopters but those provided by the US were "magnificent".
Ex-No 10 spokesman Alastair Campbell was attacked for suggesting former cabinet minister and war critic Clare Short was barred from key meetings because she could not be trusted. Former head of the civil service, Lord Turnbull, said his remarks were "very poor" and Ms Short's views should have been respected. He also said Tony Blair must explain recent comments that he would have backed the war even if he had known Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction.
Campbell criticism of Short 'poor'
Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's former communications chief, told the inquiry he would defend "every single word" of the 2002 dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, containing the famous claim that Saddam's weapons could be launched within 45 minutes. In a typically combative performance, stretching over nearly five hours, he said the dossier could have been "clearer" - but he insisted the government did not "misrepresent" the threat they posed by Saddam's weapons. He also denied claims Mr Blair "shifted" to back regime change after a US summit, pouring scorn on the evidence given to the inquiry by former UK ambassador to the US Sir Christopher Meyer.
Campbell defends Iraq war dossier
Lt Gen Sir Richard Shirreff said the British Army was effectively providing "no security at all" in the southern Iraqi city of Basra by mid-2006. The former commanding officer of the multi-national division in south-east Iraq told the inquiry that 200 troops were attempting to control a city of 1.3 million people, with militias "filling the gap". He also said troops had not been employed effectively and criticised equipment levels provided for the mission in southern Iraq.
Basra security was 'non-existent'
The complexity of negotiating the British exit from Iraqi in 2009 was revealed. Peter Watkins from the Ministry of Defence said that one lesson learnt was that the coalition allies should have sought a single agreement with the Iraqis. "We should have applied the Balkans principle of in together out together". Foreign Office officials described with some optimism how life for the people of Basra had steadily improved, six years after the invasion.
Evidence centred on Operation Charge of the Knights in March 2008 when an Iraqi-led military campaign drove the Mahdi Army militia out of Basra. Lt Gen Barney White-Spunner of the Multi- National Division South East said the Iraqis had asked the British to carry out aerial bombing of areas which had not been "sufficiently vetted", where there could be civilian casualties. UK forces refused to launch these attacks. In the event, the Shia militias "crumbled quickly" in the face of the Iraqi-led operation.
Witnesses described the period leading to the drawdown of British forces in Iraq. Jon Day from the Ministry of Defence confirmed that the UK held talks with the Mahdi Army militia in Basra three months before British troops pulled out of the city and moved to the airport. Lt Gen Sir Peter Wall said young soldiers would complain how bored they had become in Basra in the final months of the operation. Christopher Prentice, the British ambassador to Baghdad (2007-09), said the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al Maliki was "very very keen" on the relationship with Britain.
Sir William Patey, the former UK ambassador to Iraq, told the inquiry some post-war ambitions for the country were "probably higher than the ability to deliver". He talked about the difficulties of drafting a constitution and setting up an effective police force. General Sir Nick Houghton, former chief of joint operations, said that, from 2006, there had been pressure to reduce British force levels in Iraq to concentrate on the new mission in Helmand.
Ambassador queries Iraq ambition
The bombing of the UN headquarters in Iraq in 2003 had "a very serious impact" on UK efforts to rebuild the country, former overseas aid official Jim Drummond told the inquiry.
UN Iraq blast 'hindered UK work'
Britain may have had "second thoughts" about its participation in the Iraq war had it foreseen the mayhem that would occur in the years after the invasion, the inquiry was told. Sir John Sawers, a former adviser to Tony Blair and now head of MI6, said the level of violence in post-war Iraq was "unprecedented". Earlier, top commander Lt Gen Sir Robert Fry said the invasion could have failed without the backing of UK troops.
Iraq violence 'unprecedented'
Key decisions taken in post-war Iraq were examined as Sir Jeremy Greenstock made his second appearance before the inquiry. He said the US thwarted UK efforts to give the UN a "leading political role" in post-war Iraq and US officials did not listen to UK advice or even keep them informed of major developments.
Iraq errors 'must not be repeated'
The US refused to accept it was facing an organised counter-insurgency in Iraq, the UK's senior military representative in Baghdad told the inquiry. Lt General John Kiszely quoted former US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as saying growing attacks in 2004 were the work of a "bunch of no hopers". Lt Gen Jonathon Riley, who commanded forces in the south of Iraq, said the US had "no choice" but to disband the Iraqi army - a decision criticised by many UK officials. He said the force lost the respect of the people and effectively "disbanded itself".
Iraq counter-insurgency 'not recognised'
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has yet to appear before the Chilcot inquiry. However, asked about the decision to go to war in a BBC TV interview, he said he would have done so even if he had known Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. The "notion" that Iraq was a threat to the region had tilted him in favour of the invasion, he added. Reacting to the remarks, Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth said he was "surprised" by them while Sir Ken MacDonald, a former director of public prosecutions, has accused Mr Blair of "alarming subterfuge" in justifying the war.
Blair Iraq attitude 'a disgrace'
Blair attacked for Iraq war claims
Tony Blair's ex-foreign policy adviser Sir John Sawers said the US was not talking about war with Iraq in early 2001. Sir John, the current head of MI6, visited Washington in January that year for informal talks with the incoming Bush administration. George W Bush and the then UK prime minister held their first meeting at Camp David in the February. There was agreement that their policy of "containment" of Iraq through sanctions and no-fly zones was "unsustainable", Sir John said. And while there was talk of "regime change", there was no discussion of military intervention.
US 'not talking of war in 2001'
"Amateurs" were put into key roles in post-invasion Iraq, Britain's senior military representative in Iraq said, claiming lives had been lost as a result. Lt Gen Frederick Viggers said senior officials, including ministers, needed more training to deal with the complexities involved in mounting an invasion. Lessons from Iraq were not being applied in Afghanistan, he added. Sir Hilary Synnott, the Coalition Provisional Authority's (CPA) regional co-ordinator for Southern Iraq from July 2003 until January 2004, said the long-term plan for the governance of Iraq was "deeply flawed". He said bureaucracy, resource and expertise problems had hampered the coalition's mission. Lt Gen Sir Graeme Lamb likened the CPA to "dancing with a broken doll".
Army chief lambasts Iraq 'amateurs'
Ex-spy chief Sir John Scarlett said there was "no conscious intention" to manipulate information about Iraq's weapons. He denied being under pressure to "firm up" the September 2002 dossier which contained the claim Iraq could use WMD within 45 minutes of Saddam's order. Former permanent secretary at the Department for International Development, Sir Suma Chakrabarti, said UK aid officials had "scanty" evidence of the situation in Iraq in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion. Air Marshall Sir Brian Burridge, who led UK ground forces in Iraq, said he was told by a top US commander 10 months before that it was a "matter of when not if" it went into Iraq.
No Iraq manipulation says Scarlett
Iraq details 'scanty' before war
Army chief 'told of US Iraq aims'
A senior British officer said he urged Tony Blair to delay the invasion of Iraq two days before the conflict. Maj Gen Tim Cross, who liaised with the US on reconstruction efforts, said planning for after the conflict was "woefully thin". A senior diplomat also told the inquiry the UK government felt "helpless" to deal with the kidnappings of its citizens in following the war. Edward Chaplin, former UK ambassador to Iraq, said the taking hostage and killing of Ken Bigley and Margaret Hassan had been "terrible" events.
Officer urged Blair to delay war
UK felt 'hopeless' over hostages
The US first revealed its military plans at a meeting in June 2002, the UK's chief military adviser to the US Central Army Command told the inquiry. Major General David Wilson said there was no talk of Iraq among top US commanders in Spring 2002 but this "changed suddenly" in June when he said the "curtain was drawn back" on their thinking. Asked to comment on the plans, he said the UK could not back them without political and legal approval. Dominic Asquith, British ambassador to Iraq in 2006-7, said the Treasury refused to provide extra cash for reconstruction projects in Basra which he said was "extremely frustrating".
Moment 'US revealed war plans'
Treasury accused over Iraq funds
The US "assumed" the UK would contribute troops to the invasion even if there was no UN backing, the head of UK armed forces at the time told the inquiry. Admiral Lord Boyce said the "shutters came down" in Washington when UK officials pointed out they would not be able to back the war without Parliamentary approval. He also criticised Clare Short, Secretary of State for International Development during the invasion, saying her department had effectively hampered reconstruction efforts and been "particularly uncooperative".
US 'assumed UK war involvement'
Short's 'Iraq team sat in tents'
In a session dominated by the aftermath of the war, a senior Foreign Office official said there was a "dire" lack of planning in the Bush administration for a post-Saddam Hussein Iraq. Edward Chaplin, head of the Middle East department in 2003, said the UK raised the issue many times but its concerns had been largely overlooked. His colleague, Sir Peter Ricketts, said the UK could have achieved more in its role in stabilising and rebuilding southern Iraq after the invasion if it had been given more resources.
Planning for post-war Iraq 'dire'
Tony Blair indicated he would be willing to back "regime change" at a meeting with President Bush in Texas in April 2002, the prime minister's foreign policy adviser at the time told the inquiry. But Sir David Manning stressed that Mr Blair told the President he should get UN support for the move and continued to press for this throughout 2002. According to Sir David, during the Texas meeting, President Bush said there was no "war plan" for Iraq but a "small cell" had been set up in Florida to explore options for removing Saddam Hussein. Sir David also said Mr Blair asked in June 2002 for military options for the UK joining action against Iraq.
Blair 'pledge on regime change'
The UK's ambassador to the UN in the run-up to the war said he believed the invasion was legal but of "questionable legitimacy" as it was not backed by the majority of UN members or possibly even the British public. Sir Jeremy Greenstock revealed he had not always been kept fully informed of British policy as it developed and had considered resigning at one point. Had weapons inspectors been given more time to do their job, the war could possibly have been prevented, he argued.
Iraq war legitimacy questioned
Tony Blair's stance on Iraq "tightened" after a private meeting with US President George Bush in April 2002, the inquiry was told. Sir Christopher Meyer, the UK's ambassador to the US in the run-up to war, said a day after the meeting Mr Blair mentioned the possibility of regime change publicly for the first time in a speech. In his evidence, the former ambassador said military preparations for war overrode the diplomatic process and he criticised post-war planning for Iraq as a "black hole".
Bush 'hardened' Blair Iraq stance
The UK received intelligence days before invading Iraq that Saddam Hussein may not have been able to use chemical weapons, the inquiry heard. Sir William Ehrman, the Foreign Office's director general for defence and intelligence between 2002 and 2004, also said it was a "surprise" that no weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq. Meanwhile, Gordon Brown rejected claims from Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg that the government could effectively veto aspects of the final report, saying it was up to the inquiry what went into it.
Iraq war eve WMD doubt revealed
On the first day of public hearings, four senior diplomats and advisers gave evidence on the war's origins. Sir Peter Ricketts, a top intelligence official at the time, said the UK government "distanced itself" from talk of removing Saddam Hussein in early 2001. He said it was assumed it was not "our policy" despite growing talk in the US about the move. Before the hearings began, inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot said he would not "shy" away from criticising individuals in his final report.
Inquiry focuses on Iraq 'threat'
Launching the inquiry, Sir John says he intends to hold as many hearings as possible in public. Over the summer, he and his team begin to wade through thousands of government documents relating to the war. In September, the inquiry team meet relatives of some of the 179 service personnel killed in Iraq between as well as retired and serving members of the armed forces. At a meeting in London, a retired Army officer whose son was killed in Iraq says the government "misled" the country over the reasons for going to war.
Iraq inquiry 'told of war lies'
Gordon Brown announces an inquiry will be set up to "learn the lessons" of the Iraq conflict, to be led by former civil servant Sir John Chilcot. He tells MPs it should be held in private but within days and under pressure from the opposition and ex-government officials, he says it will be up to Chilcot to decide how to proceed.

Barcelona arrive in Glasgow on Tuesday lunchtime for the latest shoot-out between familiar foes, where defeat would finally end the Scottish champions' hopes of reaching the last 16.
And Celtic will be praying that Lionel Messi has not made that flight.
Barca's Argentina superstar missed Saturday's exasperating goalless draw at home to mid-table Malaga with illness.
And it is the Andalusians who will have handed Brendan Rodgers a degree of confidence that his team can repeat Celtic's barnstorming 2012 victory over the same opponents.
Barca had 81% possession against Juande Ramos' outsiders. They had 14 corners and 28 shots at goal. They didn't have Messi.
The 29-year-old was on his sick bed as his team-mates fired blanks at the Nou Camp for the first time since February 2015.
Midfielder Andres Iniesta has also been dogged by knee problems throughout the season.
They didn't have the suspended Luis Suarez either, though the Uruguay striker returns for their trip to Scotland.
And, while Luis Enrique's side still possess more than enough to sweep aside just about anyone and everyone, there is little doubt they are prone to the odd bout of profligacy without him.
The Barca boss's post-match tone suggested more than a bit of frustration at the spilling of two home points, describing his side as "infinitely" better.
"It's very difficult to create clear-cut chances against a team that takes such a defensive approach," he said.
"I can only praise my team, my players and the fans. They didn't get the reward they deserved.
"We have lost games with Messi and Suarez in the team. It's squads that win titles."
Enrique was clearly irked by the Malaga approach, with the visitors' penalty box resembling the M8 Plantation at rush hour throughout.
However, the discipline, determination and no little luck that Malaga carried will have to be replicated by Rodgers' men and, the more the Northern Irishman thinks about it, the more he'll be convinced they can keep their European hopes alive.
For his part, former Tottenham Hotspur boss Ramos claimed it would have been "suicide" to approach the match with anything other than containment in mind.
"My players were exceptional," he said. "We had four players from the B team playing. It would have been suicide not to have played how we played.
"We prepared for the game Barca were going to play with their best players [available]. We didn't change that.
"They played with 11 internationals. To have had Lionel would have been another problem, but we coped with everything they threw at us."
As the saying goes, it is the hope that kills you.
Barca have lost both the matches they have played immediately before their last two games against Celtic, before going on to inflict record European defeats on their Scottish opponents.
Another saying is that hope springs eternal.
And, depending on what happens in Monchengladbach, with Manchester City visiting Borussia, it may be that Celtic have to produce something even more gargantuan than their 2012 heroics to drag their European season through the cold winter months.
They would do worse than study the performance of Ramos' men from the Costa del Sol in their quest to do so.
Top two teams qualify for group stages; third-placed team enters Europa League; fourth-placed team eliminated
Site owner City Property has confirmed the market has been "partially re-opened".
Only smaller vehicles are being allowed into the site on Thursday evening, although access for HGVs may become possible overnight.
Firefighters were called to the two-storey Blochairn Fruit Market in the north east of the city when the alarm was raised at 03:44.
At the height of the fire widespread flames could be seen across the site and more than 70 firefighters were in attendance.
Workers, who had been processing orders and loading vans, were evacuated. There were no reports of any injuries.
Crews are continuing to hose down the building.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said despite extensive damage, much of the building had been saved.
The British Hospitality Association had predicted that the blaze would affect local restaurants, flower shops and cafes which rely on daily deliveries from Blochairn.
City Property, which owns the site, said it was trying to establish alternative arrangements so that normal business could resume as soon as possible.
SFRS deputy assistant chief officer John Joyce said: "What I can tell you is that we've saved a very good proportion of it.
"In fact the site operator are pretty happy with the parts that we have saved because that is the main operational part of the building.
"It's a real shame for those businesses which have been badly affected, but we're working with the businesses and the city council to get the functioning part open as soon as possible."
He said a specialist fire investigation team would attempt to establish the cause of the fire in the coming days.
BBC Scotland understands one line of inquiry being looked at by the fire investigation team is the possibility the fire started in a fridge in the fruit market.
Fish merchant Donald Neilson, the director of John Vallance Ltd, described seeing the fire coming towards them along the roof.
He said there had been reports of a small fire at the other end of the market.
Mr Neilson said he had not thought the fire would impact on his the part of the site, and he went to check the fruit market area.
"It really was like a raging inferno through there at the far end," said Mr Neilson.
"I ran back in and shouted to our staff 'everybody get out right now'."
He said deliveries were left lying and vans were left half-loaded.
"The most important thing is everybody got out," he said.
Jim McGhee, who owns Castle Douglas fruit and veg shop Mitchell's, was also there when the fire broke out.
"I was in the market at 02:30 this morning - I had been there for about an hour and the fire alarms went off," he said.
"Within 10 minutes the fire had spread right through the bottom end of the market and gas cylinders were exploding.
"It was really quite bad."
He said it had been quite easy to walk out of the warehouse, and that the fire brigade had been on the scene "really quickly".
Initially, emergency services were being hampered in their efforts to put out the fire due to low water pressure caused by the number of appliances tackling the blaze.
Scottish Water was contacted and took steps to boost the water pressure in the area.
Insp Stuart Clemenson, from Police Scotland, told BBC Scotland the building had been still well ablaze three hours after the fire started.
He said: "The site itself employs approximately 400 people who have now all evacuated out."
SFRS said 12 fire engines and four aerial appliances had been involved in the operation.
Police Scotland said Blochairn Road between Royston Road and Siemens Place had been closed due to the fire. Local diversions were in place.
A large plume of smoke from the building led to speed restrictions put in place for drivers on the nearby M8 motorway. This was later lifted.
Hundreds of traders work at the market, supplying fresh fruit and vegetables and fish to shops and restaurants in the west of the country.
The con-artists often adopt the persona of someone in authority such as a police officer or a fraud detection manager, transcripts have shown.
The Take Five campaign, which raises awareness of scams, asked a speech pattern analyst to study calls.
Dr Paul Breen said fraudsters use a variety of techniques to garner trust.
"The process used by fraudsters is carefully scripted from beginning to end - knowing the language fraudsters will use to mimic patterns of trust can help people to avoid becoming a victim," he said.
He found that while many people are more likely to trust a stranger over the phone if they sound like a "nice person", a caller acknowledging someone's concerns and sounding apologetic can be the hallmark of a scam.
Analysis suggested that fraudsters use snippets of information about their victims, remain patient and acknowledge concerns about security to gain the trust of the person being called.
Cases of identity fraud have been rising, with young people a growing target, often after people give up personal information to someone pretending to be from their bank, the police or a retailer.
Scottish Chambers of Commerce (SCC) found the construction and retail and wholesale sectors had "a relatively successful" first three months of the year.
But nearly half of manufacturing firms reported a decline in orders.
And about 45% of firms in financial and business services said profits declined over the quarter.
SCC's latest quarterly economic indicator also suggested that the tourism sector enjoyed strong sales, but companies were less confident about future performance and profit margins.
Construction firms indicated a growth in profitability, with 50% of all respondents reporting that overall sales revenue had increased over the quarter.
More building companies said they anticipated growth to continue in terms of sales revenue, employment and investment over the next three months.
But they reported that skills shortages remained a challenge for the sector.
Firms in retail and wholesale reported growth in sales and investment, with an increase in online sales boosting optimism.
About 45% of businesses in the sector said they expected growth in sales to continue in the current quarter.
A similar percentage of manufacturers experienced a decline in orders following a strong quarter at the end of 2015.
However, the majority of respondents expected orders to increase or remain at the same level over the next three months.
Nearly half of all financial and business services firms who took part in the survey said profits over the quarter declined.
But SCC noted "a clear distinction between the performance of oil and gas sector businesses, which are continuing to report weak performance and non-oil and gas businesses which are reporting positive trends".
SCC chief executive Liz Cameron said: "This detailed picture of the Scottish economy after the first three months of 2016 shows that business performance is inconsistent across a range of sectors.
"As Scotland prepares to head to the polls for next month's Scottish Parliamentary elections, we know that our economy is on a knife edge between growth and recession and that the prospects for the future are unclear.
"In these circumstances, it is imperative that our new Scottish government puts the economy at the centre of its plan for government over the next five years, systematically addressing those factors under the Scottish Parliament's control that could be used to make Scotland the most competitive place in the UK to do business."
Michal Malecki, 31, admitted false imprisonment and wounding after storming into the Bita Pathways centre on Alcester Street in the Digbeth area of Birmingham in August.
One of the women he held hostage needed stitches to her arm after Malecki cut her with scissors.
The siege lasted for nearly five hours.
Updates on this story and more from Birmingham
About 20 members of staff, 100 service users and 10 students in the building were moved from the centre to the nearby Spotted Dog pub while police negotiators tried to persuade Malecki to release the women.
Shortly before he went into the charity he had been reported as "behaving erratically" in a nearby bus station, pushing a till off a counter and trying to smash a display cabinet.
He then went outside and jumped on and rode on the bonnet of a moving car before going into the Pathways centre.
At the time, the chief executive of Pathways, Erica Barnett, said the man "was not connected in any way" to the charity and was "a total stranger off the street."
As well as wounding and false imprisonment, Malecki pleaded guilty to the possession of class B drugs and two counts of common assault. He was jailed for four years and three months.
Det Ch Insp Sean Russell from West Midlands Police, said: "Malecki was responsible for a terrifying attack on staff at a charity he had no connection with. I am satisfied that he has been made to pay for his crimes.
"I hope that his jailing will mean the victims of his crimes can start to move forward knowing their attacker has been brought to justice."
The shadow chancellor has said those on over £80,000 a year would pay "a modest bit more" to fund public services.
Income tax in Wales could be varied by 10p within each tax band from 2019.
Labour pledged in the 2016 assembly election campaign not to raise income tax in the current assembly term.
During First Minister's Questions on Tuesday, the leader of the UKIP group at the assembly, Neil Hamilton said: "The Labour Party nationally is apparently going to stand on a policy of increasing the top rate of income tax from 45p to 50p."
Mr Jones said he would stand on a platform of ensuring that those who can afford to pay a little bit more do so in order to ensure that we have the public services that people expect.
Mr Hamilton then said: "I take it from that response that it is now the policy of the Welsh Government when tax powers are devolved to this assembly to follow the Labour Party's manifesto nationally of increasing the top rate of tax in Wales.
"Because the evidence from the last time this happened in 2013 was that reducing the tax rate from 50p to 45p led to an enormous increase in revenue of about £8bn."
The first minister replied: "As far as the Welsh rate of income tax is concerned we've already pledged that we will not increase the rate of income tax during the course of this assembly."
Plaid Cymru has said it would look at the possibility of a ring-fenced tax rise to pay for health and social care when a Welsh rate is devolved.
The Welsh Conservatives have called for cuts to the higher and basic rate, the Liberal Democrats have also proposed cutting the basic rate once the power passes to Wales
Tax devolution will give Welsh ministers powers over about 20% of the money they receive to spend on public services.
But most of their budget - currently around £15bn a year - will continue to come from an annual block grant from the UK Treasury.
The Scottish golf club said a recent consultation found that admitting women members was supported by over three-quarters of those who participated.
Muirfield voted in May not to admit women members and lost its right to stage the Open Championship.
Royal Troon, situated in South Ayrshire, is the host for this year's Open, which runs from 14-17 July.
Troon said in January it would review of its male-only membership policy.
Club captain Martin Cheyne said: "We have said a number of times recently that it is important for golf clubs to reflect the society in which we exist and the modern world that looks to us.
"Therefore, I am delighted with the decision taken by Members of Royal Troon this evening and look forward to welcoming women to our great Club.
"It is the right decision for the Club today, and for the generations of golfers that will follow."
The vote came just two weeks before the Ayrshire course was due to be the venue for the Open.
Mr Cheyne added: "Tonight, we turn our attention to jointly hosting the 145th Open Championship with our great friends at The Ladies Golf Club, Troon.
"We can now all be focused on golf and showcasing this wonderful club and golf course to the huge global audience that this most prestigious Championship commands."
The decision has been welcomed by the sport's governing body, the Royal and Ancient.
A statement from it said: "We welcome this decision by the membership at Royal Troon and recognise its significance for the club.
"Our focus today is very much on The 145th Open in just under two weeks' time but we can now look forward to many more great Championships at Royal Troon in years to come."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "A victory for equality and common sense. Well done, Royal Troon. Hopefully Muirfield will follow suit."
Muirfield's decision in May not to admit women members was greeted with anger in and out of the game and the course was stripped of the right to host the Open.
The East Lothian club held a ballot at the end of a two-year consultation on membership but failed to get the two-thirds majority of its 648 eligible voters required to change policy.
The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, which runs Muirfield, said it is now seeking a fresh ballot.
Irish President Michael D Higgins made the announcement during a visit to the University of California at Berkeley.
He said an initial grant of $40,000 (36,000 euros) would be used to support the establishment of a new Irish studies programme on campus.
The grant will also be used towards the organisation of events and debates on Irish cultural themes.
RTÉ reports that the grant is from the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and will not be used to develop taught academic programmes.
Dean of Arts and Humanities Anthony Cascardi said the campus had a "bit of Irish in its blood".
He acknowledged that Berkeley was named after George Berkeley, an alumnus of Trinity College in Dublin.
Earlier this year, six people died after a balcony collapsed during a 21st birthday party in the city of Berkeley.
Five of the six people who died were Irish students based in the US as part of a work exchange programme.
The Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens, erected more than 80 years ago, is used as part of Hogmanay and festival firework celebrations.
Councillors will next week discuss multimillion-pound proposals to redevelop the gardens.
The 140-year-old Ross Fountain would also be restored.
It is part of plan by city hotelier Norman Springford, who has offered to help finance the project.
Mr Springford, who owns four Apex hotels in the capital, said: "Whilst it has been a personal ambition to see redevelopment, the opportunity for this to become a reality arises from a real spirit of public/private co-operation.
"I'm sure we are all looking forward to being given the chance to deliver a project which the city can have pride in."
Members of the council's corporate policy and strategy committee will be asked to consider the feasibility of the project at a meeting on Tuesday.
The next stage would see the publication of a report for consideration by the full council.
The plans would then go to the Scottish government as the Ross Bandstand is on common ground.
The Ross Bandstand venue was developed as a venue in 1935 and has a capacity of 2,400.
The original facility dates back to 1877, gifted to Edinburgh by William Henry Ross, chairman of the Distillers Company Ltd.
Andrew Burns, City of Edinburgh Council's leader, said: "Scores of famous acts have graced the Ross Bandstand stage and while it remains a key venue for the city's famous festival fireworks and hogmanay concert in the Gardens, it is more than 80 years old and is nearing the end of its useful life.
"It has been a long-held ambition of the council to create a new facility as part of major renewal of the gardens but is not, in the current financial climate, a project we could undertake alone.
"We are extremely grateful to Mr Springford for his personal commitment to the project.
"Princes Street Gardens are a major source of residents' pride in the city and it is important that we get any changes to the park right."
UnitingCare won a competitive tender to run the contract to supply older people and adult community healthcare in Cambridgeshire. It began on 1 April.
Jo Rust from the union Unison said "it's evident that they can't make financial cost savings" promised.
Patients have been told services will not be disrupted.
Older people's services have been transferred back to Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CPCCG).
Dr Neil Modha, its chief clinical officer, said "both parties" had decided to end the contract because "the current arrangement is no longer financially sustainable".
He added "we all wish to keep this model of integrated service delivery" and "services will continue and not be disrupted".
UnitingCare declined to be interviewed.
It is a consortium of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The company was selected to run the service by CPCCG after a lengthy procurement process and from a shortlist of three organisations.
What does the £800m five-year contract cover?
Ms Rust said she was "totally shocked" at news the contract had come to an end.
"It cost over £1m to commission the UnitingCare partnership, to put it out to tender - and it was a waste of money," she said.
"But it will be business as usual as these services are vital to the health economy of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, despite the uncertainty."

Hameed, 19, was one of three uncapped players selected for the two Tests in Bangladesh starting next month.
Boycott, also an opener, scored 8,114 runs at an average of 47 in 108 Tests for England from 1964 to 1982.
"He had quite a good career, so he's not a bad person to be compared to," Hameed told BBC Radio 5 live.
The former England Under-19 captain, who has been described as "Baby Boycott", added: "I'd like to think I'm more of a modern-day Boycott. I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve."
BBC Test Match Special pundit Boycott is England's sixth highest Test run-scorer of all time, while Hameed, who made his Lancashire debut in August 2015, has played only 19 first-class matches.
He has scored 1,129 runs in County Championship Division One this season, including four centuries and seven fifties.
If he plays in Bangladesh, he is set to become only the second teenager to open the batting for England in Tests.
"Mum and Dad were quite emotional," Hameed said of his call-up.
"They've made a lot of sacrifices for moments like these and hopefully I can provide them with a few more."
England play three one-day internationals in Bangladesh, beginning on 7 October, before the first Test in Chittagong starts on 20 October.
Alex Hales, captain Alastair Cook's opening partner for much of the last year, opted not to tour because of security fears.
His absence means Hameed and 21-year-old Northamptonshire batsman Duckett, who has scored 1,338 first-class runs this season, are in contention to open the batting.
"I'm in a very different situation from the guys who have already played for England," Duckett told BBC Radio Northamptonshire.
"This is my first tour. It's what I've wanted to do all my life.
"I'm not going to throw it away just because people are talking about what could happen in Bangladesh."
Surrey all-rounder Zafar Ansari is the third of the uncapped players named in a 17-man squad, while Surrey team-mate and off-spinner Gareth Batty has been recalled 11 years after playing the last of his seven Tests.
When play began at 13:10 BST because of a wet outfield, Gloucestershire resumed on 69-0, 265 behind the Foxes and looking for batting bonus points.
The visitors ended on 403-2 at Grace Road, with Dent (165) sharing a stand of 177 with Van Buuren (121 not out).
Leicestershire are fourth in Division Two and Gloucestershire third.
Gloucestershire captain Gareth Roderick: "I suppose you could say it's a winning draw, and it's good to finish a few points ahead of a team close to us in the table, but there just wasn't enough cricket left in the game.
"That said, it was a very pleasing effort with the bat today.
"Chris Dent is in a rich vein of form, and Graeme van Buuren is showing just what a good acquisition he is - and then to have Michael Klinger and Hamish Marshall to come, it shows what a good batting line-up we have now."
Leicestershire director of elite performance Andrew McDonald: "We probably weren't at our best with the ball today, which isn't like us, but they're a quality batting unit.
"It's very tight in the table, ten points or so covering the top four, and it will probably be tight until the end.
"There's an awful lot of cricket to play and a win here or there could make all the difference." | The UK inquiry into the 2003 Iraq war will publish its long-awaited report on Wednesday.

Cheika said Cole had been "infringing the law since his career started probably, if not all of this year".
But hooker Hartley told BBC Radio 5 live: "You don't stumble across 60-odd caps scrummaging illegally.
"The directives we get back from the refs always say that England have a good, clean scrummage."
Hartley added: "I play against Cole a couple of times a year and it's always very difficult against him. He's a rock, like every tight-head should be.
"There's plenty for us to work on and we're looking for that complete scrummaging performance this weekend because this team is underpinned by a dominant set-piece and that's what we want to provide."

England's victory over Argentina last weekend was their 13th in a row and their 12th under head coach Eddie Jones - and a win over Australia in the final autumn international would equal their longest winning run, set across 2002 and 2003.
Cheika and his former Randwick team-mate Jones have exchanged frank views this week.
Jones, who led his native Australia to the 2003 World Cup final defeat by England has accused the Wallabies of "illegalities" in the set-piece, and said they "can't scrummage".
Cheika claimed Jones has "always operated with a chip on his shoulder" and tarnished his legacy with comments made in the summer when England completed a 3-0 series win in Australia in June, becoming the first touring side to secure a whitewash down under since South Africa in 1971.
The HMS Dragon diverted 500 miles to reach the 13 Britons and one American after the mast and rudder had broken off their racing yacht.
The 60ft (18m) Clyde Challenger yacht had been travelling to the UK from the Azores when it was damaged in stormy conditions on Thursday.
The navy's Type 45 Destroyer rescued the crew at 14:30 GMT on Saturday.
The Clyde Challenger was 610 miles south-west of Land's End when HMS Dragon arrived on Saturday.
Chemical tanker CPO Finland, aided by RAF and US Air Force planes, had tried to rescue the Clyde Challenger's crew three times, but failed due to bad weather.
Petty officer Max Grosse, of HMS Dragon, said: "Despite racing through the night, we only had three hours of daylight remaining in which to safely remove the crew.
"The prevailing weather conditions and notorious Atlantic swell made it enormously challenging though and really tested the skills of my experienced sea boat coxswains."
The yacht, which is normally berthed in the Clyde Estuary, was designed to compete in the Clipper Round The World yacht race and had been used for corporate, private and charity charters, according to its website.
Its owner, Lewis Learning Ltd, said that the yacht could not be recovered, and that the crew of the Clyde Challenger would arrive onshore on Tuesday.
It extended "huge thanks" to all those involved in "organising and executing the safe transfer of the crew".
It has ordered that the country's Hindu marriage act should be altered to allow irretrievable breakdown of marriage as grounds for divorce.
Up until now, a divorce would in most cases be granted by the courts only if there were mutual consent.
Correspondents say that marriage breakdowns are becoming more common and India's divorce rate is increasing.
Minister of information Ambika Soni said that the proposed change in the law would help an estranged partner get a divorce "if any party does not come to court or wilfully avoids the court".
Last year the Supreme Court said the judiciary should strive to keep married people together, but it also ruled that couples who had completely split should not be denied a divorce.
The latest proposed amendment, passed by a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, will include irretrievable breakdown of marriage as a legal justification for divorce for the first time.
"In today's day and age it may be a welcome step but it will only really help urban women," Kamini Jaiswal, a Supreme Court advocate, told the AFP news agency.
"Rural women will still get a raw deal as they are more oppressed by their husbands.
"Divorce is definitely more socially acceptable in urban India," she said. "I have seen a rapid rise in divorces, but in order to obtain a divorce it can take anywhere from six months to 20 years."
Official figures on the divorce rate are unavailable but experts say that roughly 11 Indian marriages in every 1,000 end in divorce. The rate in the United States is about 400 in every 1,000.
The bodies of 796 babies, toddlers and children were buried in unmarked graves in Tuam, County Galway, between 1925 and 1961.
One of the children was nine years old when buried.
The infants' death records were found by a historian researching the former home.
Catherine Corless told BBC Radio Ulster she was "staggered and shocked" at the number of people buried without headstones.
The causes of death included malnutrition and infectious diseases, such as TB and pneumonia.
Campaigners now hope to erect a sculpture and put plaques with all the children's names along the eight foot wall at the site.
The campaign has won support from the TD (Irish MP) for the area, Ciarán Cannon, who has called for an inquiry.
It is understood that the Bon Secours Sisters, who ran the home for unmarried mothers, have donated some money to the memorial fund.
They have also met with the Archbishop of Tuam, Dr Michael Neary, to discuss holding a memorial service for those who died.

Philippe Jegouzo, 33, was allegedly stabbed in the neck in an unprovoked attack, after he and his wife had stopped at a rest area at Conners Well on the Stuart Highway about 100km (60 miles) north of Alice Springs.
The incident happened last Wednesday.
The accused will appear at Alice Springs Local Court on Monday.
Mr Jegouzo's wife tried to beat off the attacker by hitting him with a picnic table, according to local press reports.
After the attack, she flagged down a passing car in which a nurse and her husband were travelling.
The nurse tried in vain to save Mr Jegouzo's life, while her husband drove to the Aileron roadhouse, 40km (25 miles) further north, to raise the alarm.
On Thursday, police detained a Melbourne man who had spent a night on the run in the bush.

Detective Superintendent Travis Wurst of the Northern Territory police described the attack as "bizarre" and "random" and said tourists should not be worried about driving through the area.
"There are no safety concerns for any tourist or any traveller or any resident of Alice Springs or Central Australia whatsoever," said DS Wurst.
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill has taken steps which, if approved by the Scottish Parliament, would mean a new limit being introduced on 5 December.
Under the plans, Scotland's blood alcohol limit would be cut from 80mg to 50mg in every 100ml of blood.
It would mean the legal limit in Scotland would be lower than in England - where the limit is 80mg in blood.
The UK Department of Transport said there were no plans to alter the drink drive limit south of the border.
In practice the change in Scotland could mean a glass of wine or a pint of beer would put a driver over the legal limit.
Draft legislation has been laid before parliament, and will bring Scotland's legal alcohol limits in line with much of Europe.
A public awareness campaign will warn drivers not to drink at all.
Mr MacAskill said drinking and driving shattered families and communities, and that it was time to take action to reduce the risk on the country's roads.
He told BBC Scotland the plans to change the drink-drive limit had "broad support".
The justice secretary said: "The support comes not just from the police and law enforcement. It comes from those involved in road safety."
Asked why the government didn't simply apply a zero tolerance approach, Mr MacAskill said: "There are reasons why individuals may have alcohol in their system. It is also quite clear at the 50 (mg) limit, that is when impairment begins to kick in."
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) welcomed the move, and called for the rest of the UK to follow suit.
The drink-drive limit in the UK is currently 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood.
However - like Scotland - the limit in Northern Ireland could be reduced from 80mg in blood to 50mg as part of proposals included in the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill.
The bill is currently being considered by the Northern Ireland Assembly and could become law by early next year.
A 50mg limit would mean an average man would be limited to just under a pint of beer or a large glass of wine and women to half a pint of beer or a small glass of wine.
Sandy Allan, Rospa's Road Safety Manager in Scotland, said he believed the move would save lives and prevent injuries on Scotland's roads.
He added: "There is a considerable body of research which shows that reducing drink drive limits is effective in reducing drink-drive deaths and injuries. We would like to see the rest of the UK follow Scotland's example."
When asked about why a joint approach with the Westminster government on the issue was not agreed, Mr MacAskill said: "We did seek that, but it was the United Kingdom government that decided not to lower the limit despite, I think, a great deal of public support for it being lowered down there."
The latest estimates are that approximately one in 10 deaths on Scottish roads involve drivers who are over the legal limit.
Research has suggested that just one alcoholic drink before driving can make you three times as likely to be involved in a fatal car crash.
However, speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, George Goldie from the Institute of Advanced Motorists, said he did not believe the change would improve road safety and he questioned the motivation behind it saying it would "increase income" gathered from fines.
He added: "We have very few statistics, if any, to show how many accidents are caused by people who are marginally over the limit. Most of the accidents are caused by people who are blatantly blitzed.
"I'm much more concerned about improving driving, as opposed to improving the one in 10. I am much, much more interested in improving the nine in 10."
According to UK-wide figures from the Department of Transport, there were an estimated 6,680 road accidents involving illegal alcohol levels in 2012, making drink driving a factor in 4% of all accidents.
In 2012, an estimated 230 people were killed in drink drive accidents in the UK - accounting for 13% of all reported road fatalities. These are the most up-to-date figures available.
UK Road Safety Minister Robert Goodwill said tackling drink driving was a priority for the government at Westminster.
He said ministers were "strengthening enforcement" by removing the automatic right for drivers who failed a breathalyser test to demand a blood test and by introducing mobile evidential breath testing equipment next year.
However, he added: "We have no plans to alter the drink drive limit."
The Scottish government previously announced its intention to reduce the limit following a consultation which found that almost three quarters of those who responded backed the move.
Owen Brannigan, 45, died after being stabbed at a house in Coatbridge in November 1999.
James McGowan, 57, was arrested by police in Australia last year and has now been extradited to face charges over Mr Brannigan's death.
He is due to appear from custody at Airdrie Sheriff Court later.
A police spokeswoman said: "A 57-year-old man has been arrested and is presently detained in police custody in connection with the death of Owen Brannigan in November 1999 in Coatbridge."
Joshua Bradley, 19, of Bulwell, died after the fight in Thurland Street on 8 February.
A 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Six people were arrested in connection with Mr Bradley's death on Tuesday.
Richard Johnson, 24, of Belton Street, Hyson Green, has already been charged with Mr Bradley's murder.
Two men, aged 21 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday.
A 29-year-old man and two women, aged 27 and 28, were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Another man, 19, who was arrested on suspicion of murder was released without charge.
Last month, three men were also charged with violent disorder in connection with the brawl.
The Old Royal Station in Ballater was ravaged by the blaze in May 2015.
The old station had been the final stopping point for members of the Royal Family heading to Balmoral.
A visitor information centre and a restaurant will feature in the new building along with a library and an enhanced exhibition space.
The work is expected to be completed in December.
An articulated lorry carrying bales of hay caught fire on the London-bound motorway between Faversham and Sittingbourne, in Kent, at 10:15 BST.
It is currently closed to traffic with reports of seven-mile tailbacks. There are diversions via the A20 and M20.
Highways England said the motorway was expected to reopen at about 23:00 BST.
No-one is believed to have been injured in the incident.
Kent Police tweeted that six motorists driving on the hard shoulder would be prosecuted after the fire engine "couldn't get through".
It advised that if stuck on a motorway, drivers should wait and "we will get you out if it is safe".
It is thought that Vernon Presley changed the finish on the Gibson Dove to black after his son earned a black belt in karate.
Presley gave the guitar to a fan during a concert in North Carolina in 1975.
Auctioneers Julien's also sold John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for The Beatles' Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite! for $354,400 (£244,000).
Other items in the sale included a red neoprene vinyl jacket which Michael Jackson wore for his 1996-97 HIStory world tour, and Elvis Presley's first piano.
The jacket sold for $256,000, over four times the pre-sale estimate, while the piano fetched $140,025 - about $60,000 under what had been predicted.
Lady Gaga's first piano, which had been valued at $100,000, failed to find a buyer, as did Stevie Ray Vaughan's Fender Broadcaster electric guitar, which was estimated at over $400,000.
The 17-year-old boy said he was drunk and targeting taxis in Birmingham on 25 May.
He appeared with three other youths at Birmingham Youth Court on Monday, where he admitted wounding.
The others, two aged 16 and one 15, were convicted of wounding. All four were convicted of conspiring to damage taxis.
The victim was in the back seat of the vehicle as it drove along Bellevue Avenue, Edgbaston.
She was injured when the stone smashed through the glass and hit her.
She was left with multiple fractures and severe bruising to her eye.
The court heard at least three taxis were hit that night, with £1,600 damage caused.
The youths were arrested six weeks after the attack.
In a witness statement to the court, the victim, who does not want to be named, said: "We shouldn't have to put up with this sort of violence.
"If the brick had hit the taxi driver, we could have all been killed."
The teenagers, all from Birmingham, will be sentenced on February 3.
The staging of the 23 August event has been opposed by unionist parties and some city councillors called for a review of it.
Mr Galloway had said he would not withdraw from the event, billed as Saturday Night with George Galloway.
The Ulster Hall is owned by the city council.
On Friday, the council said: "Following a request for a review of the decision to grant the use of the Ulster Hall for an event involving George Galloway, Belfast City Council has received legal advice confirming that any decision to terminate the contract in question is likely to lead to a claim for breach of contract and/or a challenge by way of judicial review in respect of freedom of expression.
"The event will, therefore, proceed as planned."
West Yorkshire Police are investigating recent comments by the Respect MP urging people in Bradford to reject all Israeli goods, services, academics and tourists.
One of those opposed to the event, Democratic Unionist (DUP) councillor Brian Kingston, said the booking should be reviewed in light of the comments and due to tensions in Northern Ireland relating to the the situation in Gaza.
"He goes far beyond calling for a boycott, he is rejecting and demonising an entire country and its people," Mr Kingston said.
Ulster Unionist councillor Jim Rodgers also wrote to the council calling for a review.
In response, Mr Galloway said: "To be lectured on good relations by the DUP is a bit like being told to sit up straight by the Hunchback of Notre Dame."
"It's a commercial contract with the Ulster Hall, signed, sealed and will be delivered, except on terms of very severe compensation."
On Tuesday, it emerged that a plaque erected to former Israeli president president Chaim Herzog at his former home in north Belfast had to be removed after a number of recent attacks.
Last month windows were smashed at a synagogue on north Belfast's Somerton Road.
It will be the first time doctors have ever removed cover from areas such as A&E and intensive care.
The British Medical Association said it had been left with "no choice" in its fight against the imposition of a new contract in England.
But Mr Gummer said the government could not be "held hostage".
Previous junior doctors strikes have affected only routine care.
But the all-out stoppages - which will take place from 08:00 to 17:00 on 26 and 27 April - will include emergency care.
It will mean consultants being drafted in from other hospital departments to staff emergency care, potentially causing huge disruption to routine services.
Mr Gummer told the House of Commons that "we will do everything in our power to ensure patients are protected," but added "if you withdraw the number of doctors that will be withdrawn by the BMA in this action then there is an increased risk of patient harm".
Labour's Heidi Alexander said this was a "worrying time for patients" and urged ministers to listen to patients and "think again" to avert strike action.
She told the Commons: "The secretary of state may think the matter is closed, I say that is arrogant and dangerous in the extreme.
"This is an awful game of brinkmanship and the government must press the pause button before it is too late."
A full walk-out is unchartered territory for hospitals - and of course raises the risk for patients.
Consultants will have to be drafted in from all across the hospital to staff everything from intensive care and emergency surgery to, of course, A&E. That will undoubtedly mean a mass postponement of routine work.
But perhaps more important is what it means for life-threatening care - the heart attack patients and car accident victims. Greater consultant presence in A&E may mean better, quicker care, as they will be more available to make decisions about what patients need.
In emergency surgery, consultants are helped by junior colleagues. Having more consultants in a theatre should resolve that. But where it becomes less clear is what sort of response patients on wards get if they have a medical emergency.
Normally, junior doctors would be among the first medics called. Without them there, and with consultants and other staff deployed elsewhere, patients could be vulnerable.
Yesterday, BMA junior doctors' leader Dr Johann Malawana said: "No junior doctor wants to take this action, but the government has left us with no choice.
"In refusing to lift imposition and listen to junior doctors' outstanding concerns, the government will bear direct responsibility for the first full walkout of doctors in this country.
"The government is refusing to get back around the table and is ploughing ahead with plans to impose a contract junior doctors have no confidence in and have roundly rejected.
"We want to end this dispute through talks, but the government is making this impossible."
The Bank voted 8-1 to keep rates on hold, and said inflation was only expected to pick up slowly, staying below 1% until the second half of 2016.
The report led to speculation that rates might not now rise for a year.
The pound fell more than a cent against the dollar to $1.5243, and was more than a cent lower against the euro.
The pound was trading at €1.4020 against the single currency by 16:30 GMT.
The stock market rose after the release of Bank's report, but then fell in afternoon trading. The FTSE 100 index closed down almost 48 points at 6,364.
Shares in drugs firm AstraZeneca rose almost 3% after the company raised its full-year forecasts for revenue and earnings.
Morrisons shares closed nearly 6% lower following the supermarket's latest trading update, which showed like-for-like sales excluding fuel fell by 2.6% in the third quarter.
In the FTSE 250, Thomas Cook shares fell 7% in reaction to the news that flights between Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt and the UK have been suspended.
Thomas Cook has cancelled its flight and holiday programme to Sharm el-Sheikh until 12 November.

Her legal team declined to give details but said prison conditions contributed to her fragile mental state.
Manning was sentenced to 14 days in solitary confinement in September for charges relating to her attempt to kill herself in July.
The transgender army private, born Bradley Manning, is serving a 35-year sentence for espionage.
She was found guilty in September by prison officials in Leavenworth, Kansas, of "conduct which threatens" after her initial suicide attempt.
She was also convicted of having "prohibited property" - the book "Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy" by Gabriella Coleman.
In July, the former intelligence analyst attempted to take her own life after what lawyers said was the Army's refusal to provide appropriate health care.
She later went on hunger strike which ended after the military agreed to provide her with gender dysphoria treatment.
Her lawyer Chase Strangio described her treatment in a letter, quoted by the AP news agency, as "demoralising", adding that it was an "assault on her health and humanity".
"She has repeatedly been punished for trying to survive and now is being repeatedly punished for trying to die," wrote Mr Strangio.
When she was removed from solitary confinement in October she tweeted that she was "OK" and "trying to get back in the groove of things".
Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013, after being found guilty of espionage for her role in leaking diplomatic cables and battlefield reports to Wikileaks, the anti-secrecy group.
The leak of more than 700,000 documents and videos was one of the largest breaches of classified material in American history.
Many parents in the country find it difficult to keep up with the amount of homework their children get.
And in order to help them, they've gone back to school to attend special workshops on some of the subjects.
Teachers say the sessions are not for parents who are bad at mathematics or English.
Instead, they are there to help parents understand how the style of teaching has changed since they were at school.
The 22-year-old spent the final two months of last season on loan at the Shrimps where he scored two goals in his seven appearances.

Gawker lost a $140m lawsuit Mr Thiel funded on behalf of former wrestler Hulk Hogan two months ago and faces an uncertain future.
Mr Thiel told the New York Times he funded legal action as a deterrent, rather than for revenge.
Mr Thiel was outed as gay by Gawker's Valleywag blog in 2007.
Gawker chief executive Nick Denton likened Mr Thiel to a "comic-book villain" in an open letter.
Valleywag also ran a number of stories about Facebook, which provided part of Mr Thiel's estimated $2.7bn fortune. Mr Thiel is on the Facebook board.
On Thursday Gawker's Mr Denton said in the letter to Mr Thiel: "This vindictive decade-long campaign is quite out of proportion to the hurt you claim. Your plaintiff's lawyer, Charles Harder, has sued not just the company, but individual journalists... Peter, this is twisted."
"Now you show yourself as a thin-skinned billionaire who, despite all the success and public recognition that a person could dream of, seethes over criticism and plots behind the scenes to tie up his opponents in litigation he can afford better than they."
But Mr Thiel told the New York Times: "It's less about revenge and more about specific deterrence... I saw Gawker pioneer a unique and incredibly damaging way of getting attention by bullying people even when there was no connection with the public interest."
David Folkenflik, a media correspondent for US National Public Radio, said the lawsuit seemed designed to cause the company to collapse.
"The lawsuit... $140m could take it down. It appears as though the lawsuits were designed in such a way to achieve that," Mr Folkenflik told Radio 4's Today programme.
He said certain parts of the lawsuit were dropped because they could have resulted in a payout from Gawker's insurance companies, with the result that Gawker "would have to pay for it out of pocket."
Analysis
Tom Espiner, BBC Business reporter
There's another facet to this story: Mr Thiel is a director of Facebook, and the social network is trying to persuade media organisations to host their content on its platform.
It needs companies to provide content - usually for free - to give people more reasons to visit Facebook, so it can sell advertising.
But news organisations tend to feel quite strongly about freedom of speech - they are generally for it - after all, it is their stock-in-trade, and central to their own business models.
So for Facebook, it might not play too well to the crowd that one of its directors funded a lawsuit against Gawker Media - a move some have interpreted as an attack on free speech.
Facebook has an annual meeting late next month and some investors may be interested to know how it will handle the issue.
However, Mr Thiel is one of its big investors, so any real action against him by Facebook would be very surprising.
Mr Thiel backed a privacy case against Gawker brought by the former professional wrestler Hogan, who won $140m damages after Gawker published a sex tape. Gawker intends to appeal.
The video was put online in 2012 after Hogan, whose given name is Terry Bollea, was secretly filmed having sex with his friend's wife.
Mr Bollea's legal team successfully argued Gawker had violated his privacy and the video was not newsworthy.
Nick Denton was ordered to pay $10m, and the journalist who posted the video and wrote the accompanying article, AJ Daulerio, must pay $100,000.
The closely watched case raised questions about freedom of the press in the digital age.
Fly-half Biggar injured ribs and wing North played on after taking an early blow to the thigh in their 33-7 win over Italy in Rome.
Biggar failed to return after half-time while North played on - and scored a try - in obvious discomfort.
The wing's 60-metre try in the 77th minute was Wales' highlight.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Full-back Leigh Halfpenny's conversion meant Wales scored 30 unanswered points in the second period.
Wales have a six-day turnaround before playing England in Cardiff with the visitors having a day extra to recover from their opening win over France.
"Dan's taken a blow to his ribs, we'll wait for more medical information," said interim coach Rob Howley.
"George took an early bump, and has a haematoma on his thigh.
"We were happy for him to stay on and he showed some mental toughness which is important in games when you come away from home and we were delighted for him to get over the try-line as well."
Wales are hoping to have number eight Taulupe Faletau and lock Luke Charteris available to face England.
Neither player travelled to Rome with Howley confirming they had been working on their fitness in Wales over the weekend.
Biggar's replacement, Sam Davies, played a part in two of Wales' second-half tries.
It was his adventure deep in Wales' own 22 which set up North's score and took Howley's team within touching distance of the tournament's first try bonus point.
"Sam played particularly well, as we know he can," said Howley.

But the coach refused to be drawn on whether Davies had done enough to gain selection for England ahead of Bigger if both players are fit.
"We'll have to see how Dan comes through. Hopefully he and George North will be available for selection," he added.
North believes the faith they showed in themselves paid off in the win.
Wales ended the first round on top of the table after North followed Jonathan Davies and Liam Williams in touching down amid 30 unanswered second-half points.
"We had to fight to the end, every inch, but we're happy with the performance," said North.
"We know they are a passionate team but we backed ourselves and it showed."
After leading the team for the first time since replacing Sam Warburton as captain, lock Alun Wyn Jones was pleased with his side's attitude having trailed 7-3 at the break.
"The first half proved how much of a test it was," said Jones.
"We started slowly but the character showed. We got our foot in the door after the way results have gone.
"We worked a little harder, kept the ball and we came together in the second half."
This is the first reported case of Ebola in Liberia since it was declared free of the disease seven weeks ago.
Deputy health minister Tolbert Nyenswah said tests confirmed that the teenager from Nedowein village, near the international airport, had died of the disease on 28 June.
Officials are investigating how he contracted Ebola, Mr Nyenswah said.
More than 11,000 people have died of the disease since December 2013, the vast majority of them in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
The countries had largely curbed the spread of the disease - but the number of new cases has risen recently, with the start of the rainy season in West Africa.
The news that a 17-year-old has died of Ebola in Liberia is deeply troubling. The country was thought to be free of the deadly virus - no cases had been reported for the past seven weeks, until now.
Officials are urging people not to panic and instead "go about their business as normal". They say they have the situation in hand - the teenager's body was buried safely and surveillance has been stepped up.
But it is not clear how the young man caught the virus and who he may have been in contact with before he died. Liberians must remain vigilant if they are to banish Ebola for good.
Mr Nyenswah told the BBC's Jonathan Paye-Layleh in Monrovia that the authorities were dealing with the situation effectively and there was no need for the public to panic.
"We have said over and over again that there was a possibility that there could be a resurgence of the virus in Liberia," he said. "But our surveillance team, our capacity is very strong.
"The only complication is that the person died before we tested the body as part of our surveillance system."
The number of people quarantined in Nedowein, about 30 miles (48km) from the capital, would be made available later, Mr Nyenswah said.
The authorities were investigating whether the dead man had contracted the disease as a result of travel, he said.
The man's body had been buried safely, in accordance with guidelines to check the spread of Ebola, he added.
He told the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show that launching the Invictus Games was a full-time job but a "great" experience.
Wheelchair basketball and indoor rowing will be among the sports servicemen and women from across the globe compete in at the Games in September.
Prince Harry said he "stole" the idea from a similar event in the US.
The Games will take place at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London between 10 and 14 September.
The point of them is to use the "power of sport" to help injured military members through rehabilitation, Prince Harry said.
He said they would also be a "pathway back into employment" for many in helping them rebuild their lives.
"These guys are a credit to the country," he said.
The prince has been working to bring the event to the UK after seeing something similar in the US - the Warrior Games.
"We decided it was such a wonderful concept, we should steal it, make it bigger, make it better and bring it back home," he said.
Sir Keith Mills, former deputy chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, has helped the prince to organise the Invictus Games.
"This is basically my full-time job at the moment, making sure that we pull this off," Prince Harry said.
"It's been a real struggle actually. Anyone listening out there, I would say if you're going to try and plan something this big in under a year, make sure you've either got Sir Keith Mills with you or don't bother doing it at all. It's been great."
Sports to be featured in the Games include wheelchair basketball, archery, indoor rowing, powerlifting, wheelchair rugby, swimming and sitting volleyball.
There will also be a competitive driving challenge organised by presenting partner Jaguar Land Rover.
Teams from Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Georgia, Iraq, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, the UK and the US have been invited to take part.
Prince Harry pledged to make the Games a regular event.
"We're still trying to work out whether we do it next year or the year after and whether it's going to be within the UK or whether it's going to be abroad," he added.
"But the legacy has already started and if we can use it as a stepping stone for some of these individuals to move on to the Paralympics, great.
"If some of them want to use it as a one-off to get themselves back on the road and then as a stepping stone to employment, then just as good. We will use the Invictus Games for as long as it's needed."
Some 55,000 general tickets have gone on sale for the Games.
There will be further tickets for the closing concert on 14 September with headline act Foo Fighters, Kaiser Chiefs, Ellie Goulding, The Vamps and Rizzle Kicks.
The photos support claims that the Macbook Pro will include a panel above its keyboard that replaces physical function keys with a thin display showing touch-sensitive text and graphics, and a fingerprint sensor.
The images were discovered in an update to the MacOS operating system and first appeared on the MacRumors news site.
Such "accidents" are not uncommon.
In September, Apple tweeted and then deleted a video showing off the iPhone 7's new features ahead of its launch.
Earlier in April, it referred to MacOS on its website two months before officially revealing it was rebranding the software from its earlier name of OS X.
The company's chief executive, Tim Cook, notably promised to "double down on secrecy on products" in 2012 after earlier leaks.
But the company is far from being the only one to have problems with the issue.
In the past two months alone:
Conspiracy theorists have speculated that such leaks could be orchestrated by the manufacturers to boost publicity.
But one expert has doubts that is true.
"The leaks are massively damaging as these companies want to have their 'wow moments' when products are unveiled, and an explosion of media coverage, rather than a more tepid response because the details are known in advance," said Ben Wood from CCS Insight.
"But it seems to have become virtually impossible for any large company to keep new tech products under wraps.
"The only recent time such leaks have worked in a company's favour was when it emerged from China that the iPhone 7 was not going to have a dedicated headphone jack.
"That helped Apple, as it meant people were less shocked and kind of accepted it was going to be the case when it was confirmed."
Apple could not be reached for comment.
On Thursday, the council told its staff that all spending on non-statutory services would be frozen until April.
Chief executive Pat Flaherty confirmed the email, saying he was "not trying to put any extra strain on staff".
Trade union Unison said the freeze "did not come as a shock" and was in talks with the council over the impacts.
He added that there no plans to make any staff redundancies but any existing vacancies would not be filled.
Mr Flaherty said: "If we can't do it then stop - we won't do it. It doesn't mean [staff] do the extra hours to cover it."
The trade union said it was waiting for the results of the risk analysis, which were being made.
Oli Foster-Burnell from Unison said: "You're looking at at various services in libraries, highways.
"So what does it mean if they don't fill a pothole?... Does that mean they will get more claims from motorists? Is that cost going to get any higher?"
Mr Flaherty added that dipping into its £15m of reserves was a last resort to make up the £7m shortfall.
The spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "Councils have worked hard over the past five years to deliver a better deal for local taxpayers, while public satisfaction with services has been maintained.
"Councils are currently sitting on £22bn in reserves and should make funding decisions that reflect the services local people want to see."
Somerset County Council is also expecting to have a further £50m cut out of its budget over the next three years.
Authorities in China have provisionally approved nine more trademarks for the Trump Organization that had previously - and inexplicably - been rejected.
The company now owns the right to use the Chinese version of Mr Trump's name for various products and services.
It comes as the US President fights allegations that his businesses create potential conflicts of interest that may violate the constitution.
Three lawsuits, including one by nearly 200 congressional Democrats, have been filed against Mr Trump because of ethics concerns.
Critics claim the number of approved trademarks has accelerated since Mr Trump entered the White House.
Mr Trump ceded control of his namesake company to his two eldest sons after taking office but retains ownership of the assets. The same goes for his daughter Ivanka Trump, who has a formal White House role as assistant to the president.
Lawmakers sue Trump over foreign payments
A list of Trump's potential conflicts
China has granted formal approval for at least 125 Trump-related copyrights, according to the country's trademark office website.
The Trump Organization now own the rights to products such as golf clubs, restaurants and bars, as well as services for massage parlours and social escorts.
The Trump Organization's lawyer has said the filings are to defend its brand in China given the country's reputation for counterfeiting.
Mr Trump also reportedly applied for trademarks using the name of his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, more than a decade ago.
The Agora centre was opened in Wolverton, Milton Keynes, in 1979, but has fallen into disrepair.
Brickhill Estates wants to turn the site into 90 flats and 25,000 sq ft (2,322 sq m) of retail space.
The proposals have been put on the architect's website for public consultation before a formal planning application is submitted.
Neil Hollingworth, director of Brickhill Estates, said: "People refer to the Agora as the spaceship which landed in the centre of Wolverton.
"It's totally out of character with the rest of the town.
"This plan would rejuvenate and bring forward Wolverton as a town, and provide affordable housing for young people."
But Marie Osbourne, director of Future Wolverton, said while the community was "glad to see a plan to get rid of the Agora" there were concerns their hopes for the Agora might not be met.
Auction house Tajan said the drawing, one of eight the Renaissance artist made of the martyred Saint Sebastian, was an "extraordinary discovery".
The drawing has been authenticated by an expert from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Tajan claims it is the first "new" da Vinci to be discovered in 15 years.
Yet a "lost" painting of Christ as Salvator Mundi (Saviour of the World) was more recently attributed to him in 2011.
According to the New York Times, the sketch came to light when 14 unframed drawings were brought in to Tajan to be valued by Thaddee Prate, its director of old master pictures.
Mr Prate spotted "an interesting 16th Century drawing" within the bundle and sought a second opinion from an art expert in Paris.
The expert recognised the work was by a left-handed artist and also found two smaller scientific drawings on the back of the sheet.
The Metropolitan Museum's expert, Carmen C Bambach, confirmed the work was by da Vinci, who was famously left-handed.
The drawing shows Saint Sebastian tied to a tree, with notes and diagrams about light and shadow on the other side.
According to Dr Bambach, the drawing was made between 1482 and 1485 when da Vinci was working in Milan.

Growth in the world's second largest economy missed its official annual growth target of 7.5% for the first time in 15 years.
But, the annual growth figures still came in higher than market expectations of about 7.2%.
China's economy expanded by 7.3% in the October-to-December period from a year earlier.
That fourth quarter growth was unchanged from the previous three months, but also slightly above economists' expectations.
Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economic research at HSBC said the Chinese economy is proving to be more resilient than expected.
"Although, at 7.3% last quarter, growth isn't as spectacular as over the past decade, it is still among the world's fastest," he told the BBC.
"Especially reassuring is that retail sales and industrial production accelerated in December from the prior year, giving China a bit more momentum heading into the year of the goat."
China's retail sales rose 11.9% last month from a year earlier, while factory output rose 7.9% in the same period. Both economic measures beat forecasts.
Alaistair Chan, economist at Moody's Analytics said the growth figures were helped by the acceleration in factory production, showing that the economy has been able to manage the transition away from its cooling housing market.
Investment in China's once red hot property market slowed to a five-year low of 10.5% in 2014 from a year earlier - the slowest pace since the first half of 2009.
That was almost half the growth of 19.8% in 2013 and also down from an annual rise of 11.9% in the first 11 months of last year.
Mr Neumann of HSBC said more easing by the central bank will likely be needed to guard against the downside risks stemming from a "wobbly real estate market" in 2015.
"More easing will likely be needed in the form of rate cuts and injection of liquidity," he said. "Fortunately, China has the tools to fine-tune growth and I expect officials to make full use of these to make sure that growth doesn't dip below 7% over the course of this year."
In November, the country's central bank did unexpectedly cut interest rates to 2.75% for first time since 2012 in an attempt to revive the economy.
While there is still reason for the government to maintain an easing basis, economists said that policymakers will likely take the growth data as a positive and not change stimulus plans straight away.
"More stimulus measures may be coming up, but it's unlikely that the continuous fiscal and investment plans of the previous administration are in the works," said Tony Nash, global vice president of Delta Economics.
Meanwhile, Asian markets reacted positively to the Chinese economic data with both the Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng index closing higher by 1.8% and 0.9%, respectively.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also welcomed slowing growth in China with its chief economist Olivier Blanchard saying that it showed that the country's government was trying to rebalance the economy.
The comments were made after the IMF lowered its forecast for global economic growth for this year and 2016.
The actor passed away at a Tokyo hospital on 10 November, his office said on Tuesday.
Known as the "Clint Eastwood" of Japan, Takakura was renowned for his brooding style and stoic roles in several Japanese yakuza and action movies.
He also starred as a tough Japanese police officer alongside US actor Michael Douglas in the 1989 Ridley Scott film "Black Rain".
Among his well-known films were "The Yellow Handkerchief" and "Poppoya" (The Railway Man), for which he won the best actor prize at the Montreal World Film Festival.
Takakura also went on to play a lead role in Chinese director Zhang Yimou's 2005 film "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles".
In Japan, national broadcaster NHK opened its news programme at noon with the news of Takakura's death. The Asahi Shimbun, a major daily, tweeted condolences and called him "one of Japan's greatest actors".
Online, there was an outpouring of grief as fans took to social media to pay tribute to "Ken-san".
Japanese actor Takashi Sasano said on Twitter that his dream of acting with Takakura would now "never come true".
Tadanobu Asano, best known for his roles in Electric Dragon 80.000 V and Marvel action movie Thor, tweeted: "Rest in peace. This makes me so sad. Thank you so much."
Other people referred online to Takakura's appearance in a 1984 TV commercial for life insurance in which he famously declared: "I'm an awkward guy."
Many Japanese tweets quoted that phrase, while The Mainichi Shimbun, another daily, immediately carried a piece with the phrase "awkward guy" in the title.
The paper said Takakura represented the self-denying stoicism and generosity of spirit which resonated with Japanese audiences.
Janice McAleese ran the organisation from 2003 to 2007, resigning shortly before serious financial problems came to light.
The NI Audit Office has previously described her conduct as the worst it has seen from a senior public official.
The maximum period that someone can be banned from directorship is 15 years.
An audit report found Ms McAleese was involved in fabricating documents provided to a government department and her board of directors.
She also failed to disclose a personal relationship with a contractor who was paid £120,000 for a motocross bike event in Moneyglass, County Antrim.
The rally, in St Peter Port, was held ahead of a States meeting on Wednesday where members will be asked about taking court action.
About 1,000 people including the NASUWT, the NUT and Unite unions took part in the march from Candie Gardens at 11:30 BST to St James Concert Hall.
The proposals include increasing the pension age from 65 to 67.
Three and a half years of negotiations have failed to achieve a solution under a States effort to move employees from a final salary pension to a career average scheme.
Martin MacIntyre, from the Association of States Employees Organisations, said: "We want to get the message out to the public as to what is going on here and the misconceptions that have been portrayed.
"Ultimately we want to get the message to the 47 people who are going to be voting on this," he said.
Deputy Chief Minister Allister Langlois said it was a "terrible shame" islanders had been inconvenienced.
Later this month, the States will decide on whether to release funding of up to £500,000 to be spent in pursuing a legal resolution to the deadlock.
A Guernsey Police spokesman said 10 police officers were deployed for the march.
Flight MH128, bound for Kuala Lumpur, returned to Melbourne on Wednesday after passenger Manodh Marks tried to enter the cockpit, police allege.
Authorities said the Sri Lankan man was revealed not to be carrying explosives and it was not a terrorism incident.
He felt "vulnerable" in custody and needed medical help, a court heard.
Mr Marks, who has been living in Australia on student visa, is accused of endangering the safety of an aircraft and making threats or false statements.
He had requested to see a mental health nurse and held concerns for his safety due to his "age and appearance", the Melbourne Magistrates' Court heard on Thursday.
Victoria Police said the device he was carrying was a "speaker-type" object, not an explosive.
Witnesses have described how passengers tackled the suspect and "immobilised him" after he allegedly made a bomb threat.
Meanwhile, authorities were under pressure to explain the time it took for armed police to board the plane and arrest Mr Marks after it landed at Melbourne airport.
According to local media, the 337 passengers and crew were forced to wait for up to 90 minutes.
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said police had initially treated the situation as a possible terrorism incident, before deciding it was "a case involving a mental health issue".
"I certainly appreciate when you are on a plane in that situation one minute could seem like an hour," he said.
"The objective in any serious incident like this is to get every member of the crew, every passenger off the plane safely, and that is what was able to be achieved."
Police said that Mr Marks was released from a psychiatric facility on the day of the incident.
He did not apply for bail.
The acrobat also broke her arm and briefly lost consciousness, her mother told a Brisbane radio station.
Skinner was performing during the Kooza show at Brisbane's Skygate venue.
"It will take six to 12 weeks to heal, but her arms and legs work, which is the main thing," Anne Skinner said.
She was speaking to radio station River 94.9.
A spokesperson for the Cirque du Soleil show said: "A Kooza performer, Lisa Skinner, was injured during a performance in Brisbane on Sunday afternoon.
"She was transported to a local hospital, where she is receiving the medical care she needs. We are happy to report that Lisa is currently stable and in good condition.
"At this time, our priority is on supporting Lisa and her family so they can focus on her recovery. The thoughts and love from the cast and crew of Kooza are with her."
Skinner, who has toured previously with Cirque du Soleil, was a member of the Australian gymnastics team in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics.
She won gold at the 1998 Commonwealth Games.
Sunday's performance was halted while Skinner was taken to hospital but the show later resumed.

The boys mother recently reported that his bicycle had been taken from the communal area in their apartments.
Adee, who has Aspergers Syndrome, is a keen cyclist and his bicycle was one of his most prized possessions.
After hearing about the incident, officers from Lisburn and Castlereagh, bought him a new bike.
On Wednesday evening, police asked Adee to come to Dundonald police station for a chat.
He arrived at the station with his mum and dad, and was asked by one of the officers to close his eyes.
The officer brought out the gift, which he then took on a test ride around the station.
According to PSNI Castlereagh's Facebook page, Adee is "a very happy boy again".
As the search for Adee's first bicycle continues, police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. | England captain Dylan Hartley has defended team-mate Dan Cole after Australia coach Michael Cheika accused the prop of scrummaging illegally.

The case is being brought by law firm Leigh Day on behalf of the GMB union.
It argues Uber does not currently ensure its drivers are paid the minimum wage or that they receive paid holiday.
It says Uber does not provide its drivers with the rights normally afforded to employees, claiming instead that they are "partners".
Uber operates a car hire smartphone app that connects passengers to drivers.
Using the app, passengers can request to be picked up from any location within London, or 300 other cities worldwide.
Passengers pay Uber for the journey, and it then passes on a percentage of that payment to the driver.
But Leigh Day's lawyers claim Uber's contract terms breach of UK employment law.
They also argue there are serious health and safety issues.
They alleged Uber does not ensure its drivers take rest breaks or work a maximum number of hours per week.
They argue this provides a substantial risk to all road users given that, according to Uber's chief executive, there will be 42,000 Uber drivers in London in 2016.
Leigh Day added there had been reports of drivers being suspended or deactivated by Uber after having made complaints about unlawful treatment, without being given any opportunity to challenge the claims.
The law requires that workers should not be denied the right to work for raising such issues.
A successful legal action against Uber could see substantial pay outs for drivers, including compensation for past failures by the company to make appropriate payments to what lawyers argue are their workers.
Nigel Mackay a lawyer in the employment team at Leigh Day said: "Uber not only pays the drivers but it also effectively controls how much passengers are charged and requires drivers to follow particular routes. As well as this, it uses a ratings system to assess drivers' performance.
"We believe that it's clear from the way Uber operates that it owes the same responsibilities towards its drivers as any other employer does to its workers. In particular, its drivers should not be denied the right to minimum wage and paid leave."
The case is the first to be brought against San Francisco based firm in the UK although it has face legal action elsewhere around the world.
Last week taxi drivers in Canada's biggest city, Toronto, became the latest group to own legal proceedings against Uber.
The drivers are seeking C$400m (£198m) in damages and an injunction to stop the taxi-booking app from operating in the province of Ontario.
The action alleges that services like Uber X and Uber XL have created an "enormous marketplace" for illegal transportation in the city.
Taxi drivers in London have staged a number of protests over the company's operations. Last month, they launched a campaign to highlight their struggle with it.
Meanwhile, France has seen riots in response to Uber-Pop a subsidiary of Uber which allows unlicensed and untrained drivers to offer journeys to potential customers in their own cars.
Last year an Indian court granted Massimiliano Latorre a period of leave in Italy after he had heart surgery.
He was supposed to return to India by Friday, reports said.
Latorre and fellow marine Salvatore Girone are facing murder charges - the two are on bail pending trial.
"Massimiliano Latorre will not return to India, and furthermore, the possibility of asking for Salvatore Girone's return is being explored," said Nicola Latorre, president of the Senate Defence Committee, according to Italian media.
The Italian prime minister's office and the foreign ministry did not confirm or deny the senator's comments when contacted by Reuters.
The marines were guarding an Italian oil tanker when they opened fire, killing two men off the Kerala coast. The marines said they mistook the fishermen for pirates.
India has ruled out the possibility of a death penalty and of invoking the anti-piracy law to try the marines.
Italy has always insisted that as the shooting took place in international waters, the men should be tried in Italy.
In 2014, Delhi and Rome were involved in a bitter diplomatic row after Italy refused to send the marines back when they were allowed to go home to vote in the February 2013 elections.
The marines eventually returned to Delhi a month later.
Poole, 17, made his debut for Manchester United in their 5-1 Europa League victory over Midtjylland.
He joined United in September, after just 17 appearances for Newport County, who signed him when he was released by Cardiff City's academy in 2012.
Slade was not in charge when Poole left but said: "You don't want to be losing that type of quality."
The former Leyton Orient boss added: "Occasionally one does get away because young players develop at different rates.
"But clearly a decision was made at that particular time and they got it wrong."
Wales under-17 international Poole joined the youth ranks at Newport and was fast-tracked to a first-team debut against Shrewsbury in September 2014 aged just 16 years and 94 days.
Poole joined Manchester United for an undisclosed fee, believed to be an initial £100,000 which could rise to £400,000.
"I cannot control what has happened in the past, before my time," said Slade.
"But, certainly, if I had been here as manager at the time - obviously the personnel has changed at that level since then as well - you would be wanting to know the reasons why it actually materialised a player in three or four years time has gone and come on as sub for Manchester United."
Meanwhile, Cardiff captain David Marshall is in line for his 250th league appearance for the club in Saturday's Championship home game with Preston North End.
Owner Vincent Tan recently said the club had turned down £6m for the Scottish international, with West Bromwich Albion and Everton linked.
And Slade is expecting more interest in 30-year-old Marshall this summer.
"It would not surprise me at all if there were one or two clubs who came seeking his services. He is a top, top keeper," added Slade.
"He's in a small group of people - and I think that is a big compliment - who are ultra professional, with a terrific attitude."
The Bluebirds have one or two slight injury worries ahead of their clash with in-form Preston and will be looking to recover from Tuesday's 3-1 defeat at Middlesbrough.
"It was a setback on Tuesday, it was a difficult, tough game but we made mistakes and got punished for them," said Slade.
"We have to learn from them quickly and ensure we get back to a similar performance we had in the last home game against Brighton."
Cardiff expect defender Sean Morrison and winger Craig Noone to be available after injury for the Severnside derby against Bristol City on 5 March.
From Monday, only buses and cyclists will be allowed at Bank Junction from 07:00 to 19:00.
City of London Corporation say the scheme will see a 50-60% reduction in casualties and improved air quality.
The changes were voted through by the Corporation after 34 cyclists and 31 pedestrians were injured there between 2011 and 2015.
In 2015, Ying Tao, a 26-year-old female cyclist, was killed when she was hit by a lorry turning at the junction.
Following her death a protest was held at the junction, and months later more than 13,000 people signed a petition calling for lorries to be banned during rush-hour.
During the 18-month trial, vehicles will be rerouted around the junction and it will be enforced with automatic number plate recognition cameras.
New taxi ranks have been added and existing ones extended.
It meant two alleged perpetrators died before they could be prosecuted.
West Midlands Police upheld a complaint made by the victim, who has asked to be called Sarah, and apologised. It said at least one would have been charged.
The victim said the abuse at homes in Coventry in the 1980s was "horrendous", but added she was encouraged by the change in police investigations.
More on this story and others from Coventry
Two care workers were jailed in February following a subsequent police investigation.
Alan Todd and Kenneth Owen, both 70, worked at Wisteria Lodge, which was run by Coventry City Council, during the 1980s.
Sarah, who described herself as having been a "challenging child", was a resident at Wisteria Lodge and was physically and mentally abused by the men.
She spent time at other homes in the city in the 1980s, and told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire she had been abused by two other care workers, both whom are now dead. She said one of the workers had raped her.
After breaking down in 1999 and confessing to her mother what had happened, Sarah went to police.
But after no action was taken, she went back in 2012 and lodged a second complaint.
The force has now upheld that complaint and admitted several flaws in its original investigation.
In a written report from its professional standards department to Sarah, who has shared it with the BBC, the force said it had been "poorly managed and poorly supervised". It said if named witnesses had been traced, the likelihood of a prosecution against one or both of the now-deceased suspects "may have been more positive".
The investigating officer failed to record all inquiries he made and there was a lack of oversight from his senior officers, the report said.
Sarah was not fully believed and the officer's judgement "appeared cloudy", the professional standards inquiry found.
As a result of her 2012 complaint, West Midlands Police reopened a criminal investigation into abuse at Wisteria Lodge, which led to other victims coming forward and the subsequent convictions of Todd and Owen.
"It was horrendous," Sarah said of the abuse. "I was 12 years old... [I thought], 'how are they getting away with this'? 'Why aren't other people stopping this'?"
Detectives are also now investigating several people who have worked in a professional capacity with children, including at residential children's homes managed by Coventry City Council.
West Midlands Police said this latest inquiry was being managed by specialist staff within a sexual offences team. The force said it would not comment further at this stage.
The council is starting its own internal inquiry and has asked the local safeguarding board to carry out a review.
John Gregg, director of children's services, said he wanted to apologise to victims and reassure them things had changed.
"Given the severity of what's taken place, there's very little I can say that wouldn't sound hollow.
"I recognise the failings that have taken place and, as a council, we are committed to righting those wrongs."
Sarah said she wanted to praise police and the changes they had made to the way they investigate abuse claims.
"I think they have been open and transparent and they've looked at themselves."
The 59-year-old Scotland assistant boss leaves his second stint at Fir Park with the club 10th in the Premiership.
Motherwell have won just two of their past 13 league games and lost 5-1 at home to Dundee on Saturday.
Coach Stephen Robinson will take temporary charge, with help from assistant James McFadden and under-20s boss Stephen Craigan.
A statement from the club said the decision was "taken by the board following consultation with the [fans' group] 'Well Society... after a disappointing run of results".
Fir Park skipper Keith Lasley says the players are now focused on escaping relegation trouble, but revealed the dressing room was a sombre place when news of the sacking filtered through.
"It's a massive disappointment, we feel as a group that we let the manager down," Lasley said.
"From the players' point of view we still believed he was the man that could turn things around."
Former Aberdeen, Celtic and Newcastle striker McGhee first managed Motherwell from 2007 to 2009, steering the club into Europe in his debut season with a third-place finish in the top flight.
He returned in October 2015, after unsuccessful periods at Aberdeen and Bristol Rovers, and took 'Well from 11th to a fifth-place finish.
Saturday's heavy loss to Dundee was the club's fourth consecutive defeat, a run that included a 7-2 thumping at Aberdeen.
'Well are three points above bottom club Hamilton and six points behind sixth-placed Dundee.
McGhee, who has also managed Reading, Leicester, Wolves, Millwall and Brighton, was the target of a fans' protest at the weekend and admitted he was under pressure.
He is due to face a Scottish Football Association disciplinary hearing on 16 March following his dismissal during the defeat at Pittodrie.
McGhee, who served a touchline ban in December, is accused of using "offensive, abusing and/or insulting language and gestures" towards a match official and "adopting aggressive behaviour towards an official".
Robinson, 42, returned to the Motherwell coaching staff last week.
The former Northern Ireland assistant was sacked as Oldham boss in January, having taken over at Boundary Park in the summer.
He first joined 'Well in early 2015, serving under Ian Baraclough then McGhee, and has asked for a reaction from the Fir Park players.

"There's obviously a lot of love for Mark at the club, he was here a long time, but the players are paid to play football and ultimately they get another chance when sometimes managers don't, so they have to pick themselves up," Robinson told BBC Scotland.
"We've conceded a lot of goals and we have to try to stop that. If you don't do the basics right, which we didn't do on Saturday and possibly haven't done in the last lot of weeks, then it doesn't matter who sits in the hotseat - you have to win headers, you have to win tackles and show a desire to play for the football club.
"It's a situation that we can most definitely get out of. We're a couple of wins away from being a top six side."
Boro sealed their return to the top flight after a seven-year absence on goal difference after Saturday's draw with promotion rivals Brighton.
Now, like the Cherries and the Hornets, Karanka wants to keep them there.
"It's my following aim. I said when I arrived, Middlesbrough are a Premier League team," said Karanka.
"Now we're going to work harder to stay in there like good examples such as Watford or Bournemouth."
There have been some gloomy times on Teesside since Boro last played in the top tier.
But under Karanka the old buzz, that saw the club win the League Cup in 2004 and reach the Uefa Cup final two years later, has filtered back.
Major job losses at the local steel plant in Redcar and the death of a favourite in BBC Tees commentator Ali Brownlee - whose name was chanted throughout and at the end of the game - hit the town hard but the football club has provided a relief.
The plight of the workers and Brownlee's loss also had an impact on Karanka and his players.
"I know what a difficult moment they [the steelworkers] are living and this moment is really nice for them, and the other was our friend Ali," he said.
"He was supporting us, he's been supporting us since his last day and he supported me since I arrived here.
"For me it means more to the fans. The people of this area deserve to enjoy it, for them to have a team and a club where everyone is so proud."
Steve Gibson, long-time chairman and fan of the Teesside club, played a key role in bringing Karanka to the Riverside and in turn in keeping him there.
His financing of the Boro squad has been a pivotal factor in their success, trusting big money to the Spaniard to sign players including forwards Jordan Rhodes, David Nugent and Cristhian Stuani, as well as Gaston Ramirez on loan from Southampton.
It was also Gibson who persuaded Karanka back to the club after a reported fall out earlier in the season, prompting genuine gratitude from the Boro head coach.
"I say thanks to the chairman for giving the opportunity to come here when I didn't have experience," Karanka added.
"I am looking forward to giving him a really big hug like he deserves."
One of the pivots for Middlesbrough during their promotion campaign has been captain Grant Leadbitter, a County Durham lad who along with Adam Clayton has been the anchor to a steely midfield and watertight defence.
The skipper got his hands on silverware as Boro celebrated before the Riverside faithful, and later revealed he had been playing with injections before a hernia operation which will take place next week.
"Grant is the character of this team," Karanka said. "He's the captain and nobody knows how much he has suffered to play the last three or four weeks with a lot of pain.
"He has character, players like him and follow him. That is why we're in the Premier League."
Promotion is the culmination of two and a half successful years at the Riverside for the Spaniard, who picked up the reins from club legend Tony Mowbray and created his own place in Boro folklore.
"I couldn't sleep the last however many days, so today is a good day to enjoy and say how proud I am being here with these players and this crowd," said Karanka.
"Tomorrow we are going to disappear [as a family]! I don't know where, I need a lot of time to rest because the last two and a half years have been tough with changing everything.
"We have two months until pre-season so first I'm going to enjoy this with my family like they deserve."

Brighton were unable to pick up the win they needed in front of 2,570 travelling fans at the Riverside, despite Dale Stephens' header cancelling out Stuani's opener.
However, the midfielder's dismissal for a foul on Gaston Ramirez shortly after left the Seagulls down to 10 men and unable to press Boro as they might have wished, leaving them to battle it out in the Championship play-offs.
"I'm very proud of a group of players that were able to put the performance in here," manager Chris Hughton said.
"We absolutely know we don't have time to be too down about it.
"It's a distraught changing room and you want them to feel that way because you know what it means to them."
Sheffield Wednesday provide the opposition in the play-off semi-finals, with the home leg at the Amex Stadium a week on Monday following Friday's trip to Hillsborough.
"We've got to make sure we take a respectable scoreline back to the Amex because Sheffield Wednesday are a very good team," Hughton added. "They've got good momentum at the moment and get big crowds.
"It's a formidable place to go so we need to take a good result back. Whichever way we'll have a wonderful atmosphere at the Amex and that will help."
Alsop, 20, struck 117 not out on the second day of Hampshire's Division One match against Surrey at The Oval.
"I want to dedicate my century to Michael," he told BBC Radio Solent. "He helped me a lot through the academy.
"I would like to thank him for everything he has done to help my game. Everyone is with him."
Left-hander Alsop continued: "I've gone to him for all types of advice, things about batting mostly, and we're good friends off the field.
"To see what he has gone through has been pretty tough for everyone, on him and the club.
"I would like to thank him for everything he has done to help my game. Everyone is with him."
Opener Carberry, 35, played the last of his six Tests for England in January 2014 and last played for Hampshire in a T20 match on 8 July - six days before his diagnosis.

Briton Groves beat Gutknecht on points in December and the German was taken to hospital with a bleed on the brain.
Gutknecht's wife Julia revealed in April that the 34-year-old was not able to walk or talk.
"Selfishly, while I'm still fighting I'm always going to struggle with his situation," Groves told 5 live boxing.
"It's a horrible thing. I struggle with it, my wife struggles with it."
In her interview in Germany, Gutknecht's wife said he had made "little progress" and had also had "several strokes".
She explained the right hemisphere of his brain - which controls the left side of the body - is "almost completely damaged" and she also highlighted her battle to finance home care.
Groves, who visited Gutknecht in hospital, said he had not seen him since the German left the UK.
"It's very distressing," the 29-year-old said. "We don't know if his situation will deteriorate or if anything will happen.
"We feel for him, his wife, kids and family. It's horrible."
London-born Groves has not fought since that bout but will go for his first world title when he meets Russian Fedor Chudinov at Bramall Lane in Sheffield on 27 May.
The contest is part of the undercard as Britain's Kell Brook, who is from Sheffield, defends his IBF world welterweight title against American Errol Spence Jr and will be Groves' fourth attempt at winning a world crown.
The incident happened at the offices of Public Initiative For Prevention of Suicide and Self Harm (PIPS) on the Antrim Road some time between 21:00 BST on Friday and 10:00 on Saturday.
Brian Maguire, the charity's chief executive, said three windows at the premises had been smashed.
People responded to an appeal on social media to help with a clear-up, he said.
"It has been quite upsetting for us and our volunteers," he added.
"We have some very vulnerable clients that come to us and our main mission this morning was getting our building sorted for our clients coming at two o'clock and that's what we have done."
He said he did not believe at anything had been taken.
Private cars with even and odd number plates are being allowed on alternate days from Friday in an initial two-week trial.
Emergency vehicles like ambulances, police cars, fire engines and taxis have been exempted from the order.
Delhi has experienced hazardous levels of pollution this winter.
The local government announced the scheme after a court ordered authorities to tackle pollution levels more than 10 times the World Health Organisation's safe limits.
How will Delhi's 'odd-even' car rationing work?
The government has made several exemptions to make it easier for people to follow the restrictions. The plan will be imposed between 8am and 8pm from Monday to Saturday.
Women will be allowed to drive their cars on all days but they can only be accompanied by women, and children below the age of 12. Cars carrying disabled people will also be allowed on all days.
Along with two wheelers, cars operating on natural gas have been exempted. In cases of medical emergency, people will not be stopped from taking patients to hospitals.
The government has hired around 3,000 private buses to provide shuttle services into the city from residential areas to ease the extra pressure on the public transport network.
Schools have been also shut until the trial ends on 15 January so that their buses can be used as public transport.
The government has launched an app that people can use to book tuk-tuks to improve last-mile connectivity from the Metro stations.
Traffic policemen and several thousand volunteers will check cars at intersections and violators will be fined 2,000 rupees ($30; £20) and asked to return.
"The biggest challenge is to make people realise that this fight against pollution is for them, for their health, for their own good," Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai told AFP news agency.
Critics, however, say the plan is not practical - they say that in a city with an inadequate public transport system and poor last-mile connectivity, the new measures are likely to inconvenience commuters.
"Let's not convince ourselves wrongly that a simple odd-even policy will solve the overall air pollution issue," AFP quoted Arunabha Ghosh, head of the Delhi-based Council on Energy, Environment and Water, as saying.
"Otherwise, we will be simply kicking the can down the road and we will create a feeling of distrust among citizens and the government machinery."
Delhi resident Pankaj Mehta, who drives 45km (30 miles) to work daily, told AFP that the restrictions would make commuting difficult.
"Rickshaw, then metro, then feeder bus, then walk - back and forth. A travel nightmare," he said.
"But if it makes breathing easier, then it may be worth it."
Environmental activists have welcomed the decision, saying the situation is so grim that urgent drastic steps are needed.
New car sales are soaring in India, with 1,400 extra cars taking to the capital's streets every day.
The animal became agitated with people hooting their horns and taking selfies, a wildlife official said.
The lion has returned to the park and the 63-year-old man is in hospital, Paul Udoto, spokesman for the Kenya Wildlife Service said.
The city was put on high alert last month after several lions escaped from the park, causing panic.
A video circulating on social media appears to show the lion wandering along a busy road during morning rush hour.
Rangers are still on the streets of the city in case there are other lions around that have not been spotted, Mr Udoto added.
The park is separated by a main road from densely populated neighbourhoods, including Kibera slum, in the south of the city.
A loss of habitat for lions in the city means they are increasingly coming into conflict with human populations, putting their survival at risk, Kenyan conservationist Ali Kaka told the BBC.
"If there is no prey or there isn't enough prey in the park the animals may decide to wander out," he added.
Nairobi National Park is fenced in on the city side but is open elsewhere to allow for the annual wildlife migration.
In 2012, four cubs had to be placed in an orphanage after a similar incident led to their mother being killed.
Advice from conservationist Ali Kaka
Ibrar Ali, from Selby, North Yorkshire, was injured by a road-side bomb in Iraq and lost his lower right arm, but re-trained and returned to active service.
He was part of the Walking with the Wounded trip which trekked to the South Pole with Prince Harry in 2013.
The seven-day challenge finished on Manly beach, Sydney, Australia.
The endeavour had started on 23 January in Antarctica.
Mr Ali, originally from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, who left the Army in 2013, finished alongside RAF veteran Luke Wigman.
Mr Ali finished the challenge with a final four-hour marathon as the sun was rising over Manly beach, he wrote on social media.
"All the support from family and friends has kept us moving when our bodies really wanted to give up", he said.
Mr Ali added: "For Luke and I to complete this shows that rehab works but it needs to be better. That's why I did this crazy challenge - to get word out about the DNRC for current and future servicemen and women."
The challenge involved 295km of running and 59 hours of flight time.
Marathon locations
Money raised through the challenge is to help fund the Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre, being built near Loughborough that is to open in 2018.
The incident happened on Broomhouse Street North at about 18:15 on Wednesday.
Detectives said there was a disturbance involving a group of men, some inside the vehicle and some on the road.
One man was seen to pursue a small black car and hit it with a pole or similar object, causing some damage.
Officers are urging anyone with information to get in contact.
Det Insp Roddy Hardy, of Police Scotland, said: ""We believe this was a disturbance involving a group of males, some inside the car and some on the road, and we are keen to establish their identities.
"We are especially keen to speak to the man who chased the vehicle as he may know the identities of those involved and assist us to trace them.
"Anyone who witnessed this disturbance of who has information that can help us trace the individuals involved is asked to contact police on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
The OU says affected staff would need to relocate, or take voluntary redundancy or early retirement.
The OU says services to students will not be reduced or withdrawn and the institution remains committed to operating across the whole of the UK.
But unions described the plans as catastrophic and warned that 500 jobs across the seven centres were at risk.
Under the proposals, OU offices in Bristol, Birmingham, Cambridge, Gateshead, Leeds, London and Oxford would close.
The university said these were not offices that were used predominantly as teaching centres.
The new structure would see existing offices in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Milton Keynes, Manchester and Nottingham retained, as well as a small sub-office in Dublin.
The OU said the centres in Milton Keynes, Manchester and Nottingham would expand, allowing them to give greater investment in student support and "deliver improvements that are not possible in the current configuration of 13 offices".
"These improvements include quicker response times, more proactive support to those students who need help during their studies and longer opening hours," a statement from the university said.
"The larger centres will help us provide seamless support for students from first contact through to completion of studies."
The OU says the new structure will be in place by February 2017 at the earliest.
A final decision will be made by the university's council in late November. If approved, a period of consultation with unions will follow.
Peter Horrocks, vice-chancellor of the OU, said students' experience of the university had not been limited by geography for some time.
"This is a difficult decision and I fully recognise the impact it will have on many of our staff, but we cannot afford to stay still.
"This recommendation, if approved, would allow us to enhance student support in a way that's simply not possible in our current office network, and offer our students the sort of support they expect and deserve."
But the University and College Union (UCU) warned that thousands of current and future students could be affected by the move, which could see the removal of services, such as careers counselling, study advice and support for disabled students.
OU UCU branch president Pauline Collins said the OU was respected all over the world for the way it brought quality higher education to a wide range of people.
"At the core of that mission are its dedicated regional staff who provide essential support to thousands of students and their tutors.
"Axing almost 500 staff across seven centres would be catastrophic and decimate the Open University's ability to provide the kind of local support that students need.
"We are unconvinced by the university's talk of staff relocating, especially as this will mean hours spent in the car or on the train just trying to get to and from work."
The OU has almost 200,000 students, with many combining their study with employment and other commitments.
"It will cost... it will obviously cost a lot to do so, we accept that," he said, before agreeing with host Emma Barnett that the figure was £5.3bn.
The stumble came as the Labour leader and Theresa May resumed election campaigning following a live TV debate.
Mrs May has argued she is the only one who can offer "strong leadership".
In other election news:
It was during his interview with Woman's Hour that Mr Corbyn had to be told by interviewer Emma Barnett the cost of his party's manifesto proposal to extend 30 hours a week of free childcare to all two-year-olds - a policy which is part of Labour's plans for a National Education Service.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said that Mr Corbyn's performances had been getting better during the election campaign, so it was "astonishing he was not across the figures for the childcare policy" his party was campaigning on today.
The childcare part of the interview began with Mr Corbyn being asked whether he had the figure for its cost and replying: "Yes, I do."
Pressed to give the number, he said: "I'll give you the figure in a moment."
"You don't know it? You're logging into your iPad here - you've announced a major policy and you don't know how much it will cost?" presenter Emma Barnett said.
"Can I give you the exact figure in a moment, please?" the Labour leader said.
Asked whether this indicated that voters should not trust Labour with their money, he answered: "Not at all."
He argued that investing in children in early years meant they did better in school and added: "I want to give you an accurate figure."
Eventually, Ms Barnett quoted shadow education secretary Angela Rayner, who was on BBC Radio 4's Today programme earlier: "£2.7bn, then £4.8bn... with half a billion to reverse cuts to the Sure Start scheme. Does that sound about right?"
"It does sound correct," Mr Corbyn said.

This was on a par, or possibly even worse, than Diane Abbott getting into a pickle on the cost of Labour's policing pledges.
That's not just because Jeremy Corbyn is the party leader, but also because childcare is an absolutely key pledge, he's campaigning on it today - and he was clearly struggling badly for the numbers.
When you get the leader struggling to say how much a core Labour policy is going to cost it sparks questions about how clear, how thorough, how credible its spending plans are.
During a later event in Watford, Mr Corbyn apologised for failing to recall the cost of his party's childcare policy.
"I didn't have the exact figure in front of me, so I was unable to answer that question, for which obviously I apologise," he said, adding that it was "unacceptable" that Ms Barnett had reportedly been subject to abuse on social media for her grilling of the Labour leader.
The Labour leader has put the creation of a "national education service" at the heart of his party's election campaign.
The extension of childcare would benefit more than 1.3 million children - at the moment only 40% of two-year-olds qualify, according to Labour.
Labour's shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner defended Mr Corbyn's stumble over the cost of his party's childcare policy, telling BBC2's Daily Politics: "It wasn't that the figure wasn't there. It wasn't the figure hadn't been costed. Look this is a rapid fire general election campaign in which people, politicians are under spotlight."
During the Woman's Hour interview, Emma Barnett also asked Mr Corbyn about Labour's manifesto pledge to renew Trident, despite CND's website saying that he was still vice president.
The Labour leader, who voted against the renewal of Trident, said he was a member of CND, but added: "I don't think I'm vice president".
For the Conservatives, International Development Secretary Priti Patel said Mr Corbyn's "chaotic radio interview with Emma Barnett" showed the British people "why he is simply not up to the job of being the prime minister".
Mr Corbyn was interviewed on the One Show on Tuesday evening, where he said the prospect of becoming prime minister did not fill him with fear but "hope of what we can do and what we can change in this country".
He also made a joking reference to strife within the party, saying 10-year-olds were easier to control than Labour MPs.
The interviews followed a high-profile grilling in a Channel 4/Sky News TV special on Monday when Mr Corbyn, and Conservative leader Theresa May, faced questions on range of subjects, including Brexit and foreign policy, from a live studio audience in the special general election programme on Monday night.
Mr Corbyn was quizzed about his views on drone strikes, tax-raising plans and past campaigning in Northern Ireland.
Mrs May was questioned about social care reforms and was repeatedly asked if she had changed her mind on Brexit.
But the leaders did not appear together, as Mrs May declined to take part in a head-to-head encounter.

The deal in principle is expected to be concluded on 25 March.
It would see its Galashiels depot, Peebles, Hawick and Kelso outstations and all staff transfer to West Coast Motors.
First Scotland East managing director Paul McGowan said they would fully support the workers affected.
"Despite the focus on services and the hard work of everyone across our business, unfortunately the introduction of the Borders Railway in 2015 has impacted demand for bus travel and our services are becoming increasingly unsustainable," he said.
"I'm pleased we have an agreement in principle to sell the operations to West Coast Motors, a reliable and well-established transport company.
"I'm confident their experience operating in rural areas will be of great benefit to the business."
West Coast Motors runs a network of bus and tour operations across Scotland and the north of England, including Perryman's Buses in the Borders.
"The proposed sale does not, in any way, reflect the commitment of our employees in the area who have worked tirelessly to provide the best possible service to local communities," added Mr McGowan.
"I'd like to thank them for their hard work and loyalty over the years.
"We will be fully supporting them throughout this process."
He thanked passengers for using their services and said they would "continue to run services as normal" throughout the proposed deal.
A spokesperson for West Coast Motors said it would be inappropriate to comment while talks on the deal were ongoing.
Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire MSP John Lamont said the announcement was "hugely concerning news, which puts the whole transport system in the Borders at risk".
He said the impact on jobs and existing routes was "unclear".
"While I understand there will be no immediate changes, it will be open to the new operator to reduce services after a relatively short time," he said.
"This would be a huge blow to many people who rely on bus routes."
Fellow MSP Christine Grahame who represents Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale said she was seeking urgent talks with the new owners.
"The absolute priority must be maintaining continuity of service for all the communities First currently serves and the 113 local jobs it provides," she said.
"I will be monitoring this situation very carefully indeed as it develops."
Three men went to a house at Lurgan Road, Magheralin, on Tuesday at about 20:45 BST.
They demanded money and assaulted the man, then threw him into the car boot and drove off.
They abandoned the car near Moira and the victim was freed.
Police said it was a traumatic experience for the man who was left extremely shocked by what had happened.
They appealed to anyone who saw a blue Mazda and a silver Vauxhall car in Magheralin on Tuesday night to contact them.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon accused Tory counterpart Ruth Davidson of "talking so much about independence that I can't get a word in edgeways about it".
But Ms Davidson hit back by telling Ms Sturgeon: "The country said 'No' and you won't listen to them."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said people "want to move on" from the referendum.
The televised debate, which was hosted by the BBC's Sarah Smith in front of a live audience, also featured Willie Rennie of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, Scottish Green Party co-convener Patrick Harvie and UKIP's David Coburn.
Ms Sturgeon opened the debate by arguing that only her party could protect Scotland from an "extreme Brexit".
And she said that supporting the SNP would "protect Scotland's right to make our own decisions" with regard to an independence referendum.
The first minister was followed by Ms Davidson, who told Ms Sturgeon that she should: "Fix our schools, don't split up our country. Champion our businesses, don't put a border at Berwick."
She added: "At this election we can send the SNP a message they can't ignore, and with your help we can stop them, and in so doing we can get back to the issues that really matter."
Ms Sturgeon responded by accusing the Scottish Conservative leader of using independence as a smokescreen for her party's "toxic" policies.
She said: "Ruth Davidson says I talk about nothing else, the truth is she talks so much about independence that I can't get a word in edgeways about it.
"Ruth Davidson is using independence as a smokescreen in this campaign because she knows the Tory record and Tory policies are toxic."
Ms Dugdale warned the opinion polls were suggesting that the Conservatives "will be back and they will be more destructive than ever before" after the election.
She added: "So who do you want to stand up to the Tories? Labour MPs who understand your life, because they've lived, or SNP MPs who will use every bit of Tory cruelty to exploit the case for independence."
Mr Rennie said the SNP's focus was "always independence", adding: "It took 44 days for Nicola Sturgeon to publish her Bill on another independence referendum. It took 15 months for them to write their mental health strategy.
"It took two years for us to persuade them to expand nursery education for two-year-olds and it took six years for us to persuade them about a pupil premium."
Meanwhile, Mr Harvie warned social and environmental rights, guaranteed in the EU, would be "in the hands of a hard right Tory government hell-bent on a bonfire of the regulations".
And Mr Coburn used his opening remarks to state that "UKIP is the party of Brexit. We must elect UKIP to the Commons to ensure Brexit means exit".
The debate also saw Ms Sturgeon come under fire from the politically balanced audience over the SNP's record on health and education - both of which are devolved to the Scottish Parliament.
One member said she was a nurse and had been forced to use a foodbank.
She said that colleagues were considering leaving nursing, adding: "You have no idea how demoralising it is to work in the NHS."
Making a direct plea to the first minister, she said: "Don't come on your announced visits, come in in the middle of any day to any ward, to any A&E department and see what we're up against."
Ms Sturgeon told her "My sister works in the National Health Service, believe me she tells me exactly what she thinks about these matters."
She said the "austerity policies" of the UK government meant public sector workers had had pay rises capped at 1%.
And she stressed that the Scottish government had a policy of no compulsory redundancies in the NHS and wider public sector.
Analysis
By Philip Sim, BBC Scotland political reporter
At times it was like a Thursday session of First Minister's Questions, with the leaders of the main parties trading barbs over a faintly baffling mix of devolved and reserved policies.
With the SNP defending 56 seats, it was natural that the other leaders would target Nicola Sturgeon.
So, the early stages saw Ruth Davidson and Kezia Dugdale attack the SNP's record in government, although the Scottish Tory leader came under sustained pressure herself over immigration.
There were the usual bouts of participants shouting over each other, and but it was notable that Ms Sturgeon came under much more detailed scrutiny than she did during the UK-wide debate on ITV on Thursday.
The first minister is a skilled operator when it comes to this political sparring though, so she held her ground reasonably well; it was a member of the audience who landed the most notable blow on her.
The nurse in the audience who took the first minister to task will go down as the most memorable moment of the debate, and will no doubt be the element which leads tomorrow's headlines.
There were also fierce exchanges between Ms Sturgeon and Ms Davidson over immigration, with the SNP leader arguing that Conservative manifesto pledges to slash net migration to the UK would be "devastating" for Scotland's economy.
Calling for politicians to be "honest" about immigration, Ms Sturgeon continued: "When we are talking about migrants here we are talking about people working in our hospitals, people serving us in our restaurants, we are talking about our friends and our neighbours.
"The language around immigration I think is shocking. We have got a need in this country to grow our population.
"If EU migration was to be ended over the next 25 years, or even constrained, we would see our working age population fall while our pensioner-age population is due to go up by 50%. That would be an economic catastrophe."
Ms Davidson said that "no one is talking about ending" migration from the EU, and that it was important that any immigration system was "trusted" by people in order to avoid it causing social unrest.
She added: "What I want to see is Scotland to be the most attractive place so we can attract the brightest and the best. At the moment, despite having a third of the landmass of the UK, and 8.4% of the population, we only attract 4% of immigrants to this country".
Ms Sturgeon said those figures - which Ms Davidson said were from the UK government - were "not true", and instead pointed to National Records of Scotland figures which said the country attracted 7% of migrants to the UK.
The incident happened at about 17:50 on Sunday as the boat was coming into Stranraer harbour.
It radioed ahead and was subsequently left moored outside the harbour overnight until disposal experts arrived in the area.
They carried out controlled explosions of the weapons on Monday.
The Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee told the BBC the Department of Health has drawn up proposals to cut funding by 12% from December.
It said the cuts were "madness" and would damage the NHS and social care.
The Department of Health said no final decision had been made. An announcement is expected shortly.
Sue Sharpe, chief executive of the PSNC, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the changes would throw the health service into "chaos", as more people would be forced to turn to GPs instead of pharmacists.
In a letter to the Department for Health seen by the BBC, she wrote: "The proposals were and remain, founded on ignorance of the value of pharmacies to local communities, to the NHS, and to social care, and will do great damage to all three. We cannot accept them."
The PSNC - which negotiates with the Department of Health and NHS England on behalf of pharmacies - said it had been told pharmacies would receive £113m less than expected from December 2016 to March 2017 and £208m less the following year.
The cuts amount to 12% in the coming months and 7% for the next financial year, compared with current spending.
Earlier this year, the then health minister Alistair Burt suggested between 1,000 and 3,000 pharmacies could be closed after spending cuts, although the Department of Health now says it does not recognise the figure.
Officials have been negotiating cuts to the money pharmacies receive from government since last December.
Plans for a £170m cut this year were delayed after 2m people signed a petition opposing the change.
Pharmacies get around 90% of their income from the money government pays for dispensing prescriptions. It costs the taxpayer £2.8bn a year.
A Department for Health spokesman said it was investing £112m to put 1,500 pharmacists in GP's surgeries.
He said: "We have worked collaboratively with the PSNC and have listened to their suggestions and counter proposals over the course of many months.
"Ministers are considering a proposed package for the sector and no final decision has been taken, but we are committed to offering more help to those pharmacies people most depend on compared to others."
"I feel guilty if I don't," she said.
But in her 12 years with the orchestra, Myanmar's former repressive military government only permitted a total of nine public performances.
"We are musicians, we are born to perform," said Aye, who is also deputy director of the orchestra. "It's been very difficult."
In a vast, dimly lit recording space of Studio B in the bowels of the state-run Myanmar Radio and Television building, Aye conducts her colleagues - violinists, cellists and viola players, young men and women drawn from Myanmar's numerous, sometimes-warring, ethnic groups.
As members of the National Orchestra they are state employees.
Dressed in traditional longyi, or sarongs, their silken hair pulled into braids or piled up in buns, the musicians are seated on plastic stools, barefoot. Neat rows of rubber sandals and leather flats are lined up in the foyer outside.
The women wear yellow patches of sandalwood paste on their cheeks.
With Myanmar's citizens marking the first 100 days of their first democratically elected president in 50 years, these musicians, once banned from free expression, are finally being heard.
They squeak and creak their way through Beethoven's Symphony No 3 - ever so slightly out of tune. But while you might question their musical skill, there's little doubt of their commitment or enthusiasm.
"Having a national orchestra is so important," said Aye. "It teaches us how to work together and it makes me so proud that my country has one."
Music has played a diplomatic role in many conflicts. In 1987, American jazz legend Dave Brubeck toured the Soviet Union. Daniel Barenboim's West Eastern Divan Orchestra brought Israeli, Palestinian and other Arab musicians together under the same baton.
In Myanmar, it is internal divisions that pose the gravest threat.
The orchestra - a mix of the majority Burman Buddhists, ethnic Shan people and Christians from Chin and Karen states - provides a rare opportunity for them to collaborate, even as an uneasy peace reigns nationally.
Naw Ei Ngone Phoo, 23, squints with concentration as she plays the notes before her.
An ethnic Karen violinist from Yangon, her home state in the east has raged with a bloody insurgency since Myanmar gained independence from the British in 1948. She is one of many musicians benefitting from the ethnic and social harmony here.
"I remember before the reforms, people had to seek the government's permission even to travel to relatives' houses," she recalls.
"But in January, I performed with the orchestra in my first public concert. I had never even travelled outside Yangon before. My heart was thundering with fear, but it was wonderful."
Cellist Sai Paing Htet Lin, 23, is partly ethnic Chin - a mountain tribe from northwest Myanmar, whose elders, as recently as the 1890s, kept the heads of their enemies as trophies and regularly abducted children from the plains to use as slaves.
American Baptist missionaries converted many Chin to Christianity with translated Bibles and free schooling in the 1900s.
Sai, who grew up in Yangon, is far removed from his colourful maternal history, but the participation of so many ethnic minorities in the orchestra reflects the painstaking task of reconciling Myanmar's tribes to one nation.
"When I make a mistake, it's not just my mistake," Sai said, "it affects the entire orchestra, so we really have to work hard and practice together to sound good."
The orchestra was founded in 2000 by Khin Nyunt, a former military intelligence officer who served as prime minister under Than Shwe, the general who ruled the country with an iron fist until 2010.
"When I graduated from university with a music degree in 1997, Gen Khin Nyunt attended our valedictory concert," Aye recalls. "He later approached the rector and that's how the orchestra was born."
While Khin Nyunt remained powerful, the orchestra was allowed to exist, although it was only permitted two public concerts in its first twelve years of existence.
In 2004, Khin Nyunt was placed under house arrest for contacting contacting pro-democracy activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi.
His fall from grace plunged the orchestra into silence. At one point, Myanmar's military government denied the orchestra even existed.
But that never stopped Aye, willowy with an infectious smile, from practicing alone every day for eight long years.
"I taught music and I tried not to get depressed."
Occasionally she and other musicians tried to organise a small private concert, only to have police clamp down a day before they were due to perform.
Myanmar's generals did eventually decide to open up the country to the outside world in 2010. The ban on the orchestra was lifted in 2012, leading to five public performances including one at the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia.
And in January they performed to an audience of its once-repressive military masters.
At a concert in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, they played Beethoven, Bizet and French composer Camille Saint-Saens under the direction of visiting Japanese conductor Yunosuke Yamamoto. In the audience sat the generals who had relinquished their military uniforms, in keeping with democratic reforms.
However, all was not "allegro".
"Burmese people are not that used to Western classical music," explained Aye.
"We were on stage sweating because we were working so hard, but to them it sounded very boring.
"So in the second half, we played tunes from Mission Impossible, The Godfather and James Bond. They enjoyed that very much."

If the latest ceasefire in eastern Ukraine breaks down, then there will be increased pressure on President Barack Obama by hawks in Washington - Democrat as well as Republican - to provide arms to Ukraine, and on European leaders to acquiesce in this.
In the view of a range of analysts and former officials on both sides of the Atlantic, this seems a singularly ill-thought out strategy.
More importantly, the advocates of arming Ukraine do not appear either to have sufficiently analysed the actual balance of forces on the ground, or to have studied a key lesson from recent history: namely, what happened to Georgia when its government launched an offensive against separatist rebels and their Russian backers in South Ossetia in August 2008.
After brief initial gains, the Georgian army was crushed by new Russian forces.
This apparently lunatic Georgian move is only comprehensible if President Mikheil Saakashvili believed that the USA would intervene militarily to prevent Georgia's defeat.
Of course it did not, nor had any such promise ever been made by the Bush administration.
But the Georgians could have been forgiven for not realising that, given that they had received weapons, extravagant political support, and a promise of future Nato membership from Washington.
What happened in Georgia?
Against the background of this history, it cannot be emphasised too strongly that, for the foreseeable future, however many weapons the Ukrainian army receives from the USA, if it gets into an open fight with the Russian army, it is likely to lose, and lose catastrophically.
So far, very limited numbers of lightly disguised Russian troops have been enough to bring to a standstill the entire fighting strength of the Ukrainian army - last autumn, the Nato estimate was that a mere 3,000 Russian soldiers were present in the Donbas.
With massive US arms supplies, the Ukrainian army might well be able to launch an initially successful offensive against these forces and their local separatist allies. But what then?
All the evidence suggests that the Russian government simply cannot afford the humiliation of a Ukrainian military victory. In other words, as in August 2008 in Georgia, Moscow would respond with greatly increased military force.
In the highly unlikely event that the USA then sent its own troops to help Ukraine - which has already been repeatedly ruled out - we would be in a European war between nuclear powers. If it did not, the Ukrainian army would risk the high probability of defeat, and if so, the USA and Nato would be severely humiliated.
In August 2008, after smashing the Georgian army, Russia briefly occupied parts of Georgia proper - beyond the borders of the separatist territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia - and then withdrew.
Since neither Russia nor the separatists had any historical or ethnic claim on these strategically worthless Georgian territories, there was no reason for them to stay.
Russian attitudes to eastern and southern Ukraine are very different. If the Russian army ever marches into Kharkov and Dnipropetrovsk, they are very likely to stay.
Ukraine can survive without Donetsk, Lugansk and the Crimea. Indeed, it could be seen as a stronger and more homogenous state without them, as the election of President Petro Poroshenko demonstrated.
The loss of a third of the country would be a very different matter.
The partition of Ukraine would indeed mark a return to the Cold War, implying vastly increased European military spending, and colossally increased aid to Ukraine intended to prepare the country for early membership of the European Union - something for which the EU is utterly unprepared.
The duty of Western leaders therefore is to try to make sure that the present ceasefire works.
Despite the battle for Debaltseve, there is some chance that it may work - or at least, a better chance than that of previous attempts.
This is above all because it includes a critical element missing from those attempts: a political solution tied to a specific timetable, and one which allows all the main parties to the conflict to achieve their most important goal (with the possible exception of the separatist leadership in the Donbas).
Concurrently with the withdrawal of heavy weapons, dialogue is to begin on holding local elections in the rebel territories, in accordance with the Ukrainian law on provisional autonomy for the region.
The Ukrainian parliament has to pass a resolution on this within 30 days of the ceasefire.
By the end of 2015, Ukraine is to regain full control of its borders in the east; but also by the end of 2015, a new Ukrainian federal constitution has to be adopted incorporating special autonomous status for the Donbas.
In the meantime, the government in Kiev will reopen economic ties with the Donbas and resume paying official salaries in the region - thereby helping in the process of reintegrating it into Ukraine.
For Kiev and Western governments, this agreement secures their most important goal of preserving the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, minus Crimea, with a central government which preserves the ability to conduct desperately needed reforms.
This is a goal which could otherwise only be achieved through victorious war - and whatever hawks in the USA may think, any full-scale war between Ukraine and Russia will almost certainly result not in Ukrainian victory, but in a crushing Ukrainian defeat and the further dismemberment of the country.
Moreover, trying to turn Ukraine into a country capable of planning such a war would require a degree of authoritarian nationalism which would move Ukraine not closer to the European Union, but even further away from it.
For Russia, this deal preserves the Donbas as a distinct autonomous area within Ukraine. A federal constitution would also help guarantee the position of Russian-speaking areas of the country against any move to forced ukrainianisation from Kiev.
From Moscow's point of view, this would also make it much more difficult to move Ukraine into the West's military camp without a strong consensus behind this in Ukrainian society - a consensus which was present in central European countries during their move to join Nato, but which has never existed in Ukraine.
This is the main sticking point as far as hardliners in both Ukraine and the US are concerned: that the present deal will make Ukraine's membership in Nato and the EU impossible.
In actual fact, however, these are non-issues. By repeatedly stating that under no circumstances will Nato troops be sent to defend Ukraine, Nato seems to have rendered the idea of Ukrainian membership an unlikely prospect.
As for EU membership, it's unlikely any West European leader has ever considered this as more than the remotest of prospects, decades in the future and dependent on a whole series of extremely long and painful changes.
This is a decision therefore which would in all circumstances have to be left to a future generation.
Moreover, given the economic reality of Ukrainian economic dependence on Russia, salvaging Ukraine's collapsing economy can only be done in co-operation with Russia, not against her.
Unless, that is, the EU is prepared to demand from West European populations enormous sacrifices for the sake of helping Ukraine. Anyone who believes that is likely should have a brief conversation with a Greek.
For the ceasefire to hold and a political solution to be reached, the governments of France and Germany will have to show an unwonted degree of resolve and toughness over the next year.
On the one hand, they will have to make clear to Moscow that the relaxations of sanctions against Russia will only come as a result of clear and consistent pressure on the Donbas rebels to abide by the terms of the ceasefire and to pursue autonomy within Ukraine, and not independence.
On the other hand, they will need to make clear to the Ukrainian government and to hardliners in Washington that significant EU aid to Ukraine, and an eventual path to possible EU membership, both depend on Kiev honouring the promise of real autonomy for the Donbas.
The present ceasefire and the associated political process are not perfect, but they present the best chance so far of ending this conflict, preserving by far the greater part of Ukraine as a unitary state, and avoiding an escalation of the war that would most probably be very bad for Russia and the West, and absolutely disastrous for Ukraine.

The North East/North West Action Plan for Jobs is aimed at delivering 10-15% employment growth in a number of areas over the coming years.
The areas included in the plans are Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth.
Jobs Minister Richard Bruton said the jobs could be in place by 2015.
"Jobs are growing right across the country, but they are growing faster in some regions than in others," he said.
"That is why we have put in place the 250m euros regional jobs strategy, to support regions to play to their strengths and accelerate jobs growth in every area."
Mr Bruton acknowledged that the north east/north west region had had "historic problems" with unemployment but said in recent years it had "performed extremely strongly".
"I am convinced that with the right support from government through the North East/North West Plan, and by continuing the collaborative approach right across the region, we can deliver 28,000 extra jobs over the coming years," he said.
"This would be 28,000 extra pay packets coming into communities and 25,000 lives back on track - a goal well worth fighting for."
After receiving applications, an independent nominations committee had formed a shortlist of 38 candidates.
Club members then voted on who they wanted to "represent their interests and engage with key club staff".
Former Rangers captain David Weir and Scotland rugby player Al Kellock were members of the nominations committee.
Supporters have a vital role to play in helping Rangers achieve success on and off the pitch and the introduction of the Official Fans Board will provide the platform for more structured dialogue
The others were Reverend Stuart MacQuarrie, the University of Glasgow chaplain, and supporters Tom Mowbray, Mhairi McKenzie, Melville Curry, Ross Hardie and Holly-Jade Johnston.
The club's present hierarchy has been criticised by some sections of the support in recent months over its handling of Rangers' finances.
Rangers chief executive Graham Wallace said: "Supporters have a vital role to play in helping Rangers achieve success on and off the pitch and the introduction of the Official Fans Board will provide the platform for more structured dialogue as well as providing the club with a better understanding of the issues and concerns of the fan-base."
Each member of the club's first-ever fans' board will represent different sections of the Scottish Championship club's support.
The members are Alison Clark-Dick (female fans), Christine Murdoch (families), Gary Gillan (overseas fans), William Gillan (fans in Glasgow/Govan community), William Paterson (disabled fans), Zia Islam (ethnic minorities), William Findlay (under-18s), Robert Callaghan (Ibrox match-ticket purchasers), Thomas Clements (corporate fans), Alan Harris (fans attending away games), Tom Johnstone (Rangers Official members) and Alan Fraser (season ticket holders).
The 12 members will elect a chairman, vice-chairman and secretary at the board's first meeting and thereafter meet at least four times each season.
Rangers added: "The Official Fans Board has been created to benefit all Rangers supporters and will provide a platform for fans to communicate directly with key club staff in a structured manner.
"It will also give the club greater insight into the topics and issues that most affect and concern the wider Rangers fan-base and allow supporters to better understand the club's decision-making process on key issues."
"Supporters have the chance to play a crucial role in helping the club achieve success on and off the pitch and the creation of this democratically-elected Official Fans Board is an important step in the club's Ready to Listen fan engagement strategy."
Brenna, from Strichen, was too young and too healthy to have a stroke, her mother thought.
She has since learned that about 400 UK children have a stroke every year, leaving many with severe physical and mental impairments.
Experts say early recognition is important to minimise the risk of severe long-term health problems.
Brenna told BBC Scotland's John Beattie programme: "I had a bug the day before so I was off school.
"I had blurry vision throughout the day and I thought that I was just feeling ill and tired so I just went up to my room to lie down and sleep.
"I woke up and I had a message on my phone. I picked up my phone and my left hand just went straight and dropped it.
"I was like 'ok, that's not right'. I thought I was just dehydrated so I went to have a drink but I dropped that as well."
Brenna says that she tried to speak and "I did not sound right".
She went to get her mum and had to hold on to the walls because "my legs were missing the floor".
The 14-year-old says she remembered a TV advert about strokes and told her mother she was having one.
"My mum was like 'no, you are being so dramatic Brenna'," she says.
Her mother says: "She made a massive entrance into the room and threw herself on to the bed and I thought 'typical teenager, big drama entrance'.
"But then I had a look at her and I thought 'oh no, something's definitely not right.
"Her left side was jerking and moving really weirdly. I thought there's something definitely not right here and it was just horrific to see."
Brenna says they went to see their GP who thought it might be a stroke and she was taken by ambulance to Aberdeen for a CT scan.
"Once they got a CT scan they saw the blood clot at the back of my neck or my brain," she says.
They performed emergency thrombolysis to break down the blood clot in Aberdeen before flying her to a specialist neurological unit in Edinburgh.
Her mother says: "To start with we did not know whether she would walk again, it was just horrendous.
"For the first week or so she was just lying in bed and we just thought 'is this going to be it?'.
"She slowly came to and it was just an amazing journey we have had with her and I don't think I would have been able to do what she has done.
"The first time she stood up with the physiotherapist, it was just so emotional, I'm nearly tearing up just thinking about it."
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has issued new guidelines for diagnosis, management and rehabilitation of children suffering from a stroke.
Dr Vijeya Ganesan, a paediatric neurologist who was involved in drafting the guidelines, said the causes in children were different to adults, where smoking and high blood pressure were often responsible.
She said: "I think a really important factor is infection. It seems that affected children are often predisposed to respond to infection in an unusual way, which can result in a stroke.
"However, the signs of stroke in children are very similar to the signs in adults - weakness at the side of the face, difficulty in speaking, difficulty moving one side of the body.
"Stroke in children can have more subtle features, such as fitting affecting one side of the body or sudden severe headaches, for instance."
Two months after the stroke, Brenna says she is starting to get back to where she was.
She says: "Just now I'm doing half days at school again and I'm back to my swimming and I'm back to my archery.
"I'd say the next goals I would have would be to return to full days at school and to return to my hockey."
Kathleen says her daughter has been "absolutely amazing from start to finish".
"She's completely determined. Her thrawn side, as we put it, has played in her favour." | Uber is facing legal action in the UK from British drivers who claim the taxi-booking firm does not provide them with basic workers' rights.

Two Swedes and one Belgian also died in the attack on Friday, when a hijacked lorry was driven into a store.
His family said they were devastated by the "untimely and tragic death" of the "wonderful husband, son, father, brother and close friend to many".
The suspect, a 39-year-old man from Uzbekistan, had been facing deportation, Swedish police said.
Crispin Bevington - known as Chris - worked as a director with music streaming service Spotify. The father-of-two was based in Stockholm with his family.
His father John said: "We are all devastated by the untimely and tragic death of our talented, compassionate and caring son Chris.
"A wonderful husband, son, father, brother and close friend to many.
"The family requests absolute privacy at this incredibly difficult time to mourn his passing in peace."
Co-founder of Spotify, Daniel Ek, confirmed Mr Bevington's death with "shock and a heavy heart".
He said: "He has had a great impact on not just the business but on everyone who had the privilege to know and work with him.
"There are no words for how missed he will be or for how sad we all are to have lost him like this.
"Whilst this terrible news is sinking in, our primary focus is on supporting the family and loved ones of Chris in any way we possibly can.
Mr Ek said he was as "deeply saddened and upset" as everyone that such an attack could happen in Sweden. The only light, he said, was the consequent "outpouring of love, compassion and solidarity".
He added: "We will greatly miss you Chris. Rest in Peace my friend."
In a press conference on Sunday, police said the suspect was known to have extremist sympathies.
A further 15 people were injured in the attack. Ten are still being treated in hospital, four of them in a serious condition.
Police later said they had found a suspect device inside the lorry, which had been hijacked from a beer company before hitting the Ahlens store.
No terrorist group has claimed to be behind the attack.
A UK Foreign Office spokesman said: "Stockholm Police have confirmed that a British man was killed during the attack in Stockholm.
"We are supporting his family in Sweden and in the UK. Our thoughts are with them and all those affected at this terrible time.
"We will stand shoulder to shoulder with Sweden as they deal with this tragedy."
Stockholm police said the suspected attacker, arrested later on Friday, had previously been sought by authorities for deportation.
He had sought residency in Sweden in 2014, but his application was rejected last year. He had expressed support for extremist organisations including the Islamic State group, police said.
While he was known to security services, he was seen only as a "marginal character", Sweden's National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson added.
Meanwhile, a second suspect has been placed under formal arrest.
Reuters news agency said it was on "a lower degree of suspicion" than the first suspect.
Police have interviewed more than 500 people over the incident, Sweden's TT news agency reports.
Thousands of people have gathered in a square in central Stockholm on Sunday for a vigil against terrorism.
Prime Minister Theresa May pledged solidarity with Sweden in the wake of the attack, with a Downing Street spokesman saying she had called her counterpart, Stefan Lofven, to express her condolences.
The spokesman added: "She was clear that the UK stands firmly by Sweden's side, and they agreed on the importance of working together to tackle these threats, which we all continue to face."
Sweden has taken in nearly 200,000 refugees and migrants in recent years - more per capita than any other European country.

Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said the troops had destroyed two rebel camps in Myanmar and "returned safely".
Senior army officer Ranbir Singh said the operation "inflicted significant casualties" on the Indian rebels.
Last week's ambush occurred near the border with Myanmar in Manipur state.
The Indian army had launched a massive search involving hundreds soldiers and helicopters to track down the rebels, who were reported to have crossed the porous border into Myanmar (also known as Burma) from Manipur's Chandel district after the ambush.
Authorities in Manipur have struggled for years with an insurgency involving several militant groups.
While the Indian army said its soldiers had operated along the border with Myanmar, Mr Rathore said the troops had "crossed over to Myanmar territory" during Tuesday morning's operation.
"It was a much-need decision that was taken by the prime minister. This decision was extremely bold in nature. And it involved our Special Forces crossing the border and going deep into another country," Mr Rathore, who is the junior information minister, told The Indian Express newspaper.
The Press Trust of India news agency quoted unnamed sources as saying that Indian troops had killed some 15 rebels in the "cross-border" attack.
Major General Ranbir Singh of the Indian army said in a statement that they were "in communication with the Myanmar authorities on this matter".
"There is a history of close co-operation between our two militaries. We look forward to working with them to combat such terrorism," he said.
The rebels had used used rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles to target the soldiers in Manipur last Thursday.

Labour just held on to the seat by 11,633 to 11,016 votes.
Mr Miliband said UKIP voters did not think the parties listened to them, or that the country represented them.
And he predicted the next election would be a fight against "disillusionment and despair".
Speaking in Heywood, where he congratulated winning candidate Liz McInnes, Mr Miliband said Labour had changed and realised it was "not prejudiced" to worry about immigration.
But he said he did not think UKIP could "represent the interests of working people" because they wanted to cut taxes for the rich.
Earlier he promised Labour would not have "a shred of complacency" after avoiding a shock defeat.
He said the Conservatives were in retreat in the North West and had lost to UKIP in "their own back yard" of Clacton in the other by-election.
Ms McInnes got 41% of the vote, up slightly on Labour's share at the 2010 election.
John Bickley, for UKIP, came second with 39% of the vote - up from 3% in 2010. The Conservatives got 12% of votes, down from 27% in 2010 and the Lib Dems 5%, down from 23%.
Ms McInnes said she was proud to have been elected, saying "our vote held up, but we had not anticipated the Tory vote collapsing quite so dramatically".
She added: "Our core voters turned out. We didn't take anyone's votes for granted and we have run a very strong positive campaign."
Veteran Labour MP Frank Field said the result in Heywood and Middleton meant that "all bets were off" for Labour at next year's general election.
But Mr Field said: "If last night's vote heralds the start of UKIP's serious assault into Labour's neglected core vote, all bets are off for safer, let alone marginal seats at the next election."
Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said the surge in support for UKIP underlined "the scale of the challenge to traditional politics".
Mr Alexander said both the Heywood and Middleton and Clacton by-election results showed none of the three main political parties could "deploy the tools of traditional party politics".
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the general election would be a fight against public "disillusionment and alienation" with Westminster politicians.
"There can be no ounce of complacency in the Labour Party or any other traditional party. We've got to earn the trust of every single voter," he added.
Mr Alexander pointed out Labour increased its share of the vote in the Heywood and Middleton by-election - from 40% to 41%.
He argued that the swing in support to UKIP was the result of a collapse in support for the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives in the constituency.
He also admitted that immigration had proved an important issue in the by-election.
But Mr Alexander argued that the National Health Service had also proved to be a big issue for voters in the by-election campaign, adding; "We need to expose the fact that UKIP want to... charge people to see the GP and that they've got policies that are more Tory than the Tories."
UKIP MEP Patrick O'Flynn later told the BBC's Daily Politics the party did not have any plans to charge people to see their GP, calling it a "foolish idea".
He claimed growing support for UKIP illustrated public anger at "how politics was being done".
But he said the way to beat UKIP was "conversation by conversation, street by street" and to "acknowledge the alienation that people feel from politics".
Labour won Heywood and Middleton at the last general election with 40% of the vote - on a much lower turnout yesterday, they retained the seat with 41% of the vote.
A small step forward for them but a giant leap for UKIP from a derisory three per cent and fifth place behind the BNP in 2010 to second place and 39 per cent of the vote now - a swing from Labour to Ukip of 18 points.
That would have been their best ever by election performance - but for Clacton
So Nigel Farage will claim he can take Labour votes in the north just as he can take Tory votes in the south.
But that's not to say he is harming both main parties equally.
The Conservative saw their share of the vote fall dramatically here - as did the Lib Dems.
So it's likely that UKIP took votes from David Cameron's party while Labour gained votes from Nick Clegg's.
That meant that Labour retained the seat and saw off the robust UKIP challenge.
That said, it was a much worse result than Labour anticipated.
But John Mann, the Labour MP for Bassetlaw, told the Guardian newspaper Labour would not win a majority government unless Mr Miliband broadened the party's coalition to include working class opinion.
In his reaction to the by-elections, David Cameron said they showed that a vote for UKIP could let Labour in. Nigel Farage hit back by saying that the Heywood and Middleton result showed that in the north west a vote for the Conservatives could let Labour in.
Peter Tatchell, who stood as a Labour candidate in the 1983 by-election in the south London constituency of Bermondsey, said Labour bore some of the responsibility for the rise of UKIP.
He said on Twitter: "Labour has part responsibility for rise of UKIP. It played Thatcherism lite & neglected working class people."
The left-wing political blog Left Foot Forward also suggested Labour faced an uphill battle to hold its seat in Heywood and Middleton at the general election.
It said of the by-election result: "More depressing perhaps is the fact that 40% of voters have backed UKIP and another 12% the Tories. That's a majority for the right whichever way you look at it." | Ed Miliband said UKIP could not represent the interests of working people as he reflected on a close by-election victory over Nigel Farage's party in Heywood and Middleton. | 29,565,758 | 1,338 | 46 | false |
Karen Hasson, 59, of Thorndale Park, has been given a combined probation and community service order.
She had previously pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter.
Samuel Carson, 91, died after a fire spread from Hasson's garage to his bungalow in September 2014.
Mr Carson's family said they were disappointed with the sentence, but "glad that this now brings closure to the terrible circumstances" of his death.
Downpatrick Crown Court heard that it was evident from an investigation by fire crews at the scene that Mr Carson "had tried to escape" from his ground floor bedroom, before he was "overcome by smoke".
Judge Piers Grant told Hasson he accepted that she started the fire without contemplating that it would result in the death of an extremely decent individual.
He also said he was satisfied that Hasson was a seriously troubled individual at the time the offences occurred.
The court heard that the defendant had been suffering from emotional and psychiatric problems for some time.
Hasson started the fire in the garage of the marital home from a lit cigarette on 1 September, 2014, following a row with her husband.
The judge described the two-year probation order with 100 hours of community service as "a merciful sentence".
He told the defendant: "I want to make it clear to you that you will not get a second chance."
Speaking after the sentencing, Det Sgt Ian Davis, from the PSNI's Serious Crime Branch, said: "The reckless act carried out by the defendant led to the needless death of a much loved father, grandfather and great grandfather.

The plane, based at Robin Hood Airport, is due to be grounded this month after engineering backers, including Rolls-Royce, withdrew support.
The bomber made a flypast over northern areas of the UK on Saturday and will visit southern areas on Sunday.
South Yorkshire Police said the airport could not "accommodate a large influx of people hoping to see the Vulcan".
The force said: "We must warn you that the chances of seeing XH558 take-off and land are slim. There are no plans for any displays or repeated circuits over the airfield and the aircraft will come straight-in to land on her return.
"There is great risk of severe restrictions being imposed on flight operations if matters persist. We do need to minimise the risk of enforced flight cancellations on the grounds of public safety."
Local authorities and emergency services were starting to become "overwhelmed" by crowds who were flocking to the airport to see the famous Cold War nuclear warplane, police said.
Following the flypast tours, the XH558 bomber will make one final flight towards the end of October, details of which have yet to be confirmed.

The Briton, who replaced Novak Djokovic of Serbia at the top of the rankings last week, won 6-3 6-2 at the O2 Arena for his 20th win in a row.
Murray and Djokovic are vying for the year-end number one spot.
Japan's Kei Nishikori beat Swiss Stan Wawrinka 6-2 6-3 in Monday's other John McEnroe Group match.
The evening session saw Murray step onto court as the world number one for the first time - and he delivered the result that most of the 17,000 spectators wanted.
"A big thank you for all of the support, it was an incredible atmosphere today," Murray said as the crowd saluted him. "I really appreciate it."
Both men misfired from the baseline in the early stages, with Murray making two winners to 14 unforced errors in the first set, but it was a similar story across the net.
The Scot, 29, took his chances when they came, breaking twice and coming through despite four double faults.
There were more signs of the form that has brought Murray such success this year as the second set unfolded.
After saving an early break point with an ace, the Wimbledon champion broke at 2-2 thanks to two mighty forehand winners, and again at 4-2 with another heavy cross-court forehand.
Murray, who has yet to win this title, put his erratic start to the match down to the pace of the court, rather than any added tension.
"I didn't feel any more nervous than usual," he said.
"It's just quite different conditions in there than what we've been practising in during the week. It's a lot slower than it has been.
"I think maybe some of the errors at the beginning were more getting used to playing in new surroundings again."
Murray will face Nishikori, live on BBC Two and Radio 5 live sports extra, on Wednesday at 14:00 GMT.

While Murray and Novak Djokovic battle for the year-end number one spot, Japan's Nishikori took a significant step towards replacing Wawrinka as the world number three with a surprisingly easy win.
"That's my goal for this week," said fifth seed Nishikori, 26.
"Try to win a lot of matches and reach number four or number three. I see the opportunity to go up the ranking."
Wawrinka, 31, was playing with strapping on his left knee and struggled to make any impression on the return, despite Nishikori making just 47% of first serves.
The Swiss, who beat Nishikori on the way to winning the US Open in September, leaked 31 errors over the course of 67 minutes.
Two break of serve allowed Nishikori to take the first set with a sharp volley after 29 minutes, and a lunging forehand return in game five provided the decisive break in the second.
Asked if he had been struggling physically, Wawrinka said: "I was feeling better on the court, so I thought I could play at a better level today.
"I was expecting a good match. Didn't happen today."

The current threat level for international terrorism in the UK is severe - meaning an attack is "highly likely".
Mr Buhari, who was elected in March partly on a promise to tackle corruption and insecurity, vowed to select competent and clean individuals.
But when the much-anticipated list was released, many were disappointed, asking whether the wait had been worth it, and whether those selected were the best in the country.
Some say the list is full of old and recycled politicians who have been part of Nigeria's problems.
The youths who worked tirelessly during his campaign have also been disappointed because the average age in the cabinet is 52. Some women's groups have also voiced their anger that there are just six females on the list.
The 36 names approved by MPs - but yet to be given portfolios - include five former governors, nine lawyers, four former senators, three academics, two medical doctors, two retired soldiers and a clergyman.
The combination of experienced politicians and technocrats shows that the president was trying to balance his choice - rewarding party loyalists, while also selecting some professionals.
His hands were also tied by the constitutional requirement to choose at least one person from each of Nigeria's 36 states.
His supporters say the list shows he is committed to fulfilling his election promises, adding that age and gender do not matter at this stage because the country needs to be rescued urgently.
Here are seven interesting characters to watch in the cabinet:
It is not surprising that Mr Fashola made the list.
His achievements during his tenure as governor of Lagos state - Nigeria's commercial capital - makes him a good asset.
He is credited with bringing an element of order to the chaotic city through massive infrastructure development that included demolishing illegal structures to pave the way for new road projects.
Nigeria in pictures: Lagos facelift
As a senior lawyer and experienced administrator, it won't be surprising if he is asked to head the justice ministry.
The president has promised to root out corruption and bribery allegations that tainted the image of Nigeria's judicial system.
The former ExxonMobil executive vice-chairman was appointed by President Buhari in August to head the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), an organisation vital to Africa's largest economy but notorious for corruption and mismanagement.
Many analysts believe his appointment has started to yield results.
It is surprising that he has now been asked to join the cabinet and is very likely to be appointed a minister in the oil ministry.
This means a new NNPC head may have to be appointed.
Even though the president has said he will oversee the ministry himself, most of the work and reforms he plans to carry out will be handled by Mr Kachikwu.
It will be interesting to see how he will help Mr Buhari clean up the oil sector and recover the mind-boggling sums he said had been stolen.
Does Nigeria run better without a cabinet?
Buhari's to-do list
Is Buhari a changed man?
She is a well-known technocrat within and outside Nigeria. She has more than 30 years of experience in the field of development, including as Nigeria's presidential adviser on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
She was credited with designing and developing several government projects aimed at reducing poverty.
Before joining the cabinet, Ms Mohammed was the Special Adviser to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on post-2015 development planning.
Her eloquence and globally-exposed experience in development and management could be an asset to the government if correctly exploited.
He is the most controversial of all the appointees even though his inclusion did not come as surprise.
As President Buhari's campaign director, many Nigerians see Mr Amaechi's appointment as pay-back for the role he played in the president's victory during the election.
However, his choice has been heavily criticised after he was indicted by Rivers state's panel of inquiry for allegedly enriching himself during his eight-year tenure as the state's governor.
He denied all the allegations and said they were politically motivated. He also took the commission to court.
Opposition MPs tried to block his appointment but the ruling party used its majority to get him through.
As Nigeria's Chief of Army Staff between 2008 and 2010, he led a successful campaign against militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
After he was sacked, the militants regrouped in 2011. Since then, thousands of people have been killed and the insurgency has spread to neighbouring countries.
Tackling the group is one of Mr Buhari's top priorities, so it will be interesting to see how Mr Dambazzau will tackle the conflict now, assuming he is asked to head the ministry of defence as expected.
She is an economist and financial expert who was educated and worked in the UK before going back to Nigeria to serve as a commissioner of finance in the south-western state of Ogun.
Many expect her to be posted to the finance ministry.
During her presentation to the Senate, she said funds allocated for various projects are being diverted and identified ways to stop this happening.
She also said the country cannot afford to continue spending 78% of its budget on paying civil servants' salaries and other ongoing costs.
It will be interesting to see how the financial markets, investors and ordinary Nigerians will react to her appointment and whether she will be able to transform the country's struggling economy.
As a veteran politician with four decades of experience, Mr Ogbe, 68, is known to be independent-minded and self-willed and has served in several previous governments.
Many remember him for his public row with ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2005, when he was chairman of the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party.
He was forced to resign from the position after accusing Mr Obasanjo of interfering in party affairs.
Mr Ogbe is an experienced farmer who is expected to be appointed to lead the vital agriculture ministry.
Nigeria has a vast tracts of land that analysts say, if used properly, could create jobs for the country's army of unemployed youths and reduce Nigeria's dependence on oil.
Nigerians will be hoping that he is able to bring this theory to reality.
The Scottish Secretary faced protests at the event in Dumfries last week.
Mr Arkless has complained to the Speaker and Cabinet Office about the actions of the Conservative MP for the neighbouring constituency.
However, a spokesman for Mr Mundell said he had complied with rules and notified him of the engagement.
Mr Arkless said he believed the MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale may have broken the ministerial code in relation to accepted behaviour of MPs.
He said House of Commons speakers had repeatedly instructed that MPs intending to perform a public engagement in another member's constituency should inform them and "proper notice" should be given.
He said the only notification he had received was a "panicky" email one hour before the event.
He claimed it was a "clear breach" of House of Commons rules and potentially the ministerial code.
A spokesman for Mr Mundell said he had complied with the regulations.
"David made the visit as a constituency MP to a shared facility covering both constituencies," he said.
"He fully complied with the House of Commons rules by formally notifying neighbouring MP Richard Arkless of the engagement in his constituency.
"If Mr Arkless is claiming he still wasn't aware, he must have been the only person in Scotland who didn't know David was attending the event."
Witold Sobkow met Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and junior minister Michelle McIlveen. who was deputising for First Minister Peter Robinson.
They said they "value the contribution of the Polish community".
In a joint statement, the two politicians said they "shared the ambassador's concern about race hate crimes and all forms of intimidation".
"Although race hate crimes are first and foremost a matter for the PSNI we all have a responsibility to support, understand and respect our neighbours.
"Together we must eradicate the scourge of racism, sectarianism and all forms of bigotry."
Almost 150 crimes were recorded against the Polish community in a 12-month period up to March 2015; an increase of 39 on the previous year.
On Monday, the first day of his two-day visit to Northern Ireland, Mr Sobkow called for a more co-ordinated response to the attacks and more integration for the Polish community.
"This is bad for the community, but it is also bad for Northern Ireland because it creates the wrong image of the community that is, in general, hospitable," he said.
Mr McGuinness and Ms McIlveen said officials would shortly have proposals ready for the Northern Ireland Executive's racial equality strategy, having analysed responses to a consultation.
"It is in all our interests that people from minority ethnic backgrounds have a sense of belonging and know that their place in society is valued," they said.
"By working together we can ensure all people in our community are treated fairly and show we welcome the diversity which enhances all our lives."
Mr Sobkow also met senior PSNI officers on Tuesday.
Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin said he had briefed Mr Sobkow "on the various strands of work we are engaged in to try and put a stop to the unacceptable behaviour being carried out by a small number of intolerant people".
He said the PSNI took its responsibilities in preventing and tackling hate crime "extremely seriously", adding that it "requires a wider societal and cultural response involving politicians, civic society and community".
Simeon Akinola opened the scoring with a fine solo effort, nutmegging his marker before firing into the net.
The Spitfires' Jamie Turley was then sent off for a second booking after a scything tackle on Akinola.
Braintree's Matt Fry was also dismissed for two yellow cards, but Akinola doubled their lead from close-range to seal the win.
It follows a Network Rail report which said the London to Cardiff upgrade would be completed by 2019.
Visiting Cardiff Central station, Mr McLoughlin said he understood the "frustrations" of not having electrified the line 20 years ago.
He said they were "catching up" after previous governments failed to invest.
The estimated cost of electrifying the line between London and Cardiff rose from £1.6bn in 2014 to £2.8bn in 2015.
The target date for reaching Cardiff was originally 2017, and 2018 for Swansea.
The Network Rail report in November said the upgrade between Cardiff and Swansea would fall into its next five year plan, covering 2020 to 2024.
It prompted tycoon Sir Terry Matthews to warn of "a damaging air of uncertainty" over efforts to boost the prosperity of Swansea.
But Mr McLoughlin said on Thursday: "I hope that by 2020 or 2021 it will be all the way through to Swansea.
"I understand the frustrations of not having this line electrified 20 years ago, and the simple fact is we have had governments of all persuasions who have not invested enough in the railways and we are catching up on that.
"We will see the electrification to Cardiff by 2019, I then want to see us carry on to Swansea.
"It's very important and it's right that we should be doing that.
"We will have the equipment down here and I see that as the whole line being done."
Mr McLoughlin said he expected Network Rail to say something on its plans for Swansea shortly.
Welsh Transport Minister Edwina Hart said she had told Mr McLoughlin earlier in the day that Network Rail and the UK government were expected to "honour their commitments to delivering electrification to Swansea by 2019".
"I also raised the importance of delivering electrification in north Wales and stressed its importance in driving economic growth in Wales," she added.
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says the UK has one of the lowest rates of the practice in Europe - with just a third of babies receiving breast milk at the age of six months.
They argue breastfeeding in public is still "often stigmatised".
The Royal College recommends the subject is covered in personal, social and health education (PSHE) classes.
It advises that mothers should be encouraged and supported to breastfeed exclusively for up to six months, with solid food introduced from six months, ideally alongside breastfeeding.
Professor Neena Modi, the Royal College's president, said too few babies were being breastfed and it was up to the government, families and schools to get the country out of a "blackspot".
Children needed to understand more about breastfeeding, she said.
The first stage was to expose very young children to mothers, aunties and family friends doing it so it became normal and natural, she said.
Then, schools should teach children about, for example, the evidence that breastfeeding was good for the health and why it could be difficult or easy, she added.
Both boys and girls should be in the lessons, as partners can do "an awful lot" to help by being supportive and involved, said Prof Modi.
Currently PSHE is not a statutory part of schools' curriculums, although that will be consulted on this autumn. Schools which do teach the subject largely decide what they wish to teach.
"When we asked groups of children and young people what they thought about breastfeeding, we were really surprised - and a little bit upset - to hear the word 'yucky' being used by them," Prof Modi said.
"Clearly the perception that we, as a society, are giving children, is not the perception we want them to be getting."
She added: "Regrettably the attitudes of a large part of society mean breastfeeding is not always encouraged; local support is patchy, advice is not always consistent and often overly dogmatic, support in the workplace not always conducive to continued breastfeeding.
"And perhaps, most worryingly, breastfeeding in public is still often stigmatised. It is no wonder that for many mothers, there are too many barriers."
Anna Whitehouse, a parenting blogger on Mother Pukka, said she was not uncomfortable breastfeeding in public but could understand others who were.
"That's not their fault," she said. "We're not educated that it's a normal thing - it's not in biology classes.
"Suddenly it's just a thing that you do, and people are expected to just go, 'Oh, that's normal.'"
Natalie Penrose told BBC News it was "an amazing idea to introduce children at school to the idea of breastfeeding".
"I am still breastfeeding my 22-month-old daughter on demand and I would love to see this being the norm instead of something that is frowned upon. I can't imagine why more women aren't convinced to carry on."
However, Helen Holmes, a teacher and parent, said there was "little point" telling mothers why they should breastfeed.
"Health professionals need to understand that it's a small minority of women who actually choose to bottle feed and most switch to this because they haven't been given the best support.
"It can be very difficult - stop pretending it isn't and support mothers with the practicalities."
Fiona said she wasn't able to produce enough milk when her daughter was born.
"I tried breastfeeding - of course I did - but the sheer pushiness and abrupt manners of breastfeeding experts who visited me in the cubicle put me off asking for help.
Lorna Pedersen said women are already told they are "selfish, lazy or ignorant" if they are either unable to breastfeed, or make a different choice.
"To make vulnerable women feel like they are failing at the very start of their parenting journey is not only despicable and cruel it is completely unnecessary."
In a separate survey of 1,030 mothers of children under five, the most common reasons why mothers stopped breastfeeding were found to be:
Nearly three-quarters agreed with the statement that there was too much emphasis on telling women why they should breastfeed, and not enough on supporting them to do it.
For those still breastfeeding at six weeks, face-to-face help from a healthcare professional or a breastfeeding counsellor was considered the most effective intervention.
Justine Roberts, founder of Mumsnet which carried out the poll, said: "There's no sense in endlessly telling women that they must breastfeed, but letting them down when they have a baby in their arms.
"Breastfeeding is a skill, and most mothers need support when they hit a problem, especially given that they are often shattered, sore and sleep-deprived.
"The guilt, anger and sadness experienced by many mothers who switch from breastfeeding is palpable, and it's deeply unfair to leave so many feeling that they've failed."
Other recommendations from the Royal College's paper released at the start of World Breastfeeding Week include:
It also wants the government to reinstate the UK-wide Infant Feeding Survey, which was cancelled in 2015.
Only 34% of babies were receiving some breast milk at six months, compared with 49% in the US and 71% in Norway, according to medical journal The Lancet. At a year, this figure fell to 0.5%.
The Royal College points to Unicef research that concludes even moderate increases in breastfeeding could save the NHS up to £40m a year through fewer GP consultations and hospital admissions.
The event in Spain is the first chance for nations to secure half of the country berths for the 2016 Games.
"We'd hope to qualify in each of the 10 events at this first opportunity and put that to bed," said Park.
"Then we can concentrate on the individual competitions and who we select for Team GB."
Park is also keen that GB's sailors build on their success at August's Olympics test event in Brazil, where they won eight medals in seven disciplines.
"Across the 10 classes we are looking to try and win four medals or more," said Park.
"Following our performances in Rio last month we're feeling fairly confident going into this event."
Giles Scott, who won Great Britain's gold in the Finn class, says the team is keen to improve on their fine Rio showing in Santander.
"The squad's in a very strong place and I'd imagine as a unit we're aiming for more golds," he told BBC Sport.
"If we can get close to the high tally we achieved in Rio that would be good."
The World Championships on Spain's north coast runs between 12-21 September, and Scott is tipping his fellow British sailors for success.
"The guys and girls in the 470 class - Luke Patience and Elliott Willis, and Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark - are always pretty strong," he said.
"The men's 49er event is pretty wide open. New Zealand and Australia have been dominant in that class, but the British squad are closing in on them so that will be interesting to watch.
"There's an incredible amount of depth in the British squad and clearly all of us as individuals are just looking to make sure we round off the season well in Santander."
Scott's own form since returning to compete in the Finn a year ago has been impressive and he goes into the season finale in Santander unbeaten in his last six regattas.
"I feel like I'm in a good position (to challenge for a gold medal in Spain) but it'll still take everything to come away with a victory," he said.
Eddie "The Beast" Hall, 29, of Clayton, beat 29 other men to the title in the competition held in Botswana.
Mr Hall, who has been crowned Britain's Strongest Man four times, previously told the BBC his life was dedicated to achieving the world title.
His manager Mo Chaudry said Hall worked for a decade towards this "absolutely extraordinary" achievement.
Hall is the first Briton to win the world title since Gary Taylor 24 years ago.
Mr Chaudry said Hall had remained committed to his goal.
"There have been times when people have doubted his abilities to win and in the last two or three years I think it's got harder and harder because the other pros have got better also, and they are all very competitive."
Mr Hall, who tweeted after the contest he was retiring from World's Strongest Man contests, was a lorry maintenance worker before turning professional.
The father-of-two competed in a number of events, including carrying two fridges along a 30-metre course within 60 seconds and carrying five Atlas Stones which increase in weight from 100 kg (15 stone 10lb) to 160 kg (25st 2lb).
Organisers say the contest is "about stamina, skill, tactics, training and strategy" with every event designed to push competitors to their "absolute limits".
They said the woman was attacked in Muirhouse View at about 13:45 and inquiries into the incident were at an early stage.
A spokesman said: "Officers in Edinburgh received a report of a sexual assault on a woman that occurred on Muirhouse View.
"Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances."
The cuts are needed because of a fall in the amount of coal being transported on the rail network, the company said.
It is understood there are plans to close its depot in Worksop and merge depots in Gateshead and on Teesside.
Jobs are also expected to go at the firm's headquarters in Doncaster and at sites in Carlisle and Warrington, said BBC political reporter David Rhodes.
DB Schenker Rail UK said it would not confirm which roles and locations were affected until it had concluded consultations with staff and the RMT and Aslef trade unions.
An Aslef spokesman said redundancies among clerical and depot staff were nearly unavoidable.
However, the union added that sacking any of its 118 train drivers was not permissible as its members had a three-year no compulsory redundancy clause in their contracts.
DB Schenker Rail UK said in a statement: "The demand for coal is declining much faster than the industry and our customers could have reasonably predicted.
"Our customers in the energy sector remain hugely important to us and we are committed to continuing to compete in this volatile market and to maintain and increase our share where possible."
Chief executive Geoff Spencer added: "We must transform and reshape our organisation to ensure our long term success by evolving to meet the needs of a rapidly changing market.
"I know this is an unsettling time for colleagues who may be affected and we are committed to keeping them fully informed and supported throughout this process."
The company said it would try to protect jobs "wherever possible".
This would include not backfilling a number of existing vacancies and looking at the possibility of offering some staff relocation.
Oxgangs Primary, St Peter's Primary and the Braidburn School will be the first of 17 schools to open their doors again following remedial works.
Youngsters will return to classes on Tuesday with five other schools due to open again in June.
City of Edinburgh Council leader Andrew Burns said: "It has been a very difficult time for everyone."
He added: "I want to thank parents for their patience and understanding.
"I am sure the parents at these three schools will be relieved to see their children back at their own schools next week."
About 7,600 primary and secondary school children in the capital were affected when the schools, which were all built or refurbished as part of the same public private partnership (PPP) scheme, were closed suddenly in April.
The council took the decision to shut them after Edinburgh Schools Partnership said it was unable to provide safety assurances for the properties.
As a result, thousands of youngsters have been bussed to schools across the city for lessons, although they have been taught by their regular teachers.
Mr Burns said: "Staff at the schools and across the council have pulled out all the stops to ensure our young people's education could continue and they deserve praise for their commitment and flexibility.
"Our priority has always been the safety of our pupils and staff, and we have insisted that Edinburgh Schools Partnership and their contractors take a belt-and-braces approach to these works and associated paperwork.
"This approach has also been reviewed by an independent expert on behalf of the council.
"I hope parents will take comfort from the level of rigour we have applied and insisted upon throughout."
He added: "The remedial work at the remaining schools is on track, with five due to reopen in June and the remaining nine by the middle of August for the start of the new term. If we can bring forward any of these dates, we will."
Firrhill High is scheduled to reopen to pupils on 6 June, followed by Royal High and Drummond Community High on 20 June, and then Broomhouse Primary and St Joseph's Primary on 27 June.
The remaining nine schools affected are on course to reopen for the start of the new school year in August, according to the council.
The local authority has already confirmed an independent inquiry into the school closures will be held after the summer holiday.
The 21-year-old started at Abercrave RFC and made his debut for his home region in 2014, only to suffer an injury that kept him out of Ospreys action until the 2016/17 season.
"It's been great this year to get some game time in the Anglo Welsh and then through to the Pro12," Price said.
"Now I'm looking forward to next season and trying to kick on from there."
Sam Davies, Justin Tipuric, Dan Baker, Hanno Dirksen, Dan Lydiate (on a national dual contract), Joe Thomas and Brian Mujati have all signed new deals with the Welsh region for next season, while Wales backs Cory Allen and James Hook have been confirmed as additions to the squad for 2017/18.
In an interview on Monday, Mr Trump had said Mrs Merkel had made an "utterly catastrophic mistake by letting all these illegals into the country".
But Anthony Scaramucci said the incoming president had an "enormous amount of respect for her".
Mr Scaramucci also told the BBC the US would win a trade war with China.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mr Scaramucci said that Mr Trump had been "trying to be complimentary" about Mrs Merkel.
Davos coverage in full
Mr Scaramucci, who will enter the White House on Friday as a senior adviser to the president, acknowledged that Mr Trump's comments had been received by many as an attack on the European community, but dismissed reports of a feud between the US and German administrations.
"You shouldn't be worried," he told the BBC.
"We have a very longstanding, very close cohesive relationship with western Europe and that will remain in place during the Trump administration."
In the controversial interview with The Times and Germany's Bild, Mr Trump also appeared to put Russia's Vladimir Putin and Chancellor Merkel on an equal footing, saying he would "start off trusting both".
But Mr Scaramucci denied that the president-elect was being disparaging of Mrs Merkel.
"He was basically saying that he holds her in a tremendous amount of respect, but she may have made some mistake as it related to the influx of immigration, which from what I have read from the German press, she has admitted to. So I don't understand why this is such an international outcry."
Mr Scaramucci, who is the only member of the Trump administration to attend this year's World Economic Forum, also predicted that European leaders would warm to the incoming president.
"Over the next two to three years… I think Chancellor Merkel will respect the strength of President Trump. I think she will have a great relationship with him."
Cyriac Joseph, 52, known as Benny, from Sherwood, who runs ABC Travels, died when his vehicle was in collision with two lorries.
It is thought he was driving a party of Indian visitors from Nottingham to Wembley, north-west London.
Two lorry drivers have been charged in connection with the crash.
A service was held in Lenton, Nottingham, on Sunday in memory of Mr Joseph, who was originally from the Indian state of Kerala.
Father Biju Joseph, who conducted a mass at St Paul's Church, said: "It's so sad and we're praying to God for his soul and his family.
"People are really shocked, he was such a good friend. He was like a brother to me."
Father Joseph confirmed that Mr Joseph's wife and children, a 19-year-old man and a girl aged 15, who attended the service, were told of his death by police on Saturday morning.
He said the prayer service was a "great relief" for them.
Alex Daniel, a friend, said Mr Joseph was a "great leader" within the south Indian community in Nottingham.
He said: "I'm not surprised by the amount of people who came [to the service]. We got calls from across the country showing concerns for the family."
Messages were posted on social media following the crash, expressing condolences.
Manu Zachariah described "Benny" as his best friend who was like a big brother to him.
"He would go an extra mile to help anyone in need," he said. "He loved company of friends. He was sports enthusiast and active cultural leader of our community. He was positive thinker and wanted everyone to improve."
Mr Zachariah also said Mr Joseph was once the president of Nottingham Malayalee Cultural Association (NMCA).
Soyimon Joseph, who described Mr Joseph as his "dearest friend", last saw him on Friday evening.
In a Facebook post he said: "Hearty condolences. I never thought yesterday 10pm [Friday] you say thank you to me it was our last meeting."
Chris Borland, a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, quit after talking to concussion researchers and his family.
His four-year deal with the 49ers was reportedly worth around $3m (£2.03m).
The 24-year-old Borland, who suffered two prior concussions before joining the 49ers, was among the top rookies in the NFL last season.
He finished with 107 tackles and two interceptions.
The issue of brain injuries in American football is a hot topic.
A class-action lawsuit involving thousands of former players, filed in 2012, contended that the NFL hid the dangers of brain injury among players while profiting from the sport's violent physical contact.
In February, a US judge refused to accept a proposed settlement between the NFL and the players, saying payment should be expanded for some players and families among other concerns.
Borland becomes one of the most prominent NFL players to quit because of concerns about brain injuries.
Last year Seattle Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice retired at the age of 27 over fears for his long-term health after absorbing so many blows to the head.
Speaking to ESPN's Outside the Lines, Borland said: "I just want to do what's best for my health. From what I've researched and what I've experienced, I don't think it's worth the risk."
San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke said the news was "unexpected", while the NFL insisted "football has never been safer".
Jeff Miller, the NFL's senior vice president of health and safety policy, added he respected Borland's decision and accepted there was still work to do. But he added: "We continue to make progress with rule changes, safer tackling techniques at all levels of football, and better equipment, protocols and medical care for players."
Borland, a history graduate at the University of Wisconsin, plans to further his education and pursue a career in sports management.
The 24-year-old waiter beat fellow Mississippi native La'Porsha Renae to the title as the long-running series came to a close.
It was a surprise win for Harmon, as the judges had tipped 22-year-old Renae to triumph.
He fell to the floor after he was announced the winner and tearfully praised his rival.
"I know that I have a God-given ability, but I didn't want to take it for granted. I wanted to work so, so hard, and [Renae] pushed me to do it," he said.
Harmon worked as a waiter at his family's restaurant before auditioning for the show. He grew up on a farm and described himself as a "dude from Mississippi".
Single mother Renae overcame domestic abuse to compete in the show and won support from the judges for her powerful voice.
Fox announced in May last year the long-running talent show would end after its 15th season.
US President Barack Obama kicked off the show with a taped message congratulating the show on its 15 years.
He said he hoped young people would be as eager to vote at the polls as they were to vote for their favourites on the show, adding he was doing his best to make it as easy.
The show was launched by Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell in 2002, based on their hit UK series Pop Idol. Cowell was an original judge on the show along with Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.
It paved the way for a wealth of TV talent contests including The X Factor and The Voice.
The show launched the careers of Kelly Clarkson - who was the first ever winner - and stars including Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks and Adam Lambert.
The final show featured guest performances from previous contestants including Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, David Cook, Fantasia, Ruben Studdard, Sparks and Kimberley Locke.
Current judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr and Keith Urban also performed.
Original judges Abdul and Jackson appeared on the show to pay tribute to host Ryan Seacrest, while Cowell also appeared on stage and said he was "feeling quite emotional" about the end of the show.
The singing competition drew 36 million viewers in its heyday in 2006, but ratings have fallen every year since then.
It averaged about 11 million viewers last season, but with fewer younger viewers which are favoured by advertisers.
Ending the show Seacrest said "Good night, America" adding when the screen faded to black, "for now".
Gallagher, 33, has been bothered by a back injury for some time.
The Glenswilly clubman had already been ruled out of this year's Football League because of the injury but he has now opted to call time on his career.
Gallagher began his Donegal career in 2003 and helped the county land the All-Ireland title in 2012.
The midfielder becomes the fifth member of the 2012 squad to have announced their inter-county retirement in recent months.
Eamon McGee, Colm McFadden, Rory Kavanagh, Christy Toye and David Walsh have already quit Donegal duty.
Rory Gallagher's squad has also been depleted by the decisions of Leo McLoone and Odhran MacNiallais to make themselves unavailable for 2017 while Anthony Thompson is also ruled for the early part of the League because of personal reasons.
Four years after making his Donegal debut, Gallagher captained the county to the 2007 Football League title and he picked up the first of three Ulster Championship medals in 2011 when Donegal defeated Derry in the provincial final.
In recent seasons, Gallagher, who won All-Stars in 2012 and 2014, has been affected by a series of injuries, which included a serious knee problem.
He played no part in last year's championship after picking up a back injury in a League game against Roscommon in March.
A further shoulder problem affected him later in the summer and while the manager said in early December that the midfielder had been given the "green light" to resume training, he has now had to admit defeat in his battle to regain fitness.
Chris Garcia, chief executive of the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), could see his pay jump nearly 27% from £90,729 to £115,000.
Somerset council leader John Osman said: "The pay of £90,000 is already too much so I believe it should be at least 10% less than that."
The LEP has declined to comment.
The LEP covers the Somerset, Devon, Torbay and Plymouth council areas.
The pay rise is being proposed by board members who are councillors, lawyers, and business leaders.
"I'm sorry to say that in the public sector we are not about giving 25% pay rises - even if you are very good at your job, we cannot afford 25%," added Mr Osman.
LEPs are partnerships between businesses and local authorities, which were set up in 2011 by the coalition government.
Their aim is to grow the local economy and support businesses in the region.
"The budget of the LEP itself, operationally, is £1.6m. It has four full-time members of staff and a few others who work part-time.
"If you're comparing it to how I come up with my council salaries and how the NHS has to come up with their salaries, you will find that this position is overpaid for such a small budget and such small numbers of staff," said Mr Osman.
Both Somerset County Council and Devon County Council representatives are expected to vote against the proposals at the meeting being held later.
Monty and Glesni were sitting on the eggs in their nest in the Dyfi Valley, near Machynlleth.
The first chick hatched at around 11:00 BST on Saturday but it is too early for wildlife experts to tell if it is a male or female.
Monty produced two chicks, Cerist and Clarach, with Glesni in 2013.
He has returned to breed at the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust site at Cors Dyfi every year since 2011.
His previous partner, Nora, failed to return from Africa in spring last year.
A spokesman for the Dyfi Osprey Project said: "It is the day we have been waiting for.
"We spotted a tiny crack in the egg and the chick emerged a few hours later. There was hardly a dry eye in the house."
The birds of prey are kept under constant watch at the nesting site where a webcam films their every moment.
They are the only breeding pair of ospreys that can be visited by the public in Wales. A pair has also bred in the Glaslyn Valley, near Porthmadog, since 2004.
Liberty House and a management buyout team will submit separate bids for Tata UK when the deadline closes on Monday.
However, they plan to state in the bid documents that they are willing to work in partnership on a takeover.
It comes after reports the management buyout group, Excalibur Steel, met for talks last week with Liberty.
Excalibur, which is led by a Tata UK executive, plans to offer support for Liberty's bid, while Liberty is set to outline its desire to work with the group, the BBC understands.
Tata put its UK steel assets up for sale earlier this year. In addition to the Port Talbot factory - the UK's largest steelworks - Tata also has sites at Newport and Rotherham.
Stuart Wilkie, who headed up Tata's UK strip steel division and is chief executive of Excalibur, said he could not comment on the proposed tie-up.
"All I know is that we are finalising our own individual bid with our lawyers today, ahead of tomorrow's deadline," he said.
Liberty has a different vision for Port Talbot to Excalibur, which involves replacing its blast furnaces with electric-powered arc furnaces. Liberty declined to comment.
It has been widely reported that after Monday's deadline for bindings bids, the Tata Group will then discuss the offers at a board meeting in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Business Secretary Sajid Javid is set to fly to Mumbai ahead of the sale and has offered to co-invest with a private sector partner to save the Port Talbot steel works.
Liberty, run by steel magnate Sanjeev Gupta, and Excalibur are the only two bidders from the UK steel industry.
Others in the running are: investment firm Greybull, which recently bought Tata's Scunthorpe plant; India's JSW Steel; China's Hebei Iron and Steel Group; and UK turnaround fund Endless.
The Sunday Telegraph reported that US billionaire investor Wilbur Ross has also made it onto the shortlist after submitting a late offer.
United are eight points adrift at the foot of the Scottish Premiership with five games remaining.
"I have a contract and we have spoken about the budgets for next season and I plan accordingly," Paatelainen said.
"There are quite a few issues that need to be sorted, but I won't go public about these things."
Former Finland coach Paatelainen took over at Tannadice in October after the sacking of Jackie McNamara and his side have remained at the foot of the table.
He insists that his players remain "fighting and hopeful" that they can escape relegation and that he has not turned his thoughts to what he would do if United were in the Championship next season.
But the United boss said: "It gives us a chance to maybe make a few changes and have a clean table and build an even stronger base.

"That's how I would - and will - think about it.
"We've had discussions about these things already. There are a few issues we need to correct and touch.
"Whether changes need to be made, that's not always entirely my decision. We want to make sure we are better off no matter if we stay in the Premiership or go down."
United face Hibs in the Scottish Cup semi-final on Saturday at Hampden and Paatelainen insists that he does not view it as an unwelcome distraction.
"Obviously last weekend was a disappointment because we didn't perform," he said of the home defeat by Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
"A couple of results didn't go our way, but they have a chance now to play in a semi-final and get to the final - a glorious opportunity to bounce back and play well.
"We know we have plenty of boys in the dressing-room who will think like that.
"It would give us a boost to look forward to a cup final."
Hibs will themselves head for Hampden having suffered a slump in form during their bid for promotion from the Championship, but Paatelainen stressed that his former club, who beat United 3-0 in the Scottish League Cup quarter-final in November, "have the quality to hurt us".
"They have very good players," he added. "Their squad is fit for the Premiership - and to do well in the top flight.
"That's how good their players are - and they have a good management team."
Scott Hughes is wanted for allegedly being a member of a Liverpool-based organised crime group involved in the large-scale supply of class A drugs.
The 35-year-old, from Halewood in Knowsley, was placed on a most-wanted list in 2011 and was previously thought to be hiding in Spain.
He was arrested at Brussels Airport, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said.
He was travelling from Dubai to Belgium using a false passport and was stopped upon arrival at Brussels Airport.
Dave Allen, head of the NCA's International Crime Bureau, said it was a significant arrest because Hughes was suspected of being a "substantial player" in a crime group responsible for distributing large amounts of drugs across Merseyside.
He said Hughes "believed he could evade capture by moving from country to country using a fraudulent passport, but we were able to track him down and arrest him with the help of the Belgian authorities".
Hughes is the 75th fugitive to be found from the "most wanted" list of 86 issued five years ago through the Operation Captura initiative involving Crimestoppers, the NCA and foreign authorities.
The NCA said extradition proceedings were already underway.
Andy Bell's name will remain on the ballot paper for the election of the new Denny and Banknock councillor.
However, a Labour spokesman said the party had "withdrawn its support".
The Daily Record newspaper reported that Mr Bell had made anti-Catholic remarks on Facebook.
The by-election, taking place on Thursday, was called after SNP ward councillor John McNally was elected MP for Falkirk at May's general election.
A statement from Scottish Labour said: "Andy Bell has been suspended by the Labour Party pending an investigation.
"Although it is too late for Mr Bell to be removed from the ballot, the party has withdrawn any support for him as a by-election candidate."
Proposals that would see groups of up to half a dozen schools under one head have been criticised for a lack of consultation for parents.
Plans for five clusters have been approved by councillors.
Two others involving feeder schools to academies in Farr, Sutherland, and Mallaig have been deferred.
The Mallaig set up involves the clustering of eight feeder schools.
Further consultation is to be done on a cluster involving Kinlochbervie High School.
Approved at a meeting of the council's education committee were the creation of clusters of feeder schools to six secondary schools - Dornoch, Kilchuimen, Lochaber in Fort William, Plockton and Millburn in Inverness.
Education chief Jim Stephen said the move was not about saving money, but about enhancing pupils' education.
The local authority has had issues recruiting head teachers to some schools.
Critics of the plans include Kate Forbes, MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, who said there has been a lack of public consultation.
Charlotte Foster, from Telford, died in January after a thrombosis caused a "massive" embolism in her lungs.
A GP who saw her three weeks before noted no signs of thrombosis.
Miss Foster's mother told the coroner the GP thought the problem was "mechanical" and recommended a massage.
The 23 year old died in hospital three days after collapsing at her workplace.
Celia Foster told the inquest at Shropshire Coroner's Court, her daughter had heart palpitations and had messaged her family on New Year's Eve to say her ribs hurt and that she could not lie down or breathe properly.
She said she accompanied her daughter to an appointment with GP Sunil Simon at his practice in Newport on 4 January.
She said her daughter was angry after the consultation, as he "did not seem to listen to her" and suggested she go for a massage or a spa day, despite her complaining of leg and back pain and tightness in her chest.
In his evidence to the hearing, Dr Simon said he had "no concerns" during the appointment that Miss Foster had been suffering from a pulmonary embolism.
"When I observed Miss Foster during that day, I did not note any signs of respiratory distress or shortness of breath. She did not display any signs of a pulmonary embolism of a deep vein thrombosis," he said.
Miss Foster went into cardiac arrest at work and died at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital on 25 January.
She had been given a three-month prescription of Dianette as a contraceptive and to combat acne in August 2015, having advised her GP of a family history of pulmonary embolism and breast cancer.
She then returned to see a different GP at her surgery in Newport in October and was given a continuing prescription for the drug, having reported no side effects.
Dr Nigel Tuft, a consultant at the Princess Royal Hospital, told the hearing that CT scans had shown she was not suffering from any tumours likely to have caused the pulmonary embolism.
He said he had multiple discussions with her family following her death, and had concluded her only risk factor was that she was taking the oral contraceptive.
Dr Tuft told the inquest: "The most likely site for the pulmonary embolism to arise is in the veins of the pelvis and the upper leg. These can cause no symptoms whatsoever or they can cause symptoms or deep vein thrombosis."
Shropshire coroner, John Ellery, is due to return his conclusion on Miss Foster's death next week.
Another saw Rollins, 25, miss a test to attend 'Brianna Rollins Day' in September in her hometown in Florida.
Rollins, who won 100m hurdles gold in Rio, is banned until 18 December.
She will therefore miss the World Championships in London in August.
"This is one of the most difficult times in my career, especially after having such a great 2016 season," Rollins said in a statement on Instagram.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) says Rollins failed to properly file her whereabouts information for drug testers.
Under World Anti-Doping Agency rules, athletes cannot miss three tests in a 12-month period.
Rollins missed one in April 2016, as she was travelling, and two in September - one when she was visiting the White House and the other when she returned to Florida.
Usada says her results from 27 September - the date of her third whereabouts failure - will be disqualified, meaning the world champion will be allowed to keep the Olympic medal she won in August.
"This is a difficult case because it involves the imposition of a serious penalty on a brilliant athlete who is not charged or suspected of using banned substances of any kind," Usada said in the ruling.
Mr Galloway's former parliamentary assistant Aisha Ali Khan reported him to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority earlier this year.
She has alleged she was required to run personal errands for him.
The former Bradford West MP said the claims were "news to me".
Following an assessment of Ms Ali Khan's claims, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Aurthority (IPSA) compliance officer Peter Davis has passed the case to the Metropolitan Police.
An IPSA spokesman said: "IPSA'S compliance officer has completed his assessment of the George Galloway complaint and has passed it on to the Metropolitan Police Service."
Mr Galloway lost his Bradford West seat at the General Election earlier this month.
Ms Ali Khan alleged that, during her six-month stint as his taxpayer-funded assistant in 2012, she was required to help plan Mr Galloway's wedding, shop for underwear, sort out his laundry, make his breakfast and work for the Viva Palestina charity.
Her lawyers said this amounted to a breach of the requirement to use funds for parliamentary purposes.
In a statement Mr Galloway said: "This is news to me. According to the media IPSA have had a complaint but they haven't informed me who has complained or exactly what the complaint is about.
"And then, without even a call, an email or a letter, they appear to have handed it on to the Met and gone public about it.
"If IPSA's compliance officer has completed some kind of investigation without asking for any response from the person complained about, or even letting him know who has complained and what the complaint is about, then that is surely a breach of natural justice, and undoubtedly inspired by Kafka.
"When I know officially what this is all about I will respond more fully."
The 2012 Olympic lightweight champion stopped Poland's Karina Kopinska in three rounds on her professional debut in London on Saturday.
Taylor's second pro bout will be on the undercard of Briton Anthony Joshua's IBF heavyweight title defence against American Eric Molina in Manchester.
"I can't wait to fight in Manchester on 10 December," said the Irishwoman, 30.
Swiss-based Obenauf, 30, beat Kopinska in her last contest in October and will be expected to provide Taylor with a stiffer challenge.
The Brazilian's only defeat in her 10 professional contests came against recently crowned world featherweight champion Vissia Trovato last November.
Ireland's Taylor, a five-time world and 2012 Olympic champion, was simply in a different class to her Polish opponent in Saturday's contest.
Eleven-time champions Real are aiming to become the first team since AC Milan in 1989 and 1990 to retain the trophy.
Italian side Juventus are looking to win the crown for the third time, while Real can extend their own record.
"We never dreamed of this opportunity but the stats are there," said Spain international defender Ramos.
"It is a wonderful chance to take the cup home, then history speaks for itself. We are extremely excited about the chance to have two successive Champions League trophies.
"We have been very solid. Every time we have had the chance to fight for a trophy, we have done that. We are going to be extremely focused, very concentrated so we make as few mistakes as possible."
Real Madrid won La Liga ahead of Barcelona this season and have scored 169 goals in all competitions this season.
In a repeat of the 1998 final, which the Spaniards won 1-0 in Amsterdam, Real come up against a side who are unbeaten in this season's competition
Boss Zinedine Zidane, who played for opponents Juventus between 1996 and 2001, said: "We know all about pressure at Real Madrid.
"We are not favourites, nor are Juventus. It is 50-50. But we are in the final again, and everything is possible. I expect an open game on both sides.
"I have lived and been at Juventus, in Italy there is the famous Catenaccio, but Juve do not just have that.
"We are going to try to play our game, we know we are going to play against a great team. What everyone who likes football wants to see is to see a great final - and I think we will see that."
Zidane must decide whether to choose between Gareth Bale and Isco in what seems like his only selection issue before Saturday's Champions League final.
Bale has not played since 23 April but is fit, while in-form Isco has scored five goals in his last eight games.
"I am not going to tell you who is going to play on Saturday," said Zidane.
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri also has a fully-fit squad to choose from. His side defeated Monaco 4-1 on aggregate to reach their second final in three seasons.
Real knocked out city rivals Atletico with a 4-2 aggregate win and are looking to defend the title they won last year.
Treble-chasing Juventus clinched a record sixth consecutive Serie A title this season and beat Lazio in the Italian Cup.
Juve have been European Cup winners twice, in 1985 and the last in 1996, but have been defeated finalists on six occasions, most recently against Barcelona two years ago.
They have conceded just three goals in 12 games so far, while Real have scored in every single one of their 12 games - a total of 32 goals.
Manager Allegri said: "We have worked hard all year and the wins this season have been all about reaching this game. But on Saturday we need to win and we need to understand when will be the moments to attack and when to defend.
"We have to have the belief that we can bring the cup home and we have to be fiendish to strike when Real offer us an opening."
Former Juventus full-back Gianluca Zambrotta told BBC World Service:
Massimiliano Allegri has done a great job at Juventus and has continued the work of Antonio Conte since arriving in Turin in 2014. He has been able to create a strong team spirit and is currently one of the best managers in Europe.
I had the privilege of playing alongside Zinedine Zidane in Italy for two years. He was a fantastic player with amazing technical skills and a strong personality. I was his room mate in hotels before games so I had an opportunity to know him very well.
I expected him to be a great manager because he has all the skills to do the job. I did not expect him to achieve great results so soon though. He has been doing an excellent job for Real Madrid.
Juventus full-back Dani Alves, 34, could win the competition for the fourth time, while 39-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is looking to triumph for the first time and in turn become the oldest winner of the tournament.
Alves, who played in that match for the La Liga side, said: "A player as important and big as Gigi, to not have this trophy, it would not really change much in his career but it would add one more page to his wonderful football history if he won. To win the title with him would be quite something for me before he retires.
"I am not a person who thinks about himself. If everything around me is fine, then I am fine too. The objective is for the whole team to win and for me to be up to the level of my colleagues."

World Cup winner Buffon announced in January 2016 that he will retire from football after the 2018 World Cup and this may be his last shot at winning Europe's elite club competition.
He said: "Dani is a bit like me, he is an optimist. He told me 'I will make you win the Champions League' and he has been a revelation for me. Real Madrid are used to winning finals, we have lost quite a number of them. It is a good match and we will try to overturn our record.
"The emotions I might feel may be different to a younger player. Dani has won this competition and has four or five years left in his career but I have to exclude this possibility. Yes, it will be much more special for me, but I want to play without regrets and without thinking of these issues."
Italian football might have looked very different over the last two decades if an impressionable 12-year-old had not been captivated by the Cameroon goalkeeper at the 1990 World Cup.
Buffon played as an attacker back then but the performances of Thomas N'Kono - playing in his third World Cup - inspired him to try life as a goalkeeper.

The award-winning British actress will take part in a special Shakespeare episode, marking the 400th anniversary of the death of the playwright.
Alongside John Craven, Dame Judi filmed a report in which she followed in the footsteps of Shakespeare's touring players, The King's Men, who travelled the countryside performing his plays.
"I'm a huge fan of Countryfile. It was lovely to be part of it," she said.
"It was wonderful to learn that Shakespeare had toured with his company."
Dame Judi made her professional debut as Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet.
For the special programme, she and Craven embarked on a journey by foot and by boat to discover where Shakespeare may have performed, looking into documents from the time.
"In my long career few things have topped the experience of standing in a 16th century hall where Shakespeare's touring company once played and doing a bit of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet with Dame Judi Dench," Craven said.
"She was a delightful companion as we traced the Bard's journey by foot and boat through rural Kent and her lifelong passion for Shakespeare's work really shone through. She's great fun, too."
Countryfile's Shakespeare special airs on 24 April at 7pm on BBC One. | Police have urged fans of the last flying Vulcan bomber aircraft to avoid watching it at an airport in Doncaster.

Chelsea, Robben's former club, went on to win the final in Munich on penalties after the midfielder missed a spot-kick in extra time.
The Dutchman said: "It was a terrible penalty kick. I wanted to shoot the ball hard and high in the goal but the ball didn't go high enough.
"I can't describe how I feel with words but it's been a terrible night."
In April, Arjen Robben also missed a penalty in Bayern Munich's 1-0 defeat in the Bundesliga against Borussia Dortmund, which was a crucial match in the title race.
Robben had his chance from the spot when Didier Drogba fouled Franck Ribery inside the box, but Petr Cech saved his kick.
He was consoled by Drogba and Uefa president Michel Platini after Bayern's 4-3 shootout defeat after the game had finished 1-1 draw after extra time.
"The fact that Drogba and Platini tried to cheer me up was nice, but it's worth nothing," Robben said. "I wanted that cup but it didn't happen."
Bayern manager Jupp Heynckes backed Robben for not taking one of his side's five spot-kicks in the shoot-out.
"You can understand if he didn't score the penalty in extra-time that he may have lost some self-confidence to participate in the penalty shoot-out," added Heynckes.
"That is quite easy to see."
Robben added: "After that, I still played well but you have to change your mindset at that point." | Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben admitted his missed penalty in the Champions League final was "terrible". | 18,136,125 | 365 | 26 | false |
Vauxhall station has been closed and several buildings were evacuated.
The crash happened in a busy part of London at the height of the morning rush hour and was witnessed by many residents, workers and commuters.
Here people describe what they saw and heard.
Steve Carslake told BBC Five Live he saw the aircraft hit the crane after he got out of a van in Mill Street.
He said: "We heard a mighty bang, looked up and saw the helicopter just catch the edge of the crane.
"It didn't hit the tower block itself, it hit the crane and then just came down in a fireball. We ran round the corner. There was a great big lot of black smoke everywhere and there was a couple of cars.
"We heard someone was actually trapped in the car. We went to run towards the car and there was just a large explosion again.
"It was quite devastating to watch, I'm afraid. It was very, very sad to watch."
Drew Lovell was in his van on the way to picking up waste bins in St George Wharf when he heard the helicopter hit the crane.
"I heard the helicopter and it was absolutely deafening. It sounded like it was above the van so I reversed it up and got out," he said.
"I heard a massive big bang. I could hear the rotas going then suddenly nothing. I looked again - it was like slow motion - and there was a massive plume of black smoke, so I jumped out of the van and ran across.
"It was carnage, absolute carnage.
"There was a guy walking towards me, he'd just made it through bridge and he was smouldering. He must have been thrown off the motorcycle. He was worried about his motorcycle as it was leaking oil on the floor.
"I tried to help him, his back was on fire, the back of his coat was melted."
Mark Osbourne, from Metropolis Motorcycles, a bike shop near the scene, said he ran to try to help the injured.
"There was lots of wreckage and fire," he said. "I saw a woman on a motorcycle that must have missed the carnage by six feet. It felt like a war movie, it was surreal.
"The police arrived within minutes so the response was excellent."
Loughborough MP Nicky Morgan told BBC News: "I was walking towards Vauxhall tube station from Lambeth Palace area where I have a flat.
"There was suddenly an enormous bang - I thought something exploded. It was coming from beyond Vauxhall Tube station.
"Then clouds and clouds of black smoke. I presumed what it was I heard was the crane collapsing or the helicopter crashing into it. I heard the bang then saw the clouds of smoke but there was too much in the way to see much at that point."
Michael Gavin, who was waiting for a train on a platform at Vauxhall station, said: "I heard the bang - the top of the crane was obscured by the fog so I did not see the impact but I did see the helicopter falling to the ground along with pieces of the crane.
"It was really quite shocking - there was a group of us on the platform waiting. We could not see where it hit because it was blocked by a wall at the end of the station.
"There was a lot of worried people around. I must have been on one of the last trains to get out.
"There was a lot of smoke for about 15 minutes."
Market worker Andrew Ross said: "I was going about my business at work and I saw a helicopter.
"I heard a loud bang and I saw this helicopter falling out of the sky.
"Then I heard a loud bang and an orange glow and lots of smoke coming up.
"It was flying below cloud cover - it was still foggy and a little bit dark.
"There was just a loud bang then the helicopter just fell out of the sky.
"I can see part of the crane on the building hanging down."
Angela Henderson was also on a train platform at Vauxhall.
She said: "I was walking on the platform looking up at the tower and noticing the top was shrouded in mist.
"As I was looking up I heard a massive sound - I thought [it] must be a bomb.
"What really struck me was what fell down. I saw a huge cylindrical object - it looked like a Zeppelin. A huge object plummeted to the ground and as it landed it was surrounded by debris.
"Then it was just silence and everybody ran to the edge of the platform.
"There was a huge bang then we saw a huge plume of smoke just getting bigger and bigger."
Electrician Rob Easton said: "I was working in the arches. I heard an almighty bang.
"I saw the reflection in buildings of a lot of smoke then I went down to the side gate and there was a fireball in the road.
"People were panicking and they were evacuating buildings nearby."
The pair came together at 49-3 after openers Alastair Cook and Alex Hales failed and Joe Root fell for 24.
They showed resilience and patience to each make a half century before Taylor (70) became Dale Steyn's third victim.
Compton was unbeaten on 63 as England closed on 179-4.
Rain and then bad light meant only 65 overs were possible during the day.
It means an early start on day two is possible, with good weather forecast for the remainder of the Test.
And all five days are likely to be needed if there is to be a result on a slow, flat wicket that offers little for the bowlers and rewards diligent batting.
Compton's last Test appearance came in May 2013 in the second match of the home series against New Zealand, after which he was dropped as a result of a fourth straight failure with the bat.
However, successive Test hundreds in New Zealand two months earlier had demonstrated his ability, something he underlined by scoring 1,123 runs for Middlesex in last season's County Championship.
Taylor had endured a similarly lengthy exile from the Test side from August 2012 before a combination of domestic form and consistent impressive displays in the England one-day side prompted a Test recall against Pakistan in November.
Initially, they had to repel the South African attack before steadily building a partnership and while they never truly took the game to the home side, their comfort grew as the ball aged.
Taylor was the more aggressive, scoring his 70 runs from 137 balls, in contrast to Compton's 63 from 41 balls more.
Unfortunately, Taylor was unable to survive the day and give himself a chance of a maiden Test century as Steyn had the final word shortly before the close.
Steyn missed the last three Tests of South Africa's recent series defeat in India with a groin problem, but was declared fully fit for this series, much to the concern of England, who are without their own attack leader - James Anderson - for this Test through injury.
With fellow seamer Vernon Philander ruled out of the first and second Tests with an ankle problem, the presence of Steyn is vital for the Proteas and his two early wickets put England on the back foot.
Just 6.1 overs were managed at the start of the day before play was halted because of the weather but in that time England lost their captain as Steyn brushed off his seven-week absence to nip one away from Cook and find an edge that carried to Dean Elgar at second slip.
And in Steyn's resumed over after the break, during which lunch was taken, Hales fuelled the detractors who feel he is ill-suited to opening in Test cricket with a loose shot outside his off stump that nicked the ball to keeper AB de Villiers.
Such is the 32-year-old's class, even after a day of toiling in the field, he was still able to muster a last burst of pace to have the final say, dismissing Taylor courtesy of a thin edge to De Villiers from an attempted back-foot drive to leave the bowler with figures of 3-29.

Brendan Cox, whose wife was shot and stabbed in her Batley and Spen constituency on June 16, told BBC Radio Four's Today programme her murder failed in its aim to push people apart.
He urged people to take part in a nationwide event to mark the anniversary of the MP's death.
The Great Get Together will see scores of picnics and community events held.
More on this story and others in West Yorkshire
Mr Cox said: "It was a weird election for me because last time, two years ago, I was with her at the count.
"It was a huge moment of excitement, something that she had aspired to do and this moment of personal satisfaction, excitement about all of the things she might go on and do.
"This one felt very empty just on a very personal level."
He went on: "I think overall she would have been hugely excited that the Labour Party was doing much better than she probably would have anticipated it doing."
The Great Get Together event is expected to be similar the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, when more than eight million people took part in neighbourhood street parties.
Mr Cox, who has written a book called More in Common about his wife, said: "She had this huge enthusiasm, this zest for life, driven by this amazing empathy for people, whether you were a Syrian refugee or an older person in her constituency.
"Jo's killing was designed to divide communities and it's failed in doing that; it's actually brought Jo's community much closer together."
The 41-year-old was shot and stabbed multiple times by right-wing extremist Thomas Mair, who was later handed a whole-life prison sentence for her murder.
Mindaugas Knyza, 37, squirted the sauce and threw chips in the Hungry Knight fast food restaurant in Sneem, County Kerry, for 15 minutes.
Knyza pleaded guilty, but avoided a conviction, after agreeing to pay €500 (£370) to a court poor box.
"I ordered chips - I don't know what happened," he said, appearing to shrug his shoulders.
The judge said: "Nobody wants to hire a chef with a conviction - especially for squirting tomato and mustard sauce all over the place."
Police were called to the incident on 20 September, last year.
Knyza, a resident of Sneem Holiday Village, told the court he worked as a chef at a hotel.
The judge said Knyza appeared to be "blasé" about the charge.
He warned him that he should consider making a contribution to the court poor box to avoid a conviction.
The judge adjourned the matter briefly and Knyza decided to consult with his solicitor.
He then offered €500 to the court and this was accepted.
The judge gave him until next October to pay.
Shauna Hoare said she heard Becky "stomping down the stairs" and the front door slam at her home in Crown Hill, St George, Bristol.
Ms Hoare, 21, said she and her boyfriend, Becky's stepbrother, Nathan Matthews, 28, visited the house on 19 February - the day she disappeared.
Becky's body was later found cut into pieces. The pair deny murdering her.
Bristol Crown Court was played a police interview, recorded before Ms Hoare's arrest, in which she described arriving at Becky's house with Mr Matthews at about 11:00 GMT before letting themselves in.
The jury was told Ms Hoare heard music playing from Becky's upstairs bedroom, so assumed she was in, and then headed outside for a cigarette.
"I heard stomping down the stairs. That's what made me think Becky left in a mood," she said, before recalling the sound of the front door slamming.
"I assumed she was in one of her tantrums," she added.
The prosecution allege Becky was killed at the house that morning, some time before her stepmother Anjie Galsworthy arrived back from a hospital appointment.
Mr Matthews has admitted the manslaughter of his stepsister but insists his girlfriend had no part in it.
He has admitted storing body parts in a garden shed at a Bristol address.
The jury also heard from Benjamin Fairley, the manager of Donovan Demetrius who denies assisting an offender.
Mr Fairley told the court Mr Demetrius, 29, of Marsh Lane, Redfield, appeared "more tired than normal" at the Home Bargain Store in Brislington on 24 February.
The prosecution say Becky's body parts were moved in the early hours of 24 February from Ms Hoare and Mr Matthews' home to another address nearby, in Barton Court, where Donovan Demetrius was staying at the time.
Donovan Demetrius and another man, James Ireland, deny involvement.
Donovan's brother Karl and Karl's girlfriend Jaydene Parsons, who lived at Barton Court, have pleaded guilty to assisting an offender, but say they did not know what was in the bags stored in their shed.
The trial continues.
If there was a top 10 of education stories in the life of this Parliament, it would be hard to think of anything bigger than the ferocious dispute over raising tuition fees.
There were riots in the streets and rebellions among MPs. There was unprecedented interest in what had been the backwater of higher education funding.
But then it all went quiet. No one seemed to want to disturb the sleeping dragon.
The calm seems to be being broken, as universities are rapidly emerging as a political battleground, with competing visions.
Political parties like to align themselves with people's aspirations - and for more families than ever universities are a significant aspiration.
One lesson of the fee increase has been that there is a deep-rooted, rising demand for higher education. Despite trebling fees, after a brief dip, applications are almost undiminished, with every sign of long-term growth.
Record numbers will be starting university this autumn.
But alongside this big social change there is anxiety about affordability.
This week Labour has called for a more diverse higher education system, with more options for young people who do not want a traditional three year academic degree.
There are proposals for technical universities, promoting links with industrial research, where people can "learn while they earn".
Universities spokesman Liam Byrne has raised the spirit of the 1960s and the "white heat of technology", setting out a higher education system which would harness the hi-tech digital industries to support a high-wage economy.
The Conservatives are also making a strong play on higher education, positioning themselves as the party of university expansion.
They have announced plans to scrap limits on university places, tapping into the ambitions of parents for their children.
Alongside these optimistic plans is the much tougher and still unanswered question about what will happen to tuition fees.
Labour's last position was to reduce fees to £6,000. There might be some more clarity on this at the party conference - and maybe an even bolder position on reducing fees further in the longer term.
But any such reduction will produce a growl of concern from universities who will worry about a looming funding gap.
The Conservative plan to remove the limit on university places is also worrying universities, who are concerned that it will mean more students with same funding being stretched more thinly.
And would a move to a less regulated market in places mean a less regulated market in fees? There are already rumblings that top universities would like to be able to charge much more than the £9,000 limit.
It isn't just the headline figure that will need to be reconsidered. The repayment terms on student loans are an important part of the jigsaw.
In the angry battle over raising tuition fees there were strenuous efforts to damp down the impact.
And it might be that this current phase of £9,000 fees on generous terms will be seen as something of a phoney war - and that a much tougher set of repayment terms will apply to future students.
Such debates are much more difficult territory for the Lib Dems, who became the lightning rods for so much of the anger over tuition fees.
But the future of universities, as a touchstone of opportunity and ambition, looks like it could be an increasingly important dividing line.
Ioane Teitiota, 39, has argued that rising sea levels in his homeland meant his family would not be safe there.
His lawyer, Michael Kidd, told the BBC: "He's very disappointed obviously, he wants to be back in New Zealand."
Kiribati is among several low-lying Pacific nations threatened by climate change-linked problems.
These include storm surges, flooding and water contamination.
Mr Teitiota's wife and their three New Zealand-born children also face deportation and are likely to leave next week, reported local media.
"They said we are overstayers but we are not. We are trying to find a better life for the kids," his wife Angua Erika told Radio New Zealand.
Mr Teitiota's children are not entitled to New Zealand citizenship.
Mr Teitiota had been in New Zealand since 2007 but overstayed his visa and was caught in 2011.
His deportation on Wednesday night follows a failed appeal against a New Zealand high court decision that he could not be a refugee as he was not being persecuted. The United Nations describes a refugee as someone who faces persecution at home.
Mr Teitiota's appeal was dismissed in July. He was taken into police custody last week ahead of his deportation.
Mr Kidd said that Mr Teitiota was planning to appeal for help from the United Nations's refugee agency.
His lawyers have argued in court that he and his family would suffer harm if forced to return to Kiribati because of the combined pressures of over-population and rising sea levels, and that he would be "persecuted passively" by the circumstances there.
Prime Minister John Key said this week that Mr Teitiota had overstayed and that his argument lacked credibility.

Britain had trailed 2-0 after the first day in Glasgow, but doubles victory on Saturday was followed by a singles win for Andy Murray on Sunday.
Dan Evans won the first set of the deciding match but Leonardo Mayer fought back to win 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-4.
Argentina will travel to Croatia for the final in November.
It is the fifth time Argentina have reached the final as they attempt to win the title for the first time.
Britain, who won the Davis Cup for the first time in 79 years 10 months ago, must wait for Wednesday's draw to see which nation they will face in the 2017 first round in February.
"It never feels good losing, of course it doesn't, but no regrets," GB captain Leon Smith told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We just asked the guys to go out and fight their hardest - the Argentines over the course of the weekend just played that little bit better and got the wins that were needed."
There was intrigue well before the first ball was struck on Sunday, with rumours circulating that Juan Martin del Potro would not play in a potential deciding fifth match as he nurses his body back from serious injury.
After Murray beat Guido Pella 6-3 6-2 6-3 to level the tie at 2-2, it was confirmed that Argentina's star man would sit out the final rubber and be replaced by world number 114 Mayer.
"We had to keep it to ourselves until the last moment so Great Britain were thinking a little bit, but we knew from last night that Mayer would play," said Argentina captain Daniel Orsanic.
Evans, the world number 56, had been expected to come in for Kyle Edmund, who was named in the original line-up on Friday, and fresh from a superb run at the US Open he had every reason to be optimistic.
That feeling only grew among the 8,000 home fans as Evans won the first set impressively, but Mayer then simply took over with some magnificent serving.
His lowly ranking was misleading, a shoulder injury having caused him to plummet from inside the top 40 six months ago, but his form had clearly returned as he made 20 of 24 first serves to level at one set all.
The 29-year-old then backed it up with some huge returning to win the third set, by which point it was the 400 travelling Argentine fans making most of the noise in the Emirates Arena.
Evans held on in a 12-minute opening service game to the fourth set, but Mayer broke for a 3-2 lead and coolly served out to love for his ninth consecutive Davis Cup singles victory.
"I am very emotional," said Mayer. "I haven't been able to play because of injury so I am delighted to be back on form.
"I do not know what it is about the Davis Cup it brings out the best in me."

Murray, 29, suffered an injury scare in the third set of his win over Pella and was off court for eight minutes as he received treatment on his thigh, but the Scot returned to clinch victory.
He did not face a break point over the course of two hours and 11 minutes but was stretched more than the straightforward score might suggest, with Pella testing the Wimbledon champion's energy levels.
It appeared that the tactic might bear fruit after Murray missed an early break point in the third set, and then pulled up with obvious pain in his leg.
Trainer Shane Annun took his man off court and, while walking gingerly between points, Murray was more focused than ever on the resumption, winning five of the last six games.
"I have a lot of sharp pain in my right quad," he said. "I have to go and see what's up and get some treatment. I need a break. I have played so much tennis, my body needs some rest."
Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent: "Britain's hopes of winning back-to-back titles for the first time since the 1930s were ended by the better team. Three different players won singles points for Argentina, with only the Murray brothers contributing for Britain, and that ultimately was the difference.
"Del Potro's fatigue meant Mayer was the strongest option for the final rubber, and captain Orsanic deployed his resources very shrewdly throughout the weekend."
The company admitted water pollution and other offences at sewage facilities in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
One fisherman lost thousands and went out of business because the pollution killed his crayfish, Aylesbury Crown Court heard.
Fish and birds died following the spills in 2013 and 2014.
Aylesbury Crown Court heard on Friday that the spills resulted in hundreds of dead fish, fewer dragon flies, overflowing manholes and sewage spilling into nature reserves.
Environmental damage was caused in the riverside towns of Henley and Marlow.
There were also reports of nappies and other sewage debris spilling into the Thames.
The four Thames Water Utilities Ltd sewage treatment works where the spills occurred were Aylesbury, Didcot, Henley and Little Marlow.
The other site is a large sewage pumping system in Littlemore in Oxford.
Blackwell, 26, needed surgery to reduce swelling on his brain after the session on 22 November, despite no longer having a licence to fight.
Karkardi, 29, sparred with Blackwell and Wilkins oversaw the session at the boxing club in Devizes, Wiltshire.
Blackwell was taken to hospital in March after losing to Chris Eubank Jr.
He spent a week in an induced coma after suffering a bleed on the skull during the British middleweight title contest. Blackwell announced his retirement soon after recovering.
The Trowbridge fighter collected his British Boxing Board of Control trainer's licence in October, after encouragement from his former trainer Gary Lockett.
He was due to be in the corner of Liam Williams for the Welsh light-middleweight's victory over Gabor Gorbics in Cardiff last month.
The two blocks of six and seven storeys will be built between Belfast Metropolitan College and the Public Records Office for Northern Ireland.
The proposal also includes over 14,000 sq m of space for research and development.
The minister, Mark H Durkan, said the development would provide "much needed" high specification office space.
He added: "It is anticipated that once completed this building will accommodate 2,000 workers at this highly desirable waterfront location.
"Having this in place should help attract investment and encourage further job creation."
The US bank Citigroup occupies a substantial amount of office space in Titanic Quarter but it is not clear if a tenant has been identified for the new development.
High-end office space in Belfast has been dwindling as little development has taken place in the aftermath of the property crash.
However some new development is now beginning to take place.
Belfast Harbour Commission is currently developing office space in a project known as City Quays 1.
Bowlish Infants School in Shepton Mallet was evacuated and homes and businesses in Croscombe were also deluged.
The River Sheppey in Croscombe burst its banks flooding a pub and nearby homes in the centre of the village.
The heavy rain also forced the A371 to be closed between Shepton Mallet and Wells.
The Environment Agency said a storm cloud passing over the Shepton Mallet area caused the flooding, when 30mm of rain fell in the space of 30 minutes.
Bowlish House Hotel owner Chris Ashleigh said: "The school informed us at about 10:15 that the fire service told them the river was about to burst its banks and there would be a lot of activity outside the hotel with parents collecting their children.
"Rather than have them out on the road we suggested they were brought inside.
"We've had about 60 to 70 children - they all sat down in the sitting room and dining room and they've all been very well behaved."
Somerset County Council sent a structural engineer to inspect a wall near the school which is holding back floodwater. The school will remain closed on Thursday as a precaution.
A small section of the river wall in Croscombe was hammered down by a local resident to drain the water away.
Local resident, Peter Baron, said: "There was about two foot of water on the road and so some citizens turned up with their sledgehammers and bashed the wall down, a big water spout appeared and the road cleared quickly after that."
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue said heavy rainfall had also affected parts of Wookey, such as Church Street which was under 2ft (60cm) of water in places earlier.
A spokesman for the fire service said crews had attended several properties to pump out water and to clear debris from roads.
Earlier heavy rainfall left some roads in Wookey and Shepton Mallet, such as Cannards Grave Road in Shepton under water, but this has now cleared.
The head teacher of Bowlish Infants School said it would remain closed on Thursday.
Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Vincent Uzomah said he prayed "God, don't let me die" as he ran to look for help after being stabbed in the stomach.
The boy - who cannot be named - has been sentenced to 11 years detention for the attack at Dixons Kings Academy in Bradford on 11 June.
Mr Uzomah, 50, said he was still too traumatised to return to teaching.
"I was just thinking is it my time to die? Is this my last hour? I didn't say goodbye to my wife, my little kids," he said.
The boy racially abused the father-of-three before stabbing him with a kitchen knife he had brought to school.
Mr Uzomah said he did not realise what had happened until he saw the knife being pulled out from his stomach.
"I looked around for help and there was nobody around. I felt if I stayed in the classroom probably the worst would happen and I started feeling cold inside so I held it tightly and started running towards the reception.
"I just prayed 'God, don't let me die'. I was really frightened."
At the boy's sentencing, Bradford Crown Court heard how the teenager had discussed the attack with a friend beforehand and later made "sick" boasts about his actions on Facebook.
Mr Uzomah later criticised those people who had "liked" a status update from his attacker on the social networking site, which contained the line, "I stick a blade straight in his tummy".
He said: "It makes me feel like the society is drifting away from the normal way of life and if things are not really put into place to correct this, it will keep on getting worse."
But Mr Uzomah said although the attack had caused him and his family pain, he still felt some sympathy for the boy and had forgiven him.
He admitted that he was still too frightened to return to work, despite his passion for teaching.
"The way I'm feeling at the moment, I don't think I could step into the classroom. But I believe with time I will get over it," he said.
"If I go to the park and see some kids who look similar to the boy that stabbed me, for sure it's there. I feel the need to protect myself. It is really not a good feeling."
The boy was handed an 11-year extended sentence, which includes six years' detention and five years on licence.
He admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent but denied attempted murder.
Under the deal, it will invest 276m euro in ASML to develop tools to make smaller, more cost-effective chips.
This comes just weeks after Intel signed a similar agreement with ASML.
Dutch firm ASML makes machines used to print circuit patterns onto chips.
Shang-yi Chiang, TSMC's co-chief operating officer, said that one of the biggest challenges facing the industry was "how to effectively control the escalating wafer manufacturing cost".
He said the co-investment programme with ASML to develop future technology will help keep the costs in check in the long run.
The Taiwanese chipmaker will also invest 838m euro to acquire a 5% stake in the firm.
TSMC said that it was hopeful that an increased investment in research will help ASML develop equipment that can handle a larger size of circular wafers from which chips are cut.
Chipmakers across the globe have been trying to increase the size of the wafers to 450mm, from the current size of 300mm.
The shift in the size of these wafers is expected to result in substantial cost savings for the chipmakers as more chips can be cut from them.
"The transition from one wafer size to the next has historically delivered a 30 to 40% reduction in die cost and we expect the shift from today's standard 300mm wafers to larger 450mm wafers to offer similar benefits," Brian Krzanich, Intel's chief operating officer said after the firm signed its agreement with ASML.
"The faster we do this, the sooner we can gain the benefit of productivity improvements, which creates tremendous value for customers and shareholders."
At the same time, TSMC and Intel have both said that their investment ASML will also help in faster development of extreme ultraviolet lithography, a new way of printing circuit patterns onto silicon wafers.
The technique is considered by many analysts as key to further reduction in the size of the chips.
London's mayor had argued that giving Transport for London (TfL) control of trains was the only way to improve the "shocking" passenger service.
But Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said he only wants TfL to be "closely involved" in developing services.
Mr Grayling has announced a major overhaul of England's railways.
Earlier this year the government indicated that services operated by Southern, Southeastern and South West trains could be devolved to London's transport agency once the current franchises end.
"The government needs to pull their finger out and get on with the task of devolving the suburban trains to TfL," Mr Khan said.
"That would lead to fewer cancellations, fewer delays and my fares freeze being extended," he said.
"We will keep pushing the government to deliver the rail devolution they have promised and that is needed."
The overhaul announced by the transport secretary will see franchises run by joint management teams involving operating companies and Network Rail.
Mr Grayling said he expected the Southeastern franchise, which the mayor had hoped to takeover in 2018, will be one of the first to have an "integrated operating team".
But he said a TfL representative will be invited to join "the franchise specification team" to be "more closely involved" in its development.
The Transport Secretary has told Sadiq Khan he's not convinced the mayor should take over suburban train services through south east London.
Chris Grayling says he's not ready to transfer the South Eastern franchise to Transport for London.
Instead, he plans to make the new franchise one of the first where there's closer integration with Network Rail over maintenance and services.
The mayor's been asked to be "closely involved" in planning for the future on suburban routes through south east London.
Effectively the door has not been closed to TfL taking over the franchise, but the mayor's role for now is being seen as advisory.
Healthcare Inspectorate Wales said bulky files had been too big to be filed in a trolley on the gynaecology ward at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire.
Hospital bosses have given assurances that action has been taken since the unannounced visit.
The pair were interviewed by detectives investigating a suspected slave labour racket operated in the city.
Details emerged as a planned bail application by a man accused of playing a central role was put on hold.
Zoltan Raffael, 39, denies three counts of human trafficking and three of acting as an unlicensed gang master.
He is further accused of money laundering.
The charges relate to two women and a man allegedly trafficked earlier this summer.
Mr Raffael, who is originally from Hungary but with an address at Eia Street in Belfast, was arrested after voluntarily handing himself into police last month.
He was said to have provided a full account at interview.
A 38-year-old woman charged with similar offences is currently on police bail ahead of her first scheduled court appearance next month.
On Thursday, Mr Raffael's barrister sought to adjourn his bid to be released amid attempts to ensure he has no contact with the co-accused.
The barrister told Belfast Magistrates' Court: "This is a very serious allegation of people trafficking from Europe to the United Kingdom and then Northern Ireland for the purposes effectively of slave labour."
He also disclosed: "There are two further potential alleged victims of this potential people trafficking enterprise who have come forward that police want to speak to.
"I can see that causing problems for a court determining bail."
A detective involved in the investigation confirmed the development in the case.
"There were another two (alleged) victims being interviewed this week," she said.
The officer also stressed police will "strongly object" to Raffael being granted bail.
Agreeing to the adjournment application, the judge listed the case for a further update next week.
Burke joined Leicestershire on a season-long loan deal in January, but his only appearance came against Loughborough University in March.
In 13 first-class games for Somerset and Surrey, the 26-year-old has scored 274 runs and taken 23 wickets at an average of 30.60.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my career at Surrey," he told the club website.
The Black Health Initiative in Leeds says midwives from Africa are being flown into the country to carry out the illegal practice.
West Yorkshire Police said they were aware girls were being subjected to FGM locally.
Latest NHS figures show more than 8,000 women across England have recently been identified as being victims of FGM.
FGM is an illegal practice in the UK and carries a sentence of up to 14 years in jail. It is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the partial or total removal of the female external genitalia, for non medical reasons.
Heather Nelson, Chief Executive of the Black Health Initiative, said: "We know of parties happening here in England, and in West Yorkshire we recently had to break one up, and we've stopped another from taking place.
"What we're finding now is that where once girls were taken abroad to be cut, specialist midwives are now flown over and several girls are cut at the same time, which then leads to a celebration."
The charity said it had a referral from a school in Leeds last week regarding an eight-year-old girl who they thought was playing truant.
"In fact she was disappearing from class because it took her an hour to go to the toilet, such was the pain she was experiencing," Ms Nelson said.
"People will say why don't you call the police if you hear about one of these parties? But when you call the police you find that not every officer has an awareness of what FGM is."
West Yorkshire Police said they were aware that women and girls in Yorkshire had been subjected to the act of FGM.
Ass Ch Con Russ Foster said: "We are doing everything we can to tackle this issue and it is vital that all our partners continue to work together to make a difference."
The force said it had no "specific intelligence" about FGM "parties" taking place.
Areas in England with the highest number of recorded FGM victims include Birmingham, Bristol, London and Manchester.
'I don't feel like a woman'
Fatima, from Sheffield, was subjected to FGM when she was 10 years old while living in Africa.
"One day my auntie came to our house to take me to the place where they were going to cut me, and when we got there five women pinned me down.
"Afterwards I got an infection and that means now I can't have children.
"I don't feel like a woman because I can't feel anything. Everyday I think about it and it makes me very angry."
A recent report by the Home Affairs Select Committee said it was a "national scandal" that no one in the UK had ever been successfully prosecuted for a FGM offence.
There are no definitive figures that detail exactly how many women in England have actually been a victim of FGM.
A study by the City University of London published in 2015 estimated there were 137,000 women who have been subjected to the practice in England and Wales.
Meanwhile, NHS Digital began collating data in April 2015 about the number of women and girls coming into contact with the NHS who have been a victim of FGM at some point in their lives.
These figures show that 8,718 women have been identified as FGM victims, with 68 females saying the procedure had been carried out in the UK.

Gray originally had until Wednesday to reply to the Football Association, but now has until 5 September.
One tweet from the 25-year-old striker's account appeared to condone killing gay people.
The tweets from four years ago were posted when Gray was playing for non-league Hinckley United.
Gray, who is charged with bringing the game into disrepute, has apologised and asked "for forgiveness" for the posts, insisting he is now a "completely different person" and did not "hold the beliefs written in those tweets".
The posts, which also contained offensive terms, were deleted soon after being highlighted.

The Chiefs led 10-6 at half time, but 14 points from Dan Biggar and a try from former Exeter player Josh Matavesi saw the Welsh side get the win.
"Sometimes what a team needs when it's on a winning run is a loss to give it a kick in the pants, and we've royally received a kick in the pants," he said.
"I've no doubt that we'll bounce back from this, we're a good side."
The defeat ended an excellent run for the Chiefs, which has seen them move up to second in the Premiership after bonus-point wins over London Irish and Newcastle, as well as victory over fellow high-flyers Leicester.
"That wasn't an Exeter Chiefs performance," Baxter added on BBC Radio Devon.
"We didn't look full of verve, full of fight and full of steely discipline, we got a little bit ragged a little too often and ultimately we paid the price.
"For a large part of the game it should have been the Ospreys under pressure with the scoreboard like that, but we never played like they were the team under pressure, we looked like the team under pressure for the whole game."
The 30-year-old Ireland international will leave Surrey at the end of the season after 11 years at the club.
"I am keen to play a part as a senior player in ensuring that the squad's potential is turned into success on the field," Wilson told the club website.
"There's a lot of talent at the club and they are learning and improving all the time."
A five-day campaign was launched last week by King Abdullah with a $5.3m (£3.3m) donation, but it was extended after donations continued to pour in.
State media report that people are donating both in cash and in kind, including medical equipment and cars.
More than 122,000 people have fled Syria since March 2011, while a million have been displaced inside the country.
In June, the UN appealed for $189m to help it provide six months of food, medical assistance and support for basic services for those inside Syria, and another $193 for refugees in neighbouring states.
However, earlier this month the Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said both appeals were only 20% funded.
The Saudi government has called on President Bashar al-Assad to step down and is believed to be funding and backing the rebel Free Syrian Army.
Of 78 samples of the herb, 19 contained ingredients like olive or myrtle leaves, researchers found.
The study, for consumer group Which? revealed that in some cases, less than a third was oregano.
"Much better controls are needed," said lead author Prof Chris Elliott of the Global Institute of Food Security.
Prof Elliott examined dried oregano sold at a range of shops in the UK and Ireland and from online retailers.
The team used a technique called mass spectrometry to identify the make-up of the samples.
Some contained between 30% and 70% of other ingredients.
"Clearly we have identified a major problem and it may well reflect issues with other herbs and spices that enter the British Isles through complex supply chains," said Prof Elliott.
Consumers need much better protection "from heavily contaminated products," he added.
Prof Elliott blamed the complexity of food supply systems for the problem and suggested a lot of food may not be what consumers think it is.
"It particularly happens with things that come from far away places and with many different people interacting in the supply chains, they do tend to be very, very vulnerable," he told BBC Radio 5 live's Breakfast programme.
In a government-commissioned report, published in the wake of the 2013 horse meat scandal, Prof Elliott called for a national food crime prevention network to help protect consumers from food fraud.
In separate work last year in conjunction with Which? he found 40% of lamb takeaway meals contained other meat and one in six of the fish it bought from chip shops was not what had been ordered
Which? described the findings as "the latest in a long line of food frauds" which it has revealed and has shared them with the Food Standards Agency.
Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: "It's impossible for any shopper to tell, without the help of scientists, what herbs they're actually buying.
"Retailers, producers and enforcement officers must step up checks to stamp out food fraud."
The Food Standards Agency said it would follow up the results of the Which? survey with the UK food businesses concerned, adding that an investigation into the herbs and spices sector was already underway.
"It is vital that the food people buy is what it says it is on the label," said a spokeswoman.
"It is the responsibility of food suppliers to test their products to ensure consumers are not being misled.
"The potential for food fraud in the herbs and spices sector is something that the FSA is already exploring following concerns about undeclared allergens in spices earlier in the year."
Ministers have lifted a block on the Birmingham Development Plan (BDP), which will see 50,000 new homes built.
The plan was approved in April, but put on hold after opposition to greenbelt development in Sutton Coldfield.
Housing Minister Gavin Barwell has now said the housing need was "exceptional" and the plan should be adopted.

Mr Mitchell told the BBC Radio 4's Today programme earlier: "This is the fault of the Labour council, my constituents are frozen out from this process and not one iota of notice has been taken of us."
The BDP includes 51,100 homes, 300 hectares (740 acres) of employment land, 350,000 sq m of retail floor space and 745,000 sqm of office space across the city.
Fields near the Sutton Coldfield bypass at Peddimore and Langley will have 6,000 homes and 71 hectares (175 acres) of business built on them.
Birmingham City Council leader John Clancy welcomed the decision saying the government had "recognised the need to release greenbelt to help meet our housing and employment land needs".
As part of the plans, there will also be six economic zones and 26 enterprise zones to grow existing business and attract new investors.
Yesterday, Conservative ministers did something that was pretty surprising. They gave the go-ahead to the building of 6,000 homes on the greenbelt, in the constituency of a rather prominent Conservative MP in Sutton Coldfield.
Andrew Mitchell, the local MP, blames the Labour council. It is fair to say he is generally not a happy man, not one iota of notice taken of his constituents. He'll seek a debate in Parliament.
But here is the thing that really matters - on the same day that happened, Sajid Javid, the communities secretary, gave a speech extolling what a good decision this was, saying how much he would back councils that made similar decisions. We are coming up to a housing White Paper and you can read something significant into all of this.
I understand that one of the ideas that ministers are considering in that White Paper is changes to make sure that councils don't set the level of houses they say they need in their area artificially low, so they can say "look, we don't need to even look at or consider the greenbelt" and there are concerns that may have been happening from some.
Research has shown 89,000 new homes are required over the next 15 years to address the housing shortage and meet the needs of Birmingham's growing population.
The plan is expected to be formally adopted by the city council early next year.
Mr Justice Bernard McCloskey accused them of "frankly shameful" behaviour during a delayed immigration tribunal.
The four men, led by Shabir Ahmed, 63, were convicted in 2012 of preying on girls as young as 13 in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
The law firms involved declined to comment while the case was ongoing.
Mr Justice McCloskey, president of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber, said the men's barristers and solicitors had failed to submit the necessary papers to the court and had repeatedly asked for adjournments.
He said: "The Upper Tribunal has been treated with sustained and marked disrespect. The conduct of these appeals has been cavalier and unprofessional. The rule of law has been weakened in consequence."
The judge, who is expected to deliver his decision on the men's appeal against deportation this month, also criticised government lawyers representing the Home Secretary after they produced "only a skeleton argument" at the "11th hour".
He has urged government legal officials to mount an investigation into such cases.
Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk said: "The perpetrators of these crimes are trying to avoid languishing in a Pakistani jail, which is where they should be. The law is far too easy to manipulate in this area."
The Rochdale grooming gang plied teenagers with drink and drugs before they were "passed around" for sex, the trial was told.
Ahmed was given a 19-year sentence at Liverpool Crown Court in May 2012 for a string of child sex offences, including rape. He was also jailed for 22 years, to run concurrently, in July 2012 for raping another child 30 times over a decade.
Three other men convicted of child sex offences in the same case, Abdul Aziz, Adil Khan and Abdul Rauf, are also appealing against deportation.
Their solicitors, Nottingham-based firm Burton and Burton, were approached for comment by the BBC.
A spokesperson for the Government Legal Department said it had apologised to the judge where it had failed to "comply with a direction".
Rajiv Sharma, the barrister who represented Ahmed, said he had been instructed at very short notice and was no longer handling the case.
Shukri Mabkhout's The Italian was the eighth winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF).
Judges said the novel was "astonishing", "a work of art" and "an important contribution to Tunisian, and Arab, literary fiction".
Mabkhout receives $50,000 (£32,000) and a guaranteed translation into English.
The Italian chronicles a seminal period in Tunisian political history while telling the story of Abdel Nasser, nicknamed 'The Italian' due to his good looks.
Yasir Suleiman, chairman of IPAF's board, called its author a "master of suspense".
Mabkhout's book, he said, "never lets go of the reader, who willingly follows its intriguing characters on their converging and diverging journeys".
He added that Mabkhout defies the "unfair criticism that the Arabic language is a bookish and fossilised mode of expression at odds with the modern world".
A total of 180 titles from 15 countries were in contention for the award, which is unofficially known as the Arabic Booker prize.
The five other shortlisted finalists will each receive $10,000 (£6,543).
Since 2008, the winning and shortlisted IPAF books have been translated into more than 20 languages.
Sammon and defender Faycal Rherras teamed up with the rest of the squad for pre-season training, with both men signing three-year contracts.
Hearts open their Europa League qualifying campaign on 30 June.
"The objective is to improve on last season's position and there's no reason we can't do that with this group of players and the manager," said Sammon.
"The club did incredibly well last season after getting promoted.
"I want to be challenging for the highest position we can and I'm excited by the prospect of being part of something really successful here."
Sammon, released by Derby County, returns to the Scottish top flight five years after leaving Kilmarnock for Wigan Athletic.
"I feel that I've improved in lots of different areas," the 29-year-old told BBC Scotland.
"I'm definitely stronger. I've had the opportunity to work with some good fitness coaches.
"Technically, I've been rubbing shoulders with some top drawer talent and that can only help.
"Mentally is another area that often gets overlooked. I was on some loan moves, which can be difficult because you're spending a lot of time travelling and you're away from the family.
"So I've improved from some positive and some negative experiences down south."
The Irishman spent last season on loan to Sheffield United, playing 33 times for the English League One club and scoring six goals.
And he revealed that he had "a couple of other offers" and had a "brief chat" with Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes.
"Playing at Tynecastle was always one of the best away days, the atmosphere is top class," Sammon added.
"I can only imagine what it's like as a home player when the team is doing the business on the park. It helped make the decision to come here an easy one."
The 23-year-old Rherras has left Sint-Truiden after two years with the Belgian top-flight club.
"Faycal is a player with real potential and will be a big boost to the defence," Head coach Robbie Neilson told his club website.
"He's played at a good level in Belgium and has been involved in the Moroccan international scene, so it's quite a coup to get him."
Left-sided Rherras, who was born in Liege, played 28 times last season for Sint-Truiden, for whom he signed from Vise in 2014.
Hearts' double signing came the day after 20-year-old Robbie Muirhead signed on at Tynecastle after leaving Dundee United, while fellow striker Gavin Reilly joined Dunfermline Athletic on loan.
Neither the report or chairman of the inquiry called for his resignation.
But there was enough in the 1,700 pages to make life extremely uncomfortable for him - particularly with the Daily Mail dubbing him the "Man with No Shame"
Firstly, the report was scathing about the culture in the NHS, saying it put "corporate self-interest" ahead of patients over the failings, which led to hundreds of needless deaths because of neglect and abuse.
As head of such an organisation, Sir David clearly had a case to answer.
But it went further than that.
The inquiry also dealt with his time as head of the health authority which oversaw Stafford Hospital.
He was on the panel that appointed Martin Yeates as Stafford's chief executive, the individual who ordered the cost-cutting measures which led to the "appalling" standards of care.
Over the next few months documents show that Sir David was concerned about the performance of the trust, but letters from the hospital's bosses convinced him they were tackling the problems.
The inquiry suggested this could have been viewed as the trust being in denial rather than engaged with the difficulties.
Questions were also asked over why there were no objections over the decision to recommend Stafford for elite foundation trust status in the summer of 2007 when it went through the Department of Health validation process.
He was, by this point, the department's most senior civil servant.
He is also reported to have dismissed Cure the NHS, the campaign group set up by local Stafford Hospital patients, as "simple lobbying" in a meeting with the NHS regulator in 2008.
The findings were enough to prompt campaigners and MPs to call for his head.
The government resisted, saying he was the right person to lead the NHS.
At the time, the health service was little over a month away from the biggest reorganisation in its history.
It is also likely ministers felt a great deal of loyalty to Sir David.
Over the past two years he has developed a close working relationship with Number 10 - so much so that it was Sir David rather than Andrew Lansley that the prime minister turned to most when the NHS reforms were nearly derailed by opposition within the health service.
Sir David has also proved extremely effective at keeping a tight control on the purse strings.
When he took over in 2006, NHS trusts were running up deficits.
He enforced tighter fiscal management by keeping a firm grip - some would say too firm - on what the NHS was up to.
In fact, a sign of his control can be seen in the fact that the latest savings drive - the bid to save £20bn by 2015 - is known as the "Nicholson challenge".
But this focus on spending led to accusations he was too controlling and at times bullying.
Many will argue this is an inevitable for someone who is a leader of an organisation the size of the NHS - it has 1.3m staff and a turnover of more than £100bn.
And those who have worked closely with him describe him as being a passionate and caring man.
But despite all his success during his 35-year NHS career, for many he will be known as the man who was in charge when the NHS forgot to care.
The Claim: Speaking about the UK's membership of the EU, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "It means workers throughout Europe have decent rights at work, meaning it's harder to undercut terms and conditions across Europe."
Reality Check verdict: Some of the UK's employment law comes from the EU. However, the impact a Brexit might have on workers' rights and protections depends on which existing laws the UK decides to keep or get rid of.
Among other things, he said the European social chapter and other EU directives had secured:
Let's start with paid leave. Some voices on the Remain side, such as the Trades Union Congress (TUC), have warned that holiday pay would be at risk if the UK decided to leave the EU.
Workers in the UK are entitled to five weeks and three days of paid holiday a year (including public holidays). The Working Time Regulations of 1998 guarantee four weeks of paid leave as a European minimum. But for 35 years before joining the EU, the UK had legislation on paid holidays, so this is unlikely to be affected. You can read more about this here.
Other voices on the Remain side have repeatedly linked benefits such as women's rights to EU membership. For example, the right of part-time workers to join occupational pension schemes was determined by rulings of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), which found that excluding them constituted indirect sex discrimination.
Find out more here about why we said that the EU had been influential in guaranteeing women's rights in the workplace - but they would not necessarily be in jeopardy if the UK left the EU.
It's also fair to say that the UK has, on some occasions, gone further than the EU in guaranteeing workers' rights, for example, in the case of maternity leave.
The 52 weeks of statutory maternity leave in the UK is considerably longer than the 14 weeks guaranteed by EU law. Of this, a period of 40 weeks is available for shared parental leave.
One controversial aspect of EU employment regulation is the EU's Working Time Directive. Some want to limit its application, which governs the hours employees in the EU can be asked to work. This must not exceed 48 hours on average, including any overtime. The Open Europe think-tank has listed it as the third most costly EU regulation.
The overall effect a Brexit might have on workers' rights is one of the most common questions that we get asked.
In short, if the UK votes to leave the EU on 23 June then the UK government would have to choose which EU laws to keep, change or get rid of. So, in theory, some rights could be lost but trade unions, the Labour Party and many Conservatives could also oppose any such move. We've answered a question from a reader about workers' rights in more detail here.

The two sides will meet on 8 September at Sports Authority Field in Denver.
A superb defensive display earned the Broncos a 24-10 win and their third Super Bowl in the teams' last match.
The last time a season started with the teams that contested the Super Bowl was when the Kansas City Chiefs played the Minnesota Vikings in 1970.
"I think it's great," Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said. "It's a big challenge for our team. It gets our attention really quick.
"We know that we're going to have to have a really good offseason."
The New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals, who both fell a game short of Super Bowl 50, will also meet on the opening weekend at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The 17-week regular season is followed by the play-offs which are contested by 12 of the 32 teams and conclude with the Super Bowl.

Clubs will earn more for releasing players for international duty, as well as meeting the English-qualified players target and academy standards.
England will get two more training camps a season and larger elite squad.
"This is a true partnership," said RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie.
"[It is] focused on making English rugby the best in the world for club and country."
The agreement is worth more than double the previous one, which was signed in 2007, and will give England greater flexibility in selection, with the Elite Player Squad (EPS) expanded from 33 to 45 players, while during core periods 36 players can be selected for camps rather than 33.
Ritchie said England head coach Eddie Jones "was heavily involved" in the process and "is very supportive of the result - Eddie is very happy with the access this gives him to players".
In terms of player welfare, England players who play a certain number of minutes throughout the autumn series will now have a mandatory one weekend rest period over Christmas.
"Player welfare, as ever, is a priority for us all, and so further rest periods have been built into the season," Ritchie added.
Premiership clubs will also benefit for the first time if the RFU performs well financially.
The first four year payment from the RFU to the clubs is fixed at £112m, but the second four year payment could be higher.
"Success for England and the clubs depends on an effective partnership between the RFU and Premiership Rugby on many levels," said Premiership Rugby chief executive Mark McCafferty.
"The significantly increased monies to the Premiership clubs, alongside their own increased TV and commercial revenues, will ensure that Aviva Premiership Rugby continues to go from strength-to-strength."

It's the Sun headline, "Queen Backs Brexit" which is both toxic and very troubling to an institution which prides itself on remaining above the political fray.
But the course of action the palace has now embarked upon brings with it risks. It's a far cry from the "never complain, never explain" mantra once deployed by officials in the past.
The letter to the press watchdog ensures that the Sun story continues to be debated.
And there continues to be a focus on what the Queen chose very deliberately to do four days before the Scottish referendum.
When she told a well-wisher in 2014 "I hope people will think very carefully about the future", it was interpreted as support for Scotland remaining within the UK.
It was a planned remark the Queen and her senior advisers may come to regret.

His rivals for the Wales full-back berth, Leigh Halfpenny, Liam Williams and Gareth Anscombe, are injured.
"We need people fighting for places, giving headaches to selectors, and Matthew is definitely in that mix," Wilson told BBC Wales Sport.
Wilson worked with Morgan, who can play at fly-half and full-back, at Bristol and with Wales Under-20s.
Morgan played 66 games for the Ospreys but left for Bristol in May 2014 with his game-time at fly-half limited by Dan Biggar and the emerging Sam Davies.
He has scored 167 points in 28 appearances in two seasons with Bristol and was named Championship player of the season in his debut campaign in England.
Swansea-born Morgan started at full-back against Fiji in last year's World Cup, one of two appearances for Wales in the tournament.
In fact there could be periods of turbulence over the coming years before touchdown.
The government-commissioned Airports Commission, led by Sir Howard Davies, last summer recommended construction of a third airstrip at Heathrow, and this proposal has now been backed by the government.
The plan involves building a new 3,500m runway about two miles north of the two runways Heathrow already has, at an estimated cost of £17.6bn.
So what will actually happen next and what does it mean for travellers?
Heathrow says it expects the new runway to be open in 2025 - with the planning process dealt with by 2020, then four years to build the runway itself and another year to attend to the surrounding infrastructure needed.
The airport say its expansion timetable has factored in the possibility of the runway decision going to a judicial review.
And that looks a likely possibility given the bodies lined up to make a legal protest, including local councils, plus community and environmental groups.
Indeed, the prime minister's local council has said it will spend £50,000 to challenge Heathrow expansion.
Windsor and Maidenhead Council, in Theresa May's constituency, has teamed up with Hillingdon, Richmond and Wandsworth councils to fight the expansion. Overall, the four councils have pledged £200,000 towards a legal challenge.
Residents' organisation Teddington Action Group (TAG) also says it is committed to launching legal proceedings.
It says one of the key grounds for a judicial review into the expansion decision is the "apparent bias" of Sir Howard Davies, relating to his past roles at GIC Private Ltd, owner of an 11.9% share in Heathrow Airport Holdings.
Heathrow chosen for expansion with third runway
Airport expansion: the cost of delays
Given this potential for legal hold-ups, the Independent's travel editor Simon Calder says, "I wouldn't book a ticket for the opening ceremony just yet."
And it is not just legal challenges that could cause delays.
Despite today's announcement it could be two years before a final "final" decision, thanks to convoluted parliamentary and planning processes.
And there are those who think two years is the absolute minimum and that in reality it could take at least four years.
Heathrow envisages a three-runway airport providing up to 740,000 flights a year, up from the current 480,000.
"What is interesting is what happens in terms of expanding capacity," says Mr Calder.
"We are not going to get all the airlines just suddenly saying, 'We have another 50% more aircraft here.' There is going to have to be a gradual building up of their capacity."
To handle the increased numbers, a new terminal building 6 will be built alongside the new runway, while Mr Calder adds that existing terminals 5 and 2 could process more passengers than they do at present.
"For most people the flying experience out of Heathrow will not change much," he says. "It may be that there will be less waiting time before boarding.
"There will obviously be the new terminal building near to the third runway. And there will need to be some new infrastructure in order for passengers to connect to this terminal.
"Where there should be noticeable change though is for incoming passengers - there will certainly be much less time holding in the air before landing."
Once passengers land, there will also need to be extra public transport infrastructure in place at an expanded Heathrow.
The airport has plans for two main passenger transport hubs - Heathrow West (Terminals 5 and 6) and Heathrow East (an extended Terminal 2) - connected by an underground passenger transport and baggage system.
Current transport routes which could be developed into the enlarged airport include a Heathrow Express extension, and a Great Western Railways service. And Crossrail and Southern rail may also provide transport services into the airport in future.
With regards to airlines, British Airways, which has roughly half of all slots at Heathrow, will almost certainly stay in Terminal 5, and the expanded Terminal 2 seems set to remain as the base for airlines that make up the Star Alliance grouping.
Meanwhile, Easyjet, which already serves four London airports - Luton, Stansted, Southend and Gatwick - is set to move in and open a new base at Terminal 4.
It plans to compete with BA, and has promised to restore some links around the UK - such as to Inverness, the Isle of Man and Jersey.
Commission chair Sir Howard Davies has also predicted there could be up to a dozen new long-haul routes out of the expanded Heathrow to important emerging cities in Asia and elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Heathrow says that early morning arrivals will end, and it may be that airlines BA, Cathay Pacific and Virgin Atlantic will have to delay their departures from Hong Kong until after midnight so they touch down not earlier than 05:30 in London.
At the moment several flights from the Far East arrive before 5am each day.
While most of the focus in the run-up to today's decision has been on Heathrow and rival Gatwick, there is also a further regional element in play.
A body called Raba (Regional and Business Airports group), which represents smaller regional airports in the UK, has been backing Heathrow expansion.
It has been predicting benefits for passengers and companies across the country if the Heathrow plans got the go-ahead.
The body points out that in 1990, 18 UK regional airports had regular scheduled flights connecting their regions to Heathrow, but today there are just eight.
Indeed, at present Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, not Heathrow, is the main hub airport for flights from UK domestic airports.
Raba says that for three years it has been working with the Airports Commission and Heathrow to envisage a new domestic network that will give all parts of the UK access to the expanded Heathrow.
"With an expanded Heathrow, the value of the slots will come down, which will help," says Mr Calder.
Regional airports will be looking to see two specific things from Heathrow, he says - lower charges for domestic links than for other short-haul flights, and the allocation of extra slots for domestic flights.
Meanwhile, who will pay for the new runway to get it up and running roughly a decade from now?
Heathrow says the taxpayer will pay £1.2bn for surface infrastructure that is deemed to benefit the wider travelling public (roads, trains etc) as opposed to just airport users, though the Airports Commission puts this figure at £5bn and Transport for London estimates the taxpayer will end up paying £15bn.
But it is passengers over the coming years who will face increased charges to pay for most of the airport expansion.
There is expected to be an increase in the per-departing-passenger fees Heathrow charges to airlines.
It means airlines and passengers operating over the coming years may have to pay for infrastructure that they won't be able to use until 2025.
And British Airways chief executive Alex Cruz said if Heathrow "were to react very quickly saying from 1 January we're going to add £10 [to airport charges], we wouldn't react very well.
"We would very much oppose such a move."
The family of Daniel Morgan, found with an axe in his head in a car park in 1987, believe he was about to expose police corruption when he died.
His brother Alastair Morgan said the statutory Leveson Two inquiry into links between journalists, police and private investigators was essential.
The Met said the case was "complex".
The force said it was working closely with a separate independent panel set up by then-Home Secretary Theresa May in 2013 to review the circumstances of his death.
The body of Mr Morgan, 37, from Llanfrechfa, near Cwmbran, was found outside the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham, London.
There have been five police investigations and the Metropolitan Police admitted police corruption marred the first inquiry.
There have been no convictions and the case has been riddled with accusations of corruption and cover-ups.
Four men were charged with Mr Morgan's murder in 2008, but after 18 months of legal argument the prosecution collapsed in March 2011.
As home secretary in 2013, Theresa May set up an independent, judge-led panel of experts to examine claims police corruption prevented a conviction, despite five investigations.
At the time she said the Hillsborough-style inquiry would "shine a light" on the Morgan case.
The inquiry was set up to:
Mr Morgan's brother said the 2013 panel's work has been delayed due to a "lack of full co-operation" by the police.
The panel was expected to take between 18 months and two years to complete its work but it is now unlikely to finish before autumn 2017, Mr Morgan said.
He has since written to the prime minister saying a statutory inquiry, the second part of the Leveson Inquiry into the press, should follow the panel's work.
The government is currently consulting on whether to hold the second part of the Leveson Inquiry, which would look at relations between the press and the police. The consultation is due to end next week.
Former culture secretary John Whittingdale told BBC Radio Four's Today programme that Leveson was not a "suitable vehicle" to consider Mr Morgan's case.
Speaking about whether the second part of Leveson should go ahead, he said it was "very difficult to justify a re-examination of events which are now 10 years old, which have already been hauled over many, many times".
He added that he had spoken to Sir Brian Leveson, who he claimed had no enthusiasm to proceed with the inquiry.
Mr Whittingdale said: "He's got other jobs to do now, he's already given up 15 months of his life for one inquiry and I've talked to him and I know he doesn't have any enthusiasm."
Of the separate Daniel Morgan inquiry, the Met Police said: "It has been an extremely complex process for many reasons, including the volume and nature of the material involved, and the fact there was no statutory framework to govern the disclosure process.
"The MPS continues to work closely with the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel, who have had access to over one million pages of information."
The murder of Mr Morgan was raised at the original Leveson inquiry into media standards and ethics in 2012 in evidence from former Metropolitan Police detective and BBC Crimewatch presenter Jacqui Hames.
Ms Hames, a victim of phone-hacking, told the inquiry that she and her husband, Det Ch Supt Dave Cook, were placed under surveillance by the News of the World after he appeared on Crimewatch seeking information about Mr Morgan's murder.
Last month Ms Hames applied for a judicial review of the decision by Culture Secretary Karen Bradley to consult on whether to go ahead with part two of the Leveson Inquiry.
A spokesman for the judiciary said Sir Brian was appointed to carry out both parts one and two of the inquiry and said he would need to be consulted if the government chose not to proceed with it or changed its terms.
The spokesman added that Sir Brian had not made "any public statement as to the merits of part two or his own involvement in any proceedings".

Danny Jordaan, head of South Africa's FA, is quoted as confirming that the amount was deducted from a Fifa payment to the country in 2008.
A subsequent letter requested that money to be sent, instead, to the Caribbean Football Union, reports say.
South African officials deny it was a bribe to secure the 2010 World Cup.
But US prosecutors insist South Africa made an illegal payment after the government promised $10m to Mr Warner - then a Fifa vice-president - in exchange for the "Rainbow Nation" becoming the first African country to host the World Cup.
Fifa chose South Africa as host ahead of Morocco.
Danny Jordaan could not be reached for comment on Sunday, but he is quoted as insisting the money was paid to the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf) in 2008 as South Africa's contribution towards their football development fund.
The BBC's Andrew Harding in Johannesburg says unnamed officials have confirmed that the payment was made to support football development among members of the African diaspora - something which does make sense in the political context of the time.
The latest reports come with Fifa - the governing body of world football - in crisis. Senior Fifa officials face a string of bribery charges.
Its head, Sepp Blatter has not been implicated but has faced calls to stand down. He was re-elected as Fifa president on Friday.
In other developments:
Trainee teachers said they were graduating without sufficient skills to teach maths to primary seven pupils.
And more experienced staff warned of "overwhelming" strain, warning many will not stay in work to the age of 67.
Education Secretary John Swinney said it was important teachers were trained well and supported within schools.
And committee convener James Dornan called for "urgent assurances" from the General Teaching Council about the issues raised during the session.
The education committee took evidence about workforce planning from more than a dozen trainees and more experienced teachers, the day after figures were published showing literacy skills of pupils had fallen over the past four years.
Halla Price, who is in her final year of a BEd at Moray House at the University of Edinburgh, said initial literacy training was "very valuable", but was critical of training around numeracy.
She said: "We spent a lot of time going over ideas of activities we could do. However, there wasn't enough focus on the teachers themselves having the skills to teach numeracy other than a maths audit we completed ourselves in second year, which did very little in all honesty to improve our own knowledge and mathematical understanding.
"I do not believe that everyone graduating from Moray House this year has the sufficient skills in numeracy to be able to teach it to 11-year-olds at a reasonable standard."
The university subsequently said that all of its training programmes were fully accredited and were in line with qualifications frameworks.
William MacLeod, who is studying a postgraduate course to become a secondary technology teacher, said there was "a single week" of teaching focusing on literacy.
However, he added: "I think literacy I would have less of an issue with, because literacy is being worked on throughout when we are doing essays, etc.
"I would have more of an issue with numeracy because there is less chance for the university lecturers to see that we are numerate. Going back to the basics on these would be helpful."
Members also heard from more experienced teachers, who warned few would stay in the profession until the age of 67 due to the strain staff are under.
Isabel Marshall told MSPs she was stepping down as a head teacher after 33 years in the profession and 12 years as a head.
She said: "I have thoroughly loved my career but I have resigned and I leave in six weeks. I have loved it but I am utterly exhausted.
"It's been the breadth of social and emotional demands as well as the management demands which have meant I have reached that point where I feel I need to have a break."
Another teacher, Angela Kelly, said she and her colleagues felt "what is being asked of us is no longer sustainable".
She said: "It's overwhelming and I feel many staff are feeling like they're juggling, and trying to prioritise is becoming more and more difficult because there are so many high priorities, and you don't know which one to tackle first or which one can be left for a few days."
Linda Robertson, who became a teacher after working in industry, told MSPs: "I have never worked so hard. I can't imagine working to 67 at that level. Some days you can't even go to the toilet or have lunch. That's why you can't keep teachers."
Convener Mr Dornan said "some of what we heard today about teacher training was pretty worrying".
Mr Swinney said: "We have to make sure that in every respect we are attracting the right individuals into the teaching profession, that they are being trained well and educated well to deliver education to young people in Scotland, that they are supported within our school environment and that they continue to enhance their professional learning."
The education secretary has been pressed on school workforce planning on several occasions in recent weeks.
During education questions on 3 May, he said: "We are spending £88million this year to make sure that every school has access to the right number of teachers, we have increased student teacher intake targets for the sixth year in a row, and we are setting targets for training teachers in the subjects in which they are needed most. We are also supporting innovative new routes into teaching."

Thomson, from Gosport, and his design team have been working for two years on his new Hugo Boss yacht, which is 5% lighter than the previous version.
The 41-year-old's target is victory in the Vendee Globe from November 2016.
"Preparation is key. Today is about learning, in a year's time it's about winning." he told BBC South Today.
Thomson finished third during the last edition of what is often dubbed "the Everest of sailing".
The Vendee Globe is a non-stop, solo, unassisted race which takes around three months to complete.
Welsh-born Thomson will put the new yacht through its paces in the double-handed Transat Jacques Vabre race from Le Havre to South America later this month with co-skipper Guillermo Altadill.
"We're extremely excited as the boat took a year and 40,000 man-hours to build, but we're also quite nervous," Thomson added.
"The first time we'll find out if the boat is fast enough is at the first race in three weeks' time. She seems to be going well and she looks the part.
"Whether she'll be reliable enough, we'll have to wait."
His third place at the last Vendee Globe in January 2013 made Thomson only the third Briton to finish on the event's podium after Ellen MacArthur and Mike Golding, in 2001 and 2005 respectively.
In just over a year's time, he wants to stand on top spot.
"The Vendee Globe has been my life for 12 years," he said.
"The whole team are focused on that job and this boat gives us a tremendous platform."
The angry reception that Prime Minister Manuel Valls received when he observed the minute's silence in Nice is a stark warning of how the mood in the country has changed.
After the Charlie Hebdo and Jewish supermarket killings in January last year, there was - if you remember - a brief moment of patriotic euphoria. L'esprit Charlie broke down political barriers. Everyone was in it together.
That spirit looked somewhat frayed after the Paris attacks in November. There was criticism of President Francois Hollande for failing to act more decisively after January. But the semblance of unity held, just about.
Contrast that with the atmosphere now. After Nice, the spirit of togetherness barely lasted into the following morning.
Today we have all the leaders of the centre-right opposition opening fire at Francois Hollande and his supposed failings in the "war against terror".
The former President, Nicolas Sarkozy, accused the incumbent of having a "hand that trembles". In an interview on Sunday, he said that "all the things that should have been done in the last 18 months were not done".
His rival Alain Juppe - a man normally much more cautious than Mr Sarkozy - said pretty much the same: "If all the right steps had been taken, Nice would never have happened."
Most outspoken was the former mayor of Nice. He is an ally of Mr Sarkozy. Christian Estrosi accused the government of lying over the number of police officers protecting the Bastille Day crowd and he says there were too few on duty.
"The people today do not feel any sense of national unity," he told Le Point magazine. "The government can't get away with it now for the third time, with all the political forces rallying around."
One thing that explains this new intemperance is the changing political context.
In four months, Mr Sarkozy and Mr Juppe go head to head in the primaries of their party, The Republicans, to see who runs in next April's presidential race.
Neither can afford to look soft on the Socialists, especially when on their right flank the Front National leader, Marine Le Pen, is triumphantly proclaiming her own message of "I told you so".
She of course sees in the Nice attack further vindication of everything she has ever said about the government's ineffectiveness. And on the Cote d'Azur, which has a big far-right constituency, there are plenty who agree with her.
The attacks on the government are therefore becoming increasingly inflammatory - if not entirely fair.
To be sure, the political aftermath of the November attacks was not exactly Hollande's finest hour - what with his embarrassing failure to change the constitution so that terrorists could be stripped of nationality.
The state of emergency was also arguably something of a diversion. Most tougher measures (administrative detentions, home arrests) occurred only in the first few days, and the deployment of thousands of troops has been criticised as cosmetic.
But on the other hand, the government argues that it pushed through three anti-terror laws and a law on intelligence-gathering, created more than 10,000 jobs in police and the secret services, and foiled 16 terror plots in the last three years.
The right is itself open to criticism over its record on security as Mr Sarkozy scrapped thousands of police jobs. And, as a general policy, attacking a government on terror is a risky ploy: does anyone really think a right-wing president would have stopped the Nice atrocity?
Where the centre-right is on firmer ground is in judging the mood of the country.
The attacks of last year seemed too extraordinary to provoke much more than shock and horror.
But Nice showed that mass terror is becoming regular and ordinary and - as Manuel Valls saw at the ceremony - that is beginning to make people very angry indeed.
Mohammed Abdul Kadir remains on the run following the bludgeoning of Jalal Uddin in an attack in Rochdale.
On Friday, Mohammed Hussain Syeedy, 21, was convicted of murdering the 71-year-old after driving Mr Kadir to the scene of the killing. He was jailed for life.
An international warrant has been issued for the arrest of Mr Kadir.
Syeedy, of Ramsay Street, Rochdale, acted as a getaway driver but Manchester Crown Court heard Mr Kadir is thought to have used a hammer to deliver the fatal blows.
Det Ch Supt Tony Mole, of the North West Counter Terrorism Unit, said: "Mr Kadir left the country before he was declared a suspect.
"We are working very closely with all our international partners to trace him. If we can find him we will bring him lawfully back to the UK, where he will stand trial."
The trial heard Mr Uddin was "brutally" killed because he practised taweez faith healing, regarded by extremists as "black magic".
The prosecution said Mr Kadir, of Chamber Road, boarded a flight from Manchester to Copenhagen, Denmark, on 21 February and from there flew to Istanbul.
His whereabouts are unknown although it is thought he may have travelled onwards to Syria, the jury was told.
Murder of an imam - the interpretation of 'magic'
Mr Uddin's son, Saleh Al-Arif, said he will be greatly missed.
"My father was the greatest man in our lives. His smile will never be replaced," he said.
"They say perfection cannot be achieved, but my father came close, as demonstrated by his principles, his mannerisms and his incredible love for his family and his religion."
JP Morgan Chase received the largest fine, 33.9m Swiss francs (£26.7m), for colluding with Royal Bank of Scotland over the Swiss franc Libor rate.
Barclays was fined 29.8m Swiss francs for its part in a cartel to rig euro interest rate derivatives.
The fines, for collusion between 2005 and 2010, totalled 99m Swiss francs.
"It is a big sanction based on an in-depth investigation," said Vincent Martenet, President of Comco.
"It was a lengthy process, but we had good co-operation from the banks," he said.
Following the financial crisis in 2008, several international banks were investigated and fined for colluding to influence key interest rates including Libor, the rate at which London banks lend to each other overnight and its European equivalent, Euribor.
Such rates reflect the confidence banks have in each other's financial health and are used to determine the value of millions of trades, as well as borrowing by households and companies.
Even very slight shifts in those rates can result in significant changes to banks' profits.
In the case of the collusion between JPMorgan Chase and Royal Bank of Scotland cartel, RBS was granted immunity for revealing the existence of the cartel to the authorities.
JPMorgan and RBS had tried to distort the pricing of interest rate derivatives denominated in Swiss franc between March 2008 and July 2009, Comco said.
Future vigilance
Although Comco's investigation referred to activity before 2010, Mr Martenet said the Swiss authorities would remain vigilant.
"It's important for us to send this message to the banks: this particular problem might be finished but they have to understand if there is a distortion in other circumstances, we are there, we will intervene. It's important even if this concrete behaviour belongs to the past."
Barclays, RBS and Societe General were fined a total of 45.3m Swiss Francs for colluding over the setting of Euribor, the interbank interest rate at which eurozone banks lend, between 2005 and 2008. Deutsche Bank received immunity over its participation in that cartel for communicating it's existence to Comco, the authorities said.
The investigation continues into the roles of BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole, HSBC, JPMorgan and Rabobank in the Euribor market. Mr Martenet said there was still room for an amicable settlement with those banks.
There were smaller fines for Credit Suisse, JP Morgan and RBS related to the bid-ask spread on Swiss franc interest rate derivatives in 2007 and for Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan and RBS for their role in Yen Libor and Euroyen Tibor cartels.
"These fines represent the tail-end of regulatory action against corporates, who will be glad that finally these long-running conduct issues will be put to bed," commented Hannah Laming, business crime specialist at the law firm Peters & Peters.
"Regulatory attention is now focused squarely on using civil and criminal enforcement against individuals to drive cultural change in these organisations, and it is likely there is still much activity to be seen in this space in 2017 and beyond."

A law graduate, she got her first taste of the media industry as a little girl accompanying her father, a radio DJ.

Neil Parnell, 52, of Nottingham fell from Bristley Ridge, between Tryfan and Glyder Fach at about 15:00 GMT on Saturday.
His body was airlifted to Ysbyty Gwynedd where he was pronounced dead.
A post mortem revealed he died from natural causes. An inquest will not be held.
Ko Ni was shot in the head on Sunday after arriving from an international trip. A taxi driver was also shot.
A suspect has been detained but there are no details on the motive.
Ko Ni was one of few prominent Muslims in a country dominated by Buddhists. It is not clear if that was a factor in his death.
Assassinations are extremely rare in Myanmar.
A student activist dating back to the uprising of 1988, Ko Ni was a political prisoner and then, once released, a senior lawyer and adviser to the NLD.
A still picture taken by the taxi rank of Yangon's airport captured the moment of assassination.
A man wearing a pink shirt, shorts and flip flops points a pistol to the back of the head of Ko Ni, who is holding a small child.
Moments later Myanmar's most prominent Muslim lawyer was dead and shortly afterwards a taxi driver, too, who had chased the attacker.
Pictures posted on social media showed the police as they caught the attacker, his head and legs smeared in blood. He's been named as Kyi Lin, a 53-year-old from Mandalay.
A student activist dating back to the uprising of 1988, Ko Ni was a political prisoner and then, once released, a senior lawyer and adviser to Aung San Suu Kyi's political party. An expert on constitutional law, he worked on the NLD's plans to amend Myanmar's military drafted charter.
Last year he helped found the Myanmar Muslim Lawyers' Association and spoke of the need to stand up for the rights of Muslim citizens. That may have made him some powerful enemies.
The Brewers hit the front when Chris O'Grady's blocked shot fell to Jackson Irvine, who struck from 10 yards for his seventh goal of the season.
Matty Palmer doubled the lead when he collected a weak clearance and fired a 20-yard shot into the top corner.
Tom Adeyemi converted Joe Mattock's cross for a late Millers consolation.
The Millers began well under Warne, who took charge on an interim basis following Kenny Jackett's resignation on Monday, with Jon Taylor having two shots blocked and Izzy Brown glancing a header wide from six yards.
Warne had threatened to substitute anyone not pulling their weight after 20 minutes, but his side were again sunk by their defensive frailties - they have conceded the most goals in the Football League, including 30 in 10 away matches - with Irvine wasting a clear chance when he shot over with the goal at his mercy.
The match had to be stopped when two flares were thrown on the pitch as away fans vented their frustration, with angry chants directed against former manager Alan Stubbs.
Burton, who have conceded just four goals in their past eight games at the Pirelli Stadium, moved up a place to 19th, while Rotherham's 11th defeat in 12 matches left them bottom and 13 points adrift of safety.
Burton boss Nigel Clough:
"It was hard going at times; they were very spirited and put us on the back foot. That was as badly as we have started for a while.
"It was important to get the goal and wear them down and break their spirit. I am disappointed we conceded, but it doesn't detract from the three points.
"I don't think we play as fluently at home. We will take the three points."
Caretaker manager Paul Warne:
"It's difficult, I gave everything I could today, and I am sorry that it's not enough, it's hard to take.
"I honestly believed if there was a soccer god we would have won today. I am not religious but I believe in fate. I tried to put that into the lads and they gave everything.
"There is no more for me to give. I thought stupidly that would be enough to win the game, but I was wrong.
"No-one is more devastated than me. I wanted to win for the fans, for myself, for my family and for the lads, and I just thought that today would be that day."

He posted his strongly-worded message after an 18-year-old musician was killed at a rally in Caracas.
"Nothing can justify the bloodshed," he wrote on his Facebook page.
More than 30 people have been killed and hundreds either injured or arrested since protesters took to the streets in early April.
The demonstrations were sparked by an attempt by the Supreme Court to take over the powers of the opposition-controlled National Assembly.
The country is suffering from severe shortages of basic foods and other necessities after falling prices for oil exports cut government revenue. Inflation is expected to hit 700% this year.
Gustavo Dudamel, 36, is the music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and one of the stars of Venezuela's famous musical education programme El Sistema.
Still music director of the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, he has sometimes been accused of not being critical enough of the Caracas government.
But he was moved to speak out after the death on Wednesday of the 18-year-old musician, who was a member of El Sistema.
Under the headline "I raise my voice", he wrote: "We must stop ignoring the just cry of the people suffocated by an intolerable crisis".
He said "no ideology can go beyond the common good" and "politics must be exercised from conscience and in the utmost respect of the Constitution".
He urged President Nicolas Maduro to "listen to the voice of the Venezuelan people", and create a system "where we can walk freely in dissent, in respect, in tolerance, in dialogue".
Youths hurled rocks and fire bombs and police responded with rubber bullets and water cannon on Thursday.
A student leader was also shot dead while at a meeting in the northern state of Anzoategui, the AFP quoted the prosecutor's office as saying. It was not clear whether the killing was linked to the protests.
The government has warned demonstrators that their right to cause street disruption is not absolute.
Justice and Interior Minister Nestor Reverol warned that blocking highways carried an eight-year sentence.
President Maduro succeeded Hugo Chavez, a popular but polarising leader who had introduced wide-ranging social welfare programmes and died in 2013.
However, Mr Maduro has been unable to inspire the same popularity and loyalty as his predecessor.
Presidential elections are due at the end of next year.
Not for Professor Monica Grady from the Open University.
On Wednesday after the European Space Agency's (ESA) Philae probe landed on a comet hurtling through space, she was filmed jumping for joy, cheering and shouting "fantastic" over and over again.
Her reaction went viral and she says it is now the best day of her life.
"We have one son. Sorry Jack, I would compare this with the joy of actually having our son. It was just one of those sorts of moments," she told Newsbeat.
"We heard that the Philae lander bounced and it went a kilometre up in the air and I think I was almost a kilometre up in the air when I was bouncing with joy when we heard the first announcement."
VIDEO: Newsbeat remixes the sound of the #cometlanding
The mission to land a probe on the comet, called 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, was launched in 2004.
It should help us learn about the origins of the Solar System.
"We're going to analyse the comet," says Monica.
"We're going to sniff it. We're going to melt some of it. We're going to burn some of it.
"The biggest thing we'll learn is what comets have to do with life on earth. One of the most important things that space missions do is bring to people's attention how exciting it is, what a challenge it is."
The robot probe is the size of a washing machine.
It was dropped from the Rosetta satellite and spent seven hours travelling down to the comet.
"If one person is inspired to go into science because of seeing what Rosetta has been doing, seeing the excitement of Philae, then it's worthwhile," says Monica.
The comet is about 300 million miles away (500 million km), far beyond Mars and is racing through space at about 34,000 mph (55,000 km/h).

Jennifer Lawrence's fourth outing as Katniss Everdeen ended James Bond's three week chart-topping run.
Spectre, starring Daniel Craig as Bond, took £3.82m, above The Lady in the Van in third spot with £1.61m.
Animated sequel Hotel Transylvania 2 was in fourth, while Brooklyn, starring Saoirse Ronan, was in fifth.
The latest instalment of The Hunger Games franchise took less at the box office than its predecessor.
Mockingjay Part 1 made £12.6m in the UK in its opening weekend, accounting for two out of every three tickets sold, its distributor Lionsgate said.
The first Hunger Games film, based on Suzanne Collins' book, took a total of £24m in the UK, and nearly $700m (£433m) worldwide.
Despite dropping to second spot in this week's chart, Spectre has overtaken Titanic to become the third highest grossing film in UK box office history, according to Rentrak.
The latest Bond film has taken a total of £84.31m to break into the all-time top three, behind Avatar with £94m and Skyfall with £103m.
Senior judges heard a challenge last month from campaigners who argue Prime Minister Theresa May does not have the power to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty without MPs' approval.
The PM has promised to trigger Article 50 by the end of March 2017.
Its author, Lord Kerr, has told the BBC he believed it was "not irrevocable".
Judges are set to give their verdict at 10:00 GMT.
Some of the leading figures in the legal world are involved in the historic case, which is expected to be appealed against to the Supreme Court whatever the verdict.
The announcement will be made by Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas, Master of the Rolls Sir Terence Etherton and Lord Justice Sales.
The government insists it does not need to consult Parliament before triggering Article 50, which begins two years of formal Brexit negotiations.
It argues there is an established constitutional convention for the executive to use ancient powers of royal prerogative to withdraw from international treaties - and that the referendum result has given ministers the green light to begin Brexit.
But the claimants - led by investment manager Gina Miller - argue that rights granted by the 1972 European Communities Act cannot be taken away without the explicit approval of Parliament.
A number of MPs have also been calling for Parliament to be given a vote before Article 50 is triggered, saying the government has no mandate to decide the terms of Brexit.
But Mrs May has said their demands are akin to trying to "subvert democracy".
The government has said it is likely MPs will get to vote on the final Brexit deal reached after the negotiations - but campaigners say this is too late.
The prime minister has refused to give details of her key demands for the talks.
Among those calling for Parliament to be given a vote is the Scottish peer who wrote Article 50.
In a BBC interview, Lord Kerr of Kinlochard said he believed Article 50 was "not irrevocable", adding that the UK could choose to stay in the EU even after exit negotiations had begun.
Meanwhile the head of the civil service, Sir Jeremy Heywood, said it might be decades before the full impact of the referendum result on the UK was known.
Setting out the challenge facing Whitehall in his blog, he said Brexit had "few, if any, parallels in its complexity".
He also defended the civil service's role during the referendum campaign, when Brexit-supporting ministers were barred from seeing some documents under special rules allowing members of the government to campaign for either side.
"During the official referendum campaign, we were scrupulous in making sure that all documents issued were factually correct and objective," he said.
Exiting the EU will involve almost every government department and thousands of civil servants, he said.
Separately, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has been greeted by laughter after claiming Brexit would be a "titanic success".
Speaking at the Spectator Parliamentarian of the Year Awards, he appeared to compare leaving the EU to the cruise ship that sank in 1912 on its maiden voyage.
He said: "In the words of our great Prime Minister, Brexit means Brexit, and we are going to make a titanic, a titanic success of it."
After loud laughter from the audience, Mr Johnson corrected himself, adding: "We are going to make a colossal, a colossal success of Brexit."
The Samoa-born 22-year-old was playing for Kirkcaldy in Scottish National League Two last season.
But after being invited to a trial for Edinburgh's A team, he then starred in their victory at the Melrose Sevens.
A one-year contract offer followed, and Tofilau is now set for his Pro12 debut after playing both pre-season games.
Tofilau explained: "I had no deal back home in New Zealand and Quintan Sanft [Kirkcaldy's head coach, who won two caps for Samoa in 2000] phoned me up and said 'why don't you come over here and experience Edinburgh?'
"I heard Edinburgh was an awesome city so I thought I'd tick it off my bucket list, and that is how it all happened."
Tolifau is a former member of the Chiefs development squad in Waikato, and has also played for Australia's Under-20s.
But the transition from the third division of Scottish club rugby in Fife to the professional game in the past two months has been abrupt.
"Kirkcaldy was 'no structure' rugby, more 'jungle rugby', that is what I call it - everyone flying everywhere," Tolifau said.
"Coming to Edinburgh has definitely woken me up and added a lot more skills to my game. We have some awesome coaches and [backs coach] Duncan Hodge has taken me under his wing.
"He has told me it takes time, be patient - I will learn things slowly and there is no rush.
"It has been awesome so far. It is probably the toughest training I have experienced in pre-season, but I have enjoyed it. I am very grateful for the opportunity I have been given.
"Coming from the outside, I definitely have something to prove so if I start this week against Cardiff Blues, I will cherish the moment."
If the 16st 12lb Tofilau, who emigrated to New Zealand with his family as a five-year-old, holds true to his Samoan roots, Edinburgh may discover a new dimension to their attacking game.
"I like the ball in hand and I also like defence a lot," he said. "But I think I bring a different kind of flair to the backline - I like to attack and offload and put my wingers in space.
"Our forwards are awesome at the set-piece so I just have to focus on my job of breaking the gain-line. Fortunately, I have Phil Burleigh and Duncan Weir to help me out.
"Phil has really helped me out in terms of the midfield and his knowledge of the game. It is not always about 'crash and bash', it is about playing smart and territory."
Tolifau may be new to the squad, but he shares the pre-season optimism swirling around the capital club that the new season will bring more success than recent campaigns.
"The boys have said the last couple of seasons have been pretty inconsistent but we have set a strong goal this year," he added.
"We have had a tough pre-season and we are ready to reap the rewards now. Top four is a definite positive target for us. I think we can do it.
"We have a good strong squad and a lot of depth, so I think we will have a lot of rotation this year."
Henry Overton Wills III became the university's first chancellor after gifting it £100,000 in the 1870s.
Campaigners claim it was "slave-profited money" and the Wills Building name should be revised.
But a university spokesman, said it was not "appropriate" to rename it "or any other university buildings".
The Wills family founded WD and HO Wills in 1786, shipping tobacco from the New World into Bristol.
When the university was struggling, Henry Overton Wills stepped in with a gift that would now be worth almost £10.5m.
Despite the family investing "heavily in the institution", campaigners say it was "slave-profited money" and the funding does "not justify the means of slavery".
They claim the university should not be glorifying someone who "profited so greatly from such an immoral practice".
But a university spokesman said without major contributions from the city's "commercial families" the institution "would not have flourished".
"In our view, it is important to retain these names as a reflection of our history," he said.
"We cannot alter the past but we can enable reflection upon it and add to knowledge about slavery past and present."
Bristol's Colston Hall announced in April that it would be ditching the "toxic" name it shares with 17th Century slave trader Edward Colston.
Bristol Cathedral was also considering removing a large stained-glass window dedicated to the merchant, following criticism from anti-racism campaigners.
Two bags containing the belongings of Terence Kilbride were washed up beside the river on Saturday.
The 48-year-old, originally from Warrington in Cheshire, was reported missing on Monday.
Police said he was known to go camping in the area and could have a bike with him but the horrendous recent weather meant they were gravely concerned.
Insp David Paterson, of Police Scotland, said: "Given the recent inclement weather we are extremely concerned to trace Mr Kilbride and confirm he is safe and well and we are treating this as a missing person inquiry.
"A photograph, which is a few years old, has been provided and we are asking people to see if they recognise him.
Mr Kilbride is described as 6ft tall with short dark greying hair. He has blue eyes.
Annie worked alongside her husband at the end of the 19th Century, recording the dark spots that pepper the Sun.
The name Maunder is still known in scientific circles, yet Annie has somehow slipped from history.
"I think the name Maunder is there and we have all rather forgotten that that's two people," says Dr Sue Bowler, editor of the Royal Astronomical Society magazine, Astronomy and Geophysics.
"She was acknowledged on papers, she published in her own name as well as with her husband, she wrote books, she was clearly doing a lot of work but she also clearly kept to the conventions of the day, I think."
Annie Scott Dill Russell was born in 1868 in Strabane, the daughter of a Reverend.
Clearly of fierce intelligence, she won a scholarship to Girton College, Cambridge, and became one of the first female scientists to work at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.
In the courtyard of the observatory, looking over the park, curator Dr Louise Devoy, tells me what little they know about her work.
"She was one of what we now call the 'lady computers' employed in the early 1890s by the then Astronomer Royal, William Christie," she explains.
"I believe she came from Northern Ireland and she worked here for several years on very low pay just like many of the computers here, both male and female.
"In terms of what she actually did here, we have very little concrete record or photographs.'"
Female scientists were hindered because of their gender until the 1920s and 30s, despite superb skills and experience, says Dr Devoy.
At Greenwich, employing women with a university education in mathematics was an audacious experiment.
Women were only considered because the Astronomer Royal needed skilled assistants but could afford only lowly computers - historically, schoolboys on a wage of £4 per month.
Maunder was offered a post as a lady computer, which meant a huge drop in pay for someone who had been working, briefly, as a school teacher.
Letters show that she appealed for more money but was turned down.
The lady computers would carry out routine calculations to turn raw observations into usable data. They were also trained to use telescopes.
At times, this meant walking through Greenwich Park at night without a chaperone, an activity that was frowned on at the time.
"In an age when many middle-class women were still chaperoned, the grit and devotion of these young women astronomers, clad in their clumsy long gowns as they worked at their telescopes or in the laboratories, were surely remarkable," wrote the science historian and astronomer Mary T Brück.
More on Annie Maunder and other female pioneers of science:
In 1892, the names of Annie Russell and fellow Greenwich astronomer Alice Everett were put forward to become fellows of the Royal Astronomical Society.
However, they failed to gain enough of the popular vote in a secret ballot and were rejected.
The RAS had long argued that since the pronoun "he" was used in the charter, women could not be admitted alongside men.
Instead, Annie Russell and Alice Everett, who had studied together at Cambridge, joined the amateur British Astronomical Association (BAA).
Alice Everett grew tired of the low pay and left Greenwich, eventually developing an interest in the new field of television. Annie Russell stayed on.
"She was clearly very tough and wanted to follow her science," says Dr Bowler.
"She sat the [difficult] mathematical Tripos at a time when women couldn't actually be awarded a degree and there were even protests at Cambridge against the whole idea of giving women degrees.
"So she was clearly tough enough to do that and to do it well and to succeed then in getting employment as a scientist, which was fairly rare anyway - astronomy was still very much a gentleman's pursuit."
Annie Russell married her colleague Edward Walter Maunder in 1895.
Under civil service rules, as a married woman, she was forced to give up her paid position, bringing the age of lady computers to an end.
"She did come back as a volunteer during the First World War and then she was taken on as a paid employee later in the 1920s,'' says Dr Devoy.
Annie worked alongside Walter taking photographs of the Sun, laying the groundwork for a modern understanding of solar activity.
"They would take photographs of the Sun every clear day just to note where the sunspots were and to sketch where they were," says Dr Bowler. "But she also, as a trained mathematician, put quite a bit of effort into analysis. She wasn't just writing things down; she wasn't just Walter's assistant."
Annie Maunder went on many scientific expeditions to observe eclipses around the turn of the century, often as the only woman. She travelled to Lapland, India, Algiers, Mauritius and Labrador.
She even designed her own camera to take spectacular pictures of the Sun, including the first photograph ever of streamers from the Sun's outer layer, or corona.
"She particularly caught an extremely long ray - a streak of the corona - coming out from the Sun, while it was eclipsed, that nobody had ever seen before - a feature of the corona that people just didn't know about," says Dr Bowler.
"I've seen photos of her adjusting the instruments. She's taking her photographs. She's not at all a passenger.
"It may have been only socially acceptable for her to go because she's travelling with her husband but she was on official scientific expeditions and her photographs were acknowledged as among the best."
The conventions of the time meant that Annie's photographs were published under her husband's name and she could not speak at scientific meetings.
However, she was eventually made a fellow of the Royal Society in 1916, 24 years after first being proposed.
She was involved with promoting astronomy to a general audience as vice president of the BAA and edited the in-house journal.
In 1908, the Maunders published the book, The Heavens and Their Story, which was aimed at popular science.
The book was released under both their names, but her husband acknowledged in the preface that it was almost all her work.
The Maunders are also well known for the butterfly diagram, which shows how the number of sunspots varies with time, and the Maunder Minimum, a period in the 17th Century when sunspots all but disappeared.
Much of their work still holds true today.
This year, Annie's name is being remembered through the inaugural Annie Maunder Medal, to recognise public engagement in science.
"She is an ideal person for that medal to be named after," says Dr Bowler. "That's largely what she was doing, certainly later in her career."
Annie Maunder died in 1947, long after her husband.
On a leafy street near Clapham Common I find the Victorian terraced house where she spent her final years.
From the outside there is nothing to speak of the pioneering scientist.
Yet, despite perhaps not getting the recognition she deserved in her lifetime, she clearly left her mark on science.
"From her letters which are in the Royal Astronomical Society archives she was a very strong-minded, very decided personality," says Sue Bowler.
"She didn't mince her words. She's really quite amusingly rude in some of her letters and very precise.
"I really admire her - she's one of the people I would definitely have at my dream dinner party - I think she would be extraordinarily interesting.
"And her thoughts, her opinions about the paper based on her observations are very modern and form the basis for solar physics through a lot of the years following."

De La Soul's debut album 3 Feet High and Rising is a rap landmark: A free-thinking, kaleidoscopic record that expanded hip-hop's palette with goofy sketches, socially-conscious lyrics and samples from Johnny Cash and Steely Dan.
Songs like Eye Know and The Magic Number are classics, but you cannot stream them. Nor are they available on iTunes; while CD copies of the album are hard to come by.
The same goes for the follow-up, De La Soul Is Dead, and almost all of the band's subsequent releases.
"It's really heart-wrenching," says Kelvin Mercer, aka Posdnuos, De La Soul's laid-back, loquacious spokesman.
"It's an unfortunate place we've been put in as a group."
The problem is all those samples - more than 70 on 3 Feet High and Rising alone. Even though the band's record label got clearance for most (but not all) of them in 1989, they failed to predict the rise of the internet.
"Our contracts on those early albums said specifically 'vinyl and cassette,'" explains Posdnuos. "The wording wasn't vague enough to lend itself to [new] music technology.
"So once the whole age of digital music came into play, new deals needed to be cut for those entire albums."
The master tapes are now owned by Warner Bros records who, the rapper says, have been reluctant to tackle the issue.
"They're like, 'Is it worth it?'" he says. "They've got to go through almost every song with a fine comb to make sure this sample or that sample was cleared. They just don't want to deal with it.
"Whenever we find someone who works there that's willing to help us, there'll be a change of the guard and a whole bunch of new people come in, and they don't know what's going on. It's been a very lengthy, draining process."
Posdnuos is particularly upset that new fans who discovered De La Soul through their collaboration with Gorillaz can only hear low-quality, unlicensed versions of the De La Soul's classic albums on YouTube, from which he earns nothing.
"Young people want to invest in who you are, and there's nothing around for them to invest in," he says.
"It's just something that we're trying to work out. Hopefully there'll be a light at the end of the tunnel."
While work on releasing De La Soul's back catalogue has stalled, the band are concentrating on the future.
On their new album, And The Anonymous Nobody, they even found a cunning way to circumvent copyright clearance: Recording brand new music with a live band and sampling that instead.
"It was just an amazing process," says Posdnuos. "We would have jam sessions going on for about 15 minutes. Out of those sessions, we would loop something, or chop something up, or manipulate something, so each session could morph into three different songs, or even four."
In total, they recorded more than 200 hours of material, funded by a Kickstarter campaign that raised more than $600,000 (£462,600) from fans.
Investors were rewarded with a series of unusual incentives: Those who spent $30 got the album on a USB drive shaped like one of the members' heads; $7,500 earned someone a guest spot on the album; while $2,000 gave two lucky fans the chance to spend a day sneaker shopping with Posdnuos in New York.
"They were both from Australia," he says, still somewhat bewildered. "It was a lot of pressure for me because I was like, 'Wow, you're going to fly all that way on your own dime? From Australia? Just to hang out with me?'.
"I had to make sure these guys had a great time."
Although the original reward only promised a signed pair of shoes, Posdnuos ended up calling in some favours - secretly arranging a meeting with fashion designer Jeff Staples, who designed a "very rare Nike Dunk called The Pigeon".
When the fan, an avid sneaker-collector himself, saw Staples, he started "shaking in his pants," Posdnuos recalls. "It was really hilarious."
Ultimately, those investors allowed De La Soul to make their most experimental album yet; from Here In After's chirpy Afro-funk to the avant garde pop of Drawn, which features Swedish band Little Dragon.
On Unfold, the trio rap using dialect from America's frontier days.
"We spent hours just looking through old Western slang to make it feel real," says Posdnuos.
"So when Dave [Jolicoeur, aka Trugoy] is rhyming about the card game, the dude's name is Tumbleweed Baker. A girl calls him TB and he's like, 'Don't call me TB, they'll think I'm a lunger.' And a lunger means a person who has tuberculosis. Stuff like that is really, really cool."
The record even has room for a space rock epic, Lord Intended, with vocals by Justin Hawkins of The Darkness (it was originally offered to Axl Rose and Lenny Kravitz) that lasts for seven squealing minutes.
"That's why we went the route of crowdfunding," says Posdnuos, "because a label would make us try to change songs to fit in a radio world.
"We felt someone would listen to the Little Dragon track, Drawn, and be like, 'This sounds amazing'. But on the third listen, when they turned on their record company brain, they would say, 'But there's no chorus, and you don't rap until the last two minutes of the song… Can you make a version where you rhyme earlier?'"
"And we were like, 'No! If people are given the chance to hear it in this form, they'll love it, because it feels right.
"That's what music is. We think back to certain groups where our minds were blown - like when we heard Grandmaster Flash and the message and realised, 'Wow, you don't have to just party when you rhyme - you can talk about something serious'; or when we heard Run DMC and thought, 'Oh wait a minute, you can rhyme with a rock record.'"
"If people are just given the chance to do what they need to do as an artist, it inspires and changes the game."

The National 5 Modern Studies exam will take place on Friday afternoon.
The Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) said the paper has been reprinted because of a typographical error.
The exams body said there was no suggestion of a security breach. A spokesman added that it had procedures in place to deal with situations like this.
The printing mistake in the original paper was in a diagram, not a question.
The SQA said it acted quickly after the error was spotted.
The reprinted paper - with the correct text in the diagram but otherwise identical - will be issued to exam centres across Scotland.
Last year the Higher English paper was replaced amid fears of a security breach.
The SQA also faced criticism over mistakes in the National 5 computing paper.
Earlier this month, the SQA announced that teachers would not have access to exam papers until the day after each test takes place.
It said the change was in order to improve security and confidentiality. The largest teachers' union, the EIS, has condemned the move.
The vessel had reportedly been hired for an engagement party and was sailing north of Cairo when it was hit by a cargo ship late on Wednesday.
A number of children were among the dead, including four babies.
Rescuers are continuing their search for other bodies and the captain of the cargo boat has been arrested.
It is not clear if the couple celebrating their engagement were among the casualties.
Family and friends gathered at the river to await news of their loved ones.
Ahmed Helmy said at least five of his relatives had died. "Two children are missing," he said, according to AFP news agency.
Many people chanted anti-government slogans on the banks of the river, as the search continued.
Traffic had been heavy along the Nile, as Egyptians celebrated the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
Violence against opposition-minded journalists is nothing new in Russia, but this time around it was a correspondent working for one of the key pro-Kremlin channels, NTV.
The attack has been widely condemned, but some also noted that, having celebrated the use of military force in Ukraine, Russian TV now found itself on the receiving end - quite literally.
Praise for Russia's military might is a key topic on state TV, and is often complemented by harsh criticism of the government in Ukraine.
Nikita Razvozzhayev was delivering a characteristically upbeat report about Wednesday's Paratrooper Day festivities in Moscow's Gorky Park.
Seconds into the live despatch, an apparently drunk man staggered into shot, shouting, in between expletives, "We'll capture Ukraine!"
The man, dressed in a T-shirt bearing the logo of an eastern Ukraine separatist movement called Oplot, then punched Mr Razvozzhayev in the jaw after politely being asked not to interrupt the broadcast.
He was detained shortly afterwards.
Mr Razvozzhayev later hooked up with the studio after being discharged from hospital, saying that the punch "wasn't as bad as it looked".
While Paratrooper Day is a notoriously rowdy affair in Russia, Mr Razvozzhayev said he was "surprised" by incident.
The incident received prominent coverage on the main evening news. Russian TV decried the "outrageous assault", but at the same time all three main channels appeared keen to make sure it cast no shadow on the reputation of the country's highly-revered paratroopers.
They all said that the attacker had actually never been a paratrooper himself and NTV denied that he had any links with Oplot.
There was also no discussion of the man's threat against Ukraine in any of the main TV bulletins. State TV's Channel One merely said that the man "tried to say something", while the other two channels bleeped the phrase out along with the expletives.
Some Ukrainian news sites said the man had served in eastern Ukraine and published images they said showed him mingling with key separatist leaders.
Over on social media, there was widespread condemnation of the attack. "Who gave paratroopers the right to drink in public? Who gave them the right to party and brawl in parks with children every 2 August?" was the most-liked comment underneath NTV's Facebook post about the incident.
But others argued that NTV was partly to blame for encouraging jingoism and in particular aggressive feeling towards Ukraine.
"The correspondent has my genuine sympathy," wrote independent journalist Andrey Loshak, "but you can't disagree with this comment someone left on the NTV website: NTV got punched in its lying optimistic face by a thug that it had brought up."
In Ukraine, the incident was greeted with barely-concealed delight.
Yuriy Butusov, the editor of Ukrainian news website Censor said on Facebook: "A victim of propaganda showed a propagandist that his efforts to turn the Russians into half-wits are not in vain."

The Dubliner was a writer, poet, barrister, soldier and politician.
From a staunchly nationalist background, he was a member of the Irish Parliamentary Party and served as MP for East Tyrone from 1906 to 1910.
Born in 1880 he was well-known for being a gifted speaker and a passionate advocate of Irish independence.
Known as Tom or Thomas, in 1914 he was in Belgium purchasing weapons for the Irish Volunteers and witnessed the German invasion of the country.
He returned home and helped to recruit thousands of young Irish nationalists into the British Army in defence of Catholic Belgium.
At the outbreak of the Great War he enlisted for service with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and, serving as a lieutenant, he was killed at Ginchy on 9 September 1916.
To mark the centenary of his death, an act of remembrance was held at Westminster that was attended by MPs and representatives of the Irish government.
Lagan Valley MP Jeffrey Donaldson laid a wreath at the memorial which commemorates the life of the Dublin-born politician.
The DUP MP said he was "honoured " to help host the event in London.
"Tom joined in common cause with the Ulster Volunteers at the Somme and his death symbolises the heavy loses suffered by the 16th Irish Division," he said.
"He is surely deserving of full recognition and remembrance by all of us."
Irish Ambassador to the UK Dan Mulhall also laid a wreath to mark Mr Kettle's life.
"In this decade of commemorations, Kettle's story gives an invaluable insight into the difficult choices that confronted the Irish men and women of that era," Mr Mulhall said.
"Reflecting on his hopes for reconciliation in Ireland and Europe, 100 years on from his death, resonates strongly."
The event in Westminster was also attended by Labour MP Vernon Coaker, the former Northern Ireland shadow secretary, and peers Lord Rogan and Lord Kilclooney.
Foyle MP Mark Durkan also took part in the commemoration at the Palace of Westminster.
An admirer of Mr Kettle, he said the poet and politician was "ahead of his time in seeing our issues in a wider European context".
Mr Durkan said Mr Kettle was "held in great esteem " and said had the 36-year-old survived World War One he would have "made a major mark on Irish society".
In Dublin, Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan attended an event to mark Mr Kettle's life and death.
The ceremony was also attended by many members of the extended Kettle family.
Paying tribute to him, Mr Flanagan said: "His loss is a reminder of the tragedy of a generation from across Europe who were caught up in the slaughter of World War One."
Shortly before his death in September 1916, Kettle wrote about Irish men who volunteered for military service in the British Army.
The poem entitled "To My Daughter Betty, the Gift of God" contained the poignant lines that Irish men "Died not for flag, nor king, nor emperor. But for a dream, born in a herdsman's shed, And for the secret scripture of the poor".
Today those lines adorn the bottom of his memorial which sits at St Stephen's Green in tribute to a gifted politician, soldier and poet who many believe was ahead of his time.
Ninth seeded shuttler PV Sindhu, lithe and lethal on court, also became the youngest Indian ever to win an Olympic medal.
In a riveting 84-minute game, she fought like a tigress before going down to the world champion Spaniard Carolina Marin in the women's badminton final.
On Wednesday, female wrestler Sakshi Malik had ended India's medal drought at Rio: she picked up the bronze in the 58kg women's wrestling category, becoming the first Indian female wrestler and the fourth Indian woman to win an Olympic medal.
Last Sunday, Dipa Karmakar, India's first female gymnast at the Olympics, just lost out on a medal, finishing fourth in the women's vault gymnastics, and winning the hearts of a nation.
"After a miserable first week full of teary near-misses and a few underwhelming sub-scripts, a gymnast, a wrestler and a badminton player were to spark the 2016 Olympics to life for Indians," says sports writer Sharda Ugra.
In other, more modest achievements, long-distance runner Lalita Babar became the second Indian woman to qualify for the final of track and field event at Olympics, finishing 10th in the 3,000m steeplechase final on Monday; and teenage golfer Aditi Ashok qualified for the final.
Clearly, women athletes are making history - and saving India's face at Rio.
It is difficult to think of another instance where women saved the country's reputation at an international sporting event since India's best track-and-field athlete PT Usha won four of five gold medals in the 1987 Asian Games. Women won two of the six medals India picked up in London 2012. "There has definitely been a resurgence in women's sport if you see the break up of Olympic medals," says Ronojoy Sen, author of a definitive history of sport in India.
Indian women have indeed come a long way in sport since Nilima Ghose and Mary D'Souza joined the contingent of athletes at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Long before then, Jenny Sandison, an Anglo-Indian from Bengal, played at Wimbledon in 1918, and lost in the first round. In 1934, Leela Row, another Anglo-Indian, became the first Indian woman to win a match in Wimbledon. Much later, in 1952, Rita Davar, became the runner-up in the junior girls event at Wimbledon.
In track and field, women made slower strides. In the 1954 Asian Games in Manila, the Indian women's relay team picked up a gold; and in the next games in Tokyo in 1958, Stephie D'Souza won a silver medal. A hockey tournament for women began in 1947, and a women's team participated for the first time in an international hockey tournament in 1953 in England.
Yet, before Independence and in the years after it, Indian sportswomen were gentrified and belonged to affluent, westernised communities. "Before 1947, hockey and basketball were the two most popular sports among women in India, even though it was mostly Europeans, Anglo-Indians, and Parsis who played them," says Sen.
No longer. With a deepening of democracy, rising aspiration and improved and more accessible facilities in many states, most sports in India are no longer the preserve of the rich.
The number of female sports icons is also growing. Top-ranking badminton player and Olympics bronze-winner Saina Nehwal, daughter of a government employee, is believed to be one of the richest woman athletes in India. Tennis star Sania Mirza, a former number one in doubles, is also idolised by many. Boxer Mary Kom, Olympic bronze-medallist and five-time world champion, is the daughter of a landless farmer from the remote and troubled state of Manipur where, according to one writer, "aspiration is not even visible on its streets". Kom has inspired a bunch of women boxers from the state.
The rise and rise of women in sports also mirrors the intense social churning in India.
Take, for example, Sakshi Malik, 23, who began wrestling 12 years ago only because she "wanted to fly on a plane and visit a foreign country".
She hails from a village in Haryana, a northern state with a dreadful sex ratio of 879 women per 1,000 men - her village actually fares worse. Born to a transport worker father and a government child and primary education care mother, she holds a masters degree in physical education, and lives in a two-storey building with a Volkswagen Polo in the front porch. Her brother runs the village's only Subway sandwich franchise.
Paradoxically, a state infamous for its low sex ratio, kangaroo courts, women in veils and stark patriarchy is producing a large number of women athletes: 12 of the 20-strong contingent from Haryana to Rio are women.
The new generation of Indian sportswomen are also the grittiest of them all. Dipa Karmakar risked her life to perform the Produnova vault, widely known as one of the most dangerous feats in gymnastics; Malik overcame deficits in the dying seconds of her bout, and Sindhu, minutes after a spell of losing 7 out of 9 points, won 11 consecutive points to reach the final.
"They are severe risk takers, have a never-say-die determination and a seething killer instinct. These are not qualities we associate with Indians, and certainly not its women," says writer and filmmaker Jaideep Varma.
"It can't just be a coincidence, can it? Is something significantly transformative going on here? Something that goes beyond pride, beyond women, and beyond sport?"
Sociologist Ravinder Kaur believes the performances in sport clearly show that Indian women "wish to write their own futures".
"More and more young girls want to break barriers and fulfil the same ambitions as men or their own ambitions and are less afraid and less cowed down by societal controls," she says. This is truly revolutionary.
Leicester striker Vardy, 29, is deciding over a reported £120,000-a-week offer from Arsenal.
Vardy, who is part of England's Euro 2016 squad in France, only signed a new three-year deal worth a reported £60,000-a-week in February.
The Gunners triggered Vardy's release clause with a £20m bid on Friday.
Leicester are reported to have made an improved counter-offer in a bid to keep Vardy, who scored 24 goals to help Claudio Ranieri's side claim an historic first top-flight title.
Vardy had been expected to make a decision on Monday before flying to France with England, but he arrived at the team's base in Chantilly with no update on his future.
Arsenal are continuing to wait and hope a decision will come before the tournament starts on 10 June.
"If Jamie goes then one or two others might want to leave as well," ex-Northern Ireland international Taggart told BBC Radio 5 live. "The whole Leicester ethos over the last couple of seasons has been built around people like Vardy.
"I know the backroom staff at Leicester very well and if it does happen they will try and bring in the best replacement they can for whatever money is available. But for the good of the whole team and the club it is important Vardy stays."
Vardy joined Leicester from Fleetwood for £1m in 2012.
He was named the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year for 2015-16 and has scored three times in eight games for England since his debut in 2015.
The House of Lords EU Committee said the power would be contained in a treaty between the UK and Ireland, subject to approval from Brussels.
The peers stressed that trade between the countries must be safeguarded.
Irish and UK citizens should continue to have freedom of movement in the two countries, they also said.
The UK plans to trigger the EU exit procedure - Article 50 - by 31 March.
Peers warned that if the government and the EU institutions failed to pay enough attention to the consequences of Brexit for Ireland, north and south, they risked undermining "the efforts of all those who have worked so hard for peace and good relations across these islands".
They said: "The key aspects of that agreement should include... providing the Northern Ireland Executive with the right to make decisions about the free movement of EU nationals within its jurisdiction."
The EU is reluctant to grant the UK free trading rights if restrictions are imposed on the movements of its citizens.
The UK's only European land border is between Northern Ireland and the Republic and the committee said Brexit was a "huge challenge" for Ireland.
The report called for continuation of the open land border between the UK and Ireland and ease of movement across the sea between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.
It also recommended:
The government has yet to determine whether it will seek to impose restrictions on the free movement of EU citizens to live and work in the UK, the report said.
The document said the introduction of curbs could particularly affect industries already reliant on EU labour including the cross-border agri-food sector.
Other EU member states are seeking assurances about how their citizens already resident in Northern Ireland will be treated.
The Lords report said: "Short of the introduction of full immigration controls on the Irish land border, the solution would either be acceptance of a low level of cross-border movement by EU workers, or allowing Northern Ireland to reach its own settlement on the rights of EU citizens to live and work there."
That would require UK government approval to an adjustment of the devolution settlement.
It did not appear that Brexit would substantially undermine the legal framework of the 1998 Belfast Agreement, but the lords noted the potential "psychological impact" of Brexit in undermining confidence.
They urged the government to enhance the role of the Joint Ministerial Committee for the duration of the talks to ensure that the interests of all devolved nations and regions were properly understood and respected.
Lynette White was stabbed more than 50 times in the Cardiff docklands flat where she worked.
The quashed convictions led to the failed trial of eight officers in 2011.
The review will look at whether 227 boxes of documents were overlooked.
Home Secretary Theresa May told MPs that Richard Horwell QC would lead the investigation, which will begin on 2 March and aim to complete its findings by the summer.
It will also look at the reasons why leading counsel for the prosecution lost confidence in the disclosure process and the case was abandoned.
The review will investigate whether lessons have been learnt from the collapse of the trial.
South Wales Police Chief Constable Peter Vaughan said the force "has been determined to find the truth about Lynette White's tragic murder and to investigate alleged police wrongdoing in the first investigation. This commitment led to the conviction of Jeffrey Gafoor for Lynette's murder.
"We have fully supported and cooperated with reviews undertaken by the Independent Police Complaints Commission and Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate and will provide the same level of commitment to Mr Horwell QC."
Mrs May said: "The government takes police integrity very seriously. It is at the heart of public confidence in the police and underpins our model of policing by consent.
"It is nearly 25 years since three men were wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of Lynette White.
"There are still unresolved questions surrounding the reasons why no one was found responsible for this appalling miscarriage of justice.
"That is why I have launched a QC-led Investigation into the collapse of this trial so the men who were wrongly convicted and the wider public will see these questions answered."
Tony Paris, Yusef Abdullahi and Stephen Miller - who became known as the Cardiff Three - were wrongly jailed in 1990 for Ms White's murder.
The three were sentenced to life but were freed in December 1992 after their convictions were overturned.
In 2003, new DNA technology led police to Ms White's real killer - Jeffrey Gafoor, who confessed to stabbing her in a row over £30.
The 2011 trial of former South Wales Police officers for offences connected with the 1990 trial, including conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and perjury, collapsed because of a series of disclosure failings on behalf of South Wales Police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
The paper is part of its negotiations with the European Union and the broad ideas in the document appear familiar.
It says the government does not want to see any physical infrastructure at the Irish border, such as customs posts.
But Brexit critics have complained that the UK's proposals lack credible detail on how that aim could be achieved.
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK which will share a land border with an EU member state when Britain leaves the EU in March 2019.
The future management of that border is a highly sensitive issue and is one of three main priorities in UK-EU Brexit negotiations.
As revealed on Tuesday, Brexit Secretary David Davis wants a time-limited period to implement any new customs arrangements, including considerations relating to the "unique circumstances" of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The government has repeated its desire to maintain the Common Travel Area and the rights of UK and Irish citizens, and to uphold the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
The paper also dismisses the idea of a customs border in the Irish Sea, saying it would be economically and constitutionally unviable.
It recognises that all this needs to be negotiated with the EU, in the hope that the border between the EU and the UK will be as "seamless" as possible.
An Irish government spokesperson welcomed the position paper as "timely and helpful" as it offers more clarity on the UK's strategy.
However, they warned: "Protecting the peace process is crucial and it must not become a bargaining chip in the negotiations."
Campaigners who oppose Brexit have claimed that the re-introduction of a so-called "hard border" would severely damage the Northern Ireland peace process and have a negative economic impact.
UK-Irish trade in numbers
Both the UK and Irish governments have repeatedly stated their opposition to a hard border, but the situation is complicated as the UK intends to leave the EU's customs union.
The position paper sets out two "broad approaches" to future customs arrangements that the UK hopes will help to prevent physical customs posts along the Irish border.
The suggestions are a "new customs partnership" or a "highly streamlined customs arrangement".
The partnership model would "align" customs approaches between the UK and the EU, resulting in "no customs border at all between the UK and Ireland," the paper claims.
The paper suggests the second, "highly-streamlined" arrangement could include:
Countries in the customs union do not impose tariffs - taxes on imports - on each other's goods.
Every country inside the union levies the same tariffs on imports from abroad.
So, for example, a 10% tariff is imposed on some cars imported from outside the customs union, while 7.5% is imposed on roasted coffee.
Other goods - such as soap or slate - have no tariffs.
The UK has said it is leaving the EU's customs union because as a member it is unable to strike trade deals with other countries.
A UK Government source said they had some "very clear principles" in designing an "unprecedented model" for the Irish border post-Brexit.
"Top of our list is to agree upfront no physical border infrastructure - that would mean a return to the border posts of the past and is completely unacceptable to the UK."
The source added that protecting UK-Irish trade was "vital" and claimed the paper "sets out some creative options on customs and shows the priority we place on making progress on this".
But Labour MP Conor McGinn, who grew up in Northern Ireland, accused the government of "vagueness and posturing".
"These proposals on a light touch border are lighter still on detail," he said.
"They don't outline how a frictionless or seamless border can be achieved when the UK leaves the EU and won't reassure anybody about the impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland."
Colm Eastwood, leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), said the government seemed to be "effectively playing for more time".
"The British government is still not ready, or at least unwilling, to publish serious or credible proposals on Brexit," he said.
The Irish government's spokesperson said leaders in Dublin would analyse the ideas in detail and discuss them with the European Commission and the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier.
In a report, Auditor General Kieran Donnelly confirmed that the health and social care service was facing an unprecedented financial challenge.
This has led to trusts carrying forward an underlying deficit of £115m into 2014/15
However, only the Belfast trust broke even, as a result of the extra money it received.
According to the auditor, previous additional funding has "masked" rather than "addressed" underlying financial pressures.
The report acknowledges that as continued reliance on additional funding is unrealistic, sustainable solutions to the increasing financial pressures must be found.
With an ageing population the health and social services sector is likely to face further funding constraints in the future and can also expect to see a rise in demand for services.
While it has been given some financial protection it is recognised that the financial health of the various bodies is weak and declining.
The report says: "In the face of rising inflationary cost pressures, demographic pressures from an increasing and ageing population and the pressures associated with new treatments and patient expectations while at the same time delivering a challenging programme of efficiency savings."
The report also raises the issues of failed cancer treatment targets and tackling potential fraud.
Hospitals failed to meet the 62-day target for cancer patients to start treatment.
Overall, hospitals did not meet the target to ensure that 95% of patients began their first cancer treatment within 62 days, following an urgent GP referral in any month during the two-year period to 31 March 2014.
In the period under review, 446 negligence claims were settled costing more than £81m while the cost of 3,000 outstanding claims has been estimated at approximately £121m.
While fraud was not identified by the report, £5.7m of potentially inappropriate expenditure was found and this was sufficient evidence to proceed with disciplinary action.
On the issue of transforming your care, the auditor is to examine how it is being managed in more detail.
Mr Donnelly notes that the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Michael McBride, is also acting as chief executive of the Belfast Health and Social Care trust.
He says it is unlikely that the position will be permanently filled until later this year.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the in/out referendum will take place by 2017.
A bill paving the way for the referendum was included in the Queen's Speech.
BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins said the precise wording of the question had not been confirmed.
But it is expected to allow those who want Britain to remain in the EU to style themselves as the Yes campaign, with the question expected to be along the lines of: "Should the UK remain a member of the EU?"
Our correspondent said: "What we won't get [in the Queen's Speech], I'm told, is the absolute, finalised official version of that question. There's likely to be more discussion about it, but I'm led to believe that what we are heading towards is a question along the lines of whether the UK should remain in the EU.
"That is significant because it would allow those who want the status quo to continue once there has been a renegotiation, who want the UK to remain a member of the EU, to style themselves as the Yes campaign. Yes to stay in, Yes to remain.
"So it could be that there is some discussion of that over the coming days."
In the Queen's Speech, Mr Cameron said he would renegotiate the UK's membership and pursue reform of the European Union "for the benefit of all member states", pledging "early legislation" to pave the way for a referendum by the end of 2017.
Downing Street said this would give the public a "voice and a real choice on Europe".
It has also confirmed that members of the House of Lords and citizens of Commonwealth countries living in Gibraltar will be entitled to vote in the referendum - as well as UK nationals who have been living abroad for less than 15 years.
A close Senate race pits the first-term incumbent Jeanne Shaheen against Scott Brown, the former senator from neighbouring Massachusetts, who has crossed the state line in a bid to revive his political career.
Brown, a former colonel in the Army National Guard and a Republican hero for winning the 2010 special election to succeed the Democrat's great lion of the Senate, Ted Kennedy, is focusing on national security issues.
Appearing at a veterans' hall in Nashua this week, Brown called for President Obama to shut the border with Mexico and to issue clearer guidelines on Ebola.
To raucous applause, he also assailed the Obama administration for its sluggish response to the rise of Islamic State. A vote for him, he claimed, would be a vote to restore America's global leadership.
"If you want to change the direction of not only our state but our country, you want to make sure that our allies trust us, you want to make sure that our foes fear and respect us, because I want to be feared by our military," he said, in a slightly mangled soundbite.
With the race set for a photo-finish, Brown co-opted help from Senator John McCain, whose presence in the Granite State always has something of a favourite son feel, even though he hails from Arizona.
Twice the winner of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, in 2000 and again in 2008, McCain looks upon New Hampshire veterans' halls as his natural political habitat. Small wonder. The one-time prisoner of war, who thundered through the state on his battle bus the Straight Talk Express, is revered here.
Reviving memories of the 2000 campaign, McCain started his short speech with his trademark military humour. The former Navy pilot deadpanned that he didn't join the Marines because he knew the identity of both his parents. But the laughing stopped when he lambasted the president, his much younger opponent in the 2008 presidential election, for a "feckless" foreign policy.
Afterwards, I asked him whether he truly thought that foreign policy could swing this close-fought Senate race.
"I think that the American people have become incredibly interested," he said. "We have seen the polling numbers as far as issues of importance to the American people, we've seen it jump from almost nothing to probably number two behind the economy. Yes, I believe it's an issue. When Americans see this hideous, grotesque [image of] Americans being beheaded, it gets the American people's attention and that's reflected in the polls, not just my opinion."
In New Hampshire, this foreign focus certainly appears to have altered the race. A few months back, Shaheen looked like a shoo-in for a second term. In recent weeks, the polls have narrowed and the all-important late momentum appears to be with Brown.
Yet for all the attempts to nationalise and internationalise the New Hampshire race, there is also a distinctly local flavour. Jeanne Shaheen, the first female senator in the state's history, is a former governor who won a hat-trick of gubernatorial elections. Though born in Missouri, she moved to New Hampshire in the early 1970s, and first won a seat in the state Senate almost 25 years ago.
Seeking to tap into feelings of intense New Hampshire pride exemplified by its famed motto "Live free or die," she is casting Brown, who only moved to the state last year, as an opportunistic outsider - what Americans call a carpetbagger. Not only that, she is portraying him as a Massachusetts reject. Brown, remember, was defeated in the 2012 Senate race by the Democrat Elizabeth Warren.
For his part, Brown is also trying to appeal to another strand of New Hampshire thinking, its fierce sense of independence. Shaheen, he says, is rigidly partisan, a Democrat who supports the president 99% of the time. He would be more free-thinking.
A small state that has long had a disproportionate say about who ends up in the White House will also be crucial in determining which party controls the Senate. And ultimately this race could hinge on who has the biggest negatives: Scott Brown or Barack Obama.
Det Sgt Gerallt Davies is accused of gross misconduct at hearing which started on Tuesday in Colwyn Bay.
He admitted six allegations of misconduct involving accessing police systems from 5 January to 5 February.
His "dozens of searches" were about incidents involving the PCSO and a police constable.
Det Sgt Davies denies two further allegations of contravening a lawful order.
The hearing is the first one of its kind to be held in public in north Wales under new legislation.
At the start of the hearing, barrister Simon Walsh, the presenting officer, said the public had no legitimate interest in knowing the names of the PCSO or the PC.
Richard Debicki, assistant chief constable of North Wales Police, is chairing the hearing and the three-person panel includes another senior officer.
Det Sgt Davies's barrister Trevor Parry-Jones said: "This is a serious matter. The officer's future is at stake."
The hearing will continue on Wednesday.
He is just the eighth rider to win the race at least three times and is just two behind joint record holders Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault of France, Belgium's Eddy Merckx and Miguel Indurain of Spain.
The 2013 and 2015 champion took the race lead with a victory on stage eight and held on to it for the next 13 stages to win in Paris.
This is how the race unfolded.
Report: Cavendish wins to wear yellow for first time
Mark Cavendish produced a sensational sprint to claim his 27th Tour de France stage win and put himself in the yellow jersey for the first time. Coastal cross-winds did not create too much havoc on a day when one of the race favourites, Alberto Contador, crashed heavily but escaped with bruises. Defending champion Chris Froome was anonymous for much of the day, which is just how he would have wanted it.
Report: Sagan claims first yellow jersey with stage win
A solo break by Jasper Stuyven came within 500m of producing an upset but he was caught with the finish line in sight. Peter Sagan battled with Julian Alaphilippe on the run-in and the Slovak world champion emerged victorious, although he did not initially realise he had won the stage. Chris Froome and Nairo Quintana finish together but Alberto Contador and Richie Porte lose time.
Report: Cavendish edges out Greipel to draw level with Hinault
A photo finish was needed to split Mark Cavendish and Andre Greipel in Angers. The German looked to have won the stage but a late lunge from the Manx Missile saw him nick it by millimetres on the line. The victory was Cavendish's 28th Tour stage win, pulling him level with French legend Bernard Hinault and joint second on the all-time list behind Eddy Merckx on 34. Peter Sagan retained the race lead as the favourites for the overall win all finished together.
Report: Cavendish misses out as Kittel wins thrilling finish
For the second stage running, a photo finish was needed to decide the winner, and this time it was German Marcel Kittel holding off Frenchman Bryan Coquard by millimetres on the line. Peter Sagan retained the yellow jersey by finishing third and Mark Cavendish remained on 28 stage wins as he came eighth. Chris Froome and his overall rivals finished safely with the same time as the winner.
Report: Van Avermaet takes five-minute Tour lead
Belgian Greg van Avermaet was the sole survivor of an early breakaway as he conquered the first mountain stage of this year's Tour to take the yellow jersey. Defending champion Chris Froome dropped more than five minutes behind Van Avermaet, but remains level with his main rivals for the title.
Report: Cavendish secures 29th Tour stage win
Mark Cavendish earned a 29th career stage win, taking him above Bernaud Hinault to second outright in the overall Tour standings, after a thrilling sprint finish. The Manxman rode on the back of Marcel Kittel's wheel to beat the German to the line, also picking up the green jersey. Britain's Daniel McLay finished third, with Belgian Greg van Avermaet remaining in yellow.
Report: Cummings takes brilliant second Tour win
Steve Cummings formed part of a breakaway on the first stage in the Pyrenees to earn a brilliant solo victory and a fourth win for British riders in this year's Tour and for the Dimension Data team. Britain's Adam Yates fell foul of a collapsed inflatable marking the 1km to go point, while Greg van Avermaet produced a solid display to stay in yellow.
Report: Froome launches surprise attack to win stage and take yellow
After a quiet start to the Tour, defending champion Chris Froome exploded into this year's race by launching an unexpected attack on the descent into the finish at Bagneres de Luchon. Team Sky set up the win with a grinding surge up the Col de Peyresourde but Froome surprised his rivals by sprinting down the other side, edging fellow Briton Adam Yates into second place in the overall standings.
Report: Dumoulin breaks clear to take stage win as Froome retains yellow
On a day of contrasting weather, Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin was one of a big group to break free of the peloton in scorching temperatures. He attacked on the final descent of the first mountain-top finish of the Tour in pouring rain to earn his first Tour de France win. Chris Froome withstood several late attacks from his yellow jersey rivals to come through the day unscathed. Adam Yates stayed second in the general classification.
Report: Matthews sprints to victory as Froome enjoys easy day in yellow
Australia's Michael Matthews achieved a first Tour win thanks to a breakaway masterclass from his Orica-BikeExchange team-mates. Matthews beat the more isolated Peter Sagan to the line, although the Tinkoff rider took over in the green points jersey from Mark Cavendish. Chris Froome enjoyed an easy day in yellow as the main contenders gained no advantage.
Report: Sagan wins after unlikely break with Froome
The expected bunch sprint in Montpellier failed to materialise after Peter Sagan and Chris Froome took advantage of cross winds to break clear in the final 15km and take a one-two on the stage. Both riders benefited with Froome extending his lead over Adam Yates and Nairo Quintana by 12 seconds, while Sagan moved 90 points clear in the green jersey classification.
Report: Froome gets running after chaotic finish
It was one of the most remarkable days the Tour de France had seen in its 113-year history.
With the stage reaching the final moments, Richie Porte crashed into a motorbike, bringing Chris Froome and Bauke Mollema down with him, after the trio had escaped their yellow jersey rivals. Froome, with his bike unusable, started to jog towards the finish line, before being given a replacement bike, but could not get his cycling shoes into the pedals. The defending champion finally received a new bike, but finished down on his rivals. The times were eventually neutralised, meaning Froome kept hold of the yellow jersey. Thomas de Gendt won the stage having been part of an early 13-man breakaway.
Report: Froome increases lead as Tour pays tribute to Nice victims
Tour de France organisers had considered cancelling the stage after Thursday's attack in Nice that killed at least 84 people. But racing continued, with heightened security and in a sombre atmosphere, as a minute's silence was held before and after the stage.
On the road, Chris Froome extended his lead in the yellow jersey to one minute and 47 seconds, after finishing second in the time trial behind Dutchman Tom Dumoulin.
Report: Cavendish wins 30th career Tour stage
Mark Cavendish's excellent Tour continued as he won his fourth stage his year - taking his career tally to 30, just four short of Eddy Merckx's record. Cavendish upset rival Marcel Kittel, who believed he was cut up by the Manxman on the way to the finish line, but the result stood.
It was a more relaxing day for the general classification contenders, with Chris Froome finishing in the peloton and maintaining his lead of one minute 47 seconds in the yellow jersey.
Report: Froome maintains lead as Pantano wins
At the end of a stage considered one of the Tour's most difficult, overall leader Chris Froome went surprisingly unchallenged across the Jura Mountains and maintained his lead of one minute 47 seconds ahead of his closest rival, Dutchman Bauke Mollema. Briton Froome knows it will now take something special to prevent him winning a third Tour title.
Colombia celebrated its first stage win of the 2016 Tour, with Jarlinson Pantano (IAM Cycling) outsprinting Poland's Rafal Majka to claim his maiden Grand Tour stage win.
Report: Sagan claims third win as Froome stays in yellow
Peter Sagan beat Alexander Kritstoff in the third photo finish of this year's race to earn a third stage win. The victory also ensured that if the Slovak can make it to the finish in Paris, he will hold onto the green jersey for a fifth consecutive year. Chris Froome finished safely after what he called a "sketchy" end to the stage and admitted he was looking forward to a rest day before the final push in the Alps.
Report:Froome tightens grip on Tour as Zakarin wins stage
Any faint hopes that Chris Froome's rivals had of chasing down the 2013 and 2015 champion seemed to evaporate, as Bauke Mollema and Nairo Quintana were both dropped on the steep ascent to finish line at Finhaut-Emosson. Froome's fellow Briton Adam Yates continued his wonderful Tour, though, and Ilnur Zakarin had the legs to hold off Jarlinson Pantano to win the gruelling stage, which was held entirely in Switzerland.
Report: Froome close to third Tour title after time trial win
Britain's Chris Froome timed his race to perfection to beat Tom Dumoulin and win a second stage on this year's race and extend his lead over the field to move almost four minutes clear of Bauke Mollema in second. Fellow Briton Adam Yates retained third overall just 21 seconds clear of Nairo Quintana in fourth in the race for the podium places.
Report: Bardet wins stage as Froome suffers crash
In another dramatic stage, Romain Bardet attacked up the last climb of the day to earn a first French win on this year's Tour after several riders crashed in wet conditions, including yellow jersey holder Chris Froome. The Team Sky rider, who also ran up Mont Ventoux after crashing into a motorbike, is forced to borrow the bike of team-mate Geraint Thomas, but extended his lead as second-placed Bauke Mollema tumbled down the general classification.
Report: Froome set to retain Tour title
After all the drama of this year's Tour, the final day of general classification racing ended up being straightforward for Chris Froome. And he will have been relieved. The wet conditions and the steep, downhill finish could have made it difficult for team Sky to protect their man, but Froome was barely troubled and will go into Sunday's largely processional stage to Paris knowing he jut needs to finish to become the first Briton to win three Tour de France titles and be the first to successfully defend it since Miguel Indurain in the 1990s.
Movistar's Jon Izaguirre won his first grand Tour stage by outpacing Vincenzo Nibali and Jarlinson Pantano on the final descent.
Report:Froome wins third title as Greipel wins in Paris
Chris Froome sipped beer and champagne on the ride to Paris before crossing the finish line arm-in-arm with the eight Team Sky riders who helped him become the first Briton to win three Tour titles. Germany's Andre Greipel continued his record of winning at least one stage in each Grand Tour he has competed in with a second career victory on the Champs-Elysees.
Fellow Briton Adam Yates finished fourth to win the white jersey as best young rider, while world champion Peter Sagan claimed the points classification and Rafal Majka took the polka dot king of the mountains top.

Geraint Thomas was talking to BBC Sport's Peter Scrivener.
Oshoala won both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball - as Player of the Tournament - at last year's Under-20 World Cup Finals, and becomes the first player from Africa to compete in the Women's Super League.
"We beat a number of top American and European clubs to Asisat's signature," said Beard as he welcomed the 20-year-old striker. "Asisat is one of the best young players in the world."
In addition to her star performances in the U20 World Cup, Oshoala also collected the Golden Ball award as the senior Nigeria team qualified for the 2015 World Cup by winning the African Women's Championship.
And she was named 2014's African Women's Player of the Year and Youth Player of the Year after helping her club side Rivers Angels become Nigerian champions.
Beard added: "She's not the finished article yet but she's got pace, power and she certainly knows where the goal is.
"I watched her at the Under-20 World Cup, where she was sensational, and we had early dialogue with her about coming to Liverpool.
"There's been plenty of other interest in her in the last few months, but she chose to join us and I'm absolutely delighted."
Oshoala, nicknamed 'Seedorf' after Dutch legend Clarence, said: "To be able to join the reigning Super League champions is absolutely fantastic.

"Liverpool Ladies are a massive club with some fantastic players who I believe can help me to develop my game to the next level.
"It was also a big incentive to be able to play in the Women's Champions League, which is a huge competition that I'm confident we can do well in."
Oshoala is Beard's fourth signing of the window after he also added Satara Murray, Ingrid Ryland and Line Krogedal Smorsgard to his squad.
Key players Lucy Bronze and Amanda da Costa have departed, to Manchester City and Washington Spirit respectively.
But the manager reckoned: "With the addition of these four new players I believe this is the best squad I've ever put together.
"We've won the league for the last two years and we'll aim to do it again, although next season is going to be the most competitive ever.
"Clubs like Manchester City and Notts County have recruited really well and I can see four or five teams battling it out for the title.
"We can be one of them, especially if we can avoid the dreadful injury problems we had early on last season."

Dutchman Frank de Boer, 47, has been named as Allardyce's successor as manager, signing a three-year contract.
The Eagles finished 14th in the Premier League last season after Allardyce joined in December and bought in four new players the following month.
"We can't do that every year, we need to be smarter than that," said Parish.
Palace were 17th in the Premier League after a run of one win in 11 games when Allardyce was appointed.
They signed defenders Patrick van Aanholt and Mamadou Sakho, midfielder Luka Milivojevic and the versatile Jeffrey Schlupp in the January transfer window.
Parish told BBC Radio 5 live: "We need to get to a comfortable place in this division. That will take hard work, planning, thinking.
"We bought our way out of it last season by bringing Sam in and the money we spent in January."
De Boer had been out of work since he was sacked by Italian side Inter Milan in November after only 85 days in charge.
At his first news conference as Palace manager, he said he had learned "a lot" from his time at the San Siro.
"Frank had prepared a long presentation about himself and he researched about the club and where we were," said Parish.
"He took a lot of time and trouble to articulate what his philosophy, thinking and feelings were about the club and what he could achieve.
"We spoke about Inter and what went wrong and what lessons he learnt there."

De Boer managed Ajax from 2010 to 2016, winning the Eredivisie in four successive seasons from 2011 to 2015.
Parish said: "We are hoping not to just improve the first team but to look at the whole set-up of the club and use his knowledge, experience and probably the blueprint of a club that does things the right way in Ajax.
"It's about improving players and buying the right talent at the right age."
Parish said he would like to take Palace to a position where they are "five, six, or seven points away from any kind of consideration of danger".
'It's not about whether they're British or foreign'
De Boer is Palace's first foreign permanent manager.
"It's not about whether they're British or foreign, it's knowledge and belief," said Parish.
"For example, when I look at a manager from abroad in the middle of the season, they don't know a lot of our squad. They have to come over, find a house, get their family settled. By then, two, three or four games have gone by.
"We now have six or seven weeks of full pre-season and someone who speaks very good English and good knowledge of the world game."
'Money where money needs to be spent'
De Boer has said he is excited to join a club that "spend a lot of money," but Parish said their outlay will be controlled.
"We need to spend money where money needs to be spent and then be astute when there's no need to spend," he said.
"We always look to the market to improve the squad but Frank first of all needs to understand what he can achieve, his best formation, and the pegs he needs to put in the holes to improve."
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association was looking into a game where six-time world champion Davis, 55, beat his Thai opponent 4-0.
A WPBSA statement said: "There is insufficient evidence to show that there has been any breach of the rules.
"[The WPBSA] will take no further action regarding this matter."
The players were competing in the third round of the Players Tour Championship in Gloucester on 8 September.
It is understood that the WPBSA did not believe Davis had breached rules.
After contacting various bodies including the Gambling Commission, the WPBSA determined there was no proof of wrongdoing.
Ranking: 79th in the world
Turned professional: 2009
Age: 27
Career highs: First established himself as one of Asia's most promising players when he won the IBSF World Championship in 2008, beating Colm Gilcreest 11-7 in the final.
The WPBSA had been made aware that the odds on Asian betting exchanges moved considerably in the hours before the match.
From around an 8-11 odds-on favourite, the betting odds for the 27-year-old Thai player, ranked 79th in the world, drifted to 11-8 against by the time the game had begun.
Davis, who is ranked 49th in the world, won the match in an hour and 25 minutes, taking the four frames 88-9, 85-22, 68-60, 72-44.
WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson said at the time that "any player found guilty of such a breach is likely to be banned for life from snooker. Protecting the integrity of the sport of snooker is of paramount importance."
The £66m project to upgrade the building and provide more display space also received listed building consent.
Glasgow City Council recently approved funding of up to £27.3m towards the cost of the refurbishment.
The Burrell collection has more than 8,000 artefacts, but fewer than a fifth of them have been on show at any one time.
In April 2015, the council provided £5.7m to kick-start the building's revamp, which houses treasures donated to the city by collector Sir William Burrell in 1944.
Architect John McAslan said the planning approval was a "major step forward".
"We are delighted approval has been granted for the renaissance of the Burrell.
"The scheme has been shaped by the need to address the strains on the current building, by a need to respond to the works held in the collection, and by a desire to contribute further to the Burrell's unique setting of Pollok Country Park.
"This decision will ensure the Burrell Collection maintains its strong significance within Scotland and internationally."
When it re-opens to visitors in 2020, the basement of the Category A listed building will become part of the exhibition space, so that 90% of the objects can be viewed by the public.
A dedicated space will also be created for special exhibitions and offices will be converted into galleries.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has given £15m to the project and the UK government has also contributed £5m.
Speaking to TV critics in LA, LeBlanc added: "There's nothing officially happening yet. Follow the BBC."
Top Gear's prospects were thrown into doubt in July when his co-host Chris Evans announced he was stepping down.
Speaking after his departure, Evans said the series had proved LeBlanc and Top Gear "were made for each other".
Former Friends star LeBlanc was "the man" and a "total mensch", Evans said, scotching reports that the pair's relationship broke down during filming.
Asked by the critics what he liked most about the job, LeBlanc said "probably the travel" to countries including South Africa, Morocco and Ireland.
He also said he liked the show's "broad demographic".
"Everybody can relate to an automobile," he added.
The BBC has said it has no plans to replace Evans when Top Gear returns for a 24th season.
Evans' resignation followed falling ratings, with overnight audiences dropping from 4.4 million to 1.9 million viewers during the course of the 23rd series.
Evans said working on the show had been an "honour, privilege and pleasure", and he had tried his best at the helm but it "was not meant to be".
He had been "a square peg in a round hole", he added.
Evans and LeBlanc were the main presenters on a team of six, which also included Rory Reid, Sabine Schmitz, Chris Harris and Eddie Jordan. The Stig also returned for the reversioned show.
They took over from Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, whose new venture with Amazon, the Grand Tour, is expected to be released in the autumn.
LeBlanc was speaking to critics while promoting his new show Man With A Plan on American network CBS, in which he plays a father who cares for his children after his wife takes a full-time job.
Evans continues to host his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show.

Traditionally a light switch-on day and a Diwali day event, with a firework display, is held in the Belgrave area.
This year, the planned two-week celebration will have new activities in the city centre, in libraries and museums and at the football stadium.
Leicester City Council said it would be "bigger and brighter than ever".
The annual Diwali events, which attract more than 35,000 people along Leicester's Golden Mile, are believed to be among the biggest celebrations outside of India.
However, Anand Bhatt, a dance school owner, had said: "Diwali has become stale, in that the same thing keeps happening."
The revamped festival will begin with the Diwali light switch-on on Sunday 1 November.
The switch on will be followed by city-wide events including a 100ft (30m) ferris wheel on the Belgrave Road, a Diwali Mela on Humberstone Gate West, live Rangoli at the Clock Tower, cookery demonstrations at Leicester Market, exhibitions at the Peepul Centre and dance at Leicester City's King Power Stadium.
Mr Bhatt said the new programme was good progress, but it still felt like a local event.
"We need people to be tweeting at that moment that this was the most incredible experience, or uploading their You Tube videos," he said.
"We need moments that make people go, 'wow'."
Councillor Piara Singh-Clair, assistant city mayor, said: "We need to improve, make it more vibrant and appealing to people who come from outside Leicester."
He said that the change had been a result of community feedback and support from other local organisations.
The department, which has 320 staff, analyses local media from 150 countries in 100 different languages, but the operation is to be scaled down.
The World Service said the Mazar-i-Sharif bureau in Afghanistan will be closed and new bases will open in Istanbul and Jerusalem.
The team will relocate from Caversham Park in Reading, its base since 1943.
The BBC said it would begin consultations with unions shortly.
The loss of jobs will mean a reduction of nearly a third.
It is understood that the service's new headquarters will be based in London.
At least 65 jobs in the department are being cut in the Reading office.
The service, which provides international content and communications to BBC News, governments and commercial clients, was previously funded by the UK government, but since 2013 it has been paid for by the licence fee.
World Service Group director Francesca Unsworth said: "Like all media organisations, BBC Monitoring has to keep pace with the new landscape of digital and social media.
"And, like the rest of the BBC, Monitoring needs to make savings."
The service's budget for 2016/17 was £13.2m, but £4m has been cut amid cost-cutting across the BBC.
But that was 31 years ago, when the Soviet Union still existed, when Hungary was a communist country under its influence and when the Berlin Wall was a division between two ideologies, not a graffiti-laden tourist attraction.
Now, with age has come history and memories, and the Hungarian Grand Prix is regarded with affection.
As Lewis Hamilton said after winning the British Grand Prix at Silverstone: "They don't build circuits like this or Hungary any more. They just have that character and history."
At 2.7 miles, the track is relatively short for a modern grand prix circuit, and it winds around a dusty natural amphitheatre 12 miles or so outside buzzing, beautiful, historic Budapest, near a water park, whose coloured slides are visible on the hillside from the paddock.
The average speed is quite slow, but it's not a slow track. And that's not a contradiction. Yes, some of the corners are slow, but the reason the average speed is relatively low is because there are so many of them, and a fair proportion of them are medium-speed and very demanding.
The fast, uphill, blind kink at Turn Four is one of them. Turn Five might be 150 degrees or so, but seems to go on forever. And then, after the chicane, Turns Eight-Nine-10-11 form a fantastic section of track, switching left-right, left-right at well over 100mph.
In an ideal world, the main straight is probably a little short - overtaking is that bit too hard. But the Hungaroring's reputation for dull races has been somewhat overcome, not least by the fantastic event in 2014.
In all, it's a little like a kart track writ large, and it rewards an attacking driving style. Which are two of the reasons Lewis Hamilton has offered over the years for his incredible run of success there.
The Mercedes driver has won exactly half of his 10 races in Hungary. With that record, and after his domination of his home race last time out - and his team's apparent step forward in performance - he has to be a strong favourite to make it six out of 11 this weekend.

For Formula 1's globetrotting fraternity, Hungaroring is a very familiar destination. The circuit has been home to the Hungarian Grand Prix every year since 1986. Only Monza and Monte Carlo have hosted more races in consecutive years.
No-one can hold a torch to Lewis Hamilton in Hungary. The Briton has won the race more times than any other driver in history, triumphing on five occasions.
Michael Schumacher won it four times (1994, 1998, 2001 and 2004) while current championship leader Sebastian Vettel has won it once (2015).
Walk around Budapest on a grand prix weekend and you'll see plenty of Formula 1 fans carrying - or wearing - the Finnish flag. That's because many have adopted the race as their own, meaning Valterri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen can expect plenty of support.
In total there have been three Finnish winners of the Hungarian Grand Prix. Mika Hakkinen won in 1999 and 2000, Kimi Raikkonen in 2005 and Heikki Kovalainen in 2008, all while driving for McLaren.
Erno Rubik was born in Budapest in 1944. He invented the Rubik's cube in 1974...
... and 43-years later hundreds of the colourful cubes would be used at the Spanish Grand Prix to make up an image of Fernando Alonso's face.
It said drills by British forces would include missile launches and were part of a "pattern" of "hostile acts".
The British ambassador in Buenos Aires has been summoned by Argentina's deputy foreign minister, who will protest over the "new show of military force".
The UK Foreign Office dismissed the claims as "fanciful" and said next week's exercises were "routine".
Argentina lays claim to the islands, which it calls Las Malvinas, and said the UK planned to conduct the exercises on "occupied Argentine territory" between 14 and 27 April.
A spokesman for the Argentine embassy in London said: "This action is a new example of UK's disregard for United Nations resolutions, which call on both parties to resume negotiations over sovereignty and refrain from introducing unilateral modifications in the situation as long as the dispute persists."
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has called the islands "Nato's military base" in the region.
But a spokesman for the UK Foreign Office said the planned exercises took place at least twice year, if not every few months, and had been carried out for many years.
"Argentine claims that we are 'militarising' the South Atlantic are wholly false," the Foreign Office said.
"UK forces numbers have declined to the minimum necessary to defend the islands.
"Argentina's suggestion that the UK is seeking to threaten militarily either Argentina itself or the wider region is entirely without foundation, as is the suggestion that we deploy nuclear weapons in the region."
A total of 255 British servicemen and about 650 Argentines died in the conflict following the Argentine invasion of the islands on 2 April 1982.
Last year, Falkland Islanders took part in a referendum, voting by 1,513 to three to remain a British overseas territory.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said at the time that the result "could not have sent a clearer message".
Police said 60,000 took part in the march close to Manchester Central, where the conference is being held.
Organisers the TUC said the rally was also to highlight an "unfair" Trade Union Bill.
The government said its long term economic plan was "turning the country around" after "difficult decisions".
It added the proposed changes to strike legislation would protect the public from disruptive action.
Union leaders and officials from campaign groups addressed a rally in the city centre before leading the procession.
Singer Billy Bragg warmed up the crowd with a set on stage, changing the lyrics to his best-known songs to add topical references such as "take the money from Trident and spend it on the NHS".
Although the protest was largely good-natured, four arrests were made, including one man for allegedly spitting at a journalist.
A conference delegate was hit by an egg as the demonstration made its way through the city centre.
The Conservative conference is under way, with 12,000 delegates expected to attend over the four days.
A so-called "ring of steel" has been built around the conference venue and the nearby Midland Hotel.
At the scene
Kevin Fitzpatrick, BBC Greater Manchester political reporter
Huge numbers of people are winding their way through the city's streets this afternoon in Manchester.
Many of those gathered are holding placards and are chanting slogans against the cuts. Some are pushing prams, others in wheelchairs.
A few hundred feet away from the site of the Conservative conference, the sound of whistles and horns fills the air.
These people are angry, passionate and determined to have their voice heard.
Len McCluskey, Unite general secretary, told the rally the protest was "sending a very clear message" to the government that they faced a fightback.
Paul Novak, assistant general secretary of the TUC, said: "The government is driving through tens of billions of pounds worth of cuts to public services right across the country and at the same time trying to gag the ability of unions to protest and try to defend services.
"There are 6.5m working people in this country who are voluntarily members of unions.
"The government is trying to force through an anti-democratic bill that puts real limitations on the right to strike and people's right to protest. We think that's absolutely unfair."
The Trade Union Bill, which proposes higher voting thresholds for ballots, passed its first Commons hurdle last month despite fierce Labour criticism.
The bill, which would apply to unions in England, Wales and Scotland, will also:
A spokesman for the Conservatives said: "More people are now also in work than ever before and the trade unions who represent a number of them do have a constructive role to play in representing their rights.
"However, it is vital that these are balanced with the rights of businesses, who have a right to expect that they are not going to be disrupted at short notice by strikes organised by only a small number of union members."
In an email to conference attendees, delegates were warned not to wear Conservative-branded badges and lanyards when walking around Manchester.
Asked if this was a "sad" state of affairs, Prime Minister David Cameron told BBC One's Sunday Politics: "No, not at all. I think all my party members will enjoy very much being in Manchester.
"There are a lot of demonstrations planned, and obviously people need to take care in respect of that, but people will be enjoying all that Manchester has to offer."
On Saturday, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tweeted: "Ahead of Tory Conference I urge all activists to focus on policy & to take no part in personal attacks."
A two-day anti-austerity "protest rave" in Piccadilly Gardens was shut down by police officers on Sunday morning.
A supermoon occurs when the Moon is in the closest part of its orbit to Earth, meaning it appears larger in the sky.
The eclipse - which made the Moon appear red - has been visible in North America, South America, West Africa and Western Europe.
This phenomenon was last observed in 1982 and will not be back before 2033.
But the definition of a supermoon is debated among astronomers.
Skywatchers in the western half of North America, the rest of Europe and Africa, the Middle East and South Asia saw a partial eclipse.
From the UK, observers watched the Moon pass through the Earth's shadow in the early hours of Monday morning. In North and South America the eclipse was seen on Sunday evening.
In a total lunar eclipse, the Earth, Sun and Moon are almost exactly in line and the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.
As the full Moon moves into our planet's shadow, it dims dramatically but usually remains visible, lit by sunlight that passes through the Earth's atmosphere.
As this light travels through our planet's gaseous envelope, the green to violet portions get filtered out more than the red portion, with the result that light reaching the lunar surface is predominantly red in colour.
Observers on Earth may see a Moon that is brick-coloured, rusty, blood red or sometimes dark grey, depending on terrestrial conditions.
Dr Robert Massey, deputy executive director of the UK's Royal Astronomical Society, told BBC News that the eclipse is an "incredibly beautiful event".
A supermoon occurs when a full or new moon coincides with a Moon that is nearing its minimum distance (perigee) to Earth.
The Moon takes an elliptical orbit around Earth, which means that its average distance changes from as far as 405,000km (its apogee) to as close as 363,000km at the perigee.
The coincidence between a supermoon and an eclipse means that Earth's lone companion is expected to look 7-8% bigger. But Dr Massey added: "The definition of 'supermoon' is slightly problematic.
"Is a supermoon taking place at the perigee, the day before, the day after? Does a supermoon have to be a particularly close perigee, or can it be a bit further out? It's not very well defined."
He said a supermoon was to some extent a moveable feast compared with an eclipse, where the timing can be measured precisely.
As a result, Dr Massey explained, claims of the extreme rarity of a supermoon coinciding with an eclipse were overstated.
The supermoon should also not be confused with the Moon Illusion, which causes the Moon to appear larger near the horizon than it does higher up in the sky.
The eclipse began at 00:11 GMT, when the Moon entered the lightest part of the Earth's shadow, known as the penumbra, and adopted a yellowish colour. At 02:11 GMT the Moon completely entered the umbra - the inner dark corpus of our planet's shadow.
The point of greatest eclipse occurred at 02:47 GMT, when the Moon was closest to the centre of the umbra, with the eclipse ending at 05:22 GMT.
The Royal Astronomical Society says that unlike the solar equivalent, a total lunar eclipse event is safe to watch and needs no special equipment. | An exam paper for Scottish secondary pupils is being re-issued after a mistake was spotted.

Real - who play Bayern Munich on Tuesday - rested Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.
Duje Cop gave Sporting the lead from Mikel Vesga's flicked ball over the top but Isco levelled after good footwork.
Vesga then scored a looping header before Alvaro Morata levelled with his head and Isco got the 20-yard winner.
Madrid remain three points above Barcelona, who beat Real Sociedad by the same scoreline, although Zinedine Zidane's side have a game in hand.
Their next La Liga match is El Clasico next Sunday.
Zidane's team have now won 10 points this season from losing positions in the league, more than any other team.
Real's stars should be fresh for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg match against Bayern at the Bernabeu.
Zidane made nine changes from the side that won the first leg 2-1, with keeper Keylor Navas, Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale - who is an injury doubt - not even named on the bench for the Sporting game.
And Isco - who has made only one Champions League start all season - may have played himself into contention with an excellent game.
His opener came after beating several defenders and his 90th-minute winner came from outside the box after he was picked out by substitute Marcelo.
Sporting remain five points adrift of safety.

It's one of the easiest times to spot baby seals.
However, it's also the time of year that many seal pups are rescued - often because they can't swim properly yet, or because humans wrongly think they are helping them by putting them in the water.
The British coastline is home to 38 percent of the world's population of grey seals and Ayshah travelled down to the south coast to find out more about them.
While she was in Cornwall, a baby pup called 'Orca' washed up and had to be rescued. Now he has recovered and has been released back into the wild.
Check out this video to see the moment he goes back to the sea...
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has raised a "particular concern" over a 60,000 sq ft office block, which is part of the proposal.
Officers said the application, which is due to be discussed at the authority's planning committee later this month, "will be recommended for refusal".
The Humber Bridge Board said it would be pursuing the plans at the meeting.
Under the proposed scheme, which also includes a hotel and a restaurant overlooking the water, visitors can travel under the bridge at Hessle in a glass gondola before changing to the lift, which raises them 510 ft (155m) to the top of the north tower.
In a letter to the board, Alan Menzies, director of planning and economic regeneration, said: "The advice of officers at the pre-application stage was clear in expressing concerns that it would be difficult to justify new large scale office development in the open countryside, contrary to the town centre first approach advocated by national planning policy."
Mr Menzies went on to suggest: "If the large office building was to be withdrawn from the application then officers would then be in a position to support (in principle) the remaining elements of the scheme."
Board chairman Rob Waltham said: "When it goes to the planning committee, we will be presenting the strongest possible case to say that the plans are right for the Humber Bridge and its development."
If approved the new centre could be open at the end of 2017.
Construction began in July 1972, taking eight years to complete
It is held up by 44,117 miles (71,000km) of steel wire, almost enough to travel twice around the world
The bridge is 7,283 ft (2,220 m) long from shore to shore
It weighs more than 500,000 tonnes
With a central span of 4,626 ft (1,410m), it is the seventh longest suspension bridge in the world
It was officially opened by HM the Queen on 17 July 1981

Cody McDonald had given the Gills a half-time lead, but goals after the break from Freddie Ladapo and Flynn earned Oldham their first league win since August.
McDonald was the beneficiary of a superb inswinging corner by Bradley Dack and nodded in unmarked at the back post after 10 minutes.
He should have had his second in the 26th minute but his glancing header went straight into the arms of Connor Ripley.
Ladapo, on as a substitute on the hour-mark, scored with his first touch five minutes later, slamming a shot from 12 yards past Stuart Nelson.
But Oldham were not content to settle for just a point and former Liverpool player Flynn earned a much-needed win for manager Steve Robinson.
The midfielder pounced on a loose ball following a deflected Paul Green shot and slotted into an empty net.
The goal capped a remarkable comeback from the team who started the day bottom of the league.

The Jack Russell beat competition from other dogs that appeared in Hugo, Beginners, 50/50 and Young Adult.
Trainer Omar Von Muller accepted the award with Uggie, whose performance in Water For Elephants also made the shortlist, at the Los Angeles ceremony.
The inaugural awards recognise canine excellence in Hollywood on both the big and small screens.
Von Muller said the award was "overwhelming" adding: "He has been my buddy forever and is a great performer and great family member."
He also thanked award organisers DogNewsDaily.com saying: "This is very important for all the trainers in the movie industry, because we have never been recognised before, and people just don't understand that it takes hundreds and even thousands of hours to train a dog."
Ten-year-old Uggie has had a long career in film and television and retired following The Artist, for which he was also awarded the Palm Dog at the Cannes Film Festival.
The ceremony saw prizes awarded in five other categories, including best dog in a foreign film, best dog in a television series, best dog in a reality series and best dog in a direct-to-DVD film.
A special prize was also awarded to actress Charlize Theron - who was not present at the event - for her work on behalf of animal welfare.
Martin Scorsese also appeared at the ceremony by video.
The Hugo director wrote an editorial in the Los Angeles Times last month urging readers to begin a write-in campaign to recognise Blackie the Doberman, who starred in his film, in the main film category.
Although Blackie lost out to Uggie, the director thanked fans for their support and joked: "I remain shocked by the suggestion that Blackie was in any way augmented or enhanced by CGI and I can only hope this innuendo in no way affected the voting."
Other winners included French bulldog Brigitte, who plays Stella on US sitcom Modern Family, and Hercules of Animal Planet show Pit Boss who tied with Giggy of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for best dog in a reality television series.
The ceremony was broadcast online by the Hollywood Reporter, and Alan Siskind from DogDailyNews said he expected the ceremony to be televised next year.
Minister of State Simon Harris said funding allocated to local authorities to deal with the aftermath of the bad weather will have to be increased.
More than 260 homes have been flooded and more are at risk after heavy rain.
Irish President Michael D Higgins visited flood affected communities in Galway and Wexford on Monday.
More than 100 people had to leave their homes in Athlone, after the power supply was switched off after flooding.
The Bastion Quay apartment complex is one of the largest in the town.
RTÉ reports that the Electricity Supply Board (ESB) cut power after pillars connecting an electricity substation to the complex became submerged in flood water.
Water levels on the River Shannon are the highest on Lough Ree since records began in 1932.
The Irish Defence Forces have been operating pumps in a number of areas.
About 110 members have been deployed across the Republic to help with relief efforts, with more on standby.
Cork County Council has said it may take a number of days to clear flooding from the N25, the main Cork to Waterford road which is impassable between Killeagh and Castlemartyr in east Cork.
The road has been flooded since last Wednesday's storm and prolonged heavy rain. Flooding on the road is extensive and an industrial pump is being used take water away from the affected area.
Water is being pumped over a distance of a kilometre to try to relieve the flooding. However, about 50 acres of land on both sides of the road is also flooded, exacerbating the situation.
Mr Harris said the extent of the damage caused by the flooding is still not clear, but said the government would not be found wanting in providing extra funding.
He also said that the cabinet is due to approve the introduction of a new long-range weather forecasting system when it meets on Tuesday.
He said the system would ensure the government has the most accurate forecasts, but said it would take several months to put in place.
Mr Harris added that the government would look at the possibility of making grant aid available to individual householders to build flood protections for their homes or, in some cases, to assist them with leaving flood-prone areas altogether.
President Higgins called on people to "pull together" to help those affected by the flooding.
"While everybody was very tired and those who have had to leave their homes are anxious and distressed, there was a great sense of determination to overcome these recent events," he said.
"It is especially important that as a nation we pull together now to address the urgent challenge of managing these events and of putting in place the mechanisms needed to ensure better preparedness in the future, as the evidence points to these extreme events becoming more frequent, and accelerating, in the years to come."
Earlier, a racehorse trainer from County Westmeath described the impact the flooding has had on his business.
Thomas Cleary told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster that the flooding began on 4 December and there was now about two feet of water in his stables.
He said that even if the water was to stop rising this week, it would take at least a month before it left his yard.
He said he had moved his horses to the Curragh in County Kildare and had to travel there every morning to attend to them.
"It is 60 miles each way of a journey," he added.
"It is quite expensive because we lost all the bedding and feeds that we have at home so that all has to be got in Kildare."
Mr Cleary said that following flooding in 2009 it cost in the region of 40,000 euros (£29,500) to restore his yard.
The centre-back, 29, appeared to be in tears after turning his left ankle after half-time at White Hart Lane.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said the injury looked "very bad", after the 4-0 victory.
Vertonghen has played 20 of 21 league matches this season, forming part of a defence that has conceded just 14 goals - the best record in the league.
Costa, 28, was heavily linked with a move to the club in the January transfer window.
But Tianjin said: "We have no intention of becoming involved in any unhealthy competition and, consequently, paying a premium price."
Costa's 20 top-flight goals this season helped Chelsea win the league title.
Tianjin were promoted to the Super League last season and have Italian World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro as their manager.
The club's owner, Shu Yuhui, said in January that a bid to sign Costa had been scuppered by new rules in the Chinese Super League which mean only three foreign players can be fielded per game.

"Ivy" - not her real name - said she believed others within the West Midlands force knew of the beatings she endured at the hands of her ex-husband, but never broached the subject with her.
She chose to speak out as the force launched its campaign to highlight an annual Christmas spike in domestic abuse.
It started with a surf report. On Monday Devon-based website Magicseaweed.com began to warn of swells of up to 40ft (12m).
Dubbed "Black Wednesday", as the storm approached it was identified as a explosive cyclogenesis, known as a "weather bomb".
Throughout Tuesday, Met Office alerts were issued, with amber warnings put in place for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The swirling low pressure funnelled high winds across the North Atlantic, as wind modelling website earth.nullschool.net showed.
With the winds came gusts topping more than 80mph in some areas and huge waves crashing against the coast.
And meteorologists also recorded intense strikes of lightning across the west.
Despite ferry cancellations and a fishing boat rescue off the north coast, marinetraffic.com showed commercial traffic was still sailing.
Forecasters had plenty to keep across and warned of wintry and blustery conditions throughout "Black Wednesday" and on into Thursday.
Along with the wind and waves and rain comes the danger of flooding. So here's an interactive map of flood warnings.
Note: the Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency display their flood alert data differently. While the Environment Agency highlights individual rivers only, in Scotland the entire region is coloured to indicate the level of alert.
And back to the bigger picture, the west of Scotland remains in the wake of a "weather bomb" producing the most intense waves on the planet.

Dr Naomi Crouch, a leading adolescent gynaecologist, said she was concerned GPs were referring rising numbers of young girls who wanted an operation.
Labiaplasty, as the surgery is known, involves the lips of the vagina being shortened or reshaped.
The NHS says it should not be carried out on girls before they turn 18.
In 2015-16, more than 200 girls under 18 had labiaplasty on the NHS. More than 150 of the girls were under 15.
Some experts fear that pornography and images viewed through social media are leading young girls to have unrealistic perceptions of how their genitals should look.
Dr Crouch, who chairs the British Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology, said in her work for the NHS she was yet to see a girl who needed the operation.
"Girls will sometimes come out with comments like, 'I just hate it, I just want it removed,' and for a girl to feel that way about any part of her body - especially a part that's intimate - is very upsetting."
Anna - not her real name - considered having labiaplasty from the age of 14.
"I just picked up from somewhere that it wasn't neat enough or tidy enough and I think I wanted it to be smaller.
"People around me were watching porn and I just had this idea that it should be symmetrical and not sticking out.
"I thought that was what everyone else looked like, because I hadn't seen any normal everyday [images] before then.
"I remember thinking, 'If there's surgery for it, then clearly I'm not the only one who wants this done, and maybe it won't be that big a deal.'."
She later decided not to pursue having an operation.
"I'm totally glad I didn't get it done. I didn't need it. I look totally normal. Completely and utterly normal."
Paquita de Zulueta, a GP for more than 30 years, said it was only in the past few years that girls had started coming to her with concerns over the appearance of their labia.
"I'm seeing young girls around 11, 12, 13 thinking there's something wrong with their vulva - that they're the wrong shape, the wrong size, and really expressing almost disgust.
"Their perception is that the inner lips should be invisible, almost like a Barbie, but the reality is that there is a huge variation. It's very normal for the lips to protrude."
She blames the unrealistic images girls are being exposed to through pornography and social media.
"There isn't enough education and it should start really quite young, explaining that there is a range and that - just as we all look different in our faces - we all look different down there, and that's OK."
NHS England said it did not carry out the operation for cosmetic reasons, only for clinical conditions.
For the past few years clinical commissioning groups have been able to refer only patients who are experiencing physical pain or emotional distress.
But Dr De Zulueta says some girls know they need to overstate their physical symptoms to get the surgery.
"There is awareness that they're more likely to get the operation if they say it's interfering with sex, with sport, they feel that will tick that box."
Dr Crouch believes labiaplasty should be given only to girls who have a medical abnormality.
"I find it very hard to believe there are 150 girls with a medical abnormality which means they needed an operation on their labia," she said.
She added there were uncomfortable parallels between this surgery and female genital mutilation (FGM), which is illegal in the UK.
"The law says we shouldn't perform these operations on developing bodies for cultural reasons. Current Western culture is to have very small lips, tucked inside. I see this as the same thing".
Dr Gail Busby, lead adolescent gynaecologist at St Mary's Hospital, says it is important for girls and their parents to remember:
Body image advice
The majority of labiaplasties are done by private cosmetic surgeons on women over 18.
The industry has been criticised for normalising the procedure.
Plastic surgeon Miles Berry defended the surgery, saying it could improve women's lives.
"It can change people fundamentally, the feelings they have about themselves, their confidence and self-esteem.
"I have seen patients aged between 16 and 21 who have never had a boyfriend because they are so concerned about this."
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said the operation should not be performed until a girl had finished developing, after the age of 18.

A 14th successive Serie A win kept the champions two points behind leaders Napoli, who they play next week.
On-loan Chelsea winger Cuadrado drove home his third goal of the season after 74 minutes before top scorer Dybala secured the points in the final minute.
Dybala, who also hit a post, curled in his 16th goal of the season.
Napoli maintained their title challenge with an eighth successive league win as they secured a narrow 1-0 home victory over 10-man Carpi.
The leaders needed a 69th-minute penalty from Gonzalo Higuain to beat the relegation-threatened visitors, who had Raffaele Bianco sent off for a second booking 12 minutes into the second half.
Higuain, the leading scorer in Serie A, claimed his 26th goal of the season after Kalidou Koulibaly had been fouled by Fabio Daprela following a corner.
Elsewhere, fourth-placed Inter Milan fought back from 3-1 down but could only draw 3-3 at bottom club Verona as their stuttering run continued.
AC Milan extended their unbeaten run to eight games but were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Udinese, while Sassuolo and Palermo drew 2-2.
Chievo came from 1-0 down to win 2-1 at Torino.
The club have made one major signing this summer, buying Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach for £35m.
"We can't afford to outgun competitors that have far more money. We have to be very careful, very selective," Gazidis told the New York Times.
The 51-year-old reiterated his support for manager Arsene Wenger, denying it is based on a "sense of nostalgia".
Wenger has overseen 20 consecutive top-four finishes in the Premier League, but the last of his three league titles came in 2004. Some supporters protested at the end of last season, calling for a change in manager.
The Frenchman insisted that the club would "add what we missed" during the transfer window to close the 10-point gap to champions Leicester, but his pursuit of France forward Alexandre Lacazette so far has been frustrated with Lyon turning down a £29.3m offer.
Arsenal were the only club in Europe's top five leagues not to buy an outfield player in last season's summer transfer window. Goalkeeper Petr Cech, signed for £10m, was the only arrival, despite the club having almost £200m in cash reserves.
But Gazidis - who spoke of "an escalation in our financial firepower" in 2013 - claims that the Premier League's large and relatively evenly-shared television deal means money is less decisive than it was.
"The constraints within the Premier League are less and less about pure finances. More relatively important become things like how well you identify players, how well you develop players, what kind of sports science you have, your analytics, your psychology," he added.
"All of these support areas around what we do increasingly become bigger differentiators."
Russia said the document infringed the council rule allowing countries 24 hours to consider the final wording.
The US dismissed this as a "made-up alibi", saying Russia wanted to preserve recent military gains by Syrian government troops in Aleppo.
The army are reported to have seized more parts of rebel-held east Aleppo.
If confirmed, that would mean the government had recaptured about 70% of the rebel-controlled area in just over a week.
More than 100,000 people may be under siege in districts still under rebel control, where food supplies are exhausted and there are no functioning hospitals.
On Monday, Russia and China - both veto-wielding council members - voted against the draft submitted jointly by Egypt, New Zealand and Spain.
Venezuela also voted "No", while Angola abstained.
The other 11 UN Security Council members backed the resolution.
The document called for the ceasefire to allow the unimpeded access of aid to Aleppo.
Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said the draft had not been given the traditional 24 hours for it to be analysed.
He added that the vote should have been postponed until a meeting of Russian and US experts on Tuesday or Wednesday in Geneva.
US deputy envoy to the UN, Michele Sison, accused Russia of using a "made-up alibi".
"We will not let Russia string along the Security Council," she added.
French envoy Francois Delattre accused Moscow of having "decided to take Aleppo regardless of the human cost" of a military victory,
The UK's representative Matthew Rycroft said that in vetoing the resolution Russia and its supporters "have also held to ransom the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children currently enduring hell in Aleppo".
This is the sixth time in five years that Russia has used its veto power to block a draft resolution on Syria.
Russia, a key ally of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad, has been carrying out air strikes against rebels since September 2015.
Aleppo was once Syria's largest city and its commercial and industrial hub before the uprising against President Assad began in 2011.

Swimmers currently face permanent bans only if they fail a second test after serving a suspension for an earlier, separate, offence.
Earlier this month, The Times alleged widespread doping programmes are in operation in Russia and China.
"It should be a life ban," Peaty told BBC Sport.
"It's a message to those people out there that it [cheating] shouldn't happen at all.
"If it happens any more, then people are going to be looking at the TV and saying 'he's a cheat'.
"I'm not a cheater, but if I win Olympic gold and people are looking at me and saying I am a cheat because I've won, it's hugely disrespectful given the hard work I've put in.
"I am going to go out there [at this year's Olympics] and hopefully be racing 100% clean athletes, not 50% athletes, 50% drugs.
"Hopefully it won't affect me as I'm going out there to win, but it's for those people who come fourth and miss out on a medal because someone doped - that's bad for those who believe in the sport."

A lifetime ban from the sport is a possibility facing suspended Russian Olympic medallist Yuliya Efimova, who failed the second drug test of her career after meldonium was found in her in blood in January.
It was the latest in a series of doping cases to hit the Russian Swimming Federation, which had 27 athletes serve bans between 2010 and 2015.
The revelations saw leading British coach Jon Rudd call for an 'athletics-style' investigation into swimming programmes around the world.
Swimming's international governing body, Fina, said it would look into specific claims made against the Russian and Chinese Federations, but denied an in-depth investigation of the sport was required.
It will also review a decision by the Chinese Swimming Association to let two Chinese swimmers off with warnings for failing drug tests.
Fina recently announced that by working alongside the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada), it aimed to have all potential Rio Olympic swimming medallists tested between five and seven times before the Games.
Peaty believes Fina could have done more in the past, and states that after being tested three times in as many weeks, he would like to see other nations adopt similar strict anti-doping strategies.
"I think Wada have got it right and Fina have got it right sometimes," he said.
"Samples [of blood] are going to be kept for 10 years and those people will be caught and hopefully caught before the competition begins.
"It is bad for the young ones who look up to those [role models] in the sport, but Britain is one of the cleanest nations on the planet and hopefully we can keep it that way."

The incident happened in Boucher Crescent in south Belfast on Saturday, when a woman got out of the car and a man jumped in and drove off.
Members of the public managed to stop the car and the children were unharmed.
The man, who is 35, is expected to appear before Belfast Magistrates' Court on Monday morning.
He has also been charged with aggravated vehicle taking causing injury, common assault, and driving when unfit through drink or drugs.
The man is further accused of failing to provide a specimen of breath for preliminary test, failing to provide specimen when driving unfit and driving without a licence or insurance.
Here are five things you may have missed from Saturday's action...
At 35, one former Premier League star has been rolling back the years and showing he has most certainly still got it - and at a crucial time for his club.
Former England midfielder, and national team Player of the Year in 2011, Scott Parker helped Fulham beat Cardiff City with his first goal since 2014.
Parker's sweet left-footed strike, coupled with a dramatic, last-gasp goal for 20-year-old birthday-boy Emerson Hyndman, gave the west London club a vital third win in a row.
Fulham had won just three of their last 25 games before their recent revival, which has lifted them 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
That, together with wins for Bristol City and Rotherham, leaves the bottom three all at least nine points adrift of safety, with 23rd-placed Charlton - who lost to a 94th-minute goal at QPR, now looking doomed.
While Addicks fans will fear the worst, for some relegation is now already guaranteed.
For Bolton Wanderers and Crewe Alexandra fans, 9 April 2016 will not be a day they ever want to re-visit.
After a desperate season on and off the field, Wanderers' relegation to the third tier was assured as they lost 4-1 at Derby County.
"This has just confirmed the sort of season the club's had," Bolton Wanderers caretaker manager Jimmy Phillips said.
"The only positive thing we can say is that we still have a football club because, at one stage during the season, that was looking very doubtful."
For Crewe, a four-year stay in the third tier will end in May.
Since League One Swindon Town handed head coach Luke Williams a five-year deal on 9 March, it is fair to say it has been a month to forget for the club.
The Wiltshire outfit are yet to win in seven games since then - in stark contrast to their run of six wins from 10 while Williams was in interim charge.
After an "unacceptable" 6-0 loss to Scunthorpe, the club then had to deal with allegations that three players inhaled nitrous oxide on a live social media video.
Swindon suspended all three players - and despite apologies, the trio were not considered for selection for Saturday's 1-0 loss at Bradford City.
That defeat leaves the Robins six points above the relegation zone in 16th, with five matches remaining.
Wolves' 0-0 draw with Blackburn in the Championship was a third consecutive goalless match at Molineux - the first such barren run since 1899.
"That's frustrating. It's not what we want at home. We do want to create and we do want to go forward," Wolves boss Kenny Jackett said.

"For us that's six games unbeaten - that's an achievement and a good thing. But we do want more going forward.
"The fans want to see people going past opponents. They want to see one-on-one situations being exploited. Our biggest threat today was James Henry.
"We want to reward a very good, patient crowd with more going forward than we've served up."
You don't top any table in April by luck, and all three league leaders in the Football League showed just why they are where they are on Saturday, extending impressive unbeaten runs.
For Burnley, it is now 18 Championship games without a loss.
Northampton Town, who won promotion to League One with a 2-2 draw against Bristol Rovers, have not lost in 19 League Two matches.
And Wigan Athletic are now without defeat in 20 consecutive League One games.
Lastly, a little further down the English football pyramid, one club has endured such bad luck with injuries that it has officially run out of recognised goalkeepers.
National League North side Bradford Park Avenue had to call upon 30-year-old former Football League journeyman striker Liam Dickinson today, to start in nets, as they faced Boston United.
Seemingly, he didn't do too badly, either....
But eventually, Dickinson and co. succumbed to a 3-0 defeat.
The club explained that stoppers Jon Stewart (injured), Ryan Jones and Matty Wright were all unavailable - and an emergency loan was not possible.
Mr Davis met with First Minister Arlene Foster and Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir separately on Thursday.
"There are other places in Europe that don't have hard borders with places outside the union," he said after speaking with Mrs Foster.
However, Mr Ó Muilleoir said he was determined that Northern Ireland would remain a part of Europe.
The Sinn Féin finance minister - who was standing in for Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness who is on leave - described his meeting with Mr Davis and Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire as a "frank exchange".
"It's my resolve and conviction that we will ensure that the Irish government and the British government get together to make sure that we are not dragged out of Europe," he said.
"That we remain at the heart of Europe and it is up to him (Mr Davis) to square that particular circle.
"But, the majority of people here voted to stay and that vote to remain should be respected."
In an article in today's newspapers, David Davis says he wants to see continuity when it comes to public funding, but Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir will probably be pressing him to go further.
David Davis is also quoted as saying the government does not want a hard border and wants a practical solution that will work in everyone's interest here.
David Davis and Secretary of State James Brokenshire both emphasise there was a common travel area between the Republic Ireland and the UK before either was a member of the European Union.
Speaking after his meeting with Mrs Foster, Mr Davis underlined the importance of controlling immigration and said "we have to take control of our borders".
He identified the single energy market, export markets and the skills base as "things which are important to making Brexit a success in Northern Ireland".
Mr Brokenshire said it was "important" to move on from the EU referendum and focus on getting "the best possible deal for the UK and the best possible deal for Northern Ireland".
Both Mr Davis and Mrs Foster campaigned for a leave vote in the EU referendum and believe Brexit offers excellent potential trade opportunities.
DUP sources described their meeting in Belfast on Thursday as "useful".
Mr Davis has been attending the first session of a business group set up to advise the Northern Ireland Office on local concerns about the forthcoming Brexit negotiations.
In Northern Ireland, the majority of voters (56%) opted for the UK to stay in the EU during June's referendum.
At a special meeting of the cabinet on Wednesday, Prime Minister Theresa May said there would be no second referendum on EU membership.
She said there would also be no question of the UK trying to remain inside the EU through some kind of back door.
Mr Davis has said he wants to reach out to the parts of the UK where people did not support Brexit, as well as those where big majorities voted to leave the EU.
In an article in Thursday's Belfast Telegraph, he wrote that Northern Ireland's voice will be heard loud and clear and Brexit should not mean the introduction of a hard border.
Wales has "lost a father figure", his successor Carwyn Jones said.
Mr Morgan was elected as an MP in 1987 and became an AM when the assembly was created in 1999.
He took the helm of the assembly nine months later, replacing Alun Michael who had stood down. He is widely credited with having brought stability to the fledgling institution after a turbulent start.
Mr Morgan served as first minister for nine years, from 2000 to 2009, before Mr Jones took over as first minister and Welsh Labour leader.
The former AM for Cardiff West is survived by his wife, Julie, two daughters and a son.
Following the news, a Welsh Labour spokeswoman said the party will suspend general election campaigning on Thursday.
Mr Jones said: "Wales hasn't just lost a great politician, we've lost a real father figure."
He said Mr Morgan was "funny, clever, engaging on almost any topic".
"I owe him a great deal, just as we all do in Wales," Mr Jones said.
"He did so much to fight for, and then establish devolution in the hearts and minds of the public in our country."
Jeremy Corbyn, UK Labour leader, said: "We've lost a good friend, a great man and, above all, a giant of the Welsh labour movement."
"I saw Rhodri just last month, campaigning in Cardiff North with Carwyn Jones," he said.
"Rhodri was an incredibly effective first minister for Wales. He stood up for Wales, its people's future and its public services."
Tony Blair, who was Labour prime minister when Mr Morgan was installed, said he "was an outstanding servant of Wales, the United Kingdom and the Labour Party".
He added: "He was great company, a fund of marvellous stories and a shrewd and immensely capable politician", adding he led the assembly with "with enormous skill and dedication".
Ex-Labour Welsh Secretary Lord Hain said: "As first minister Rhodri was both the father of devolution and the father of the nation.
"He did more than anyone to bed down and ensure the new Welsh Assembly gained widespread legitimacy."
Calling him a "unique populist intellectual", Lord Hain added he was a "towering figure in every sense whom we will all miss".
Alun Michael, now Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, said he was "shocked by the sad news of Rhodri Morgan's death".
He said his commitment to Wales was "always absolute".
"He was the most popular politician of his generation and the absolute master of the one-liner," he added.
"While we had our disagreements, for instance over the Cardiff Bay Barrage, Rhodri was always a vigorous and colourful debater, but not personal."
Rhodri Morgan's time as first minister included two coalitions. In the first, with the Liberal Democrats between 2000 and 2003, Mike German served as deputy first minister.
Lord German called the former Welsh Labour leader a "strong opponent but a great friend".
"Wales has lost a great politician and stalwart tonight," he said.
Plaid Cymru's Ieuan Wyn Jones, who was deputy first minister to Mr Morgan under the One Wales coalition, said: "He was very easy to work with, and he was very likeable, extremely loyal and highly knowledgeable.
"It wasn't easy for him to deliver the coalition in sections of his party, but Rhodri stood firm and we agreed a very progressive programme of government."
Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns, himself a former AM who sparred with Mr Morgan in the Senedd chamber, said he was "a significant politician" and "great servant to Wales".
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said the former first minister "was much respected across the political spectrum and led Wales with distinction during a crucial period in Welsh history".
Expressing her deepest sympathy on behalf of the members of the assembly and its staff, the institution's presiding officer Elin Jones said: "As First Minister of Wales, Rhodri's contribution in helping build our nation and its young democracy was immeasurable.
"Rhodri's ability to communicate with, and to understand, the diverse communities of Wales ultimately won hearts and minds, and was critical in giving the people of Wales the confidence to strengthen and develop the National Assembly."
'He spoke like no other politician'
By Tomos Livingstone, BBC Wales political correspondent
Rhodri Morgan stabilised Welsh devolution after its rocky first year, and spent nine years as first minister in his own idiosyncratic style.
At a time when sound bites were the norm, he spoke like no other politician - his response to being asked whether he wanted to lead the yet-to-be-created assembly was "do one-legged ducks swim in a circle?"
In office he pursued a strategy of differentiating his administration from Tony Blair's New Labour government, using the new devolved powers to opt-out from Blairite reforms to health and education.

Cancer Research UK is sharing the funds across 13 locations with the the biggest grants of about £40m going to Manchester and Cambridge.
The charity aims to draw together cutting-edge research and medical expertise - resulting in more timely, life-saving treatments for patients.
It will provide "vital infrastructure", Dr Iain Foulkes, executive director of strategy and research funding said.
He said it would also boost research to develop smarter, kinder treatments for children and be particularly important for hard to treat cancers like pancreatic, oesophageal, lung and brain tumours.
Departments of health in the UK and the charity are also investing £36m over five years into experimental medicine centres for adult patients and a network of centres for children.
The centres are partnerships between Cancer Research UK, universities, hospital trusts and other organisations, which collaborate to improve cancer research and clinical practice.
Five of the 13 locations chosen to receive grants are in London - at the Institute for Cancer Research (ICR), Kings Health Partners, the Barts Centre, University College London, and Imperial College London.
Two are in Scotland - the Edinburgh and Glasgow centres.
The others are in Birmingham, Newcastle, Oxford, Southampton, Cambridge and Manchester.
About a third would take a pay cut to achieve a better work-life balance, the charity Working Families said.
Employers are not doing enough to help dads take a more active role in childcare, it added.
MPs are due to open an inquiry into whether fathers are losing out in the workplace.
Of the 2,750 parents surveyed, a third of fathers said they regularly felt burnt out, and one in five were working extra hours, according to the Modern Families Index report.

Six ways to tackle the gender pay gap
"For many fathers the workplace is unsupportive of their aspirations for a better work-life fit," said the charity.
It runs the risk of creating a "fatherhood penalty", where fathers are willing to follow a career that is below their skill set and reduce their earnings, it added.
It would be similar to the "motherhood penalty", which gender equality charity, the Fawcett Society, identified as being one of the core causes of the disparity in pay between men and women.
"To prevent a 'fatherhood penalty' emerging in the UK - and to help tackle the motherhood penalty - employers need to ensure that work is designed in a way that helps women and men find a good work-life fit," said Sarah Jackson, chief executive of Working Families.
Employers' organisation, the Institute of Directors (IoD), agreed with the charity, saying bosses should design jobs that let both men and women work flexibly.
Seamus Nevin, head of employment and skills policy at the IoD, said government should also reform shared parental leave, which is "far from perfect and offers fathers no individual personal entitlement to time off with their baby".
"The benefits, to individual families as well as companies and the overall economy, of sharing parental responsibilities equally between mothers and fathers are clear," Mr Nevin said.
"The number of stay-at-home fathers has almost doubled since the mid-1990s. However, it's still the case that women are far more likely to take the lion's share of parental responsibilities.
"The willingness of more men to take an active role in parenting is very positive, but unfortunately government legislation and employment practices have not always kept up with evolving trends and needs," Mr Nevin added.
Adrienne Burgess, chief executive of the Fatherhood Institute, told the BBC there were a lot of problems with the current parental leave system.
"The new system was bigged up as a shared parental leave and it's nothing of the sort."
She explained that, in reality, it is transferable maternal leave, which fathers have no automatic right to, and few met the conditions.
"Only a minority of couples have this available - well under 50% qualify. The mothers often have their pay topped up by their employer but if this is transferred to the father their employer is much less likely to top it up. Everything works against it."
On Monday, MPs on the Women and Equalities Committee are launching a new inquiry into fathers in the workplace.
Committee chair Maria Miller said that investing in policies to let men and women share childcare "will reap financial benefits as well as reducing the gender pay gap".
"Many fathers want to take a more active role in caring for their children," she added.
"Clearly more needs to be done. We are keen to hear views from individuals as well as organisations about the changes which they would like to see."

Seven books were chosen from 210 nominations including writing from the journalist who died in Syria last year.
The prize is awarded annually to the book that comes closest to George Orwell's ambition "to make political writing into an art".
Prize director Jean Seaton said they were looking for "writing that was measured and calm not simply angry".
Colvin's book, On the Front Line, was published in April last year, two months after she died in the besieged Syrian city of Homs.
Originally from New York, Colvin was a distinguished foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times and had been based in London for many years.
Palestinian lawyer and writer Raja Shehadeh, won The Orwell Prize for Books in 2008 with Palestinian Walks, was also shortlisted.
Other authors that made the list include former Bishop of Edinburgh, Richard Holloway, for his memoir, Leaving Alexandria, Indian novelist Pankaj Mishra's From the Ruins of the Empire and British lawyer Clive Stafford Smith's Injustice.
The panel included Baroness Joan Bakewell, author Nikita Lalwani and the assistant books editor of The Independent, Arifa Akbar.
"This year's judges started from Orwell's injunction, 'My starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice'," said Seaton.
Six journalists were also shortlisted for for the Orwell Journalism Prize including two writers from The Independent, Christina Patterson and Kim Sengupta.
Both categories attract a £3,000 prize, which will be handed out at an awards ceremony in London on 15 May.
In only seven days, he has seen corruption charges plague his organisation, has won an election and has stepped down from his role.
It is a scenario that few would have predicted a week ago. So how did events unfold over the last seven days?
A 47-count indictment against nine Fifa officials and five corporate executives is unsealed before a court in Brooklyn.
The US justice department says the men were under investigation worldwide for allegedly accepting bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m (£97m) over a 24-year period.
A series of arrests are carried out at the luxury Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich, where Fifa officials are staying. Mr Blatter is not one of those detained. More arrests are expected, the journalist who broke the story tells the BBC.
The office of Switzerland's Attorney General confirms it has opened an investigation into suspected "criminal mismanagement and of money laundering in connection with the allocation of the 2018 and 2022 Football World Cups" in Russia and Qatar.
It says documents and electronic data have been seized from Fifa's headquarters in Zurich.
Fifa spokesman Walter De Gregorio says the election of Fifa's president will still take place two days later. "The stress factor is a bit higher today," he adds.
At a press conference, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch details the extent of alleged corruption by Fifa officials. She says: "They did this over and over, year after year, tournament after tournament."
When asked whether Mr Blatter was to be questioned, she says only that the investigation is ongoing. Mr Blatter faces growing calls to resign from leading sporting figures.
The Fifa president releases a statement saying he welcomes the investigations, that would "help to reinforce measures that Fifa has already taken to root out any wrongdoing in football".
Michel Platini, the head of the European football body Uefa, calls on Mr Blatter to resign - but he refuses.
Ignoring calls by the British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Hollande to delay the next day's election, Mr Blatter says: "It must fall to me to uphold responsibility for the wellbeing of the organisation."
He condemns the "action of individuals" for bringing "shame and humiliation" on football. But, he says, he is not able to "monitor everyone all of the time".
Football sponsors start to express their concerns about the scandals surrounding Fifa.
Despite mounting pressure, Fifa's presidential election goes ahead.
Mr Blatter's only rival, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, withdraws from the race after winning 73 votes to Mr Blatter's 133 in the election's first round. The 79-year-old is re-elected.
Mr Blatter - who has vowed to make this the last of his five terms - says: "I am the president now, the president of everybody."
English Football Association chairman Greg Dyke again demands Mr Blatter stand down, and warns that the events of the last week "are not all over".
Football sponsors, including Coca-Cola, Adidas and McDonald's, all call for reform within Fifa.
Mr Blatter tells Swiss television: "Why would I step down? That would mean I recognise that I did wrong."
A day after his re-election, Mr Blatter downplays the US indictments, saying in an interview with the Swiss public broadcaster that there was a "hate campaign" against Fifa by European football nations.
Mr Blatter is also asked about another allegation made in the indictment. It states that a senior Fifa official authorised an alleged $10m (£6.5m) payment in exchange for votes in favour of South Africa hosting the 2010 World Cup.
"Definitely, that's not me," he says.
South Africa denies the payment it made was a bribe, insisting it went to pay for football development for the African diaspora in the Caribbean.
In a BBC interview, Mr Blatter's daughter says her father is the victim of a conspiracy "behind the scenes" of world football.
The New York Times alleges that Mr Blatter's most senior aide at Fifa, Jerome Valcke, was the man who authorised the $10m payment. Fifa and Mr Valcke deny it was a bribe.
Fifa again insists the $10m payment was legitimate.
By mid-afternoon, news emerges of a previously unscheduled Fifa press conference in Zurich.
Shortly before 19:00 Swiss time (17:00 GMT), Mr Blatter announces he is to stand down.
He does not address the corruption allegations directly, but calls for "deep-rooted structural change" within Fifa and admits: "I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football."
Sponsors, including Visa, Budweiser and Coca-Cola, welcome the news and call for swift reform and greater transparency from Fifa.
The Rhondda Tunnel Society was given the cash to carry out an initial "tapping survey" on the 3km (1.8 miles) tunnel.
Experts will tap the inside of the tunnel, which runs from Blaencwm to Blaengwynfi in Neath Port Talbot, with long poles to determine its condition.
The society has welcomed the grant.
The tunnel was closed during cutbacks of the UK railway network in the 1960s.
There are calls for the Welsh Government to take it over to move the project forward.
But a feasibility and structural survey needs to take place first, which could cost up to £140,000.
Campaigners and MEP Jill Evans will travel to Brussels in a few weeks to try to secure European funding, and the society will meet with the Heritage Lottery Fund on 19 January.
Chairman Steve Mackey said: "We are very grateful for the grant. We feel things are moving forward particularly with regard to the ownership issue of the tunnel.
"The Welsh Government are starting to show interest and seem supportive. We are very pleased."
Lib Dem Lynne Featherstone told the Guardian she had "no doubt" allowing Julien Blanc to perform in the UK would lead to a rise in sexual harassment.
The self-styled "dating guru" holds seminars claiming to teach men how to attract women but his methods have been widely criticised as sexually abusive.
A Change.org petition seeking to deny him a visa has over 120,000 signatures.
Ms Featherstone, who recently became crime prevention minister, took the unusual step of announcing she was lobbying the home secretary to examine grounds for refusing Mr Blanc entry.
She said: "As the Home Office minister with responsibility for tackling violence against women and girls, I am extremely concerned by the sexist and utterly abhorrent statements Julien Blanc has made about women.
"If he was allowed to perform in the UK I have no doubt that cases of sexual harassment and intimidation would increase."
She added that although free speech is "hugely important", it is "not appropriate to talk about choking girls under any circumstances".
Twitter users have been using the hashtag #ChokingGirlsAroundTheWorld to share pictures apparently showing Mr Blanc with his hand around the throats of women that he has himself shared.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper has also publicly condemned Mr Blanc.
In a letter to the home secretary, Ms Cooper wrote: "Why should we let someone into this country to incite sexual assaults or violence against women?
"There is plenty of evidence of Mr Blanc's vile views and misogynist business, and no interest for Britain in him being able to promote them here in our communities," she continued.
A Home Office spokesman said the department would not comment on individual cases of exclusion.
The spokesman observed: "This home secretary has excluded more foreign nationals on the grounds of unacceptable behaviour than any before her."
Mr Blanc had to cut his Australian tour short last week because his visa was cancelled following protests there.
His UK tour is due to start in London in February 2015.
On its website, Mr Blanc's company Real Social Dynamics calls itself "the world's largest dating coaching company" and promises customers the chance to "witness dating coaches attract beautiful women in live demonstrations".
The petition to bar him from the UK was started by a woman - using the pseudonym Caroline Charles - who was angry at the material being taught at his seminars.
BBC Newsbeat has tried to contact Real Social Dynamics but is yet to receive a reply.
The home secretary has the power to block a visa application by a foreign national if it is thought their presence in the UK would not be "conducive to the public good".
Last year, Theresa May banned anti-Islamic activists Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer from coming to the UK to join an English Defence League demonstration.
In 2009, then home secretary Jacqui Smith refused to admit Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders.

The county's police force said feedback from both farmers and those caught hare coursing said it was the greatest deterrent.
Traditionally offences start to rise in the autumn after crops have been harvested and continue until spring.
Last season, 176 men were arrested or reported for summons.
During the busiest months of November and December an average of 15 calls a day were received with the South Holland area the hardest hit, the force said.
Lincolnshire Police said it would also focus on working with neighbouring forces as part of its clampdown.
The National Farmer's Union's Lincolnshire advisor for the Holland region, Gordon Corner, welcomed the move.
He said many farmers had been threatened with violence and threats when facing gangs of hare coursers.

The Fresher's Don't was published in 1893 for Cambridge University students.
It is on display at an exhibition at St John's College, which was then an all-male establishment.
The guide includes advice on the opposite sex, including "not to get too familiar" with the landlady's daughter - and a reminder not to "speak to girls without introduction".
To mark the occasion, a new story is being released, called 'Winnie-the-Pooh and the Royal Birthday'.
In the story Piglet, Pooh, Christopher Robin, and Eeyore all decide to go on an adventure to Buckingham Palace.
Along the way they meet Prince George, and Pooh even manages to bump into the Queen, and hums her a special birthday tune.
Winnie-the-Pooh was first published in 1926, and apparently the Queen was a big fan when she was a child.
Brian Croxton, 77, died in hospital after the incident outside the Brass Band Club in Royton, Oldham, on the night of 8 December.

Paying tribute to Mr Croxton, his family said he was president of the club for more than 10 years and "his life revolved" around it.
Sgt Lee Westhead, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "We made an arrest yesterday in the Royton area and have also seized a car for forensic examination.

The Department for Education (DfE) said specialist staff were vital to ensure children developed "a sporting habit for life".
Funding worth £360,000 would be put towards training primary teachers with a specialism in PE, the DfE said.
It is hoped 240 primary PE specialists will take up posts by September 2015.
A pilot training programme was launched last year, with the first cohort of 120 PE specialists due to be working in primary schools from this autumn.
Children's minister Edward Timpson said: "PE teaching is a specialist role and deserves bespoke support. PE specialists are vital to really embedding sporting expertise in schools, as well as giving children every chance of developing a sporting habit for life.
"That's why we've announced extra funding to create a second intake of specialist primary PE teachers to support other teachers in developing their skills and improve quality of PE teaching.
"The pilot has already attracted high-calibre graduates who want to share their love of sport. We must harness this and ensure more schools across the country can benefit from their expertise."
Trainee teachers on the programme study PE and sport for 50% of their overall course, as well as training in the other core subjects.
About three-quarters of the trainees currently taking part in the pilot scheme had a sports-related degree, the DfE said, and many graduated with a 2:1 or higher.
The vast majority of the trainees had already accepted job offers for this autumn, the department added.
Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers said: "We welcome this new funding for primary sports specialists.
"Properly deployed they can raise the skill and confidence of all staff in teaching PE. They can broaden the range of sport and exercise on offer and help nurture a new generation of athletes.
"It is vital that we maintain a broad and balanced curriculum as start children on healthy habits early. Teachers in primary schools have to be 'masters of all trades' but specialist support can back them up."
The DfE announcement follows a warning from the schools watchdog, Ofsted, that too many pupils are being denied the chance to take part in competitive sport in state schools, where it can be treated as an "optional extra".
In a report, Ofsted said children's education was poorer if they were deprived of the chance to compete.
The report also highlighted concerns that top athletes in some sports were still more likely to come from fee-paying schools rather than the state sector.
The report - Going the extra mile: Excellence in competitive school sport - was commissioned after the 2012 Olympic games in London to explore why so many Team GB athletes had been educated in private rather than state schools. | Extra funding is to be made available to double the number of physical education (PE) specialists working in primary schools in England. | 28,114,181 | 580 | 26 | false |
Police said they were assisted in the house search by "specialist resources" following reports of a firearm in the Grangepans property.
Officers said 14 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £3,000 were recovered.
The man was arrested for drug offences and a breach of the peace and will appear in court at a later date.
Officers attended the address on 3 March as part of Operation Core, which targets drug-related activity.
Despite initial reports of a firearm, Police Scotland said "there was found to be no risk to the public."
Sgt Craig Heron said: "Thanks to vital information passed to us by the community, we are confident that this recovery has disrupted the chain of supply in the local area.
"This was a highly successful operation that involved a number of officers and I thank local residents for their patience and cooperation.
"Drugs continue to blight our communities and pursuing those who are involved in this harmful trade remains one of our top priorities."
The law has created a national outcry, with critics saying it could be used to discriminate against gays and lesbians.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) protects businesses from state laws that "substantially burden" their religious beliefs.
There have been calls to boycott the state, in response.
Connecticut has banned state-funded travel to Indiana, and Apple CEO Tim Cook has condemned the measure.
Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed the legislation into law last week, but some of his fellow Republicans are already seeking to make amendments.
Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma and Senate President Pro Tem David Long said that they will add additional language to the law to make it clear that it doesn't allow for discrimination against gays and lesbians.
"What we had hoped for with the bill was a message of inclusion, inclusion of all religious beliefs," Mr Bosma said.
"What instead has come out as a message of exclusion, and that was not the intent."
Mr Long stressed that Indiana's law is based on the federal government's Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, which has survived court challenges.
Mr Pence defended the law on television on Sunday but refused at least five times to say if it allows businesses to deny services to gays and lesbians.
"This is not about discrimination, this is about empowering people to confront government overreach," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
A chorus of criticism is growing, with the White House and companies such as Wal-Mart and Angie's List denouncing the law.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, who is openly gay, said his company was "deeply disappointed in Indiana's new law". Some companies have said that they are halting any expansion plans in the state.
In a move directed at the Indiana law, Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy signed an executive order on Monday that bans state-funded travel to states that have laws similar to Indiana's controversial law, but that do not protect gays and lesbians from discrimination.
"When new laws turn back the clock on progress, we can't sit idly by. We are sending a message that discrimination won't be tolerated," Mr Malloy said on Twitter.
The mayor of Indianapolis, which is about to host the final rounds of the nation's largest collegiate basketball tournament, has reaffirmed the city's protection of gays and lesbians.
Mayor Greg Ballard, a Republican, issued an executive order affirming that any person or institution receiving public funds would have to abide by the city's human rights ordinance, which protects minority groups.
While many states have passed legislation similar to Indiana's, critics say it goes further because it empowers corporations to discriminate, with no state protection for gays and lesbians.
When asked whether he would consider extending civil rights protections to gays and lesbians in Indiana, Mr Pence said: "I will not push for that."
A B-25 bomber, a P-51 Mustang fighter and The Blades aerobatic team were among the first displays to take place near Low Green in Ayr on Friday.
The Saturday programme includes displays from The Red Arrows and RAF Falcons Parachute Team.
An estimated crowd of 120,000 attended the main Saturday event in 2015, with similar numbers expected this year.
Event manager Doug Maclean said: "We're very enthusiastic about what we've planned for 2016 knowing we will continue to excite and wow the crowds with some of the most amazing aircraft, pilots and displays they will ever see.
"The acts we have coming along are truly world-class and the fact they all want to come and take part in our event shows that the airshow has continued to grow from strength-to-strength."
South Ayrshire Council is the main sponsor of the airshow, which returned in 2014 after an absence of 22 years.
The council's chief executive, Eileen Howat, said: "The Scottish International Airshow has grown in magnitude and 2016's line-up is undoubtedly set to be the best yet.
"Last year around 120,000 people enjoyed the air display and demand has led to the addition of another day of flying and entertainment on the Friday.
"Not only is this a great family event, but it gives the local economy a real boost, generating over £5m last year, which is something we all benefit from."
Although anyone can watch the displays for free, ticket packages can be purchased for access to the entertainment area at Low Green.
One of the packages offers limited access to Prestwick Airport for a chance to see the aircraft up close.
Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Intel's chief executive Brian Krzanich urged the "entire industry" to follow suit.
Gold, tungsten and other minerals used in electronics manufacturing are mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries.
Production and trade of the materials are often controlled by armed groups.
Intel's policy comes after increased international pressure for technology firms to investigate the sources of their raw minerals.
The company, which is the world's largest chipmaker and has factories around the world, says all the microprocessors it ships in 2014 will be "conflict free".
Most electronic devices contain either gold, tantalum, tin, or tungsten, much of which originates from sub-Saharan Africa and is mined in conditions of armed conflict and human rights abuses.
In 2010, US President Barack Obama introduced a law requiring public companies to report whether their products contained minerals from these areas.
Mr Krzanich, who took over as the head of Intel last year, told the audience at CES that the company had been trying to determine the sources of the metals used in its chips for some years.
"We felt an obligation to implement changes in our supply chain to ensure that our business and our products were not inadvertently funding human atrocities," he said.
The company is already a member of the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative run by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition, which encourages environmental and ethical responsibility.
"This is not an issue we would normally be talking about at CES. But it's an issue that is important to me," Mr Krzanich said.
"You begin to think about the impact of the supply chain and the potential issues you can be causing."
At the same keynote session, Intel also announced it would be scrapping the McAfee anti-virus brand name and replacing it with Intel Security.
The move is intended to sever the connection to the software's eponymous founder, John McAfee, who has been mired in legal troubles, and has confessed to extensive drug use.
But Mr McAfee told the BBC he was was elated by Intel's decision.

Lincoln, 88 places below their Premier League opponents, held their own for much of the first half and even went close to scoring when Petr Cech saved Nathan Arnold's curled effort.
However, Theo Walcott's deflected strike gave the Gunners the lead on the stroke of half-time and Olivier Giroud put the hosts in control with a clinical strike just after the break.
Lincoln's dreams of a fight back were dashed when Luke Waterfall scored an own goal, turning in Kieran Gibbs' cross.
Alexis Sanchez added a brilliant fourth, expertly placing the ball beyond Lincoln goalkeeper Paul Farman's reach, before Aaron Ramsey completed the win when he tapped in from Sanchez's cross.

It was ultimately a routine victory for Arsenal and perhaps eased some of the pressure on Arsene Wenger, who is bidding for his seventh FA Cup triumph as Gunners boss.
A protest was held before the game by around 200 fans urging the club to not give the 67-year-old a new contract when his current deal expires this summer.
Relive Arsenal's emphatic win against Lincoln City
Lincoln have undoubtedly been the story of this season's FA Cup. They came through eight games, beating Premier League Burnley and Championship high fliers Brighton along the way to become the first non-league side to reach the quarter-finals of the competition in 103 years.
Against an Arsenal side that had reached the semi-finals 28 times previous, few would normally have given Lincoln a chance.
But a run of just two wins in their last seven games, coupled with the discontent felt by some Arsenal fans towards Arsene Wenger, gave the minnows reason to believe an upset could be achievable.
The club's fans clearly felt that to be the case as they travelled in huge numbers to the Emirates, and for large periods of the first half their voices were the only ones that could be heard.
On the pitch, Lincoln were impressive, sticking to a game plan that limited Arsenal to only one real chance in the first half half hour, when Walcott hit the post.
There was a momentary silence around the ground when Lincoln threatened to snatch the unlikeliest of leads as Arnold's smart footwork left Laurent Koscielny on the floor, and he took aim at the far corner - but Cech managed to stretch across to make the save.
A goalless draw at half-time would have been a deserved reward for their performance, but Walcott's strike appeared to knock their confidence and in the second half it looked every bit the tie involving a Premier League side and a team four divisions below them.
The FA Cup dream may be over for Lincoln but they could yet walk out at Wembley this season. They are in the semi-finals of the FA Trophy and now switch attention to their first-leg tie at York on Tuesday.
Arsenal could still finish the season with silverware, but success in the FA Cup is no longer enough for a sizeable number of Gunners fans.
They are out of the Champions League and a top-four finish is far from guaranteed as they currently sit fifth, two points behind Liverpool.
Those fans who feel Wenger has taken the side as far as they can go made their feelings known before the game with a protest - their second in a week after around 200 supporters expressed their frustration before the Champions League last-16 second leg tie with Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
But there was support for Wenger inside the ground as some fans held 'In Wenger we trust' banners, while on the pitch his players stepped up after a slow start.
Mesut Ozil was particularly influential after his 27th minute introduction and Sanchez, whose long-term future at the Emirates is reportedly in doubt, impressed with a fine goal and an assist.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "There was always a level of anxiety because these boys are unpredictable. They knocked out Burnley, Ipswich and Brighton, so we have to respect them.
"It was all us in the second half but you have to congratulate Lincoln for what they have achieved in the FA Cup.
"We have been short of confidence after some disappointing results recently. When the confidence was there in the second half the quality came back."
Lincoln manager Danny Cowley: "I thought we did really well for the first 45 minutes. It is very hard to get negative against them because they have such world-class players. At 45 minutes I thought we had limited them in chances and we were hoping to get in 0-0 but they got the goal.
"Arsenal were frightening in the second half and for us it was a pleasure to see world-class players first hand. It felt like Arsene Wenger had brought 15 players on. If we can learn from this experience today and throughout this FA Cup journey we will be better players and better people.
"The best [in this run] was at the end, sharing a moment with our supporters. Our supporters were world class. They were brilliant. We are winners and don't like losing but when we can draw breath we will be proud."
Former Arsenal and England defender Martin Keown on Match of the Day
Lincoln revitalised the FA Cup, their run was magical. Arsenal came in wounded, there was a lack of confidence early on, but the goal just before half-time was perfect and settled them down. Them needing that goal to settle them down was some compliment to Lincoln, but the Gunners played with a swagger in the second half. Still, Lincoln can hold their heads very high.

A National League team getting to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup? It is a fantastic achievement. I am sure everyone at the club will be so proud, and it doesn't happen by accident. They kept Arsenal at bay for 45 minutes.
The players and fans will remember it for the rest of their lives.
What next?
Arsenal are back in Premier League action as they travel to West Brom on Saturday, 18 March (12:30 GMT) looking for their first league win since 11 February. Lincoln, meanwhile, face York in the FA Trophy on Tuesday.

Viewers will see 12 amateur bakers trying to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood when the new series begins on BBC One on 24 August.
Last year's winner Nadiya Hussain was a big success and Hollywood said this year's crop had felt the pressure.
"Nadiya went to a whole new level... it put pressure on them more," he said.
"I think we felt it in the tents as well. They started quite nervously, but once they settled down they got into it."
Berry concurred, saying: "They know the standard that it is, which is now pretty high. And I think they were slower to bond this year than they were in the past."
A teacher, a student and a garden designer are also among the hopefuls. Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins will return to host the show.

A company in Oxfordshire have started selling special hi-vis jackets for chickens.
They claim they keep them warm and dry and make it easier for owners to see where they are during the dark winter nights.
The coats even come in two colours - pink and yellow. No yolk!
It beat the debut episode of five-part BBC One army drama Our Girl, which attracted an average audience of 3.9m.
An extra 300,000 watched Downton on ITV's +1 channel. But it was just over a million less than the 9.2m who saw the first episode of series four.
The latest instalment of Julian Fellowes's period drama attracted a mixture of reviews.
Andrew Billen, writing in The Times, gave Sunday's episode four stars in his review.
"Lord Fellowes, who may yet get through a series without resorting to murder, rape or sudden death, is filling his plots very enjoyably with sex instead," he said.
The Telegraph's Ben Lawrence concluded "there are still faults with Downton Abbey".
"Some of the dialogue should really have been left on the cutting room floor - 'Tom, come with me. You know where the sandbags are kept!' Also, the large ensemble is beginning to feel unwieldy.
"But it is such an enjoyable confection that these criticisms feel niggardly."
The Independent's Ellen E Jones described the episode as "slow-moving", but said that Dame Maggie Smith's portrayal of the Dowager Countess was worth seeing on its own.
"If this slow-moving series eventually unravels (as I think it must) into only the Dowager's decrepit form, alone at Dower House, whispering cutting asides into the fire, we will be none the worse off for it," she wrote.
The new season of Downton is set in 1924, as Britain's first Labour government comes to power.
New actors to join the series include Richard E Grant, who joins the cast as Simon Bricker, one of the guests of the Grantham family.
Anna Chancellor also joins in a guest role, playing Lady Anstruther, while 24 actor Rade Sherbedgia plays a Russian refugee.
Downton Abbey has also become a cult hit in the US, and more than 100 countries have broadcast rights.
Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth said AMs are not being given the opportunity "to get under the skin" of government business.
The government said it was the quality, not format, of scrutiny that mattered.
AMs discuss issues in the Senedd chamber in sessions known as plenary held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Government business dominates Tuesday plenary sessions, while debates held by the opposition take place on Wednesday.
Ministers can use their Tuesday time to make announcements - known as statements - which AMs can ask questions about but cannot vote on what is discussed. In debates, they can.
Mr ap Iorwerth, Plaid AM for Ynys Mon, said: "We've seen a pattern in this term of government reading out statement after statement, some of them very important, but some of them rather spurious.
"What that means is there is very little opportunity to debate issues."
He suggested that announcements tabled on the Welsh Government's tourism initiative, the 2017 Year of Legends, and exotic animal disease could have been dealt with without a statement being read out.
Meanwhile, proposals for the merger of the commercial functions of Cadw and National Museums Wales were dealt with in a statement, despite Plaid calls for a debate.
Mr ap Iorwerth said the landlord registration scheme, Rent Smart Wales, should have also been dealt with through a debate.
He suggested that without debates - where a vote is held and AMs can intervene - the "government is able to duck some tricky issues".
Mr ap Iorwerth said the matter had been raised in the Labour/Plaid liaison committees, set up earlier this year as part of the deal between the parties to return Carwyn Jones to the position of first minister.
He was confident that the Labour leader of the house, Jane Hutt, had taken his concerns on board.
"I've got no problem with late finishing, that's fine," added Mr ap Iorwerth.
"But to have late finishes because we have seven statements, one after another, that's not good use of assembly time.
"It doesn't give assembly members the opportunity to really get under the skin of some government business in the way that we could and hopefully we will now."
Figures shown to the BBC by a source suggest a majority of four recent plenary days of government time was taken up by ministers' statements.
At four recent Tuesday sessions - 11 and 18 October, and 1 and 8 November - 64.9% of government time was spent on statements, amounting to 837 minutes.
In comparison, on 14 and 21 October in 2014, and 4 and 11 November 2014, 41.8% of government time was spent on statements, a total of 422 minutes.
Valerie Livingston, director of Newsdirect Wales which monitors the Senedd, said: "Certainly there do seem to be more Welsh Government statements now."
She said some could be dealt with in written form rather than in the chamber, and she said there had been examples of the Welsh Government announcing things to the media "that probably should have been announced to AMs first".
But Ms Livingston said the opposition's time is "not always used very effectively".
She suggested the opposition "need to be more focused on what they are tabling debates on" instead of tabling "quite general motions on business or health care, or the environment".
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "In an oral statement, a minister answers each point raised by individual AMs as they arise, rather than responding in general terms to points raised during a debate.
"Therefore, a statement allows for more engagement and challenge between AMs and ministers than would be the case during a debate.
"During the last two business questions to the Leader of the House, AMs have asked the Welsh Government to bring forward 23 statements, but only one debate."
Research by London Assembly member Tom Copley says 52,000 homes - 36% of those sold - were being let out by councils.
The homes are being rented at higher market rates, the report says.
The Labour politician said the system needed to be reformed but the government said the scheme helped to create more affordable homes.
Of the homes that are being let, a "substantial" number are being let to tenants who are now supported by housing benefit, according to the study.
Mr Copley has recommended that there should be mandatory covenants on all Right to Buy properties so they cannot be let through the private rented sector and that local authorities should retain an equity stake in any property sold.
He said the practice had "helped to fuel the increase in the housing benefit bill, heaped more pressure on local authority waiting lists and led to more Londoners being forced into the under-regulated private rented sector".
"This shows that Right to Buy currently represents incredibly poor value for money to taxpayers," Mr Copley said.
"Not only did they pay to build the home in the first place, they then subsidised the considerable discounts offered to tenants and then missed out on the rental income that would have covered the build costs.
"Now, we have the indignity of London boroughs renting back their former council homes at higher market rent levels, once again costing taxpayers through the nose."
According to the report, 36% of about 145,500 properties in London where the council still holds the freehold are to be put on the rental market.
Tower Hamlets has the highest proportion of such properties up for renting - 50.5%, Enfield comes second with 49.8%, followed by Kingston with 45.6%.
A statement from the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "Under our reinvigorated Right to Buy scheme, every additional home sold will be replaced by a new affordable home to rent.
"Of course, the original home may be sold on or rented out down the line, yet there is clear benefit as our scheme helps reduce social waiting lists and increases the overall housing stock both across London and across the country."
Under current rules, council tenants and housing association tenants who were in their home when it was transferred from council landlords have the right to buy their properties at a discount, after five years as a tenant.
The current maximum it can be reduced by is £100,000 in London.
The scheme was originally introduced in the 1980s, however, the government brought it back in 2012.‬
Nowell, 23, tore a quad muscle at the England camp in Brighton, while Williams suffered nerve damage in his arm warming up for Tigers on Saturday.
England also saw flanker Sam Jones break his leg and winger Anthony Watson break his jaw at the training cap.
Premiership Rugby criticised the timing and intensity of England's sessions.
Nowell - capped 18 times by England - was absent from Exeter's 27-27 draw against Gloucester. and is expected to be "out for weeks" according to Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter.
Chiefs boss Baxter revealed he has "significant quad tear" which makes him a doubt for the start of the autumn internationals next month.
Nowell, who featured in all three of England's wins over Australia in June, has already endured an injury-hit season, having only recently returned from a spell on the sidelines with a thumb injury.
Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said he was unsure whether Williams' injury would keep him out of his club's European Champions Cup meeting with Glasgow Warriors next weekend.
"We will have it scanned and see where he's at. Hopefully it's just a bit of nerve irritation," he said.
Williams' injury scare, combined with Jones' absence, potentially leaves England short of open-side flanker options with James Haskell out until early 2017 with a toe injury and Harlequins' Jack Clifford already ruled out of the autumn internationals as he has had ankle surgery.

Prof David Reynolds warned ministers would miss their targets for the Pisa tests unless teacher training improved.
Industrialists made investment decisions based on this "most important test", he told BBC Wales.
The Welsh Government said initiatives to raise standards should result in an improvement at the next tests in 2018.
The Pisa tests - a major study of educational performance - are taken by 15-year-olds in 72 countries every three years.
Students in Wales were the lowest of the UK nations in science, reading and maths in the 2015 tests, scoring 478 in maths, 477 in reading and 485 in science.
Speaking to Sunday Politics Wales, the Swansea University head of education said: "In a globalised world Pisa is the most important test that there is.
"If you look back at 2010 when Shanghai, China, suddenly came from nowhere to be top, foreign investment in China went up.
"If industrialists are looking at Pisa - and they are - the answer is to get those scores up to get industry in or we risk becoming just a kind of theme park with no industry."
In 2014 the Welsh Government set itself a target of reaching a score of 500 in the three subjects by 2021.
After Education Secretary Kirsty Williams recently distanced herself from that goal, First Minister Carwyn Jones reiterated his government's commitment to it.
Asked if the goal could be reached, Prof Reynolds said: "If teacher training improves, if we get the knowledge base out there and if we make our teachers master craftsmen and women of teaching which many countries have done, then we could be very, very close to those targets.
"But I fear at the moment we're not doing it so it ain't gonna happen."
Owen Hathway, Wales policy officer for the National Union of Teachers, said confusion over the government's policy left the profession asking "whose target are we aiming for?"
"Should we be aiming for targets at all and, if so, what merits are we being judged on?
"Are we being judged on the performance as set out by the education cabinet secretary or by the Welsh Government itself?
"If we don't have clarity on that, then it becomes even more meaningless really to put weight on Pisa results."
A Welsh Government spokesman said the education secretary's focus "remains on the next set of Pisa tests in 2018 where we expect to see improvement".
"Pisa allows us to judge ourselves against the world - everybody in our system must understand this," he said.
"It is a check and review against our development and will remain so."
The spokesman pointed to measures aimed at boosting the quality of teaching, from initial training and career development to a new National Academy for Educational Leadership.
"These actions reflect our shared ambitions and pride for the profession," he said.

Recorder Mr David Bartlett said it was "quite ludicrous that the banks have allowed this to happen", after hearing how a card was used by a thief to buy goods soon after being stolen.
Robert Vipond was jailed for 18 months at Exeter Crown Court after admitting fraud and theft offences.
He used the contactless card to buy £23 of tobacco and groceries in Exeter.
More on Judge slams contactless cards and other Devon and Cornwall stories
Contactless cards can be used for transactions of up to £30 and do not require the entering of a PIN number or any form of identification.
In sentencing Vipond, Mr Bartlett said: "You can make these contactless payments now. It seems quite ludicrous that banks allow this to happen.
"It seems anyone who steals a card can wave it around until it is reported as stolen."
The court heard the card was taken from a man's bedside table as he slept in his home in Exeter in the early hours of 5 April.
Vipond made the contactless purchase soon afterwards, and also took out cash from bank machines using a PIN number, which had been left on the same table as the wallet.
The offence was one of a spree in which Vipond used two stolen cards to withdraw £250 cash, buy a £1,500 watch and spend £279 of clothes.
He is a heroin addict with 32 previous convictions for theft, and had been released from a four and a half year sentence nine days before the offences.
Vipond, aged 34, of Gissons Lane, Kennford, admitted handling stolen bank cards, theft, and four counts of fraud.
The Rotary Club of Oxford Spires said it had abandoned plans for Sunday's charity event at Day's Lock, Little Wittenham with "great regret".
An Environment Agency flood alert is in place for the stretch of the river.
The club said the river is "still too high and fast to have our safety boats on the river", but would try to hold the event later in the year.
The annual event, based on the game played by AA Milne's characters, began in 1984 as a fundraiser for the RNLI.
It regularly attracts more than 1,000 people and was voted "Britain's Favourite Quirky Event" by the readers of Countryfile magazine in 2012.
His side conceded seven tries as they slipped to a second loss of the season.
Ospreys coach Steve Tandy praised his team's "huge shift" and added: "To get five points is really pleasing."
But Wilson commented: "Physically we didn't turn up tonight, we got manhandled and as a group - coaches included - we've got to look at that and say it's not good enough."
Blues were Wales' leading team going into the game, and led 10-3 after a quarter of an hour thanks to Kristian Dacey's try.
But a yellow card for full-back Dan Fish saw Ospreys score 19 points inside 10 minutes to take complete control and secure a bonus point before half time.
"The yellow card is a catalyst, if you like, but you can't blame the yellow card for the amount of tackles one-on-one that people missed leading up to what was three tries in that period," said Wilson.
"It's physically not the performance we've seen this season from the Blues players. They're a far better group of players than that and we'll work hard to put it right.
"Maybe it's a little bit of a reminder of where we are and that we still have a huge amount of work to do.
"We've had four good results and a reasonably good performance against Leinster, so there's definitely something there to build on, but tonight in a derby - the ones that we all talk about as the big games - it's not acceptable."
Tandy, whose side moved to second place in the table, was happy with the way his team bounced back from consecutive defeats away to Leinster and Ulster.
"It's really pleasing for the boys to get a bonus point win against the high-flying Blues and I think more importantly we backed up last week," he said.
"We were really disappointed that we didn't get a result out in Ulster but they have dug in and put in another huge shift and to get five points is really pleasing.
"It was how we kept our speed of ball, how we looked after the tackle contest really well and that allowed us to keep on the front foot and keep working the Blues."
Ospreys have now won 11 consecutive games against Cardiff Blues and scored 32 tries in their six matches this season.
The only disappointment for the Swansea-based region was a serious looking ankle injury to Canada international wing Jeff Hassler who was taken from the field on a stretcher.
"I don't think it's going to be good," said Tandy. "It's a big disappointment for us."
Jackie Thomson identified Angus Sinclair as one of the two men she saw with Christine Eadie and Helen Scott.
They were at the World's End pub in Edinburgh.
Mr Sinclair, 69, has pleaded not guilty to assaulting, raping and murdering the 17-year-olds.
Ms Thomson, who was with the girls on the night they went missing and were killed, was giving evidence on the third day of Mr Sinclair's trial at the High Court in Livingston.
She told the court that she and another friend, Tony, had left Christine and Helen in the World's End in the company of two men at around 10.45pm on Saturday 15 October, 37 years ago.
Prosecuting, Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland said Ms Thomson had been shown a series of 12 photographs of men by the police in 2004.
Mr Mulholland said she was shown the images to see if she could identify anyone who was one of the males she saw with the girls in the pub in 1977.
Pointing to Mr Sinclair, he told the court Ms Thomson had identified the accused.
He asked: "How sure were you that this person on photo K, Angus Sinclair, was one of the two male persons?"
Ms Thomson replied: "In 1977 he looked quite a lot different - younger than that. It is hard to say because I had seen photos in the newspapers."
Mr Mulholland asked her to answer the question directly, stating: "How sure were you?"
She replied: "I was pretty sure, yeah."
Earlier, a former boyfriend of one of two girls found dead in 1977 has told the court he never had sex with her.
Alan Dixon, 56, was in a relationship with Helen Scott for about two years until her death.
Ms Scott and Christine Eadie, both 17, were last seen alive at the World's End pub in Edinburgh in October 1977.
Their bodies were found in two different parts of East Lothian. Angus Sinclair, 69, denies murdering the girls after raping and strangling them.
Mr Sinclair is alleged to have gagged the girls, bound their wrists and tied a ligature around their necks.
He denies inflicting blunt force injuries on Ms Eadie by repeatedly punching and kicking her on the body and biting her.
He also denies forcing Ms Scott to walk barefoot into a field, ripping the strap from her handbag, repeatedly punching and kicking her on the head and body and stamping on her head.
And he denies stealing clothing, footwear, jewellery and other personal effects from the teenagers in an attempt to pervert the course of justice.
Mr Sinclair has lodged three special defences, of incrimination, consent and alibi.
The case is expected to last two to three weeks.

She performed the song when Barack Obama was officially sworn in to his second term as American president but lots of people noticed she wasn't singing live.
Instead she pretended to sing to a pre-recorded backing track, something known as lip synching.
She says it is because she had not had enough time to rehearse the song.
To prove how good her voice is she sang the anthem live for journalists at a press conference and promised not to lip synch when she performs at the Superbowl.
The Welshman, who helped Britain to track pursuit gold at the Rio Olympics, was due to be part of Team Sky for the Adelaide-based event.
"Not exactly how I pictured making my world tour debut but when your appendix ruptures there isn't much you can do," he wrote on Twitter.
Australian Caleb Ewan won the first stage riding for Orica-Scott.
Team Sky doctor Neil Heron said: "The earliest Owain will leave the hospital is Thursday and recovery and recuperation is likely to take at least four weeks.
"Owain is obviously disappointed, but he appreciates he needs to be 100% fit to get back racing."

Robots will eventually help carry out less invasive surgery in areas such as ear, nose and throat, and urology.
Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething said the "advanced facilities" would attract specialists to Wales and give patients the latest treatment.
A prostate surgery robot at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff will also be given extra funding.
The cash will boost facilities for training doctors from hospitals across south Wales in robotic surgery.
Professor Andrew Davies, chair of Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board, said: "This is great news for patients as it will allow our doctors and nurses to improve and extend their skills and surgical techniques."
The visitors, 2-1 up from the first game, went ahead through Lewis Milne, with David Cox adding to their lead.
Danny Denholm fired home early in the second half and Aiden Malone knocked in a back-heel finish.
Scott Brown pulled one back for Peterhead before Josh Peters completed the rout from close range.
The visitors made the perfect start on five minutes when Milne raced on to a through ball to slip his shot under keeper Graeme Smith from 14 yards.
The second goal arrived on 17 minutes when Cox steered in a Milne pass from a couple of yards.
Nicky Riley had a shot blocked for a corner and Leighton McIntosh saw his header clawed away by keeper Grant Adam as the home side pressed for a goal to give them some hope but Forfar, with a strong wind at their back, looked dangerous on the counter attack.
Denholm cracked in a powerful left foot shot six minutes after the restart from the left side of the Peterhead box to leave the home side with an impossible task.
Substitute Malone piled the misery on for the Balmoor side back-heeling in the fourth goal from close in.
Peterhead reduced the deficit when Brown rifled a low shot in from 22 yards but substitute Peters then knocked in his 17th goal of the season as the Loons marched back into the third tier at the first time of asking.
Forfar Athletic manager Gary Bollan: "We expected a tight game because Peterhead are a good side and not many teams come here and score five goals.
"We were without Gavin Swankie, who has been influential for us this season, but Lewis Milne filled his boots and got the first goal.
"We felt if we kept the ball well enough we could catch them on the break and cause them problems. Our back four were magnificent, getting the ball into wide areas and into midfield. At times, we cut them open.
"After the disappointment of relegation last season, we had a huge job in front of us. We probably should have won the league but we've done it the hard way."

The 23-year-old has been recovering from a shoulder injury after undergoing surgery in July.
Lee, who played in all three Tests for Wales in New Zealand in June, was expected to be sidelined for 12-16 weeks.
"He's looking good," said Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac.
"There's been consultation (with Wales) and everyone is happy with his testing.
"He's training with us today and he's stepping it up. He'll have more involvement next week."
Scarlets suffered a second successive Pro12 loss when they were beaten 20-9 by Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Friday.

The bill would have allowed faith-based organisations to refuse service to gay and transgender people.
Disney, the National Football League, Coca-Cola and others threatened to pull business out of the state.
The veto comes as other US states enacted similar laws that limit gay rights.
"I believe it is a matter of character for our state," Governor Nathan Deal said.
"I do not think that we have to discriminate against anyone to protect the faith-based community in Georgia."
Republicans lawmakers said the bill would protect religious people who believe serving gay and transgender people violates their beliefs.
The bill also would have protected clergy not wishing to perform gay marriages, and people who would not attend weddings based on religious beliefs.
If passed, opponents said it would have legalised discrimination and flattened ordinances passed to protect gay and transgender people.
Mr Deal said his decision was "about the character of our state and the character of our people. Georgia is a welcoming state; it is full of loving, kind and generous people."
Disney said it would not shoot films in Georgia if the bill became law.
"Disney and Marvel are inclusive companies, and although we have had great experiences filming in Georgia, we will plan to take our business elsewhere should any legislation allowing discriminatory practices be signed into state law," a Disney spokesman told Variety last week.
Warner Bros and cable network AMC released a similar statement last week. AMC produces the hit show The Walking Dead, which is filmed in the state.
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank denounced the bill, and the National Football League said passing the bill would have hurt Atlanta's chances of hosting the Super Bowl.
"The message to Governor Nathan Deal was loud and clear: this deplorable legislation was bad for his constituents, bad for business and bad for Georgia's future," said Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a leading gay rights group. "Discrimination and intolerance have no place in the 21st Century."
Republican State Senator Josh McKoon said he was "disappointed" and thought Mr Deal was someone "the faith community could rely on".
After the US Supreme Court legalised same-sex marriage last year, many conservative states drew up laws in an attempt to protect the religious community.
Last week, North Carolina's legislature passed a sweeping bill that bars its cities and counties from having their own anti-discrimination rules.
Legislators pushed for the bill after Charlotte passed an ordinance allowing transgender people to use restrooms according to gender identity.
Lawmakers in several other US states have proposed similar legislation - sometimes referred to as "bathroom bills".
The North Carolina law has also drawn criticism from the business community with Charlotte-based Bank of America, Apple and other large companies expressing concern about the law.
On Monday, a federal lawsuit was filed against the governor of North Carolina over the new law.
Two transgender men along with two civil rights groups filed the lawsuit, asking a judge to declare the law unconstitutional.
Swansea Bay City Region's chairman Sir Terry Matthews aims to transform these sectors in the same way the internet changed telecom.
The blueprint is to create up to 33,000 jobs over the next 20 years.
A fibre-optic transatlantic cable from New York to Oxwich Bay would be a "game changer" to bring ultrafast broadband.
The city region has decided to go for something distinctive and ambitious in its vision - not based on physical infrastructure or huge transport projects.
It concedes that south west Wales is underachieving economically and also needs to be resilient, particularly with the difficulties being faced by big employers like Tata Steel at Port Talbot.
Those behind it say they want to "punch above our weight" and offer something of importance to the UK, as well as developing something different to what other city deals are offering.
South west Wales would in essence become a giant test bed for internet and digital innovation.
The bid has been analysed by Cardiff University and it is estimated the economic potential could see 33,000 jobs created over 20 years - worth £3.3bn in output.
The four local councils in the city region are looking at a £100m commitment over 20 years, with contributions from the private sector, higher education and European Union.
The negotiations for the fibre-optic link from north America is understood to be at an advanced stage and would bring the ultra-fast broadband speeds to west Wales first, enabling towns along the coast to benefit.
Sir Terry, speaking from Canada, said it was important to realise the main transmission communication channel from New York to London was via the south west Wales region.
"It speaks very loudly to the importance of building up a technology sector on those communication channels.
"There's an opportunity of creating a significant industry which is in software. Coding should become the name of the game for the people in this region."
In a letter to Chancellor George Osborne, Sir Terry - who made his millions in internet developments of the telecom industry - said the vision addressed global challenges and was of a sufficient scale to attract international investors.
"The prosperity gap between Swansea Bay and the rest of Wales and the UK remains stubbornly and unacceptably high.
"Real transformation will not be achieved by simply doing more of the same."
Swansea council recently unveiled its own regeneration proposals and leader Rob Stewart called the city deal proposal "an enormously exciting bid".
The shooting happened in Braithwaite Road, Sparkbrook, at about 23:30 BST on Thursday. The 22-year-old man remains in a stable condition in hospital.
West Midlands Police said three men aged 20, 21 and 25, have been arrested in connection with the shooting.
The busy Stratford Road at the junction of Bordesley Middleway and Braithwaite Road has been cordoned off while forensic investigations take place.

Lizzi Walton is struggling under the weight of 25,000 brochures, and she is inundated with calls.
It is a good job she can multi-task because she has got plenty to do.
From this tiny office in the middle of a small Gloucestershire market town, Lizzi is running an international festival - one that will see some 15,000 visitors swell the local streets this month.
So are we talking music, literature or the latest fad, food - all of which are now popular festival fodder?
No, this festival is all about fabric or, to be more precise, textiles - and it is already into its sixth year.
Stroud has a proud textile heritage. In its heyday, the town was bursting at the seams with mills churning out cloth.
By the mid 19th century, there were more than 1,000 looms at work in what was known as the Golden Valley.
Stroud Scarlet, a beautiful red woollen fabric, graced the backs of the Army, the Royal Navy and the Royal Family, and local manufacturers were world-renowned.
Today Stroud still boasts a mill that makes cloth for snooker tables and championship tennis balls.
It is this former global reputation that Lizzi is seeking to build on.
"Stroud has such a proud textile heritage and I wanted that tradition to live on," she says.
"This area is teeming with talent and was at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement.
"[Famous 19th century designer] William Morris' country house Kelmscott Manor is just up the road."
Born in Stroud, Lizzi trained in fine art at Winchester and has spent much of her life working in arts administration.
Then, a few years ago, she decided to channel her considerable creative energy into putting the town back on the map and single-handedly started the festival of which she is now the director.
"I support good design, provide contemporary artists with a platform to showcase their work, and aim to create a real buzz around textiles again," she says.
This year, more than ever, one senses that buzz is growing. The recent recession has awakened a whole new generation to the delights of sewing, knitting and crochet.
"Make do and mend" has gone from being a wartime necessity to a fashion trend, and in Stroud itself two enterprising barmaids from The Prince Albert are now running popular monthly clothing repair sessions alongside the peanuts and pints.
But Lizzi is keen to point out that textiles are not just about domestic crafts.
"It's really not just about women making quilts, although of course that definitely has a place," she says.
"Textiles helped make Britain great and fashion, for instance, is a huge generator of wealth.
"Fabrics play a major role in all our lives, from the cradle to the grave we're literally touched by textiles. It's a global language."
This year the festival is an exciting mix of exhibitions, talks and workshops, with artists coming from as far afield as Holland, France and Japan to take part.
Established world-class makers rub shoulders with emerging talent, and quirky fringe events provide opportunities for everyone to get involved.
Putting on a festival in a recession is no easy task, and the programme is delivered on a shoestring. Apart from Lizzi, there is just one part-time administrator.
"With investment, we could draw even bigger crowds," she says.
"The local economy is already benefiting from hosting an international festival, and visitor numbers have grown year-on-year, with 65% of people coming from outside of the county.
"Bed and breakfasts in the town this month are full. The craft sector brings in cash and helps people think outside of the box, both important commodities - especially today."
The 5.2cm (two inch) coin was taken to the auction house in Dorchester, Dorset, by its owner who was unaware of its significance.
The Declaration Pound, which dates from 1643, was described by auctioneers as "extremely rare".
It was struck in Oxford, a year after the English Civil War broke out, at a new mint created to launch an official currency under Royalist control.
Duke's Auctioneers had expected the coin to fetch £50,000.
It had been handed down through several generations to the current owner, who said she did not know where it had originally come from.
The coin marks Charles I's attempts to regain his failing power from the Parliamentarians led by Oliver Cromwell.
A legend inscribed on the back of the coin in Latin reads: "Let God arise and let his enemies be scattered".
It is seen as a declaration of the king's power and his belief in absolute monarchy.
According to the National Archives, £1 in 1640 would have been worth £85.80 in 2005.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommendation includes a ban on hands-free devices, making it stricter than any current state laws.
Thirty-five states have banned texting when driving, and nine states have outlawed hand-held mobile phone use.
But enforcement is generally not a priority.
And no states ban the use of hands-free devices for all drivers.
The NTSB does not have the power to impose such a nationwide ban, but its recommendations carry significant weight with federal regulators and lawmakers.
In a unanimous vote, the board also recommended increased enforcement of existing laws.
The NTSB recommendations would make an exception for devices seen as aiding driver safety, such as GPS systems.
The debate was prompted by a pile-up in the state of Missouri last year, caused by a 19-year-old driver who sent or received 11 texts in the few minutes before the crash.
Missouri has a law banning drivers under 21 years old from texting while driving, but was not enforcing it regularly at the time of the accident.
"We're not here to win a popularity contest," NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman told reporters on Tuesday.
"No email, no text, no update, no call is worth a human life."
Other high-profile cases investigated by the NTSB include the death of 25 people in a train collision, which involved an engineer texting.
Another accident involved a lorry driver who was using his phone when he collided with a van, killing 11 people.
About two out of 10 drivers have texted or emailed from a mobile phone while driving, according to a survey of US drivers by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Half of drivers between 21-24 years of age had done so.
The survey found that many drivers do not think it is dangerous when they use phones on the road - only when others do.
The body of the 18-year-old was recovered by RNLI crews close to Weymouth ferry terminal on 15 March.
Louis, from Dorchester, went missing on Valentine's Day after a night out. It is understood he was celebrating a friend's birthday when he went missing.
The force said in a statement: "His family have been updated. Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time."
He wants to ensure firms in countries which do not use the euro as their currency are not discriminated against.
He also wants to ensure those countries, including the UK, are never required to bail-out euro members.
German leader Angela Merkel said her message to Mr Osborne was that the UK must "stay in" the EU.
Mr Osborne's visit to Germany comes as the UK government "steps up the pace" of renegotiation talks ahead of an in/out referendum promised by the end of 2017.
Prime Minister David Cameron will next week set out Britain's demands in full in a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk.
But Mr Osborne is preparing the ground with a speech to business leaders in Berlin, setting out his vision of Britain's place in a "two-tier" Europe.
He will tell the BDI, the Federation of German Industries, the EU must accept that the single market has more than one currency and that it "should not discriminate against any business on the basis of the currency of the country in which they reside".
"What we seek are principles embedded in EU law and binding on EU institutions that safeguard the operation of the union for all 28 member states. The principles must support the integrity of the European single market."
And he will add: "We must never let taxpayers in countries that are not in the euro bear the cost for supporting countries in the eurozone."
Not much happens in the European Union without Germany's agreement.
So the conversations between the Chancellor George Osborne and the German finance minister, Wolfgang Schauble, really matter.
And Mr Osborne will use this visit to give more details of two of the four goals the government hopes to achieve as part of their quest for a new relationship with the rest of the EU - an explicit end to the commitment of ever closer union, where countries inside the EU inevitably become more and more aligned, and a legal guarantee that British businesses won't lose out because they are not in the eurozone.
Making those demands to the rest of the EU is one thing, persuading their leaders to help the UK's cause is quite another.
Speaking ahead of Mr Osborne's appearance at the conference, Angela Merkel said: "I think Great Britain should remain a member of the European Union. Mr Osborne is not here yet (at the BDI meeting), but you can relay a message to him: Stay in.
"But of course this is not just up to us. In the end the British have to decide. The only promise we can make is this: Whereever their demands are justified, more competitiveness, more effectiveness in the EU, the British demands are our demands too.
"Of course we won't be able to agree on everything, we have always found possibilities for opt-outs, and the Europe of today is not a one-speed Europe.
"For us there are many reasons to keep the UK in the EU and we will do everything we can to make this happen. But the British have to decide and I hope they will make a decision that takes Europe forward."
Another crucial demand for the UK is the ability to opt-out of the EU's commitment to "ever-closer union" between member states, which dates back to the 1957 Treaty of Rome.
Mr Osborne will tell members of the BDI the British people "do not want to be part of an ever-closer union".
He will stress the British government's desire to stay in a reformed, EU, but will add: "It needs to be a Europe where we are not part of that ever closer union you are more comfortable with.
"In the UK, where this is widely interpreted as a commitment to ever-closer political integration, that concept is now supported by a tiny proportion of voters.
"I believe it is this that is the cause of some of the strains between Britain and our European partners.
"Ever closer union is not right for us any longer."
He will say that the new principles "must ensure that as the eurozone chooses to integrate it does so in a way that does not damage the interests of non-euro members".
The chancellor fears Britain could be kept out of decisions on single market laws that will have an impact on its economy as integration between the 19 euro member states intensifies.
His proposals could be enshrined in future EU treaty changes after Britain has held its referendum but only if Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne can persuade other EU countries to accept that they do not represent special treatment for the UK.
Michael Sandford, 20, pleaded guilty in September to being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm and disrupting an official function.
He was accused of grabbing a policeman's gun at a rally in Las Vegas in order to shoot at the candidate.
His mother says "he is remorseful over what he did".
Sandford, of Dorking, Surrey, had faced up to 10 years in prison over the alleged assassination plot.
The court heard that he could be eligible for release in four months' time, at which point he will be deported to the UK.
The defence team said their client is autistic and suffers seizures and obsession-compulsion anxiety.
Michael Sandford appeared in court in orange prison garb, looking pale and slight, his ankles shackled.
He smiled as members of his family waved to him and mouthed: "I love you."
Sandford then broke down in tears as he apologised for what he had done and for taking up time and costing the taxpayer money.
"I just feel terrible about it," he said.
The judge James Mahan appeared sympathetic, telling Sandford: "I don't think you harboured malice in your heart."
His mother, Lynne Sandford, also addressed the judge, saying her son was "cherished and adored".
"It breaks my heart to see him in this environment," she said, as she appealed for a lenient sentence on the basis that her son needed treatment and the support of his family.
After Sandford was arrested, he told officers he had planned to shoot the billionaire Republican candidate.
He failed to pull the weapon from an officer's holster, the court heard.
His mother said that she had lost contact with her son after he left home to travel around the US in 2015.
He had previously shown no interest in politics, and she was unable to explain why he would want to shoot Mr Trump.
According to court documents, Sandford, who was homeless and living in the US illegally having overstayed his visa, told the Secret Service that he had driven from California to Nevada with the goal of shooting Mr Trump.
The papers detail how he had been plotting the attack for around a year and had gone to a gun range in Las Vegas the day before the attack to learn how to shoot, firing 20 rounds from a 9mm Glock pistol.
He reportedly told an officer that he had expected to die in the attack but that he also had tickets for a later Trump rally in Arizona in case he needed a second chance.
Judge James C Mahan described the incident as "a crazy stunt".
"You have a medical problem," the judge told Sandford, adding that it is "nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about."
"I don't see you as evil or a sociopath," the judge said, wishing Sandford luck as he rose to leave the courtroom.

With polls narrowing, experts say the votes of young people will be "absolutely crucial" in the contest.
BBC Scotland teamed up with The Social to host a debate with young politicians taking questions from an audience of people aged under 30.
They highlighted issues including housing, human rights and homelessness.
Taking part in the debate, which was streamed live on Facebook and Twitter, were the SNP's Stewart McDonald, Labour's Pam Duncan-Glancy, Conservative Kirstene Hair, Lib Dem Kris Chapman and Green MSP Ross Greer, attempting to win over a panel of young voters.
The key topics discussed focused on engaging young people in politics.
Prof John Curtice of Strathclyde University said the turnout rate among the young could be "absolutely crucial" in the election.
He said: "One thing we know from every single election about younger voters is that they are less likely to vote. And therefore how many of them turn up to vote, whether they abstain in the kind of numbers they did in the last election or whether they turn out in rather high numbers this time, could well in truth determine or have a significant impact on the outcome of this election."
Discussing political engagement in the debate, Mr McDonald said: "My experience is that young people are generally quite well tapped into the issues in a way that perhaps older generations aren't. Young people tend to be more broad and open-minded on the issues, and the more time we spend engaging them the better."
Mr Greer, who was elected as Holyrood's youngest MSP aged 21, said: "When I was elected, there were some people saying 'how can you possibly be a politician at that age, you don't have enough life experience to know what you're talking about. But our parliaments are supposed to represent all of society - they're not doing that if they're full of white men over the age of 50."
Ms Hair said it was "really important that you engage with young people", and said she had seen more young people involved in Tory campaigns in recent years.
She also said Ruth Davidson had lobbied Tory colleagues at Westminster to reduce the voting age in UK-wide elections to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote.
Meanwhile Ms Duncan-Glancy said her party was standing on policies aimed at engaging young voters.
She said: "The manifesto we have put forward for this election is a manifesto for young people. We've got policies to be proud of, which is why you'll see a lot more from Labour on social media on what we'll do for young people."
And Mr Chapman said future generations were the "most powerful tool in society", saying it was important to invest in them.
He said: "It's all about engaging young people and representing them and making sure they have a voice at all levels of parliament and politics."

Part-time bowler Keogh proved unplayable on a turning wicket as Glamorgan lost all 10 wickets in the morning, collapsing to 124 all out.
Duckett then raced to a hundred off 81 balls and passed 1,000 first-class runs for the season before the hosts declared on 305-7.
Glamorgan ended on 0-0 at stumps.
Keogh, who had only taken three wickets in an innings previously, bowled unchanged through the first session with fielders clustered around the bat from the start.
Only experienced left-handers Jacques Rudolph (37) and Mark Wallace (25 not out) had the confidence to last for long.
Keogh's figures were the sixth-best of all time by a Northamptonshire bowler and the best ever against Glamorgan.
Duckett dominated century stands with both Rob Newton (25) and Keogh (40) as Glamorgan had to turn to Graham Wagg's occasional spin for wickets.
The England Lions left-hander had no mercy on the Glamorgan attack and his rapid scoring allowed Alex Wakely to declare just before the close, although Glamorgan survived without scoring until stumps.
Northants all-rounder Rob Keogh told BBC Radio Northampton:
"It's been an interesting day, three-for was my previous best and I wasn't expecting that at all, but it's spinning and 450 looks a long way away for them.
"I saw their young debutant (Kiran Carlson) spin a couple and we were saying that if he can get five, then Whitey (Graeme White) or me should be getting five-for, but things went my way and I ended up getting nine.
"Ben (Duckett) is an unbelievable player of spin and he didn't let their spinners settle at all, he's in the form of his life and hopefully that sort of pitch sets him up for a trip to Bangladesh (with England.)
"Apparently there's a bit of bad weather around Saturday, but 450 behind is a lot on this wicket."
Glamorgan all-rounder Graham Wagg told BBC Wales Sport:
"It's not a 120 all-out sort of wicket, we batted quite poorly and their spinners got some purchase out of the wicket, I don't think it's acceptable to get bowled out in a session and we're looking to put that right second innings.
"(Rob Keogh) was looking to hit my footmarks and it worked for us with Kiran (Carlson) getting five-for, Rob Keogh did make it spit but there's no excuses.
"I do enjoy bowling spin but Ben Duckett played me fantastically well, take his score out and it's a different game- so hats off to the guy.
"It's going to be a heck of a task getting 450 but if we bat two days, and it is a big hope, we're going to be somewhere near- so we've got to set our stall out to bat two days." | Northamptonshire set Glamorgan an improbable target of 451 after spinner Rob Keogh took a career-best 9-52 and Ben Duckett hit 185. | 37,246,434 | 711 | 45 | false |
Amoo, the 25-year-old winger who arrived from Carlisle United last summer, has signed a new one-year deal.
Midfielders Stuart Bannigan and Steven Lawless are free agents this summer.
"We will not hang about forever for them," Archibald said. "If something comes up and we need to move, we will move."
Bannigan and Lawless have been approached, along with fellow midfielder Abdul Osman, by Scottish Premiership rivals Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Lawless was also wanted by Dundee United, but the Tannadice club will be relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Osman rejected Caley Thistle's advances and signed a new contract at Firhill.
"The players are wise enough to know that, in football, if they get something better, they will take it and, if we get something better, we will take it," said Archibald.
"I've not had a chat with Steven for a few weeks. His wife is due to give birth. Stevie is always a bit relaxed on that. He knows we want to keep him."
Englishman Amoo, who began his career with Liverpool before spells with MK Dons, Hull City, Bury, Preston North End and Tranmere Rovers, has made 39 appearances for Thistle.
"David's had a great second half to the season," said Archibald. "David is honest enough to admit he took a long time to settle in and get going, but we saw the best of him in the second half of the season and we've said to him he has got to go and kick on.
"He has given a few full-backs tough tough games in the second half of the season, so we need more of the same from him.
"He has given us a bit of pace and creativity and popped up with five goals.
"Now he knows the Scottish game and knows what is expected of him from ourselves, we are hoping for more from him next season."
Meanwhile, Osman (knee), defender Callum Booth (foot) and forward Christie Elliott (groin) and have undergone surgery ahead of their final Premiership match of the season against Hamilton Academical.
"We are hoping they are all going to be back for pre-season, whether it's the first day or not," added Archibald.
Its Southampton Transit van factory and the stamping plant at Dagenham, east London, will shut, with union sources saying job losses could reach 2,000.
Ford said it planned to close the plants next year.
The news came a day after Ford said it had started consultations on closing its factory at Genk in Belgium with the loss of 4,300 jobs to cut costs.
The firm told the unions it was looking to close the Genk factory, which makes the Mondeo and S-Max models, in 2014.
Ford said it hoped to achieve the job losses through voluntary redundancies and redeployments.
"We will address the crisis in Europe with a laser focus on new products, a stronger brand and increased cost efficiency," said Ford boss Alan Mulally.
"We recognise the impact our actions will have on many employees and their families in Europe, and we will work together with all stakeholders during this necessary transformation of our business."
In pictures: The Ford Transit era
The carmaker also announced it would be investing in a new diesel engine range at Dagenham.
Ford said the decision to close the plants was taken "against a backdrop of the severe and persistent economic crisis in Europe", which had seen demand for cars in Western Europe drop by 20% since 2007 and car sales in the region hit a 20-year low. It predicted a loss for Ford Europe of more than $1.5bn (£930m) in 2012.
Paul Everitt, head of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said the move was "part of wider restructuring to ensure a stronger and more competitive European automotive industry".
"The immediate priority is to help those impacted secure alternative employment. The decline in European vehicle markets and the uncertain future growth prospects has resulted in a number of vehicle manufacturers restructuring their operations.
By Jorn MadslienBusiness reporter, BBC News
Ford's plan to close the two plants is part of its efforts to revive its loss-making European division, rather than a reflection of the efforts and quality of its UK workforce.
Car sales in Europe have slumped during the eurozone crisis, and Ford expects the weakness to persist.
Demand for commercial vehicles such as the Transit has also fallen as many of its business customers are in difficulty.
Ford says it is eager to scale back its manufacturing capacity to match demand, a logic that might please investment analysts but will do little to comfort those whose jobs are on the line.
Carmakers and workers jostle over European factories
"These are difficult times for the European automotive industry as manufacturers adapt to new market conditions and changing patterns of global demand."
However, unions criticised Ford for its decision and the way the carmaker went about announcing it.
Unite said the plant closures could lead to the loss of up to 2,000 jobs at Ford, with production of the Transit van moving to Turkey.
"Ford has betrayed its workforce and its loyal customer base," said the union's general secretary Len McCluskey.
"Unite is going to fight these closures. This announcement has been handled disgracefully.
"Only a few months ago Ford was promising staff a new transit model for Southampton in 2014. The planned closures will really hurt the local economies and the supply chain will be badly hit - up to 10,000 jobs could be at risk."
The GMB union said 1,000 jobs would be going at Dagenham.
"This is devastating news for the workforce in Southampton and Dagenham. It's also devastating news for UK manufacturing," said the union's national officer, Justin Bowden.
"Ford's track record in Britain is one of broken promises and factory closures."
Some new posts will be created at the Dagenham engine plant, which will build Ford's new Panther engine, reports say.
Sources have said Speed, the national manager for nearly a year, was found hanged.
Cheshire Police confirmed he was found dead at 07:08 GMT at his home in Huntington, Chester. They said there were no suspicious circumstances.
Former Wales team mate Ryan Giggs said: "Words cannot begin to describe how sad I feel at hearing this awful news."
He said: "Our thoughts are with his family at what must be a very difficult time for them."
The FAW said: "We extend our sympathies and condolences to the family.
"We ask that everyone respects the family's privacy at this very sad time."
The FAW added: "That this tragedy should have overtaken someone so young and talented is a huge loss not only for his family and friends but a nation as a whole."
Speed, who was awarded the MBE in the 2010 Birthday Honours, leaves a wife and two children.
Phil Pritchard, FAW president, said they would do "whatever we can" to help Speed's family.

Sunday football plus tributes to Gary Speed
In a statement, Cheshire Police said: "At 7.08am on Sunday 27th November Cheshire Police was informed of a sudden death at an address in Huntington in Chester.
"Officers went to the scene where a 42-year-old man was found dead.
"The next of kin have been informed and have confirmed the identity of the man as Gary Speed.
85 caps
"There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and the family have requested that they are left in peace to grieve at this difficult time."
Police said a family tribute will be issued later.
Speed had appeared on BBC1's Football Focus show on Saturday afternoon, just hours before his death.
Footballers, celebrities and politicians began issuing tributes within minutes of the news.
Former Wales team mate, Robbie Savage, Tweeted: "The world has lost a great man in Gary speed I'm devastated spoke to him yesterday morning why ! Why. Why !! I'll miss him so much x
"He come to watch strictly 3/4 weeks ago I high fived him in the front row he loved the show ,he loved life he loved his family ! Devastated".
Former Wales team mate Ryan Giggs said: "I am totally devastated. Gary Speed was one of the nicest men in football and someone I am honoured to call a team-mate and friend.
"Words cannot begin to describe how sad I feel at hearing this awful news. It goes without saying my thoughts are with his family at this tremendously sad time."
First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "I'm deeply saddened to hear about the death of Gary Speed.
"This is devastating news and our thoughts are with his family at what must be a very difficult time for them."
Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan tweeted: "This is a sad day for football and for everyone in Wales.
"Gary Speed served club and country as a player and manager with great distinction."
Andrew RT Davies, Welsh Conservatives leader, said: "Gary Speed was tremendously gifted and I - along with millions of others - will always remember him as a legend in the game of football."
'Never be forgotten'
Welsh Liberal Democrats leader, Kirsty Williams, said: "It is a terrible, terrible shock. A tragedy for the Speed family and a tragedy for Welsh football."
Plaid Cymru leader Ieuan Wyn Jones said the "whole nation is in shock", adding: "He will never be forgotten."
At the Liberty Stadium in Swansea - where the home side were playing Aston Villa a minute's silence followed by a minute's applause was held.
Speed, born in Mancot, Flintshire, took over the Wales job in December 2010, and earlier this month, said the side's rapid improvement had exceeded all expectations.
A 4-1 friendly win over Norway represented a third successive win for Wales, and Speed's fifth in 10 games as manager.
At the time, he said: "We've progressed further than I'd have thought in this space of time but we've still got a lot of work to do."
'Stunned and saddened'
Speed won 85 caps for his country during a 14-year international career.
He was given the top job in Welsh football despite only having four months managerial experience.
Speed began his playing career at Leeds United after coming through the trainee ranks, and was part of the side that won the last Football League title in 1992, before the introduction of the Premier League.
A Leeds spokesman said the club was "stunned and saddened" by the news.
He was handed his Wales debut as a 20-year-old in the 1-0 friendly win over Costa Rica in May 1990.
He left Leeds in 1996 after 312 appearances to join Everton - who he went on to captain - in a £3.5m move.
Seven goals
Newcastle followed, in a £5.5m switch in 1998. During his six years with the Magpies, he suffered two FA Cup final defeats, but enjoyed a taste of Champions League football.
He then spent four years with Bolton Wanderers after agreeing a £750,000 move.
Speed became the first player to reach 500 Premier League appearances.
He retired from international duty in 2004, having scored seven goals and captaining his country 44 times.
Speed's final appearance came in 3-2 World Cup qualifying defeat by Poland in October 2004.
His tally of 85 caps is a record for an outfield player.
The benchmark index gave up 163.9 points or 5.4% at the close, to end at 2,856.27 points.
That is the biggest one-day percentage fall since August 2009.
Investors went on a profit-taking spree one day after the benchmark index broke past the 3,000 mark for the first time in more than three years.
Shares of Chinese financial and property firms were caught in the selloff.
The profit-taking filtered into neighbouring Hong Kong, where the benchmark Hang Seng index closed lower by 2.3% to 23,485.83 points.
Other Asian shares also traded lower on Tuesday, following losses on Wall Street prompted by slumping oil prices and worries about global growth.
In the US the S&P 500 closed down 0.7% - its biggest daily percentage drop since 22 October - weighed down by energy shares.
Brent crude prices sank to a new five-year low, falling to $65.33 - its lowest since September 2009.
In Japan, the Nikkei snapped a seven-day rally and closed down 0.7% to 17,813.38 as the yen strengthened.
The dollar was at 119.99 yen, down from 120.78 yen.
Among the stock movers in Asia, Takata shares jumped in Tokyo trade following reports that Honda's President Takanobu Ito said the automaker would step in to assist the hard-hit auto parts-maker if necessary.
The company, which is involved in a massive airbag recall, saw shares rise as much as 6% before falling back to close up 0.3%.
Meanwhile in Australia the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 closed down 1.7% at 5,321.8 under pressure from resources and energy stocks.
Shares of heavyweight miner BHP Billiton fell more than 4% to their lowest since March 2009.
Investor sentiment was also weighed on by a private survey that showed that business confidence continued to decline in November.
National Australia Bank's survey showed that business conditions also fell in the period with the biggest drops in the finance, property and recreation sectors.
In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi index ended down 0.4% at 1,970.95 points.
On the one hand, there are the most amazing examples of what the human imagination can achieve. You are surrounded by great beauty and great art.
On the other, there is the crass vulgarity and jaw-dropping insensitivity of the art world's high-rollers and super-rich consumers enjoying an event that purports to be about All The World's Futures but is, in fact, about as detached from reality as it is possible to be.
Into this strange environment step hundreds of artists from across the globe, representing their countries in pop-up venues and national pavilions dotted across the Venetian landscape.
Sarah Lucas is here representing Britain. The onetime ladette of the YBA movement is now a 50-something woman living quietly in rural Suffolk. Her reputation is based on a body of work produced over the last 25 years that is often lewd, crude and extremely rude. Visual puns alluding to male and female genitalia have been a perennial favourite.
And they still are. The rather grand British Pavilion, which sits regally at the end of a tree-lined avenue in the Giardini Gardens, has been given the full Sarah Lucas treatment.
It starts in the portico, which she has adorned with a fourteen-and-a-half foot phallus, bolt upright and painted bright yellow. If, for some inexplicable reason, you failed to notice the giant sculpture, there's a near identical version in the first room you enter.
"I don't think it's an offensive or rude show particularly. We've all got bodies," Lucas tells me, while sitting on a washing machine that resembles a fried egg.
"They're a lot of strange taboos we all live under the influence of, without thinking very much about. I suppose the thing that tickles me is to present some of those strange areas and to open them up to the sunshine a bit."
The sunshine comes in the form of an all-yellow colour scheme covering all the walls and doorways. "I had to get eggs in there somewhere," she says, alluding to one of her favourite motifs.
The pervasive yellow is broken up by a series of plaster sculptures that have been cast from the lower torso of Lucas and several of her female friends. One sits across an upended toilet bowl, another lies back on an old desk. In all instances the legs are parted to reveal an orifice or two, into which the artist has delicately placed an unlit cigarette. She describes the intervention as a "Chauceresque gesture".
Anyone who knows Sarah Lucas's oeuvre will be familiar with her aesthetic and sense of humour. Some love it; others do not. The Times art critic, Rachel Campbell-Johnston described the exhibition as "embarrassing". While one late middle-aged woman with an American accent left the show extolling its virtues and asking if she could buy some of the work.
Whatever your opinion, the show demands your attention. It is also more subtle than you might initially think. The work, which is made with love and care, is really more about friendship, collaboration, and joy. Sarah Lucas is celebrating her past, not trying to avoid it.
Sarah Lucas' British Council commission is at the Venice Biennale from 9 May until 22 November.
Social housing specialist Connaught, which employed 10,000 people, had £220m of debt when it went bust in 2010.
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC), which imposed the fine, spent five years investigating PwC's audit of Connaught in 2009.
It found evidence of misconduct by PwC and retired partner Stephen Harrison.
Mr Harrison was fined £150,000 and also reprimanded.
PwC was ordered to pay the FRC's legal costs and make an interim payment of £1.5m.
The FRC said the auditors had committed misconduct in three areas: mobilisation costs, long-term contracts and intangible assets.
PwC said it was sorry that it had fallen short of professional standards, adding: "Since 2010 when the case began, we've worked hard to improve our procedures and processes."
Exeter-based Connaught was a FTSE 250 company. At one stage, it had a market value of more than £500m.
It ran into serious difficulties after it emerged that a series of contracts would be loss-making.
Despite the management's efforts to put together a rescue plan, its creditors decided instead to put the business into administration under UK insolvency procedures.
In a statement, the Lord of the Rings director said photos shared by Bilgin Ciftci actually showed the "loveable" Smeagol.
Dr Ciftci faces imprisonment after tweeting photos of Mr Erdogan and the character in similar poses.
The court had asked experts to decide whether Gollum is good or evil.
In a statement made alongside screenwriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, Mr Jackson told the Wrap website: "We can state categorically: none of [the pictures] feature the character known as Gollum. All of them are images of the character called Smeagol."
"Smeagol is a joyful, sweet character. Smeagol does not lie, deceive, or attempt to manipulate others.
"He is not evil, conniving, or malicious - these personality traits belong to Gollum, who should never be confused with Smeagol."
Mr Ciftci's lawyer, Hicran Danisman, told the Associated Press she had been forced to argue that Gollum was not evil after a freedom of information defence failed.
In a statement, the Brazilian foreign ministry said the navy and other agencies had been informed, and help was offered to Ecuador and Peru.
Last month, an estimated 11,480 barrels of oil leaked from a damaged pipeline into the River Coca in Ecuador.
The spill has already reached the Peruvian Amazon region of Loreto.
"Ibama (Brazilian Institute of Environment), Brazil's navy and ANP (National Petroleum Agency) are on alert in the event that the oil slick reaches the country," Brazil's foreign ministry said.
"Brazil has offered aid to Ecuador and Peru to support the work of containment and dispersion of the oil slick in the two countries."
On 31 May, a landslide damaged the trans-Ecuador pipeline, causing a spill of some 420,000 gallons (1.6m litres) of crude oil.
Some entered the Coca river, a tributary of the Amazon that also flows through Peru and Brazil.
As it travelled downstream, the slick polluted drinking water in Coca, an urban area of about 80,000 people at the confluence of the Coca and Napo rivers in Ecuador.
Days later, on 4 June, the authorities in Peru said the spill had reached the Loreto region.
The Peruvian Environment Minister, Manuel Pulgar Vidal, called it a "very serious problem" and said Peru could seek compensation.
"If there is a serious level of affected areas, international law always gives you the possibility to establish a compensation issue.
"But... first we have to look at the extent of the problem," he told Peru's Canal N television.
On Saturday, President Rafael Correa of Ecuador offered an apology to Peru "for the problems we have caused".
He added that the Peruvian navy were helping Ecuador to clean up the spill.
Ecuador's state oil company, Petroecuador, has said it has hired a specialist US firm, Clean Caribbean & Americas, to begin clean-up operations.
In an unprecedented move, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society advised against following, contacting or sharing content from the three men.
Those who did could be in violation of the Computer Crimes Act, it warned.
A rights group said it "showed brazen determination to silence dissent".
The three people are historian Somsak Jeamteerasakul, academic Pavin Chachavanpongpun and journalist Andrew MacGregor Marshall.
All three currently live outside Thailand and are active on social media.
They have spoken about the military government, the monarchy and the use of the Lese Majeste law - strict regulations that block any criticism of the royal institution but which rights groups say are used to stifle dissent.
An official from the ministry, Somsak Khaosuwan, said the order was to "benefit the people so they can search for the right information... and use their judgement so that it (the order) will not affect them".
But Amnesty International, in a statement, said Thai authorities had "plunged to fresh depths in restricting people's freedoms of expression".
"After imprisoning people for what they say both online and offline, and hounding critics into exile, they want to cut people off from each other altogether," Deputy Director for South East Asia and the Pacific Josef Benedict said.
Thailand has been run by the military since it ousted an elected civilian government in 2014.
Widely-revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who had spent decades on the throne, died in October 2016. He has been succeeded by his son, King Maha Vajiralongkorn, who is yet to enjoy the same level of popularity as his father.
In its latest report in March, the UN Human Rights Committee expressed concern about freedom of expression in Thailand. It called on Thailand to stop using criminal defamation laws and provisions such as the Computer Crimes Act as "tools to suppress the expression of critical and dissenting opinions".
On Wednesday, Briton Tyson Fury - who had withdrawn from two scheduled rematches with Ukraine's Klitschko - relinquished his WBA and WBO belts.
That leaves Britain's Joshua and Klitschko free to fight for the WBA and IBF titles in a unification bout.
"It is the big favourite to be the next fight for both," Hearn said.
He told BBC Radio 5 live that he thought both men would be "going to the gym now everyday focusing on each other and that fight being next".
He added: "Whether it gets over the line time will tell. It is the biggest heavyweight fight in the last 10 years. I want to get it over the line."
Unbeaten Joshua, 26, was scheduled to defend his title on 26 November in Manchester, but Hearn says a fight with Klitschko, 40, would most likely be held on 10 December, probably in Manchester or London.
Fury beat Klitschko last November to win the WBA, IBF and WBO titles.
Within two weeks the Briton was stripped of the IBF title because he was unable to fight mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov.
Fury, who has admitted he has been taking cocaine to help him deal with depression, relinquished his remaining two belts on Wednesday.
But it hasn't always been this way.
1. Envelope dropping through a letter box: That's how low-tech exam results used to be. No hugging, leaping, mass hysteria. No selfies, Tweets or Snapchats. People got their results often without going to school. The nearest thing to shared emotion was a few gruff words in the local under-age drinking pub, the Jam playing on a jukebox in the background.
Fast forward to the present and it's a storm of instant statistics, social media sharing and wall-to-wall coverage. There will be the first university admission figures, like the early results from a general election, followed by the ups and downs of this year's grades. As well as going into school to get results, pupils will be finding out their grades in every form of technology imaginable. Almost immediately universities will have their fingers on the send button to chase potential recruits.
2. Everything is public: There is no such thing as private grief in the digital glare of social media. Whether it's sharing results with friends on Instagram or parents emoting out loud on Facebook, the drama is played out in public. Teenagers have been messaging each other, building up the tension. There is no hiding place and it is tough for those with disappointing results. Social media has transformed the day into a shared event.
3. How exams were graded really was different: When Advanced levels were introduced in the early 1950s, there were only two outcomes, pass or fail. These were qualifications for a small top slice of the year group. Grades were introduced in the 1960s, with a fixed quota for each band. So the top 10% achieved an A grade, and then the next 15% a B grade and so on. It meant that even if the entire year group made more progress, the proportion of grades would remain the same. This system stayed in place until the mid-1980s.
4. Read all about it: Or in fact, you probably didn't, because under the previous system the national exam results were always the same. It's not much of a headline: "A-level results identical again."
When national results were no longer fixed quotas, it became more of a story - or more often a stick to beat the education system. Not much improvement was seen as standards stagnating. Too much improvement was labelled as "grade inflation". From one in 10 achieving an A grade in the early 1980s, one in four were getting top grades by the end of the 1990s.
It became a political event too. And when A-levels went wrong there was a price to pay. Grading problems in 2002 saw the exam chief losing his job and ultimately led to the resignation of Education Secretary Estelle Morris.
5. League table pressure: When the parents of today's A-level students were getting their results there were no league tables. Grades were not ammunition in a battle to perform better than other schools. Part of the ramping up of Results Day is that the stakes are much higher for schools. State and private schools and academy chains need to push up grades and want to publicise their successes, putting good news on to websites and press releases. Results Day has become a public showroom.
6. Advertising blizzard: Students are being targeted in a way that is entirely different from a generation ago. Universities are competing for students and their tuition fees and the weeks around the publication of results have become a marketing battleground. Websites, billboards, backs of buses are now carrying pitches for university courses. Every kind of digital marketing ploy will be aimed at potential recruits.
7. Screen agers: Getting information about universities is now shaped around the needs of the screen-age teenager. It used to be a black-and-white, printed prospectus, where the nearest thing to multimedia was a picture of three spaced-out students in cheesecloth sitting under a tree. But now universities are open in every way, whether it's online chatrooms or, in the case of the University of Greenwich, advice by Skype for students who might be away on holiday.
8. Big numbers: Another huge difference is the increase in numbers of people taking A-levels and waiting to hear about university places. In the early 1980s only about one in 10 students achieved three A-levels. Now it's a much more mainstream event. The expansion in A-levels has gone hand in hand with the expansion in higher education. More students will begin university courses this autumn than were getting five good GCSEs two decades ago.
9. Headline act: A-level results have become a news event, but are rising results good news or bad news? An academic study of media coverage of A-level results included some classic headlines from 2003: "On a joyous day, dissenting note from an ex-examiner: We're all deluding ourselves," said the Daily Mail. "A-levels will be a success when more pupils fail," said the Sunday Times. But the Guardian questioned: "Where is the proof of a fall in standards?"
10. Results day rituals: Exam results day has developed its own mid-summer rituals. The most famous has been the front-page pictures of blonde female students leaping in celebration. It had become such a widely-mocked cliche that last year The Times published its own ironic version on its front cover with four leaping boys showing their midriffs. Expect stories about high-achieving twins, youngsters overcoming adversity and pictures of people shouting into mobile phones.
Two Poles were attacked on Sunday, just hours after a march and vigil to honour Arek Jozwik, who died after an attack in the same town of Harlow.
Both attacks are being treated as "a potential hate crimes", said Essex Police Commissioner Roger Hirst.
The Polish government said it was "concerned about the safety of Poles".

Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski and Home Affairs Minister Mariusz BÅ‚aszczak will meet British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Home Secretary Amber Rudd later.
A statement said: "In the past weeks, the Polish community have experienced numerous xenophobic incidents. Polish consuls intervened 15 times.
"(The) most serious cases included arson, physical assault, hateful graffiti and intimidation."
The Polish consulate is in "direct contact" with Essex Police, the Polish government said.
The attack caused a blackout for 80,000 customers of western Ukraine's Prykarpattyaoblenergo utility.
Experts have described the incident as the first known power outage caused by a cyber attack.
Ukraine's state security service has attributed the attack to state-sponsored hackers from Russia.
DHS said the "BlackEnergy Malware" used in the attack appears to have infected Ukraine's systems via a corrupted Microsoft Word attachment.
The same code was detected in 2014 within systems at US facilities but there was no known successful disruption to the US grid.
There are lots of sophisticated ways that hackers can break into systems but often the most effective ones are the simplest. Spear-phishing is a highly targeted attack aimed at specific individuals or groups within an organisation and it works because it is trading on human curiosity and vulnerability - simply asking someone to open an email.
That email, once opened, will either contain an attachment or a link to a website - which may appear perfectly legitimate but will in fact contain malware.
Often the hacker may have personal information about the target to make the email more believable - it may refer to the target by name for example.
The malware allows the computer to be taken over remotely. The user may be none the wiser - often hackers provide a decoy document that will hide any malicious activity.
Crimea, the region annexed from Ukraine by Russia, has suffered repeated power cuts since Russia seized the territory in March last year. Russia has blamed pro-Ukraine saboteurs for the outages.
Independent analysts have linked the recent spear-phishing attack to Russia. iSight Partners, a US security firm, said the probable culprit was the so-called "Sandworm Team", a Russian hacking group it has been tracking for more than a year.
"We have linked Sandworm Team to the incident, principally based on BlackEnergy 3, the malware that has become their calling card," John Hultquist, director of cyber espionage analysis at iSight Partners, said in a blog post.
A report released by Washington-based SANS Inc over the weekend concluded hackers had probably caused Ukraine's six-hour outage by remotely switching breakers in a way that cut power
The attackers are also believed to have spammed the Ukrainian utility's customer-service centre with phone calls in order to prevent real customers from highlighting the issue.
Hudson's Bay, which operates department store chain Lord & Taylor in the US, said the acquisition would allow it to establish Saks in Canada.
Hudson's Bay, which also runs 90 Canadian department stores, will pay $16 a share for Saks and will also take on some debt.
Both boards have agreed to the deal.
However, Saks shareholders still need to approve the merger.
Saks chairman and chief executive officer Steve Sadove said the transaction offered "compelling value" for shareholders.
"The $16 per share price represents an approximate 30% premium to the 20 May 2013 closing price, the day before media speculation began," he added.
Hudson's Bay, which also operates Canadian homestore chain Home Outfitters, said it would continue to operate Saks as a separate brand, and that it would still be led by key members of its existing management team.
"Saks will remain headquartered in New York City," it added in a statement.
Hudson's Bay said it expected to save $100m Canadian dollars (£63.3m) in annual synergies within three years of the merger, which is expected to complete before the end of the year.
Angus Carpenter, 62, has played the Scottish instrument in Liverpool city centre for more than 30 years, usually dressed in kilt and piper's regalia.
Liverpool Crown Court heard he gave the impression he was collecting for charity three times in 2015.
He denied three charges of fraud and told the court he was busking.
Sgt Chris Gaynor told the court Mr Carpenter was spotted by police on three occasions in 2015, each time giving the impression he was collecting cash for charity.
On one occasion his collecting bucket was adorned with stickers resembling the Help for Heroes logo and the other two with a Hillsborough Justice Campaign banner draped on his bagpipes.
Passers-by would have assumed he was collecting on behalf of those organisations, the court heard.
Mr Carpenter said he has piped for charity in the past but on these occasions he was busking.
The court heard Kenneth Derbyshire, chairman of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, said he had given Mr Carpenter permission to design and display a banner featuring the eternal flame and the word justice.
But he said he had made it clear to Mr Carpenter he was not use it to collect funds for the charity.
Mr Carpenter told the court the banner was a tribute to the victims not an attempt to deceive anyone.
He told the court he was a busker who made money from performing on the streets and he never intended to give the impression he was raising money for charity.
On occasions when he did fundraise, he said, he always insisted that representatives from the relevant charities collected the cash.
The trial continues.
Scientists calculated individuals carrying this extra weight could contribute to more than 12,000 cases of cancer in the UK population every year.
They warn if obesity levels continue to rise there may be an additional 3,700 cancers diagnosed annually.
The study of five million people is the largest to date to confirm the link.
Doctors often warn being overweight can increase the risk of developing cancer, but this study highlights those forms of the disease where the risk is greatest.
Led by scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine researchers gathered data on five million people living in the UK, monitoring changes to their health over a period of seven years.
They found each 13-16kg (2-2.5 stone) of extra weight an average adult gained was linked firmly and linearly to a greater risk of six cancers.
How big this risk was varied depending on tumour type.
People who had a high body mass index (calculated using weight and height) were also more likely to develop cancer of the liver, colon, ovaries, and post-menopausal breast cancer.
But the effects for these cancers were less clear-cut and were influenced by individual factors such as the menopause.
Researchers say though obesity was associated with the development of the most common cancers - which represent 90% of the cancers diagnosed in the UK, some showed no link at all.
And there is some evidence to suggest a higher BMI is associated with a lower chance of getting prostate cancer.
Dr Krishnan Bhaskaran, who led the research, said: "There was a lot of variation in the effect of BMI on different cancers.
"For example, risk of cancer of the uterus increased substantially at higher body mass index, for other cancer we saw a more modest increase in risk or no effect at all.
"This variation tells us BMI must affect cancer risk through a number of different processes, depending on cancer type"
Tom Stansfeld, at Cancer Research UK, said: "Although the relationship between cancer and obesity is complex, it is clear carrying excess weight increases your risk of developing cancer.
"Keeping a healthy weight reduces cancer risk and the best way to do this is through eating a healthy, balanced diet and exercising regularly."
The 25-year-old, who had earlier finished fourth in the slopestyle, landed two triple corks to take top spot from Sweden's Henrik Harlaut on countback after both men scored 88.
Snowboarding big air will be making its Olympic debut next year in Pyeongchang.
Woods' compatriot Katie Ormerod had earlier won bronze in the women's snowboard slopestyle behind American pair Julie Marino and Jamie Anderson.
It emerged from over 40 years of Communist rule in 1990, and was the first former Eastern Bloc state to acquire the status of a developed economy. It joined the European Union in 2004.
Communist rule had lasted since 1948, when the restored pre-war democratic system was overthrown in a Soviet-backed coup. The "Prague Spring" of 1968, when Communist leader Alexander Dubcek tried to bring in liberal reforms, was crushed by Warsaw Pact tanks.
In 1989, as the curtain was coming down on communism in the Kremlin, the dissident playwright Vaclav Havel emerged as the figurehead of the country's "velvet revolution" and became the first president of post-communist Czechoslovakia.

President: Milos Zeman
Former prime minister Milos Zeman won the first direct Czech presidential election in January 2013, beating conservative Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg by a margin of 55% to 45%.
Like his predecessor, Vaclav Klaus, Mr Zeman thrives on confrontation and has not hesitated to exercise his presidential authority, even when this has meant entering into conflict with the Czech government.
He has irked many people - both within the country and among the Czech Republic's western allies - by defending Russia's stance on Ukraine and by voicing opposition to the western sanctions against Russia.
Prime Minister: Bohuslav Sobotka
Social Democratic party leader Bohuslav Sobotka heads a coalition formed after a 2013 snap election triggered by the fall of the centre-right government of Petr Necas over a spying, sex and bribery scandal earlier in the year.
On his appointment, Mr Sobotka pledged to end the political gridlock that had paralysed policy making for seven months and revive economic growth following the country's longest recession on record.
He promised to boost the economy by reversing the former centre-right government's austerity measures.
Private radio and TV stations provide stiff competition for their public rivals.
Public broadcaster Ceska Televize (CT) operates two TV networks and a 24-hour news channel. Public radio, Cesky Rozhlas (CRo), operates three national networks and local services.
Leading private TV channels Nova and Prima are foreign-owned and broadcast nationally. There are scores of privately-owned radio stations, including market leaders Impuls and Frekvence 1. BBC World Service is available on FM in many cities and towns.

Overton, who allegedly also told 34-year-old Zaidi to "get back to your own country", received a two-game ban.
Zaidi did not hear the alleged comments which were reported by non-striker Michael Vardy and umpire Alex Wharf.
Overton has denied the claims but Zaidi said: "For the sake of the game he should apologise to me."
Somerset have said the player, along with the county's officials, had written an apology to Sussex and it was accepted.
The 21-year-old, who has been part of England's one-day squad and came close to selection for the winter Test tour to South Africa, was found guilty of a level one offence for abusive language.
It was Overton's third offence of the season and took him to over nine penalty points, meaning an automatic two-game suspension was imposed.
However, Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale received a four-match suspension for a similar offence in 2014. Gale was also stopped from lifting the Championship trophy.
The England and Wales Cricket Board have defended their handling of the case.
"I am not in a position to say whether he was treated leniently but I am sure he could have had a harsher punishment," Zaidi told the Daily Telegraph.
Zaidi was released by Sussex at the end of the season.
Commons Treasury committee chairman Andrew Tyrie said the leak may have "damaged consumer confidence".
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said on Friday it would probe the sale of 30 million policies worth £150bn.
It will examine how the news leaked, hitting shares in insurance firms.
The inquiry will look at pensions, endowments, investment bonds and life assurance policies sold in the UK between the 1970s and 2000.
The FCA had been due to announce the probe in its annual business plan on Monday, but details were revealed ahead of schedule by The Daily Telegraph.
Otto Thoreson, director general of the Association of British Insurers, said the story had caused "absolute confusion in the investment markets".
Mr Tyrie said: "On the face of it, this is an extraordinary blunder.
"It is crucial that we have a full and transparent explanation about how such an apparently serious mistake came to be made by our financial services watchdog - the body appointed by Parliament to enforce high standards of conduct.
"The principle that market sensitive information is released accurately to all participants at the same time appears to have been breached."
Mr Thoreson told the BBC: "What happened was effectively a pre-briefing of a business plan which is going to be published on Monday."
"But because it was to one newspaper, and it was written up as a story without the ability of those of us who are involved in the industry to corroborate issues, what you saw was the uncertainty that was created causing absolute confusion in the investment markets."
Later on Friday the FCA issued a statement in response to concerns about how it had handled the release of the news about its investigation.
"The Board will conduct an investigation into the FCA's handling of the issue involving an external law firm, and will share the outcome of this work in due course," it said.
Legal & General, Aviva and Resolution - which owns Friends Provident - were among the biggest fallers on the FTSE 100, just days after share prices were hit by George Osborne's plans for an overhaul of the UK's pension system and a cap on pension management fees.
Formally announcing the inquiry into old policies on Friday, the FCA said it was concerned that some companies were not giving the same priority to policies sold years ago as they did to new policies.
A large number of policies sold to consumers in the 30 years to 2000 include terms that penalise those attempting to switch to a cheaper provider.
Some savers face losing up to half of their savings if they move to another company.
The FCA also said it feared "zombie" funds, which are closed to new clients, were being used by insurers to pay bills from other parts of their businesses.
Details of the inquiry will be officially published on Monday.
But concerns that will be covered include:
The financial services industry has been scarred by several high-profile scandals during the past few decades involving the mis-selling of policies such as mortgage endowments, personal pensions and payment protection insurance.
Millions of endowment policies were sold in the 1980s and 1990s, typically as a method of repaying mortgages, often with unsubstantiated claims that they were guaranteed to pay off the customers' home loan. Millions of pounds were subsequently paid in compensation.
Those campaigning for political change are monitored and are often out of bounds. So too are the leaders of unofficial churches.
But you would not perhaps think that the parents of dead children, killed in one of the most destructive earthquakes on record, would be treated in the same way. Yet they are.
This Sunday will mark the fifth anniversary of the deaths of Zhao Yaqi and Zhao Yajia, the 15-year-old twin daughters of Zhao Deqin.
They were killed when their school building collapsed, just two of the more than 5,000 young lives taken in the same way by the Sichuan earthquake.
It struck at 14:28, when classrooms across the province were full.
To meet Ms Zhao, we had to use an unregistered mobile phone to call an intermediary. We then met that intermediary at a train station before being escorted to Ms Zhao's home.
Our interview was conducted amid the fear that it could be interrupted at any time.
"It's like being treated as a spy," she said. "I've never intended to seek trouble with the government or acted against it. I simply miss my daughters, but I've been beaten up. What kind of life are we living?"
The Sichuan earthquake left up to 90,000 people dead and millions homeless.
But it was the collapse of so many school buildings that mixed anger and recrimination into the grief.
Ms Zhao says she wants a full, public investigation into whether shoddy construction was partly to blame.
These demands, as well as her claims that she has not received the promised compensation, have brought her close attention from the authorities.
And she is not alone. We exchanged messages with one mother who said her water and electricity have been cut off for more than two weeks in the run-up to this anniversary.
And in the town of Juyuan, we met a man who lost a daughter in the same school as Ms Zhao's children.
He pointed to a man standing outside his home, stationed there to watch him, he said.
So we decided to move on, but shortly afterwards we were intercepted by the police and taken to a government office.
They told us that if we wanted to speak to families, they would choose them for us. For an hour we tried to convince them to let us continue, but they were insistent.
"The families don't want to dwell on the past," they said. The foreign media should focus on the recovery and reconstruction.
And so our guided tour began. We were taken to see some of the hundreds of thousands of new homes that have been built.
And we were introduced to people like Tang Fuying in the town of Cui Yuehu, who seemed genuinely grateful for the help they received, regardless of the constant presence of the officials lurking in the background.
"This house is much better than the one destroyed in the earthquake," Ms Tang said. "I used to have to burn grasses to cook, but now I just turn on the gas."
That the reconstruction effort has been extensive is beyond dispute.
Millions of tonnes of concrete have been poured into the new roads and bridges and apartments, as well as 3,000 new schools.
The town of Beichuan, one of the worst affected, has been completely rebuilt a short drive away down the valley.
It is a modern, comfortable development, with residents playing ping-pong outside in the warm Sichuan evening.
But their old town has been preserved, left as it was after the earthquake, as a memorial.
Visitors can still see the twisted, buckled streets and the piles of rubble that used to be offices and residential tower blocks.
Some are leaning at seemingly impossible angles, and in parts where the external walls have been destroyed, you can see inside.
There is a bed and a table left in a rubble-strewn room, and a school desk on a now sloping floor, just as they were on 12 May 2008.
The town, under the fluttering national flag, is also a symbol of how the Communist Party would like the earthquake to be remembered, as a victory of resilience over adversity.
That it was an overwhelming force of nature is of course beyond dispute.
But the idea that human culpability may have also played a role in the collapse of so many public buildings, especially schools, is still seen as dangerously subversive.
"It is like the sky has fallen down," Zhao Deqin says. "My husband still dreams about our daughters every night and wakes up in tears."
She wants to know for certain whether anyone is responsible for their deaths.
And whatever the answer to that question, one thing is clear. Her story is one that China still does not want the world to hear.
Geraldine Oakley said as her relationship with Malcolm Webster developed she began to suspect he may have killed his wife, Claire Morris.
Mr Webster denies murdering Ms Morris by intentionally crashing their car in Aberdeenshire and setting it on fire.
He also denies fraudulently obtaining insurance policies after his wife died.
Ms Oakley told the High Court in Glasgow she first met Mr Webster, from Guildford in Surrey, in 1993 or 1994, when she was a computer manager at NHS Grampian.
The jury was told they were friends prior to Ms Morris's death in the crash on Kingoodie's Auchenhuive to Tarves Road.
Ms Oakley was on holiday when it happened and said the first she became aware of it when she met Mr Webster, who was wearing a medical collar round his neck.
She said: "He put his hands over mine and said there had been an accident and Claire had died. I told him to call me if he needed to talk."
The court heard the pair went out for coffee and Mr Webster invited Ms Oakley to his home near Oldmeldrum.
Prosecutor Derek Ogg QC asked Ms Oakley: "Did it seem there was a relationship in the offing?" She replied: "Malcolm seemed keen to progress the relationship."
She told the court that on 3 September, 1994 - the anniversary of his wedding to Ms Morris - Mr Webster phoned her saying he did not want to be alone, and she invited him to her home near Cruden Bay.
Ms Oakley said: "He [Malcolm Webster] was entertaining. He made a joke and we ended up kissing."
She added: "He ended up staying the night with me in my room."
The 50-year-old said she became worried when Mr Webster began to question her about whether a second autopsy was to be carried out on Ms Morris.
In a statement to police, she said: "Malcolm was obsessed by this at the time and I considered speaking to consultant pathologist Dr James Grieve, but I never did."
Mr Ogg asked: "What was your conversation going to be about?" Ms Oakley said: "I thought that Malcolm might have killed his wife."
The court heard their sexual relationship was kept secret.
Ms Oakley will be cross-examined by defence QC Edgar Prais on Monday as the trial is not sitting on Friday.
The court also heard from crash reconstruction expert Stephen Jowitt, who had previously said he believed it was "highly likely" the crash was staged.
He was asked by Mr Prais: "You were working from photographs and witnesses statements?"
Mr Jowitt replied: "Yes. My conclusions stand and fall by these."
Mr Prais then put it to Mr Jowitt that few people were able to give accurate indications of either time or distance and he agreed with this.
Mr Webster also denies trying to kill his second wife Felicity Drumm in New Zealand in 1999, to cash in on their life insurance
He is also alleged to have formed a fraudulent scheme between 2004 and 2008 to enter into a bigamous marriage with Simone Banerjee to get access to her estate in Oban, which he denies.
The trial, before judge Lord Bannatyne, continues on Monday.
The Lionesses made a dream start with two goals in three minutes as Jodie Taylor, making her first World Cup start nine weeks after knee surgery, capitalised on Lauren Sesselmann's blunder.
Lucy Bronze then headed in Fara Williams' free-kick to double the advantage.
England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley continued her mixed World Cup when she gifted Christine Sinclair a goal three minutes before the break.
But in a second half in which Mark Sampson's side became disjointed, England held on for a famous win that sparked joyous celebrations at the final whistle.
England had already broken new ground by winning their first World Cup knockout game in the last 16, when they beat Norway.
But the result means Welshman Sampson has guided a senior England side, men's or women's, to a World Cup semi-final for the first time since 1990.
As in their final group game win over Colombia, England started fast and then dug deep to keep Canada out as they matched the victory they inflicted over John Herdman's side in this year's Cyprus Cup.
Although they did not reach the heights of their second-round win over Norway, they will now travel to Edmonton to face a team they beat in the group stages of the last World Cup before Japan went on to lift the trophy.
England's preparations were disrupted shortly before the game when vice-captain Jordan Nobbs posted an update on social media to say her World Cup was over because of a hamstring injury - although the Football Association denied the story was true.
But it had little effect on England, as 29-year-old Taylor showed signs of her growing status just 10 months after making her debut by robbing Sesselmann and drilling low past hosts' goalkeeper Erin McLeod for her first World Cup goal.
The nightmare continued for Canada when England won a free-kick deep in Canadian territory.
Williams picked out Bronze at the back post, and the right-back managed to loop her header over McLeod and in off the crossbar.
England's goals came against the run of play - Melissa Tancredi guilty of being wasteful for Canada - and Katie Chapman almost added to England's tally when her header clipped the top of the crossbar.
Sinclair was then presented with a chance to get Canada back in the match when Bardsley, who was also at fault when she conceded late on against Mexico, could not gather Ashley Lawrence's centre and Canada's record goalscorer converted from close range.
Bardsley's game came to a premature end when she departed five minutes into the second half with what looked like a swollen eye and was replaced by Siobhan Chamberlain.

But it did not disrupt England.
Taylor was denied a second when McLeod brilliantly tipped her curling effort wide.
With the game becoming scrappy, it felt like another England mistake might lead to a Canada equaliser.
But after Sophie Schmidt fired over seven minutes from the end, the Lionesses remained resolute and roared wildly as the hosts were eliminated in front of 54,027 fans.
Seven soldiers died on Thursday when their patrol was hit near the Line of Control, the de facto border with Pakistan. Rescuers found four more bodies on Friday morning.
In a separate incident, a nearby army post was buried by snow, killing three soldiers.
Indian and Pakistani troops die in Kashmir avalanches most winters.
Heavy snow has caused chaos across the region, blocking roads and railways.
The two avalanches that killed the soldiers happened in the remote Gurez area.
Seven soldiers were saved but army spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia told reporters that bad weather, including heavy snowfall, had hampered rescue efforts.
The AFP news agency quoted him as saying that no one else was missing.
On Wednesday, four members of the same family were also killed by snowfall in the same area.
Last year, 10 Indian soldiers were killed in an avalanche on Siachen glacier, the world's highest battlefield.
One of them was rescued after being buried in snow for six days but later died in hospital.
A huge manhunt is underway for Joaquin Guzman, who got out of his cell on Saturday through a 1.5km-long tunnel.
Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong said officials at the prison must have helped his escape.
Three senior prison officials, including the director of the Altiplano jail, have been dismissed.
It has emerged that Guzman fled despite wearing a monitoring bracelet and being subject to 24-hour surveillance.
"There will be no rest for this criminal," said Mr Osorio Chong,
On Monday, he visited the prison and the nearby area for the first time since Guzman's escape.
The interior minister arrived by helicopter at the Altiplano compound, about 90km (55 miles) west of Mexico City, along with a group of congressmen and National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubrido.
Mr Osorio Chong is in charge of the operation in the absence of President Enrique Pena Nieto, who is on a planned visit to France for that country's Bastille Day celebrations on Tuesday.
Security has been reinforced across Mexico. Flights from nearby Toluca airport were suspended and checkpoints have been set up.
Guatemala also increased checks along its northern border with Mexico in response to the news that Guzman had escaped. It was there he was captured in 1993.
Guzman was sent to a top-security jail in Mexico, Puente Grande, but broke out in 2001, reportedly hidden in a laundry cart after bribing officials.
In the following years, he expanded the reach of his organisation, says the BBC's Juan Paullier in Mexico City.
Analysts are warning that the same could happen again, if Guzman's escape triggers conflicts with other cartels keen to protect their patches.
Dozens of prison guards are being questioned at the Altiplano prison to find out how he could escape this time.
Video footage showed Guzman entering the shower area in his cell at 20:52 local time on Saturday (01:52 GMT Sunday).
The tunnel linked the shower area to a house built over the past year across maize fields near the prison.
The tunnel, which measures 1.7m by 70cm, would have allowed Guzman, who is known as El Chapo or Shorty, to comfortably walk upright.
It had ventilation and lights and guards also found a motorcycle which they believe was used to transport earth removed as the tunnel was dug.
Inside the building near the prison, officials found a bed and a kitchen, suggesting those who dug the tunnel could have spent days at a time there.
A calculation based on the height, width and extension of the tunnel estimates that the earth removed would have filled 379 lorries, said Reforma newspaper.
President Pena Nieto called Guzman's escape "an affront to the state" and ordered a full investigation.
Guzman's personal fortune is estimated at $1bn (£640m).
Yeovil chairman John Fry said they may not be able to fund the Ladies if plans to re-develop Huish Park are rejected.
Sherwood sought to reassure fans of the Ladies team's financial independence.
"Sometimes as a little sister, a big brother can say something he didn't mean - this is what a family is like but be rest assured, our destiny is in our own hands," he told BBC Sport.
"Nothing is begged or borrowed from the men's programme. We control our own destiny. No-one else controls it.
"We are an independent club - we have our financial structures, we have our own board. We have our own coaching staff.
"We are very proud to be part of Yeovil Town Football club because it is a massive football club in the south west.
"But I can assure every single one of our fans that our destiny is in our own hands and that's the way it will stay."
Sherwood's side are top of Women's Super League Two with three matches remaining and host promotion-rivals Everton on Sunday.
Medway NHS Foundation Trust has made "substantial improvements", the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said.
Medway Maritime was one of 11 hospitals branded "inadequate" after Sir Bruce Keogh's review of hospitals in 2013.
Previous inspections had highlighted concerns over patient safety, organisation and governance.
BBC South East health correspondent Mark Norman said the hospital had spent 41 months in special measures, rather than the 12 months originally expected.
Live: More on this story and other news from Kent
Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt said: "Some of the problems at Medway were deeply entrenched - which makes the achievement all the greater."
Chief inspector of hospitals, Prof Sir Mike Richards, checked the trust over five days at the end of last year.
In his inspection report, he said: "There is no doubt that substantial improvements have been made. The leadership team is now fully established and there is a strong sense of forward momentum."
As part of addressing its problems, the hospital took up a successful buddying arrangement with Guys' and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, and is now "good" for effectiveness, care and leadership.
It still "requires improvement" for safety and responsiveness.
Lesley Dwyer, chief executive of the trust, said: "I am so pleased the improvements we are all so proud of have been recognised. This is a great tribute to our dedicated staff and the fantastic job they do day in, day out.
"We acknowledge there is, of course, more to do. We have every reason to believe that we can build on this momentum and continue to improve."
When the hospital's chief executive stood up in front of a packed staff canteen and said the words "out of special measures" there were cheers, there was relief and even a few tears of joy.
Four and a half thousand people work for the trust; one of their senior staff told me they have endured four years of being told they were no good at their job.
Yes, the Care Quality Commission has some ongoing concerns, but when I first interviewed Lesley Dwyer almost two years ago she said she thought her biggest difficulty would be engaging the staff and reigniting a sense of believe in them.
She would appear to have done that. The CQC highlighted the "commitments and hard work of the staff" in achieving this turnaround.
There were some elements of "outstanding" practice at the trust, the inspection noted.
The neonatal unit's breast-feeding at discharge rate has soared while a new bereavement suite for families experiencing a still birth, critical care services and the treatment of patients experiencing broken hips were all highly praised.
The CQC is to return to check further improvements have been made.
Its experts say that a new approach is necessary to tackle England's lagging cancer survival rates.
The guidelines suggest all GPs order certain tests directly, side-stepping referrals to specialists first, to speed up access to treatment.
Charities say they support the changes but warn that more funds are needed.
Doctors have long agreed that the sooner most cancers are diagnosed, the greater the chance of survival.
But according to experts from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE), although the situation is improving, thousands of lives are lost each year because tumours are being diagnosed too late.
The new guidelines make wide-ranging changes to previous recommendations, to encourage GPs to think of cancer sooner and lower the threshold at which people are given cancer tests.
For the first time the guidance focuses on key symptoms, rather than encouraging GPs to consider first which cancer a patient may have and then to cross check it with the symptoms.
The recommendations also say all GPs across England should be able to order some cancer tests directly, without waiting for an appointment with a specialist.
For example in certain cases, GPs will now be able to access CT scans and internal examinations such as endoscopies, without a specialist referral.
NICE hopes this will allow patients to get investigations more quickly and take the pressure off specialists' time.
The committee has produced information to help patients spot the most common signs of cancer so they can seek medical advice quickly.
And the guidance encourages doctors to put "safety nets" in place to ensure difficult cases are not missed.
Patients whose symptoms are worrying but do not currently suggest cancer, for example, should be given follow-up appointments or advice on when to come back.
Professor Mark Baker of NICE told the BBC the new policy would save a "tangible number" of lives.
"Throughout the history of European cancer statistics Britain has lagged behind the best European countries," he said.
"The main reason for that is that people tend to present with a cancer at a more advanced stage.
"This guideline specifically addresses that shortfall. We estimate it will [save] about 5,000 lives a year," he added.
Sara Hiom, from Cancer Research UK, said: "We know the strain the NHS is already under and the number of people diagnosed with cancer is increasing - further investment is essential in order to support this much needed shift in investigative testing. "
She added: "Research would indicate we do fewer diagnostic tests in this country than comparable countries, but there are a lack of workforce, perhaps a lack of kit, to do those tests, so patients may be missing out because there are delays, backlogs or bottlenecks and this really does need to be addressed."
NICE has produced its guidelines for England. They will also be taken into account in Wales and Northern Ireland.

The two groups are normally at odds on policy, but both agree that the rail project is a bad use of public money, and likely to over-run its budget.
The projected price for HS2 is £56bn, but the Taxpayers' Alliance speculates that the final cost could reach £90bn.
The government says the line is needed to increase network capacity - and insists it will be built on budget.
The first phase of the railway is due to open in December 2026, with trains to travel at high speed between London and Birmingham before continuing on the existing West Coast Main Line.
The Department for Transport says the project will cut Birmingham-London journey times from 1hr 21min to 49min.
MPs are expected to give the scheme the final seal of approval this week when it returns to the Commons from the Lords.
But the libertarian lobby group says government-managed large infrastructure projects have a poor record of being delivered on budget, with one project in the USA overrunning by 190%.
In the UK, the Jubilee line extension was forecast to cost £2.1 billion, but the bill rose to £3.5bn, partly because of huge cost overruns during construction. Channel Tunnel costs swelled by 80%.
John O'Connell, chief executive of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: "All the evidence shows that big government projects are delivered way over budget and almost never to deadline, so to allocate tens of billions of taxpayers' money to this white elephant is a big mistake."
In a 2014 paper, Bent Flyvbjerg, Professor of Major Programme Management at Oxford University, laid out what he called the iron law of megaprojects: "Over budget, over time, over and over again."
Friends of the Earth, who support high-speed rail when it diverts people from flying, say HS2 is the wrong scheme.
They complain it doesn't join up to HS1 - the line that joins London to the continent - so doesn't provide the possibility of getting on a train in the North and getting off in Brussels or Paris.
Craig Bennett, FoE's director, told BBC News: "We think the money would be much better spent on a range of much smaller sustainable transport infrastructure projects to deliver real improvements to regular commuters and other train travellers over a far quicker timescale."
"Big infrastructure rarely delivers on its promises. That's why we think Hinkley C nuclear station is also a waste of money.
"For the Hinkley subsidy, you could fund the mother of all national energy efficiency retrofit programmes for millions of homes. That would deliver carbon savings far quicker, would make a real improvement to peoples' lives."
The former Chancellor George Osborne kick-started the drive towards major projects as a way of creating jobs. HS2 is widely supported by councils in the North of England and has received backing by MPs across the parties.
The Department for Transport said: "HS2 will become the backbone of our national rail network - creating more seats for passengers, supporting growth and regeneration and helping us build an economy that works for all.
"We are keeping a tough grip on costs and the project is on time and on budget at £55.7bn."

Next week Pink Floyd release their new album The Endless River in a bid to kick start the winter sales figures for the industry during its busiest period.
But with digital downloads and streaming, how far can so-called "Dad Rock" go towards boosting those album sales figures over Christmas?
Mike Peters, lead singer of Welsh rock band The Alarm, looked to expose music industry ageism in 2004 when the group recorded a comeback single.
But he recruited a young local band to release it under the name of The Poppyfields and it entered the charts at number 24.
It also inspired a recent film called Vinyl, starring Keith Allen.
Peters was asked by BBC Radio Wales' Oliver Hides if it was easier making music when he started 30 years ago. | Against a backdrop of record low album sales the music industry has been coming to terms with the changing way we buy music for quite some time. | 29,847,954 | 189 | 31 | false |

Kris Boyd's double helped Clark to his first victory since taking over as Kilmarnock boss.
"When we got a little bit of luck in the final third we won the game, which we have been threatening to do for a few weeks now," said Clark.
"We have not had the luck and I thought it was going to go against us again when Kris Boyd hit the post."

Despite bottom club Dundee United losing, Clark would not be drawn on whether or not the spectre of automatic relegation was now unlikely for the Rugby Park side. Instead he is focused on escaping the bottom two places.
"I won't change my tune," Clark told BBC Scotland. "What other teams do we can't affect until we play against them, so we just have to concentrate on our results.
"Five huge games coming up now from the split and it is in our hands because if we beat the teams in and around us it gives us an opportunity to get above them and get out of the position we are in."
It was a second straight defeat for St Johnstone, but manager Tommy Wright felt the scoreline was harsh on his players.
"If you look at the scoreline, you would think we have been battered," he said. "That has not been the case.
"We started the game well, were in total control, had the crowd going at them a little bit. They put one decent ball into the box and nearly scored off it. That gave them a lift and for five minutes we lost our way and conceded a goal in that period."
Despite the defeat St Johnstone will finish the season once again in the top six, and Wright says his players deserve praise for their overall performances over the course of the season.
"When you look at what we have done this year, the players have a lot to be proud of," he said.
"[We] sold one of our best players [Michael O'Halloran to Rangers] as well in the middle of it and we have dealt with everything that has been thrown at us. We will recover and hopefully go again in the split, fourth place is very much up for grabs."
It could have triggered a rapid phase of global warming linked to the expansion of mammal groups during the Eocene time period.
Writing in the journal Science, a team of American researchers outlines new evidence for the theory.
They found spherical fragments of glass thought to form when molten debris flung out by an impact solidifies in mid-air.
But the team's interpretation remains controversial with other experts.
Space impacts have had profound effects on Earth's ecosystems. For example, an asteroid which slammed into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula 66 million years ago was responsible for wiping out the dinosaurs.
Dennis Kent, from Rutgers University, a co-author of the new study, thinks the glass found in sediment cores drilled along the New Jersey coast could have come from a 10km-wide comet slamming into the Atlantic Ocean.
This could be behind the mysterious release of CO2, and other greenhouse gases, which warmed the planet very rapidly 55.6 million years ago. During this event, global temperatures rose by about 6C in less than 1,000 years.
"It got warm in a hurry. This suggests where it came from," said Prof Kent.
The warm period, known as the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), is often compared to today's rapid human-induced climate change. It is recorded as an injection of an "isotopically light" form of the element carbon into the Earth's system.
This spike in temperature closely coincides with the dispersal of mammal groups to new parts of the world, and their diversification into three groups that are still with us today.
These are the Artiodactyla, the Perissodactyla and the Primates - the mammalian order that includes humans. Modern Artiodactyls include sheep, pigs, camels and giraffes, while today's Perissodactyls include horses, tapirs, rhinos and zebras.
The drivers behind this rapid phase of mammal evolution are not completely understood. But the planet became essentially ice-free during the PETM, with sea levels that were dramatically higher than now. Many small, single-celled ocean-bottom creatures became extinct.
But on land, the mammals adapted by moving their ranges towards the poles, which would have opened up new opportunities for them.
Mainstream theories suggest the global warming phase, which lasted about 200,000 years, was caused by sources closer to home - such as volcanism.
But the authors of the Science study identified an interesting mineral within the glassy spherules known as microtektites. This mineral, called lechatelierite, "forms at really high temperatures - about 1,700C", said Prof Kent.
The presence of this mineral is hard to explain without a highly energetic event such as an impact. Volcanic magma, for example, has much lower temperatures.
A second line of evidence comes from the discovery of grains of shocked quartz in one of the spherules. These "shocked grains" occur when the mineral quartz is knocked out of shape under the kind of intense pressure produced by a cosmic collision. But pressures in a volcano are not sufficient to produce these grains.
But Prof Christian Koeberl, an impact specialist at the University of Vienna who was not involved with the study, noted that the identification of shocked quartz had been made using a technique known as Raman spectrometry.
He told the BBC News website: "This is not a standard method to identify shocked quartz, so maybe it is, maybe not."
Dennis Kent first floated the comet idea in a 2003 study published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
He based his argument on magnetised clay particles found in New Jersey that he said could have been altered by space impact. However, many colleagues were unconvinced by his hypothesis.
The discovery of the glassy spherules, reported in Science, provides additional evidence favouring the comet theory, according to Prof Kent.
"The glassy spherules don't demand a comet, rather than an asteroid, but the idea is attractive because of the increase in isotopically light carbon which acts as a greenhouse gas," he told the BBC News website.
"About a fifth of comets by mass is carbon... there are also indications from spectral analyses of comets in the Solar System that this carbon tends to be on the isotopically light side."
The dinosaur-killing impact 66 million years ago - almost certainly caused by an asteroid - left a pronounced layer of the element iridium in rocks far from the crater site.
Iridium is rare on Earth but common in asteroids. However, the impact of a comet - with less rock and more ice than an asteroid - could explain why scientists have not found a significant iridium layer at the Palaeocene-Eocene boundary.
In addition, "comets come from the outer reaches of the Solar System, so their impact velocity is something like three times faster than an asteroid's", said Prof Kent.
This high speed impact may act to dilute the iridium present in the space object. And an impact into the ocean may explain why no crater has yet been discovered.
Prof Koeberl told the BBC News website that the spherule evidence "indicates that an impact event may have occurred at that time - but only if the spherules are really unambiguously of [Palaeocene-Eocene] age.
"The information given so far is not conclusive on this point - it is not impossible that the spherules are derived from another stratigraphic layer (I hope contamination can be excluded, which is not uncommon either - spherules have been found in many strange locations). So age dating would be helpful."
He added: "What I am also noting is that the spherules are very small and very rare... this indicates either a far-away source (but the limited size range is still unusual) or a rather small impact event.
"Both options do not indicate a major influence on the Earth's climate. Even much larger events... have had no severe or discernible influence on the climate. In this respect I think any suggestion that an impact event caused the PETM is not supported by the data."

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the men, one of them 17, appeared to have been smuggled to Europe through some of the same channels.
They were detained after a series of pre-dawn raids in the states of Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony.
They are said to have travelled through Turkey and Greece on false passports.
They have been named only as Mahir al-H, 17, Ibrahim M, 18, and Mohamed A, 26.
Investigations so far suggest the three came to Germany in November 2015 with the intention of "carrying out a previously determined order [from IS] or to await further instructions", prosecutors said in a statement.
The Federal Public Prosecutor's office has said no concrete missions or orders have so far been found, despite the seizure of "extensive material".
Mr de Maiziere said those arrested could have constituted a "sleeper cell" - a unit of people who remain dormant and inconspicuous in a community until activated.
The suspects were arrested when 200 police and security officers raided six locations, including three refugee shelters.
The 17-year-old had been trained in handling weapons and explosives in Raqqa, IS's stronghold in Syria, prosecutors said.
They received fake passports, mobile phones loaded with a pre-installed communication programme and four-figure cash sums in US dollars.
At a news conference, Mr de Maiziere said they were trafficked into Europe by the same organisation that supported the three men who blew themselves up outside the Stade de France national football stadium in Paris on 13 November last year.
A bystander also died - one of the total of 130 people killed in a series of co-ordinated attacks that night.
Paris attacks: Who were the attackers?
"Everything points to the fact that the same smuggler organisation behind the Paris attacks also brought the three men to Germany who were arrested," Mr de Maiziere said. "Indications are that their travel documents all came from the same workshop in that region."
That showed that Western nations faced the same "shared threat" and thus "shared interests in the averting that threat" through security co-operation.
These arrests come as ministers try to reassure a nervous German public that the arrival of more than a million asylum seekers has not put the country in danger. There is a febrile national debate here around integration and domestic security which will dominate campaigning ahead of next year's general election.
The security services have long suspected that IS is using the refugee crisis to infiltrate Germany. The country's interior minister has now acknowledged that is likely. But he was at pains to point out that the authorities are investigating a relatively small number of suspects among the hundreds of thousands of new arrivals, and to emphasise that the security services investigate every intelligence lead.
The German authorities are no doubt pleased to have broken what they are describing as a sleeper cell. But the arrests will most likely simply increase public concern.
Mr de Maiziere said the men had been under observation for months.
But he also cautioned that the arrests should not raise suspicions against refugees in general.
"We are actually talking about around 60 investigations [into migrants] and that's among many hundreds of thousands of newly arrived people."
The government has been under pressure to reduce the number of refugees it admits - more than a million in 2015 - under Chancellor Angela Merkel's "open-door" policy.
The nation remains uneasy after attacks this summer.
Over one week in July, 10 people were killed and dozens more wounded in separate gun, bomb, axe and machete attacks in the south of the country.
Islamic State appeared to play a role in two of those attacks, by asylum seekers in Wuerzburg and Ansbach. In both cases, the attackers were killed.
In early June, three Syrian men were arrested on suspicion of plotting an IS suicide attack in the western city of Duesseldorf.
The Welsh Affairs Committee session, in Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent, focused on the impact on jobs and industry, aid for poorer areas, the arts and the Welsh language of Brexit.
Chairman David Davies said the sessions would help the MPs decide how to scrutinise the Brexit negotiations.
"It is essential to understand the unique impact on Wales," he said.
In June's referendum a majority of voters in Wales - 52.5% - chose to leave the EU while 47.5% wanted to remain.
Blaenau Gwent saw the strongest vote for Brexit in Wales, with 62% support for Leave.
The meeting attracted people from across south Wales, not just the immediate area.
About 35 people sat down with MPs to talk about their concerns and consider the implications of leaving the European Union.
Freedom of movement was the biggest concern, with strengthening devolution coming second. The committee hopes to put views gathered across Wales to the UK government.
John Selway, from Caerphilly, who voted to remain, said he felt disappointed with the result and had attended the meeting to find out what was happening with Brexit.
The 60-year-old said the referendum had divided his family, and had caused a few heated arguments.
"I feel I have lost some things and people haven't gained anything," he said.
Leave campaigner Blake Stephens, 16, from Chepstow, Monmouthshire, said negativity had to stop and people needed to be reassured about leaving the EU.
He said he thought people had honest concerns about immigration and they needed to be listened to.
Monday's event at Ebbw Vale Institute was staged as part of UK Parliament Week, which seeks to raise awareness of and involvement in democracy.
A similar event is due to take place at Aberystwyth University on 28 November.
Mr Davies, the Conservative MP for Monmouth, said there were still some very difficult views about leaving the EU but there had been "no surprises".
He admitted the representation of local people's views "wasn't perfect", adding the committee needed to be more inventive to get people to the meetings.
"It's difficult to reach out to that section of the population who perhaps feel they haven't been listened to for a long time, and feel if they come to a meeting like this they won't be listened to," he said.
"I can honestly say we are listening to everyone and we are listening to people with widely different views."
Outside the meeting, a number of people in Ebbw Vale said they were not aware of the MPs' visit.
Anne Millard, 62, said she would have attended if she had known, revealing she had voted Leave to get "our country back".
"There's a lot of unemployment here - people can't get any work," she said.
"We have lost the steelworks, some big factories have closed, some local people can't get jobs in some of the factories.
"I don't want someone in Europe telling me how to live my life here."
Her daughter Julie Williams, 43, said the EU money given to the area had not been spent on the right things when services were under threat.
"Some of the things are visually appealing, but they are not necessary," she said.
Caroline Joseph, who runs a cafe and supported remaining in the EU, said: "Perhaps a lot of people didn't go as they felt like 'what's the point'."
Referring to an EU-funded sculpture of a dragon, she added: "They said it's going to regenerate the town - how the hell is a dragon going to regenerate the town?"
Zola had not won in 10 matches in all competitions since replacing Gary Rowett on 14 December.
The Blues took advantage after Ryan Fredericks was sent off for a reckless tackle on Craig Gardner, as Jutkiewicz converted Cheick Keita's cross.
Floyd Ayite had a late chance to salvage a point for Fulham in injury time, but the Togo forward fired wide.
Birmingham had previously picked up just three points from a possible 24 in the Championship under Zola, and the Italian also saw his side exit the FA Cup following a third-round replay against Newcastle.
They should have gone ahead on 19 minutes, but Jutkiewicz saw his header crash against the bar from four yards out.
Fulham rarely troubled home keeper Tomasz Kuszczak, with Chris Martin and Lucas Piazon directing headed efforts narrowly off target after the break.
Defeat at St Andrew's dents the west London club's play-off bid, with Slavisa Jokanovic's side dropping to 10th in the table, six points behind sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday.
City, meanwhile, had fallen out of the promotion picture during Zola's winless start and are now three points behind the Whites in 12th.

Birmingham boss Gianfranco Zola told BBC WM: "The team played with everything today. There was a lot of passion and I'm so proud and delighted with their performance.
"I thought we looked dangerous going forward and had a good balance in defence. We had some moments in which they but us under pressure, but that's normal against a good team like Fulham.
"When you work hard and the results don't come you start doubting yourself, so it was very important to get the win. But this is just the beginning and we can only get better so we need to keep going."
Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic: "It was disappointing but generally we didn't produce our best play. Birmingham were more solid and the sending off of Fredericks killed us.
"I prefer not to make any comment on the sending off but the result was a big setback. Following our recent games we thought we could take the points, but we had problems with their long balls.
"We tried to find a solution after the sending off but I cannot complain about my team as they pushed hard."

The indictment says Matthew Keys gave members of Anonymous a login and password to the company server.
At least one hacker managed to change the web version of a Los Angeles Times news feature, the indictment says.
The alleged incident occurred before Mr Keys' employment with Reuters.
Mr Keys said he only found out about the charges from Twitter.
"Tonight I'm going to take a break. Tomorrow, business as usual," he tweeted.
A Reuters spokesman said in a statement: "Any legal violations, or failures to comply with the company's own strict set of principles and standards, can result in disciplinary action.
"We would also observe the indictment alleges the conduct occurred in December 2010; Mr Keys joined Reuters in 2012."
The US Justice Department said Mr Keys had been charged in California with one count each of conspiracy to transmit information to damage a protected computer; transmitting information to damage a protected computer and attempted transmission of information to damage a protected computer.
Mr Keys worked for Sacramento-based TV station KTXL FOX 40 - owned by Tribune - as its web producer but his job was terminated in late October 2010, the indictment adds.
He is alleged to have identified himself on an internet chat forum as a former Tribune Company employee and then provided members of Anonymous with the login and password to the Tribune Company server.
The indictment alleges that Mr Keys had a conversation with the hacker who claimed credit for the defacement of the Los Angeles Times website.
The hacker allegedly told him that Tribune Company system administrators had locked him out.
Mr Keys allegedly tried to regain access for the hacker, and when he learned that the hacker had made changes to a page, Mr Keys is said to have responded: "Nice."
If convicted, Mr Keys faces up to 10 years in jail, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000 for each count.
He is scheduled to appear in the Sacramento federal court on 14 April.
The row has blown up over the "right to be forgotten" ruling that lets people request that some webpages be removed from results.
This only applied in Europe but in June France's data regulator told Google to remove results seen by everyone.
Google declined and asked the regulator to drop the case. It refused and is now considering punishing the firm.
The "right to be forgotten" ruling was passed by the European Union's Court of Justice (ECJ) in May last year. Since then, Google is believed to have handled more than 320,000 requests to remove data from its search index. Around 40% of all requests are granted.
In June, the French data protection authority, CNIL, told Google to extend this data scrubbing to all the sites through which people can search its indices. Its decision came after a panel of European data protection watchdogs said Google should remove data more widely.
It said the step was needed because data unavailable to European searchers was still discoverable via other Google domains that were accessible from Europe.
CNIL added that it was not trying to impose its view globally but instead just wanted Google to fully observe the scope of the European legislation.
Now CNIL has thrown out Google's request for it to drop this demand.
"The President of the CNIL rejects Google's informal appeal against the formal notice requesting it to apply delisting on all of the search engine's domain names," it said in a statement.
CNIL said Google should comply immediately or face fines of up to 300,000 euros (£217,000). The regulator is now appointing an investigator who will report back on appropriate sanctions.
In response, Google said it had "thoughtfully and comprehensively" applied the ECJ ruling across its European sites and would continue to do so.
"But as a matter of principle, we respectfully disagree with the idea that a single national Data Protection Authority should determine which webpages people in other countries can access via search engines," it said in a statement.
The girl's father Andre Spicer said his daughter had set up the stall in Mile End, east London, while thousands of music fans were on their way to the Lovebox Festival at the weekend.
Mr Spicer said his daughter burst into tears and told him "I've done a bad thing".
Tower Hamlets Council has since cancelled the fine and apologised.
Mr Spicer said his daughter loved the idea of setting up a stall near their home.
"She just wanted to put a smile on people's faces. She was really proud of herself," he said.
"But after a small time trading, four enforcement officers walked over from the other side of the road.
"I was quite shocked. I thought that they would just tell us to pack up and go home.
Source: Tower Hamlets Council
"But they turned on their mobile camera and began reading from a big script explaining that she did not have a trading licence.
"My daughter clung to me screaming 'Daddy, Daddy, I've done a bad thing.' She's five.
"We were then issued a fine of £150. We packed up and walked home."
A council spokesman said: "We are very sorry that this has happened. We expect our enforcement officers to show common sense and to use their powers sensibly.
"This clearly did not happen.
"The fine will be cancelled immediately and we have contacted Mr Spicer and his daughter to apologise."
The famously blue-blooded creatures come to the tidal flats in southern and western Japan each year to lay eggs, and some normally die off.
But this year conservationists say up to 10 crabs have died each day, eight times higher than normal, according to the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun.
Some think the die-off means the crabs will lay fewer eggs next year.
The creatures are not true crabs, being most closely related to spiders and scorpions.
They are classified as an endangered species in Japan, where their habitat is being destroyed.
Experts cite the effects of global warming, a lack of places to lay eggs and disease as possible causes for the crabs' demise.
Horseshoe crabs are one of the world's oldest creatures and are prized for their blue blood.
Scientists have harvested the horseshoe's blue blood since the 1970s to test the sterility of medical equipment and intravenous drugs.
The blood coagulates around tiny amounts of bacteria, immobilising the pathogens.
One litre can sell for $15,000 (£11,360).
Ventnor Town Council wrote to Penny Mordaunt, the minister for high street and coastal communities, to ask for funds towards fixing Undercliff Drive.
The road was damaged by a landslide in February and has been closed since.
The council said the landslide was "equally catastrophic" as Eastbourne's pier burning down.
In a letter to Ms Mordaunt, who is also the Portsmouth North MP, the town council said the road closure was "devastating the residents of eight homes and one business".
Prime Minister David Cameron announced Eastbourne would be given £2m after the pier caught fire on 30 July, causing about a third of it to be destroyed.
The landslide happened during reconstruction of the road and eight families are still living in rented accommodation after being evacuated from their homes.
A four-mile detour is in place and according to the town council a caravan tourism business in the area has received no income this summer.
In July the Isle of Wight Council's executive committee agreed to investigate three of six possible options for Undercliff Drive in St Lawrence.
Jason Mack, mayor and chair of Ventnor Town Council, said: "We are supportive of Isle of Wight Council and as far as we are concerned they are doing all they can. Maybe things could be speeded up with an injection of cash from the government."
How do you decide which party to vote for? Is it just along traditional lines or do you examine each party's policies?
Bardic Players is a thriving drama group in Donaghmore in County Tyrone.
All shades of political opinion, and none, are represented.
Declan McGrath has found the whole thing pretty frustrating.
"Everyone wants to know about cuts and things like that there. But, yet, we seem to be stuck in the same old rhetoric," he said.
Brian Mills agrees: "There's plenty to talk about here, but I'm seeing more about what's happening in England.
"I think there should be more communication here."
The people we spoke to included first time voters and voters under 50.
Kieran Devlin said he believes more should be discussed about issues that really matter.
"To be honest it puts me off. I didn't vote last year - for us it's about health and education and sport," he said.
"The politicians never listen. It's what they can gain for themselves. They gave themselves a pay rise and everybody else gets cuts."
Choosing who to vote for is something Declan believes has almost become predestined.
"It's not so much bred into you - it's nearly expected of you," he said.
"They throw a leaflet in and they presume, because of where you live or who you are, they have your vote and that's it. There's not much discussion about what you would like."
Another member of the group, Joshua Cuddy, said: "It's ridiculous that surnames and family ties should tie down exactly who we're voting for, and votes can be counted in people's heads before they've even gone to the polling stations.
"I think we need to move on from those issues that have been holding us back for years and years."
Most of the women in the group found the campaign a particular turn-off.
Emily McKenna said she found the debates "long, boring and pointless".
"You can't waste your vote, especially as a girl - but as a first-time voter nothing appeals to me to want to vote so I don't see the point in voting for someone just for the sake of it."
Only one person in the group had been personally canvassed at their door by a party.
And, for some, the TV debates have been a particular no-no.
Stuart Richardson said: "Politicians are politicians - my TV is for entertainment".
"We can confirm that we are beginning preparations for the production of The Great British Bake Off Series eight," said a spokesman for Love Productions.
"The precursor to every series is to find the next batch of wonderful bakers," the show's makers continued.
Paul Hollywood is the only celebrity participant who has agreed to stay with follow the show from the BBC to its new home.
Fellow judge Mary Berry and hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins left the show after the BBC lost the rights to broadcast it.
Berry, though, is maintaining her connection to Love Productions by appearing in Bake Off's US sister programme, The Great American Baking Show.
Amateur bakers who are "crazy about croissants" and "passionate about pies" have been invited to apply through Love Productions' website.
The closing date for applications is 8 January.
The Great British Bake Off will make its final appearance on BBC One this month in a Christmas edition featuring bakers from previous series.

At the time I described the changes as some of the most radical in the history of the Tube.
Almost exactly two years on and we are on the brink of another strike over the same issue.
Back then, further strikes were called off when the late Bob Crow received assurances that: "London Underground had agreed a station-by-station review of the ticket office closures, which could mean that some will stay open."
That didn't happen and nearly all ticket offices were shut by last December.
And what followed was a huge reorganisation.
Staff have been moved from behind ticket offices onto gate lines - driven by the use of Oyster cards and bankcards - and around 838 staff have been cut, to save about £40m a year.
This is called the Fit for the Future (FFTF) programme and it has fundamentally changed the way staff work on the Underground.
The choice of dates for this weekend's station staff strike is no coincidence.
Sunday is the start of new rotas in the King's Cross, Central Line East and Leytonstone areas of the Tube.
Staff still have concerns over lone working, what happens to their pay if they don't take promotion to supervisor level, and weekend working.
The dispute pre-dates the Night Tube, but it ended up being combined with those by London Underground bosses.
Now it seems those issues have become un-coupled again.
Only the Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union station staff will go on strike on Saturday for 48 hours, not train drivers.
About 70% of station staff are represented by the RMT; the rest are with the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA), who are not walking out.
So there will be disruption on Sunday and Monday, with some stations opening later or not opening at all. But the trains will be running.
Two years ago all grades represented by the RMT, including drivers, walked out. The union has reduced the impact of the dispute by requesting only its station staff members walk out.
There have been some positive noises from the last-minute talks.
But these concerns are long held by Tube staff, and even if the strikes are called off, some will be unhappy at these changes.
Foreign currencies like the US dollar and South African rand have been used for most transactions since 2009.
Local dollars are not used except high-denomination notes sold as souvenirs.
But from Monday, Zimbabweans can exchange bank accounts of up to 175 quadrillion (175,000,000,000,000,000) Zimbabwean dollars for five US dollars.
Higher balances will be exchanged at a rate of Z$35 quadrillion to US$1.
Africa news updates
The move has been "pending and long outstanding," central bank Governor John Mangudya said, quoted by Bloomberg.
"We cannot have two legal currency systems. We need therefore to safeguard the integrity of the multiple-currency system or dollarization in Zimbabwe."
Zimbabweans have until the end of September to exchange their local dollars.
Correspondents say this is likely to only affect those with savings accounts.
Multi-currency country:
Zimbabwe's multi-currency confusion
Hyper-inflation saw prices in shops change several times a day, severe shortages of basic goods and Zimbabweans taking their money to market in wheelbarrows.
Ahead of the abandonment of the Zimbabwean dollar in January 2009, officials gave up on reporting official inflation statistics.
Towards the end of 2008, annual inflation had reached 231m%, pensions, wages and investments were worthless, most schools and hospitals were closed and at least eight in 10 people were out of work.
The highest denomination was a $100 trillion Zimbabwean dollar note.
A four-year unity government, that ended in 2013 with President Robert Mugabe's re-election, helped stabilise the economy but it still faces huge challenges.
One of the problems has been the shortage of coins that kept prices high as retailers often rounded them up and shoppers were given change in sweets or pens.
Over the last six months, the central bank has introduced about $10m (£6.4m) worth of "bond coins" into circulation, but they have not been popular with consumers who fear that it is the first step in the re-introduction of the Zimbabwe dollar.
During campaigning ahead of the last election, some ruling Zanu-PF party supporters had suggested this could happen, but the central bank governor has since ruled that out.
Zimbabwe's economy has struggled since a government programme seized most white-owned farms in 2000, causing exports to tumble.
Mr Mugabe has always blamed the economic problems on a Western plot to oust him.
Cambodia's construction industry is booming, and high-rises are being built across the capital of Phnom Penh. With the city's population doubling over the past four years, it has begun its transformation into a sprawling metropolis.
The industry employs a large number of migrant workers who flock to the capital in search of work.
Around a third of these workers are women, and photographer Charles Fox's latest project documents them on the building sites.
Some of the women are just starting out, others hone skills learnt in the provinces, while others are from the masses of workers who returned from Thailand in 2014 after a crackdown on illegal migrant workers.
Many of these women have come to the capital with their family and friends, relocating to live and work on the building sites.
The sites can often be dangerous and female workers can receive lower wages than their male counterparts.
Despite this, the women of Cambodia's construction industry are hard-working and driven, remaining resilient to the risks they face.
Five years ago, I came to Phnom Penh with my husband and my son. There's no work for us at the countryside. The only thing we can do there is grow rice once a year.
But if it were financially possible I would quit my job immediately and return to my village. Then I would take care of my mother and be able to see my other children more frequently.
Three years ago a divorce and a hospitalisation put me in debt. I had to sell my house and my land, but it wasn't enough to pay all my debts. So I came to the city to work on a construction site.
The great thing of working in construction is that here I get paid per week. You don't have that when you work in the factory or in a hotel.
I have five children and they and my husband all work in construction.
Together with my husband I build elevator shafts. Our manager consistently sends us from one location to the other. Sometimes we stay at a project for one month, sometimes for two or three.
Unlike my friends who work in factories, I prefer working in construction as my whole family is here with me. Yet despite being close to my loved ones I face verbal harassment from male co-workers when they are drunk at night.
Its been three years since I arrived in Phnom Penh and I have been working in construction the whole time. My daughter is living with my parents back home in Prey Veng Province.
I try to save as much money as possible so my diet is limited. I also sleep at the construction site to save money so I can send it back to my family.
I have worked in construction for almost four years now. I have worked all over Phnom Penh for different construction projects from hotels, apartments to condos.
As a female worker here I am verbally harassed by male construction workers, but what to do? I have no other place to sleep. I can't afford any private accommodation.
I have worked in construction in Cambodia for about two months now - prior to that I worked in Thailand for several years. As a mother of two, I have to work from early morning to dusk so I can afford to support my family.
I have no proper food or time to eat and I feel dizzy a lot of the time.
Professional poker player David Michael Jenkins, 34, made more than £1m from his part in an underground business producing and supply steroids, Mold Crown Court was told.
He was jailed in July.
But he was back in court on Monday for a financial hearing under The Proceeds of Crime Act.
Judge Niclas Parry formally made an order which said that the criminal benefit from the enterprise was £1,012,767.
The recoverable amount available for confiscation was calculated at £101,862 which must be paid in three months or Jenkins will have to serve an additional two years in prison.
Jenkins, from Connah's Quay, Flintshire, told the court that as he was still in prison he may be unable to sell a house within the timescale.
The judge told him that if an application to extend the deadline was to be made in the future, he would have to show every effort had been made to sell the property.
The court heard that assets included an Audi A3, money held on account in casinos in Merseyside, casino chips, cash and a half share in a house in Connah's Quay.
Jenkins, a former roofer, had previously admitted being concerned in the supply of steroids, class C drugs, and money laundering between January 2009 and September 2012.
The role-playing game picked up ultimate game of the year as well as top gaming moment for its Throat of the World scene and best RPG.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim beat the likes of Modern Warfare 3, Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 3 to the top prize.
The winners are all voted for by gamers with the event celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
"The awards have been bigger and better than ever, a fitting tribute to a games industry in rude health," said James Kick from the Golden Joysticks.
"This year voting doubled on our previous world record, smashing four million votes from international gamers keen to make their voice heard.
"Today's winners represent the best of the best. Here's to 30 more years of the Joysticks."
Other winners included Batman Arkham City (Action/adventure), Battlefield 3 (shooter), Angry Birds Space (mobile/tablet) and Forza 4 (racing).
Grand Theft Auto 5, which is due to be released soon, won in the "one to watch" category.
EA Sports' Fifa won the outstanding contribution award.
The awards, which took place in central London, were hosted by comedian and gamer Ed Byrne.
A robot controlled by Stephen Fry presented the best hand-held game award to Sony Computer Entertainment for Uncharted: Golden Abyss.
Footage from two forthcoming games, from the Hitman and Metro series, was also shown.
This year marks the 40th year since TJ's was opened by former merchant seaman John Sicolo, who died last year.
Under his helm, more than 5,000 bands, including some of the greatest names in music started off or played there.
Former Catatonia singer Cerys Matthews, who also performed there, narrates how the venue was a cultural "bridge between Wales and the world".
Matthews, who played there when Catatonia was just starting out and played there again when the band had made it big, said: "People from Wales could embrace the world through TJ's but similarly, TJ's attracted artists from all over the world to Wales."
TJ's was started by John Sicolo in 1971, first christening it El Sieco's before renaming it TJ's Disco.
It soon developed a reputation as a place for up-and-coming bands to make a name for themselves after it was championed by BBC DJ John Peel.
Its roll call of bands include Oasis, Ash and the Manic Street Preachers, the Stone Roses as well as more homegrown talent Darling Buds and the Newport rap collective Goldie Lookin' Chain.
Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain is said to proposed to his wife Courtney Love when she was performing there with her band, Hole.
And such the cosmopolitan nature of the club that it led to the New York Times describing the city as the "Seattle of the UK".
Poet Patrick Jones, brother of the Manic Street Preachers' Nicky Wire, describes how TJ's shone like a bright light to Welsh valleys teenagers who wanted to escape the "straight-jacket masculinity" of rugby clubs and the commercial disco scene.
Eggsy from Goldie Lookin Chain started going to TJ's as a young teenager.
He said the club was a huge creative melting pot in the days before the internet, with an influence far beyond music, inspiring people who also went into photography, fashion, painting and poetry.
The programme is produced by Sarah Dickins, who had been working with Sicolo for six months on how the programme would be testament to the bands who played there.
She said: "We met several times and talked about what he did and what he hoped to do."
Tragically, Sicolo, aged 66, died the day after her idea was commissioned by BBC Wales, so the programme turned into a tribute to the man as well as his venue.
She said: "What has come out about John is two things.
"One was that he would give anyone a chance, even people who hadn't been on stage before.
"The Darling Buds, who became quite big in the 90s, they actually only knew four songs when John let them play TJ's, and they went on from that to real success and ended up playing the [Cardiff] arms park.
"The other thing was tolerance. It was a place that was tolerant of all styles of music, all age groups."
"The programme isn't just about the music, it's about what made him the man he was - what was special about the man what was special about TJ's."
John Sicolo and the story of TJs is broadcast on BBC Radio Wales at 1900 GMT on Fri 25 March. It is part of Radio Wales Music Day
Leatherdale, 48, will leave New Road in March to end a 30-year association with the club as a player and administrator.
"It is a sad day for Worcestershire and a massive loss to the club," said chairman Stephen Taylor.
"It's one of those prestigious roles and I can fully understand David taking it."
An all-rounder, Leatherdale spent his entire playing career at New Road, making his debut in 1988 and helping the club win and retain the Championship title in his first two seasons.
In all, he won six major trophies, scored more than 15,000 runs and took more than 300 wickets in all forms of the game.
Leatherdale became commercial director after retiring in 2005 and replaced Mark Newton as CEO five years later.
With Leatherdale staying at New Road until mid-March, Taylor said there was no rush to find a successor - especially as the role may change.
"There are not many chief executives out there now who are past professional cricketers and, as a club, we will start the process of looking at finding the right person for the right role," Taylor added.
"The role may look slightly different to the current role is as these will be big shoes to fill."
A system aiming to speed up the process of switching account providers has been in place for 15 months in the UK.
The £8bn-a-year market has traditionally been dominated by Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC and RBS, who control 75% of accounts.
Now some smaller providers have widened the elements of competition.
Some of the latest current account deals include interest payments of up to 5% for customers that stay in credit and cashback on utility bills and shopping.
Kevin Mountford, of Moneysupermarket.com, told Radio 5 live's consumer team: "There has always been a perception that the current account is a valuable asset because clearly then the banks have our transactional data.
"But what we have seen with the start of the [seven-day] current account switching service, is greater awareness and a political agenda to bring in more competition.
"I think the big four banks have now realised they can no longer rest on their laurels. Ultimately we as consumers are going to get more choice and that can only be a good thing."
Data from market analysts TNS Global shows that last year, twice as many customers moved their current account to Santander than to its nearest rival, Halifax.
Santander's 123 account has a £2 monthly fee and offers 3% interest on balances of up to £20,000, plus cashback on household and utility bills and home insurance premiums.
Similarly, Nationwide's Flex Direct Current Account which launched 15 months ago, offers an introductory rate of 5% on balances up to £2,500. The building society attracted 339,000 new customers in the nine months to December.
In comparison, the highest paying cash Individual Savings Account (Isa) currently on the market, Skipton Building Society's Limited Edition Cash Isa, pays 1.6% interest.
Now there are signs the big four banks are starting to bite back. Barclays, which saw its overall share of the current account market fall by 2% last year, is launching its new online "Blue Rewards" account this week.
This offers customers £180 a year and a series of cashback payments on Barclays' mortgage and home insurance, and on purchases at some High Street stores.
In return, every month customers must pay a £3 flat fee and deposit a minimum of £800. They must also have at least two direct debits linked to Blue Rewards.
Analysts say this change of direction by Barclays is a sign of the ferocious competition now underway.
An investigation last year by the watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority, found overall levels of current account switching remained low. Consumer groups blame apathy and lack of transparency over charges.
Marks and Spencer is one of the newer entrants to High Street banking. It has also launched a paid-for current account offering loyalty points on in-store shopping and £100 "welcome" voucher for new customers.
Paul Stokes, head of products at M&S Bank, dismissed claims that these deals were being run at a loss by providers, to help them sell more lucrative banking products such as credit cards and loans.
"I don't think loss leaders or cross subsidising products is helpful for the longer term for the industry," he said. "It is important to us that [the account] makes a contribution, and it does do that."
Emergency services were called to a house on Cross Farm Road in the Parr area of St Helens at about 19:20 GMT on Tuesday, Merseyside Police said.
Paramedics treated the 29-year-old man at the scene but he died in an ambulance on the way to hospital.
A 34-year-old woman is being questioned by detectives in police custody. Officers are appealing for information.
Lorry driver Darren Kelly, 42, from Basildon, Essex, was stabbed to death two miles from his home on Tuesday.
The four people appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court earlier.
A girl, aged 15, from Pitsea, a boy, 17, from Pitsea, a boy, 16, from Basildon, and Chris Carroll, 20, of Pitsea, have been charged with murder.
None of the youths can be named for legal reasons.
Mr Carroll, of Pevensey Close, appeared in a separate hearing before the three youths.
All four have been remanded in custody to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court on 27 October.
The youths were remanded in youth detention accommodation.
A 13-year-old girl, from Basildon, who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on police bail until 16 December.
A post-mortem examination found that Mr Kelly died from stab wounds and blood loss.
But the government did give MPs and peers assurances on two key issues.
First: that sorting out the status of EU nationals living in the UK (and of Brits resident in the EU) was an immediate negotiating priority.
Second: that there would be a vote in Parliament - the so-called meaningful vote - on the ultimate divorce deal.
The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, told the Commons on Monday that the government had made a commitment to "bring forward a motion on the final agreement to be approved by both Houses of Parliament before it is concluded....We expect and intend that this will happen before the European parliament debates and votes on the final issue.....Our clear intention, an intention stated more than once at this Dispatch box, and by far the most likely outcome, by the way, is that we will bring back a deal to the Houses of Parliament for them to approve."
Much of the Brexit manoeuvring in Parliament now revolves around how this final vote would actually work, particularly in the scenario where the divorce talks fail, and Britain leaves the EU with no special agreement and has to trade with its partners on the World Trade Organisation terms.
If there's no deal, is there still a vote? Or is it automatic exit on WTO terms?
The Labour Lords have now given notice of a motion which will probably be debated in the next couple of weeks:
"Baroness of Smith of Basildon [the shadow Leader of the House] to move that it is expedient that a Joint Committee of Lords and Commons be appointed to consider and report on the terms and options for any votes in Parliament on the outcome of the negotiations on the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, including how any such vote be taken before any agreement is considered by the European Parliament; and that the committee do report by 31 October 2017."
Lady Smith, who is arguably the most powerful Labour parliamentarian, flatly denies that this motion is a Trojan Horse for the Remain cause, designed to create an opportunity for a last ditch parliamentary vote to stay in the EU.
But she does argue that if the government were to oppose her, it would cast doubt on the sincerity of their promises about parliamentary sovereignty.
In fact, it gives ministers an awkward choice between resisting what would probably be a Lords majority for the plan, and acquiescing to a committee of great and good peers, building what they would doubtless see as elephant traps into the final furlong of Brexit.
There's also a second motion calling for a report before the end of the current parliamentary year (a moveable feast, but probably around 10 May) setting out the progress on the EU nationals/expat Brits issue - another chance for ministers to have their feet held to the fire.
Key crossbench peers have already been consulted, and the Liberal Democrat peers would find it hard not to support this proposal - and it would also provide Labour with useful points as the Lib Dems continue to pitch themselves as the party of Remain while painting Labour as appeasers in the Brexit battle.
Just when you might have expected a lull in Parliament's Brexit battles, the Labour lords have opened a new front.
Cabrera, from Maracay in Venezuela, topped the three tables for batting average, home runs, and producing runs.
Cabrera said his dream "had come true".
The Triple Crown had only been won by 14 players in American baseball history, and eluded some of the all-time greats, including Babe Ruth.
Cabrera clinched the Triple Crown on Wednesday after his side's game against the Kansas City Royals.
The only man who could deny him the accolade, Curtis Granderson of the New York Yankees, ended one home run short in the home run table.
"It's an unbelievable feeling," Cabrera said.
Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said: "Miguel has become one of the most accomplished hitters in the game, and this recognition is one that he will be able to cherish for the rest of his life.".
For a sport that loves statistics, the Triple Crown is one of the rarest feats, last accomplished in 1967 by Boston's Carl Yastrzemski.
It goes to the player who leads the batting average, has most home runs and tops the table for runs batted in (RBIs) in either of the American or the National League, which together make up Major League Baseball.
Cabrera, 29, had a .330 batting average, 44 home runs and 139 RBIs in the American League.
He is the first Latin American to take the honour, and his success was widely reported in his baseball-mad home country of Venezuela.
Councillor Paul Carter, from the County Councils Network, said the government was pursuing change with "undue haste".
Under draft government plans, all state schools in England will have to leave the oversight of councils by 2022.
A Department for Education spokesman said the concerns were "misplaced".
Academies - a turn or a wiggle?
Do academies get better results?
The evidence around academies is mixed, with most experts agreeing there is no conclusive proof the model is the single best way to improve education.
Councillor Carter is chairman of the County Councils Network and also leader of Kent County Council and a governor of a multi-academy trust.
He told the BBC: "My concern is that the change will lead to a poorer education system operating across Kent, and more broadly England, because the value that local authorities generally provide to schools will be removed."
What does it mean to be an academy school?
Under the draft plans, the role of overseeing standards will fall entirely to eight appointed senior civil servants called regional schools commissioners.
A new national funding formula will mean money will go directly from central government to schools, rather than priorities being set locally.
Ministers argue this will provide a high level of autonomy to schools, and help drive up standards through greater innovation and competition in the system.
But Mr Carter said he was worried a "one size fits all" approach would lead to local accountability being replaced by a "new regional quangocracy".
He described primary schools as much more "brittle" than larger secondary schools, with greater need for support, such as the maternity cover provided in Kent.
"If you have a school with five teachers, and two or three of those teachers become pregnant at the same time, you need those support networks to support those schools - otherwise their finances will not be sustainable and the school will end up in a spiral of decline."
The County Council Network say it is the future of small schools and high-needs pupils which are most uncertain under the government's plans.
This week, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said she was listening very carefully to "important issues" raised about the plans.
On Sunday, a Department for Education spokesperson said the plans would not hinder schools requiring support, but instead support "those who need it most".
Changes would ensure schools received assistance "more quickly and effectively", they said.
"Multi-academy trusts and stand-alone academies will work with regional schools commissioners to ensure the needs of the local community - including high-needs pupils - are met swiftly."
Farhan Mirza, 38, of Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent, secretly filmed the women and threatened to share the footage before demanding money.
Mirza, who denied the charges, met some of the women on online dating sites.
He was jailed for voyeurism, blackmail, sexual assault, theft and fraud at Cardiff Crown Court.
During the trial, jurors heard Mirza had initially impressed his victims by claiming to be a doctor and hung surgical scrubs in his wardrobe and carried a stethoscope in his car.
He also claimed his family were highly educated professionals working in locations around the world.
But the court heard he was an IT worker at a college and worked as a part time taxi driver. He lived with his mother in a terraced house in Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent, at the time.
Jurors heard the "sexual predator" targeted Muslim women because of the "terror" and "embarrassment" they would have felt at having intimate photos and videos made public.
But his lies were exposed after one of his victims found £70,000 in cash and hundreds of images of naked women, including a video of herself which she knew nothing about, at his home.
After the discovery, she said he threatened to blackmail her and she feared reprisals from ultra-religious groups such as the Taliban if a video of her was sent to her Pakistani family.
She eventually went to the police who discovered other women had been blackmailed by Mirza.
Sentencing Mirza, Judge Tom Crowther said in the case of his first victim, "you wanted to take her for everything you could get".
He said "that demonstrates the pure misogyny of how you were living off this scheme".
Mirza was described as "manipulative, deceitful and callous" by PC Pat Maguire, the officer in charge of the investigation for Gwent Police.
After the hearing, Mr Maguire said Mirza had shown "no remorse for his actions throughout this investigation".
"I would like to thank the victims for their courage to come forward and report these offences to the police," he said.
"They have shown great bravery and dignity throughout."

France finished bottom of their group in 2010 amidst a player revolt, but on Sunday they face Portugal in the final of their home European Championship.
"We have a team again," Henry told BBC Sport. "People can relate to them, everything is back on track.
"You can see that it is beyond football, beyond sport."
In South Africa in 2010, the players refused to train after Raymond Domenech, the manager at the time, threw striker Nicolas Anelka out of the squad for verbally abusing him.
"We had to reconnect, have that relationship again with the fans that was lost after 2010," added former Arsenal and Barcelona striker Henry. "That is back on track.
"Six years ago everyone was laughing at us. Now we need that cup at the end to show how far we have come."
In November, attacks in Paris left 130 dead, with several explosions taking place outside the Stade de France, where France will play Portugal in Sunday's final.
The explosions took place while France were playing a friendly match against Germany, who they beat 2-0 in Thursday's semi-final in Marseille.
"We were looking for a team again," said Henry.
"Situations like that [Paris attacks] bring people together. Everyone is behind the team, I didn't see that for a long time and it helps. We won games in the group stage very late, people didn't give up and were still pushing us forward and the team reacted to that.
"People can relate to that team. They are proud to be French. You touch a bit of the whole country. That's France. They are all proud to wear the shirt, sing the anthem, proud to have the flag. When you create that togetherness it's difficult to stop.
"Is it going to change everything? I don't know, but togetherness and happiness you can see at the moment.
"I am very proud because we needed it."
Thierry Henry was in the France squad that won the 1998 World Cup on home soil and started the final in 2000 as the team won the European Championship in the Netherlands.
"The winning mentality is the same," said Henry, who won 123 caps between 1997 and 2010.
"Against Germany I was worried. I knew Germany would have the ball and we would have to defend well - but it didn't look like Germany would score, we were strong.
"There was a feeling that we weren't going to concede, that's what we had in 1998. In 2000 we were a team going forwards - more offensive - but in 1998 we were hard to beat, resilient. A plan, an identity that you could relate to, you can see that now.
"That's what fans want, a team that they can see themselves in. The same thing now, with 98. The different ethnicities in the team also."
France are coached by Didier Deschamps, who won 103 caps as a player and captained the side in both 1998 and 2000. A defensive midfielder, he was once described as a "water carrier" by compatriot Eric Cantona.
"When you have a guy who has won battles before as a leader, you are going to follow him, simple as that," said Henry.
Didier Deschamps battled adversity very young. He went to Juventus in 1998, he was one of the first of his generation to play abroad. Always he had to fight adversity. He wasn't the most skilful player, people were laughing at him - but he was always skilful up here. The biggest skill you can have is in your brain. He had that to a T.
"He was very clever on the field and off the field. Before Euro 2000 he was questioned. They said he shouldn't start but he won it. He had to prove why he should be there. You could see that he would be a coach when I played with him. He guided you. He always wins.
"He made some mistakes through the group stage - but he wasn't afraid to change at half-time, to leave players on the bench. He has a winning mentality. On top of everything, when he gives you the plan and it works, you follow that guy until you die. Hopefully we can then win the war.
"If you have a plan, a philosophy and a leader, you can be calm when things are going wrong. There is security in the group. It helps when you win."

Cristiano Ronaldo will captain Portugal in Sunday's final. Portugal scored late in extra time to defeat Croatia, knocked out Poland on penalties and beat Wales 2-0 during the knockout stages. Ronaldo opened scoring against Wales with a towering header.
"Portugal can make the game ugly. They know how to play like that.
"Wales did a good job against Ronaldo. He was nowhere to be seen - and then 1-0. It looked like he was getting annoyed, but how do you stop that?
"You know in the game he will have chances. Sometimes you have players who need to grow into the game, get the rhythm. Ronaldo can be anonymous, lose a lot of balls, but he still knows that he can score. He stays focused.
"I played with striker David Trezeguet, who was outstanding at that. He might not touch the ball all game but he could score a goal.
"We won the Euros in 1984 and 16 years later in 2000. Now it is 16 years later from then. We have a habit of winning tournaments at home. There is something about our culture.
"When we are at home and we want to do something together, with all the diversity we have we are hard to beat. There is definitely something happening. Now for the last hurdle: Ronaldo and Portugal."

Labour's former deputy PM was among a number of ex-ministers to be given peerages after the election in May.
Lord Prescott, deputy to Tony Blair for 10 years, was watched by his wife Pauline, who sat in one of the public viewing galleries.
Although reportedly against taking a peerage in the past, he now says it will enable him to campaign on issues.
The 72-year old has officially became Baron Prescott during a short ceremony in the House of Lords, although he will be known as Lord Prescott.
Wearing traditional ermine robes, he pledged allegiance to the Queen, signed the official documents before departing the Lords chamber, pausing briefly to chat to Conservative peer Lord Strathclyde, the leader of the house.
After he stood down as deputy leader in 2007, Mr Prescott reportedly indicated that he would not be following in their footsteps.
"I don't want to be a member of the House of Lords," the Daily Mail reported him as saying in August 2008, although he denies ever saying it.
Mr Prescott has remained active in political life despite standing down as the MP for Hull East at the last election.
He campaigned vigorously for Labour - travelling the country in a battle bus - and has since said he wants to be the party's Treasurer to help improve its finances.
Speaking after it was announced he would be nominated for a peerage in May, he said he was not ready for "his pipe and slippers" yet.
"I tell you what. The Lords is a place of class, no doubt about that, and I'd like to be in the battle there, like I am elsewhere," he said.
He said he wanted a platform to continue to make the case for jobs, social justice and environmental protection and denied he had been talked into it by his wife.
"I make my own decisions. Of course I'd be influenced by my wife, but I'm not doing it for that."
Former Labour MPs Quentin Davies, who defected from the Tories in 2007 and became a defence minister, and ex-Cabinet Office minister Angela Smith also took their places in the Lords. They were sworn in as Lord Davies of Stamford and Baroness Smith of Basildon. | Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark says his side finally got the luck their play deserved in defeating St Johnstone 3-0.

The Voice UK drew an average of 5.9 million. The shows overlapped by half an hour, with Let It Shine starting an hour earlier at 19:00 GMT.
The Voice UK moved from the BBC to ITV after the last series. Both shows peaked with 6.9 million viewers.
Let It Shine aims to find cast members for a new Take That musical.
The Voice UK saw the return of Sir Tom Jones, who was dropped by the BBC from its version of the show in 2015.
He was joined by fellow coaches will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson and Gavin Rossdale as they listened to contestants hoping to win a record contract.
The Let It Shine judges, alongside Barlow, are Dannii Minogue and Martin Kemp.
They were joined for the auditions by guest judge and former Glee actress Amber Riley, who is currently starring in the West End stage show of Dreamgirls.
Other guest judges on the show, presented by former Great British Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc and comedian Graham Norton, will include pop veteran Lulu.
Barlow has previously said the success of his new show should not be judged on TV ratings because they are less relevant than they used to be.
The Voice UK gave a boost to ITV's Saturday night viewing figures, with only 3.2 million tuning in during the same slot on the channel last year.
But the opener was slightly down on the debut show for the last BBC series, which attracted an average of 7.1m viewers on 9 January last year.
However, the latter had its smallest ever audience for a final last April, with 4.5 million watching, compared with 6.3 million the previous year.
Audiences for TV singing contests have been in decline for a number of years. December's The X Factor final was the least watched in the show's history and lost out in the ratings to BBC One's Planet Earth II, which was shown at the same time.

Media suspect the outage on Tuesday may have been caused by hacking groups.
Chinese netizens were denied internet access for at least an hour during the disruption. Two-thirds of the websites, including the popular Baidu and Sina portals, were affected, the China National Radio reports.
The Global Times reported that domestic internet traffic was redirected to a website owned by US company Dynamic Internet Technology. The company has denied any involvement in the outage.
According to Reuters news agency, the company "sells anti-censorship web services tailored for Chinese users".
"The incident is possibly caused by a hacker attack, but the real attacker remains unknown as the hacker could have used the Dynamic's IP address as a shield," the Global Times quotes an unnamed security expert as saying.
Several experts tell the China National Radio that the attack is "not malicious" and will not cause an information leak for the users, while an article on the China.org.cn, a government-authorised internet portal, says the outage once again brings the problem of internet security into focus.
The Chinese edition of the Global Times adds that experts do not think the attack originates from the US.
"The US is already a 'super super' big country in cyberspace. It holds the majority of internet resources, so such an attack will not benefit the US government or the military, but will only alert China about the importance of internet security," it quotes another unnamed cyber expert as saying.
In other news, the China Daily calls for the world's policymakers to tackle income disparity after an Oxfam report revealed that the world's richest 85 people own as much wealth as half of the world's population.
The paper, however, says that China has achieved "some progress" in closing the rich-poor income gap.
Official data released on Monday shows that China's Gini coefficient, a measure of the income gap between the rich and the poor, has dropped slightly from 0.473 in 2013 compared with 0.474 in 2012.
The China Daily points out that the Gini coefficient "has eased from 0.491 in 2008 to 0.473 in 2013" which "bears testimony that the inclusiveness of the country's economic growth is increasing".
The Shanghai Daily, however, notes that the income gap in China is still higher than the warning level of 0.4 set by the United Nations.
In similar vein, state-owned Economic Information observes that this is the first time officials have published the figures in the past 10 years.
The website praises the effort of the new leadership in closing the income gap and says that releasing the figures is a "positive sign" and such "important" information will make the work of tackling income disparity easier.
Meanwhile, several media outlets are also reporting that China is building the world's largest (10,000-metric tonne) marine surveillance ship, which surpasses Japan's 7,175-tonne patrol boat.
Official channel CCTV says state-owned China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation has signed the contract to construct the ship.
"If the rest of the massive vessel is fully completed, China will overtake Japan as owner of world's biggest surveillance ship," the CCTV adds.
However, the company appears to have retracted the information on its website and has "declined to confirm the news", reports the Global Times.
In regional politics, China's Foreign Ministry has announced that President Xi Jinping will not be meeting Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics.
The Global Times says Japan likes "corridor diplomacy" or "chance encounter diplomacy", which means creating an opportunity to meet informally, but now China has "blocked the door" to such meetings with an "insincere" Mr Abe.
Elsewhere, the paper also reports that Chinese activist Xu Zhiyong's trial has started at the Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court.
Mr Xu is charged with "gathering crowds to disrupt public order". He is one of several activists from a transparency movement who are facing trials this week.
The Global Times' Chinese version and other state media outlets appear to be not covering the story.
And finally, reports of the New York police's alleged beating of an elderly Chinese man who jaywalked has also grabbed the Chinese media's attention.
At least 30% of netizens who took part in an internet poll on popular portal Sina support the actions of the police.
The Global Times observes the "double standard" view that many hold and comments that if Chinese police were to beat a jaywalker, people will immediately start criticising the force.

Police said the victim escaped out of an upstairs bedroom after three raiders broke into the house on Swayfield Avenue, Longsight, Manchester.
The offenders, one of whom had a gun, bound the victim's mouth with tape and demanded cash in the raid at about 20:30 GMT on Sunday.
Police described it as "terrifying".
Supt Dave Pester of Greater Manchester Police said it was a "terrifying experience for the victim" and specialist officers were supporting her.
He said a "dedicated team of detectives" were committed to the investigation to find out what happened and appealed for anyone with information to contact the force.
South Wales Police said they were called to Pentreguinea Road in the St Thomas area of the city at 05:25 BST.
A force spokesman said they are investigating the circumstances and no more details are available.
The street has been cordoned off.
Scottish Engineering's quarterly review suggested an improvement in orders, output and staffing in the final quarter of this year.
The latest review follows seven quarters of negative results.
The industry body said the improvement could be seen as "coming from a fairly low base".
The previous review suggested order books and output volumes were at their lowest level since 2009.
The industry body said at the time that uncertainty surrounding the Brexit vote was one factor "exacerbating negative trading conditions".
Scottish Engineering chief executive Bryan Buchan said the results of the latest review were "significant".
He said: "We were at a low post-Brexit on the last quarterly review.
"We seem to have adopted a 'bunny in the headlights' stance as the shock hit our sector, but I think what we are seeing now is the feedthrough from the benefit that is being seen from the weak pound in the rest of the UK as they draw on the Scottish supply chain to replenish stocks which have been depleted.
"Everything is not rosy in the garden yet, but all around our district meetings in the last six weeks we have been hearing some positive stories that people are seeing an uptake in demand for products from their business.
"They are seeing some positive signs coming through for the future."
He added: "What may provide a benefit to the Scottish engineering manufacturing sector is the decision by the chancellor in his Autumn Statement to increase spending on infrastructure and productivity.
"However, that is for the future and our industry needs more orders in the short and medium term."
But take in the view from the 19th floor of a council tower block in the Queen's Park district, and the town takes on a decidedly monochrome quality.
For parts of this town appear to be stuck in an earlier era.
A myriad of bed and breakfast hotels still display "no vacancies" signs between lacy net curtains, advertise rooms "en suite", and promise the delights of "colour" television.
But this year, for once, Blackpool is in the vanguard of social change.
According to experts from Sheffield Hallam University, the government's welfare changes have hit harder here than anywhere else in Britain.
When those changes came in six months ago, their report predicted that, on average, adults of working age in the town would lose £910 a year.
That compares with an average loss across the country of £470.
The government also forecast that more people would be affected by the housing benefits changes in the North West than anywhere else.
"Those figures don't surprise me at all," says Melvyn Holmes, a former miner who now cares for his disabled wife in a Blackpool council house.
Because their two children have left home, they have lost £80 a month from their housing benefit, as a result of the end of the spare room subsidy.
For the first time they also have to pay £20 a month towards their council tax, making them at least £1,200 a year worse off.
"We were all right until the bedroom tax started," he says.
Struggling to cope with debts of up to £5,000, they have now applied for a smaller house, just as the government had hoped.
"It's diabolical," says Melvyn.
"They're trying to force people out of their homes. We've been here for 20 years, but now we're being forced out."
The changes to council tax benefit have also hit Blackpool particularly hard, as the council decided to pass on most of the 10% shortfall in government grant to its residents.
Mike Clague, a former RAF chef whose 19th floor flat has such a spectacular view, is having to find £15 a month extra.
"It doesn't sound much," he says. "But on top of all the other bills, it's a lot."
He has had to cut back on food as a result. Chocolate has become a once-a-week treat.
In Blackpool even those on jobseeker's allowance (JSA) have to find an extra £206 a year.
Many people have not yet paid anything.
"We recently had a huge influx of clients for non-payment of that money," says Julia Hannaford of Blackpool Citizens Advice.
"In one week we saw 40 people."
For those that are paying, the extra outgoings have stretched household budgets. Half the council tenants in Blackpool are behind with their rent.
In two or three cases, the local housing association has now obtained suspended possession orders, the first stage in the eviction process.
Elsewhere in the North West there are already some striking memorials to the first six months of the benefits changes: the houses that no one wants.
In Sefton, on an estate once known as Beirut, there are roads where dozens of people have moved out.
One resident of Daley Road points out 10 empty houses in her street.
"They don't even bother to board them up anymore," she tells me.
"It's all because of the bedroom tax. Nobody wants a three bedroom place anymore."
On this part of Merseyside, community workers also report that, since April, more people are having their benefits temporarily stopped.
JSA claimants, for example, now have to prove that they are job hunting, by applying online.
But not all are computer literate.
Ann Morris, a development worker in Litherland, says that as a result many parents can no longer afford to buy school uniforms.
She and her colleagues have set up a uniform bank to help.
"They all want their kids to go back to school with new uniforms. But some have benefit sanctions, so they just don't have the money," she says.
Carol Wilson, a carer from the Tuebrook area of Liverpool, was herself sanctioned earlier in the year.
She lost one week's Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), as a result of being in hospital.
Since April she has also had to find £80 a month as a result of having a spare room, and £9 a month extra for council tax.
Along with all claimants, she has also been affected by the 1% cap on annual benefits increases.
She, her partner, and her son now share their bath-water to try to economise.
"I never thought I'd see the day that we'd all get in and share a bath. A treat is getting in the bath first."
And she stretches a pot of stew, known as scouse, so that it lasts for three days.
"You just add potatoes each day. When the meat runs out, it's known as "blind scouse".
Blind scouse is certainly making a comeback in Liverpool at the moment, she says.
All along the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has insisted that the changes are not about saving money, but about encouraging more people into work.
Indeed since claimants were warned about the cap on total benefits back in April, the DWP says more than 15,000 have been helped to find jobs.
"Since April we have made great strides delivering our reforms," a DWP spokesman told the BBC.
"The rollout of universal credit and personal independence payments have begun, reforms to housing benefit are making the system fairer and the benefit cap is now in place across the country."
The government also says it has cut income tax for 25 million people, saving a typical taxpayer £700 a year.
It claims the typical household will also save £600 as a result of council tax being frozen for five years.
And even among those hit by benefit cuts, there are those who support the principles of the reforms.
"I do think it's right that people should be in work if they can be," says Carol Wilson.
"And I don't think being on benefits should be too comfortable.
"Whilst I would like more, the country is in a crisis. And I cope with what I have," she says.
PCC David Keane said there is a case to answer for gross misconduct following allegations made last year.
Deputy Chief Constable Janette McCormick has been appointed Acting Chief Constable.
Cheshire Police said it would not be commenting.
Mr Keane said the suspension follows an investigation conducted by an external police force.
"Having carefully considered the evidence, I have determined that there is a case to answer for gross misconduct with regards to authority, respect and courtesy and discreditable conduct," he said.
"I consider that the public interest requires that Mr Byrne be suspended pending the conclusion of the hearing."
An independently-chaired gross misconduct hearing will now take place.
Mr Byrne has been Chief Constable of Cheshire Police since 2014.
China-based FUN88 will replace payday loans company Wonga as shirt sponsor for the next three seasons in a deal thought to worth about £8m a year.
The Magpies are returning to the Premier League after spending the last season in the Championship.
The club said FUN88 would be supporting "a number of fan initiatives" to be unveiled later.
Newcastle's managing director Lee Charnley said: "It was important for us to find the right partner and in FUN88, we have a shirt sponsor that understands the club and brings significant benefits commercially.
"The relationship will enable the club and FUN88 to enhance our respective global profiles together as we celebrate a landmark season and embark on the exciting Premier League campaign ahead.
"As part of a three-year agreement, FUN88 will feature proudly on the club's famous black and white stripes, starting with an historic season as the club celebrates its 125th anniversary."
FUNN88 director Nathan Walker added: "It's a hugely exciting time to partner with one of the most famous clubs in English football.
"Our previous sponsorships in English football have delivered great results and I'm certain Newcastle United provides us with a platform to move to new heights.
"We are looking forward to engaging with the club's huge fan base in Newcastle and worldwide."
FUN88, which was founded in 2008, have had previous deals with Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley FC.
Newcastle's split with Wonga came after the payday lender suffered huge losses of more than £80m in 2015.
Joan Aitken made orders against Kibex Ltd, director Paula Baillie and shadow director Kieran White.
The move follows a public inquiry in Edinburgh with the disqualifications starting at the end of July.
Ms Aitken said Ms Baillie had been "incapable of controlling" Mr White's involvement in the business.
The company was called to public inquiry three years ago after South Lanarkshire Council revoked taxi licences operated in its name.
At that time Ms Baillie gave evidence it was her business not that of her partner Mr White.
He had lost his taxi licence by driving without insurance and could not have been nominated as a director when Kibex applied for its licence.
However, an investigation subsequently found a number of issues with its operation, including that Mr White might be a "controlling force".
The traffic commissioner concluded that the "overwhelming sense" was of the company being a joint undertaking with Mr White taking a leading role.
"The constraint on him was that he had to hold back from signing documentation given his disqualification," she said.
"It appeared from the evidence that nothing was done by Mr White and Ms Baillie to separate him from the governance or control of the business."
The traffic commissioner added that when she gave Kibex a licence, she had been worried about Mr White's "very chequered career" and his revoked taxi licences.
She had granted the firm's application in 2014 on the basis that he would not be in control of the business.
Ms Aitken also refused an application by the company for a standard national licence, which would have allowed them to operate more than two vehicles.
Edun, 19, came through Fulham's academy and made his first-team debut in a 3-2 win over Leyton Orient in the EFL Cup last August.
The versatile midfielder has been a regular for England's youth sides.
He started every match as England's Under-19s won the European Championship for the first time in their history this summer.
It flew over San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge on Saturday evening as it prepared to land in California.
The plane took off from Hawaii on Thursday, where it underwent repairs for the past eight months after its batteries were damaged during the flight from Japan.
This is the ninth leg of its attempt to fly round the world.
"I crossed the bridge. I am officially in America," said pilot Bertrand Piccard as he flew above San Francisco Bay.
Solar Impulse started the journey last March in Abu Dhabi. The trip has involved two different pilots flying separate legs.
Piccard will land the plane later on Saturday evening at Moffett Airfield, located in Mountain View in Silicon Valley.
The landing is being delayed until winds drop.
Solar Impulse gets all its energy from the sun - through the 17,000 photovoltaic cells that cover the top surfaces of the craft.
These power propellers during the day, but also charge batteries that the vehicle's motors can then call on during the night.
The distance on this leg was 4,000km or 2,200 nautical miles.
Starting in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in March, Solar Impulse crossed Oman, India, Myanmar, and China.
It then flew to Japan, before undertaking a 8,924km passage to Hawaii.
That five-day, five-night crossing set a record for the longest ever non-stop solo aeroplane journey.
But the vehicle's batteries overheated during the trip, forcing the project to stop on the Pacific archipelago while repairs were conducted.
A further 20m euros (£16m; $23m) had to be raised from supporters during the winter to keep the project going for another year.
Piccard shares flying duties with his business partner, Andre Borschberg.
It was Borschberg who flew into Kalaeloa last July, and he will next take the controls on the next leg across the US mainland.
The pair's intention is to reach New York by the start of June, to begin preparations for an Atlantic crossing.
Assuming this is completed successfully, it should then be a relatively straightforward run back to the "finish line" in Abu Dhabi.
Piccard and Borschberg have been working on the Solar Impulse project for more than a decade.
They first trialled a smaller plane, taking it on a trans-America crossing in 2013.
The version of the vehicle they currently fly is considerably bigger.
Its wingspan is wider than a 747 jumbo jet, and, yet, it weighs only 2.3 tonnes.
Because the prop-driven craft moves so slowly, mission legs can take several days and nights of continuous flight.
This means Piccard and Borschberg - whoever is at the controls - have to stay alert for nearly all of the time they are airborne.
They are permitted only catnaps of up to 20 minutes - in the same way a single-handed, round-the-world yachtsman would catch small periods of sleep.
They also have to endure the physical discomfort of being confined in a cockpit that measures just 3.8 cubic metres in volume - not a lot bigger than a public telephone box.
But Borschberg says the experience so far has been exhilarating.
"An experimental plane is a living creation," he told BBC News.
"Each flight you do brings new learning that you can use to improve the quality, reliability and performance of the aeroplane."
LEG 1: 9 March. Abu Dhabi (UAE) to Muscat (Oman) - 772km; 13 Hours 1 Minute

In Wales, 56% of GPs either planned on reducing their hours or quitting during the next five years, a poll by the Royal College of GPs (RCGP) found.
When the long hours, intensity and pressure got too much for Dr Rachael Watson, 48, she quit her surgery to become a baker and part-time GP locum.
She was about to become a partner in a GP practice in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, when the reality of what she was about to commit to hit her.
"I felt like I was going to jump into a black hole where my family life and personal life would get swallowed up," said Dr Watson.
"I never wanted to give being a GP up, I wanted something to run in parallel to get a bit more balance.
"When I started there was time to speak to the other GPs to discuss complicated issues, but now that has gone.
"On one day I worked out I had some kind of contact with 107 patients. That's seven minutes a patient."
The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) in Wales has pointed to a "desperate workplace crisis" with too many GPs leaving on the one hand and a slump in the young medical graduates looking to train as GPs.
As doctors retire, six GP partnerships in north Wales have already had to be taken over by the local health board.
Dr Watson said the long hours and stresses placed on GPs are putting off young doctors from going into the job.
"You work exceedingly long days, which can be 12-and-a-half hours long," said Dr Watson.
"I was doing two-and-a-half days, and on the days I was doing half days I started at 8.30am and finished at 3pm. That's a part of general practice.
"Mine was a generation of GPs who just get on and do it, the new generation of GPs can see that a life and work balance is really important.
"But it is not just the long days, it is the intensity and pressure on those ten minute appointments. There is no time for reflection. Some of the decisions you make there were difficult and there was no time for that level of consideration.
"There is so little time to discuss or reflect. There is very little time to deal with the sadness you come across as a GP, and you end up taking more home with you than is healthy.
"Part of the thing I loved about being a GP was really listening to patients and feeling that they had been listened to and sorted out and treating them as I would want my family to be treated. But if you do that you end up going home late and being tired."
Now Dr Watson does one-and-a-half days as a GP locum and runs a business teaching bread baking.
"I have always loved food, and my sister taught me how to bake bread when I was a teenager," said Dr Watson.
"But I really enjoy being a locum too. I don't have to do any of the paperwork, I'm finished by 6.30pm rather than 8pm or 9pm. I go in and do my job and the enjoyment has returned.
"Now I have the freedom to go in and be a really nice GP."
Born in New Zealand, Maitland can play on the wing or at full-back and qualifies to play for Scotland through both of his grandfathers.
A three-year deal has been agreed, with a medical and visa pending.
He will be a fantastic addition to our squad
"We're delighted to be welcoming a player of Sean Maitland's calibre to Glasgow Warriors," head coach Gregor Townsend told the Warriors website.
"The back three is an area of the team where we already have a number of excellent options, and Sean will provide a further layer of quality as we enter another busy phase of the season."
At New Zealand Under-19 and Under-20 level, Maitland won the World Cup and IRB Junior World Championship, respectively.
He has also represented the Canterbury provincial side and New Zeland Maori.
"His try-scoring record in Super Rugby [24 tries in four years] speaks for itself, and he's also a player who has a big appetite for self-improvement," added Townsend.
"He will be a fantastic addition to our squad and will, I'm sure, be very popular with our supporters.
"It's another indication of the increasing profile of Glasgow Warriors that a player of Sean's ability and ambition sees us as a club where he can continue to progress."
The five have been charged with "participating in the activities of a terrorist group", the prosecutor's office told the AFP news agency.
Officials had said there was an "imminent" threat from suspected jihadists to kill police officers.
Earlier, Belgium's government announced tough new measures to tackle terrorism.
Eric Van Der Sypt, an official at the prosecutors' office, told AFP that three of the five charged suspects were still in custody while the other two had been conditionally released. The rest of the 13 who had been detained in the raids would not be prosecuted, he added.
Details of the raids came as police in France said they had arrested 12 people over attacks in Paris last week, and German officials said they had detained two men in raids against a group suspected of planning an attack in Syria.
The head of Europol, Rob Wainwright, told the BBC that the operations highlighted the complex nature of the terrorist threat across Europe.
"We're dealing with multiple thousands of potential terrorists," he told the BBC World Service.
He said it was hard for police to identify plans because suspects were "working in a self-radicalised way very often, not necessarily under any command and control structure".
In Belgium, prosecutor Thierry Werts told reporters that guns, munitions and explosives, as well as police uniforms and a large amount of money, were seized during the overnight raids.
Mr Van Der Sypt added: "The investigation... has shown that these people had the intention to kill several policemen in the street and at police commissariats [police stations].
"The operation was meant to dismantle a terrorist cell... but also the logistics network behind it," he said.
Protective measures would be put in place at police buildings, he said.

Officials in Belgium are well aware of the threat posed by jihadists. In May last year four people were gunned down at the Jewish Museum in Brussels. Mehdi Nemmouche, a 29-year-old Frenchman who returned from Syria, is due to stand trial for the attack.
The country's largest ever terror case is due to conclude in Antwerp next month. More than 40 members of the now-disbanded group, Sharia4Belgium, are accused of recruiting and radicalising dozens of young men to fight in Syria.
Officials say up to 350 Belgian citizens have travelled to Syria and Iraq. The Belgian security services fear radicalised fighters could return home to launch a terror attack. The government says it will toughen up anti-terror laws, but officials acknowledge it's impossible to prevent all attacks.
No link had been established with last week's attacks in Paris, Mr Van Der Sypt said, adding that Belgium would seek the extradition of the two suspects in France.
"I can confirm that we started this investigation before the attacks in Paris," he said.
Last week, gunmen in Paris attacked the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a kosher supermarket and police officers, killing 17 people in the French capital.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel thanked the French authorities for detaining the suspects in France.
He told the public there was no need to panic, and that his government would "take measures" to ensure the safety of civilians.
The government said it would strengthen its anti-terror legislation and policies. New measures would include:
Gilles de Kerchove, a counter-terrorism co-ordinator for the EU, told the BBC he was "not surprised" there were plans for attacks in Belgium, because the country had "suffered in a way from the high number of people going to Syria and Iraq" to fight.
Belgian officials say 300-350 people have left Belgium to fight with Islamic militant groups in Syria and Iraq.
Among European countries, Belgium is thought to have the highest number of citizens per capita who have gone fight in Syria.
The suspects shot dead on Thursday had returned from the country, police said. They had shot at police "for several minutes" before being killed, prosecutors added.
The terror threat level in Belgium has been raised to three - the second highest.
Some Jewish schools in Antwerp and Brussels were closed on Friday, after they were informed that they could be potential targets, Belgian newspaper Joods Actueel reported.
The Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper said air strikes had been used in the response to the flare-up in Shan state, near the Chinese border.
The BBC's Myanmar correspondent, Jonah Fisher, says it is the heaviest fighting in at least two years.
It comes as the government tries to sign a peace deal with rebel groups.
There are reports that thousands of people have been leaving the area to escape the fighting.
China said on Tuesday that some people had crossed over into its southern Yunnan province, and that they were being looked after.

The Kokang are a Han Chinese ethnic group, and their armed wing a remnant of the Burmese Communist Party which fragmented in 1989.
For years they have run a largely autonomous strip of land on Myanmar's north-eastern border with China.
This dramatic upsurge in fighting appears to have been triggered by the return of one of their leaders - Phone Kya Shin - from five years of exile in China.
In 2009, Phone Kya Shin was forced to flee by Burmese troops - but he has now returned promising to restore the rights of the Kokang people.
The newspaper said there had been at least 13 separate clashes in the area in recent days with the Kokang rebels, known as the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA).
Rebels attacked army bases close to Laukai, capital of the Kokang area of Shan state, it said. At least 47 soldiers were killed and more than 70 injured.
The report did not indicate any rebel casualty figures, but the Irrawaddy newspaper, based in Thailand, quoted the general secretary of MNDAA as saying two rebels had died and one was injured.
Htun Myat Lin said up to 10,000 people had fled as the military carried out air strikes using jets and helicopters.
Myanmar has been trying for decades to contain conflicts involving ethnic rebel movements seeking greater autonomy, largely in Shan and Kachin states.
President Thein Sein has been pushing for peace deals with these groups, and while many have come into the political fold sporadic outbreaks of violence have continued.
On Thursday, he held talks with the leaders of about a dozen armed groups in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, including the MNDAA.
But they ended with no deal reached beyond a commitment to negotiate further.

Hashtag United were only officially formed six months ago, but are pioneering an alternative way of consuming football that's a far cry from the sport's elite.
The club have taken concepts used in electronic gaming and brought them to 'real-life' football - throwing in a shot of Sunday league camaraderie for good measure.
However, this side is far removed from the cold changing rooms, unpredictable playing surfaces and fixture postponements associated with the grassroots game played by thousands on weekend mornings.
Hashtag don't play in a conventional league, but have already appeared at Wembley, almost signed Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa and earned the chance to feature on the new Football Manager game.
So what exactly is the attraction of watching a bunch of guys you have never heard of playing against teams you never knew existed?
Hashtag's games are filmed by a four-man camera crew then edited and posted on YouTube. They play matches that are almost exhibition in style, using video games as an inspiration for applying league formats, incentives and challenges.
It's working, because the London-based club already boast a social media following bigger than some English Football League sides.
Their Instagram account topped 100,000 followers this month, they have over 41,000 on Twitter and a recent team 'penalty challenge' was watched by more than one million people on YouTube.
But to understand the club's appeal, you have to first acknowledge the background of creator and captain Spencer Owen.
Owen is a YouTube celebrity in his own right with 1.5 million people subscribing to his channel, Spencer FC. It was his idea that all Hashtag's games, and some training exercises, would be filmed with the purpose of being shown in highlights packages online.
"Using my channel and existing fanbase as a starting point certainly helped," said the 27-year-old, who arranges the matches.
"Creating a football team with games that play out on YouTube has always been a big ambition for me and this year felt like the right time to finally give it a go."
His own journey to relative YouTube stardom began eight years ago, making video content in his bedroom at university in Reading, and in 2013 he turned that into a full-time career.
So why does he believe this recipe has been a success?
"There's been a lot of support for 'real-life' football content on YouTube for a while and it's great to see," added Owen, whose other projects include the popular Wembley Cup.
"It's certainly an alternative to the business-driven Premier League with £100m transfer fees and £100 match tickets."

An audacious bid for now-Wycombe forward Akinfenwa aside, Hashtag United's side has been cobbled together from old school friends and university mates.
Facing teams including Google, a Comedians XI and a Manchester City staff team, Hashtag often play in top-flight stadiums and against players ranging from ex-pros such as Graeme Le Saux, Ray Parlour and Paul Dickov to British stand-up comic Omid Djalili.
"We don't pretend to be top-quality footballers," added Owen. "We all come from different backgrounds and our squad is made up of players with varying abilities.
"We are just a group of down-to-earth guys who enjoy playing football with each other and we're loving some of the incredible things we've got to do together."
Average Joes or not, you may end up signing one of the Hashtag United squad on computer simulation game Football Manager next season.
"The fact that we are all going to be in the new Football Manager game is incredible because we all grew up playing it," said Owen. "That was an awesome reward for defeating the FM team.
"Akinfenwa is a good friend of mine and for a while the deal looked like it might happen. When he did his Zlatan-style announcement about signing for us it certainly turned a few heads."
While a traditional league system is confined to structures and regulations set by football's governing bodies, Hashtag have used a set-up similar to one you might find on a computer game.
Electronic gaming is an incredibly popular market and e-sports, where players compete on video games against one another, is a big-money business.
In fact, while all Hashtag's 'real-life' players are amateurs, the club employs a professional Fifa player, Harry Hesketh, with Premier League clubs such as West Ham doing the same.
Back in the (almost) real world, Owen has created a divisional set-up that suits the club's needs. Each 'division' lasts 10 games, while promotion and relegation depends on Hashtag hitting a certain points target.
It's like moving up or down levels on a video game, with Hashtag essentially the only side in the division.
"We've kind of re-imagined the way a football league structure can work," added Owen, who grew up in Essex.
"We've taken a lot of influences from popular football gaming titles in the way that we've built accomplishments and challenges into our content and our own divisional set up is similar to one you might find when playing games such as Fifa 16 online."
Hashtag are not the only side to have built a YouTube following. Others such as Sidemen and Palmers FC also exist in the online world having arrived there via varying routes.
While Hashtag provide a well-polished production, for Palmers the football came first and the YouTube videos followed.
The Thurrock-based friends played together as youngsters and decided to reform as a Sunday league team three years ago. In Matt Smith, or Smiv, they already had a YouTuber in their ranks.
"It was all about having a bit of a reunion every Sunday," explained Smith. "We don't see each other much now as we've all got jobs and commitments, so that's pretty much our time together as mates.
"The first season we didn't film, but the next season I kicked off the YouTube channel because, with the amount of stuff that happened in that original season, I wished we had got it on camera.
"In our first game filming we scored from a corner, so I thought 'we've got a good series going on here'. It wasn't until about half a year in when people started cottoning on to it and sharing it. There was a big fight on the pitch and it went viral. Ever since then it's gained traction."
Smith, a video producer by trade, turned his YouTube channel into a full-time job last year and Palmers' games - recorded from the halfway line on one of his old cameras - rack up hundreds of thousands of hits.
"It's nitty gritty, it's wet and muddy - we don't really care about the look of it, it's capturing as much as possible, really," he added. "I think that's why it works, because it's so simple.
"Sometimes the view's not great, sometimes people get in the way, you miss a goal or the battery runs out. There's no script to it either, we plonk the camera down and whatever happens, happens."
There is a hope that traditional grassroots sides will be able to adopt some of these aspects and develop their own highlights packages to share on social media platforms, whether that be to increase fan engagement or analyse individual performances.
Pitchero is a company that provides websites for grassroots sports clubs, and is currently used by more than 4.2 million people each month.
The company is now encouraging users to work with one of its new technology packages to record live matches and take 30-second, shareable highlight clips.
Pitchero's CEO Mark Fletcher believes there is huge potential in developing club-generated content.
"Sport is inherently engaging. It's why people watch sport in the first place - in the hope of witnessing something amazing," he said. "These amazing things happen at all levels of sport."
Smith isn't sure it is for everyone, although he does hope other teams will get on board because "football is a good laugh and a good way of sharing different things".
He says the current Palmers team has "another year or two max" after this season, but is toying with ideas of how to prolong the brand.
"I'm yet to see a proper Sunday league team do it properly," he said. "People pop up, but not consistently, every single week. I think it's quite rare for a video producer to be part of a football team.
"That's what I'm trying to do now, future-proof it and work out where we go when the 29, 30-year-olds hang their boots up and start families.
"One route would possibly be to start a football academy off the back of it, because there is so much interest and a lot of youngsters want to play just to play for Palmers - they just want to wear the kit."
As for Hashtag United, who have also enjoyed success selling club shirts and memorabilia to fans, Spencer is confident the club will outlive the playing careers of him and his team-mates.
"As a club, I think Hashtag United has huge potential with where it could go in the future," he added.
"We've got some very exciting plans to take things up a gear in terms of opposition and challenges. We're only just getting started."
Basharat Hussain, 39, one of seven defendants, denies sixteen offences including rape, indecent assault and false imprisonment.
He told his defence barrister he had been "boyfriend and girlfriend" to three of the witnesses.
They had all claimed he had sexually exploited them when they young.
Mr Hussain was giving evidence at the beginning of the defence's case at Sheffield Crown Court.
A total of five men and two women are charged with 62 historic child grooming offences against 12 girls over a 10-year period.
Arshid Hussain, 40, High Street, East Cowick, Goole, faces 30 charges, including five counts of rape.
Qurban Ali, 53, Clough Road, Rotherham, faces four charges, including rape and conspiracy to rape.
Majid Bostan, 37, Ledsham Road, Rotherham faces one charge of indecent assault.
Sajid Bostan, 38, Broom Avenue, Rotherham faces seven charges, including four counts of rape,.
Basharat Hussain, 39, of no fixed abode, faces 15 charges including two counts of rape.
Karen MacGregor, 58, Barnsley Road, Wath, South Yorkshire, faces three charges, including conspiracy to rape.
Shelley Davies, 40, Wainwright Road, Kimberworth Park, Rotherham, faces two charges, including false imprisonment.
Earlier the Judge, Sarah Wright, directed the jury to find Shelley Davies not guilty of one charge of conspiracy to rape because the she said there was not enough evidence to prove guilt.
All seven deny the charges against them and the trial continues.
The dance show had an average of 6.5 million viewers while the ITV programme, shown on a Friday for the first time, had 5.8 million.
It was one of the lowest X Factor viewing figures since the show's launch in 2004.
However, it was still double ITV's usual figure for that time on a Friday.
ITV said it had broadcast a Friday edition of the show because its Sunday schedule was "too full" to show the full "boot camp" stage.
The programme is now being screened over three consecutive nights.
The channel said when viewers from its +1 catch-up channel were taken into account, its peak was 6.6 million.
The BBC has not said how many people watched Strictly on the iPlayer.
This year's X Factor figures have continued a downward trend for the show over the past three years, despite the return of lead judge Simon Cowell.
The two shows, which have always had a rivalry, were also up against the launch of a new series of Channel 4's hit Gogglebox, which pulled in 2.7 million viewers.
Santhosh Rajan was found not guilty after the judge at Birmingham Crown ordered the jury to reach the verdict.
Mr Rajan had been accused of killing Iris Teale, who died 16 days after breaking her leg at Aston Court Nursing Home in Little Aston, in October 2011.
Mr Rajan, of Walsall, said: "I have maintained my innocence throughout the course of this lengthy investigation."
The 39 year old said there were "no winners in this case" and expressed his "great sympathy for the terrible ordeal Mrs Teale's family continue to suffer".
The court had heard Mrs Teale's care plan meant she should have only been moved by two people using a hoist.
She sustained her leg fracture after the limb was subjected to a twisting motion on 8 October 2011, which "contributed to the death in a significant way", the jury was told.
At the start of the trial, jurors were told Mr Rajan claimed Mrs Teale was already injured when he entered her room at about 22:10 GMT, and he did not know how she had sustained her fracture.
She died in hospital on 24 October.
The data from the European Union's drug monitoring body found the capital slightly ahead of Amsterdam.
While London comes top for cocaine flushed down the toilet, Amsterdam's drains contain greater amounts of cannabis.
The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction data comes from sampling in more than 50 cities.
The results, which take into account the size of each city's population, show that on average, drug users in London relieved themselves of 737mg of cocaine per 1,000 people during the week in 2014.
The amount of cocaine in London's waste water peaks on a Friday and Saturday, but then begins to fall away dramatically on Sunday and into Monday.
737mg
Average daily amount of cocaine per 1,000 people found in London sewage during 2014
716mg in Amsterdam
632mg in Antwerp
0.2mg Smallest amount found in Jvaskyla in Finland
The amount of cocaine found in both Antwerp and Amsterdam continues to rise into Sunday, potentially suggesting that the drug's peak consumption in these cities comes or continues later into the weekend than in the UK. A detailed analysis of weekend waste water shows that Amsterdam ranks higher than London over Saturday and Sunday alone.
Scientists around the world have been increasingly monitoring waste water in cities so they can draw a more accurate picture of drug consumption over the year.
The figures for London tally with the monitoring agency's wider research which indicates that the UK has the highest rate of cocaine use among young adults in Europe, It said that around 4% of people aged between 15 and 34 had said they had taken the drug in the 12 months leading up to the 2013/14 report. While there are fluctuations from year to year, most studies indicate that most drug use is in decline.
The scientists tested for five different drugs and found that Amsterdam came top of the league table for both ecstasy and cannabis. Oslo in Norway and Dresden in Germany had by far the highest amounts of methamphetamine in sewage - while London had no trace at all.
The annual 2015 report from the EMCDDA warns that while there were hundreds of websites openly selling so-called "legal highs", drug agencies had a poor understanding of the trade on the dark web - the parts of the internet which are not accessible through standard searches.
"Cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, are used to facilitate anonymous transactions, and stealth packaging is used to facilitate transportation of small quantities of drugs through established commercial channels," said the report.
"Evidence suggests that many illicit drug purchases made on the deep web are intended for resale. Another development relates to drug supply and the sharing of drugs or drug experiences via social media, including mobile apps. This area remains both poorly understood and difficult to monitor."
"Together, the growth of online and virtual drug markets poses major challenges to law enforcement and drug control policies. The fact that manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, website-hosting and payment processing services may all be based in different countries makes online drug markets particularly difficult to control."
The workers are long gone but the debate about the pension mess that was left behind and the corporate culture which let it all happen has carried on.
Sir Philip was vilified by public and politicians alike as a mascot for corporate greed and he featured as a bogeyman in speeches by the prime minister.
Throughout, Sir Philip promised to "sort", in his words, the pension problem.
Those close to him were confident he would make good on that and today he did improve the lot of the pensioners.
Although this settlement was described as voluntary, he was being vigorously pursued by the Pensions Regulator and faced months or even years more in dispute.
The regulator will see this as establishing an important precedent for getting former owners to pay up when pension schemes go bad.
He has not enjoyed the last three years one bit and has not said anything publicly today.
Privately he says he wants to return to being a private businessman.
In truth, he was never really that, he was not shy about living the high life quite publicly.
According to the Sunday Times Rich List this sum represents just over 10% of his net worth.
His reputation and his knighthood were probably worth that to him. Whether he can hang on to either is still not - in his words - "sorted".
The clip shows a singer on a float pushed by four black men in khakis, as a white crowd dances around them in the Canadian city.
The video uploaded on Facebook was captioned (in French): "I'm not sure the organisers of the parade understood the concept of diversity."
The organisers called the outcry "unjust" and "exaggerated".
Saint Jean Baptiste Day, known as Fête Nationale or National Holiday, is marked throughout the Quebec province every 24 June, as a celebration of Francophone history and culture.
The Montreal event was themed on Quebec's history.
Maxime Laporte, president of the Société de St-Jean Baptiste de Montréal, told the CBC news network that it was a coincidence black men were pushing the float.

The volunteers had been recruited from two local organisations: the Association for School Retention and the the Louis-Joseph-Papineau High School Sports Team.
"We need to look at this situation as a whole," Mr Laporte said. "It was a wonderful parade that represented [Montreal's] diversity. People need to make a better judgment call in these circumstances."
Local resident Félix Brouillet shot the video, which has been shared more than 12,000 times, attracting many outraged comments.
The Association of Muslims and Arabs for Secularism in Quebec also complained that it saw only black people - plus a couple of Asians and Arabs - pushing the floats.
"What do we say to the black child who is happy to go and celebrate the national holiday?" it asked on Facebook.
However, school football coach Steve Lubin, who knows some of the students participating parade, told CBC he thought the issue was overblown.
"When kids work hard, I don't see colour. I see participants. It just so happens that my kids were working hard and that white people happened to be sitting on the float. If it was the opposite, would we be having this discussion? I'm not so sure."
In statement on the festival's Facebook page, the organisers said the parade's eco-friendly vehicles were not motorised and so had to be pushed along.
"It goes without saying that these young people - who were proud to participate in the event - were not chosen according to the colour of their skin," it said.
They say it was their most diverse Fête Nationale to date.
Sinn Féin reiterated on Saturday that it would not go back into government with Mrs Foster as first minister until her role in a botched heating scheme was "cleared up".
Political talks will begin on Monday.
Mrs Foster set up the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme in 2012.
It was designed to encourage businesses to switch from fossil fuels to more environmentally friendly energy sources. But subsidies were overly generous and initially there was no cap on the payments.
It later emerged the scheme was expected to cost the Northern Ireland tax payer £490m.
Deputy First Minster Martin McGuinness, from Sinn Féin, resigned from his post in January after Mrs Foster rejected his calls for her to temporarily stand aside as first minister while an investigation into the scheme is carried out.
His decision to quit led to a snap election which saw Sinn Féin increase its vote, cutting the DUP's lead to one seat.
Mr Robinson told BBC 5Live's Stephen Nolan show: "I'm not ruling it out on the basis that if it was a decision for Arlene to take and one she made herself then the party would discuss that and consider it."
He added that it had been a "difficult election" and a "bad day for unionism".
Mr Adams hailed the election result as a "watershed" moment but said Sinn Féin was making contact with all party leaders to discuss the return of power-sharing.
He said the party's call for Mrs Foster to step aside during an investigation was "not a precondition" to Sinn Féin entering talks with the DUP.
Under the terms of the 1998 Good Friday agreement, unionists and nationalists must agree to share power for devolved government to function.
"We have never said that Arlene Foster has to step aside before negotiations happen. Arlene Foster is the leader of the DUP and we accept that absolutely," Mr Adams told reporters.
"The first position that we put to them [the DUP] was that Arlene Foster should stand aside until there was a preliminary report.
"We're now being told that there's not going to be a preliminary report - where all this comes from, none of us know, the inquiry hasn't set out its mode of operation."
Mr Adams said the inquiry team "might decide that it could bring forward a preliminary report" or deal with the issues "in modular form", but added the inquiry could also take up to a year.
He pointed to Mrs Foster's predecessor Peter Robinson, who stepped aside twice until to allow preliminary inquiries into allegations against him.
"Our position is very, very straightforward. We will not be consenting to Arlene Foster being the first minister until this issue is cleared up," the Sinn Féin president said.
There is now a three-week deadline for unionists and nationalists to form a power-sharing government.
The Sinn Féin delegation will be led into talks on Monday by its northern leader, Michelle O'Neill.
She said: "The task is not easy, but it is achievable if people come at it with the right attitude."
The nationalist SDLP also overtook the Ulster Unionist Party for the first time, meaning Stormont no longer has a unionist majority.
UUP leader Mike Nesbitt announced he was stepping down as a result of his party's disappointing performance.
If a government cannot be formed within the next three weeks, under law, another election will be called.
Ultimately, if no power-sharing government is formed, devolved power could return to the UK parliament at Westminster for the first time in a decade.
Secretary of State James Brokenshire said the election had demonstrated the desire by the overwhelming majority of voters for inclusive, devolved government.
"Everyone now has a shared responsibility to engage intensively in the short period of time that is available to us, to ensure that a strong and stable administration is established," he said.
The BBC News NI website will carry all the latest on the election throughout the weekend.
Footage of the mass rendition of The Killers' song Mr Brightside has chalked up hundreds of thousands of hits on social media.
The videos were filmed after the funeral of Ger 'Farmer' Foley on 24 March.
The band tweeted that Brian O'Sullivan, who led the singing, could step-in for lead singer Brandon Flowers.
"Brian O'Sullivan, if Brandon ever needs a fill-in, we're calling you!," the band said.
"May we all have friends like this #farmersrule."
The sing-a-long happened at Falveys Pub, Killorglin, County Kerry after Mr Foley had been buried that day.
The 45-year-old had cystic fibrosis.
The video shows Mr O'Sullivan, perched on the bar counter, encouraging everyone to sing with the track before taking off his shirt and crowd-surfing across the pub.
Before launching into the song, Mr O'Sullivan told the crowd: "He was the salt of the earth, he will never be replaced and we will remember him forever in our lives.
"I think that the most appropriate song that you can get for this man is Mr Brightside."
Peter Teahan, who filmed one of the videos, said Mr Foley was a very popular member of the community.
"It certainly wasn't a normal Thursday night in Falveys," he said, "A lot of people had been getting up to sing, one person had a guitar and did Raglan Road.
"Brian was a good friend of Ger's, and that was one of Ger's favourite songs, so he got everyone going.
"Most people in the area knew Ger, he was very popular. It was a very good send-off for him," he said.
Hamilton, on slower tyres, was second fastest on day two of the second pre-season test, behind Valtteri Bottas.
Asked if Mercedes were without rivals, Hamilton said: "I don't think so. Ferrari and Williams look competitive."
But he admitted: "That's what I've been told. I've not looked at a single lap time anyone else has done so I'd be guessing."
Despite his pace, Hamilton said he was not comfortable with his car on his fastest lap at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Wednesday.
The world champion said: "I'm not feeling great. Those tyres are not particularly good. I've been pounding around doing multiple laps on long runs, which is not the most exciting.
"To get to light fuel is always an exciting feeling, but it's always new when you get back to pushing for a single lap.
"The car is in a different ballpark, not the right one at the moment, and that's what we need to work on."
And he reiterated comments he made during the first test last week that he did not like the new design of Pirelli tyres for this year.
"Generally I wish we had last year's tyres because these ones aren't as good," Hamilton said. "It was a good experience to get into the softer tyres but I have some work to do."
Hamilton achieved his childhood ambition of winning a third world title last year but said his determination to win was a strong as ever.
"You don't need to find new motivation," he said. "You use the same motivation you've used all your life."
And he said he was impatient for the season to start.
"Testing is starting to get a bit dull because it is never the most exciting part," Hamilton said. "I am ready to go racing.
"But it feels great to be back in the car. The strength in the team has grown even further and that is super-motivating for the season."
Renault's Kevin Magnussen was third fastest on the super-soft tyre, with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel fourth on the medium.
And there was further encouragement for McLaren-Honda, who struggled badly last season. After Fernando Alonso set the third fastest time on Tuesday, team-mate Jenson Button was fifth quickest on Wednesday, with a time 0.069secs faster than the Spaniard managed.
It is hard to make exact predictions about form based on pre-season testing because the teams do not reveal the specification in which their cars are running.
However, there is some evidence from Wednesday's running that Ferrari might be close enough to give Mercedes a run for their money this year.
Ignoring the unknown of how much fuel the cars had on board, Hamilton's lap was comfortably quicker than Bottas's - the Briton was only 0.361 seconds slower than the Finn despite the super-soft being about 0.7secs faster.
As for Vettel, he was a second slower than Hamilton on a tyre reckoned to be about 0.8secs slower - a margin of only 0.2secs.
Vettel said: "We are on our plan. We had some days where we would like to run a bit more but in the end this is what the test is for and I think we are pretty happy where we are."
The German said he was "not concerned" about the fact Ferrari were showing worse reliability than Mercedes at this stage.
"Obviously these things you don't want to happen," he said. "But if they happen here it is not a problem; if they happen in a couple of weeks it is a bit worse."
The first race of the season is in Australia on 18-20 March.

The Welsh government pays the majority of Welsh students' tuition fees, wherever they choose to go in the UK.
On Monday, Universities Wales will publish its manifesto ahead of next year's Assembly elections calling for the current tuition fee grant to be replaced by a means tested grant.
The Welsh government said its policy was an "investment in young people".
University Wales's chairman Prof Colin Riordan said means testing would be fairer.
He told BBC Wales' Sunday Politics programme: "You could decide to spend the resource equally and thinly or you can say 'let's focus on the areas of most need' - so those people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, perhaps, or areas which need support such as expensive subjects".
Universities have long argued the grant means tens of millions of pounds leaves the higher education sector in Wales and goes to the coffers of their counterparts in England.
Prof Riordan added: "Means testing would mean that those students who really need support would get it.
"Those who are more able to support themselves would be able to do that. That's surely fair."
Earlier this month the UK government's Universities Minister Jo Johnson said institutions in England would be allowed to raise their fees in future if they can demonstrate a high quality of teaching.
But Prof Riordan said it "would add cost to the tuition fee grant in ways that could become quite unsustainable".
The tuition fee grant has faced criticism from many involved with Higher Education in Wales.
Earlier this year, the head of the body responsible for allocating funding to universities in Wales said the Welsh government needs to change how it funds students from Wales to avoid universities here falling behind their English counterparts.
In 2013, BBC Wales revealed the body representing universities here had concerns they were losing out compared to their counterparts in England because of the tuition fee grant.
BBC Wales has also revealed concerns expressed by the finance directors of universities in Wales that the grant left the sector "with an uncertain financial future".
In November 2013, the Welsh government announced a review of higher education funding and student finance arrangements in Wales, which is chaired by the Scottish academic, Professor Ian Diamond.
Prof Diamond will make some of his thoughts public later this year, with the full review expected to be published after the Assembly elections in May next year.
A Welsh government spokesperson said: "Our tuition fee policy is an investment in young people.
"Over the course of a three year undergraduate degree, current students from Wales are around £17,000 better off than their English counterparts.
"The Diamond review of higher education and student finance in Wales is ongoing. Once published, it will inform the next steps for higher education funding in Wales."
Wind turbines alone provided enough electricity to supply 95% of Scottish homes.
WWF Scotland analysed renewables data provided by WeatherEnergy.
It also found that in several parts of Scotland, homes fitted with solar PV panels had enough sunshine to generate more than 100% of the electricity needs of an average household.
Wind turbines provided 863,495 MWh of electricity to the National Grid during May, an increase of almost 20% compared to May 2016 when wind energy provided 692,896 MWh.
Overall the data showed that wind generated enough output to supply 100% or more of Scottish homes on 11 of the 31 days in May.
Scotland's total electricity consumption, including homes, business and industry, last month was 1,857,566 MWh. Wind power generated the equivalent of 46% of Scotland's entire electricity needs for the month.
Dr Sam Gardner, acting director of WWF Scotland, said: "Despite the disappointment of last week's announcement that President Trump is to pull the US out of the Paris Agreement, the global energy revolution is unstoppable and continues at pace here in Scotland.
"May proved to be another great month for renewables with the wind sector meeting 95% of the electricity needs of Scotland's households.
"On one day in particular, 15 May, output from turbines generated enough electricity to power 190% of homes or 99% of Scotland's total electricity demand. Month after month, renewables play a vital role in cutting carbon emissions and powering the Scottish economy."
Homes with solar PV (photovoltaic) panels generated over 100% of average household electricity needs in Aberdeen, Dumfries, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Lerwick.
The sunniest place was Lerwick on the Shetland Islands, which generated 114% of an average household electricity demand. It was followed closely by Dundee with 112%.
Dr Gardner added: "Thanks to a super sunny month, solar was on sizzling form and could have met more than 100% of household electricity demand in towns and cities across Scotland."
There was also enough sunshine to generate more than 90% of an average household's hot water needs with solar hot water panels in Aberdeen, Dumfries, Dundee, Lerwick, Perth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Stirling.
Karen Robinson, of WeatherEnergy, said: "Scotland again managed to pump out clean power by the bucket load during May.
"While people might not be too surprised to learn solar power output was up in May, they might be surprised to discover that wind power output was also pretty impressive."
Across the UK, solar panels provided a record amount of power on 26 May, when the National Grid reported a 8.5 GWh peak over a half-hour from midday, almost a quarter of total demand. | BBC One's new show Let It Shine narrowly beat ITV's The Voice UK on Saturday night, attracting an average of 6.3 million viewers.

Sales of the caffeine-fuelled wine made at Buckfast Abbey in Devon make up most of the income to its charitable trust.
A Scottish sheriff said last week there was a "very definite association between Buckfast and violence".
The abbey said it was "saddened" by the "judge's opinion" that a "small number of people in Scotland are not enjoying Buckfast in a responsible way".
Figures from the Charity Commission showed Buckfast Abbey Trust's income was £8.8m in 2014-15, the latest year for which figures are available.
More on the 'violent wine', and other news
The caffeinated wine, sometimes known as Bucky, has been made at the Benedictine abbey since the 1920s.
The abbey trust is a shareholder in the wine's distributor and seller, J Chandler, based in Hampshire, and gets a royalty fee for every bottle sold.
The monks have invested millions of pounds in the restoration of the abbey and visitor facilities and have also earmarked £3m for updating its 33-bedroom hotel and its conference centre.
The abbey declined to give figures for income directly from wine sales, saying it was "commercially sensitive" and said the hotel and conference centre "also contributed to the increase in income".
It also said the trust "strives to work with J Chandler and Co to ensure that the tonic wine is marketed and distributed responsibly".
"The majority of people who drink the tonic wine do so responsibly," it said, adding that it supported charities such as Drinkaware.
Last week Dundee Sheriff Court heard about an attack on a boy by a teenager who had downed two-and-a-half bottles of the caffeinated tonic wine.
Sheriff Alastair Brown told the court: "Someone who drinks two-and-a-half bottles of Buckfast is drinking something which is often seen as a feature of cases involving violence.
"I'm aware that the monks of Buckfast Abbey advertise this as something to be taken in moderation.
"The fact is that some people drink far too much of it and get violent."
Between 2010 and 2012, Strathclyde Police said Buckfast was mentioned in almost 6,500 crime reports.
Alcohol Focus Scotland, the national charity on preventing alcohol-related harm, said consumption of Buckfast was "very small" compared with overall alcohol consumption in Scotland.
But there was "increasing international evidence about the specific risks associated with caffeinated alcoholic drinks", said chief executive Alison Douglas.
"We know from police figures that Buckfast is mentioned in thousands of anti-social behaviour and crime reports in certain parts of the country," she said.
Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) said it was concerned a focus on caffeinated alcoholic drinks, and specifically Buckfast, "might encourage complacency about other products".
Eric Carlin, SHAAP director, said there was a "need for changes in drinking behaviours of many people across all of our communities".
Police declined to comment further.
The 23-year-old returns to the Scottish Championship after a season with the Edinburgh club in the top flight after switching from Queen of the South.
"It's a chance for Gavin to play regularly and continue his development," said Neilson.
"Hopefully he'll come back an even better player."
Reilly, who signed a three-year contract last summer, made 32 appearances for Hearts on their return to Scotland's top flight, scoring four goals, but more than half of those were as a substitute.
His departure from Tynecastle came as Hearts signed Robbie Muirhead on a one-year contract after the 20-year-old's release by Dundee United.
Neilson told his club website that Reilly would be playing in "an extremely competitive environment".
"It's a good move for Gavin," he said. "Dunfermline are a big club and will still be on a high after winning League One."
Dunfermline are likely to lose top scorer Faissal El-Bakhtaoui, the Moroccan 23-year-old being out of contract after rejecting a new deal at East End Park.
Pars manager Allan Johnston worked with Reilly when he was in charge of the Doonhamers and was delighted to be reunited with the striker.
"He's got pace and he's a finisher," he told Dunfermline's website.
"He played a lot of games under me and he's still got hunger and desire to do well. That's the type of player we're looking for.
"He's desperate to do well and I'm sure he'll be hungry to score more goals.
"He's proven at Championship level. I'm sure he'll be a big asset to us.
"It's a massive season for Dunfermline and for him."
About 30,000 local students received their 2016 exam results on Thursday.
Overall, the number of entries awarded A* to C grades in Northern Ireland increased by 0.4% to 79.1%.
That is much higher than the overall performance of students across the UK, where 66.9% of all entries achieved A* to C grades.
Northern Ireland entries achieving A* and A grades also improved on 2015, up by 0.5% to 29.1% and 9.3% of entries received the top A* grade, up from 9% in 2015.
There were also improvements in GCSE English results, but the Maths results worsened.
Girls continue to outperform boys across the UK, with the gap widening by 0.5% since 2015.x
While 75.3% of entries from boys achieved A* to C grades, slightly up from last year, 82.9% of entries from girls attracted those grades.
In 2016 the proportion of entries in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) grew again, meaning they now make up almost a third of all GCSEs taken.
There were also more students taking GCSEs in biology, chemistry and computing.
However, entries for most languages fell again in 2016, with declines in the number taking French, Spanish and Irish at GCSE.
Many of those getting their results will go on to further study in their schools or in FE colleges.
However a significant number of pupils, especially from disadvantaged areas, will leave school with few qualifications.
A four-storey building collapsed at Wood Flour Mills in Tunstall Road, Bosley, at 09:10 BST, with large fires breaking out, the fire service said.
The fire service said it was a "scene of devastation". A search team is due to go into the site at first light.
Cheshire East Council said the blast has left 50 workers without jobs.
Cheshire Police said 35 people on the premises were assessed at the scene with four people treated for breathing difficulties and another four people taken to hospitals in Birmingham, Merseyside and Stoke.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "A 29-year-old woman has sustained serious burns and blast injuries to her head, face, arms and chest."
She was taken by air ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
Cheshire Police's Assistant Chief Constable Guy Hindle said: "Four people remain unaccounted for and urban search and rescue teams are assessing the scene to see whether it is safe to go into the property to locate them.
"We are working with the four families."
Earlier, firefighters said they could not rule out further explosions.
Steve Barnes, from Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: "When we arrived it was a scene of devastation. The surrounding area is unsafe and hazardous to firefighters."
He said the crews were trying to make the area safe to be in a position to carry out any potential rescue.
Chief fire officer Paul Hancock said: "We are still dealing with four unaccounted people. We believe they are somewhere in the building.
"We will endeavour to deal with that issue in a few hours' time once we get the incident under full control."
A search team is planning to go into the site at first light on Saturday, but there are still pockets of the building on fire.
The building contains heating oil, kerosene, acetylene and asbestos. There is also a silo containing highly flammable wood flour used for making wood laminate flooring.
North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) sent six ambulances and two rapid response vehicles. An air ambulance was also at the scene.
An NWAS spokesperson said: "Two patients have been taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital and one patient has been taken to Whiston Hospital in Merseyside."
Emergency services said it was too early to ascertain what had caused the blaze.
Shift worker Patrick Jones, who clocked off his shift just over three hours before the blast, said: "I am still worried about my mates. There are four of them that are still missing."
He said he was not able to get through the cordon.
Police said smoke was drifting north east, with residents 15 miles away in Wildboarclough advised to close doors and windows.
More than 40 pupils at Bosley St Mary's C of E Primary School, which is about a mile from the explosion site, were kept inside the school building.
Raj Barard, headteacher, said: "We heard and we felt the explosion just after 09:00 BST. Police told us to keep the children indoors.
"It felt like an earthquake. We had our leavers service in the school instead of at the church over the road."
BBC Radio Manchester reporter Jonathan Ali
Six hours later, the smoke plume is still hanging over this factory.
At around 14:40 there was the brief sound of popping noises as things continued to explode.
This was a four-storey factory which, in the words of the fire service, has now collapsed to one storey.
Basically it has collapsed in on itself.
Sarah Nixon, from Bosley Cloud, said: "I live less than half a mile from the wood flour mill and the explosion sounded as if a car had just crashed into the house with a very deep bang.
"The explosion shook the whole house rattling windows and doors, just like an earthquake.
"The black and grey smoke plummeted up along with flames and has engulfed the valley below."
Electricity North West said power was cut to 165 homes in Bosley to "allow firefighters to carry out their work safely". Power has since returned to the majority of homes.
Angela Shuker, who lives one farm along from the wood treatment works, said: "Our doors in the house just banged. We could see the flames rising not far from us down the road from the mill."
Charli Alston, 18, was walking her dog when she witnessed the explosion.
She said: "I was walking down my drive and there was just a huge bang. It sounded like a thunder cloud, we didn't know what it was.
"We looked over and there were massive plumes of flames. Almost as high as the hill next to it."
A blaze broke out at the wood flour mill in 2012.

David Cameron said it was a "dangerous" issue for a prime minister "to dive into" but he wanted action.
Gulls reportedly killed a pet tortoise and a Yorkshire Terrier in two separate attacks in Cornwall in recent weeks.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said it recognised gulls were a nuisance but warned against any "knee-jerk reactions".
Speaking on a visit to Cornwall, Mr Cameron said: "I think a big conversation needs to happen about this and, frankly, I think the people we need to listen to are people who really understand this issue in Cornwall and the potential effect it is having."
It is illegal to injure or kill any species of gull or damage or destroy an active nest or its contents.
Gulls killed Yorkshire terrier Roo in Newquay last week and in May a Chihuahua puppy was killed in Honiton, Devon, according to a local newspaper.
The birds also swooped on tortoise Stig who died two days later from his injuries, according to his owner Jan Byrne, 43, from Liskeard.
A spokesman for the RSPB said the number of herring gulls had declined by more than half over the past 30 years.
He said: "We feel a long-term solution is to try and find a way of encouraging these birds to areas where they nest naturally and where they can be celebrated and not regarded as a nuisance."
The RSPB said any "big conversation" should involve local authorities, the public, the government and conservation groups.
Sims, 34, has captained her state New South Wales as well as her country, and is now classed as 'semi-professional'.
The deal coincides with the proposed launch of an Australian women's competition in 2017, and the World Cup to run alongside the men's tournament.
"It's a hugely exciting moment," Sims said. "I feel very privileged."
Sims is the sister of Warrington prop Ashton Sims and Newcastle Knights duo Tariq and Korbin Sims.
"It's so exciting to be in a position where we'll be considered semi-professional and to be paid to play the game that we love," she added.
Rega said it had asked Swiss prosecutors to investigate, but believed its staff were not involved.
The ex-F1 champion suffered a head injury in a skiing accident last December and was moved to a Swiss hospital last month.
His records were allegedly stolen and offered for sale to several newspapers.
Schumacher, 45, was transferred on 16 June from a hospital in the French city of Grenoble to Lausanne in Switzerland.
His medical documents were shared with the medical and rescue teams involved in planning his move, including Rega.
Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, said last month that the F1 ex-champion's medical files had been "clearly stolen" and were being offered for sale.
The records were apparently being offered to media across Europe for 50,000 euros (£40,000, $68,000).
Ms Kehm warned that criminal charges would be pressed if such "confidential files" were bought or published.
On Monday, French police said they had tracked down the IP address of a computer used to share his medical records to a Swiss helicopter firm.
In a statement in French, Rega said it had "found itself at the centre of speculation" as a result of revelations published by French daily Dauphine Libere that the information was sent from one of the computers of an "important helicopter company based in Zurich".
It had filed a complaint with prosecutors in Zurich to ensure "absolute clarity" in this case, it said.
"Rega has no evidence that any of its employees failed in this regard. At this stage, we assume that the rights of the patient to medical confidentiality have been preserved."
The company also said it had no knowledge of the ongoing inquiries being conducted by the authorities.
Michael Schumacher retired from racing in 2012 after a 19-year career.
The investigation into his accident at the Meribel resort on 29 December said he had been skiing off-piste when he fell and hit a rock.
He had been going at the speed of "a very good skier" at the time, they said.
His family has said very little about his medical progress, preferring to avoid the gaze of the international media.
Peter Ferris, now teaching drama in Belfast, is one of four UK teachers included in the shortlist for a $1m (£790,000) prize.
Mr Ferris taught Louise Redknapp at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London.
There were more than 20,000 teachers nominated from 179 countries.
Mr Ferris, who grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, went to the drama school as a student - and then went on to become a teacher there.
Among his students, as well as Louise Redknapp, were performers including Russell Brand, Claire Sweeney and Martine McCutcheon.
He is currently teaching at the Mercy College in Belfast.
The award, run by the Varkey Foundation, is intended to recognise the importance of teaching and to help raise the public status of the profession.
There are three other UK teachers in the running for this year's prize, which will be announced next March.
Adnan Mahmood, a business and enterprise tutor from Barking and Dagenham College, London; Nathan Atkinson, head teacher at Richmond Hill School, Leeds, and Raymond Chambers, a computer science teacher from Brooke Weston Academy in Corby, Northamptonshire.
The current holder of the Global Teacher Prize is Hanan Al Hroub, who grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp and is now a teacher of refugees herself.
Her win was announced at an awards ceremony in Dubai, with video messages from Pope Francis and Prince William.
UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, said the prize was a recognition of the importance of teachers.
"I count my teachers as among the most influential people in my life. Teachers are entrusted with nurturing the potential of the young and helping them blossom as productive and responsible members of society.
"It is hard to underestimate their value."
The founder of the Varkey Foundation, Sunny Varkey, said the prize would help to "return teachers to their rightful position as one of the most respected professions in society".
He said the number of nominations from "every corner of the planet is testimony to the achievements of teachers and the enormous impact they have on all of our lives".
Gwent Police said a man, 47, from Pontypool, Torfaen, received stab wounds to his torso following the attack on a street at Mill Court, Hafodyrynys, near Crumlin, on Tuesday.

Two men, aged 35 and 32, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and are currently in police custody.
"She supported all of us, including my son who killed her," Mohammad Azeem told reporters, according to Dawn newspaper.
Ms Baloch's brother said he drugged and strangled her because she "dishonoured the family".
The controversial social media celebrity was buried on Sunday.
Ms Baloch, 26, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, gained notoriety for posting suggestive or outspoken photographs, comments and videos on social media. She recently caused controversy by posting pictures of herself alongside a Muslim cleric.
Her death has sparked a debate over "honour killings" and what is acceptable behaviour online for women in Pakistan.
How the murder reflects a divided country
Ms Baloch, who was also a model and actress, was killed at her family home in Multan early on Saturday. Her 25-year-old brother Waseem was arrested and confessed to the murder.
He said he decided to kill her after she uploaded images of her posing with the Muslim cleric, which were widely shared online.
"I believe I am a modern day feminist. I believe in equality. I need not to choose what type of women should be. I don't think there is any need to label ourselves just for sake of society. I am just a women with free thoughts free mindset and I LOVE THE WAY I AM." (Facebook, 14 July)
Love me or hate me both are in my favour. If you love me I Will always be in your heart, if you hate me I'll always be in ur mind (Facebook, 3 July)
Ms Baloch's funeral was held near her family home in Dera Ghazi Khan, about 130km from Multan. Media reports said thousands of people attended, including rights campaigners. She was buried at her ancestral graveyard.
Ms Baloch's parents lodged a report with police accusing her brother of killing her, and another brother of being complicit, according to Dawn.
He said his sons were unhappy over "her achievements" and turned against her even though she supported them, the paper added.
The residents of her village also condemned the killing.
The council has named Care UK as its preferred company to manage its 16 care homes and eight wellbeing centres.
Care UK has committed to build 10 new care homes but would not comment on how this would affect the existing homes.
Councillor Colin Noble said it was "absolutely possible" that some of the 16 would be closed.
Mr Noble, portfolio holder for adult and community services, said: "Care UK is nationally recognised as specialists in dementia care with a proven track record of meeting the needs of the most vulnerable in society."
Staff currently employed by the council will be transferred to Care UK.
Mr Noble said staff and residents at the existing homes would be consulted about the proposed changes but he could not guarantee all of the homes would remain open.
"We need to look at the provision that is there at the moment, look at what Care UK are proposing in terms of how they're going to invest hundreds of millions of pounds into Suffolk, and then we need to sit down and work out what we need to plan for in each of those communities.
"We've got to plan for the future and how we're going to provide more care homes for more people in the future."
Care UK said it would not comment on details of the plans as a contract was yet to be signed.
Toby Siddall, Care UK's residential care services managing director said: "We are delighted to reach the final stage of this opportunity to work in partnership with Suffolk County Council.
"We look forward to completing the outstanding discussions with the council so that we can start getting to know the residents, relatives and the teams that deliver the services in the council's homes today."
A shed and summer house were destroyed, and heat damage was caused to a house in a fire in Blackfield in the early hours of Friday.
Police said the homeowner, in his 80s, could have been in "life-threatening danger" if the fire not been spotted.
They are linking it to a blaze at a takeaway and a car fire in the village earlier this month.
Dereck Harrison, 22, was captured in the state of Wyoming hours after his father Flint, 55, gave himself up.
They are said to have tied the woman and her teenage daughters up in a basement in a suburb of Salt Lake City on Tuesday.
However the alleged victims broke free after a fight involving a baseball bat.
The Harrisons are accused of imprisoning the woman and her daughters - who were friends of Dereck Harrison - in the false belief that the women had reported their drug use to police.
After the women escaped, the Harrisons fled to Salt Lake City and then Sublette County in western Wyoming as police launched a manhunt.
Both men face 16 charges including aggravated kidnapping and possession of a controlled substance.
The visitors were set to resume their first innings on 349-6, a lead of 116, with Ben Foakes on 140 not out.
But the weather in Bristol kept the players off the field throughout the morning session at Nevil Road.
And umpires Russell Evans and Graham Lloyd decided at 14:45 BST that there was no realistic prospect of play.
With only one day's play remaining, a draw is now the most likely result, barring a Gloucestershire collapse in their second innings.
Surrey began the game in second place in Division Two, 54 points clear of Glamorgan, with Gloucestershire fourth, a further nine points adrift.
This year's focus is to draw attention to the importance of toilets in supporting better nutrition and improved health.
Here, a woman passes near the entrance to a toilet in a makeshift shelter used by a Palestinian family in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. The UN says 2.4 billion people do not have adequate sanitation. Globally, 15% of the population still defecates in the open.
This pictures shows an open toilet in a field in Gorba, in the eastern Indian state of Chhattisgarh.
The main aim of the campaign is to raise awareness about the people in the world who don't have access to a toilet, despite the fact that it is a human right to have clean water and sanitation. This sheltered pit latrine (below) stands in a low-income neighbourhood in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), inadequate sanitation is estimated to cause 280,000 diarrhoeal deaths annually and is a major factor in several tropical diseases.
This toilet stands outside the Llamocca family home, at Villa Lourdes, in Villa Maria del Triunfo, on the outskirts of Lima, Peru.
Poor sanitation is also linked to transmission of diseases such as cholera, typhoid and polio.
Toilets donated by Unicef and World Vision stand near tents at a Syrian refugee settlement camp in Qab Elias, in the Bekaa Valley, near Baalbek, Lebanon.
Posters, including those advertising treatments for sexually transmitted diseases, are stuck to the walls of this public toilet in a residential area for migrant workers in Shigezhuang village, Beijing, China.
The main issue of concern in this restaurant toilet in Brooklyn, New York, appears to be graffiti rather than a deficiency in hygiene.
A UN report, Women and Girls and Their Right to Sanitation, says: "Women place a higher value on access to private sanitation facilities than men but often remain unheard." Urinals inspired by the Rolling Stones logo are seen in a bar in Paris.
"There is a real need for facilities that meet women's physical and psychological demands and preferences, and these can be readily achieved by including women in the design and placement of these facilities," the report adds. This photograph below shows a public toilet in London Fields, in east London.
The festival, held at Donington Park in Leicestershire since 2003, has hosted some of the biggest names in rock including Iron Maiden and Motörhead.
Download organiser Andy Copping said Donington was the "spiritual home" of rock.
The festival saw extra security following the recent terror attacks.

Armed officers patrolled the site but Leicestershire Police and festival organisers were determined it would not affect Download's famous "friendly" atmosphere.
It led to the force using the hashtag "copaselfie" - an attempt to get revellers to engage with officers by taking selfies with them.
Supt Martyn Ball, from Leicestershire Police, said armed police were there to make people "safe and secure" following the recent attacks in Manchester and London.
Mr Copping, one of the founders of Download, said the festival is one of the UK's "friendliest" but also the "biggest" of its type in the world.
He told the BBC that fans treat it as their holiday.
About 80,000 people attended the festival over the weekend which saw performances from System of a Down, Every Time I Die, Rob Zombie, Biffy Clyro and Aerosmith.
The American rockers made Download their "swansong" in the UK, according to Mr Copping.
Michael Fludgate, 20, was being pursued as he drove through Luton on 9 August.
He ignored pleas from Wanessa Lewandowska, 15, and another passenger to slow down and hit speeds of 80mph (128km/h) in a 20mph (32km/h) limit.
Judge Richard Foster told him: "This was a piece of flagrant and obvious dangerous driving."
Luton Crown Court heard Wanessa and the other passenger had been screaming at Fludgate to slow down or stop as he sped through Luton at 22:20 BST.
He hit a speed hump and crashed the VW Golf into a TV repair shop in High Town Road.
Wanessa was pronounced dead at the scene. Fludgate was seriously injured and airlifted to hospital.
A man, 24, who fled the scene but later went to police was seriously injured.
Fludgate, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, causing death while uninsured and causing death while unlicenced.
Judge Foster told him: "To any common sensed bystander the outcome was perhaps almost inevitable - that there would be a serious accident.
"You ignored the blue lights, and you disregarded your passengers screaming at you to slow down. Sadly Wanessa was killed. Nothing this court can say or do can bring back her life."
The court heard police attempted to stop Ludgate after seeing him "larking around" but he sped off.
Nicola Shannon, mitigating, said Fludgate "does not minimise the part he played".
He was sentenced to eight years in prison, banned from driving for four years after his release and will have to take an extended driving test.
After the crash, the Independent Police Complaints Commission set up an inquiry, which is ongoing.
The deal ends 50 years of conflict that left hundreds of thousands of people dead and millions displaced.
A ceasefire began on Monday but the deal must still clear two hurdles before it is formally ratified.
President Juan Manuel Santos called this "perhaps the most important announcement" of his life.
He said: "Peace will be signed on 26 September in [the Colombian city of] Cartagena."
There had been speculation that the deal would be signed at the UN headquarters in New York.

Colombians will vote on the deal in a referendum in October before it is fully made into law.
At least 13% of people have to answer "yes" to the question: "Do you support the final accord to end the conflict and build a stable and lasting peace?"
The Farc group, which is on US and European lists of terrorist organisations, will hold a separate vote at a national conference.
Other groups in the armed conflict have not been part of these peace talks.

Campaigners from North Wales Deaf Association (NWDA) said they do not know who placed it there on Tuesday, but "appreciate the support".
The group has been left "frustrated and angry" at a £50,000 annual funding cut from Conwy council.
But the authority said talks took place 18 months before funding was cut and it is probing a bench being "defaced".
Raymond Manners, 56 from Leeds, admitted raping a woman in the Chapeltown area of the city on 23 February 1991.
The cold case was solved thanks to advances in DNA profiling.
Manners, who is already serving 10 years for two 1979 rapes, was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court.
West Yorkshire Police said other criminals should be "dreading that knock on the door" due to forensic advances.
Det Ch Insp Jim Dunkerley said: "This is a fantastic result. It has brought justice and hopefully some closure for the victim and sent a message to any criminals still out there who think the passage of time has meant they have got away with what they did.
"I want them to be dreading that knock on the door and to always be looking over their shoulder for the police to come."
The court heard that officers were unable to identify the rapist in 1991.
But specialist cold case investigators later reviewed it and found similarities with two other unsolved rapes dating back to 1979.
In 2012, the same team linked Manners to the 1979 rapes through forensic evidence and he was jailed for 10 years.
At the time, there was insufficient evidence to successfully link him to the 1991 rape.
However, the team reviewed the case again in 2016 and thanks to new techniques in DNA profiling, Manners was linked to the crime scene.
Manners, who was described by police as a "serial rapist", was jailed for a further 12 years on Thursday after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing.
The Ibrox club were ejected from the first qualifying round of the Europa League by a team that finished fourth in their domestic league last season.
"It's an embarrassing result, given the investment (in the squad)," said Rae of his former club's 2-1 aggregate defeat.
"I have never seen them lose to a team of this calibre."
Rae, now 48, told BBC Scotland that he felt Pedro Caixinha's new-look team lacked the drive he would have expected to see as Rangers returned to European football for the first time in six years.
They had won the Ibrox leg 1-0 and in the starting XI in Luxembourg fielded four of their summer signings - Fabio Cardoso, Ryan Jack, Daniel Candeias and Alfredo Morelos, with a further two, Dalcio and Eduardo Herrera, making substitute appearances.
"They are only three or four weeks into their pre-season but with the quality that Rangers have allegedly brought in you would expect them to go through in a tie like this," said Rae, who played in the Champions League and Uefa Cup with Rangers in 2004 and 2005.
"It's OK if it's a one-off, you can lose cup games, but over two games you would expect them to get through.
"I was disappointed with the manner in which they played. They never got any combinations, there was no tempo or intensity and you could actually see it coming. It's as bad a performance and result as you're going to get.
"They just didn't create enough good chances. They had a couple of headers that you would have expected them to score, with (Niko) Kranjcar and (Josh) Windass and Kenny Miller hitting the bar.
"It would have to be up there with one of their worst performances and results in Europe. I think everybody is in shock.
"The way Scottish football is going, we're going to be a laughing stock."
Rae predicted that the Portuguese manager would come in for scrutiny in the coming weeks but he did not think Caixinha would resign or be sacked.
"He seems quite a confident guy in his ability and what he's trying to do," he said.
"The board have backed him to the hilt. I would expect them to back him and give him time to turn it around.
"The eight signings are just in the door. The season starts in four weeks. This will give Caixinha time to work with them. They will need to hit the ground running."
Many fail the psychology test, one of several designed to weed out inappropriate applicants.
Several YouTube videos with a recruitment theme have disabled all comments. Where comments are still possible, one failed applicant complained that visible tattoos were a criterion for rejection.
Xenophobia is at record levels in Hungary, after two years of anti-migrant rhetoric from the conservative Fidesz government.
Work is continuing on a second, electronic fence parallel to the first, designed to prevent illegal entry. Hungary now accepts only 10 applicants for asylum a day from Serbia, where up to 7,000 asylum seekers are waiting for the chance to move on to western Europe.
Under new legislation, all asylum seekers will be kept in detention while their applications are considered, to prevent them absconding across the western border into Austria.
There is no lack of interest in joining the new "border-hunters" unit. But police officers admit privately that the name is part of the problem, as it attracts the wrong kind of applicant.
Only 1,000 of the 2,700 people who applied from last August to January this year were accepted. Nearly 400 failed the psychology test, police told the BBC. Police commanders say quality is more important than quantity, and they will keep recruiting for as long as necessary.
The formation of the 3,000-strong unit, part of the national police, was announced in August 2015. It is designed to take the pressure off the regular police, 18,000 of whom served on the Serbian border at different times last year, alongside 6,000 soldiers.
The border-hunters receive normal police training, including firearms use, with extra modules about Islam and other cultures they might come into contact with.
Because of the EU-Turkey deal of March 2016, and the deterrent effect of police measures in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia and Hungary, the earlier flow of refugees through the West Balkan route has slowed to a trickle. This is largely tolerated by most countries, but Hungary spares no expense to block it.
In January an average 80 migrants were caught each night trying to enter Hungary, two-thirds after successfully climbing or cutting through the fence. They were then "escorted" by police back to the gates, and sent back into Serbia.
The UN refugee agency UNHCR and human rights groups allege this push-back practice is illegal, and have gathered evidence alleging excessive use of force by the Hungarian police. Hungary granted just 427 asylum requests in 2016.

In the border-hunters classroom at Barcs in southern Hungary, 30 uniformed male and female police cadets practise arrest techniques.
Working in pairs, they twist the arms of their partners behind their backs and march them across the room, bent double.
"We don't hunt down anyone, migrants or others," Hungarian police chief Karoly Papp told the BBC. "The police have to keep strictly and humanely to the rules laid down in the Hungarian constitution, the police law, and the [EU] Schengen border regulations.
"Of course there are some to whom we say, 'We cannot let you into the training course, because you are not suitable for a career in the police.' And there are others who would be suitable, but at the last minute have second thoughts."
"I always wanted to join the police, but until now, the opportunity didn't present itself," said Adrienn Heronyanyi, who has a four-year-old son. "The psychological and medical tests were hard, but I'm happy I passed."
She took her oath, with 531 other recruits, at a swearing-in ceremony in Budapest on 12 January.
"Terrorist attacks, violence and crime, ethnic and cultural clashes all warn us," Prime Minister Viktor Orban told the recruits, "that those who come here do not want to live our way of life. They want to continue their own ways of life - but with the standard of living of the people of Europe.
"We know that the migrants are also victims. Victims of the people-smugglers; victims of European politicians who promise admission and invitation; and victims of their own illusions. We understand them, but we cannot yield to their demands, and we cannot let them into Europe."
According to the State Prosecution Service, nine police officers are currently under investigation for alleged violence against migrants. For the chief of police, this is proof that such behaviour is the exception, not the rule.
"I will defend my officers against every unprincipled attack, but at the same time I refuse to defend anyone who does not keep to the high standards of the Hungarian police," said Karoly Papp.
The inquiry by Sir John Chilcot was set up in 2009 and took evidence from its last witness in 2011.
However, there have been prolonged discussions over the disclosure of secret documents.
Nicola Sturgeon has written to all Scottish party leaders urging them to unite in seeking publication.
Both Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy and Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie have said they back the earliest possible publication of the findings.
The Chilcot Inquiry was commissioned by the previous government at Westminster to investigate the background to Britain's involvement in the Iraq war, which began in 2003 when Tony Blair was prime minister.
There have been growing calls for the findings to be made public before the general election in May.
In the past week, a cross-party group of MPs secured a Commons debate on the issue which will take place on 29 January.
In June last year, Sir John announced he was satisfied that the "gist" of talks between Tony Blair and former US President George Bush could be made public, removing a major obstacle to publication of his report.
He then intended to write to those who were to be criticised to give them an opportunity to respond before publication.
Mr Blair has previously said he wanted the Chilcot report to be published as soon as possible and that he "resented" claims he was to blame for its slow progress.
UK government ministers have conceded that if the final report is not completed by the end of February, it would be wrong to release it in the heat of a closely-fought election campaign.
The first minister told BBC Scotland: "The report was meant to be published in 2012.
"Surely we can't go through a general election without people having the answers to the questions on the Iraq war that they still don't have.
"That has to happen before some of these MPs that voted for the Iraq war are back up for election."
Scottish Labour leader Mr Murphy, who was a minister under the government of Mr Blair, said: "The Chilcot Inquiry is a crucially important piece of work that must be conducted thoroughly and forensically.
"The inquiry was initiated by Labour in July 2009, because it is vital to identify the lessons that can be learned from the conflict.
"There is rightly real public interest in the findings of such an important inquiry and I think it is right that there is the earliest possible publication of the report."
In response to Ms Sturgeon's letter, Scottish Labour Scottish Lib Dem leader Mr Rennie said his party was pushing for the government to release the report within one week of receiving it.
He added: "We agree with Nicola Sturgeon. It is important that the lessons learnt from the Chilcot report are learnt whilst there are people involved in Parliament who are in a position to answer for their actions.
"It has been over five years since the Iraq Inquiry began taking oral evidence.
"Politicians from all parties across the UK must push for these findings to be finally brought into the light."
A spokeswoman for the Iraq Inquiry said: "We will not be commenting further on the process or the progress of the report."
The leader of the suffragette movement, who was born in the city, gained over half the votes in the WoManchester Statue Project poll.
A statue of Queen Victoria in Albert Square is currently the only woman portrayed across 17 city centre works.
The statue, which will be privately funded, is due to be unveiled in 2019.
Mrs Pankhurst beat five other women shortlisted to be commemorated with 56% of the 5,301 votes cast.
Didsbury councillor Andrew Simcock, who started the project, said none of the funding for the £200,000 memorial would come from Manchester City Council's budget.
Mrs Pankhurst, who was born in 1858, was instrumental in the movement for women to get the vote and founder of the Women's Social and Political Union.
The group held its first meeting at Mrs Pankhurst's Chorlton-on-Medlock home on 10 October 1903. The building has since become a museum and community centre named in her honour.
•Organised campaigns for women's suffrage began in 1866
•When Parliamentary reform was debated in 1867, John Stuart Mill proposed an amendment to give the vote to women on the same terms as men but it was rejected by 194 votes to 73.
• Women's rights activists were involved in direct action, including chaining themselves to railings and jail hunger strikes
• In 1918 the Representation of the People Act gave women over 30 the vote, which was extended to all women over the age of 21 in 1928.
Manager Rachel Lappin said she was "thrilled to bits [that] the legacy of Mrs Pankhurst's campaign and the movement she led lives on".
The other nominees were author Elizabeth Gaskell, anti-racism campaigner Louise Da-Cocodia, Manchester councillor Margaret Ashton, businesswomen and writer Elizabeth Raffald and MP Ellen Wilkinson.
Leigh Griffiths scored either side of Anthony Ralston's first senior goal for the club to make it 3-0 at half-time.
Captain for the night Kieran Tierney netted a wonderful strike from distance that will long live in his memory and the fans who witnessed it.
Stuart Armstrong tapped in to cap a straightforward night for Celtic and a sore one for Kilmarnock.
It was not a birthday to remember for Kilmarnock's Kirk Broadfoot as he and Gordon Greer looked to forge their new central defensive partnership in testing circumstances.
Only Craig Gordon, Tierney and Griffiths continued with starting berths from the Celtic 11 that began the weekend's 4-1 Premiership victory over Hearts.
Manager Brendan Rodgers offered more first-team experience to Ralston (18), left-wing-back Calvin Miller (19) and recent signing from Ipswich Town Kundai Benyu (19).
Kristoffer Ajer (19) and Eboue Kouassi (19) were the others under the age of 20 handed the responsibility of helping Celtic get off to a smooth start in defending one part of the domestic treble they captured last season.
Tierney was deployed as a centre-back beside Ajer, who spent much of the 2016-17 campaign on loan at Kilmarnock, but the home defence had little to do.
Not so at the other end, and a silly foul from winger Jordan Jones on Jonny Hayes handed the hosts an early penalty that Griffiths fired into the bottom corner.
A memorable moment for Ralston soon followed when he headed in Griffiths' corner kick after being given too much space by the Killie defence.
Goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald could not stop that one but he did well to beat away a stinging effort from Griffiths and he went on to make an even better stop from Armstrong later.
The visitors had started Lee Erwin up front in place of Kris Boyd but the ball rarely made its way that far up the pitch as Killie were pinned back.
Tierney highlighted his ever-increasing skill-set in many ways in this match. Playing as captain and centre-back was only the beginning, as he impressed with a nice threaded pass to set up Griffiths for his fourth goal in two games - the striker springing a half-hearted Killie offside trap before calmly slotting in to give his team a 3-0 lead at the break.
Tierney then sent a 40-yard screamer high into the top corner for Celtic's fourth. It was a terrific strike that the man, already capped four times for Scotland, will struggle to better in what promises to be a bright future.
The busy Hayes scampered down the right for his second assist of the night, sending an inviting low cross for Armstrong to side-foot home from close-range.
One negative for Celtic was a nasty looking injury for Kouassi, who was taken off after jarring what looked like his knee or ankle.

Matt Dunham is a 33-year-old British photographer who studied Documentary Photography at the University of Wales in Newport and has worked on the staff at AP since 2005. He is best known for his picture of Prince Charles and his wife Camilla when their car was attacked during the student protests in London in December 2010.
Here's Matt's selection, starting with a series from Japan following the earthquake and tsunami that struck the country in March.
People residing in the earthquake-prone regions of the world live day-to-day with the reality that one could hit at any time. The earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan on 11 March was the biggest to hit the country since modern records began and killed more than 15,000 people.
I was covering an ice skating event in Sheffield when I received a call from my regional boss at AP, Tony Hicks. The Department for International Development were organising a flight for British search and rescue teams to deploy to Japan and they had room for a number of media to go with them. The flight was due to leave fours hours later from Manchester Airport.
I wasn't exactly kitted out with the necessary equipment for such an assignment as all my camping stuff was at home in London. However my text colleague David Stringer was making his way to the airport from London with a Bgan (Broadband Global Area Network), a satellite internet connection device, which would enable us to transmit our pictures and copy, and I eventually managed to get us some gear at a camping shop.
We landed at a US military base in northern Japan and along with the rescue teams we were driven to the tsunami affected area so we could co-ordinate with the Japanese emergency services.
We set up camp in a gymnasium that was absolutely freezing. We asked ourselves how anybody trapped in the remains of a building could survive the freezing temperatures at night.
The rescue workers were desperate to find survivors. But after three days of finding nothing but bodies, the decision was made that they would leave Japan as they deemed the chances of finding anyone still alive extremely low.
This was not the end for me though as I was assigned to join AP's team of Japanese staffers. My photographic colleague Shizuo Kambayashi and reporter Foster Klug picked me up and we drove to Kesennuma where a giant vessel had been washed ashore. It was unbelievable seeing the strange places where cars and boats had ended up, coming to rest on some of the concrete buildings that remained on their foundations. It was a way of indicating just how high the tsunami waters rose.
I've purposefully chosen to reflect on this image of Kate looking back rather than the kiss picture, as that was something everyone was expecting to happen, drawing the inevitable comparisons with the kiss Charles and Diana shared on the same balcony 30 years earlier.
I like this frame as it is an unexpected moment where Kate gives the assembled masses a conspiratorial look of happiness and confidence as she turns away with William to walk into her new life as a future queen.
The picture was taken from a tiered platform put up on the Queen Victoria memorial, where 64 positions had been carefully marked up for photographers directly opposite the balcony where the royal couple were expected to share their first public kiss as husband and wife. We were asked to arrive at the memorial at 6am with the royals expected to make their balcony appearance just under seven and a half hours later. One relief was that a toilet had been put in our media enclosure which meant we could take drinks and snacks to last the day.
This picture was shot on a Canon 1D MkIV camera with an 800mm long lens to give a close-up view of the couple, from what I'd guess was the 70-or-so metre distance between us. One problem with taking photographs on such a long lens from a distance like that is having to deal with atmospheric heat haze. This makes the images appear less sharp than if you were standing much closer. The heat haze was also intensified by the crowds that were standing between our elevated platform and the forecourt of Buckingham Palace.
I had also set up three other remotely triggered cameras with different lenses to give a wide, medium and another tight view of the balcony scene. They were all connected with cables so that when I took a picture with the main 800mm camera all the others would fire at the same time, capturing the same moment.
When working for an international news agency on an event with such a global interest the images need to arrive at the picture desks of AP's subscribers as quickly as possible. This was particularly important for countries in different time zones where the timing of the kiss meant that it needed to make their late night printing deadlines.
To make our delivery as timely as possible, AP and the other large news agencies paid to have broadband speed internet lines installed beside our platform. Trying to send pictures using the mobile phone network would have been virtually impossible. When crowds of thousands assemble it tends to overload the nearest mobile phone masts, but by plugging the internet cable into a module attached to my main camera I was able to transmit pictures directly to our office in Camden where a team of editors were waiting to crop, edit and caption before transmitting the pictures to our clients.
I'm pleased to say everything went well with the photography that day, which was a huge relief for me. Text journalists can reflect on things after they have happened but as a news photographer if you miss an historic moment there is no second chance to capture it again, which is why it was very kind of William and Kate to kiss twice that day. We still needed to capture both kisses, and it turned out the second kiss made a better picture as it had the little bridesmaid covering her ears.
In Britain we have a genre of photography that is regularly practiced by news and celebrity photographers alike, the car shot. When waiting for a person in the news agenda sometimes the only way to take a photograph of them is through the window of the vehicle they are travelling in.
Car shots are not the kind of pictures individuals would hang on their walls as they often capture people at a low-point or time of crisis in their lives. In many other countries, photographers are given access to take pictures inside courts, parliaments and committee hearings but in Britain this is not the case.
If people choose to drive away from gated entrances or underground car parks the only visual possibility left by that stage is a car shot for the photographers, and footage of photographers taking the pictures for the broadcasters. Stories need visuals as readers and viewers want to see what's happening.
The two most important technical aspects to get a good result in these situations are the flash settings you need to penetrate the window, and the focus of the lens.
When word came through of the News of the World's closure amidst the phone-hacking scandal, the media descended on the Wapping site to report on it. As a photographer you need to think of everything you can use to illustrate it as effectively as possible. Images of the building, News of the World signs, the multitude of television sat' trucks, television correspondents speaking on live broadcasts, News of the World employees hugging and drinking outside the pub next door and ideally you'd capture the main protagonists, Rebekah Brooks and James Murdoch (Rupert Murdoch was at a conference in the US on that day).
On this day a number of photographers were standing on a street corner with a view of the building's underground car park exit as we suspected Brooks and Murdoch would depart from there. Members of the Sunday tabloid's staff had told us they were still in the building so we had to wait it out. It took a fair while for them to leave and it was getting later into the evening by which time some of our group had left.
James Murdoch was the first to leave and then a little while later Brooks came out. Her departure caught us by surprise as word got out that she had already left and so with British newspaper deadlines approaching we were sitting on the pavement with heads in laptops sending the photos we'd taken of Murdoch. One observant member of our group spotted a vehicle pull out from the car park and shouted to the rest of us, something it's always nice to do for one another.
The focus of my picture is off, it's a muzzy, but that doesn't lessen the fact that her gaze comes from a time of crisis in the history of British newspapers.
I'd been in Norway for three days covering the aftermath of Anders Behring Breivik's attack in Norway. Breivik had set off a bomb in Oslo before heading to the island of Utoeya where he killed at least 68 people at an island youth camp run by the ruling Labour Party.
This campsite jetty across the water from the island had become a place people came to lay floral tributes in memory of the victims. The beautiful scenery and calm sound of the water were so at odds with the horror that took place on the island.
By the time I took this picture AP had flown in four photographers to Oslo so we could spread ourselves around, each one covering different aspects of the story. On this day when Breivik was due to appear in court for the first time, a minute's silence was planned across Norway and thousands of people were expected to attend an Oslo 'Rose March' memorial in the afternoon. Utoeya was an hour or so drive from Oslo where we were all staying. I'd taken our shared hire car down to the mainland area opposite the island and had spent most of the morning using a 500mm lens with a 1.4x converter to watch the police who were still carrying out investigations on the island.
As the time for the silence approached another British photographer Jeff Mitchell and I went down to the jetty to see what would happen for the minute's silence. Various people were gathering at the water's edge, a mixture of campers, relatives and members of the media.
Photographing a solemn scene like this is emotionally tough. We are very aware of how people are feeling and have to find a balance for how close to stand when taking our pictures. How can you do anything else but empathise with their loss, or reflect on how you would feel if one of your loved ones had lost their lives on that island?
The one track and field competitor even non-athletics fans have heard of is Usain Bolt. The men's 100m final is billed as the showpiece of any high-profile athletics meeting, and at the World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea, it was reigning Olympic champion and world-record holder Bolt who was the man the spectators came to see.
Sports are interesting to photograph in the sense that there is always the potential for something unexpected to happen, even with an event that lasts less than 10 seconds.
We covered this race with a team of photographers, all from different parts of the globe, and each taking a different vantage point dotted around the track. The prime photographer position, and number one pressure spot, is sitting head-on to the finish line where you will get the clean picture of the winner crossing the line towards you. My colleague Anja Niedringhaus, who's also a hugely talented and experienced conflict photographer, was doing the job for AP on this occasion.
My job that night was to be at the start, to shoot the competitors coming out the blocks and to keep an eye on Bolt as he likes to showboat for the fans and cameras alike. It was, I felt, the least pressured position to be given and one I was very happy with. My Texan colleague David Phillip, who is a top-notch sports photographer and technical whiz, was waiting on the infield beside the finish line to trigger his set of remote controlled cameras on the line, and then do the celebration lap of honour run-round with the winner.
We'd talked about the fact that the rule change meant that one false start and the athlete is disqualified. However slim, there was always a chance that it could be Bolt in that unfortunate position, and on this occasion that is what happened.
The photo here shows Bolt, disqualified, running vest thrown off in frustration, and gesturing as he watches the race on the stadium's big screen by the start. He later overcame the disappointment to take the gold medal in the 200m race and helped set a new world record for the Jamaican men in the 4x100m relay on the last day of the competition. It's not hard to guess where all eyes will be pointing next summer when the Olympics comes to London, and I hope to be by the start for the 100m again, this time not seeing anyone disqualified.
Britain's Met Office said maximum temperatures were around ten degrees above normal for September and Londoners flocked outdoors to soak up the sun. The swimming ponds on Hampstead Heath are not heated, and though the temperatures were fine to sunbathe in, the water was incredibly cold. I stayed at the pond for a while chatting to different people and becoming part of the landscape so they were comfortable with my being there.
The longer you spend photographing a scene, the more people become immune to a camera pointing at or around them. To begin with people are usually curious as to why you are taking pictures and ask questions, like who you work for, or how much your cameras are worth. Once satisfied they sometimes pose in a snapshot manner asking you take a picture of them, and finally the novelty of being photographed wears off and they go back to acting naturally again.

Nasri, 29, was dismissed for a second yellow card in Sevilla's 2-0 last-16 second-leg defeat, as the Foxes reached the quarter-finals 3-2 on aggregate.
Nasri and Vardy clashed in the second half and were booked for butting heads.
But the on-loan Manchester City star believes Vardy's response convinced referee Daniele Orsato to take action.
"For me he's a cheat because if he was a foreign player you, the English press, would be saying he's a cheat," he said.
"They were winning 2-0, play the game like a man. You are not better than us but you are winning 2-0 and will qualify, just play the game."
But England striker Vardy refuted Nasri's allegation, saying: "I'm not a cheat and I never have been. That's all I've got to say on the matter."
A Leicester spokesman added: "The club refutes entirely any allegation that questions the professional integrity of Jamie or any of its players."
Sevilla were already 2-0 down on the night after goals from Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton.
And they were forced to play the final 20 minutes with 10 men as they chased a crucial goal.
France international Nasri needed to be escorted off the pitch by his team-mates, which took over three minutes.
"For an international player you don't need to do that. Look at the image. Yes he did it, but he did it well," he said.
"He played it well. I thought the English players were tougher than that. He is the one who came to my face.
"It was a foul or something and then he pushed me and I said 'what are you doing?' and then he came to my face. That's what happened.
"If I tell the truth I don't think you will be able to write it. I would love to speak to him - there are too many cameras and security and I have to think about next year and not getting a big suspension."
Brian Reader, 76, was jailed over the £26m Brinks Mat armed robbery in 1983.
Terry Perkins, 67, was jailed for 22 years for robbing the vaults of Securicor, also known as Security Express, in the same year.
Reader and Perkins have already admitted conspiracy to burgle the Hatton Garden safe deposit.
Reader, of Dartford Road, Dartford, was jailed for eight years for conspiracy to handle stolen goods after the gold bullion robbery in Hounslow, west London, in 1983.
Jurors at Woolwich Crown Court were told he was also sentenced to a further year in prison for dishonestly handling £66,000 in cash.
Perkins, of Heene Road, was part of a gang which broke into the Security Express depot in Shoreditch, east London, and escaped with £6m on Easter Monday, 1983.
The jury also heard details of the previous convictions of the other men who have already admitted their role in the Hatton Garden raid.
John "Kenny" Collins, 75, of Bletsoe Walk, Islington, has convictions for offences including breaking in, theft and handling stolen goods.
Daniel Jones, 60, of Park Avenue, Enfield, has been sentenced for offences of robbery, burglary and handling stolen goods.
Four other men are on trial accused of being involved in the Hatton Garden raid:
Collins, Jones, Perkins and Reader are due to be sentenced at a later date.
The trial continues.
It follows a report from Citizens Advice, which said thousands of people were waiting 47 minutes to get their calls answered.
"I don't think the overall trend is worsening," Lin Homer, HMRC's chief executive, told MPs.
The National Audit Office (NAO) also said recently that too few calls were being answered within five minutes.
"We aren't answering enough calls within five minutes, but we are now doing more 'once and done' calls," she said, meaning that taxpayers only needed to phone once.
"We have already apologised for what we see as a failure in our performance at the end of last year, and the first couple of months of this year," she told members of the Public Accounts Committee.
In June this year, she apologised for the service, which she admitted was "not up to scratch", after figures showed that a quarter of calls went unanswered.
As a result of "once and done" calls, she said that some conversations were getting longer. And she said HMRC was "aiming to get better".
The total number of calls answered by HMRC fell from 79% in 2013/14, to 72.5% in 2014/15, according to the NAO.
And it said that just 39% of calls were being answered within five minutes.
The Citizens Advice study showed that over the last year, 11,500 frustrated callers turned to Twitter to complain.
On average, those who tweeted had to wait an average of 47 minutes before their call was answered.
HMRC said the survey was "unscientific" and "out of date".
In one case, someone tweeted that they had tried to get through to HMRC on four occasions and waited an hour each time.
Citizens Advice calculated that hanging on the line to HMRC for 47 minutes would, in many cases, cost consumers £4.66 in call charges.
"People are paying the price for not getting through to HMRC," said Gillian Guy, the chief executive of Citizens Advice.
"From fines for not completing a tax return in time, to under or overpayments for tax credits, people can be left out of pocket because they cannot speak to HMRC on the phone."
However, HMRC said it had recently taken on an extra 3,000 staff to try and lessen the delays.
"We are sorry that some customers have struggled to get hold of us, but this unscientific and out-of-date survey of tweets does not represent the real picture now," said an HMRC spokesperson.
"In reality, answer rates on our phones are improving and wait times are falling."
Lin Homer said new telephone systems had also been installed, which would help reduce waiting times.
The Citizens Advice study looked at 34,000 tweets made between August 2014 and August 2015.
Paul Fox, 43, faced charges including breaches of offensive weapon legislation and threatening or abusive behaviour.

The horse, named Shaktiman, had gone into shock after being administered anaesthesia by doctors who wanted to change his bandage.
The horse was fitted with a prosthetic leg and had been recovering well.
A legislator from the northern state of Uttarakhand was arrested after he allegedly beat Shaktiman at a rally. Ganesh Joshi denies the accusation.
He has been released on bail.
Video footage of the event appeared to show the animal's leg getting caught in a grill as it tried backing away from stick wielding protesters led by Mr Joshi.
The incident took place near the legislative assembly in the state capital, Dehradun last month, during a protest against the state government.
Dehradun senior superintendent of police Shivanand Datey told BBC reporter Raju Gusain that the horse had gone into shock after being administered the anaesthesia and vets had been unable to revive him.
Vets had been changing his bandage twice a week and the animal had been recovering well.
Rakesh Nautiyal, the veterinary officer looking after Shaktiman, had told the BBC that the horse was standing and "improving day-by-day".

The three-time Oscar nominee has brought the play to the West End after winning critical acclaim for the role on Broadway in New York.
Cooper plays the deformed Merrick by contorting his body rather than using prosthetics.
The Daily Mail's Quentin Letts said Cooper's physical transformation was a "singularly theatrical experience".
"There is no mask, no plastic fakery, no false hunchback," he said in his five-star review.
"Simply by dint of his art, good-looking Mr Cooper persuades us that he is this pitiable, and soon engagingly likeable grotesque."
Billy Crudup and singer David Bowie are among others to have played Merrick in Bernard Pomerance's play, which was first staged in London in 1977.
Merrick's true-life story also inspired David Lynch's Bafta-winning 1980 film, which starred John Hurt.
The Independent's Paul Taylor was also impressed by Cooper's ability to change "from Hollywood hunk to misshapen outcast".
"Cooper effects this metamorphosis with terrific tact," he said.
"This is a wonderfully humane yet wholly unsanctimonious performance where each aspect, such as the painstakingly correct speech that issues in laboured breaths and gulps, is designed to draw attention not to the actor's technical skill (which is considerable) but to Merrick's unembittered openness to life, his gentleness, questioning humour, and romantic spirit."
But while Cooper showed theatrical prowess, he was let down by a sluggish production, observed Ben Lawrence in The Telegraph.
"Dialogues are often stretched to a point where the dramatic pace is killed stone dead.
"Essentially, Pomerance's play is a chamber piece, and with more taut direction this should have been 90 minutes straight through. Instead, we get two 50-minute acts that are peppered with uncomfortable pauses."
In The Guardian, Michael Billington described Cooper as "very good indeed" but also had issues with the play - directed by Scott Ellis - which he found "thin and tendentious".
Even less impressed was The Stage's Natasha Tripney who said in her two-star review that this was an "underpowered account" of the life of Merrick.
"While there is one powerful moment of tenderness and emotional exposure between Cooper and [Patricia] Clarkson, which they both handle with delicacy, the rest of Ellis' production is fitful and underpowered," she wrote.
"Much of this is down to the play itself, which is bitty in structure and quite dry in tone. It might work better as a chamber piece but feels rather marooned on the West End stage."

The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch tracks species such as starlings and song thrushes, which have declined by 80% and 70% since the survey began in 1979.
The unusual weather this winter could affect which birds are seen in gardens.
The RSPB said it was likely there would be fewer birds because they have been less reliant on garden feeders.
December was the warmest and wettest month in the UK in more than a century, before a cold snap was followed by unseasonable warmth in January.
The RSPB said it would be interesting to see how this had affected the long tailed tit, which suffers in harsh winters, and if there were lower numbers of species from the continent, including finches and blackbirds.
RSPB wildlife adviser Ben Andrew said: "If the UK experiences a continuation of these milder temperatures, those taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch may notice their gardens quieter than in other years.
"The milder weather means there is more food available in the wider countryside, with birds being less reliant on garden feeders."
However, Mr Andrew added it was still important to keep garden feeders stocked so that birds could find food whatever the weather.
The birdwatch encourages people to spend at least an hour spotting birds and then report their sightings to the RSPB.
This will help the organisation learn more about changes in bird numbers and spot any long-term trends.
Those wanting to take part can register on the RSPB's website.
It described it as a "diversion of relief materials", which correspondents say is a euphemism for theft.
A statement from the acting president's office added that security was being beefed up to protect the deliveries.
As a result of Boko Haram violence some 8.5 million Nigerians in the north-east need life-saving aid, officials say.
Poor rains have exacerbated a problem caused by fighting with Boko Haram Islamist militants, which has forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes.
People in north-east Nigeria are also facing a possible famine, the UN said in March.
In the latest suspected Boko Haram attack on Sunday, 12 people were killed by five suicide bombers in a village near Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state.
The statement from acting President Yemi Osinbajo said aid going missing had "dogged food delivery" and then cited reports saying that more than 50 lorries out of every 100 sent to the north-east never reach their destination.
It does not say what has happened to the diverted food, but in May two Nigerian officials were jailed for selling food aid.
Last week, Nigeria apologised to Saudi Arabia after 200 tonnes of dates the kingdom sent as a Ramadan gift were found on sale in local markets.
Mr Osinbajo said that the latest consignment of aid which is making its way to the north-east is being protected by more than a thousand soldiers.
"Important progress" had been made at Tonghae Satellite Launching Ground since October 2012, the analysis from the 38 North website said.
Activities around the new launch pad also revealed possible evidence of assistance from Iran, it said.
Pyongyang used a three-stage rocket to put a satellite into space last year.
That launch - condemned by the UN as a banned test of missile technology - took place at the Sohae launch site.
But previous unsuccessful attempts in 2006 and 2009 took place at the Tonghae site, which is also known as Musudan-ri.
The analysis from 38 North, the website of the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Baltimore, was based on satellite imagery.
Construction of the new launch pad was continuing, it said, with images showing Pyongyang would be able to test rockets "perhaps three to four times the size of the Unha [launched in December 2012] when construction is completed, possibly in 2016".
Two new design features were similar to those used at the Semnan Launch Complex in Iran, it said.
The images also confirmed activity at the old launch pad.
"That activity may be related to another round of modifications intended to support future launches of the Unha rocket or possibly another liquid-fuelled missile," 38 North said, while cautioning that more information was needed.
North Korea last week conducted its third nuclear test, claiming to have successfully detonated a smaller but more powerful device than in previous tests.
The move drew immediate condemnation from the UN Security Council.
Observers fear North Korea is working towards creating a nuclear device small enough to fit on a long-range missile.
The move was planned as part of Bristol's Metrobus scheme but Bristol City Council has halted the work so more traffic assessments can be done.
Cabinet member Mark Bradshaw ruled out a deadline, saying the delay was "for as long as it takes" to complete the research.
The plan involved making Stoke Lane one-way southbound.
Mr Bradshaw added: "I don't want to add to the uncertainty, I don't want to increase the cost and I don't want to increase the disruption for those who are going to be affected but we have to get this right to do this further piece of work.
"That's why I and my colleagues agree that it was the right thing to do to put a halt to this."
The closure was delayed for the first time in April.
Campaigner, Amanda Vinall, said: "We're absolutely thrilled to bits that someone is finally listening to us."
The road carries traffic to and from the Frenchay area over the M32. It had been expected that the change would have lasted a year.
Residents and staff at the nearby University of the West of England (UWE) had opposed the one-way system, claiming other commuter routes were already congested.
Metrobus bosses say the building work would take nine months longer using temporary traffic lights rather than a one-way system.
But Ms Vinall, who's a member of Stoke Lane Action group said any road closure along this route would be unworkable.
She added: "We will not be happy until we have just traffic lights - it would be bearable. The complete one-way system would be unbearable."
The Northern Ireland defender, 27, has joined the Baggies for an undisclosed fee, with reports suggesting it is £6m plus £2m in add-ons.

Evans made 198 appearances for United and won three Premier League titles at Old Trafford but had fallen out of favour under manager Louis van Gaal.
The centre-back, who had two loan spells at Sunderland, has not featured for United at all this season and had also been linked with Everton.
Evans will link up with former Red Devils team-mate Darren Fletcher, who left United in January and has since been appointed West Brom's captain.
In March, Evans was involved in a controversial spitting incident with Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse.
He was given a six-match ban by the Football Association and has featured just once for United since.
Johnson won the men's downhill event at the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo.
An attempted comeback at the age of 40 ended when he suffered a traumatic brain injury when he crashed during a training run in March 2001.
Johnson had been living in a care home in Gresham, Oregon, since suffering a major stroke in 2010.
The Los Angeles-born skier, who grew up in Oregon, came to prominence when he became the first male American skier to win a World Cup downhill race, in Wengen, Switzerland in January 1984, before predicting he would follow it up with an Olympic gold - which he did.
However, he subsequently fell out with US skiing officials. He had financial support withdrawn after turning up three days late for a training camp in 1985, and was suspended in 1988 for disciplinary reasons, failing to make the Winter Olympics team that year.
His attempt at a comeback in time for the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City ended with a crash at Montana's Big Mountain resort. He barely survived, suffering critical injuries, and spent three weeks in a coma.
Sepsis happens when the body's immune system - the way the body responds to bugs and germs - goes into overdrive.
The initial problem can be quite mild and start anywhere - from a cut on the finger to a chest or urine infection, for example.
But when the immune system overreacts this can lead to an unintended but catastrophic attack on the body.
If left untreated this sets off a cascade of reactions - from shock to organ failure and even death.
There is a lot of research going on to attempt to find out what exactly triggers this sometimes fatal reaction.
An NHS England report suggests in 2014, more than 123,000 people suffered from sepsis.
And it estimates around 37,000 people die from it in England each year.
Meanwhile, the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) published in November 2015, says sepsis kills more people than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined in the UK.
The enquiry suggests there are as many as 200,000 cases of sepsis a year in the UK, and up to 60,000 deaths.
But Dr Alex Goodwin, author of the NCEPOD report, says the numbers recorded by the NHS are likely to be an underestimate because of the way data is coded.
Responding to the case of William Mead, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said around 12,000 sepsis deaths a year may be avoidable.
Experts say the crux of the problem is that sepsis can have a number of faces.
In some cases, it can be very obvious that a patient has low blood pressure and a high temperature.
And patients might breathe rapidly and have a racing pulse, for example.
But early on, all these symptoms can be mistaken for influenza or other infections.
And added to this is the advice to GPs to make sure they don't prescribe antibiotics inappropriately - particularly for viral flu infections.
But without early treatment, sepsis can be fatal and every hour can count.
And in some cases, there can be very few obvious symptoms at all - until it is too late.
As the condition develops, symptoms may worsen and some more distinctive warning signs or "red flags" can emerge.
These vary from patient to patient, but after discussions with sepsis survivors the UK Sepsis Trust has compiled a list of the six most common signs.
They include:
A patient's blood pressure may plummet and red flags like these are signs that the body's organs, such as the lungs, brain and kidneys, are not getting enough blood and are beginning to fail.
In the case of babies and young children, some of these symptoms can present differently.
But experts caution it is important not to wait until red flags appear. And if they do, help must be sought immediately.
If spotted early, relatively simple treatment can be life-saving.
Patients may be given antibiotics and fluids through a drip. Oxygen may help too.
But once organs start to fail patients may need extra support in intensive care.
Experts say simple improvements could be made across the NHS to help prevent sepsis deaths.
The NCEPOD enquiry says there has been poor recording of patients' vital signs - their blood pressure and pulse for example - in both primary and hospital care.
Spotting a deterioration in these signs can help stop sepsis in its tracks.
The report recommends more doctors and nurses use early warning systems and screening checklists to prompt them to check for signs of sepsis.
NHS England published a wide-ranging sepsis action plan at the end of last year.
At the heart of it is the idea that staff across the NHS need to be trained to spot sepsis and be equipped to treat it correctly.
What is clear from the catalogue of failings highlighted by the case of William Mead is that this needs to apply to all frontline staff - from hospitals to helplines.
Last year, a campaign was set up in hospitals to help clinicians spot the signs quickly.
And Jeremy Hunt says a tool is now being developed to help better diagnosis of sepsis in primary care too.
When it comes to the helpline NHS 111, the health secretary says its algorithms need to be checked to make sure they are capable of flagging up sepsis.
Mr Hunt is also discussing the possibility of a public awareness campaign with Public Health England.
Meanwhile, more specific guidance for clinicians from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is due this year.

Swindon chairman Lee Power confirmed the club have changed their structure following the appointment of David Flitcroft as manager on 5 June.
Former Tottenham and Aston Villa boss Sherwood arrived at Swindon in November to oversee transfer activity.
However, Swindon won just seven of their 31 games after his appointment and were relegated from League One.
Sherwood's exit follows Power vowing to change the way Swindon works day-to-day in pursuit of promotion back to League One at the first attempt.
Power told BBC Wiltshire last month the club will take a "more traditional route" in recruitment, meaning former Barnsley and Bury manager Flitcroft will have sole control over transfers.
Flitcroft, who has brought Ben Futcher in from Bury as his assistant manager, will benefit from one of the biggest budgets in League Two, but said he still had to get "value for money" from his players.
"Budget doesn't guarantee anything. There have been some big-budget teams that haven't got out of the league in the last few years," he continued.
"We're competing against League One. Even though Swindon is a big draw, we're in League Two, and I think that could potentially be the Achilles heel to signing players.
"But there will be plenty of players that do want to come and it's been very encouraging so far."
Swindon have offered new contracts to captain Nathan Thompson, Yaser Kasim, Raphael Rossi-Branco, Jermaine Hylton and Jon Obika, but are yet to make any new signings this summer.
If, as the polls suggest, Jeremy Corbyn emerges victorious Labour will have chosen its most left-wing leader since Keir Hardie, the Merthyr MP who died exactly a century ago.
Despite calls for unity from all sides, Mr Corbyn would find it difficult to lead a parliamentary party where he has few supporters and Welsh Labour MPs are no keener on Mr Corbyn than their English colleagues.
On the other hand, a narrow defeat for Mr Corbyn might prove equally traumatic, with a newly enthused left prepared to take the fight to the new leadership over policy-making and parliamentary selections.
While Labour in Westminster have almost five years to sort themselves out before the next general election, in Wales the party faces a crucial contest next May when Carwyn Jones will be defending the record of the UK's only remaining Labour government.
While Welsh Labour will try and distance itself from any turmoil in Westminster during the election campaign, the Conservatives believe they could reap huge benefits from a Corbyn leadership particularly in the eleven Welsh constituencies they won in this year's general election.
Plaid Cymru though might be forced into a tactical rethink over their strategy to outflank Labour from the left.
A Corbyn win would almost certainly increase pressure for a federal Labour Party - a move long supported by many assembly members but viewed with suspicion by Welsh Labour MPs.
Parliamentarians horrified at the prospect a Corbyn leadership may well support a more autonomous Welsh party to put some distance between themselves and the new leadership.
Thousands of striking miners and police officers clashed at Orgreave coking plant near Rotherham in June 1984.
More than 120 officers and pickets were injured and 93 people arrested.
Speaking in the Commons, Andy Burnham said sections of a report with evidence of links between Orgreave and Hillsborough had been "redacted".
He said: "I promise the families the full truth about Hillsborough. I don't believe they will have it until we know the truth about Orgreave.
"[South Yorkshire Police] used the same underhand tactics against its own people in the aftermath of the miner's strike, that it would later use to more deadly affect against the people of Liverpool."
What was the "Battle of Orgreave"?
Legal papers demanding a public inquiry into police conduct during violent clashes of the 1984-5 miners' strike were handed to the government in December by the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) ruled South Yorkshire Police would not be investigated over Orgreave because the passage of time meant allegations of assault and misconduct at the plant "could not be pursued".
Mr Burnham continued: "There has been an IPCC report on Orgreave, but parts of it are redacted. It has been put to me that those parts contain evidence of direct links between Orgreave and Hillsborough.
"This, Mr Speaker, is the time for transparency not secrecy. Time for the people of South Yorkshire to know the full truth about their police force.
"So will the Home Secretary accept the legal submission for the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign and set up a disclosure process?"
Mr Burnham also urged Home Secretary Theresa May to "end the scandal of retirement" as an escape route for former South Yorkshire Police staff.
After hearing two years of evidence at Warrington Coroners' Court, a jury found the 96 football fans who died at the 1989 Hillsborough disaster were unlawfully killed.
From telephone exchanges to landlines in every home and - in the past 20 years or so - the advent of mobile phones and now smartphones, the way we communicate with each other has come a long way.
But what, you may ask, has that got to do with health care? Well, perhaps more than you think.
While medical science has revolutionised the treatments available, the same cannot be said for where the care is given. Hospitals - and the district general hospital in particular - still dominate.
There is, it seems, a fear of change.
It is a point not lost on NHS England's Prof Keith Willett. He is the national director of acute care and is leading the review of how services are organised in the NHS.
He says the comparison with the telecommunications industry is an interesting one. He believes society as a whole is too "conservative" when it comes to embracing change to the NHS.
He believes we remain too fixated on the "bricks and mortar" than what works best. To illustrate the point, NHS England has released figures today showing that since the reorganisation of trauma care into regional networks in 2012, 600 lives have been saved.
The analysis - by the Trauma Audit and Research Network - has calculated that survival rates have increased by 30% for the 16,000 patients brought to hospital each year with major trauma from road accidents, falls and assaults.
But this is not a success story.
The case for changing the way trauma care was organised - it is now centred around 25 major hospitals - was put as long ago as 1988 by a report for the Royal College of Surgeons, by Sir Miles Irving.
NHS England calculates 6,000 lives could have been saved by introducing the reform earlier.
So why did it take so long? Many theories have been put forward over the years from politicians being too quick to put their names to campaigns to save local hospitals to NHS leaders - both doctors and managers - being too timid to put the case for change.
Recently, there has been some confusion over the direction the NHS is heading.
Much was made of the comments by Simon Stevens, the new chief executive of NHS England, about the role smaller hospitals have to play.
Some interpreted this as rejection of the desire for these specialist centres.
But the case being made today - Mr Stevens is making a speech to an Age UK conference in London when he will reference the data on trauma care - will make it clear.
Bigger when it comes to specialist care from stroke services to heart surgery is definitely better.
That is not to say there isn't a role for smaller hospitals, there is.
Even after the trauma care reorganisation, district general hospitals are still responsible for rehabilitation and carry out follow up appointments. But as the phone industry has shown, embracing change holds the key to progress.
The case was brought by inmates who were in prison during various elections between 2009 and 2011.
This is the fourth time the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK's blanket ban on giving convicted prisoners the vote.
The court has called for a change in the law but this has not happened.
Both the previous Labour government and current coalition have failed to legislate - although various proposals have been debated in an attempt to end the long-running row with the Strasbourg court.
This latest case concerned 1,015 prisoners, a grouping of long-standing prisoner voting cases, and the court ruled there had been a violation of Article 3 of the first protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights - right to a free election.
BBC legal affairs correspondent Clive Coleman said the ruling was "not a surprise" and there had been a succession of similar judgements over the last decade.
He said there was now a "stand-off" and nothing would happen until after the next election.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "The government has always been clear that it believes prisoner voting is an issue that should ultimately be decided in the UK. However we welcome the court's decision to refuse convicted prisoners costs or damages."
Sean Humber, from law firm Leigh Day, representing 554 of the prisoners, welcomed the court's ruling and said they would be seeking a review of the decision not to award compensation.
"Unfortunately, we seem to be in the sad position where the government is taking an almost perverse pleasure in ignoring successive court judgments and is content to continue violating the human rights of thousands of its citizens," he said.
"It should be worrying to all of us that the government appears to have so little regard for its international human rights obligations or indeed the rule of law."
The European court first ruled back in 2005 that the UK's blanket ban on prisoners voting must be amended.
The case was brought by convicted killer John Hirst, who has since been released after serving 25 years in jail.
After the latest court ruling, he said: "It is a real shame that compensation has not been awarded. While I can get some satisfaction from the ruling, the government keeps ignoring what the ECHR is saying.
"You don't lose your status in civil society just because you're in prison - you are still a member of the public, you are still a member of society. The vote has nothing to do with the actual punishment."
The Lebanese Shia militant group blamed Israel for the air strike.
Qantar was jailed in Israel in 1979 for a notorious deadly attack, and freed as part of a controversial prisoner swap with Hezbollah in 2008.
An Israeli minister welcomed his death but did not confirm that Israel was responsible.
When asked about Israeli involvement, Construction and Housing Minister Yoav Gallant told Israel Radio: "I am not confirming or denying anything to do with this matter."
But he added: "It is good that people like Samir Qantar will not be part of our world."
Later on Sunday, at least two rockets were fired into northern Israel from Lebanon, Lebanese security forces told AFP news agency.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said three rockets struck open areas, with no reports yet of damage or injuries.
Qantar was known as the "dean of Lebanese prisoners" for the time he spent imprisoned in Israel.
He was convicted of murder over an attack on a civilian apartment block in Nahariya in 1979, carried out when he was 16.
Two policemen, a man and his four-year-old daughter were killed. A baby girl was accidentally smothered by her mother as she hid in a cupboard.
He was accused of killing the four-year-old girl with a rifle butt, which he denied.
His release in 2008 in exchange for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah in 2006 was highly controversial.
Qantar is believed to have become a key figure in Hezbollah since his release.
Hezbollah has sent hundreds of fighters to fight alongside troops loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the country's conflict.
In September, the US state department designated him a terrorist saying he had become one of Hezbollah's "most visible and popular spokesmen".
"Since Qantar's return, he has also played an operational role, with the assistance of Iran and Syria, in building up Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure in the Golan Heights," it said.
The rockets hit a residential building in Jaramana near Damascus on Saturday night. The area is a stronghold of government supporters.
The Assad loyalist group, the National Defence Forces in Jaramana, said: "Two Israeli warplanes carried out the raid which targeted the building in Jaramana and struck the designated place with four long-range missiles."
Israel is believed to have carried out a number of attacks inside Syria during its civil conflict, targeting Hezbollah.
The GLA's new remit, which currently covers food, farming and shellfish, will extend into catering, car washing, care homes and cleaning industries.
The Nottingham-based GLA said "highly experienced investigators" would make a difference.
The Home Office estimates there are up to 13,000 modern slaves in various trades across the UK.
'Horrendous crime'
Experts have said it is hard to know the extent of modern slavery as it so hidden and many victims are too scared to come forward.
However, figures from the National Referral Mechanism, a framework for identifying victims of human trafficking, suggests more people are being rescued.
The National Crime Agency said 3,266 "potential victims" were referred to the NRM in 2015, which is 40% higher than the figure for 2014.
Paul Broadbent, chief executive of GLA, said: "[The new remit] will include any sector where labour is used and potentially exploited.
"We're talking about anything from withholding holiday pay right up to people being trafficked into the country and being kept like dogs in kennels and exploited for their labour."
Dave Walsh, at Derby University, has designed a new course to train people in the food industry and legitimate labour agencies about new legal duties to spot and challenge modern slavery.
"Modern slavery is a horrendous crime," he said.
"We see people having to work 96-100 hours per week, sleep 17 to a room and have very little money for food.
"There are threats towards themselves but also to their families.
"Even the most conservative estimates believe there's 11,000-13,000 people in modern slavery in various industries in the UK and that has got to be stamped out."
The GLA's new team will start from 1 October.
Doctors at University College London, which is leading the study, said it was an important moment in tackling the incurable condition.
Current medication treats the symptoms, but cannot slow or prevent the progressive damage to the brain.
The Huntington's Disease Association said the trial was "very exciting".
The disease is caused by the brain producing a mutant protein called huntingtin which damages and ultimately kills off brain cells.
As Huntington's progresses it leads to uncontrolled movements, behaviour changes and poor cognition. Life expectancy after diagnosis can be as short as 10 years.
The drug, known as ISIS-HTT, is from an experimental class of medicines known as "gene silencers".
The huntingtin gene in a patient's DNA contains the instructions for building the destructive protein.
Those blueprints are carried to a cell's protein-making factories and the drug effectively kills the messenger.
The trial will be led by Prof Sarah Tabrizi, the director of the Huntington's Disease Centre at University College London.
She told the BBC News website: "It's the beginning of quite an important journey in Huntington's disease, it is clearly very early but this is a step forward.
"The preclinical work shows that if you lower production of the mutant protein then animals recover a large amount of motor function.
"Huntington's is a really terrible disease that blights families. I know a mother whose husband and three children were affected, this would have a massive impact [if it works]."
The trial will test the drug's safety by progressively increasing the dose in 32 patients.
It will be injected into the spinal cord of patients once a month for four months and they will then be observed for a further three months.
Clinicians will be ensuring there are no dangerous side-effects, such as allergic reactions, as well as measuring the impact on levels of the corrupted huntingtin protein.
At the highest doses they hope to halve levels of the protein.
Cath Stanley, the chief executive of the Huntington's Disease Association, told the BBC News website: "There's a lot of different trials and avenues of research, but this is the most exciting.
"People develop Huntington's disease between the age of 30 and 50 so delaying it for a few years allows people to spend more time with family in the prime of their life.
"This is the first, potential, major breakthrough in terms of delaying symptoms of Huntington's disease, it's such an exciting step forward."
The drug has been developed by ISIS-pharmaceuticals.
It targets strands of genetic code called messenger RNA which carry instructions for huntingtin out of a cell's nucleus.
The drug is a manufactured stretch of genetic code that is the mirror-image of the messenger RNA that binds strongly to it to neutralising it.
In the UK, 12 in every 100,000 people have the condition.

Dunlop led throughout and won by 13.3 seconds from Peter Hickman for his second victory of the week, and his third in the blue riband event.
The triumph sees the 28-year-old move into fourth place in the all-time solo winners' list.
The race was run over four laps after initially being red-flagged for an incident involving Ian Hutchinson.
Sixteen-time winner Hutchinson was taken by helicopter to Noble's Hospital after sustaining a broken femur in a crash at the 27th Milestone.
Dunlop had equalled the late Mike Hailwood's tally of 14 wins by taking victory in the Supersport race earlier in the week.
An opening lap of 132.29mph saw the Northern Irishman enjoy a 4.2 second lead over Hickman by the end of lap one and he increased that by five seconds thanks to a second circuit of 132.90.
"Today we have made the impossible possible on a brand new bike," said the Bennetts Suzuki rider, who also won the showpiece finale in 2014 and 2016.
"It was hard work and I was trying to go as easy on the bike as I could. The bike never missed a beat and everyone remembers who won the Senior."
Hickman, who had been battling for the lead with Hutchinson when the initial race was halted, secured his fifth podium from five starts, having never previously finished in the top three prior to this week.
Kawasaki rider Dean Harrison was 10 seconds behind the Lincolnshire rider in third to replicate his result in the Superbike race on Sunday.'
James Hillier, Michael Rutter and Josh Brookes completed the top-six leaderboard.
Manxman Conor Cummins ended eighth but his Padgett's Honda team-mate Bruce Anstey retired at Bedstead Corner on the second lap while contending for a rostrum place.
The four 6ft (1.8m) metal and fibre-glass poppies were among 30 placed in the area by Bracknell Forest Council.
The authority said whoever was responsible "must have planned" the thefts to remove them as they were bolted into the ground.
It appealed for the thieves to return them as they are re-used annually.
Councillor Dorothy Hayes, executive member for environmental services, described the thefts as "heinous".
"It is utterly shameful to steal items which are a simple memorial to those who gave their lives in armed conflicts," she said.
The poppies were taken from the roundabouts at Raeburn Way, Sandhurst, Bowland Drive/New Forest Ride, Foresters Way and the 3M roundabout.
The poppies have been installed at the roundabouts and other roadside locations across the borough ahead of Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday since 2013.
Anyone with any information about the thefts is asked to contact Thames Valley Police.
The remaining high-rise blocks were brought down together by controlled explosion. The BBC Scotland news website looks at the history of the controversial development.
The Red Road estate was a development of eight tower blocks in the north east of Glasgow between Balornock and Barmulloch.
The steel-framed high-rise flats were designed in 1962 by architect Sam Bunton for Glasgow Corporation (later Glasgow City Council) and built between 1964 and 1969.
Six of the eight blocks were traditional point-shaped and had 30 storeys. Two were broader slab-shaped and had 25 storeys.
The eight blocks were designed to accommodate about 4,700 people.
The flats were commissioned to help tackle a post-war housing crisis in Glasgow. Many of the city's homes at that time were rundown tenements.
In 1947 a delegation from Glasgow visited Marseilles to see new tower blocks designed by the French architect Le Corbusier.
Following that visit, a high-rise policy was introduced to Glasgow.
The Red Road site - a former cabbage patch - was among several sites chosen in Glasgow for the new high-rise homes.
Early residents welcomed the move from overcrowded and rundown tenement flats into the clean and modern tower blocks.
For some it was the first time they had an inside toilet.
In a BBC interview in 2012, one of the first residents, Jean McGeough, said the flats meant community and neighbours shared cleaning the hallways on a rota system.
"They were lovely the houses and it's breaking my heart to see them coming down," she said.
The original vision for the Red Road estate was more modest than the eight tower blocks that eventually went up and by the end of construction the development was something of a social experiment.
During the 1970s the estate gained a growing reputation for crime, antisocial behaviour, and alcohol and drug problems.
A fatal fire on the 23rd floor of one tower block in 1977 also saw some families refuse to return and brand the tower blocks a death trap.
By the 1980s, increased security measures, such as CCTV, were introduced to help tackle social problems. Two of the tower blocks were also transferred for use by students and the YMCA.
In 2003, the controversial decision was taken to transfer all of Glasgow's 81,000 council homes to the independent landlord, Glasgow Housing Association (GHA).
The not-for-profit body announced in 2005 that it would demolish one of the tallest blocks as part of a regeneration plan for the area. It was later decided that all of the flats would be demolished.
The first tower block was brought down in June 2012. The second demolition took place in May 2013.
In 2014, organisers of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow announced plans to bring five of the towers down simultaneously during the opening ceremony in the city later that year.
However, the plan proved controversial and was dropped after an online petition against the demolition gathered thousands of signatures.
In August this year, Glasgow Housing Association said the remaining six blocks would be brought down together in the one-off demolition.
The prevailing view is that the social experiment of housing almost 5,000 people in the flats was ultimately a failure.
However, for some residents the tower blocks raised their living standards and are fondly remembered.
The sheer scale of the development, and its brooding presence on Glasgow's skyline for decades, has inevitably meant the flats have become an integral part of the city's cultural history.
This has found expression in books and films, notably the 2006 Bafta-winning Andrea Arnold film Red Road and the 2011 Alison Irvine novel, This Road is Red.
GFH, a Dubai-based private equity group, claims the alleged wrongdoing is directly connected to their ownership and subsequent sale of Leeds.
Haigh, 36, was employed by GFH in December 2012 but resigned as an employee earlier this year.
He strenuously denies the allegations.
However he was arrested shortly after landing in Dubai and has spent the past three nights in custody on the strength of the allegations.
A close friend of Haigh's told the BBC: "David has done absolutely nothing wrong or illegal. He is appalled to find himself in this position.
"However, as someone who knows Dubai well and respects its institutions he is confident that the authorities will see these allegations for what they really are and clear him from any wrongdoing."
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of the arrest of a British National in Dubai on 18 May 2014. We are providing consular assistance."
GFH sold the club to Italian businessman Massimo Cellino in April.
Professor Elaine Thomas was recognised for her services to the creative arts in higher education.
The university has more than 7,000 students at campuses in Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone and Rochester.
Prof Thomas said she was delighted that the valuable role the university plays in society had been recognised.
Prof Thomas, of Farnham, joined the former Surrey Institute of Art and Design in 2000.
She managed the merger of the University College with the Kent Institute of Art and Design in 2005.
In 2008, she oversaw the creation of the University for the Creative Arts.
Other recipients in the list include Christopher Denard, the head of trading standards at Surrey County Council, who becomes an MBE.
Also recognised was Michael Hughes, of Guildford, for services to legal education. He becomes an MBE.
In his first interview with a foreign journalist, Zakariya Ahmed Ismail Hersi - who once had a $3m (£1.9m; €2.7m) bounty from the US government on his head - condemned al-Shabab's attack on Garissa University College in Kenya in April, where 148 students were killed.
Speaking at a government safe-house in Mogadishu, he described it as "wrong and unlawful" and offered his condolences to the victims and their families.
Inside his heavily guarded residence he tells me the story of his rise through the ranks of the jihadists until the group's policy of extreme attacks on civilians forced him to flee for his life.
Mr Hersi's defection - a lengthy process that appears to have begun in 2013, if not before - is now the centrepiece of a new government amnesty initiative designed to convince other militant leaders to follow suit.
"The path became wrong... and I had a tipping point," he said in fluent English.
Mr Hersi - widely known as Zaki - is a youthful, slim 33-year-old with a neatly trimmed beard and moustache.
Wearing a new, Western-style checked shirt he struck me as proud, thoughtful, and extremely careful in the way he sought to present himself as a devout Somali patriot, who had been trapped inside a militant group that had lost its way.
"Now they're trying to kill me," he said of his former colleagues in al-Shabab, which explains the tight security at the safe house where a soldier manned a makeshift watchtower and two more guarded the gate.
After months of debriefing, Mr Hersi is now technically a free man, with access to a mobile phone. "I'm on social media, Twitter and Facebook," he volunteered.
I asked him if he had been in touch with people in al-Shabab, and indeed whether it was a condition of his defection that he try to persuade others to swap sides.
"It's not a condition. But if I got a [phone] connection I will try to encourage them definitely," he said, praising his treatment at the hands of Somalia's intelligence services.
"They treated me very nice. Welcomed me in a very good way and I thank the government for that welcome."
Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud says Mr Hersi's defection - the third of its kind in recent times - is the result of growing military pressure on al-Shabab.
"There was no defection two or even one year back. They were not fighting among themselves or killing some of their own leaders. The reason we have some high value targets defecting today is because of pressure... from the Somali National Army and Amisom (the African Union peacekeeping force) and in the air by our international partners," President Mohamud told me.
He was referring to the US drone strikes which he praised for their "minimal collateral effect - surgically targeted to al-Shabab's high level leadership".
President Mohamud acknowledged that al-Shabab remains a powerful force inside Somalia - as shown by its continuing attacks in Mogadishu - and that the government's own weaknesses were "considerable".
But he said the government was improving its approach to tackling the group, citing a recent attack on the education ministry in the city that was quickly contained by security forces.
"That would never have ended like that in the past. Someone who wants to die - you hardly know how to stop them.
"But we succeeded to minimize the impact. Every single attack al-Shabab makes, the casualties are less, because we are learning. The Somali people are learning and are alerting the security forces," he said.
Mr Hersi told me he had given the government "very good advice" about how to defeat al-Shabab. He declined to give details but said he thinks "they're doing the right things".
However, he did suggest that a few amnesties and a few drone strikes would not be enough, and that "a complete strategy" was required to tackle "the thousands still inside the organisation".
Mr Hersi joined the militant group in 2007. He had been studying economics in Pakistan and came home for a holiday to get married.
Neighbouring Ethiopia had recently invaded Somalia, with implicit US support, to oust the Islamic Courts Union (ICU). The conservative religious group had succeeded in bringing much needed stability to Mogadishu, but it included figures linked to international terrorism.
The ICU was quickly eclipsed by its increasingly militant armed wing, al-Shabab.
"Our aim was to liberate the country," said Mr Hersi, proudly comparing the fight against Ethiopia to Britain's war against Nazi Germany.
"Did Churchill waste his time? We were doing just what they were doing," he said forcefully.
Mr Hersi appears to have risen quickly in the ranks.
"As an educated person my job was in a leading position. I was running some offices, like media, like regional affairs. In 2010 I joined military intelligence," he says.
Mr Hersi eventually ran that group, but vehemently denied that he also led al-Shabab's notorious Amniyat - the intelligence service responsible for planning atrocities like the attack in Kenya on Nairobi's Westgate Mall in September 2013.
"Such operations were not in the duty of the military. It was Aminyat's operation, not ours. I was not in al-Shabab at that time. I left in June 2013," he said.
It was a growing sense of disillusionment with the group's direction that Mr Hersi says pushed him towards defecting.
Forming an alliance with al-Qaeda "was a very big mistake. Our duty at that time was only to liberate Somalia - our interests were local." He added that it had a huge effect and diverted al-Shabab from is purpose.
"Now it turns to terror acts, organised crime... we were against all that. In late 2010/2011 there was a lot of misunderstanding within the core leadership of al-Shabab... in terms of these terrorism events.
"When we failed to get an agreement with [the group's former leader, killed by a US drone strike in 2014, Ahmed Abdi] Godane and his inner circle, they started to silence all opposition.
"They started arresting and killing... some of my colleagues have been killed; some are still in prison," he said, insisting that he had finally abandoned al-Shabab in order to save his own life.
Who are al-Shabab?
Al-Shabab recruiting in Kenyan towns
I suggested to Mr Hersi that he was lying about his past, neatly tailoring his curriculum vitae, and had only jumped ship because he had lost a power struggle within al-Shabab.
His response illustrated the moral and political tight rope he is now walking as he seeks to win some sort of public acceptance outside al-Shabab.
On the one hand, Mr Hersi seemed stung by the idea that he had lost power within the organisation.
"When I was leaving, I was in a fully powerful position. I decided on my own choice," he said tetchily, insisting he had defected with only one precondition, that he not be harmed, or handed over "to some other foreign countries".
On the other hand, Mr Hersi sought to present himself as an isolated figure in a highly bureaucratic system that prevented him from knowing about, or having any responsibility for, al-Shabab's brutal activities.
"I haven't seen such an event," he said of the group's frequent public stonings and beheadings.
"Most of the time I was in civil positions... a normal job," he later insisted. "The wrong activities came from other persons. But me personally, I believe I didn't commit any wrong thing.
"Such an act [like the Garissa attack] is not discussed in an open way. It is between the Amniyat and the Emir [leader] only.
"This is the nature of the organisation. You have to be with your duty only. You can't ask anything about what they're doing. Otherwise they will suspect you - so you have to save your life," Mr Hersi said.
Some may find this hard to believe. But in public, at least, Somalia's intelligence services are hiding any scepticism.
"I think that's the typical story of many, many former al-Shabab members, whether at a senior level or low level. We understand that's the situation [with Mr Hersi]," said senior government counter-terrorism advisor Hussein Sheikh Ali.
"Of course he's been part of that organisation at the decision-making level, but we don't have any evidence that he was part of any particular [terror] incident," he said.
Mr Ali declined to reveal how many senior al-Shabab leaders were now in talks with the government about defecting, but credible sources suggest about 10 of the top 50 figures may have made some sort of contact.
"We cannot kill every member, or put every member in prison. The plan is to offer them a chance to leave - to give them an exit route where they can change their mind.
"So we must persuade them that they must come to a normal life. We're talking about senior levels - a very few at the decision-making level," said Mr Ali.
An earlier defection - of former leader Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys - was widely considered to have been badly handled, with the elderly man shown publicly in handcuffs.
"Overall they want assurances that when they come over they will receive fair treatment and they will be able to live a normal life," said Mr Ali, giving a flavour of the sort of private discussions he has been having with al-Shabab leaders who appear to be following Mr Hersi's case with great interest.
"We want to keep him secure and help him to go back to a normal life. He's a very known figure with al-Shabab's leadership and overall within the organisation, and he is committed to talk to those members that he left... hopefully on a personal level.
"So this is a domino effect where all those members who left the organisation will tell the real story here so those remaining can make up their mind.... that coming over is not something they're going to regret. I'm sure they're watching very closely," said Mr Ali.
Somalia's government, which is coordinating its defectors programme closely with the international community, is combining the carrot of an amnesty with the stick of its own new "wanted" list, with 13 names, and a combined bounty of at least $1.3m (€1.1m, £800,000).
Will there be a domino effect? Some observers are sceptical.
"I'm not persuaded this was the coup the government and its partners tried to portray it as," said Somalia analyst Matt Bryden.
"These public recantations are given a lot of importance. They're noteworthy, but there's only so much value to be had in parading defectors or prisoners in this way,
"It's clear these decapitations have not seriously degraded the organisation's capability," he added, pointing to the continued attacks in both Somalia and Kenya.
Although Somalia's government says some 80% of the country is now under its control - a dramatic shift from just 3 or 4 years ago - the organisation clearly remains a highly influential and powerful force.
There is growing concern about the extent to which al-Shabab has now infiltrated Kenya, as well as real fears of escalating violence in Jubaland, the border area inside Somalia where Kenya's military has sought to carve out a buffer zone.
Meanwhile, Mr Hersi waits in his safe-house.
The afternoon I met him he seemed generally relaxed, often breaking into a smile, and claimed to be busy planning his own "bright future... saving the country".
There is talk of a cooling-off period, perhaps studying abroad, but Mr Hersi did not hide his own political ambitions.
"I haven't decided yet, but it seems so," he said, when I asked if he wanted to run for office in Somalia.
As for his agenda - he said he had no interest in al-Shabab's professed commitment to building a regional Islamic caliphate. "We have Sharia law here [already]. We have to make further developments... in security, education. To improve the livelihoods of the people," he said.
In the gloomy, but spacious house he now shares with his own personal bodyguards and an assistant, he showed me a small collection of books.
I spotted Islam and Democracy, The Black Man's Burden and Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point.
"I live a normal life," he said with a short, ambiguous laugh. His wife and children are, he said, also being kept somewhere secure in Mogadishu.
I asked him if he felt joining al-Shabab had been a mistake, whether he was weighed down by regret. No, he insisted.
So did he really think that people in Mogadishu - a city now slowly emerging from decades of anarchy and conflict - might one day vote for him?
"The vote depends on your agenda. And how you prepare it," he said, in confident tones of a man shrugging off one mission, and embarking on a new one.

The child and his parents had become separated during the Bastille Day incident.
Yohlaine Ramasitera, a friend of the boy's parents, posted a picture of herself with the missing baby on Facebook, and included her phone number in the post.
Yohlaine's appeal was spotted by her friend Rebecca Boulanger a pastor at Nice's Victory Christian Church. She was at home with her husband Phillipe and their 18-month-old daughter.
Boulanger wrote a Facebook post in English appealing for help to find the child.
"Yohlaine is my friend and member of my congregation. When I saw her appeal about her friend's missing baby I reacted the way I would want people to react if it was my child," she said.
"I contacted people through social media and asked them to share, pray and believe we would find the boy. We were due to go to see the fireworks that night but decided to stay home and put our baby to sleep, so we were shocked when we heard the news."
Soon Boulanger's Facebook friends began sharing the appeal to find the missing baby. They included the boy's aunt whose own post was shared 22 thousand times.
Meanwhile members of the child's family were out on the streets frantically looking for him.
"My husband and I were doing what we could from home monitoring social media and spreading the news. I was in touch with Yohlaine throughout the evening." Boulanger explains.
Within two hours Yohlaine was contacted by a local woman who had seen her Facebook post. She said she had taken the baby to her home and he was safe and well.
"It was a miracle." Boulanger said. "A picture of the child was requested from the woman to ensure that it was him, and then finally the baby was reunited with his worried parents."
Boulanger is in regular contact with the family and says the boy's parents are doing better but have requested privacy.
"There was a lot of chaos that night and we know lots of people caught up in that terrible tragedy." She says.
"So we are opening the doors of the church all weekend for those affected.
"People often criticise social media but one of the joys is that it has the power to bring hope to people amidst the darkness."

In 12 campaign polls so far, six have suggested narrow Conservative leads, four had equally narrow Labour leads and the remainder were dead heats.
The average share of those not voting Conservative, Labour or Lib Dem in those polls was 24% - double the actual 12% who voted for parties outside the main three Westminster parties in 2010.
An average of those dozen polls suggests the Conservatives on 34%, three points down on their vote share in May 2010 - an election they lost; Labour also on a 34% average, some four points up on their dire 2010 performance; the Lib Dems on an average of 8% - one third of the support they received in 2010; UKIP's average was 14% (up 11 points on 2010) and the Greens were on 5% (up four points).
How these dozen individual poll results play out in 650 individual constituency contests on 7 May will doubtless be a joy to behold; but until then we mere mortals have to make what we can of the evidence.

At present it appears like the finish of the 10,000 metres, where no-one has the momentum to break from the pack and everyone is bunched, waiting for the bell signalling the final lap.
If the Conservatives hoped to torpedo the television debates and limit any Ed Miliband bounce they seem to have been only partially successful.
Polls following both debates suggested that Ed Miliband performed as well as David Cameron, thus significantly better than his unprepossessing earlier, pre-debate, poll ratings would have suggested.
Survation (sampled 2-3 April 2015) were first out of the blocks with a post-debate national poll that gave Labour a two-point lead and Ed Miliband his first-ever net positive approval rating with the company.
The Conservatives struggle to make headway on the economy. Perhaps one reason can be found in the Ashcroft poll (sampled 20-22 March, 2015) which suggested that 23% thought they and their family would be better off under the Conservatives, compared with 18% who thought they would be better off under Labour.
However, the key finding of the poll, it seemed to me, was the 53% who said that neither party would make a difference. The distinctive feature of the months approaching this election has been the number of opinion poll respondents who believe very strongly that none of the established Westminster parties has an answer to what they regard as the most important issues facing the country today.
The Lib Dems face one of their toughest challenges in many decades. Can they defy political gravity and hold on to many more seats than their national poll share suggests? Individual constituency polls point to them pulling off such an extraordinary coup. The big unknown is whether they can withstand ferocious assaults from both Labour and the Conservatives over the next few weeks.
UKIP also have to survive being squeezed. With around 40% of their support coming from 2010 Conservative voters they are playing an important part in this election. They seem to be losing a little of their share but nowhere near the collapse the Conservatives desperately need.

The SNP won most seats in the local elections but the Scottish Conservatives made significant gains.
Ruth Davidson said the results proved that her party was the only one which could challenge the Nationalists in the upcoming general election.
Labour and the Lib Dems said they would target seats in a bid to oust SNP MPs.
The first minister admitted the Conservatives in Scotland had "a good performance by their standards", with the party returning a record number of councillors north of the border.
But she insisted the SNP had "won this election comfortably" with her party ending up with "more votes, more seats, more councils where we are the largest party, not just compared to every other party but compared to five years ago".
Ms Sturgeon said: "Yes, the Tories made gains and had a good performance by their standards - but that support came from Labour not the SNP, so Labour and the Tories are fighting it out for second place while the SNP continues to be comfortably in first place."
She spoke out after Scottish Conservatives won a record 276 councillors north of the border - more than double the 115 they secured five years ago - with Tories elected in places such as Paisley's Ferguslie Park, the most deprived part of Scotland.
The SNP remains the largest party in local government with 431 councillors voted in.
But if voting patterns are similar at the general election on 8 June, a surge in Conservative support could see Ruth Davidson's party oust some SNP MPs from Westminster.
Meanwhile, Labour slumped to become the third largest party in Scotland's councils, and was kicked out of power in its Glasgow heartland for the first time in almost 40 years.
Ms Davidson said the results showed "only the Scottish Conservatives have the strength to fight back against the SNP".
She said: "We will speak up for the millions of Scots who have had enough of the uncertainty and division of the last few years.
"We will stand up for everyone who doesn't want a second referendum on independence."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale, who has been campaigning in East Lothian, also said there had been a "clear backlash against the SNP's plans for a divisive second independence referendum".
However, Ms Sturgeon, who joined the SNP's new council group in Glasgow, said: "I've heard lots of ludicrous arguments in my time in politics but this takes the prize for the most ludicrous argument."
She insisted there was "not a shred of disappointment" that the SNP had failed to secure an overall majority in Glasgow City Council, where Labour had been in power since 1980.
Ms Sturgeon said: "I'm over the moon that we are the largest party in Glasgow and are about to form an administration in the city."
She added: "The term historic is often overused in politics but to see 40 years of Labour control in Glasgow brought to an end to be replaced by a new SNP city government probably makes that word 'historic' appropriate."
Ms Davidson spent the day campaigning in Gordon, where Alex Salmond is the SNP's candidate - one of the Conservative's key targets of the general election campaign.
The Scottish Tory leader said: "This week's local government election has shown we are the only party in Scotland with the strength to fight back against the SNP - in every part of Scotland.
"We won the local government election in Gordon this week, beating the SNP into second place. It means that in this seat, as in many others, it is a two-horse race between us and the Nationalists.
"As is the case right across Scotland, the choice in Gordon is clear.
"It's between a Scottish National Party that will to take us back to more division and instability, and a Scottish Conservative party that will fight against another referendum so we can all move on together."
Scottish Labour deputy leader Alex Rowley meanwhile insisted his party was still a "major party" in local government, despite losing seats.
Mr Rowley stressed: "The SNP failed to win a single majority anywhere in Scotland, and the nature of the voting system means that cross-party deals may be agreed."
A meeting of the party's Scottish Executive Committee - which includes Ms Dugdale, Mr Rowley, trade unions and others - agreed Labour would not do any deals which would result in increased austerity for Scotland's poorest people.
And James Kelly, the party's general election campaign manager in Scotland, insisted they were looking to win seats from the SNP on 8 June.
"In places such as Glasgow, North Lanarkshire, East Lothian, Inverclyde, Fife and elsewhere, the Tories are in a distant third place," he said.
"In a first-past-the-post general election, it's now abundantly clear it is only Labour that can defeat the SNP in these seats."
Lib Dem Willie Rennie, who was on the campaign trail in Edinburgh West, pointed out that their candidate in the nearby Almond ward got more than 6,000 votes on Thursday - more than any other candidate in Scotland since 1994.
"The results like this across Scotland are a real springboard to beat the SNP where we are challenging them on 8 June," he said.
"East Dunbartonshire, Argyll, Caithness and North East Fife were superb. We made gains in Gordon and Ross, Skye and Lochaber too.
"Our pro-UK, pro-Europe message with investment in education and mental health is strongest in the seats where we are challenging the SNP at Westminster."
The Met Office has issued amber "be prepared" warnings of rain for much of north east and central Scotland on Saturday and Sunday.
They cover Grampian, Tayside, central Scotland and Fife until 21:00 on Monday.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) currently has 23 flood warnings in place and three alerts.
They are mostly for the Tayside, Angus, and Dundee areas, as well as Aberdeen and Ballater in Aberdeenshire.
The warnings come as Scotland continues to clean up after Storm Frank hit on Wednesday.
The RNLI was drafted in on Saturday evening to help restore electricity supplies to Ballater which has been without power since the storm.
Despite heavy winds and driving rain, Aberdeen RNLI volunteers Bill Deans and Calum Reed used rockets to fire a power line across the River Dee at the Cambus O' May at the A93.
Scottish Hydro engineers were then able to connect up the wires and restore some power to the area.
Insp Simon Reid said there were likely to be some road closures but said it was difficult to predict where they would be.
"We would ask the public to be mindful of road closures," he said. "If roads are closed they are closed for a reason. They are there for safety. Please be sensible, adhere to them and don't put yourselves or others at risk."
A cable damaged by Storm Frank led to the loss of the telephone service, including 999 calls, in Braemar and Crathie.
Work has been carried out to repair the cable and BT and the Red Cross have provided temporary cover through communication vehicles in those areas.
The vehicle in Braemar was set up in the square in Marr Road and in Crathie the cover was provided in the main car park near the church.
Ch Insp Richard Craig said: "Police are continuing to visit vulnerable people in Braemar, Crathie and Ballater and have officers within Braemar Police Station.
"Anyone requiring the emergency services is advised to speak to an officer at the police station or utilise the communication vehicles.
"We will continue to have officers patrolling in these areas and maintain contact with vulnerable people until the telephone lines have been fixed."
Police are advising people to stay away from already flooded areas.
Due to the weather warnings, Aberdeen City Council closed Duthie Park car park to vehicles on Saturday and people were asked to park vehicles away from areas near rivers.
The A93 between Ballater and Braemar remains closed after part of the road was washed away and the Invercauld Bridge is expected to remain closed to vehicles for a number of weeks.
Aberdeenshire Council is working to return residents to their homes in Ballater after they became flooded.
Police have warned people who are thinking of going out on rivers that water levels remain high in some areas and it is likely that debris from the recent flooding is still in the water.
Ch Insp Richard Craig said: "We are continuing to work with other agencies following the impact of Storm Frank across the Grampian region, particularly in Ballater, Crathie and Braemar and are also preparing for further rain and potential flooding.
"Due to the warnings in place, we are asking people to stay away from rivers and already flooded areas so you don't put yourself in danger or place further burden on communities that have been impacted by the flooding."
He added: "Additionally, we are advising people to park their vehicles away from areas close to rivers and to park on higher ground where possible.
"We also ask that motorists do not ignore road closure signs and avoid driving through flood water as there will be unseen dangers, including lifted man-hole covers.
"The closures are there for a reason and are to protect your safety. By ignoring these closures you put yourself at risk as well as the emergency services."
Aberdeenshire Council's duty emergency response co-ordinator Ritchie Johnson said: "A concerted effort is taking place to respond to the weather situation in Deeside and across Aberdeenshire in light of warnings in place from Sepa and the Met Office and working closely with partners, colleagues and the community.
"There are access issues into Braemar and we are working with Police Scotland and neighbouring authorities to ensure access south remains in place with the aim of protecting the road.
"We are also working on remedial action across the area with sandbags and floodgates being issued to protect roads and properties as well as preparing responses to any rising river levels across Aberdeenshire."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon attended a meeting of the Scottish government's resilience committee on Saturday to be updated on the latest weather forecasts.
Environment Minister Aileen McLeod said: "Scottish government ministers and officials are in constant contact with emergency services and other relevant agencies.
"We will ensure that everything possible is done to support the affected communities and that people and businesses are as prepared as they can be."
A kayaker and a canoeist died in separate incidents in northern Scotland after the storm hit.
The Met Office warned that some areas of Scotland could see as much as 20cm (8in) over the weekend and into Monday.
It added: "Given the saturated nature of the ground there is a greater risk of surface water and river flooding that might normally be expected."
Wednesday's heavy rain and gale-force winds left many people stranded, in temporary accommodation and without electricity, and also prompted the most severe "danger to life" flood warnings to be issued.
Patrick McLoughlin said Network Rail's five-year plan was being "reset" as it was "costing more and taking longer".
Schemes in the Midlands and Yorkshire would be put on hold, he told MPs.
Labour said it remained "concerned" about the future of the electrification of the Great Western line.
Sir Peter Hendy will become the new chairman of Network Rail in place of Gwynedd-born Richard Parry-Jones.
Mr McLoughin told MPs on Thursday that the planned programme of rail upgrades was being reviewed to "get it back on track".
"Electrification of the Great Western line is a top priority and I want Network Rail to concentrate its efforts on getting that right," he said.
But shadow transport secretary Michael Dugher said: "We remain concerned about the future of the electrification of the Great Western line."
Responding for the Welsh government, Economy Minister Edwina Hart said: "It's got to be kept on budget, it's got to be kept on time because ourselves and industry are desperate to ensure we have the electrification to Swansea.
"I'm hopeful that this is an absolute commitment with the government, but we will certainly be taking them to task if they deviate."
Network Rail chief executive Mark Carne told the BBC the challenges of delivering myriad improvement projects while still running a railway seven days a week were simply overwhelming.
Wales Office Minister Alun Cairns said he was "pleased to hear the strong commitment to south Wales electrification through to Swansea from the transport secretary today".
"This project will transform the lives of people in south Wales by attracting investors, linking businesses to suppliers and connecting people to jobs."
David Cameron had said during Prime Minister's Questions on Tuesday that ministers were "absolutely committed" to the London-Swansea upgrade following a newspaper report that some projects would be shelved. | More than half a million people are taking part in an annual UK birdwatch this weekend, recording species spotted in gardens and parks.

Brazil is in a deep recession that is affecting all aspects of the Olympics, which begin on 5 August.
Only about half of the 4.5 million Olympic tickets aimed at the domestic audience have been sold.
The numbers are much worse for the Paralympics, with only 300,000 out of three million domestic tickets sold.
"We are a bit worried with the Paralympics,'' said organising committee spokesman Mario Andrada. "We have to educate, publicise."
He added: "We have cut some services and made some important corrections.
"We have a balanced budget, with some creative solutions. Many of the future Games will be inspired by what we do today."
Organisers are scaling back in a number of areas to balance the operating budget of £1.3bn, with the proposed grandstand at the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon in central Rio de Janeiro one of the casualties.
The number of unpaid volunteers has also been cut from 70,000 to 50,000.
The images, recorded by Wildcat Haven, show the protected animal on a large branch near Huntly, Aberdeenshire.
The recording was made during a surveillance operation in the area involving camera traps.
Wildcat Haven said it was the first living wildcat to score full points on a scale which shows the level of breeding with domestic cats. Scottish Wildcat Action disputed that claim.
The rival organisation said 10 wildcats had been spotted in the area before, one of which was verified as the purest form.
Dr Paul O'Donoghue, chief scientific adviser for Wildcat Haven, said of the footage: "It feels a bit like looking at a unicorn.
"This animal is so often described as extinct, bordering on mythical, but we have always been confident they're still out there, and here's the evidence coming from quite an unexpected place."
A spokesman for Scottish Wildcat Action said: "This latest claim is certainly not news to Scottish Wildcat Action.
"The wildcat shown in this 'new' video is extremely similar to one we have already identified."
It is actually an extinct species of megapode bird - an ancient cousin of the modern Malleefowl, which famously builds mounds of earth and leaf litter in which to lay and incubate its eggs.
Progura gallinacea probably didn’t do that, however.
It lacked the Malleefowl’s large feet and specialised claws, the researchers tell a Royal Society journal.
Instead, it’s quite likely P. gallinacea simply buried its eggs in warm sand or soil, just as some living megapodes in Indonesia and the Pacific still do.
A team from Flinders University in Adelaide assessed new and old fossil finds in producing its report.
Some of the older specimens were first collected in the late 1800s; the newer ones came from the remarkable Thylacoleo caverns of Western Australia, where countless ancient animals fell to their deaths through limestone pipes.
The scientists actually describe five new species of extinct megapodes, of which Progura gallinacea was the biggest.
These birds all lived in the Pleistocene - a time period that covers 11,700 years ago to 2.5 million years ago. That means they would have existed alongside some of the iconic megafauna - such as the giant marsupials - that disappeared shortly after modern humans first entered the Australian continent.
Although many large extinct birds, such as dodos, were flightless, the Flinders team says Progura gallinacea definitely could take to the air.
It had strong wing bones and probably roosted in trees, the researchers say.
Their paper on the ancient megapodes is published in Open Science.
The star's brother, Chris Foote Wood, launched a campaign in July to erect a life-size sculpture of the entertainer in her home tone of Bury, Lancashire.
The online poll conducted by Bury Council, which charged £2 to cast a vote, closed at midday on Monday.
Wood died in April at the age of 62 after a short battle with cancer.
Chris Foote Wood thanked everyone who voted in the poll, adding: "I always wanted Victoria's fans to decide which character they wanted for her statue."
The bronze memorial is expected to be unveiled in the spring.
A crowdfunding appeal to help pay for it has already raised more than £22,000 of its £30,000 target - with the total including the cost of casting and transporting the statue.
Dame Judi Dench contributed £1,000 to the fund last month.
Bren was a factory canteen manager in Dinnerladies, which was broadcast on BBC One between 1998 and 2000.
The character won the poll with 60% of the vote, beating "Kimberley's friend", another of Wood's comedy characters, which scored 40%.
Bury Council has agreed to provide the site and be in charge of the maintenance. Wood was born in Prestwich but grew up in Bury.
The memorial is set to be built in Library Gardens in Manchester Road by May or June next year.
Council leader Rishi Shori said: "I'm really pleased that Bury Council has been able to support this project.
"Victoria Wood is one of the borough's most famous daughters and it is only fitting that there should be a permanent tribute in her home town.
"I hope when the sculpture is finally installed it will provide inspiration to others to follow their dreams."

Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi tweeted that 64 "innocent Afghans" were killed and 347 wounded.
A suicide attacker detonated a vehicle and a fierce gun battle followed in one of the deadliest attacks in Kabul for years.
A Taliban spokesman said the group carried out the attack.
It came a week after it said it was launching its "spring offensive", warning of large-scale attacks, although the group fights all year round.
Why are the Taliban resurgent in Afghanistan?
Tuesday's bombing happened during the morning rush hour in Pul-e-Mahmud, a busy neighbourhood where homes, mosques, schools and businesses nestle close to the ministry of defence, other ministries and military compounds.
The blast shattered windows up to 1.6km (one mile) away. A police officer told the Associated Press it was one of the most powerful explosions he had ever heard, and he could not see or hear anything for 20 minutes after.
It appears the initial blast cleared the way for Taliban fighters to enter the area - a commonly used tactic.
It had previously been reported that at least 28 people had been killed and 329 injured.
Mr Sediqqi told reporters that most of the 64 now reported dead were civilians. He said most of the wounded were in a stable condition.
At least 71 Shia worshippers were killed in 2011 in a rare attack on a Shia shrine in Kabul.
Afghan security forces regularly foil similar attacks, correspondents say, but with explosives easily available and bomb-making skills common, it is difficult to prevent all of them.

The going on the National and hurdle tracks at the Merseyside track is described as Good to Soft. The Mildmay is Good to Soft, Good in places.
BBC Radio 5 live weather forecaster Simon King said: "It's going to be a cracking start to the Grand National meeting with racing taking place under sunny skies, light winds and a temperature reaching around 18C.
"The big change will come on Grand National Day; with a stronger wind, it will feel much cooler with a maximum temperature only reaching 10C. There could be a few showers during the morning, but by the afternoon it should be dry and sunny."
The final field was announced on Thursday morning, with the maximum of 40 horses set to take part in Saturday's race.
"When you start out as a jump jockey, the Grand National is the race you want to take part in and more than that the race you want to win," said McCoy.
Punters will be keeping a keen eye on the weather, with drying ground thought to suit some contenders including last year's runner-up Balthazar King (12-1) and Cause Of Causes (20-1).
The National meeting attracts opposition from animal rights campaigners who believe it is cruel.
Aintree made significant changes to the National course after two horses were fatally injured in both the 2011 and 2012 runnings.
The race has been shortened slightly, and some alterations made to the take-off and landings near fences, but perhaps the most significant change has been the use of more forgiving plastic (rather than wooden) cores for the fences.
Jump racing is a dangerous sport, although there were no serious equine injuries in any race at the 2014 meeting, and no horses have died in the last two Grand Nationals.
Most debt is for treatment given in the past year, but one boards is still pursuing a bill from 2003.
The bulk of outstanding charges are due from citizens of the USA, Canada, Nigeria and India.
The Scottish government said it represented a small proportion of the NHS budget.
Half of the overall debt - £893,368 - is owed to NHS Greater Glasgow.
The figures, obtained by BBC Scotland through a series of coordinated freedom of information requests, also reveals the total of unpaid bills has more than doubled over the past two years.
In April 2013, it was reported Scottish health boards were owed £1.1m by overseas patients - compared to £712,182 in 2012.
And the data shows part of the problem is the exponential build-up of patient debt from previous years.
NHS Fife is still chasing a US citizen for £2,602 for treatment dating back to 2003; NHS Grampian is trying to recoup £2,485 from an Indian citizen for treatment they received in 2007.
A spokeswoman for NHS Grampian said the overdue debts were often due to "claims against the estate of deceased persons, insurance companies disputing charges, lack of insurance or an ability to pay."
"Occasionally a write off is processed, for example when the person is deceased, and we have tried all legal recourse or it would be uneconomical to pursue the estate."
A NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde spokeswoman said: "Despite our best efforts some bills remain outstanding."
She added: "A proportion of the current outstanding monies is owed by patients who have pending insurance claims or who have every intention of paying their bill and we have already recouped over £250,000 in owed monies since April 2013."
However, the data obtained by BBC Scotland reveals that since April 2013, an additional £337,368 has been accrued in unpaid bills.
And the amount owed to NHS Lothian has nearly trebled to £493,533 since 2008.
The board has written off 8% of unpaid bills in the past five years and is still owed more than £180,000 from as far back as 2012.
Susan Goldsmith, director of finance at NHS Lothian, said: "Our invoice and collection systems have improved vastly in the last six years.
"It means that while the amount of money owed has increased during that time, it is a direct result of more invoices being created within a streamlined and more effective system.
"Figures show that the money owed by overseas patients once stood at 50 per cent of our expected income. Since we improved our systems, that figure has fallen to 16 per cent.
NHS Lothian says it has recovered £1.4m in the last five years.
A Scottish government spokeswoman played down the figures, saying the outstanding bills represented just 0.02% of the country's £12bn health budget.
She said: "Scotland does not have a significant problem with overseas visitors failing to pay for NHS healthcare, and we welcome that the vast majority of overseas visitors settle their healthcare bill promptly.
"In addition, a proportion of the current outstanding monies will be owed by patients who have pending insurance claims or who have every intention of paying their bill."
Some of the costs incurred will never be recoverable by Scottish health boards because certain services in the UK - such as ambulance services, A&E care, and wards associated with A&E - are free to everyone.
But patients whose condition was not life-threatening, and whose normal residence is outside of the European Union, have to pay for services with certain exceptions.
Health boards must then try and recoup other treatment costs from individuals or insurance companies.
The UK also has reciprocal agreements with most European countries and 28 other nations, including countries such as Canada and Australia.
But travelling to the UK deliberately for health treatment - so-called "health tourism" - is not allowed.
A 2013 report estimated health tourism in the UK cost the NHS between £20m and £100m.
Scottish health boards can pursue debt via the Central Legal Office which has a contract with an international debt recovery company.
Boards are also required to pass details of those with outstanding bills to NHS Scotland's Counter Fraud Service (CFS), who liaise with the UK Border Agency.
Non-payers can then be refused re-entry to the UK until they settle their outstanding health bill.
A spokesperson said that in 2014-2015 so far, 129 cases have been referred to the CFS from various sources including health boards, GP practices and the UK Home Office.
Free tuition for Scottish students at Scottish universities comes at a price.
The price is that there is a cap on the number of places - otherwise the cost of the policy could spiral out of control.
The overall number of university places available to Scots is around a record high - but the increase in supply is not keeping up with the increase in applications.
It's worth noting though that these places are also available to students from EU countries outside the UK, as a result of European law, although only a small proportion of free places go to EU students.
We cannot, however, easily say who the unsuccessful Scottish applicants are.
Were they judged unsuitable for the courses they applied for? Did they apply for places at "top" universities unsuccessfully when they might have been better off applying for a course with lower entry requirements?
If an applicant fails to secure a place this year, it should not mark the end of their dreams of a higher education.
They could start a college course - then either reapply or even benefit from schemes which allow students who successfully complete some college courses to go straight into the second or third year of a university course.
Universities broadly support the Scottish government's free tuition policy.
However, if supply and demand get out of kilter, an important political debate could open up - one there is currently little appetite for in academia or amongst left of centre politicians.
Could they even help youngsters from disadvantaged areas secure a place?
The argument has never been that free tuition alone would help someone from a disadvantaged background - rather the argument is that free tuition removed a potential obstacle and that free university tuition was a right.
South of the border, universities can charge fees of up to £9,000 a year. Universities can decide for themselves just how many students to admit.
Tuition fees are, in effect, paid back through a scheme which operates rather like a graduate tax - they are not like normal loan repayments.
Graduates pay back 9% of anything they earn over and above £21,000 a year until the debt is cleared.
Tuition fees in themselves do not leave any current student better or worse off. The issue is the support towards living expenses.
It can be argued that a non-graduate would be doing well to be earning significantly more than £21,000 in their 20s.
Graduates are paying back money they might not otherwise have earned so, despite the repayments, are still better off overall after investing in their future prospects.
The challenge for anyone who does not support the current system of free tuition will be to win over hearts and minds.
They would have to persuade people - especially people in areas where a low proportion of youngsters go to university - that the idea of a graduate paying back the cost of their tuition is fairer than the idea of getting it for free.
Otherwise an argument for tuition fees would risk looking reactionary rather than equitable and progressive.
Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) has set the RMT union a deadline of midday on Thursday to agree to end strikes.
It said conductors would also be asked to sign up to new on-board roles as part of an eight-point offer.
The RMT said: "Jobs, safety and access on Southern rail services are not for sale for £2,000."
Months of industrial action by the RMT and high levels of staff sickness have hit Southern services.
Southern rail tweet angers passengers
Last month, the RMT said workers would stage 14 days of strike action in the long-running dispute over the role of conductors on trains.
GTR said it has set out "a fair, clear and unambiguous" plan of action to the RMT to settle the 10-month dispute.
In a letter to Mick Cash, the RMT's general secretary, it issued Thursday's deadline to agree to the deal and call off all planned strikes, with conductors then being balloted on the full offer.
The company said if the terms were not agreed by Thursday, guards would be served notice letters terminating their existing contracts and inviting them to sign up to the new on-board supervisor roles.
Mr Cash said Southern were "only prepared to talk about their position and not that of the front-line workforce who are at the heart of this safety dispute".
"They won't even release our reps to take part in genuine talks," he said.
"RMT members will not be bullied, bribed or beaten regardless of the tactics deployed by Southern.
"We stand firm and our offer of genuine and meaningful talks, where both sides set out their positions, stands."
Charles Horton, the chief executive of GTR, said: "Everyone is sick and tired of this pointless and unnecessary dispute and we now need to bring a swift end to these strikes, which have caused months of misery for hundreds of thousands of workers, children going to school, family days out and retired people."
He added: "We are going the extra mile and offering our conductors a lump sum cash payment to be paid just after Christmas, when they are getting on with their new roles.
"The RMT needs to understand that this change is happening and we would prefer to work with them to ensure that it's achieved in a way that best protects the interests of our customers, our employees and the business."
The RMT responded: "This dispute has never been about money, it is about guaranteeing there is a second, safety-critical, member of staff on board the current Southern rail services.
"There is a ready-made solution to this dispute and that is based on the Scotrail deal that guarantees that second member of staff on all services.
"Despite the Southern spin, this dispute is not solely about the doors, it is about giving passengers that safety guarantee that goes with the second member of staff on the train.
"If that guarantee is good enough for Scotland, it should be good enough for Southern."
A union spokesman said the RMT would respond "positively" to calls for talks, but would not be "caving in to ultimatums that put a £2,000 bounty on our members heads".
United striker Marcus Rashford was quiet in the first half as Watford's Odion Ighalo wasted two good chances.
But the hosts improved when Rashford switched places with Anthony Martial and the Frenchman won the free-kick which Mata curled in from 20 yards.
City have a game in hand on United, who earned a fourth successive win.
Had Ighalo not shot wide from Troy Deeney's flick-on or chose to pass to his strike partner when David de Gea thwarted the Nigerian, the story of the match may have been very different.
But buoyed by the recent form of Rashford and Mata scoring his eighth goal of the season, the prospect of United reaching next season's Champions League looks a distinct possibility after their city rivals lost 3-0 at Liverpool.
Relive Manchester United's win over Watford
It was less than a fortnight ago that the future of United boss Louis van Gaal looked in doubt following an embarrassing defeat at FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Since then the gloom has lifted around Old Trafford with Rashford playing a telling part in previous wins over Arsenal on Sunday and FC Midtjylland the previous Thursday by scoring twice in each game.

Stationed up front for this encounter, he struggled to find time and space to drive at the well-drilled Watford defence, who were superb at blocking the hosts' efforts from distance.
Yet once Martial moved in from the wing, with Rashford replacing him there, the young Mancunian found the byline on several occasions and twice nearly created an opener.
It was because of the switch that Martial found himself positioned more centrally, drawing a foul from Miguel Britos as he bore down on goal, with Mata doing the rest.
Elsewhere, Tim Fosu-Mensah looked steady on his first United start in defence. He made several decent challenges and had a running battle with Deeney which he coped with well.
The hosts chalked up 11 successive goalless first halves at Old Trafford before the run ended on 2 February.
And although this game started the potential for another run to begin, Watford began faster in both halves and capitalised on some sloppy passing at the back from the hosts, which contributed to an absorbing match.
Only Watford's profligacy kept the scoreline goalless until Mata's late intervention and Deeney must have been fuming at Ighalo's attempts to end a run of only one league goal in 2016.
The defeat means that Watford are yet to register a win over top-five opposition this season, but they will rarely come as close as this as Ben Watson caused danger from several corners and Etienne Capoue, who had a decent penalty appeal, was excellent in midfield.
Perhaps their best chance came when Sebastian Prodl headed wide from two yards, under pressure from United defender Matteo Darmian.
The Hornets have now lost 10 successive games against United but with only three points needed to reach the magic 40-point mark, there is no danger of relegation and if Ighalo finds his range, they can push onto a lofty position in the league after promotion last season.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal: "I have to give big compliments to our players because when it is physical and you can win at an important moment, when all our competitors are losing, it's very important.
"We lost against Sunderland and there was a lot of criticism but that is the strength of the league and now you see we are closer to the fourth position so now we are fighting for it."
On switching Rashford and Martial, he added: "That was a better change because Martial was not in the match and Rashford was not in the match and I changed them and they were both in the match. At that time we got the momentum."

Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores: "We are a little bit disappointed, we try to be happy because the performance was amazing. We played with high personality and we tried to control the match. [United] played well in the last matches, so we prepared well but it was a special moment which decided the match.
"We are supporting Ighalo a lot because he is a little bit confused [with the fact he hasn't scored a lot recently], but he has had an amazing season."
Manchester United are away at West Brom on Sunday before they travel to Anfield for the first leg of their Europa League tie the following Thursday. Watford can have their say in the title race as they host table-topping Leicester on Saturday.

Both players' deals with the English Championship side begin on 1 January.
Centre-back Boyle, 25, and winger Horgan, 24, were in the last Republic of Ireland squad for November's World Cup qualifier in Austria.
They helped Dundalk to three League of Ireland titles and the group stages of this season's Europa League.
"Both players have had great seasons in their league and in Europe," boss Simon Grayson told the club website.
"They are young, hungry and looking to improve and will be excellent acquisitions for us."

Australian Open semi-finalist Konta won her first women's main tour title in Stanford, USA, on 25 July.
British number three Naomi Broady climbed three spots to 81st, while there was no change for 67th-placed Heather Watson.
Wimbledon champion Andy Murray remains second in the men's rankings.
Jo Durie is the last British woman to be ranked in the top 10, reaching a career-high fifth in 1984.
Konta, Watson and Murray are among those in the Great Britain squad for the Olympics, which start in Brazil on Friday.
They said their study on rats heralded a "huge breakthrough" towards developing effective treatments.
There is no cure for the disease, but medication and brain stimulation can alleviate symptoms.
Parkinson's UK said there were many questions still to be answered before human trials could proceed.
The disease is caused by the loss of nerve cells in the brain that produce the chemical dopamine ,which helps to control mood and movement.
To simulate Parkinson's, Lund University researchers killed dopamine-producing neurons on one side of the rats' brains.
They then converted human embryonic stem cells into neurons that produced dopamine.
These were injected into the rats' brains, and the researchers found evidence that the damage was reversed.
There have been no human clinical trials of stem-cell-derived neurons, but the researchers said they could be ready for testing by 2017.
Malin Parmar, associate professor of developmental and regenerative neurobiology, said: "It's a huge breakthrough in the field [and] a stepping stone towards clinical trials."
A similar method has been tried in a limited number of patients.
It involved taking brain tissue from multiple aborted foetuses to heal the brain.
Clinical trials were abandoned after mixed results, but about a third of the patients had foetal brain cells that functioned for 25 years.
Using embryonic stem cells may be preferable, as it is easier to get hold of the large numbers of cells needed for transplant by growing them in the laboratory.
It also opens up the possibility of using less ethically charged sources of stem cells, such as those made from adult tissue.
The charity Parkinson's UK said the research "could be a stride towards clinical trials in people with Parkinson's".
Its director of research and development, Arthur Roach, said: "This important research is a key step along the way in helping us to understand how stem cells might shape future Parkinson's treatments.
"There are important potential advantages of these cells over the foetal-derived cells used in past cell transplantation work.
"This study could be a stride towards clinical trials in people with Parkinson's but there are still many questions that need to be answered before this development can be tested in people with the condition."
But not everybody approves.
A quick scroll through the comments below YouTube star Nabiilabee's videos soon reveals an audience deeply divided.
"Love this and you are so beautiful!" gushes a young fan.
However alongside the many messages of adoration left for the Birmingham fashion graduate, who uploads video tutorials about how to style the hijab and wear make-up, are some furious critics.
For although the 21-year-old insists that all her guidance has modesty at its heart and describes herself as a religious woman, for many Muslims the Koran's instruction that women should not "display" their beauty outside of the home is unequivocal.
"What kind of man would allow his wife or daughter to be on YouTube showing her beauty to random men?" storms one angry commenter.
"You are causing people to sin when you show them how to style their scarf."
Alongside names like Dina Tokio, Ruba Zai and Amina, Nabiilabee, a practising British Muslim, is high-profile in the world of so-called Hijabi YouTubers.
A quick YouTube search for "hijab tutorials" brings up more than 100,000 individual videos, but Nabiila claims to be one of the genre's founders - uploading her first tutorial at the age of 16.
She has certainly built a strong brand, with 150,000 followers on YouTube, 228,000 on Instagram and more than 400,000 Facebook members currently liking her official page.
"I've been doing this for so long I'm OK when it comes to hate comments," Nabiilabee told BBC Radio 1 in a documentary called High Street Hijabis.
"I feel like everybody gets a bit of hate but when it comes to Hijabi YouTubers you get a bit more. It gets quite personal."
Many of her fiercest critics are men.
Nabiila dedicates entire videos to responding to questions from her audience - about Islam in general as well as beauty - and also addresses the personal criticism. In one such video she asked the men who take issue with her why they were watching hijab tutorials in the first place.
"I feel like I've been helping people wear a scarf," she said.
"It's helped me to keep my scarf on and be better each day because I'm a role model. I know a lot of people do take me as that and do copy what I do - we're helping each other."
However it's not just men who are cautious about the Hijabi fashion genre.
"Hijab is not a fashion accessory or a headdress. It is an act of worship and obedience to God's command," wrote Fatima Barkatulla, a London-based lecturer in Islamic thought, on Facebook.
"And we worship and obey God on his terms, not our terms."
Ms Barkatulla added that while she understands the "good intentions" of hijab fashion vloggers and designers, they need to act responsibly.
At the Elstree Liberal Synagogue in Hertfordshire, the 12-year-old members of the congregation preparing for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony are never far from their smartphones.
They take weekend classes for up to a year before the big event, a Jewish coming of age ritual which includes learning about Jewish beliefs and reciting sections of the Torah in Hebrew in front of their family and friends.
At first their tutor, Rabbi Pete Tobias, was less than enthusiastic about their fondness for phones.
"There was one point a couple of years back where we had a box and they had to hand their phones in before they came into class because they were permanently playing with them," he says.
"Now I think it's a challenge for me to make sure they're paying enough attention for them not to need to be fiddling with their phones."
The youngsters themselves are wary of discussing Judaism online. One says: "You don't know who is reading your message."
But for others it is a useful font of knowledge.
"At the moment we're studying Judaism and everyone is asking me questions - I'm the only Jew in my class," says one young student about their secondary school.
"We looked at some YouTube videos in class and they are actually useful - but they do leave out little things. They get the gist of it right."
Another pre-teen admits to using Google to keep tabs on her teachers: "At school if I don't believe it I'll look it up," she tells me, adding that the search engine's language translation tool, Google Translate, has been valuable in learning Hebrew.
"Sometimes it gets it wrong," she adds. "But it is helpful."
Another student has learned a surprising lesson in ethics from Call of Duty, a violent shoot-up game that is definitely not aimed at 12-year-olds.
"You kill a lot of people in shooter games," he says.
"It shows the message when you're older, say there's a war and they need you, you'd be like, 'no, I played Call of Duty when I was younger and killed a lot of people and didn't like it.'"
Malath Abbas, a Dundee-based computer games designer, goes even further.
While the psychological effects of video gaming often cause fierce debate, for Mr Abbas, who practices the Baha'i faith, the very act of losing yourself in a virtual world has an important spiritual quality and enables a mindfulness that is also central to his religion.
"Most people associate video games with guns and shooting and mindless entertainment, whereas I've been a player and creator for a number of years now," he says.
"I see another side to it and I definitely see a space for spirituality within that.
"If something engages you, you tend to be really pulled into the experience and I find it allows for an interesting space within my mind to mediate and be mindful.
"I would call that spirituality."

Malcolm Webster denies crashing a car in New Zealand in 1999 in a bid to kill his second wife Felicity Drumm to claim insurance money.
He also denies murdering his first wife in Aberdeenshire in 1994 in a car fire.
Defence counsel Edgar Prais QC told the High Court in Glasgow, Mr Webster had been "disgraceful" with Ms Drumm's savings but did not try to kill her.
Mr Webster, 51, of Guildford, Surrey, denies attempting to kill Ms Drumm and fraudulently obtain £750,000 from insurance policies.
He further denies murdering his first wife, 32-year-old Claire Morris. She died when the vehicle in which she was a passenger crashed and caught fire in 1994.
It is also alleged that he intended to bigamously marry Simone Banarjee, from Oban, Argyll, to gain access to her estate. It is claimed he told her he was terminally ill with leukaemia when he was actually in good health.
Mr Prais, cross-examining Ms Drumm, said: "My instruction from Malcolm is that it is accepted that he lied to you, repeatedly cheated you and robbed you blind, do you understand?"
She replied: "Yes."
He went on: "You were bulldozed into putting him on to your account and he robbed you blind. He took almost every cent out."
She said: "That's correct."
Mr Prais then said: "There is going to be no dispute about the shoddy, disgraceful, monstrous way Malcolm handled your life savings."
However, the QC said: "As far as the incident on the motorway he wants to make his position clear. It was not his intention to cause any injury."
And he said Mr Webster also denied being responsible for "episodes" Ms Drumm earlier said she had experienced where she had slept for lengthy periods after being given food or drink by Mr Webster.
The court heard that tests carried out by her GP in New Zealand following her episodes revealed a slight problem with liver function. She was told this could be caused by alcohol, drugs or a viral infection.
Ms Drumm told the jury: "I knew I hadn't taken drugs or alcohol. I was concerned it was a brain tumour."
She said she had further episodes in the UK, after the couple travelled there following their marriage and honeymoon in New Zealand.
Mr Prais showed Ms Drumm clinical records from her GP in Aberdeenshire.
An entry marked 23 June, 1997, noted "Two strange turns similar to episodes in New Zealand with double vision and ataxia. Probably justifies further investigation in due course".
Mr Prais said: "You say there were further episodes in Scotland and in Cornwall in July or August. Bearing in mind you were told in New Zealand to go to a doctor if there was a recurrence, why didn't you do so?"
Ms Drumm replied: "I was told because of the nature of the incidents they needed to see me when they were happening. They would always happen at a weekend, mainly on a Sunday."
Mr Prais then asked: "Why would you not have gone to the doctor?"
Ms Drumm told the jury: "It was explained to me. There was no point in making an appointment. I still said it could be epilepsy."
The court heard that at the time of the episodes there was no insurance on Ms Drumm's life and she had not changed her will in Mr Webster's favour.
The trial, before judge Lord Bannatyne, continues.
The Sharks have lodged a protest with the Rugby Football Union, claiming the player - understood to be former Bristol wing Tom Arscott - released confidential details.
They have also made a complaint against the Bristol player involved.
Bristol won 24-23 at the AJ Bell Stadium after trailing 15-0.
The Sharks have lost their past 10 games in all competitions.
A statement from Bristol said they had been "made aware of a complaint from Sale Sharks, which is now being investigated by the RFU".
It added: "The club are absolutely confident of no wrongdoing in this matter and will fully co-operate with the investigation."
Christopher Halliwell, 52, of Swindon, is accused of murdering Becky Godden, who was last seen alive in 2002.
She was 20 at the time but was not reported missing until 2007 as her family thought she was living in the Bristol area.
Her body was found in a field in Eastleach, Gloucestershire, in 2011.
Mr Halliwell appeared via video-link at Bristol Crown Court, speaking only to confirm his name.
He did not enter a plea and was remanded in custody.
The Woodlands Centre for Acute Care, in St Leonards-on-Sea, closed in October after two suicides occurred within months of each other.
Sussex Police investigated their deaths and those of three other patients at Sussex Partnership NHS Trust hospitals.
No criminal charges were brought as a result.
An independent investigation into the centre also gave it the all-clear.
The unit has since undergone a £500,000, patient-led redesign and all 33 bedrooms and bathrooms have been refurbished.
Additional training
All staff have had additional training and development, with specific attention given to risk management and suicide risk reduction.
The centre was shut after John Blair, 40, and Sgt Richard Bexhell, 49, were found hanged less then two months apart.
Mr Blair was found hanging on 19 October 2009. He died three days later in the Conquest Hospital, in Hastings.
Sgt Richard Bexhell, 49, was discovered hanged at the unit on 29 August 2009 while Susanna Anley, 35, died at the Woodlands unit in April 2008.
Michael Stevens, 53, from Lancing, died at Worthing Hospital after he was found hanged in his room at the Meadowfield unit in Worthing in September the same year.
A 27-year-old man was found dead in the toilets of a public area of Millview Hospital in Hove on 8 March this year.
Almost certainly the answer is not as much as you think.
But the people of the town are hoping all that is about to change, as they prepare to embark on a year of celebrations to mark the 950th anniversary of it being founded.
Picnics, lectures and pageants will tell the story of battles, castles and bridges which made this small Monmouthshire town a leading force in engineering advances now echoed across the globe.
The area has been occupied continuously since at least the Mesolithic Period of about 5,000 BC, through the Iron Age, and up to the Silures tribe, who put up fierce resistance to the early Roman invasion.
But it was with the arrival of the Normans that the area took on huge strategic importance.
Less than six months after the Battle of Hastings, William The Conqueror's right-hand man, William FitzOsbern, was dispatched to secure the western-most fringes of the occupation from the marauding Welsh.
For the site of his first castle he picked Chepstow - named Striguil by the Normans - as it was the lowest bridging point of the River Wye and close to its confluence with the Severn.
Local historian John Burrows said the stronghold was an early example of "shock and awe" and "the space-race" of its day.
"From the outset Chepstow Castle was intended to be a statement as much as a fortification, to a people who would probably never have seen a stone building before," he said.
"A wooden castle would have done the job just as well, but he wanted to prove the military and technological dominance of the Normans without having to go to battle."
A market, port wall and town gate, and the first of its many bridges came during the 12th and 13th centuries, transforming Chepstow into Wales' largest medieval port.
It was a title which Chepstow would hold right up to the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
From 1790 to 1795 the port handled more shipping than Swansea, Cardiff and Newport put together, with vessels leaving Chepstow for Iceland, Turkey, Italy, France and Portugal.
Chepstow's dominance was only halted by the Industrial Revolution.
Swansea and Cardiff were much better suited to transport coal due to tidal issues and the invention of larger ships, and so Chepstow re-invented itself as a ship-building community.
"The shipyard produced light-weight, low-cost, pre-fabricated ships which could be floated down the river and assembled elsewhere," said Mr Burrows.
"That led to bridge building, and eventually to the construction of wind turbines, which sadly ceased in 2015. "
In 1816 the Grade I listed Chepstow Bridge began the town's legacy for bridge building which would put it on the engineering map.
Built by John Urpeth Rastrick, it remains the only five-arch bridge of its kind to survive.
In 1966 the Severn Bridge opened. Using much thinner "aero-deck" the platform was much more stable and revolutionised suspension bridges all over the world.
The town's connection with bridges is celebrated each January with Welsh Mari Lwyd's face-off against English wassailers on the Old Wye Bridge.
Chepstow was also home to Britain's first black high sheriff. In 1794 St Kitts slave-turned-slave-owner Nathaniel Wells set up home at Piercefield estate, now the site of the racecourse, before becoming only the second black man to hold a commission in the British Army.
Today the town is twinned with Cormeilles, the Normandy home of William FitzOsbern. An arrangement dating back to 1976.
Mr Burrows said Chepstow should look to the French commune to bring people back to the town centre.
"Chepstow has been an important part of the Wye tourist trail since the 18th Century, but visitors tend to go to the castle and on to Tintern Abbey, missing out the town centre," he said.
"Part of the problem is that most of the shops and bars are at the top of a steep hill, so maybe some sort of funicular system might encourage visitors into the town, and itself become a tourist attraction."
Radha Mohan Singh said it would help improve yield and soil fertility and contribute to making India prosperous.
More than 50% of India's population depends on agriculture for a living.
But farming in India has been going through a crisis in recent years with thousands of farmers killing themselves in despair over poor harvests.
The minister's comments follow earlier controversial statements - in July, he was criticised for his bizarre comments that farmer suicides were a result of "failed love affairs" and "impotency".
At a function attended by farmers and agriculture scientists in Delhi at the weekend, he once again stunned the audience by saying that "farmers should give vibrations of peace, love and divinity to seeds" to encourage growth and make them resistant to pests.
"Such exercise is accepted by my ministry essentially to enhance Indian farmers' confidence. Indian farmers have, over the years, lost confidence in the age-tested knowledge of farming," the minister was quoted by The Indian Express as saying.
Mr Singh is part of India's governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which is accused by the critics of trying to promote traditional beliefs even when they are not backed by scientific evidence.
The BBC's Geeta Pandey in Delhi says yogic - or yoga - is essentially about the ancient Indian philosophy which helps control body and mind and, in recent years, has been embraced by the wider world as a form of exercise for its health benefits.
Earlier this year, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi led 35,000 people in a mass yoga programme in the capital, Delhi, in an attempt to set a world record.
But yoga's popularity notwithstanding, the agriculture minister's comments on yogic farming have left many scratching their heads in India, our correspondent adds.
He had been expected to stay on in the role but will return to academia.
Mr Rajan had been "open" to continuing after his initial three-year term, but has made his move after "due reflection and consultation with the government".
The former IMF economist, who was one of the few to predict the 2008 financial crisis, has been praised for his handling of the Indian economy.
It is now the fastest growing major economy in the world.
However he has faced pressure from a faction within Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party for keeping interest rates high. There has also been criticism that he had begun to stray into politics.
Analysis: Simon Atkinson, India Business Editor, Mumbai
Raghuram Rajan's exit (or Rexit as it has been labelled here) has thrown up more questions than answers. And the biggest of all: did he walk or was he pushed?
Certainly the comment that he'd been open to staying but made his decision "after due reflection and in consultation with the government" is leading many here to conclude he'd been told to go quietly.
The RBI governor has had plenty of public detractors - including one recently from a senior figure in the ruling BJP party that he was "mentally not fully Indian" because he has a US green card.
But while not pleasing all politicians - Mr Rajan's economic track record means he's hugely respected by investors both at home and abroad.
And with India relying heavily on foreign investment to keep its growth going, there is a lingering worry that the country's economic credibility overseas could now be called into question by the decision not to make sure the man nicknamed the "rockstar" banker was talked into staying for another term.
In a letter to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) workers, Mr Rajan remarked that two of his major policy ideas - the creation of a monetary policy committee to set interest rates and reform of the heavily indebted banking sector - had not been completed.
He also made passing reference to the referendum in the UK next week on EU membership.
"Colleagues, we have worked with the government over the last three years to create a platform of macroeconomic and institutional stability," he said.
"I am sure the work we have done will enable us to ride out imminent sources of market volatility like the threat of Brexit."
His term of office ends on 4 September.
It will be the first time in 24 years that an RBI chief has departed after a single three-year term.
GlenWyvis Distillery Community Benefit Society has proposed building Scotland's first community-owned craft whisky distillery near Dingwall.
One of the 2,600 people who invested in the distillery's crowdfunding appeal suggested that the public access the site by a funicular-style railway.
The ride would take three minutes, the society said.
It has been proposed that the electric-powered inclined elevator, also known as a hillside tram, would form part of a park-and-ride scheme serving the distillery's visitor hub.
An electric bus would take visitors from Dingwall to the elevator's base station.
GlenWyvis Distillery Community Benefit Society said the elevator would only be built if the distillery site is also chosen for the location of its visitor centre.
If the funicular does go ahead it would be the first of its kind in the UK and, at 400m (1,312ft), the longest in Europe, the organisation said.
John Mckenzie, the founder of GlenWyvis and site landowner, said: "We are now exploring this funicular-style solution as a positive response to local concerns about access to the distillery.
"We think this has great potential to attract many more people to Dingwall and the distillery itself.
"It is all aimed at rejuvenating Dingwall as the craft distilling town for Scotland."
The Highlands are already home to Scotland's only funicular railway. CairnGorm Mountain, near Aviemore, runs the railway to the UK's highest restaurant.
Opened in 2001, the funicular connects a base station with the ski centre's restaurant 1,097m (3,599ft) up Cairn Gorm mountain.
The woman, believed to be in her 20s, was discovered just before midnight on Sunday in the grounds of Harlescott Junior School on Featherbed Lane.
Police are carrying out forensic examinations at the school, which will remain closed until Wednesday.
The woman has not yet been formally identified.
Forensics officers also searched a nearby property.
Two men, aged 32 and 39, and a 31-year-old woman, all from Shrewsbury, are being questioned on suspicion of murder, West Mercia Police said.
"Pupils were due to return to school tomorrow following the Christmas holidays but the decision has been taken to keep the school closed while investigations continue," a police spokesperson said on Monday.
The death is not thought to be linked to that of another woman in the area almost two weeks ago, according to the police.
But away from Hove, Yardy may - however unfairly - find himself partly remembered for the matches he missed at the 2011 World Cup, when he returned home from the tournament because he was suffering from depression.
The man himself though has learned to view his mental health issues as an integral part of who he is, and even as something which helped push his career on to greater heights, albeit at a cost.
"I think I've always been one of those people who just teetered on the edge over the last five years," the 34-year-old told BBC Sussex.
"Cricket was a massive part of my life, but I think depression is something that's inside people, whatever profession you do. If you're put in a certain situation it will come out.
"It's been difficult, but living on the edge has allowed me to do things that maybe people with more talent haven't done. I've always pushed myself in everything in my life, but you can push yourself too far, and I did.
"But I wouldn't change anything for the world, it's inside me and I have had to live with it."
Former England boss Peter Moores, who was Yardy's coach at Sussex, said the way the player "fronted up" to his problems was typical of the man.
"He worked it through, came back and carried on and played some great cricket," he said.
"Sometimes walking away from something is a brave decision.
"He has got a lot of character and that came through in games. When it's tough, Mike Yardy stands up. He will look back on what has been a fantastic career."
Yardy, who played every match when England won the World Twenty20 for the first and so far only time in 2010, said his decision to announce his retirement had ultimately come as a relief.
"I just decided my time was up," he explained.
"I'd thought about it since the start of the season and fought it a little bit but it felt like the right time. It was a relief but it's still difficult.
"I've done it [cricket] for 16 years and enjoyed it and I realise now that I was privileged to do something I grew up loving. I'm sure it'll take a bit of time to get used to not playing, but I want to do something else with my life."
That "something else" may well be rooted in matters of the mind, with Yardy set to spend the next two years completing a degree in sport psychology at Chichester University.
"I would love to work in other sports, but would also love to come back to Sussex at some point," he added.
"It's good to get away, but it would be a dream to come back at some point on the coaching side of things."
Interview by BBC Sussex's Adrian Harms
Michael Brown gave the party ??2.4m in the run up to the 2005 election - its biggest ever gift from an individual.
The party was allowed to keep the cash in 2009 after an investigation by the commission.
The Parliamentary Ombudsman said the commission "did not make adequate inquiries of the party".
Conservative MP John Stevenson said he had asked the ombudsman to investigate the Electoral Commission's handling of the affair after a complaint from a constituent.
The Ombudsman reported: "The Commission failed to seek relevant evidence at the outset, failed to give an informed view on the matter and failed to review the position on the receipt of new evidence."
Initial checks "fell significantly short of what was required" about donations in cash and also flights, the Ombudsman said.
"It failed to ask for relevant information without good reason and so failed adequately to discharge its monitoring function," the Ombudsman continued.
"That was maladministration.
"The commission did not follow up the concerns that it had about the robustness of the checks the party had made as it had said it would.
"That was maladministration."
But the commission has refused to agree to the Ombudsman's demand for an apology.
It disputes the findings and has agreed only to set out the lessons that have been learned from the case and to review the adequacy of subsequently-published guidance on what constitutes "carrying on a business" and what checks a party should carry out.
Labour's shadow Cabinet Office minister Michael Dugher called on Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg to "come clean" and pay back the money.
He said: "Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats have justified their inaction against the convicted fraudster Michael Brown by hiding behind a report which has now been totally discredited.
"For years Clegg has dodged questions on when the Lib Dems will pay back the donations. Clegg has nowhere now to hide. He should do the decent thing and pay back this money straight away."
UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who claims his party has been "hounded" by the Electoral Commission "on matters of no substantive basis", called for it to be scrapped and replaced "with an organisation that is fit for purpose".
Brown, 46, donated ??2.4m to the Lib Dems before the 2005 general election, through his company 5th Avenue Partners Ltd.
He was convicted in his absence in November 2008 of stealing $8.5m (??5.2m) after posing as a highly successful bond dealer, who claimed connections with royalty.
Brown went on the run to the Dominican Republic in 2008, sparking an international manhunt, after stealing millions from clients including former Manchester United chairman Martin Edwards. He was arrested and then jailed in 2012.
John Stevenson, the Conservative MP for Carlisle, whose constituent took the case to the Ombudsman, said Electoral Commission bosses should be hauled before MPs to explain why they appeared to approve a donation they knew to be made up of money stolen from investors.
He said: "My constituent is rightly outraged at the conduct of the Commission and I believe that the Chair of the Electoral Commission and Chief Executive have serious questions to answer.
"I will certainly recommend that they explain themselves to the Public Administration Select Committee. I will be writing to the Chair of the Committee to make this recommendation.
"Now that the Liberal Democrats know from the Parliamentary Ombudsman's report that they inadvertently benefited from the proceeds of crime, I call on them to voluntarily surrender the money and not be seen to be benefiting from crime."
Images on social media showed the gravestones in Sarre-Union daubed with swastikas and Nazi slogans.
On his Twitter feed, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said every effort would be made to catch the perpetrators of an "ignoble and anti-Semitic act, an insult to memory".
Anti-Semitic attacks have risen sharply in France in recent years.
A kosher supermarket in Paris was one of the sites targeted by Islamist gunmen in a series of attacks last month which left 17 people dead.
A special investigative team is at the cemetery in Sarre-Union, the French news agency AFP reports, quoting Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
His family's Stellar International Art Foundation owns more than 600 rare works of art by artists including Picasso, Renoir and Andy Warhol.
He has been photographed receiving a business award from Theresa May and his family has given more than £1.6m to the Liberal Democrats. The 67-year-old is now an adviser to Lib Dem party leader Tim Farron.
Mr Choudhrie and his family run a global business empire that includes hotels, healthcare and aviation.
But an investigation by BBC Panorama and The Guardian suggests he is also one of the world's biggest arms dealers.
Leaked documents from the Choudhries' Swiss bank show that the family's companies were paid almost 100m euros by Russian arms firms in one 12-month period alone.
One company owned by the Choudhrie family, Belinea Services Ltd, received 39.2m euros between October 2007 and October 2008. Another company, Cottage Consultants Ltd, was paid 32.8m euros in the same period, while a third company - Carter Consultants Inc - was paid 23m euros.
Panorama: How Rolls-Royce Bribed Its Way Around The World is on BBC One at 20.30 and available on the BBC iPlayer afterwards.
The leaked documents say one of the Russian arms firms paying the Choudhries "makes cruise missiles".
Some of the payments were viewed as suspicious at the time by the Swiss bank Clariden Leu. Its compliance office in Singapore raised anti-money laundering alerts and the Choudhrie family accounts were reviewed by the bank's risk management team.
It's not clear what action - if any - the bank eventually took. But the leaked report describes the payments from the arms companies as "incoming funds from clients offset business".
Offset payments are sometimes paid by arms companies to provide investment in the country that is buying the weapons. But anti-corruption campaigners say offset payments can be used as a way of funnelling bribes to middlemen and officials.
In the leaked documents, Clariden Leu describes the Choudhrie family as being "very wealthy with an overall fortune of approx $2bn".
Sudhir Choudhrie declined to comment, but lawyers acting for Bhanu Choudhrie have said he had no knowledge of the Clariden Leu documents.
"The report to which you refer appears to be a confidential bank document. Mr Choudhrie has not broken any money-laundering rules in any of his business dealings at any stage."
The lawyers said our questions about offset payments by Russian arms companies were too vague.
"You have not given the dates or amounts of the alleged payments or the basis on which you say they were 'suspicious' or made in relation to Russian arms deals. The business of Cottage Consultants was conducted in a lawful and proper manner."
In 2014, Sudhir Choudhrie and his son Bhanu were arrested as part of a Serious Fraud Office investigation into Rolls-Royce. Both were released without charge.
He was speaking during a visit to the city earlier in the week to launch the Féile festival programme.
Bafta-winning actor Rea, is also an ambassador for UNICEF Ireland.
He told the BBC's Sunday News programme he did not think the UK was doing enough to help migrants and refugees coming from war-torn countries such as Syria and Lebanon.
"We're not doing enough because nobody wants to do enough," said the actor.
"This is why you've got Brexit, Trump - America's built on people and immigration. Britain is a mix of races and people have to understand how much we've taken from the countries these people are fleeing.
"We have to get a little bit angry about it and do something."
Rea said the UK and Ireland were "very fortunate", in contrast to a lot of countries in the Middle East and said privilege needed to be shared.
"We're privileged, but these people are not privileged and we need to offer them some of the privileges we have," he said.
"They're not just coming with their hands out, they bring a lot to the country, a lot of talent; new thought; new ways of looking at things and we have to welcome them."

The Germans missed three spot-kicks - more in one shootout than in their history - before Jonas Hector converted for a 6-5 win.
Hummels, who scored his penalty, told BBC World Service: "We didn't shoot like a German team.
"I saw Gary Lineker posted about it already and of course he's right."
Thomas Muller, Mesut Ozil and Bastian Schweinsteiger failed to score from the spot, with Muller's miss Germany's first in a shootout since 1982.
They have been involved in six penalty contests, losing only once in the final of the 1976 European Championship against Czechoslovakia.
Saturday's failures, albeit in victory, prompted Match of the Day presenter Lineker - who was part of the England team beaten on penalties by West Germany in the 1990 World Cup semi-finals - to jokingly tweet: "Germany are useless at penalties these days."
Hummels, who has just moved from Borussia Dortmund to German champions Bayern Munich, added: "You won't believe it, but yes we [practised penalties] in training a few times.
"I was very happy that I did because I worked out which shot would work well for me today - because it worked well yesterday.
"It's hard to simulate the real situation."
Italy missed four penalties during the shootout, including one from Leonardo Bonucci who had scored from the spot in normal time to earn his side a 1-1 draw and extra time.
Bale, 27, came off with a calf injury after 39 minutes in Real's 3-2 El Clasico defeat by Barcelona in April.
Real beat city rivals Atletico Madrid on aggregate on Wednesday to reach the Champions League final for a second successive season.
"He's recovering and there's time for him to be ready for the final," Zidane told the Real Madrid website.
"I hope he's ready before and I hope he can be with us more than anything. We're a better team when he plays."
It is the second injury Bale has sustained this season after he was ruled out for four months when he hurt his ankle in Real's 2-1 Champions League win at Sporting Lisbon in November.
Swansea City boss Paul Clement says Real will be desperate for Bale to be fit for the final.
Clement was Carlo Ancelotti's assistant when Real Madrid won the Champions League in 2014, with Bale scoring the decisive second goal in a 4-1 final win over city rivals Atletico Madrid.
"I know he's fighting to be fit for that and I hope he is," Clement said.
"It would be great for him to come back, he's one of their best players.
"He's done fantastically well over the last couple of years. He's won it twice already,
"It would be an amazing achievement to be at a club for four years and win three Champions Leagues. That would be outstanding.
"It's great for Wales. You've got two great teams and a great event coming to this country." | Rio 2016 organisers have scrapped plans for a 4,000-seater stand at the rowing and canoeing venue as part of a $500m (£353m) cost-cutting measure.

The 36-year-old was in Milton Keynes on Tuesday for talks, but will take charge of Hearts' Scottish Premiership match against Rangers on Wednesday.
Hearts would go second in the table with victory at Tynecastle.
Neilson will replace Karl Robinson as manager of the Dons, who are 19th in England's third tier.
The former Scotland and Leicester right-back was given his first management job by his old club Hearts in May 2014.
He led his side to the Scottish Championship title and promotion in his first season in charge and they finished third in the top flight last term.
It is expected Neilson will take his assistant Stevie Crawford to MK Dons, who had previously been in talks with former England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
However, the 36-year-old said the vacancy came "a bit too soon" for him after his exit from LA Galaxy.
Robinson's six-year reign at MK Dons ended in October, following a poor start to the season having been relegated from the Championship last term.
Meanwhile, Rotherham United have said that they did not make an approach for Neilson, despite reports that he turned down the change to move to the Championship side as a replacement for Kenny Jackett, who resigned on Monday.
The assault on Jinnah international airport in Karachi began late on Sunday, with security forces gaining control in the early hours of Monday.
The Pakistani Taliban have said they carried out the raid as revenge for the killing of their leader last year.
A government spokesman said a full investigation was under way.
Asif Kirmani, a political secretary to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, also praised the security forces for their response.
The Karachi airport attack comes against the backdrop of a major split in the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) - and threats of retaliation following limited military operations against foreign militants in North Waziristan.
Given the violence, it seems clear that any pretence at a peace process is now over. Few seriously thought that recent talks between the government and militants were getting anywhere anyway.
The attack is also a reminder, if it were needed, that despite their divisions, the Taliban retain the capability to mount spectacular strikes across Pakistan.
Pakistan Taliban still deadly despite split
Pakistani officials said 10 heavily armed gunmen stormed the airport in two teams of five on Sunday at 23:00 local time (18:00 GMT).
The attackers, wearing explosives belts, are believed to have entered the area using fake ID cards, although some reports suggest they cut through a barbed wire fence.
They threw grenades and fired at security guards in the old terminal, used for cargo and VIP operations.
The airport was shut down, passengers were evacuated and flights diverted as security forces fought back.
Seven militants were shot dead in a gun battle with security forces which lasted until dawn. Another three attackers detonated their explosives.
The dead terminal staff were said to be mostly security guards from the Airport Security Force (ASF) but also airline workers. The initial death toll of 28 was raised after the Civil Aviation Authority said two more bodies had been found inside the terminal.
Hours after the airport reopened on Monday evening, there were reports that a group of airport employees were stuck inside a cold storage facility where they had taken refuge.
Their relatives gathered outside the terminal building, demanding urgent action to rescue them. A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority said it was being investigated.
The Chief Minister of Sindh province, Qaim Ali Shah, said the attackers "were well trained" and their plan "very well thought out".
Later on Monday, security forces displayed a large quantity of weapons and ammunition seized from the attackers, as well as food, indicating they had been prepared for a lengthy siege. They also displayed the bodies of the dead militants.
Army officials said there were indications that some of the gunmen may have been foreign nationals.
The Taliban later said they had carried out the attack, and that its aim had been to hijack aircraft, though they failed to do so.
It was "a message to the Pakistan government that we are still alive to react over the killings of innocent people in bomb attacks on their villages", said spokesman Shahidullah Shahid.
Pakistan has been fighting an Islamist insurgency for more than a decade, with the Pakistani Taliban the main militant group.
Prime Minister Sharif recently told the BBC he was still hopeful a peace initiative with the Taliban could succeed, but the violence has continued, with Karachi a frequent target.

The move came after Prince William and Prime Minister David Cameron wrote to Fifa asking that England be allowed to wear shirts embroidered with poppies.
Fifa bans political, religious or commercial messages on shirts.
England and Wales have agreed to the compromise. Scotland will consult their opponents before making a decision.
England will wear the armbands in Saturday's friendly against Spain.
"The FA welcomes Fifa's decision and thanks them for agreeing to this," the Football Association said in a statement.
The Football Association of Wales confirmed its players will wear the armbands for their match with Norway on Saturday.
Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan said they hoped to adopt the same approach for the friendly against Cyprus in Larnaca on Friday night.
Regan said: "The decision is a pragmatic solution to the fact that Fifa's rules forbid the wearing of the poppy on the match shirt.
"Subject to the approval of the Cypriot FA as the host nation we will also adopt this approach in our friendly match on Friday night.

"We believe this is a fitting way to show our respect for those members of the armed forces who have lost their lives fighting for their country."
The Fifa announcement of the compromise came shortly after it was revealed that the Duke of Cambridge had written a letter to world football's governing body in his position as president of the FA.
Clarence House said the Prince was "dismayed" by Fifa's initial stance ahead of Saturday's England match against Spain.
Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Cameron said he would also write to Fifa asking it to lift the ban ahead of England's game with the world champions.
"It seems outrageous," said Mr Cameron. "I hope Fifa will reconsider."
A spokesman for St James's Palace said the Prince was pleased with the compromise.
No poppies were worn when England played Brazil on 14 November 2009
A Downing Street spokesman said Mr Cameron welcomed Fifa's decision, saying: "It's a sensible way forward."
As an alternative to having embroidered poppies on their shirts, the FA had previously said England players would wear black armbands during the game and lay a wreath on the pitch during the national anthems.
England and Wales' rugby league players will be wearing poppies on their shirts this weekend, along with the other two teams - Australia and New Zealand - involved in the Four Nations.

Now with oil at a 12 year low, below $30 a barrel, how can airlines possibly be hitting passengers with a surcharge for jet fuel?
The point is they aren't.
But before you crack open the champagne and book a quick flight off to the Maldives - those surcharges haven't gone away.
They're just not for fuel any more. They're for - well it's not quite clear what they are for, apart from maintaining profit margins at the airlines.
To recap: the surcharges were introduced as a way for the airlines to distance themselves from the rising cost of oil, in the same way that they itemised government taxes on their bills.
Travel writer Simon Calder explains: "It was a way for the airline to say "this is nothing to do with us - don't blame us for the price rises".
Even when oil prices began to fall, for a while fuel surcharges were still acceptable because the airlines had hedged, buying much of that oil when the price was high.
"And let's not forget the oil price is paid in dollars and the dollar has been very strong over the last year," he adds.
That has meant that savings have been slow to come through. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reckons the final hedges which locked airlines into higher than market oil prices will unwind by mid-2016.
Even so, as the oil price raced downwards, the surcharge became virtually impossible to defend.
And, more important, the regulators were not going to let the airlines hoodwink their passengers.
In 2012 the US Department of Transportation had ruled: "When a cost component is described as a fuel surcharge … that amount must actually reflect a reasonable estimate of the per-passenger fuel costs incurred by the carrier".
So bit by bit the fuel surcharge has disappeared.
Has that meant fares have come down?
IATA's chief economist Brian Pearce says: "In 2015 air ticket prices on average still fell by around 5% (adjusted for exchange rate changes) and we expect similar reductions in 2016.
"That's a substantial reduction because at the same time airlines are seeing the costs like labour and airport charges going up."
But the interesting point is how the airlines have removed the surcharge.
Some airlines like Qantas and Virgin Australia did get rid of it altogether and absorbed it into their basic fare early last year.
Many of the budget airlines, such as Ryanair, boasted that they never had a fuel surcharge in the first place.
A few held on to it, most notably in Japan where it is strictly regulated, and accurately reflects the falling cost.
So the fuel surcharge for a JAL flight from Japan to Korea at the beginning of 2015 stood at 1,000 yen (£5.80; $8.40). A year later and it has sunk to 300 yen.
But many of the other airlines simply removed the fuel surcharge and replaced it with something different, often described as a "carrier imposed surcharge".
What that means is not exactly clear.
For instance BA's explanation of the charge is as follows: "Carrier imposed charges were introduced in October last year in response to a variety of factors.
"These include changing industry practices and to be consistent with changes that have been in place for flights originating in the USA for a number of years."
Lufthansa is slightly more illuminating. It introduced an "international surcharge" in 2014. Spokesman Boris Ogursky says: "The surcharge covers costs beyond our control such as air traffic control fees, emissions trading scheme payments and so on.
"It is important for the customer to compare the overall cost of the flight with other airlines. The total fare is steered by market competition - it's not just us making up surcharges and putting them up and down as we like.
"It is a highly competitive marketplace."
In some respects the name of the surcharge is irrelevant. As Simon Calder says: "You could call it a uniform charge if you want, and you can say it's to cover the cost of uniforms, it matters not a jot.
"It is just another way of charging the passenger."
However, it does matter to frequent flyers. In general, frequent flyer points can only be redeemed in exchange for basic fares. Surcharges and government taxes, with some exceptions, have to be paid for with cash.
So, by framing a large chunk of the fare as a surcharge, airlines can protect that income from discounts and loyalty scheme claims.
The bottom line could come as a bit of a shock to a frequent flyer eagerly queuing up to redeem points to buy a British Airways round trip to New York, say.
If they leave early this Saturday and come back on Wednesday, they will be faced with a total fare of £523.55.
Of that £155 is government taxes. No chance the frequent flyer points (known as Avios to BA customers) will pay for that.
£163 of the fare is the carrier imposed surcharge. The points won't pay for that either - unless there is a special offer available.
In the end the points will pay for just £205 of the £523.55 fare. The frequent flyer (not the points) ends up paying the rest.
Both sides began the match in the top two, and Boro came close in the first half when Albert Adomah hit the bar.
League leaders Boro took the lead when Jordan Rhodes finished from six yards.
The Clarets looked like they would drop out of the Championship automatic promotion spots with Brighton winning, until defender Keane forced home a corner to maintain their top-two place.
Keane's dramatic intervention stretched Sean Dyche's side's unbeaten league run to 20 games, a streak that goes all the way back to Boxing Day, and ended Boro's six-match winning run.
Aitor Karanka's side would have gone four points clear at the top of the table had they held on for victory, after Rhodes had turned home Daniel Ayala's knockdown of Stewart Downing's free-kick midway through the second half.
Boro, whose gap at the top remains at two points, had come the closest to opening to scoring in the first half when Albert Adomah smashed against the crossbar.
The Clarets regularly threatened following Rhodes' goal, with Boro defender Ritchie De Laet having to be on hand to clear George Boyd's strike off the line.
Matt Taylor's free-kick then deflected just wide for the hosts before, two minutes into injury time, his corner caused chaos in the Boro area and was tucked away by Keane.
The Clarets would have dropped a point behind Brighton had they been defeated, with the Seagulls thrashing QPR 4-0, but they remain in the top two on goal difference.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche:
"I'm really pleased with the whole group tonight, for the mentality. That's an important game, you go 1-0 down, that can defuel you. Not for us. We just kept on and on; eventually they cracked.
"[Middlesbrough] are a very good team; they've spent wisely. They've spent it really well, I think that was actually a compliment.
"I've got total respect for every manager. I mean it sincerely. We're all trying to do the job, to be successful."
Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka:
"We had our chances to score the second and the third and with George Friend and Gaston Ramirez's injuries I had to make substitutions. The game was under control for us.
"If you look at the games where we scored against Reading and Bolton, we try to always play football. It's my decision, my style and I am really proud of all of them. When we lose, we lose with our style; when we win, we win with our style.
"I don't know if we are going to get promotion but I'm really proud of all of them. As a coach, you can't be prouder than I am now."

Abdurraouf Eshati admitted collecting information for terrorist purposes.
The 29-year-old was sentenced at London's Old Bailey over the bid to get arms to the war-torn country.
The charge related to two documents on the purchase of ammunition and cargo plane hire.
Judge John Bevan QC said on Tuesday: "It's obvious that his involvement means that it was felt he could be trusted as a confidant in relation to large-scale arms supply."
Eshati was due to stand trial on Monday but changed his plea.
The court was told electronic documents found outlined a plan to send 1,100 tonnes of ammunition to Libya, via a contact in Italy, in support of the Zintan people of the eastern region.
During their investigation, police searched Eshati's room at Wrexham Islamic Cultural Centre where they found a number of letter-headed documents which were blank, apart from a stamp and a signature which the prosecution said was a forger's kit.
It is understood Eshati lived at the mosque and would occasionally lead prayers when no one else was available but he did not take any of the main prayer meetings.
Eshati was caught trying to get to France in the back of a lorry with 19 other people at the port of Dover in Kent on 30 November, last year.
On his mobile phone, police found an invoice from an arms supplier for the sale and delivery of ammunition to Tobruk in Libya and a document about chartering a cargo jet for £163,000 for use in Libya.
Eshati also had images on his phone of militia group activists, a beheading and armaments in action which, the prosecution said, showed his allegiance to the Zintan people.
On his arrest, he told police he had been in Britain since 2009 on a visa and later as an asylum seeker.
Eshati said his father had been a senior figure in the Gaddafi regime and was now in prison in Tripoli while his two brothers had been murdered. This, however, was a false claim.
On Monday, he admitted seeking leave to remain in the UK by deception on or before 14 December 2012, by falsely claiming he was at risk of persecution if returned to Libya.
Dr Ikram Shah from the Wrexham Islamic and Cultural Centre said in a statement the members want to disassociate themselves from Eshati's actions and added they feel betrayed by what he has done.
Speaking after the hearing, Det Ch Supt Terri Nicholson, head of operations at the Metropolitan Police's counter terrorism command, said: "There is no doubt trading arms in this way would endanger the lives of many Libyans, with the potential for use in other conflicts."
The Crown Prosecution Service said Eshati's arrest and the finding of these documents led to Italian authorities discovering large scale illegal arms supplies being imported from eastern Europe to conflict zones in Libya and other places.
It includes guidance on how to manage the big day itself and how to ensure your school gets as much BBC coverage as possible.
As you turn your classrooms into newsrooms, these printable posters, press passes, cut-out-and-make microphone cubes and certificates will help transform your building into a professional news-making environment.
Create your own dedicated web page
Prepare a simple holding page, with a "come back at 1600 GMT on 16 March 2017" message, and send the address of the dedicated web page (URL) to the School Report team. This guide - Prepare your school web page - provides some handy hints and tips for setting up the page.
Tell us what you're working on
The School Report team wants to know what news topics you are looking at. We may be able to offer some help and advice.
Find out more on teacher Jo Debens' blog.
We may even be able to visit your school to help your students turn their idea into a report.
In addition, schools contacting the team before the day may be featured on the School Report channels - streamed on the BBC website on 16 March - or be featured elsewhere on the BBC (e.g. local radio or websites).
Prepare some news features
During previous years, School Reporters have found it useful to prepare a few reports in advance, basing them on news themes which will still be relevant on the News Day in March.
Your reports can be uploaded to your dedicated web page now, or held back until the big News Day.
Inform your local news outlets
Local newspapers, radio and television outlets are always looking to cover interesting events such as School Report News Day.
However, journalists at local papers are often busy and don't have the time to visit your school. Why don't you take the initiative and write the story for them? That way your school stands a good chance of appearing in the paper.
Before News Day in March, you could send in a story about your plans for the day, or you could write up a report afterwards.
Newspapers often refer to stories sent in by the public as press releases - they are details about an event released to the press. You might find some good tips in this guide: How to write a press release.
Plan your News Day schedule
Teachers who have participated in previous years' News Days have found that the day naturally follows the news-making process: find, gather, write and broadcast, and have scheduled activities accordingly.
This timetable, devised by Oldham City Learning Centre, may be a useful template. It describes activities for students creating a TV and a radio bulletin, but may be adapted for students creating text-based reports.
Alternatively, you could use this guide, based on a practice day by Waldegrave Girls School in Twickenham, Middlesex.
Announce School Report in an assembly
Why not tell the rest of the school about School Report during an assembly?
Not only will this encourage students to look at School Reporters' work on the school website on News Day, but it is also a great way to run through your plans ahead of the day. Share your plans for News Day. Who are you interviewing? Which stories are already lined up?
For more ideas take a look at how the 2015 News Day unfolded.
Remind students of the School Report essentials
On the News Day, remind students of the School Report rules:
There's more information about these golden rules in the School Report guide to keeping your news safe and legal.
Dress your newsroom
Print copies of the School Report poster in the "cut out and keep" box at the top of the page and use them to dress your newsroom. You can also make your own School Report microphone cubes using the template provided.
Reward students with certificates
Download a School Report certificate from the "cut out and keep" box at the top of the page and distribute copies to your students at the end of the News Day.
And not forgetting, most importantly - have fun!
The money is to be used for health, education, cross-border trade and hydroelectricity projects, it said.
The announcement comes as World Bank head Jim Yong Kim and UN chief Ban Ki-moon start a tour of the region.
One person was killed when a mortar landed in Goma, a UN spokesman said.
Government and M23 rebel forces have been involved in heavy fighting near Goma since Monday, killing 19 people.
The clashes are the first since the M23 pulled out of the city last year under diplomatic pressure.
The UN says it will speed up efforts to deploy a 3,000-strong intervention force to eastern DR Congo to end the latest conflict.
Some 800,000 people have fled their homes since the M23 launched its rebellion last May.
The World Bank aid package is to support a peace deal signed in February between DR Congo and its neighbours, some of whom are accused of backing the rebels.
"This funding will help revitalize economic development, create jobs, and improve the lives of people who have suffered for far too long," Mr Kim in a statement.
The largest tranche of the aid - $340m - will go towards an 80-megawatt hydroelectric project in Rusumo Falls, providing electricity to Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania.
Despite its vast mineral wealth, decades of conflict and mismanagement mean most Congolese remain stuck in poverty.
The mortar fell in the Goma neighbourhood of Ndosho, killing one person and injuring four, said UN peacekeeping mission spokesman Madnodje Mounoubai, Associated Press news agency reports.
He said he did not know who fired the mortar.
Campaign group Human Rights Watch researcher Ida Sawyer told Reuters news agency that a two-year-old girl died and three members of her family, including a boy and girl, were wounded.
The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse in Goma says government and rebel forces have clashed in Mutaho, 10km (6 miles) east of the city for a third day.
Shells and rockets have been fired, he says.
Four government soldiers and 15 rebels were killed in the clashes on Monday, government spokesperson Lambert Mende told the BBC.
Mr Ban is due to visit Goma on Thursday.
The renewed fighting showed the need to speed up the deployment of the intervention brigade so that it would be "fully responsible as soon as possible", Mr Ban said.
The UN approved the creation of the force - made up of troops from South Africa, Tanzania and Malawi - in March to "neutralise" rebels in DR Congo.
The troops will have the most robust mandate ever given to UN peacekeepers to end conflict, officials say.
Mr Ban and Mr Kim are also due to visit Rwanda and Uganda.
Last year, a UN report accused the two countries of backing the M23, an allegation they denied.
On Monday, Rwandan President Paul Kagame told the BBC that UN troops had "in some cases" made the situation in DR Congo worse.
He said any military effort to bring peace to DR Congo needed to be "properly co-ordinated" with political efforts.
Col Muammar Gaddafi famously farted his way through at least one television interview.
But now there's a new master of the undiplomatic discourtesy on the world stage.
The Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte - addressing a gathering of Chinese officials and businessmen here in Beijing - wasn't holding back.
"Americans are loud, sometimes rowdy," he is reported to have said. "Their larynx is not adjusted to civility." And this was just the beginning of the speech.
Unsurprisingly the remarks, including the announcement of the "separation" of his country from the United States, its longstanding ally, went down very well indeed.
For Chinese officials, right up to President Xi Jinping who warmly greeted Mr Duterte in Tiananmen Square just a few hours earlier, it is like all their Christmases have come at once.
For the Americans, it has left them simply baffled.
"It's not clear to us exactly what that means in all its ramifications, so we're going to be seeking a clarification on that," a State Department spokesperson told reporters back in Washington.
There are three possibilities. The first, the one the US is banking on right now, is that it is, in fact, all bluster.
That Mr Duterte, in a bid to ingratiate himself with his Chinese hosts, has been simply playing to the gallery and that, unless and until any formal steps are taken, everyone knows the trade and defence treaties with the US remain firmly in place.
A far more troubling possibility is that Mr Duterte does indeed mean business. Stung by the recent criticism of his human rights records by the US and mindful of the growing military and economic might of China, might his utterances signal something real and substantive in terms of a foreign policy shift?
Chinese ships currently occupy the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea and however many international tribunals the Philippines win over the issue they are unlikely to alter the balance of power.
And the Philippines could certainly do with better access to the massive market of 1.3 billion consumers on its doorstep.
But there is a third more complex possibility, that Mr Duterte is trying to have his cake and eat it, to engage in a great power game by playing the US off against China.
It would not be the first time in recent years that a Philippine president has had to calibrate carefully his country's relationship with both superpowers.
There have been plenty of attempts at engaging with China in the past in the hope of putting the principles of the territorial dispute on the backburner in order to seek the mutual benefit of a resource sharing arrangement in the contested waters.
"Your fish is my fish," Mr Duterte told Chinese state TV ahead of this week's visit.
And yet such an approach would require deft diplomatic footwork and, you would think, a need for a careful weighing of words.
And what is even more baffling is that Mr Duterte, despite earlier assurances, appears to have made no attempt on this trip to raise the issue of the fishing rights of the Philippine fishermen currently excluded from their traditional grounds around Scarborough Shoal.
At home, his government also appears to be struggling to make sense of exactly what the strategy is. His trade minister insisted that there will be no formal break in ties with the US.
Another official asked reporters not to try to "interpret" the president's remarks but to wait instead until he returns to Manila.
Are the geopolitics of Asia really about to be turned upside down? Or should we be wary of reading too much into the barrage of insults and rudeness.
Despite Churchill's taunting of de Gaulle referred to earlier, Britain and France remained uneasy allies. Perhaps the US and the Philippines will too.
The alleged offences took place in Leigh Park in Havant between Monday and the early hours of Tuesday.
Hampshire Constabulary is carrying out searches at a property on the housing estate in Park Parade.
The men, aged 20, 36, and 43, from Havant, who are suspected of several sexual offences, were later released from custody pending further inquiries.

The three girls aged 15 and 16 are being supported by specially-trained officers.
The 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of causing or inciting a girl aged 13-17 to engage in a sexual act.
The 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of causing or inciting the sexual exploitation of a child aged 13-17.
The 43-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of causing a female aged 13 or over to engage in sexual activity.
The force has appealed for anyone who may have been in the Park Parade area on Monday evening to come forward.

Shona Robison said that when she took up her post as health secretary, there was a suggestion only two were needed.
But she said there was now a consensus for trauma centres to be in Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The Conservatives have accused the government of a "complete failure of forward planning".
Look back on the ministerial statement on Holyrood Live.
Scottish Labour called for the health secretary to apologise, but Ms Robison refused to accept the criticism.
She said the £30m network could save around 40 lives a year.
In her ministerial statement, she said the project could also help many more people enjoy an improved quality of life.
The network was originally announced in 2014 and was supposed to open in 2016. But last week it emerged they would not be fully implemented until at least 2020.
However, Ms Robison said the centres in Aberdeen and Dundee could be operational within 12-18 months.
She added: "It was right to take the time to build that consensus rather than push ahead with a model that didn't have that clinical buy-in."
She said that the 6,000 people a year who experience trauma in Scotland already get "first rate" care in accident and emergency departments.
The new network would provide "optimal care" for around 1,100 of the most seriously injured, she added.
General Zahir Zahir gave no reason for his resignation, his spokesman said.
Three South Africans were killed in a Taliban attack on a compound used by a US-based charity on Saturday, the third such attack in the past 10 days.
President Ashraf Ghani, who took power in September, has vowed to bring peace after decades of conflict.
There's been a clear pattern to the Taliban attacks of the past two weeks in the capital. Most have targeted foreigners, military or civilian, whenever and wherever possible.
At first it was the big, heavily fortified compounds on the Jalalabad road where many foreigners live and work, which came under attack. But the militants failed to get inside.
More recently the suicide bombers and gunmen have gone after softer targets, such as the aid agency building which was stormed on Saturday evening leaving three South Africans dead. It had very little protection.
With many Afghans also killed and injured in this spate of attacks, there is an uneasy atmosphere in the capital with people wondering who or what will be targeted next.
It is a set-back for President Ghani who has promised to restore peace to the country. It is also embarrassing for the police, military and intelligence agencies which seem incapable of disrupting the plans of the Taliban suicide bombers.
For now, it's the capital's police chief who seems to have paid the price for this security failure, but there must be other senior officials who bear responsibility.
Gen Zahir was himself the target of an attack in early November, when a suicide bomber infiltrated his offices - supposed to be one of the most secure buildings in Kabul - and killed his deputy. Gen Zahir was not there at the time of the attack.
In a spate of attacks in Kabul this week, two American soldiers were killed on Monday and two British embassy workers were killed on Thursday. Dozens of Afghans have also been killed and injured.
Saturday's attack was on a building used by the Partnership in Academics and Development (PAD), a small US education group.
PAD said on its website that three staff members were killed and several others injured in an attack by several gunmen, one of whom detonated a device.
A family spokeswoman, quoted by AFP news agency, named the three dead as Werner Groenewald, 46, who ran the charity, his daughter Rode, 15, and son Jean-Pierre, 17.
The BBC's Richard Galpin in Kabul says it was the deadliest in a series of suicide strikes in the capital over the past fortnight.
A senior Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said on Twitter that the target of the attack was a Christian missionary group.
Kabul is regularly subjected to Taliban bombings, with the military, police and government officials all targeted.
This week, Taliban militants also attacked the camp formerly known as Camp Bastion in Helmand province, one month after it was vacated by British forces.
The militants launched an attack late on Thursday night and fighting continued into Friday and on Saturday.
Officials say the militants breached the perimeter fence and accessed a barracks building, killing five Afghan soldiers on Friday. They say that 26 militants were also killed.
On Saturday, in a separate attack on a military base in Sangin in Helmand, 12 Afghan soldiers were killed and one is missing, a spokesman for the Helmand government said.
The Taliban have stepped up attacks in Afghanistan as most foreign combat troops prepare to leave the country next month.
As part of the agreement on the withdrawal of foreign combat troops, some 12,000 Nato soldiers will remain to train and advise Afghan security forces from 1 January.
A separate US-led force will assist Afghan troops in some operations against the Taliban.
Malian officials said they had taken back the strategic central town of Konna, which rebels had secured just a day earlier as they pushed south.
The news came hours after France announced it had begun military operations in support of Mali's army.
Armed groups, some linked to al-Qaeda, took control of northern Mali in April.
The Islamists have sought to enforce an extreme interpretation of Islamic law in the area.
Regional and western governments have expressed growing concern about the security threat from extremists and organised crime.
Announcing France's military intervention, French President Francois Hollande said Islamists had been trying to turn Mali into a "terrorist" state.
He said the intervention complied with international law, and had been agreed with Malian interim President Dioncounda Traore. It would last "as long as necessary", he added.
By Hugh SchofieldBBC News, Paris
The rhetoric out of Paris suggests that from the French point of view, the situation in Mali has taken a dramatic turn for the worse in the last few days. Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said it was vital to stop this new advance by the Islamists.
So it would seem that a country that has been a growing but still peripheral preoccupation for France - and for the West in general - is now at the very centre of their strategic plans.
There is a real fear that if the "terrorists" - as the French government calls them - succeed in taking over Mali, then it will become a rogue state much like the old Afghanistan.
Given the ties of family and trade with France, it would be France to pay the cost if that rogue state began to export its ideology. So a line has been drawn in the Sahel sand. For good or bad, this may well turn out to have been a momentous decision.
French officials gave few operational details. When asked whether there had been French air strikes, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius confirmed that there had been "an aerial operation".
Residents in Mopti, just south of Konna, told the BBC they had seen French troops helping Malian forces prepare for a counter-offensive against the Islamists.
Mr Traore declared a state of emergency across Mali, which he said would remain in place for an initial period of 10 days.
He used a televised address to call on Malians to unite and "free every inch" of the country.
"Our choice is peace... but they have forced war on us," he said. "We will carry out a crushing and massive retaliation against our enemies."
Late on Friday Malian officials said they gained control of Konna.
"Konna is under our control this evening but we are still conducting mopping-up operations," said Lt Col Diarra Kone, though he warned that some rebels might still be in the town.
The British government expressed its support for the French operation. US officials said Washington was considering providing intelligence and logistical support to French forces.
The west African bloc Ecowas said it was authorising the immediate deployment of troops to Mali "to help the Malian army defend its territorial integrity", AFP reported.
The UN had previously approved plans to send some 3,000 African troops to Mali to recapture the north if no political solution could be found, but that intervention was not expected to happen until September.
Mr Fabius said the aim of the operation was to stop Islamist militants advancing any further.
It was not clear how far the French would go in helping Mali's government retake territory in the north.
At least seven French hostages are currently being held in the region, and Mr Fabius said France would "do everything" to save them.
A spokesman for al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) said he considered the French operation a "Crusader intervention", and told France it would be "would be digging the tombs of [its] sons" if the operation continued, according to the Mauritania-based Sahara Media website.
France ruled Mali as a colony until 1960.
Steve Mackey, chairman of the Rhondda Tunnel Society, said they could not get any major funding until ownership is transferred to Wales.
But a Welsh Government spokeswoman said it was their understanding ownership was not required to take next steps.
She said the economy secretary would seek clarification.
Meanwhile the society has been invited to give a presentation to the European Commission to bid for funding.
The Rhondda Tunnel Society wants the Blaencwm tunnel, in Rhondda Cynon Taff, to Blaengwynfi, in Neath Port Talbot, to be re-opened for use by cyclists and walkers.
The tunnel is currently owned by Highways England, and the Welsh Government was criticised in February for not requesting its transfer.
Mr Mackey said the project had been "going round in circles" because £300,000 was needed for a structural survey to show it is a viable project before the Welsh Government would ask for ownership.
Mr Mackey said: "I don't blame the Welsh Government for looking into this deeply - they're not going to spend money opening it only to find out it's not workable - but I'm sure they could do it quicker.
"I believe Brexit could affect this project. Even if the Welsh Government just gave us a letter of intent [of ownership], we could move forward."
He said a meeting with Economy Secretary Ken Skates had been arranged for 10 January regarding the issue.
But a Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "We have been supportive of the Rhondda Tunnel Society's efforts to re-open the tunnel and in May we arranged a meeting between the society, Highways England and Welsh Government to discuss this project.
"During that meeting, Highways England advised the society on next steps and were very positive about how they could support the society's work to gain a better understanding of the tunnel's condition.
"We are surprised by these comments as our understanding following that meeting was that the transfer of ownership of the tunnel to Welsh Government was not required to undertake next steps.
"The economy secretary has asked officials to speak to Highways England to clarify the position and will be writing to and meeting with the society following that."
Wales MEP Jill Evans, who is setting up the Brussels visit for the society, said she wanted them to meet Michael Cramer, a keen cyclist who is chairman of the transport committee, and those in the European Commission who deal with transport funding, to examine possible applications.
"The ownership of the tunnel is another aspect we would have to discuss, but obviously time is an issue," she said.
"The Rhondda Tunnel Society have done so much work already and I hope that the EU can help to move things forward. It's certainly worth exploring all possibilities.
"As a member of the transport and tourism committee in the European Parliament I know of the increasing interest in cycling holidays and I believe we have something unique to offer."
Surging waters that have already caused extensive damage across central Europe are moving north and east along rivers including the Elbe and Danube.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has visited areas already hit by the deluge and promised 100m euros (£78m; $130m) in emergency aid.
Meanwhile river levels in the Czech capital Prague have begun to fall.
Large areas of suburban Prague were flooded but metal barriers protecting the historic city centre held as the floods peaked and the high waters moved north towards Germany.
Around 4,000 German troops have been deployed in four states, the military said, reinforcing dykes with sandbags and providing help to thousands of people forced to leave their homes.
By Stephen EvansBBC News, Passau
Chancellor Merkel came bearing gifts. She promised that the federal government would earmark 50 million euros in direct aid to flood affected areas, with the government of Bavaria matching the sum in the region.
That money may have to be spread over a wider area. All the signs were that the waters of the Danube were subsiding, but other rivers further north started to look more threatening.
In Saxony, the Elbe was rising to dangerous levels, as waters poured in from the Czech Republic.
The unanswered question is whether floods are getting worse and more frequent in this region. The two big floods in recent memory were 2002 and today's - both previously predicted to be very rare events.
But the big one before that was in 1954, before concerns about global warming.
The Danube is a busy commercial waterway which is much subject to man-made alteration, both to improve navigation and for waterside development.
This human engineering of the landscape is constantly monitored and debated in this region. The current floods will add to that debate.
The latest cities to be hit include Meissen on the Elbe. Nearby Dresden is preparing for water levels 5m higher than normal.
Officials in Saxony - home to both Meissen and Dresden - have warned that rivers could rise even higher than in the record floods of 2002, when both cities were devastated.
Chancellor Merkel toured some of the worst-hit areas on Tuesday, flying over Bavaria, Saxony and Thuringia by helicopter.
In the stricken Bavarian city of Passau - where waters reached a level not seen in 500 years - she called the floods "an event of historic proportions" and promised 100m euros in emergency aid, half of it from the federal government
"I spoke to residents who are already busy with clean-up work and I am aware that it will take weeks. The damage and loss of income are a long-term problem and therefore our support will not dwindle," she said.
Across Europe at least 12 people have died as a result of the floods. As well as Germany and the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary have been affected.
Main roads in many areas have been closed and rail services cut. Thousands of homes are without power.
Hungary has declared a state of emergency as the surging waters move down the River Danube, with the peak expected on Thursday.
The Hungarian capital Budapest and the Slovakian capital Bratislava - both on the Danube - are on alert and flood defences are being reinforced.
In the Czech Republic, a nationwide state of emergency is still in force. Water levels were expected to peak in the north later on Tuesday.
As a precaution, Prague's metro system and central sewage treatment plant were closed, metal flood defences were erected and sandbags built up along the banks of the Vltava.
In Austria, the meteorological service said two months of rain had fallen in just two days.
Shipping was halted on parts of the Danube and Rhine in Germany, and the entire length of the Danube in Austria. The rivers are used heavily to transport commodities such as grain and coal.
The national head coach faces a qualifier against Slovenia at Hampden, four months after a 3-0 defeat at Wembley left the national team in the doldrums.
Of the Scottish-based players selected in the last squad, Craig Gordon, Jack Hamilton, Lee Wallace, James Forrest and John McGinn are all playing regularly. Callum Paterson and Leigh Griffiths are currently injured.
A question mark remains over Scott Brown's continuing involvement after the Celtic midfielder reversed his decision to retire to return to the team for the trip to face England, but he has yet to commit himself further.
Outside Scotland, Strachan currently has the usual mixture of players in form and others out of sorts.
Centre-back has always been an area of concern for Strachan, because of limited options. He has tended to select Russell Martin and Grant Hanley, more often than not, so it will be of some reassurance to the national manager that both played for the full 90 minutes in winning teams at the weekend. Hanley made only his second start for Newcastle United as they defeated Derby County 1-0, while Martin captained Norwich City to their 1-0 win at Cardiff City.
It has been a challenging season at times for Darren Fletcher, but he has always retained the faith of West Brom manager Tony Pulis and the result has been an upturn in form. Fletcher, the club captain, played for the full 90 minutes as Stoke City were beaten 1-0, following on from the midfielder's assist against Middlesbrough in the previous game and a goal against Sunderland before that.
The winning strike against Stoke came from James Morrison, the midfielder's fifth of the season and his third in five games.
Matt Ritchie, too, remains on goalscoring form for Newcastle, delivering the decisive effort against Derby, the winger's eighth goal in the Championship this season and his fourth in three games. Ritchie is also among the leading players for assists in the division, with six so far.
It is still a period of adjustment for Robert Snodgrass following his £10m move from Hull City to West Ham United. The attacking midfielder played for the full 90 minutes, though, in his side's 3-1 win away to Southampton.
Returning to Strachan's options at centre-back, Christophe Berra and Gordon Greer are both playing for the clubs, Ipswich Town and Blackburn Rovers respectively. A 2-2 draw at home to Reading told of Ipswich's mixed form, while Greer lasted 70 minutes in Blackburn's 1-0 win over QPR.
Barry Bannan turned out in central midfield for Sheffield Wednesday, as usual, and was part of a 1-0 victory over Wigan Athletic that kept his side in the Championship play-off places.
There are more troubling concerns for midfielder James McArthur, who lasted 62 minutes in midfield as Crystal Palace were beaten 4-0 at home by Sunderland, a result that prompted a dressing-room visit from the chairman, Steve Parish, afterwards and a demand from the manager, Sam Allardyce, for the players to be at training on Sunday morning at 7am.
Chris Martin can be comfortable about his immediate future since Steve McClaren wants the striker to extend his Derby County contract, but for now he remains on loan at Fulham, who lost 1-0 at home to Birmingham City.
A new manager and new circumstances for David Marshall at Hull City. The goalkeeper has been relegated to the bench in favour of Eldin Jakupovic and hasn't started a game since 2 January.
Stephen Kingsley remains on the periphery at Swansea City and was an unused substitute in the team's 2-1 defeat by Manchester City, having not made the match squad for the previous two league games.
A prominent role also still eludes Oliver Burke, who came on for 17 minutes as Leipzig lost 1-0 away to Borussia Dortmund.
Ikechi Anya also came off the bench for Derby, his second successive appearance as a substitute, and he has started only one of their five Championship games since the turn of the year.
For a striker, Steven Fletcher's timing could be better. He was sent off against Brighton last month and still has one match of this three-game suspension to serve after the weekend. His place in the side has been taken by new signing and Scotland colleague Jordan Rhodes, who provided the assist for Ross Wallace in the 1-0 win over Wigan.
Strachan has already spoken of his admiration for Tom Cairney, having watched a number of Fulham games in recent weeks, and the midfielder is widely expected to be called up for the next squad. Now Fulham captain, and playing in a central role, he has consistently impressed.
Missing out on the original squad for the England game last November seemed to spur Matt Phillips, since he went on a run of starts that delivered three goals and six assists in the Premier League for West Brom. The winger clocked in another 87 minutes against Stoke.
Andrew Robertson missed out against England through injury, but his form was impressive enough for Burnley to lodge a £10m bid during the January transfer window. That was rejected and the left-back played for 90 minutes as Hull defeated Liverpool 2-0.
It would be unsurprising if there was also a recall for Charlie Mulgrew, since the former Celtic defender has become a regular starter for Blackburn, mostly at left-back but also in central midfield. He could also offer an option at centre-back.
Ryan Fraser has taken time to settle to life in the Premier League, but in Bournemouth's last six games he has delivered two goals and three assists, including one in the 6-3 defeat away to Everton.
Having found himself out of the picture at Hull, goalkeeper Allan McGregor secured a loan move to Cardiff in the transfer window and has started the last five games, conceding four goals.
Mr Cook made his announcement to try to help people struggling with their identity, he wrote in a Bloomberg Businessweek article.
He has been open about his sexuality, but has also tried to maintain a basic level of privacy until now, he said.
This week Mr Cook challenged his home state of Alabama to ensure the rights of gay and transgender people.
"While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven't publicly acknowledged it either, until now," he wrote.
"So let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me," he added.
He said he didn't consider himself an activist, but that he realised he had "benefited from the sacrifice of others."
"So if hearing that the CEO [chief executive] of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy," he added.
Mr Cook said that he had been open about his sexuality with many people, including colleagues at Apple, but that it still "wasn't an easy choice" to publicly announce his sexual orientation.
He quoted civil rights campaigner Martin Luther King, saying: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' "
Analysis
Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC News technology correspondent
Tim Cook's announcement may come as no surprise in Silicon Valley or across corporate America.
But that does not mean that we should underestimate the significance of the leader of the world's most valuable company talking openly about his sexuality.
Back in May, a piece in the New York Times asked "where are the gay chief executives?" and struggled to name any openly gay CEOs at America's 1,000 biggest companies.
Apple under Steve Jobs was not a company that took a stand on any issues which were not seen as relevant to its business.
Tim Cook has been more forthcoming on all sorts of issues, including equal rights for gay workers, and while he says he does not see himself as an activist, that is how many will now see him.
That could embroil him in controversy in the United States, let alone in other parts of the world with less liberal views of sexuality.
Mr Cook admitted that going public as a gay man was not an easy choice - but it certainly looks a courageous one.
This week Mr Cook referred to Martin Luther King in a speech in Alabama in which he called for equal rights for people based on sexual orientation and identity.
He said that Alabama had been too slow to ensure the rights of ethnic minorities in the civil rights era, and was now being too slow to guarantee gay rights.
"Under the law, citizens of Alabama can still be fired based on their sexual orientation," Mr Cook said.
"We can't change the past, but we can learn from it and we can create a different future."
Mr Cook has championed equality at Apple, but in August said he was "not satisfied" with workforce diversity at the company.
Outstanding, a not-for-profit professional network for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) executives, said on Thursday that many LGBT people in the UK felt it was "safer to stay in the closet" when at work.
In May a US study by LGBT organisation Human Rights Campaign suggested that 53% of US LGBT employees had not come out at work.
Former BP chief executive Lord Browne, who now chairs fracking company Cuadrilla, said Mr Cook had become a role model.
"By deciding to speak publicly about his sexuality, Tim Cook has become a role model, and will speed up changes in the corporate world," Lord Browne said.
The peer kept his sexual orientation a secret for decades, but was forced to come out after a boyfriend made his sexuality public in 2007.
Lord Browne later resigned after losing a court battle with a newspaper.
Its website now has a checklist to help patients recognise and avoid rogue companies offering dodgy deals.
Questions to ask include whether the surgeon who will be carrying out the operation is certified and insured and what to expect in terms of recovery.
Patients should also consider if their own expectations are realistic.
Dawn Knight, 48, from County Durham, underwent botched eye surgery at a private clinic in 2012.
She had wanted a blepharoplasty or eye lift to remove some excess skin from her lids.
But the surgeon took too much skin away, which meant she was unable to close her eyes and had problems with her vision.
She has since had corrective treatment on the NHS.
She says: "My experience has been one long nightmare, and I feel a sense of loss for all the time I've spent trying to correct the problems I've suffered.
"I had no idea my surgeon was not insured to work in the UK or that he was self-employed.
"People need to know the risks of procedures.
"The fact that medical knowledge is needed for these procedures gives people a false sense of security, and it's easy to be misled."
The new online resource is funded by the Department of Health, in the wake of the breast implant scandal of 2012, when it emerged tens of thousands of British women had been fitted with unsafe silicone implants that were prone to rupture.
The website advises: "Never feel rushed or pressured into giving your consent. Be wary of surgeons or staff who try to convince you to go ahead."
There were more than 51,000 cosmetic procedures performed in the private sector in Britain last year alone.
Mr Stephen Cannon, vice-president of the RCS, said people should do their research and think twice before opting for a cosmetic procedure.
"The vast majority of cosmetic surgery is carried out in the private sector and many people do not realise that the law currently allows any qualified doctor - surgeon or otherwise - to perform cosmetic surgery, without undertaking additional training or qualifications," he said.
"Our advice is that if you are thinking of having some kind of work done, make sure you consult a surgeon who is trained and experienced in the procedure you are considering.
"Look them up on the General Medical Council's register."
But what about East Belfast Ladies FC? Never heard of them?
The team only formed 18 months ago and entered their first league last year, but despite their inexperience, they did the double in their first season, winning the Northern Ireland Women's section 2 league and cup.
Moreover, they didn't form because of any particular passion for the sport, but because their then head coach, John Spence, wanted to do something about the lack of recreational groups for women in the area.
The group has mixed abilities. Leanne Watter joined because her husband encouraged her, and despite never having played football, was named 'Player of the Year' by her fellow teammates.
"I always enjoyed playing football in the back garden with my son," she said.
"I started at 31 years of age. I couldn't take a proper throw-in when I started, but with pure determination and learning, I could take one by the end of the year."
Many of the players do not have access to childcare in the evenings, so they bring their children along to the training sessions.
Trish Neil travels as far as Larne every week, just to attend training and be part of the team.
"I wanted to play somewhere that is sociable and fun," she said.
"I don't think I've missed very many training sessions all year, I really enjoy it and I bring the kids up with me. I've played for a few different clubs - in Ballymena and in America - but everyone works so hard, we all want it so much."
Leanne's husband Stephen Watter is the clubs assistant manager, but this year he is stepping into the role of manager, taking over from John Spence.
"In the first couple of months the turnout was great, but the football wasn't," he said.
"There were lots of different abilities and levels, so we took a few hammerings at the start.
"It was hard to keep the morale up, but once we got used to it, they were training a few times a week.
"They were dedicated and the enthusiasm was there, so the experience just followed naturally."
In a short time, the club has risen to prominence in the community.
Emma Shaw doesn't play football, but attended a community event about education in working class areas and she ended up helping the club behind the scenes.
"Within the last 23 months, we've taken a lot of courses, including autism awareness, first aid, community development and facilities management training," she said.
"It's not just about football, it's about what football can do for the community. We want to be more than a club and that is the aim for the team."
Stephen Watters said there are "so many talented girls out there in Northern Ireland, who don't even realise they are good footballers".
"I'd encourage all girls out there, even if you have a wee bit of an inkling that you would like to play football, try it out, find the time, and go out and enjoy it," he added.
Beamish Museum is replicating an end of terrace shop from Bow Street in the town for its new 1950s attraction.
A public vote is being held to decide whether it should be a hairdresser's, a toy shop and dolls' hospital or an electrical goods store.
The £10.75m 1950s-style development will also include shops, a cinema, cafe, community centre and houses.
People will be able to cast their vote during a series of events, starting on Tuesday at Captain Cook Square Shopping Centre.
The decision will be announced at the museum during the October half-term holiday.
Lisa Peacock, from Beamish, said: "This shop will be a replica of the one in Bow Street, Middlesbrough, so we wanted people from the town to choose what type of shop it will be.
"We'd also love to hear people's memories of shopping in Middlesbrough during the 1950s and see any photographs they may have."
It is being fought between soldiers who support the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, and a group of fighters known as rebels, who don't want him to be in power anymore.
Because it is being fought between two sides within the same country, it is known as a civil war.
But why did it start and what do both sides want?
The trouble began in 2011 in the Syrian city of Deraa.
It began because local people decided to protest after 15 schoolchildren were arrested - and reportedly tortured - for writing anti-government graffiti on a wall.
The protests were peaceful to begin with, calling for the release of the children, democracy and greater freedom for people in the country.
The government responded angrily and, on 18 March 2011, the army opened fire on protesters, killing four people.
The following day, they shot at mourners at the victims' funerals, killing another person.
People were shocked and angry at what had happened and soon the unrest spread to other parts of the country.
In July 2012, the International Red Cross said the violence in Syria had become so widespread that it was in a state of civil war.
When the war first began, the protesters just wanted democracy and greater freedom.
But once government forces opened fire on peaceful demonstrations, people demanded that President Bashar al-Assad resign. However, he refused to do this which made the protestors extremely angry.
As the violence got worse, he offered to change some things about the way the country was run, but the protesters didn't believe him.
As President Assad still has a lot of people in Syria that support him and his government, the fighting continues as the protestors have not yet got what they want.
A little confusingly, there isn't one single group of rebels fighting against President Assad and the government's army.
The opposition - that is, those who all want the president to step down - is made up of several kinds of people. These include groups of rebel fighters, political parties who disagree with Assad, and those living in exile who cannot return to the country.
It is thought there could have been as many as 1,000 different groups opposing the government since the conflict began, with an estimated 100,000 fighters.
Complicating the situation further, the crisis in Syria has become more than just a war between people who are for or against President Assad.
In early 2014, in neighbouring Iraq, an extremist group that calls itself Islamic State - or IS - began to take over large areas of the country.
IS is a radical militant group which has used violence against anyone who doesn't agree with their extreme views.
They have also persecuted other groups, including Christians and Yazidis.
They later moved into eastern Syria and, in the chaos of the war, they were able to gain land and power there too.
Now, both Assad's forces and the rebels are having to fight a separate conflict against the terrorist group IS at the same time.
To try and stop IS, in September 2014 the US, UK and other countries joined forces, using planes to attack their fighters on the ground in Iraq. These attacks are known as airstrikes.
On Wednesday 2 December 2015, MPs voted in favour of military action in Syria against IS.
The first airstrikes were carried out by RAF Tornado jets within hours of the vote in the House of Commons.
The war has meant that millions of ordinary people living in Syria have had to escape from their homes in order to find somewhere safer to live.
Some have stayed in Syria, while others have left the country entirely.
Many of those that remain in Syria have run away from the cities to seek safety in the countryside. Lots of children can no longer go to school because their schools have been destroyed or there are no teachers where they have moved to.
Of those that have left Syria, many have fled to the neighbouring nations of Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq.
When people are forced to leave the country where they live like this, they become known as refugees. The conflict in Syria has caused one of the largest refugee movements in recent history.
Many refugees have made the decision to try to reach Europe, which can be a long and dangerous journey. This is because some countries in Europe have said they will accept refugees who want to start a new life here.
In September 2015, a report showed Germany welcoming hundreds of migrants, while Prime Minister David Cameron said the UK would accept up to 20,000 people from Syrian refugee camps by 2020. France said it would take in 24,000 people.
Millions of people both inside and outside Syria are in desperate need of help, but aid agencies say that getting aid to people inside the country is very difficult and dangerous.
In September 2016, a convoy of aid lorries was hit by an attack, meaning the UN announced it would be stopping all aid in Syria. People trying to carry on their lives in this country are in desperate need for the situation to change.
Everyone in Syria will know people who have died in this conflict, but the exact number of those who are gone may never be known.
One other topic that has been widely discussed about the war in Syria is about the weapons that have been used.
There is an international law which bans countries from using chemical weapons in warfare, as they are deemed too cruel to use on other human beings.
However, it was reported that chemical weapons were used during the war in Syria (this was later confirmed), which caused a great deal of anger around the world. Other countries then had to decide how they were going to respond. The Syrian government denied that it was responsible.
MPs in Westminster voted against responding to this with military action in Syria. The US and French governments discussed limited missile strikes against military targets. However, Russia has strong ties with President Assad's Syrian government and has helped Syria in the past by supplying weapons.
In September 2013, Russia suggested that the Syrian government should give up its chemical weapons and agree to destroy them so they can never again be used.
The process of destroying the weapons began in October 2013 and the people working on this project were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize later that month.
It doesn't look like the fighting is likely to end any time soon.
There is a stalemate between the two sides. This means that the government forces and the rebel groups are unable to defeat each other or agree on the future.
Caught in the middle of these wars, the Syrian people have lost their homes and members of their family.
Lots of countries are trying to continue to supply aid, such as food and emergency supplies, but the US and Britain said they had to stop all other support as they feared the equipment may be stolen by rebel groups, which they did not support.
For now, discussions continue between powerful nations like the US, Russia, Britain and France, to try to work out if there is another way to help Syria achieve peace. But for the time being, the conflict continues.

Rich countries say they will strongly resist this move.
Secretary general Ban Ki-moon opened the ministerial segment of the talks in Warsaw, Poland with a warning that the world was facing the wrath of a warming planet.
Mr Ban called on delegates to respond with wisdom, urgency and resolve.
He told delegates that climate change threatens current and future generations, referring to the recent disaster in the Philippines as an example of the extreme weather the world can expect more of.
He had recently visited Iceland and was told that it may soon be a land without ice thanks to rising temperatures.
He called on the negotiators to speed up their discussions that aim to secure a new global treaty in 2015.
However talks here in Warsaw are on familiar territory, the old divide between rich and poor countries over who has responsibility for curbing warming and critically, who will pay for the damage caused by climate change.
Many developing countries are working hard to adapt to climate change often with aid from richer countries.
But campaigners say those funds alone are not enough, because weather events are becoming more extreme and often overwhelm the steps poorer countries have taken.
This was exactly what happened in the Philippines says Dr Saleemul Huq, the director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development.
"The Philippines is adapted to typhoons, the people have shelters and they went to them," he said.
"In normal circumstances you would have heard nothing about it, but in this case they died in the shelters because it was a super typhoon of unprecedented magnitude.
"That's loss and damage, you can't adapt to that."
At last year's UN talks in Doha the parties agreed that by the time they met in Poland, an "international mechanism" to deal with loss and damage should be established.
It has re-opened old wounds of division between rich and poor. The wealthier countries are fighting hard to have any legal responsibility for compensation diluted or removed. But according to Harjeet Singh from Action Aid, this time they won't get away with it.
"There is a lot of pressure on the rich countries, they recognise there is a challenge, but they are keeping their eyes closed, I don't think that will work anymore, they have to deliver," he said.
But not everyone is so sure about that. Many campaigners fear that the influx of politicians will mean a compromise deal will be done.
"I don't think we're likely to see some grand scheme materialise that addresses [loss and damage]," said Paul Bledsoe, an expert on energy and climate with the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
"I think reparations is the right word, in my view it's what's being sought, on issues like slavery or war reparations, historically they have a very difficult time occurring."
Mr Bledsoe believes the most likely outcome is that the richer nations will increase their commitments on finance in return for kicking the legal mechanism into the long grass.
The scale of the monies needed to help countries adapt to climate change was underlined here in Warsaw with a report that Africa would need $350bn annually if global warming rises to between 3.5 and 4C.
The United Nations Environment Programme (Unep) report says that Africa is already facing costs of between $7-$15bn a year by 2020.
But if action to cut carbon emissions is delayed, then the total costs could reach 4% of Africa's GDP by 2100.
"Hands-only CPR" has previously been supported by the Resuscitation Council (UK).
But it is now being promoted in a new advertising campaign featuring footballer-turned-actor Vinnie Jones.
New polling by the BHF suggests many feel worried about the idea of giving the "kiss of life".
The official position of the BHF is now that anyone who does not have CPR training should ignore the kiss of life in favour of hard and fast compressions in the centre of the chest.
A new poll conducted across the UK and involving 2,000 respondents showed nearly half were put off from performing CPR because of a lack of knowledge.
A fifth worried specifically about the thought of the kiss of life or about contracting an infectious disease.
Four in 10 people were worried about being sued if they did something wrong, even though the BHF argues no such case has ever succeeded in Britain.
"The kiss of life can often be daunting for untrained bystanders who want to help when someone has collapsed with a cardiac arrest," said Ellen Mason, senior cardiac nurse at the BHF.
She said the kiss of life remained the "gold standard" of CPR, but added if a person had not had training the best option would be to just do chest compressions.
The BHF is also suggesting people hum to the Bee Gees hit Stayin' Alive, to get the tempo of chest compressions right, although others have in recent months questioned whether this is appropriate, suggesting it may lead to compressions which are too shallow.
The new BHF advert features Vinnie Jones in his traditional hardman guise, administering chest compressions to a Bee Gees backbeat after being thrown an unconscious body by his henchmen.
Commenting on the new campaign, he said: "There really shouldn't be any messing about when it comes to CPR. If you're worried about the kiss of life just forget it and push hard and fast in the centre of the chest.
"Hands-only CPR should give have-a-go heroes the confidence to step in and help when somebody is in cardiac arrest."
Ms Mason said everyone should learn what to do: "Thirty thousand people have a cardiac arrest in the UK every single year and half of those are witnessed, but in most cases no-one acts, no-one knows what to do, people panic.
"If it was us, we would all want our loved ones and ourselves to be saved, wouldn't we?"
Three candidates were running for the post of directly-elected mayor in the borough of Copeland - Conservative Chris Whiteside, Independent Mike Starkie and Steve Gibbons for Labour.
Local businessman Mr Starkie won with a majority of 974.
It was reported earlier 1,353 out of the 33,565 ballot papers submitted were spoiled.
The new role will replace the post of council leader, following a referendum last year.
Mr Starkie said: "The people have voted in numbers, the message is very clear for all the political parties.
"The people believe we are elected to serve them and to fight for them, not to fight with each other."
Conservative Mr Whiteside was eliminated from the first round of votes after he polled 9,509 (29%), compared to Mr Gibbons' 12,867 (40%) and Mr Starkie's 9,836 (31%).
As no candidate achieved more than 50%, a second preference count was carried out, with Mr Gibbons getting 14,259 votes and Mr Starkie 15,233.
An inquest on Tuesday heard Caitlin McVeigh-Conlon died after the drugs found in her system induced one or more seizures.

Online threats against former Ulster Unionist Lagan Valley MLA Jenny Palmer are the main story in the Belfast Telegraph.
It is understood the comments on her Facebook page warn Mrs Palmer and her councillor husband, John, to leave the area.
Mrs Palmer said they made her feel "vulnerable". She said she had told the police about the abuse and refused to be intimidated.
DUP leader Arlene Foster's "delight" at the support she received from her party's new group of MLAs on Tuesday makes the front page of the News Letter.
It also says one DUP MLA has already responded to North Antrim MP Ian Paisley's comments that the party could do with "perhaps a bit of humble pie being served up and eaten".
East Londonderry MLA Maurice Bradley apparently tweeted to the paper that Mr Paisley "would need to take his own advice". "It is clear he is out on a limb here and does not speak for me," he added.
Meanwhile, the Irish News reports that Sinn Féin had some advice for Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire after their talks at Stormont.
Michelle O'Neill accused Mr Brokenshire of "waffle" and voiced frustration at his replies on funding for legacy inquests.
She said they had asked him to "come back with a positive outcome for those families that need access to the coroner's inquest reports".
Mr Brokenshire, who had discussions with the five main parties, said the meetings had been "businesslike" and recognised "a sense of the urgency of what is at hand here".
The News Letter reports the comments from the head of the Civil Service in Northern Ireland, Sir Malcolm McKibbin, that a lack of an agreed budget is one of the "most difficult and pressing issues".
He says there "is a small window of opportunity" to allow a new executive to agree a budget and put it to the assembly before the start of the new financial year.
The Daily Mirror adds that Sir Malcolm has written to all staff setting out the way ahead if a new executive is not established by April.
It states that in such circumstances the Department of Finance's permanent secretary has powers to allocate a limited proportion of the block grant.
Separately, the Mirror indicates Prime Minister Theresa May will not be flying to Northern Ireland anytime soon to broker a deal.
Mr Brokenshire has been in regular contact with the PM and is expected to brief her at Wednesday's cabinet meeting. Mrs May's involvement in talks at some stage in the future has not been ruled out.
Politicians are used to tying themselves in knots, but if they need a helping hand, Donegal dad Paul Doherty might be the answer.

"Paul was very relaxed about it all," Georgina said. "I suppose he had no choice really and she came so quickly in the end."
Monitor said Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is currently running at a £12.6m deficit.
The regulator said it was concerned the trust may record a "large loss" over the financial year, instead of the £2.2m surplus previously predicted.
The trust said it would "fully co-operating" with the investigation.
Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Bassetlaw District General Hospital, Retford Hospital and Montagu Hospital in Mexborough are run by the trust.
Monitor said the trust's financial position may force it to apply for further support for funding in the future.
The investigation will try to find out how the deficit has occurred.
Paul Chandler, regional director at Monitor, said: "People are relying on Doncaster and Bassetlaw to provide them with high quality healthcare now and in the future.
"Therefore, we need to make sure the trust can do this in a sustainable way and within its budget."
Mike Pinkerton, chief executive of Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals, said: "On October 20, the trust announced inaccuracies in the reporting of the trust's financial position.
"An internal and external investigation into how our finances have been managed is already under way.
"As a trust, we will be working hard to maximise savings by remaining focussed on putting patient care first and scrutinising how we currently do things."
Last week, a report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated the hospital trust as "requiring improvement".
The CQC said staff vacancies were "impacting on the quality of service" in some areas, but did praise the trust over several areas of outstanding practice.
Efforts have been under way to save the sperm whale since the UK Coastguard received a call just after 07:30 GMT. It is thought it became stranded overnight.
The 14m-long (46ft) bull was found between Old Hunstanton and Holme-next-the-Sea, about two miles east of where another sperm whale died on 22 January.
The British Divers Marine Life Rescue said the whale died at about 20:00.
Beached whale: How the story unfolded
High tide arrived at the beach at 14:50 submerging the whale, but it was unable to right itself.
Mr Copeland, who helped in the rescue bid, said earlier that possible internal injuries meant the whale was unlikely to survive and their main focus was on keeping the animal comfortable.
The British Divers Marine Life Rescue said the mammal became stranded at Hunstanton overnight and was the 29th sperm whale to be washed up across Europe in the last few weeks.
Stephen Marsh, operations manager for the group, said there was nothing it could do to help.
"It's likely to be between 25 and 30 tonnes," he said.

2 February: One whale discovered stranded in France
3 February: Further two found in Germany
4 February: Second sperm whale discovered near Hunstanton - the 29th beached across Europe this year, according to experts
Rob Deaville, project manager at the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme, said the number of strandings was "unprecedented" in his 20 years' experience.
"We know why the whales have died because they die through the process of live stranding," he said.
"Obviously what has brought them into the North Sea in the first place is a question everyone wants to answer but that will take many weeks to months to try to address."

sperm whales in the world
29 sperm whales washed ashore across Europe in 2016
6 sperm whales beached in Norfolk and Lincolnshire in nearly two weeks
According to Dr Simon Ingram, a marine conservation lecturer at Plymouth University, it is possible the male whales, which normally live off the west coast of Norway, could have taken a wrong turn while heading south to find females or been lured by food.
"At some point probably a group of whales have entered the North Sea," he said.
"It's possible that they have turned left too soon," he said.
"They don't know where to go, they're not in familiar habitats.
"They are exhausted, lost and end up on beaches."
The whale became beached about 1.5 miles out on the sand.
Jeremy Littlewood from UK Coastguard said it was the sixth beached whale the agency had dealt with in the area recently.
"It is obviously a very distressing scene and we would advise members of the public, for their own safety, to keep at a safe distance," he said.
Expert analysis: Ben Garrod, broadcaster and Anglia Ruskin University lecturer
It is always tragic to see something like this, but it does seem like it is a naturally occurring event.
It is a massive pod and they have washed up in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.
The ones that have been dissected from mainland Europe have had very, very empty stomachs.
They are exhausted anyway and they come into these very shallow waters in the Wash and by the time they start to beach themselves they are in a cardio-vascular collapse.
By the time they start to wash up, they are in big trouble anyway.
This represents the largest sperm whale stranding episode in England in the last hundred years.
Five other sperm whales became stranded and died on beaches in Skegness, Lincolnshire, and Hunstanton last month.
The Receiver of Wreck and the Zoological Society of London have been informed of the stranding.
The authorities used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the demonstration, near the French consulate in Karachi.
The protest was part of a nationwide rally called by Jamaat-e-Islami, the country's largest Islamist party.
Charlie Hebdo featured a cartoon of Muhammad this week, a week after gunmen carried out a massacre at its offices.
Twelve people were killed in the Paris attack, carried out by two French Muslims angry over earlier depictions of Muhammad in the magazine.
On Thursday, Pakistani politicians passed a motion condemning Charlie Hebdo for publishing the latest cartoon.
Religious leaders openly called for journalists at the magazine to be hanged, and several religious groups called for protests after Friday prayers.
In Karachi, at least three people were injured during the clashes between police and about 200 protesters, who were mostly student activists from Jamaat-e-Islami.
Three people were reportedly hurt in the clashes, though it was not clear how they sustained their injuries.
One of the injured has since been confirmed as Asif Hassan, a photographer for the news agency AFP.
He was shot in the chest but doctors say he is out of danger following surgery.
Pakistan has denied firing bullets at the protesters, claiming the police only fired shots into the air.
The protesters had tried to get inside the French consulate.
Protest leaders said they wanted to hand a written complaint to consulate officials, but were stopped by police near the main entrance.
Witnesses say the police used batons, water cannon, tear gas and shooting in the air to disperse the protesters.
The area is now quiet, and protesters have been forced away from the consulate.
Pakistan also erupted in protests in 2006 over publication by a Danish newspaper of cartoon images of Muhammad.
The forward, who failed to net in his first two appearances since joining from Southport, met Jim Stevenson's pinpoint pass before slotting home.
Dover had taken the lead after just seven minutes as Stefan Payne found space on the edge of the box, turned his marker, and found the corner.
Payne's 25-yard strike was tipped over by keeper Paul Smith late on, as both sides settled for a point apiece.
Aldershot Town manager Barry Smith told BBC Surrey:

"I think we were disappointed with our first-half performance, but credit to the boys for coming out in the second half, playing a much higher tempo and creating chances.
"We didn't start sharp enough and allowed them to dictate the play and we should be doing it to them at home.
"It's a great finish (from Brodie) and that's why we've brought him here - to score goals."

The claim: 1.7 million pensioners are living in poverty and a million in fuel poverty.
Reality Check verdict: The figure for pensioners who are defined as living in poverty in the UK is a bit higher than that at 1.9 million. There isn't a specific figure for the number of pensioners in fuel poverty in the UK but a million is not an unreasonable estimate based on the figures that we do have.
The Conservatives have not given any details of how they would apply a means test or how much they would hope to save.
The winter fuel payment is between £100 and £300 (depending on your circumstances) paid to anyone receiving a state pension or people of pension age receiving certain other social security benefits.
In winter 2015-16 it was paid to 12.2 million people, 42,000 of whom lived elsewhere in Europe.
Kuenssberg: Labour cry foul over lack of Tory costings
Pensioner heating curbs 'sick and sneaky'
Mr McDonnell pointed out that since we don't know where the means test will fall, a number of less well-off pensioners could still lose the benefit.
He suggested it might just be people entitled to pension credit who would get the fuel allowance, although government sources have told the BBC that would not be the mechanism, and that there would be a consultation process to decide how it would be tested.
Pensioners with an income below £159.35 a week may claim pension credit - it's £243.45 for couples.
According to the latest figures from November there were 1.9 million people claiming pension credit, or 2.2 million if you include their partners, although there has been research suggesting that about one-third of people entitled to it are not claiming.
Mr McDonnell told the BBC that there were 1.7 million pensioners living in poverty and a million living in fuel poverty.
People count as living in relative poverty if they are in households with an income below 60% of the median household income. The median income is the one for which half of households have higher incomes and half have lower.
The government's preferred measure of pensioner poverty is after housing costs have been taken into account. Nearly three-quarters of pensioners live in homes that are owned outright (compared with roughly one in five of the working-age population) and so are less likely to have high housing costs.
On that measure, 16% of UK pensioners are in poverty, which is 1.9 million people.
There are also measures of absolute poverty, which may measure whether people are able to afford a basic lifestyle - about 8% of pensioners fall below the threshold for material deprivation.
To measure fuel poverty, the government looks at two things - how much you have to pay for fuel, and what your income is. You'll be considered to be in fuel poverty if your required fuel costs are above average and, were you to spend that amount, your remaining income would leave you below the official poverty line as explained above.
The latest government figures we have on fuel poverty relate to 2014 and suggest 2.38 million households in total in England were in fuel poverty.
There isn't a specific figure for the number of UK pensioners in fuel poverty, but according to Table 14 there were 621,000 households just in England in 2014 in which the oldest member was over 60. Age UK says this equates to more than 1 million individuals, although some of them will not yet be entitled to their state pension.

Leeds mosque leader Qari Asim said victims had been spat at or physically attacked but it went unreported because of a lack of confidence in police.
The Muslim Community Safety Forum said police figures did not give a true reflection of the current situation.
West, South and North Yorkshire Police urged people to report hate incidents.
Data supplied to the BBC showed that over the last year, race hate crimes had gone up 13% in Yorkshire.
However, the data also showed that there was no strong link between the EU referendum vote and a rise in the number of racially motivated hate crimes being recorded.
For example, in June 2016, 472 race hate crimes were dealt with by forces in North, South and West Yorkshire - the same number as in March 2016, three months before the referendum was held.
Wakefield councillor Nadeem Ahmed said he had been subjected to racist comments whilst out with his family.
Mr Ahmed, leader of the Conservative group, said for every incident flagged up to police many more went unreported and has urged victims to take a stand.
He said: "If I would have been on my own I wouldn't have been that angry, but my wife and children were in the car - they didn't need to hear that sort of language."
The claims comes as a new report published by the Muslim Community Safety Forum said there needed to be better awareness of how victims can report a hate crime.
Dr Asim, Imam of Leeds Makkah Mosque, said people needed to work together to create a more stable neighbourhood.
He said: "People have voted to leave Europe because they think it's going to make their life better, economically, politically and socially.
"If that doesn't happen in six months' time, I fear there are going to be worse crimes and hate crimes committed against European and South Asian communities."
Angela Williams, Assistant Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, said: "We have had a slight increase in incidents reported to us, but only really small increases.
"We believe that they are not being reported through to us, which is the issue. We're trying to raise awareness for people to come forward."

The migrants are just a short distance from up-market French Riviera resorts. Some have gone on hunger strike.
They were stopped on the border last week, and began a sit-in, some of them camping out at the railway station.
France says it is up to Italy to house them and assess their asylum claims, as they arrived in Italy by boat.
The Mediterranean migration crisis has put a huge strain on Italian, Greek and Maltese resources.
Most of the Ventimiglia group are from Sudan, Libya and Eritrea.
Italy is struggling to cope with boatloads of migrants arriving in unprecedented numbers from Libya.
People-smuggling gangs have taken advantage of Libya's war and chaos to run a lucrative racket sending packed, unseaworthy boats to Europe.
EU interior ministers are to discuss the crisis in Luxembourg on Tuesday. Italy and the other "frontline" Mediterranean countries are urging their EU partners to share the burden of handling asylum claims.
France and Italy are part of the EU's Schengen zone, where border controls are minimal. But states can tighten border checks in exceptional circumstances, for example to deal with an unexpected migrant influx.
Irish police said they are investigating the accident which happened at 16:00 BST on Saturday in Ballinrush, Kilworth.

While China excels at the Olympics and Paralympics, it has only ever qualified for one football World Cup, in 2002.
President Xi Jinping is a football enthusiast and previously said he wants China to win the World Cup in 15 years.
The plan was published by the Chinese Football Association (in Chinese) on Monday.
It sets out short, medium and long-term targets, including ensuring there is one football pitch for every 10,000 people by 2030.
The men's football team should become one of the best in Asia, while the female football team should be ranked as a world-class team, by 2030, the plan said.
By 2050, the report added, China should be "a first-class football superpower" that "contributes to the international football world".
China's men's team currently sits 81st in the Fifa world rankings, out of 204 nations, below far smaller nations such as Haiti, Panama and Benin.
The football league has been hit by corruption in recent years, with 33 players and officials banned in 2013 for match-fixing, although efforts have been made to clean up the sport.
The 23-year-old is not featuring for the Bluebirds, though Warnock said he was "not bombed out at all."
He explained that the good form of Arun Gunnarsson and Joe Ralls was the main reason Huws was not making the matchday squad.
"As it comes to January I suppose I will have to have a chat to find what he feels like," added Warnock.
"A lot will depend on what he wants.
"I'm quite happy to have him in the squad and he knows he's not bombed out at all he's training very well, but I do like to have that extra forward on the bench.
"He's been unlucky in some respects in the fact I've been delighted with the midfield.
"I think Gunnarson and Ralls have complemented each other, but I know he's itching to get a game.
"But it's difficult really to change what I think has been going very very well."
Huws has played 10 times for Wales, but missed out on the Euro 2016 finals when Chris Coleman's team reached the semi-final.
He joined Cardiff from Wigan Athletic in August 2016, but has made only three appearances this season - and none under Warnock who was appointed manager on 5 October.
Huws has played in three of Wales' four World Cup 2018 qualifying matches.
"I like to help players as well as just look after my first team squad," said Warnock.
"I realise when you're not in the team it's not very good for you."
Cardiff City are one place above the Championship relegation zone following their 3-2 win over Huddersfield.
The 26-year-old had been professional for nine years before his break.
"The way I looked at it was if I was laying on the track, paralysed myself and didn't have the desire to be a Grand Prix rider or world champion then I'd regret it," he told BBC Essex.
"Now I'm hungry - if anything happened like that I'd know it's what I wanted to do and not so much to suck up."
Bridger said he used the break from the sport to get over a past relationship and is now expecting a baby with his current partner.
In a bid to get fit again, he has lost 10kg and was winning motocross races before agreeing a return to the Elite League.

The Classic Air Force base at Coventry Airport is due to host the "Airbase gets Airbourne" show on 2 May.
The Classic Aircraft Trust says the event will feature a display of rare aircraft that date from the end of World War Two to the 1960s.
The trust described the base as, "a safari park of old aeroplanes".
The trust said the show would include the Gloster Meteor NF11, the night fighter variant of the pioneering British jet, the Meteor T7, the world's oldest flyable jet, and the Canberra, which set the world altitude record in 1957.
Jem Shaw, who oversees marketing for the trust, said: "Hardly any other museums have chosen this period of aviation history and yet it was so important.
"It was when the jet engine was first taking control and its inventor, Sir Frank Whittle, was an unsung hero."
He added Coventry, as the birthplace of Sir Frank, was the perfect place for the collection.
The trust says the base was only open to the public on a limited basis during 2012/13 because the site was threatened with the Gateway development, which was rejected by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles in February.
"Now that threat has gone and we've secured the future of Coventry airbase," said Mr Shaw.
The show will enable members of the public to enjoy pleasure flights in some - but not all - of the aircraft.
Lemos purchased a majority stake in G50 Holdings, the company which holds 82% of Morecambe's shares, in September.
He had disputed January's transfer of 99% of G50 shares to tax consultant Graham Burnard, who reportedly claimed Lemos had failed to pay for the share issue which saw him take control.
Burnard is acting on behalf of former co-chairman Abdulrahman Al-Hashemi.
Brazilian businessman Lemos had requested an injunction against Burnard and G50 Holdings to prevent a sale of Burnard's shares to Italian businessman Joseph Cala.
In February, Cala said he was still "committed" to his takeover of the League Two side despite Lemos' legal challenge.
A statement from Morecambe confirmed that Burnard is the sole director of the club and said they "can now confidently focus on next season".
The 20-year-old former Hull City youth player had been on trial with the League One side and played in Tuesday's pre-season friendly game with Ipswich.

The Parliamentary Assistance Allowance, currently €21,379 (£15,250; $23,460) per month, will rise to €22,879.
The European Parliament's 751 MEPs also raised the parliament's total budget to €1.84bn for 2016, from €1.75bn now.
Some MEPs want stricter monitoring of MEPs' expenses. But a report urging greater transparency was watered down.
The spending increases come despite many calls for the EU to rein in spending on its own administration - including strong calls from the UK Conservatives. The parliament's costs account for about 1% of the total EU budget.
The 2008 financial crisis forced national governments across Europe to cut administrative spending, and fuelled demands for the EU to do likewise.
Another EU institution, the European Court of Justice, has asked for 21 extra judges to be appointed. That would almost double the current total of 27. The change would cost an estimated €13.8m annually.
The ECJ says more judges are needed because of a "dramatic increase" in the court's caseload - from 398 in 2000 to 912 in 2014.
But some ECJ judges themselves oppose the proposal, calling it too expensive, the EUobserver website reports.
On Wednesday MEPs approved a report by a French Socialist MEP, Gilles Pargneaux, including a clause saying the parliament "stresses the need for greater transparency as regards the general spending allowances for members".
They said parliament officials should establish "more precise rules" for MEPs' spending.
But an amendment removed a strong demand by Mr Pargneaux for more transparency concerning the General Expenditure Allowance (GEA), a €4,320 monthly payment to each MEP to cover office costs, such as rent and phone calls.
One of the two deleted clauses expressed astonishment that MEPs "do not have to account for the way they have used the allowance and that for members who wish to do so, verification of their accounts by the Internal Auditor of Parliament is not possible".
That clause had also called for "the introduction of obligatory annual reporting by the members of their expenditures paid out of the GEA, or, failing that, for at least opening a procedure for verification of the Members' accounts on a voluntary basis".
A former Dutch Labour Party MEP, Michiel van Hulten, told the BBC that the transparency call was "watered down in a compromise amendment by the largest political groups".
The website Votewatch Europe shows that 83% of MEPs backed the amended version of the report.
Mr van Hulten, now a visiting senior fellow at the London School of Economics (LSE), said the office allowance "is the main outstanding issue" concerning MEPs' expenses, as controls on other MEP allowances "have been tightened up".
"For example, with the travel allowance now you have to show tickets to get the sum reimbursed. It's a lot better than it was say 15 years ago," he said.
Some parties in the European Parliament already declare their office expenditure voluntarily, he noted.
But Wednesday's vote "sends a signal that MEPs are not ready for this kind of transparency", he complained.
The total allocated to cover MEPs' staff expenditure next year is €202m, up €10m on 2015.
The parliament's total 2016 budget includes an extra €15m to beef up parliamentary security, including defences against cyber attack.
Gerard Deprez, a Belgian liberal MEP, steered the parliamentary budget report. He - like many other MEPs - argued that the parliament's workload had increased since 2009 as the Lisbon Treaty had given MEPs many more responsibilities.
But he called for a new rule to clarify the roles of MEPs' assistants in Brussels and those employed in MEPs' home nations.
The EU's anti-fraud agency Olaf is investigating the far-right National Front (FN) over its Paris-based assistants amid suspicions that the party misused EU funds.
Under the current system an MEP can have no assistants in Brussels but dozens of local assistants back home.
Mr Deprez also called for a rule to stop MEPs abusing the system of sending written questions to the European Commission. Some questions, he said, were motivated more by MEPs' desire to get noticed.
MEPs receive a monthly salary of €8,020, making a gross annual salary of €96,240, Green MEP Jean Lambert says on her website.
After EU tax the standard monthly salary is €6,250. British MEPs also pay UK tax and National Insurance contributions.
Przemyslaw Kaluzny is facing a total of 12 charges over a series of alleged incidents at Toys R Us on Sunday.
The 41-year-old is accused of picking up the boy and trying to run out of the shop with him before attacking his 67-year-old grandmother with the bat.
He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody.
Kaluzny, of Watson Street, Dundee, is first alleged to have stolen a mobile phone from a neighbour's flat before intentionally exposing his genitals to her. He is then said to have stolen a cricket bat from the flat before taking and driving away a Renault Laguna car.
He is then alleged to have driven the car from the Baxter Park area of the city to the Kingsway Retail Park without insurance and without a licence.
Prosecutors say Kaluzny then went into the Toys R Us store and committed a breach of the peace by behaving in a disorderly manner and running into the store while in possession of a cricket bat.
He is then said to have removed his clothing, shouted, bawled, entered the toilets and adopted a menacing and aggressive attitude, brandished the bat, and placed staff and customers in a state of alarm by struggling violently with them.
Kaluzny is further accused of an offence of public indecency by moving through the store while naked.
He is then alleged to have abducted a six-year-old boy by picking him up and attempting to run out of the shop while carrying him and detaining him against his will.
Kaluzny is further alleged to have assaulted the boy's 67-year-old grandmother by striking her on the head with the bat to her injury.
A final charge alleges that he broke a pair of police handcuffs while he was being transported from the store to Dundee's police HQ.
He made no plea or declaration during a brief private hearing at Dundee Sheriff Court, and was remanded in custody by Sheriff George Way until a further hearing next week.
The Teifi Coracle Netsmen have called on other anglers to also catch and release, as concerns mount about fish stocks in the River Teifi.
Natural Resources Wales figures show a decline in numbers, with just over 40 declared net catches on the river in 2015 compared to about 115 in 2014.
Declared rod catches were down from 300 in 2014 to just over 200 in 2015.
An NRW spokesman said the situation was approaching crisis point.
"It is coming to a fairly critical position, especially in light of salmon stocks.
"We're getting very close to being a crisis situation."
Mark Dellar, a licensed coracleman from Cilgerran, told BBC Wales the decision was prompted by "the decline in the fish we're catching".
He added: "We want to make sure this fishing style is kept for our children in generations to come."
"I've been fishing for 15 years with the coracles and there's been a steady decline in salmon stocks over that period of time with numerous things going on in the river... pollution, predation at sea," he said.
"All the information we're getting from NRW indicates that salmon stocks are in decline, and we need to try and do something about that."
NRW plans to hold a consultation in May on widening catch and release practices across Wales, to help deal with declining stocks.
In which case, I have to admit a failure.
It's important to point out that I wasn't wholly to blame, what with the government taking me to court and all that.
Nonetheless what I've finally learned isn't a story now - and probably wouldn't have been when I thought it might have been.
Let me explain....
Four years ago, I asked what I thought was an entirely innocent question using Freedom of Information laws.
Back in 2010, the coalition government were trumpeting a new red tape-busting cabinet panel, the Reducing Regulation Committee. I suspected that it was all froth and no action, so in 2012 I asked how often they had met since the committee's creation.
Twenty working days later, I thought, I'd get a number closely resembling one, namely the original meeting. How wrong I was, on both fronts.
The Cabinet Office, bored rigid I can only assume, decided to refuse my request on the basis that disclosing the number would impinge on cabinet collective decision-making. Balderdash I thought, or some other word beginning with B.
I therefore appealed, first to the Cabinet Office's own system (turned down) and then to the Information Commissioner's Office. Merry hell ensued. The ICO found in my favour, the Cabinet Office appealed, lost, appealed again, won, the ICO appealed for me, won, etc. Back and forth it went for three years. At one point, the government called in the fearsome-sounding "Treasury Devil", the so-called Star of the Bar, James Eadie QC, to argue their case.
Every few months a kindly solicitor at the ICO's office would email me with the latest twist in a story I had long lost interest in beyond knowing the indefatigable team at the ICO's office were sticking to their guns.
In November, word reached me that the end was nigh. A hapless Cabinet Office official was roundly condemned by a tribunal, who described her evidence as evasive and disingenuous.
Despite my increasing confidence that I'd get my answer, it was still something of a miracle to receive the response from the Cabinet Office on the Friday just before Christmas.
I'm now in a position to exclusively reveal to you, dear reader, that between 2010 and 2012, the Reducing Regulation Committee met on a total of 13 occasions.
You read it here first. Eventually.
Ministers are currently pondering whether to put restrictions on the Freedom of Information Act. In the meantime, how much it cost in legal fees to refuse my request for three years will be the subject of my next FOI request.
The 74-year-old, born near Huddersfield, survived a revolt by independent investors after receiving the support of billionaire owner Mike Ashley who said he had his "full backing".
Ashley has previously spoken of his belief that Hellawell is the right man to run Sports Direct with him, saying: "He knows my strengths, he knows my weaknesses."
Yet independent investors had been urged to vote against Hellawell's re-election because of a "catalogue of governance and operational failures" under his watch.
Many of these were acknowledged in a September 2016 report commissioned by the firm, following MPs saying that its treatment of staff was closer to "that of a Victorian workhouse than that of a modern, reputable High Street retailer".
Hellawell has faced pressure in other high-profile roles as the government's "drugs czar" and the chief constable of West Yorkshire Police.
He started a 36-year career in the police at the age of 20 after beginning his working life as a coal miner once he left school at the age of 15.
He became Britain's youngest sergeant aged 23 and progressed through the ranks to become assistant chief constable of West Yorkshire in 1983.
While in that role, he was criticised for his tough treatment of fellow officers. He shut police station bars and sacked some deskbound senior officers so he could appoint more to go on the beat instead.
He moved up to chief constable in 1993 after a spell in a similar role in Cleveland, where he won praise for the way he dealt with allegations of sexual abuse in the area as families were separated after controversial tests.
In between, he served in most departments and was awarded the Queen's Police Medal for Distinguished Service in 1990.
After the arrest of the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, in the 1980s, Hellawell was moved on to the case and managed to extract more confessions of attempted murder from him.
However, he also attracted criticism after spontaneously giving Sutcliffe a Christmas card, although he told the Sunday Times in 2000: "It was just part of the rapport thing to get him to open up."
During the 1960s, he launched one of the first dedicated drugs squads, while during his police career he also found time to study for a degree in social policy and take another one in law.
In 1998, he was appointed as Tony Blair's government's new UK anti-drugs co-ordinator - also known as "drugs czar" - with a remit of dealing with the problems of drug use and reducing the amount coming into the UK.
Even that move was criticised because during his time in West Yorkshire he had operated a policy of widespread cautioning of cannabis-takers instead of automatically prosecuting them.
Two years into the job he called for police to stop pursuing cannabis users so rigorously in an attempt to focus on drugs which cause "the major harm", such as heroin and cocaine.
However, he told the BBC he did not support "legalisation nor decriminalisation" of cannabis.
In 2001, his role was changed to make him a part-time adviser on international drug issues after the new Home Secretary, David Blunkett, took over his responsibilities.
He won praise for his work in the role from Mr Blunkett, who said: "Keith has done an excellent job in helping lay the foundations for the future."
A year later and Hellawell was gone - announcing his resignation on BBC Radio 4's Today programme over Mr Blunkett's decision to downgrade cannabis from a Class B to a Class C drug.
In May 2006, he became chairman of pharmaceuticals business Goldshield, which had been one of five companies charged by the Serious Fraud Office with conspiracy to defraud a month earlier. However, the case collapsed in late 2008.
The following year, Hellawell became chairman of Sports Direct - replacing David Richardson who had quit the role two years earlier.
Although the company's shares soared in recent years, 2016 saw a downturn with the firm dropping out of the FTSE 100 in March.
The company was also accused of exploiting its workers, many of whom are employed on zero-hours contracts, although Sports Direct has now pledged to abolish these terms for its directly employed, casual retail staff.
And at a parliamentary inquiry in 2015, Hellawell faced a barrage of criticism from MPs over his lack of knowledge about the collapse of one of Sports Direct's subsidiaries.
Bristol ran in six tries in a 45-19 win against Bedford at Ashton Gate to win 90-35 on aggregate over two legs.
Andy Robinson's side will hope to go one better in a third final in a row.
They will face Doncaster, who despite losing the second leg of their tie with Yorkshire Carnegie 17-14 at Castle Park, won 44-34 on aggregate.
Cross-code legend Kevin Sinfield made his final appearance at fly-half for Yorkshire after announcing his retirement last month.
Bristol and Doncaster will meet in a two-legged play-off final, starting on Wednesday, 18 May at Castle Park, with the return leg seven days later.

The gun is one of 164 weapons handed in since the amnesty began on 12 July.
A police spokesman said the cane gun, thought to have been made in the 1800s, was a prohibited weapon which could not be licensed.
He said it was a "very peculiar discovery".
Cane guns were popular in the 19th and early 20th Century, when they were used by gentlemen to shoot wild game within their grounds, the spokesman said.
Greater Manchester Police's firearms amnesty runs until Saturday.
The force said a "varying range of shotguns, air rifles and hand held pistols" had been surrendered, along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
Scotland Yard said it was thought he was caught by a gust of wind and blown off the pavement against the side of the bus near Finchley Central station.
Emergency services were called at about 12:35 GMT but the man died at the scene a short time later.
The man's next-of-kin have been told. A post-mortem examination will be held in due course.
The man allegedly behind the plot, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is thought to have had links to people in Birmingham, the Wall Street Journal said.
The BBC's Frank Gardner said it was plausible there was social media contact with people in the UK.
West Midlands Police said it was working with counter-terrorism forces.
Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale said: "The West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit is working hand-in-hand with counter terrorism colleagues in London, the national CT [counter-terrorism] network and security services to provide support to the French and Belgian investigations and of course to address any associated terrorism threat to the UK."
The Home Office has not confirmed the report.
Eleven militants took part in the attacks on 13 November, which left 130 people dead and more than 350 wounded.
Abaaoud was killed in a police raid in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis five days after the attacks.
The Guardian has also reported that one of the men involved in the Paris attacks visited the UK earlier this year.
The un-named man, the paper says, met people in London and Birmingham "suspected of having the intention and capability of plotting or assisting terrorist activity against the UK".
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said Abaaoud was known to have trained as a fighter with the so-called Islamic State and had "criss-crossed between Syria and Europe and back again".
He added that officers from Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command had been working in Paris since last month's attacks to help with investigations and it was not surprising they would be following up any leads within the UK.
The UK terrorism threat level is currently set at severe - meaning the prospect of an attack is "highly likely".
The government said security plans have been reviewed in the wake of recent events and at least seven potential plots have been foiled in the last year, although not on the same scale as the one carried out in Paris.
Manager Garry Hill informed his players of the decision following Saturday's FA Cup fourth qualifying-round 3-0 defeat by Maidenhead United.
"Garry addressed all of the players and told them exactly where they stand," chairman Mike Smith told BBC Surrey.
"Saturday's performance fell far, far below what Garry deserves and what the football club deserves."
The Cards are 16th in the table and the loss at the weekend means they have won only one of their last eight matches.
But Smith remains fully supportive of former Dagenham & Redbridge boss Hill, who has been in charge at Kingfield for almost five years.
Smith said: "The players have been left in no doubt about what it should mean to be a player at Woking Football Club.
"A circular has gone out making the entire squad available for loan.
"If they don't want to contribute then we'd be quite happy for them to go and ply their trade somewhere else.
"Garry remains focused on delivering the best he can and is dedicated to the cause."
Police previously said that a 40-year-old man was found in West George Street at about 02:45 on Saturday 20 August.
He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and later transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where his condition was described as serious.
The teenager arrested in connection with the incident is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
Dylan Fletcher-Scott and Stuart Bithell won the 49er class by finishing fifth in their final race of the regatta.
Ben Saxton and Nicola Groves had earlier triumphed in the Nacra 17 class, beating compatriots Tom Phipps and Nicola Boniface into second.
Miami, the first leg of the 2017 World Cup series, is the first regatta since last year's Rio Olympics.
Bithell and Fletcher-Scott, who was sixth alongside Alain Sign at Rio 2016, are a new pairing.
"It feels like we've gelled pretty well," said Bithell, who won silver at London 2012 in the 470. "There's still plenty of work to do, but it's nice to be on top of the podium."

The former high school principal and father of five children died of kidney failure in a care facility on Sunday.
He had been named the oldest man by Guinness World Records in August.
In April the world's oldest person and oldest woman, Misao Okawa from Japan, died at the age of 117. Her titles are now held by 116-year-old American Susannah Mushatt Jones.
Born in 1903 in Fukushima, Mr Momoi - whose death was announced on Tuesday - first worked as a teacher and later became a principal in high schools in his home prefecture as well as neighbouring Saitama.
He enjoyed reading, especially Chinese poetry, and also travelling around Japan with his late wife, according to Guinness.
When he received his certificate from Guinness in August, he told reporters: "I want to live for about two more years."
Guinness has not announced who is now the world's oldest man, although it may well be 112-year-old Japanese Yasutaro Koide who was born a month after Mr Momoi, according to wire agencies.
Susannah Mushatt Jones celebrated her 116th birthday on Monday with friends and family in New York.
Known as T to her 100 nieces and nephews - the nickname is short for "auntie" - she has said the secret to her longevity is sleep.
The oldest person who has ever lived according to Guinness was Jeanne Calment of France, who lived 122 years and 164 days. She died in August 1997.
The Wall Live, based on the band's hit 1970s album, took $158.1m (£102.3m) beating Bruce Springsteen and Madonna.
Waters sold 1.4 million tickets according to Pollstar magazine, which tracks the live concert business.
Springsteen, whose ticket sales stand at $79.9m (£51.7) currently, could overtake Waters by the end of the year.
"While Waters still has a few Walls left to build on his itinerary, Springsteen also has a long way to go before the end of the Wrecking Ball tour, and still could finish with the year's top outing," wrote the magazine.
Madonna, who - in third place - has topped $42m (£27.2m) in ticket sales worldwide, "also has an outside shot", as her tour has yet to reach the US.
During the first half of 2011, U2 were the top-selling live act worldwide with their 360° tour taking $164m (£106), while Waters was in second place and Bon Jovi in third.
U2 went on to secure the highest earning tour of 2011, taking $293m (£186m) according to figures from Billboard Boxscore.
In the US so far this year ticket sales for the 100 largest concerts are up 1.2% thanks to big stars like Lady Gaga, Madonna and Paul McCartney all touring there.
However Pollstar said "today's economic realities" had seen US concert promoters drop their ticket prices by an average of $6 (£3.80) to their lowest price since 2007, around $60 (£39).
Cirque du Soleil's touring musical stage show Michael Jackson: The Immortal has proved 2012's hottest ticket in North America with $78.5m (£50.8m) sales, compared to Waters in second with $61.9m (£40m).
His tour The Wall Live began in Toronto in September 2010, before moving across North America to Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South America.
Currently on its second North American leg, the classic Pink Floyd concept album had last been performed in Berlin in 1990.
During the London leg of the tour in May 2011, Waters was joined on stage at London's O2 Arena by the band's guitarist David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason, for a rare performance of Outside the Wall. | UN climate negotiations are bogged down in a dispute over who will take legal responsibility for the loss and damage caused by climate change.

The Croatian winger has been linked with a £48m move to Manchester United.
Spalletti says Inter want to keep Perisic, 28, but would reluctantly sell the former Wolfsburg player to free up funds to strengthen his squad.
"He's an important player in the team and we're counting on him to start the new season," added the ex-Roma boss.
Spalletti, appointed Inter boss in June, added: "Sure, there were rumours, but the status quo is that we want to keep Perisic.
"Having said that, if someone comes in with a very difficult offer to reject, then we'll consider that.
"But, of course, we'll need to find a valid alternative for Perisic as well."

Critics call him the "Kremlin's chief propagandist". And like many other top Russian officials, he is on the Western sanctions blacklist.
But the warning he delivered to Washington in last night's edition of his show News of the Week was, even for him, particularly dramatic. "Impudent behaviour" towards Russia may have "nuclear" consequences, he said.
"A Russian takes a long time to harness a horse, but then rides fast," said the news anchor, quoting a famous Russian saying.
By "riding fast", Kiselyov was referring to a string of recent Russian military deployments:
Kiselyov said that in recent days there had been a "radical change' in the US-Russian relationship.
Moscow was taking action, he said, because of "the loud talk in Washington of a 'Plan B' for Syria. Everyone understands what this plan means: direct military force in Syria against President Assad's forces and the Russian military".
In Washington, the US state department said last week it was continuing internal deliberations about "non-diplomatic" options regarding the war in Syria.
More on this story:
In News of the Week, a Russian defence ministry spokesman warned American bombers not to target the Syrian army. Kiselyov put it more bluntly: "We'll shoot them down," he explained.
Is this bravado? Bluffing? Or is there a real danger of a direct military confrontation between Russia and the US?
In recent days several Russian newspapers have been talking openly about the possibility of such a clash.
"There is a reason that Russia has deployed S-300 surface-to-air missile systems to Syria," Izvestia commented last week.
"Moscow is ready to use them. This won't spark a world war. After all, we've shot down American planes before, in Vietnam and Korea [in Soviet times]. Vladimir Putin is making it clear that Russia will make no more concessions [in Syria]."
And Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs warned that "this is the most dangerous situation since the Cold War".
"In the Cold War, confrontation was based on understanding of 'red lines'. Today this is not the case.
"Most likely no-one wants to launch a big collision between Russia and the United States. But this is exactly the case when unintended consequences might emerge."
To some in Moscow, Russia is merely reacting to Western aggression.
"There is a campaign to hit Russia everywhere possible," believes retired Lt Gen Yevgeny Buzhinsky. He cites Western sanctions against Moscow and even the banning of Russia's Paralympic team over doping allegations.
"Of course there is a reaction. As far as Russia sees it, as Putin sees it, it is full-scale confrontation on all fronts. If you want a confrontation, you'll get one.
"But it won't be a confrontation that doesn't harm the interests of the United States. You want a confrontation, you'll get one everywhere." | Russian state TV host Dmitry Kiselyov has a reputation for attacking the West. | 37,606,114 | 710 | 23 | false |
The Goodison Egyptology Collection, named after Anne Goodison from Waterloo, Liverpool, consists of more than 1,000 artefacts.
Most were collected during two trips to Egypt in 1887 and 1897.
The 40 boxes of treasure have been in storage since 1974 when the Bootle Museum and Art Gallery closed.
They will now form a permanent display at the Atkinson Art Gallery in Southport when the lottery-funded Egyptology gallery opens on Friday.
Little is known of Mrs Goodison, who was born Anne Padley in West Derby, Merseyside, in 1845.
Aged 22, she married George Goodison, a civil engineer for the Walton Local Board, who laid a sewerage system in the Everton area. As a gesture of thanks a road was named after him and - some years later - Everton FC's stadium on the same road took the name Goodison Park.
"Though little appears to be recorded of her, there are tantalising connections which have come to light," said Jo Chamberlain, documentation officer at the gallery.
"There is a reference to Marianne Brocklehurst contacting the then curator of Bootle Museum through the recommendation of Mrs Goodison asking for advice on setting up a museum in Macclesfield and when the Goodison's rented a cottage in Coniston, their next door neighbour was [art critic] John Ruskin."
Mrs Goodison purchased most of the objects with the advice of clergyman Revd Greville J Chester, who assisted in purchasing Egyptian antiquities for the British Museum in London.
She displayed them in her home until her death in 1906, aged 61, when her husband approached Bootle Museum with the aim of selling his wife's collection.
The museum could not afford the £400 asking price, but Thomas Davies, a retired businessman who had spent most of his working life in Egypt, bought it and gifted the collection to the museum.
The collection stayed on display in Bootle until the 1970s when the museum closed.
The objects were then transferred to the Botanic Gardens Museum in Churchtown, and then to the Atkinson Art Gallery in Southport in the 1990s where they have remained in storage until a new gallery was recently opened following lottery funding.
Ms Chamberlain said: "The new gallery has given us the opportunity to examine the items once more and through working with many specialists, fabulous new information is coming to light.
"Dr Ashley Cooke, of World Museum Liverpool, recently looked at some of the pottery from the collection and spotted markings that can be traced back to the famous Egyptologist Flinders Petrie.
"Revd Chester was known to be a good friend of Flinders Petrie, so it's not surprising that a quantity of artefacts from his excavations have made their way into this collection.
"It adds a provenance that makes the collection even stronger."
The champion of the 2015 series told the Radio Times religion was "incidental" to her and she "struggled" with it being so tied to her identity.
The negative comments she received "shocked" her, she told the magazine.
But she said those people were in the "minority" and most of the UK had reacted to her with "open arms".
Hussain, 32, told Radio Times magazine: "I certainly didn't enter a baking show in the hope of representing anyone.
"Being a Muslim for me was incidental, but from the day the show was launched, I was 'the 30-year-old Muslim' and that became my identity."
She told Radio Times it was difficult to adjust to that "identity" being forced upon her.
"I struggled at the beginning, because I thought: 'Am I the token Muslim?'
"I'd never, in all my years, been labelled like that.
"I heard it constantly, 'Oh, she's the Muslim, she's the Muslim'...
"And I was so shocked by the amount of negative comments I got."
Hussain, a second-generation British Bangladeshi, said she hears and sees "negativity" but that it does not affect her as those sharing such comments are in the minority.
"We are so much more accepting than that: I never realised Britain had such open arms," she said.
Since winning Bake Off, Hussain has appeared in her own series, The Chronicles Of Nadiya.
She is set to launch her new BBC TV show, Nadiya's British Food Adventure, on 17 July and will release a book of the same name alongside it.
Hussain will also host the BBC Two series The Big Family Cooking Showdown with Zoe Ball and judges Rosemary Shrager and Giorgio Locatelli this autumn.

The Cornwall Federation of WIs (CFWI) says the hall at Kelly Bray is theirs and anyone wishing to use it should seek their permission.
But according to locals, the hall was purchased in 1937 by the village for the WI.
The row started after the local branch of the WI, which met in the hall, folded in 2013 due to lack of members.
The CFWI changed the locks and put up a sign regarding entry requirements in November 2014.
However, residents changed the locks again and are using it for events.
The hall, on the corner of Stokes Road and Parson's Green, was built with the deeds saying the site was sold "for an Institute for the women of Kelly Bray".
The CFWI said in a statement: "The hall was established specifically for the use of WI and not for village hall purposes.
"The recent actions of the village hall committee to force entry in the building, change the locks and deny access to the trustees of CFWI are not only highly regrettable but also illegal, and the trustees are seeking a way forward through discussions with their lawyers."
The village hall committee rejected the WI's claims, saying that according to their interpretation of the deeds, the hall was purchased by the village for the use of the WI ladies and they have vowed to carry on using it.
It said the hall had been used over the years for events such as Christenings, wakes, dog-grooming classes and Young Farmers' pantos as well as the WI.
Susie Iannantuoni, from the village committee, said villagers had been "horrified" when the hall was locked by the WI.
"We have money to pay the bills, we have insured it and running repairs are being done.
"I think the situation is dreadful. We have the same aims as the WI, to have the hall for the community and reach out to people. We are providing a social service."
Yui Mok's picture of Madonna taking a tumble down stairs while performing on stage was one of the standout moments of the carefully choreographed 2015 Brit Awards at the O2 Arena, London.
Stefan Rousseau's picture of Lucy Howarth's reaction while Prime Minister David Cameron was helping with a reading lesson at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Primary School in Westhoughton, near Bolton, broke through the carefully arranged photocalls and stage-managed visits to become the defining image of the general election campaign.
Saleroom photocalls are a staple part of the diet of every press photographer, but Dominic Lipinski turned a routine assignment at Christie's London showroom ahead of an impressionist, modern, post-War and contemporary sale in New York into this beautifully crafted image.
Kensington Palace had worked hard with the media arrangement for the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's second child - and there was no repetition of photographers waiting outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London for days beforehand. And while everyone wanted to see the new addition to the Royal Family, it was Prince George who melted many hearts as he arrived his father, Prince William, to see his new sister. Picture by Anthony Devlin.
The general election campaign in Scotland was just as hard fought as it was south of the border. Andrew Milligan photographed First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in a playhouse with a highly relevant front door as she visited the ABC Nursery in Dedridge, Livingston.
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival always delivers strong images. Andrew Milligan produced this pictures of Morphsuited performers David Labanca and Gianmarco Pozzoli, from Italian dance company Discoteque Machine, performing in a giant kaleidoscope at Camera Obscura.
"Smile please." These two endangered 10cm (4in) baby undulate rays were photographed by Jonathan Brady at the Sea Life London Aquarium, where they are part of the attraction's breeding and tracking programme.
On the day the Queen became Britain's longest reigning monarch, she inaugurated the new £294m Scottish Borders Railway. Andrew Milligan was the only photographer allowed on the train.

Wherever he travels, Mayor of London Boris Johnson makes pictures. PA photographer Stefan Rousseau was with him when he joined a street rugby tournament in Tokyo. As competitive on the playing field as on the political hustings, he knocked over 10-year-old Toki Sekiguchi, who was unharmed in the collision.
Andrew Milligan was in Ghent to see Great Britain's Andy Murray mobbed by his team-mates after beating David Goffin during day three of the Davis Cup final to bring the trophy back to the UK for the first time in 79 years.
Owen Humphreys was one of the first on the scene in the Cumbrian flooding, and stayed with the story for several days. This picture of a man riding his bike down through floodwater in Eldridge Street, Carlisle, was rather different from the all-too-familiar pictures of rescue workers in rubber boats and householders drying out their waterlogged possessions.
"Please note that we have been informed by Barnet that inflatables will not be allowed into the ground on the day of the fixture," said a statement on Grimsby's website.
Two years ago Grimsby fans threw dozens of beach balls and blow up footballs onto the pitch at Barnet when both teams were in the Conference.
One fan was later found guilty of assaulting a football steward with an inflatable shark.
The display was part of a protest after a fan was ejected from the ground at Forest Green Rovers for failing to hand over an inflatable football.
Grimsby, who are 14th in League Two, have been allocated 700 tickets for Barnet, who sit one place and seven points behind the Mariners. They play on Saturday, 29 April at 15:00 BST.
Grimsby fans have a long history of taking inflatables to away grounds.
In 1989, thousands of their supporters descended on Plough Lane when Grimsby, then in the old Fourth Division, played top-flight Wimbledon in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Grimsby lost the game 3-1 but attracted headlines for a huge shoal of inflatable 'Harry Haddock' fish which filled the terraces.
Grimsby's run to the last-16 of the competition had included a third round win over top-flight Middlesbrough.
The craze of taking inflatables to football ground took a real hold during the 1988-89 season.
Stoke City fans took 3,000 blow-up Pink Panthers to Manchester City that season, while inflatable bananas have become associated with City.
According to City's website, inflatable bananas have become part of "the club's folklore and have been a staple part of matchdays for City fans for almost 30 years".
Infantino, who became head of Fifa in February, previously spoke of expanding the World Cup from 32 teams to 40.
Under his favoured 16-group structure the top two teams would progress to the last 32 and ongoing knockout matches.
A decision will be made in January but any change would not be likely to take effect before the 2026 World Cup.
Fifa's council will discuss the proposal at a meeting on 9 January but Infantino, 46, made expansion part of his election manifesto because he wants to allow more countries the chance to compete at football's flagship event.
If world football's governing body does not adopt the 16-group format, other options that will be considered include:
The number of teams competing at a World Cup last increased in 1998 when the tournament expanded from 24 to 32 countries.
Uefa's Euro 2016 tournament featured 24 nations, an increase from the 16-team format in place since 1996.
The 24-year-old faced strong tackles, particularly from defender Allan Nyom, during Palace's 2-0 win in Hong Kong.
"They were looking for him, to injure him," said De Boer.
"He's one of the exciting players in the league. I don't want to think he'd be out for two weeks or months."
Although De Boer - who was named Palace boss last month - did not mention Nyom by name, he appeared to accuse the Cameroon right-back.
"The first challenge should have been a yellow card, then he knows he can't do another challenge.
"If we want to sell the Premier League product, we have to do it well."
Baggies boss Tony Pulis was also asked about the strong tackles on Ivory Coast international Zaha.
He said: "I thought it was a competitive game, a good game.
"Allan likes defending. He got there as quick as he could, but not quick enough. There wasn't any malice in it."
China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said the six firms met regularly from 2001 to 2006 to decide what to charge for displays.
The Chinese fines are the latest levied by governments around the world over the price fixing deal.
In late 2011 the six paid the US $553m (£357m) to settle similar claims.
The price fixing ring came to light as a result of a US Justice Department investigation and has led other governments and trade bodies to punish the six firms. In 2010 the European Commission fined the six firms 649m euros (£527m) for operating the cartel.
Despite making the payments the six firms, which includes Taiwanese firms Chimei Innolux, AU Optronics, Chunghwa Picture Tubes and HannStar Display, deny responsibility for the claims made against them.
The NDRC fine involves the firms repaying all the profits they made in China as a result of price fixing (208m yuan, £21m) as well as an additional penalty payment of 144m yuan (£14m).
"The enterprises involved in the price monopoly acts have harmed the legitimate rights and interests of the domestic color TV enterprises and consumers," said the NDRC in a statement.
The Wales management have a reciprocal deal with the French club as part of their coaching team's development.
Toulon fitness coach Paul Stridgeon helps Wales during international periods.
"Shaun is contracted to Wales through to 2019," a WRU statement read.
"The WRU and national squad have a close working relationship with Toulon.
"As normal practice in this environment there is always coaching CPD (continued professional development) and exchange of ideas and experience.
"Toulon coaches have spent time with us and we do that reciprocally and that is the situation here."
Edwards signed a four-year extension to his Wales contract in December 2015.
In a tweet, the US president-elect derided the claim by North Korea's Kim Jong-un that preparations were in the final stage, saying: "It won't happen."
It was not clear if Mr Trump was expressing doubts about Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities or was planning preventative action.
Mr Trump also berated China for failing to help rein in its ally North Korea.
"China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won't help with North Korea. Nice!" Mr Trump tweeted.
"We would not agree with that assessment," US State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters at a regular briefing on Tuesday.
A spokesman for China's foreign affairs ministry said Beijing's efforts on Korean peninsula denuclearisation were "perfectly obvious".
China had "proactively participated" in UN discussions and jointly passed several resolutions, the spokesman pointed out.
In a televised New Year message on Sunday, Mr Kim said North Korea was close to testing long-range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
He said the country was now a "military power of the East that cannot be touched by even the strongest enemy".
North Korea has conducted two nuclear tests over the last year, raising fears that it has made significant nuclear advances.
But it has never successfully test-fired long-range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
Experts estimate it might take less than five years. UN resolutions call for an end to the country's nuclear and missile tests.
There are no ifs or buts in Mr Trump's tweet - simply the words: "It won't happen".
They may mean that Mr Trump believes North Korea will fail to make the technological progress, or that the regime will collapse, or that he could persuade Kim Jong-un to renounce his nuclear programme - he said before the election that the two leaders might sit down over a burger.
Or it could be that Mr Trump is considering military action. If so, experts believe the options are limited.
One told the BBC that neither "bunker-busting" bombs nor a special forces operation would be certain to destroy the programme.
The most likely counter-measures would be infecting computers with disruptive viruses, and perhaps the assassination of key scientists, something difficult to do for many reasons.
North Korea's nuclear programme: How advanced is it?
The alarming progress of a nuclear North Korea
Prof Siegfried Hecker of Stanford University in California told the BBC in September that North Korea's ability to field a missile fitted with a nuclear warhead capable of reaching the US "is still a long way off - perhaps five to 10 years".
Mr Kirby at the US State Department indicated that the US agrees saying that although North Korea's leader "continues to pursue both nuclear and ballistic missile technologies... We do not believe that at this point in time he has the capability to tip one of these with a nuclear warhead."
North Korea claims to have developed heat-tolerant materials that would allow long-range missiles to re-enter the atmosphere, but many Western experts have cast doubt on this.
Prof Hecker also worries that North Korea's technological ability increases the likelihood of the spread of nuclear weapons to "non-state actors" or "terrorists".
The incident at the Glenavy River was reported on Friday evening at about 17:00 BST.
The NIEA said it was due to a "high severity" water pollution incident.
They have launched an investigation into the pollution.
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said: "I am concerned about this. I will be monitoring developments here closely along with NIEA officials."
A spokesperson for the NIEA said: "Officers initially observed a number of dead trout over a distance of approximately 500 metres in the Glenavy River.
"Further to the NIEA investigation, the polluting discharge was confirmed as an agricultural source.
"The source of the pollution was identified and samples have been taken with a view to initiating prosecution proceedings."
The incident was first reported on Friday by members of Glenavy Conservation and District Angling Club.
Club member Barbara McGeown said the incident was "very disappointing".
"It had to fall to someone else... I felt it had to fall to me," he said.
The justice secretary was set to back his fellow Leave campaigner. Mr Johnson pulled out after Mr Gove's switch.
Home Secretary Theresa May, who backed staying in the EU, is favourite to win the contest and become prime minister.
The other contenders are Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb, who backed Remain, former defence secretary Liam Fox, who backed leaving the EU, and energy minister and Leave campaigner Andrea Leadsom.
Nominations for the Conservative Party leadership closed at midday on Thursday.
The winner of the contest - sparked by David Cameron's decision to resign after the UK voted to leave the EU - is set to be announced on 9 September.
Mr Gove's decision to run for the leadership and Mr Johnson's subsequent decision to bow out of the contest sent shockwaves through the political world in a day of high drama.
In an interview with the BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Mr Gove, explaining his reasons for standing, said following last week's Brexit result he felt the country needed a leader "who believed heart and soul in leaving the European Union".
"I also believed we needed someone who would be able to build a team, lead and unite. I hoped that person would be Boris Johnson," he said.
But he added: "I came in the last few days, reluctantly and firmly, to the conclusion that while Boris has great attributes he was not capable of uniting that team and leading the party and the country in the way that I would have hoped."
Mr Gove said he had only decided to run for the leadership late on Wednesday evening, and was still to speak to Mr Johnson about his decision.
He rejected as "just not true" accusations from Mr Johnson's supporters that he had betrayed the former London mayor by deciding to stand for leader, rather than throw his weight behind him.
He said he had been "trying hard to persuade" Conservative MPs over the course of the week that Mr Johnson was the right candidate to be leader but after reflecting on conversations with colleagues "I realised it was not going to work".
"So I tried as hard as I could but last night, reflecting on this, I came to the conclusion that ultimately Boris could not build that team, could not provide that leadership and that unity.
"It had to fall to someone else. As someone who had argued consistently that we should leave the European Union, and as someone who's experienced at the highest levels in the Cabinet, I felt it had to fall to me," he said.
Mr Gove - who along with Mr Johnson was a prominent figure in the Leave campaign - also confirmed he had not discussed his decision with Chancellor George Osborne.
Echoing arguments he made during the EU referendum campaign, he said he would work to bring down immigration outside the EU to a "manageable" level, built on an Australian points-style system.
"I'll negotiate with toughness, and with great attention to detail to get the best possible deal for Britain. It's only when we are outside the European Union that we can at last bring those numbers under control in the way that the public want," he said.
Setting out his Brexit plan, Mr Gove said he would not trigger Article 50 - the formal process for leaving the EU - until he was ready to do so.
"The decision to trigger Article 50 is in the hands of the next prime minister. If that is me, I will make a judgement as to when is right for Britain and I won't be hurried or hassled by anyone into pressing that button or triggering that article until I believe it is right for this country," he said.
From the Iraq War and global trade deals to police violence against African-Americans, cyber-hacking and tax policy, the two presidential candidates went back and forth over a heated 90 minutes.
But there were a few notable things that weren't mentioned.
As the candidates spoke, some 250,000 Syrians trapped in eastern Aleppo continued to be bombed by devastating air strikes that have been described as possible war crimes.
The US government has taken a leading role in criticising the Syrian government and its Russian backers over the strikes, but neither candidate mentioned it.
Only one segment of the debate - "securing America" - touched on foreign policy issues. With two debates to come, the Syrian war may well be raised.
Still, subjects including so-called Islamic State, the Iran nuclear deal and America's security partnerships did come up. The lack of attention to Syria could show that it's simply not seen as an important issue for most Americans.
Why are so many children dying in Aleppo?
Despite being a signature policy that has attracted much attention during the primary season and election campaign, Donald Trump did not mention his plan to build a wall along the 1,900-plus mile US-Mexico border.
He has pledged to make Mexico pay $5 to $10 billion (£3.9 to £7.7 billion) for the wall if he becomes president.
In fact, despite immigration being a key campaign issue, especially for Mr Trump, it was only mentioned sparingly, with no substantive discussion between the candidates on immigration policy.
How realistic is Donald Trump's Mexico wall?
Many Republicans might have hoped Mr Trump would raise the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi in Libya while Mrs Clinton was secretary of state.
He has previously said that Ambassador Chris Stevens was "left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed".
Mrs Clinton has said she takes responsibility for the attack. An 800-page report from House Republicans earlier this year found no evidence of wrongdoing on her part.
The only reference to Benghazi during the debate, oddly enough, came from Mrs Clinton. She defended her stamina by mentioning the 11 hours she spent testifying in front of a congressional committee about the incident.
Mr Trump later complained on Twitter that moderator Lester Holt had failed to raise it, though he could have done so himself.
US military 'failed Americans in Benghazi'
Controversy around the Clinton Foundation has been a source of discomfort for Hillary Clinton's campaign and a springboard for Donald Trump to accuse her of corruption while secretary of state.
Mr Holt did not question her on it during the debate and Mr Trump did not raise it.
This was another issue the Republican candidate criticised Mr Holt for failing to bring up.
But the moderator did not ask Mr Trump about his own foundation's controversies or alleged fraud by Trump University.
Why is Clinton's foundation so controversial?
What's the deal with the Trump Foundation?
There is also a 160-seat theatre named after actor Richard Burton, along with studio, teaching, rehearsal and foyer spaces.
The concert hall is named after Dora Stoutzker, a major donor's mother who used to teach music in south Wales.
A gala opening is due to take place later this month.
College principal Hilary Boulding said: "Offering world class facilities in such a stunning location will allow us to continue to attract leading international arts practitioners to work here, and to increase national and international recognition for Cardiff as a home of world class artistic training.
"They will also significantly enhance opportunities for audiences in the city and region of Cardiff, and for the many professional and community groups that contribute to Cardiff's vibrant cultural life."
The college, which opened in the grounds of Cardiff Castle in 1949, hosts more than 300 public events a year including theatre, opera, musicals and orchestral concerts and fashion shows.
Celebrated former students include actors and entertainers including Sir Anthony Hopkins, Rob Brydon and Ruth Jones.
The construction firm behind the project, Willmott Dixon, has now completed the work and handed it over to the college.
"These high-profile facilities will attract attention from across the world so it was important for the college that the development was striking, effective and able to provide the perfect acoustic environment for the many performances that it presents annually," said Neal Stephens, managing director of Willmott Dixon.
"It will not only attract students from across the world but will be a popular visitor destination, further enhancing Cardiff's offering."
The Dora Stoutzker concert hall was named after the musical mother of Ian Stoutzker, a merchant banker who has donated £500,000.
Born in 1897, Dora Cohen spent her first 25 years in Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent, where she taught piano and singing until she married and left for London.
Mr Stoutzker was evacuated to his mother's birthplace when the family home was bombed during World War II.
The vehicle crashed into a set of lights on High Street, Gorseinon, just after 16:15 GMT on Friday which then fell on a pedestrian.
The road was closed following the crash while South Wales Police carried out an investigation at the scene.
The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) sent a message saying their email addresses, usernames and passwords had been "compromised".
The incident has been reported to police and the UK's data watchdog.
The NCT stressed no other information had been accessed.
A spokesman confirmed 15,085 users were affected and said: "NCT has suffered a data breach which, regrettably, has caused some users of our website to have their registration details compromised.
'Change passwords'
"These details are limited to their email address, username and an encrypted version of the password that they created to register on the site.
"We stress that no financial or personal details are held as part of this data so no financial or personal details have been accessed.
"We discovered the breach (on Wednesday), upon which we contacted everyone affected advising them of the breach and suggesting that they change their username and passwords."
The charity, based in London's Euston Square, supports hundreds of thousands of new and expectant parents.
In the email to parents chief executive Nick Wilkie said: "While your password is encrypted, as a precaution, I would advise you to change any password as soon as possible for other accounts or registrations that use these details.
"We discovered the breach today, are reporting the matter to the police and Information Commissioner and contacting all who are affected immediately."
The actor made it through 60 seconds without repetition, hesitation or deviation.
Tennant managed to talk about Shakespeare's stage direction "Exit, Pursued by a Bear", without once being interrupted.
It is the first time in nearly 50 years of the show that a contestant has made such a fluent debut.
The Doctor Who and Broadchurch star was asked to go on the show by host Nicholas Parsons, who thought his "natural delivery" would be ideal for the show.
After hearing Tennant's effort, Parsons congratulated him, saying: "A newcomer, coming on in this very difficult game, we make it sound easy for the listeners. And it is very difficult.
"Well done… I think you can relax now David."
Unfazed by his triumph, the actor joked: "Can I leave now before I ruin my record?"
The episode, broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 9 February, saw him join Stephen Fry, Julian Clary and Paul Merton for the Just a Minute challenge.
The long-running quiz show, which began in 1967, sees contestants challenged to speak for one minute "without repetition, hesitation or deviation".
A spokesman for Radio 4 said the Just a Minute team could not recall any other example of a newcomer making it through a full minute on their first attempt, saying it was "very possibly" the only time it had happened.
Divers had searched the flooded river after two bags containing the belongings of Terence Kilbride, 48, were washed up.
Police Scotland said: "The public are thanked for their assistance in tracing him.
"We received an overwhelming response from the public, which was greatly appreciated."
Mr Kilbride, who is originally from Warrington in Cheshire, was traced in Aberdeen.
The BBC has learned that Platini - after receiving indications of support from four continental confederations - will be a candidate when polling takes place on 26 February.
The 60-year-old former France and Juventus midfielder could declare as early as Wednesday.
Switzerland's Sepp Blatter, 79, has been in charge of Fifa since 1998.
Media playback is not supported on this device
He is standing down as a result of a corruption crisis at world football's governing body.
Platini is the overwhelming favourite to replace him.
As well as the backing of his own European confederation, he is understood to have gained support from:
If every football association within those confederations voted for Platini, he would secure 144 votes, which is more than enough for him to be elected as Blatter's successor.
That is unlikely to happen, however, given some football associations will back rival candidates or abstain.
Nevertheless, Platini is still expected to poll a significant number of votes.
The election will be held in Zurich at an emergency congress attended by the Fifa member associations.
Candidates have until 26 October to be nominated.
As a player, Platini won three Ballon d'Or titles in the mid 1980s as well as a European Cup, Cup Winners' Cup and Super Cup with Juventus.
The former Nancy and Saint-Etienne midfielder, who became famous for his ability to score from free-kicks, also won league titles in France and Italy.
He also helped France to European Championship success in 1984 and third place at the 1986 World Cup.
Platini was elected Uefa president for a third term in March, when he stood unopposed.
He marked his re-election by:
Under his presidency, Uefa has seen a number of major developments.
Next year's European Championship will feature more teams than ever, up from 16 to 24. Then in 2020, the tournament will be staged in 13 cities across as many countries.
In club football, the Champions League has grown in popularity, with British broadcaster BT Sport agreeing to pay £900m for exclusive live rights to European football's top club competition from 2015-16.
However, Platini has faced criticism, largely over his support for Qatar's staging of the Fifa World Cup in 2022.
The local authority is to meet the charity Blythswood to look at what help could be offered to people fleeing conflict in Syria.
Council leader Margaret Davidson said that, at the same time, professionals could be sought among the refugees.
The Highlands has been struggling to recruit GPs and consultants.
Caithness General Hospital in Wick needs eight consultants, an annual review of NHS Highland's performance heard on Monday.
NHS Highland has also been running adverts in Holland to find doctors to fill vacancies at GP practices.
Ms Davidson told BBC Alba: "There are professionals on those trains trying to get to Germany from Hungary, and professionals stuck in refugee camps around the world.
"There are all sorts of barriers to bringing in some of these professionals.
"There is no reason why we cannot be doing what we can to help the refugees out there and also, at the same time, matching them to some of our skills vacancies."
The UK will accept up to 20,000 refugees from Syria over the next five years, David Cameron told MPs on Monday.
The prime minister said the UK had a "moral responsibility" to those living in camps bordering Syria while doing all it can to end the conflict there.
Vulnerable children and orphans would be prioritised in what would be a "national effort", Mr Cameron said.
Last week, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland "stands ready to offer sanctuary" to refugees.
Ms Sturgeon said Scotland should accept 1,000 refugees "as a starting point for a meaningful discussion".
She was speaking at a summit aimed at examining what Scotland can do to help ease the international refugee crisis.
The unnamed 35 year old was discovered on the car park of the BP station on Butts Road in Earlsdon, Coventry, at 01:50 BST on Sunday.
The man, from the city, was taken to hospital but died on Monday afternoon, police said.
Earlier, a 21-year-old Coventry man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a 23-year-old woman detained on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Det Insp Justin Spanner, from West Midlands Police, said: "Sadly we are now looking at a murder investigation and I would ask anyone with information to contact us as soon as possible.
"Our thoughts remain with the man's family as they come to terms with their loss."
The family is being supported by specialist officers, the force says.
Amedy Coulibaly killed four hostages at the Hyper Cacher supermarket before he was shot dead by security forces.
He had pledged loyalty to Islamic State militants and had links to two men who attacked the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in January, killing 12 people.
The reopening of the kosher supermarket was praised as a sign of resilience.
"This foodstore reopens bravely to show that life is stronger than everything," French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said, as he attended the reopening.
Meanwhile, the families of the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack are to receive proceeds from the sale of original artwork for an Asterix cartoon.
The 1971 storyboard was sold for €150,000 (£106,782) by auction house Christie's, in Paris.
The supermarket at Porte de Vincennes has been fully renovated since the 9 January siege.
New workers have been hired, covering for staff who were on duty at the time of the attack and are still on extended leave.
The attacks in January triggered fears of further unrest in France, which has Europe's largest Jewish and Muslim communities.
The supermarket, like other Jewish sites in France, is now under constant police guard.
Coulibaly shot dead four Jewish men at the supermarket before security forces stormed the building, killing him and freeing the remaining hostages.
The previous day, he had shot dead a policewoman in Paris.
The gunman had a criminal record and is believed to have met Cherif Kouachi, one of the Charlie Hebdo attackers, while in prison.
Kouachi and his brother shot dead 10 journalists and two police officers in an attack on the offices of the satirical magazine in Paris.
The militants were killed at the end of a police manhunt.
US PGA champion Day struggled on the greens but his two-under 70 moved him to 15 under in Orlando.
Americans Kevin Chappell and playing partner Troy Merritt hit the best scores of the day with 67s to be joint second with Denmark's Henrik Stenson.
Rose is two strokes further back after a one-under 71 in wet conditions.
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy continued to struggle and shot a three-over 75 to trail the leader by 16 shots, as tee-times were moved forward to avoid thunderstorms that were forecast for the afternoon.
Day started sluggishly with a bogey at the second, but posted three birdies before the turn and dealt well with the worst of the weather coming home, cancelling out a bogey on the 11th with a super putt at the 16th.
The 28-year-old told Sky Sports: "It was a tough old day with a lot of rain, the wind changing direction and temperature changes. It cost me shots, but, for the most part, I'm very pleased.
"I think the weather will be similar tomorrow, so it will be another day of grinding it out and being as patient as possible."
Rose will feel relieved that he is still in contention going into the final round after a round in which his putter frequently let him down. In particular he was left to rue a short par putt at the 17th that slid past the rim.
McIlroy continues his wait for a first victory in 2016 as he struggled to a three-over 75 to trail the leader by 16 shots.
After starting from the 10th due to an early two-tee start in anticipation of the bad weather, the world number two made birdies on the 11th and 16th to reach four under par.
However, McIlroy's approach to the 18th then landed in the rocks on the edge of a water hazard and led to a double-bogey six, which was soon followed by another on the third, where he found water off the tee and with his attempted recovery.
England's Paul Casey finished with back-to-back bogeys for a third-round 72 to remain in the hunt for a top-10 finish.
Commenting on his round, the world number 26 said: "Frustrated but happy at the same time."
A group of men attacked two houses and threatened residents at Mountcollyer Avenue in what police have described as a racially motivated hate crime.
Windows in two of the houses were smashed with bricks on Monday night and one man was reported to have been carrying a pick axe.
The woman said she did not feel safe.
"I noticed two guys running with axes like mad, threatening people in the middle of the street," she added.
"It is very upsetting - you just don't feel safe anymore. I'm looking for a way to move out of this area.
"I absolutely would not want to move, but for my family to feel secure there are things you have to do sometimes."
Tim Sexton, from the Attenborough Nature Reserve, has recorded 203 species since January, 33 of which have never been found at the site before.
The park, established in 1966 from gravel extraction pits, has attracted rare birds including the bittern.
Mr Sexton said the challenge means looking for the least "sexy" organisms.
About 2,650 species have been recorded at the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust reserve over the past 50 years, including many waterfowl, invertebrates, mammals like badgers, bats, and foxes.
However, these surveys were performed by hundreds of experts which makes the challenge for one person, in just one year, all the more difficult.
"It felt like a good idea at the time," Mr Sexton said.
"[But] ultimately, I'm hoping to record far beyond that total [of 1,000].
"One thing that has always fascinated me is that on a site as well studied as Attenborough, you can still make new discoveries."
The wildlife expert said he has spent a lot of time surveying invertebrates under log piles and has found 11 new species of millipede and centipede for the reserve.
"They are not as sexy as butterflies and dragonflies but they have historically been overlooked," he said.
However, with creatures so small it has been a challenge to identify them.
"You need to look a little closer and you can only be 100% of the identification by looking at the genitalia, not much bigger than a speck of dust."
Mr Sexton said only one person has attempted the challenge solely before, recording 755 organisms, in 2011.
He is hoping to go much further than that number by the end of 2015.
A wounded 25-year-old was found by police in Sunnyside Road, Islington just before 21:00 BST on Saturday following reports of gunshots.
He was taken to an east London hospital where he died at about midnight.
No arrests have been made and a murder investigation has been launched by the Met Police. A post-mortem examination and formal identification will follow.
His next of kin has been informed.
Neil Gorsuch also told his Senate confirmation hearing that no-one had asked him to make any promises on how he would rule.
He said he would have "walked out" if Mr Trump had asked him to overturn the landmark Roe v Wade abortion ruling.
But he said it would be wrong to say how he would rule on any given case.
That would be the "beginning of the end" of an independent judiciary, he said.
Mr Gorsuch, nominated for the seat vacated by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia 13 months ago, is facing two days of intense grilling in the Senate Judicial Committee.
The first question on Tuesday, from chairman Chuck Grassley, asked if he would have "any trouble ruling against a president who appointed you".
Mr Gorsuch said: "I have no difficulty ruling against, or for, any party, other than based on what the law and facts in the particular case require.
"There's no such thing as a Republican judge or a Democratic judge. We just have judges in this country."
Insisting on the separation of powers between the judiciary and the legislature, he said: "Judges would make pretty rotten legislators - we are life tenured, you can't get rid of us, it would be a pretty poor way to run a democracy."
He was later asked directly if he was a surrogate for President Trump and replied: "No."
Mr Gorsuch said on several occasions "no-one is above the law", including when asked whether Mr Trump could be prosecuted if he reinstated illegal interrogation techniques such as the now-banned water-boarding. Mr Trump has in the past backed the process and vowed during his election campaign to "bring back a hell of a lot worse".
Ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein asked whether the landmark 1973 ruling Roe v Wade, which legalised abortion, should be protected as a "super precedent" - a ruling so ingrained in law it is hard to overturn.
Mr Gorsuch acknowledged the case was a reaffirmed precedent, but added: "I'm not in a position to tell you whether I personally like or dislike a precedent. That's not relevant to my job."
Mr Gorsuch, currently a judge on the Denver-based 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals, told Senator Lindsey Graham that he had not met Mr Trump before his interview for the post.
Mr Graham asked if Mr Trump had called on him in the interview to overturn Roe v Wade. Mr Gorsuch said "No", and that if he had done so, "I would have walked out of the door."
Mr Gorsuch gave little away and sidestepped any contentious statements, even dodging a question on whether cameras should be allowed in the Supreme Court.
At one point, under withering questioning from Sheldon Whitehouse, his sure-footedness flagged and he admitted: "There's a lot about the confirmation process today I regret... I regret putting my family through this."
It remains unclear whether Democrats will try to block Mr Gorsuch's confirmation.
If they do, their options are limited.
Republicans control the Senate and they can change the chamber's rules to make it easier to confirm Mr Gorsuch if any attempt is made to block him.
Majority leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday that the full Senate would vote on Judge Gorsuch before Congress left for recess on 7 April.
The move comes despite concerns over the project's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and the threat to an important salmon habitat.
The terminal, which will cost CA$11.4bn ($8.6bn/£6.6bn), will be built on British Columbia's northern coast.
It is one of the largest resource development initiatives in the country.
The federal government said it was granting permission to the Pacific Northwest LNG project to be built on Lelu Island, which sits at the mouth of the Skeena river near Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
The project will see the construction of a natural gas liquefaction and export terminal in Canada's westernmost province.
At a news conference on Tuesday, federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said the project was approved following a rigorous review and comes with numerous conditions to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
Petronas, the Malaysian oil and gas company leading the project, estimates it would contribute CA$2.9 billion annually to the country's GDP.
The project, which has taken nearly three years to receive regulatory approval, is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's first major energy decision since he was elected just under a year ago.
The natural resources file is a difficult one for Mr Trudeau, who was elected on a pro-environment platform and a promise to tackle climate change.
Karen Mahon, with environmental group Stand.Earth, said in a statement on Tuesday that "the government cannot make decisions like this while honouring their promises on climate change".
Petronas and the project's other shareholders will look at the final report and its conditions, as well as the overall LNG market outlook, before making a final decision.
A global supply glut of liquefied natural gas has driven down prices and investment in fledgling LNG projects in North America.

Players use pixelated blocks to create detailed buildings and worlds as well as battling giant spiders and skeletons.
Minecraft became so popular techno giant Microsoft bought it from its original creators last year for £1.5 billion.
As of 2014, Minecraft has sold more than 54 million copies for computers, consoles, and mobile devices.
We have been asking you why you think it is so popular.
It is the showpiece of the oil- and gas-rich nation's efforts to turn its financial largesse into outsized global influence and visibility, a two-decades long effort that includes its successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup.
But there are growing fears that the current diplomatic crisis in Qatar could place the high-profile network's future in jeopardy.
Al Jazeera's broadcasting has caused controversy and drawn anger in various Arab states, not least in Egypt after the fall of Hosni Mubarak during the Arab Spring and the subsequent ousting of the elected president, Mohammed Morsi - a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It has already been caught up in the current crisis, with its website blocked by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Bahrain in late May.
Those nations all severed ties with Qatar on 5 June, accusing the country of supporting extremism. Saudi Arabia has closed Al Jazeera's offices and withdrawn its broadcast licence, saying it promotes terrorist "plots", supports Houthi militias that Saudi Arabia is fighting in Yemen, and has attempted to "break the Saudi internal ranks".
Al Jazeera has long defended its editorial independence and says it is objective.
Qatar crisis: What's it about?
Qatar travel: What does it mean for me?
Qatar now finds itself isolated and vulnerable. It denies backing terrorist groups but will be pressed for concessions in order to resolve the tense situation, which left its international airport, a key hub, virtually deserted, and residents stocking up on food supplies.
BBC Arabic's Feras Kilani, in Doha, says sources tell him that media reforms will be a key condition placed on Qatar. Al Jazeera might not be closed but its editorial policies will have to change, he says, while the newer Qatari Al-Araby TV network, based in London, could be shuttered.
"For many years Al Jazeera has been a bone of contention for the Gulf states and Egypt, even before its heyday of rolling news coverage during the Arab Spring," writes the Emirati commentator Sultan Sooud al-Qassemi.
He points out that in 2002, Saudi Arabia was angered over coverage of its peace plan for the Israel-Palestinian conflict and recalled its ambassador from Qatar as a result. An ambassador was only sent back in 2008.
In 2014, Qatar promised to stop "interfering" in its Gulf neighbours' domestic politics to resolve another diplomatic spat that saw Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain withdraw their ambassadors
This time around, Qatar's neighbours in the Gulf "will demand the complete shuttering of the Al-Jazeera TV network before any mediation can take place", Mr Qassemi predicts.
That would have major consequences for the country's media ambitions, and for the network's 3,000-plus staff in Doha and around the world.
The BBC has contacted Al Jazeera for comment.
Muslim Brotherhood: From rapid rise to sharp decline
Should Trump take a bow for Qatar row?
Qatar finds itself in a delicate position, says H A Hellyer, a senior non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council.
It is perceived as a "loose cannon" over its coverage of the Muslim Brotherhood, he says, and its relationship with Saudi Arabia's chief rival for regional influence, Iran.
US President Donald Trump, a key ally, has meanwhile praised Qatar's isolation.
The country has little wiggle room, and any deal to bring Qatar's foreign policy closer in line with Saudi Arabia's will probably involve changes to its influential media networks - including Al Jazeera - and possibly the end of Al-Araby Al Jadeed (The New Arab), an outlet part of the same company as Al-Araby, Mr Hellyer writes.
David Roberts, a Qatar expert at King's College London, agrees that Al Jazeera will probably be on the Gulf countries and Egypt's "shopping list" of concessions they want from Qatar.
"But this is a negotiation and there is no certainty that Qatar would capitulate on this point," he told the BBC.
He says that Al Jazeera Arabic, although it has toned down its coverage, "is still prickly towards Egypt in particular".
But the channel did stop "going after" Saudi Arabia close to a decade ago - around the time the ambassador was returned.
It has been reported that in late 2007, Qatar's government assured Saudi Arabia that its coverage of the kingdom would be mellowed as it moved to reset relations as Iran's nuclear ambitions grew.
"Orders were given not to tackle any Saudi issue without referring to the higher management," a newsroom employee told the New York Times. "All dissident voices disappeared from our screens."
Others aren't convinced that the end of Al Jazeera will be a specific demand made of Qatar, but agree its foreign policy will undoubtedly have to change if it wants to bring an end to its current isolation.
This means changes to the tone and coverage of government-funded media networks like Al Jazeera would follow, says Professor Noha Mellor, a pan-Arab media expert at the University of Bedfordshire.
"They might just tone down their media discourse in line with their foreign policy, because [Qatar's] foreign policy will have to tone down, in style and ambition."
Al Jazeera's Arabic channel was strongly supportive of the 2011 Arab uprisings and it has veered towards an overtly pro-Islamist line amid the upheavals that have engulfed the region since.
With that shift, the channel has come to be perceived as a pillar of Qatar's foreign policy and a reflection of its ambitions in a changing Arab world.
Al Jazeera was at the forefront of tensions that strained relations between Egypt and Qatar after the toppling of Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
In Syria and Iraq, Al Jazeera's coverage of the so-called Islamic State (IS) militant group has differed from other outlets.
In referring to the group, Al Jazeera uses the expression "the state organisation", which is not very far removed from what IS calls itself, as opposed to the pejorative Arabic acronym "Daesh" used by Saudi media, including Al Jazeera competitor Al-Arabiya.
In 2015, Al Jazeera used the positive term "Sunni revolutionaries" to refer to Sunni fighters, including IS militants, who took control of Iraq's key city of Mosul.
It said in a letter to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority that the planned rise was "not appropriate".
Ipsa has said unless there is "new and compelling evidence," MPs' pay will rise by 10%, from £67,060 to £74,000.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said PM David Cameron was under pressure after many opposition MPs said they would give the money to charity.
Labour's leadership hopefuls Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall have said they will reject the extra money and Labour leader Harriet Harman is thought likely to do so, our correspondent said.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, SNP leader Angus Robertson and Lib Dem leadership hopeful Tim Farron have all said they will give the money to charity.
International Development Secretary Justine Greening said MPs needed to "sort out what is happening" with Ipsa, saying the body is not working.
The letter sent to Ipsa chairman Sir Ian Kennedy by Commons Leader Chris Grayling pointed out that the government had provided a "comprehensive response" to the watchdog's initial consultation on the issue two years ago.
"The government opposed the suggestion that there should be a pay rise of this nature at that time, and the view of the government remains that a pay rise of this nature at this time is not appropriate," it said.
Downing Street had previously indicated that although the prime minister was opposed to the rise, he would accept it.
Appearing on the BBC's Question Time, Ms Greening said the proposed pay rise could not be justified and that she was "incredibly frustrated" and "fed up" with Ipsa.
"Personally I think that we do need to sort out what is happening with Ipsa because how anyone can think that this kind of proposal is acceptable is utterly beyond me."
Education Secretary Mrs Morgan told the BBC is was not the "right time" for a pay rise and said: "I think MPs are going to make it very clear that they don't think this is the right thing to do."
Labour frontbencher Gloria De Piero said the rise proposed by Ipsa was "immoral" and called for the body to give MPs the opportunity not to take the cash.
She said she would give it to charity.
Ipsa's chief executive Marcial Boo said: "Clearly everybody is entitled to their view, but overall MPs are not going to be benefiting any more than they were before because the adjustment to their salary is compensated for by the cuts to their pension and the allowances."
He told the BBC: "MPs, like all of us, are very welcome to choose to give their money to charity when they receive their salary."
Singer Charlotte Church waded in to the debate over MPs' pay, saying the planned 10% rise is "ridiculous".
She questioned in what other industry would salaries be hiked by so much and suggested MPs should "put it back in guys, you'll be alright".
Ipsa was handed control of decisions over MPs' pay and expenses in the wake of the 2009 expenses scandal. It does not need to get the agreement of Parliament to bring in the changes.
Mr Cameron has previously urged Ipsa to scrap the above-inflation increase, which was initially proposed to address complaints that pay had fallen behind the rest of the public sector.
But as it launched its final review of the proposals, Ipsa restated its intention to press ahead with the increase, and said there appeared to be no "material" reason to change the recommendations.

The illness prompted his engagement to his partner of 23 years, Nicola Formby, with whom he has two children.
Doctors found he had cancer, which has spread from his lungs to other parts of his body, after he went for an X-ray when people noticed he had lost weight.
Gill, 62, who is having chemotherapy, said he does not "feel cheated" and has been "very lucky" in his life.
The columnist, who is restaurant and TV critic for the Sunday Times, told the paper: "I've got an embarrassment of cancer, the full English.
"There is barely a morsel of offal not included. I have a trucker's gut-buster, gimpy, malevolent, meaty malignancy."
In an interview with the newspaper, he said he was prompted to visit the doctor after people noticed he had lost weight during a family holiday over the summer.
He also found it a struggle to complete his usual climb while stalking in Scotland and was suffering from a pain in his neck.
Doctors found he had a smoking-related cancer which had spread from his lungs - despite him giving up smoking 15 years ago.
The illness has meant he is unable to ride a bike because one tumour affects his balance and he has been banned from flying because he cannot risk infections.
Gill told readers of his column he was revealing his diagnosis because chemotherapy can alter the way things taste, adding: "If ever things start tasting like licked battery terminals, I'll tell you."
The writer, who was previously married to Home Secretary Amber Rudd and with whom he has two grown-up children, said he was "surprisingly excited" to be getting married again to Ms Formby.
He often refers to his partner as "The Blonde" in his restaurant reviews.
Gill told the Sunday Times he felt like he was given a "Willy Wonka golden ticket" to life after giving up drinking when he was 30 due to alcoholism.
"I realise I don't have a bucket list; I don't feel I've been cheated of anything," he said.
"I'd like to have gone to Timbuktu, and there are places I will be sorry not to see again.
"But actually, because of the nature of my life and the nature of what happened to me in my early life - my addiction, I know I have been very lucky."
Gill said he had visited a private doctor and paid for his own X-rays, but wanted to go back into the NHS because of the "connection it brings".
He told the newspaper: "My father would say he didn't want to die in the trench, and I don't want to die in a trench in Harley Street." | A private collection of Egyptian artefacts, dating from 3,000 BC to 200 AD, is to be exhibited in Merseyside for the first time in 40 years.

His comments came after news emerged that the wife of one Australian Islamic State (IS) militant wanted to return home with their children.
But Mr Dutton said such decisions would be made on a case-by-case basis.
Proposals announced on Tuesday could see some Australians lose citizenship for supporting terror groups.
Local media have reported that the wife and children of Australian IS fighter Khaled Sharrouf are trying to return to Australia.
The family of Sharrouf's wife, Tara Nettleton, is trying to help her and the couple's five children return to Sydney, Fairfax Media reported on Wednesday.
Among them is a young son believed to be the boy photographed last year holding the severed head of a Syrian.
Asked on Wednesday about news of their return, Mr Dutton said the childrens' mother, Tara Nettleton, could also be charged with terrorist offences.
He said the treatment of the children of returning suspects would depend on the circumstances and the ages of the children.
"If they're infants, for example, then they would be in state care, as we've seen with some people who have decided to abandon their children and go off and fight," he said.
"So those arrangements would operate as they would with any family where parents have abandoned their children or not acting in the best interests of their children."
Sharrouf was jailed in 2009 for four years for being part of a cell planning attacks in Sydney and Melbourne.
After his release he was banned from leaving the country but used his brother's passport to travel to Syria with his family.
Ms Nettleton's father, Peter Nettleton, told local media on Wednesday that he had not seen his daughter for 10 years and had only met two of his five grandchildren.
"I still love my daughter and I hope she comes home safely," Mr Nettleton said in a brief statement made from outside of his home in southern Sydney.
Ms Nettleton's mother, Karen, is reportedly trying to help her daughter and grandchildren return to Australia.
According to the government, at least 100 Australians are fighting with terror groups in the Middle East, and as many as half of them have dual citizenship.

The ex-UK foreign secretary and former Deputy PM Nick Clegg are among those barred from entering the country.
The EU has imposed sanctions on Russia over the crisis in Ukraine.
"It shows we are making an impact because they wouldn't have reacted unless they felt very sore at what had happened," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Once sanctions were extended, it's had a major impact on the Russian economy."
The EU, which initially imposed the sanctions after Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in March 2014 and has subsequently extended them, has called the ban "totally arbitrary and unjustified" and said no explanation had been provided.
A Russian foreign ministry official would not confirm the names of those banned but did say that the ban was result of the European Union's sanctions against the country.
British intelligence and military chiefs, including MI5 director general Andrew Parker, former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers and chief of the defence staff General Sir Nicholas Houghton are reportedly also on the list.
Sir Malcolm said: "This has happened at a time when the oil price has collapsed and therefore a main source of revenue for Mr Putin has disappeared.
"That's pretty important when it comes to his attempts to build up his military might and to force his neighbours to do what they're told.
"I understand that they would like the sanctions removed, I want them removed and want to see good relations with Russia.
"It's very important that Russia, Britain and western Europe as a whole work amicably together but we can't ignore the fact that for the first time since the end of the Second World War, part of the borders of a European territory has been violated by a military attack and that is unacceptable."
Sir Malcolm, who was foreign secretary between 1995 and 1997 when Sir John Major was in Downing Street, added: "If there had to be such a ban I am rather proud to be on it - I'd be rather miffed if I wasn't.

A serious case review found Daniel Pelka, four, was "invisible" at times and "no professional tried sufficiently hard enough" to talk to him.
He was starved and beaten for months before he died in March 2012, at his Coventry home.
The review said "critical lessons" must be "translated into action".
Magdelena Luczak, 27, and Mariusz Krezolek, 34, were told they must serve at least 30 years in jail, after being found guilty of murder at Birmingham Crown Court in July.
The court heard Daniel saw a doctor in hospital for a broken arm, arrived at school with bruises and facial injuries, and was seen scavenging for food.
A teaching assistant described him as a "bag of bones" and the trial heard he was "wasting away". At the time of his death the schoolboy weighed just over a stone-and-a-half (10kg).
By Mark EastonHome editor
Those professionals with a responsibility to keep Daniel Pelka safe are said to have fallen victim to that same "professional optimism".
Today's review talks of their naivety, of how the manipulation and deceit of Daniel's mother "were not recognised for what they were and her presenting image was too readily accepted".
"The 'rule of optimism' appeared to have prevailed," the review concludes.
Much of the detail that emerged in the trial about the level of abuse Daniel suffered was "completely unknown" to the professionals involved, the review found.
No-one has been disciplined as a direct result of Daniel's death.
The report by Ron Lock did not blame or identify any individual agency but he said the professionals involved were "too optimistic" about what they saw.
"Workload was a potential issue - child protection is a very complex matter - and perhaps when they felt reassured they moved on to the next case," Mr Lock told BBC News.
"But they need to be stronger and have a much more inquiring mind. They needed to act on what was in front of them."
The review's key findings include:
In March 2008, when Daniel was eight months old, he was treated for a minor head wound. In January 2011, when he was three-and-a-half, he was taken to A&E with a fractured arm.
Analysis: Do serious case reviews actually work?
Reaction: 'Disheartening, disappointing and worrying'
Video: Pelka case 'beyond comprehension'
Graphic: The catalogue of injuries suffered by Daniel
Why were teachers' concerns for Daniel not acted upon?
A schoolboy 'missed but not forgotten'
The review said the hospital "rightly raised immediate concerns about the [fractured arm]" and a meeting was held to decide if it was caused by a fall from a settee, as Daniel's mother claimed, or was the result of abuse.
The meeting decided Luczak's explanation was "plausible".
But the review said the reasons for other bruises found on Daniel at the time, which his mother claimed came from bicycle accidents, were not "fully explored".
The Children and Families Minister Edward Timpson said the report made "shocking reading" and "laid bare" the lack of intervention by professionals.
Mr Timpson said he had written to the Coventry Safeguarding Children Board asking for a clearer analysis as to why the mistakes occurred.
Amy Weir, the board's chair, said she found the report "disheartening, disappointing and generally worrying".
Ms Weir said the idea of Daniel being "invisible" was "at the heart of this case".
"I think for Daniel there's something which we've never fully been able to get to grips with," she said.
"The issue about Daniel mainly being Polish speaking" should have been overcome and there were "significant issues" about his mother and her ability to try to "hoodwink the professionals", she added.
Assistant Chief Constable Garry Forsyth, of West Midlands Police, said: "We accept that Daniel was not 'given a voice'."
He said the report "raised the lack of consistency" in officers dealing with separate domestic abuse reports and the force needed "a more holistic approach".
The report said that due to such inconsistency, Daniel's lack of language and low confidence was not picked up and would have made it "almost impossible for him to reveal the abuse he was suffering".
"Overall, the 'rule of optimism' appeared to have prevailed," it said.
The review said Daniel could have been offered greater protection if the professionals involved had applied a "much more enquiring mind".
It also identified school staff did not link Daniel's physical injuries with their concerns about his apparent obsession with food, which his mother claimed was caused by a medical condition.
Gill Mulhall, Daniel's head teacher at Little Heath Primary in Coventry, said: "His mother was a convincing manipulator.
"If we were aware of the bigger picture of his life or had doubts about her, we would of course have acted differently.
"We want to see changes where schools are aware of concerns from other agencies which affect our pupils."
Sharon Binyon, medical director of the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust, believes the service as a whole did not do enough.
"Coventry has one of the lowest numbers of health visitors per child in the country. That was recognised and we're working with NHS England," she said.
"Since the time of Daniel's death the number of health visitors has now doubled and we expect to see it trebled by 2015."
Peter Wanless, the NSPCC's chief executive officer, said ultimately Daniel's mother and her partner were responsible for his death but it was right to look at what could have been done differently.
"Processes were followed correctly much of the time but processes alone do not save children," he said.
Geoffrey Robinson, MP for Coventry North West, described Daniel Pelka's death as "a great disgrace" for the city and called on the council's chief executive, Martin Reeves, to consider his position.
Mr Reeves, said the city had "never faced such a tragic case" and staff needed to "learn quickly" from the review.
"The best legacy for Daniel is to make sure we move forward and I want to have a part to play in that future," he said.

Brown, Scotland boss from 1993-2001, suggested the current crop of players' lack of European experience made them unprepared for major tournaments.
"Craig is probably the Yoda of Scottish football," said Strachan, referencing the Star Wars character.
"I understand exactly what he is saying when you look at the squad."
Brown said the quality of player Strachan has to choose from has significantly diminished since he led Scotland to qualification for the 1998 World Cup in France, the national side's last appearance at a major tournament.
Strachan has named his squad for overseas matches against Italy (29 May) and France (4 June) - preparation for World Cup qualifiers later this year.
Unlike England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Wales, Scotland will not be going to Euro 2016.
"None are playing European football in there," said Strachan of his player pool.
"When you went back to Craig's day there was a lot playing [European football]. If you go back 10 years ago you find a lot playing European football. So that is where we are at the moment, so he has a valid point.
"But what I have got when I get this group together is a great bunch of lads and that is why we have to work as a team, and we have to put in more hours because we do not have the individuals that other international teams have got.
"[Zlatan] Ibrahimovic with Sweden - he makes them. [Wales' Gareth] Bale, although he is well backed up by some good players, and [Poland's Robert] Lewandowski. If we had one of them we would be going to the European Championships now."

Alongside the dazzling tries and mazy runs will come the potential for injury, and the man who has been picking up the pieces for England since 1997 is senior physiotherapist Phil Pask.
The former Northampton Saints player, who has toured with the British and Irish Lions three times, has spoken exclusively to BBC Inside Out along with fellow team physio Dan Lewindon about life in Stuart Lancaster's team and the issues facing physio departments today.
One of the main talking points in rugby union at the moment is how to deal with concussion and its effects, an issue put into focus by Wales wing George North needing a prolonged lay-off after suffering three in five months.
The England team had to deal with full-back Mike Brown's blow to the head against Italy in the Six Nations this year, and Pask says that since turning professional concussion has been high on the sport's agenda.
"I think we don't fully understand what concussion is, but we're learning more about it all the time. We're taking advice from all over the world to understand this better and I think we're all now more vigilant to any signs that we think could be a severe or major blow to the head or head injury.
"The ones that are difficult to deal with are the ones that you don't see. I watch every contact, I'm usually watching the game from five metres behind, but I will quite often miss big hits that happen on the far side of the ruck or a maul and it's not until later in the evening when I watch the video I think 'How did I miss that?'.
"It's the subtle symptoms that we're all being a bit more aware of now."
Every team of medics and physiotherapists will enter the field of play to treat a player at some point, effectively having a 'patient' to deal with while surrounded by 30 burly blokes running at each other.
And Lewindon, who was previously a physiotherapist at Northampton, says the medical team's training means they know exactly what to do in these highly-charged moments.
"Because we're well rehearsed and well trained it's quite simple to go to task with these things," he said. "The first thing we do is to ensure we are safe to approach a player, that we won't get clattered.
"You go into an immediate calm state, and your whole focus is on that player's welfare. It's making sure you make the right decisions for them and communicate with the coaches properly."
With an intense focus on the long-term effects of 20-stone frames bumping into each other, rugby has sometimes had to defend itself against its perceived brutality.
But Pask believes the increase in the physicality of players comes at a time of great advancements in the medical and physiotherapy world.
"The players are conditioned to what they do, so although they've got bigger, faster and stronger, so has the opposition," he explained. "It counterbalances it out.
"We do get some nasty injuries, but we're a lot more experienced dealing with them. Back in the day if you were amateur and got a significant injury you'd probably back away from the game.
"Now we recycle players from injuries that probably even 10 years ago we wouldn't have.
"It's testament to what goes on with the clubs' medical teams and also the understanding of coaches of when to back off and when to add more into training."
Pask continued: "You look at our game, why do we play it? It's gladiatorial, we like the impact.
"You come to Franklin's Gardens and it's fantastic to be that close and hear the crunches. You go to Twickenham and see these guys hitting each other so hard, getting up and playing on.
"That's what we love about the game - you can't take that away from the game or it wouldn't be the same.
"We safeguard as best we can for that by making sure the boys are robust, strong and resilient to injury.
"And I think we've got systems in place with our clubs and with England that probably protects them as best as they can. But it's a high collision, high velocity game and that's why we love it."
Pask first joined the England setup in 1997 for their tour to Argentina just as the game was in the early stages of professionalism.
At that time he was still combining his role with Northampton Saints and England, and the now full-time Rugby Football Union employee says one huge change in training techniques has been the use of technology.
"We used to work with (former British and Irish Lions coach) Ian McGeehan back in the day," he said.
"Ian knew the game inside out and I think he had a good grasp of what players needed in terms of how far they ran, how fast they ran, how many contacts they made - but it was all very intuitive.
"These days we have fantastic facilities where we can video every session we have. We have GPS units and accelerometers in the back of their shirts.
"From the video analysis we know exactly how many times you've dropped the ball or missed a tackle - it's taken a lot of the guesswork away."
To ensure that injured international players can get the best possible treatment, both club and country need to work together with their recovery.
England and Gloucester number eight Ben Morgan is a perfect example of this after being named in Lancaster's World Cup squad despite a seven-month lay-off this year with a broken ankle.
"I'm really lucky with the physios I've had access to," said Morgan. "Bob Stewart (at Gloucester) and Pasky are British and Irish Lions physios, so you can't get much better than that.
"They always keep in contact with each other so everyone knows what I'm up to and what rehab I'm doing, which makes it so easy when I am transferring between club and country."

Lara Gorman, who is now 25, said her relationship with her coach John Dargie should have been considered illegal.
The NSPCC wants coaches to fall under the law, which prohibits teachers, social workers and doctors from having sex with under 18s in their care.
Mr Dargie backed a law change and said he had not intended to cause harm.
Ms Gorman, from Stirlingshire, said she suffered mental health problems after the relationship ended when she was 18. Her coach was 33 when the relationship began.
"I lost a coach and a relationship," she said.
"It was hard, plus he was in a position of trust and he abused that, and he'd been training me since I was 13 years old, which makes it worse.
"I'm fine now and that's why I've decided to step out and say something, because I'm in a better place now."
A statement from the former Glasgow Triathlon head coach said he had been suffering with diagnosed mental health problems at the time.
"What happened in the past will always be with me and at no time was my intention to cause any grief or harm to anyone," Mr Dargie said.
"I firmly believe that had I have been of sound mental health at the time our relationship would never have come about.
"I also know that had the law been different at the time, the possibility of starting our relationship would not have entered my mind, and certainly would not have occurred."
He added: "I welcome all systems and policies that exist to protect individuals and I welcome and support the NSPCC's proposed changes to the law."
Joanna Barrett, of the children's charity NSPCC, said Ms Gorman's case highlighted a "loophole in the law".
She said: "We want youth workers and sport coaches to be held to the same standard as social workers, teachers and doctors - so that a relationship with an under 18 in their care is considered an offence.
"We want anyone undertaking regulated work, where they are required to get a disclosure check, to be considered to be in a position of trust."
Ms Gorman's mother, Wendy, said: "It's too late for Lara, but it shouldn't happen again.
"Coaches should act with integrity.
"They are significant people in the life of the young people they coach - and perhaps more so than teachers and social workers."
Mr Dargie is a Triathlon Scotland registered triathlon coach and was subject to a disciplinary hearing in 2010.
The organisation said that when the allegation was raised, an independent disciplinary panel carried out an investigation, resulting in him receiving a two-year suspension.
A spokeswoman said: "Following the investigation and outcome, Triathlon Scotland carried out a review of the disciplinary policy, and the outcome of the review confirmed that the policy was robust.
"Triathlon Scotland takes child protection concerns extremely seriously and continues to review policies and procedures to protect children. If any club welfare officer, member or individual has any concerns whatsoever, they can report concerns to Triathlon Scotland, in confidence, at any time.
"Triathlon Scotland welcomes a review to the laws regarding child protection and will support any changes that help to protect children and vulnerable adults in sport."
Ofsted found "a culture of fear and intimidation" had taken grip in schools at the centre of the so-called Trojan Horse allegations.
The inspections followed claims in an anonymous letter that hard-line Muslims were trying to impose their views on some of the city's schools.
Five have been placed in special measures, among them three academies from the Park View Educational Trust.
Mr Gove said the government would require all schools to "promote British values" and would back Ofsted's plan to introduce no-notice school inspections in England.
The chief inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, recommended:
In his speech to the House of Commons, Mr Gove said the need for action was "urgent".
"Academies will receive letters saying I am minded to terminate funding agreements," he told MPs.
If this goes ahead, it would mean that Park View Education Trust, which runs Park View and two primary schools, would no longer receive funding to run the schools.
The same will apply to Oldknow Academy.
A Department for Education spokesman said this would be the first time this had happened.
The DfE is awaiting a response from the trust and would have to find new sponsors for the three schools.
Mr Gove said the governors at local authority run Saltley School would be replaced.
The Department for Education said Birmingham City Council had already started the process of imposing an interim executive board at Saltley.
A sixth school, local authority run Alston Primary which has been in special measures since May, is already in the process of being turned into an academy "under a strong sponsor", said the DfE.
The prime minister defined British values as "freedom, tolerance, respect for the rule of law, belief in personal and social responsibility and respect for British institutions".
David Cameron said he hoped these values would be inculcated in any school in Britain "whether it was a private school, state school, faith-based school, free school, academy or anything else".
The Department for Education added: "We want to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs."
The Department for Education says the Independent School Standards, which apply to private schools, academies and free schools, already require schools to "respect" British values.
It plans to consult shortly on tighter wording that will require schools to actively "promote" British values.
From September the Ofsted framework will be changed to extend this requirement to all state schools, not just academies.
The DfE says it is working with Ofsted on how inspectors will assess the new requirement. Ofsted will also update its training and guidance of inspectors.
Advice to school governors and local authorities will also be updated to reflect the new requirement.
School governors will be expected to play a role "in setting and securing an appropriate ethos and monitoring practice" in schools, says the DfE.
The DfE will also update its advice to local authorities on intervening in schools causing concern.
Training for governors is currently optional. It can be provided by local authorities or by the National College of Teaching and Leadership. The Department for Education and the National Governors' Association (NGA) have both produced handbooks.
The NGA says training is essential to help governors understand their complex and challenging role and responsibilities.
Governors are expected to develop the ethos of the school, hold the head teacher to account and have financial oversight.
Governors should be committed to asking challenging questions, should develop good relationships based on trust and should know their school, its staff, pupils and local community.
The NGA says the academies programme has brought more autonomy to schools so governing boards have more responsibility than ever and need training.
"It is vital that governors know what is expected of them," it says.
The government says it will respond to Ofsted's recommendation on governor training "in due course".
THe DfE spokesman says training is the responsibility of governing bodies and they should "set an ethos of professionalism", including an expectation that governors undertake training "to fill any gaps" in skills needed for effective governance.
"If a governor fails persistently to do this, then they will be in breach of the code of conduct and may bring the governing body or the office of a governor into disrepute - and as such provide grounds for the governing body to consider suspension," said a spokesman.
Traditionally, local authorities have had a role in monitoring standards in the schools they control, acting as a "middle tier" between schools and the Department for Education.
Now more than half of secondary schools are academies, funded directly by central government, free of local authority control and able to decide their own curriculum.
Concerns have been expressed about the viability of Whitehall monitoring thousands of academies. The government is introducing regional schools commissioners and Head Teacher Boards to improve oversight of academies, while Labour proposes a network of regional school standards directors.
Academy chains, which control several schools, are currently inspected by the Department for Education. Sir Michael Wilshaw argues that Ofsted, which already inspects academy schools, should take over the role.
In March, an anonymous letter was made public that claimed to be a template illustrating how state schools could be taken over and pushed into adopting a more Islamic culture.
The document - now thought to be a hoax - proposed a campaign of installing governors and undermining and then replacing school leaders with staff who would be more sympathetic to their religious agenda.
It refers to "Operation Trojan Horse" as the name of the alleged conspiracy. This classical allusion refers to using a device to get past the defences and to take over the school system from within.
It was apparently intended for schools serving areas with a large Muslim population.
The tactics it proposed had already been used in Birmingham, the Operation Trojan Horse letter claimed.
It emerged that Birmingham City Council, the Department for Education's Extremist Unit, the West Midlands Police Counter-Terrorism Unit and the National Association of Head Teachers were already aware of the letter.
A former head teacher at a Birmingham school said that such religiously-motivated, concerted attempts at forcing out heads had been taking place since the 1990s. Another head teacher said he had told the DfE about the problem in 2010.
There have been claims that boys and girls are being taught separately, assemblies have put forward extremist Islamist views and that a culture is created in which other religions are downgraded. Schools have rejected claims of extremism.
There are also claims that teachers and head teachers have been discredited and undermined.
Michael Gove appointed former counter-terror chief, Peter Clarke, to investigate "the background behind many of the broader allegations in the Trojan Horse letter" for the DfE.
Mr Gove says he expects to publish these findings in July.
This appointment has created a controversy of its own, with the chief constable of West Midlands police calling it "desperately unfortunate" as people could draw "unwarranted conclusions" from Mr Clarke's former role in counter terrorism.
Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw took personal charge of the education watchdog's investigations.
Khalid Mahmood, MP for Perry Barr, believes there are reasons to be concerned. "All the information I'm getting... is there has been a serious bid to take over most of the schools in the east and south of the city," he said.
The National Association of Head Teachers says it takes the claims "extremely seriously".
Reaction to the claims and to Ofsted's findings from the schools has been robust. The chairman of one governing body described the inquiries as a "witch hunt" and Park View says it plans to challenge Ofsted's verdict.
Including Ofsted's, there are four investigations - carried out by Birmingham City Council, the DfE and the Education Funding Agency.
Ofsted said this was "new territory" - when it launched its biggest ever co-ordinated set of inspections over fears of extremism. It inspected 21 schools - a mix of primary, secondary, local authority and academies.
They carried out unannounced inspections of a type which focuses on a single concern, rather than the overall quality of teaching and learning.
When inspectors do not like what they find they have wide-ranging powers to intervene and order a change of direction.
The city council says that it is investigating 25 schools - prompted by more than 200 contacts from the public. An adviser has been appointed and there will be a review group of MPs, councillors, teachers' organisations, police and faith leaders.
There is a freeze on recruiting new school governors while this inquiry is taking place.
But the politics of education have also become involved, with the council saying it is frustrated that it cannot investigate academies which operate outside of local authority control.
The Education Funding Agency can investigate the financial arrangements of academies.
In a letter to the Education Secretary, Mrs May has raised concerns about the DfE's handling of the allegations of extremism.
She said concerns had been raised about the "inability" of local and central government to tackle the alleged problem in Birmingham's schools.
She also questioned whether Mr Gove's department was warned about the allegations in 2010 and asked: "If so, why did nobody act?"
The two senior Cabinet members have now moved to dampen down speculation of a rift. They have taken the unusual step of issuing a joint statement insisting they are "working together" on the issue.
Commentators are seeing the row as two Conservative heavy-weights jostling for position should there be any change to the party's leadership.
The biggest inquiry so far is the council's, which is looking at 25 schools in Birmingham, out of more than 400 in the city. The council says that it will also be talking to local authorities in Bradford and Manchester.
Sirte is the most significant IS stronghold outside Iraq and Syria.
Air and missile strikes have hit IS positions this week, officials said. A spokesman said troops were moving closer to the city centre.
The forces, aligned to the UN-backed unity government in Tripoli, began the battle to retake the city last month.
A spokesman, Ahmed Hadia, told the BBC IS forces had weakened, but "not totally broken down".
He said the troops were encircling part of the city.
Why is Libya so lawless?
Life in Libya under IS
Clashes centred on the Ougadougou conference centre, which was once a venue for international summits but has now become an IS command centre.
Forces loyal to the government targeted the conference centre with heavy artillery fire, backed by warplanes.
IS fighters responded using sniper fire, machine guns and mortar rounds.
The government said two soldiers were killed and eight were wounded.
The Misrata spokesman told the BBC that troops were finding fewer landmines or booby-trapped cars the deeper they moved into the city.
Mr Hadia said the car bombs they were finding were smaller than the ones they had used before, "which suggests they were hastily set up".
The troops' biggest fear, he added, was the presence of snipers and the possibility that civilians could be trapped in the battle zone.
Sirte was the hometown of ousted ruler Muammar Gadaffi.
The unity government was formed in Tripoli more than two months ago.
The US said the unity government should be allowed to arm itself against IS. Secretary of State John Kerry has said this would be "the only way to generate the cohesion necessary" to defeat the militants.
Officials in the capital are hoping that a victory in Sirte will narrow the political divide still plaguing the country.
The anti-IS forces fighting in Sirte are largely made up of militia brigades from Libya's third largest city, Misrata.
This operation started last month, initially only by the armed groups there which felt a growing threat when it appeared the extremist group was edging closer to their city.
But they are also allied to the UN-backed government in Tripoli, and are now believed to be jointly-commanded by figures appointed by the government from Libya's traditional army.
Although UK and US special forces are known to have been advising and possibly training forces there in recent months, it is not clear if this latest operation is getting any outside help.
Stephen Arap Soi, the country's chef de mission, is facing five charges related to the theft of 25.6m Kenyan shillings ($256,000, £197,000).
Two other top officials denied charges of stealing team uniforms provided by sponsor Nike.
Team Kenya, which won 13 medals at the Games, were dogged by allegations of mismanagement and corruption in Rio.
Mr Soi is accused of taking $234,000 on a flight from Kenya to Brazil on 20 July without declaring it to customs officials, according to Citizen TV.
Prosecutors say that money was not accounted for at the Olympics.
Mr Soi was charged with stealing the remainder in smaller amounts on separate occasions.
The National Olympic Committee of Kenya Vice-President Pius Ochieng and Secretary-General Francis Kinyili Paul also denied the charges levelled against them.
The next hearing is on 24 October.
Kenya won the most medals of any African country, but were beset by scandals, including athletes not receiving their Nike kits.
The East African nation ended with athletes being stranded in a Rio shanty town, while officials looked for a "cheap flight".
The government ordered an investigation into the alleged mismanagement on their return.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said they were thought to be members of a tribe that fought the jihadist group in Deir al-Zour province in the summer.
The mass grave was discovered after the tribe, the Sheitat were allowed to return home by IS leaders, it added.
Last month, the UN said it had received reports of a massacre there in August.
Investigators said it appeared to have been perpetrated by IS in a struggle for control of oil resources near the town of Mohassan.
One survivor described seeing "many heads hanging on walls while I and my family escaped", while locals saw several freshly-dug mass graves.
Video published online also indicated that IS fighters had conducted mass beheadings of fighting-age Sheitat tribesmen.
The footage shows men mocking the victims before they are executed and is even reported to include the killings of injured men who are believed to have been forced out of hospital before they were decapitated.
The killings were reported to have taken place after negotiations between the two sides broke down, with Sheitat tribal elders refusing to give their allegiance to IS.
In early November, IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi reportedly issued a statement granting members of the tribe permission to return to their homes upon the condition that they did not assemble. They were also told to surrender all weapons and inform on all "apostates" to the group.
All "traitors" would be killed, Baghdadi's statement warned.
On Wednesday, the Syrian Observatory reported that it had been informed by a trusted source that the 230 bodies had been found by returning members of the Sheitat in a mass grave in the desert near the village of Kashkiya, in eastern Deir al-Zour.
The UK-based group said the "vast majority" of the victims had been civilians and that many of them had been executed in cold blood.
The discovery brought the number of Sheitat tribespeople killed during the summer to more than 900, it added. Hundreds more are still missing.
A prominent opponent of successive leaders, he was due to head a transitional council under a deal for President Joseph Kabila to step down.
The 84-year-old died in Belgium where he went last week for medical checks.
The information minister said he would be given a state funeral.
Mr Tshisekedi returned to Kinshasa last July to a hero's welcome after two years in Brussels for medical treatment.
His death comes at a sensitive time for DR Congo and follows fierce clashes last year when it was announced that President Kabila would stay in power until April 2018.
BBC Afrique's Anne-Marie Dias Borges says Mr Tshisekedi was a hugely popular figure in Kinshasa and nicknamed the "Sphinx of Limete", because the mythological creature reflected his long career and many political guises. Limete is his home neighbourhood in the capital.
Mr Tshisekedi's death comes as the opposition and government were negotiating the departure of President Kabila after 16 years in power.
The unfinished talks still require the creation of a transitional government and agreement on election dates. Mr Tshisekedi had been expected to chair a transition oversight committee.
He was a brave proponent of democracy. For more than half a century, a vast nation could unite behind him, against the autocracy of Mobutu Sese Seko or the Kabilas, father and son. But in that time, Mr Tshisekedi became a monument in his own right. His intransigence, at times, may have hindered democratic progress.
In the past three years of Mr Tshisekedi's illness, his son Felix has taken an increasingly prominent role. The future of the the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) party is now in the balance. Other, younger, opposition leaders may now find room for manoeuvre in transition talks that are expected to continue under the auspices of the Congolese bishops' conference.
Witnesses say as word of his death spread in Kinshasa on Wednesday evening, clashes broke out between a small group of his supporters and police, who fired teargas.
Mourners who gathered at his son's house in Kinshasa said they were concerned about the future.
"This man sacrificed his life, his youth for us all. This man made us open our eyes. He was our icon. This man was an icon for Africa. He was great. We lost a great man," one woman told the BBC.
Another said his supporters saw him as incorruptible: "He was an historic opponent. [Nelson] Mandela was the best and Tshisekedi comes after."
Didier Reynders, the foreign minister of Belgium - the former colonial power - described Mr Tshisekedi as a "remarkable political figure".
"Belgium joins forces with the Congolese people in their grief and their desire to see his work bear fruit," the AFP news agency quotes him as saying.
She dismissed a deal after the assembly election but told BBC Wales the referendum "changed everything".
Plaid's Neil McEvoy AM and MP Jonathan Edwards expressed their opposition to working with Labour on Twitter.
AM for South Wales West, Bethan Jenkins, also criticised the comments.
Plaid agreed a limited deal after May's assembly election to allow Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones, whose party won 29 of 60 seats in the May election, to be re-installed as first minister.
Asked on Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme if she was open to coalition, Ms Wood said: "What happened on Thursday night has changed everything really, so I would not be prepared to close anything down.
"I'm still not looking for ministerial seats per se, but I do think that this situation is serious now.
"We're going to lose a lot of money, there are grave risks to our economy, to some of the jobs we have got here and to some of the funding of key projects we have got here.
"It necessitates leadership - that's what we need in Wales now.
"Strong, confident leadership and my party is ready to step up to the plate and work with whoever in order to provide the leadership Wales now needs."
But in response, South Wales Central AM Neil McEvoy, who was newly elected in May, said on Twitter: "I'm absolutely opposed to propping up a toxic Labour Party.
"No deals, no coalition. Labour is Wales' biggest problem."
Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards was also critical of any support for Labour while Jeremy Corbyn was facing challenges to his leadership.
He tweeted: "Labour today is defined by chaos, dissent and disunity. Now is the time for @Plaid_Cymru to challenge not endorse them".
Ms Wood's comments were also criticised by Plaid Cymru AM Bethan Jenkins.
"So when were AMs and members consulted on this stance", she tweeted.
Interviewed on Sunday Supplement, Mr Jones said: "We are talking to Plaid Cymru, we have a formal structure in place.
"There are three committees in place so the parties can talk to each other early on about things like the budget, about things like new laws.
"My view has always been that when it comes to having the strongest voice for Wales we are of course looking to work with other parties who are in the same position as we are on in terms of strengthening Wales' position.
"So it's not as if we are refusing to talk to Plaid Cymru - we are talking to Plaid Cymru.
"It was made clear after the election that Plaid at that point weren't interested in anything beyond that kind of structure."
The £1.5m project is part of the long term management plan, unveiled by the Environment Secretary Owen Paterson.
Funding will also be made available to woodland owners to help them remove infected ash saplings.
The National Trust said it was too late to eradicate the disease, but the government plan could buy time.
According to the Forestry Commission, outbreaks of the disease, caused by the fungus Chalara fraxinea, have been found at 427 sites in across Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The government says that the plan to plant 250,000 young ash trees is the first project of this kind in Europe. Existing stocks of ash will be bought and planted in the East and South East of England where most of the Chalara outbreaks have taken place.
By planting in these areas, it is hoped that the young trees will be exposed to the fungus and can be monitored for signs of resistance.
The Environment Secretary acknowledged that taking a long term approach to Chalara fraxinea was now the most effective strategy.
"We know we can't stop Chalara infecting our ash trees, so we have to throw our resources into managing it and slowing the spread. A key part of that strategy will be identifying those trees which have a natural resistance to the disease so that we can re-stock our woodlands in the future," he said.
Most of the new planting will take place on private lands. According to the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), these land-owners will not be paid for taking part in the experiment.
One group taking part in the project is the Woodland Trust. They describe the plans as pragmatic. But the trust's chief executive Sue Holden told BBC News that there was no quick fix.
"This is great to have a little bit of money but it needs a lot more - it needs long-term management."
She says she is concerned that cuts of some £37m in Defra's budget will affect the department's ability to tackle the threat to trees.
"You can't just fight each disease as it arrives, you have to build resilience overall. This is not something that just one action plan is able to solve," she added.
The government also announced that from April, owners will also be able to apply for funding to remove infected ash saplings and replace them with other trees.
While some critics have said the government's plans are now to manage and not control the disease, Defra also said that new chemical treatments are being evaluated that could prevent trees from dying.
Fourteen products that may be used on live trees and on leaf litter are to be evaluated in the laboratory to ensure they do not have an adverse effect on human and animal health.
The ban on the import and movement of ash trees will continue.

In July it emerged the secretary of state had not "called in" the ambitious scheme which included a 10,000-capacity stadium near Glasshoughton.
Wakefield Council had already approved the plan, but on Monday evening the period for any judicial review expired.
Wakefield Council leader Peter Box said it was "a great day for the town".
Developers Lateral Property Group said the scheme could create 2,000 jobs.
Plans for the so-called Five Towns Park include a 50-acre country park, shops and restaurants.
Mr Box said: "It's not just a great day for Castleford Tigers, but a great day for the town of Castleford.
"It's going to help with the regeneration of the town, it's also going to create new jobs and opportunities for local people, so all in all it's a red letter day."
Phillip Lunn, managing director of Lateral Property Group said: ''We are pleased to confirm that we have now formally received planning permission from Wakefield Council and that the period for any possible legal challenge has now passed.
"This means that we have now taken another major step towards making Five Towns Park a reality.
"This development would not be possible without the continued support of the local community, for which we are very grateful."
Tigers' head coach Daryl Powell said: "It's outstanding news to get the next step towards our new stadium."
St Helens star Steve Prescott had five transplants during 32 hours of experimental operations three weeks before his death in November 2013.
His widow, Linzi, met Claire Place, from Colchester, whose life has been saved by similar surgery.
Mr Prescott died aged 39 from a rare form of abdominal cancer.
He played for St Helens, Hull FC and Wakefield, as well as both England and Ireland.
His career ended in 2004 through injury and he was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei in 2006.
Despite being given only months to live, he battled the disease and was made an MBE for his charity work.
Linzi Prescott told BBC North West Tonight: "It's amazing to meet Claire finally - when it's something so rare it makes you feel quite close to them.
"After diagnosis Steve changed as a person and it moulded the person he became. He turned his sights to helping other people
"He went through what he went through for somebody else and not for nothing, really."
His pancreas, duodenum, small bowel, stomach and stomach wall were transplanted at Oxford's Churchill Hospital as part of the lengthy experimental operation.
Claire Place was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma eight years ago and underwent a similar multi-organ transplant when traditional treatment started to fail.
She said: "I feel great, it's amazing. It's nice to be able to eat and drink again. Even things like walking the dog is easy again now."
Jamieson carded a five-under-par 67 to finish in a three-way tie for second behind Sweden's Johan Carlsson.
Englishmen Ross Fisher and Graeme Storm are a stroke further back, alongside Bradley Dredge of Wales.
"We had the best of the conditions, not a breath of air, and the greens are so good this year," said Jamieson, who was in the first group out at 07:00 BST.
Jamieson's score was matched by Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Francesco Molinari, with Open champion Henrik Stenson and Ryder Cup star Thomas Pieters part of a nine-strong group on four under.
A round of 69 kept England's Tyrell Hatton in touch, but two bogeys saw compatriot Justin Rose end on level par with Danny Willett, also of England.
Defending champion Chris Wood began his title defence with a level-par 72 that included three birdies and three bogeys, throwing his ball into the water after dropping a shot on the 18th.
"I couldn't hit the hole from three feet," said the Englishman. "I'm pretty disappointed and not in the best frame of mind now."

Branden Grace received a controversial drop after his approach on the 13th landed in the bank of a bunker.
Having taken his stance, the South African called in a rules official to say his feet were touching the rubber sheeting at the base of the bunker.
However, the decision was criticised by Willett, Masters champion in 2016, and former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley.
Willett wrote on social media: "European Tour please explain that drop!? Burying feet in to get to the base of the bunker???"
McGinley added: "If you twist your feet enough you're bound to eventually reach the bunker lining.
"That means any time a player wants relief from a poor lie he can simply twist his feet until he reaches the bunker lining. That can't be right."
But Grace, who bogeyed the 13th and dropped another shot on the 16th in an opening round of 68, said he had simply applied the rules.
"I can understand if some people criticise you for standing in the middle of the bunker and going too deep, but if you're standing on the upslope it's not always easy getting a stance," he said.
His body was discovered at a house in Broombeg View around 20:30 GMT on Thursday. A formal identification has yet to take place.
Police have arrested a 33-year old man on suspicion of murder.
Det Ch Insp Gareth Talbot said: "Our investigation is at a very early stage and we're keen to hear from anyone with information about this heinous crime."
Corporation tax is the tax that companies pay on their profits. The current UK rate is 21% whereas in the Republic of Ireland firms pay 12.5%.
Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers said it was "fitting" that it happened on St Patrick's Day.
But she warned Stormont must reform welfare before the bill can progress.
A bill to allow Northern Ireland to set its own rate of corporation tax, in a bid to compete for investment with the Republic of Ireland, was a key part of the Stormont House Agreement.
The legislation to allow corporation tax powers to be devolved to Stormont was published in January.
The government aims to pass the law before May's general election.
It should allow Northern Ireland to set its own rate from April 2017.
The 19-year-old, who ended unbeaten on 62, became the third-youngest player to hit a fifty for England.
With captain Alastair Cook, who is 46 not out, Hameed took England to 114-0, an advantage of 163.
Leg-spinner Adil Rashid had earlier impressed with 4-114 in India's 488, while Ravichandran Ashwin made 70.
When England took the final wicket of Ashwin on the stroke of tea, it seemed like India were more likely to force a victory by shooting out the tourists on a pitch that is now showing greater amounts of turn.
But with Hameed shining and even outplaying the occasionally skittish Cook, England dealt with the threat of India's spinners and it is they who are set to dictate the course of the final day.
Cook may wish for his batsmen to press on in the morning in the hope of declaring, even if there is probably not enough time to bowl India out again.
"England's plan will have been to bat tonight and into tomorrow morning," said BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew. "The big question for me is how much Cook trusts his spinners if a declaration came into the equation."
Since Andrew Strauss retired in 2012, England have gone through 10 different openers in partnership with Cook and none have looked so instantly at home at the top of the order as Hameed, who only joined Lancashire's Academy and Scholarship programme in the year Strauss called it a day.
In a situation that could have proved difficult - a slender lead and with India's spinners prowling - Hameed, only the second teenager to debut for England since 1949, looked more assured even than the vastly experienced Cook.
Nicknamed 'Baby Boycott' for a perceived cautious approach, he imposed himself with a wonderful straight six off the left-arm spin of Ravindra Jadeja.
The right-hander moved the ball around, played some delightful cover drives and deft cuts, one of which brought up a half-century that was celebrated with tears by father Ismail, who was born in Gujarat, the state in which this match is being played.
Hameed sleeps on the highest score made by a batsman under the age of 20 for England since 1937. If he reaches three figures on Sunday he will become the first teenage England player to do so.
Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott
Hameed has done everything, from being able to defend sensibly and then when he has looked to attack he has stroked with precision and timing. He looks like a proper player.
Ex-England spinner Vic Marks
He has made a big impression on me. That long search for an opener looks to be over. I'm purring - he's played three or four shots which have been perfection. The six was one of those moments where your eyes pop and you think 'hang on, there's something a bit special here'. I bet in the dressing room, Trevor Bayliss will be looking on with more interest than ever.
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew
All of the other opening batsmen England have put on parade, as a former opening bowler I have seen weaknesses in their game. But there's nothing obvious about Hameed's game. He looks very solid and composed.
Yorkshire's Rashid took five wickets on his debut against Pakistan last year but has since struggled to prove he belongs at Test level.
Here he put in his most impressive performance to date and has looked the most threatening spinner on either side.
After Zafar Ansari got through Ajinkya Rahane, Rashid claimed the vital wicket of Virat Kohli in curious fashion, with the India captain going too far back and treading on his stumps.
Bowling with control, loop and extracting bounce, Rashid also had Jadeja caught at short leg and completely deceived swiping tailender Umesh Yadav.
Resuming on 319-4, India were still 176 adrift when Rahane and Kohli fell in the space of 12 runs.
But any hopes that England had of securing a large lead were snuffed out by Ashwin, who shared a stand of 64 with wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha.
Primarily in the side as a bowler, Ashwin has four Test centuries and looked in complete control, hanging in the crease to do the majority of his scoring on the back foot.
England's bowlers again impressed with their accuracy and the fielding was tigerish, but Cook did drop a simple slip catch off Mohammed Shami when the number 11 had only one.
The last-wicket pair went on to add 29, a stand ended when Ashwin holed out to deep mid-wicket to give Moeen Ali a second victim.
England spinner Adil Rashid on Sky Sports: "To get a lead of 160-odd, we're in a great position and we can perform tomorrow with the ball.
"We still have batting to do. We just have to get to lunchtime or tea or whenever it is and see if we can put the pressure on. We've got to have the belief we can do that.
On Haseeb Hameed: "He's a quiet boy but he works very hard. He's very organised and has had a good temperament. He's tricky to bowl at, he uses his feet a lot. He works very hard in the nets and it has shown today."
The claim: Tuesday 27 December was the busiest day in the history of the National Health Service.
Reality Check verdict: In relation to attendance at type-one accident and emergency departments (the general A&E departments at big hospitals), Mr Hunt is correct. That's a reasonable measure of how busy the NHS is, but other measures suggest different days were busier.
NHS England publishes daily statistics during the winter for several metrics to do with NHS services, so we can look into whether it is the case.
We can assume he was talking about the NHS in England only, because health is devolved, so he is not in charge of the NHS in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
The number of people attending accident and emergency departments is an important indicator of demand for hospital services.
On 27 December, there were 60,215 attendances at A&E departments.
That is a high level, but it's not the highest for the month, which was set at 60,692 on 5 December.
But it turns out that Mr Hunt was talking about only type-one A&E departments, which is what most people would think of as an A&E department.
Type-two are specialist units, such as Moorfields Eye Unit, while type-three are GP-led walk-in centres.
There were 46,315 attendances at type-one A&E departments, which is the highest of the month. Comparisons with previous years are difficult due to changes in coverage and figures not being broken down in the same way.
Another important measure is the number of emergency admissions, which was 13,715 on 27 December.
That is a high figure, but the number was higher on each of the following three days - it was 14,649 on 28 December.
Looking at the proportion of beds occupied: on 27 December, 90.5% of the total number of available beds were occupied.
That's actually quite low by the standards of last month - there were higher figures on 24 days in December.
NHS England says that the week ending 1 January 2017 was the busiest week for the NHS 111 24-hour non-emergency service since it began in August 2010, but we do not get that figure broken down by day so cannot say whether the Tuesday was the busiest day.
We also do not have daily figures for how busy other parts of the NHS were, such as GPs.

It found the total spending in 2015 on agency midwives, overtime and the NHS's flexible "bank" midwives was £72.7m.
The RCM described it as an "incredibly expensive and wasteful way to staff maternity units".
An NHS spokesman said it was committed to cutting agency staff costs so patients "get the right care".
Some 123 NHS trusts in England with maternity units responded to the RCM's Freedom of Information requests, which revealed that 46 had used agency midwives last year to fill gaps on hospital rotas.
In 2015 the government introduced a cap on NHS trusts' spending on agency staff, but the figures show that for many trusts some costs continue to rise.
The £25m spent on agency midwives represented a 40% increase compared with 2014, and a 146% increase over four years.
The report also said that on average agency midwives were paid £41 an hour, about half of which went to the agency.
Additionally, overtime pay for NHS midwives cost an average of £23 per hour, while bank staff - in-house workers who want to work flexibly across health trusts - cost £25.63 per hour on average.
Jon Skewes, from the RCM, said spending on this scale "simply cannot continue".
He went on: "An over-reliance on temporary staff is clearly more expensive than employing the correct number of permanent staff and needs to be corrected sooner rather than later."
But a spokesman from NHS Improvement - which combines a number of health monitoring and improvement bodies - said trusts "have made good progress" and saved over £600m on agency staff since last year.
"We are committed to helping the NHS cut the cost of agency midwives and all agency staff, so that patients get the right care, from the right staff, at the right time," he added.
The overall budget for NHS England in 2015-16 year was £101.3bn.
A BBC London investigation found nine west London pharmacies sold drugs including Valium, Viagra, temazepam and morphine without prescription.
As a result three of them have received 18 month suspension orders following a General Pharmaceutical Council hearing.
A Metropolitan Police investigation into all nine is still on-going.
The three pharmacists suspended are Chawan Shaida of Bin Seena Pharmacy, Hussain Jamal Rasool of Al Farabi Pharmacy - both in Paddington - and Murtaza Gulamhusein from Curie Pharmacy in Maida Vale.
Selling drugs without prescription has a maximum penalty of two years in jail.
An inspector at the Met's Drugs Directorate told the BBC last month: "It looks like you have evidence of criminality and obviously we need to look at that very closely.
"We would want to look at that as a matter of urgency."
Meanwhile a third investigation is being launched jointly by Westminster Council and Inner North West London Primary Care Trust.
Westminster Council has said it was suspending its contract with Curie Pharmacy.
The General Pharmaceutical Council had said before the BBC London investigation, it had only taken one pharmacist in England to a fitness to practise hearing for selling drugs without a prescription in 2012.
Several London pharmacies sold the reporters from the BBC London's Inside Out programme diazepam or its trade name drug Valium - a strong and addictive sedative in the benzodiazepine family - for up to £85.
Over a few weeks, researchers bought 288 Valium tablets, 21 temazepam tablets, 294 amoxicillin tablets, 24 Viagra tablets and one bottle of Oramorph without prescriptions.
And for £200, Al Farabi Pharmacy in Paddington dispensed a bottle of Oramorph - containing morphine.
A standard NHS prescription would cost about £7.65.
The BBC was acting on specific intelligence about the pharmacies.
Latest figures show 293 people died in the UK in 2011 from misuse of benzodiazepines, more than double the 125 killed by cocaine and ecstasy combined.

It also said no apology was necessary for the scheduling of the tournament, which will disrupt a number of leagues.
A Fifa taskforce has recommended the 2022 World Cup take place in winter to avoid Qatar's hot summer temperatures.

"There will be no compensation," said Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke. "There are seven years to reorganise."
Fifa's executive committee will meet in Zurich next month to ratify the taskforce's recommendation.
Valcke also suggested that a 2022 World Cup final on 23 December was looking increasingly likely.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore says a final that close to Christmas will cause havoc with the traditional festive club programme, while Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce wants it played a week earlier.
But Valcke says European governing body Uefa and other confederations are keen on Friday, 23 December, although 18 December is also a possibility.
Valcke also confirmed the 2022 World Cup will be four days shorter as a "concession" to leagues and clubs - 28 days instead of the usual 31 or 32 - and that the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations will move to June from January.
Speaking at a news conference in Doha on Wednesday, Valcke admitted the situation was "not perfect" but added: "Why are we talking about compensation? It's happening once, we're not destroying football.
"Why should we apologise to the clubs? We have had an agreement with the clubs that they are part of the beneficiaries. It was $40m (£26m) in 2010 and $70m (£45m) in 2014. We are bringing all our people to enjoy the sporting and financial results of the World Cup."
Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan has added his voice to those lamenting the impact a winter World Cup will have on leagues and clubs around the world.
"We will look at the knock-on effects of the decision and how it will affect Scottish football," he said. "Clearly there will be fixture challenges for leagues across the world.
"We have been expecting this decision for some time, but it is going to run late into December and just how close to Christmas it gets is something that needs to be thought through."
The Football League's chief executive Shaun Harvey: "We are disappointed by this recommendation as we could have reasonably expected the tournament to be played at the end of our 2021/22 season given that was the basis upon which the tender process was conducted.
"Clearly, there will be any number of questions to raise with Fifa once the final decision is confirmed so that we can discuss the practical implications with our clubs and other stakeholders in order to keep any fixture disruption to an absolute minimum."
He was found dead at Navan Retail Park on Navan's Athboy Road in County Meath just after 06:00 local time.
The Garda Síochána (Irish police) has started an investigation.
From 11 January, it will charge £5 a month, instead of £2 a month, for its 123 current account.
So, 3.6 million customers will face an annual charge of £60, rather than £24.
The announcement comes just a few weeks ahead of the initial findings from the competition authorities on retail banking in the UK.
It is expected to give a detailed account of why relatively few people switch their current account provider.
Santander had an estimated net gain of 12% of current account customers in 2014, primarily as a result of the 123 account, figures from researchers TNS suggest.
This was the highest proportion of any major bank, ahead of Halifax (a 6% net gain) and Nationwide Building Society (a 4% net gain).
The bank said it had attracted 502,200 customers from other institutions since the Current Account Switching Service began in September 2013.
Hannah Maundrell, editor of money.co.uk, said: "It seems this venus fly trap was a great catalyst for the current account switching market but, now they have got people on board, [the 123 account] is becoming less of an attractive deal from January.
"Despite the account offering 3% interest on balances from £3,000 to £20,000 and cashback on some direct debit payments, the number of people who remain in pocket will be reduced significantly."
The bank it also making changes to its 123 credit card, meaning less cashback for some of the 1.8 million customers with this card as well as an annual fee increase from £24 to £36.
The accounts were launched three years ago, but now the charges needed to change owing to "external factors", the bank said.
Reza Attar-Zadeh, head of retail products at Santander, said: "Since launch we have not made any changes to the fee or cashback levels on these products.
"However, external market factors mean we have had to make some changes to ensure the products continue to meet the needs of our customers, but also our shareholders. We are writing to all our existing 123 customers and making sure we help them understand the changes and the options available to them."
Retail banking in the UK is the subject of a review by the competition authorities. The provisional findings are expected to be published in October.
There are 65 million active personal current accounts in the UK.
The capsule had been due to launch atop a Delta rocket on a short journey above the Earth to prove key technologies.
Its maiden voyage was to have taken place from Cape Canaveral in Florida between 12:05 GMT and 14:44 GMT.
But the countdown was interrupted by gusty winds and by sluggish fuel valves in the Delta's big boosters.
Engineers will try again on Friday. The launch window will be exactly the same as on Thursday, with the aim as ever to try to get away right at the start of the window at 12:05 GMT (07:05 local Florida time).
"We'll go make sure we've got a happy rocket and as soon as we do that we're going to get back to the pad and send Orion off to a very, very successful test flight," said Dan Collins from the Delta's operating company, United Launch Alliance.
The conical capsule is reminiscent of the Apollo command ships that took men to the Moon in the 1960s and 1970s, but bigger and with cutting-edge systems.
For this demonstration mission, Orion is being flown without people aboard.
The first two delays on Thursday were weather-related (although a cargo ship travelling close to the launch range was a concern for a period, also). Sensors detected unacceptably strong gusts of wind in the vicinity of the rocket at ground level, and this automatically stopped the countdown clock.
A third stop on the clock was caused by sticky fill/drain valves on the rocket's big boosters. These had become excessively cold in the presence of the Delta's liquid hydrogen propellant.
Lockheed Martin, the company developing Orion and running this test flight for Nasa, has another two days to get the mission off the ground before negotiations must take place for an extension.
Other space missions have bookings on the launch complex and they would have to agree to step back, potentially delaying their operations as well. And ULA has a lift-off to manage on the West Coast of the US next week, and this could be impacted if the company's staff are detained in Florida.
Unfortunately, the weather in some respects looks to be less favourable for a Friday attempt.
If it deteriorates further, a decision could be made simply to jump to Saturday. This would save on supplies of liquid hydrogen, some of which is lost every time the rocket is tanked up, while also giving launch crews a bit of rest.
Orion is being developed alongside a powerful new rocket that will have its own debut in 2017 or 2018.
Together, they will form the core capabilities needed to send humans beyond the International Space Station to destinations such as the Red Planet.
For the time being, the Delta IV-Heavy rocket - currently the beefiest launcher in the world - is being used as a stand-in.
If all goes well on Friday, the Delta will send Orion twice around the globe, throwing the ship up to an altitude of almost 6,000km (3,600 miles).
This will set up a fast fall back to Earth, with a re-entry speed into the atmosphere close to 30,000km/h (20,000mph) - near what would be expected of a capsule coming back from the Moon.
It should give engineers the opportunity to check the performance of Orion's critical heat shield, which is likely to experience temperatures in excess of 2,000C (4,000F).
They will also watch how the parachutes deploy as they gently lower the capsule into Pacific waters off Mexico's Baja California Peninsula.

Walters, 32, has not trained with his team-mates since Wednesday because of minor Achilles problems.
"I'm looking to go again on Monday training," Walters told FAI TV.
The Republic received a boost on Friday as James McCarthy trained with the squad after missing the warm-up games against the Netherlands and Belarus.
Everton midfielder McCarthy, 25, suffered a groin and hamstring injury in his club's final Premier League game of the season against Norwich.
Squad skipper Robbie Keane remains a doubt for the Euro 2016 opener against Sweden because of a calf injury, although he is no longer a regular starter for Martin O'Neill's side.
Stoke forward Walters underwent a minor knee operation seven weeks ago before his minor issue with both Achilles tendons flared up in midweek.
Walters was reported to have sustained a bang to his calf on Wednesday but the Republic player of the year said on Saturday that it was Achilles related.
"When you come back you have secondary little things.
"I had a little bit of tenderness on both Achilles, tendonitis. Out on the training ground it flares up a little bit, you've just got to settle it down.
"You don't want to push through it and go into next week, the week leading up to the game, pushing yourself through it.
"You have a chance to settle it down, which we did, a couple of days and that's what I've done."
After a weekend off, the Republic players will resume training on Monday before their departure to France on Wednesday.
Martin O'Neill's side face the Swedes in their Group E opener in Paris on 13 June before further games against Belgium and Italy.
Richard McPhee, 35, held up the Day Today shop in Drip Road on 25 November.
A court was told that McPhee brandished the knife at 27-year-old Lilita Mierina and forced her to open the till.
McPhee, also of Stirling, admitted a charge of armed robbery at the High Court in Edinburgh before judge Lord Boyd.
Officers recognised McPhee from Ms Mierina's description and he was arrested the following day.
Sentence was deferred for reports until 30 March.
Under-20s coach Murty has been in charge for three Premiership matches following Mark Warburton's departure.
And his side responded to defeats at Dundee and Inverness CT by beating St Johnstone 3-2 at Ibrox for his first Premiership win in charge.
"He's been brilliant," said midfielder Hyndman, who scored the late winner again Saints on Wednesday night.
"It's always a tough position as a kind of interim manager, especially with the way things have gone," on-loan Bournemouth midfielder Hyndman added.
"But I credit him for coming in and establishing what he wants us to do. I think the boys got behind him quite well.
"The results didn't really show what he was doing and how good he was but it was nice to give him that positive feeling on Wednesday night."
Rangers are expected to appoint a new head coach next week, after Saturday's Scottish Cup quarter-final at home to Hamilton Academical.
And with the Premiership gap between third-placed Rangers and second-placed Aberdeen now cut to six points, USA international Hyndman says there is still plenty to play for this term.
"Of course there is," he said. "We saw the Aberdeen result the other night (1-0 defeat at Hamilton) but we're just focused on ourselves at the same time.
"We need to get ourselves right and I think we took our first step against Saints. It was about the three points, it wasn't about how we got it.
"After recent results we've had it was very important we got three points on the board and thankfully we did that."
Fellow loan player Jon Toral, who joined Rangers from Arsenal in January, was also keen to praise Murty.
"It was massive for Graeme on Wednesday," said the Spaniard. "He has put a lot of effort into the other games as well, he has really helped us and for us to give him that first league win was crucial.
"At the minute we are just thinking about the cup tie on Saturday and then whatever happens happens. If a new manager has until the end of the season to work with the players and then to kick on next season it would be great for the club."
Bedfordshire chief constable Colette Paul said collaboration brought budget savings but force mergers could happen.
The number of forces could reduce if local links could be maintained and forces collaborated on providing expensive specialist units, she said.
Ms Paul said she had decided to step down for family reasons after two years heading the county's police force.
Her family had supported her during her career and she was now going to give them more time, she said.
She told the BBC Bedfordshire Police did not have enough resources and she had supported Police and Crime Commissioner Olly Martins' decision to hold a referendum asking for a budget increase.
This was refused in the vote and Ms Paul said she accepted that and the force now had to bear its share of government cuts.
"Bedfordshire crime levels are more like a London borough and that means we are underfunded," she said.
"My personal view is that there should be a significantly smaller number of police forces and I would always support more collaboration."
Ms Paul said she was proud her force had taken the regional lead on the fight against terrorism, which she saw as a significant risk in Bedfordshire, and it had brought a great deal of collaboration with neighbouring constabularies.
"This helped us to get the right intelligence and to use it to cut the risk," she said.
The force had been criticised over being remote and Ms Paul recruited more officers and based them in local communities "to build confidence" and hold the frontline, she said.
"This local presence is very important. Even forces closer than others to merger retain this important local element."
Businessman Sir Philip Hampton told the Evening Standard newspaper in London that in contrast to men, he had "never, ever had a woman ask for a pay rise".
BBC presenter Jane Garvey said he seemed "peculiarly out of touch".
The corporation has faced criticism since it revealed last week that its top earners were largely men.
The list showed that Chris Evans was the the top-paid male star on between £2.2m and £2.25m, while Claudia Winkleman was the highest-paid female celebrity, earning between £450,000 and £500,000 last year.
It also revealed that two-thirds of the 96 presenters and celebrities paid more than £150,000 were men, and director general Tony Hall admitted there was "more to do" on the gender pay gap.
Sir Philip, the co-author of the government's Hampton-Alexander review looking at ways of increasing the number of women in top paid jobs, was asked about the situation by the newspaper.
He said: "How has this situation arisen at the BBC that these intelligent, high-powered, sometimes formidable women have sat in this situation?
"They [the female broadcasters] are all looking at each other now saying: 'How did we let this happen?' I suspect they let it happen because they weren't doing much about it."
Sir Philip, who is chairman of global drugs company GSK, where he earns £700,000 a year, added: "It's just a difference between men and women: men go for promotions and leadership roles, women are less proactive in asking for more money.
"I've had lots of women reporting to me or coming in to talk to me about their careers - either for general guidance or employees of companies where I've been working. I have never, ever had a woman ask for a pay rise.
"There isn't a list long enough for all the men who've asked. Lots of men have trooped into my office saying they are under-paid but no woman has ever done that."
But Ms Garvey, who presents Radio 4's Woman's Hour and organised a protest letter from the BBC's top female stars to Mr Hall, told the Standard: "The likes of Sir Philip Hampton can never begin to understand. He seems peculiarly out of touch given the task he has.
"Many women have learnt to question their position in the workplace, partly because of the dominance and success of people like him."
And Liberal Democrat deputy leader Jo Swinson accused him of heaping "insult on injustice", adding that his comments were "at best, astonishingly ill-judged".
"His remarks that the BBC women 'let this happen' display a worrying lack of understanding of the structural gender, race and class bias across all of society at all levels, including the BBC," she added. | Scotland coach Gordon Strachan accepts the view of predecessor Craig Brown that the current squad lacks the quality to compete at the top level.

The UK Music report, called Wish You Were Here, calculated that 928,000 people made visits associated with festivals, concerts and other music-related events.
It suggested the business helped sustain 3,230 full-time jobs.
UK Music chief executive Jo Dipple said the appetite for live music was continuing to grow.
Perth and Perthshire MP Pete Wishart, a professional musician, said: "Scotland attracts almost a million music tourists each year.
"People come to our nation to enjoy our festivals and gigs, generating £105m in spend in the process."
He added: "Scotland is rich in creativity. We must continue to champion our creative industries and the vital role that they provide to our communities and economy."
The report said music festivals and concerts had been "adding to Scottish happiness and wellbeing for decades".
Jo Dipple added: "The appetite for live music has continued to grow.
"Last year overseas music tourism increased by 16%, whilst British music events were attended by a staggering 27.7 million people in 2015.
"What this report shows, unequivocally, is the economic value of live music to communities, cities and regions."
The theme of the inaugural Wild Film Festival Scotland is "amazing journeys, wild places and rewilding".
Leading naturalists and broadcasters have been lined up for the event, which runs until Sunday at venues throughout the town.
They include film-maker Simon King of the Big Cat Diary fame, and Springwatch presenter Iolo Williams.
About 30 films will be screened during the three-day event, from full-length features to documentaries and shorts.
Organisers have promised an "exciting weekend of award-winning films, stunning photography, celebrity guests, inspirational talks, controversy, art and music."

The small Cambridge software company, which was set up by some of the inventors of remote computer access software, has collaborated with global technology giants such as Google, Apple, Intel and Sony and its technology is now said to be used in more than a billion devices worldwide.
Engineer Ian Shott, who was on the judging panel, said: "The sophistication of engineering behind RealVNC's technology has given them a game-changing proposition.
"The company is now on the cusp of fully exploiting this, and I fully believe they could be a billion dollar business within the next five years."
The MacRobert gold medal was presented on Wednesday at the Royal Academy of Engineering's awards dinner.
The downturn, due to weak manufacturing and trade, follows a 0.3% fall in GDP in the final quarter last year.
It is the first time that economic has slowed for two consecutive quarters - the technical definition of a recession - since 2009.
The value of the rand fell by 1% on the currency markets.
Analysts had expected GDP to grow by 0.9% during the first quarter. However, Joe de Beer, deputy director general of Statistics South Africa, said: "We can now pronounce that the economy is in recession."
He added: "The major industries that contracted in the economy were the trade and manufacturing sectors."
Africa's third-largest economy is under pressure after President Jacob Zuma fired its respected finance minister, Pravin Gordhan, earlier this year.
It prompted two credit rating agencies, Standard and Poor's and Fitch, to downgrade South Africa's credit worthiness to junk.
This means it is more expensive for South Africa to borrow money, because it is seen as having a higher risk defaulting on its debts.
Last week, S&P and Fitch pointed to further concerns about the South African economy, including uncertainty over who will succeed President Zuma as leader of the ruling African National Congress.
A successor is expected to be chosen in December, but Mr Zuma can remain as head of state until an election in 2019.

A man from Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, was given the coin by his grandfather when he was little.
He said his grandfather travelled all over the world and "He gave me bags of coins to play with - I was into pirate treasure".
There were only twenty made from gold that was taken from Spanish treasure ships by the British in Vigo Bay, northern Spain, 314 years ago.
More recently, this man gave the coins to his son to play with in his own treasure box, before realising that the gold coin might be worth something.
After showing it to an expert, the coin was recognised as a Queen Anne 'Vigo' five guinea gold coin.
Time to see if there's any secret pirate coins tucked away in your toy treasure boxes!
The 57-year-old entered the building in Provost Road at about 23:00 on Saturday night, when he was approached by a man and a woman.
The man was described as being 5ft 8in, with short, dark hair. He was wearing a dark-coloured scarf around his neck.
The woman was also 5ft 8in, with dark hair which was worn up. She was wearing a beige puffer jacket.
The pair stole the man's wallet. Police said he did not need hospital treatment.
Matthew Williams was found attacking Cerys Yemm, 22, at the Sirhowy Arms in Argoed, on 6 November 2014.
Gwent Police stunned Williams, 34, with a Taser but he later died.
Sally Williams told a Newport inquest a police officer should have arranged a psychiatric appointment.
She said PC Alison Perry promised she would arrange a "fast track" meeting to get Williams anti-psychotic medication.
The officer was the central point of contact on the integrated offender management scheme - responsible for bring together probation, police, local authorities, drugs and alcohol services and health providers to help Williams.
"I know she could have saved Cerys and saved Matthew. I think she could have prevented it if she'd done her job properly," Mrs Williams told the inquest.
"If Matthew had got his drugs and moved to a different area, it all could have been prevented."
While she admitted he "could be violent whether he took drugs or not", she said anti-psychotic medication made him calmer.
"He was depressed, violent, there were all sorts of problems [whether on medication or not]," she added.
"He had a split personality, one minute he was good, the next he was up in arms.
"You only had to speak to Matthew for five minutes to see something was not right. He was not firing on thrusters. He had a definite mental illness."
Mrs Williams said her son first developed a drug habit in his late teens, with the family trying numerous ways of helping him.
"We tried everything, hospitals, different psychiatrists, everything," she said.
She added she had never been tempted to abandon him, adding: "No, he's ill, he needs someone there for him and he's my son."
Mrs Williams did not believe her son had a central care plan after leaving prison and the inquest heard she sent a text to PC Perry blaming her for what happened to him and Cerys Yemm.
The officer met Williams and his mother before his release from prison to offer services that would help him.
PC Perry told the inquest he rejected all offers of help while she was unable to arrange psychiatrist appointments as these would have needed to be made by Williams' GP.
However, Mrs Williams disputed this and evidence from her son's GP that she examined him after he left prison, saying he had only been to the surgery to pick up a "sick note".
She said her son wanted to start a new life in Newport with his father on his release from prison "to get away from the situation" in Blackwood.
"All of it, his ex partner, the police. He was a free man and wanted to start a new life. Most of his offending was in the Caerphilly area."
The inquest continues.
The 38-year-old was approached by the men as he returned to his silver Skoda in Buchannan Park in Stepps at about 17:40 on Friday.
They demanded his car keys and, when he refused, the men produced weapons and hit him on the leg.
They then drove off along Cumbernauld Road towards the M80. Police have appealed for witnesses.
The first man is described as white, in his late teens or early 20s, 5ft 7in to 5ft 10in tall, of medium build with short black hair and stubble.
He was wearing a black fleece with an orange AGGREKO emblem, dark trousers and dark shoes.
The second man is described as white, in his late teens or early 20s, 5ft 8in to 6ft tall, of slim build and with fair hair.
He was wearing the same fleece as the other man, dark trousers and dark shoes.
Det Con Thomas Kiernan, from Coatbridge, CID said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the victim and extensive inquiries are under way to trace the despicable individuals responsible.
"I would appeal to anyone who was either in the car park or the surrounding area, who may have seen two men matching the above descriptions acting suspiciously to get in touch.
"I would also ask anyone who may have seen a silver Skoda driving at speed along Cumbernauld Road to come forward as you may be able to assist with our inquiries."
The robbery follows two similar attacks in Glasgow and Airdrie earlier this month.
Three armed men stole a man's car near Glasgow Royal Infirmary on Monday 8 May.
The following day, a man was assaulted and robbed of his car by two armed attackers in a car park at Monklands Hospital.
Mr Macron won by 66.06% to 33.94% to become, at 39-years-old, the country's youngest president.
He said that a new page was being turned in French history.
"I want it to be a page of hope and renewed trust," he said.
Mr Macron's supporters gathered in their thousands to celebrate outside the Louvre museum in central Paris and their new president later joined them.
In his speech to the crowd, he said: "Tonight you won, France won. Everyone told us it was impossible, but they don't know France."
But not everyone was happy with the result. Almost 150 protestors were arrested in Paris after they were accused of throwing missiles at police and damaging property.
Demonstrators were protesting both against Macron and against his defeated rival, Marine Le Pen.
Macron has promised to unite the country and "do everything I can over the next five years to ensure that people no longer have any reason to vote for extremes."

Emmanuel Macron has never tried to be president before.
He used to be a banker, before becoming an economic advisor for the current president Francois Hollande.
He then got the job of economic minister, which is more senior government role, in 2014.
Despite being a minister for the Socialist party, in April 2016, he set up his own political movement called En Marche!. This means 'On the move!' in French.
Many people did not agree with what he was doing and became cross with him.
He ended up resigning from the government in August. He said it was "a new step in [his] battle and to build a project... that isn't compatible with being in government".
During the election campaign, there were certain things Emmanuel Macron promised to achieve if he became president, including:
Losing candidate Marine Le Pen thanked the estimated 11 million people who had voted for her in her speech to supporters.
She also said she had wished Mr Macron success in tackling the "huge challenges" facing him.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump tweeted his congratulations to Mr Macron for the "big win" and said he looked forward to working with him.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May said: "France is one of our closest allies and we look forward to working with the new president."
Dollar Financial UK, which owns The Money Shop, said that only 25% of the refunds agreed with the regulator in October had been paid back.
The remaining payout to people who were given loans they could not afford, which totals more than £7m, will not be completed until the end of June.
The lender said it had overhauled its operations during a tough year.
The Money Shop, part of a US-owned group, is launching a new revamped branch in Derby on Monday in the first part of a major facelift of premises across the UK.
Following strict new regulations on the payday industry brought in by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the volume of loans across all short-term lenders has plunged.
The Money Shop cut the number of its branches from 600 to 250 in what chief executive Stuart Howard described as "a tough 12 to 15 months".
He said that there had been "night and day changes to the business".
The firm now considers short-term, high interest loans as only a small part of its business, alongside loans given in instalments, money transfer and foreign exchange services.
"The whole business model had to change," he said. "We have put our house in order."
He described the company's relationship with the regulator as "much better", although the company still awaits full consumer credit accreditation from the regulator.
The lender is the latest to be keen to show it had changed from the days of reckless payday lending.
A number of loans firms have changed management teams and advertising strategies.
However, Dollar UK will still be spending the first half of the year paying millions of pounds to customers who suffered from poor affordability checks on loans taken out in the year to April 2015, as well as the collection of repayments on loans taken out between January 2013 and the end of April 2015.
Mr Howard said the compensation agreement was "a line in the sand" for the company.
The compensation by Dollar UK comes after lender Wonga said in October 2014 that it was writing off £220m of debts for 330,000 customers, and - in July last year - lender Cash Genie was faced with a £20m compensation bill after charging customers £50 to transfer them to the firm's debt collection business.
The Yorkshireman won the second Supersport event on Wednesday to add to his earlier victories in the first 600cc race and the Superstock class.
Hutchinson, 35, won by 14 seconds from New Zealander Bruce Anstey, with Guy Martin a further 17 seconds behind.
He joins Michael Dunlop, Steve Hislop and Phillip McCallen on 11 TT wins.
The Bingley man now has more 600c victories than any other rider over the 37.73-mile Mountain Course.
Hutchinson, who underwent 30 operations after being involved in a horror crash at Silverstone five years ago, took control of the race on the opening lap and gradually extended his lead over Anstey.
The former Macau Grand Prix winner set the fastest lap of the race at 127.751mph on his Team Traction Control Yamaha on his second circuit.
"The lads put a brand new engine in the bike and it went like a dream.
"On the third lap I tried to give the bike a bit of care and back off slightly but then the gap came down to eight seconds and I had to up the pace again.
"For Keith Flint and his team to put this bike together for me at short notice just a week before the event is fantastic," said an elated Hutchinson.
Team boss, Prodigy frontman Flint, described the last lap of the race as "the longest 17 minutes of my life".
"We all know where Ian has come from. He has shown true grit and I'm so proud to be a part of his incredible comeback.
"We put this together in a matter of weeks and this means more to me than I could ever imagine. I don't have the words to say what it means to the team."
Hutchinson, who became the only man to win five TT races in a week in 2010, has the chance to continue his astonishing run in Friday's Senior race.
English riders James Hillier and Gary Johnson were fourth and fifth respectively, with Northern Ireland's Lee Johnston sixth.
Sophie Taylor, 22, died when her BMW hit a block of flats in Adamsdown, Cardiff, in August 2016.
Melissa Pesticcio, 24, of Llanrumney, was convicted of death by dangerous driving and jailed for six-and-a-half years at Cardiff Crown Court.
Michael Wheeler, 23, of Tremorfa, who admitted the same charge, was given a seven-and-a-half year sentence.
Pesticcio was also convicted of causing serious injury by dangerous driving to Joshua Deguara, a passenger in Miss Taylor's car.
Judge Thomas Crowther QC said "the shattering of two families was completely avoidable" and was "caused by you two being consumed by a self righteous and jealous rage, chasing her down to frighten her and teach her a lesson".
In her statement to the court, Miss Taylor's mother, Jackie, said her daughter's death left "her ripped apart and unable to cope" and her life had been "completely destroyed".
Mr Deguara suffered multiple injuries in the crash, including a brain bleed, shattered pelvis, four broken ribs, a punctured lung and a broken leg that left him with no feeling in his lower leg.
He is now going to have his left leg amputated below the knee and said outside court: "I hope I can get on with my life from there."
Wheeler, who had been in a relationship with both women, also admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving and intimidation.
The trial heard there was "hostility" between Pesticcio and Miss Taylor after Wheeler left her and started seeing the woman they would later go on to kill.
Miss Taylor took out a loan for £6,500 to buy an off-road motorbike for Wheeler just weeks into their relationship but they broke up soon after.
When Miss Taylor and Mr Deguara went to Wheeler's parents' house to get her money back, an argument led to the car chase.
Wheeler and Pesticcio decided to chase Miss Taylor to teach her a lesson for the humiliation caused by her visit to the family home, the court heard.
"This resembled nothing more than a pack chasing its prey" said Judge Crowther.
Wheeler rammed his Vauxhall Corsa into Miss Taylor's car after what the court heard was a "Fast and Furious style chase" that reached 56mph (90km/h) on narrow back streets.
This caused her vehicle to spin into the building on Meteor Street.
While Wheeler caused the crash, the court heard Pesticcio played "a main role in the protracted pursuit".
Iwan Jenkins, head of the complex casework unit at CPS Wales, said Wheeler and Pesticcio "used their cars to frighten and harass Sophie and Joshua with tragic consequences".
Michelle Sadler rang Essex Police after she spotted James Fairweather hiding in bushes in Colchester in May 2015.
As first reported in the Colchester Gazette, Crimestoppers said rewards were only given to people who ring its number rather than the police.
Fairweather, 17, was given two life sentences in April for the murders.
For more on this and other Essex stories
Mrs Sadler, whose actions are expected to be formally recognised by Essex Police at a later date, said she had not sought a reward.
The teenager was found guilty of stabbing James Attfield and Nahid Almanea to death in Colchester in 2014, when he was 15.
On 29 May 2015, Mrs Sadler was walking her dog when she saw him hiding in bushes near the same spot he had attacked his second victim.
Fairweather, who was wearing latex gloves and carrying a knife, was hunting for a third victim at the time.
She said: "For some reason he decided to jump from one side of the bush to the other.
"I recognised the jacket police said they were looking for and so I rang 101."
Mrs Sadler said she had not applied for the reward and it was a reporter at the newspaper who had told her she was not eligible to receive one.
She now believes she may have encountered Fairweather on the Tuesday before he was arrested when she was alone walking her dog in a field.
"He bent down and touched my dog and asked how old he was," Mrs Sadler said.
"He did not have his glasses on but I now believe that was him."
A Crimestoppers spokesman said: "Our rewards do come with the condition that we will only pay in relation to information given directly through our anonymous service.
"This is something that we always make clear in our press releases."
Mrs Sadler said: "I didn't know initially he was a killer - the police got that image of the jacket out there and I recognised it.
"So I never did it for the reward, although it would be nice."
Assistant Chief Constable of Essex Police Steve Worron said: "The entire force is grateful for Michelle Sadler's public spiritedness in calling us to report James Fairweather's suspicious behaviour.
"She has already been thanked verbally by my team on behalf of the town of Colchester and we are looking to record our gratitude formally and in person in the future."
Sanderson proved unplayable with a fine display of swing bowling to earn the visitors their first Championship win of the season.
Set 347 to win, Glamorgan slipped to 12-4 and never showed the application to survive as they were all out for 95.
Sanderson also picked up 10 wickets in a match for the first time.
Northants might have won even sooner if they had not dropped a series of slip catches.
Only three players reached double figures, Mark Wallace with a gritty 28 not out and Aneurin Donald the joint top-scorers, while there were four ducks in a miserable home display in the Swansea sunshine.
A Championship-best 5-61 from Timm van der Gugten was the sole high point of the final day for Glamorgan, whose seamer Ruaidhri Smith will miss four to six weeks with a side strain.
Both sides are involved in T20 Blast quarter-finals with Northants taking on Middlesex on Tuesday, 9 August and Glamorgan facing Yorkshire on Thursday, 11 August.
Glamorgan head coach Robert Croft told BBC Wales Sport:
"I thought the pitch seamed around quite a lot today and their boys bowled really well today, straight, really accurately and consistently- every good ball we edged, or it broke our defences so it was a perfect storm.
"We are disappointed but we knew we'd rested a few players, we knew there was a risk, but we've also learned about some young players.
"It was exciting to see young debutant Lukas Carey doing well and Nick Selman with a fantastic hundred.
"We've lost this game but we've had an opportunity to rest some players (for the T20) who hopefully will be fresh for Thursday, and to see what some of our younger players have."
Northants bowler Ben Sanderson told BBC Radio Northampton:
"I felt really good, just ran in and seemed to do the right things, hit the right areas and it's easy on days like that.
"Conditions weren't helping with the sunshine so we worked really hard on the ball and kept it in good condition, credit to the boys.
"To come here and get the wickets is brilliant for me, a real confidence-booster, and we've put in a performance that should carry us on for the rest of the season.
"We played well at Arundel and we've played some good cricket in this comp but not had the luck until today."
The AU supports political and economic integration among its 54 member nations. It aims to boost development, eradicate poverty and bring Africa into the global economy.
Profile compiled by BBC Monitoring
The AU succeeded the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 2002. In its later years the OAU - which originated in the decolonisation struggles of the early 1960s - had been criticised for becoming a mere talking shop.
Conceived by the then Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi as a "United States of Africa", its structure is loosely modelled on that of the European Union.
It inaugurated a pan-African parliament in March 2004 - one of a number of proposed institutions. The body debates continent-wide issues and advises AU heads of state.
There are far-reaching plans to set up a human rights court, a central bank and monetary fund, and by 2023 an African Economic Community with a single currency.
The AU believes that conflicts must be settled before there can be a chance of achieving prosperity. To this end, it set up a Peace and Security Council in 2004. The council may intervene in conflicts, replacing the old OAU principle of non-interference with one of "non-indifference".
The council can deploy military forces in situations which include genocide and crimes against humanity. It can authorise peacekeeping missions. The council planned to have a Standby Force of rapid-reaction troops in place by 2010, but this has yet to happen.
AU peacekeepers have served in Burundi and AU ceasefire monitors have served in the western Sudanese region of Darfur. An AU force has also been deployed in Somalia since March 2007.
The AU oversees the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad), an anti-poverty blueprint which offers a bargain with the West: the promotion of good political and economic practice in return for more aid and investment.
Morocco is the only African country not to have joined the AU. It left the Organisation of African Unity in 1984, after the OAU granted membership to the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic set up by the independence movement in the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
The African Union has regularly suspended member-states over coups d'etat, re-admitting them when they return to constitutional rule. Madagascar has been suspended since 2009 after Andry Rajoelina seized power, and has yet to be re-admitted. The Union suspended Mali in March 2012 over a coup.
South Sudan became the 54th member-state in the summer of 2011.
Chairman: Post holders rotate on annual basis
Assembly: The assembly comprises the heads of state of member countries, who meet at least once a year. It is the AU's main decision-making body. Members of the assembly elect an AU chairperson, to hold office for 12 months.
Executive Council: The council comprises the foreign ministers of member states, who advise the assembly members.
Commission: The administrative branch comprises 10 commissioners, who hold individual portfolios. The commission implements AU policies and coordinates the body's activities and meetings.
The commission elects its chairperson to a four-year term.
South African Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma was elected in July 2012 to become the first female head of the commission. The battle for the leadership was closely-fought and threatened to divide the AU. She defeated the incumbent, Jean Ping of Gabon.
Its critics have questioned whether the AU can be more effective than its predecessor. They point out that many of its leaders are the same people who presided over the OAU, an organisation that became known as the "dictators' club".
The AU came in for criticism over its failure to act earlier over the civil war in Libya. There was talk that the AU Commission, under Gabon's Jean Ping, had not given sufficient backing to a South African-sponsored peace plan, which itself was criticised for not requiring Muammar Gaddafi to step down.
The Libya dispute prompted the ultimately successful challenge to Mr Ping from South Africa's Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, the wife of President Jacob Zuma, for the post of commission chairperson.
Money is another sticking point. There are doubts about whether the AU - many of whose member nations are struggling to tackle domestic poverty - can afford to fund some of its ambitious schemes.
The union, keen that its activities should be bankrolled by member countries, has eschewed the "begging bowl" principle. But in 2004 the commission chairman warned that the AU needed the kind of financial lifeline that the US gave to post-war Europe.
China has paid for a new AU headquarters in Addis Ababa at a cost of $200m, prompting some concern among African observers that China is trying to buy influence in the AU as it extends its economic presence on the continent.
Under a voluntary "peer review" scheme, AU members are expected to ensure that each other's governments adhere to democratic principles and sound economic practice. But their political will to do so has been questioned by doubters. Sceptics point out that, while promoting pan-African democracy, some AU nations are run by autocrats.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell told the BBC that over a five-year Parliament borrowing would only be allowed for investment.
Labour sources said it was aimed at regaining "economic credibility".
But the government said it was clear Labour had not learned its lesson.
Mr McDonnell said the deficit on "current spending" would be eliminated. Labour insisted that the new rule was not a commitment to spend more money than the present government.
Chancellor George Osborne has put in place rules saying that the government will create an overall budget surplus "in normal times".
Labour voted against the rule in Parliament, and Mr McDonnell said any future Labour government wanted to invest more than the Conservatives.
Which could mean more borrowing.
The Office for Budget Responsibility - the government's economic watchdog - will be given new powers to "whistle blow" when it believes that the "credibility rule" has been breached.
And under the Labour plans it will also report to Parliament rather than the Treasury.
"We know now from the world's central banks that the world economy is looking at stagnation, and there needs to be a new rule," Mr McDonnell told me.
"And we want people to have confidence in a Labour government. That means we are introducing a new fiscal credibility rule.
"First, that a Labour government will always balance day to day expenditure.
"Second, that we will only borrow for the long term, and that means for investment - investment in our infrastructure, in the homes that we need, the railways, the roads, the renewable energy.
"And in new technology to grow our economy.
"Third, debt will fall under a Labour government over a five year period.
"And then finally all this will be supervised independently by the Office [for] Budget Responsibility, reporting directly to Parliament.
"This is a new iron discipline for a Labour government," he said.
Labour Party sources have admitted to me that "economic credibility" is one of the key reasons why people did not support the party at the last election.
I am told that internal polling reveals concerns that Mr McDonnell says he wants to tackle.
The Chancellor has made it clear that he believes that a Labour government would put the public finances at risk.
Mr McDonnell says that it is only by allowing more borrowing for capital investment that the British economy can grow to its full potential.
I have just received some extracts from a speech John McDonnell is making on Friday, laying out this new rule.
"There is nothing left-wing about excessive spending," Mr McDonnell will say. "There is nothing socialist about running up too much debt.
"When governments do not manage their finances responsibly, it is ordinary working people who eventually suffer.
"When governments try to disguise their spending, it is accountability and democracy that suffer.
"The Fiscal Credibility Rule is not about making spending commitments. It is about providing a framework for the responsible management of public finances.
"We must be a party that thinks first about how we earn money, not only how we spend money."
This is clearly a significant attempt to re-position Labour as one of economic responsibility. It will be for the public to decide if they are convinced.
The government has responded to Mr McDonnell's new fiscal rule.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Greg Hands said: "Labour spent and borrowed too much last time they were in power.
"It's clear they've not learned their lesson and can't be trusted with the economy.
"At a time of uncertainty in the global economy, Labour is a serious threat to our economic security and it's working people who would pay the price," Mr Hands said.
Welshman Allinson, 27, has yet to appear for Irish this season after the opening four rounds of the Premiership.
"I'm dying to get out on that field. It's a chance for a few of us who've not had much game-time to put our hands up," he told BBC Radio Berkshire.
Irish begin their Challenge Cup group at home against Agen on Saturday.
"If I get the nod to play, I'll be very much looking forward to it," Allinson said.
Tom Coventry's side, who have lost all their Premiership games so far, will also play Grenoble and Edinburgh in pool five.
Allinson, who has found himself behind Brendan McKibbin and Scott Steele in the competition for the number nine shirt, is looking forward to the challenge of facing European clubs.
"You get to go to France and teams like Agen and Grenoble are going to be really tough to face at home," he added.
"It's just a question of what sort of side they send over to play us. You know what French teams are like, you can't predict them, they're so unpredictable."
Ministers stepped in last week, after the board passed a no-confidence vote in chairman Paul Thomas.
On Tuesday, Ms Evans said that there had been tensions over recent weeks which the board had been unable to resolve internally.
An eight-week review of the board is being carried out for the government.
Sport Wales is a publicly-funded organisation which promotes sporting activity from elite to grassroots level, and receives more than £22m a year from the Welsh Government. Sport body 'could not resolve tensions'
"Officials had been aware of some tensions within the board over the past two to three weeks," Ms Evans told the Senedd.
"The expectation was that the normal governance processes would enable the board to manage this and arrive at an agreed solution, but this wasn't the case."
The minister added that, under its governance arrangements, Sport Wales had the option to either resolve the problems internally or raise them with the Welsh Government.
"A conclusion of dysfunctionality, which is where we are at now, was based on the fact that the board had reached a point where they had adopted the vote of no confidence without exhausting both of those avenues," Ms Evans said.Sport body 'could not resolve tensions'
Mr Thomas had written a highly critical report of Sport Wales - leaked to BBC Wales - which concluded the body was in "danger of stagnating" and accused it of spending an "unacceptable" amount of money on its board.
The Welsh Government said the two reviews were not connected.
Conservative sport spokesman Russell George said Labour ministers "once again took their eye off the ball" and "the relationship between the board and its chair has been allowed to break down to the cost of the proper running of the organisation".
There are concerns about the prison service in the Belfast Telegraph.
Despite having more staff than inmates, the prison system still struggles to deliver an effective service.
That's according to the Criminal Justice Inspection, which claims that the system is still operating as it did during the Troubles, when the focus was more on security than rehabilitation, with inmates locked up for long periods of time.
In an editorial, the paper says that our jails need reform from top to bottom.
It calls on Justice Minister David Ford to "address the fundamental flaws in the service, ensuring that the right people are at the helm, and that the prison warders' union no longer exerts undue influence on the prison regime".
Wikileaks cable claims about the Northern Bank robbery are still very much to the fore.
The News Letter reports that unionist politicians - such as Gregory Campbell and David McNarry - have called on Sinn Fein leaders to "come clean" about the allegations, while the Mirror leads with Gerry Adams' insistence that he had no prior knowledge of the £26.5m bank raid.
The Mirror's editorial says the Americans are squirming, as what they say in public seems to bear little resemblance to what's said behind closed doors.
But it says that all the embarrassment will be worth it, if it helps us to get closer to the truth about the Northern Bank robbery, and also about the murder of Pat Finucane.
The Irish News reports that RTE Digital is coming north.
Northern Ireland is going to get RTE through Freeview.
It is part of a groundbreaking deal which is also expected to include greater access of BBC services south of the border.
The move follows a memorandum of understanding between the British and Irish governments earlier this year.
"Bring it on," says the paper's editorial. "It's right that viewers here should be able to access RTE as easily as BBC or UTV."
There are more questions about the Stockholm suicide bomber in several English papers.
According to the bomber's family, it was his stay in Britain, in Luton, that turned him from an ordinary teenager to an al-Qaeda fanatic.
The Independent asks why Luton has become "the epicentre of the global clash of civilisations".
The Daily Telegraph thinks it has the answer, describing the town as 'a hotbed of extremism" which has "featured in a significant proportion of British terrorism plots over the past decade".
The Times says that it could be to do with the decline of Luton's car-making industry which left the town with "a combustible atmosphere, racial tensions, high unemployment and the highest crime rate in the region".
And finally the Daily Telegraph goes out on a limb and insists that a white Christmas is now a virtual certainty, with a second big freeze on its way.
The Daily Express is already dreaming about it - it says that snow may bring havoc, but "who could deny that a carpet of white on the back lawn is a perfect accompaniment to Christmas lunch?"
Meanwhile, back with the Telegraph, there's news of a couple for whom summer never ends.
Janys and John Warren have been living on British summer time for years, and claim that refusing to put the clocks back has improved their health and cut their heating bills.
The 28-year-old began his senior career with the Hammers in 2007, before signing for Ipswich Town in 2014 and then Peterborough United the next year.
Collison, who won 17 Wales caps, was forced to retire in February 2016 at the age of 27 because of a knee injury.
"It feels fantastic... to come back in a coaching capacity is really exciting," Collison told West Ham TV.
"Obviously I have many great memories with the club and I've been through an awful lot, some good times and some bad times."
Collison already has experience coaching Peterborough's youth team and revealed on Thursday that he has achieved the Uefa A licence.
"Please to say I am now a Uefa A licensed coach. Massive thanks to the mentors @FAWCoachEd. It's been a great journey," he said on Twitter.
The announcement came just three months before Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova are due to be released from prison. They were jailed in 2012.
The verdict did not include proof that they were motivated by hatred towards a social group, the Supreme Court said.
The court also ignored their status as mothers with young children, it said.
The pair are serving their sentences in separate penal colonies a long way east of Moscow.
In August 2012 they were found guilty of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" for performing an anti-Kremlin protest song in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
A third protester, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was given the same jail term but was released on appeal in October last year. Her sentence was suspended because she had not performed the protest song with the others, which condemned President Vladimir Putin. Their song implored the Virgin Mary to "throw Putin out".
On Monday Mr Putin submitted an amnesty bill to parliament which could, according to Russian media, lead to the release of the Pussy Riot women and the 30 Greenpeace environmental protesters currently on bail in Russia.
Investigators suspect natural gas as the cause of the blast at Minnehaha Academy in the city of Minneapolis.
Rescuers plucked three people from the roof after the explosion, which set part of the building ablaze.
Medics said three people were in a critical condition, four in serious condition and two had "minor trauma".
The Minneapolis Fire Department initially said one fatality was reported, but later said that death was unconfirmed.
Assistant Fire Chief Brian Tyner told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that a "search and rescue mission" is on for two people.
"Our hopes are that they are not in there," he said, referring to the smoking mound of rubble.
The Grade I listed buildings at Cannington Court have been restored over the past three years.
Staff will use the base to develop skills in smart metering, new nuclear projects, finance and human resources.
Chief executive officer Vincent de Rivaz, said: "We are committed to developing the new skills and ideas to build a low-carbon society."
Cannington Court is owned by Bridgwater College and has been leased to EDF Energy.
When it is not used by EDF staff, the college will make use of the facilities for its students.
EDF has used sustainable energy sources, such as ground source heat pumps and solar panels, to provide 50% of the building's power.
At the scene, BBC business correspondent, Dave Harvey:
On the face of it, a new training centre for a multi-national company is not big news.
For the staff and the managers, it was certainly a big day in Cannington, as the French chief exec drove into Somerset with a government minister to do the honours. But for the rest of us?
Well the opening of EDF's new national training centre is significant, for two reasons. One, it underlines the company's commitment to Somerset. As Vincent de Rivaz told me, they want to bring staff from Scotland, Suffolk and the South East to learn nuclear technology in Cannington.
It matters also because it demonstrates how confident EDF was that Hinkley C would be approved. Vincent de Rivaz approved the multimillion-pound hub four years ago, before Hinkley C even had planning permission. He knew there were hurdles, but he never doubted it would go ahead.
We are now told Hinkley C's final investment decision, the absolutely last green light, will come before Christmas. Mr de Rivaz is clearly losing no sleep over that decision.
Cannington Court was also previously a Catholic industrial school for boys and an agricultural college.
Last month, EDF Energy confirmed it had reached an agreement with Chinese state-run energy firm China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) on their level of investment for a nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point.
Although CGN has confirmed it will pay £6bn towards the cost, EDF has not yet announced its final investment decision.
Once this is confirmed the nuclear build will go ahead but, due to the long delays in the project, the plant will not be generating power in 2023 as initially planned.
Anti-nuclear campaigners say the nuclear build deal is over-priced and will result in higher electricity bills for consumers. They also say nuclear power is unsafe and unsustainable.
The Exiles have applied to groundshare at Brentford FC's planned new stadium.
The Madejski Stadium looks set to continue as Irish's "home ground" until the Lionel Road site in Brentford is completed - hoped to be in August 2019.
"It's very difficult for us to make ends meet renting a stadium off Reading FC," Casey told BBC Radio Berkshire.
"We have to look at it from a commercial side of things," the former Exiles second row added. "Where rugby is going at the moment, for us to be able to compete, we have to generate much more revenue.
"The best way to do that is to get more bums on seats and having a better deal with the stadium we play at."
Irish, who are looking to return to the Premiership at the first attempt this season, are contracted to play at the Madejski Stadium until 2025-26, but the deal does contain a break clause.
Hounslow Borough Council granted the club a licence in February to play rugby at Lionel Road, but construction of the planned 20,000-capacity stadium is yet to begin.
"We've been very upfront with the supporters that we're exploring all the options and the potential to play in London back to our roots," Casey said.
"We're in discussions with Brentford, but as yet nothing has been finalised. We'll let our supporters know every step of the way."
Ms Shoesmith was sacked after a damning report into the 2007 death of Peter Connelly, known as Baby P, who was subjected to months of abuse.
The payments, previously established to be a six-figure sum, were confirmed in the London council's accounts.
But Ms Shoesmith told the BBC: "This is not a figure I recognise."
She added: "I have made a confidential agreement with Haringey that prevents me giving the actual figures."
However, the council's draft accounts for 2013-2014 show Ms Shoesmith was awarded £377,266 for salary, fees and allowance, £217,266 in compensation for loss of office, and £84,819 for employer pension contributions.
Peter Connelly had more than 50 injuries, despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over eight months.
Baby Peter's mother, Tracey Connelly, her boyfriend, Steven Barker, and his brother, Jason Owen, were jailed in May 2009 for causing or allowing the child's death.

▶ Sharon Shoesmith on child protection
Ms Shoesmith was sacked in December 2008 by the then children's secretary Ed Balls.
She claimed she had been unfairly dismissed and the Court of Appeal ruled in her favour in 2011, saying she had been "unfairly scapegoated".
Haringey Council previously revealed it had spent £196,000 fighting Ms Shoesmith's case for unfair dismissal.
The compensation package is more than the minimum suggested by senior judge Lord Neuberger in the 2011 ruling.
He gave the opinion Ms Shoesmith was entitled to a minimum of three months' salary plus pensions contributions, which would have amounted to about £33,000.
However, last year a government source told BBC Newsnight the cost to Haringey Council could be as high as £600,000.
In a statement, the local authority confirmed it had reached a settlement with Ms Shoesmith.
It said: "The terms of the settlement are confidential. We are unable to comment further on this matter."
Kerry Underwood, an employment lawyer, said confidential settlements like Ms Shoesmith's "should not be allowed" when they involve public money.
Such payouts should also be subject to extra scrutiny, he added.
"When local authorities are cutting back hard then it should go back to tribunal or court to be approved," Mr Underwood said.
"That would not cost a lot of money, it would be a relatively short hearing."
Llandudno Magistrates' Court heard how a young girl saw the kitten in the water and tried to save it.
Richard Thomas Davies, 32, of Cae Mawr, Llandudno, Conwy county, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to an animal last summer.
The court heard his actions were "horrific and callous".
The prosecution said the kitten had been promised to a girl who was "very upset" when seen by police.
Court chairman Brian Cossey told Davies: "We are appalled by what we have heard. You probably traumatised a very young vulnerable person."
Davies was given a 12-week suspended jail term and told he must take part in alcohol treatment for a year and rehabilitation.
He was also banned from keeping any animal for five years and ordered to pay £50 compensation and £735 costs.
University President Christopher Eisgruber has agreed to consider their demands after protests.
The School of Public and International Affairs and a dormitory at the Ivy League university are named for Wilson.
As US president, he led progressive initiatives but supported segregation.
Mr Eisgruber said he was thankful for the "willingness of the students to work with us to find a way forward".
Racial segregation, which mostly took place in Southern US states, was legal policy during his presidency from 1913 to 1921.
Wilson served as president of New Jersey's Princeton University from 1902 to 1910.
He was then elected as president, leading the country during World War I and championing American membership in the League of Nations - a forerunner to the United Nations.
The Black Justice League lead the protesters, who have called for the university to both remove Wilson's name from the international affairs school and his name and photograph from other public spaces on campus.
University officials, as part of a signed agreement with students, said they would consider removing a mural of Wilson on campus, start conversations about his legacy of racism and increase cultural competency training for Princeton faculty.
The protests come at a time when universities across the US are grappling with race relation and diversity issues.
Anne-Marie Slaughter, a former Princeton professor and State Department official, wrote on her Twitter account that talking about Wilson's complexity is a better choice than removing his likeness from campus altogether.
"Human complexity. All our idols have feet of clay. All our heroes have dark sides, but they can also do [great] things," she wrote on Twitter.

Ahead of the last-16, first leg tie, Mourinho said: "It's hard for me to believe we are going to play on that field - if you can call it a field.
"I don't know which team to play."
Uefa told BBC Sport the pitch "may not be in perfect condition, but has been deemed playable" following a pitch inspection on Wednesday.
"The match will go ahead as scheduled," a spokesperson added.
Mourinho drew comparisons with the quagmire that saw United's pre-season friendly against Manchester City in Beijing called off.
"In a very similar pitch in the summer in China, we and Manchester City decided not to play. But it looks like we have to play."
The Portuguese manager says the pitch could affect his team selection. Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is available after missing two games with a hamstring injury, but now Mourinho does not know whether to risk him.
"I don't know what team to play, really. I don't know if Henrikh Mkhitaryan is going to play, I don't know," said Mourinho.
In December, Mourinho was angered by Uefa making United play the Europa League group-stage decider at Zorya Luhansk on a frozen pitch.
Asked about his latest grievance he said: "I just had a quick contact with one gentleman from Uefa when I was looking at the pitch and when I told him about my concerns, the gentleman just told me, 'The players are insured, if something happens no problem'."

Navalny was imprisoned for five years for embezzlement from a timber firm. He had denied the charges, saying the trial was politically motivated.
The EU said the verdict posed "serious questions" about Russian law, while the US said it was "deeply disappointed".
Later, police detained dozens of protesters following scuffles in Moscow, St Petersburg and other cities.
Thousands took to the streets for protests which continued late into the evening.
In Kirov, where the trial was held, at least two Navalny supporters were arrested after the verdict and sentence were announced.
By Bridget KendallDiplomatic correspondent, BBC News
In the last year or so Alexei Navalny had become probably Vladimir Putin's most prominent critic.
And his apparent sympathy for nationalist sentiments, reflected in his infamous jibes at the expense of non-Russian migrants, while upsetting liberals, would have worried the Kremlin.
Not only is he young and vigorous and an effective user of social media, he is also a talented orator. If ever he gained access to mainstream Russian media - and crucially, Russian state television - he could appeal to the same strata of society Mr Putin needs to maintain his hold on Russian politics.
One can be sure that Navalny, who made his reputation through whistle-blowing activities as a lawyer, will use every avenue to appeal against his sentence. Even if he is unsuccessful, a life behind bars will not entirely silence him. The activities of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, an earlier political opponent of the Kremlin who ended up with two long sentences, have shown that in today's Russia it is still possible to be heard from inside prison.
But once the appeals are exhausted, today's verdict bars Navalny from political office. He has already withdrawn from the race to become mayor of Moscow. The Kremlin will hope the outcome of this trial will in effect sideline him from the frontline of Russian politics.
The 37-year-old is a leading campaigner against President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party, and regularly blogged about corruption allegations.
He came to public attention when he inspired mass protests against the Kremlin and President Putin in December 2011.
Before he was handcuffed and led away, Navalny urged his supporters to continue his anti-corruption struggle, tweeting: "Don't sit around doing nothing."
Later it emerged that he could be temporarily freed until the sentence comes into force in 10 days' time, or pending an appeal.
Navalny had recently registered his candidacy for the next mayor of Moscow, and Interfax news agency quotes the head of his election headquarters as saying he will take part in the September poll if he remains free.
But Russian officials say if the verdict does come into force, he will be barred from running in any future election.
Navalny was found guilty of heading a group that embezzled timber worth 16m rubles ($500,000; £330,000) from the Kirovles state timber company while working as an adviser to Kirov's governor Nikita Belykh.
The prosecution had asked for a six-year jail sentence, but judge Sergei Blinov decided on five years, and said there were no extenuating circumstances that would warrant keeping Navalny out of prison.
Navalny's co-accused, Pyotr Ofitserov, was also found guilty, and given a four-year jail sentence.
State television has only shown limited interest in the process despite Navalny's prominence, but online the trial has been followed extensively.
The BBC's Moscow correspondent Daniel Sandford says that when the sentence was handed down, there were tears from Navalny's supporters and an explosion of anger on the social networking sites that he has used so effectively.
Anti-Putin activist and former cabinet minister Boris Nemtsov told reporters the trial was "completely fabricated from start to finish, and even the judge could not say what the reason for the crime was".
Jailed former oil executive and Putin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky said the conviction was "predictable and unavoidable", according to the independent Ekho Moskvy website.
"There is nothing unusual for the government's opponents to be convicted of crimes in Russia," he added.
The last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, said using courts to punish political opponents was "unacceptable".
In a statement posted on his charity's website, he said: "Everything I know about this case... unfortunately confirms we do not have independent courts."
The US ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul, said: "We are deeply disappointed in the conviction of Navalny and the apparent political motivations in this trial."
A spokesman for the EU's top foreign policy official, Catherine Ashton, said the embezzlement charges were unsubstantiated, and that Navalny's jailing posed "serious questions as to the state of the rule of law in Russia".
Profile: Alexei Navalny
A thorn in Putin's side
A spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the trial had "raised doubts about whether criminal justice was the main motive".
"Five years in prison appears disproportionate, given the alleged crime," Steffen Seibert added.
Russian rights group Memorial said the country "now has one more political prisoner", while Amnesty International's Europe and Central Asia director, John Dalhuisen, said in a statement: "This was a parody of a prosecution and a parody of a trial."
But the Kremlin denies that Mr Putin uses the courts for political ends, and the judge rejected Navalny's claim the trial was politically motivated.
Pro-government analyst Sergei Markov said many Navalny supporters "realise deep in their souls that the court has proven in a normal way that Navalny was a thief".

He was a prolific writer, toured extensively and released his last album days before he died.
We take a look at the David Bowie's career in numbers - from world tours to numbers of platinum-selling albums.
Sources: Google maps; tour dates from Wikipedia
David Bowie propelled himself to international superstardom with his epic theatrical Ziggy Stardust tour, which took in the UK, the US and Japan, with approaching 200 shows over 18 gruelling months from January 1972.
At the tour's climax in July 1973 at London's Hammersmith Odeon Bowie announced that "this is the last show we'll ever do" to the astonishment of devoted fans.
While Stardust was no more, Bowie's limitless capacity for genre-hopping and self-reinvention was just beginning, and his appetite for touring in each of his many guises continued unabated - with periodic pauses - until nearly the turn of the millennium.
The Heathen tour of 2002 was comparatively modest in scale by Bowie's standards, but still included four transatlantic trips, while the A Reality tour from 2003 to 2004 was his biggest since Ziggy Stardust.
It would also prove to be his last.

Shelley Saxton-Cooper, 45, and her husband Simon were found inside a bedroom at the home in Riddings, Derbyshire.
The building partly collapsed after the blast and subsequent fire on Sunday.
Post-mortem examinations have yet to take place but Mrs Saxton-Cooper was wounded before the blast, police said.
It is not believed anyone else was involved, Derbyshire police said.
The couple has not been formally identified but police said they believe the bodies are those of Mr and Mrs Saxton-Cooper.
Ch Supt Sunita Gamblin said: "We believe that Shelley was wounded before the explosion and fire and we are treating her death as murder.
"We're still unable to say how either she or her husband died as post mortem examinations haven't been completed."
Forensic experts remain on scene investigating the cause of the fire, she added.
Emergency services declared a major incident after neighbours reported hearing a loud bang at about 07:30 BST on Sunday.
But they had to wait for the building to be declared safe after the fire destroyed much of the roof.
Jayne Titchmarsh, who lives two doors away, said the blast was "like a loud thunder."
"I ran to the window and saw debris coming down across the window and there were flames on the front," she said.
"I just couldn't believe it. The fire really took off. Everyone was shouting 'get out, get out' and I just ran with my son because we thought it was going to catch light.
"It was just really frightening. I thought it might spread."
A pet dog which escaped the blast is being looked after by relatives of the couple.
The suspects, both 16, are accused of the murder of Duran Junior Kaijama, who died following an incident in Dagenham on 12 November.
They are also charged with attempted murder in relation to another 16-year-old who was taken to hospital with stab injuries.
Duran, found with a stab wound in Wyhill Walk, later died in hospital.
Police said the charged teenagers will both appear at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
Another 16-year-old boy appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on Friday, also charged with Duran's murder and attempted murder.
He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey at a date to be set.
The decomposing carcasses were discovered near Bundaberg, Queensland, by a member of the public.
Queensland's Police Minister Jo-Ann Miller said the discovery was "totally sickening".
It comes weeks after a scandal erupted over the illegal use of live bait to train Australian greyhounds for racing.
The investigation, broadcast by ABC Four Corners in February, showed live possums, pigs and rabbits being tied to lures to be chased and killed by dogs at one facility.
A number of trainers have been suspended in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, while six Queensland trainers were issued with lifetime bans from the sport.
The chairman of Greyhound Racing Victoria and the entire board of NSW Greyhound Racing also resigned.
A spokesman for the RSPCA said the dogs found in Bundaberg were believed to have been killed before the Four Corners report was broadcast.
Michael Beatty told Fairfax media there had "always been a lot of wastage in the greyhound industry".
"The indications are that these may just be young dogs that didn't have the speed, basically. But that's really all we know," he said.
Ms Miller told ABC News that such "sickening" cruelty would not be tolerated in Queensland.
The head of Racing Queensland, Darren Condon, said he had not had any indication of "a mass dumping of dogs", Fairfax reports.
He said the organisation would assist the police and take "the appropriate response."

Parkes left National Three South West side Brixham to take over at Albion after Graham Dawe was sacked.
"I've realised that the job requires more time and commitment than I am able to give as I have also got a business to run," Parkes told BBC South West.
Under his leadership, Albion won 10 of their 14 National One matches and are third in the table.
"I've loved my time as coach at the club and I'm happy that I've been able to assemble a good squad of local lads who have performed well this season," he added.
"I wish the players and the club the best of luck for the rest of the season and look forward to hopefully seeing Albion back in the Championship in the near future."
Former prop Parkes played for Albion in two spells, once for a short period in the 1990s and then from 2000-2005.
He also spent time at Exeter Chiefs and Cornish Pirates, as well as playing one game for Bath in 2006.
Tighter school budgets mean "you lose and lack in quality", said Andreas Schleicher, boss of the PISA global education rankings.
His comments came amid growing concern among educationalists about school funding shortages in England.
Ministers said it was "incorrect" to say they were making cuts.
"If you take the same system and you take money out of it you lose and lack in quality. I think there's no question around it," Mr Schleicher, told the Times Educational Supplement (TES).
In December, the National Audit Office warned that schools in England were facing real terms cuts.
And head teachers have been warning about having to cut school hours, governors have threatened to refuse to sign off budgets and grammar school leaders have said they might have to start charging parents.
Last week, heads were angered when it was revealed that £384m earmarked for converting schools into academies last year had been taken back by the Treasury.
And a government plan to overhaul how school funding is allocated, which is intended to resolve long-standing anomalies in levels of funding, will also risk cuts in most schools, according to teachers' unions.
Mr Schleicher, education director of the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development, which runs the PISA rankings, told the TES that in high performing education systems like China, parents and government prioritised spending on education children.
"They invest in the future," he said. "The UK has already spent the money on consumption today, that's where the debt crisis came from.
"It's a value choice of societies to make. Education really is an important choice; that is the future.
"The school system today is your economy tomorrow, and that is something I worry about when governments have an attitude of. 'Oh well, let's cut some corners here'."
The latest PISA ranking, published in December, showed the UK lagging behind, having made little progress since the previous set of results, published three years previously.
The rankings, based on tests taken by 15-year-olds in more than 70 countries, showed the UK not only behind top performers such as Singapore and Finland but also trailing Vietnam, Poland and Estonia.
England had the strongest results in the UK - but they were described at the time as "flat in a changing world".
At the time, Mr Schleicher raised concerns that teacher shortages were "a major bottleneck" to raising standards.
In response to his latest comments, a Department for Education spokesman said the government had protected core schools' funding "and it is now at a record level - more than £40bn this year".
The spokesman said these figures meant it was "incorrect to say that we are taking money out of the system".
"We recognise, however, that schools are facing cost pressures, which is why we will continue to provide advice and support to help them use their funding in cost effective ways, including improving the way they buy goods and services, so‎ they get the best possible value for their pupils."
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) concluded that new phone-based apps could show customers which banks may offer the best account.
Banks will also have to set maximum monthly fees for unarranged overdrafts.
But consumer group Which? said: "It is questionable whether these measures will be enough."
The CMA decided against a cross-industry cap, leaving individual banks to set their own charges.
Alasdair Smith, chair of the CMA's retail banking investigation, told the Today programme: "Heavy-handed regulation would run the risk of reducing the availability of unarranged overdrafts."
Alex Neill, director of policy and campaigns at Which?, said: "It is disappointing that the monthly charge cap is not actually a cap and banks will be allowed to continue to charge exorbitant fees for so-called unauthorised overdrafts, rather than protect those customers that have been identified as among the most vulnerable."
The CMA said there would be other measures to encourage people to switch accounts.
Mr Smith said: "The reforms we have announced today will shake up retail banking for years to come, and ensure that both personal customers and small businesses get a better deal from their banks.
"Our reforms will increase innovation and competition in a sector whose performance is crucial for the UK economy."
Under what the CMA calls its "Open Banking programme", banks will be required to share their customer data with third-party app providers.
Individual customers will have to give their consent before this happens.
It will enable customers to see information about prices, standards and the location of High Street branches.
Above all it will allow consumers to see which bank is cheapest, given their particular pattern of borrowing.
Mr Smith said: "Our central reform is the Open Banking programme to harness the technological changes which we have seen transform other markets.
"We want customers to be able to access new and innovative apps which will tailor services, information and advice to their individual needs."
However, Andrew Tyrie MP, chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, said: "The CMA is relying on the rolling out of new technology to do the heavy lifting on competition. But many customers will not have the tools or skills to do this. Customers are also - understandably - wary of the data-sharing required for this to be effective."
Diane Coyle , Professor of Economics at the University of Manchester, questioned whether the new measures would increase the rate of switching.
"There's a lot of reliance being placed on more information, but consumers will need to give all of their transaction information to third-part providers, and there's the trust question ... do you really want another party to be able to see all the transactions that you make in your bank account and be able to tell other potential competitors about that?" she told the BBC.
Meanwhile the banking industry welcomed the emphasis on new technology.
Anthony Browne, chief executive of the British Bankers Association, said: "Customers and businesses have already found digital banking hugely convenient and have taken advantage of mobile technology that is allowing us to bank round the clock. We are pleased the CMA has reflected that in its recommendations."
However, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) warned about the dangers of sharing data.
Suren Thiru, head of economics and business finance at the BCC, said the CMA should "tread carefully in the sharing of data by finance providers via the Open Banking programme, to ensure that businesses retain control over who has access to their data - otherwise any trust between lenders and businesses could be destroyed".
All the banks will be required to introduce a Maximum Monthly Charge (MMC) - set by themselves - to limit the costs of an unarranged overdraft.
At the moment most banks cap overdraft fees, but then add on interest payments.
The MMC will include debit interest - typically charged at up to 20% a year - and unpaid item fees.
The CMA said this would make different bank accounts easier to compare, and cut through the complexities of overdraft charges.
The CMA also ordered new measures to encourage more people to switch their accounts to other providers.
It said only 3% of personal customers move their accounts each year. Recent figures show the number of people switching actually going down.
As a result there will be:
Banks will also be required to send customers text alerts, whenever they go overdrawn - something which most banks already do.

The European Parliament will vote on priorities for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) on Wednesday.
BBC News explains what's at stake for your steak.

Richter, widely regarded as the world's greatest living artist, has unveiled eight paintings dedicated to Part.
And Part has composed a choral work to be performed alongside the paintings.
The pair launched the partnership at the Whitworth gallery, which was named the UK's museum of the year last week.
They were introduced and encouraged to work together by Alex Poots, artistic director of the Manchester International Festival.
Richter is showing eight paintings from two new series: Birkenau, based on photographs of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in World War Two; and Doppelgrau (Double Grey), which have different shades of grey on glass.
Earlier this year, one of the 83-year-old German's paintings sold for more than £30m - a record for a living artist. He had a major retrospective at the Tate Modern in London in 2011.
In response to Richter's art, the 79-year-old Estonian composer wrote a haunting 95-second choral piece titled Drei Hirtenkinder aus Fatima.
"It is very exciting for me and an honour that our works will converge," Part said. "As different as they may seem, they must be somehow related."
The work will be sung in the gallery by the 14-member Estonian choir Vox Clamantis until Saturday, and then by community choirs from Manchester until 19 July.
Curator Hans-Ulrich Obrist, who helped arrange the meeting between Richter and Part, said they had "a great interest in each other's work".
He said: "We found out that they not only like each other's work a lot but they also got along really well and there are many biographical parallels.
"They were born more or less the same time, they both lived in the east [of Europe], they both experienced the Second World War and so on."
Part initially said he was not intending to write any new music at that time.
"And then all of a sudden like a miracle, not only did Gerhard dedicate his work to Arvo and create this amazing new work, but also Arvo broke the news that he had written music, which is this piece," Obrist said.
"The key idea was to bring these two aspects together."
The 28-year-old American became only the second player in history to average a triple-double for an entire season.
He took the award over Houston Rockets guard James Harden and San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard.
Golden State forward Draymond Green was named the best defensive player after winning the NBA title.
Westbrook has had a record-breaking season becoming the first player since Oscar Robertson in 1962 to average a triple-double across the season.
He also set the new standard by recording 42 triple-doubles, one better than the former single-season mark set by Robertson.
And he made NBA history scoring the highest ever triple-double with 57 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists against Orlando Magic.
"It was obviously an amazing season for me but without these guys and the rest of our guys that are not here, none of this would be possible," Westbrook said.
"So this award is not for me. This is for all you guys and I am very thankful to have you guys in my corner. You guys are my brothers for life."
A triple-double means a player has recorded a double-digit number in three of five statistical categories - points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
Before the season critics had doubted whether Westbrook would continue to thrive following the departure of former MVP Kevin Durant - who left Thunder in the off-season.
Durant went on to secure his first NBA title with Golden State, but despite the loss, Westbrook-led Thunder recorded 47 wins, just eight fewer than the previous campaign.
Among the night's other recipients at the first-ever NBA Awards, Mike D'Antoni was named Coach of the Year after leading Houston to 55 wins in his first season.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon was named Rookie of the Year, while Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon earned the Sixth Man Award for his work off the bench as a substitute.
Bento, 45, had been in charge since 2010 but failed to steer his side out of the group stages at this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
The Portuguese Football Federation say his replacement will be announced soon, though it gave no date.
Portugal's second Euro 2016 qualifier is against Denmark next month, after they play France in a friendly.
Under Bento, Portugal reached the last four at Euro 2012 before losing a penalty shootout to eventual winners Spain.
They qualified for the World Cup by beating Sweden in a play-off but were thrashed 4-0 by Germany in their opener and were eliminated at the group stage.

England's Willett was the only player in the top 29 to shoot an over-par round - one-over 73 - on the final day.
Paraguay's Zanotti eagled the last as he won on 19 under after carding a bogey-free nine-under 63 in Malaysia to win his second European Tour event.
American David Lipsky, failed to birdie the last to force a play-off.
Lipsky had led by three shots with four to play but needed to birdie the last two holes after Zanotti, who started the day six off the lead, rolled in a 10-foot putt on the 18th to set the clubhouse target.
He picked up a shot on the 17th but was unable to get up and down from a greenside bunker on the par-five last and had to settle for second, with Austria's Bernd Wiesberger a further shot back.
England's James Morrison and Tommy Fleetwood were both tied 12th on nine under, with Morrison going around the Saujana Golf and Country Club course in 68.
Scotland's Marc Warren - who had led after the first round - finished on eight under, and England's Lee Westwood and Robert Rock ended on seven under.
Cromarty Firth Port Authority wants permission to transfer millions of tonnes of crude oil at sea in the Moray Firth.
Campaigners around the Moray Firth and nearby Cromarty Firth oppose the plan.
CFPA has been asked to withdraw an application it made in 2015 for the work but is expected to make a new one.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency has asked CFPA to withdraw the application for a licence for the ship-to-ship transfers, according to Ms Forbes, MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch.
The port authority said earlier this month that it was modifying its application "in response to the concerns raised over the past 12 months".
It insists the transfers can be carried out safely and protecting the environment was of paramount importance.
Campaigners dressed in dolphin and shark costumes held a demonstration outside the Scottish Parliament earlier this month.
The decision to relieve the 55-year-old of his duties came hours after a 4-2 Championship win against Leeds.
"He can count himself unlucky to have lost his job with the team just one point away from the top six," Forest chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi said.
Al Hasawi later added on his Twitter account: "Made contact with PL manager tonight. Meeting Thursday."
Al Hasawi had earlier declared that Forest would be "looking to bring in an ambitious manager with Premier League experience", stating that "with the January transfer window approaching, we feel it's the right time to make a change".
Former Republic of Ireland international O'Driscoll was appointed on 19 July, days after Steve Cotterill was sacked.
He leaves Forest with them in eighth place, having collected 36 points from 24 games.
In total, Forest won 10 games during his time in charge, drawing nine and losing seven.
However, they never won more than two games in a row under him, and Al Hasawi cited that lack of consistency as one of the reasons behind the decision.
"We have a responsibility to look to the future for this great club because we have huge ambitions for it," he said.
One of the Reds' co-owners, Abdulaziz Al-Hasawi, was at the City Ground on Wednesday for the first time since he and his family took over in July. One can't help but feel that having seen Sean O'Driscoll's Forest play some of their best football of the season in demolishing Leeds that the decision to replace the manager had already been taken. A baffling decision to some with the side so close to the play-offs, but inconsistency appears to have been O'Driscoll's downfall. After recent defeats to Hull and Watford, and a fortunate draw at Brighton, an improved display and win against Leeds couldn't save the likeable O'Driscoll. The owners say they intend to appoint an ambitious manager with Premier League experience, with the likelihood being that someone has already been lined up to replace O'Driscoll.

"We knew when we bought the club in the summer that it would take time for the players we bought in to settle but that process has taken longer than we anticipated.
"We feel we have developed a really strong squad of players but are still searching for consistency in terms of team performance, underlined by the fact that we have not won more than two games in succession in the Championship this season."
O'Driscoll spent five months as first-team coach at Forest at the start of the year, before leaving to take charge of Crawley in May.
He was with the League One side for only two months before returning to the City Ground as manager, signing a three-year contract.
His task was to build a side capable of challenging for promotion to the Premier League and he made a number of high-profile signings, including Simon Cox from West Bromwich Albion,Henri Lansbury from Arsenal and Billy Sharp on loan from Southampton.
Shortly after the news of O'Driscoll's sacking was confirmed, Cox wrote on Twitter: "So we win 4-2 and the manager gets the sack. Gutted for Sean, pleasure to work under. Wonder who will walk through the door next."
Sharp also took to Twitter to give his reaction, writing: "Gutted that ruins a decent day."
Alt News website reported on Wednesday that the ministry used the picture in its annual report to show that it had installed floodlights in border areas.
But the website said the picture was taken in 2006 by Spanish photographer Javier Moyano of the Ceuta enclave.
The ministry has reportedly ordered an inquiry into the "embarrassing gaffe".
Edited Modi flood photo sparks mockery
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has faced similar online mockery in the past for using wrong or photo-shopped pictures in official press releases and reports.
India's state-run Press Information Bureau in 2015 tweeted an obviously edited image of Mr Modi surveying deadly Chennai floods.
In the latest gaffe, the home ministry included the picture in its report which was published on its website.
After Alt News reported the error, many Indians took to Twitter to mock the ministry.
The NDTV website reported that Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi had demanded an explanation from officials.
"If it's a mistake by the ministry, we will apologise," he said.
The ministry has been installing floodlights in border areas to check smuggling and infiltration.
In its annual report, the ministry said it had floodlit 647km (402 miles) of India's border with Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Officials said it was unclear how a wrong picture made its way into the annual report.
Stephen Port allegedly plied them with the drug at his home in east London so he could have sex with his victims while they were unconscious.
The Old Bailey was told the 41-year-old left their bodies in or near a churchyard and planted suicide notes and fake bottles of the drug on them.
He denies 29 charges, including four murders and seven rapes.
The offences are in connection with attacks on 12 men over three-and-a-half years.
The victims were: Anthony Walgate, 23, originally from Hull, Gabriel Kovari, 22, from Lewisham, Daniel Whitworth, 21, from Gravesend, Kent, and Jack Taylor, 25, from Dagenham, east London.
Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC said the defendant was attracted to smaller, boyish men he referred to as "twinks" who he would invite to his one-bed flat on Cooke Street in Barking.
The jury heard the accused lied to police about his involvement with the dead men. The bodies of all four victims were found near on in a churchyard about 400m from Mr Port's home.
Mr Rees said: "The prosecution say it is a case about a man - the defendant - who in the pursuit of nothing more than his own sexual gratification, variously drugged, sexually assaulted, and in four cases killed, young gay men he had invited back to his flat.
"We say all of the offending behaviour was driven by one main factor, namely the defendant's appetite for having sexual intercourse with younger, gay males while they were unconscious through drugs."
The court heard the accused drugged 11 of his victims by spiking their drinks or injecting substances into their bodies and he also filmed himself having sex with men while they were unconscious.
Mr Port used drugs, including poppers, Viagra, mephedrone, crystal meth and GHB, jurors were told.
Post-mortem examinations showed the victims had died from an overdose of GHB and the circumstances surrounding their deaths were "strikingly similar", the jury was told.
The prosecutor said the victims died soon after being invited to the accused's flat and three of them had GHB bottles "planted" on their bodies, with evidence of them being dragged to the spot where their bodies were found and "propped up in a sitting position".
Mr Rees said the accused was convicted of perverting the course of justice after making a false statement in the investigation into the death of his first alleged murder victim, Mr Walgate, by telling police he found the Middlesex University fashion student collapsed outside the communal entrance to his flat.
The court also heard Mr Port had made "lots of money" working as a male escort.
He met his first alleged rape victim in February 2012. The jury heard the 19-year-old was given red wine who later woke up to find himself naked with the accused having sex with him.
The court heard the next rape victim, in June 2014, was a Muslim man who does not drink or take drugs. He was "knocked out" by a cup of liquid and woke up lying naked on the floor, the trial heard.
Mr Port helped him to Barking station, where he collapsed. The accused told police they had both taken drugs.
Three weeks later the chef allegedly killed Mr Walgate and called 999 anonymously.
The trial continues.
Revellers had used the Find My iPhone app, which shows the location of a linked phone on laptops or other devices, Indio Police said.
And a suspect had then been "followed" through the site and detained.
Several phones had been returned immediately, the police added.
And the rest had been handed to lost property at the festival site.
Police had already dedicated extra resources to the festival after "chatter on social media" about missing iPhones, Sgt Dan Marshall told tech news site Gizmodo.
But "in this case, the fans came through".
Festival-goers have been advised to:
It comes as consumer rights group Which said backless booster seats will only be approved for use for children taller than 125cm and weighing more than 22kg under new rules set to be introduced.
But the government said talks are ongoing and there was no date as yet.
Existing rules say that children must use a child car seat until they are 12 years old or 135cm (4ft 5ins) tall.
If approved, any changes will apply to newly sold products, not child restraint systems which are already in use and adhere to existing safety standards.
Parents who use old booster seats that comply with the existing regulations will not be breaking the law if they continue to use them after any rule change, the Department for Transport spokesman said.
They will not be required to buy new booster seats to meet any rule change, he said.
The technical specifications for child car seats are set internationally by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
Height-based car seats, known as 'i-Size' seats, must be rear-facing until the child is over 15 months old.
A child can use a forward-facing car seat when they are over 15 months old.
Weight-based car seats must be rear-facing until the child weighs more than 9kg and after that the seat the child can use depends on their weight.
The Department for Transport works with representatives from other governments, the child restraint and vehicle manufacturing industries, and groups representing consumers on the specifications.
What is the law?
There are exceptions. For example, children can travel without a child car seat in a taxi or minicab if there is a fixed partition between the front and rear seats.
Reyaad Khan, 21, died on 21 August, along with another man, in a "precision airstrike" in Syria, the Prime Minister David Cameron said on Monday.
He said Khan was plotting "barbaric" attacks on UK soil and he was killed in an "act of self-defence".
The jihadist's death was first announced at the Jalalia mosque in Riverside.
It is the first time an RAF drone has been used to attack a British national in a country in which it is not at war.
Addressing MPs, Mr Cameron said: "Both Junaid Hussain and Reyaad Khan, were British nationals based in Syria who were involved in actively recruiting ISIL sympathisers and seeking to orchestrate specific and barbaric attacks against the west including directing a number of planned terrorist attacks right here in Britain, such as plots to attack high profile public commemorations, including those taking place this summer.
"We should be under no illusion, their intention was the murder of British citizens, so on this occasion we ourselves took action.
"In an act of self-defence, and after meticulous planning, Reyaad Khan was killed in a precision airstrike on 21 August by an RAF remotely operated aircraft while he was travelling in a vehicle in the area of Raqqa in Syria."
Following the announcement in the Commons, Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan said Khan's death was a "sad inevitability".
"But the house will have been surprised to find that the manner of his death has been by a drone strike against a British citizen in Syria and therefore there will be many questions that the house will have, and I will have as his constituency MP," he added.
Mr Brennan said he wanted Mr Cameron to explain the "nature of the threat" Khan posed.
The PM responded he would be as "forthcoming as I possibly can be".
He added: "When we're dealing with people who are producing such a tempo of potential terrorist attacks - attacks on police, attacks on members of the armed services attempted attacks on commemorations in our own country... we've got to take action... there's no other way of dealing with it than the route that we took."
Family friend Mohammed Islam said it was "shocking" news for the Riverside community where Reyaad Khan grew up.
Last year, former Cantonian High School and St David's College student Reyaad Khan appeared in a video along with another man from Cardiff urging others to join so-called Islamic State.
He was seen in the 13-minute IS propaganda video in June 2014 alongside his friend Nasser Muthana, also from Cardiff, and Abdul Raqib Amin from Aberdeen.
Parties in Bordj Bou Arreridj Province had been showing hijabs surrounding blank spaces alongside photos of male candidates.
On Tuesday the election authorities gave parties two days to display photos or be removed from the vote.
An official said the practice was illegal.
"This kind of encroachment is dangerous; it is not legal and it opposes all laws and traditions," said Hassan Noui of the Independent High Authority for Election Monitoring (HIISE).
"It is every citizen's right to know whom he will vote for."
He said at least five parties including the Socialist Forces Front (FFS) had not been showing female candidates' faces on posters.
The blank images have prompted debate inside Algeria.
One candidate, Fatma Tirbakh, from the National Front for Social Justice party in the eastern Ouargla Province, appeared as a blank female avatar on Ennahar TV to discuss the issue.
"Displaying my photo is important, I believe. But I come from a southern region. Honestly speaking, it is hugely conservative... it is because of this that my own photo is not used," she said.
"In all honesty, the family did force me not to show my photo on TV. But they do not have a problem with my face being on a poster," she said.
However no one in her family had a problem with her working as a politician representing people in parliament, she added.
Parties are obliged to field female candidates under a 2012 law requiring women to make up between 20% and 50% of candidates on electoral lists.
FFS official Hassen Ferli blamed the party's communications team in Bordj Bou Arreridj for the "regrettable" posters.
"The FFS vigorously condemns this practice which is incompatible with the party's values," he said in a statement carried on local media.
The party was committed to equality between men and women, the statement said.
Algeria is not the only country in which women running for parliament have had their faces concealed on election posters. In the 2011/2012 Egyptian parliamentary polls, Salafist parties used the image of a flower instead of the female candidates' actual photos.

A statement on the club's website highlighted the effects of the 718 attendance compared to the last home game against Montrose in August.
It read: "FYI [for your information] crowd increase of 125%. Gate receipt increase of 160%.
"Cafe/shop/add-ons increase of 165%. Once again thank you so much to everyone who attended."
Supporters of the League Two club and visiting fans were asked to fork out what they could afford for a ticket, with a minimum £1 entry.
Rovers, who knocked Motherwell out of the Scottish Cup at Hamilton's New Douglas Park, sit fifth in the league and their biggest gate this season at Cliftonhill before Saturday was 538 - against Queen's Park on 28 December.
Chairman John Devlin had previously told BBC Scotland: "Since I took over in September I've been looking at ways in which we can re-engage with the local community.
"I think a lot of potential football fans are put off by high pricing."
Devlin was inspired by a similar experiment at Brentford in December.
"We've looked at the type of support we would normally get at this time of year - coming after the Christmas and New Year holidays, when finances are tight," he added.
"We thought it was an ideal opportunity for such an initiative and basically see how it goes, to see if we can generate more interest."
The normal adult price of admission is £10, with concessions at £5 and under-16s at £2.

Boxing Day's 4-1 home defeat by West Ham left Swansea four points adrift of safety in the Premier League.
Bradley took training on Tuesday and could still be in charge against Bournemouth on New Yea's Eve, but Walsh believes the American should go.
"You just feel he's out of his depth," Walsh told BBC Radio Wales.
"He's not up to it, he's not aware of what needs to be going on.
"Yes, the players have to take a lot of responsibility but the buck stops with the man at the top. He's failed at what he's tried to achieve."
Swansea fans called for the American to be sacked during the defeat to West Ham, his seventh loss in 11 games since succeeding Francesco Guidolin in October.
Prior to the West Ham match, Bradley had admitted his future could depend on the outcome of the Boxing Day fixture and the home match with Bournemouth.
But after the loss against the Hammers, it is understood Swansea-based chairman Huw Jenkins is in touch with owners Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan in the USA.
Ex-Wales international Walsh, who spent two years at Swansea between 1982 and 1984, says American owners Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan need to replace their compatriot.
"I think this can only go one way and that would be relegation, so something has to be done," Walsh added.
"The American owners have given the American manager the chance and that's naïve to say the least.
"The owners have got to say 'we've given you an opportunity and it's not working.'
"They've got to get rid of Bob Bradley very, very quickly and bring somebody else in.
"The American owners have got to stand up, be counted and put their money where their mouth is and give someone the opportunity to see if they can drag Swansea out of the mire."
Another former Swansea City player, Owain Tudur Jones, also believes Bradley's future at the club is in doubt after defeat by the Hammers.
"The pressure is building on Bob Bradley," Jones told BBC 5 live.
"He's been very unfortunate to take over a side that is struggling but that's generally how managers get the job.
"If anything the record has worsened since he's been at the club."
The survey, carried out by market research agency, Millward Brown, showed 23% of those who intend to vote want to leave the EU, while 22% are still undecided.
The research was carried out last month and the results were released on Friday.
One thousand people were surveyed and of those 695 said they would vote.
The results also suggested that Catholics were twice as likely as Protestants to vote to stay in the EU.
The referendum on whether Britain should leave the EU will be held on 23 June.

Hornets midfielder Christian Kabasele tapped in from teenager Brandon Mason's low cross to put the Premier League side in front after 21 minutes.
Jerome Sinclair added a second after the break with a smart run and finish to score his first goal for the club.
Burton offered little response and were unable to muster a shot on target.
Watford have not won in the Premier League since 10 December when victory over Everton sent them seventh, but the Hornets are now closer to the relegation zone.
Short of form, confidence and players, boss Walter Mazzarri's injury concerns only deepened when goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes and left-back Jose Holebas were struck down by illness before kick-off and Craig Cathcart was forced off after 16 minutes.
But the depleted Hertfordshire outfit still had enough to overcome second-tier Burton Albion - who sit one point and one place above the Championship drop zone - to reach the fourth round for a fifth time in their past seven FA Cup campaigns.
The Brewers' main concern may also be on the injury front, as new signing Luke Varney was stretchered off wearing an oxygen mask after colliding with Watford goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon.
Watford's recent injury problems saw Mazzarri hand a first start to 18-year-old full back Mason, who had only previously had 22 minutes of senior football.
But the youngster made an instant impact when he fired a low ball across the six-yard box to give team-mate Kabasele a simple finish at the back post.
With more established strikers Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney unable to find the net, Watford will be encouraged by the performance and goal threat posed by former Liverpool prospect Sinclair.
The 20-year-old was given his second start of the season and was allowed time and space to score Watford's second of the game, before forcing Burton goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin into a save soon after.
Watford will hope to build on this win when they return to Premier League action on Saturday at home to Middlesbrough (15:00 GMT). Meanwhile, Burton host fellow Championship strugglers Wigan Athletic on the same day.
Watford head coach Walter Mazzarri: "I was very happy with the new faces. (Brandon) Mason played wonderfully on his full debut with an assist for the goal.
"Sometimes it's fundamental to see what we've got at home in our own house and make these young players grow so that we don't always have to go abroad and sign players for a crazy amount of money.
"It is a good win for a team not doing very well with results. This today will help with confidence for Premier League. It is very important to win, especially for our fans. We wanted to give them this satisfaction."
Burton Albion boss Nigel Clough: "Luke (Varney) is on his way to hospital. He took a nasty knock in the ribs. It was an innocuous challenge. There were was nobody at fault for it. Luke was struggling to catch his breath.
"He'll be checked out and hopefully he won't be out for too long. A whack in the ribs is horrible. It's very painful, but he was looked after superbly here at Watford.
"Right up until the second goal I though we were OK. We had two good chances, but that's been our story in the Championship - creating things but not quite finishing them off."

Benigno Aquino told the New York Times that the world must learn a lesson from 1938, when the UK and France allowed Hitler his claims to Czech territory.
China claims parts of the South China Sea which the Philippines disputes.
The spat is the latest in a war of words between China and its neighbours.
Mr Aquino called on the world to do more to support his country against China's claims to its nearby seas.
"At what point do you say: 'Enough is enough'? Well, the world has to say it. Remember that the Sudetenland was given in an attempt to appease Hitler to prevent World War II," Mr Aquino said.
The Sudetenland was part of what was then called Czechoslovakia before the UK and France agreed to allow Hitler to take it.
The comments quickly drew the ire of China's official state news agency Xinhua, which published an article calling Mr Aquino "ignorant".
The remarks "exposed his true colours as an amateurish politician, who was ignorant both of history and reality", the article said.
China claims ownership of large parts of the South China Sea, including the Spratly Islands and the Scarborough Shoal, which lie off the coast of the Philippines.
China says its claim stems from 2,000 years of historical convention, but the Philippines and Vietnam, among others, dispute this.
The remarks are the latest in a war of words between China and the other countries in the region with which it has territorial disputes.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe caused controversy at the economic forum in Davos last month, when he said that China and Japan were "in a similar situation" to Germany and Britain just before the outbreak of World War I.
He said that strong trade ties did not in themselves preclude the outbreak of war.
Mr Abe went on to criticise China's annual double-digit increase in military spending, saying it was a major source of instability in the region.
In response, Xinhua referred to Mr Abe as the "disgraced Japanese prime minister".
Cardiff West Labour MP Kevin Brennan told the prime minister: "The House will have surprised to find that the manner of his death has been by a drone strike against a British citizen in Syria."
Mr Brennan said there would be questions about what happened from MPs and the family. He asked Mr Cameron to be "as forthcoming as he can with explaining the nature of the threat that this 21-year-old man posed to the United Kingdom in the light of the action that he has outlined to the House today."
The prime minister said he would be as forthcoming as he could be but said he was restricted "because of operational sensitivities and national security reasons."
In his statement, he told MPs: "Both Junaid Hussain and Reyaad Khan, were British nationals based in Syria who were involved in actively recruiting ISIL sympathisers and seeking to orchestrate specific and barbaric attacks against the West including directing a number of planned terrorist attacks right here in Britain, such as plots to attack high profile public commemorations, including those taking place this summer."
The prime minister's official spokeswoman later made clear that the threat against commemorations included those that took place before the August 21 operation. Asked if the threat was against the royal family, she said: "The threat was against Britain and the security of the British people."
The prime minister insisted what he called a "precision airstrike" against Khan was "entirely lawful" although the government will not publish the attorney general's advice.

Mr Trump told reporters the process was "moving rapidly". The position requires Senate confirmation.
The White House was engulfed in turmoil after Mr Trump fired Mr Comey, citing his handling of the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while at the State Department.
Critics have accused the White House of trying to thwart Mr Comey's investigation into alleged Russian interference in the US election and any Moscow ties to Trump associates.
There are reportedly at least 14 candidates in the frame.
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe: The former FBI deputy director became second in command in January 2016. Before joining the FBI, he interned with the Department of Justice's criminal division while in law school and later worked at a Philadelphia law firm. Mr McCabe's wife, Jill, ran as a Democrat in Virginia for a state Senate seat in 2016 and received political donations from some Clinton allies.
He appeared to contradict the White House during testimony last week, telling a congressional panel the FBI investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the US election was "a highly significant investigation". He also said Mr Comey "enjoyed broad support within the FBI and still does to this day", casting doubt on Mr Trump's claim that the former FBI chief had lost the confidence of his staff.
Mike Rogers: The former Michigan congressman was endorsed by the FBI Agents Association, which represents thousands of current and former FBI agents. The former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is also an ex-FBI special agent and a veteran of the armed forces. The association described Mr Rogers as "someone capable of confronting the wide array of challenges facing our help ensure that the bureau remains the world's premiere law enforcement agency".
Alice Fisher: The defence lawyer was the first candidate interviewed at the justice department, according to US media reports. She ran the justice department's criminal division as an assistant attorney general under former president George W Bush and is currently a partner at a Washington law firm. Ms Fisher would be the first woman to lead the agency if selected.
Senator John Cornyn: The Texas Republican is the second highest-ranking member of the Senate. He was a state district judge for six years before he was elected to the Texas Supreme Court in 1990. He later served as the Texas attorney general before he was took office in the Senate in 2002.
Senator Trey Gowdy: The South Carolina lawmaker, 52, is remembered for his role in the congressional special investigation over the 2010 attack on a US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. Mr Gowdy oversaw the House Select Committee on Benghazi from 2014 to 2016, which led to the discovery of Mrs Clinton's use of a private email server. Mr Gowdy was a federal prosecutor from 1994 to 2000 in South Carolina and later a district attorney before he was elected to Congress in 2011.
Judge Michael Garcia: The former federal prosecutor serves as an associate judge on New York's highest state court. As a US attorney, he oversaw an investigation into a prostitution ring that prompted the resignation of then-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. He also led an investigation into alleged corruption in the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. His inquiry also aided a criminal investigation of Fifa, the world governing body of soccer, by US and Switzerland. The Latino judge was appointed to the court by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2016. He also was appointed as assistant secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by former President Bush in 2002.
Henry E Hudson: The US district judge in Virginia was appointed by former President Bush. He is best known for striking down a key provision of former President Barack Obama's healthcare law in 2010. The conservative judge also sentenced football star Michael Vick to nearly two years in federal prison for running a dog-fighting operation in Virginia in 2007.
Francis Townsend: Ms Townsend served as a security and counterterrorism adviser to the Bush administration. She was reportedly spotted at the White House on Monday afternoon before Mr Comey was fired and met Mr Trump last year at Trump Tower in New York when she was under consideration for a top administration role. The former federal prosecutor in New York climbed the ranks to become a senior intelligence official at the justice department and US Coast Guard in Washington. She would become the first female to lead the agency. However, she was one of dozens of national security veterans to sign an open letter calling Mr Trump a "fundamentally dishonest" candidate during the election campaign.
Adam Lee: The head of the FBI's office in Richmond, Virginia, returned to the justice department for a second interview on Saturday, according to US media.
William Evanina: He is the director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Paul Abbate: He currently serves as the executive assistant director for the FBI's Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch. He previously oversaw FBI field offices in Washington and Detroit and has been at the agency for more than 20 years.
Michael Anderson: The FBI special agent heads the agency's Chicago office.
Judge Michael Luttig: He is a former justice department lawyer who was appointed by President George HW Bush. He left the bench in 2006 to join Boeing, where he serves as general counsel. He was considered for two US Supreme Court vacancies, which were instead given to Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito.
Larry Thompson: He served as a deputy attorney general under the Bush administration from 2001 to 2003. He also was a federal prosecutor in Georgia and has held several senior roles at PepsiCo.
Ray Kelly: The former police commissioner led the New York Police Department (NYPD) for more than a decade. He created the first counterterrorism bureau in any police department in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and oversaw a marked drop in New York's crime. But under his leadership, the NYPD was scrutinised for its use of aggressive force and stop-and-frisk programme, which critics say disproportionately affected non-white residents.
John Suthers: The mayor of Colorado Springs was formerly the state's attorney general from 2005 to 2015. As a prosecutor he was one of several to sue the Obama administration during the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and he signed on to a legal challenge to defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which barred gay marriage. | The death of a woman whose body was found after an explosion which destroyed a house is being treated as murder, police have said.

They were reportedly caught as they were leaving the northern town of Arlit before dawn in five different vehicles.
The migrants - mainly men, with some women and a few children - are believed to be from Nigeria and Niger.
It comes days after 92 migrants were found to have died of thirst after two trucks broke down carrying them across the Sahara to Algeria.
Niger lies on a major migrant route between sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.
Those arrested on Saturday are now reportedly being arrested by police in Arlit.
The government announced on Friday a plan to close illegal camps in northern Niger - which it referred to as "ghettos" - and said those involved in trafficking migrants would be "severely punished".
The country has been holding three days of mourning after the bodies of 52 children, 33 women and seven men were discovered on Wednesday.
Another five from the same convoy had been found several days earlier by the army.
Most of the dead were from the southern Niger district of Kantche.
The government said in its statement on Friday that the tragedy was "the result of criminal activities led by all types of trafficking networks".
About 5,000 African migrants are said to be currently stranded in illegal camps in the northern town of Agadez alone.
Most of these migrants - having paid large sums of money to traffickers - are waiting to cross the hundreds of kilometres of desert into Libya or Algeria, from where they can take boats to Europe in the hope of a better life there.
Niger has said that migrants found to be in the illegal camps will be handed over to international aid agencies.
The head of the International Office for Migration in Niger, Abibatou Wane, has welcomed the action by the government but warned migrants should only be repatriated to their home countries on a voluntary basis.
Nigel Rowse, 59, put his hand on the woman's bottom and between her legs and told her he was in love with her.
Rowse, of Umberleigh, Devon, admitted sexual assault and received a five-month jail sentence, suspended for two years.
His victim said the assault had "destroyed her confidence".
Rachel Drake, prosecuting at Exeter Crown Court, said Rowse had touched the woman in the firm's store in the city in May last year.
She said the woman jumped and told Rowse to stop but he returned a short time later and repeated his behaviour.
"She told him he had problems and he replied 'I'm a dirty old perv and they ought to put something in my tea,'" said Miss Drake.
A disciplinary inquiry led to Rowse being sacked and the police being informed.
In a victim impact statement the woman said the assault made her feel like "a totally different person" and had caused her stress and anxiety.
Warren Robinson, defending, said the incident and its consequences had forced Rowse to reassess his behaviour and attitudes towards women.
Recorder Donald Tait told Rowse the stress he caused was "serious and significant".
"The woman felt unable to confide in anyone and felt trapped," Mr Tait said.
Graphic footage released by Animals Australia shows a cow being clubbed over the head five times.
The man, said to be a Vietnamese slaughterhouse worker, continues to hit the cow on the ground before it dies.
The government has said it is investigating but Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce ruled out an export ban.
The latest footage has been released a year after officials promised to investigate similar allegations about the treatment of Australian cattle in Vietnam.
Australia exported 227,563 cows to Vietnam in the 12 months to the end of April, according to the Australian Livestock Exporters' Council (Alec).
Animals Australia said just two of 13 slaughterhouses it visited in Vietnam met Australian requirements.
It also alleged that Australian cattle had been found in 11 non-accredited abattoirs, indicating the failure of traceability systems.
"Nobody can claim they didn't know this was happening - the exporters knew, the department knew and the minister knew," Lyn White of Animals Australia said.
Alec said it would suspend exports to the abattoirs under investigation.
It also said it would review its systems that oversee control and traceability, which would include ensuring that CCTV systems were working at abattoirs receiving Australian cattle.
Animals Australia exposed similar practices in Vietnam last year but says Alec failed to respond to its findings. The government said at the time it would investigate.
Alec boss Simon Crean said the latest footage was "inexcusable", the ABC reported.
Australia's live cattle export industry is estimated to be worth about A$800m (£415m) a year.
There have been numerous controversies over the treatment of cattle abroad.
In 2011, footage of cruel treatment in Indonesian abattoirs prompted the government to ban live cattle exports to that country, while exports to Egypt were suspended in similar circumstances in 2013.

Robinson, who on Friday completed the signing of defender Charles Dunne, confirmed Well recently rejected a Jambos bid for 20-year-old Cadden.
"The offer that was made was verging on laughable for someone of Chris's talent," Robinson said.
"The offer of £100,000? We will move on very quickly because it won't be something I will consider."
Scotland under-21 international Cadden has made 69 appearances for the Steelmen after making his debut in 2014, netting seven goals.
"It's football, isn't it?" Robinson added. "The other teams will try to get your players for as cheap as they can and we will try and sell them for as much as we can.
"But it doesn't warrant a discussion. Chris is a big, big part of our plans. He is one of the best young players in Scotland and there will be interest in him, no doubt.
"Chris's time will come when he will probably leave but it won't be for that kind of money and it won't be at this time.
"Chris isn't someone who is wanting to leave the club and race away anywhere else. His development is here, he will get better and better at our place.
"But it is a little bit frustrating when some of the perceived bigger clubs think they can come in and unsettle your players."
Well, meanwhile, confirmed the signing of former Blackpool and Oldham defender Dunne on a one-year deal.
The 24-year-old former Republic of Ireland under-21 international worked under Robinson at Oldham.
"We haven't seen the best of him yet as he's had a bit of a stop-start time with injury and he just needs to play football, so we are delighted to have him," the Motherwell manager said.
"He's strong, quick, and good in the air. He's definitely getting back to that form and he just needs someone to believe in him.
"I do need another right-sided centre-back/right-back, so we'll assess them after the games."
French defenders Cedric Kipre, a 20-year-old former Leicester player, and Bira Dembele, a 29-year-old former Barnet player, could feature as trialists for Motherwell in a friendly at Stirling Albion on Saturday alongside former Barnsley striker Shaun Tuton.
Motherwell are also understood to have made an enquiry about Peterborough striker Shaq Coulthirst, although any move would depend on other forwards leaving.
He named five people:
Fifteen years later, these men still form President Putin's core group and dominate the strategic heights of Russian government and big business:
This core group illustrates two important points about who runs Russia.
First, there has been continuity in terms of the personnel closest to Mr Putin. Real reshuffles are rare, and very few have been evicted from this core group.
Second, the heart of the leadership team is made up of allies who served with Mr Putin in the KGB, in 1990s St Petersburg, or both.
This core group also includes others whom the president trusts to implement major infrastructure projects, such as Arkady Rotenberg, one of those responsible for the Sochi Winter Olympics, as well as several regional figures and senior bureaucrats.
Many of these figures held senior positions even before Mr Putin's rise to power.
Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, formerly Minister of Emergency Situations, was a prominent party political figure in the second half of the 1990s and leader of the United Russia party from 2001-05.
Such figures convene in the security council, one of the most important organisations for co-ordinating high-level decision-making and resources.
At the same time, the Russian administrative system - the so-called vertical of power - does not function well: policy instructions are often implemented tardily and sometimes not at all, so others have important roles helping develop and implement projects.
One such individual is Yuri Trutnev, elected as a regional governor in 2000, and then appointed Minister for Natural Resources and Ecology in 2004.
In 2013, he was promoted to Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary to the Russian Far Eastern Federal District, a high priority post for Mr Putin.
Russian observers also point to the role played by Vyacheslav Volodin in helping Mr Putin run Russian politics since 2011.
Mr Volodin rose through regional and then national party politics, before being appointed to government positions.
He established the influential All-Russian Popular Front in 2011, which makes an increasingly significant contribution to formulation, implementation and monitoring of the leadership's policies.
Mr Volodin was subsequently appointed First Deputy Head of the presidential administration, responsible for overseeing a "reset" of Russian domestic politics since 2012.
Alongside continuity in the core leadership team, there has been a growing need for effective managers to implement its policies.
Indeed, rather than shrinking, as some commentators have suggested, the leadership team appears to be expanding.
There are several rising stars who play increasingly important roles in party politics and administration.
One is 39-year-old Alexander Galushka, who is a member of the Popular Front and many of the president's and prime minister's advisory committees.
He was appointed Minister of the Far Eastern region in 2013.
This leads us to the final point about who runs Russia with Mr Putin - while the President is the central figure, he is part of a team, which itself is part of a system, and therefore highlights the importance of effectiveness in implementing tasks.
All the individuals have reputations for hard work, loyalty and proven effectiveness in completing difficult tasks in business, state administration and politics.
As one Russian close to Mr Putin has observed, he did not choose them for their pretty eyes, but because they get things done.

Luigi Belcuore, from Warwickshire, died in October 2009 when an operation on his knee went wrong at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital.
The Medical Practitioners' Tribunal Service ruled the case against surgeon James Richardson was not proved.
The hospital said Prof Richardson is a "highly experienced" surgeon.
In a statement the hospital said it "deeply regrets" the unexpected death of Mr Belcuore .
The hospital expressed its "most heartfelt and sincere sympathies" to Mrs Belcuore and her family, for what must have been "an extremely distressing and traumatic time".
In January Mr Belcuore's family was awarded an undisclosed sum in compensation following his death.
Speaking after the award was made Mrs Belcuore said she was "shocked" the surgeon was allowed to continue practising after the death of her husband.
In its statement the hospital said Professor Richardson "is a highly experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeon and continues to work at the hospital".
The tribunal heard that Prof Richardson had used a piece of equipment used to blow air into the knee joint, which he had modified specifically for the operation.
Over five weeks, the tribunal heard allegations Prof Richardson had failed to provide good clinical care, had not properly informed Mr Belcuore about the modified medical device being used and had failed to get proper consent for its use.
It was further alleged that Prof Richardson's actions had increased the risk of an air embolism occurring.
The Medical Practitioners' Tribunal Service, after hearing from several expert witnesses, determined the four main points against Prof Richardson to be not proven.
A DVD of the operation was shown twice to the tribunal panel.
Michael Menlowe, the tribunal's chairman, said in regard to failures of good clinical care it noted the statement of one expert witness who said the surgery had been carried out "very skilfully" and "elegantly".
Mr Menlowe said another medical expert had gone on to say that "had the tragic incident of 20 October 2009 not occurred... (the) method of carrying out the procedure would have been widely adopted".
The panel had determined he "did not fail to provide good clinical care", and the tragic outcome was not "reasonably foreseeable", he said.
He also said Prof Richardson had "explained the procedure to Mr Belcuore" and stated "the expert witnesses were unanimous in their view that consent had been satisfactorily obtained".
It further accepted air had probably entered Mr Belcuore's blood through an "abnormal and undetectable" cyst, and found Prof Richardson's actions had not increased the risk of an air embolism.
The tribunal reported its findings on Saturday.
The winners include a whisky distillery in Scotland, a fishing hut in Hampshire and Manchester's Whitworth gallery.
Fourteen of the buildings are in London, including three housing developments, two schools, Foyles bookshop and the National Theatre.
The shortlist for this year's Stirling Prize will be drawn from the 37 award-winning buildings.
"The admirable aspect shared by every one of our winners is ambition," said RIBA President Stephen Hodder.
"The UK is blighted by poor-quality new housing and dilapidated school buildings, so I am delighted that the notable trends amongst this year's RIBA National Award winners are the volume of inspiring new housing and education projects.
"All 37 of our RIBA National Award winners should provide inspiration for developers, local authorities and architects alike and will delight generations to come."
Below is a selection of this year's winners from across the country.
The Stirling Prize shortlist will be announced on 16 July.
Archer, who competed as Hatti Dean, was promoted to bronze in 2015 after Marta Dominguez was found guilty of doping.
The 35-year-old Briton also competed at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka.
Kharlamova was one of six Russians punished for drugs offences by the country's anti-doping agency.
Five other Russian athletes and a weightlifter were also given suspensions by anti-doping department, Rusada.
Irina Sergeyeva, who won a silver medal at the 2009 European Cross-Country Championships, is suspended for two years and six months backdated from May 2015.
Steeplechaser Ekaterina Doseykina, who took part in the 2015 World Championships in Beijing, is banned for four years starting from December 2016.
Race walker Zilya Garipova has been given a one-year ban backdated to October 2016 and hurdler Ivan Khudyakov has also been suspended for four years from April 2017.
Weightlifter Anastasiya Vorobyova has also been punished with an eight-year ban, backdated to 25 July.
Meanwhile, the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced on Friday that Russian triple-jumper Anna Pyatykh has been banned for four years and has had her result from the world championships in 2007 scrapped for 'violating rules on prohibited substances'.
The 36-year-old originally came fourth in the triple jump final in Japan, but bronze medal athlete Hrysopiyi Devetzi was disqualified for violating anti-doping rules.
Pyatykh's ban is backdated to 15 December 2016, when she was provisionally suspended.
Her results from competitions between July 2013 and December last year have also been wiped.
The collision involving a motorcycle and a car happened at the junction of the Ballymaconaghy Road and Knockbracken Manor at around 17.40 BST on Friday 30th September.
A man aged in his 50s was arrested by police and later released on bail pending further enquiries.
The PSNI are appealing for witnesses.
Northern Gas Networks (NGN) claims a nationwide move away from methane to a hydrogen grid was "technically possible and economically viable".
The gas distributor said conversion could start in Leeds by 2026, with estimated costs of £2bn.
The city has been selected due to its "size and location", the report said.
The H21 Leeds City Gate report said more than 30% of all UK carbon emissions were from domestic heating and cooking, with a conversion to hydrogen reducing heat emissions by "a minimum of 73%".
Existing underground gas pipes could be used and household appliances could be converted to run on hydrogen, it added.
Instead of burning methane and releasing carbon into the atmosphere, the process would remove the carbon and store it in "appropriate geological storage locations" under the North Sea.
The remaining hydrogen, which emits no carbon dioxide when burnt, would then be used for domestic energy, NGN said.
Dan Sadler, from NGN, said: "This is a major opportunity for our country to become a world leader in hydrogen technology and decarbonisation and would create thousands of new jobs across the UK."
The gas distributor said the highly flammable substance would need "expert management", but added research had found the risk between hydrogen and natural gas leaks in a typical home "comparable".
Councillor Lucinda Yeadon, Leeds City Council's executive member for environment and sustainability, said: "Transforming Leeds into a hydrogen city would be a bold step.
"The project has massive potential to make a significant dent in the city's environmental performance, as well as opening up a wealth of opportunities for innovation, manufacturing and low carbon transport."
The 27-year-old, who has 41 caps, played every minute of his country's World Cup campaign in Brazil as they finished third in Group E.
Granada, who, like Watford, are owned by the Italian Pozzo family, only signed Paredes from Ecuadorian side Sporting Barcelona earlier this summer.
The transfer is still subject to international clearance.
The terms for Paredes's move to Watford are undisclosed.
He will be Watford's seventh summer signing, following striker Matej Vydra, winger Lloyd Dyer, midfielder Daniel Tozser, defenders Craig Cathcart and Gabriel Tamas, and goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.
Mississippi students had urged for the removal of the flag from campus because of its associations with slavery.
The university chancellor ordered the flag to be lowered and said it was being sent to the archives.
It has been the state's flag since 1894, and residents opted to keep the flag during a 2001 state-wide vote.
The student body senate voted to request removal of the flag, then was joined by two other student groups in the call.
"The University of Mississippi community came to the realisation years ago that the Confederate battle flag did not represent many of our core values, such as civility and respect for others," said chancellor Morris Stocks.
The murder of nine parishioners at a historical black church in Charleston, South Carolina, in June renewed a debate about the place of the flag in US culture.
The suspect, Dylann Roof, has appeared in many photos holding the flag.
A month after the tragedy, the flag was removed from South Carolina's capitol grounds.
The Confederate battle flag became a potent symbol for the southern states fighting the Civil War as they sought to break away from the union.
It is seen by some as an icon of slavery and racism while others say the banner symbolises their heritage and history.
Christopher Stubbs, 20, from South Bank, appeared at Teesside Magistrates' Court. He was remanded to appear at Teesside Crown Court on 7 March.
Two men, aged 21 and 22, arrested on suspicion of the murder, have been bailed. A third man, aged 22, has been released without charge.
Mr Pettite was found with serious chest injuries in Oakley Walk on Tuesday.
Police said he had staggered a short way.
He died later at James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
Among them recently was Ali, a young Iraqi in his 20s who says he spent 29 days travelling over sea and land to escape his conflict-ridden homeland in the hope of a better life in northern Europe.
He reels off the countries he has travelled through to get this far: "From Iraq to Turkey, Turkey to Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Denmark and finally Sweden".
On the journey he says he was imprisoned, moved on, or ignored.
"I like Sweden," he says. "My treatment is on another level - I'm a human."
Sweden has a reputation for generosity, having welcomed asylum seekers for decades. But in recent years numbers have substantially increased.
Last year, this country of fewer than 10 million people, received more than 80,000 applications for asylum - the highest number per head of population in the European Union (EU), and second only to Germany.
The latest influx - driven by the rise in numbers fleeing war in Syria - has raised questions about whether the country's "open-door" policy is sustainable.
Critical voices in Sweden (as in other European countries) question whether governments can afford to host refugees at a time when public finances are stretched.
And there is anxiety in Sweden about the impact of integrating so many migrants into the economy and labour market.
Morgan Johansson is Sweden's Migration Minister. He told me it was time for other EU members to "play their part" in offering shelter to refugees.
Mr Johansson says that understanding the significant and positive impact refugees can have on an economy is key, particularly for governments in the ageing countries of northern Europe, where more workers are needed to support the growing number of pensioners.
"Take, for example, the Syrians who are now coming to Sweden," he says.
"One third of them have higher education. They are doctors, engineers, nurses, people we know we will need in the Swedish economy. We need them right now, but we will need them even more in the coming years".
Focussing on realising the economic potential of refugees means that getting them jobs is central to Sweden's integration policies, something the government has invested heavily in over recent years.
The Swedish Public Employment Service (SPES) is the government agency charged with assessing the skills of those granted asylum, arranging additional training or education where required, and matching refugees with potential employers in need of their skills.
Lamis Qandalaft, a 32-year-old banker from Damascus, is one of the success stories of the scheme. Two years ago, she fled to Sweden with her husband after he had been called up to serve in President Bashar al-Assad's army.
This summer, after training and an internship, she finally landed a job at the headquarters of Swedbank in Stockholm.
Read more about refugees rebuilding their lives
Although the couple subsequently divorced, Ms Qandalaft says securing the job has been the foundation of her new life in Sweden.
"They have a good plan for us here," she says. "A plan to study the language and do specialist training.
"All my problems went away when I got the job. Now I have it, it's easier for me to find good accommodation, to live a normal life, to have a better life."
However, efforts to integrate all the refugees that have arrived in Sweden over the past two years into the jobs market have only had a limited success.
According to the SPES itself, in the past 24 months only 30% of refugees put through its integration programme have found jobs or accessed education.
Learning Swedish remains a significant barrier for many trying to enter the labour market, and there are questions about how effectively the majority of refugees, who are low-skilled with little formal education, can expect to contribute to the economy - at least in the short term.
Domestically there are rumblings of discontent with government policy. In a recent opinion poll, the Sweden Democrats, an opposition anti-immigration party, came out as the single most popular party, with the backing of more than a quarter of voters.
The party's migration spokesman Markus Wiechel says the government needs to be more selective about who it lets into the country.
"If you need people with a certain education you should focus on letting those people in," he says. "But right now we're just letting everyone in regardless of their education."
Migration Minister Morgan Johansson rejects that argument.
"There is a moral obligation; we can't pick and choose," he says. "Even people with low skills can be educated, and all human beings have the same value - that is the core of the European Union."
But then the skies darkened and heavy rain like no one had seen in living memory began to fall.
It rained for just 30 minutes.
"After the rain, there was a silence followed by terrible thunder and lightning," says 63-year-old resident Cristina Inga.
Her house was destroyed first by flooding, and then tonnes of rocks tumbled down from the mountain.
"We survived by escaping through the roof," she recalls.
"All the neighbours did the same; we all helped each other."
When the landslide was over, their street was covered in mud and boulders over two metres (6ft 5 inches) high.
The street they lived on ran along a wash, a natural watercourse which floods when it rains heavily in the Andes.
It is by no means a place to build homes, but the people who live here are poor.
"I was born here, my parents settled on this land because we had no money" Ms Inga explains.
Her house had been destroyed three times before 23 March.
She currently lives in a wooden shack but is proud to be the legal owner of the plot of land it is build on.
As for the risks, she says: "We don't move because we have nowhere else to go."
What happened in Moyopampa earlier this year is seen by many as a sign of things to come.
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the region may be facing the worst El Nino weather phenomenon in over 60 years between now and March.
The Peruvian government has already declared a state of emergency in more than half of the country's regions.
Peru, along with Ecuador, are the two countries most directly affected by El Nino.
In fact, it was Peruvian fishermen who named El Nino (The Child) in a reference to Baby Jesus because it used to arrive around Christmas time.
But for the people of Moyopampa, El Nino's arrival is not something they look forward to.
It is one of 107 places in Peru which the country's Civil Defence Institute (Indeci) has declared "vulnerable".
Three million people live in these vulnerable areas and are at risk of losing everything to heavy rains, mudslides and flash floods.
The government has set aside three billion Peruvian soles ($1bn; £0.65bn) to respond to the fall-out from El Nino and to support all sectors of the economy threatened by it.
Previous El Ninos destroyed key roads and bridges leaving communities isolated and often desperate for help.
So the ministry of transport is sending more than 1,000 portable bridges to different locations along Peru's coast.
So far, most of the government's efforts have been focused on cleaning the beds of coastal rivers, building floodwalls in vulnerable locations and making sure there is enough equipment to help in case of floods, mudslides or any other disasters.
On the day I visited the site of the Moyopampa landslide, local authority workers were removing debris which had been littering the street since March.
Others were building floodwalls which residents hope will be strong enough to withstand the forces of nature.
Ms Inga says she will only move if the government offers her family proper housing.
In the meantime, she puts her faith in God.
"I am scared. We are scared. But in God I trust and he always has the last word," she says with conviction.
But then, as if having second thoughts, she looks up at the sky and adds: "But down here we should be the first ones to protect ourselves".
Consular officials can now ask for social media usernames going back five years via a new questionnaire.
It also allows authorities to request email addresses, phone numbers and 15 years of biographical information.
This can be requested when "more rigorous national security security vetting" is needed, a State Department official told Reuters.
According to reports, the State Department expects that about 0.5% of visa applicants will be given the questionnaire.
Critics have argued that the checks could lead to extended, fruitless lines of inquiry or the collection of personal information not relevant to security checks.
Providing the information is voluntary, though the questionnaire informs applicants that "individuals who [...] do not provide all the requested information may be denied a US visa".
A proposal to request "social media identifiers" for travellers using the visa waiver program was put forward by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) last year.
This came into force for some visa waiver travellers in December 2016.
The new questionnaire applies specifically to visa applicants not using the visa waiver program.
Evaluation of social media activity is increasingly common, though US employers in Maryland and Illinois were recently banned - thanks to state-level legislation - from asking job applicants for their social media logins.
The 32-year-old was discovered at a property on Moor Road near Coalisland shortly after 13:00 BST on Thursday.
It is understood he is eastern European but his name has not yet been released.
Police said they are "continuing to investigate a possible link" to an attack on another man who was shot and assaulted in Coalisland on Wednesday.
The other victim is also from eastern Europe.
The officer leading the murder investigation, Det Ch Insp Lee McNevison, said: "If anyone saw anything unusual in the Moor Road area of Coalisland in recent days we would like them to contact detectives at Dungannon police station by calling the non-emergency number 101."
Hooker Ken Owens will win his 50th cap as coach Rob Howley sticks with the 23-man squad that beat Ireland 22-9 in Cardiff last Friday.
Howley has resisted calls to include inexperienced players, saying the team deserves a vote of confidence.
"I was delighted for the players at Friday's performance," he said.
"They deserve the opportunity to build on that in our final Six Nations encounter."
Scarlets hooker Owens, 30, has won 31 of his 49 Test caps off the bench, but has started in all four of this season's Six Nations matches and is being tipped as a potential British and Irish tourist for the summer tour of New Zealand.

He lines up alongside Tomas Francis and Rob Evans, while the back row of Sam Warburton, Justin Tipuric and Ross Moriarty is retained with Bath number eight Taulupe Faletau on the bench.
Faletau's Bath team-mate Luke Charteris is also among the replacements, with Jake Ball retaining his second-row place alongside captain Alun Wyn Jones in the starting line-up.
Wales could finish as high as second in the championship if they beat France and other results go their way.
"The experience we showed and the intensity we brought to the match was hugely important and that will be just as important as we face a good France team," said Howley.
"For us there are areas of the game we want to work on from Ireland and we have an opportunity to do that on Saturday and finish the campaign with another quality performance.
"The players who took to the field at Principality Stadium deserve the opportunity to start and we were pleased with the impact from the bench so will be looking for the same this weekend."
Halfpenny, North, Davies, S William, L Williams; Biggar, Webb; Evans, Owens, Francis, Ball, AW Jones (capt), Warburton, Tipuric, Moriarty.
Replacements: Baldwin, Smith, Lee, Charteris, Faletau, G Davies, S Davies, Roberts.
Both the haze and the controversy around it have intensified in recent years. But what causes it, and what makes it such a contentious issue?
Every year Indonesia sees agriculture fires in Riau province in East Sumatra, South Sumatra, and parts of Kalimantan on Indonesian Borneo.
The fires are said to be caused by corporations as well as small-scale farmers who use the slash-and-burn method to clear vegetation for palm oil, pulp and paper plantations.
The fires often spin out of control and spread into protected forested areas.
The problem has accelerated in recent years as more land has been cleared for expanding plantations for the lucrative palm oil trade.
The burnt land also becomes drier, which makes it more likely to catch fire the next time there are slash-and-burn clearings.
This year has seen one of the worst and most prolonged periods of haze, thanks to unusually dry weather in Indonesia caused by the El Nino climate phenomenon.
Read more: Why are peat lands burning?
The haze usually measures hundreds of kilometres across. It has spread to Malaysia, Singapore, the south of Thailand and the Philippines, causing a significant deterioration in air quality.
This year it has been blamed for deaths in Indonesia and respiratory illnesses in around 500,000 people, according to the government.
Elsewhere it has prompted school closures, flight cancellations and virtual shutdowns of towns and cities.
Singapore and Indonesia use the Pollutants Standards Index (PSI) to measure air quality, while Malaysia uses the similar Air Pollutants Index (API). On both indices, a reading that is above 100 is classified as unhealthy and anything above 300 is hazardous.
At the forest fire epicentres in Kalimantan and Sumatra, PSI readings have exceeded 2,000, prompting the government in late October to prepare ships to evacuate children in several provinces.

Besides irritating the respiratory tract and the eyes, pollutants in the haze can cause serious long-term damage to health.
The indices used to measure air quality in the region usually measure particulate matter (PM10), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and ozone.
PM2.5 is considered the most dangerous as it can enter deeper into the lungs. It has been associated with causing respiratory illnesses and lung damage.
The forest fires have also destroyed much of the natural habitat of Indonesia's orangutans and released large amounts of damaging carbon into the atmosphere.
US-based environmental research organisation World Resource Institute said in October that the daily carbon emissions were surpassing the average emissions by the United States.
Indonesia has been dumping millions of litres of water in affected areas and has sent in the army to help firefighters put out the fires.
It has also accepted help in the form of firefighting teams and military equipment from several countries including Russia and Singapore.
Indonesia has for years promised to step up enforcement. Under President Joko Widodo, it has named 10 corporations as suspects this year, and said it is investigating more than 100 individuals.
But at the end of September, Mr Widodo told the BBC that his country needed at least three years to tackle the haze as it was "not a problem that you can solve quickly".
In 2002, all 10 South East Asian countries signed an agreement to combat the issue through greater monitoring and encouragement of sustainable development, but efforts have been limited.
Indonesia has long struggled to police the vast rural expanse in Sumatra and Kalimantan.
But Indonesia and environment rights activists also say it is not entirely to blame, as some of the corporations accused of illegal burning have Malaysian and Singaporean investors.
Singapore in 2014 passed a set of laws that allow it to prosecute individuals and companies that contribute to the haze, and has begun taking legal action against several firms.
There have also been name-and-shame campaigns and calls to boycott the products of the companies said to be contributing to the haze.
In the meantime Indonesian authorities continue to struggle to put out the fires, many of which have flared up on flammable and dry peat-rich areas.
A peat fire is difficult to put out as it can burn underground for months, and requires a lot of water to extinguish. Fires can spread underground and spring up in other places later.
The "fight-fire-with-fire" approach by US doctors replaced aggressive versions of the bug with their friendlier cousins.
Trials on 173 people, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, showed the odds of repeat infection were cut dramatically.
Experts said it was a promising start and an interesting idea.
C. difficile infections cause diarrhoea and fever.
They have been a major problem in hospitals around the world, with around 29,000 deaths in the US alone linked to the bug each year.
The bacteria are able to take over the gut when a course of antibiotics kills off the bugs that normally live there.
The treatment is yet more antibiotics, but this puts some people into a vicious cycle as the drugs leave the gut vulnerable once again.
The symptoms are caused by toxins released by C. difficile bacteria.
So the team at Loyola University Health System in Illinois tried giving patients spores of non-toxin-producing C. difficile.
The friendlier bacteria should occupy the spaces in the gut that the toxic C. difficile normally inhabits and prevent it coming back.
The trial showed the healthier bacteria took hold in the gut 69% of the time. In those people, just one in fifty faced another infection.
Meanwhile, one in three people had renewed symptoms if the bacteria failed to colonise the gut or if they were given a dummy treatment.
Dr Dale Gerding, one of the researchers at Loyola University Health System, told the BBC: "C. difficile infections are the most common hospital-acquired infection that we have, it is a big problem.
"What we're doing is establishing competition with the original, toxic strain.
"I'm excited about this and looking forward to a phase-three [larger] trial, we think it'll go a long way to reduce C. diff recurrence."
Their ambition is to also give the spores to people who are about to go on a course of antibiotics so they never become ill from C. diff.
A similar technique for treating stubborn C. diff infections that has been gaining popularity is a faecal transplant.
Healthy gut bugs are taken from a relative's stool and given to the patients.
Dr Simon Clarke, from the University of Reading, told the BBC: "It is an interesting idea, it is a less grim version of a faecal transplant and a very interesting concept to block infection.
"They are still infected with bacteria, but they are a more friendly version.
"This paper established the proof of principle, but what they need to do is find out exactly how you can use it."
The study was funded by ViroPharma Incorporated, which is now part of the biotech firm Shire.
Eight branches were due to close, but the Conservative-run council's cabinet said all will remain open while it carries out a review of the service.
Labour deputy leader Mark Bullock said he did not think the numbers add up.
"This is just a tactic. They are saying they will not close libraries but maybe some of them will not be open."
A final version of the proposed budget was published ahead of the cabinet meeting to finalise details that will go to the full Conservative controlled county council later this month.
Cuts include turning off street lights, ending lollipop patrols and social service budget reductions.
A Northamptonshire organisation which represents care homes said a proposal to cut funding for residential care was "unlawful".
Norarch said it would call for a judicial review if the authority goes ahead with the plans.
In 2008, councillors agreed on a four year plan to provide £1m a year to help pay for care home places but after paying only half of the money councillors now want to stop the rest.
Glenn Hurd, from Norarch, said the authority had a duty to carry out its agreement.
"The service has been under-funded for years and in law the council is obliged to provide proper budgets and we are considering challenging this."
The council also plans to axe bus subsidies but will set £1m aside for replacement transport schemes.
Advice services, which were due to lose £150,000, will receive £250,000 under the latest plans.
The council said it received a reduction in funding from the government and will need to make £137m in savings over the next four years.
Council leader Jim Harker said: "These final budget proposals are the culmination of weeks of consultation with residents and scrutiny committees.
"The comments we received about our library proposals demonstrated the strength of feeling people have about their local libraries.
"We have also heard people's feedback about our proposed saving for advice and information services and are therefore looking to invest in this area instead.
"Some difficult choices have still had to be made, and our final budget proposals balance the need to save money whilst also ensuring a council tax freeze."
Liberal democrat leader on the council Chris Stanbra said the cuts that worried him the most concerned social services.
The proposals will go to a full council meeting on 24 February.
It says it has observed starvation, the burning of villages and rape being used as weapons of war across the country.
The three-member commission, which was established earlier this year, has just completed a 10-day visit to South Sudan, which has been blighted by conflict for more than three years.
President Salva Kiir has denied that ethnic cleansing is taking place.

'I spent days hiding in a swamp'
In a statement released on Thursday, the commission says "the stage is being set for a repeat of what happened in Rwanda" in 1994 - a reference to the killing of 800,000 people, mostly Tutsis and moderate Hutus, in the space of three months.
Yasmin Sooka, the chair of the commission, said that everywhere the team went in South Sudan, it "heard villagers saying they are ready to shed blood to get their land back".
South Sudan's civil war has caused more than 2.2 million people to flee their homes.
It began in 2013, two years after South Sudan became independent, when President Salva Kiir sacked his cabinet and accused Vice-President Riek Machar of instigating a failed coup.
Government and rebels agreed to attend peace talks in 2014, and a deal was signed a year later.
Mr Machar eventually returned from exile to be reinstated as first vice-president of a new unity government under Mr Kiir in April 2016.
However he was again sacked months later after renewed conflict.
The 31-year-old former Oxford United forward has scored 15 goals to help the Spitfires to within a point of the National League play-off places.
"It's sad news for James as he's a great lad and a great player for us," Eastleigh manager Chris Todd said.
Todd's side travel to Halifax on Tuesday knowing a win will lift them into the division's top five.
"It would be nice to get James Constable promoted into the Football League," Todd told BBC Radio Solent.
"I'm sure he's probably sitting at home wishing he was with us as that's the kind of player he is.
"These things happen and you can't control the uncontrollables, but it gives someone else an opportunity."
The lamb, nicknamed Skippy because "he looks like a kangaroo", was born on a farm at Chilton Foliat in Wiltshire.
Described as a "freak of nature" by farm hand Sally-Ann Fisher, Skippy was "completely abandoned" by his mother and is now being hand-reared.
Ms Fisher said: "We've made a little jacket for him to wear out of an old jumper to keep him warm at night."
Ms Fisher, who farms with her partner near Ramsbury, said the lamb had been born 10 days ago but they were "not aware" that its lack of wool was a condition or a "health problem".
"He's just unlucky, but he's doing great," she said.
Hannah Park, from the National Sheep Association, said the condition was "not common".
"Some breeds with less wool might be susceptible but it is extremely unusual and not something we would see," she said.
Members of the Energy Institute say investing in nuclear and renewables is risky following unpredicted delays and changes in subsidies.
Their biggest fears are over carbon capture, a technology the PM said was vital, before he withdrew funding.
The government says it will reassure investors with a new plan in the autumn for clean, secure, affordable energy.
The Energy Institute is the industry's professional body. Its survey also indicates an expectation that if the UK were to vote to leave the European Union it would create problems for energy supplies, renewables, climate change and air quality.
It suggests members do not trust the UK or other countries to keep their promises to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to safeguard the climate.
The survey was completed by 438 energy professionals, academics and analysts who are members of the Institute.
When asked what were their biggest fears they cited "energy policy continuity" following a year of multiple unheralded changes in support of clean technologies.
The government offered what it called a "reset" of energy policies in November, planning to deliver a new wave of gas power stations, support low-carbon energy and promote a flexible electricity grid - but the announcement was criticised for leaving too much uncertainty for clean technologies.
"Plainly, the government's energy policy 'reset' has yet to reset confidence among professionals working in the energy sector," the Energy Institute said as it released its latest survey on Wednesday.
It says low oil prices are a further factor discouraging investment in energy efficiency and low-carbon technologies, as well as in UK oil and gas supply.
The Institute's members say that, despite the euphoria surrounding the Paris climate change agreement in December, they are sceptical countries will deliver their commitment to hold global temperature increases to well below 2C and to try to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C.
Most members do not expect emissions to be held at the level associated with a temperature rise of 2C. Even fewer believe this is likely than did last year before the Paris deal.
A majority think the UK will slip behind its carbon budgets for the coming years and fall significantly short of its goal of reducing emissions by 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
There is a particularly gloomy outlook on energy efficiency: professionals working in the sector say despite government promises to radically improve efficiency, its policies so far have had no effect.
This issue covers energy availability and environmental protections.
Prof Jim Skea, president of the Energy Institute, told BBC News: "The single biggest wish for people working in UK energy is stable government policy that helps them decide where to invest profitably.
"Renewable energy and capturing carbon - key to implementing the Paris climate agreement - are seen to have been particularly badly hit by policy changes over the last year."
A government spokesman told BBC News: "We are giving investors the certainty they need to come to the UK with our long-term plan for a secure, affordable and clean energy system fit for the 21st Century.
"We're doing this in a way that will meet our climate change commitments in the most cost-effective way, and have already reduced our emissions by over 30% since 1990."
Prof Skea also explained members' fears over the UK's EU referendum vote: "The overwhelming majority (by 4-1) of energy professionals foresee negative impacts on the UK energy system under Brexit.
"Our members have highlighted energy security, energy innovation and renewable energy development as particular areas of concern."
Those who want to leave the European Union say the UK could reduce energy prices if they were outside the bloc, and that other European countries would still want to sell their electricity to the UK after Brexit.

Broos, 63, takes over from Volker Finke who was sacked in October.
Alexandre Belinga, the team's interim coach for the past three months, will remain as an assistant to the Belgian along with another former Belgian player, Sven Vandenbroeck.
Broos, who has coached extensively across Europe, was a surprise choice.
He was not on Fecafoot's shortlist of five, which included three Frenchmen, a Serbian and a Cameroonian.
Broos has vast experience as a manager, having won the Belgian Championship twice with Club Brugge and then again with Anderlecht. He has also enjoyed spells in Greece, Turkey and Algeria in recent years.

Vale of Glamorgan council said the number of meals needed fell from a daily average of 112 in 2012 to 45.
The Food Shed, which works with HMP Parc in Bridgend, is one of the social enterprises which has stepped in.
Prisoners prepare and cook meals but do not deliver them and G4S, which runs Parc, said these skills helped break the "vicious cycle" of offending.
The freshly-cooked meals made by the prisoners are delivered to people who are unable to cook for themselves.
Councillors agreed to start working with The Food Shed to provide meals in the western part of the county before it expands across the area.
It is not a contract but The Food Shed was one of the social enterprises which was recommended as an alternative when the council service ended.
The decision came after the council's former Labour administration decided to stop providing the service in January.
The council said meals on wheels ran at a loss and cost the social services department £50,000 a year.
People affected had their needs reassessed, were written to about the change and were also called or visited in person.
If they were happy to make the switch to a new provider, council staff passed their details to the relevant organisations.
Lisette Saunders, G4S deputy director at HMP Parc, said: "Our partnership with The Food Shed provides quality food for vulnerable people and supports our work with prisoners to develop skills, provide training and improve job prospects, ultimately helping the men in our care break the vicious cycle of offending."
G4S said one former prisoner who was involved with The Food Shed while serving his sentence was given a job with them after his release.
Ms Saunders added: "Programmes like The Food Shed encourage prisoners to be involved with the local communities, to be good neighbours and to give something back to those who are in most need."
That's what happened in the Scottish League Cup tie between Rangers and St Johnstone, yet it was Saints that delivered the resounding performance.
Tommy Wright's side ended Rangers' 100% record, and allowed a number of observations to be made.
One match is not a reliable body of evidence to base unambiguous judgements on but interesting points could be raised from the way St Johnstone won 3-1 with such conviction and poise.
Once again, the Saints boss showed there are few better in Scotland at setting out a game plan and organising players to execute it.
That was seen clearly during the 2013-14 season, when St Johnstone met Dundee United five times, winning them all without conceding a goal.
The last occasion was, of course, the Scottish Cup final at Celtic Park, and even the semi-final was a showcase for the manager since he had the awareness and wherewithal to change his side's tactics mid-game against Aberdeen and eventually win the tie 2-1.
Against Rangers, Wright exploited the space that full-backs James Tavernier and Lee Wallace leave behind them as they act, effectively, as auxiliary wingers. He also lined up his defence and midfield in such a way that Rangers were denied space to work in the final third and so restricted their openings.
Rangers play the same way all the time but St Johnstone had the capability to deal with that approach and, indeed, exploit it.
Michael O'Halloran can play centrally or wide, leading the line or deeper.
St Johnstone deploy him in whichever role makes best use of his lightning pace and direct running depending on the shape and style of their opponents. He is developing into a consistently effective and dangerous player.
The Perth side have been less assured in defence in this campaign than previously, in part due to injuries but also due to the necessary break-up of the long-time centre-back pairing of Steven Anderson and Frazer Wright. The latter has left the club, while the former was on the bench at Ibrox as he continues his comeback from injury.
Different combinations have been tried at the back and, against Rangers, it was nous that stood out. Dave MacKay and Tom Scobbie always took up positions to block Rangers trying to play through or cross, while the full-backs and midfielders were diligent in closing down space.
Rangers could not string their attacking combinations together quickly or decisively enough to breach the visitors' defence.
The contrast was clear, since Rangers left themselves far more open because of their attacking style. The centre-backs, Rob Kiernan and Danny Wilson, are often left in isolation at the back but neither is commanding enough even when a long ball is delivered up the middle.
Rangers have lost several goals this season through the centre of their defence and the partnership, as well as the defensive contribution of the midfielders, needs to improve and solidify whilst not facing, most weeks, periods of extended pressure against Championship sides.
Mark Warburton has one shape and game plan - 4-3-3 and attack - which will continue to serve him well this season.
Stepping up a level will require better players if it is to remain effective but there will also come a time when alterations need to be made to overcome problems or deal with opponents who can exploit them.
The squad also currently lacks a strong, tall, mobile and commanding centre-forward and gritty experience in midfield.
No assertions can be made about the gap between the Championship and the Premiership based on events at Ibrox. St Johnstone were simply the better side on the night, while individually the Rangers players all have the attributes to play in the top flight.
Dunfermline, from League One, pushed Dundee United close at Tannadice, while Morton, of the Championship, knocked out Motherwell.
Even so, it was clear that St Johnstone will continue to be a team that is awkward to beat, well organised and with a searing threat in the cutting edge of O'Halloran and a hardy endeavour, as well as spikiness, from the reliable Steven MacLean.
Rangers are making progress under Warburton and the cup defeat should not cause them to falter in the league.
The Ibrox side would benefit from a bit more experience and sharper defensive instincts but playing at a higher level would also demand and generate a greater sharpness that would make their short, passing approach more effective in and around the penalty area.
Three men entered a house in Parkgate Drive at about 01:20 GMT on Saturday, ordering the occupant into the living room and demanding money.

A joint funeral is being held in the West Midlands for Adrian Evans, 44, his nephew Joel Richards, 19, and father Charles (known as Patrick) Evans, 78,
The funerals of Sue Davey, Carly Lovett, Janet and John Stocker, and Bruce Wilkinson will also take place.
They were among 30 UK victims of the attack near Sousse that left 38 dead.
The Foreign Office has since asked all British nationals to leave Tunisia and a state of emergency has been declared in the north African country.
A service of remembrance for all those caught up in the 26 June beach attack is to take place in the autumn, the government has announced, and a memorial dedicated to them will be built.
The funeral for the three members of the Evans and Richards families will take place in West Bromwich.
Adrian Evans, a council worker from Tipton, his father, who had worked as a general manager at Newby Foundries for 33 years, and teenage nephew, from Wednesbury, had just arrived in Tunisia when they were killed.
They were all Walsall FC fans and scarves were laid outside the club's stadium following their deaths. There will be a private cremation and private event at the club's ground.
Mr Richards was a local football referee and a student at the University of Worcester. His brother Owen, 16, survived the attack.
A service of thanksgiving for Ms Davey, 43, from Tamworth, Staffordshire, is to be held in her home town. She has been described by her son Conor Fulford as a "very special person".
She had been on holiday with her partner Scott Chalkley, 42, who was also killed.
A joint funeral for Janet and John Stocker, from Morden, Surrey, will take place at Putney Vale Crematorium in south-west London.
Mrs Stocker, 63, and her 74-year-old husband had five children and 10 grandchildren.
They were described by their family as the "happiest, most loving couple who enjoyed life's simple pleasures as well as the pleasures and love of their extensive family and their many friends", and who were "very much in love with each other".
The funeral of Mr Wilkinson, 72, from Goole, East Riding, will take place in the town.
He was retired, having worked at Drax power station, and was described by his family as a "kind and compassionate man" who was a "devoted husband, father and grandfather".
A service will also be held in Gainsborough for 24-year-old graduate Ms Lovett.
The beauty blogger and photographer had recently got engaged.

He said the software controlling the new system would not be ready for the start of the season on 18-20 March.
"My guys who do the timing said: 'Mr E, we don't want to be put in the position because we don't think we can get it done properly in time'," he said.
He added the system "wasn't my idea" and he wanted a different approach.
Ecclestone said the new system would go ahead, however.
Governing body the FIA announced on Wednesday that a new qualifying system had been agreed that would feature the slowest car being eliminated every 90 seconds in three knock-out sections of qualifying.
The teams were to spend the next few days making sure there were no unintended consequences before it was formally adopted, but the problems have instead been discovered by Ecclestone's Formula 1 Management company, which handles the timing software.
"It's not quite that easy," Ecclestone, 85, said. "You've got all the graphics to go on the screen.
"If you're going to try and explain it to the public properly, it's not just a case of 'OK, the guy was the last one, bye-bye'. You can't just do that.
"We'll have to deal with it. I've told the FIA this and asked them what they'd like to do with it but the bottom line is there's not a lot they can do with it because we do all the timekeeping. So, that's it."
The idea behind the new qualifying format is to introduce an element of uncertainty that could lead to cars qualifying out of position.
But Ecclestone said his original idea had been for a different way of shuffling the order.
"I don't want to touch the current qualifying, which I think is good," he said.
"What I've said was, if the guy that's on pole won the last race, for example, we'd have to come up with some sort of a format to say in the end he starts 10th. And the guy who was third in the last race starts maybe eighth or something like that.
"And then you will find you get a whole mix-up of the grid and some of the guys who don't get as much TV coverage will be up at the front.
"Because you can guarantee the guy who's on pole will still win the race but it ain't going to be like pole man disappears and that's it."
He said the teams were opposed to this idea.
"People at the time that don't want any change at all thought: 'Well, Ecclestone's going to push through something so we might as well agree with that rather than have something that is a bit more drastic'," he said.
"Because it could happen that the guy on pole doesn't get through the pack.
"Monaco, Hungary - there's lots of places where you wouldn't want to put your money on the guy coming through the field."
His replacement will be named on 17 January when interim coach Rob Howley announces his Six Nations squad.
Ospreys lock Alun Wyn Jones, who has 105 caps for Wales, is the prime contender to replace him.
The Cardiff Blues flanker, 28, first captained Wales in 2011 and led the British and Irish Lions to a 2-1 series win in Australia in 2013.
Warburton, who has 69 Wales caps, was skipper for the 2011 and 2015 World Cup campaigns.
He led the side to the semi-finals in 2011 and quarter-finals four years later, as well as a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2012 before winning the championship the following year.
"It's a massive decision. He's been the captain for so long and it shows his integrity," former Wales international Emyr Lewis told BBC Radio Wales.
"It shows how unselfish he is and he's put the Welsh team at the forefront of his reasoning behind it."
Jones, 31, has captained Wales in the past and led the Lions in the final Test in Australia after Warburton was ruled out with injury.
Lewis says Jones would be a good choice to take over, adding: "Everyone's got respect for him and it's going to be an interesting battle now for the number seven position."
Wales begin their Six Nations campaign on 5 February against Italy.
Hisham Geneina was fired in March by President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi after estimating corruption had cost Egypt $67.6bn (£51.3bn) over four years.
He was sentenced to a year in jail and fined $2,200 but told he could avoid prison if he paid an additional $1,100, judicial sources said.
His lawyer said he would appeal.
Lawyer Ali Taha said prosecutors had failed to prove their accusations and said the case for the defence had not been examined. Reporters were not allowed to attend the sentencing at a Cairo court.
Geneina, a former judge, denied the charges and said they were politically motivated.
After firing Geneina, President Sisi appointed a fact-finding commission that concluded the auditor had over-estimated the scale of corruption. and thus misled the public.
The case was based on comments Geneina made to two Egyptian newspapers last December when he was still head of the Accountability State Authority (ASA).
The daily al-Youm al-Sabea quoted him as saying in an interview that endemic corruption had cost Egypt some 600bn Egyptian pounds ($67.6bn) in 2015 alone, mostly in corrupt land deals.
Geneina later said that he had been misquoted and that the figure covered four years, a claim supported by a separate interview with another newspaper.
He also noted that it was based on a study commissioned by the Egyptian planning ministry and carried out with the UN Development Programme (UNDP).
President Sisi has made fighting corruption a top priority since coming to power after leading the military's overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham told the BBC there "couldn't be a more serious time" to be strengthening borders, after the Brussels attacks.
But he quoted whistleblowers as saying the Border Force had been told to expect cuts of 6% in both the next financial year and the one after.
The Home Office said funding was being finalised and "all necessary measures" would be taken to secure UK borders.
In a letter to Home Secretary Theresa May, Mr Burnham said making savings now would be a "very serious mistake".
In the wake of the Brussels bombings, the government said it was deploying more Border Force staff to strengthen checks at UK entry points.
But Mr Burnham accused the home secretary of "going to great lengths" to conceal further cuts planned for the agency.
He said it was "highly unusual and should be challenged" for ministers not to have released the Border Force budget with the start of the new financial year only a few days away.
He said the force had "already experienced consecutive years of cuts" and was "stretched to the limit".
"The public has a right to know about the government's plans for the UK border and that is why I call on them to publish these figures without delay and to drop these damaging cuts," he added.
The Home Office said extra money for the force had been promised in the chancellor's Budget this month.
A spokesman said the government had "invested tens of millions of pounds to bolster security at ports in northern France" and would take "all the necessary measures" to maintain the security of the UK's borders.
Mr Burnham said the funding promised in the Budget was for customs activities of the Border Force, to counter smuggling, not for immigration staff.
He called on the government to strengthen the UK's sea, rail and air borders with Belgium, saying British border officials should be deployed to work alongside local staff in Belgian ports, as already happens in Calais.
The Home Office said the Border Force "has the ability to redeploy resources on a national basis, and can allocate funding to address specific pressures when necessary.
"This includes the additional £17m being invested during the next financial year to ease migrant pressures in the Calais region and further strengthen the UK border."
It said it was "not uncommon" for the force's budget to be finalised this close to the financial year and the home secretary would respond to Mr Burnham's letter "in due course". | Officials in Niger have arrested 127 migrants as they attempted to cross the Sahara into Algeria, sources say.

Owen Oyston is accused by Valeri Belokon of improperly extracting millions of pounds from the club after its Premier League promotion in 2010.
Mr Oyston and his son Karl deny "unfair prejudice" against shareholders.
Andrew Green QC, for Mr Belokon, said "misconduct in their dealings" with the club made "a pretty ugly picture".
During the case hearings Mr Oyston has denied personally exploiting the club funds and his legal team has called for the case brought by Mr Belokon to be thrown out.
Latvian Mr Belokon is acting through his firm VB Football Assets, which is a minor shareholder in the club.
Mr Green told Mr Justice Marcus Smith, sitting in London, that when the case began four weeks ago "from the moment the cherries had lined up on the Premier League fruit machine", the Oystons treated the club as "their own personal cash machine".
He said it was "simply incontrovertible" Mr Belokon had suffered unfair prejudice at the hands of the Oystons and their companies.
Mr Green argued the appropriate remedy "should be nothing other" than the Oystons and their companies buying out Mr Belokon's interests.
He suggested Owen Oyston and club chairman Karl would not have funds immediately available to repay the loans taken from the club following receipt of Premier League money.
He said there was no realistic prospect of those loans being repaid to the club while it remained under Oyston family control.
If a court order led to the football business having to be sold to a new owner to raise funds for the buyout, that was likely to be popular with supporters currently boycotting Blackpool because of the Oystons, he added.
Alan Steinfeld QC, appearing for the Oystons, asked the judge to dismiss Mr Belokon's "confused" case, claiming he wrongly "thought" he had obtained a "gentlemen's agreement" entitling him to equal shares.
Mr Stein said of the Oystons: "Lots of ugly words have been hurled against them but they felt morally entitled to recover some of their monies."
The judge reserved his judgment to a date that will be announced later.
The Met Office said an average March-May temperature of 8.97C (48.15F) would be beaten only by 2007 and 2011 in the records, which date back to 1910.
And depending on temperatures in the final three days of May, Scotland could be set for its warmest spring on record.
It would also mean six months of above-average temperatures across the UK.
The figure of 8.97C is based on temperatures up to 28 May and assumes average conditions until the end of the month, the Met Office said.
This would make this year's spring the third hottest in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, while Scotland's current average of 7.63C (45.73F) is narrowly above the current record of 7.61C (44.70F) set in 2011.
UK temperatures from December to April have all been at least one degree Celsius higher than the long-term average, the Met Office said.
Despite its temperature, May has been duller and wetter than average, with just 76% of the sunshine usually expected in the UK as a whole, and 97.7mm of rainfall - 140% of the long-term average.
This month has brought a wide range of weather conditions, from warm sunshine to torrential rain and even reports of a tornado.
After a week of widespread showers, the weekend outlook is brighter for many areas, with forecasters saying it would feel pleasantly warm with light winds in some parts.
An inquiry heard people were queuing for up to four hours after the first pool game at the Millennium Stadium.
Enterprise and business committee chairman William Graham said the station's "ageing infrastructure" needed "substantial investment".
Great Western Railway said it would work with Network Rail and other train operators to make improvements.
Tournament organisers told the committee in November that delays of up to four hours were "unacceptable".
Great Western Railway apologised for underestimating passenger numbers for the first game in Cardiff - Ireland v Canada on 19 September - calling the situation "embarrassing".
In June, Network Rail unveiled new plans to transform Cardiff Central, although the earliest work could start would be 2019.
Publishing a report on Wednesday, Mr Graham said: "It is clear to the committee that the ageing infrastructure around Cardiff Central Station is not up to the demands of coping with large passenger numbers in a short space of time, such as after a major sporting event.
"Furthermore, we believe those involved in organising transport and crowd control during such events need to work more effectively and use all of the tools at their disposal."
Mr Graham praised steps to ease congestion for the last five of Cardiff's eight Rugby World Cup games.
He said it was imperative lessons were learned before the capital hosts the 2017 Champions League final when "the eyes of the world will be upon us".
Great Western Railway said it was "keen to continue working with Network Rail and other train operators on the Cardiff station improvement master plan, which we hope will tackle some of the infrastructure challenges identified".
Underlying earnings fell to $4.54bn (£3.13bn) in 2015, from $9.31bn a year earlier.
Rio has held its full-year dividend at $2.15 a share, while the 2016 payout will be no less than $1.10 a share.
It said it was "no longer appropriate to maintain the progressive dividend policy".
Rio has joined other groups including Glencore and Brazil's mining giant, Vale, in adjusting dividend payouts to shareholders.
Rio chairman Jan du Plessis said: "With the continuing uncertain market outlook, the board believes that maintaining the current progressive dividend policy would constrain the business and act against shareholders' long-term interests."
It reported an annual net loss of $866m, hit by impairment charges of about $1.8bn.
These charges were due to its Simandou iron ore project in Guinea, which was affected by Ebola last year, Energy Resources of Australia Ltd, which is a uranium mine, and the Roughrider uranium project.
Mining companies, hit by weaker iron ore, copper and aluminium prices, are under pressure from rating agencies to curb spending to help them through the worst conditions seen in nearly two decades.
Rio is planning a further reduction in capital expenditure of $3bn and costs of $2bn over 2016 and 2017.
Luke Grender was sentenced for the rape of a schoolgirl in January but the Attorney-General asked for a rethink.
The judge at that case give him a suspended term due to "exceptional" circumstances caused by the murder of his pregnant sister Nikitta, 19.
He now must serve a three-year term.
Grender, 18, was given a two-year suspended sentence at Newport Crown Court after a judge said his family had been through "heartbreak".
His sister and her unborn baby were murdered in 2011 by Carl Whant, who then burnt down her house.
Whant was jailed for life with a minimum of 35 years.
Grender's trial at Newport Crown Court was told the impact of his sister's death "twisted the thinking" of her brother.
The judge said he could be spared prison because the circumstances were "quite exceptional by any standards".
The Sports Direct owner has shares in Rangers and also wholly owns Newcastle United. The SFA fined him £1,000 over this dual interest.
Mr Ashley launched a judicial review in a bid to have the fine overturned.
After hearing the case at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, judge Lord Brodie ruled the SFA was correct to fine him.
The SFA had originally fined Mr Ashley £7,500 but reduced this to £1,000 after he appealed.
Mr Ashley later launched a judicial review in a bid to have the fine revoked.
His legal team claimed the SFA had not applied the principles of "natural justice" when dealing with him.
In his judgement, Lord Brodie wrote: "I shall uphold the second plea in law for the respondent. The petition is dismissed."

Fabian Schar's header proved crucial after goalkeeper Etrit Berisha flapped at Xherdan Shaqiri's corner.
Despite Swiss control of play, Armando Sadiku wasted a great chance to make it 1-1 before Albania captain Lorik Cana received a second yellow for handball.
After poor Swiss finishing, Shkelzen Gashi almost levelled late on.
The substitute was put clean through with three minutes left but Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer made a crucial save, his second after denying Sadiku in the first half, to leave Albanian fans aghast.
Switzerland's first opening-game win in four attempts at a European Championship puts them second in Group A behind hosts France, who beat Romania 2-1 on Friday.
But it should put them close to reaching the knockout stages for the first time after finishing bottom of their group at tournaments in 1996, 2004 and 2008.
Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka and elder sibling Taulant became the first brothers to play on opposing sides at the European Championship, highlighting the homogeneous nature of this fixture, played before a passionate crowd.
Six of Switzerland's 23-man squad have family links to Albania or Kosovo, while 10 of the Albanian squad were born or raised in Switzerland.
The Xhaka brothers were both born in Switzerland, after their parents fled Kosovo, and came through the youth system at Basel. But Taulant failed to make it to the senior Swiss side after playing for the Under-21s, and switched allegiance to Albania.
Granit, who recently joined Arsenal for a reported £35m from Borussia Monchengladbach, showed "promise" in this win, according to BBC pundit Danny Murphy.
The midfielder set up three decent chances and had the most touches of anyone on the pitch, with Murphy adding: "His passing looks very nice and he has a determination to get back and retrieve the ball so there is a nice balance to his game."
Taulant also created one good opening after a smart one-two with Odise Roshi but shot over and he was replaced after 63 minutes, much to his distaste as he threw a water bottle at the dugout.
Despite the Albanian supporters' barracking of Shaqiri, who is one of the Swiss players born in Kosovo, Vladimir Petkovic's side were quick to show their greater experience, and had already made inroads down the flanks before the opener.
Albania responded well, but when Sadiku's close-range effort was saved by Sommer, it proved costly - as former Sunderland player Cana was then sent off six minutes later.
Cana could have had little complaint with BBC pundit Thierry Henry suggesting he was lucky not to receive a straight red card.
After allowing Haris Seferovic to run the wrong side of him, Cana slipped on the edge of the penalty area and then used his hand to deny the Swiss striker.
The fact that Switzerland did not capitalise on their numerical advantage was mostly down to Seferovic, who wasted several good opportunities.
And he was fortunate that Sommer was in good form to deny Gashi late on, with the Albanian manager Giovanni de Biasi furious at another missed one-on-one chance.
Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic: "I was not afraid of losing our lead, but we should have scored more. We will be mentally stronger after coming through this.
"The first 20 minutes were very important and very good. After that, we played backwards too much and allowed them back into the game."
Albania coach Giovanni De Biasi: "The key moments of the game were the goal from Fabian Schar, the dismissal of Lorik Cana and our three misses from close range that could have changed the game.
"The red card really changed the balance of the game. We had to change our approach."
Switzerland face Romania on Wednesday 15 June at Parc des Prince in Paris as they aim to seal their passage to the second round while Albania go in search of their first European Championship point against hosts France at Stade Velodrome on the same day.
Match ends, Albania 0, Switzerland 1.

Plans drawn up by Bradford Council include a clockwise one-way gyratory along East Parade, Hanover Street and Cavendish Street.
Deputy council leader Val Salter said urgent action was needed to combat the town's growing congestion problem.
Plans will be displayed in the Airedale shopping centre on 11 and 13 June.
About 10,000 dogs will be slaughtered for their meat at the Lychee and Dog Meat Festival in Yulin in Guangxi province on Sunday and Monday to mark the summer solstice, state media said.
One retired school teacher from Tianjin hit the headlines when she purchased dozens of dogs to save them.
Residents and vendors in Yulin say the animals are killed in a humane way.
Activists say the killing is cruel and an online campaign to ban the festival has been signed by more than 3.8 million people so far and the campaign has attracted considerable support this year from celebrities both domestic and foreign.
Celebrities including British comedian Ricky Gervais have spoken out on Twitter with the hashtag #StopYuLin2015. Chinese pop star Chen Kun and actor Yang Mi have said they are joining the campaign on micro blogging site Weibo.
Why UK doesn't eat dog meat
And Chinese actor Fan Bingbing and others posted a video online against the festival.
The tradition of eating dog meat dates back four or five hundred years in China, South Korea and other countries, as it is believed to ward off the heat of the summer months, according to state news agency Xinhua.
However, this festival began in recent years, Xinhua said.
City officials have distanced themselves from the gathering. "Some residents of Yulin have the habit of coming together to eat lychees and dog meat during the summer solstice," the city's news office wrote on Weibo.
"The 'summer solstice lychee and dog meat festival' is a commercial term, the city has never [officially] organised a 'dog meat festival'," it added.
As in recent years, some animal lovers resorted to buying some of the dogs in order to rescue them.
Yang Xiaoyun, retired school teacher, paid about 7,000 yuan ($1,100; £710) to save 100 dogs on Saturday.
The BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing says this kind of dispute puts the government in a really difficult position. The glorified consumption of dog meat generates a lot of negative foreign media reports, embarrassing the authorities. Also, the dog meat industry has been accused of many underhand tactics, including the illegal capture of family pets to use as food.
But at the same time, the government is wary of the increasingly sophisticated animal rights movement, she adds. Animal rights activists in China have formed a cohesive network on social media that extends to many foreign animal welfare groups. China's leaders do not want to encourage such a movement amid a wider crackdown on civil disturbance of any kind.
On Wednesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) expanded its existing recall.
The expansion adds 35 to 40 million airbag inflators to the recall list and affects vehicles from 12 carmakers and more than doubles the existing recall.
Takata inflators have been linked to 11 deaths and more than 100 injuries.
"Today's action is a significant step in the US Department of Transportation's aggressive oversight of Takata on behalf of drivers and passengers across America," said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
"The acceleration of this recall is based on scientific evidence and will protect all Americans from airbag inflators that may become unsafe."
Takata has already been forced to recall 28.8 million inflators.
In a statement on its website Takata's chief executive apologised "for the concern caused to the driving public, our business partners and our shareholders by the extensive market recalls of vehicles fitted with Takata airbags".
The message said the company was "providing complete support" for the recall and working to "restore trust" in the company's products.
This latest recall chips away further at Takata's credibility with carmakers.
"What the carmakers are doing is reaching out to their other airbag makers to provide replacement parts rather than Takata," Scott Upham, chief executive of Valient Market Research, told the BBC.
"I think the goal is to really get Takata completely out of the loop," he said.
The recall targets airbag inflators that may explode with too much force and shoot metal debris at the driver and passengers.
Takata uses ammonium nitrate to fill its airbags with air in a crash. Most other airbag makers use guanidine nitrate, which is less volatile.
Takata switched to ammonium nitrate in 2001, saying it produced gas more efficiently. Takata has denied accusations that that switch was cost related.
"The science clearly shows that these inflators become unsafe over time, faster when exposed to humidity and variations of temperature," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind.
The latest death confirmed to be linked to Takata was in Texas, where a 17-year-old girl was killed after being in a relatively minor crash in her family's 2002 Honda Civic.
On Wednesday, Malaysian authorities said two people had died in recent car crashes in which Takata airbags exploded with too much force. They have yet to definitively link the deaths to the airbags.
Known as "Swarb", the musician performed mainly on the violin and wrote many of the group's songs.
The band posted a tribute on their website which said Swarbrick "had been seriously ill for some time".
He had struggled with health problems after being diagnosed with emphysema in the 1990s.
Blur guitarist Graham Coxon was one of a number of musicians to pay tribute to Swarbrick, tweeting early footage of him playing mandolin with Martin Carthy with the message: "Very sad... Bye, Dave and thanks!"
Poets Michael Rosen and Ian McMillan also both shared their thoughts about Swarbrick, with Rosen calling him a "fiddler supreme" and McMillan recalling how "his playing on Fairport Convention's Sloth broke my heart every time".
Born in London in 1941, Swarbrick played on recordings with folk pioneers Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger before coming to prominence as a guest on Fairport Convention's classic 1969 album Unhalfbricking.
He went on to become a permanent member of the band, writing and arranging songs for their albums - including on the influential electric folk album Liege & Lief - and performing with them up until they disbanded in 1979.
He also recorded his own solo albums, as well as working with the likes of Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch and fellow Fairport alumni Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson.
In 1999, the Daily Telegraph wrongly reported Swarbrick's passing and published an obituary after he was spotted going into hospital. He would later print off copies, sign them and take them to gigs to sell to fans.
He spoke to BBC Radio 4 about the mistake in February, saying he was "happy" about what was written about him, "because far from damaging my career, it had enhanced it somewhat".
He later underwent three tracheotomies and sometimes had to perform with an oxygen canister on stage to help with his breathing.
Following a double lung transplant in 2004, he continued to tour and produce music, winning a BBC Folk Award for his 2006 collaboration with Carthy, Straws in the Wind.
Referring to his health problems, John Spiers of folk supergroup Bellowhead said Swarbrick had "deserved the extra lungs because he had more heart than anyone else", while writer Frank Cottrell-Boyce shared a story of seeing him play with his oxygen mask.
Other tributes came from folk guitarist John Smith, who shared an anecdote about Swarbrick's reaction to fellow musician John Martyn's leg amputation, and musician and comedian Mike Harding, who called Swarbrick "the best English fiddler of his generation".
Swarbrick is survived by his wife, Jill.
The Cottagers replaced Meulensteen as boss with Felix Magath on Friday but the Dutchman had said he remained under contract at the club.
The trio, who were only appointed in the past four months, leave along with coaches Mick Priest and Jonathan Hill.
As part of the changes, Tomas Oral comes in as first-team coach and Werner Leuthard is the new conditioning coach.
Former Bayern Munich coach Magath signed an 18-month contract with the Premier League's bottom side last week.
Meulensteen came into the club as head coach in November and replaced Martin Jol as manager less than three weeks later.
He brought in Curbishley as first-team technical director on Christmas Day and Wilkins as assistant head coach on 30 December.
However former Manchester United coach Meulensteen, who won four of 17 games in charge, was not mentioned in a club statement announcing Magath's arrival.
Chairman Shahid Khan told the club website: "I'm very grateful to Rene, Alan and Ray, as well as Mick and Jonathan, for their commitment to Fulham. Their efforts were admirable and appreciated, and I wish them the best.
"Felix has come to Fulham with purpose and exceptional confidence, and I know he's extremely pleased to have Tomas Oral and Werner Leuthard join him for the mission ahead.
"From today forward, the focus is singularly on winning football matches and remaining in the Premier League. The work has begun."
Dominique Heaggan-Brown shot and killed Sylville Smith, 23, on 13 August 2016 after he fled from police. The death sparked two days of riots in Milwaukee.
Prosecutors decided to charge him after police body camera footage allegedly showed the officer shooting Smith in the chest as he lay on the ground.
Smith was armed with a pistol, but threw it over a fence before his death.
Both the victim and the former police officer are African-American.
Mr Heaggan-Brown, 24, has already been fired from the police force due to an unrelated investigation accusing him of sexual assault.
According to the criminal complaint, the body camera video shows Smith fall to his back after being shot by the officers who had pursued him on foot after he fled from a traffic stop.
Mr Heaggan-Brown's first bullet hit Smith in the right arm, as he was turning "his head and upper body towards the officers", while still holding the semi-automatic pistol.
"He then raises the gun upward while looking in the direction of the officers and throws the gun over the fence into the yard," the complaint reads.
After Smith was hit, a police body camera shows him fall to his back, with his arms extended upwards towards his head.
"Heaggan-Brown is observed standing a short distance from Smith with his weapon pointed down at Smith when Heaggan-Brown discharges a second shot from his weapon at what appears to be Smith's chest."
A review of the body camera video "confirms that at the time of the second shot, Smith was unarmed and had his hands near his head".
According to investigators, 1.69 seconds elapsed between the first and second shots.
Police chief Ed Flynn had fired Mr Heaggan-Brown from the police force in October after he was charged with sexual assault in an unrelated case.
Prosecutors say that Mr Heaggan-Brown went to a bar with another man on the night of 14 August - one day after the shooting - where they drank and watched the riots on TV.
The man told authorities that the former Milwaukee officer bragged that he could do whatever he wanted without repercussions, and that he later woke up to the officer sexually assaulting him.
He has also been charged with soliciting sex from two people, as well as sexually assaulting another person in July 2016 and photographing the naked victim.
If found guilty of reckless homicide he could face 60 years in prison.
UK researchers measured the finger length of 110 people, including 47 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of the disease.
The study, in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, suggests a link between a longer fourth finger relative to the index finger and ALS.
Experts say finger length cannot help screen for ALS and more work is needed.
The ratio between the fingers has already been linked to many traits, including sporting prowess and aggression, and is believed to be set in the womb.
Experts believe a longer fourth finger relative to the index finger could be partly determined by how much exposure a baby has to the male hormone testosterone before birth.
Indeed, men often do have slightly longer ring fingers than index fingers, while women often do not.
And experts know that motor neurons need testosterone for survival and repair, and men who are born without the ability to use testosterone in the normal way develop a form of motor neuron degeneration.
Dr Brian Dickie of the Motor Neurone Disease Association, said: "This simple, but carefully conducted study raises some interesting questions about how events occurring before birth may increase the risk of developing motor neuron disease later in life.
"But it's important to remember that exposure to higher testosterone in the womb does not directly cause motor neuron disease.
"Many people with long ring fingers will never develop motor neuron disease as we believe there are numerous genetic and environmental factors that need to coincide in order to trigger the disease."
Dr Babatunde Osotimehin told the BBC that the custom was a human rights abuse and needed to end immediately.
More than 200 million women and girls around the world have undergone the procedure, where parts of the female genitals are removed.
The UN estimates a further three million are at risk of being mutilated.
Dr Osotimehin said: "There is absolutely no reason to cut anybody, and it seemed to us that it is part of the gender imbalance that has always existed in these communities which are based on patriarchy. I think it's child abuse."
The organisation had previously referred to the practice as a human rights violation, but has stopped short of calling it child abuse.
FGM is practiced mainly in parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
It involves the partial or total removal of the female external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
Some countries in Africa are working to change traditional perceptions of FGM.
At the moment about one in five women in Kenya has been cut.
But the UN children's charity, Unicef, says Kenya could eradicate the practice in the next 15 years.
However, deeply entrenched traditions in some communities in this region, and across the world, make this a major challenge.
Welsh ministers are considering plans for the £425m Circuit of Wales before deciding whether to back the scheme.
But Monmouth MP David Davies said it was "time to pull the plug".
Lawyers for the project have accused the MP of campaigning to undermine what was potentially one of Wales' most significant regeneration projects.
Welsh Government Economy Secretary Ken Skates has promised "rigorous value for money testing" on the proposals.
Ministers have told developers to find at least half the cash from private sources.
Speaking during the annual Commons Welsh Affairs debate marking St David's Day, Mr Davies said: "It is time to pull the plug on this.
"If the Welsh Government wants to put £200m of our money at risk, there are better ways of doing it, and better people to be doing it with.
"Politicians who support it are being taken out to lunch and those who are asking difficult questions are being threatened with legal advice by an expensive group of city lawyers, £9m worth of taxpayers money is being wasted."
Mr Davies said that he was intrigued as to why the Circuit of Wales project keeps "increasing in costs".
He told MPs he had obtained a copy of a quote - seen by BBC Wales - from the Spanish company FCC that has the contract to build the track.
It is not dated, but prices the project at almost £180m.
Mr Davies said that "even with a few hotels chucked in that takes a bit of explaining".
He said that he had passed on his information to the Wales Audit Office.
In February, the developers said they looked forward to beginning construction by the spring of this year.
They have previously claimed the scheme could eventually result in 6,000 jobs, attract 750,000 visitors a year and inject an estimated £50m into the Welsh economy each year.
Circuit of Wales lawyers said they would study Mr Davies's speech carefully when it is published in the parliamentary record Hansard and give a detailed response then.
They said: "Mr Davies' comments in the House of Commons today are just the latest example of his continued attempts to misrepresent The Circuit of Wales and its developers, based on misinformation and a misunderstanding of the financial structure of the development, despite having been provided detailed information about the project."
The lawyers accused Mr Davies of conducting a "sustained campaign to undermine the efforts made by the Welsh Government to progress The Circuit of Wales, which has the potential to be one of the most significant regeneration projects that Wales has ever seen".
The Circuit of Wales said it will lodge a complaint with the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner about Mr Davies' conduct, on Friday.
David Davis said the government would maintain the Common Travel Area and all the benefits it had in Northern Ireland before the UK entered the EU.
He was answering a question from Sammy Wilson, DUP, in the House of Commons.
He said the government would resolve any problems posed by the border.
Meanwhile, a think tank has said introducing a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as a result of Brexit would have a devastating effect on border communities.
The Centre for Cross Border Studies is hosting a discussion in Brussels to discuss the Brexit vote.
Anthony Soares, the centre's deputy director, said border controls would set communities back decades.
The UK electorate voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48% in June's referendum.
In Northern Ireland, the majority (56%) of those who went to the polls voted to stay in the EU.
Mr Soares added: "The introduction of a hard border would really, really undermine the economic development of the border region.
"Some parts of our border region are already struggling in terms of perhaps being overlooked by central governments, whether it's in Belfast, London or Dublin, that have other priorities.
"The border region would suffer even more if the hard border was to be reintroduced."
Protests against Brexit took place in a number of areas along the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic on Saturday.
The demonstrations were organised by campaign group Border Communities against Brexit.
The body cameras have been used by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW) since 1 March.
They can be turned on if situations with patients become serious, and are also able to record audio footage.
The trust says the move will help to keep patients and staff safe from violence.
More on this story and others from Coventry and Warwickshire
An NHS Protect report revealed there were 188 reported assaults on staff in 2014-15, compared to 156 in the previous 12-month period and 89 in 2010-11.
Body cameras are already in use at hospitals in Cardiff, Oxford and Sussex.
Verbal warning will be issued before turning on the audio recording equipment, and the footage could be used in any potential court case.
Staff have been given training in using the cameras, as well as on the legal issues around evicting people from the hospital.
UHCW security manager Barry Newell said security staff are only deployed at hospitals "in extreme circumstances" and cameras would only be used "when absolutely necessary".
"Occasionally a small minority [of patients and visitors] do show violence or aggression, and these measures will assist our security teams in helping the police investigate any incidents of criminal behaviour," he said.
Somerset began on 135-8, but were quickly out for 147 as Gareth Berg (4-28) dismissed last man Jack Leach.
With a lead of 64, the hosts tried to set up a run-chase, but they had fallen to 96-5 when rain arrived.
George Bailey declared leaving Somerset 161 to win from 31 overs, but once Steven Davies (47) fell they batted for the draw, narrowly escaping on 88-8.
There were points when both teams looked like they might win this low-scoring affair, but ultimately the overs lost to rain over the four days prevented a win for either side.
Liam Dawson (20), Rilee Rossouw (22) and James Vince (20) all made starts in Hampshire's second innings, but a second collapse of the match left it in the hands of captain Bailey to declare.
His declaration had Somerset hopeful of securing a first County Championship of the season, but batting against the pink ball was difficult under the floodlights and Berg had Marcus Trescothick and Adam Hose caught to leave the visitors 4-2.
Davies scored swiftly, but regular wickets from Kyle Abbott (2-33) and Ian Holland (2-23) undermined their chase, leaving Craig Overton and Josh Davey to survive the final over from Berg.
Andrew Batten, 42, died in hospital after he was attacked at a taxi rank in Vicar Lane, Leeds, on 13 October 1995.
West Yorkshire Police said a 45-year-old man was in custody.
It comes after the force made a fresh appeal for information about the death last month.
Mr Batten, who lived in Beeston, had gone out after finishing work and was still wearing his Royal Mail uniform.
He was found on the pavement by an ambulance crew after an anonymous call and was taken to Leeds General Infirmary with a fractured skull. He died two days later.
He was believed to have been punched by a man, who was with a woman, in the taxi queue at the rear of the Victoria Quarter.
On social networks many people made fun of the popular saying, "God is Brazilian".
"If God is Brazilian," asked one person, "then why is the Pope from Argentina?"
In St Peter's Square in Rome, Brazilians danced and waved their national flag and insisted they were happy over the choice of Pope Francis, despite much speculation that Sao Paulo's Archbishop Odilo Scherer was the leading Latin American candidate.
One of the first engagements of the new Pope will be to come to the city of Rio de Janeiro to help celebrate World Youth Day from 23 to 28 July.
At the headquarters in Rio, where they are preparing for the event, volunteers shouted: "Long live the Pope" when Francis appeared on TV, and joined with him in prayer at the start of his papacy.
The church in Brazil is under enormous pressure due to the growth of evangelical churches and a rise in secularism.
There had been a hope that a Brazilian pope would help to stem that challenge, and it is likely that expectation will extend to a pope from neighbouring Argentina, a Church leader who clearly understands the region well.
Pope Francis is the first pontiff from Latin America, where four in 10 Catholics live.
Brazil and Argentina are longstanding rivals, especially on the football pitch, so there was a lot of humour on social networks.
On Twitter, one person claimed that atheism was certain to rise in Brazil now that the Pope was from Argentina, while another said it would certainly boost the evangelical church.
Another tweet, in a reference to the famous "hand of God" episode involving footballer Diego Maradona in a match against England in 1986, claimed the new Pope would be likely to allow football "hand goals".
Prompted by the same incident, another Brazilian on Twitter said the new Pope shouldn't be called Francis I, but Diego II.
There is also a hash tag running on Twitter #PopeIsArgentineanButGodisBrazilian.
Despite all the humour, there is certain to be a general welcome for a pope from South America which has sometimes been dubbed "the forgotten continent".
Flavio Scherer, brother of Cardinal Odilo Scherer, said he was "relieved" by the decision.
"I am not disappointed," the retired university professor told BBC Brasil. "On the contrary, if elected the pressure on my brother would have begun immediately.
"The Catholic Church needs to act as quickly as possible to stem the loss in followers," he added.
The secretary general of the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops, Leonardo Steiner, said that the choice of a pope from the Americas was a result of the opening up of the Catholic Church.
"No longer is the Church only turned towards Europe," he said.
"If it had been a Brazilian, we would have been happy, but we are happy," he said.
But Sir Alan, the former judge who heads the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso), said papers were unlikely to face exemplary £1m fines.
In a speech to the Society of Editors, he said Ipso would use a "slim, clear book of rules" not an "iron fist".
He insisted he did not want a "boring, defensive" press, but an "unruly" one.
"Mistakes and errors of judgement will always occur," said Sir Alan.
"But if you do so deliberately, flagrantly, without caring one jot whether you break the code or not, Ipso will damn you.
"We want a free, fair and unruly press ruled only by an independent regulator, Ipso, who will support you and encourage you to remain free, fair and unruly."
Most newspapers have signed up to Ipso, which replaced the much criticised Press Complaints Commission in the wake of the Leveson report into press standards.
The Guardian, Independent and Financial Times are three of those that have declined to embrace the new watchdog.
Campaign group Hacked Off, which wants tougher press regulation, has dismissed Ipso as a "sham".
Sir Alan has said Ipso will prove its independence with its actions.
Referring to the prospect of exemplary fines, Sir Alan said: "When Ipso was launched we were all told how different the regulatory regime would be now that there was power to fine up to £1m or 1% of annual turnover.
"And they said, 'There you are... now you can show your mettle by fining someone £1m, that's what you need.'
"You only have to say that, to see how unlikely it is. Proper successful independent regulation will not be established by manic firing of a big bazooka."
Sir Alan said Ipso's decisions would occasionally be unpopular.
"But we are not here to be popular. We are not here only to secure agreement but to manage disagreement.
"Of course it is important that there should be urgent and speedy resolution of complaints. Publications should be encouraged to settle disputes, with fairness, clarity and above all without delay."
One of the first tests for the new watchdog is the case of the Conservative former minister, Brooks Newmark, who resigned in September after a newspaper sex sting.
The Sunday Mirror has said its report that Mr Newmark sent explicit pictures of himself to a male undercover journalist claiming to be a woman was in the public interest but critics have questioned the paper's methods.
Ipso has said it is continuing to investigate although a complaint against the newspaper has since been dropped - the first time a British press regulator has pursued a case in the absence of a complainant.
The Spaniard left Wigan Athletic to take over at Goodison Park last summer and guided the Toffees to fifth.
Everton's tally of 72 points was their highest ever in the Premier League as they secured a place in Europe for the first time since 2010.
"I knew from the moment I arrived at Everton that this was a special place," Martinez, 40, told the club's website.
The former Swansea City boss, who succeeded David Moyes when the Scot left to take over at Manchester United, won praise for the team's style of football.
He has also helped to bring through a number of young players, including England pair Ross Barkley and John Stones.
Martinez added: "I loved my first season at the club. I could not be more proud of the way Everton performed throughout the entire season and the memories we were able to make together."
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright said: "In many commentators' eyes, Roberto Martinez is the best young manager in Europe. We agree.
"He took on an unfamiliar challenge for most managers - to take something really good and make it even better.
"He undertakes his business with great style, confidence, positivity and class. He is an Everton man."
Fans of Bristol City, Gillingham and Luton will all enjoy the look of the league tables tonight, even if it is still early days.
Here, BBC Sport rounds up all the other stories you may have missed from Saturday's EFL games.
A first win of the season. A first win for the new manager. And a first home win in six months.
Not a bad afternoon for Aston Villa fans, who suffered a miserable relegation campaign that saw them win just twice in the Premier League at Villa Park last season.
Two goals from Rudy Gestede and Jack Grealish's second-ever Villa goal against Rotherham gave them their first three points on Trinity Road since they beat Norwich 2-0 on 6 February.
"I wouldn't say it is a big relief, but we are pleased," boss Roberto di Matteo told BBC WM. "We wanted to start our season at home with a positive result.
"I have to say the supporters were fantastic today, they got behind the team and we gave them something back as well."
Speaking of runs ending, Bolton Wanderers got a monkey of their own off their backs on Saturday.
Wanderers' travelling support went the entire 2015-16 season without seeing a win on the road as they suffered relegation from the Championship.
New boss Phil Parkinson, however, has ended a run of 495 days without an away victory thanks to a Liam Trotter-inspired 2-1 win at AFC Wimbledon.
"I was aware of the record." Parkinson told BBC Radio Manchester after his side's second successive victory in League One.
"We had a meeting in the hotel last night and we went through the requirements we felt were needed - we asked the lads what they felt and we said 'no excuses.' You could feel the release of tension when the whistle went from all of our supporters."
Euro 2016 had many memorable moments - but the viral spread of the 'Will Grigg's on fire' chant for the Northern Ireland striker was one of the sounds of the summer.
Wigan fan Sean Kennedy is credited with popularising the chant using Gala's 1996 song 'Freed From Desire', and even earned a free season ticket for his efforts.
Despite the success of the song, of which a dance version reached the top 10 in the downloads chart, Grigg did not enjoy the best of summers as he did not play for his country in France. However...
He has since picked up from where he left off with his 28 goals in Wigan's League One title-winning season last season, scoring his first league goal this term in a 3-0 win against Blackburn on Saturday.
Grigg now has 13 goals in his last 13 games for the Latics, or 21 in 23 if you want to go back a little further. Not a bad record.
Nick Powell, who rejoined Wigan from Manchester United in the summer, also scored in the game - his first goal since March 2014.
Sticking with the chants theme, Wolves' new boss Walter Zenga has been getting to grips with the Molineux faithful.
The former Italy goalkeeper replaced Kenny Jackett at the beginning of the season and has yet to taste defeat, guiding his team to a 2-0 win over Reading on Saturday.
On his first job in England, the 56-year-old has quickly endeared himself to fans by calling Wolves the biggest team in Italy, before telling his players he wanted to make their home stadium a fortress.
He has also today learned of the power of a wave...
We've all been stuck behind traffic on the way to a game, right?
Frustrating, yes, but worrying if you are actually working at the game you are travelling to. And, by working, I mean kicking the ball and being in charge of the team.
Notts County manager John Sheridan and four of his squad were caught in traffic on the M1 ahead of their 1-1 draw at Meadow Lane against Stevenage.
However, the local police got wind of the situation and gave the Magpies boss and his players, including goalscorer Jon Stead and striker partner Jonathan Forte, a lift to prevent the game being delayed.
The point means Sheridan's side are still yet to pick up a win in their first three games of the season and they sit 22nd in League Two.

The French president told the leaders of 12 former colonies: "There are debts which are never extinguished. It was time to recognise that."
Hundreds of thousands of Africans served France in two world wars and the Algerian war of independence.
Tens of thousands are still alive and will benefit from new pension laws.
However, the BBC's Tidiane Sy in Senegal says there has not been an enthusiastic response to the announcement.
He says most of the war veterans who campaigned for equal pensions are no longer alive, while others are so frail they are no longer able to enjoy the extra money.
Mr Sarkozy said his government had agreed at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday to introduce "perfect equality" of military pensions for veterans of French forces - regardless of what country they lived in.
France had previously resisted paying the same pension to veterans of its armed forces who did not live in French territory, though many are in countries that were French colonies at the time of their service.
The new military pension law will come into force next January at the latest, it is reported.
Mr Sarkozy made the announcement on Tuesday at a lunch in Paris for the 12 leaders, who are in France to take part in its national celebrations on Wednesday.
It comes after a ruling in May from France's constitutional council.
It decided that the long-established practice of paying veterans from former colonies between one-tenth and one-fifth of the benefits given to French soldiers was illegal.
One of the African leaders at the lunch, Mali's President Amadou Toumani Toure, called it a "historic decision".
African veterans, who also fought in the Indochina wars of 1945-54, saw their pensions frozen at the end of the 1950s.
War veterans in other countries have fought similar battles. In Britain, retired Gurkhas have campaigned over unequal pension rights.
After calling the election in search of an increased majority, the Conservatives have emerged with 13 fewer seats than they held at the start of the campaign.
Labour - widely expected to lose seats to the Tories - made a net gain of 30 seats.
Of those seats it won, 28 came from the Conservatives, while of those it lost, six went in the other direction.
The BBC has spoken to former Tory voters in some of those lost seats to find out why they changed their minds.
David Manning, 64, has supported the Conservatives for most of his life. Living in the Plymouth Sutton and Devonport constituency, he was among the voters who helped Labour candidate Luke Pollard take the seat from Conservative Oliver Colvile - increasing Labour's share of the vote by 16.7%.
A retired teacher, he says the idea that he would have voted for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party was laughable at the beginning of the campaign.
"I was even ridiculing him," he told the BBC.
"At the start of the campaign I was totally against Jeremy Corbyn. My switch from blue to red was a surprise even to myself.
"However, as the campaign progressed I warmed to him and cooled to Mrs May."
David has voted for Labour only once before, when Tony Blair was leading the party.
"Mrs May was wooden and lacked charisma," he said.
"And having witnessed first hand the way education has been dismantled by the Tories, I concluded that the alternative Labour was offering was far better for the country.
"I've watched my partner's school become an academy and have the money sucked out of it.
"I read every manifesto and asked myself an honest question: 'What do I think is best for the country?'
"I believe in Labour's manifesto."
David believes there has been a shift in public opinion and he thinks that is a trend which could continue.
Labour's victory in Canterbury - achieved with a majority of just 187 but representing a 21% swing from 2015 - suggests he could be right.
The Kent seat had been held by the Conservatives since 1918. Sir Julian Brazier - the sitting Conservative MP - had represented the area since 1987. New York based Financial Times columnist John Authers described Labour's victory there as the "rough equivalent, in US terms, of Democrats taking Texas".
Sharon Dawson and her husband Michael voted for Labour. In the past they have voted for both the main parties. Sharon voted Labour in 2015 while Michael plumped for the Conservatives.
"We are pleased but very surprised," Sharon said. "With such a big majority we didn't really think it would happen."
Sharon is a teacher, while Michael is a microbiologist working in the NHS. Both said that austerity played a key role in their decision to support Labour.
"To lose more funding for us would basically mean losing teachers," Sharon said.
"You can only save so much in the NHS before you have to start making cutbacks to critical services," Michael added.
"The cuts have to stop."
Kent is one of the few parts of the country where a grammar school system still operates. Though popular with some, a Conservative commitment to expanding the selective school system - reaffirmed in the manifesto - has also drawn significant criticism, not least from within the Conservative Party itself.
"I don't think having more grammar schools will improve education for all," Sharon said.
"In a fair system all students should be offered the same level of education and educational experiences."
"The Tory manifesto wasn't for the people," Michael said.
"It was for the rich, the upper class. You look at the Tory potential spend on the NHS and compare it to what Labour were proposing and the Labour plans are much more viable. The NHS is in crisis."
Sharon says that in the week leading up to the election, rumours circulating on social media pointed to a tight result in Canterbury. But they were still caught off guard when the ballots had been counted.
"Did I think Labour could win Canterbury? Hell no!" said Michael.
"People are sick of austerity. I thought there might be a swing to Labour but to win was a shock."
In Kensington, London, the result was perhaps even more dramatic.
After several recounts, Labour candidate Emma Dent Coad was declared the winner, defeating Conservative Victoria Borwick by just 20 votes. Ms Borwick's share of the vote dropped by more than 10% while Ms Dent Coad saw Labour's vote climb by more than 11%.
Kensington and Chelsea voted overwhelmingly to remain in the 2016 EU referendum, with almost 69% of voters opting to maintain Britain's EU membership.
Some social media users have declared the electoral upset in Kensington, where the Liberal Democrats also increased their vote share by close to 7%, the "revenge of the remainers".
Lorna, 58, voted against the Conservatives for the first time in her life.
"Victoria Borwick is particularly pro-Brexit so doesn't represent her constituency," she said.
"I think Brexit is nuts."
Lorna did not vote for Labour, but instead opted for a pro-remain independent. A number of the voters the BBC spoke to in the area told similar stories.
One 54-year-old man, who did not want to be named, said that he had voted for the Conservatives in the last eight elections but switched to the Liberal Democrats because "I am a remainer and I didn't like Theresa May's rhetoric".
Labour voter Gabriela Sexton said she was "delighted" with the result.
"The borough of Kensington was incredibly complacent," she said.
"No one ever came to see us from the Tory party [during the campaign]."
Briony Jones normally votes for the Green Party, but chose to opt for Labour in this election.
"I think change is good because we have never had a MP of a different complexion to the council," she said.
"I thought actually who had the most chance [of winning] and I read up on Emma Dent Coad and I liked what I read.
"I'm jolly pleased."

Eight months after taking a memorable Aintree Grand National with Rule The World, the same owner-trainer-jockey combination returns to Liverpool with their sights on another renowned prize on jump racing's most famous track.
This time, owner and airline tycoon Michael O'Leary, trainer Michael 'Mouse' Morris and jockey David Mullins are targeting the Betfred Becher Chase, staged around three-quarters of the Grand National course where the forbidding Becher's Brook must be cleared just once.
With last spring's Merseyside star - which carried the silks of O'Leary's racing operation, Gigginstown House Stud - now retired, they are represented by Rogue Angel, who teed up an unforgettable fortnight for the owner and trainer when winning Ireland's Grand National 12 days before Aintree.
And Morris believes the eight-year-old, who has had a small procedure aimed at assisting his breathing since finishing last at Cork in November, could one day himself "rule the world".
He said: "Rogue Angel would be a real National type. We've won it once so everything else would be a bonus, [but] there's no point sleeping if you don't dream.
"He had a slight wind problem and wasn't getting home so he had a small operation and that seems to have made a difference.
"We'll see how he gets on [in the Becher Chase], but all being well he'll probably have another run and then we'd plan to keep him fresh for the Grand National - of course I'd love to win another one."
The victory of Rule The World, who was pensioned off because it was felt that he had no more to prove, turned out to be a vintage Aintree fairytale.
The horse, winning his only steeplechase at the 14th attempt, was bouncing back after a catalogue of injuries which included fracturing his pelvis twice. Meanwhile, at 19 his jockey, a nephew of Irish champion trainer Willie Mullins, was amongst the youngest riders to win in the race's 177-year history.
But for raw emotion, it was Morris who was the centre of attention as he spoke of continuing to come to terms with the tragic loss of his son Christopher - 'Tiffer' - who died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning aged 30 in 2015, while on holiday in South America.
Looking to the skies, the one-time leading jockey famously declared that "Tiffer was working overtime for me".

April's 33-1 victory came over joint favourite The Last Samuri, who will also be returning to Aintree for the Becher Chase in which jockey of the moment Brian Hughes, the winner of 31 races during November, is due to ride.
Talking of form, Colin Tizzard, trainer of big names Cue Card, Thistlecrack and Native River, looks to make jump racing's Saturday headlines for the fifth week running with Viconte Du Noyer.
And attempting to make Becher Chase history by becoming the first back-to-back winner, will be the Jimmy Moffatt-trained Highland Lodge.
The 10-year-old is to be ridden by jockey Henry Brooke, who recently made a comeback from an injury considered serious enough by doctors for him to spend several days in an induced coma in October.
Cumbria-based Moffatt said: "The horse has had a nice, gradual run [build-up] as he's been in full training since the middle of July. He hasn't been on track but that's been on purpose as we have lovely big fields here we can work around.
"It was soft ground when he won last year, and obviously we'd like conditions to be replicated as much as possible, but if you dip back in his form he's run some good races on good ground too."
A total of 24 runners have been confirmed for the feature at Aintree, while six will be chasing the weekend's other major British prize, the two-mile Betfair Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.
With Sprinter Sacre, the reigning champion chaser over the distance, retired because of injury, another old favourite Sire De Grugy looks to win the race for what would be a record-equalling third time.
As usual, jockey Jamie Moore rides Sire De Grugy for his trainer-father Gary, who also saddles Ar Mad, a winner on the Sandown card in 2015, ridden by Jamie's brother Josh.
Heading the field is the Ruby Walsh-ridden Irish chaser Un De Sceaux, runner-up to Sprinter Sacre at the Cheltenham Festival, and expected to be a standard-bearer for the Willie Mullins stable in the months ahead.
The bookies were predicting that Mullins, for whom Un De Sceaux will be his first runner of the season in Britain, would saddle the brilliant, 10-race winning six-year-old Douvan, but he misses the race.
I suppose it's easy to say when you haven't backed him, but, in my opinion, it was slightly disappointing that some ante-post bets on Douvan were returned. The risk of being a late non-runner is, after all, what betting in advance of a race is all about.
BBC Radio 5 live will be at Aintree and Sandown for all the news on Saturday.
Liberal Democrat Aled Roberts asked why Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board had spent so much filling doctors' shifts over the last eighteen months.
The board is currently being supported by government officials as it tries to improve its management.
The Welsh government said spending on agency staff would be tackled.
A new team of managers is trying to turn the board's fortunes around after a critical watchdog report in 2013 led to the resignations of several senior figures.
Mr Roberts told the assembly's Public Accounts Committee on Tuesday that Betsi Cadwaladr had spent £12.5m on locum doctors in 2013/14 and £8.3m during the first five months of 2014/15, and that expenditure on agency nurses had also increased substantially.
He asked government officials: "Have any of you actually been on wards and discussed how chaotic the whole situation is, where basically they decide at 5 o'clock in the evening how many nurses they are going to phone up for?"
Committee chairman Darren Millar added: "There is significant potential here that the committee sees for cost reduction whilst maintaining levels of service and the staff complements that the board needs.
"It is a concern to us that we are seeing rising agency costs at a time when we would anticipate that this is one of the areas that needs to be focused on in terms of cost reduction."
Dr Andrew Goodall, director general of health and social services at the Welsh government, replied: "This is one of the areas that we will be focusing on with the intervention.
"We do have an expectation that locum and agency spend is reduced."
The bronze plaque was prised from the front of All Saints' Church by thieves in 2007. It was later recovered from a nearby scrap dealers.
Commemorating the lives of men from Gjers Mills ironworks, it will now be repaired thanks to £8,500 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Father Glyn Holland said he was "delighted" it was finally being fixed.
The money will also be used to fund a project exploring the impact of World War One on Middlesbrough, its industries and churches.
Frustrated with traditional monitoring and its risks, Mr Samuelson and George have since joined a growing group of T1 sufferers who are building their own solutions to manage their diabetes - even though they come with their own uncertainties.
Traditional monitoring involves taking blood samples from the fingertips several times a day and administering precise injections of insulin to maintain blood sugar levels. However, over the course of an hour they can change dramatically and too much insulin can be fatal.
It works for many - new British Prime Minister Theresa May has talked openly about living with type 1 diabetes since her diagnosis in 2012.
"In basic management terms, it's the same for everybody," she told Diabetes UK in an interview.
"You have to get into a routine where you are regularly doing the testing."
But Mr Samuelson and George are among thousands who have chosen a different approach.
They are using Nightscout, an open source platform developed and run by a global community of type 1 diabetics.
Open source means it is freely available for anyone to use and modify - in this case at their own risk.
It's a combination of a commercial product called a Continuing Glucose Monitor (CGM), which provides constant updates, a DIY transmitter and the freely available Nightscout programming code which enables the CGM data to be shared with a cloud data storage area - where it can then be distributed to other devices.
So both father and son now receive constant updates on their phones (and George's smartwatch) and are able to assess George's needs minute by minute.
It has given George the gift of freedom - he can now join his friends on sleepovers and enjoy his favourite sports.
Mr Samuelson acknowledges that it is not without risk.
"I am using open source software to do calibrations. Open source software is giving me final numbers and it is not an approved algorithm - it's not going to be exactly the same as the proprietary algorithms," he says.
"But you have to make an informed decision... compared to all the other risks the benefits massively outweigh them."
Why not use the commercial products offering this shared data?
There are not many on the market - and they are expensive.
Rachel from Guildford is using G5, a system by Dexcom, to monitor her son Joe, also nine, but at current rates it will cost the family thousands of pounds a year.
Most of Dexcom's apps are also only compatible with Apple devices.
The homegrown alternatives aren't completely free either - you still need to buy a CGM and there is the cost of new sensors, which must be changed regularly.
Rachel says she was too nervous about the DIY nature of Nightscout - creating the transmitter for the data involves being handy with a soldering iron - but agrees that the benefits of the continuous data being accessible to them all have proved life-changing.
"We went climbing in the Peak District soon after we got it," she said.
"If we hadn't had the tech we would have completely scaled back on what we were planning to do that week. But we were able to use the Bluetooth, walking behind him and tracking him."
Another sufferer called Stephen Black created X Drip, which can pull data from Dexcom devices and share it with cloud storage.
He is not alone - search the hashtag #wearenotwaiting and you will find active voluntary groups of those living with the condition creating their own systems and making them available to all, frustrated with the slow pace of the market leaders.
Their activities are not subject to official testing and regulation as they are not commercial medical products.
"I'm a big proponent of the idea that patients are the experts of their own disease and know what the real problems are in managing the disease," said Dr Joyce Lee from the Night Scout Foundation, which is based in the US.
"They've created tools they need for their own daily management.
"What the tech has done is allowed healthcare to become participatory but the healthcare system has yet to become comfortable with that," she adds
"I'm a big fan of the maker movement - it will never go away. People will continue to innovate and create new versions."
One such "maker" is Tim Omer, who created his own Android app to work with X Drip. Mr Omer has an insulin pump and his app also offers suggestions as to how it should function to keep his levels steady.
Like Alistair Samuelson, Tim Omer believes the risks associated with the DIY tech are matched by the risks of living with type 1 diabetes itself.
"Diabetes is really risky. Right now we are given this [potentially] lethal medication called insulin and told, 'oh just inject and see what happens'," he said.
"So moving to a more logical system with a lot more information available is actually safer."
He says using his own app has been massively liberating.
"I can look at my watch right now and know i have 'x' amount of insulin inside me," he said.
"Twenty-five minutes ago my watch vibrated to tell me to turn my pump off because my blood sugars were low.
"I can go about my daily life knowing the app will notify me if i need to make a change."
There are many more out there - like Open APS (Artificial Pancreas System), another open source community project in which 85 people are managing their type 1 diabetes with kit which includes a Raspberry Pi microcomputer.
Those who choose to try it must build their own and it is also not approved by any regulatory bodies.
The diabetes charity JDRF is cautiously positive about these tools, throwing its own support behind a new project called Tidepool, which is FDA compliant and does not suggest insulin calculations.
"Such technology does seem to offer benefits to people with the condition - particularly parents of children with type 1 diabetes who get peace of mind by remotely checking their child's blood glucose levels via their smartphone," it said in a statement.
"But it's important to add that many of these open source systems available are unregulated. They are not yet subject to the stringent testing and assessment required before they can be approved for use by people with type 1 diabetes."

Ukraine took a 2-0 lead from the first leg to Maribor, but conceded after 11 minutes when home skipper Bostjan Cesar headed in from close range.
Slovenia pressed to take the tie into extra time but created few chances.
Home right-back Miso Brecko was sent off in injury time, before Andriy Yarmolenko secured Ukraine's spot by converting after a counter-attack.
Ukraine earned qualification to a European Championship finals for the first time, having automatically reached the 2012 tournament as co-hosts.
Now they will go to France hoping to improve on their group-stage exit three years ago.
Ukraine built a convincing first-leg lead in a dominant display in Lviv on Saturday, but offered little attacking threat in the first half of the return leg as Slovenia threatened a comeback.
After Cesar converted Valter Birsa's cross, the home side enjoyed plenty of possession as they searched for a second goal to level the aggregate score.
However, they could not beat Ukraine keeper Andriy Pyatov, who denied Cesar in the 74th minute with a smart one-handed save.
Brecko was dismissed for a high challenge as home frustrations grew, Yarmolenko finally converting the equaliser following a three-man Ukrainian breakaway.

The Alex have not banked a seven-figure cheque for a player since Luke Murphy left for Leeds United three years ago.
They must either produce their own or find rough-cut gems like Jamie Vardy, who Gradi bid for at Halifax six years ago, prior to him joining Fleetwood.
"We tried to get Vardy when he was at Halifax," Gradi told BBC Stoke.
Former Crewe manager Gradi's long-time number two Neil Baker, now the club's head of recruitment. first spotted Vardy playing for non league side Stocksbridge Park Steels - but it was after he had moved across Yorkshire to Halifax that the Alex tried to sign him.
"We offered £50,000, £60,000," said Gradi. "But they wanted over £100,000. I wasn't willing to pay that at the time because he was in trouble off the pitch, but he has managed to turn his life around and has become a terrific player."
Gradi revealed: "We also wanted Che Adams, but Sheffield United were prepared to go way beyond what we were willing to offer.
"Those non-league players have become more expensive. The market has changed in that respect. It is not so easy to find those players like we used to. You are not going to get a Geoff Thomas, David Platt or Neil Lennon on a free transfer anymore.
"We have to keep on producing our own outstanding players. We have got to coach them through and then handle them correctly in their quest to make that impact in the first team.
"At a recent supporters meeting there were a few murmurings after I said producing players is more important than winning games. But without producing players for our survival we wouldn't have the stadium, the training ground or the players we've had in the past. The trick is to do both on a consistent basis."
Prior to Murphy's move to Leeds, Crewe had generated major funds the previous summer when they sold Nick Powell to Manchester United and Ashley Westwood to Aston Villa.
But, in the last three years, the only funds generated have been Ryan Colclough's move to Wigan Athletic for around £300,000.
Coincidentally, Gradi's hopes of finding another player in the Powell mould comes at a time when the 22-year-old is looking for a new club, having been released at the end of last season by Manchester United.
Injuries have not helped in limiting the England Under-21 striker to just nine first-team appearances in his four years on the books at Old Trafford, during which he was farmed out on loan to Wigan Athletic, Leicester City and Hull City.
But Gradi backs him to bounce back, suggesting: "He still has time to have a very good career. It's a shame he has been so unlucky with injuries but he is still young. He may have to adjust and adapt his game but he is a matchwinner.
"I know he's struggled physically over the last few seasons but if a club can get him fit and running around again, then he has incredible ability. If he'd remained injury free and Alex had stayed at Manchester United then I'm sure he would have been challenging for an England place. He is certainly good enough."
Dario Gradi first signed Steve Davis as a player in 1983. He then employed him as his assistant manager over two decades later and it was to Davis that he handed over the reins when he stood down as Alex boss for the final time in November 2011 after a combined 26 years in charge.
Now Gradi is backing Davis to turn things round at Gresty Road following last season's relegation - and, at 74 years of age, he will remain as supportive a sounding board as he always has.
"I am fairly careful to stay out of first team affairs," added Gradi. " I wouldn't welcome a previous manager in the same building who is getting frustrated at what the first team are doing.
"But honesty is the best way. We have always been an open club and we talk about football all the time. At the end of home games, we'll go into the boardroom and sit down with the management team and the directors and talk about the game. It is civil and I am able to say what I think. Steve takes that fine. I'll say sometimes 'I wouldn't pick him' and he'll say 'I know you wouldn't' and we have laugh about it. It's his job.
"What the last two seasons have shown is that the team has not been good enough. We survived with five minutes left the season before and then finished bottom last season, so the fact is we didn't have a good enough team. I'm sure there will be some team rebuilding.
"But we have experienced relegation before. I was relegated three times and, in those days, there wasn't much of a murmur or any crusade to get me sacked."
Dario Gradi was talking to BBC Radio Stoke's Graham McGarry
The attorney general's office says the men have ignored three summonses to appear for questioning.
The alleged victim, Ahmad Eshchi, says he was kidnapped and assaulted at the vice-president's residence in November.
General Dostum, a former warlord, denies the claims.
He has also failed to respond to attempts to question him.
Mr Eshchi, the former governor of Gen Dostum's home province of Jowzjan in the north, was taken by the vice-president's men from a sporting event in the province on 24 November.
He said the vice-president and 10 other men assaulted him for five days.
He described the alleged abuse in graphic detail, although his account cannot be independently verified.
"He ordered his eight guards to undress me. They even [pulled] off my trousers," Mr Eshchi told BBC Afghan.
A Dostum spokesman called the allegations "a provocation", and said Mr Eshchi had been detained not by him, but by the country's intelligence service.
Gen Dostum is an ethnic Uzbek blamed for some of the worst atrocities in Afghanistan's long-running civil war. He joined the country's national unity government in 2014.
It was seen as a controversial move but one that could signal some kind of reconciliation, given his ability to secure the confidence of the Uzbek minority.
The office of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has promised a thorough investigation into the accusations of sexual assault. Mr Ghani is under pressure to show he takes allegations of human rights abuse and torture seriously.
What happens now is unclear.
Gen Dostum's office says he has legal standing similar to the president, and a two-thirds majority in parliament would be required to remove him from his post.
But the attorney general's office says he should be treated like any other citizen.
The BBC's Dawood Azami in Kabul says Gen Dostum is a powerful figure, with a lot of support among ethnic Uzbeks, so the government is moving slowly and cautiously.
In the London borough of Richmond, 67% of 11-year-olds reached the required standard in reading, writing and maths, according to provisional results.
But only 39% of 11-year-olds in Peterborough met the standard.
Head teachers' leader Russell Hobby said it indicated a system in chaos.
Schools minister Nick Gibb said the majority of pupils had performed well, adding that he wanted this success "to be the standard".
This year's tests, taken by 11-year-olds in England in May, were more demanding than those in previous years and based on a new curriculum.
Overall, just over 53% of children in state-funded schools met the grade in all three sets of tests.
In 2015, 80% met the standard - but those figures are not regarded as being comparable because they were under the previous system that was dropped this year.
Last year, under the old system, the gap between the highest performing areas, at 90%, and the lowest, at 73%, was narrower than this year.
The detailed provisional figures for this year show the highest performing local authorities concentrated in London, and parts of the North East and South East.
The poorest performing are in the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands and East of England.
This is a similar spread to that seen in recent years, according to the government statistical release, which also points out that that there was a small number of local authorities with "more extreme values".
Mr Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers said the results were still provisional but the wide variation between local authorities suggested a system "characterised by chaos and confusion".
In May the NAHT urged the government to cancel publication of this year's primary school results in England, warning of "serious mistakes" in the introduction of the new system which would make the results "unpredictable".
Mr Hobby said today's figures bear out concerns that the changes were "last minute" and "ill-thought out".
"The government should work with the profession to create a primary assessment system that works for pupils, teachers, school leaders and parents," said Mr Hobby, who also warned that data for individual schools, due to be published in December, could be "misleading".
Mr Gibb said the more rigorous curriculum and tests were designed to "build a country that works for everyone so that all children, regardless of background or ability have the opportunity to fulfil their potential".
"These figures show that many schools and local authorities have risen to the challenge and have delivered high standards but we want that success to be the standard everywhere.
"The government's objective is to extend that opportunity so every child has the excellent education they deserve," said Mr Gibb.
The top US spy said his experience demonstrated that everyone was vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Speaking at George Washington University, he also criticised the media for "giving air to what is criminal activity".
Documents from Mr Brennan's account have begun appearing on the website of anti-secrecy group Wikileaks.
Responsibility for the hack has been claimed by a man purporting to be a high school student protesting at US policy.
The hacker said he tricked telecommunications company Verizon into providing him access to the CIA chief's personal account.
Documents from the director's account that have been published so far include a list of contacts, as well as policy recommendations for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Mr Brennan said that nothing he had done was wrong.
He took time to criticise the press for their reporting on the hack, saying that "the implication of the reporting was that I was doing something wrong or inappropriate or in violation of my security responsibility, which was not certainly the case".
Organisers hope the parade and celebrations next June will "bring the whole community together".
David Lee-Bastable, chairman of Portsmouth LGBT Pride, said he believed the last event took place in 2003.
The festivities will feature a parade starting and ending at Victoria Park and stalls and performances in Guildhall Square.
The organisers are in discussions with Portsmouth City Council, as needs to happen with any event of this size, and it will need to be approved early next year.
Mr Lee-Bastable said: "We want to get everyone involved, not just the LGBT community.
"We felt that the time was right and I think Portsmouth needs it.
"It's a good opportunity for the city to turn around and say 'we support the LGBT community' and it also helps people to come together.
"The idea of Pride is to take away homophobic attitudes. It is just our sexuality that is different, we are trying to celebrate that.
"We want to make sure Portsmouth has a Pride."
The group's members are volunteering their time and Mr Lee-Bastable said they were looking for stewards and a treasurer and asked people to get in touch via their Facebook page.
Ryan Pettengell, 41, of King's Lynn, Norfolk, and Umar Balogun, 16, from London, died at Bawsey Pits, near King's Lynn, on 16 July 2013.
Mr Pettengell's partner, Lauren Cole, had swum out to save her boyfriend after seeing him get into trouble.
An inquest jury concluded that Mr Pettengell's death was an accident.
The hearing at Norwich Coroner's Court was told Mr Pettengell was with friends at the flooded quarry during the summer heatwave when he heard Umar was missing.
Mr Pettengell decided to swim out to an island to look for him, despite having broken his wrist a few weeks earlier and Ms Cole warning him not to go into the water.
After he got into difficulty, he called to her to throw him a stick or a log.
Ms Cole said she tried, but it wouldn't float.
She swam out to him, but after struggling to hold on to him, was forced to let go as he began to drag her under.
In a statement read to the inquest, she said: "I saw him swim about halfway and then he began to slow down.
"I grabbed his arm and started to pull him. I was being pulled under and I had to swim back to the side. As I swam back, I could see him going under."
Ms Cole said she saw bubbles on the surface where Mr Pettengell had been.
The inquest heard his body was found about 50m (165ft) from the shore.
Emergency services were at Bawsey Pits searching for Umar when they were alerted to Mr Pettengell's disappearance.
Firefighter Lee Broadhurst, who was responsible for search and recovery, said Mr Pettengell was likely to have been out of his depth.
PC Ryan Williams told the inquest he was there when Mr Pettengell drowned, but could not help because he was not a competent swimmer.
He said Mr Pettengell had told friends he was going to help search for Umar whose body, unbeknown to him, had already been found in a separate lake.
West Norfolk Council has since worked with the site's owners, Sibelco UK, to improve safety, the inquest heard.
Norfolk coroner Jacqueline Lake said she would prepare a report highlighting concerns about safety at the site.
Speaking outside the inquest, Mr Pettengell's best friend Wesley Moule, who was with him the day he died, said: "He was the sort of guy that if he knew someone was in trouble, he would have gone out of his way to help them out."
He said Mr Pettengell was a good swimmer and he thought he was joking when he first appeared to be in trouble.
"As soon as he didn't come back up again we realised that he wasn't and that something was seriously wrong," he said.
The referee deemed the pitch unplayable following an inspection at 09:00 GMT on Saturday.
Heavy snowfall on Friday had covered the playing surface at Vale Park, prompting the officials to call an inspection well ahead of kick-off.
Vale are currently 15th in the league table, three points ahead of the 18th-placed Dons.
This match has been postponed to play at a later date.
Lancashire County Council plans to stop the £85,000 subsidy it gives to the Fleetwood to Knott End ferry.
An online petition urging the council to change its mind has been backed by more than 1,300 people in three days.
Last week the council announced it planned to cut the equivalent of 367 full time jobs and 40 libraries.
The county council, which said it needs to reduce its budget by £65m over the next two years, pays half of the ferry's running costs, with Wyre Borough Council paying the other half.
Councillor Peter Gibson, Leader of Wyre Council, said: "I am really worried that the county council is looking at this service as though it isn't necessary, when it clearly is.
"If county withdrew their half we would really struggle to pay for all of it. We are not a transport authority at the end of the day."
The petition, which was started by local businesswoman Linzi Martin, said the ferry service was "a lifeline for many locals of Knott End and surrounding areas of Over Wyre who do not have transport".
The sailing lasts minutes, compared to an hour-long journey by road across Shard Bridge to Fleetwood.
The first official ferry service began in 1894 although fishermen had taken passengers across the River Wyre before that date.
A Lancashire County Council spokesman said it would not be commenting on the ferry funding, which will be part of the financial measures discussed at a cabinet meeting on Thursday.
With the score at 31-31, Sam Harrison bundled over for Tigers in the last minute at Kingsholm to seal the win.
Earlier, debutant Matt Scott crossed twice and tries from Charlie Sharples and Henry Purdy put the hosts 31-7 up.
But JP Pietersen, Harrison and Brendon O'Connor levelled things before Leicester's relentless pressure told.
It was the most sensational of comebacks from a Tigers side who were completely outplayed in the first half, with Scotland international Scott pulling all the strings.
The former Edinburgh centre got his Gloucester career off to a dream start with the first try of the game before racing through to add his second before the break - while England centre Manu Tuilagi's score was Tigers' only positive of the half.
However, it was another debutant, South Africa wing Pietersen, who started the turnaround for Leicester as he demonstrated all of his international class to finish in the left corner early in the second half.
Despite wave after wave of Tigers' pressure, not helped by Matt Kvesic's yellow card, Gloucester looked like holding on with a seven-point lead and three minutes remaining.
But 2007 World Cup winner Pietersen fed O'Connor, who danced his way through to score the eighth try of the night and a bonus point, before Harrison somehow managed to get the ball down from a driving maul.
Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys:
"I haven't experienced a game where there was such a difference between the first and second-half performances.
"Everything we did well in the first-half, we did badly in the second-half. We gave away too many penalties, and Leicester took advantage of every opportunity.
"The bottom line is it's not acceptable when you lead 31-7 at home, and then lose the game."
Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill:
"We played so poorly in the first 45 minutes, to say the least. We conceded cheap points, we couldn't execute anything. It was pretty average.
"Then, we decided we would hold on to the ball and do what we practised. We have got the capability of scoring tries. When our mentality is right, and we put that into action, we are a team that can compete.
"Credit to the players for getting themselves out of a very big hole they dug for themselves, but that first-half wasn't good enough and we need to be a lot better."
Gloucester: Marshall; Sharples, Scott, Twelvetrees, Purdy; Burns, Laidlaw (capt); Thomas, Hibbard, Afoa, Savage, Galarza; Moriarty, Kvesic, Morgan.
Replacements: Dawidiuk, McAllister, Doran-Jones, Latta, Rowan, Heinz, Hook, Evans.
Leicester: Tait; Veainu, Betham, Tuilagi, Pietersen; Burns, Harrison; Ayerza, Tom Youngs (capt), Bateman; Slater, Barrow, Hamilton, O'Connor, McCaffrey.
Replacements: McGuigan, Genge, Cole, Kitchener, Evans, Ben Youngs, Smith, Thompstone.
The Welshman, currently competing in the Tour de France, lives in Monaco, 12 miles from the southern French city.
The Team Sky rider won a race which finished in Nice in March.
"When you hear about it in places that you don't live it's bad enough, but when you live just down the road it's scary. It's really sad that that's the world we live in today," he said.
"You try not to think about it once you're going, but certainly this morning when I woke up to the news it was devastating, it's a huge tragedy."
There were doubts Friday's 13th stage at the Tour de France would go ahead after Thursday's attack, where a lorry drove through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day.
Tour officials decided to continue with the race, with a heightened security presence, and Thomas says it was the right thing to do.
"You can't give in to these people and you need to continue and obviously go about it the right way, but we need to all try to keep living our life," he said.
"Surrounding it maybe there will be more police presence and more security, which is good obviously.
"But as bike riders you try to just think about the race and zone into that."
There was a sombre atmosphere at both the start and finish lines on stage 13, with most riders not learning of the news from Nice until they woke up on Friday morning.
There was a minute's silence held before the first rider set off on the course, and another minute's silence was observed as the jersey holders stood on stage after the day's racing had finished.
Thomas is 15th in the overall Tour standings after a seventh place finish in Friday's time trial.
His Team Sky team-mate Chris Froome extended his lead to one minute and 47 seconds by finishing second in stage 13.
Federer, 34, said he had sustained the problem during practice on Saturday and had pulled out as a precaution.
The world number three hopes to play in the Masters event in Rome from 9-15 May, the last major tournament before the French Open.
Federer, Madrid champion in 2012, returned to action in Monte Carlo in April following knee surgery.
"I arrived and I was OK," said Federer. "Then I practiced on Saturday and hurt my back a little bit and stopped early. I was supposed to practice for two hours - I had to stop after an hour and 15 minutes.
"At this point I don't want to take more chances as I know I'm not going to be fully ready for Wednesday. I would rather play it safe and rest up now and get ready for Rome."

The Picture House in Campbeltown has now raised almost all the £3m it needs for a major refurbishment.
The cinema, which opened in 1913, closed last year. It is hoped restoration will begin later this year.
Campbeltown Community Business, which runs the cinema, has secured money from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Creative Scotland and Historic Scotland.
Contributions have also been made from various trusts, foundations and corporate donors as well as Argyll and Bute Council.
In recent months efforts have been made at securing additional funding from other sources.
Now the money has been raised, the work should go out to tender later in the summer.
The A-listed cinema on Campbeltown's waterfront described itself for many years as the "oldest continuously-run purpose-built cinema in Scotland".
The cinema in Bo'ness is older but was closed for many years.
The Picture House closed its doors in August last year so the community business could focus its efforts on raising money for the refurbishment and modernisation of the building, which is in need of repair.
The charity's plans include the building of a small, second auditorium to allow a wider range of films to be shown, along with a cafe and an exhibition area.
The redevelopment of The Picture House comes alongside the wider redevelopment of the Campbeltown area which has suffered years of economic and physical decline.
A major restoration project is currently underway at the Town Hall.
Meanwhile the last year of a three year pilot to test the market for a ferry service to Ayrshire is currently under way.
The 24-year-old spent two seasons with the National League side between 2012 and 2014 where he made 86 appearances and scored seven goals.
He left to join Grimsby, where he spent 18 months, and spent the latter part of 2015-16 at Tranmere but made just one start and seven substitute outings.
Mackreth is the first new signing made by manager John Askey for next season.

During health questions in the House of Commons, Mr Hunt said he "didn't want to wait".
Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said Mr Hunt had been "irresponsible".
The Conservatives have offered seven day per week access to GPs should they win the general election.
During a health debate in parliament on Tuesday, Conservative MP Mr Hunt said: "I took my own children to an A&E department at the weekend precisely because I did not want to wait until later on to take them to see a GP.
"We have to recognise that society is changing and people do not always know whether the care that they need is urgent or whether it is an emergency, and making GPs available at weekends will relieve a lot of pressure in A&E departments."
Mr Burnham later wrote to Mr Hunt claiming it was "highly problematic" for Mr Hunt to suggest it is acceptable for people to "bypass GPs and go straight to A&E".
"While I sympathise with the situation in which you found yourself, and have no wish to inquire into your family circumstances, it is your statement that needs to be challenged.
"It appears to be at odds with long-standing advice to the public and, in advance of a potentially difficult winter in the NHS, could add pressure to already overstretched A&E services."
Mr Burnham went on: "Your statement in the House implies that it is acceptable for the public to use A&E on an on-demand basis or as a substitute for GP services.
"You will be aware that this is in contradiction with the official advice on NHS Choices."
If the situation is not life-threatening, the NHS advises people to call NHS 111. People with less severe injuries should visit minor injuries units and walk-in centres, the NHS says.
Mr Hunt and Mr Burnham later continued the debate on Twitter.
"If parents have an unwell child needing medical attention, A&E provides a trusted service," Mr Hunt said.
Mr Burnham responded: "If all 'unwell' people went to A&E, #NHS would collapse. Surprised you continue to contradict official advice. Irresponsible."
A spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron said that Mr Hunt had been "describing a challenge that I think many people up and down the country will recognise in terms of access to GPs."
The loophole came to light during the prosecution of a driver allegedly found to be more than twice over the limit.
On Monday, the High Court ruled police must give test results in both English and Irish for prosecutions to be valid.
The minister has since amended the law to state either language can be used.
The legal uncertainty first emerged earlier this year in the case of 29-year-old Mihai Avadenei, from Swords, County Dublin.
His defence team argued that he should have been given a written statement of the results of his alcohol breath test in both English and Irish, and because this had not happened, the test results were inadmissible as evidence.
His case was then referred to the High Court, where a judge ruled that the bilingual requirement was stipulated in legislation.
Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported that Mr Justice Seamus Noonan had said a breath alcohol test "is not a valid piece of evidence if it is in English only".
Road safety campaigners expressed concern at the ruling, and its possible impact on those injured or bereaved by drink-drivers.
Within 24 hours of the High Court ruling, Minister for Transport Paschal Donohoe amended the relevant legislation, namely the Prescribed Form and Manner of Statements Regulations 2011.
In a statement on Tuesday, Mr Donohoe said: 'The advice of the attorney general's office was sought in respect of the need for amending legislation on foot of the judgement in relation to the language of the forms produced by evidential breath testing machines in Garda [police] stations.
"In the interests of road safety, I have moved immediately to provide the new legislation deemed necessary regarding the form of the statements to be provided under section 13 of the Road Traffic Act 2010."
A spokesperson for the Department of Transport confirmed the change had taken effect immediately.
"The minister has now signed into law a replacement statutory instrument which provides that the statements may be produced in either the English or the Irish language which was always the objective of the legislation," they said.
The man who died was Barry Bell from the Belvoir area of Belfast.
The accident, which also involved a car, happened on the Crossgar Road just after 17:30 GMT on Saturday.
Police appealed for anyone who witnessed the accident to contact them.
A cordon has been set up around the area in Maidstone and up to a dozen police vehicles have been at the scene.
Kent Police said the discovery was made at Cave Hill in Tovil at about 07:15 BST and inquiries were under way. A spokesman said it was being treated as suspicious.
Officers said the man, believed to be in his 20s, was found in Crisbrook Meadow, near a mill pond.
A police spokesman said the cause of death was currently unexplained and was being investigated.
Conservation volunteers were supposed to pick up litter in the area but were turned away.
Bryn Cornwell, chairman of the Valley Conservation Society, said police had told the group the area was being treated as a crime scene.
Kent Police has appealed to anyone who saw anything between Saturday and Sunday to contact them.
The vessel had been tied up at the quayside in Portaferry, County Down, for more than a year.
Strangford Lough is an important marine environment with international protection.
The Exploris Aquarium at Portaferry and a marine laboratory attached to Queen's University nearby have both closed their sea intake as a precaution.
Exploris has put an emergency plan in place following the diesel spill.
The authorities are on site and are discussing plans for refloating and removing the boat.
The Northern Ireland Environment Agency said a Water Quality Inspector has been at the scene since Friday morning.
It said: "Wind and tidal action will aid evaporation and dispersion. The situation will be kept under review to determine if any remedial measures are necessary or practicable given the strong currents in the vicinity of Cook Street.
"The NIEA Water Management Unit and DAERA Marine and Fisheries Division are working closely with Ards and North Down Borough Council and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency in response to the sinking of this vessel.
"Ards and North Down Borough Council have called in specialist consultants in oil clean-up to manage the response to the incident."
It is understood the diesel spill could have a negative effect on any birds swimming on the water, and also mean any lobsters left in pots on the area by fishermen are now inedible.
A council spokesperson said: "As a precaution Exploris has implemented contingency plans to protect the marine life in the centre and will continue to monitor the situation in liaison with the other agencies involved."
Although the diesel spill will clear up relatively quickly, the salvage operation to move the Regina Caelis could take months.
It is understood specialist equipment that is capable of bearing the weight of the boat, which is more than 200 tonnes, will need to be brought in.
Jane Beedle, Candice Brown and Andrew Smyth are the only contestants left from the 12 who started this series.
They will face three rounds on Wednesday night's show before one is crowned the winner.
The episode is the last to be seen on the BBC after it lost the rights to the show to Channel 4.
The final show will see them create a signature challenge involving meringues and take part in a technical challenge set by Mary Berry asking them to make a British classic with just one instruction.
They will then have to produce a showstopper said to be the most complex ever set in Bake Off history, with the most bakes ever requested for a challenge.
The result will then be revealed in front of the trio's family, friends and their former Bake Off colleagues.
This year's competition has seen the baking enthusiasts compete against each other in rounds that took in patisserie, desserts and pastry. There were also two new rounds for 2016 - Tudor and botanical.
Garden designer Jane, 61, was the first to be named star baker in this, the seventh series of the amateur baking contest.
She is known for her traditional - but often intricate - bakes, including a marzipan cake decorated with swans for Tudor week.
Youngest finalist Andrew, 25, uses the skills from his career as an aerospace engineer to help him, with his products including a tower of pies that fitted together and turned like cogs.
PE teacher Candice, 31, has drawn on her family history with some of her bakes, including a memorable gingerbread replica of the pub she lived in as a child.
She has been star baker three times, while Andrew has been awarded the honour twice.
If this year's winner follows the path of previous champions, they have television shows and cookery books to look forward to in their future careers.
Paul Hollywood is following the show when it moves to Channel 4, while fellow judge Berry and hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins have announced they are leaving.
Berry told Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 that she will work with Giedroyc and Perkins again - joking that a future project could involve gardening.
She said: "We have made no decisions whatsoever, we haven't actually all three got together, but we will do something because we're good pals, and who knows what it would be?
"Well, it may not be baking, you never know, it could be gardening. I'm a very keen gardener you know."
She said her decision to stay with the BBC had been made "straight away" when she learned the corporation had lost Bake Off.
Berry said: "It was a gut feeling and I made it straight away for myself, having discussed it with my family and others. I'm very happy I've stayed with the BBC."
She added: "I'm sure the programme will go on to be a little bit different, but it will still be wonderful."
Programme makers Love Productions are yet to reveal who else will front the show alongside Hollywood.
The Great British Bake Off started on BBC Two in 2010 before switching to BBC One in 2014.
Last year's final, won by Nadiya Hussain, was the UK's most watched television programme of 2015.
The Great British Bake Off final is on BBC One at 20:00 BST.

The anti-EU Europe of Nations and Freedom bloc includes Italy's Northern League and the Freedom Party of Dutch politician Geert Wilders.
The grouping also has the support of UK MEP Janice Atkinson, expelled from UKIP in March over an expenses scandal.
Forming the group will give the MEPs more influence in the parliament.
It will also mean that the new bloc's members have access to millions of euros in extra funding as well as more staff and speaking time.
To be valid, a group needs 25 MEPs from at least seven different nationalities.
Mr Wilders, whose anti-Islam rhetoric has seen him face legal action, said that the formation was a "historic moment".
"Today it's the beginning of our liberation, our D-Day," he told reporters, adding that the new bloc would be the voice of the new "European resistance", defending their countries' sovereignty. The anti-Islam leader said the bloc would fight mass immigration as well as "Islamisation".
Eurosceptic and far-right parties made gains in last year's European Parliament elections, in what France's PM Manuel Valls called a "political earthquake".
Until now the far-right National Front (FN) has struggled to find members from enough countries to form a group.
But it secured support from MEPs in Italy's Northern League, Austria's Freedom Party, Vlaams Belang from Belgium and the Polish Congress of the New Right.
The new group represented "a political force that will go far beyond our previous situation," Ms Le Pen told reporters in Brussels on Tuesday.
She said it would be "strong, determined, coherent and ambitious".
The group could qualify for around €17.5m (£12.6m) of EU money over the next four years, according to calculations by the think tank Open Europe.
The FN leader was praised by Ms Atkinson, who said Ms Le Pen was "leading the offence" against what was happening in the European Union.
Ms Atkinson was expelled by UKIP for "bringing the party into disrepute" amid newspaper allegations that a member of her staff tried to arrange a false receipt for a meal.
UKIP has previously said it was "not interested in any deal" with Ms Le Pen or her party because of "prejudice and anti-Semitism in particular" in the FN.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage already heads another anti-immigration alliance in the European Parliament called the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy Group (EFDD).
The party responded to Ms Atkinson's move to join the rival group on Tuesday by saying: "Whatever she does is beyond our control."
FN founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, who was suspended from the party last month over his comments that the Holocaust was "a detail of history", is not part of the new Europe of Nations and Freedom group. FN MEP Bruno Gollnisch is also not a member, according to reports.
Marine Le Pen, who succeeded her father as FN leader, has spent the past year trying to distance the party from his remarks, widely condemned as anti-Semitic.
Meanwhile the three MEPs from Greece's far-right Golden Dawn party remain unattached to a political group in the European Parliament.
Correction 19 June 2015: This story has been amended to delete mention of Hungary's Jobbik party, which is not in the new group.
Unison's Christina McAnea said imposing the contract "sends a very worrying message to other members of staff".
"Everybody else is really worried that if they can do this to doctors, what does that mean for us?" said Ms McAnea.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said the contract will improve patient care.
He has criticised the British Medical Association (BMA), which represents doctors, for failing to reach a deal over the past three years and said the contract is an "important step" in improving care at weekends.
Ms McAnea told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Our feeling is the government wants to extend seven-day services but they don't want to fund it.
"They want staff to fund it through accepting cuts to pay and conditions."
Asked if she thought more strikes were likely from other categories of NHS staff if contracts were imposed on them, she said: "Yes, if there is a cut to unsocial hours payments or an imposition [of a new contract] then I think they would look to take some kind of action."
The junior doctors row explained
Reaction to the junior doctors' dispute
What exactly do junior doctors do?
How does your job compare?
A petition on a government website calling for a vote of no confidence in Mr Hunt has gained more than 180,000 signatures - above the 100,000 threshold for a Commons debate to be considered.
The office of the Conservatives in Fareham said it had cancelled a public event with the health secretary on Friday evening "on security grounds" after critics of the government's reforms began circulating details of the reception online.
A smaller private event went ahead at a different venue.
Paul Brooks, who runs an agency placing doctors in jobs abroad, told the BBC he had seen only "a few" more enquiries from junior doctors.
"Most, though, do not seem to be wanting to go overseas yet, as juniors. It's the doctors who have got their specialisation who are looking to move overseas - GPs or A&E doctors," said Mr Brooks.
"In the traditional places like Australia and New Zealand, there are many fewer jobs now than there were. They've trained quite a lot of their own doctors - there are already more doctors in Australia per head of population than we have here by quite a significant number.
"And I just don't think the opportunities are there for doctors without a specialisation."
However, he said the opportunities for GPs in Australia were "definitely better".
"It's fairly clear cut that they're getting a better quality of life," he said.
The Northern Irish player, who has slipped to 78th in the world rankings, carded four birdies in his two-under round at a windswept Castle Stuart.
"I'm really happy with that round - it was a battle out there at times," said the 2010 US Open winner.
"It would be great for my confidence to play well here."
McDowell, who won the event in 2008 at Loch Lomond, has struggled this season and missed the cut at the recent French Open.
He spent last weekend playing two practice rounds at Royal Troon, where he will compete next week at the Open.
"Those two days at Troon have been a big help and prepared me well for the wind," added McDowell.
"It it continues to blow it's going to be a real grind so I need to hang in there.
"It's been a funny year for me. It has looked volatile from a results point of view but I've felt I've played better than that.
"I'm just trying to stay relaxed and to enjoy it."
Meanwhile, Belfast man Michael Hoey started his challenge with a 74.
Jon and Jennifer Sharpe, of Featherstone, West Yorkshire, have raised about £20,000 for a nearby hospice in the past five years.
They decided to pull the plug on future events when Mr Sharpe had cancer tests.
Mr Sharpe said the 2014 lights were turned off on New Year's Eve as a final £130 was donated during the day.
"That's it, the last time, and I'm quite upset," he said.
Mr Sharpe, 74, said he could no longer physically cope with all the large Christmas decorations.
"My grandson won't understand why we haven't got lights all over the garden," he added.
He would be "keeping a few lights on the house" next Christmas but the large display items are to be used by a nearby farm shop to continue to raise charity funds.
The couple had been decorating their house in Featherstone Lane for about 20 years with recent fundraising benefiting the Prince of Wales Hospice in Pontefract.
St Mary's Church, one of the largest buildings in Melton Mowbray, will hold its services in various locations around the town including town council's Riverside offices.
Reverend Kevin Ashby said renovations at major churches usually take place "every few hundred years".
The church will reopen in November for the annual remembrance service.
"Every few hundred years major churches like ours need a major refurbishment and this one includes adding under-floor heating, making the church more accessible for disabled and elderly and adding new toilets and new lighting and audio-visual and sound equipment.
"We hope to reopen in November .... but it all depends on what they find under the church floor when they take up the slabs and the stones ... I don't think there will be very many people buried under there as most people were buried out in the church yard years ago - but you just never know."
The renovation will cost an estimated £2m.
The final service before the work started was held on New Year's Day.
Judge James Prowse lifted reporting restrictions on last month's assault on Moshe Fuerst in Manchester.
Mr Prowse said the attack on the Jewish teenager was not a hate crime although objectionable things were said.
He sentenced Joseph Kelly, 17, to 18 months of youth training detention for the attack and Zach Birch to 12 months for assaulting Moshe's friends.
Kelly admitted causing grievous bodily harm and actual bodily harm and assault by beating while Birch admitted causing actual bodily harm and assault by beating.
Mr Prowse said he lifted reporting restrictions at the youth court because of widespread media reporting that had put the hate crime claims in the public domain.
"The Crown has not offered any evidence that this was a hate crime... he was in the wrong place at the wrong time It was an alcohol-fuelled vicious attack," he said.
Holly Holden, prosecuting, said Moshe was with three friends at Bowker Vale tram stop in north Manchester on 5 September when they were attacked by Kelly and Birch who had been drinking after a day at Haydock Races.
One of the boy's friends was asked "Are you off to make some money?", which Ms Holden said he took to be an anti-Semitic remark that stereotyped Jewish people.
Kelly punched Moshe and kicked him after he fled to a nearby road.
The youngster came round, vomited and was admitted to hospital but later discharged, the court heard.
The next day he needed emergency surgery after collapsing at the cinema with his friends and was in a coma for four days.
The boy suffered a fractured skull, a bleeding brain and has yet to be given a long-term prognosis from his doctors.
Sasha Waxman, representing Kelly, said her client could not explain what happened and was apologetic and remorseful.
Zaid Khalif J Sultan, 46, of Calvert Road, Sheffield, used a Bluetooth device in a mobile phone to obtain the answers via an outside source.
Sultan was convicted of fraud at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday.
He was also given a 16-week custodial sentence to be served consecutively for breach of a previous suspended sentence.
Andy Rice, of the The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), said: "These people who cheat are putting the general public at risk."
Live updates on this and other stories in Yorkshire
The theory test was carried out in Nottingham in February 2016. The agency had been tipped off Sultan would cheat and he was arrested after the test. He pleaded guilty to the offence in December.
"DVSA takes very seriously the fraudulent use of communication devices during the test process and works closely with the police to bring offenders to justice," Mr Rice added.
The theory test was introduced in 1996, replacing questions about the Highway Code during the practical test.
The Dowler family was told shortly before the trial of her killer earlier this year that journalists had hacked into her phone and deleted messages.
Chief Constable Mark Rowley said he could not comment while the Met Police phone-hacking investigation continues.
He said he did not want to undermine the investigation.
On Wednesday, Milly's parents Bob and Sally, along with her sister Gemma, met Prime Minister David Cameron in Downing Street over the phone hacking claims.
They have also had meetings with Labour leader Ed Miliband and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
Speaking to BBC Surrey, Mr Rowley said: "I am not going to get into detail of who knew what, when.
"I am immensely frustrated about my inability to put all the facts out there.
"But I'm sure you'll understand I'm going to be very determined not to undermine the Metropolitan Police investigation."
Levi Bellfield was given a whole life tariff last month for murdering 13-year-old Milly, who was abducted from Walton-on-Thames in 2002.
Following the trial at the Old Bailey, Mr Rowley criticised the way the Dowlers were cross-examined.
He said he was "shocked" by their treatment and called for changes.
He was the first person to walk all the Munros, mountains of more than 3,000ft (914.4m), in a single trip.
Dr Brown's 112-day journey in 1974 involved 289 peaks and 1,639 miles, which he covered by walking, cycling and travelling on two ferries.
The 82-year-old, of Burntisland, Fife, will receive the award next month.
It will be presented during the Fort William Mountain Festival.
Mile Pescod, one of the festival's organisers, said: "Hamish embodies the passion and the excitement that exploring the wild Scottish landscape entails, and the great desire to share this sense of adventurous wonder with others.
"Not only has Hamish explored Scotland and many other mountain areas right across the globe but he has helped countless others do the same and find the same sense of satisfaction.
"Hamish is a true exponent of mountain culture."
The cross-party Public Accounts Committee criticises "delusions" in government over the budget situation.
Head teachers said the Department for Education had "buried its head in the sand" over the extent of financial problems.
The Department for Education says funding is at record levels.
But the report from the Public Accounts Committee says "funding per pupil is reducing in real terms" and will mean schools cutting spending by £3bn by 2019-20.
The highly critical report says the Department for Education must not be "deaf to the experiences of head teachers" who have been complaining of cuts to staff and services.
"Grand plans drawn up in Whitehall are dangerous if they are implemented without regard to real-world consequences, and we will expect to see measures to address our concerns as a matter of urgency," says Meg Hillier, who chairs the committee.
The report warns of a "collective delusion" that spending cuts could be achieved through efficiency savings - and raises concerns that the Department for Education does not seem to have a plan to monitor the impact.
Such financial pressures are "likely to increase teachers' workload, with implications for recruitment and retention, and put at risk the quality of education", says the report.
The MPs say that the Department for Education has failed to recognise the cost pressures on schools.
"Pupils' futures are at risk if the Department for Education fails to act on the warnings in our report," said Ms Hillier.
"Government must take all necessary steps to ensure it can intervene quickly if action taken by schools to meet efficiency targets risks damaging standards."
School leaders have been protesting against funding cuts - with head teachers from 3,000 schools across England sending a joint letter last week calling for a re-think on budget plans.
A consultation on funding changes ended last week - and the Department for Education has not set out a timetable for when it will respond.
But the ASCL head teachers' union said the Department for Education "does not seem to understand the pressures that schools are already under".
"The fact is that reduced budgets mean fewer staff and this in turn means larger class sizes, reduced GCSE options, and cutbacks in support services and enrichment activities," said the ASCL's leader, Malcolm Trobe.
Jo Yurky from a parents' campaign group, Fair Funding for All Schools, said it was "wishful thinking from our ministers to suggest that you can force schools to find £3bn cuts without harming our children's education. The government's position has now become untenable".
Kevin Courtney, leader of the National Union of Teachers, described the report as "another nail in the coffin of the government's school funding policy".
Labour's shadow education spokeswoman Angela Rayner accused ministers of not "having a clue what is going on in our schools".
"The government's handling of the schools budget is nothing short of a scandal."
The Liberal Democrats' education spokesman, John Pugh, said: "Tory ministers must be the only people left who haven't spotted the crisis in schools funding - or worse, they're choosing to ignore it."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "We have protected the core schools budget in real terms since 2010, with school funding at its highest level on record at more than £40bn in 2016-17 - and that is set to rise, as pupil numbers rise over the next two years, to £42bn by 2019-20.
"We recognise that schools are facing cost pressures, and we will continue to provide support to help them use their funding in the most cost-effective ways, so that every pound of the investment we make in education has the greatest impact."
The two-vehicle accident happened close the entrance to Brucklay Castle, near Maud.
The road has been closed in both directions.

Thomas Valliday is unlawfully at large from Maghaberry prison.
The 27-year-old escaped while at the Ulster hospital in Dundonald.
Police have issued a warning to the public not to approach Valliday as he is considered dangerous.
Valliday was told in March 2010 that he would serve at least 17 years of a life sentence for the murder of west Belfast man Frank 'Bap' McGreevy.
He attacked the 51-year-old former IRA prisoner in his flat in Ross Street in Belfast in March 2008.
Valliday, also from west Belfast, was high on a cocktail of drink and drugs when he battered Mr McGreevy with a variety of weapons, including a pick-axe handle.
Mr McGreevy died three days later.
Police are urging anyone who may see Valliday to call them.
The Londonderry man beat Jamie Lewis 3-1 in his first round match on Thursday.
Gurney, 29, defeated Anderson 10-4 the last time the players met at last month's Players Championship Finals.
Brendan Dolan from Belcoo, ranked 18 in the world, will face Australian Kyle Anderson in the first round on Friday.
Gurney hit five 180s in an impressive triumph over Lewis on the opening day of the tournament.
The world number 36 won three straight legs in a dominant first set, before Lewis took the second 3-1.
Gurney edged the third 3-2 before taking the fourth 3-1 to finish the job.
"I played well in the first set but then I went off my game a little bit," said Gurney, who reached his first-ever televised PDC major semi-final in the Players Championship at Minehead last month.
"I could've easily lost that game and been out so I was pleased to get over the line.
"If I play like I can in the next game then I'm confident it will be good enough to go further."
Gurney will meet Anderson in the second round on Boxing Day.

It is the final phase of a campaign - codenamed Operation Wrath of Euphrates - that was launched in November, shortly after Iraqi forces moved to recapture the city of Mosul.
The initial goal of this campaign was to isolate the so-called Islamic State's de-facto capital and thereafter recapture it
But as the SDF's fighters advanced, they faced considerable resistance from IS militants.
When they tried to capture the Tabqa Dam with the help of US special forces earlier this year, IS opened several turbines to raise the water level of the River Euphrates.
If the dam had been breached before the SDF seized control in May, there could have been flooding on a massive scale across Raqqa province and as far away as Deir al-Zour.
The SDF attacked Raqqa from the north, west and east on Monday after a series of heavy air strikes conducted by the US-led coalition against IS.
The south of the city is meanwhile sealed off by the Euphrates, which can only be crossed by boat because the bridges over it were knocked out in pre-emptive strikes.
It is expected that the battle for Raqqa will be very fierce.
The coalition recently estimated that that there are 3,000 to 4,000 IS fighters holed up inside, including foreign fighters and various senior figures.
It is unclear how many civilians are trapped in the city, but the International Rescue Committee put the figure at 200,000 and warned that they were at risk of being killed by IS if they attempted to flee or used as human shields if they remained.
Similar to previous battles, IS will probably resort to using suicide bombers ("istishhadiyun") and suicide fighters ("inghimasiyun").
While the former normally operate alone and detonate car bombs, the latter operate in groups and fight first enemy forces with weapons and grenades before detonating suicide vests in order to inflict the highest amount of damage.
It is also expected that IS militants will make extensive use of weaponised drones, as they have done in the battle for Mosul.
IS operates swarms of up to five off-the-shelf quadcopters armed with hand grenades or artillery shells, which are dropped onto targets.
Drone attacks have caused military and civilian casualties. IS has claimed that in one week they killed or wounded 39 soldiers.
The objective of the anti-IS coalition is the elimination of IS fighters.
US Defence Secretary James Mattis stated very clearly in late May that the US had switched from attrition to "annihilation tactics" against IS in Iraq and Syria, so that "foreign fighters do not survive the fight to return home to North Africa, to Europe, to America, to Asia, to Africa".
It is, however, expected that civilians will also be at high risk.
Mr Mattis recognized this, but added that despite US forces doing everything "humanly possible" to prevent civilian casualties, they were "a fact of life in this sort of situation".
The wider Raqqa campaign has already led to massive civilian casualties and displacement over the past six months.
The fall of Raqqa will be a major victory for the anti-IS coalition and especially the SDF, which has spearheaded the campaign to capture the city.
Beyond being the de-facto capital of the "caliphate" proclaimed by IS in 2014, Raqqa has also served as an operation base to plan attacks in the West.
The Belgian jihadist Oussama Ahmad Atar is believed to have trained and directed the militants behind the deadly attacks on Paris and Brussels in November 2015 and March 2016 from there.
Mohammed Emwazi, the infamous British militant who became known as "Jihadi John" after beheading IS hostages in a series of videos, was also operating from Raqqa and was killed in an air strike on the city in November 2015.
Raqqa's liberation by the SDF will be a cause for concern in Turkey, however, because it will reinforce the possibility of the Kurds establishing a semi-autonomous region across parts of northern Syria and along the Turkish border.
Turkey's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has warned that it "will immediately give the necessary response if we come across a situation in Raqqa or any other point in the region that threatens our security".
Ankara considers the Kurdish militia that dominates the SDF, the Popular Protection Units (YPG), to be part of its arch-enemy, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Thus it is opposed to any actions that strengthen the YPG's position in Syria.
The fall of Raqqa will bring an end to the physical IS caliphate.
However, one has to keep in mind that fighting the group's ideology will be a longer-term battle requiring more than solely military victories.

She will also be remembered for representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest with I Belong, coming second to Luxembourg.
During her career, Kirby had two top 10 hits and three other singles in the top 40.
In a statement, her family said the star passed away on Thursday night after suffering from a short illness.
"She will be greatly missed by her family and her many friends who have stood loyal over the years," the statement said.
Born in Essex, the star began her career working with bandleader Bert Ambrose who took her on the club circuit.
The blonde pin-up was often compared to Marilyn Monroe and, after securing her first record deal, went on to appear on several US TV programmes, such as The Ed Sullivan Show.
Kirby - whose niece Sarah is married to Sir Mark Thatcher - was one of the biggest stars of the early 1960s.
The singer, who lived in west London, made her last screen appearance in the early 80s, having largely withdrawn from the public eye.

The record for the loudest shout, rather than cry, was set by Annalisa Wray in 1994 when she achieved a shout of 121.7db.
Norway's decision to pull out of the bidding to host the 2022 Winter Olympics in Oslo leaves the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with only Almaty in Kazakhstan and Beijing in China to choose from when it meets next year.
Many will see that as not much of a choice at all.
According to campaign group Human Rights Watch, Kazakhstan's record on human rights is "poor" and that "torture remains common in places of detention".
China, meanwhile, remains an "authoritarian, one-party state" which "justifies human rights abuses as necessary to preserve 'social stability'".
This is not what the IOC needed after so much controversy surrounding the selection of Beijing for the 2008 summer Games and Sochi for the 2014 winter version.
Add two World Cups in Russia and Qatar, and a certain theme seems to be developing when it comes to the world's biggest sporting events.
So why did Norway say 'no thanks'?
It says a lot when Norway decides against hosting such an event.
The country has more winter medals than any other nation. Oslo, the capital, hosted the 1952 Winter Games and Lillehammer staged them in 1994.
But after Sochi's mind-boggling $51bn (£31bn) price tag, Norwegian public opinion was divided.
Norway's parliament reflected this on Wednesday, refusing to grant the required government financial guarantees, despite the IOC providing $880m (£544m) to help stage the Games.
Maybe this was no surprise.
The IOC's astonishing 7,000 pages of demands - including meetings with the king, VIP cocktail parties and dedicated traffic lanes, as revealed by newspaper VG - did not go down at all well in Norway.
There were originally six cities interested in staging the 2022 games but Lviv in Ukraine, Krakow in Poland and Stockholm in Sweden all pulled out.
Potential bids from Germany and Switzerland failed to materialise amid a lack of popular support.
And now this.
Oslo was the IOC's preferred candidate. It had scored highest on technical assessments. It would have won.
The IOC's uncharacteristically aggressive response to this snub is revealing, calling it a missed opportunity for Norwegians and claiming the country failed to send senior officials to important meetings.
Politicians made a decision based on "half-truths and factual inaccuracies", according to a furious Christophe Dubi, Olympic Games executive director for the IOC.
After heading to Pyeongchang in South Korea in 2018 and Japan's capital Tokyo in 2020, the IOC will now be forced to turn to Asia for a third time in a row and allow Beijing to become the first city to host both summer and winter Games.
What is clear is that western countries are increasingly concerned about the cost of staging such events.
Sochi has simply scared many off.
Reducing the cost of bids was already a priority for IOC president Thomas Bach, and now we can see why.
The Sunday Mail and Daily Record said locations in Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Highlands are to be used in filming due to start next month.
Infinity War is part of the Marvel "universe" of superhero stories.
Scenes for Marvel's 2011 movie, Captain America: The First Avenger, were shot in Culross in Fife.
Rival comic publisher and film-maker, DC Comics, has also used Scotland for one of its superhero movies.
Scenes for 2012's Batman film The Dark Knight Rises were shot over the Cairngorms.
The action involved a C130 transport plane that was based at Inverness Airport for several weeks.
Stuntmen and a film crew also made parachute jumps over Cairngorm Gliding Club's airstrip at Feshie Bridge for the scenes.
The fuselage of a Jetstream aircraft that had belonged to Inverness-based airline Highland Airways plane was used to portray the interior of the CIA aircraft in the movie.
Infinity War is expected to bring together a huge cast of Marvel heroes and villains, and the actors who play them.
Reportedly they include Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Chris Evans' Captain America, Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange and Inverness-born Karen Gillan's Nebula, a character from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy comics and movies.

The Chilean, 28, is contracted to the Gunners until the summer of 2018, with some newspapers claiming he would like to join Chelsea.
"I believe that he wants to stay at the club and it is about doing a deal with his agent," said Wenger.
"The players have to see if they're happy and find an agreement. Finances are also involved in that."
Sanchez, who joined Arsenal from Barcelona for about £35m in the summer of 2014, has scored 22 goals for the Gunners this season.
However, with Arsenal again failing to push for the Premier League title and going out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage, some reports have suggested that Sanchez could be looking to leave Emirates Stadium.
In March, Wenger denied that a training ground row was behind his decision to leave Sanchez on the bench for the defeat at Liverpool.
And, later that month, Sanchez made comments while on international duty that some interpreted as a desire to move to Chelsea.
Wenger was speaking at a news conference in the build-up to Monday's Premier League game at Crystal Palace, with the Frenchman once again refusing to elaborate on his future at the club.
The two collided after Perez squeezed Frenchman Ocon towards a wall at more than 180mph.
Ocon later said on social media: "We were having a good race until Perez tried to kill me two times."
On Monday, Ocon tweeted: "I was upset. We want to work better together."
The incident on lap 29 was the second time the team-mates had collided at Spa, and was the latest in a series of incidents between the two this year following Ocon's arrival.
Perez, who failed to finish the race, apologised for the first collision but added: "The second one I think Esteban was too optimistic. There was no need to touch there."
Ocon, who finished the race ninth, said: "I'm committed to the success of Force India, and I'm confident that as a team we will put this behind us to reach even greater levels of success together.
"We have a big challenge ahead with keeping fourth place [in the constructors' table], and nothing will distract us from that goal.
"In the heat of the moment and given the dangerous situation, I was very much upset.
"But we will be moving forward, we are a team, and I appreciate my team-mate apologising."
Perez is seventh in the drivers' standings - nine points and one place above Ocon.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson
Esteban Ocon's statement on Monday morning will be interpreted as an attempt to extend an olive branch to resolve a difficult situation.
The Frenchman refers to an apology from Perez - but both immediately after the race and in a later video message on Twitter the Mexican has apologised only for the first of the two incidents between the drivers.
In this, Perez says in a series of circumstances in the chaos of the first lap, exacerbated by being in the wrong engine mode, he did not see or expect Ocon to be on his inside on the run down the hill to Eau Rouge, where the two touched and Ocon hit the wall, without incurring damage.
Perez has not apologised for the second incident later in the race - similar other than that they were alone - which damaged Ocon's front wing and gave Perez a puncture.
The team were furious because this was only the latest in a series of incidents between the two and they are worried the line-up is becoming untenable.
Force India have said they will impose team orders to ensure it does not happen again. Perez has said he believes the drivers can sort it out between themselves and Ocon's message is clearly an attempt to show he can be relied upon to play ball.
As such, it will calm everything down ahead of this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, but the attempt at harmony will be properly tested only when they are next on track alongside each other.
Tanaka netted three goals over the weekend as Stars went from ninth to seventh.
"Cale's a guy that's played in two consecutive play-off finals with Coventry in the last two years, said LeFebvre, who signed Tanaka last summer.
"I knew what I had when I signed him for them originally."
He added: "Sunday's win was a huge character win after going down 2-0 and managing to find a way to get the points from the game.
"It's massive to get ourselves into the position we're now in, but there's still lots of hockey to play and we're still in a dogfight, which won't end until the regular season finishes in a couple of weeks."
With four games left, Dundee are in a good position to take one of the last play-off spots and could boost their credentials further when they go to Manchester on Saturday.
Their weekend was mixed in terms of results, but there was no disgrace in losing 4-1 to champions elect Cardiff Devils in South Wales on Saturday.
Tanaka cancelled out Mark Richardson's early goal, but Devils kicked on with two from Joey Haddad and one from Josh Batch to flesh out the win.
There was arguably more importance in Sunday's home game as play-off rivals Manchester Storm came looking to follow on from Saturday's win over Edinburgh Capitals.
But after two goals from Paul Phillips and Mark Heatley, Stars soon got into gear as two from Tanaka drew them level.
Kevin Bruijsten gave them the go-ahead goal before Justin Faryna clinched the points that put them above Storm in the table ahead of an even bigger game on Saturday.
As for Storm, they would have been buoyed by the 4-0 victory they inflicted on the Caps on Saturday that helped to stop a seven-game losing run.
For Edinburgh, it was one to forget as Darian Dzuirzynski's hat-trick along with a strike from Mark Heatley saw them shut out in Manchester.
But the Capitals made Fife Flyers work for it when they returned to Murrayfield on Sunday, even though they were edged 5-4 in a thriller.
Sebastian Thinel's opener was cancelled out by Yevgeni Fyodorov, before Fife went 4-1 ahead following goals from Chase Schaber, James Isaacs and Ryan Dingle.
Caps got to within one in the third period as Ian Schultz and Mason Wilgosh struck, but Kyle Haines added Fife's fifth which seemed like enough.
However, Michal Dobron's late finish for the home side set up a nervy finale, but the Flyers were able to hang on and confirm their place in the play-offs in the process.
That result completed a four-point weekend for Todd Dutiaume's side, who got underway with a 4-3 overtime win at Coventry Blaze on Saturday.
Ross Venus' opener was cancelled out by Dingle, who then added his second early in the third period, followed by Carlo Finucci, who made it 3-1.
Blaze hit back through Brett Robinson and Shawn Boutin, taking the game to overtime where Finucci's second clinched victory for the Flyers.
Braehead Clan had only the one game as they hosted Sheffield Steelers on Saturday night, but were edged 3-2 in a tight affair.
Matt Keith opened the scoring, but Steelers turned the game around as John Armstrong and two from Robert Dowd put them in front.
Another from Keith in the third period made life difficult for the visitors, but Sheffield left Glasgow with two points by the end.

Sigmar Gabriel said the EU would go "down the drain" if other states followed Britain's lead and that the UK could not keep the "nice things" about Europe while taking no responsibility.
It comes as Theresa May summoned ministers for a meeting on Wednesday to discuss ideas for the UK's withdrawal.
Downing Street said Brexit was "top" of the prime minister's agenda.
But a report in The Sunday Times suggested her cabinet was split over leaving the single market.
The UK voted to leave the European Union in a referendum vote on 23 June.
Mr Gabriel, who is also economy minister in Germany's governing coalition and Chancellor Angela Merkel's deputy, told a news conference that as a result, the world now regarded Europe as an unstable continent.
"Brexit is bad but it won't hurt us as much economically as some fear - it's more of a psychological problem and it's a huge problem politically," he said.
"If we organise Brexit in the wrong way, then we'll be in deep trouble, so now we need to make sure that we don't allow Britain to keep the nice things, so to speak, related to Europe while taking no responsibility."
Mrs Merkel has met a number of European leaders during the past week to prepare the ground for a September summit focused on the EU's future post-Brexit.
She has said remaining member states must listen to each other carefully and avoid rushing into policy decisions.
Meanwhile, Mrs May is due to begin drawing up blueprints for Brexit on Wednesday, when she hosts cabinet ministers at Chequers, the prime minister's country retreat in Buckinghamshire.
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said Mrs May would hear different answers to the question "what does Brexit actually mean?" from around the cabinet table and in Parliament.
It comes as a new cross-party group called Open Britain was launched.
In a joint article for the group in the Sunday Times, three former ministers from the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats accept that the free movement of people cannot continue, but they warn against "pulling up the drawbridge."
Mr Gabriel also said on Sunday that trade talks between the EU and the US had "de facto failed".
The plan - known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership or TTIP - aimed to remove or reduce a wide range of barriers to EU-US trade and investment.
However, the move has been controversial in many of countries involved, including Germany and the UK. Critics say TTIP is driven by big business and would be bad for jobs, consumers and the environment.
In 14 rounds of talks, the two sides had not agreed on a single common chapter out of 27 being discussed, Mr Gabriel said.
"In my opinion the negotiations with the United States have de facto failed, even though nobody is really admitting it," said Mr Gabriel.
He suggested Washington was angry about a deal the EU struck with Canada, because it contained elements the US does not want to see in the TTIP.
"We mustn't submit to the American proposals," said Mr Gabriel, who is head of Germany's centre-left Social Democratic Party, which is in coalition with Mrs Merkel's centre-right Christian Democratic Union.
The BBC's Andrew Walker said ending the negotiations would not be a decision for Mr Gabriel, as he is the leader of centre-left Social Democratic Party, which is in coalition with Mrs Merkel's centre-right Christian Democratic Union.
Nonetheless, Mr Gabriel is an important voice and his view that TTIP has in effect failed is a sign of just how much political difficulty it faces, our correspondent added.
He has also been forced to defend his actions after he flicked the middle finger to a group of right-wing protesters earlier this month.
Sigmar Gabriel said his only mistake was not using both hands, and told his critics to think about what they would do if faced with 12 "young, aggressive, swearing and ready-for-violence Nazis".
Mr Gabriel had been confronted by the hecklers in northern Germany.
University of Warwick scientists said the womb lining in recurrent miscarriage patients they studied was "already defective" before pregnancy.
The team studied tissue samples donated by 183 patients at the Implantation Research Clinic in Coventry.
Researchers believe the "major breakthrough" could help many women.
Updates on this story, plus more from Warwickshire
Scientists say one in 100 women trying to conceive suffered recurrent miscarriages, defined as the loss of three or more consecutive pregnancies.
Prof Jan Brosens said: "I can envisage that we will be able to correct these defects before the patient tries to achieve another pregnancy.
"In fact, this may be the only way to really prevent miscarriages in these cases."
The team found a shortfall of stem cells was the likely cause of accelerated ageing of the womb lining which resulted in the failure of some pregnancies.
The lining has to renew itself each cycle and this renewal capacity is dependent on the resident stem cell population.
Prof Brosens said: "Cultured cells from women who had had three or more consecutive miscarriages showed that ageing cells in the lining of the womb don't have the ability to prepare adequately for pregnancy."
Prof Siobhan Quenby, the study's co-author, has researched miscarriage for 20 years and believes the work is a "major breakthrough" which offers hope to patients.
"The real challenge now is to develop strategies to increase the function of stem cells in the womb lining," she said.
The team will soon start piloting new interventions to improve the womb lining, she said.
Their "two-fold" focus aimed to improve the screening of women at risk of repeat miscarriage, while a number of drugs and other interventions, such as the endometrial "scratch" procedure to help embryos implant, could potentially increase stem cell populations.
University of Warwick researchers will join a large miscarriage research centre, which will be funded by the charity Tommy's from April.
Mr Corbyn had imposed a three-line whip on his MPs to vote to back Brexit.
But 52 Labour MPs rebelled in Wednesday's vote, including 11 junior shadow ministers, and three whips whose job it is to impose party discipline.
Convention dictates that members of the leader's shadow team should resign or be sacked if they defy such an order.
Some did resign, including shadow business secretary Clive Lewis, who was replaced by Rebecca Long-Bailey.
But, after a meeting between Mr Corbyn and his chief whip Nick Brown, the remaining rebels will receive only a letter insisting that they must "comply with the whip" in the future.
When the government brought its Brexit Bill to the Commons, Mr Corbyn said Labour would not seek to obstruct the EU referendum result.
To ensure as many of his MPs supported him as possible, he imposed a three-line whip, the strictest instruction to vote with the party.

Shadow Cabinet re-shuffles in 18 months
32 resignations, of whom...
4 later returned to top positions
4 of those who quit, did so to vote against the Brexit Bill
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason says the formal warnings leave the prospect, unless they are moved, of three whips trying to persuade their colleagues to vote with a leader who himself rebelled against Labour more than 400 times in government - and when they themselves have also defied him.
There are still a "couple of vacancies" to be filled in Mr Corbyn's shadow team but it is not expected there will be any further announcements until next week.
It has been announced that Ian Lavery and Andrew Gwynne have been appointed joint national elections and campaign coordinators for Labour.
Jon Trickett has become shadow minister for the Cabinet Office and will remain shadow Lord President of the Council.
In Wednesday's vote, the draft legislation was approved by 494 votes to 122, and now moves to the House of Lords.
Prime Minister Theresa May wants to trigger formal Brexit talks by the end of March.
She will do this by invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty but requires Parliament's permission before doing so.
Jeff Hendrick's deflected effort gave the Republic the perfect start as they held out until half-time despite almost constant Serbian pressure.
Filip Kostic levelled on 62 minutes and Dusan Tadic scored a controversial penalty seven minutes later.
The Irish looked beaten but Murphy headed the equaliser on 81 minutes.
Murphy's goal ended his long drought for the Republic as the Newcastle striker, 33, finally broke his international duck in his 24th appearance.
The Republic failed to build on the ideal start of Hendrick's third-minute goal as his low shot deflected in off Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic. It was a first international goal for Burnley's recent record signing from Derby.
For the remainder of the contest, the Republic struggled to retain possession as Kostic and Southampton striker Tadic caused the visitors no end of problems.
Only poor Serbian finishing and a splendid save by West Ham keeper Darren Randolph from Kostic kept the Irish in front by the interval.
Serbia's deserved equaliser came on 62 minutes as Kostic slotted from close range after Tadic had outfoxed John O'Shea in the Republic penalty area.
With the home side continuing to run at the ragged Irish, they were awarded a highly-debatable penalty with Jonathan Walters' contact on a charging Kostic just inside the area looking minimal.
Tadic dispatched the penalty into the roof of the net and the Republic were fortunate not to go 3-1 in arrears three minutes later as substitute Andrija Pavlovic hammered against the crossbar after Randolph spilled a Filip Mladenovic shot.
But the Republic summoned up a response, with Walters having an effort ruled out for offside and James McClean going close before Murphy powered in a headed equaliser as he connected with a Brady corner.
Given the Republic's defensive nervousness all night, it was no surprise that they had further late scares with Seamus Coleman desperately having to clear off the line after Randolph had blocked an Ivanovic effort.
The West Ham keeper rode his luck at times but made a couple of vital saves during stages of the contest when the Serbian were threatening to over-run the visitors.
In truth, few of his outfield colleagues were particularly impressive in a display where the Republic were guilty of squandering possession and resorting to long balls on too many occasions.
After the first round of fixtures, the Republic sit behind leaders Wales and Austria, who won against Moldova and Georgia respectively.
Martin O'Neill's side return to World Cup qualifier action next month, hosting the Georgians on Thursday, 6 October before an away date in Moldova three days later.
The busy autumn qualifying schedule concludes away in Austria on 12 November with Ireland's Group D action resuming against Wales in Dublin on 24 March.

The intention is spelled out in the airport's strategic plan, which has now been published.
The loss-making Ayrshire airport was bought by the Scottish government three years ago for £1.
The airport says passenger numbers have bottomed out and that its losses are less than predicted - but admits its turnaround will be challenging.
This plan has been produced by the airport's executive team, following the appointment of Ron Smith as chief executive officer in May last year.
The plan sets out a number of key objectives, which include:
The plan also highlights some of the airport's unique selling points which it believes could help it stand out from its rivals in Scotland and northern England.
These include having Scotland's longest commercial runway and parallel taxiway, and that it is the only airport in Scotland with a railway station on the site.
Mr Smith said: "The picture for Glasgow Prestwick Airport is a positive one.
"We believe our passenger numbers have bottomed out and are on the up again, cargo income is consistent in spite of a changes in the wider market, military income is growing, property occupancy are at an all-time high and early indications for the last financial year show that our losses are less than predicted.
"The turnaround will be challenging and take time but it has started and this plan will build upon this."
Andrew Miller, the airport's chairman, welcomed the launch of this plan.
He said: "There has been a significant amount of analysis and research in establishing a sustainable business plan that has been challenged and improved throughout its development, and as a result we now have something that is realistic and realisable.
"This is a plan that the board is able to get behind and support."
And he added: "Glasgow Prestwick Airport is a vital contributor to the Ayrshire, Scottish and UK economy, it provides valuable employment and is an important national infrastructure asset.
"This plan set out how we will also make it a profitable and sustainable airport for generations to come."
In its last full financial year, Prestwick handled 624,000 passengers and processed almost 11,500 tonnes of cargo.
However, 10 years ago - when budget airline Ryanair did not operate flights from Glasgow Airport - Prestwick handled about 2.5 million passengers a year.
The prime minister also told MPs that Parliament would get a "proper opportunity" to discuss her plans before negotiations with the EU start.
She "fully" expected that these talks would begin by the end of next March.
And, in testy exchanges with Labour MP Yvette Cooper, Mrs May defended the inclusion of overseas students in net migration figures.
The prime minister has pledged to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, getting leaving talks with the EU under way, by the end of March. These can take up to two years, unless an agreement is reached to prolong the process.
Appearing before the Liaison Committee - made up of chairmen and women of Commons select committees - she said: "We will meet that timetable and don't intend to extend the Article 50 process.
"We've also said we will publish more information about our approach before Article 50 is triggered. I will be making a speech early in the new year setting out more about our approach and about the opportunity I think we have as a country to use this process to forge a truly global Britain that embraces and trades with countries across the world."
She added: "It's important that we understand the wider meaning of the referendum result and respond accordingly. It wasn't just a vote to leave the EU, but to change the way the country works and the people for whom it works forever."
Mrs May added: "I fully expect us to be able to operate on the timetable that has been set out in the treaty, obviously as we go into the negotiations that's a matter for the negotiations."
The Great Repeal Bill, which will transpose EU law into domestic law, would be in place when the UK left, she said, but she added: "When people voted they wanted us to be able to take control of our laws - when we are no longer a member of the European Union, laws will be determined here in the United Kingdom and will be subject to British courts."
The prime minister was repeatedly questioned on the future of immigration policy by Mrs Cooper, the Commons Home Affairs Committee chairwoman.
She asked whether it was "time to remove" foreign students from figures, but Mrs May responded that this was "in the international definition of migration figures".
Conservative MP Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the Liaison Committee, told Mrs May: "Most people think that students are a huge success story for this country - a great British export. Don't you think it might be a good idea to reconsider that decision?"
The PM replied: "We use the international system of definition. It's perfectly simple."
Rudy Bruynius and McKayla, from Morden in south London, had been fishing at Fistral beach in Newquay while on holiday with family on 19 August 2016.
A large wave knocked them off the rock and Mr Bruynius, 33, died that night and McKayla died four days later.
An inquest in Truro has concluded their deaths were accidental.
More on the Newquay beach deaths and other Cornwall stories
The inquest heard the family had been fishing in the same location the day before too because Mr Bruynius had been recommended the spot by a local on a previous trip to Newquay.
Mrs Brunyius said how surprised she had been by the sudden change in weather conditions.
"We were fishing off the rocks and within a short time the waves became bigger and started to splash us."
When the first big wave struck Mr Bruynius was standing with his wife Lisinda on the rocks with their two sons, aged six and 10, and McKayla whom he had just removed from her pushchair.
Mr Bruynius was knocked into the sea with McKayla in his arms. Mrs Bruynius was also swept into the sea at the south end of Fistral beach, but was rescued with minor injuries.
Their sons managed to scramble up the rocks to safety, the inquest heard.
In a statement, Mrs Bruynius told the inquest the sea had appeared to rise by about 6ft (1.83m) within five minutes.
She described how "a mass of water came over the top of Rudy, McKayla and I. It came from absolutely nowhere."
They were in the process of moving up the rocks, when a second wave hit, knocking them into the water.
She said: "I could hear Rudy screaming for help and I could hear the boys screaming for help.
"I glanced across and could no longer see McKayla in Rudy's arms. Rudy appeared to be floating in an upright position with his head back.
"I swam over to Rudy but he was unconscious."
Onlookers immediately called emergency services and within minutes, the RNLI had launched two lifeboats, and jetskis from Fistral beach and located all three.
Mr Bruynius was declared dead just before midnight and McKayla was transferred to Bristol Children's Hospital but died on 23 August.
The family said they hoped others could learn from what had happened to them and a fundraising page to support the survivors has raised nearly £50,000.
Det Con Jarrod Yewen said the sea conditions had changed without warning: "That day it had been sunny but there was a developing weather front coming in.
"I don't think anyone could have foreseen the weather conditions were going to change so quickly. The swell effectively doubled in size where they were fishing," he said.
Cornwall Coroner, Dr Emma Carlyon, concluded: "All evidence suggests this was a tragic incident as they were washed into the sea when conditions changed dramatically."
She told the hearing they were in the sea for about 15 minutes, and had died from drowning.
Mr Bruynius and McKayla died during a weekend in which a total of six people were killed in tragedies around the coast.
She told the Institute for Government she had also taken over "in a political crisis" and, at first, there had been little comment about being a woman.
But "the gender stuff grew over time, as the government I led dealt with the hard issues and got into politically choppy waters", she added.
Mrs May is the UK's second female prime minister, following Margaret Thatcher.
Ms Gillard, who, as Australia's first woman PM, was in power from 2010 to 2013, said female leaders had to labour under the stereotype that they should appear "empathetic and nurturing". If they gained high office, it appeared they "must have given up on the nurturing".
She said Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was "suffering a bit from that" in her race against Republican Donald Trump for the US presidency.
Ms Gillard, who has warned that many women in public life face "almost daily" rape threats, told the audience in London that, while she was in charge of Australia, opponents held up placards bearing the slogan "Ditch the witch".
She offered Mrs May - who took over from David Cameron in July amid the political disruption following the referendum vote for Brexit - advice based on her experience.
She said: "What I actually found was, when I came to the prime ministership in a political crisis moment, my gender wasn't the focus of the reaction.
"Rather the gender stuff grew over time, as the government I led dealt with hard issues and got into politically choppy waters.
"The harder it got, it became more likely that gendered insult would become the political weapon."
Ms Gillard, who, like Mrs May, does not have children, said a typical comment on her during her premiership would have been: "She doesn't have children, so she doesn't understand ordinary people and their lives. She was ruthless in getting to the top, so everything she does is about her political interests."
She criticised Australia's male business leaders for not doing more to speak out against sexism during her time in office.
Ms Gillard, who is a visiting professor at King's College London, said more needed to be done to ensure women could balance family life with a career without suffering a lack of promotion.
It is understood the arrest was linked to comments on a Facebook page that allegedly sought to justify the Manchester attack.
The man has been charged with the improper use of a public electronic communications network.
He is due to appear before Belfast Magistrates' Court on Monday 19 June.
The payments company is selecting 50 small companies in the US to receive $10,000 if they only use cards.
The companies have to bid for the money by explaining how going cashless would affect them, their staff and customers.
However, the idea has been criticised by consumer groups, who say cash is still vital for many people.
"It is easy to categorise it as a bribe, but ultimately they are incentivising companies to do away with cash, and that's not the job of people like Visa," said James Daley of consumer group Fairer Finance.
In any case, the offer could be of limited appeal to many retailers, who have to pay fees every time a customer uses a debit or credit card.
Even though interchange fees, as they are called, have been capped by the EU, retailers still pay an average of 16p on each credit card transaction, and 5.5p on each debit card.
In total UK retailers still paid £800m in such fees last year, charges that have been criticised by the British Retail Consortium (BRC).
Cards have already overtaken cash for retail payments, according to figures for last year from the BRC.
But banks and card companies should not be driving that move, Mr Daley said.
"In 50 years it seems unlikely that most of us will be using cash. But banks need to let evolution follow its natural course, rather than accelerating it," he told the BBC.
"As a responsible society we need to look after vulnerable customers who rely on cash."
Last month Victoria Cleland, the Bank of England's chief cashier, said that 2.7 million people in the UK rely almost entirely on cash - that's 5% of adults.
Nevertheless at least one cafe in London - Browns of Brockley -has already gone cashless.
In a statement, Visa said that following the launch of the scheme in the US, "we hope to bring similar cashless initiatives to other countries, including the UK".
"At this time, we do not have a firm plan on when such an initiative would be available in the UK."
In June this year, Visa chief executive Al Kelly told investors that the company was "focused on putting cash out of business".
"The number one growth lever [for the company] is the conversion of cheque and cash to digital and electronic payments."
It now ranks alongside the likes of Champagne, Parma ham and Greek feta cheese in having Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status under EU law.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said the move would guarantee its heritage and be a major boost for Cumbria's butchers.
Other protected UK food and drink products include Cornish clotted cream and Stilton cheese.
To display the PGI mark, the sausage must be produced, processed and prepared in Cumbria and have a meat content of at least 80%.
Recipes vary from butcher to butcher, but must include seasoning and be sold in a long coil.
Food minister Jim Paice said: "We're justly proud of British food and I'm delighted to welcome traditional Cumberland sausage as the first of our many fine sausages to win protected status.
"This should be a significant boost to Cumbrian producers, who will now be able to prove that their product is the real thing."
He added: "Today's achievement is a tribute to all the hard work led by John Anderson, the force behind the Cumberland Sausage Association, who sadly died last year."
Peter Gott, of the Cumberland Sausage Association, said: "This is a great milestone for the county and a well deserved place in England's food history for a truly sensational, diverse food product."
Its report, which looked at women in England and Wales, showed roughly one in 14 women born in 1995 (7%) had at least one child before they were 20.
The Family Planning Association said the decline showed teenagers have "the skills to make positive choices".
But others criticised it as the result of pressure to use contraceptives.
Figures from the ONS report demonstrate there has been a "gradual decrease" in the rate of teenage motherhood, which is now comparable to the level seen in the generation of women born in the early 1920s.
The proportion of 7% is in comparison to a peak of one in five (20%) for women born in 1952.
The news follows a decline in the rate of teenage pregnancies, which the ONS said earlier this year had fallen to the lowest level since records began.
The latest data is measured differently to teenage pregnancy rates, which includes abortions.
The report also looked at family size in women from different generations, and showed the average family size for women born in 1970 by the time they were aged 45 was 1.91 children.
This was slightly lower than their mothers' generation, represented by women born in 1943, who had an average of 2.24 children by the time they were 45.
However, the ONS said this was not necessarily evidence that women were having less children, and it suggested the decrease was linked to women having children later in life.
Paul Casey, from sexual health charity the Family Planning Association, said the figures are "hopefully evidence of teenagers having easy access to contraception and support services, and the confidence to use them".
"A lot of hard work, particularly through the 10-year Teenage Pregnancy Strategy, has helped to bring about this change, and it's really important we don't lose momentum."
He added: "While we still do not have consistent, high quality sex and relationships education for all young people, and we see sexual and reproductive health services affected by recent public health spending cuts, we risk unravelling years of progress."
But Dr Ellie Lee, Director of the Centre for Parenting Culture Studies at the University of Kent, said the decline is not necessarily good news.
"Teenage births were already at historically low levels, and the trajectory before the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy was already in a downwards direction," she said.
The strategy "should be much more controversial than it is", she said, because "there was a push, through the strategy, of long-term contraceptives such as implants and injections".
"It was presented as improving the sexual and reproductive health of children" Dr Lee said, but "a teen needs to be able to have a choice-based discussion about what's right for her".
She added: "There are still negative attitudes towards teenage mothers and it is unwarranted. It is seen as a disaster, but there is no reason to suggest that they are any worse than any other mother."
A spokesman for the museum in Washington said that playing the game inside a memorial to victims of Nazism was "extremely inappropriate".
The Arlington National Cemetery, just three miles away from the museum, has also warned off Pokemon players.
Both locations feature in the new smartphone game, which has become a commercial and cultural phenomenon.
Pokemon Go allows players to search locations in the real world to find Pokemon creatures.
It topped the app store download chart on both iPhone's App Store and Google Play just days after its release in the US, Australia and New Zealand.
Like many other landmarks, both the museum in Washington and the military cemetery in Virginia are places where players can come across Pokemon creatures.
They are both reportedly also Pokestops, where players can collect virtual items like snacks and medicine for Pokemon, but officials at the museum are trying to get it removed from the game.
And the cemetery has also made its move to address the new craze.
"Playing games such as Pokemon Go on these hallowed grounds would not be deemed appropriate," cemetery officials said in a statement.
Spokesman Stephen Smith said they had not experienced any problems yet but wanted to act before they potentially arose.
It would be hard to know whether someone was playing the game on their phone or using the cemetery's own app to find their way round.
There has been no response yet from game developers Niantic Labs on whether it could stop Pokemon creatures from appearing inside the Holocaust Museum.
Officers stormed a second-floor flat above shops on Hagley Road in Ladywood at 23:00 GMT on Wednesday.
Seven arrests have been made in Birmingham with an eighth in London, the Met Police confirmed.
Police named the attacker as Khalid Masood, 52, who was born in Kent and believed to be most recently living in the West Midlands.
The Metropolitan Police said:
In a statement, the force said: "Overnight our colleagues from the Metropolitan Police have searched a number of addresses across the country and have made a number of arrests in connection with the [Westminster] incident, including addresses in Birmingham.
"The arrests and searches were intelligence led and there was no immediate risk to public safety."
For the latest updates on this story, see the Birmingham Live Page
Four people died when an attacker drove a car along a pavement in Westminster, stabbed a policeman, then was shot dead by police in the grounds of the Palace of Westminster.
A further 36 people have been treated in hospital, with seven remaining in a critical condition.
Witnesses to the Birmingham raid said they were locked out of their properties for more than an hour.
Farha Makanvand, the owner of the Hagley Road flat that was raided, said he did not know who the tenants were because they go through a letting agency.
Mr Makanvand, who also owns a restaurant next door, said as a British citizen and British Muslim, he wished to make it clear he was "appalled by this act of violence".
Stuart Bailey, who lives four doors down, was going for a drink with his friend when an armed officer shouted for him to "go left".
The 25-year-old said: "There were a load of armed police in the street and on the pavement and I could see three or four in front of me.
"They were all dressed in black and armed with what looked like MP5s and one of them had six ammunition magazines strapped to his leg."
Another witness, Mampreet Kaur, said she locked herself and her baby in their home as police raided the flat.
"It was really, really scary," she said.
Another man who lived in the neighbouring flats said he glanced out of the window and saw about a dozen armed police wearing helmets and body armour.
He said: "There were armed police and some important-looking guys in suits as well.
"They had tools and they were trying to break the doors down, trying to force themselves in.
"We were basically staying in our house. We didn't know what was happening.
"Somebody said it was to do with the attack on Parliament, and now we're very scared and frightened."
The man said he remembered two men living in the flat.
Meanwhile car hire company Enterprise confirmed a Hyundai vehicle from its Spring Hill depot, in Birmingham, was used in the attack.
A spokesperson said: "We can confirm that the car used in the tragic attack in London yesterday afternoon was one of ours.
"An employee identified the vehicle after seeing the licence plate in an image online. We ran another check to verify, and immediately contacted the authorities.
"We will provide any assistance that we can to the investigation."
The West Midlands force said it was increasing security in Birmingham over the next few days.
"We are keen to stress that this additional security is not based on any new or emerging intelligence," it said.
In a statement, the Birmingham Faith Leaders' Group condemned the attack and said: "We implore people to recognise that such actions are taken by individuals, not by whole communities.
"Every day in Birmingham we see examples of creative, productive and supportive relations across the faiths. We should unite in our condemnation and strive to create better, stronger relations with fellow citizens, especially in trying times."
Ross Workman, former head of Oldswinford C of E Primary School in Stourbridge, was sentenced to a three-year community order with supervision.
The 51-year-old, of Low Fold Close, Worcester, was also ordered to register as a sex offender for five years at a hearing at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
He had previously admitted six counts of making indecent images of children.
The offences happened between January and March 2011.
Workman was arrested in November 2014 and parents were informed about the investigation by letter.
Jenny Birchall, current head teacher at Oldswinford CE Primary School, said: "There is no suggestion or evidence that the school, its staff, or the pupils of our school are involved in any way.
"Our school continues as normal, and I hope this will be a fresh chapter for Oldswinford CE Primary."
The stars gathered on Sunday at a private party to celebrate the 50-year partnership between songwriters Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson.
During the gala, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad performed the Abba song The Way Old Friends Do.
Ulvaeus and Andersson joined in at the end of the song, marking the band's first public performance in 30 years.
Footage of the performance has yet to surface, but images of the quartet have appeared on social media.
Since winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, Abba have sold almost 400 million singles and albums around the world. Mamma Mia!, the musical based on their hits and produced by Ulvaeus and Andersson, has been seen by more than 50 million people.
During their most successful period, the band survived marriage break-ups between Ulvaeus and Faltskog, and Lyngstad and Andersson, but they finally called it a day in 1983.
Their last public performance came three years later, on the Swedish version of TV show This Is Your Life, which was honouring their manager Stig Anderson.
Abba have resisted pressure to reunite ever since, including a reported $1bn (£689m) offer for the band to tour in 2000.
"They were talking about 120 gigs or something," Andersson said of the deal. "It would have taken 10 years out of my life. Just the stress. And leaving people disappointed all the time.
"It was easy to say no to it. And we all felt the same."
Speaking to the BBC in 2013, Faltskog said she preferred to leave the band in the past.
"It was such a long time ago, and we are getting older, and we have our different lives," she explained.
However, the band have appeared together for promotional events - at the premiere of Mamma Mia! in 2005 and, more recently, at the opening of an Abba-themed restaurant in Sweden.
Speaking after Sunday's celebration, Lyngstad told Swedish newspaper Expressen: "It was absolutely amazing. A lot of emotions.
"We've made this journey throughout our history. Benny and Bjorn in particular. Its been very nostalgic."
An earlier version of this story mistakenly identified the song Abba performed as Me and I, based on Swedish media reports. The first line of The Way Old Friends Do is "You and I".
Awais Ali Shah, a lawyer, was rescued early on Tuesday near Tank, a town close to Pakistan's tribal region bordering Afghanistan, a spokesman said.
He was found in a car with his legs and hands bound and wearing a burqa.
Three militants were said to be killed in a shootout before he was rescued.
A splinter group of the Pakistani Taliban was responsible for the kidnapping, the spokesman said.
They were moving Mr Shah at the time.
Who are the Taliban?
The kidnappers had contacted the family of Sindh provincial Chief Justice Sajjad Ali Shah, he added, but did not provide details of what they demanded.
It has been reported that police suspected the kidnappers wanted to use the judge's son as leverage in negotiations to free Islamist militants from jail.
Mr Shah was kidnapped on June 21 in an upscale Karachi neighbourhood.
This is the third high profile kidnapping to have ended on a happy note in four months and the fact that Mr Shah was recovered within less than a month is being used by the military's PR wing to enhance its image. The others were rescued after years in captivity.
Militant groups operating in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region have used kidnappings to boost revenues via ransoms or to secure the release of jailed comrades.
A vast network of inter-connected militant groups and their allied criminal gangs are involved. All three of the victims recently freed were seized in Pakistan's major cities and then shipped hundreds of kilometres on roads manned by security posts to the border region in the northwest. This shows the kidnappers possess considerable local support networks all along these routes.
Kidnappings for ransom was at its height during 2009-14 when hundreds of people - mostly industrialists and businessmen but also diplomats, aid workers, foreign tourists and politicians - were kidnapped each year.
But in recent years there's been a decline. This is partly due to increased military action in the border region that has eliminated previously safe militant havens, and also because of increase security along the connecting routes.
Pakistan has been fighting the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) since 2007.
Other high-profile kidnappings have been carried out by militant groups in the country in recent years.
Shahbaz Taseer, the son of murdered Punjab governor Salman Taseer, was finally released in March after four years in captivity.
In May, Ali Haider Gilani, the son of a former prime minister, was rescued after being kidnapped in 2013.
The Dumfries-born musician is worth an estimated £70m, putting him at number 30 on the UK list.
Despite his relative youth, the 31-year-old's fortune is said to be equal to that of Mark Knopfler, of Dire Straits, and The Who's Pete Townsend.
The chart is topped by former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney who, with his wife Nancy Shevell, has a fortune of £730m.
It is all a far cry from the superstar DJ's modest upbringing in Dumfries, where he was plain Adam Wiles.
He is said to have been a quiet pupil at Dumfries High School, where he was a keen student of music.
According to his former music teacher, Stewart Solley, he spent most of his spare time, during the lunch break and after school, using early computer software to compose music.
He said: "The kind of music he was putting out at the time, I just thought it was fairly repetitive and fairly monotone stuff. But obviously I am not his market."
The teacher added: "I would say he wasn't the best musician I taught, but he had a lot of creative ideas.
"I am very, very proud of him and proud to have taught him."
After leaving school, he began recording music under the name Calvin Harris and uploading his work to MySpace.
At the same time he worked at Marks and Spencer in Dumfries, where he became friends with another budding musician, Sean McCole.
Mr McCole, who now writes and records as Sean Vs The Robots, said: "I always loved his music and I had a feeling that it would do really well as there was nothing else that sounded like that at the time.
"He always worked really hard and he was constantly sending tracks to record labels and management companies, so I wasn't surprised when he told me that he had eventually secured a deal."
Mr McCole later toured with the star as part of his band, before returning to Dumfries.
Calvin Harris is now based in Los Angeles and he holds lucrative residencies at three Las Vegas venues.
But his friends insist his stratospheric success has not changed their relationship.
Mr McCole said: "I feel the same way towards him now as I did then. I'm still really impressed with every new track that he releases and I'm always excited to hear what he will come up with next.
"I try and make it to his gigs whenever he is in the UK. Last year we made it along to T in the Park for a catch-up and he also invited myself and my wife out to see him when he played in Puerto Rico at Halloween.
"This year we are going to catch up when he plays Bellahouston Park in Glasgow.
"I'm very proud that I was there in the beginning and I feel so lucky to have been part of his live band for over four years. We had some crazy, fun times playing music that we all loved all over the word. I will never forget the opportunity that he gave me."
David Allen Brutsche, 42, and Devon Campbell Newman, 67, told a Las Vegas judge they did not recognise his authority to keep them in jail.
The roommates were arrested earlier this week after a sting operation.
Police say an undercover officer spent four months with the pair monitoring their alleged "sovereign citizen" plot.
There are 300,000 followers of the sovereign citizen anti-government philosophy around the US, according to a non-profit civil rights group, the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The two suspects shopped for guns, found a vacant house and set it up to bind and interrogate captives, according to the authorities.
They also allegedly recorded videos to justify their murder plot against police officers.
The investigation began when an undercover officer befriended the two accused in April, said police.
Las Vegas police Lt James Seebock told reporters the plot had been a case of domestic terrorism.
"They were furthering their 'sovereign citizen' ideology by committing criminal acts toward law enforcement," Lt Seebock said.
"The suspects believed that once the first kidnapping and execution was accomplished, they would be compelled to keep repeating their actions, kidnapping and killing multiple officers."
The judge sent them back to jail pending a court hearing on 9 September.
The world number two won 6-1 6-3 in one hour 17 minutes to set up a last-eight tie with either Gael Monfils of France or Belgium's David Goffin.
Murray played aggressively, though he will want to improve on a 46% first-serve percentage.
"I was able to dictate a lot of points. It was a good match," said Murray.
The world number two began superbly, breaking his 22-year-old opponent in the second and fourth games, and concluded an impressive first set in 39 minutes with the Frenchman making 13 unforced errors.
"Those first two games were important," said the Scot.
"They were 17 minutes long - he had a chance in the first game, and in the second game I had a few break points before I got it.
"Once I got ahead I did feel like I played a good match. I felt I was able to dictate a lot of the points."
Thirteenth seed Pouille was broken immediately at the start of the second set and although he managed to hold his serve three times thereafter, he was unable to stop Murray from breaking again to seal victory.
Murray admitted he did not serve at his best, but still won 95% of points on his first serve.
"The second serve has improved a lot this year and that allows me to go for more on the first serves," said the 29-year-old Wimbledon champion.
World number one Novak Djokovic also progressed, but had to work for his 6-4 6-4 win over Canada's Vasek Pospisil.
The top seed will next play Germany's Mischa Zverev, who beat Spain's Marcel Granollers 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-1.
French ninth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga saw off Alexander Zverev of Germany 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 7-5 and will play Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut in the last eight.
The southbound carriageway between junctions 4 and 3 near Coventry will be shut from 22:00 and 06:00 GMT.
There will also be a 50mph speed limit on a half-a-mile section of the northbound carriageway around the Meridien Road bridge
Diversions will be in place while the resurfacing work is done and drivers are urged to allow extra journey time.
Purnima Kaul, from the Highways Agency said: "We need to resurface a number of sections of the carriageway.
"As all lanes and the hard shoulder will be affected the only way to do this safely is under a full closure.
"Road users should therefore allow extra time for their journey and familiarise themselves with the diversion before setting off." | On Tuesday, the Kurdish-Arab Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance announced that the battle for Raqqa had officially begun.

No other Brit has managed that many, and only 45 other players from around the world have passed the landmark since Open tennis began in 1968.
There are eight other currently active players who have passed 500 wins too, with Roger Federer topping the pile on 1,012 wins.
But which of Andy's 500 victories have been the most significant?
The 18-year-old Scot had already proved he knew his way round a grass-court by reaching the third round at Queen's where he came up against the 2002 Australian Open champion Thomas Johansson. Murray split the first two sets with the Swede on two tie-breaks, and it was nip and tuck in the decider when the Scot's physical condition deteriorated. He struggled with cramp, appeared to faint at one point and could barely run by the end of the match. Johansson came through 7-6 6-7 7-5 but Murray proved he could mix it with the world's best, although his weak physical condition was a concern.
By now Murray was hovering around the top 10 in the world but was yet to make a breakthrough in a Grand Slam. In the fourth round that year, Murray came up against the flashy Frenchman Richard Gasquet, who stormed into a two-set lead. Murray showed impressive steel and determination however to drag himself back into contention in front of an increasingly hysterical centre court crowd. Murray's physical condition was much improved and when he secured victory in the fifth set, he turned to his box and flexed his bicep, highlighting the work he'd put in off court to toughen himself up.
The Spaniard had thrashed the Scot in the last eight of Wimbledon a couple of months previously, but when they met again in the last four in New York, Murray was tougher both physically and mentally. It was his first appearance in a Grand Slam semi-final and he took the fight to the then world number one, even winning the physical battle with a player renowned for his strength and powers of recovery. Murray went through to the final in four sets, where he was dismantled by Roger Federer in three. Not the result he wanted, but it was further proof that here was a Grand Slam champion in waiting.
Murray was still waiting for that maiden major triumph after three previous final defeats, and anticipation was rightly high after he booked his spot in the Wimbledon final. On the other side of the net was arguably the greatest player of all time, particularly on a grass-court, Roger Federer. The Swiss is immensely popular wherever he plays, not least on centre court which is why the crowd's affection appeared to be evenly split. Federer impressed on the way to a four-set win, but it was during the presentation ceremony that Murray really left his mark. The Scot gave a tearful speech which endeared him to millions and released some of the pressure and tension he had been carrying on his shoulders.
Just a matter of weeks after his Wimbledon final defeat, Murray had the chance for revenge against the Swiss on the same court in the Olympic final. On this occasion there was no doubt where the crowd's loyalties lay; Murray swept to victory on the back of a vocal and euphoric wave of British Olympic fever. He handed the Swiss one of his most humbling defeats in a final, securing the gold medal with an ace. It may not have been a major, but it was his biggest title to date and it proved he was getting closer to that all important first Grand Slam crown.
Murray was the form player of the summer after that Wimbledon final and his gold medal triumph. However, he had suffered defeat in all his four Grand Slam finals to date. On this occasion it was the defending champion Novak Djokovic on the other side of the next. Murray made a strong start, taking the first two sets before being pegged back by the dogged Serb. At the start of the fifth Murray took a bathroom break when he looked in the mirror and promised himself he would do whatever it took to get over the line. He then dug deep to become Britain's first Grand Slam winner in 76 years by posting a 7-6 7-5 2-6 3-6 6-2 triumph in an epic four hours and 54 minutes in the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Murray had got the Grand Slam duck off his back, but the one everyone really wanted to see him win was Wimbledon. Unlike 12 months previously there was no doubt where the loyalty of the crowd lay, with Murray roared out as he stepped onto a blisteringly hot centre court. The atmosphere resembled the Olympic final of the previous year and Murray repaid his support by producing the most accomplished performance in a major final of his career. The Scot stormed into a two-set lead and served for the match at 5-4 in the third. What followed was a nerve shredding final game where break points came and went, before Murray eventually sealed the win at his fourth attempt, ending a 77-year wait for a British men's singles champion at Wimbledon.

Some 17,000 out of 24,000 children who sat the NI Numeracy Assessment (NINA) tests this autumn received lower scores than they actually achieved.
The Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) said that the third party supplier of the tests was responsible for the error.
The tests are used to assess maths skills and progress of pupils in P4-P7.
The CCEA said it was apologising "unreservedly" for the mistake.
Both the computer-based NINA and Northern Ireland Literacy Assessment (NILA) tests were the subject of a critical Department of Education review in 2014, following widespread technical problems experienced by pupils taking the tests.
Following that, the then education minister John O'Dowd said the tests were not mandatory for schools.
However, a substantial number of primary schools - 267 - still use them.
In an email to school principals on 19 December, CCEA said that the supplier had initially told them that there was no problem with the tests.
However, it was eventually discovered that there was an error "in the software used to calculate the final scores for a number of pupils taking the assessment".
"The error has been rectified and the correct scores have been generated by the supplier," the email continued.
"In all cases, the correct scores will show higher performance than previously reported."
The chief executive of the CCEA, Justin Edwards, said that the quality of the service had fallen short of expectations and apologised unreservedly for any distress the error had caused.
"Children do not need to retake assessments for correct scores to be calculated," he said. "All schools that elected to take the assessments are being contacted and supported at this time."
The results of the literacy tests are not affected by the error.
However, one school principal who contacted the BBC said that the maths results were very important.
"The test will have led to children being moved between learning groups, and we will have met parents to discuss concerns about their child's maths results," they said.
"Seven out of 10 children in our school were affected and their marks rose significantly when the amended scores arrived today.
"It was a massive jump which completely changed the perception of their performance. It is difficult now to see schools having confidence in these tests going forward."
Education Minister Peter Weir said he was disappointed by the error.
"I will want CCEA to explore what actions it can take and what penalties should be considered in respect of the relevant supplier to ensure that such occurrences do not happen again," he said.
"I am currently considering the future of Computer Based Assessment (CBA) policy and will make a decision on the future of CBA in the New Year."
The Department of Education also confirmed that the yearly cost of the maths tests was £200,000.
Under current Home Office rules any such "sexting" incident reported to the police must be recorded as a crime.
The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) will advise teachers on when they should report such incidents.
It confirmed to the BBC that new guidelines were being developed but were in very early stages.
Sending indecent selfies to a friend or lover using a smartphone is known as sexting.
Typically in England and Wales, producing and distributing sexual images of anybody under 18 is a criminal offence, even if two under-18s are sexting one another.
If an incident of teen sexting is reported to police, the names of those allegedly involved can be stored on the Police National Database for at least 10 years, even if no criminal charges are brought.
In 2015, a Freedom of Information request by the Sun revealed that 1,000 under-18s had been investigated by police for sexting between 2012 and 2014.
The new guidance, which will be sent to schools and police forces in England and Wales, will advise teachers on when they should report sexting to the police.
"These incidences do not need to be reported in every situation," said Deputy Chief Constable Olivia Pinkney, of the NPCC.
"Parents and professionals can use their own judgement on when to involve the police."
The Sunday Times newspaper suggested that the guidance might advise that incidents involving children being blackmailed or bullied over their naked pictures were the sort of more "serious cases" where teachers might decide to involve the police.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, children's charity the NSPCC welcomed the news.
Alan Wardle, its head of policy, said: "Clearly it is an issue. It is how young people are living their lives and expressing their sexuality... we have to deal with the reality of that."
"What we don't want to be doing is necessarily criminalising 15-year-olds sending pictures of themselves in a consensual relationship... it is an issue that needs to be looked at.
"If they're going to university, they're going for jobs... they don't want something that happened when they were younger haunting them for years to come."
The police chiefs' council said it would work with schools and families to help prevent young people becoming "the victims and perpetrators of crime".
"Sexting may seem like a harmless or normal activity but there are many risks involved," said DCC Pinkney.
"It is essential that we work, alone and alongside partners such as schools and families, to intervene early."

He also played for the Catalan national team - an unofficial squad that plays friendly matches.
His former club have historically been seen as a standard bearer for Catalan identity. Chants supporting an independent Catalonia frequently ring out around their Camp Nou stadium.
Ahead of last November's referendum, the former midfielder signed an open letter appealing for the result to be respected.
"We Catalans, along with our democratic government and institutions, want to vote so we can decide what kind of relationship we want to establish with Spain for the future," he wrote alongside other high-profile Catalans.
Catalonia is a wealthy region of 7.5 million people and contributes more to the Spanish economy than it gets back through central government funds.
Economic and cultural grievances have fuelled Catalan nationalism.
He was seeking to limit his successors to a single six-year term in office.
Mr Talon was elected last year, saying he wanted to shorten presidential terms to combat complacency.
He needed the approval of three-quarters of the National Assembly to go ahead with the change.
The one-term proposal appears to be in contrast to what is happening in some countries, such as Rwanda and the Republic of Congo and Burundi, where presidents have had their time in office extended.
The term-limit proposal was part of a raft of changes to the constitution including setting a cap on political party funding.
But some of Mr Talon's critics say that singe term presidencies are open to abuse, as the president would not have to court the favour of voters at the end of his term.
It is not known if the president, who was elected last year, will seek a second term as provided by the constitution. Or whether he will organise a referendum to amend the constitution, as he had promised before he came to power.
PC Dave Wardell was stabbed in the hand and his German shepherd Finn was stabbed in the head and chest in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, on 5 October.
They had been called in to apprehend a man suspected of robbing a taxi driver at gunpoint.
"Finn was stabbed trying to protect me," PC Wardell said. "He got it first."
"He was taking down an offender as he has done hundreds of times, and in the blink of an eye everything changed."
He rushed Finn to a vet who performed surgery to save the dog's life.
"I stayed until they made me go to hospital then I came back," PC Wardell said.
"The bond between a handler and his dogs is second to none. Seeing my partner stabbed was one of the worst days of my life."
Four days later Finn returned to the home he shares with the Wardell family and sniffer dog Pearl, a spaniel.
A week later Finn is doing well and "being very cheeky", PC Wardell said.
"He found some treats, ripped open the packet and ate the lot."
Pearl, with whom Finn shares a kennel "has been missing him lots".
"Finn's allowed for short walks and goes to the kennel then shows off a bit because he's allowed back inside the house.
"He can't understand why he can't go out and work."
His stitches should be removed next week but it could be several weeks before vets know whether he will be fit enough to work.
A 16-year-old boy from Lewisham, south-east London, has been charged with assaulting an officer and with criminal damage.
Following the charge, a petition was set up on the UK government's petition site, proposing that police animals "be given protection that reflects their status if assaulted in the line of duty".
Since 9 October, 57,000 people have signed "Finn's Law".
Isle of Wight Council received none of a £300m fund to help councils hardest hit by cuts.
Island MP Andrew Turner told the House of Commons the council's future was "not secure".
Communities Secretary Greg Clark said he would visit the island and consider its special circumstances.
The Independent-run Isle of Wight Council faces a predicted budget gap of about £32m over the next four years.
Council leader Jonathan Bacon previously said he was "incensed" at not being included in "transitional" funding for councils hardest hit by cuts announced in February and, without special consideration, the council would "simply not be able to provide statutory services in the future".
Conservative Andrew Turner told MPs on Wednesday: "The future of the Isle of Wight Council beyond this year was not secure. Money is in short supply but when there is not so much to go round it is then that resources must be shared most fully."
Mr Clark blamed a funding formula inherited from the Labour government which the coalition could not agree to change.
"This government is determined to build a fair settlement for local government and the review will consider the costs associated with being separated from the mainland," he said.
Welcoming the secretary of state's comments, Mr Bacon said he was concerned there were no timescales to completing this review.
"I cannot see any way the council can set a lawful, balanced budget for 2017/18 based on the current planned funding allocations from government.
"Public services on the island are under increasing and unique pressure, due to increasing demands for our services, increasing burdens imposed by government and a raft of other limitations that being an island brings," he said.
More than 6,000 people left the capital for England's second city last year, according to the latest internal migration statistics.
The second, third and fourth most popular destinations were all within 50 miles of London - Brighton, Thurrock and Epping Forest respectively.
Business leaders say the figures reflect an ongoing trend.

Birmingham move: Your stories
Emma Gray, marketing director for Visit Birmingham, said the city had seen significant growth and investment.
"People may have older perceptions of Birmingham and have not seen how it has transformed over the past 10 years," she said.
"Businesses both internationally and domestically are looking for opportunities outside the capital."
"They know that by being located in a central place like Birmingham they have the best of both worlds, they can get back to friends and family, and because they are in the middle of the country they can explore more."

Last year, HSBC bank said about 1,000 jobs would be transferred from London to Birmingham as it relocates its headquarters to a new office in the city centre.
Deutsche Bank has also continued to expand in the city.
Tom Cullen, the founder of e-magazine, I Choose Birmingham, lived in London for 13 years.
He said: "Birmingham will never have culture, entertainment, food and drink on the level that London does, but it does offer a brilliant blend of all of the above and affordable housing, and good school options.
"Perhaps, most importantly, though, people are no longer embarrassed to say they live in, or are moving to, Birmingham. Those who still have a negative impression of the second city - and it certainly is the second city - either haven't visited in the last three years or simply will not allow their opinion to be changed.
"Brum has a swagger to it now. It doesn't care what the rest of the nation thinks because it is self-assured, it's comfortable in the knowledge that it's an incredible city, whether other Brits agree or not."
Some Londoners who moved to Birmingham have shared their experiences on Facebook.
But others disagree.
The figures, analysed by BBC England's data unit, are largely based on NHS registrations and are likely to be an underestimate.
They will include students heading to university, as well as people who were moved from London boroughs because local authorities were not able to afford the rising cost of housing them in the capital. One authority, Wandsworth, admitted offering grants of up to £7,000 to anyone prepared to move to Birmingham.
Lucy Williams, head of UK Bank Regulatory Compliance at HSBC, moved to Birmingham with her husband and three children.
"My last visit to the city was 25 years ago and it was very different then. It's an incredibly vibrant city. Physically, it's changed dramatically, she said.
"The community has been incredibly welcoming... and reached out to us.
"There's an awful lot going on in the city all the time. The move for the family has been incredibly positive."
Heather Richardson, director of Fish Home Finders, which helps people to relocate to the West Midlands, said young professionals were attracted by lower property prices and a better quality of life.
"They have this image of Birmingham being a really industrial city and every single time people say 'wow, I did not know Birmingham was like this'.
"There's nothing like living in a capital city, you can't compete with that, but Birmingham has everything on a smaller scale."
Luke Addis, founder of Updates Media added: "The city has really upped it's game in recent years. It's currently undergoing a huge regeneration and big businesses - like HSBC - coming into the city yet still the house prices are refreshingly affordable.
"You get the best of both worlds in Birmingham - a cosmopolitan lifestyle without the price tag."

The incident occurred at about 01:00 on Wednesday at the Eivissa beauty salon on the town's High Street.
A plastic bottle was set alight and thrown against the shop window, causing smoke damage to the doorframe.
Officers are searching for two men who were seen running from the area shortly afterwards.
They are described as white, in their early to mid twenties, and were wearing dark clothing.
Police Scotland's Insp Andy Harborow said the force was taking the incident "very seriously".
Liu Xiaoming was speaking on BBC1's Andrew Marr Show the day before the start of President Xi Jinping's state visit to the UK.
He said the expected deal to build a new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point was "in the best interests of Britain and also in the interest of partnership between China and UK".
"UK people want to have a better life, want to have clean energy," he said.
In a written answer to the Reuters news agency, President Xi said: "The UK has stated that it will be the Western country that is most open to China. This is a visionary and strategic choice that fully meets Britain's own long-term interest."
The Chinese ambassador was also asked whether a UK company would be allowed to build nuclear power plants in China in the way that Chinese firms will be doing in the UK.
"Do you have the money first, do you have the technology, do you have expertise?" Mr Liu replied.
"If you have all this, we certainly would want to have co-operation with you like the French. We have some co-operation with France."
The chief executive of France's EDF said on Sunday he expected an announcement about a deal with Chinese investors to build a nuclear plant at Hinkley Point, in Somerset, during the state visit.
"If all goes well, we will be able to announce major news in coming days; the first nuclear new-build in Europe since the Fukushima accident," Jean-Bernard Levy said.
The EDF chief defended the £92 per megawatt hour price that the UK government has guaranteed to pay his company.
"Britain is not giving guarantees to do us a favour, but because Hinkley Point will provide power 24 hours a day for 60 years. Security of supply has a value," he said.
Asked whether he expected the deal to be announced, Mr Liu said: "I certainly hope so because it is a very important project between our two countries."
The nuclear plant agreement is one of a number of business deals expected to be signed during the visit.
There is also likely to be a strategic alliance between BP and the state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) to develop oil resources in countries including Iraq.
It is reported that BP hopes to use the agreement to improve its chances of expanding its operations in China.

The three-time champions needed extra time to beat Algeria in the last 16 and suffered a bout of illness in midweek, but they were comfortable victors over a disappointing France in Rio de Janeiro.
Hummels got the better of Raphael Varane to score what proved to be the winning goal and Germany can now prepare for a meeting with Brazil in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday after the hosts beat Colombia.
Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer gave another faultless performance and Joachim Low's men deserved their win against a France side who failed to hit the heights of earlier in the tournament.
It is 60 years to the day since Germany overturned a two-goal deficit to upset Hungary in the 1954 final, and this will go down as another memorable day in their history.
In the build-up, Low dismissed talk of France seeking revenge for 1982, when Germany goalkeeper Harald Schumacher escaped punishment for a brutal challenge on Patrick Battiston and went on to save two penalties as his side came through a shootout to reach the final.
But what could not be ignored was Germany's greater experience and, despite a reconfigured starting line-up and doubts over their health, they again showed their international pedigree.
Hummels returned to central defence after a bout of "flu-like symptoms", with Per Mertesacker unexpectedly the man to make way as Germany looked to contain France's quick forwards.
Philipp Lahm moved from midfield to right-back in place of Shkodran Mustafi, Sami Khedira coming into midfield, and there was a surprise start for 36-year-old Miroslav Klose in attack.
Germany looked far more balanced than against Algeria in their last match, and a period of sustained pressure told when Hummels held off Varane to guide home a Toni Kroos free-kick.
It was the first time France had gone behind in the tournament and the first time they had conceded in the opening half. Their afternoon could have got worse when Mathieu Debuchy challenged Klose in the box, only for referee Nestor Pitana to ignore the Germany appeals.
Les Bleus were struggling to find any rhythm as Bastian Schweinsteiger, Khedira and the excellent Kroos dominated the midfield, but they soon began to expose Germany's dangerously high defensive line.
Antoine Griezmann broke clear and crossed for Mathieu Valbuena to force Neuer into a stunning one-handed save and Karim Benzema's close-range follow-up was deflected over the bar.
Benzema went close twice more as France gained some momentum before half-time, and they maintained it after the break as Yohan Cabaye, Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuidi gained control of the central areas, allowing Griezmann and Valbuena to cause damage from wide.
But Germany appeared to realise the increased threat, dropping deeper and limiting France to a Varane header and Matuidi strike that were both comfortably saved by Neuer.
Low introduced Andre Schurrle from the bench and he significantly boosted the tiring Germans, although he might have done better with two opportunities on the counter attack.
France manager Didier Deschamps turned to Olivier Giroud, who set up Benzema in stoppage time, only for Neuer to repel his angled drive with a strong fist.
The atmosphere inside this iconic ground was relatively flat, reflecting an unspectacular encounter, but at the end the Germany celebrations and France tears illustrated just how much the result meant.
France coach Didier Deschamps:
"Although our adventure in Brazil ends here and we're sad, disappointed and frustrated, we'll move on.
"I hope this group of players can play together for a long time. I have a lot of work to do with them, but things are definitely promising.
"Today, there wasn't much between the two sides. I thought we were a little bit timid at first and they scored early. After that, we showed promise. We created chances and could have been more clinical, but Manuel Neuer had a good game."
Germany coach Joachim Low:
"We played well, we played with a compact defence. They had some long balls against us but we did a classy job taking care of those.
"Our midfield did a very good job disrupting their attack. We didn't have any organisation problems.
"It was an incredibly exciting match but you can't expect anything else at the World Cup. Both teams were equals. Our team had fought hard to the end."
RBS has been trying to reach a last-minute settlement with thousands of investors who say they were misled over the bank's financial health in the run-up to its near-collapse in 2008.
The civil case was due to begin on Monday.
But it was adjourned to allow settlement talks to continue.
On Tuesday, Mr Justice Hildyard granted a second 24-hour adjournment after being told discussions between the parties were making significant progress.
The claimants are demanding £520m from the bank and four former directors, including former RBS boss Fred Goodwin.
RBS has now offered the investors 82p a share, almost double its previous offer.
Jonathan Nash QC, for the claimants, told the judge: "The present position is that the majority of claimants have indicated their willingness to accept the latest offer from the defendant.
"There now appears to be a good prospect that within the course of today the remaining claimants, or nearly all, will confirm they will also agree in principle so as to bring a practical end to the proceedings."
The judge, in granting the further adjournment, said: "There is obvious interest in the court in seeking to facilitate a full and final settlement agreeable to the parties."
But he pointed out it was also important that the court's time was not was not taken up idly with adjournments and there had to be a "realistic timetable".
He said: "There will come a time when the claimants must simply realise that it is incumbent on them to make up their minds whether to continue with the litigation."
Mr Nash said, barring "unforeseen developments", an adjournment of a day would be sufficient.
He also said if the trial had to go ahead the parties were confident the case could be heard within the allotted time.
The case centres on a rights issue aimed at funding a multi-billion-pound deal to buy Dutch rival ABN Amro at the height of the financial crisis in 2007.
It involved asking existing shareholders to pump £12bn into the bank in exchange for discounted extra shares.
The bank and former directors deny any wrongdoing.
The bank has already settled the majority of claims over the issue, but has not admitted liability.
The 86ft (26m) high Naze Tower at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, was covered in scaffolding in November.
Work was undertaken to alleviate damp problems, which involved replacing cement with lime mortar to allow the building to breathe by allowing air to get through.
The Tower has also had internal walls lime washed and cracks repaired.
The tower, which overlooks the North Sea, Hamford Water and the ports of Felixstowe and Harwich, was originally built as a shipping aid and would have had beacons lit on it when it was built in 1720.
It was taken over by the RAF in World War Two and used as a radar station.
The Nye-Browne family bought it in 1995 and it is now used as a visitor attraction.
Owner Michelle Nye-Browne said: "It's really about making sure we save it for future generations and it's in good condition so that it's a useable building.
"As the repairs were being carried out we discovered embedded steelwork was rusting and it, the tower, was destroying itself."
About £170,000 of the funding was provided by Historic England.
Claire Fidler, heritage-at-risk project officer for Historic England said: "We are pleased we were able to step in and offer timely advice and grant aid, ensuring it survives for another 100 years in its unique spot on the cliff edge."
Mr Miliband told MPs it was an issue that transcended political divides.
He said there was increasing recognition that inequality gaps were bad for everybody, not just the poor.
The Doncaster North MP also reflected on Labour's election defeat, saying the party had some "hard and painful thinking" to about about why it lost.
Mr Miliband quit as leader after Labour's disappointing performance at the general election.
Speaking from the backbenches for the first time in nine years, he told MPs he was "deeply disappointed" by the result, "for which I take full responsibility".
Congratulating David Cameron on his electoral victory, Mr Miliband said "how he seeks to use the mandate will really define his legacy".
He told MPs he welcomed the PM's commitment to "govern for one nation".
But he questioned whether the rhetoric was compatible with plans for £12bn of welfare cuts and a country where "a million people go to food banks".
Inequality, low pay and a compassionate social security system were the three tests "appropriate for a government claiming the mantle of 'one nation'", he said.
He had been welcomed to the Commons by Chancellor George Osborne, who said his appearance so soon after the election defeat would earn him the respect of the whole House of Commons.
Whatever their differences during the election, Mr Osborne said, Mr Miliband's integrity or the sincerity of his convictions was never in doubt.
The former Labour leader was listened to in respectful silence as he delivered he speech, which came during a debate on the economic aspects of the Queen's Speech.
"A huge question facing all Western democracies... is whether we're comfortable with the huge disparities that exist, whether we are fated to have them and whether we want to even try to confront them," Mr Miliband said.
"Personally I believe we will have to, and I think this an issue for right and left.
"The old idea was that inequality was necessary for economic growth but we now know that the deep structural challenges of our economy, of low productivity, are bound up with high inequality, in my view," he added.
The ex-Labour leader cautioned that there would be no "easy solutions" to eradicating inequality in Britain.
But he said progress could be made by tackling insecure work and in-work poverty, something he described as "the modern scourge of our time".
"It should be a basic principle that if you go out to work you shouldn't be living in poverty, but we are so far from that in Britain today," he said.
Mr Miliband emphasised the need for a "progressive" tax system and a "compassionate social security system".
At the start of his speech, Mr Miliband joked that he had been brought down to earth after his election defeat by something his six-year-old son has said to him.
He recalled how his eldest turned to him to reassure him the family would be OK if there was a house fire, as the fire brigade would know who he was because "you used to be famous".
The individual suffered a needle-stick injury while treating a patient in the West African country, which is among those affected by the Ebola outbreak.
The person has been admitted to the Royal Free Hospital in north London, Public Health England (PHE) said.
More than 22,000 people have been infected with Ebola and 8,795 have died in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.
The individual, who is being treated in isolation, does not have symptoms but is likely to have been exposed to the virus, the Royal Free said.
The patient arrived back in the UK on Saturday on board an RAF flight and will be monitored for the remainder of their 21-day incubation period.
Professor Paul Cosford, PHE's director for health protection, said: "Our thoughts are with this person, who has been courageous in helping those affected in West Africa, and in preventing the wider spread of Ebola.
"We have strict, well-tested protocols in place for this eventuality and we are confident that all appropriate actions have been taken to support the healthcare worker concerned and to protect the health of other people."
Needle-stick injuries involve a piercing of the skin by a sharp instrument or object, typically a needle.
Jonathan Ball, a professor of molecular virology at the University of Nottingham, said such injuries were "one of the most dangerous risks for infection" as the virus could be delivered directly into the bloodstream.
"Careful monitoring and Ebola virus testing will determine if the person has been exposed and infected," he added.
The Royal Free is home to a specialist unit for infectious diseases patients.
Two other Britons who contracted the virus - nurses Pauline Cafferkey and Will Pooley - have been successfully treated there, both of whom had worked in West Africa.
Ms Cafferkey was discharged last week. She said she was now looking forward to returning to "normal life" and had no current plans to return to West Africa.
She was treated with blood plasma from an Ebola survivor and an experimental treatment drug closely related to ZMapp, which Mr Pooley was treated with after he contracted Ebola.
Up until 5 January the Imported Fever Service (IFS) - which is a specialist diagnostic service for medical professionals managing travellers who have returned to the UK with fever - said it had received 258 calls regarding Ebola, and 148 tests had been carried out, with only two confirmed cases of the virus.
Deadly clashes erupted in Mosul on 6 June, when militants from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), an al-Qaeda breakaway, launched an assault on the northern city with allied Sunni Arab tribesmen.
On Monday, the governor of Nineveh province urged residents to "stand firm". But within hours, Atheel al-Nujaifi was forced to flee before the provincial government's headquarters was overrun by hundreds of men armed with rocket-propelled grenades, sniper rifles and machine-guns.
By Tuesday, tens of thousands of residents had left for the nearby Kurdish-controlled region as the militants seized Mosul's airport, army operations centre and other installations. They also set fire to police stations and freed hundreds of detainees. Police and soldiers dropped their weapons and abandoned their posts as the assault became a rout.
Convoys of militants moved southwards on Wednesday, first attacking the town of Baiji and then reportedly overrunning Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, the administrative capital of Salahuddin province.

Mosul is the second city to fall to ISIS this year, after Falluja. However, its loss is much more serious for the government, as it is the main city of northern Iraq and a major political and economic centre, with a population of 1.8 million. It is also a gateway to Syria and Turkey.
After the US-led invasion in 2003, Mosul became a bastion of resistance to the occupation, which its Sunni Arab majority opposed and Kurdish minority supported. Years of bombings and shootings by militants linked to al-Qaeda led to an exodus of thousands of people.
It was not until 2009 that a semblance of normality returned to Mosul, but jihadists maintained a firm hold. Sectarian violence increased after US troops withdrew in 2011. It has surged since early 2013 when Shia Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's government launched an offensive against ISIS while also moving against Sunni opposition figures and protesters.
Analysis: How to recover Iraq's second city
Paragliding in Mosul, a way to shake off recent past
The prime minister has pressed parliament to declare a 30-day state of emergency that would give security forces the "necessary powers" to regain control.
A vote will be held on Thursday. Mr Maliki also said citizens would be armed to fight the militants.
The sudden collapse of the security forces in Mosul alarmed the US. It called on the Iraqi government to "step up to the plate", warning that ISIS was "a threat to the entire region". It pledged to help Baghdad "push back this aggression".
The Iraqi government is believed to have about 930,000 security personnel under its command, so on paper they ought to be able to easily overcome the hundreds of militants who attacked Mosul.
However, the same might have been said in late December after ISIS militants and allied tribesmen seized parts of Ramadi, the capital of the western province of Anbar, and most of the nearby city of Falluja amid clashes triggered by the clearance of two protest camps.
Mr Maliki has vowed to crush the militants, but they are still in control six months on, holding off troops. The UN says the fighting in Anbar has displaced some 480,000 people.
Soldiers have become disillusioned by the conflict against ISIS and brutal attacks by the group - including beheadings and crucifixions - leading many to desert. Commanders told the New York Times they were losing as many as 300 soldiers a day to desertions, deaths and injuries.

In 2009, then CIA Director Michael Hayden said al-Qaeda was "on the verge of a strategic defeat in Iraq". Today, its successor controls territories stretching for hundreds of miles through Nineveh, Anbar and into Syria, where it hopes to establish an Islamic state.
ISIS has gained strength and momentum from the situation in Syria, from where it has transferred recruits, sophisticated weapons and resources to fight in Iraq since 2012.
It has also skilfully exploited the political stand-off between the central government and the minority Sunni Arab community, which complains that Mr Maliki is monopolising power and targeting them by pursuing policies like the mass arrests in the name of fighting terrorism.
According to the UN, more than 8,860 people were killed in Iraq in 2013 - the highest number of deaths since the peak of the sectarian insurgency between 2006 and 2008. So far this year, more than 4,700 have died.

President Vladimir Putin argues that the criminal inquiry is aimed at ousting long-time Fifa president Sepp Blatter from his post.
He sees it as punishment for continuing to support Russia as host for the 2018 World Cup.
There have been increasing calls to strip Moscow of that privilege, in protest at military action in Ukraine.
"We know the pressure that was exerted on him [Blatter] with the aim of banning the 2018 World Cup in Russia," Mr Putin said on Thursday, offering Fifa's embattled leader his firm backing.
He then accused the United States of mounting a campaign to "persecute" Sepp Blatter for resisting.
"I have no doubt about it at all. It is a clear attempt to prevent the re-election of Mr Blatter," Mr Putin said, speaking about the criminal investigation.
The comments fit a general trend here for vilifying the US, and demonstrate a conviction that consideration of Russia dominates global decision-making.
But Vladimir Putin's tirade also hints at genuine concern over the tournament's future.
This week, two prominent US senators urged Fifa against re-electing Mr Blatter as its head, because he continued to back Russia's right to stage the World Cup.
Acting as host was a privilege and a boost for Vladimir Putin "at a time when his actions should be condemned," John McCain and Robert Menendez argued.
Those actions include last year's annexation of Crimea and ongoing Russian support for rebel fighters in eastern Ukraine.
Moscow denies sending troops and weapons across the border, despite mounting evidence to the contrary.
A previous appeal asked Fifa to ban Russia from hosting the international event, but Mr Blatter has vowed repeatedly that politics would not "get in the way" of football.
No Russians have been arrested in the US-led corruption inquiry, but Swiss prosecutors have also revealed that they are conducting a parallel probe into allegations of fraud during the World Cup bidding process for Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022.
The results of a previous internal inquiry were never made public.
"Our bidding campaign was held honestly. Russia is not mixed up in corruption, everything is fair for our part," Russia's Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko assured reporters in Zurich, even as prosecutors sifted through documents seized from Fifa.
He insisted that the World Cup here is not in doubt and that the Russian organising committee had pledged to co-operate fully with the inquiry.
The decision to award the tournament to Russia is a matter of pride for many and preparations are well under way. But Muscovites are nervous.
"Of course I think it's politically motivated. I hope they can settle this," one woman told the BBC.
"A lot of money has already been spent."
That is a key concern: Russia has already cut its budget and scaled back plans, as its economy suffers the twin blows of a depressed oil price and sanctions over Ukraine.
"My understanding is that this is just another form of pressure on Russia," another man commented on the Swiss investigation.
"But the decision has been made, so it has to happen now. If there was money involved, let them prove it."

The plaque has been mounted on gates in Tunstall Park, near the star's childhood home.
His parents Jan Williams and Pete Conway attended a special ceremony alongside Stoke-on-Trent's Lord Mayor, Sheila Pitt.
The unveiling is part of a series of events in the singer's home city to mark his 40th birthday.
The 23-year-old former FC Basel and Hoffenheim midfielder has joined the Royals on a free transfer after leaving Swiss top-flight side FC Thun.
Wieser played with current Reading player Danny Williams at Hoffenheim.
In 2015, Swiss state prosecutors fined Wieser for a tackle on an opponent in a Swiss league game, ruling the challenge "was negligent and an assault".
Wieser later apologised for the tackle while playing for Aarau against FC Zurich which left Gilles Yapi-Yapo with extensive knee injuries.
He was also banned for six matches by the Swiss league for the challenge.

The claim: The cost of Christmas dinner this year will either be the cheapest ever or 14% up on last year.
Reality Check verdict: The two pieces of research look into the cost of buying different things at different shops so it is no great surprise that they get different answers.
The Reality Check team was asked to investigate which is true.
The first headline came from research by Good Housekeeping, and the first thing to stress is that when it says it will be the cheapest Christmas dinner to date, that means since it started doing the calculation in 2009.
The headline figure was that you could feed Christmas dinner to eight people for £19.84, or £2.48 a head, but that involves buying your 11 essential ingredients from four different shops.
It's that figure that is the lowest since the research started.
The 11 items are:
If you buy them all from just one shop, then the cheapest you can manage is £22.03 at Aldi, followed by £24.57 at Lidl.
The cheapest of the big supermarkets was Tesco at £28.08, with the highest price for the basket being £49.40 at Marks and Spencer.
Of the comparable supermarkets that they also looked at in 2010, Asda, Morrisons and M&S are more expensive now, Co-op has barely changed and Tesco, Lidl and Sainsbury's are cheaper.
There is a huge range of prices, and you would have to go to a great deal of trouble to get the sub-£20 dinner.
The second headline comes from BBC research using figures from mySupermarket.
It's based on making Christmas dinner for six instead of eight, and the basket of goods is different.
There's no brandy butter, mince pies or Christmas cake, but you do get gravy, red and white wine and a box of crackers.
This research is into what a typical shopper will pay, so it concentrates on the big supermarkets where most people shop, such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons, rather than the discounters Aldi and Lidl.
It also uses averages across types of products, rather than necessarily looking for the cheapest.
It means that the typical cost of Christmas dinner comes in at £10.71 per person, up from £9.41 last year.
That's a huge difference from the £2.48 a head in the Good Housekeeping version, which wouldn't even pay for the £25 turkey in the BBC research.
Just the wine and crackers add £3.68 a head, and they are among the products that have gone up in price the most.
These are by no means the only pieces of research we've had about the cost of Christmas.
The cost of Christmas past widget claims to offer comparable figures for Christmas expenses going back to 1968, including purchases such as a 6ft Christmas tree and best-selling toys.
But the items in the Christmas dinner, not all of which are traditional festive ingredients, are:
The selection may have more to do with which items are in the Office for National Statistics' inflation basket of goods going back to 1968.
Taking a broader look at prices, the British Retail Consortium says food prices were 0.8% lower in November than they had been a year earlier, claiming that overall the cost of the Christmas shop is lower now than it was three years ago.
So food in general is slightly cheaper - what you end up paying for Christmas dinner will depend on how you shop and how much time you have to do it.

The blasts occurred in Bujumbura's central business district, and reports suggest at least four people were injured.
Burundi has been in crisis since April 2015 when President Pierre Nkurunziza ran for a controversial third term.
This led to ongoing violence and fears that Burundi is sliding into ethnic conflict.
The BBC's Prime Ndikumagenge, in the capital, says the latest attacks are unusual because they occurred in daylight, and in the centre of the city, whereas most violence happens at night.
Two grenades were hurled around midday, near the central post office and a building hosting a mobile phone operator, injuring four people.
The third grenade was detonated at a bus station south of the capital, behind what used to be the central market, our correspondent says.
At least 439 people have died and 240,000 have fled abroad since last April, the UN says.
Last month, human rights group Amnesty International published satellite images it said were believed to be five mass graves near Burundi's capital, where security forces were accused of killing scores of people in December.
A fact-finding mission by the AU has reported arbitrary killings, torture and the "closure of some civil society organisations and the media".

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India accused Nestle of failing to comply with food safety laws.
Nestle withdrew the Maggi brand from stores, after regulators found higher-than-allowed levels of lead in some packets.
But the company insists the noodles are safe.
Maggi is the market leader in India, where a packet costs 12 rupees (12p).
Nestle's global chief executive promised to return Maggi to store shelves.
Paul Bulcke told reporters in New Delhi: "I am confident that we are going to come back very soon."
Mr Bulcke also asked to see the results of the laboratory tests.
Several states have also been testing the noodles for the chemical monosodium glutamate, widely known as MSG.
In its complaint, India's food safety regulator said that packets of "Maggi Oats Masala Noodles with Tastemaker" were misleadingly labelled with "No added MSG".
Nestle said in a statement on Friday that Maggi noodles are completely safe.
But "recent developments and unfounded concerns about the product have led to an environment of confusion for the consumer", it said.
The firm said the confusion had developed to such an extent "that we have decided to withdraw the product off the shelves, despite the product being safe", but promised the noodles would return to the market as soon as the current problem was dealt with.
Maggi noodles had already been banned for 15 days in India's capital, Delhi, and states including Gujarat. However, other states had deemed them safe.
The BBC's India correspondent, Sanjoy Majumder, reports that Maggi noodles are ubiquitous throughout the country, popular with adults and children.
The noodles have been a market leader for the past 30 years.
Pulling the product from store shelves could present a massive logistical challenge.
Safety concerns about the product continued to spread on Friday, with Singapore's food safety authority saying it had taken samples of Maggi's instant noodles made in India for safety tests.
"[We have] advised affected importers to withhold sale until our tests are complete," a spokesperson from the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore said in a statement.
Analysis: By Simon Atkinson, BBC News, Mumbai
They say that Maggi noodles take two minutes to cook - and - in India - never more than two minutes to find.
They're in every grocery shop - and whether travelling in the backwaters of Kerala, the deserts of Rajasthan, or the northern wilds of Ladakh, you'll find them on the menu at pretty much every roadside cafe.
Maggi have been called "the third staple" alongside rice and lentils - and are one of the country's best known and valuable brands.
So that vast market penetration makes me wonder logistically just how instant this withdrawal is going to be.
The earlier ban of Maggi noodles in Delhi received prominent coverage in the media and on social media platforms.
The ban sparked humour as well as public health concerns on social media platforms like Twitter.
Several hashtags like #Maggi, #Maggiban, #Maggiinasoup, #MaggiKeSideEffects have trended in the past few days.
Some took to Twitter to give their "humorous take" on the ban.
Memes make light of India Maggi ban
How Maggi became an Indian icon
The instant noodles arrived in India in 1983 and can be found in corner shops across the country.
Nestle's relationship with India dates back to 1912, when it launched in the country as The Nestle Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company (Export).
The initiative is aimed at improving the public image of a force with a reputation for corruption and abuse.
Inspectors have been monitoring officers on duty to identify the worst offenders, state media said.
Several countries have taken action on overweight police in recent years as global obesity rates soar.
"Little officers or those with too big a belly will be moved to work in offices so they do not come into contact with the public," Hanoi traffic police chief Col Dao Vinh Tang said.
Overweight police officers will be required to undergo regular physical training.
In addition, all police on duty will be required to carry an official code of conduct to remind them how to behave, official newspaper Tien Phong reported.
It is the latest step taken to try to improve the image of Hanoi's traffic police force, which has faced frequent complaints as it manages the city's hectic flow of vehicles.
In 2011 officers were banned from wearing sunglasses or hiding behind trees to ambush unwary motorists and extract fines.
And in January, specially trained women police officers were deployed at key junctions to win over the public.
A World Bank survey of perceived corruption in Vietnam last year ranked traffic police as the worst offenders.
In recent years countries including the UK, Mexico and South Africa have introduced measures to help police officers lose weight, as expanding waistlines and reduced fitness hamper the fight against crime.
The man, Yang Teng, said a Beijing court had decreed that the Xinyu Piaoxiang clinic would have to pay him 3,500 yuan ($560; £400).
The decision has been hailed as a legal milestone by gay rights bodies.
Homosexuality has not been classified as a mental illness in China since 2001 but anti-gay prejudice remains common.
Mr Yang said the procedure involved him being told to have sexual thoughts about men at the same time as receiving electric shocks.
He said that there were also attempts at hypnosis and that the procedures harmed him both mentally and physically.
Mr Yang, also known as Xiao Zhen, told reporters he had agreed to the therapy following pressure from his parents.
However, he previously told the BBC that he underwent the treatment in order to gather evidence for the court case.
"I'm going to take this verdict and show it to my parents so they can see a Chinese court said homosexuality isn't a mental illness," Mr Yang told AFP.
"Someone needs to step up because we must stop such severe transgressions," he added.
The court did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the media. However, Mr Yang and his lawyer have briefed several journalists.
The amount awarded by the court did not cover damages for Mr Yang, but did reimburse his "treatment" costs, reports said.
Analysts suggest that attitudes towards homosexuality in China have been slow to evolve because of the one-child-policy as well as heavy societal pressure on young people to get married and produce a family heir.
Correspondents say attitudes are changing however, with an annual gay pride event taking place in Shanghai.
In Indonesia, a Wetlands International project uses permeable dams to restore sediment needed for the trees to grow.
The charity says early results suggest "ecological restoration" is more effective than planting programmes.
More than half of the world's most at-risk habitats have been felled or lost over the past century, UN data shows.
Mangroves are a group of about 80 different salt-tolerant species of trees that are able to live along the intertidal zones of coastlines in tropical and sub-tropical regions.
The characteristic root systems of these trees allow them to withstand the ebb and flow of daily tides. The roots also act as buffers, slowing the flow of the tidal waters, allowing sediment to settle and build up as nutrient-rich mud.
The unique habitats provide valuable shelter and breeding sites for fish, as well as stabilising coastlines, reducing erosion from storm surges and tsunamis.
A report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) shortly after the 2004 Asia tsunami, which killed more than 200,000 people in nations lining the Indian Ocean, highlighted how in-tact mangrove forests provided protection to coastal communities.
It reported that two people were killed in a Sri Lankan village with dense mangrove and scrub forest, but up to 6,000 people lost their lives in a settlement that was no longer protected by similar vegetation.
Following the 2004 tsunami, the importance of robust and resilient mangrove forests became widely recognised, explained Femke Tonneijck, Wetlands International's programme manager for coastal wetlands.
"This resulted in many mangrove restoration efforts around the world, many of which were implemented through planting programmes by NGOs, governments and business," she said.
"Now we are seeing that many of those planting efforts are failing, and there are a number of reasons for this.
"One of the most important reasons is that there is a wrong species-to-site match because mangroves have a natural [gradient] from land to sea, in which there is a mix of species that are best adapted to the level of salinity, wave exposure and submergence.
"This is why we now focus more on ecological mangrove restoration," Ms Tonneijck told BBC News.
She said researchers had been carrying out a series of studies on this approach to conservation and it had been shown to deliver "much better results".
"This is because if you have a mix of natural species, ages and root types, as well as different types of fruit, fodder and timber, the diversity makes the system more resilient, as well as a forest that offers multiple benefits to a diverse group of stakeholders, as there are different species of fish taking shelter in the different root systems," she added.
However, planting programmes still remained popular because many schemes, often government-funded, measured success on the number of trees planted rather than the longer term survival rate.
"Also, there is no measurement of ecosystem services returning, such as coastal protection, and this may give people a false sense of protection," Ms Tonneijck warned.
In 2011, Wetlands International was invited to undertake a ecological mangrove restoration project in Central Java by the Indonesian government's marine and fisheries department.
Two villages in the area had been lost and the sea was encroaching inland up to three kilometres, destroying arable land.
Ms Tonneijck explained how the team restored the conditions needed for the mangrove to return to landscape.
"Working with the Dutch Knowledge Institute, we were inspired by Dutch and German marshes where land was regained by putting permeable dams in place," she recalled.
"These permeable structures let waves pass through with sediment and behind the structures the sediment can settle. Once it had settled then the mangroves were able to come back into the area.
"We started first with a small pilot, and as the sediment trapping worked really well, we decided to set up a larger project that was supported by Dutch funds and the Indonesian government as well."
Wetland International's Building with Nature programme is now looking at restoring the "mangrove greenbelt" throughout the district.
"In the area where it is eroding, we are applying these permeable dams and we have already placed two kilometres of them," Ms Tonneijck revealed.
"As well as the mangroves slowly coming back in, we are also seeing that people are becoming very enthusiastic and they really want to do something - people immediately want to start planting as soon as there is sedimentation.
"So we have started a dialogue explaining why we are preferring to wait for nature to come back."

Arsenal bid around £20m for the England striker with reports the League One club could pocket £6.8m if he moves.
He left Fleetwood for Leicester in May 2012 for a fee in the region of £1m.
"It's a drop in the ocean to be honest. People think it's life-changing and we'll go on a spending spree - they're very wrong," Pilley said.
He told BBC Radio 5 live Daily: "Football is an expensive business, and this is just petrol that will go in the tank.
"Financially it'd be a boost, it's not the be all and end all.
"This is football-fortune money. It's not something we've banked on, it's not in the budget, it's useful but it won't go half the way towards paying for the new training ground we have created for example.
"It's not going to be the difference between Fleetwood Town existing or not existing. It'll be gratefully received if it happens, but what will be will be."
After spells with Stocksbridge Park Steels in his home city of Sheffield, FC Halifax Town and Fleetwood in non-league football, Vardy, 29, made a smooth transition into the Football League.
The forward helped Leicester to the Championship title in 2014 and netted 24 in 36 games last season, as Claudio Ranieri's side lifted the Premier League crown.
He also has three goals in eight England appearances and is in the squad for Euro 2016.
"We insisted on a sell-on clause, we knew Jamie had a chance of playing in the Premier League and doing really, really well," Pilley added.
"It's not an unusual clause, and the way the clauses work is it rewards the smaller club.
"If Jamie does move onto Arsenal, FC Halifax Town who we bought him from, will benefit significantly. That's the way it works, it filters down to the smaller clubs and it's a good way to sort your contracts.
"The knock on effect is the feel-good factor is felt by everybody involved."
Shane White's 68th-minute penalty in front of 1,450 fans saw City return to the Conference South after two seasons.
The club almost in December 2012 before being taken over.
"We are the best team in the play-offs and sometimes you don't get what you deserve, but I'm delighted that we have," said manager Steve Tully.
Tully, who is in his first role as a manager,
After a shaky start where the club lost eight league games in the first three months of the season, he built what proved to be the strongest side in the division.
Since the start of November they have lost just four league games and ended the season in third place in the Southern Premier League.
"From the day we came in we said we wanted to organise, have a strong team, strong unit, and the way the club has bought into what we've wanted is a great thing," Tully told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"I'm delighted for the chairman, he's done a great job and we're really pleased that he's backed us whatever we've done.
"You can't have a greater chairman. I know I'm biased because he's the first chairman I've ever had, but whatever I've asked for he's always said 'yes' and you don't get many like that."
Chairman Peter Masters took over along with Philip Perryman after former owner Kevin Heaney was declared bankrupt and the club faced a winding-up petition.
"If it wasn't for the chairman there wouldn't be a Truro City Football Club, so for what he's done for the club, its great for the town and I'm delighted," Tully added.
They will compete for the 108 seats across 18 constituencies on 5 May.
The figure is up on the same election five years ago, when 218 candidates were in the race.
The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is fielding the most candidates, with 44, while Sinn Féin will run 39.
The Ulster Unionist Party has 33 candidates, the Social Democratic and Labour Party will run 24 and the Alliance Party has 23 runners.
Eighteen candidates will run for the Green Party, while the Traditional Unionist Voice has 15.
The UK Independence Party will stand 13 candidates and the Conservative Party will run 12.
The number of women candidates contesting the election has doubled from 38 in 2011 to 76 this year.
That is up from just over 17% of the overall number of candidates to more than 27%.
The seats with the most competition are East Belfast, South Belfast, North Belfast and West Tyrone.
Eighteen candidates are vying for the six MLA posts available in those constituencies.
The seats that have attracted the least interest from would-be MLAs are West Belfast, Mid Ulster and South Down, all of which are being contested by just 12 candidates.
Nominations for candidates closed on Tuesday afternoon.
The BBC will be providing coverage of the election across the BBC News NI website, television and radio.

The advertisement is a mixture of suave Bond "cool" mixed with the kind of superhuman action one generally associates with south Indian films, where heroes are known to take out entire gangs by just looking at them.
Armed with nothing but a bottle of Pan Bahar mouth freshener, Brosnan proceeds to take down an entire cartel, pausing once every so often to kiss the jar in his hand. The 60-second advertisement is nothing short of a mini film. It features hired thugs, a party, a woman who is actually a spy, and of course a face to face encounter with a dastardly villain.
But the reaction in India has been anything but positive.
Many have associated Pan Bahar with pan masala and gutka, a potent mixture of tobacco, crushed betel nut, lime, and clove among other ingredients. It is chewed (and subsequently expectorated in bright red streams) by millions of people, who get addicted to its mildly psychotropic effects.
Both pan masala and gutka have often been described as the scourge of the South Asian subcontinent, as it has been linked to serious illness like mouth cancer and tumours.
Many Indian states have, in fact, banned the open sale of the products and have run a series of campaigns designed to discourage people from buying them.
And although the product Brosnan is endorsing is neither a pan masala or gutka, the reactions have ranged from anger to disappointment.
However, Ashok & co, the company that produces Pan Bahar, told the BBC that the public outrage is the result of "public misconception".
"We are the oldest brand of mouth freshener in India and we don't produce either gutka or pan masala. But after the 1990s when gutka flooded the market, all mouth freshener products also got a bad name," a spokesman for the company said.
"We are trying to change that perception and this is a first step."
The spokesman added that the company had thought Brosnan was "perfect" to endorse their product because he was "suave, cool and a master-blender" - all qualities they want people to associate with Pan Bahar.
The reactions indicate that they have an uphill task ahead of them.
He was warned over his conduct by the British Boxing Board of Control after a meeting on Tuesday.
Fury, 27, apologised after making comments about women and gay people.
Almost 140,000 people signed a petition calling for Fury to be removed from the BBC Sports Personality of the Year shortlist before December's event.
The Manchester fighter, who outpointed Wladimir Klitschko to become heavyweight champion in November, caused controversy with derogatory remarks about women and for criticising homosexuality and abortion.
A BBBC statement said Fury's comments had "caused offence" but that he had not broken the law by "exercising his right to freedom of expression" and it could not "interfere with his basic human rights".
However, it added that Fury had been made aware that as world heavyweight champion there are "heavy responsibilities upon him to avoid making controversial, non-boxing comments".
The statement added: "He has assured the stewards that he understands the responsibilities upon him and has expressed regret that he has caused offence to others, which was never his intention."
A rematch between Klitschko, 39, and Fury will take place this summer.
Armed officers clashed with supporters of the main opposition party, who tried to prevent the arrest of their leader Albin Kurti, in the capital Pristina.
Mr Kurti has led a series of protests in parliament against agreements made with Serbia.
Opposition MPs have paralysed the work of parliament for weeks.
Prosecutors said in a statement that police had acted upon their order as Mr Kurti was suspected of committing three offences, including "endangering public order and the illegal use of weapons."
Mr Kurti, a former leader of the Self-Determination Party, has repeatedly released tear gas, and once pepper spray, in parliament to disrupt proceedings.
He has spearheaded opposition to a deal with Serbia, mediated by the EU in August, that gives greater autonomy to Kosovo's ethnic Serb minority.
The deal with Serbia is now before Kosovo's constitutional court.
The opposition also objects to a border demarcation deal with Montenegro that it says hands Kosovan territory to its neighbour.
Kosovo, which has an ethnic Albanian majority, declared independence from Serbia in 2008 but has never been recognised by the Belgrade government.
The split came a decade after a conflict between Serb forces and Kosovan Albanian rebels. A Nato bombing campaign against Belgrade in effect forced Serbia to cede the state.

The likes of chairman Jonathan Browning, who in March apologised for the governing body's "failings", will have to reapply for his role.
An investigation into the culture at British Cycling was launched last year following accusations of bullying and sexism against top-level cyclists.
The EGM is scheduled for 22 July.
The other major change that will be voted on is the introduction of a limit for directors of three three-year terms, which would mean six of the eight elected members on the current board would then have to stand down.
A long-awaited report by Annamarie Phelps - the chair of British Rowing - will be published next week following the investigation.
In March, former sprinter Jess Varnish told BBC Sport that the entire British Cycling board should resign after a leaked interim report concluded the findings of an internal review into her claims of bullying had been "reversed".
The governing body was accused of watering down the findings of an earlier internal review in 2012 by Liz Nicholl, the chief executive of UK Sport.
Sport England has allocated £17m to British Cycling to boost participation and UK Sport has said it will provide £26m for the GB Olympic and Paralympic teams' preparations for Tokyo 2020.
But British Cycling has been warned by Sport England it needs to do more to ease "concerns" over the way it is run if it is to receive the funding.
Both sums depend on complying with sports minister Tracey Crouch's new governance code, which comes into play in November.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan
Amid a period of unprecedented crisis, British Cycling has already undergone huge change, with a new chief executive and performance director, along with the introduction of a 39-point 'action plan'.
But the turbulence is far from over. After just a few months in charge, it is uncertain whether Jonathan Browning will choose to re-apply to continue as an independent chairman. Given the intense criticism the governing body has faced, it would be no surprise if the highly-regarded former motor executive walked away from his unpaid role.
Meanwhile, the entire board will be replaced if these governance reforms are approved. Despite British Cycling's reputation for elite performance and participation success, after so many damaging allegations surrounding its athlete welfare and anti-doping standards, many will welcome such an overhaul.
However, some of British Cycling's grassroots council members are unhappy that much of their power will be transferred to the new board, and believe their organisation is being pushed around by UK Sport and Sport England. There could be opposition to the proposed changes at November's EGM.

Baby and adult ashes were mixed together at Hazlehead and given back to relatives of the adult.
The parents of the infants were told there were no ashes.
A working group established to devise plans for a memorial for those affected has agreed that a memorial garden at Hazlehead Park should be created.
It would contain a statue and seating, with planting designed to add colour and attract birds and butterflies.
More detailed plans will now be drawn up.
Aberdeen City Council is processing more than 200 claims for compensation relating to the baby ashes scandal.
BBC Scotland revealed in 2013 that no ashes had been offered to the families of infants cremated in Aberdeen over a five-year period.
The extension to the property was constructed after the 21-month-old from Sheffield went missing in 1991.

Det Insp Jon Cousins, said he was negotiating with the family who own the farmhouse.
"There is reason for me to consider removing a small part of this farmhouse in order that I can be sure that I have not missed any opportunity to find the answers that I need to," he said.
A photograph from 1991 showed part of the building did not exist when Ben went missing, he added.
A team of 19 South Yorkshire Police officers, forensic specialists and an archaeologist are excavating the farmland where Ben was last seen playing 25 years ago.
They are being assisted by members of the Hellenic Rescue Team and Red Cross.
The search, in its eighth day, was prompted by information given to police following a television appeal in May.
A friend of a digger driver, who had been clearing land with an excavator on the day the toddler went missing, told police the man may have been responsible for Ben's death.
The driver died of cancer in 2015.

Can they maintain order, keep things civil and cajole candidates into giving meaningful answers amid the maelstrom of insults, interruptions and waffle?
Here's how the moderators at the three debates - all vastly experienced TV hosts - fared.
Mr Wallace has been hailed as the real winner in the third and final debate.
The Fox News journalist was praised for an even-handed approach and not letting either candidate digress too wildly.
There was humour too - in one exchange he admonished Republican candidate Donald Trump: "I'm not a potted plant here. I do get to ask questions."
Mr Wallace asked tough questions about a new Supreme Court appointee and abortion - and he secured the debate's eventual headline when he pushed Mr Trump on his claim the election was being "rigged" against him.
"There is a tradition in this country, in fact one of the prides of this country, that is the peaceful transition of power and that no matter how hard fought a campaign is, at the end of the campaign the loser concedes to the winner and the country comes together, in part for the good of the country," he said.
"Are you prepared now to commit to that principle?"
Mr Trump refused. But the Republican, who had accused previous moderators of bias, reportedly congratulated Mr Wallace afterwards, telling him he had done a "great job".
Verdict: Pick of the bunch
This debate had a Town Hall format - where the audience got to ask questions - and two moderators to keep the candidates in check.
It took place shortly after Mr Trump was revealed to have made obscene comments about women in a 2005 video, and he was agitated and defensive throughout.
Mr Cooper and Ms Raddatz asked him directly if he had ever sexually assaulted a woman - but they also grilled Hillary Clinton about her use of a private email server while Secretary of State.
The pair were aggressive in shutting down interruptions and "tightened the reins" when necessary, said Politico.
But Mr Trump hated it. He complained about the time he was given, criticised the questions and grumbled about the contest being "three-on-one".
His supporters also weighed in online, accusing them of getting in the way.
Verdict: A tight grip, but little flair
Things were tricky for Mr Holt even before the first debate kicked off.
There was already a row simmering over how much fact-checking moderators should do when interviewing.
Mr Trump had also accused Mr Holt of being a Democrat, although his voting record later showed otherwise.
And because it was the first debate ,he had no idea how the candidates would react to each other.
Despite that, when it came to the crunch most observers felt he withdrew from of the fray.
Mr Trump in particular was repeatedly allowed to talk over Mrs Clinton, interrupting her more than 50 times according to one count.
Mr Holt was "almost invisible" said Fortune Magazine.
Of 5m tweets about the debate, 444,000 were about him, many far from complimentary.
Afterwards Mr Trump appeared to hesitate before shaking his hand and later tweeted that he was unhappy at the choice of questions.
Verdict: Thrown in at the deep end, but weak

But sci-fi has a long history of becoming science fact, as outlandish creations inspire real research.
Tractor beams
In Star Wars, the unfortunate heroes are caught in a "tractor beam" that freezes their ship and pulls them towards the enemy. Star Trek has a similar weapon.
An Australian university can do the same thing - although its experiments with lasers could only manage to move a tiny object (one fifth of a millimetre) along about 20cm.
British researchers, meanwhile, have been experimenting with sound waves to shift objects through the air - and can just about manage objects the size of a pea at about 40cm away.
The moon landing
In 1865, Jules Verne published the outlandish novel From the Earth to the Moon, in which three Americans are fired into space in a gun. In his story, the three men launch a lunar vessel called Columbiad, weighing a little under 20,000 lbs, at a cost of $5.5m.
A century later, America did send three men to the moon - in the command module Columbia, which weighed 26,300 lbs, at a cost of $16bn.
To cap it all off, Verne's estimate of $5.5m was equivalent to about $13bn in 1969.
No more needles - the hypospray
In the world of Star Trek (which also predicted flip phones), any ill character is almost miraculously healed by an "injection" from a hypospray - a device with no needles that delivers the cure painlessly, through the skin.
That is a jet injector, and although famous from the TV show, actually predates it. Aaron Ismach invented the jet injector in 1960, six years before Star Trek. It was used for mass vaccinations - especially in the military - since it could be used over and over again. But that brought contamination risks, so it has fallen out of use.
However, the idea hasn't gone away. In 2012, MIT released an updated design for the "hypospray" which can be programmed for many uses, and inject drugs at the speed of sound, which they hope will eventually eliminate the need for needles.
Energy weapons
We're a long way from laser pistols, but a modern energy weapon is the US military's "active denial system", used for crowd control. The non-lethal weapon works like a microwave oven, and causes extreme discomfort as it heats the target's body underneath the skin - and causing the target to flee.
And the Taser personal defence weapon is actually an acronym for Thomas A Swift's Electric Rifle.
Nasa researcher Jack Cover, who created the device, named it after a 1911 book he read as a child, in which the eponymous hero invents a gun that fires bolts of lightning.
Wells and Asimov
Most remarkable of all, perhaps, is the eerie accuracy of a handful of science fiction writers in the 20th century.
HG Wells predicted automatic sliding doors in 1899, and the atomic bomb in his novel The World Set Free, written in 1913 and published the following year.
Isaac Asimov, however, made some startlingly accurate predictions about 2014, in an essay to mark the 1964 World's Fair,
They included global video calling, robots that would "neither be common nor very good in 2014", flatscreen TVs and early 3D and self-driving cars.
Such predictions suggest anything is possible. But there are still plenty of limits on what we can do. Some research, while reported on with incredible headlines, simply hasn't reached any practical application yet.
Invisibility 'cloak'
Whether you're a Harry Potter fan or a space traveller, "cloaking" is often used to refer to invisibility, bending light around an object to make it disappear.
This can actually be done for small objects - if you want to arrange a set of lenses in a precise arrangement, using the Rochester Cloak technique, it can be reproduced at home. But with its strict set up, it's just an optical trick.
Other "cloaking" attempts have been able to hide objects from microwaves or radar, but there's nothing yet that can fool the human eye in practical scenarios.
Power armour
From Iron Man to future dystopia, powered armour for soldiers has always been a staple in sci-fi. The US military is among those with an eye on the idea.
TALOS - that's a Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit - has often been described as an "Iron Man suit", but is far less exotic than the superhero's attire.
Instead, the US Army hoped to create a "smart" bodysuit, which monitors soldiers' vital signs, with a powered exoskeleton to increase strength.
The project is rumoured to use liquid armour which solidifies when hit by bullets - but very little is known about its progress.
Teleporters
The "transporter", a staple of sci-fi, is probably impossible. But that doesn't stop it making headlines.
In a process called quantum entanglement, a change made to one particle in lab conditions can affect another one, some distance away. It's a way to send information from one place to another, without it travelling in the space between, hence "quantum teleportation".
But the particles involved - qubits - are information only, and there's no evidence that it can be used for atoms, molecules and certainly not people - but it could lead to a futuristic internet.
Warp drive theory
In Star Trek and many other films and television shows, "warp drive" is a way to travel faster than light (which should be impossible) by bending space around a spacecraft.
The closest we have is called an "Alcubierre drive", after the mathematician who proposed it.
The idea is to shrink space in front of the ship and expand space behind it - so the ship itself never has to travel at light speed.
But it has so many practical problems it may never actually exist, and Nasa generally considers it impossible - despite the occasional piece of research on the topic.
External experts reviewed the deaths, which occurred at Royal Oldham Hospital and North Manchester General Hospital between January 2013 and July 2014.
They found a "notable absence of clinical leadership" resulting in a "failure to adequately plan care".
Pennine Acute NHS Trust apologised to the families of those who died.
A trust spokesman said he could not comment on whether any of the deaths resulted from failings, saying it was a "legal matter for the coroner".
The review, carried out by a senior midwife and an obstetrician outside the trust, found risk management during and before labour were "below standard, which may have contributed to the poor outcomes".
Three cases involved women medically classed as obese, with their needs "not managed in line with local and national guidance".
Twelve recommendations were made, including improving how serious incidents were dealt with and reviewing the process for employing locum doctors.
Three maternal deaths "did not appear to be the result of deficiencies in care".
The trust said it was investing more than £1m by recruiting 40 new healthcare assistants to support patients and midwives.
Thomas Beaty was one of seven babies who died. His parents earlier said they believed he would still be alive "if it were not for the actions of Royal Oldham Hospital".
He suffered severe head injuries after five attempts were made to deliver him using forceps.
National guidelines recommend no more than three attempts.
Gill Harris, chief nurse at the trust, said the incidents "should be seen in the context of approximately 10,000 births a year" at the hospitals.
She said: "The trust board today repeated sincere apologies to all of the families involved for the failings in care which had been identified. I have met with a number of the families and have reiterated the offer to meet with the remaining families, if they wish.
"The review of the incidents found that whilst the maternal deaths did not appear to be the result of deficiencies in care, further scrutiny and improvement was required from the review of the neonatal deaths."
The trust will now be twinned with the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as a "shared learning arrangement".
The Pope urged the refugees - forced to flee their homes by the militant group Islamic State - to "persevere", and said he was close to them in his heart.
At a Christmas Eve midnight Mass at St Peter's Basilica, the Pope called on believers to show more empathy towards family and friends.
On Christmas Day, the Pope will deliver his "Urbi et Orbi" Christmas address.
The call to refugees at a camp in Ankawa was made by satellite phone and broadcast live on Italian TV.
"Dear brothers, I am close to you, very close to you in my heart," he told them, saying he was thinking particularly of children and the elderly.
"Innocent children, children who have died, exploited children... I am thinking, too, about grandparents, about the older people who have lived their lives, and who must now bear this cross."
He told them they were like Jesus, forced to flee because there was no room for them. "I embrace you all and wish for you a holy Christmas," he said.
Advances in Iraq by Islamic State have forced tens of thousands of Christians and people from other religious minorities to flee to Kurdish controlled areas.
Later in his homily during Christmas Eve Mass, the Pope said the world needed more tenderness and warmth.
"The question put to us simply by the infant's presence is: 'Do I allow God to love me?'" he said.
"Do we have the courage to welcome with tenderness the difficulties and problems of those who are near to us?"
A dominant Barca had 74% possession and 21 shots in Belarus, where Luis Suarez and Neymar forced early saves.
Rakitic, who replaced the injured Sergi Roberto after 18 minutes, found the top corner from 20 yards after half-time.
Neymar made the opener and created Rakitic's coolly taken second with a slick pass.
Luis Enrique's side host BATE - crowned champions of Belarus for a 10th straight season at the weekend - in their next game on 4 November.
Any upset looks unlikely on this showing and the Catalan club's progress could be all but guaranteed by victory if Roma and Bayer Leverkusen draw on the same night.
Even without the injured Lionel Messi, Luis Enrique's side created a host of chances but goalkeeper Sergey Chernik kept them at bay until Rakitic scored his first club goal since last season's Champions League final.
Neymar, influential throughout, could not add to his tally of five goals in his past two games as he was denied by a series of blocks and Chernik's saves.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique: "This can be a turning point.
"We have been on a run where it has been difficult for us to score and we have suffered at the back with the little that we have been threatened.
"You always need to improve. It was not as though we were so bad but we needed to change.
"We have created a lot of chances to score but we continued with the same run we have had all season where we have not finished them off."

The 18-year-old woman was taken in a van from Sandown High Street and later assaulted in a car park in Niton on Friday morning, police said.
The man from East Cowes has also been charged with grievous bodily harm.
Hampshire Constabulary said he also faces three other charges for offences committed in September, relating to grooming and exploitation of children.
He is due before Newport magistrates on Monday.
Bromwich stood down as national captain after it was alleged in court he and Proctor bought the drug following Friday's defeat by Australia.
The World Cup runs from 27 October to 2 December.
"I can't express my disappointment enough in their actions," said New Zealand coach David Kidwell.
"We have values to uphold. They have broken my trust, their team-mates' trust and the trust of the New Zealand public.
"No-one is bigger than the team."
The decision to exclude the pair from the tournament, which will be held in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, was taken after NZRL management and senior players met to discuss possible sanctions.
Melbourne Storm prop Bromwich, 28, has also been suspended for two games by his club and ordered to have counselling and treatment courses.
Proctor, also 28, has stepped down as co-captain of Gold Coast Titans and will appear before a club board this week and will not play until a "final decision" has been reached.
The allegations against the pair emerged in a court case which heard that a local man was captured on CCTV preparing a white powder on his phone.
He then handed it to Bromwich and Proctor, who were said to have rolled up bank notes and taken the substance.
While both players were named in court, neither has been charged with an offence.
Murder accused Tanveer Ahmed, 32, from Bradford, said in a statement he killed 40-year-old Asad Shah as he had falsely claimed to be a prophet.
Mr Shah was an Ahmadiyya, a group known for its peaceful interfaith concerns.
Ahmadiyya Muslim leaders in Glasgow have now called for other Muslim leaders to condemn the statement.
In a statement issued on Wednesday through his lawyer, Mr Ahmed said: "Asad Shah disrespected the messenger of Islam the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Mr Shah claimed to be a Prophet."
He added: "If I had not done this others would and there would have been more killing and violence in the world."
Glasgow's Ahmadiyya Muslim leaders issued a statement in response stating Tanveer Ahmed had said that he killed Mr Shah because he 'disrespected' the Prophet of Islam.
The statement said: "This is deeply disturbing and sets an extremely dangerous precedent, as it justifies the killing of anyone - Muslim or non-Muslim - whom an extremist considers to have shown disrespect to Islam.
"In some countries Ahmadiyya Muslim members, Christians and people of other faiths are routinely attacked and murdered by extremists for accusations of blasphemy.
"Such killings are completely against the teachings of Islam.
"We must not let the same mindset of hate and violence take root here in Glasgow, and for that matter, the UK and anywhere in the world.
"The Ahmadiyya Muslim community urges the government and law enforcement agencies to take all possible measures to root out all forms of religious hatred, intolerance and sectarianism.
"If extremists are given a free hand, we will come to see the same levels of religious hatred and persecution here in the UK that we see in some Muslim countries.
"It is the firm belief of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community that all people should be able to peacefully practice their faith without fear of persecution or violence.
"We urge all religious bodies, especially Muslim leaders and Imams, to come out in public to condemn this statement made by Tanveer Ahmed, so that all Muslims know this is never acceptable in Islam.
"This will go a long way to help eliminate all extremists."
Mr Ahmed is accused of killing Mr Shah outside his shop in Glasgow's Shawlands area two weeks ago.
The shopkeeper, who had moved from Pakistan to Glasgow almost 20 years ago, was found with serious injuries outside his shop on Minard Road on 24 March. He was pronounced dead in hospital.
Mr Shah was killed just hours after he posted an Easter message on Facebook to his customers.
The message said: "Good Friday and a very happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nationx"
During the police investigation officers claimed the incident was "religiously prejudiced" and confirmed both men were Muslims.
Mr Ahmed has been charged with murder and made a second court appearance on Wednesday where he made no plea and was remanded in custody.
The delays are affecting blood delivery service Serv, whose managers have complained about a lack of information.
Alan Rogers, Serv Surrey controller, said bikers had been affected by the roadworks on the Coopers Hill Viaduct.
The Highways Agency said drivers should allow an extra 40 minutes for journeys, especially if heading for Gatwick.
In peak times about 4,500 vehicles an hour use the section of the M23 between junctions eight, which joins the M25, and nine, for the airport.
Night-time closures and a variable contraflow system, which started last month and will last until the end of November, have been causing tailbacks on both carriageways.
Mr Rogers said Serv's bikers collected blood at night from Tooting in south London for distribution to hospitals in Surrey.
They also meet riders on the A23 at Hooley to transfer blood for hospitals in Kent and Sussex.
"We don't know which parts of what roads are going to be closed on any particular night and that makes planning quite difficult," he said.
"The challenge is getting to the liaison with the Kent or Sussex guys for our pre-arranged rendezvous time."
Peter Phillips, Highways Agency manager for the M23, said: "If you are trying to get to Gatwick then please give yourself plenty of time or find yourself an alternative means of travel.
"There is a very good rail link but if you have got to come by car leave yourself plenty of time.
"Our website is the best source of information."
Separate roadworks to widen the A23 between Handcross and Warninglid in West Sussex are coming to an end.
The Highways Agency said a third lane would open to the public this week, with remaining resurfacing taking place at night.
A number of people have been left homeless after the fire overnight in a row of terraced houses.
The blaze at the properties in Marine Parade in the Old Town, was reported at about 00:30 BST.
Six properties were evacuated by East Sussex Fire and Rescue services, with about 35 people having to be escorted from the buildings.
Police said the woman, in her 60s, fell about 12m (40ft) and suffered spinal, pelvic and ankle injuries.
She was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton and is also receiving treatment for the effects of breathing in smoke.
A man was also taken for treatment at the Conquest Hospital on Hastings.
Kevin Boorman, from Hastings Borough Council, said: "There are six properties that stand in a terrace. Five of them are very severely damaged and you can see that the roofs of them have gone.
"The one at the end has not been so badly damaged."
He said the owner had spent several months using scaffolding to help paint the outside of his home which had allowed firefighters to get onto the structure in an attempt to put out the fire.
Those evacuated were initially taken to the Boat House on Hastings seafront and then transferred to the East Hastings Sea Angling Association.
Hastings Borough Council said those affected will be re-homed.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
Its children's services are still inadequate, an Ofsted inspection report concluded, and inspectors said too many children had been identified "as being at risk of immediate harm".
Inspectors identified "serious and widespread failings" in some services.
The council said it was still part-way through a three-year improvement plan.

The city's children's services has held an inadequate rating since 2008.
Criticisms include "inconsistent" work to tackle sexual exploitation of children, with inspectors concluding "much (of the work) is poor".
Services for children missing from home or care were also described as poor, while disabled children in need of help were having to wait too long for support.
Referrals for domestic abuse were found to be "high" at more than 3,000 per month.
Inspectors said improvement was also needed to support and plan the care of 94 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.
But Ofsted also found "a sharper focus on front-line services" and a more stable workforce following successful measures to keep hold of social workers.
The inspection found "progress" in the adoption service, work with care leavers, looked-after children and tracking youngsters who were missing education.
The council, which welcomed the report, said its plans to spin-off the children's services department as a voluntary trust were continuing.
Cabinet member responsible for children's services Brigid Jones said she saw "this as a positive report in the context of where we expected to be".
A Department for Education spokesman said: "Birmingham City Council has made improvements to the way it runs its children's services, but this progress has not yet gone far enough, fast enough.
The Australian, 33, denied Victoria Pendleton Olympic sprint gold in London four years ago, having lost out to the Briton in Beijing four years earlier.
In total, Meares won six Olympic medals and 11 world titles.
"It is hard to close this chapter, because it is a bloody big one," she said. "But I am excited about the doors opening to the next chapter."
Meares needed six cortisone injections in her spine just to get to Rio, and left Brazil with a bronze medal in the keirin behind Britain's silver medallist Becky James.

There were 13,957 incidents of violence against staff in the nine months to December 2015, figures obtained by Scottish Labour reveal.
The previous full-year data, for 2014/15, show that 22,771 incidents of violence took place.
The Scottish government said "perpetrators must be dealt with in the strongest possible terms".
Scottish Labour has called on the Scottish government to ensure that those who attack staff are prosecuted and to do more to minimise violence against staff.
The party's public services spokesman Dr Richard Simpson said: "No-one should face the threat of violence for doing their job.
"Our NHS staff are Scotland's unsung heroes having dedicated their careers to helping others and saving lives.
"We learned this week that more working days are being lost due to staff stress, but these new figures should concern us all."
He added that people who attack NHS staff should face tough penalties.
"The SNP government must work with health boards, trades unions and staff to ensure that the conditions exist where such offences are minimised - and also to ensure that those who are violent are properly prosecuted," he said.
"Many people will question if a fine is the most appropriate way to deal with assaults on NHS staff."
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "Attacks against our NHS staff are despicable and the perpetrators must be dealt with in the strongest possible terms.
"No-one should be the victim of abuse or violence while at work. We continue to encourage all NHS organisations to support criminal proceedings against anyone who assaults our staff."
She said the Emergency Workers Act includes a penalty of up to 12 months' imprisonment, a £10,000 fine, or both.
"In 2008 this government extended the act to include GPs and doctors, nurses and midwives working in the community," she added.
"Enforcing this extended law, and working with NHS boards, staff and trade union representatives has helped to bring down the number of attacks and improve workplace safety.
"The 2015 NHS Scotland staff survey found a 10 percentage point reduction in the number of staff who had experienced a physical attack since 2008.
"NHS staff care for the health of our country and that's why we must all be ready to stand up for them."
The Gwladys Street End will be renamed the Howard Kendall Gwladys Street End and the Park Stand will be renamed the Sir Philip Carter Park Stand.
Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright described the pair as "two of the greatest Evertonians of all time".
Kendall, Everton's most successful manager, died in October 2015, while ex-chairman Carter died in April 2015.
Mortgage shortfall debt applies to anyone who has been left with a deficit in their mortgage after their home has been sold or repossessed.
Debt Action NI estimates there has been an increase of 24% in the debt since 2013.
It said the total has risen to £44m across Northern Ireland.
The average debt per client is £100,000, the charity, which is part of Advice NI, added.
It said the situation could get much worse if interest rates were to increase.
On a recent poll on its website, 68% of those who took the survey said that they would not be able to maintain their mortgage payments if there was any rise in interest rates.
More than 20% of those surveyed also said that their property was currently in negative equity.
In 2013, Northern Ireland had the highest level in the UK of negative equity with 41% of homeowners living with negative equity.
"Advice NI is deeply concerned at the rising level of mortgage shortfall debt," the charity's Fiona Magee said.
"This difficult situation is made all the worse by the numbers of people highlighting how much difficulty they would find themselves in if interest rates were to rise.
"This is a ticking economic and social time bomb which we all need to be aware of."
Hamilton finished second to the German in the season opener in Melbourne after losing the lead following pressure from the Ferrari driver's superior pace.
Hamilton said: "It is going to be a close race. I truly believe we can beat them. It's great to see Ferrari there.
"It's good we had this close battle. I'm looking forward to the next."
Hamilton led from pole position but struggled for pace in the opening laps and after an early pit stop was held up by Red Bull's Max Verstappen, allowing Vettel to get ahead.
Hamilton said: "I wouldn't say I'm happy. But all things in perspective. To see where we have come from, with massive rule changes and to come here and be battling so close for a win and missing out marginally, there are a lot of things to be proud of.
"We could have won the race but I gave it everything I could and you can't do more. Take the strength of the weekend."
Vettel said of his title chances: "There is a long, long way ahead. We have a lot to prove still but for now we are just happy.
"It is March now. I know people start to get excited but it is our job to work and I am much happier if we are working now and not talking."
Hamilton said he was looking forward to a close battle with Vettel throughout the year.
"This year we have the best drivers at the front," said Hamilton. "Of course it would be great to have Fernando [Alonso of McLaren] up there but it doesn't look like it is going to happen any time soon.
"But Sebastian has four titles and he will continue for many years to come. I am really grateful to have that fight with him. It's great."
Hamilton defended Mercedes' decision to bring him in for a pit stop earlier than Vettel.
"My strategy was to stop on lap 19 and I think I stopped on lap 18. I had nothing left in my tyres.
"I was catching some back markers and the car started to slide around a lot and the gap was reducing behind me and I was like, 'Guys I have to come in now or I'm probably going to get overtaken on track.'
"I pitted not knowing the gap between the other cars. I came out behind some other cars which I couldn't get by. I said to the team I had to come in because the tyres were dead."
Caterham have re-entered under the company name of 1 Malaysia Racing Sdn Bhd, which owns the team's F1 rights.
Marussia have re-branded and will be known as Manor F1 Team if they return.
Both teams were given dispensation to miss last week's US Grand Prix and this weekend's Brazilian GP. The season ends in Abu Dhabi on 23 November.
Under the regulations of motorsport's world governing body, the FIA, entry fees to compete next year must be paid by 30 November.
Entering on the 2015 list, even provisionally, gives both teams a greater chance of securing a prospective buyer in the meantime.
Caterham's administrators, meanwhile, expect the team to be in a position to race in the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
"I think I've got enough confidence now to say I'd be very surprised if we were not racing in Abu Dhabi," said Finbarr O'Connell, one of Caterham's co-administrators representing Smith & Williamson.
"I'm now really hopeful for the future of the team."
The two parties, along with a local independent councillor, have said they will work together to protect local services.
The Conservatives took seven seats to become the largest party at the recent elections.
However, the SNP with five councillors and Labour with four have excluded them from a deal to form an administration.
This is the latest example of a deal which cuts out the largest local group.
Labour are set to run North Lanarkshire Council although the SNP have more councillors.
The Conservatives have remained in opposition in South Ayrshire.
Meanwhile, the SNP have been frozen out in Aberdeen, Angus and Argyll and Bute.
New administrations are still to be agreed at a number of councils including West Lothian and Edinburgh.
Councillor Tony Buchanan, leader of the SNP group in East Renfrewshire, said: "I am delighted that we have reached an agreement to build on the work and achievements of the last 10 years.
"East Renfrewshire is regularly quoted as being one of the best places to live in Scotland. The administration has a shared manifesto to continue to deliver our vision of a modern, ambitious council creating a fairer future for all."
Councillor Paul O'Kane, leader of the Labour Group, said: "We have been working with the SNP group and Councillor Devlin for the last 10 years so in essence this is a continuation of that arrangement."
Glasgow - The SNP has formed a minority administration, ending almost 40 years of Labour dominance.
West Lothian - No deal agreed after Scottish Labour's ruling body told councillors not to enter a coalition with the Conservatives.
Aberdeen Council - Labour suspended nine councillors after they agreed a coalition deal with the Conservatives.
North Lanarkshire - Labour have formed a minority administration. There will be no formal coalition agreement with the Tories.
South Lanarkshire - Labour members abstained in a vote on forming an alliance with the Tories. The SNP took control of the council, with a minority administration. They are seven seats short of a majority but the other parties could agree to work together.
West Dunbartonshire Council - It will be an SNP-Independent administration. The 10 SNP councillors have joined with one of the two independents to form an administration.
Edinburgh - No agreement reached. A new administration will not now be formed for at least another week.
Fife Council - Joint leadership, with power shared equally between SNP and Labour.
Highland Council - 28 independents along with 10 Lib Dems and three Labour have formed an administration, keeping out the SNP and Tories.
Renfrewshire Council - will operate as an SNP minority administration.
Aberdeenshire Council - A coalition of Conservative, Liberal Democrats and independent councillors will run the council.
Scottish Borders - A new Conservative-independent coalition has taken formal control. It was previously an SNP/Lib Dem/independent administration.
Falkirk - SNP minority takes control of the council
North Ayrshire Council - Labour will continue to run the council despite a surge from the Scottish Conservatives in the local elections. The SNP have the same number of seats as Labour.
East Ayrshire Council - SNP minority administration
Angus Council - Conservatives, Independents and Liberal Democrats form administration.

Hanad Mohamed, 23, is due to appear in court on Friday on a murder charge.
He is accused of killing Anthony Smith, 21, seen posing with Mr Ford in a photo reported to have been provided to news media by the people who have the video.
Mr Ford has denied the video exists, accusing the media of stoking a scandal that has roiled city politics.
Journalists from the Toronto Star and US website Gawker say they have seen - but not obtained - a video that appeared to show Mr Ford smoking the drug.
In a photograph they say was provided to them by the people who showed them the video, Mr Ford can be seen posing with his arm around Smith.
Mr Mohamed was arrested on Wednesday in Alberta and is charged with murder.
In April, 23-year-old Nisar Hashimi turned himself in over the killing and also faces a murder charge.
The video has not been released publicly and has not been verified.
Gawker used a crowd-funding campaign to raise $200,000 (£140,000) to buy the video, but the website said it lost contact with the people in possession of the footage.
Mr Ford has said he does not smoke crack cocaine and is not an addict.
"I cannot comment on a video that I've never seen or that does not exist," he said last week.
The mayor has come under mounting pressure to resolve the issue as city councillors have called openly for him to step aside or seek help.
Two departures from the Toronto mayor's office on Thursday joined a stream of defections and sackings in recent days.
Brian Johnston, a policy adviser, told Canadian media he had resigned. Kia Nejatian, the mayor's executive assistant, has also left.
Earlier in May, Mr Ford sacked his chief of staff Mark Towhey. His office has denied reports that it ordered emails and phone records to be destroyed after other city hall aides were fired or quit in recent days.
Last year the club left its former Colliers' Park training ground at Gresford, opened ten years ago at a cost of £750,000.
The facility was taken over by Glyndwr University in 2011 and Wrexham were unable to reach a deal to stay.
The club is now preparing to lease Wrexham Council's Nine Acres site.
The Wrexham players have been training at the Stansty Park ground of Welsh National League side Lex Glyndwr, less than a mile from Wrexham's Racecourse stadium, this season.
Now the club is preparing to lease Wrexham Council's Nine Acres - and the move has divided supporters.
Television reporter Bryn Law, who resigned earlier this year as president of Wrexham Supporters' Trust, said he recognised the club's situation, but "lamented" the loss of the Colliers' Park training ground. "It's a first class facility - the envy of many bigger clubs," he wrote on social media.
"From owning this to asking permission to use a field in Wrexham? I'm angry right now. I think we're at the jumpers for goalposts stage now, sadly."
However, club director Spencer Harris said he hoped the club would be able to lease the council site for a nominal rent. "We realise that the Colliers Park facility was dear to many people's hearts, but we haven't owned the site for seven years," he told the Wrexham leader.
"We've now got to make the best of the situation and move forward. We're happy that Nine Acres is a good site and we will be developing the pitches there to a high standard suitable for a professional football club."
And you'd be forgiven for thinking the same about UK airport expansion. We always seem to have been here before.
Ever since Gatwick and Heathrow airports opened for business in the Thirties and Forties, arguments have raged over how best to cater for Britain's burgeoning demand for air travel.
The debates seem endless and progress has been bedevilled by politics.
Recent history is littered with inquiries, commissions, consultations, studies and reports resulting in very little, but costing taxpayers millions.
Here's a reminder of UK aviation's chequered history.
The Wilson government sets up the Roskill Commission to look into the pros, cons and costs of a third London airport. Two years and many hundreds of pages later, the Commission recommends Cublington in rural Buckinghamshire as the best location for a new airport. The burghers of Bucks are not best pleased: beacons burn on hilltops and church bells peal across the county in protest. Ironically, Roskill dismisses Stansted as a location.
The recommendation is roundly dismissed by the new Heath government, which instead plumps for another Roskill option, Maplin Sands, Foulness - mudflats in the Thames Estuary near Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The idea was to build on the reclaimed land, but it was the most expensive of Roskill's four recommendations.
The Maplin Sands idea slides into the sea. The previous year's embargo by Arab oil producers - known as the 1973 oil crisis - sends shockwaves through the global economy and fuel costs rocketing. The need to reduce costs becomes a priority. Good news for wading birds; bad news for ousted prime minister Ted Heath. Meanwhile, France opens its shiny new Charles-de-Gaulle four-runway airport near Paris. Sacre bleu.
The Callaghan government's aviation white paper identifies Heathrow capacity as "restricted", and the following year the incoming Thatcher government decides against building a new international airport, despite acknowledging that "Heathrow capacity is virtually exhausted…" Instead, it envisages developing regional airports and expanding Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted "as the traffic develops". Heathrow Terminal 4 opens in 1986.
The government commissions a new study into airports called the Runway Capacity in the South East Study. Three long years later it concludes that expanding Heathrow "would afford the greatest benefits" and British Airways backs the idea of an extra runway. No extra runway materialises.
Secretary of State for Transport Brian Mawhinney rejects proposed new runways for Gatwick and Heathrow but says the government will explore how to squeeze more capacity out of the existing runways.
New Blair government, new aviation policy. A Transport White Paper says the government will "prepare a UK airports policy looking some 30 years ahead". This inevitably entails another time-consuming inquiry - the South East of England Regional Air Services Study - exploring how increasing demand for air travel will affect airport capacity. The Department for Transport begins a three-year consultation on The Future of Aviation.
This results in the government's Future of Air Transport White Paper which recommends a third runway at Heathrow - sound familiar? - greater use of Heathrow's existing two runways and possibly an extra three runways at Stansted. Oh, and the previous Tory government's aspiration to expand regional airports. As the UK chases its tail, Amsterdam's Schiphol airport opens its fifth runway.
"Heathrow expansion plans unveiled" the BBC reports on 22 November 2007. Guess what? They include a third runway and a sixth terminal at Heathrow. With Terminal 5 due to open the following year, it seems we're better at building terminals than runways. Announcing the consultation, the government says any expansion would have to conform to noise and pollution limits - the perennial sticks with which to beat the developers.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson proposes a new airport far out in the Thames Estuary at Shivering Sands, subsequently nicknamed Boris Island. Will it fare any better than the other Estuary proposals, normally rejected on cost and environmental grounds?
Gordon Brown's Labour government backs a third runway at Heathrow, but this is opposed by the Conservatives, despite the fact that the first Thatcher government originally supported the idea.
Politics intervenes once again as the new Tory-Liberal Democrat coalition government puts Gordon Brown out to grass. It immediately rules out new runways at Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted. Back to square one.
What happens when there's a new government? A new consultation, this time called a "scoping document" on how to develop a "sustainable framework for UK aviation". Meanwhile, Heathrow is full to bursting, operating at 99.2% capacity. Frankfurt airport opens its fourth runway.
The government launches yet another consultation on the "draft aviation policy framework", and sets up the Airports Commission chaired by economist Sir Howard Davies. The Commission is tasked with assessing what extra capacity UK airports will need and inevitably publishes consultation documents. It's like Groundhog Day.
The Airports Commission shortlists three options to increase capacity, and we're back to the Gatwick and Heathrow new or extended runways idea. The next year, the Boris Island idea is sunk.
Sir Howard publishes his final recommendations. Will the new Conservative government finally grasp the nettle and make a decision or, as history suggests, kick the can further down the road?
As Yogi Berra had it: "The future ain't what it used to be."
Investigations show the fires were caused by overheating in some parts of the engine which led to oil leaks, said Ford SA chief executive Jeff Nemeth.
The recall affects the 1.6 litre model, built in Spain between 2012 and 2014.
The firm has been under pressure to act since motorist Reshall Jimmy, 33, burnt to death in his Kuga in 2015.
A total of 48 of the vehicles have so far caught fire in South Africa‚ 11 of them this month, the local TimesLive newspaper reported.
South Africa's motor industry ombudsman Johan van Vreden demanded that "Ford must act - now."
"One or two vehicles in the same model range catching fire is not unusual‚ but almost 50… it's crazy‚ especially in a small market like ours," the newspaper quoted him as saying.
Mr Nemeth said he could confirm 39 vehicles burning, but there may be other cases which had not been reported to the firm.
He understood the concerns of owners and the firm would "work with dealers to ensure each case is treated fairly".
Recalled vehicles would be subjected to a software update and a check on the cylinder head‚ Mr Nemeth added.
He said that an investigation which led to Mr Jimmy's vehicle burning while he was on holiday had not been concluded, but it appeared to be unrelated to the engine catching fire.
"We are not aware of any injuries that have resulted from our engine compartment fires," Mr Nemeth added, while offering condolences to Mr Jimmy's family.
Mr Nemeth spoke at a joint news conference with representatives of the family and the National Consumer Commission, which had been putting pressure on the firm to act.
"This issue has dragged on for too long‚" said commissioner Ibrahim Mohammad.
Mr Jimmy's brother, Kaveen, said his family was planning legal action against the car giant for a "very senseless death".
The commission, a regulatory body, has given Ford until 28 February to complete its investigation and report back.
In 2014, Ford recalled about 850,000 cars in North America over a "potential issue" with airbags.
Earlier this year, signs for the Clifton Village residents' parking zone appeared but some were fixed to railings which are Grade II* listed.
It prompted complaints that the signs were spoiling a conservation area.
The council said it used railings as much as possible to minimise posts in the pavement.
It said it "met regularly" with English Heritage to talk about listed building work and legislation.
The council said when signs were put up in the Kingsdown conservation area it was advised as long as it was not making "significant or permanent changes to a building, which would alter its character, it was acceptable".
English Heritage's letter, seen by the BBC, raised the "potential cumulative impact" of the signs in West Mall and Caledonia Place, which contains listed buildings.
"We would suggest that taken together such work might fall within Section 7 of the [Planning and Listed Buildings and Conservation 1990] Act," it said.
"In our view, it would be prudent to seek a listed building consent... to allow for a careful consideration of the impact of the works on the special interest of the terrace, of the number of signs and the consideration of alternative locations."
Numbers one to 31 Caledonia Place and their attached basement railings are Grade II* listed by English Heritage for their "special architectural or historic interest".

A court ruled on Tuesday there was "excessive" use of a Taser after James McCarthy, 25, was struck twice in Liverpool in 2012.
His lawyer Sophie Khan said he had lost his memory after suffering a brain injury due to the cardiac arrest.
She called for a limit on how the stun guns were used by police.
"In my view, Tasers are not in their infancy, they are fully part of policing so what we need to look at is how to curb that use now."
Officers were called to a hotel at the Albert Dock in September 2012, when a group of men were fighting.
Mr McCarthy was 23 when he was struck twice with a Taser in the chest.
Two years ago, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said Merseyside Police used "reasonable force".
On Tuesday, the County Court in Manchester ruled against the force, saying the second Taser discharge - which lasted for 11 seconds - was "excessive and disproportionate".
Richard Taylor, a solicitor who has been campaigning against the roll-out of the stun guns, said: "The problem with the Taser is the level of violence which comes from just pushing the button."
The court judgement also found the force to be negligent because of delays in getting Mr McCarthy treated.
Ms Khan said: "His life has totally changed - he has lost his memory.
"His father is now his part-time carer."
She added it was the first case in the UK where police were held liable for negligence concerning care after the use of a Taser and that Mr McCarthy could win a "substantial" payment.
Merseyside Police said it was considering a possible appeal against Tuesday's ruling.
New Zealand thrashed Wales 92-27 in Tuesday's first Test but led 15-12 after a tight first quarter.
The Silver Ferns extended their advantage to 31-21 at half-time.
The visitors pulled further ahead as they finished the third quarter 51-30 up and, despite a valiant Welsh effort, New Zealand were comfortable winners.
The Silver Ferns' Grace Rasmussen was named player of the series.
Wales captain Suzy Drane told BBC Wales: "It was a good margin to come back to from yesterday's game.
"We will be pleased but we won't be settling for that scoreline.
"We have 14 months until the Commonwealth Games and we will look forward to that.
"Our team have had one weekend together and we then come up against the second best team in the world.
"Who knows what we can do with 14 months together? It's about the journey and sticking together."

The 27-year-old student has the distinction of publishing the very first science paper to come out of the Alma radio telescope.
This huge facility, going up in Chile's Atacama Desert, is set to revolutionise our understanding of the cosmos.
Ms Herrera's efforts will be followed by thousands more publications.
"I was really excited to be told my work was the first refereed paper accepted for publication based on Alma observations, but also I was extremely proud because Alma is in Chile," the young astronomer told BBC News.
Ms Herrera has been describing her studies here in Manchester at theUK National Astronomy Meeting (NAM).
Her investigations involved looking for star forming clusters resulting from the merger of a pair of spiral galaxies.
This collision, known as "The Antennae", lies about 70 million light-years away in the constellation of Corvus (The Crow).
It produces very turbulent regions of gas that must dissipate their energy if they are to condense and form new stars.
"With Alma and its wonderful resolution, we were able to trace the molecular mass of the gas and the structures that will form stars; and using another telescope run by the European Southern Observatory, we were able to trace the energy dissipation," Ms Herrera explained.
"The tracers we observe to do this are carbon monoxide in the case of Alma and molecular hydrogen in the case of the second telescope - the Very Large Telescope, also in the Atacama."
Details of the work haveappeared in Astronomy and Astrophysics.
The data was acquired in the so-called science verification phase of Alma (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array).
The co-operative venture that includes the scientific and engineering inputs of Europe, East Asia, North America, and the host nation, Chile, is still only half-built.
Week by week, new radio antennas are being added to the observing network sited 5,000m above sea level on Atacama's Chajnantor plateau.
Right now, there are 22 of its 12m dishes in place with another seven 7m dishes also observing the sky.
It is planned there should be a total of 66 antennas when Alma becomes fully operational in the next couple of years.
The observatory's capabilities are keenly awaited by astronomers.
The unprecedented resolution it will achieve at longer wavelengths of light will allow scientists to study extremely cold objects in space - such as the dense clouds of cosmic dust and gas from which stars and planets form.
It is expected also to see very distant objects in the early Universe, including some of the very first structures to form more than 13 billion years ago.
Ms Herrera is currently studying in Paris, France, at the Institute of Space Astrophysics (IAS), but her intention is to return home to work on all the telescopes that take advantage of the great observing conditions in the high, dry Atacama.
"For the next few decades, I think Alma will be one of the greatest telescopes on Earth," she told the BBC.

Charlotte Bevan vanished from Bristol's St Michael's Hospital with Zaani Tiana Bevan Malbrouck on 2 December.
Alison Woozley said she had a "sense of foreboding" when she met Ms Bevan weeks before and had warned the hospital.
Ms Bevan suffered from depression and schizophrenia but had stopped taking medication in order to breastfeed.
On Thursday the inquest heard evidence from midwives who cared for Ms Bevan, 30, before and after she gave birth.
Her care plan stated that Ms Bevan was to continue taking the anti-psychotic drug risperidone while Zaani was to be formula-fed, to prevent the drug being passed to her through breast milk.
But community midwife Ms Woozley said when she visited Ms Bevan 10 days before the birth, she realised her patient had stopped taking medication and expressed her concerns to the expectant mother.
"The plan was clear that Charlotte was to be on 5mg of risperidone once a day.
"She became very, very angry. She was right in my face, saying 'I know my rights as a woman, how dare you tell me what to do'.
"I was extremely concerned for Charlotte's well-being but also for the well-being of the baby. My anxiety was how she could look after a baby," she said.
"I had a sense of foreboding."
She said that on 29 November, after hearing Ms Bevan had given birth, she called the hospital to speak to the midwife on duty, to advise her to look for Ms Bevan's care plan and warn her she had "grave concerns".
Hospital midwife Sarah Grey told the inquest Ms Bevan "behaved like a normal mum of a newborn baby", after Zaani's birth on 28 November.
"She obviously fell in love immediately with her baby, she responded beautifully to her. She expressed no concerns at all."
But midwife Kerry Lee said Ms Bevan's behaviour had changed by 1 December and she appeared "agitated". Her mother also called to raise concerns.
Avon Coroner's Court heard Ms Bevan told her partner Pascal Malbrouck she had very little sleep since giving birth.
Ms Lee asked a mental health team to assess Ms Bevan within four hours but did not believe Zaani was at risk and so did not contact safeguarding teams.
The midwife said: "I was quite worried. I knew the psychiatry team were on their way."
The team attended and told the midwife Ms Bevan was worried one of them would harm her child and this was "preventing Charlotte from wanting to sleep".
They advised her to take the medication.
Later she was examined by a consultant obstetrician, who arranged for her to be moved to a quiet side room.
"I offered to look after the baby for her but she refused, probably because she thought someone would harm the baby," Ms Lee added.
The inquest has heard that Ms Bevan was seen on CCTV leaving the hospital in slippers, with her baby wrapped in a blanket at 20:36 GMT on 2 December.
Search teams located the bodies of Ms Bevan and four-day-old Zaani, who both suffered fatal injuries consistent with a fall, on 3 and 4 December.
The inquest was adjourned until Friday.
The preferred option would see student numbers in the city increase by more than 5,000 over the next 10 years.
In August, Mr Farry said plans to expand the Londonderry site were "off the table" due to budget cuts.
The business case was presented to the city's strategy board last week.
The consultants were commissioned by Derry City Council, the Ulster University, the urban regeneration company Ilex and the lobby group U4D in March.
The report sets out the need for increased student numbers, the potential benefits and the obstacles it might face.
It said the plan would cost £20m a year to implement but that it would bring double that amount to the Northern Ireland economy.
It also said that it would create 260 jobs across Northern Ireland, including 170 in the north west.
The report weighed up a number of options but recommended one that would see the number of full time undergraduates at Magee almost double to 6,000 by 2021.
It would also see 750 more students at the North West Regional College over a similar time frame.
Whether the Northern Ireland Executive can find the initial investment to adopt the plan remains to be seen.
Since taking over on 1 April, the company has been plagued by delays with numerous patients missing appointments.
Coperforma apologised and on Thursday evening confirmed that one of the senior managers was leaving his post.
It had previously said the problems were due to "inaccurate data" being transferred to the company.
Gary Palmer, from the GMB union, said the blame rests with the High Weald, Lewes and Havens Clinical Commissioning Group.
"The service was successful, it had 90% satisfaction levels," he said.
"If their aim was to seek to improve that somewhat, they've certainly done as much as they possibly could to actually destroy service provision within Sussex."
Dialysis and cancer patient Lois Wood said she had missed five hospital appointments.
"I was frightened as well as cross," she said.
"I have been left at the [dialysis] unit at 10 at night four or five times. Brighton Hospital has had to get emergency taxis for us."
It was revealed on Thursday that Stephen Payne, the business manager at Coperforma, will leave his post at the end of the month.
The High Weald, Lewes and Havens CCG said the process of hiring Coperforma was being investigated independently.
They said the report is expected in June and the group will not comment until then.
For the world number 772 to be playing Roger Federer, arguably the best male player ever, on Centre Court at Wimbledon is amazing.
It's just a great story that's happened to a really good fun guy, and it's nice that the public seem to have taken to him. If he was an absolute prat I'm sure some people would just think, 'He's an idiot, I'm not interested', but he's definitely the kind of person who deserves this moment.
I haven't seen Marcus much over the last four or five years but whenever I've spent any time with him, he just makes you smile and laugh. I don't know anyone that doesn't like him.
So I hope he enjoys the experience on Wednesday but also that he keeps on playing beyond Wimbledon.
He's proved over the last 10 days that if he can maintain this motivation and concentration over a whole season, there's no reason he can't be playing at this level a little bit more often.

There are plenty of stories about Marcus on the tour - he's quite a character.
My physio told me that a few years ago he was at a tournament where Marcus was playing, and every time Marcus hit a ball, rather than grunting he was shouting "Djokovic!" or "Federer!" or "Nadal!" depending on which shot he was playing. For a whole match!
Another time, my fitness trainer went on a trip to Livorno in Italy when Marcus was 14 and he'd been called for his doubles match, but his partner had no idea where he was.
The place was right next to the sea and Marcus eventually turned up late, and totally drenched.
His partner said, 'Where have you been?' and Marcus explained that some of the guys had dared him to swim out to one of the buoys in the sea, so obviously he did it - in his kit - and turned up completely soaked.
I'm sure there are plenty more Marcus stories I don't know about as well!
It's great that so many people enjoy Wimbledon, and that the British players are providing a feelgood factor so far, but the way the country is run is more important than any sporting event.
There's obviously a lot going on right now and I'm checking the news every night before I go to bed, then first thing when I wake up in the morning.
And as well as catching up on the news, I am also still trying to watch the football wherever I can fit it in.
Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide.
The media attention is the thing that I remember most from my first Wimbledon in 2005, because it was full-on and it was so new.
I was getting followed, there were photographers everywhere, at all of my practices, I couldn't get anywhere without people wanting to talk to me. I was seeing myself on TV or reading about myself in the papers.
That's hard when you're very young and not used to it, it can take you a little bit by surprise.
Hopefully Marcus is coping with it all - I get the feeling he'll deal with that stuff absolutely fine.
I was saying to my wife after he won his first-round match, 'You've got to listen to his interviews because he's just so funny.' I heard his press conference was awesome.
I'm practising in the morning, so one thing is for sure, I'll be heading home to watch the match like everyone else.

Men who have sex with men can now give blood three months after their last sexual activity instead of 12.
And sex workers, who were previously barred from donating, now can, subject to the same three-month rule.
Experts said the move would give more people the opportunity to donate blood without affecting blood supply safety.
The Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs - which advises UK health departments - recommended the changes after concluding that new testing systems were accurate and donors were good at complying with the rules.
All blood that is donated in the UK undergoes a mandatory test for Hepatitis B and C, and HIV, plus a couple of other viruses.
Scientists agree that three months is a comfortably long window for a virus or infection to appear and be picked up in the blood.
Prof James Neuberger, from the committee, said: "Technologies to pick up the presence of the virus have greatly improved, so we can now pick up viruses at a much earlier stage in the infection, and therefore it's much easier to tell if a blood donor has the virus."
The rule changes will come into force at blood donation centres in Scotland in November, and in early 2018 in England.
The changes affect groups including men who have sex with other men, people who have sex with high-risk partners - for example, those who have been in areas where HIV is common - and commercial sex workers.
They will now all be able to donate blood after abstaining from sex for three months.
The UK government is also considering relaxing the rules for people who have undergone acupuncture, piercing, tattooing and endoscopy, and for those with a history of non-prescribed injecting drug use.
But these also need changes to current EU legislation.
Deborah Gold, chief executive of National Aids Trust, welcomed the changes to the blood donation rules.
"It's a huge advance for gay and bisexual men to now be able to donate three months from their last sexual activity," she said.
"We are also delighted that NHS Blood and Transplant have said they will now investigate how possible it is for some gay men, depending on degree of risk, to donate without even the three-month deferral."
Alex Phillips, blood donations policy lead at Terrence Higgins Trust, said representatives of the organisation were delighted the ban on sex workers had been lifted.
She said: "The lifetime blood donation ban on anyone who works or used to work in the sex industry in the UK is based on preconceptions rather than evidence, and the rules needed reviewing to fit the facts."
NHS Blood and Transplant said there was not currently a shortage of blood in the UK but 200,000 new donors were needed every year to replenish supplies.
It said there was a particular need for more people from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities to give blood.
The victims were killed over three days by paratroops during Operation Demetrius, when people suspected of paramilitary activity were interned.
The Army said it fired in response to gunfire from republican paramilitaries.
The families said Secretary of State Owen Paterson told them an inquiry was "not in the public interest".
In a statement they said it was "clearly in the public interest" to fully establish the circumstances of the deaths and the role of the Parachute Regiment, "especially given the recent findings of Lord Saville in relation to the events of Bloody Sunday".
"We also refute the suggestion by Mr Paterson that existing processes such as the Historical Enquiries Team will fully answer the families' concerns in relation to these tragic events.
"The Ballymurphy Massacre Families have no confidence in the HET, especially in light of the
recent revelations of Dr Patricia Lundy
in relation to HET's conduct of their review of Royal Military Police investigations into British army killings in the early 1970s."
Last November, Attorney General John Larkin announced new inquests would be held into the Ballymurphy killings. A priest and a mother-of-eight were among those who died.
The families said this was an "important step on our journey for truth" but it would have limitations compared to an independent inquiry.
"It will be able to provide facts and gather crucial forensic, logistical and witness testimony evidence, but it will not be able to examines the causes, context and consequences of the massacre and answer so many of the questions that must be answered," they said.
The families say they want to meet Prime Minister David Cameron, and have called on Taoiseach Enda Kenny to back their campaign as he has done for the family of murdered solicitor Pat Finucane.
The RBS Shareholders Action Group has voted to accept a 82p a share offer.
The amount is below the 200p-230p a share that investors paid during the fundraising in 2008, when they say RBS lied about its financial health.
A settlement means that the disgraced former chief executive of RBS, Fred Goodwin, will not appear in court.
A spokesman for the RBS Shareholder Action Group said: "The directors met last night to consider the legal advice and took the decision that this matter will not now go to court."
He declined to comment on whether the decision was unanimous.
Shares in RBS fell 1.1% to 256.85p.
Shortly after the rights issue in 2008, RBS was bailed out with £45bn taxpayers' money. The state still owns more than 70% of the bank.
In contrast, the government recently sold its last remaining stake in Lloyds, which took over HBOS during the crisis before receiving £20bn of rescue funds from the state.
RBS declined to comment.
UK oil and gas production generated negative receipts in 2015-16 of -£24m, compared with +£2.15bn the year before.
Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) revenue was -£562m, following refunds to companies, while corporation tax revenue fell by 74% over the year to £538m.
The North Sea contributed £10.9bn to the Treasury just five years ago.
The UK's Scottish Secretary David Mundell called the latest figures from HMRC "particularly concerning".
The Scottish government said the North Sea continued to represent "a huge opportunity for Scotland with impacts that go far beyond tax receipts".
HMRC's report said firms had seen their profits cut by the fall in oil prices in 2015.
It stated: "Low oil prices in 2015-16 combined with continuing high levels of investment and increasing amounts of decommissioning expenditure have resulted in government revenues declining to -£24m, their lowest levels since records began in 1968-69."
It added: "Significant investment in both existing developments as well as new projects, a decline in the volumes of oil and gas produced combined with a halving in the oil price between 2011-12 and 2015-16 has resulted in government revenues decreasing to their historical low."
Tax receipts from oil and gas have been steadily falling since 2010-11, when they stood at nearly £10.9bn.
PRT is a field-based tax charged on profits arising from oil and gas production from fields which were given development consent before 16 March 1993.
In March, the chancellor announced a major overhaul of the North Sea tax regime, in response to difficulties facing the UK oil and gas sector.
In his Budget statement, he said PRT would be "effectively abolished", having cut it the previous year from 50% to 35%.
The existing supplementary charge for oil companies was also cut from 20% to 10%.
The UK government's Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "These oil and gas revenue figures are particularly concerning, showing a fall to their lowest level since the 1960s.
"That's why the UK government is doing everything it can to support the North Sea industry to become innovative and competitive on a global scale.
"No other government has supported their industry so extensively.
"We have established the Oil and Gas Authority to drive greater collaboration and productivity within the industry, and in the last two budgets we announced major packages of tax measures worth £2.3bn to ensure the UK Continental Shelf remains an attractive destination for investment."
He added: "We are working collaboratively with the Scottish government and Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils to support the area, but it is because of the broad shoulders of the wider UK economy that we are able to provide this support to our oil and gas industry, and to the thousands of workers and families it supports, at this very difficult time."
The Scottish government's energy minister Paul Wheelhouse said: "The Scottish government is doing everything within its powers to support oil and gas companies and their highly skilled workforces.
"But the UK government retains control of the main economic levers affecting the sector, including those on corporate taxes and incentives to invest in exploration.
"The North Sea continues to represent a huge opportunity for Scotland with impacts that go far beyond tax receipts.
"And while these figures highlight the current challenges facing the sector, in terms of the impact of these challenges on the UK and thereby Scotland's overall public finances, growth in onshore tax revenues is predicted to more than compensate for any decline in offshore tax receipts over the next few years."
He added: "Industry initiatives are already under way to improve resilience and competitiveness and these are starting to show positive results: North Sea production has increased for the first time in 15 years, reflecting high levels of capital investment in recent years, and unit operating costs fell by 28% in 2015 - with a further fall of 20% predicted for 2016.
"Nevertheless, further support is still likely to be required to ensure the industry's success over the longer term.
"That is why we continue to press the UK government to provide support for exploration and enhanced oil recovery and to act quickly to deliver on its commitment to use the UK Loan Guarantees Scheme to secure new investment in oil and gas infrastructure."
Oil & Gas UK's economics director, Mike Tholen, said the industry had paid a total of more than £330bn to the UK Treasury to date.
He added: "However, in recent times, tax receipts have fallen significantly.
"This reflects downward production trends and falling oil and gas prices as well as the record investment in new developments (£38bn between 2010 and 2014).
"The inevitable growth in decommissioning has also depressed North Sea tax receipts.
"Despite the trend in production taxes, however, it must be noted that several billion pounds are paid each year in corporation tax and payroll taxes from the oil and gas industry supply chain, reflecting the sector's broader economic contribution."

The West Indies batsman struck 11 sixes on his way to scoring 100 from just 47 balls as England slumped to a six-wicket loss in Mumbai.
"The world is watching, so the universe boss got to deliver and he did today," the 36-year-old left-hander said.
"The Gayle force got the better of England today."
Gayle said his thrilling innings was inspired by the words of West Indies team-mate Sulieman Benn.
"Sulieman said to me I had to go out and entertain him, that gave me the spark," the Jamaican said.
"I just try and keep people entertained around the world. That's my objective."
Gayle's century was the joint-third fastest in T20 internationals, saw him become the first man to score two tons in the World T20, and took West Indies to their target of 183 with 11 balls to spare.
"It was a fantastic innings and I'm really happy to have finished the game, I didn't leave it for anyone," he added.
"It was always good to bat second. A target of 183 we always had a chance of chasing down. We didn't panic. Now we're on to the next one against Sri Lanka."
For England, Joe Root made 48 in a total of 182-6, the highest score they have failed to defend in a Twenty20. Captain Eoin Morgan described the total as "competitive".
"We would have liked 200, 220 probably would have been a wining total, but we never really took the game away from them," he added.
"They bowled well and probably in the chase there was not a lot on offer for us apart from the first few overs when it swung. Once Gayle gets himself in, though, he's hard to stop."
Police said the two teenagers were assaulted at about 17:00 on Friday 3 July at the Cramond Waterfall.
After the man approached the girls and attacked them, he walked off in the direction of Cramond Beach.
It is thought the suspect is of Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi ethnicity and about 25 years old. He had a large build, short dark hair and a full beard.
He was wearing a white polo shirt, black dress trousers and black shoes.
Det Sgt David Brady from Police Scotland said: "This was a distressing experience for the young girls and we have been pursuing various lines of investigation over the past week to identify the suspect.
"However, we have so far been unable to establish who he is and I am keen to hear from anyone with information that can assist with our inquiry.
"In particular, we would like to speak with anyone who was walking between the Cramond Waterfall and Cramond Beach last Friday evening and may have seen this male."
He added: "Similarly, anyone with any further information in relation to these assaults is also asked to come forward."
The Jack Russell terrier, who has been named Molly by the RSPCA, was found by a member of the public in Backwell near Bristol Airport.
Molly had shotgun pellets beneath her skin with injuries to her jaw and face.
The RSPCA's John Atkinson said: "It's heartbreaking to think someone could intentionally attack a dog then leave her with such horrific injuries."
Molly is in intensive care being nursed by the team at the RSPCA Bristol clinic.
She is not micro-chipped so officers have so far been unable to trace her owners.
Chief inspector Atkinson added: "We don't know exactly what happened to her or how long she has been struggling alone with her injuries and are appealing to anyone who recognises Molly or knows what may have happened to her to get in touch."
Anyone with information can contact the RSPCA appeal line on 0300 123 8018.
The controversial move for Michelle Martin comes 16 years into her 30-year sentence.
Relatives of the pair's victims have expressed outrage over the decision, with one describing it as "absurd".
Earlier, a court in Brussels rejected two appeals against the ruling.
Martin was arrested in 1996 and was finally convicted in 2004 of complicity in the starvation deaths of two girls kidnapped by Dutroux and of helping him in the abduction of a number of others.
Martin did not feed two eight-year-olds who were left in Dutroux's basement dungeon while he served a three-month jail term for an unrelated offence.
Dutroux himself is serving a life sentence for the kidnap and rape of six young and teenage girls. As well as the two who starved to death, Dutroux killed two others.
Judges at the packed federal Court of Cassation in Brussels rejected the two appeals against Martin's conditional release - one led by Jean-Denis Lejeune, the father of one of the victims, and another by prosecutors.
Martin has gone to the Clarisse convent in Malonne near Namur in southern Belgium, where nuns have agreed to take her in.
She will be free to come and go as she pleases, but under the supervision of nuns and probation workers.
She has been ordered to "keep her distance" from relatives of the victims and will not be allowed to speak to the media about her crimes.
The case generates huge anger in Belgium, says the BBC's Matthew Price in Brussels.
It is not only the vicious nature of the crimes, but the incompetence some say characterised the police investigation.
Both Dutroux and Martin were jailed in the 1980s for kidnapping and raping five young girls, but were freed early on good behaviour - only to go on to abduct more young victims.
Martin's lawyer said she deserved to be given a chance to redeem herself.
"There is something human remaining in Mrs Martin, even though she acknowledges herself she is responsible for very serious acts," Thierry Moreau told AFP.
"She paid the price for it. She did it in respect of the law, and now there is this project where she wants to redeem herself and this will be another way to do her sentence."
A media scrum had reportedly awaited her arrival at the convent, whose walls are said to have already been daubed with graffiti.
"There is only one word for this. This is simply absurd," said Paul Marchal, the father of one of Dutroux's victims. "Concerning Martin, my fight is over and done. I lost."
In 10 years' time she will be eligible for full release into the community, according to an earlier court ruling.
Protesters against the ruling fear that one day it could be Dutroux himself who walks free.
"He is convinced [that will happen] and believes that he too deserves a chance to be reintegrated into society," Dutroux's lawyer Ronny Baudewijn said on Tuesday, according to AFP.
Football's world governing body Fifa said in a statement it had taken the action "as a result of the non-payment of an outstanding debt".
Fifa added that Zimbabwe's Football Association (Zifa) failed to make the payments despite a grace period.
Zifa communications manager Xolisani Gwesela told BBC Sport that the body would appeal against the ruling.
"We have already started to engage authorities in Zurich," he said. "In any process you can appeal - just because a ruling has been declared, it doesn't mean the door has been closed."
Zimbabwe, who have never qualified for a World Cup, have to act quickly because the draw for the African zone qualifiers for the tournament in Russia will take place in July, with matches set to kick off in October.
Zifa is in dire financial trouble, with debts of more than US$4m (£2.7m) , and was recently forced to auction assets from its Fifa-financed training centre to settle a legal dispute with a former employee.
The financial problems date back a long way and when Georgini, nicknamed Valinhos, was appointed in 2008 it was announced that the Brazilian's salary would be paid by the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority as part of a 2010 World Cup memorandum of understanding between the tourism body and Zifa.
It is understood that Valinhos is owed $67,000 (£45,000) in salary and allowances from his spell as coach between January and November 2008.
Zifa CEO Jonathan Mashingaidze told BBC Sport he "does not see why we have been kicked out of the World Cup, the debt is still there anyway".
He added: "We've been liaising with Fifa and asking for a payment plan. We assume full responsibility of the debt, but the queue is pretty long.
"There are also former national team coaches Tom Saintfiet and Sunday Chidzambwa, and we owe money to banks."
Councillors have agreed to formally publish the plans and adopt them as a flood protection scheme.
The cost of the project has risen to £25m from previous estimates of between £15m and £17.8m.
The Scottish government would meet 80% of the bill with Dumfries and Galloway Council required to find the remaining figure of about £5m.
The plans have faced criticism over the loss of river views and a reduction in car parking spaces.
However, the council said it had tried to address those and the investment would provide flood protection and create a "high quality public open space".
The man dialled 999 on a mobile phone, was put through to Essex Police and was heard shouting "Basildon, near petrol garage, help me".
The call cut out but other 999 calls were made as people heard a man screaming for help inside the Eastgate petrol station at about 04:35 BST.
A man in his 40s was treated for leg injuries and arrested.
Police officers, Asda security staff, a fire crew and paramedics went to the garage to help free the man, who was taken to hospital.
If Sir Howard Davies was in any doubt about the strength of feeling against a third runway at Heathrow, he will have seen it yesterday.
Just an hour or so after the recommendations and MPs were on College Green condemning the environmental impact. The well orchestrated anti-campaign Stop Heathrow Expansion descended on Harmondsworth Village to talk to the media.
While those issues are just as pertinent today as they were in 2009, the debate has changed slightly.
This is a new runway. It has shifted a few hundred metres to the west. There is talk of legal limits on noise and on pollution (similar proposals were in Labour's 2009 runway) and there is a proposal to ban night flights.
Some commentators think a night flight ban is the game changer.
Not everyone thinks it could happen operationally but could that shift opinion? Could the airport expand within its existing environmental footprint?
And you may have got the impression from the media circus in Harmondsworth village that the whole of surrounding Heathrow is against expansion - but that is not the case.
Some have been worn down and want to take the compensation money and move on. Others want expansion and think it will bring jobs.
In the villages where many work at the airport, the subject splits opinion and families.
And another thing has changed; the business pro-lobby have got more organised.
In 2009 you could struggle some days to find anyone to talk on camera about the economic benefits of a Heathrow third runway. Not yesterday, as business groups also orchestrated their pro campaign.
And locally now there is Back Heathrow - condemned as "astroturfers" (fake grass roots) and part funded by the airport - but a group that has nonetheless organised a local pro-business voice.
Of course, this is a political decision and one that politicians have wrestled with since 1968. And there is an argument that the political structures of a devolved Mayor of London means you are always going to get a strong anti-lobby. Would a pro-expansion Mayor of London ever be elected?
History says not - but yesterday David Lammy, one of Labour's Mayoral candidates, welcomed expansion at Heathrow.
These are all small changes. Yes it was a bit like Groundhog Day yesterday but there have been subtle shifts since 2009.
This will support a plan to provide school places for a million refugees.
The funding has come from the European Union and donors in the Gulf.
Unless refugee families have access to education for their children, Mr Brown said "the death voyages to Europe will not fall but soar".
Refugees are typically away from their own homes for over a decade, Mr Brown said.
It can mean young people missing out on education, training and future job opportunities.
The lack of any access to school and the dangers to children in camps have helped to drive refugees towards Europe, said Mr Brown.
"Unless we can provide chances for children, every day new families will decide the only hope for their children's future is to leave for Europe," he added.
The rate of child marriage among Syrian refugee girls has doubled and many children are forced to work in the black economy, he said.
"To end the exodus and exploitation it is now urgent we agree a plan that will this year guarantee one million Syrian refugee boys and girls not just food and shelter but the chance of schooling."
There are 1.3 million refugee children in neighbouring countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Turkey and Jordan - and many more displaced within Syria.
Mr Brown called for another $750m (£528m) to provide education for a million children.
At present, the UN says about 500,000 refugee children have access to schools, including a project in which schools in Lebanon are using a "double shift" system to increase capacity.
Local Lebanese children are using classrooms in the morning and refugee children later in the day.
But it means that a majority of refugee children remain out of school and without international intervention and many young people "may reach adulthood without ever enjoying their first day at school", said Mr Brown
The 86-year-old former astronaut was visiting Antarctica in a tourist group and was evacuated to the US Antarctic Program's research centre.
The White Desert tour company said Mr Aldrin was stable under the care of a doctor.
The evacuation flight was provided by the National Science Foundation who said Mr Aldrin was "ailing".
In a statement on their website, White Desert said Mr Aldrin's condition had "deteriorated". They said Mr Aldrin was evacuated as a "precaution" and had been "accompanied by a member of his team".
Mr Aldrin had tweeted about the tour just a few days earlier.
On Sunday he joked, in a tweet that he might be underdressed for the cold.
The former astronaut was part of the Apollo 11 mission which was the first space trip that sent humans to the Moon. During the mission he was accompanied by astronaut Neil Armstrong, who took the first steps on the Moon - Mr Aldrin followed minutes later.
Mr Aldrin has remained in the limelight in recent years, delivering cameo appearances in hit American television shows such as the Big Bang Theory, The Simpsons and 30 Rock.
In 2002, he escaped assault charges after punching a man who demanded he swear on a Bible that the Moon landing was not staged.
In recent years he has called for the colonisation of the planet Mars. In 2015, he spoke to the BBC's Radio 4, saying: "We'll lay out preparations up to that [going to Mars], in my mind we are doing it right now."
Dundon has been appointed scrum coach and will join an Ulster set-up that includes new head coach Jono Gibbes and new assistant coach Dwayne Peel.
New Zealander Dundon, 35, made 49 appearances for Leinster as hooker after joining the province in 2010.
Dundon coached All-Ireland League club Clontarf before joining Grenoble, where he worked as interim joint head coach.
This was following Irishman Bernard Jackman's exit earlier this year.
"Aaron is a very good technical coach who relates well to the modern challenges of the scrum," said Kiss.
"He will also be a resource for our line out throwers and will assist with our skill development.
"He has worked under some of the best coaches in the game, such as Greg Feek, Joe Schmidt, Matt O'Connor, Leo Cullen and Bernard Jackman.
"He has an astute analytical brain and I'm excited to see him working alongside Jono in building on our forwards game, especially with our young front row players such as Kyle McCall and Ross Kane."
Dundon, who worked with Gibbes during his time at Leinster, described his move to Ulster as a "fantastic opportunity".
"I'm enthusiastic about where we can take the club and am looking forward to getting started in pre-season."
Gibbes and Peel join the Ulster coaching team after the departures of Neil Doak and Allen Clarke while Kiss has retained Niall Malone in his video analysis and skills development capacity.
Fowler started the day two clear but that was cut to one when Belgian playing partner Pieters birdied the last for a five-under-par 67.
However, the world number six kept his nerve to hole a par putt for victory.
He finished on 16 under after a final-round 68, while Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy tied for third alongside Sweden's Henrik Stenson.
World number three McIlroy, playing in his first European Tour event of the year, had threatened late on with an eagle on the last helping him to a four-under-par round of 68.
Meanwhile, a challenge from England's Ian Poulter failed to materialise as he mixed three birdies with three bogeys to finish seven shots back.
A former athlete has alleged, in details issued through her lawyers, that Darrell Bunn groomed her when she was 16, and then sexually abused her.
The athlete, now in her 30s and unable to be named for legal reasons, said she complained to UKA in 2003.
After an investigation, Bunn was allowed to continue working in sport, supervised when coaching under-18s.
In a written statement, UKA told Press Association Sport it denied any "cover-up" over the claims, and said it "takes allegations of abuse by coaches extremely seriously and the welfare of all children involved in athletics is paramount".
At the time of the allegation, Bunn, who was also a PE teacher, had already coached former Olympic champion Denise Lewis and would go on to work with another Olympic gold medallist, Jessica Ennis-Hill.
In 2014, he was given a two-year suspended sentence for abducting and indecently assaulting a 15-year-old female athlete in the 1980s. He only avoided prison because he had cancer.
There is no suggestion he abused Ennis-Hill or Lewis, or that either had any connection to his offences.
Richard Scorer, a specialist abuse lawyer at the complainant's law firm, Slater and Gordon, told Press Association Sport: "The failure to take our client's allegations seriously and then allowing Bunn to carry on coaching at the highest level for the next 10 years is nothing short of a cover-up."
In a statement, issued via her lawyers, the former athlete said: "It seems to me that (UKA) would simply like this all to go away as they did when I complained 13 years ago."
Children's charity the NSPCC said on Thursday that more than 860 people had called its dedicated football hotline, set up a week ago after several former players alleged past abuse by coaches.
Tsatevich won a two-man sprint but an intriguing race for the overall victory was unfolding behind.
Britain's Chris Froome, who started the day in eighth place, 46 seconds adrift, tried to attack and briefly went clear.
However, he was caught as Quintana won by seven seconds from Alberto Contador in a race that featured the majority of this year's Tour de France contenders.
Froome, Quintana and Contador all finished together, 14 seconds behind Katusha rider Tsatevich, who outsprinted Primoz Roglic of the LottoNL team.
Ireland's Dan Martin, the 2013 winner, finished third overall, 17 seconds behind Quintana and on the same time as defending champion Richie Porte of Australia.
Quintana, who took the lead at the end of the fourth stage of the week-long race in Spain, said: "There's a lot of emotion to have been able to beat my rivals. It gives me confidence that we are working well."

The advertisement featured young people and adults using empty or full tins to make the rhythm of a song, with the catchline "#Learn the CanSong".
The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that mistakes might be made that could lead to people cutting their hands or fingers.
Kraft Heinz denied that the advertising campaign posed a risk.
Three viewers complained that the TV advert could encourage unsafe practice and six believed it featured behaviour that could be dangerous for children to copy.

The ASA said it was unlikely that consumers would be as proficient as the actors at flipping and twirling the cans around.
But it said that mistakes might be made with an empty can, given the manoeuvres required and the lack of instructions.
"For the reasons given and because the ad did not include information on how to ensure consumer safety when recreating the song, we concluded that the ad condoned and encouraged behaviour that prejudiced health or safety," the decision continued.
"We told Heinz to ensure that future ads did not condone or encourage behaviour that prejudiced health and safety, including behaviour that could be dangerous for children to emulate, for example by featuring open tin cans being used to play music."
The ASA ordered Heinz not to broadcast the advert again in its current form.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said it would not contradict the ruling, but its chairman Martin Temple said: "It does look like the term health and safety has been used incorrectly here".
He added: "We would hope the public realise there are absolutely no regulations preventing children from playing with empty sealed tin cans.
"One thing kids never lack is imagination to invent their own games with the simplest of props. Obviously if a child is playing with a jagged edge on a tin container there is a risk of injury, but we would hope parents manage that risk."
Heinz said its online tutorials on social media included taping the ends of an empty can as an extra precaution, and at no time did it show people placing their hands or fingers in the cans.
It said safety was its number one priority but acknowledged the decision and confirmed that it had no plans to run the campaign again.
A spokesman said: "We believe this popular ad did not pose any safety risk and many fans were inspired to create their own video versions."
Cook led Pompey to the League Two title this season and has one year remaining on his contract at Fratton Park.
But it is understood that the 50-year-old, a former Wigan player, is on the Latics' managerial shortlist after their relegation from the Championship.
As yet, there has been no official approach from Wigan to Portsmouth.
Graham Barrow has been interim manager of Wigan since March when Warren Joyce left after four months in charge.
Kirkby-born Cook played for Wigan between 1984 and 1988 before a brief loan spell back at the club in the 2001-02 season.
After moving down a division by leaving Chesterfield to take over at fourth-tier Pompey in May 2015, Cook led the Hampshire side to a sixth-placed finish in his first season, only to be beaten by Plymouth in the play-off semi-finals.
This campaign, Cook's side achieved promotion with three games to spare, before winning the title on a dramatic final day.
Off the field, former Walt Disney chief executive Michael Eisner is also in exclusive negotiations over a potential takeover from the Pompey Supporters' Club, who have owned the club for four years.

Hibernian v Inverness Caledonian Thistle (14:00).
That is the first of 1,671 fixtures to be played across the second, third and fourth tiers this term, and we've picked out some of the key stories to follow over the next 10 months.
Fifteen Football League clubs have appointed new full-time managers since the end of the 2014-15 season.
Some, such as Crawley's Mark Yates or Chesterfield's Dean Saunders, are old hands. Others, such as Marinus Dijkhuizen at Brentford and Carlos Carvalhal at Sheffield Wednesday, will be experiencing English football for the first time.
Former England striker Teddy Sheringham was Stevenage's choice to replace Graham Westley, who left the League Two club in May following their play-off semi-final defeat by Southend.

Vastly experienced and highly decorated as a player, the 49-year-old is starting his managerial career in the quiet surroundings of leafy Hertfordshire.
When ex-Manchester United players decide to have a crack at management, questions about their legendary former boss are almost inevitable.
But Sheringham told BBC Three Counties Radio: "I can't try to be Sir Alex Ferguson.
"You only do what you've been taught. I've played for some fantastic managers. I'll take out the best bits of them and use them in my own manner."
Another new manager - apologies, head coach - to be appointed during the summer is Paul Clement.
Derby County looked almost certain to be promoted to the Premier League under Steve McClaren last term but, in one of the closest Championship promotion battles for years, they plummeted down the table and finished eighth.
Clement, 43, had assisted Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, Paris St-Germain and Real Madrid before returning to England.

"I'm willing to work at this level," he told BBC East Midlands Today. "I believe the club's got great potential. I want to work in the Premier League and I want to do it with Derby."
And, while his talent pool at Derby may not quite be of the calibre of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema, Clement has been allowed freedom in the transfer market as the Rams look to recover from last season's late collapse.
The club broke their transfer record to sign Hull winger Thomas Ince, while Andreas Weimann, Jason Shackell, Darren Bent, Alex Pearce and Chris Baird have also been added to the squad.
After such an expensive recruitment drive, Derby are unsurprisingly among the favourites to win the Championship.
Another Championship club expecting to be in this season's promotion battle are Middlesbrough.
They exceeded the expectations of many to reach the play-off final last season, only to succumb to a tame defeat by Norwich at Wembley.
Far from feeling downbeat about their narrow failure, Boro have made arguably the most eye-catching Football League signing of the summer.

Teesside native Stewart Downing turned down regular Premier League football to return to the club where his career started, joining from West Ham United for a fee that could rise to £5.5m.
And there is only one objective for the 31-year-old winger - finishing in the top two.
"This is a Premier League club and that's where it should be," Downing told BBC Look North. "If this was a team fighting relegation or in mid-table, it wouldn't be good for me to come back.
"They were very unlucky last season not to get promoted, and the manager's said if he can keep the squad together and add with the players he's looking to bring in, we'll be going for automatic promotion."
In a division that can be so difficult to predict, who would be surprised if Queens Park Rangers were to challenge for promotion this season?
Because, let's face it, there's never a dull moment at Loftus Road.
Charlie Austin apart, they endured a torrid 2014-15 season in the Premier League, summed up by the 6-0 drubbing at Manchester City in May that confirmed their relegation.
"The meek way QPR tumbled out of the Premier League last season suggested that a long, hard rebuilding job was required," says BBC London 94.9 reporter Nick Godwin.
"After see-sawing between divisions in recent years, QPR need a period of stability and continuity.
"Last time they were in this position, two years ago, Harry Redknapp relied on experience and Austin's goals to get them back up. It just about worked.
"This time, Chris Ramsey doesn't have the same resources at his disposal and the signings so far have been modest.
"It looks as though Austin will be sold before the transfer window shuts and that could free up resources for further signings, but the club's attitude so far seems to be one of restrained realism."
As if a 4-0 home win over Manchester United in the League Cup wasn't excitement enough, MK Dons earned promotion to the Championship for the first time last season, pipping Preston to second spot on the final day.
Clubs going up from League One have performed well in recent seasons. Norwich (2009-2011) and Southampton (2010-2012) won back-to-back promotions.
Just last season, Brentford got to the play-offs, Wolves narrowly missed out on a top-six place and Bournemouth - in their second year in the second tier - won the title.
Can MK Dons follow that upward trend? Well, manager Karl Robinson has one of the smallest budgets in the division and has warned supporters not to expect too much from his team.
"People are likening us to Wolves and Bournemouth - we're not in the same hemisphere as these teams," Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio. "We can't do what these teams have done.
"We're going into a Championship with a different way of doing it, but we'll do it our way. Our way is a way our fans know, and hopefully the football club can again turn one or two heads."
While MK Dons are experiencing new highs, Wigan Athletic find themselves down in League One just two years after winning the FA Cup.
Paul Rowley, who covers the Latics for BBC Radio Manchester, says: "This time 12 months ago, Uwe Rosler was contemplating bouncing back to the Premier League.
"But Rosler was gone within three months, Malky Mackay didn't last much longer, and chairman Dave Whelan stepped down after arguably the worst season in the club's history.
"When Whelan took charge of his hometown club in 1995, he said he wanted to see Wigan in the Premier League in 10 years. Most people laughed, but he achieved the task with bells on.
"A generation later, the mantle has been passed to his grandson David Sharpe - the youngest chairman in British football at the age of 24 - and Gary Caldwell, the Football League's youngest manager at 33.
"The task will be hard. None of the Wembley heroes remain. They've made 14 new signings but the wage bill has been slashed and attendances are expected to fall.
"However, with Premier League parachute payments still due for the next two years, the Latics will be better off than most at this level.
"And Sharpe has inherited the Whelan swagger. He told supporters during pre-season: 'I don't just want to win this league - I want to smash it and get 100 points'.
"Fighting talk, but is it realistic? Just remember, they didn't believe Dave Whelan 20 years ago and look what happened..."
If you thought Wigan have had a year to forget, you obviously haven't heard the tale of woe from Blackpool.
Protests against the club's owners were frequent and culminated with a pitch invasion that forced their final match of the season against Huddersfield to be abandoned.
Fifty different players represented the Seasiders in the Championship. They equalled the lowest-ever points tally in the second tier and were relegated with six matches remaining.
BBC Radio Lancashire's Phil Cunliffe recalls: "This time last year, Blackpool were only able to name four subs for their opening fixture at Nottingham Forest. Manager Jose Riga's transfer plans lay in ruins.
"In contrast, new manager Neil McDonald has worked briskly, and kept a low profile, to recruit a completely new squad.
"It's hard to gauge if players such as Brad Potts, Colin Doyle and Jack Redshaw can halt the club's decline.
"But, just like his predecessor Lee Clark - another Wallsend-born former Newcastle midfielder - McDonald is strong-willed and determined to do well.
"When Clark succeeded Riga last October, he inherited a team that was resigned to losing every week. McDonald doesn't have that same problem and providing he can fulfil his aim of instilling a winning mentality, the Seasiders could do better than many people are predicting."
It's a manager's favourite threat: 'You're playing for your futures.' Well for Yeovil Town's players that has proved to be the case - with 15 new faces arriving at Huish Park during the summer.
"The last few games left a bitter taste in my mouth and it did cost a few people their jobs," Yeovil boss Paul Sturrock said of the club's relegation to League Two. "They showed a bad attitude and I couldn't stand for that."

So how has Sturrock bonded his merry band of new signings? The answer - darts and dominoes.
The former Scotland international told BBC Points West: "When you sign 15 new players for the season, they don't know each other's names so it's quite important that they bond for team spirit.
"We took them to Columba for two or three days in a hotel there. We went to a charity night in my local pub and played darts and dominoes against the locals."
As well as trips to the pub, Sturrock has also turned the away dressing room into a games room, where his new arrivals have been getting to know each other.
"I'm working very hard on that side of it as it's important they want to play for each other as well as the club," added Sturrock. "Very few have played together before. Only five players were left at the club but it's been a whirlwind."

His name is Thanos, and he's one of the world's smallest breeds of the species.
Sadly, his mum died giving birth, so zookeepers are now raising him but little Thanos is doing well.
At the moment, he only stands at 19cm and this type of antelope normally only grow to around 40cm tall.
In the wild they are found in northeast Africa.
Take a look at Thanos and his wiggly nose.
Emergency services were called to a bungalow in Penhalls Way, Playing Place, at about 13:45 BST, after they received a package, police said.
Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service staff used breathing apparatus to enter the property and police and ambulance crews were all at the scene.
A police cordon was set up. No other properties were thought to be affected.
Although two people were left unwell, police said three people - aged 25, 30 and 54 - were examined at the scene by ambulance crews.
Chief Inspector Ian Drummond-Smith, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said the package would be sent off for forensic examination.
He said: "They did feel unwell. There were no serious injuries and no requirement for them to attend hospital."
Emergency services began winding down their operation at about 17:00.
After days of controversy when the company seemed unable to find its human side under layers of corporate speak and legal defences, Peter Fankhauser has now apologised to the family.
He said that the matter had not been handled well by the company since 2006 when the two children - Bobby and Christi Shepherd - were poisoned by a faulty gas boiler during a Thomas Cook holiday to the Greek island.
The family of the children have described the behaviour of the company as "appalling" and there have been calls to boycott Thomas Cook.
"First I want to say that I am deeply sorry about the tragic death of Bobby and Christi Shepherd in 2006," Mr Fankhauser told me.
"From the deepest of my heart I am sorry.
"It is clear that there are things that we as a company could have done better in the past nine years.
"In particular, the way we conducted our relationship with the family and this is something that we are going to change.
"We could have done better in the past, we are sorry for that. We are going to try and help them move on with their lives.
"We did not handle our relationship with the family well. During the past nine years we failed to show the compassion that we should have shown to the family. That is probably the main mistake."
I am told that Mr Fankhauser will now offer to meet the children's parents, Sharon Wood and Neil Shepherd, before deciding what can be done to support the family.
He said that he regrets saying that the holiday company "had nothing to apologise for" during the coroner's inquest into the tragedy.
"My words were poorly chosen and I regret that," he told the BBC.
"The hotel employees were charged with manslaughter and Thomas Cook was cleared in a criminal court in Greece.
"Those were the facts but I'm deeply sorry about the strategy. I'm incredibly sorry the way we treated the family during those nine years, not with the compassion they deserve."
He said he accepted the findings of the coroner's inquest which found that Thomas Cook had breached its duty of care.
"We accept the findings of the Coroner's court and what the jury found," Mr Fankhauser said.
Thomas Cook donated £1.5m to Unicef after it received the money in insurance compensation.
Mr Fankhauser said the donation was the right thing to do, despite the fact that Thomas Cook did not discuss it with Sharon Wood and Neil Shepherd before acting.
"We believed it was the right thing to do," he said.
"I believe it is the right thing to do to make the lives of many, many children better - and to put the money in the hands of a well reputed, totally neutral company."
I asked him whether Thomas Cook's legal advice had stopped it acting in a human way towards the family.
"I don't want to blame the lawyers," he replied.
"It's ultimately my responsibility how we communicate. Obviously we could have done better."
Some former employees of Thomas Cook refused to answer the most basic questions during the coroner's inquest after legal advice.
"It was their legal right as they are not employees of Thomas Cook anymore," Mr Fankhauser said.
"Those who are still the employees of Thomas Cook gave evidence to the best of the knowledge they could. We could not influence the former employees of Thomas Cook."
Party members and activists are gathering in Doncaster, with Mr Farage delivering his speech at noon.
He said there would be a "surprise" coming together of all anti-EU groups in the country in a "show of unity".
It was also revealed strategist Lynton Crosby's firm had rejected an offer to help one of the No campaigns.
UKIP, which is committed to Britain withdrawing from the European Union, had launched its own No campaign for the referendum, which the government has pledged to hold by 2018.
Now it is officially joining forces with millionaire party donor Arron Banks, who is behind The Know campaign - their relaunched campaign will be called "Leave.eu"
But BBC political correspondent Robin Brant says it is not the full team they wanted.
"I understand the man who helped get the Conservatives elected - Lynton Crosby - was approached and his firm offered £2m to work for them," he says.
The Australian was also approached by people on the Yes side, but he turned both down believing it was too early to commit to either ahead of the government's renegotiation of the UK's EU membership, he adds.
The UKIP leader believes events on the beaches of Greece and the border of Hungary have vindicated his predictions of "biblical" migration to an EU which cannot control who comes in.
He also believes his claim that so-called Islamic State would use the mass movement as cover for exporting terrorists to Europe is something that mainstream politicians are now repeating.
He thinks it has been "proven" that his party was "utterly right" on migration.
Most of all he - and the vast majority of the audience I suspect - will be relieved and very glad that it is him, once again, at the rostrum giving the leader's speech.
But there will be some in the room, and more beyond, who increasingly worry that Nigel Farage as the prominent face of the campaign to leave the EU could be holding UKIP back from achieving its ultimate aim.
Full analysis: Is the party coming to an end?
UK business vote on EU 'up for grabs'
The Eurosceptic Business for Britain group said it wished the campaign group "the best of luck in their endeavours" but would not be able to attend the conference "for scheduling reasons".
UKIP's annual conference comes after it won a 13% vote share - almost four million votes - in the general election in May, putting it in third place behind the Conservatives and Labour.
However, the increase in support did not result in any more seats in Parliament.
The theme of the opening day of the conference, which will run over the weekend, is the EU and Britain's place in the world.
It includes sessions that focus on the current difficulties facing the EU and the opportunities open to the UK if it votes to leave.
Mr Farage told the BBC: "Our conference will not be about me, it will not be about UKIP.
"It will be about the fact we're celebrating we've got a national referendum on our membership of the union - something that UKIP has striven for, for over two decades."
And he indicated there would be a "coming together of all the people in Britain who want to leave the EU".
"I've been told before that the Eurosceptics all hate each other, there are too many egos. Well, we're going to surprise you at Doncaster with a show of unity that has not been seen before."
The UKIP leader said winning the referendum and getting Britain's "freedom and independence" back mattered to him more than anything else.
"UKIP is not my priority at the moment. I might be leader of it but my priority is fighting this national referendum and winning."
Mr Farage said the ongoing migrant crisis and the "chaos" in the Eurozone had spurred a feeling among many that it was now "riskier to stay" in the union than to leave.
"So let's put aside our differences with people in the Labour party who feel as we do, people in the Tory party who feel as we do. Let's get together, let's unite. This referendum is now winnable," he said.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, UKIP deputy leader Paul Nuttall said the party would offer the "ground troops" for the campaign.
UKIP would be "going hell for leather" in next year's local elections, he said, but added the party did not want to wait for David Cameron's attempts to reform the UK's relationship with the EU to be completed.
"We believe that we should be setting the bar," he said.
"It's a bit like a high jumper - we put the bar up and we say to the prime minister 'attempt to get over that'."
Bond actor Craig gives a "chilling" portrayal of Iago in the modern-dress production of Shakespeare's tragedy, writes Diane Snyder in the Telegraph.
His villainous performance, writes Ben Brantley in the New York Times, is "embodied with gritty brilliance".
Variety's reviewer, meanwhile, saluted Oyelowo for his "fierce" Othello.
Sam Gold's production at the New York Theatre Workshop runs until 18 January and is already sold out.
A transfer to Broadway or London is unlikely to follow given its lead actors' limited availability.
Shakespeare's play, here set in a military barracks, tells of an army general driven into a jealous rage by a duplicitous lieutenant.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the result is a "visceral death match fought by actors at the peak of their powers".
Time Out's critic was impressed by Gold's "incisive, brutalist staging" and the "two ferocious performances" at its centre.
Newsday's critic expressed similar sentiments while highlighting the topicality of a reference to Aleppo in Othello's final speech.
Barbara Broccoli, co-producer of the James Bond film series, is among the producers of the off-Broadway production.

South Africa beat Wales 23-19 in the quarter-finals thanks to a wheeled scrum that saw Duane Vermeulen put in Fourie du Preez for the winning try.
Ruddock says not picking Adam Jones and Richard Hibbard for the tournament left Wales short of powerful scrummagers.
He said the exit "was based on the fact we didn't get scrum selection right before the tournament".
"We were without some heavyweights like tight-head prop Adam Jones and hooker Richard Hibbard in the front row, and we were really a bit underpowered in the scrum once we had replaced Samson Lee [after 55 minutes].
"I am a big believer in scrum power and that lack of power in that crucial moment enabled the South Africa boys to get an angle on the scrum to open up on the blind side, which meant they could get Fourie du Preez over for that try.
"It comes down to moments like that. If you're not quite on the pace, if you're not quite on the technical aspects of any area, a side like South Africa can take advantage of that.
"I would have picked Adam Jones, even to play 40 minutes, and then had Samson Lee on for the second half. That would have given us a much stronger scrum."
Jones, 34, retired from international rugby after being left out of Wales' 2015 Six Nations squad, while Hibbard, 31, failed to make Wales' final 31-man World Cup squad.
Gloucester's Hibbard has won 38 caps for Wales and three for the British and Irish Lions, while Harlequins tight-head Jones has played 95 Tests for Wales and five for the Lions.
Wales coach Warren Gatland started with a front row of Gethin Jenkins, Scott Baldwin and Lee against the Springboks on Saturday, with Paul James, Ken Owens and Tomas Francis their replacements off the bench.
"There were not that many scrums in the game, but every one of them is absolutely vital. That's what we can take from this World Cup," added Ruddock, who in 2005 led Wales to their first Grand Slam for 28 years.
"We can't be too harsh on the 'reserve' props, if you like, and they will have learned so much for the next World Cup."
But despite the loss at Twickenham against South Africa - who Wales have beaten just twice in 1999 and 2014 - Ruddock praised Gatland's side.
"Before the World Cup started I said you never can write off Wales, and the performance was full of courage, character and commitment," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"Gatland has done fantastically well, he's a quality coach and Wales are very lucky to have him and the rest of his management team.
"South African nailed it, we can't complain."
John Ness grabbed the woman from behind as she walked along St Leonard's Bank in the early hours of 25 May.
He pushed her to the ground and, removing her top and bra, placed his hand over her mouth and told her to be quiet.
Ness, who has two previous high court convictions for sex attacks, was placed on the sex offenders' register.
Following his conviction at the High Court in Edinburgh, it emerged Ness, a prisoner at HMP Perth, had also been convicted of attempted rape at the same court in 1988.
He was then convicted at the High Court in Dunfermline in 1992 of another indecent assault .
Jailing him for six years, Lord Glennie told Ness: "You have left your victim traumatised.
"It appears to me that you haven't learned anything from your previous convictions."

Scientists at Washington State University used speech recognition software to analyse differences in parents' speech patterns.
Mothers' "baby talk" is believed to promote bonding.
But fathers, who use a more adult tone with babies, may provide a "bridge" to the outside world, the researchers say.
The researchers analysed hundreds of hours of family speech, including mothers, fathers and their pre-school children.
Families wore microphones, and their interactions were recorded over the course of a normal day.
The research detected distinct differences between the ways mothers and fathers spoke to their pre-school children.
Mothers used a voice that was higher and more varied in pitch than the tone they used when addressing other adults.
"Baby talk", sometimes referred to as "Motherese", has exaggerated, attention-catching cadences, which are attractive to babies and young children.
Fathers, by contrast, used intonation patterns more similar to those they used when speaking to adult friends and colleagues.
But this did not imply fathers were failing to engage with their children, said lead researcher Mark VanDam, professor of speech and hearing sciences at Washington State University.
"This isn't a bad thing at all. It's not a failing of the fathers," said Prof VanDam.
He suggested the different approach could help children deal with unfamiliar speech patterns and acquire language as they grew up.
"We think that maybe fathers are doing things that are conducive to their children's learning but in a different way," said Prof VanDam.
"The parents are complementary to their children's language learning."
He added that although fathers were less likely to use "baby talk", this did not prevent them modifying their speech in other ways, for example by using simplified vocabulary or changing the volume or duration of what they were saying.
The research included only families with a mother and father who both lived full-time with the child, so it did not look at how the results might differ in single-parent families or those headed by same-sex couples.
The university says this is the first study to examine fathers' verbal interactions with their children in a real-world setting - most research has so far focused on mothers.
It is part of a larger programme to examine how fathers support children's language development in infancy and early childhood.
The findings have been presented to the annual meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. | Blood donation rules for sex workers and gay men are being relaxed in England and Scotland after improvements in the accuracy of testing procedures.

Michael Spurr was given the payment in 2016-17 on top of his annual salary of around £150,000.
The bonus was "awarded" the previous year when the chief inspector of prisons said many jails were "unacceptably violent and dangerous".
The Prison Officers Association (POA) called it "scandalous and shameful".
Steve Gillan, general secretary of the POA, told BBC News: "It's absolutely disgraceful that those who are overseeing a crisis in the prison service have been rewarded with performance bonuses.
"It's scandalous that they're being rewarded for failure."
In his latest assessment of prisons in England and Wales, released this week, chief inspector of prisons Peter Clarke said he was "appalled" at conditions in many jails and said there had been a "staggering decline" in standards in youth custody centres.
Justice Secretary David Lidington also admitted in an open letter that the probation system was "falling short" of expectations and that measures designed to support prisoners on release did not "command the confidence" of the courts.
The bonus payment is disclosed in the annual report from the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), which was published on Thursday.
Mr Spurr was chief executive officer of NOMS until April, when the government agency was re-named HM Prison and Probation Service, which he now heads.
The report revealed that in 2016-17 the 55-year-old was paid £145,000-150,000 and received a bonus payment of £15,000-20,000, along with pension benefits of £25,000.
Phil Copple, the chief operating officer and interim director of probation, Colin Allars, director of probation, and Ian Porée, director of commissioning, were given bonuses of £10,000-15,000.
Claudia Sturt, director of security, order and counter terrorism, was paid a £5,000-10,000 bonus.
The report said bonuses are determined by a committee headed by Richard Heaton, permanent secretary at the Ministry of Justice.
It said they are based on "performance levels attained" and are made as part of the "appraisal process".
"An individual can only be awarded a bonus if they have exceeded at least one finance and efficiency objective," the report said.
Mr Spurr, who has spent his entire career in the prison service, starting out as a prison officer, did not receive a bonus the previous year, 2015-16, though payments were made to Mr Copple, Mr Allars, Mr Poree and Carol Carpenter, a former human resources director.
The annual report also revealed NOMS "breached" government pay policy when it increased overtime pay to prison officers, trained to deal with riots, and raised allowances for other officers to address staff shortages.
The report said when the breaches became clear the Ministry of Justice submitted a business case to the Treasury asking them to agree to the payments, but it refused to do so.
A review into the pay policy breaches found there had been "failings in governance" but the payments still went ahead and are set to continue, the report found.
It also emerged in the document that all prisons in England and Wales are expected to become smoke-free by the end of 2018.
The phased roll-out of smoke-free jails began last year in Wales and the south-west of England and there is now a complete ban on smoking in 21 prisons across the estate.
It is understood a further 40 are in the process of going smoke-free this summer, with the majority expected to be smoke-free by the end of the year.
Earlier this week, the Scottish Prison Service said it intended to make all of Scotland's prisons smoke-free by next year.
Peter Clarke said the success of the smoke-free scheme depended on how well prepared prisons, staff and inmates were for the change.
He said one prisoner had been so desperate for a cigarette he had mixed nicotine patches with tea leaves and rolled the "tobacco" between pages torn out of a Bible.
Rovers, who finished second in the regular season behind champions Cheltenham Town, lost 3-1 to Grimsby at Wembley to remain in non-league.
They had won their first nine league games in 2015-16, a fifth-tier record.
"It hurts. It hurts deep. We feel like we have got unfinished business now," Carter told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"We feel we should have finished in top spot - that went. Then we just couldn't quite get over the hurdle (at Wembley).
"The raw emotion of it at the moment is complete frustration. You feel like you've let the fans down. But we'll come again."
Promotion to League Two would have made Forest Green's home town of Nailsworth the smallest settlement to ever host a Football League club.

Captain Aaran Racine added: "It's still an achievement to get here, but it's just gutting.
"Next year it's obviously got to be promotion. Whether we do it automatically or in the play-offs, we've got to get promoted next year.
"Every year we're progressing. We've got a relatively young squad still. It's all a learning curve for all of us. As long as we keep progressing each year we're doing well."
Meanwhile, the club have announced that David Pipe, James Jennings, Clovis Kamdjo, Delano Sam-Yorke, Brett Williams, Lenny Pidgeley and Dale Eve will all be released at the end of the season.
But negotiations are ongoing regarding new deals for Racine, Carter, Steve Arnold, Dale Bennett, Sam Wedgbury and Marcus Kelly.
And the Gloucestershire club have extended the contracts of Elliott Frear, Charlie Clough, Kurtis Guthrie and Rob Sinclair, exercising the options of an extra year on their existing deals.
Prof Annette Pritchard said Visit Wales is competing against others in the UK who are "far more resourced".
Visit Scotland spent £47.5m in 2013/14 on marketing and Visit Wales £7m.
The Welsh government says it is on target to exceed 10% tourism growth by 2020.
Prof Pritchard, director of the Welsh Centre for Tourism Research at Cardiff Metropolitan University, was speaking on the first anniversary of the launch of the Welsh government's tourism strategy.
She said the now defunct Wales Tourist Board had a marketing budget of £50m in 2006 - half from the Welsh government and half from European funding.
In 2013/14, Tourism Ireland's marketing budget was £36m. Visit Britain's was £36m and Visit England's £11m.
Since 2006 the professor says the decline in spending on marketing has coincided with "a decline in the number [of tourists] coming to Wales, particularly in the overseas market where Wales is much less well-known than in the domestic market," according to Prof Pritchard.
"I'm very surprised at the disparities in funding - I expected that the funding had declined but I expected that the funding would have declined across the board in the UK so we would be basically playing on a level field."
"But obviously we're not playing on a level playing field - Visit Wales is really competing in a very different market and all its major competitors are far more resourced," she said.
A YEAR ON, ARE PEOPLE COMING TO WALES?

This week Tourism Minister Edwina Hart told AMs the first year of the strategy had been very successful - with increased numbers of visitors from abroad, the first time since 2006.
She told AMs that the tourism sector had "seen a rate of growth above that needed to achieve the [Welsh government's] aim of growing tourism in Wales by 10% by 2020".
"Over the past year, Visit Wales has reassessed its marketing and launched a new campaign for the UK and Ireland," said Mrs Hart.
The Welsh government says the Have You Packed For Wales marketing campaign was already achieving its response targets.
She said the Visit Wales website has also been re-developed and is delivering higher traffic than ever before.
There had been 300 media visits resulting in coverage worth £35m.
The UKIP leader told LBC Radio that he supported charitable giving but believed there were "quite a few charlatans" in the sector.
It comes as questions are asked about the collapse of Kids Company, which received millions in public funding.
Mr Farage claimed "something didn't ring true" about the organisation.
The charity collapsed in August days after receiving a £3m grant from the Cabinet Office and in the midst of a Scotland Yard investigation into allegations of historical sexual abuse.
The closure came after ministers said they wanted to recover the grant - with officials saying they believed conditions attached to the use of the money had not been met.
Appearing before MPs on Thursday, the founder of Kids Company Camila Batmanghelidjh and its chairman, BBC executive Alan Yentob, denied the charity had been badly run and rejected claims of financial mismanagement.
But speaking on his regular monthly phone-in, Mr Farage said he had been "suspicious" about the activities of the charity, which was championed by David Cameron, Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, for a "very long time" and claimed 73% of its income went towards paying "inflated" staff salaries.
Its appeal to politicians and subsequent demise was symptomatic of a wider problem in the charitable sector, he claimed.
"There are lots and lots of people in what we could call fashionable charities," he said. "If the prime minister's wife thinks they are good they are fashionable charities.
"Everybody throws money at them and no-one asks any questions. When questions were being asked about the legitimacy of Kids Company, the government chucked another £3m in four days before the whole thing went bankrupt.
"The whole thing stinks. I am afraid, and this is true, that within the charity sector there are quite a few charlatans...I am not against charity, I give to charity but I am selective about the charities I give to."
Asked during the phone-in about his public profile and what impact it would have on the forthcoming EU referendum, Mr Farage claimed he had become the "most demonised person in Britain since Oswald Mosley" - the British fascist leader who was imprisoned during World War Two.
He said he had been subject to "appalling and untrue" attacks in sections of the media but he suggested the criticism of him was motivated less by personal feelings than fear of UKIP's policies and their resonance.
"What is really interesting is the percentage of the population that really don't like me is not particularly big and it tends to be linked to my genuine policy positions rather than my persona."
There have been calls for Mr Farage to adopt a lower profile during the referendum campaign amid claims that he is a polarising figure among the electorate and could damage the fight to leave the EU.
The MEP, who failed to win a Westminster seat in May's election, said the Leave campaign must be a "team effort", appealing to both the left and right of the political spectrum, and should not be "dominated" by any one individual or party.
"I may not be everyone's cup of the tea but what I have done is that I have taken a political party that was virtually unheard of to winning a national election... and I, with my colleagues, have managed to force a referendum and a change of national debate about Europe, immigration, grammar schools and many other areas.
"I believe the net effect of what I am doing is good for our side of the argument."
Business expert Prof Dylan Jones-Evans said Finance Wales has focused more on generating profits than developing the Welsh economy.
Finance Wales was set up in 2001 to lend money to or buy shares in Welsh companies, investing £31m last year.
The report asked if it was essentially being run as a commercial fund manager.
By Brian MeechanBBC Wales business correspondent
What is Finance Wales?
Is it a tool to boost economic growth or is it a bank?
Prof Dylan Jones-Evans's report suggests it's been too much of the latter and not enough of the former.
Prior to the financial crash and the bailouts that followed, banks traditionally operated in the private sector so their duties were to their shareholders.
Organisations funded by governments, like Finance Wales, generally had a wider remit to stimulate the economy by supporting firms and developments whether by funding, advice or both.
Critics of Finance Wales have long argued that its remit had become confused.
Over many years, bodies like the Federation of Small Businesses complained about the organisation having high interest rates.
The Finance Wales response was that the companies they loaned to were high risk and therefore the high interest rates were necessary and justified.
There's no doubt that many firms have profited and prospered from the organisation's support.
The Access to Finance Review sets forward a comprehensive plan for the future.
Prof Jones-Evans wants a new Development Bank which will become the "single source of public funding" for SMEs in Wales.
He believes that will offer a tidier and more focused approach to help SMEs perform their vital role in boosting economic growth.
Prof Jones-Evans, an academic at the University of the West of England, was asked in June by Economy Minister Edwina Hart to examine funding for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who faced difficulties borrowing from banks.
In the first part of his report, Prof Jones-Evans called on the Welsh government to clarify the role of its investment arm Finance Wales stating there "remains confusion" about its exact role, and concerns about its charges.
In October the first minister announced that SMEs in enterprise zones would receive a 2% reduction in interest rates charged on new loans from Finance Wales.
But the second part of the report, published on Tuesday, said Finance Wales was offering higher rates of interest on borrowing than it needed to under EU state aid guidelines.
Prof Jones-Evans wrote: "It remains unclear as to whether Finance Wales is still essentially operating as a commercially oriented fund manager in all but name.
"Given this, the minister may have a view as to whether Finance Wales is fit for purpose or whether the organisation needs to be taken in-house into the Welsh government so that it can focus on its economic development role for the Welsh economy."
Prof Jones-Evans called for Finance Wales to be incorporated into a new one-stop-shop operation called Development Bank of Wales.
In response, Mrs Hart told AMs the review had "raised important challenges for both private sector and government that need full and thorough consideration".
"The full scope of the professor's recommendations will require further investigation and a short consultation period will now open."
Opposition parties blamed the Welsh government for the problems highlighted by the report.
The Welsh Conservatives said small firms had been "ripped off" for too long.
Shadow Business minister Nick Ramsay said: "It appears that [First Minister] Carwyn Jones's small business lending body has been ripping off Welsh businesses for a decade by charging over-inflated interest rates in Welsh Labour's equivalent of the Libor scandal.
"Small businesses in Wales must be able to access funding at affordable rates to allow them to compete with firms in other parts of the UK and in emerging markets overseas."
Ahead of the report's publication, Plaid Cymru repeated its calls to establish a new publicly-owned, not-for-profit bank to lend money to small businesses.
Economy spokesperson Alun Ffred Jones said: "We need a new body, owned by the public but at arm's length from government to lend money to small businesses at competitive rates.
"Securing cash flow for businesses, particularly for small businesses, is key in creating employment and keeping the wheels of the economy moving.
"It is vital that our SMEs are able to access the resources they need in order to operate effectively and to prosper so that the Welsh economy can return to growth," he added.

Thanks to a spoof documentary sending up women's football stereotypes, we now know that the Norwegian team have a great collective sense of humour. But what about the personalities within the Lionesses' squad?
If you are just tuning in as their campaign becomes win or bust, here's 11 things you should know:
1. Defender Steph Houghton, 27, became the first woman to appear on the cover of Shoot magazine last year.
2. Goalkeeper Karen Bardsley, 30, conceded a goal with a ricochet off her face at the 2013 European Championships as England lost their opening game to Spain. According to her Linkedin profile, she used to work at Disneyland.
3. Forward Eniola Aluko, 28, has been high-fiving all the hotel staff at England's training base as punishment for mistaking France boss Philippe Bergeroo for her England coach Mark Sampson.
4. Claire Rafferty, 26, is an analyst at Deutsche Bank in the City of London. The left-back has ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament three times.
5. Midfielder Fara Williams, 31,was homeless for six years, spending her 18th and 21st birthdays living rough. In 2014 she became the most capped England international in history.
6. Jill Scott's main sport used to be cross country running. The 28-year-old midfielder competed for Sunderland Harriers, winning the North of England Under-13 cross-country title, as well as the Junior Great North Run.
7. Defender Casey Stoney, 33, has 120 England caps, an honorary degree at the University of Essex, and was number nine in the Rainbow List 2014, which celebrates the most influential lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender people in the world.
8. Midfielder Katie Chapman has three children, is training to be a beautician and has a twin sister who she played with at Millwall Lionesses. The 33-year-old recently returned to the England set-up after a four-year hiatus, which was prompted by a falling out with former manager Hope Powell over the lack of childcare support offered to players.
9. Liverpool fan Alex Greenwood has spent the majority of her career wearing the blue shirt of bitter rivals Everton. The 21-year-old defender joined the Toffees' academy as an eight-year old and played for them until she switched to Women's Super League side Notts County Ladies in 2014.
10. Midfielder Jordan Nobbs' father, Keith, played more than 300 games for Hartlepool between 1985 and 1993. Jordan is aged 22 and has 22 caps for her country.
11. Toni Duggan used to be a Morris dancer. No, really. The 29-cap forward confirmed her former folk-dancing past in a Twitter conversation with journalist Anna Kessel.

Sam van Tilburgh said his team had managed to identify the teenager and obtain some of his schoolwork, which it then published online as a warning.
The firm followed this up with its own threat to alert the youth's family to his activities.
More than a decade later, the stolen materials remain private.
Mr Van Tilburgh disclosed the affair at an event held by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Bafta) on Tuesday evening.
Others on the panel gasped when they heard of the unusual tactics taken by Lionhead Studios, which occurred before the developer was sold to Microsoft.
The events took place in 2003, at which point Lionhead was working on what was to become its biggest game: Fable.
"There was this little group, and they were called Kibitz," Mr Van Tilburgh recalled.
"They managed to get their hands on some screenshots.
"One of which was the hero of Fable stabbing a little kid through the head. It was never meant to be released for obvious reasons.
"But they managed to get their hands on more material unannounced to this day... and they threatened us, the community team, with releasing them."
In tackling the crisis, the Guildford-based community managers had one crucial element in their favour.
The images had been posted to Lionhead's own forums, which gave the staff access to the internet protocol (IP) address of the person who had uploaded them.
IP addresses can easily be traced back to a physical location through a variety of online tools, assuming the user has not taken steps to conceal the details.
In this case, the 16-year-old culprit had not taken the precautionary measures.
"We knew where the guy was living and managed to get a hold of the guy's high school record through a mate, including the poem that he had recited at his end of year [class]," Mr Van Tilburgh said.
"We wrote a public message as Lionhead Studios to the group Kibitz and we started the message with the opening lines of the poem he had recited in high school, and we included the landmark he could see from his house where he lived.
"And I said, 'You have got to stop this now otherwise I pass all this information on to your mum.'"
The move could have backfired and created a scandal for Lionhead ahead of Fable's release. Mr Van Tilburgh acknowledged that the studio's legal team was only told of the matter at a later point.
But he added that the risk paid off.
"He kept quiet and he was a very kind polite boy after that," he said.
"I met him many times after at community events."
Crown Resorts, controlled by James Packer, closed 13.9% lower after Crown confirmed 18 of its staff had been detained in China.
Among those arrested was a senior executive in charge of attracting high-rollers to Australia.
Most gambling is illegal on mainland China, and soliciting its citizens to gamble overseas is also banned.
But some firms have continued to market resort and tourism services where their casinos are located.
Shares in Asian casino operators Sands China, Galaxy Entertainment and MGM China fell about 3% in Hong Kong, while Australia's Star Entertainments shed nearly 4% in Sydney.
Crown said it had not been given any explanation for the arrests and had not been able to speak to its staff.
The employees held are 15 local staff as well as three Australian citizens - including Jason O'Connor, the executive vice-president of the firm's VIP International business - a programme aimed at bringing wealthy customers from abroad to Australia.
China's foreign ministry told Reuters that it had detained some Australian nationals for suspected "gambling crimes" but gave no further explanation. The matter is still being investigated.
Julie Bishop, the Australian foreign minister, said consular officials in Shanghai were offering appropriate assistance for the three Australians, all of whom had legal representation provided by Crown.
The husband of one of the local Chinese Crown employees arrested has told the BBC he is "completely dumbfounded" about why she has been detained.
He said his wife was questioned for almost three hours after police arrived at their Shanghai apartment in the early hours of Friday morning. She was taken away and he was formally advised of her arrest yesterday.
It's been reported that the arrests are part of a crackdown by the Chinese authorities on foreign casino companies who are suspected of encouraging Chinese nationals to travel abroad to gamble.
There is also an ongoing campaign to tackle corruption and international money laundering in China.
Profits from VIP International account for a vital chunk of Crown's revenue.
China's citizens are among the world's most prolific gamblers. Many used to travel to the Chinese territory of Macau, but since Beijing's crackdown on corruption targeting the flow of capital overseas, Chinese gamblers have looked elsewhere - and foreign operators have tried to tap into that market.
Last year, 13 South Korean casino managers were arrested in China on charges of offering Chinese gamblers free tours, hotels and sexual services.
Vitaly Umansky, an analyst at Bernstein in Hong Kong, said the detentions appeared to be a repeat of China's crackdown on South Korean casino marketing efforts.
"The Chinese government seems to be making a clear statement about its view on gaming activity being offshored to foreign jurisdictions, while Macau is not being targeted in the same way," he said.
The Church of Scotland and the Scottish Humanist Society have told MSPs the title "religious observance" in non-denominational schools is outdated.
They said changing the legal definition to "time for reflection" could ease the concerns of parents who withdraw their children from such events.
They claimed this would give more pupils the chance to explore faiths.
The groups have made their call in a submission to MSPs on Holyrood's petitions committee.
The law requires religious observance, such as assemblies, in schools.
However, since a change in government guidelines in 2005, assemblies should be aimed at children of all faiths and none.
The Church of Scotland and the Scottish Humanist Society argued that this now often means assemblies would be more accurately called a "time for reflection".
Their joint submission to the petitions committee states: "The change to a more equal and inclusive 'time for reflection' would echo the current practice of the Scottish Parliament, and bring legislation into line with modern views.
"It will also remove the current focus on 'religion', with which many non-religious people struggle."
The Free Church of Scotland said the proposal was a "disaster" for both Christians and children.
The Scottish government believes the current legislation and guidance is appropriate.
Only two are new signings as it stands, with Christian Judge and Toby Freeman adding to Cattle's existing personnel.
"Ultimately our main aim was to retain as many of these boys as we could," Cattle told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"That's what's maybe set us apart from some teams in the league, that we've been able to retain those players."
Aside from former Germany international Rob Elloway, who will retire this summer, Pirates have not lost any players for the 2017-18 Championship campaign.
They could yet make this season's play-offs, with the team two points below fourth place ahead of their trip to bottom side Richmond.
"There's always going to be a few casualties [departures] due to the player's choice or the club's choice," added Cattle.
"We're pretty fortunate that we have had that retention of players so we haven't had to do that big turnover like in the past.
"I'm really pleased to be doing that because it's pretty clear to see we've got a real committed bunch who really play for the shirt, so that can grow that bond a bit stronger."
He replaces his party colleague Arlene Foster, who held the finance job until she became first minister on Monday after Peter Robinson stepped down.
Mr Storey, who held the social development portfolio, will be replaced by Lord Morrow.
Mr Storey said he took the responsibility of managing the public finances "very seriously".
"I do not underestimate the challenge ahead with tight budgets and greater demands on our public services but I am determined to do my bit to improve services, raise productivity and reduce costs in the public sector," he said.
The finance minister said he would continue the work already under way to ensure that the rate and date set for corporation tax could be devolved from April 2018.
Mrs Foster had been expected to name a replacement rather than carry out a full ministerial reshuffle.
One reason given was that the Northern Ireland Assembly will break up in March to allow an election campaign to begin.
Downing Street released a statement on Tuesday to say that Prime Minister David Cameron had phoned Mrs Foster to congratulate her on her appointment.
"The prime minister reflected on the milestone of the first female first minister being appointed, as well as the ministerial experience and excellent working relationships which Mrs Foster will bring to the role," the statement said.
"Mrs Foster and the prime minister agreed on the importance of implementing the Fresh Start and Stormont House agreements and the executive being able to focus on the economic issues which affect the everyday lives of people in Northern Ireland.
"The first minister and the prime minister agreed to maintain a close working relationship and regular dialogue to ensure progress in building a more prosperous and shared future for the people of Northern Ireland."
The CSeries is a narrow-bodied passenger jet.
It is due to come into service next year, three years late and £1.2bn over budget. Airbus and Bombardier said the talks had now ended without agreement.
Bombardier is based in Canada but it is Northern Ireland's largest manufacturing employer.
Traditionally, Bombardier's strengths have been in business planes - it makes the famous Learjet.
More than 10 years ago, it decided to move into bigger planes and challenge the Boeing/Airbus duopoly.
It created the CSeries and there is a consensus that it is a very good, modern, fuel efficient plane.
The problem is they have not sold enough of them.
Bombardier wanted to sell about 300 by the time they bring them into service next year. They have only sold 243.
The project is also about three years late and it has run about £1bn over budget.
That has put massive pressure on the whole Bombardier company.
Bombardier is now clearly looking for a CSeries partner.
The talks with Airbus broken down but, it says, it is still looking at 'potential participation in industry consolidation.'
The company's balance sheet continues to be under pressure because of the CSeries.
Reuters have reported the firm is talking to the Quebec state pension fund about making a fresh investment.
Ultimately, what it boils down to is that they have to sell more of the CSeries and it has been a long time now since they have had an order.
The wings for the CSeries are made at Bombardier's Belfast plant.
Reuters had reported that the talks had explored if Airbus and Bombardier could set up a joint venture to spin-off the CSeries project.
The CSeries problems has made it a very challenging two years for Bombardier.
There has been an overhaul in its top management team and even speculation that the entire commercial aircraft division could be put up for sale.
Production of smaller Bombardier jets has also been cut back causing jobs to be lost.
About 800 jobs in Belfast have gone within the past year, mostly among its contractor labour force.
The speed-limiting tech can be activated via the steering wheel and briefly overridden by pressing firmly on the accelerator.
The car company suggests the facility will help drivers avoid fines and could reduce the number of accidents.
However, one expert said the innovation might only serve as a "stopgap".
"There's a plan for speed restrictions to be beamed to your car's computer systems and controlled from there, rather than requiring street sign visual recognition systems," said Paul Newton, an automotive industry analyst at the IHS consultancy.
"This would be part an extension of the networks that will connect vehicles, allowing cars to warn those behind them if they are slowing down, which is all part of a move toward autonomous vehicles that drive themselves."
Such a system, however, is some way off.
Ford's technology will become available to the public this August, when it launches the second generation of its S-Max cars in Europe.
A spokesman for the US car company told the BBC the facility would probably be extended to other models around the world.
The system, which is called the Intelligent Speed Limiter, combines two existing technologies already fitted to many cars:
Drivers will be able to set the new system to let them speed at up to 5mph (8km/h) beyond the detected limit.
While some motorists might still resist the idea of giving up control to their vehicle, Ford suggested others would appreciate the convenience and safety on offer.
"Drivers are not always conscious of speeding... sometimes only becoming aware they were going too fast when they receive a fine in the mail or are pulled over by law enforcement," said Stefan Kappes, a safety supervisor at Ford.
"Intelligent Speed Limiter can remove one of the stresses of driving, helping ensure customers remain within the legal speed limit."
Ford noted that in 2013 more than 15,000 drivers in the UK had been issued with speeding fines costing £100 or more and that a motorist in Finland had been fined 54,000 euros (£38,400) after being caught driving 14mph (23km/h) over a 50mph limit.
It hopes that statistics such as this will help encourage consumers to spend extra money on the technology, which it has not included as standard on the basic S-Max model.
Ford is one of several vehicle-makers to have turned to sensor-based technologies to help people drive more safely.
Cars from China's Volvo offer bicycle-detection software that applies the brakes if a cyclist suddenly swerves in front of its cars. Volvo has said it also intends to expand this to avoid collisions with animals soon.
Germany's Mercedes-Benz promotes its Steering Assist system, which prevents its cars driving too close to the vehicles in front of them and aims to stop drivers unintentionally drifting out of their road lane.
Japan's Honda uses similar technology to provide its False Start Prevention Function, which prevents a sudden lurch forward if it detects another object in close range, and makes the accelerator pedal vibrate.
Elsewhere, British computer-chip maker Plessey is developing a car seat that monitors the driver's heartbeat, which could give the car control if it suspected the motorist was having a heart attack.
Meanwhile, Australia's Seeing Machines has fitted an eye-movement detection system to several coaches in Europe that sounds an alert if it detects drivers falling asleep.
However, Mr Newton warned the rise of further intervention-based automotive technologies posed risks of their own.
"Removing the human element is one way to provide safety, but we know that computers go wrong," he said.
"I suppose there will have to be a point in time when we accept that computer-generated accidents and even potentially fatalities are part and parcel of the greater good. We'll never get faultless technology."
The items at Rievaulx Abbey, near Helmsley, North Yorkshire, are being displayed following a £1.8m redevelopment by English Heritage.
Objects on display include a half-tonne lead bar stamped with Henry's emblem which is all that remains of the abbey's roofs and windows.
Rievaulx Abbey was destroyed by royal command in 1538.
Other exhibits include medieval stone carvings, chess pieces and gold coins that tell the story of the first Cistercian abbey in the north of England.
Dr Michael Carter, for English Heritage, said: "Rievaulx Abbey is one of the most important abbeys in England and the setting one of the most beautiful.
"It was a place of huge spiritual significance for the country and one utterly transformed by dramatic upheavals under Henry VIII."
Rievaulx was founded in 1132 and at its peak in the 1160s was home to more than 600 men.
Many of the ruined buildings seen today were constructed by Aelred, abbot from 1147 to 1167, who became the most prominent religious figure of his day in England.
It was one of more than 800 monasteries closed by Henry VIII and his chief minister Thomas Cromwell following the reformation which severed the English church from Rome.
The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said Bristol Prison had fewer prison officers on the landings than last year and the situation had become "serious".
It also found the prison was infested with cockroaches.
But prison governor Andrea Albutt said new procedures had been introduced and in her view it was a safe environment.
The Category B prison, in Horfield, holds more than 600 male adults serving short sentences or on remand.
The latest report, which followed a critical inspection in 2013, acknowledged that despite "major budgetary cuts" there had been "improvements" in the induction process for new prisoners and the number of inmates in education or work.
But it said staffing levels on residential wings were at times "insufficient" to ensure a safe environment for prisoners and staff and wings were being "placed in lockdown" as a result.
"The new ways of working, the prison is undergoing, means there are less prison officers on the landings then there were 18 months or a year ago and this is having a direct knock on effect," said Dr Michael Flannery, chairman of the IMB for Bristol Prison.
"The prison is at bursting point and it's a serious situation and we are very concerned."
But Ms Albutt, a prison governor, said she did not "necessarily accept" the IMB findings.
"What makes a prison safe is staff-prisoner relationships and in Bristol we have excellent staff-prisoner relationships," she said.
"Last month Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons inspected us and consistently saw excellent staff-prisoner interaction and a prisoner survey that was carried out at the same time said that prisoners felt safe."
The IMB report also highlighted issues over frequent shortages of prison clothing and bedding, cockroach infestations and the cleanliness of some communal showers and toilets.
Paul Nicholl, 50, of Carnkenny Road, Newtownstewart, drank beer and took diazepam before the collision in January 2014.
Patrick McCroary, 62, who was travelling towards Strabane with his wife and children, died in the crash.
The rest of the family survived.
In victim impact statements read at Omagh Crown Court, the family said the loss of Mr McCroary and the injuries they suffered in the crash had changed their lives forever.
The court heard Nicholl had suffered from addiction his whole life and was almost two and a half times the legal drink-drive limit when the crash happened.
He pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving with excess alcohol and causing grievous bodily injury.
The judge said: "The people of County Tyrone are no strangers to the scourge of death on our roads.
"The McCroary family are not the first to be visited with grief and bereavement arising out of the carnage on our roads nor will they be the last, and we have had poignant reminders in recent times of the devastation such offences cause.
"I take into account the timely plea of guilty, the remorse, the lack of a relevant driving record and the fact that he himself sustained injuries but I cannot overlook the very high reading almost two and a half times the legal limit."
Nicholl will serve two years and six months in prison, followed by a further two years and six months on licence and was disqualified from driving for six years.
The Cancer Research UK team examined the brains of transparent zebrafish with a fluorescent microscope.
They observed that specialised immune cells in the brain seemed to encourage brain tumour cells to grow, rather than destroy them.
The research was carried out at the University of Edinburgh.
Dr Dirk Sieger, who led the study, said his team recorded the microglia immune cells interacting with cells from a type of brain tumour called glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma is the most common type of brain tumour and also the most difficult type to treat. About 265 people are diagnosed with it every year in Scotland.
Microglia usually "eat" anything that could cause harm to the brain, but the zebrafish footage shows them interacting with the cancer cells, helping them to grow and spread.
Dr Sieger said: "Looking at the interactions between microglia and glioblastoma cells, the microglia appear to be friendly towards the tumour."
"We call this 'nursing' because these immune cells really help and support the cancer cells develop."
However, the scientists also observed that the microglia in zebrafish brains react very differently when they came into contact with a other types of cancer cell.
The team looked at how these immune cells interacted with fibrosarcoma cells in zebrafish brains and found the microglia did start to engulf and break down these cancer cells.
The scientists hope their discovery can be used as a new way to test experimental drugs as a treatment for brain tumours.
Dr Sieger added: "If we can make a drug that can convert microglia's alliance, then we should be able to see these immune cells attacking tumour cells."
Dr Aine McCarthy, senior science information officer at Cancer Research UK, said: "Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive forms of brain tumour that is very difficult to treat. Survival rates are stubbornly low so more research is needed to find new treatments for the disease.
"This research provides some exciting new insights into how immune cells in the brain interact with glioblastoma cells. The findings could help scientists design and develop new drugs to help the immune system turn its full force on brain tumours."
The exhibition is due to visit 14 cities in the US and Europe, and will be made up of more than 600 objects from the Nazi German camp in Poland.
It will include a freight wagon, like the ones that transported people to the camp during World War Two.
More than a million people, mostly Jews, were killed at Auschwitz.
The items on show are not just the belongings of the victims - which also included Poles, Sinti and Roma and Soviet prisoners of war - but also items from those who ran the camp, the German SS.
The exhibition, which is entitled "Not long ago. Not far away", will have its first stop in Madrid, Spain, before the end of the year.
It says it aims to reach people who may not be able to make it to the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum, and act as a reminder of what happened during the Holocaust.
"Today, the world is moving in uncertain directions," Dr Piotr Cywiński, director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum, said.
"That is why we need to rely more and more on the strong foundations of our memory. Auschwitz and the tragedy of the Shoah [Hebrew for Holocaust] are part of those foundations, which cannot be bypassed in creating a new face of the world."
He added: "Nothing can replace a visit to the authentic site of the biggest crime of the 20th Century, but this exhibition, which people in many countries will have the opportunity to see, can become a great warning cry for us all against building the future on hatred, racism, anti-Semitism and bottomless contempt for another human being."
However, the museum has also been at pains to play down fears of trying to profit from the exhibition, which is being organised with the Spanish company, Musealia.
Luis Ferreiro, the company's director, told the New York Times the exhibition had cost $1.5m (£1.15m) so far, acknowledging they needed to "earn an income to sustain ourselves and keep the enterprise going".
"Our goal is to focus on larger social goals such as enlightenment and education," he added.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the Labour leader was "not going anywhere" and accused his opponents of trying to "subvert democracy".
Mr Corbyn would stand in any election if a challenger came forward, he said.
It comes as MPs are set to hold a vote on Mr Corbyn's leadership on Tuesday - although the result is not binding.
After another day of drama and further resignations from the shadow cabinet, Mr Corbyn and his critics in the parliamentary Labour party are locked in a stand-off over his future.
Mr Corbyn faced calls to resign at a meeting in the House of Commons after more than 20 members of his shadow cabinet and a similar number of junior ministers walked out, questioning his performance during the EU referendum and ability to lead the party.
But Mr Corbyn hit back, telling grassroots supporters from the Momentum campaign group in a rally outside Parliament to stand up for the causes they believed in - including social justice, economic equality and human rights.
"Don't let the media divide us, don't let those people who wish us ill divide us," he said. "Stay together, strong and united, for the kind of world we want to live in."
Speaking at the same event, shadow chancellor John McDonnell accused a "handful of MPs" of trying to "subvert" the party and challenged them to put up or shut up.
"Let we make it absolutely clear. Jeremy Corbyn is not resigning," he said. "We are not going anywhere... If there is another leadership election, Jeremy Corbyn will be standing again."
"The reason for this is that this is not about one individual. This is about the democracy of the (Labour) movement."
The BBC's political correspondent Tom Bateman said it was an "extraordinary scene" with Mr Corbyn, who was elected in September in a landslide victory, coming straight from the "bruising" meeting with MPs to the highly-charged rally of grassroots supporters.
Earlier in Parliament - responding to a statement from David Cameron on the EU referendum - Mr Corbyn said the "country will thank neither the benches in front of me nor those behind me (where Labour MPs sit) for indulging in internal factional manoeuvring at this time".
Shadow business secretary Angela Eagle, Maria Eagle (culture) Lisa Nandy (energy) and Owen Smith (work and pensions) are among the latest members of the front bench to resign. In the past 36 hours, 23 out of 31 shadow cabinet members have quit.
Earlier, his deputy Tom Watson told him he had "no authority" among MPs and faced the prospect of a leadership challenge.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said Mr Watson did not tell Mr Corbyn directly to quit as leader, but warned him that he faced a leadership challenge - and that it was up to him to decide whether he should stay or go.
Speaking after the meeting - which came amid an on-going revolt in the party over Mr Corbyn's leadership - a Labour source said Mr Corbyn was told by his deputy that "it looks like we are moving towards a leadership election".
According to the source, Mr Watson said Mr Corbyn would have to decide whether he wanted to endure a "bruising" internal battle before the prospect of a "very tough general election".
The talks between the two men were described as "civil" by a spokesman for the leader, but a senior Labour source said Mr Corbyn was left in no doubt he had lost the support of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
The source said the final decision on Mr Corbyn's future was a matter for him.
Several Labour MPs have cited the possibility of a general election in the next six months - following on from the election of a new Conservative leader - as the reason why Mr Corbyn must now consider his position.
Former housing minister John Healey, one of those to resign, said he had told Mr Corbyn he must seek a "new mandate" in these circumstances but the Labour leader "had failed to take the initiative and show that leadership".
And Angela Eagle rejected claims of an organised coup, saying it was a "personal decision".
"I think it's in the best interest of the Labour Party that Jeremy examines his conscience," she told BB Radio 4's World at One.
"That he leaves with dignity and know that he has set the party on a different path that will lead us to a brighter future but that he is not the person to take us there."
Mr Corbyn has rejected calls from many of his MPs to resign, despite a fresh wave of resignations by shadow cabinet members and shadow ministers. And on Monday morning he announced a reshaped shadow cabinet to replace those that had walked out.
The new shadow cabinet line-up includes:
Shadow cabinet: Who’s in, who’s out?
Shadow cabinet ministers to walk out on Monday also included Luciana Berger (mental health), Nia Griffith (Wales) and Kate Green (equalities). A slew of junior spokesmen and women, including former director of public prosecutions Keir Starmer, have also left their positions.
It comes after 12 members of the shadow cabinet quit on Sunday, including shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander, shadow education secretary Lucy Powell and shadow Commons leader Chris Bryant.
The walkouts - in a bid to oust Mr Corbyn - came after the sacking at the weekend of shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn, who told Mr Corbyn he had lost confidence in his leadership.
But Momentum, the campaign group that grew out of Mr Corbyn's successful leadership bid, has said 4,000 people attended a rally outside Parliament later to voice their support for the Labour leader.
And Mr Corbyn has also been backed by the Unite, GMB and Unison trade unions.
Conservationists said it was the first nest made by white-tailed eagles in the east of Scotland in about 150 years.
Officers are looking into claims that a tree containing the nest was felled on the Invermark Estate in January.
White-tailed eagles, and their nests, are protected by law. It is an offence to intentionally or recklessly damage or destroy nests being built or in use.
RSPB Scotland claimed the estate had been warned that eagles were nesting in the tree. It was also claimed the nest was lined with moss and fresh down.
The organisation said the loss of the nest meant there would be no breeding pairs of white-tailed eagles in the east of Scotland this year.
The last British white-tailed eagle was shot in Shetland in 1918.
But since the 1970s, the species (also known as the Sea Eagle) has been reintroduced to the west coast of Scotland.
Over the last six years, the focus has been on Scotland's east coast.
More than 80 birds, taken from nests in Norway, have been released from a secret location in Fife.
The reintroduction project is run by RSPB Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and Forestry Commission Scotland.
It has cost £452,000 to date, with funding coming from the RSPB, SNH and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Duncan Orr Ewing, of RSPB Scotland, said: "I was totally appalled and I think most right-minded people would have the same reaction.
"Here is a species that is being brought back as part of international conservation efforts, and we appear to have one individual or a couple of individuals who are undermining that conservation effort."
Invermark Estate has rejected the allegations, and insisted it is proud of its conservation record.
A spokesman said: "Any suggestion that the estate or its employees, who are highly trained and implement extensive conservation programmes, would jeopardise or disrupt species that have made this estate their home, is disputed in the strongest possible terms."
A spokesman for the landowners' organisation, Scottish Land and Estates, said: "There is a worrying trend in these matters that certain people take the irresponsible view that accusations can be made anonymously through the media, in the middle of police investigations, with the objective of hoping that mud sticks and an estate can be portrayed as being guilty until proven innocent."
In a separate development, Environment Minister Paul Wheelhouse MSP, told BBC Scotland he is set to introduce new measures designed to tackle the persecution of birds of prey.
He said: "Even those stakeholders who represent landowners and the sporting interests recognise that there are those who seem hell bent on ignoring the law and the clear will of parliament and the people of Scotland to protect our natural environment.
"We are reaching the point where we do have to take further steps to reinforce that message and ensure that while we don't want to punish those that are doing good things, we target our efforts at those who are clearly ignoring their responsibilities."

The Crystal Palace keeper has made a good start to his career at Selhurst Park and been unlucky not to have a better return for his efforts. However, against Middlesbrough the Frenchman was outstanding. Two saves from Negredo saved the day for Palace but it was his tip over the bar from Ben Gibson that was the most spectacular.
If the Eagles can produce the right service for Christian Benteke, and retain the £50m-valued Wilfried Zaha, then Palace seem almost certain to retain their Premier League status. Manager Alan Pardew's business in the transfer window has been outstanding. The acquisition of Mandanda, Benteke and Loic Remy has once again established Pardew's business acumen. If he were to get £50m for Zaha this season I suggest he gives up football and becomes the chairman of the Confederation of British Industry!
The move for Tottenham's third goal started in their penalty area and ended up in the back of the net. In fact Kyle Walker, who made this goal for Delli Alli, hadn't left the penalty area when Christian Eriksen made the break.
The speed at which Walker raced forward to support the Spurs attack was tremendous but it was also the ease and composure he showed when he gently stroked the ball for Alli to finish that really made me take note. I've seen Walker in this mood before and it bodes well for Tottenham's fortunes in the Champions League.
When I saw Laurent Koscielny sitting in the stands recovering from his European Championship exploits when his team-mates were in desperate need of defenders against Liverpool, it made me question his commitment to Arsenal's cause. This is a player with enormous qualities and they were perfectly demonstrated against Southampton.
You don't often see a defender execute an overhead kick as well as Koscielny did to equalise against Southampton. If he is going to have a day off in future he should try to make sure it's not a matchday.
When Pep Guardiola brought John Stones to Manchester City for a king's ransom, few doubted his judgement and quite rightly so. However, if the performance of keeper Claudio Bravo against Manchester United is anything to go by then Stones may prove to be more valuable than originally thought.
Stones had to dig the debutant keeper out of so many situations against Manchester United I started to question whether Guardiola understood that in the Premier League the ball can arrive in the penalty area at any time and from anywhere. It doesn't matter how good a goalkeeper is with his feet - if he can't use his hands, what's the point?
We all saw it. That wonderful reverse pass by Dimitri Payet that lead to West Ham's second goal. The only problem with moments like that is the media love them but they stick in the minds of pros who find such extravagances unnecessary and humiliating.
So I can only imagine the delight of the Watford players when they saw Payet in a heap after a perfectly legitimate tackle by Jose Holebas. In the same move Holebas went on to complete a proper humiliation by scoring Watford's definitive goal to complete West Ham's total demise. Now that's what I call revenge.
At last Adam Lallana appears to be enjoying his game under the Anfield spotlight in the same way he did when he set the Premier League alight at St Mary's with Southampton. We've seen flashes of his brilliance but what I detect now is a player who has come to terms with the weight of expectancy that comes with being a Liverpool player.
The England international has finally realised that he is no longer playing at the Adelphi Theatre every week but Carnegie Hall. In the past, I sense he has struggled with this notion but it would seem not anymore. Lallana's all-round performance for club and country this week suggests that the player is finally coming to terms with the demands of playing for a big club and might even prove to be its leader in the end.
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho didn't heed the warnings. The quality of Kevin de Bruyne's cross in the opening minutes against his side should have been enough to tell the Portuguese that De Bruyne had a score to settle. It was Mourinho who told De Bruyne he wasn't good enough at Chelsea and sent him packing with a career to rebuild.
De Bruyne has come back to the Premier League with a vengeance and tore the heart out of Mourinho's side in the derby. In fact, the Belgium international already looks like a contender for player of the season.
I must say I thought Son's first goal was a bit opportunistic but his second was a wonder goal. Last season Spurs tore Stoke apart by four goals to nil, looked full of enterprise and guile and got us all talking about how they were title contenders. Well, I have no intention of falling for that again.
Sadio Mane cut Leicester to ribbons. What excites me about this player is his change of pace. On two occasions Mane gave Kasper Schmeichel the impression that the keeper was the favourite to win the race to the ball and both times Mane switched on the turbochargers and left Schmeichel completely exposed.
There is a developing mood in the game that seems to encourage keepers to venture way beyond their penalty area in order for their defences to push high up the field. The only problem with that is it leaves the goal unprotected and the keeper looking rather foolish if it fails.
Recalled to the Spanish national team in midweek, the striker helped himself to two goals to justify his selection and another two against Swansea in the league in a pulsating game at the Liberty Stadium. The Chelsea hit man looks deadly in front of goal at the moment but still can't help causing mischief.
Pundits with a younger perspective tell me how much they enjoy the aggressive element to his game and, without it, he would be far less effective. What nonsense. The lad can play. Once you have that, do you need anything else?
With one Brazilian resting on the sidelines it was left to another to produce the goods. Philippe Coutinho will be the player who Liverpool depend on to see them past more difficult opposition but, in his absence, compatriot Roberto Firmino is very capable of holding the fort.
Firmino seemed to take great delight in putting Leicester to the sword. Meanwhile, the Foxes strike me as a team who have dispensed with the basic 'defend for our lives and then hit them on the break' attitude for a more sophisticated approach. The quicker Leicester get back to what they know, the better.
The show - which is presented by Chris Evans and originally ran in the 1990s - was briefly resurrected last year for a short series.
A spokesperson for Channel 4 said: "TFI was never commissioned as a long-running series so there are no plans for it to return."
Evans had previously suggested further series could be produced without him.
Speaking on the show in 2015, he endorsed Nick Grimshaw as a possible new presenter.
He told viewers: "I think Nick is the future of the show. I think this is good fun for us oldies, but if this show comes back he is the guy, he is the guy."
Evans would have been unlikely to front the show himself in the long term because of other presenting commitments such as Top Gear and BBC Radio 2's breakfast show.
Earlier this week, the Evans announced he would be leaving Top Gear, having presented it for one series after the departure of Jeremy Clarkson.
Writing on Twitter, the presenter said: "I feel like my standing aside is the single best thing I can now do to help the cause."

She described the case, in which she is accused of involvement in the deaths of two Russian journalists, as a "piece of rubbish".
Ms Savchenko could face 25 years in jail if found guilty.
The pilot has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance to Russia.
The case has soured already strained relations between Moscow and Kiev.
In the courtroom in Donetsk, in Russia's southern Rostov region, Ms Savchenko proclaimed her innocence.
"Everyone in this room understands very well this is not a case, it's a piece of rubbish," she protested in Ukrainian from inside a glass cage in the courtroom.
"Russia has long behaved in a hypocritical and two-faced way," she added.
"Its hypocrisy is represented by the seizing of Crimea and intervention in eastern Ukraine."
Ms Savchenko is a national hero in Ukraine, where she is seen as a figurehead of the country's resistance in the conflict with pro-Russian rebels in the east of the country, seen by many as a war of Russian aggression.
The two journalists were killed in a mortar attack last June, which prosecutors allege she helped target.
Her lawyers have said that she has an alibi, and had already been captured by rebels at the time the attack happened.
However, they say a guilty verdict is a foregone conclusion as the court follows political orders.
"Nadia Savchenko has prepared herself for any sentence," one of her lawyers, Mark Feigin, told journalists.
"If there is even one chance to get her acquitted through the publicity round her, then we will use it."
Charges against her were upgraded in July to "joint perpetrator".
There was heavy security at the court, with armed riot police on guard outside the premises and snipers positioned on the roof of a nearby apartment block.
Journalists have been barred from the courtroom. The defence argues the trial is being held in Donetsk because it will get less public attention.
Donetsk is a small town close to the border with Ukraine, not to be confused with the much larger rebel-held city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
Ms Savchenko insists that she was kidnapped and smuggled illegally across the border into Russia at the time of her capture while fighting pro-Russian fighters in June 2014.
But Russia says she crossed the border herself, posing as a refugee.
Most of the public seats in the court were occupied by Cossack militiamen, correspondents say, with the press only allowed to monitor proceedings by a video-link from an adjoining room.
However three representatives from the European Union, a Ukrainian consul based in Rostov-on-Don and Ms Savchenko's sister Vera were among those who were allowed to attend the hearing.
Ms Savchenko has spent more than a year in custody in Russia during which time she has gone on hunger strike for 80 days in protest over her detention.
Last year she was elected in absentia to Ukraine's parliament.

Stan, who has mental health problems, said he was conned out of "thousands" of pounds after members pretended to befriend him before asking for a loan.
Five people who targeted 10 adults who were disabled or elderly were given a jail sentence for theft at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday.
Another two gang members were jailed in January for theft, police said.
In some cases, the victims' homes were used by members of the group for drug dealing.
Police started investigating after members of the public raised concerns in March 2015.
PC Leanne Lowndes, from Cheshire Constabulary, said: "The difficult thing was these victims believed that this gang were their true friends.
"They relied on them and at first they didn't believe they were victims, which was a challenge for us and even more distressing for them."
The criminals were arrested last August when warrants were executed at properties in Blacon, Leigh, Birkenhead and Styal.
PC Lowndes added: "I was very shocked at the lengths that this gang went... to befriend and exploit them in such a cruel way."
The people who were sentenced for theft and conspiring to steal from a person on Tuesday include:
Hobden was found dead at a private property in Scotland on Sunday. The cause of his death has not been given.
Jeremy Green, the first XI captain of local league side Preston Nomads, said the news was "a massive shock".
"When he walked into a room, he lit it up," said Green, who felt Hobden could have played for England. "He was larger-than-life on and off the field."
Green said Hobden's "passing is unbelievably hard to take", adding: "Our thoughts go out to Matt's family and close friends at this really tough time."
Hobden was regarded as a potential future international and England players wore black armbands on day two of the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town.
"We had a nickname for him which was BMH, 'Big Matt Hobden'," said Green.
"He was certainly one of those guys who, although being a gentle giant, could still bowl you a 90mph bouncer.
"For a guy of 22 to have had such an impact is really testament to him as a person and really reflects how happy and joyous he was."
In addition to Green's sentiments, Preston Nomads Cricket Club issued a heartfelt tribute to Hobden.
It said players "felt honoured to be a part of his story", that they would "miss him terribly" and it is a "heartbreaking injustice" not being able to see how far he could have gone in the game.
Hobden attended Millfield School in Somerset and Eastbourne College. He studied business economics at Cardiff Metropolitan University before focusing on his sporting career.
As a youngster, he played for Glynde & Beddingham Cricket Club in East Sussex.
Aged 16 and nicknamed 'Hobbo', he was part of their senior squad as they became the first Sussex side to win the National Village Cricket Knockout Final held at Lord's in 2009.
"Matthew was often back at Glynde to cheer the club on and he will be greatly missed by us all," said a club statement.
Hobden joined Preston Nomads in 2012 and helped them win the Sussex Premier League title that season.
Within two years, he had signed a professional contract with Sussex.
"The first time he played for us, we were sitting around in the dressing room afterwards and I was speaking to the vice-captain and said 'we're not going to see much of him, he's destined for far greater things than playing amateur cricket,'" said Green.
"I have no doubt he would have played for England or certainly been very close.
"Whether he bowled 15 overs or had a hard day in the field, he still had a smile on his face at the end of the day.
"He just loved playing cricket and loved his life that went with it. It was his naturally sunny disposition."
Hobden took 23 wickets at an average of 47.30 in 10 County Championship Division One games last season.
"It was very noticeable what an absolutely beautiful bowling action he had," said Green.
"He was a big guy, huge, long delivery strides, almost effortless really.
"It seemed like he didn't have to put too much effort in... the ball just came out at 85-90mph the whole time."
But he also excelled with the bat, hitting an unbeaten 65 in a record 10th-wicket stand for Sussex with Ollie Robinson in April 2015.
"He was a natural athlete," added Green.
"His full-length diving stops, for a guy who was about 6ft 5in and 90 kilos, possibly heavier, was a phenomenal thing to see. I was quite shocked the first time I saw it.
"He was just a natural ball player. That came through as we always used to bat him quite high up the order. He had a couple of half-centuries for us."
Hobden last turned out for the Nomads on 28 August, 2015, when his figures of one for six, including two no balls, off seven overs helped secure victory against Middleton in their final game of the summer.
"I think they were slightly perturbed when they saw Matt rock up for us," said Green.
"The speed the ball was coming down at and the areas he was bowling were far too good for the batters. It was hitting the keeper's gloves before the batsmen had a chance to play a shot.
"What was noticeable for me was his willingness to still play amateur cricket while at the same time being a fully fledged professional. That was always a real breath of fresh air.
"He just wanted to play cricket because he enjoyed it so much.
"Even if he'd had a really hard week in the field and had been playing five or six days a week, he'd still turn up on a Saturday for a little amateur club like ours and give 110%. That was just the guy he was. It was in his blood."
The case concerns the deal underpinning the area's regeneration.
The harbour ultimately owns the land in the area and it is leased to Titanic Quarter Ltd (TQL) under a "master agreement."
On Wednesday, TQL's barrister said the agreement is not written in the "language of veto", but aimed at finding consensus.
TQL has previously said it was having difficulties advancing new projects with Belfast Harbour under the master agreement.
It described these difficulties as "the most significant impediment to the group's future progress".
A temporary exhibition centre was opened at Titanic Quarter last year, but a number of other projects have not been started despite having planning permission.
Those include two film studios which received permission in August 2014.
TQL and the harbour are asking a judge to rule on the correct interpretation of the master agreement.
Under its terms, TQL can bring forward development proposals for agreement with the harbour.
A barrister for the harbour, said his client's only obligation was to consider such proposals in "good faith", but could choose to reject them without explaining why.
He said TQL was attempting to "magic" a limited agreement into "an overarching obligation."
Lawyers for TQL said the firm has never claimed there was a "compulsion" for the harbour to agree.
However, he said that consultation on particular developments should happen with "a view to agreement".
It is understood that TQL also believes the harbour has acted in bad faith by rejecting some projects but the current proceedings do not consider that issue.
The harbour reject the claim of bad faith.

The chief inspector of England's schools, Sir Michael Wilshaw, has warned of a teacher brain drain as thousands seek opportunities abroad.
BBC News has spoken to teachers to find out why they decided to go and what life is like away from home.
Adrianna Boden moved with her husband Andrew from London to Qatar in 2014.
"We were both newly qualified teachers," she says.
"We had only worked for a year in London, but the toll of teaching there had already begun to take its toll. We were arriving at school at 7.30 in the morning and not getting home until 7pm.
"There was so much paperwork and data to go through every night. It put a strain on our home-life balance. We were exhausted by the weekend. We had no energy - it was so draining.
"We decided we couldn't do this any more, and started looking for opportunities elsewhere.
"We began applying quite late, as the ideal time to recruit new teachers for the academic year is from January to March. We started looking in May, by which time the only opportunities left were in China and the Middle East.
"The package we were offered in Qatar was good, and the pay is much better than in the UK. Our bills and accommodation are paid for, and the standard of living is superior.
"The cost of living was too much in London compared to our take-home pay.
"We love it here, and we are going to Vietnam in August, as we really enjoy the international teaching lifestyle.
"We never want to go back to the UK."
David Draper was a head teacher in Surrey. He recounts why he left the UK to work in Turkey.
"The pressure and workload were so much that I saw many colleagues suffer breakdowns.
"In 1998, after much soul-searching, I decided to leave and apply to schools abroad.
"I found a job as head of a British School in Ankara, Turkey. I ran the British School for nine years.
"I was then invited to open the first British School in Azerbaijan.
"I only returned to the UK last year.
"I recruited many of the teachers for Turkey and Azerbaijan. They wanted to have the experience of teaching, not spending their lives on administration.
"They were all excellent teachers who had largely come from UK state schools.
"I often heard complaints from them about running budgets, administration and the huge amounts of paperwork. Teachers are not bankers.
"It is sad that the profession is losing people.
"It can be difficult to move to another country because of the effect it can have on personal relationships and family.
"I did have to give up some hobbies and personal interests, but I had more freedom.
"The pay was about the same as I would have received had I taught at a private school in Britain but accommodation was also provided.
"With the number of new British Schools opening in countries such as China, I can see the exit of teachers from the UK only growing."
Richard moved to Italy from the north-west of England in 2009.
"I moved here with the intention of staying for two years and gaining experience that I hoped would improve my CV," he says.
"I just felt that I wasn't really going anywhere in the UK and I wasn't able to spend time with friends or family as much as I'd have liked to.
"When I did, I felt like I should have been working or planning, and even though I was involved in a number of activities such as football and amateur acting societies, I was always really tired.
"The schools that I worked in were filled with lovely people and great colleagues. It was just unfortunate that I felt like my career was stagnating.
"I suppose I am somewhat of an ambitious person so when the option of moving abroad was suggested, I was immediately interested.
"My first year was pretty difficult. I found it hard to really immerse myself in the lifestyle.
"Because of that, I spent time visiting other parts of the country. I also joined groups that were almost all Italian and focused on enjoying the new experiences.
"While working here I met my wife. My family is very settled here now and my parents love visiting.
"I don't know if I would ever go back to England. If I did, I don't think it would be as a teacher."

Lawro's opponent for this week's fixtures is Robbie Williams.
The former Take That star will be performing at the BBC Music Awards on Monday.
Williams says he has read Lawro's predictions - and made his own - for years and claims he has always "battered him".
They have officially gone head to head twice before, however, and Lawro has won on both occasions - on one occasion winning a side bet for some Take That tickets in the process.
You can make your Premier League predictions now, compare them with those of Lawro, Robbie and other fans, and try to take your team to the top of the leaderboard by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game.
Williams is a Port Vale fan and he grew up worshipping a host of 1980s Vale stars - and Manchester United midfielder Bryan Robson.
"I loved Bryan because he was Captain Marvel," he told BBC Sport. "I did Soccer Aid with him one year too and I was captain of the team and, as we were leaving the dressing room to go out on to the pitch, I thought I'd give them a big manly shout of 'C'mon boys!'.
"But before I could do that, Bryan did a shout of his own. He was on my side, he is my mate and he likes me - and I was terrified of him with this kind of roar that he did, which was primal.
"I remember looking at him, thinking that is why you were captain of England and the player that you were."
"The best player I played against in Soccer Aid was Diego Maradona.
"Myself and Good Morning Britain presenter Ben Shephard were next to each other and Maradona was coming straight at us. I shouted: "Sheps, Maradona left shoulder."
"It was another surreal moment in my life - I am on the pitch at Old Trafford, representing England in front of 76,000 and up against Maradona as he is bearing down on goal, and I am telling Ben Shephard to stop him."
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
Last week, Lawro got seven correct results, including two perfect scores, from 10 Premier League matches. That gave him a total of 130 points, his second-highest score of the season.
But it was not enough to beat comedian Tim Vine, who also got seven correct results with two perfect scores, for a total of 130 points that leaves him second on our guest leaderboard.

Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Robbie's prediction: United have dropped so many points recently by conceding really sloppy late goals. There is a lack of confidence around Old Trafford right now. Tottenham are scoring goals again and their defence is always tight so this is going to be tough, but I think United will edge it. 1-0
Match report
Southampton 1-0 Middlesbrough
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Robbie's prediction: Southampton lost at Palace last week but it was a bit of a freak result. Saints have a very strong backline that they will probably be losing half of in the January transfer market - good luck to them replacing them again, but they seem to do it season after season. 2-0
Match report
Liverpool 2-2 West Ham
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Robbie's prediction: I would like West Ham boss Slaven Bilic to do well because he is the rock 'n' roll manager but I think Liverpool are just going to have too much for them. Divock Origi to get a brace. 3-1

The Mexican, 24, joins Franco-Swiss Romain Grosjean in the team, which is based in Kannapolis, North Carolina and will make their debut in 2016.
Gutierrez was named at a Haas event in Mexico City on Friday evening.
The announcement, considered F1's worst-kept secret, was streamed on the websites of Gutierrez's long-term sponsors.
Talking about the sort of driver Haas were after, team principal Gunther Steiner said earlier this month: "Someone who has driven an F1 car, of the current generation, money is always important, because it costs a lot of money, and North America is a nice place for a driver to come from."
Gutierrez has been Ferrari reserve driver since losing his seat at the Swiss Sauber team at the end of last season.
Haas have strong links with Ferrari. They are using Ferrari engines, will buy as many parts for their car from the Italian team as possible and their 2016 challenger has been designed in Ferrari's windtunnel.
Gutierrez raced for Sauber for two seasons in 2013 and 2014, scoring a best result of seventh place.
He comes with significant financial backing from Mexico.
Born in Mancot in Flintshire, Speed began his career as a schoolboy with Leeds United and made his first-team debut at 19.
Speed established himself there during a revival in the Elland Road side's fortunes under Howard Wilkinson.
He won a Second Division title medal in 1990 as Leeds secured a return to English football's top flight.
Speed's blossoming career at Leeds was quickly recognised by Wales.
Manager Terry Yorath handed him his first cap against Costa Rica in a friendly at Cardiff's Ninian Park in May 1990 - only a day after Speed had played for the under-21 side against Poland.
During the 1991-1992 season Speed played a key role in Leeds United's First Division title win and featured in a midfield alongside Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister and David Batty.
Making over 300 appearances and scoring 57 goals for Leeds, he left the club during the summer of 1996.
A boyhood Everton fan who delivered newspapers to the home of former Toffees captain Kevin Ratcliffe, Speed moved to Goodison Park for £3.5m.
But his spell at Everton, where he was club captain, was a short one.
Everton were struggling in the Premier League and Speed moved to Newcastle United in February 1998 for £5.5m and within a few months he was part of the Newcastle side at Wembley for the FA Cup Final - only to lose to league champions Arsenal.
They returned to Wembley the following year, but Speed and Newcastle's FA Cup dreams were again dashed, this time by treble-chasing Manchester United.
On the international stage, Speed was by now a valued member of the Welsh side and played a pivotal role in their revival under Mark Hughes.
Hughes appointed Speed as his captain, and he skippered the side to a famous victory over Italy at a packed Millennium Stadium in a Euro 2004 qualifier in October 2002.
Wales reached the Euro 2004 play-offs but would ultimately lose to Russia and Speed, like so many Welshmen before him, was denied the chance to appear in a major championship.
In October 2004, in Hughes' final game in charge against Poland, Speed decided to retire from international duty.
Speed left the Millennium Stadium pitch to a standing ovation - recognition of his 14-year international career.
He scored seven goals in 85 appearances, and remains Wales' most-capped outfield player and second only to Neville Southall as most-capped Welshman.
Having played in the Champions League and with over 200 Premier League appearances for Newcastle, he left the club for Bolton Wanderers in July 2004.
He was briefly player-coach at Bolton before he joined Sheffield United in January 2008, making his debut against Wolves on New Year's Day.
Speed had managed to avoid major injuries throughout his career but a back injury curtailed his playing days at Sheffield United.
He began to concentrate on coaching as part of Kevin Blackwell's team at Bramall Lane.
When Blackwell was sacked in August 2010, the Blades turned to Speed, who signed a three-year-contract.
Speed had often been seen as a potential national manager and was linked to the Wales job when John Toshack left in September 2010.
United allowed Speed to speak to the Football Association of Wales about the vacant role of team manager, and he was appointed in December 2010.
He took charge of Wales for the first time against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin in February 2011, a game which ended in a 3-0 defeat.
Wales would lose their following two games - against England and Scotland - before Speed enjoyed his first victory as manager - a 2-0 win over Northern Ireland.
Following a difficult start, Wales began to show promise during the end of 2011, and Speed's first competitive win came against Montenegro in a Euro 2012 qualifier in Cardiff.
The national side lost narrowly 1-0 to England and Wembley before securing victories over Switzerland and Bulgaria to complete a disappointing qualifying campaign on a high.
Those results saw Wales rise 45 places to 45th in Fifa's rankings and their international year ended with a 4-1 friendly win over Norway.
With the emergence of Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale, Wales' future began to look bright under Speed's leadership, following years of underachievement.
Speed was planning for the start of 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign and attended a fixtures meeting in Brussels last week.
Football fans will share in the loss of a man who, having achieved so much as a player, was on the verge of more promise yet for his nation.
Currently scientists use the Turing test - named after computer scientist Alan Turing - which evaluates whether an AI can convince a judge that it is human in a conversation.
Prof Mark Riedl, from the Georgia Institute of Technology, is proposing a new test.
It would ask a machine to create a convincing poem, story or painting.
Dubbed Lovelace 2.0 it is an iteration of a previous Lovelace Test, proposed in 2001.
Named after one of the first computer programmers, the original test required an AI to create something that it would be incapable of explaining how it was created.
Lovelace 2.0 develops that idea.
"For the test, the artificial agent passes if it develops a creative artefact from a subset of artistic genres deemed to require human-level intelligence and the artefact meets certain creative constraints given by a human evaluator," explained Prof Riedl.
The artefact could be painting, poetry, architectural design or a fictional story.
"Creativity is not unique to human intelligence, but it is one of the hallmarks of human intelligence," said Prof Riedl.
Algorithms have already created stories and paintings although according to Prof Riedl "no existing story generation system can pass the Lovelace 2.0 test".
Experts had mixed feelings about how good such a test would be.
Prof Alan Woodward, a computer expert from the University of Surrey thinks it could help make a key distinction.
"I think this new test shows that we all now recognise that humans are more than just very advanced machines, and that creativity is one of those features that separates us from computers - for now."
But David Wood, chairman of the London Futurists, is not convinced.
"It's a popular view that humans differ fundamentally from AIs because humans possess creativity whereas AIs only follow paths of strict rationality," he said.
"This is a comforting view, but I think it's wrong. There are already robots that manifest rudimentary emotional intelligence and computers can already write inspiring music."
The 65-year-old Turing test is successfully passed if a computer is mistaken for a human more than 30% of the time during a series of five-minute keyboard conversations.
Back in June a computer program called Eugene Goostman, which simulates a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy, was said to have passed the Turing test although some experts disputed the claims.
The world number one beat her fellow American 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 to triumph in Rome for the fourth time since 2002.
Williams, 34, last won a title in Cincinnati in August, and has since lost finals at the US Open, Australian Open and Indian Wells.
She will begin the defence of her French Open title when the tournament gets under way next Sunday.
"I have tried to defend there once, twice, three times before," Williams said of the Paris Grand Slam.
"It didn't quite work so well. But this year is different. I'm going to definitely go in there and I feel more calm and I don't feel stress to have to win.
"I feel like I just am happy to be out here."
Williams showed the value of experience as she claimed her 70th career title in her 89th final - with Keys playing only her second.
Keys, 21, broke serve in the opening game and matched Williams for power throughout, but a loose service game allowed the top seed to level at 3-3.
Williams edged the tie-break, sealing it with a heavy serve, and raced into a 3-0 lead in the second.
Two poor games followed, suggesting the 21-time Grand Slam champion is still some way from her best, but she saw out the set and the match after one hour and 24 minutes.
"It feels great," Williams said of finally winning her 70th career title.
"I have played, let's see, US Open, Australian, Miami, Indian Wells. So it's only four tournaments. So it's not like I was playing every week.
"So that's kind of how I look at it. But it feels great to win a title, especially on clay."
It has been alleged her pregnancy was the result of rape and that she first requested an abortion at eight weeks.
Health staff have been accused of refusing to end her pregnancy until the baby was viable and could be delivered by caesarean section.
Under a new law, abortion is permitted when a woman is at risk of suicide.
Very few details of her case have been released, as there is a court order in place to protect her identity and that of the child.
It is understood the young woman is a foreign national whose immigration status in Ireland meant she could not travel freely out of the state to have a termination abroad.
Under the new legislation, she was assessed by a panel of three medical experts, including two psychiatrists and an obstetrician, who decided she was at risk of suicide.
However, the panel decided not to permit an abortion in her case.
The woman, who is understood to be very vulnerable, went on hunger strike.
The Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) took the case to the High Court in Dublin, seeking an order to hydrate the woman, which was granted.
Lawyers acting for the woman argued that her request for a legal abortion, on the grounds of credible suicide, was not granted in a timely fashion.
The baby was delivered prematurely at about 25 weeks into her pregnancy and the child will now be taken into the care of the state.
The case, which has caused widespread concern among both pro-choice and anti-abortion groups, is the first high-profile test of the state's new abortion legislation.
The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act came into force on 1 January this year.
The legislation was introduced to clarify the rules for health staff, following the case of Savita Halappanavar, who died from infection after she was refused an abortion during a miscarriage in 2012.
The Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) has refused to comment.
After all, this has been a summer unlike any I have known before. There has been a lot of angst, division and anger towards the England team.
The England and Wales Cricket Board handled the sacking of Kevin Pietersen and the fall-out from the Ashes tour so badly that a lot of genuinely-devoted England supporters felt they did not quite belong.
For the first time since the Allen Stanford affair, I came across fans who actually wanted the team to fail.
In that context, when England started the summer by losing the series to Sri Lanka and going 1-0 down to India at Lord's, the team found themselves at crisis point.
Would the meltdown continue and cost the captain his job, or could they stage a revival and justify all the upheaval?
As we all now know they did the latter, and that has to be a good thing for English cricket.
For Cook to go from the terrible troughs of Headingley and Lord's to lifting the Pataudi Trophy whilst being sprayed with champagne at a sunlit Oval represents a huge personal triumph.
I saw how low Cook was. I interviewed him twice a week and it was becoming really awkward to have to ask him the same questions about his form, the captaincy and his future.
If he had not been dropped by Ravindra Jadeja at Southampton, and if Pietersen had been playing Championship cricket and knocking out hundreds, who knows what might have happened?

But by the end of the series it really seemed as though England were a team again. They looked like 11 players who had gone through a lot but were revelling in coming out the other side.
Let's just hope that it really is the end of a divisive summer and that everyone can now get behind the team and accept that England have moved on in a new direction.
While young players like Joe Root, Gary Ballance, Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler all performed consistently well, the key to England's transformation was the senior players finally discovering their touch.
Cook was the one taking all the flak but he was being badly let down by some of his most trusted men. It was the bowlers who got it wrong at Headingley to let Sri Lanka off the hook, and the bowlers who wasted such a golden opportunity to skittle India out on a green-top on the first day at Lord's.
Once they remembered how to bowl on pitches that were always helpful to their skills, they simply blew India away.
People will point to India's pitiful efforts with the bat in the final two Tests, but that should not detract from England's achievement.
They were the ones who put India in that position and once you have a team on the ground you have to be ruthless.
The problem for the tourists was firstly that they allowed themselves to become totally distracted by the Anderson-Jadeja furore and secondly that they simply didn't have any time for players to regroup and find form between the Tests.
When you squeeze in five matches so close together, you are going to get cataclysmic results because there is no way back for a team that is on the slide.
That is something that the game's administrators will have to look at because one-sided Test matches that are over in less than three days is no good for anybody, least of all the paying public.
People will rightly be toasting England and pulling out the bunting but let's learn from this and devise a schedule that allows both teams to be mentally and physically ready for every game.
Jonathan Agnew was speaking to BBC Sport's Sam Sheringham.
Listen to Jonathan and Geoffrey Boycott review each day's play on the TMS podcast.
It claims it reinforces "privilege and disadvantage".
The report - Investigating Links in Achievement and Deprivation (Iliad) - was commissioned by the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister.
It has been delivered, but not yet published.
However, a draft copy has been seen by the BBC.
The study looked at why pupils in some areas of high deprivation outperform their peers in other deprived areas.
The three-year study was conducted by 10 experts from Queen's University and Stranmillis University College in Belfast.
Among its recommendations is "the ending of the current system of academic selection" as a key way to reverse educational disadvantage.
The report also said the current system is "high on excellence and low on equity" and that "access to the best education is too often determined by socio-economic status".
"The current system significantly favours those with positive family norms around education, for example, academically successful parents, and the financial capacity to afford, for example, private tutors," the report said.
However, it also warns: "Given the in-built and distinct advantage of a grammar school education and the significant political and lobbying influence of the grammar sector, opposition to radical change is expected."
The Iliad study began in 2012 and is one of the most detailed of its kind ever carried out in the UK.
It examines why children in highly deprived "Catholic" areas often substantially outperform their counterparts in highly deprived "Protestant" areas.
It studied seven deprived areas in depth: three predominantly Catholic, three predominantly Protestant and one mixed area.
It suggests that in "Catholic" wards, there are a number of factors which help children do better in education. These include:
"In several predominantly Catholic neighbourhoods, there are well-established, collaborative learning communities," the report said, "with Catholic maintained schools at the hub".
These factors meant that children in "Catholic" wards generally placed more value on education, had higher aspirations and self-esteem - and achieved better results - than their "Protestant" counterparts.
For instance, the "Catholic" Whiterock ward in west Belfast is the most deprived area in Northern Ireland, yet in 2012/13, 60% of pupils there achieved five GCSE passes at grades A*-C.
By contrast, the predominantly "Protestant" Tullycarnet ward in east Belfast is the 109th most deprived, yet only 43% of pupils achieved five GCSEs at grades A*-C in the same year.
The report also found a "Derry effect" whereby pupils in deprived "Catholic" wards in Londonderry were encouraged to value education highly, leading to better results.
The Rosemount ward in the city is the 44th most deprived in Northern Ireland, yet 91% of pupils there got five GCSEs at A*-C in 2012/13.
The report found that while there have been some rises, gaps in achievement between the wards have changed little in almost two decades.
The report also highlights "dissatisfaction with political leadership" as most pronounced in the "Protestant" wards.
It also warns of the "corrosive impact" of continuing paramilitary and criminal influence in disadvantaged communities, saying this creates "negative role models and many young people routinely witness individuals 'succeeding' outside the regular channels of education".
The report also includes a wide range of suggested reforms of the education system in Northern Ireland to attempt to reverse disadvantage.
The report was sent to OFMDFM earlier this year, but as yet, they are unable to say when the final version will be published.
Former Progressive Unionist Party MLA, Dawn Purvis, who was involved in a previous report on underachievement among disadvantaged Protestant boys, said people had to look "at the structural difference within the Protestant community and the tendency towards elitism within the grammar sector".
"We have to abolish academic selection, it doesn't work for Protestant working class children," she added.
However, DUP MLA, Peter Weir, who is chair of the Education Committee at Stormont said he did not believe there was a direct link between academic selection and underachievement among certain Protestant sectors.
"If you abolish academic selection what you will do is you will reinforce the power of money within education and you will widen those divisions," he said.
Lindsay Rimer, 13, was last seen at a shop in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, on 7 November, 1994.
Her body was found in the Rochdale Canal a mile from the town centre in April 1995.
A 63-year-old man from Bradford was arrested on Tuesday. Detectives had been given a 24-hour extension to question him.
Two canal workers found the teenager's body, which was weighted down with a stone.
Andy Glover, from Mytholmroyd, was checking for debris when he spotted something in the water.
He said: "We thought that it was a sheep. As we pulled it towards us, the body rolled in the water.
"There was no mistaking who it was, we saw the strands of hair on her face and knew we had found Lindsay Rimer."
Ms Rimer left her home in Cambridge Street at about 22:00 GMT and met her mother at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge.
The last known sighting of her was caught on CCTV 20 minutes later as she bought cornflakes on Crown Street.
In April, police said a new DNA profile had been identified which it hoped would lead them to identify the killer.
The gap between men and women's pay for full-time workers was 9.4% in April 2015, compared with 9.6% in 2014.
While that was the narrowest difference since the figures were first published in 1997, there has been little change overall.
Since then the pay gap has remained at around £100 a week, the ONS said.
According to its Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), men working full-time earn an average of £567 a week, while women earn £471.
The TUC said that, at the current rate, it could be 50 years before men and women have pay parity.
"Progress on closing the full-time gender pay gap has slowed dramatically over the last few years," said TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady.
"If it continues to fall at this pace, we're looking at nearly half a century before we have pay parity between women and men."
However, among part-time workers, women earn more than men.
In fact this "negative" pay gap widened in April 2015 to 6.5%, from 5.5% in 2014.
The pay gap also varies by occupation.
Men working in skilled trades have the largest pay premium, at 24.6%. However the gap in sales jobs is the lowest, at 4.3%. See chart below.
New legislation going before parliament will soon require companies to publish details of male and female pay.
Firms that employ more than 250 people in England, Scotland and Wales will be obliged to show average wage rates for both sexes.
The government hopes the measure will reduce the pay gap.
The ONS figures also show that average weekly pay for full-time employees was £528 in April 2015, up by 1.8% from the previous year.
After inflation is taken into account, earnings were up by 1.9%, the first real terms increase since 2008.
That was helped by the fact that the Consumer Prices Index fell by 0.1% in the year to April, while wages rose.
On an annual basis, the median amount that full-time workers earned before tax was £27,600.

The Resolution Foundation, a think tank that aims to improve living standards, said pay growth had been stronger for lower paid workers, and weaker for those paid higher wages.
It welcomed the return of real terms earning growth, but it said that wages were still 8.9% below their peak in 2008, after taking inflation into account.
It said it will take another six years for pay to return to that level.
And it pointed out that while pay has rebounded strongly in Northern Ireland and the West Midlands, real pay has fallen in London, the East Midlands and Wales.
Patients and staff at Furness General Hospital have had diarrhoea and vomiting.
Surgical and medical wards four, six and nine have been closed to admissions and transfers.
Visitors to affected wards are being advised not to visit with young children or if they have had symptoms within the previous 48 hours.
The trust has apologised for any disruption.
The closure would be part of a reorganisation aimed at rescuing the South London Healthcare Trust - which has been put into administration.
The proposals have been made by the Trust Special Administrator (TSA).
A TSA spokeswoman said the proposals ensure "health services are sustainable in the long term".
The proposals for Lewisham are part of a bigger plan to restructure the hospitals in south-east London.
Local resident Annelise Langmead said: "As a parent of a young son with anaphylaxis it is vital that we have access to local and speedy emergency services.
"I am just one of many parents concerned at the proposed closure of Lewisham Hospitals' A&E department.
"Lewisham currently have numerous new housing projects which will bring more people into the area, it seems short sighted to propose closure of services much needed locally."
An TSA spokeswoman said: "We welcome people expressing their views and are encouraging people to have their say."
"We believe that the changes proposed will not only improve the quality of care for patients, they will ensure health services are sustainable for the people of south-east London in the long term.
The draft recommendation related to emergency services at Lewisham is for the most critically ill only and the majority of patients who currently attend Lewisham for urgent care and treatment would continue to do so.
"Patients can be reassured that they will get the appropriate level of care they need for any condition they may have," The TSA spokeswoman said.
A spokesman from Lewisham Healthcare NHS Trust, which has not made the proposals but would be affected by the changes, said: "We welcome the support of local people, who share our pride in the trust's high quality services.
"Lewisham Healthcare will also be submitting a formal response separately.
"We recognise that the NHS faces pressures, and hard decisions will be made," he added.
"However, we do not feel that a prescriptive approach to service change is right."
The TSA's public consultation on its proposals runs until 13 December.

It's a question now being asked after more than 100 footprints from one of the biggest dinosaurs that ever lived were found off the coast of Scotland.
They were discovered by researchers on the Isle of Skye and date back 170 million years.
But how do they compare with other fossil finds over the last 200 years?
Newsround reporter Jenny has put together this, unofficial, run down of five top finds that changed what we know about the dinosaur world.
Bundled up against the biting wind, they stop under one of the dozens of giant telescopic dishes scattered across the moon-like landscape.
They unfold a stepladder and clamber up into the back of the dish to carry out routine maintenance.
Each man carries oxygen. At over 5,000m (16,400ft) above sea level, the air here is so thin it is difficult to breathe.
Flurries of snow blow across the plateau. The temperature is -5C, with a wind chill factor of -19C.
This is Alma, the most powerful radio telescope in the world and one of the most extraordinary places in Chile.
Perched in the Andes mountains, close to the borders with Argentina and Bolivia, it consists of 66 dishes, or antennae, of up to 12m in diameter.
The dishes can be moved across the plateau like pieces on a giant chess board. Each one weighs 100 tonnes.
The engineers use two massive yellow trucks to haul them into place.
Sometimes the dishes are placed right next to each other. At other times they are up to 15km apart.
Their positioning determines which part of the universe they point toward.
The dishes then work in unison, detecting radio waves from outer space. The waves are converted into data by a super-computer, as powerful as three million laptops, and that data is sent to Alma's operations centre down the mountainside in the relative warmth at 2,900m.
There, astronomers pore over it, using it to expand our knowledge of the universe and to make some remarkable discoveries.
"Just last year we found a site where a disc is being formed around a star, and where planets are being formed," says Violette Impellizzeri, an operations astronomer at Alma.
"It was so spectacular that even people here at the observatory were blown away by it. It looked like an artist's painting."
Ever since the age of Galileo, scientists have used optical telescopes to peer up at the universe, but such telescopes can only detect light waves from a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
They are fine for looking at bright things like stars but not so good for peering into the darker parts of the universe, like the centre of black holes.
That is where Alma (The Atacama Large Millimetre Array) comes into its own.
Scientists recently used it to measure the mass of a supermassive black hole 73 million light years from earth.
"It's the first time that's been done with such accuracy," Ms Impellizzeri says.
The telescope has also detected sugar molecules in a gas surrounding a young star similar to our sun. That suggests that solar systems other than our own might be able to support life.
And Alma has been used to look at binary star systems which, unlike our own solar system, contain two suns rather than one.
No-one knows exactly how planets survive in these binary systems. Logic would suggest that because they orbit two stars rather than one, they should get caught in a dangerous gravitational tug-of-war between the two.
They should get pulled out of orbit, sending them crashing into the stars or flinging them out of their solar system altogether.
But Alma has shown that these planets orbit around double stars surprisingly smoothly.
Alma is one of several giant telescopes being built in Chile's Atacama Desert, which boasts some of the clearest and driest skies in the world.
Altitude is also a factor in choosing to build here. As radio waves reach the earth, they get distorted by vapour in the atmosphere.
By building in the Andes, engineers can get above some of that moisture.
The Chajnantor plateau is a formidable place to work, but the engineers who do so say it is worth it.
"These antennae can detect molecules in other galaxies. It's incredible!" says Alma's project co-ordinator Pablo Carrillo, as he braves the freezing temperatures to make sure the dishes are working properly.
"The technology is state-of-the-art, but because it's so new it's susceptible to problems that we haven't come across before.
"That's why we're here - to fix them."
Items from a rare historical collection were taken from Biel House in Stenton some time between 16:00 on Tuesday and 09:00 on Wednesday.
They are worth a four-figure sum of money.
Police Scotland have appealed for witnesses.
PC Karen Hamilton said: "These artefacts have been in the museum at Biel House for many years and we are keen to make sure these are returned to where they belong."
Most papers feel the Test, which is played in all whites, is set to take a backseat as players get ready for the one-day international tournament.
India, Australia and England are set to play a tri-series from 16 January before the World Cup.
"The Test whites have given way to a burst of colours on cricket fields across the globe. It's slam-bang season," says The Indian Express.
The Hindustan Times kicks off its coverage with this compilation of the 10 best World Cup matches.
Papers also expect India to successfully retain its 2011 World Cup title in Australia.
"There'll be a lot at stake this time around as [captain MS] Dhoni & Co try to get their young team, over the next two weeks, on the right track hoping that it eventually becomes a path to ultimate glory for the second time running," the paper adds.
The Times of India remembers that India failed to win the cup in Australia in 1992. The team played the 1992 edition after a long tour of the host country.
The paper adds that India once again are set to play the tournament in Australia after an arduous tour of the country.
"During a long tour, fatigue and injuries are big factors, especially when the going gets tough," it says.
"These are issues the Indian side will have to battle on the remaining part of their tour of Australia as they plunge into the tri-series next week, after being involved in a taxing four-match Test series, and thereafter the World Cup," the paper adds.
In what some papers say appears to be a case of religious intolerance, two men vandalised a Catholic church in the Vikaspuri area of Delhi on Wednesday, reports say.
"Around 6:30 am (local time) when the priest arrived at the church, he found the glass cabinet mounted on the outside wall broken and the statue of Mother Mary lying on the ground," The Hindu reports.
A CCTV camera installed inside the church has captured the footage of the two suspects breaking the glass, the paper says.
"It was definitely planned and orchestrated. There is a clear pattern in all these attacks. We expect the police to stand with us during our time of crisis," said Savirimuthu Sankar, spokesperson of Delhi Catholic Archdiocese. 0
Despite the footage, the police are yet to identify the suspects, the Hindustan Times adds.
The attack is "the fourth such attack in a period of one month" in the capital, the paper says.
And finally, the government has reassured the Supreme Court that it would clean the river Ganges by 2018.
A bench headed by Justice T S Thakur asked the government if it would be able to clean the river in its current term, The Times of India says.
Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar, representing the government, told the court that "the project would be completed by 2018 and it won't go to 2019 when term of the government ends".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had pledged to clean the river in his poll campaign last year.
Locally called the Ganga, the Ganges is revered by Hindus. It is India's longest river and supports a third of the country's 1.2 billion people living on its floodplains.

Zhang Shupeng jumped from a helicopter 2,000 meters above the ground, before opening his wingsuit to fly along the 50-meter-long bridge.
He zigzagged to swoop over the bridge for about 30 seconds before opening his parachute to land safely.
The wingsuit has fabric under the arms and between the legs so that the flier glides through the air, as if he has wings.
A one-eyed, neo-fascist gangster called Massimo Carminati is accused of having run the criminal network. He will be questioned via a prison video-link.
According to prosecutors, mobsters flourished under Rome's former right-wing mayor Gianni Alemanno.
It was a Mafia-type network, they say.
However, the operation was separate from southern Italy's traditional Mafia activities such as drug-running and extortion, anti-Mafia prosecutor Alfonso Sabella told Reuters news agency.
Forty-six defendants are on trial in the corruption case, which concerns millions of euros allegedly stolen from city hall. The suspects were arrested last December.
Gangsters allegedly conspired with local politicians to siphon off funds intended for migrant and refugee centres, and for rubbish collection in Rome and the surrounding Lazio region.
The politicians on trial include:
Ex-mayor Gianni Alemanno denies wrongdoing. He is under investigation, but is not involved in this trial.
The alleged gang members on trial include two close associates of Mr Carminati - Salvatore Buzzi and Riccardo Brugia.
Like Mr Carminati, Mr Brugia used to be in a violent, outlawed far-right group called NAR (the Armed Revolutionary Nuclei).
NAR members were implicated in the notorious bombing of Bologna train station in 1980, which killed 85 people.
Mr Carminati, in jail in Parma, lost an eye in a shoot-out with police in 1981 while trying to flee to Switzerland.
The trial will move to a court bunker at Rebibbia prison on the outskirts of Rome after the opening session.
It is expected to last until next summer.
Last week, the current mayor of Rome, Ignazio Marino, was forced to resign in an unrelated scandal involving expenses.
President Ernest Bai Koroma said that Sunday trading would be banned and travel between districts restricted.
The president said that as Christmas approached, people would need to be reminded that Sierra Leona was at war with a "vicious enemy".
Sierra Leone has overtaken Liberia to have the highest number of Ebola cases, World Health Organization figures show.
The virus has killed more than 6,800 people this year, mostly in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
In his statement, President Koroma said the searches aimed to "break the chain of transmission".
He added: "Do not hide the sick."
The president said that while many districts of the country had made progress in fighting Ebola, challenges still remained in the western part of the country, which for the past two weeks had accounted for 50% of new infections.
He said that he was introducing an action plan, Operation Western Area Surge, to encourage people to come forward if they had a fever or other symptoms of Ebola.
He said it was necessary to introduce such stringent measures even though it was the festive season - a time when people would normally "celebrate with their families in a joyous manner".
The president also said that:
The prevalence of the virus in the capital Freetown is thought to be one of the reasons why Ebola is spreading so fast in the west.
Our correspondent in Sierra Leone, Umaru Fofana, said the measures were partly aimed at controlling crowds.
He said people in Freetown continued to gather on the streets or go jogging along the beach despite the Ebola threat.
This is not the first time that Sierra Leone has used stringent tactics to locate Ebola sufferers, but none have stopped the rise in infections.
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention head Tom Frieden told the AP news agency that "the fight is going to be long and hard to get to zero cases", and is heavily contingent on sick individuals coming forward to be diagnosed.

Fire crews found the group 10m (32ft) up the cliff face in a former air-raid shelter off Chalkpit Road, Portsmouth, shortly after 17:20 GMT on Sunday.
Crews used ladders to reach the stranded girls and brought them down one by one.
The girls, who were all rescued uninjured, were given safety advice by firefighters.
Istiak Yusuf, 25, died in June 2015 after being arrested for an alleged assault against his wife.
Ampthill Coroners Court was shown footage of him being checked in and searched before being taken to a cell.
The jury earlier heard Mr Yusuf, who lived in Luton, managed to take cocaine and MDMA after being searched.
The footage shows Mr Yusuf being asked questions such as "have you got anything on you?"
He is then given a "pat-down" search by PC Steve Hunt, who agreed that this process took 22 seconds and was "limited to outer clothing only".
Mr Yusuf who was "compliant throughout" and he had "absolutely no concern whatsoever" that the detained man was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
He said a strip search would have needed to be authorised by the custody sergeant who was not consulted.
Mr Yusuf was taken to his cell at 09:40 BST and was checked every 30 minutes.
Custody sergeant Matthew Carroll said he put him on 30-minute checks because he could "smell stale alcohol on his breath" but he "didn't display any signs of taking drugs at all".
Therefore, he was not subjected to "rousing checks" where detainees are woken every 30 minutes by officers entering their cell.
"I didn't have any concerns… We always err on the side of caution," he said.
During a check just before midday an officer raised the alarm but Mr Yusuf died in his cell.
A post-mortem examination found he died from cocaine, MDMA and alcohol toxicity.
Five police officers and three detention officers were subsequently served with misconduct notices.
Mr Yusuf had a history of drug taking and was serving a suspended sentence for drink driving.
The hearing continues.
While White House advisor Kellyanne Conway recently complained that the media have an "obsession with covering everything he says on Twitter and very little of what he does as president", Mr Trump is the pot-stirrer-in-chief, who has the power to drive debate and shape events.
Words, whether spoken or tweeted, have consequences. The president's Monday morning fusillade about his immigration policy is no exception. Here are five things we learned.
The lynchpin of the White House's defence of Mr Trump's two controversial immigration executive orders that set restrictions on immigration from a handful of majority-Muslim nations was that they had no connection to the anti-Muslim travel ban candidate Trump proposed back in December 2015.
The executive actions, they argued, constituted temporary restrictions and not a "ban", Muslim or otherwise.
The president has occasionally undercut that defence, by using the b-word in the past - leaving his aides to clean up the mess.
"It's not a Muslim ban. It's not a travel ban," Press Secretary Sean Spicer said back in January. "It's a vetting system to keep America safe."
On Monday morning, however, Mr Trump applied kerosene to that defence, set it ablaze and danced around its ashes.
"People, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want," he tweeted, "but I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TRAVEL BAN."
Speaking of the judicial branch, the president on Monday morning went on the attack against the US legal system, calling the courts "slow and political".
The line is reminiscent of one of the president's more inflammatory tweets, when he lashed out against the federal judge who struck down his original immigration order.
"The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!" he tweeted on 4 February.
The following day he issued an even more ominous warning, tweeting that the judge put the nation in peril and "if something bad happens blame him and the court system".
According to one theory, advanced by Lawfare blog's Jack Goldsmith, Mr Trump's seemingly ill-considered comments are all part of a plan to get the courts to strike down his immigration orders, freeing him to blame the judiciary for any subsequent attacks.
It may, however, be just another case of "what you see is what you get" with Mr Trump. He has feuded with judges throughout his professional life, including criticising the Mexican heritage of the man who was presiding over a lawsuit against his for-profit "university" during last year's presidential campaign.
President Trump is the same as candidate Trump is the same as businessman/TV star Trump. The stage may be different, but the man doesn't change.
Trump turns on his own
One of the more unusual components of Mr Trump's Monday morning diatribe was that he turned his Twitter invective on his own administration.
He lashed out at the Justice Department, headed by his close political confidant Jeff Sessions, for focusing its legal defence on what he called the "watered down, politically correct" second executive order on immigration and not the more sweeping first version that explicitly mentioned religion and caused confusion when it was first enforced at airport immigration checkpoints.
Justice Department lawyers have tried to decouple the second order from the original, arguing that it remedied the discriminatory portions of the earlier effort, clarified that those with legal residency were unaffected and focused exclusively on nations that had previously been determined to be of concern to US.
When the president signed that second order in early March, Spicer tweeted that it would "keep the nation safe".
"This revised order will bolster the security of the United States and our allies" Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.
Now the president is bad-mouthing the very same action his aides had resolutely defended. He is clearly irked that his administration abandoned that first travel order, particularly after he told its critics that he would see them "in court".
If Mr Trump continues to casually undercut his own people, however, they'll be less willing to rush to his defence in the coming days - when the president may need them most.
Last week, for instance, multiple officials doggedly refused to say whether the president believes climate change is caused by human activity - a position most conservative officeholders, including the president's own Environmental Protection Agency head, accept. Such reluctance may be just a taste of things to come.
Why go out on a limb for a president who is standing by the tree with a saw in hand?
The president also dusted off one of his favourite terms from the 2016 campaign - "extreme vetting" - which he said is helping "keep our country safe".
The original justification for the travel ban orders was that they were a temporary measure to allow a rigorous review process to be instituted for all individuals entering the US. The first action's time frame for implementation was 90 days - which would have set the mark at 27 April.
The second order, signed on 6 March, reset the 90-day clock again - a point that was reached on Sunday.
The Weekly Standard's Michael Warren reached out to the Trump White House for further clarification on what vetting measures had been put in place and was directed to the State Department, which has yet to give respond.
Before Monday morning the last time the president himself had mentioned "extreme vetting" was in mid-February, when he said it "will be put in place, and it already is in place in many places".
Now extreme vetting - as a term at least - is back. But what is it? And if it's already in place, doesn't that erase the justification for implementing the travel ban?
It might - unless, of course, the ban was never intended to be temporary. That's a question the "slow and political" courts are likely to consider.
The president's social media onslaught comes after the latest round of stories about how the president was going to be more disciplined and focused, and less prone to Twitter tirades. Mr Trump's lawyers, we were told, were counselling him to tamp things down, lest his comments land him in more hot water.
The president has apparently disregarded this advice yet again and is trying his best to fight old battles and rekindle old feuds.
Why? Perhaps it's because there is a very dark storm cloud on the horizon. On Thursday former FBI Director James Comey - the man Mr Trump dramatically fired and has since very publicly insulted - will testify under oath before a Senate inquiry into Russia's meddling in the US presidential election. He's expected to discuss reports that the president asked him to pledge his loyalty and pressured him to back off from his investigation of Trump foreign policy advisor Michael Flynn.
Given Mr Comey's reputation for political independence and morale certitude - combined with the possibility that he has contemporaneous memos documenting his interactions with the president - the testimony could be disastrous for the White House.
At the very least, it will be a spectacle the likes of which Washington has not seen in decades.
The president could be eager to change the subject or, at the very least, deflect some attention. If so, the past few days of Twitter invective could be just the start.
The resolution - tabled ahead of the 20th anniversary of the massacre - has angered Serbia, which rejects the term.
The killing of 8,000 Muslim men and boys by Bosnian Serb troops at Srebrenica was the worst massacre in Europe since World War Two.
Western nations disagree with Russia on whether it should be called genocide.
The draft resolution says that "acceptance of the tragic events at Srebrenica as genocide is a prerequisite for reconciliation".
But Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik accused the UK of making "false declarations... that a genocide was committed against Muslims".
Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic wrote to Russian President Vladimir Putin requesting that Russia veto the resolution, according to Serbian media.
Serbia does not have its own seat on the UN Security Council and so will rely on Russia to object to the language of the draft.
Last week, Russia's deputy ambassador to the UN, Petr Iliichev, called the UK draft "divisive" and said it focused too heavily on the Srebrenica massacre.
"It focuses on only one aspect," said Mr Iliichev. "It was only one part of the conflict."
Russia, which has close ties to Serbia, circulated a rival draft resolution described by Mr Iliichev as "more general, more reconciling", which does not use the word genocide.
But it was not clear ahead of the vote on Tuesday whether Russia would veto the draft resolution or simply abstain from the vote.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday that the UK draft would have an impact on his country regardless of the outcome of the vote.
"If the resolution is not passed, that will be good news for Serbia and the region. If it wins a majority of votes, this will be tough news," he said.
In a letter to Mladen Ivanic, the Serb chairman of the Bosnian presidency, UK permanent representative to the UN Matthew Rycroft said: "Genocide is a crime, and those who committed it are criminals who should be punished as such."
"To say so is not 'anti-Serbian', as some have alleged."
The UN vote will foreshadow sombre national commemorations in Bosnia on Saturday to mark the 20th anniversary of the massacre.
Bakir Izetbegovic, the president of Bosnia-Herzegovina, has praised the UK for "leading the way" in commemorating Srebrenica.
The atrocity came amid the bloody break-up of Yugoslavia into independent states. Serbia backed Bosnian Serb forces fighting the Muslim-led Bosnian government during the conflict.
A few months before the end of the war, 20,000 refugees fled to Srebrenica, an enclave protected by UN Dutch soldiers. The enclave was overrun by paramilitary troops led by the Bosnian Serb commander, Ratko Mladic, in July 1995.
The soldiers rounded up and killed the men and boys and buried them in mass graves.
The UK-drafted resolution condemns the massacre and calls for better prevention of genocide. Speaking at a memorial service in London on Monday, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "We must reaffirm our determination to act to prevent genocide in the future."
Gen Mladic, who was in charge of the Bosnian Serb troops at the time of the massacre, was on the run for 16 years before being arrested in 2011 in northern Serbia.
He is still on trial for war crimes at the UN tribunal in The Hague.
The international tribunal at The Hague has already convicted numerous people of genocide in relation to the Srebrenica killings.
The national transport plan is also aimed at tackling poverty and improving people's access to jobs and services.
Improvements to the A55, the A40 in Pembrokeshire, and north-south rail journey times are among the first projects to be tackled, plus cut-price bus fares for 16 and 17-year-olds.
It is open to public consultation until next March.
"Transport has a critical role to play in improving Wales' economic competiveness and delivering our social ambitions," said Transport Minister Edwina Hart said.
The priorities are set out for the short, medium and long term in the 193-page report.
ON THE WAY - SHORT TERM
As Edwina Hart says, transport is a vital element in economic prosperity.
If we want companies to locate to Wales and our small businesses to grow then we need a reliable, joined-up and cost-effective transport system.
The South Wales Metro, for example, would allow companies to operate in the places they want to operate while allowing their workers to live in the communities they want to live in.
This plan is welcome in that it brings all the transport projects together in one reference place even if there's little new in the way of detail in it.
It says the projects will be paid for from Welsh government, council and European funding but we know budgets are becoming tighter and that will continue in future.
Though another £2bn of EU funds is being invested in west Wales and the Valleys up to 2020 this money for projects has to be matched from the public purse in Wales before it can be distributed.
In the meantime, Mrs Hart has committed herself to two transport projects with a big price tag - the M4 relief road and the South Wales Metro.
The CBI and many businesses are very supportive of the M4 plans - critics including the Federation of Small Businesses argue that at £1bn it leaves little room for spending on other transport priorities.
The pontiff said he prayed for the success of recent UN resolutions for peace in Syria and Libya.
The Pope also condemned "brutal acts of terrorism", singling out France, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Mali.
Thousands of pilgrims turned out to see the address, known as "Urbi et Orbi" - to the city and the world.
Heavy security was in place around the Vatican as crowds lined the streets, as it has been since the 13 November Paris attacks carried out by Islamist militants.
This year also saw ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, while Europe grappled with record numbers of migrants arriving on its shores.
Pope Francis began by noting that "precisely where the incarnate son of God came into the world, tensions and violence persist".
He went on to urge Israelis and Palestinians to resume direct peace talks, and back international efforts to end "atrocities" in Libya and Syria.
Such acts, he said, "do not even spare the historical and cultural patrimony of entire peoples", a clear reference to the Islamic State group.
Speaking from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica, he described Christians being persecuted for their faith as "martyrs of today".
On the migrant crisis, the Pope said "may God repay all those, both individuals and states, who generously work to provide assistance and welcome to the numerous migrants and refugees".
He also referenced conflicts in Ukraine, Colombia, Yemen, Iraq, Burundi, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Celebrating Mass on Christmas Eve, Pope Francis called on Roman Catholics not to be "intoxicated" by possessions.
Miss Moss was killed in Kilburn, north-west London, in August last year.
She and a friend were shot from near point-blank range but were not the intended targets, jurors were told.
Hassan Hussain, 29, from Willesden, Martell Warren, 22, of Kensal Green, and Yassin James, 20, from Wembley, were given life sentences.
The Old Bailey heard Miss Moss, mother to a four-year-old boy, and Sabrina Gachette, 25, were outside a takeaway shop, the Woody Grill, with other people when they were shot by two hooded men armed with a sub-machine gun and a shotgun.
Miss Moss was shot in the heart and died in hospital. Miss Gachette was hit in the back by more than 50 pellets but survived.
A victim impact statement read out in court on behalf of Miss Gachette said the men had "crept into my life" and carried out a "heinous crime" which had left her "mentally and physically scarred for the rest of my existence".
BBC reporter Nick Beake said there were tears in the public gallery as the court was told she now described herself as a "broken woman", forced to wear a mask to hide her anxiety and pain.
She suffers panic attacks and is frightened to go out of the front door., the Old Bailey heard.
The court heard the gunmen had wanted to hit members of the south Kilburn Gang who were also outside the shop.
Hussain discharged the Mac 10 "spray and pray" machine gun six times on the crowd and James fired both barrels of the shotgun, at near point-blank range, before fleeing in a car driven by Warren.
During the court case security had to be increased when Warren gave evidence after he implicated Hussain and James in the shooting but denied his own involvement, saying he was just there to do a drug deal.
In return, Hussain and James said Warren was a "dirty lying scumbag" who had only named them to protect the real killers.
Judge Stephen Kramer QC said the men had set out to commit a "violent execution in which an innocent victim was killed".
"Sabrina Moss was in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said, adding the action had deprived the Moss family of a "much-loved" mother, daughter and sister.
A fourth defendant - Simon Baptiste, 29, from Cricklewood - was convicted of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm, between 22 August and 25 August last year.

There's been the million-strong march against the Iraq War in 2003, UK fuel protests and students demonstrating against tuition fees, but on Friday something different happened.
Hundreds of activists demonstrated against new pornography laws by sitting on each other's faces.
They say the rules ban female sexual pleasure and they're protecting women's rights by protesting.
Armed with blankets, yoga mats, face masks and signs, campaigners protested while singing Monty Python's Sit On My Face.
Protesters chanted: "What do we want? Face-sitting! When do we want it? Now!"
Earlier this month, a change was made to the 2003 Communications Act which affected porn produced in the UK.
It banned a list of sex acts by demanding paid-for video-on-demand (VoD) online porn is regulated by the same guidelines set out by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) that DVD pornography must stick to.
Three banned acts were deemed life threatening: strangulation, face-sitting and fisting.
Abusive language during sex is now also banned, alongside depictions of non-consensual sex.
Read about it all in more detail.
Charlotte Rose, who was named sex worker of the year 2013, organised it saying the restrictions were "ludicrous" and a threat to freedom of expression.
She said: "These activities were added to this list without the public being made aware.
"They've done this without public knowledge and without public consent.
"There are activities on that list that may be deemed sexist, but it's not just about sexism, it's about censorship.
"What the government is doing is taking our personal liberties away without our permission."
Independent film makers who produce pornography are annoyed about it too.
They say online viewers will instead watch videos filmed abroad which will damage the porn business in the UK.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport thinks laws relating to DVDs and online paid-for video porn need to be the same.
DVDs are regulated by the BBFC, while online porn is regulated by the Authority for Television On Demand (ATVoD) and Ofcom.
Video-on-demand is rising so the government is worried under-18s would be able to access content they shouldn't be watching.
In its report it said: "There is public value in ensuring that there is consistency for regulation across platforms so that UK based VoD firms are compliant with the UK's views on harmful content."
If your preference is UK porn and you pay for it via Video-on-demand then yes. All those banned sex acts won't appear on those films, obviously.
But you're still free to watch porn films from abroad featuring them.
Hmm...doubtful. But activists say they plan to continue protesting.

Ibrahimovic, 35, has scored 17 goals in 27 games since joining United in July.
He said: "Every year the Premier League has been calling me but I wanted to come here when everyone thought I was over the hill.
"They said it would not be possible but I always make them eat their words."
The Swede scored 50 goals in 2016, second only to Barcelona's Lionel Messi over the calendar year.
He would have been level with the Argentina forward but had a goal controversially disallowed by referee Lee Mason in Saturday's 2-1 win over Middlesbrough.
Ibrahimovic said: "Criticism gives me a lot of energy.
"Critics get paid to talk rubbish. I get paid to play with my feet. That is how I enjoy it."
United travel to West Ham in the Premier League on Monday (17:15 GMT).
Krzysztof Gadecki is alleged to have killed Ronnie Kidd, 40, and American national Holly Alexander, 37, in Mr Kidd's Rosefield Street flat between 8 December and 11 December.
Prosecutors allege Mr Gadecki repeatedly struck them both on the body with a knife or similar instrument.
He made a second appearance at Dundee Sheriff Court on Thursday.
Mr Gadecki, who is a Polish national, was fully committed for trial and remanded in custody.
Under the scheme, Glasgow City Council will sell 20 sites for development by housing associations in the next year. Sites will also be sold for self-build.
Other measures will see empty shops turned into houses.
The 10-point plan also includes helping first-time buyers secure mortgages and investigating options for a new private rented housing supply.
Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson said: "While there have been tremendous examples of new housing developments in Glasgow in recent years, such as the Athletes' Village and Laurieston, the city needs to accelerate house building to meet changing and growing demand.
"The huge scope of housing activity that the council will be enabling, supporting and investing in over the next decade will truly transform Glasgow.
"The building of these homes will bring tremendous economic and social benefits for the city, with the huge number of jobs and apprenticeships required to deliver new housing on such a scale."
A 27-year-old has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and with affray and was bailed to appear before Cardiff magistrates on 1 August.
A 19-year-old was charged with affray and remanded in custody.
It follows an altercation on the corner of Saunders Road, Penarth Road and St Mary Street on Friday.
There were no injuries and police said it was not linked to Justin Bieber's concert at the Principality Stadium.
But Assistant Commissioner Patricia Gallan stopped short of apologising, citing a police duty to investigate.
Former Army head Lord Bramall was interviewed last April and told last week that he faced no further action.
The peer, aged 92, said the Met's statement was "a long justification of their actions".
"If that's what they want to put out it's not for me to comment," he said, adding it was "up to the public to think whether it is convincing or not".
He told the BBC it was wrong that news of his questioning had been released by Scotland Yard even though the force described him only as a "91-year-old man living near Farnham".
Lord Bramall, a Normandy veteran who retired from the House of Lords in 2013, was never arrested and always denied the allegations.
After being cleared, he told the BBC there wasn't "one grain of truth" in the allegations, made against him by a man in his 40s, and accused the police of not behaving very well.
Friends said Lord Bramall's late wife, who had Alzheimer's, was at home when police officers "barged" into the house.
In the statement, Ms Gallan said she fully recognised how unpleasant it would be to be investigated by the police over historical abuse allegations.
"For a person to have their innocence publicly called into question must be appalling," she said.
She said she was taking the unusual step of explaining the dilemmas of policing after the possibility of an apology was raised.
"We have many serious allegations referred to us every year that we have a duty to investigate," she wrote.
"It is, of course, a principle of British justice that everyone is equal before the law so that duty must apply equally to all, irrespective of their status or social standing.
"The fact that after a full and impartial investigation the evidence did not support charges being laid does not suggest that an allegation should not have been investigated."
She added that the inquiry into the allegations continued until all lines of enquiry had been examined.
"The Metropolitan Police accepts absolutely that we should apologise when we get things wrong, and we have not shrunk from doing so.
"However, if we were to apologise whenever we investigated allegations that did not lead to a charge, we believe this would have a harmful impact on the judgements made by officers and on the confidence of the public."
Ms Gallan said she would meet Lord Bramall to explain the force's conduct at the end of Operation Midland, a wider police investigation into historical abuse claims.
Lord Bramall said he welcomed "enormously" the offer of a meeting but now wanted "the whole thing to die down".
Lord Bramall served during the D-Day landings during World War Two and commanded UK land forces between 1976 and 1978.
He became chief of the general staff - the professional head of the Army - in 1979, and in 1982 he oversaw the Falklands campaign.
Later that year he became chief of the defence staff, the most senior officer commanding the UK's armed forces. | Former Sauber driver Esteban Gutierrez has been named as the second driver for the new US-based Haas team.

Last week Wangzhou Fortune said Yang Weiguo had gone missing and taken 1 billion yuan ($153m; £106m).
But Mr Yang sent a video and a letter to journalists on Monday saying he had gone for a short personal trip, and rejected the accusations.
Authorities are investigating the case after Wangzhou made a police report.
The firm had released a statement (in Chinese) last Thursday saying that after several days of investigations it could confirm that Mr Yang "has gone missing, and believed to have taken 1 billion yuan".
It made a public apology, adding that the incident had "happened suddenly and unexpectedly" and that the firm had lodged a report with police in Shanghai.
Wangzhou Fortune had reportedly experienced cashflow problems in recent days. Beijing Youth Daily said the company had about 20,000 investors who put in 2.2 billion yuan.
The news made waves in local media, which ran pieces quoting investors calling for Mr Yang's return.
On Monday Mr Yang contacted journalists at several financial news outlets. In a short video clip he reportedly says: "Hi everyone, it's me, don't worry I'm coming back soon."
He also sent a strongly-worded letter (in Chinese) stating that on 15 April he decided to take a short 10-day holiday and drove to the far western province of Xinjiang.
He said he needed the holiday "so that I could completely relax and clearly think about how to solve several large problems in the current stage of my company's management".
Mr Yang acknowledged he failed to tell anyone about his travel plans, but added that he notified two employees telling them to manage themselves for the next few days.
He said he only learnt of the company's allegations on Sunday as he prepared to return home, and said he was "stunned and furious".
"The company which I painstakingly managed has in the last few days become unrecognisable, slandering me as 'taking 1 billion and fleeing'! All the investments have accounts that can be checked, what is this based on?!" he wrote.
He added he was rushing to the nearest police post in Urumqi to co-operate with investigations.
Wangzhou Fortune has yet to respond to his statement.
Mr Yang is also the chairman of the company's parent firm Wangzhou Group, which states on its website that it has 200 subsidiaries in commerce, vehicles, health, food and beverage, and technology.
The 50-year-old, who needed dialysis after damaging her kidneys with a drug overdose, died late last year.
The Court of Protection ruled that she had the capacity to refuse treatment and must not be named - and that anonymity has now been extended.
Mr Justice Charles said press coverage would cause distress to the family.
The woman had a number of daughters and a grandchild, and lawyers for one of the daughters said the dead woman should remain anonymous to protect her relatives' rights to a private and family life.
A number of media organisations opposed the application for reporting restrictions.
But Mr Justice Charles said the woman's family were "understandably distressed" by "intensive and intrusive media attention", and granted anonymity "until further order of the court and on the basis that it will cover the reporting of [the woman's] inquest".
"The history of the prurient nature of some of the earlier reporting is a clear indicator that such reporting might be repeated," he said in his ruling.
The Court of Protection rules on cases where there is doubt over whether someone has the mental capacity to make important decisions for themselves.
In an earlier hearing, the court was told the woman's life had "always revolved around her looks, men and material possessions".
In a statement, one of her daughters said: "'Recovery' to her does not just relate to her kidney function, but to regaining her 'sparkle' [her expensive, material and looks-oriented social life], which she believes she is too old to regain."
The complainant said he had sex with Julie Wadsworth up to 15 times, including once when her husband Tony joined in.
Now in his 30s, he told police he felt compelled to report what happened after having child protection training.
The couple deny assaulting seven boys in the 1990s.
In video interviews shown to the jury, the alleged victim said he first met Mrs Wadsworth when he was 14 and she was sunbathing in a park in 1995.
He went on to have sexual activity with Mrs Wadsworth at her then home in Long Street, Atherstone, the court heard.
"The first time we had sex in her living room and basically from then until I was 18 I would say there are 10, 12 or 15 occasions I have seen her in the park and arranged to meet," he said.
The man told the interviewing officer he only discovered the couple's names while channel-hopping on the radio.
The man said: "It was probably after about a year or two.
"While it was going on I was listening to the radio one night and I recognised their voices...co-presenting an evening programme.
"You could play me a recording of 10 BBC presenters and I would be able to tell you straight away which one was them."
The Wadsworths, from Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, who have worked for BBC Radio Leicester and BBC WM, deny five counts of outraging public decency between July 1992 and June 1996.
Mrs Wadsworth, 60, has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges of indecent assault, while her 69-year-old husband denies 10 counts of the same offence.
The man told officers: "I took part in (child protection) training and it brought up incidents that happened to me over four years from when I was 14 to when I was 18, when I engaged in sexual intercourse with a couple that I had met in the woods in Atherstone.
"I had never told a soul. I was sitting there having a conversation with myself, is this the day that I tell someone?"
The party's leader at Westminster, Angus Robertson, told the Commons it was believed the material would then be flown to the US.
He raised the issue with Chancellor George Osborne, who was standing in for David Cameron at Prime Minister's Questions.
Mr Osborne said established procedures were in place for moving nuclear materials.
Mr Robertson said: "There are growing reports in the north of Scotland about plans to transport dangerous nuclear material, including potentially nuclear weapons grade nuclear uranium, from the Dounreay nuclear facility on public roads to Wick Airport. It is believed it will then be flown to the United States."
Mr Robertson asked Mr Osborne what the material would be used for, and questioned whether the Chancellor or any of his colleagues had discussed it with any Scottish government minister.
Mr Osborne responded: "The transportation of nuclear materials has happened across this country over many decades. There are established procedures for doing so. The Royal Marines and the police service in Scotland provide the security as they do that."
He said that if Mr Robertson had any specific concerns about the transportation plans he could raise them with the government, but insisted that "the arrangements are in place to make sure we protect the public".
Speaking after the exchange, Mr Robertson said he had written to the prime minister over the issue as Mr Osborne had been "unable to provide detailed answers".
He said the public had "a right to expect the highest safety standards and full coordination and cooperation between responsible public agencies".
The Dounreay facility, which sits about 30 miles to the north west of Wick, is currently being decommissioned.
Ryan Lamb, 20 and of St Helens, had been left in a critical condition in the attack on Canal Street at about 17:25 BST on Sunday.

John Fahy, 25, of Groagagh, Grange in County Sligo, was acquitted of two charges of causing death and grievous bodily injury by careless driving.
Nineteen-month-old Ryan Cox died in the crash on Boa Island Road near Belleek in January 2013.
The jury reached a unanimous verdict at Dungannon Crown Court in acquitting the architecture student of the charges.
Ryan's parents cried as the verdict was delivered on Wednesday.
Mr Fahy had been in his final year at Ulster University at the time of the crash, and he now hopes to return to complete his studies.
Both Mr Fahy and Ryan's mother, Katriona Cox, were also badly injured in the crash.
During the trial, prosecutors argued that "either through inexperience or over steering", Mr Fahy had lost control of his car.
Mr Fahy told the court he remembered as he drove around the bend before the crash, he noticed a car "apparently in my lane and I remember flashing my lights".
After Wednesday's verdict, neither Ryan's parents nor Mr Fahy wanted to comment on the case.
Caroline Starmer, 28, appeared at Leicester Crown Court, where she pleaded guilty to a charge of intent to pervert the course of justice.
Starmer, of Marshall Street, Leicester, had claimed her nine-month-old daughter was grabbed from her breast.
She was warned she could be jailed when sentenced in December.
In a Facebook post, she claimed the guard took hold of her daughter and marched off towards the exit of the Humberstone Gate store in Leicester on 13 July.
The story was widely reported in the media and in interviews she claimed a male security guard grabbed the child from her breast.
In the post, she said she picked a quiet spot in Primark to feed her daughter but was then challenged by a security guard who asked her to leave.
"I stood my ground and stated my rights, that I can legally feed where I want," she wrote.
"Just for the security officer to physically remove my daughter from my breast and walk down the store with her, saying if I wanted my daughter, then I was to come and get her."
Leicestershire Police investigated her claims but she was charged with intent to pervert the course of justice.
Primark initially said it would investigate the allegation but after viewing in-store CCTV footage denied the incident had taken place.
In a statement after Starmer's appearance at court, the firm said: "The company wishes to thank its staff for their patience and understanding through this process."
It added that breastfeeding mothers were always welcome in Primark.
The hosts of the Facebook page on which Starmer made her original claim, Free to Feed, apologised to Primark and said there were "no winners here".
"What possesses people to fabricate lies on this level and drag everyone else down with them, will always be a mystery to us," the group said.
"Our good nature and intent was completely abused by someone that we believed in good faith, and wanted to help."
The case was adjourned until 3 December for reports to be prepared.
The Eastfield Pictogram at Alton Barnes near Devizes was first spotted in July 1990 and led to a new era of interest in studies of the formations.

Although most crop circles are acknowledged to be manmade, there is still a feeling among believers that they are caused by something unexplained.
Monique Klinkenbergh from the Crop Circle Access Centre said the subject deserves recognition and serious scientific research.
"Not all circles are man-made," she said.
"After seven years of studying the subject, and having experienced unexplainable things myself, I know there is more going on than just people with planks and ropes."
Ms Klinkenbergh said the free exhibition would present "unknown facts" about the "authentic, mysterious and misunderstood phenomenon".
"Another major aim is to bring the concerns of the farming community to the attention of the general public and an attempt to find a workable solution to help those farmers who are willing to allow access to visitors who often travelled long distances to Wiltshire to experience the phenomenon," she said.
The free exhibition, at St. Peter's Church in Marlborough, will run until 28 August.
The Welsh Government wants to build a £1.1bn six-lane motorway south of Newport to relieve congestion around the Brynglas tunnels.
The inquiry will examine the controversial plan and alternatives.
A pre-inquiry meeting will take place on Monday at Newport's Lysaght Institute.
It starts at 13:00 BST, is open to all and will allow interested parties to understand the process and prepare for the inquiry itself.
It will not examine evidence. The full inquiry will take place at the same venue.
Opponents of the M4 relief road include environmentalists, opposition politicians in the assembly and Labour backbench AMs, with concerns ranging from cost to the impact on the environment.
Mr Skates said: "It's been clear for some time that for businesses, commuters and visitors alike, the current stretch of M4 around Newport is unable to cope with the needs of modern Wales."
He said the inquiry will provide "open and transparent scrutiny of our proposed solution, and suggested alternatives, before providing vital feedback to inform a final decision on whether we proceed to construction".
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell made the commitment to the BBC a day after Npower said it was raising electricity prices by 15% from March.
Meanwhile, Mr McDonnell used a speech earlier to vow to "close the gap" between spending in the north and south of England.
But the Conservatives said Labour's plans would "crash the economy".
Npower said on Friday that its price rises would take effect on 16 March, with gas increasing by 4.8%.
The company said the changes would only affect about half of its customers, but energy regulator Ofgem said it must "justify" why it was introducing one of the largest price rises in years.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Mr McDonnell said people would be paying for the increase having had their wages "frozen" since the recession.
Asked what Labour would do, he said it would introduce legislation that would limit the amount prices could increase by.
"This is huge. We can't allow this to keep going on," he said.
Speaking later at Labour's economic conference in Liverpool, Mr McDonnell said the North had consistently lost out in terms of spending - and promised a future Labour government would try to rectify that.
He cited figures from the National Infrastructure Commission suggesting projected capital spending per head of population in the north of England would increase by just £1,491 by 2020-2021, compared with by £3,114 per head in London.
"We have to put an end to the Whitehall view that what's good for the City of London is good for the country as a whole," he said.
"It is time for the rest of the country to get a look-in."
Pledging to create a "Crossrail for the North", Mr McDonnell said the high-speed line would reduce journey times between Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds and create 850,000 additional jobs by 2050.
The proposed HS3 line was approved in the government's March 2016 Budget but Labour says the government has still not brought forward a definite plan for the scheme.
Mr McDonnell also said a Labour government would pass laws requiring ministers to audit capital spending in the English regions against their relative economic need and to report any disparities to Parliament.
The government has earmarked £13bn on transport in the North and £19bn in total capital spending for the region.
It has created Transport for the North - a new body to co-ordinate transport investment in the region, modelled on Transport for London - and has accepted all its recommendations to improve connectivity.
Its plans include an accelerated upgrade of the M62, major improvements to junctions on the M1 and M56, investments in leading stations and £1.2bn to increase capacity on the Northern and TransPennine rail routes.
A Conservative spokesman said Labour's borrowing plans "would crash our economy and threaten jobs and infrastructure".
The banking sector share index fell 25%, after falling by about 30% on both Monday and Tuesday.
Individual shares are not allowed to drop by more than 30% in one day on the Athens market.
Overall, the Athens stock market fell 2.53%. The market reopened on Monday following a five-week closure.
Trading was halted after 26 June, just before capital controls were imposed in an effort to stop money leaving the country during the height of the Greek debt crisis. Greeks are still limited to withdrawing €420 a week in cash.
"The market is looking for the bottom, we are not far away from it," Alexander Moraitakis, head of Athens-based Nuntius Securities, told Reuters.
"But bank shares are still pounded by selling pressure due to dilution fears, given their need to recapitalise."
Greek banks have been hit by a flight of deposits as customers send their money abroad or hoard it as cash. The banks accounted for about a fifth of the Athens index.
Rules agreed by the government and the European Central Bank say local investors are not allowed to buy shares with money from their bank accounts, only with cash kept in safe deposit boxes or at home.
The main share index is down more than 50% from last year's peak.
After some frustrating postponements over the past week and a half - including a last-second abort on Sunday - the company's Falcon rocket left its Florida pad right on cue on Friday.
The Falcon has placed a telecoms satellite in orbit for the Luxembourg operator SES.
This platform will relay video and other services across the Asia-Pacific region.
As has become customary on recent SpaceX missions, an attempt was made to fly the lower stage of the Falcon rocket back to Earth after it had sent the satellite on its way.
A drone ship was placed more than 600km offshore in the Atlantic Ocean to receive the returning booster - but the procedure was unsuccessful.
The company had, though, gone into the exercise with low expectations, stating before the launch that the chances of sticking the landing were slim given the particular flight profile used during the ascent.
"Rocket landed hard on the droneship. Didn't expect this one to work (v hot reentry), but next flight has a good chance," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk later tweeted.
SES will be delighted to have its satellite in orbit. The new platform should have gone up months ago but has had to wait for SpaceX to work its way back to normal operations following a launch failure last June.
"SES-9 is an important building block in our strategy to grow in dynamic regions and four prime sectors - video, enterprise, mobility and government," said Martin Halliwell, chief technology officer of SES. "Co-located with SES-7, the new satellite will reach 22 million TV homes and is designed to deliver high-performing connectivity to homes, enterprises and institutions across Asia."
SES has been among the young rocket company's most bullish supporters, and Mr Halliwell has told SpaceX that the operator is keen to fly a future satellite on a recovered and refurbished booster.
The year ahead is a busy one for SpaceX. The hiatus in activity following the June failure means missions are backing up.
Highlights in the coming months should include the roll-out of the next-generation Iridium sat-phone constellation, which Falcons will loft in batches of 10 spacecraft at a time.
We should also see the beefed-up Falcon-Heavy rocket make its debut at some point. This vehicle straps three first-stage boosters together to gain significant extra performance.
And throughout 2016, SpaceX will be working on its Dragon astronaut capsule. This will be flown initially in an unmanned configuration, with astronauts set to take their first ride to the International Space Station next year.
Aaron McMahon was beaten in the Clandeboye Road area of the town in November.

The Russian firm Kaspersky Lab said the hacking at three European hotels was so sophisticated, it must have been created by a government.
World powers and Iran have been holding talks on the fate of Iran's nuclear programme ahead of a 30 June deadline.
Switzerland and Austria have both opened investigations into the hacks.
The US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China are seeking a final agreement to curtail Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.
They fear Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb - something Iran strongly denies.
Israel is not a party to the negotiations although it feels particularly threatened by the possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran.
In March, the Wall Street Journal reported concerns by US officials that Israel had been spying on the behind-closed-doors talks.
At the time, Israel denied the claims it had been spying.
Kaspersky, and an American security firm, Symantec, believe the so-called Duqu 2.0 software was employed to gather information.
The virus infects computers across a network and is difficult to detect.
Kaspersky said on Wednesday that its own systems had recently been compromised by hackers but the intrusion had been detected at an early stage.
Security experts had previously suggested Duqu may have been created by Israel.
"The international reports of Israeli involvement in the matter are baseless," said Tzipi Hotovely, Israel's deputy foreign minister.
"What is much more important is that we prevent a bad agreement where at the end of the day we find ourselves with an Iranian nuclear umbrella."
Karl-Heinz Grundboeck, a spokesman for Austria's interior ministry, told AFP investigations in Vienna were focused on the Palais Coburg hotel, where talks took place in July last year.
Switzerland's attorney general has also opened an investigation, although it is not known which Swiss hotels are affected.
Police have seized computers in Switzerland.
As well as Vienna, negotiations have been held in the Swiss cities of Geneva, Lausanne and Montreux, and in Germany.
Daniel Young, 30, was killed in Kendor Gardens at about 08:00 GMT as he was making his way to a new job.
Police said a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday. He remains in custody at a south London police station.
Two other men who were held over the attack have been bailed.
Mr Young, originally from Paignton in Devon, was on the way to his second day working at Coventry University's London Campus International when he was attacked.
Police have called the killing a "senseless murder of a brilliant young man" without "a clear motive or reason".
Detectives said they are still investigating a second stabbing near Kendor Gardens on the same day when a 23-year-old man was stabbed in the buttocks.
However, a Scotland Yard spokesperson said the two attacks had "not been linked forensically or evidentially" yet.
Police have released CCTV footage showing Mr Young's last steps as he made his way to work.
They have appealed to anybody who was in in the vicinity at the time to contact them.
Pope Francis' trip this weekend to the Greek island of Lesbos, which hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants have used as a stepping stone in their trip to northern Europe, clearly emerges from the Pope's own personal desire.
Migrants and refugees have always occupied a central part of his discourse - and so has his criticism of the way developed countries have dealt with this crisis.
"All too often," he said recently of migrants, "[they] meet along the way with death or, in any event, rejection by those who could offer them welcome and assistance."
In two speeches - at the Moira refugee centre and at the Mytilene port - Pope Francis is set to urge leaders and societies to show more compassion for those fleeing war and poverty.
But more than anything, the short visit is seen as hugely symbolic - and if you look at Pope Francis' travel record, it seems that for him, making an appearance is enough of a message.
In July 2013, his first trip outside Rome after being elected pontiff was to Lampedusa, the tiny Italian island off the coast of Libya that - like Lesbos - was becoming a symbol of the incipient migrant crisis.
The visit occurred months before the attention of the world turned to the deadly crossing between Libya and Italy.
Ever since then, it became clear that travelling to the front line of a conflict would become a recurring feature of Pope Francis' travel agenda.
And it has also become obvious that the Vatican is increasingly aware of the symbolic power that the Pope has - and the global media attention that comes with a visit by one of the world's most popular leaders.
So the Pope is also using his seemingly unrivalled media power to shed light on certain conflicts around the world - even if this means pushing the boundaries on the definition of papal travel.
Take his trip last November to the Central African Republic (CAR), one of the poorest countries in the world, ravaged by more than three years of armed conflict between Christians and Muslims.
For months after the Vatican first announced the trip, observers insisted that it posed too high a security risk for the Pope himself and the crowds that were expected to greet him in Bangui.
After all, never before had a pope visited an active war zone.
Pope Francis, oblivious to calls to reconsider, went ahead with the trip - visiting a mosque and camp for displaced people, holding a mass at the cathedral and calling on factions to lay down their weapons.
After the papal plane left the conflict has continued, but the visit did bring an enormous amount of media coverage to a conflict that ranks amongst the most under-reported war of our times.
It was the "Francis effect", in full form.
In 2014, moved by news of the savage murder by the mafia of a three-year-old child in the southern Italian region of Calabria, he travelled to the remote village of Cassano allo Ionio.
At the stronghold of the local crime syndicate known as 'Ndrangheta, the Pope issued a strong message to mobsters: you are all excommunicated. And his words reverberated across the Italian peninsula, where the mafia continues to expand its tentacles.
Full of standout moments too was his presence at the fence between Mexico and the United States earlier this year, or his visit to Cuba in September last year, where he supported the historic thawing of the island's relationship with the United States.
But is there anything more than pure symbolism in the Pope's travels?
Sometimes his attempts to mediate in international conflicts are seen as naive, if not somewhat clumsy.
During his trip to the Holy Land in May 2014, at the end of a mass at Bethlehem's Manger Square, he broke the news that he was inviting the then Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to a "day of prayer" at the Vatican.
A few weeks later, the event did take place and under the eye of the world's media the three leaders - joined by the Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew - shared a slightly awkward photo opportunity, during which they planted an olive tree in the Vatican Gardens.
It is difficult to establish what concrete, on-the-ground effect - if any - such a gesture had on the decades-long conflict in the Middle East.
But, ignoring the sceptics, this Pope seems keen to continue his policy of getting involved in continuing crises - visiting hotspots in what he calls the "peripheries" of the world and issuing strong calls for more mercy for the downtrodden.
This weekend's trip to Lesbos is clearly emblematic of this approach.

Bishop Frith, who has four children and four step-children, has worked in a mix of urban and rural areas in his 40 years of ministry, it added.
His predecessor in Hereford, the Right Reverend Anthony Priddis, retired from the role in September.
Bishop Frith said he was "thrilled" to have been chosen.
He said: "The Diocese has a wonderful Christian heritage and I greatly look forward to playing my part in building up the church and serving the wider community."
The grandfather-of-seven has been the Bishop of Hull for 16 years.
The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu said he had brought "his passion and joyful enthusiasm to his mission for the Diocese of York".
From 1991 to 1998, Bishop Frith was Prebendary at Wells Cathedral, including being Archdeacon of Taunton for six of those years.
He was Team Rector at the Keynsham, Bath and Wells diocese from 1983 to 1992.
His new diocese covers Herefordshire, south Shropshire and parts of Worcestershire and Wales.
The wildlife charity believes they were killed illegally around grouse moors, and their satellite tracking tags destroyed.
But a major landowner body said there was no evidence to support the claims.
The Scottish Moorland Group also accused the RSPB of trying to whip up anti-shooting feelings on the eve of grouse season.
RSPB Scotland said the eagles vanished in the Monadhliath mountains, south east of Inverness, and the Scottish government has ordered a review of the tracking data to determine whether there is "a pattern of suspicious activity".
The charity said the latest to disappear was a two-year-old female bird nicknamed Brodie, whose last recorded position was given as the northern Monadhliath mountains on 2 July.
RSPB Scotland head of investigations Ian Thomson said most of the tagged birds of prey disappeared in areas "intensively managed" for shooting game birds, such as grouse.
He said the "positive efforts" of landowners and estate owners who support golden eagle conservation were being harmed by "those who have a complete disregard for the law".
Mr Thomson added: "Given the reliability of the transmitters, the chance of so many birds disappearing over such a short timescale without some kind of human interference is so small as to be negligible.
"The pattern we see here is consistent with the birds having been killed and the transmitters destroyed."
RSPB Scotland said the first of the eight eagles vanished after last being recorded in the hills above Strathdearn in November 2011, with further disappearances in 2012, 2014 and this year.
It said searches were made of the locations where the eight eagles' transmitters sent their final signals, but nothing was found.
However the Scottish Moorland Group, which represents landowners and gamekeepers, said there was no clear evidence of the golden eagles having even died in the Monadhliath area.
Tim Baynes, director of the organisation, added: "There are other explanations for satellite tags stopping working, and the failure of RSPB to involve land managers in trying to establish the facts is disappointing."
He said there was a clear process for investigating the disappearance of satellite-tagged birds, which involved the police.
Mr Baynes added: "Where there is not a police investigation, as in these cases, contact should be made with local land managers who are often in the best position to help with information.
"Regrettably, RSPB has not done this and it is not the first time. RSPB would appear to be more interested in generating anti-shooting publicity on the eve of the grouse shooting season."
Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said reports of satellite-tagged golden eagles disappearing on or near grouse moors were "very disturbing and disappointing".
"That is why I have instructed officials to analyse the evidence from around 90 surviving and missing satellite-tagged eagles, to discover if there is a pattern of suspicious activity," she added.
Ms Cunningham reiterated that the government was prepared to bring forward more legislation to regulate shooting businesses, if necessary.
The majority of the Bears' first-team squad have been back doing fitness training since mid-November.
"It's eyeballs out at the minute," Brown told BBC Sport. "It's going to be very tough physically.
"It's as hard as they will have been worked in my time here."
He added: "The main focus is on fitness and it has to be. We need to work really hard at the right sort of things. I'm not saying we weren't doing that. But we had some seriously solid foundations to revisit. If you do the simple things and you do them well, that takes you quite a way down the road."
The Bears have even been allowed to use neighbours West Bromwich Albion's Great Barr training ground, to work on their all-weather surface.
After winning the T20 Blast in 2014, as well as finishing runners-up in both the County Championship and One-Day Cup, the Bears regressed in 2015, largely down to a poor final month or so of the season.
They failed to win any of their final five County Championship matches to fall to fifth, 100 points adrift of champions Yorkshire, who they had finished just 17 points behind in 2014.
Brown's men also just failed to make it out of their One-Day Cup group before losing to Northants in the T20 semi on home soil at Edgbaston.
"The biggest disappointment was that we didn't compete the way we should have done," added Brown. "But there's nothing wrong in getting it wrong as long as you learn from it and get it right in future. We still have an exceptional squad but by no means an old squad. We have an exciting mix of young players who need the direction of the senior players."
Warwickshire, who look likely to see more of both Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott, will step up their pre-season preparations after Christmas. Having been to Barbados for the last few years, they are expected to undergo more warm weather training ahead of the domestic first-class season.
They are due to start with a home game against the Leeds/Bradford MCCU students at Edgbaston on 31 March, prior to the Championship campaign beginning against Hampshire at Southampton on 10 April.
England skipper Rooney is set to lead his side out against Scotland in Tuesday night's friendly.
"From speaking to Wayne and a few of the lads, they're really looking forward to it," said Hibs boss Stubbs.
"Wayne has been to Celtic Park as a fan and was blown away by the atmosphere, so he'll be wanting to play tomorrow."
Rooney also came on as a substitute when Manchester United drew 1-1 with Celtic in Glasgow in the Champions League in 2008.
He could be a pivotal figure in Tuesday's match, and former Celtic defender Stubbs is a huge fan of the England captain, having played at Everton when Rooney burst on to the scene in 2002.
"He's a winner, he wants to win every game and in every training session he wants to be the best he can be. It's no surprise that he's as good as he is," Stubbs told BBC Scotland.
"His ability alone is fantastic but his appetite and desire to be the best he can be is the reason why he's so good."
Stubbs worked as a youth coach with Everton before taking charge of Hibs in June, and at Goodison Park he saw midfielder Ross Barkley at close quarters.
Barkley, who has been tipped to start for England at Celtic Park, has been compared to Rooney but Stubbs reckons the Manchester United forward has the edge in terms of ability.
"I don't think he's a bigger talent, but he's got a lot of similarities to Wayne," Stubbs added.

"He'll be the first out on the training pitch and he wants to work as hard as he can every day.
"Ross had a couple of injuries early on and he did question whether he was actually going to become a footballer. But he came through it and showed great mental toughness. He has exceptional ability and could be very, very good."
England go into Tuesday's match fresh from a 3-1 win over Slovenia in Euro 2016 qualifying, while Scotland beat the Republic of Ireland 1-0 on Friday to boost their hopes of reaching France 2016.
And Englishman Stubbs said: "I've been thoroughly impressed with how Scotland have been performing under Gordon [Strachan]. I was there on Friday and thought Scotland were the better team.
"I wouldn't be surprised at all if Scotland win the game."
But South African Ryan McLaren then limited the damage by the end of the day as he hit an unbeaten 84 to help Hampshire recover from 87-7 to 189-8.
Bad light interrupted an impressive fightback, forcing an early close.
But left-armer Barker's 5-44 - this season's first five-wicket haul - has given the Bears the upper hand.
After new Warwickshire county captain Ian Bell elect to bowl without a toss under the new regulations on a green-tinged pitch, they were rewarded when Barker struck with his 13th delivery, to find Michael Carberry's edge.
He also removed Carberry's young opening partner Tom Alsop five balls later, also caught behind before claiming a third victim of a ferocious opening spell from the Hotel End when Will Smith gave a catch to short leg, then bagging both Liam Dawson and Sean Ervine lbw.
But McLaren scored his fifth Championship half century - his second in succession after ending last season with 52 against Nottinghamshire.
Reece Topley's 15, in a 51-run stand with McLaren, beat his previous best first-class score of 12 before being comprehensively bowled by England rival Chris Woakes. And McLaren has put on a further 51 runs in a so far unbroken stand with James Tomlinson, who is still there on 15.
The only other Hampshire player to reach double figures were James Vince, who made 25 before mistiming a leading edge off England and Ireland international Boyd Rankin, and Dawson (20).
Hampshire director of cricket Giles White told BBC Radio Solent:
"It was a difficult start. If you lose six wickets in the first session it is far from ideal but credit to Warwickshire. They bowled well. They put us under pressure.
"The new ball moved around. For Barker to get five wickets before lunch is an excellent achievement. He swung the ball consistently and put it in good areas.
"But we fought back well. Ryan McLaren was fantastic under the circumstances and he was well supported by the lower order as well."
Warwickshire fast bowler Keith Barker told BBC Sport:
"It was a brilliant start for me. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The lads have bowled really well and stayed in there.
"We have scrapped quite a bit and they made it quite difficult for us towards the end of the day. But we'd have taken that score before the start.
"A couple of lads saw the wicket yesterday and thought it would be a bowling day. But it took until we saw the wicket ourselves until we decided what to do."
Santa Montefiore said she hoped her sister knew "how much we miss you" and that she was "aware of all the lovely things people have written about you".
Ms Palmer-Tomkinson was laid to rest at a private funeral having died from a perforated ulcer at the age of 45.
Ms Montefiore later shared the eulogy, which was addressed directly to her sister, on social media.
In it the author said they had been "a family of five, but now we are four and that just isn't right.
"I hope you're aware of all the lovely things people have written about you, and that you are touched, because you never believed you lit up a room or made people feel special, but you did. You really did."
She also said she hoped her sister was "resting, because you found life hard and now it is done."
She added that she hoped "you can make rabbit ears and witty rhymes up there, because your loopy humour was your gift to us and now it is your gift to them.
"How they will laugh. I envy them that," she said.
Ms Palmer-Tomkinson rose to fame in the 1990s as a hard-partying "It girl". She received treatment in 2016 for a non-malignant brain tumour.
She was found dead at her flat in South Kensington on 8 February.

McKenzie grabbed his fifth goal of the season in the 12th minute as he fired home from 35 yards after a poor clearance from goalkeeper Zander Clark.
Sean Longstaff almost doubled Killie's lead on the half hour mark, but his shot was well saved by Clark.
Conor Sammon doubled Killie's lead midway through the second half as he headed home Greg Taylor's cross.
Despite their third win in a row at McDiarmid Park, Kilmarnock remain in eighth place in the Premiership as Dundee and Partick Thistle also won.
With Hearts losing at Firhill, St Johnstone missed an opportunity to move into fourth place.
Kilmarnock fully deserved the win in a game in which they always looked the more threatening team.
The side under caretaker Lee McCulloch dominated the first half and created the better of the chances throughout.
Quick thinking and superb execution from McKenzie fired the visitors in front, with the midfielder's spectacular looping shot sailing over Clark.
Killie had gone close just eight minutes earlier when Kris Boyd's free kick from 25 yards was palmed away by the Saints goalkeeper.
David Wotherspoon tested Killie goalkeeper Freddie Woodman with a free kick, but it was easily held.
Conor Sammon then clipped a neat shot goalward from the edge of the area, but Clark stretched full length to beat it away.
Longstaff forced a save from the goalkeeper as the pressure on the home team intensified, but Saints rallied and MacLean's looping header landed on the roof of the net.
St Johnstone had plenty of possession in the second half, but they lacked punch and struggled to test the visitors' goalkeeper.
Sammon added a second for Killie in the 71st minute after finding space at the far post to nod in Greg Taylor's delivery.
Saints continued to work hard but struggled to find a way past the visitors' defence and Killie always looked like they carried the threat of adding to their lead.
They settled for what they had though and that gave them a comfortable and precious away win in Perth.
Tommy Wright St Johnstone Manager
"The first 45 without doubt is the worst I've seen since I've been at the club its was brutal, we didn't do any of the basics well, kept giving the ball away and couldn't get out of our own half, the pitch was bumpy so why did we continue to pass it around our own half and give them opportunities?
We got a reaction in the second half, we were much better, without working the keeper we had opportunities, but we should stop the cross, defend the cross and the keeper should save the header.
We gifted them a goal, Kilmarnock were better but if you look at it we could have got away with a 0-0 if we had defended better, That was poor and we got what we deserved."
Lee McCulloch Kilmarnock Manager
"I'm delighted with the result, delighted with the performance, I thought we stopped St Johnstone playing in the middle of the pitch.
They didn't have any clear cut chances, they are a top team and have a top manager but we're delighted to come here today, score two great goals and have a couple more chances as well.
I thought we looked organised I thought our desire and energy all over the pitch was brilliant today."

Alex McDougall, 77, originally from Scotland, died earlier this month at a care home in Nottinghamshire.
Carers invited anyone with connections to the Army or Mr McDougall's football team Glasgow Rangers to attend.
Broxtowe Borough Council said it had been "overwhelmed" by the public support but warned space was limited.
Staff from the Beeston Fields Care Home appealed for mourners on social media over fears the funeral, which took place at Bramcote Crematorium, would only be attended by a limited number of staff.
Deborah King, from the home, said: "It's so nice that people that have been in the military, veterans and those serving, are taking an interest and showing there are kind people out there.
"He would probably be quite overwhelmed by it all."
Andy Harrison, who is with the Royal Engineers, said it was important to honour a former soldier.
He said: "There's countless others from the station [Chetwynd Barracks} who will be going down... we can't allow his passing to go unmarked."
Sarah Teale, reporter, BBC East Midlands Today
It was quite a moving sight.
There was standard bearers from the Royal British Legion, many people in uniform and the Royal Artillery Corps, some from the Chetwynd Barracks and just members of the public.
They didn't want a funeral where he would be all alone.
They brought flowers, they brought wreaths and more importantly brought the numbers.
The borough council said it was "overwhelmed by the public show of respect" but warned that parking space was limited and the small chapel could accommodate just 46 people.
Mr McDougall moved to the county's Chetwynd Barracks, in Nottinghamshire, from Scotland when he joined the Army at the age of 21.
He spent 18 years at the home and died from cancer.
The social network is struggling on several fronts. In New York, Wall Street investors and analysts are perpetually unimpressed.
And online, social media users are becoming increasingly uninterested as Twitter is dwarfed by Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp and others.
Is there any hope of reversing the decline? Surely, for a platform that boasts world leaders, sports superstars and even Jesus himself (unverified) among its members, there must be some way to find a bright future for Twitter and its bank balance?
Here's what it needs to do to please both investors and users.
Michelle Fleury, BBC Business Reporter, New York
To quote the film Jerry Maguire, "show me the money". Or at least the new users.
That's what Wall Street wants to see.
Twitter shares tanked - falling as much as 10% in after hours trading. Not because its financial performance was terrible but because the company that invented the 140-character tweet failed to add enough new users.
In the last three months, Twitter gained four million new users. Although that is up 11% from a year earlier, the 320 million monthly active users were still short of the 324 million forecast by many analysts here.
It's not a great start for Jack Dorsey, who was confirmed as chief executive earlier this month.
For investors, the number of users and how fast that figure is growing is a measure not just of Twitter's health today, but of its prospects for the future.
Last quarter, when he returned to the helm, Mr Dorsey sent Twitter shares lower after saying that he was not satisfied with user growth and that the product was too complicated to use.
Since then Mr Dorsey, who also runs payments company Square, has set about trying to fix this problem.
Earlier this month he slashed 8% of Twitter's workforce. Almost at the same time, Twitter rolled out Moments, a service that collects tweets and links about noteworthy news events.
And more recently, Twitter released a polling tool that allows users to tweet a poll with two choices.
Mr Dorsey's attempts to revitalise the company he co-founded may only just have begun, but he will have to do a lot more to persuade investors that user growth is just around the corner.

Dave Lee, BBC North America technology reporter, San Francisco
During his conference call with investors, Jack Dorsey cited a punishing statistic about Twitter.
In its target markets - the Western world, basically - Twitter has around 90% brand recognition among the general population. Which figures, it's a household name and a brand that is uttered constantly in the media.
But despite that awareness, it often has less than 30% penetration in those same areas. As in, even though lots of people know about Twitter, few of them are bothering to sign up and get involved.
Why? Mr Dorsey thinks it's too complicated for people to understand. To combat this he's instructed his team to work on tools that make things easier. The flagship feature for this way of thinking is Moments, which gathers tweets based not on who you follow, but what events you are interested in.
"Our products need to change in a fundamental way to attract that next cohort [of users]," Mr Dorsey told investors.
But that will be extremely difficult. Mr Dorsey essentially has to conceive and build the next Twitter, while at the same time not dismantling current Twitter.
The task is even more enormous when you consider very few of the key traits that made Twitter popular were even invented by the company in the first place.
Hashtags? Invented by a user. Retweets? A user. Even the convention of using "@" to mention another Twitter came from a user, albeit sort-of accidentally.
When Mr Dorsey talks about Twitter's mission under his leadership it's one of simplicity and speed. Simple tools, released quickly.
In the pipeline, efforts to enhance Twitter as a place to interact with (and complain at) brands. And if you are a brand, tools that will allow you to monitor how your efforts on Twitter, be it ads or just presence, are performing.

Under Mr Anwar, the so-called People's Alliance coalition had made significant gains and posed the biggest threat to Malaysia's governing coalition since the country's independence.
But in the wake of his arrest the three parties clashed over policies.
Prior to the break up, Prime Minister Najib Razak's own ruling coalition had been struggling to win back votes.
The dispute began over an attempt by the conservative Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) to enforce a form of Islamic law called hudud.
The more liberal and ethnic Chinese-dominated Democractic Action Party (DAP) objected to the move and the two parties voted to sever ties with one another.
Mr Anwar's multi-faith and multi-ethnic Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) declared on Wednesday that the alliance "no longer functions formally."
The future of the opposition is unclear as a few parties say they will still work with each other and some analysts said a reconciliation was possible.
Mr Anwar was in February jailed for five years after losing his appeal on a sodomy charge, which he claims was politically motivated.
The next general elections are due in 2018.

The IOC announced mixed-gender events in athletics, swimming, table tennis and triathlon have been approved for Tokyo.
Stanford could link up with the Brownlee brothers for Team GB in Japan in three years.
"It's fantastic and something I am excited about," said Stanford.
The 29-year-old was fourth in the Rio Olympics individual event after finishing behind her house-mate Vicky Holland.
"The team relay has proved to be a very popular event with the athletes and spectators and audiences," said Stanford.
"The team element is not something we see a lot with triathlon very often, so to be able to compete genuinely as a team will be fantastic.
"It's another medal event for triathlon in the Olympics and the more medal events we can get the better."
In the meantime, she competes in the World Series event in Leeds on Sunday.
Stanford could be one of a number of Welsh sportswomen to benefit from changes to mixed gender events.
Double Olympic swimming silver medallist and Commonwealth Games champion Jazz Carlin could target the 1500m freestyle after previous 400m and 800m success.
Fellow swimmers Georgia Davies and Chloe Tutton might be contenders for the 4x100m medley mixed relay, while Olympic athlete Seren Bundy-Davies would be in line for a place on the track in the 4x400m mixed relay.
The introduction of the Madison in the cycling programme could benefit Olympic team pursuit champion Elinor Barker, while mixed team events in the judo could benefit 2014 Commonwealth Games champion Natalie Powell.
Tokyo will have five more sports than Rio, taking the total to 33, but the existing sports have been given 15 more events.

Jim Halliday spotted the pair squabbling over bird food left outside his home in Annan.
Nature-lover Jim was in his garage at the time with a camera to hand.
"I had just put down some cheese on an old stone bird bath, then these guys appeared and started scrapping for a free meal," he said.
"I managed to turn round at the noise they were making and snapped away quickly.
"I always carry my camera everywhere, you just never know with nature."
Jim couldn't believe the "once-in-a lifetime" shot he had captured. He took up photography as a hobby three years ago.
He posted his photo to his Facebook page and got a fantastic response. Many commented that the starlings appeared to be locked in a dance.
"I have been overwhelmed with the beautiful comments," said Jim.
"I have many nature and photography groups on my page and the reaction has been hugely appreciated."
The Finance Committee's report said a law was needed to strengthen the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales' powers, so he can start an investigation without first needing a complaint.
Ombudsman Nick Bennett said there was a chance for AMs to "hit the ground running" to help improve services.
He had called for the power to hold his own inquiries last year.
The AMs also recommended the ombudsman's jurisdiction should include private healthcare providers.
Committee chairwoman Jocelyn Davies said: "We sincerely hope this legislation is taken forward during the fifth assembly and that its implementation will enhance the role of the ombudsman and increase public confidence in Wales."
Philip Whitehouse, who farms in Mitcheldean, said he had lost 12 sheep in three dog attacks since July.
A Gloucestershire firm that trains dogs how to behave near farm animals said attacks were becoming more common.
Gloucestershire Police urged owners to keep their dogs on leads when near livestock in the countryside.
Mr Whitehouse said: "In July we had seven lambs killed, in the second attack two or three dogs were involved and four sheep drowned, and in the last attack two or three sheep were injured and one had to be put down.
"We've never had three attacks in a short space of time before."
Keith Fallon from Cotswold Pet Services, which trains dogs how to behave, said: "We've seen a rise of attacks by dogs on all types of livestock, and not just livestock - we've also seen attacks on cyclists and joggers, and car chasing."
David George, from the National Farmers Union (NFU) in the South West, said: "There's no such thing as a bad dog - it's bad owners.
"It's important that people know where their dogs are and what they're doing, and they don't just let them off [the lead] to run unsupervised."
Gloucestershire Police's rural and environmental crime liaison officer, Sgt Simon Clemett, said: "Nationally there probably is an increase [in attacks].
"Within Gloucestershire we're seeing it more because we're taking more of an interest, and we're taking action against it."
He said police were working with the farming community and the NFU, and signs were being erected on land where public footpaths crossed farmland, to warn dog owners to keep their dogs on leads.
The 18 piglets and two sows survived the fire in Wiltshire in February, which saw 60 tonnes of hay catch fire.
In a potentially controversial move, farmer Rachel Rivers thanked the Pewsey fire team by giving them sausages.
She said: "I'm sure vegetarians will hate this." The firefighters however said the bangers were "fantastic".
More reaction to this story and other news from across the West of England.
The animals were given a six-month stay of execution when they were rescued from the farm at Milton Lilbourne.
But, having been reared for meat they have since been slaughtered and the sausages were delivered to the fire station team, which barbecued them.
"I wanted to thank them. I promised them at the time I'd bring down some sausages for them, which they were all pleased about," Ms Rivers said.
Asked if she though this was a "strange or unusual" way of saying thanks, she said farming is her livelihood and way of life.
"I gave those animals the best quality of life I could ever give until the time they go to slaughter and they go into the food chain.
"You do feel sad at the end of it... but to bring them down for their [the firefighters] Monday night practice was a good way of saying 'thank you'."
The delighted firefighters said the sausages were "highly recommended".
A spokesman for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Our thanks to the farmer for her generosity. We can tell no porkies, the sausages were fantastic."
But he never met the Welsh funeral directors doing their best to make people laugh, smile and feel comfortable at the send off of their loved ones.
They have helped mourners with comedy music and scattered ashes using fireworks.
BBC Wales spoke to some of those gently ushering tradition into the 21st Century, while maintaining the sanctity of a time-honoured profession.
Gemma O'Driscoll, of GE O'Driscoll and Daughters, in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, has helped to arrange a funeral for a comedy-lover who had insisted no-one wear black and the Benny Hill TV programme theme be played.
"If the family want me to wear a onesie, I wear a onesie - if the family want me head-to-toe in pink, I'll wear pink," she said.
"To see a room full of people smiling and laughing during the funeral service is really something quite different," she said.
"There's definitely a change toward more of this kind of thing and I think we'll see much greater change going forward."
There are 500 funerals in Wales every week.
And third generation funeral director Gareth Jenkins, of the Baglan Funeral Home, in Neath Port Talbot, has overseen thousands of ceremonies, averaging up to 10 a week.
"When I first started it was very traditional - church, maybe, or chapel, whereas now it's more a celebration of life," he said.
Unconventional ceremonies in Wales have seen an organic wool cocoon used instead of a coffin, motorbikes and HGVs replacing hearses and ashes compressed into diamonds and crystals.
"It's so important that the last memory they [mourners] have of somebody is a pleasant one and any little thing that we can do to make that special, we have to do," Mr Jenkins added.
His wife, Christine, has become an expert at making the dead look their best, curling their hair, colouring their lips and ensuring they are dressed in their own clothes and glasses, if requested.
A magician's wand was ceremonially broken and placed in the coffin at one funeral service in Newport.
Ashes were also shot into the air using a firework display in Swansea while another service took place where no-one attended - as the deceased wished.
The unlikely episodes are all featured in BBC One Wales' A Very Welsh Undertaking, a four-part programme exploring the work of those for whom death is a way of life.
James Tovey, of Tovey Brothers, in Newport, arranged a farmer's funeral with his coffin taken past his land on a tractor trailer, led by a cortege of vintage agricultural vehicles.
"I hope he'd be very pleased if he were looking down on us," he said.
Former champion power-lifter Helen Williams, who lives in the borders of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, now organises non-religious ceremonies as a funeral celebrant.
Ms Williams, who once squatted a then-record 200kg (31.5 stone), said: "The power-lifting has prepared me for this in a strange way. You're carrying the weight of responsibility."
She said reflecting on the person who has died is "core" to non religious funerals, which are becoming more popular.
"Every part of the ceremony is related to that person," she added.
Latin phrase, media vita in morte sumus - in the midst of life, we are in death - is often used to evoke the fleeting nature of human mortality.
But the opposite is also true, with death sometimes acting as a catalyst in life for those in the trade.
It certainly provided a fateful introduction for Ceredigion funeral director, Maldwyn Lewis, when he met his now-wife, the Reverend Carys Ann.

The BBC can also reveal that solicitors and barristers are to take Justice Minister David Ford to court in an attempt to have the new rules declared illegal.
It is a development that could have a profound impact on the criminal justice system in Northern Ireland.
In court in Belfast on Tuesday, a man facing sexual assault charges was remanded in custody.
But at that point his solicitor told the judge he would not be applying for legal aid to represent his client, or to appoint a senior and junior barrister.
Instead, solicitor Joe McVeigh said he would no longer be involved in the case as part of protest against new legal aid rules and reduced fees introduced earlier this month.
Mr McVeigh told the court that the new legal aid rules were "a cynical and vicious attack" on defence lawyers by the Department of Justice.
He said the latest round of cuts would result in defence teams not being able to properly represent those charged with the most serious crimes.
He then announced that the law firm, Kevin Winters & Company - the largest in Northern Ireland - was withdrawing from all of the most serious criminal cases.
The statement was greeted by applause from other solicitors in the court.
Kevin Winters & Company last year carried out more legal aid work than any other law firm in Northern Ireland and received payments of just over £2m.
It has now said that it will refuse to act in the most complex and serious criminal cases.
Those are the cases where legal aid fees have been highest and where the greatest cuts have been made.
Mr McVeigh said: "We can't resource these cases, these extremely difficult cases, extremely involved cases, for the fees that have been set out by the Department of Justice.
"Wider society demands that the innocent are acquitted and convictions are safe. What the Department of Justice proposes in terms of resources can deliver neither.
"The law society, not just clients, require us to do work to a certain level of professionalism. What seems to be coming out of Stormont is: 'Well, actually we'd prefer you just to do it to the bare minimum', but we can't do these cases to the bare minimum, that's unprofessional conduct."
A short distance from the court, solicitors from throughout Northern Ireland gathered for a special meeting in the offices of their governing body to discuss their response to the new rules.
The bar council, which represents barristers, also met on Tuesday. It is understood a large number of its members support withdrawing their services.
Both groups say the new rules undermine their ability to do their jobs.
The justice minister, David Ford, says his new legal aid rules are essential and fair.
Solicitors and barristers disagree, but they also go much further. they claim the new rules are actually illegal.
Now, in an unprecedented move, the Law Society and bar council are joining forces to take legal action.
They are taking the minister to court in an attempt to have his new rules overturned. | Hartlepool United have signed midfielder Jake Gray from Premier League side Crystal Palace on a month-long youth loan.

Players' wives and children were among those affected by the incidents, which saw players go into the stand to assist their families.
The appeal, which has exceeded an initial target of £500, was set up by Red Devils supporters on Wednesday.
In addition, the fans plan to issue a full letter of apology.
The statement from a group of Red Devils fans read: "Salford Red Devils fans are a proud and passionate bunch. We have always enjoyed a great relationship with the players and their families of our club and we are adamant that this incident will not affect this.
"Instead, we see it as an opportunity to strengthen the relationship between players and fans and ensure they are fully aware that the actions of a few do not represent that of the majority.
"As a token of our compassion and in an attempt to say 'we are sorry' to the players, the coaches, the owner and their families, we are aiming to raise enough money to purchase the wives of the players involved in the incident with a bouquet of flowers, as well as gift vouchers for the children with any spare funds donated to a charity of the players' choice."
It is hoped that gifts will be presented at Salford's home game with Leeds Rhinos on Saturday, 9 April.
The five-part series has received 3m requests on the catch-up service, more than the England v Wales match at Euro 2016 - which had 2.8m requests.
Seven of the 20 most popular iPlayer programmes were on BBC Three, which moved online earlier this year.
Murdered By My Father and the first episode of Greg Davies comedy Cuckoo each received more than 1.5m requests.
Other shows to pass the 1m request mark in 2016 included Fleabag, Life And Death Row, The Insider with Reggie Yates and Stacey Dooley documentary Sex In Strange Places.
BBC Three's iPlayer popularity comes in spite of it now offering fewer programmes.
When it became an online service in February, many shows - such as Don't Tell The Bride and Family Guy - were bought by other networks.
But the network continued to produce original programming for iPlayer and its other online services, including a bespoke YouTube channel.
Speaking about the latest figures, BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh said: "These are still early days for BBC Three and I'm incredibly proud of what we have achieved in such a short space of time."
"Reinventing the BBC's offer for young people won't happen overnight, it's a marathon not a sprint, but the early signs are very encouraging."
As part of BBC Three's move online, the channel committed to spending 20% of its £30m budget on non-TV content including written articles, animations and social media content, in an attempt to attract younger audiences.
The BBC Trust, which approved the move, said there was "clear public value in moving BBC Three online, as independent evidence shows younger audiences are watching more online and watching less linear TV".
However, commercial rivals claim that the amount of time young viewers consuming BBC content has fallen since BBC Three ceased broadcasting on television.
Thinkbox TV, whose shareholders include Sky, ITV and Channel 4, published a report on Monday suggesting commercial TV viewing by young people increased after BBC Three went online.
ITV2, which broadcasts a considerable number of youth-focused programmes such as Love Island, Family Guy and Celebrity Juice, saw an increase of 27% year-on-year in time viewers spent watching the channel between March and June.

It has been a month since she was attacked in Pakistan's Punjab province.
I say that he told me that he had not intended to kill her, just teach her a lesson so that no girl from the family would dare to consider eloping again.
She leans back and says dismissively: "He's lying." She is 18 years old and slight, with fierce eyes, one of which is still bloodshot from her injuries.
The man who allegedly colluded with four others to end her life is her father - Maqsood Ahmed.
When I met him behind bars in Gujranwala central jail, where I wasn't allowed to take any recording equipment, he was unrepentant.
I asked him whether there was more shame in being in jail for attempting to murder his own daughter than in her act of elopement.
He denies attempting to murder her saying he just wanted to teach her a lesson: "[Being in jail], it's a life of honour. I haven't committed a crime. I haven't robbed anyone. If I had wanted to kill her, I would have done it at home."
Saba's left hand is still bandaged where a bullet shot through it; her face marked with a long scar across her cheek where another bullet grazed it.
She says the day after she married her fiance Qaiser, her father and uncle took her from her in-laws' home - after swearing on the Koran that no harm would come to her - shot at her and dumped her body in a canal in a sack.
She says she married her neighbour - to whom she had been engaged for a couple of years - secretly at his house because her family had been pressuring her to get married to someone else.
The day after the ceremony, her family came to collect her and took her back to her parent's home.
"It was a dark and moonless night. We were in a Toyota pick-up with a lot of people, my father, uncle, his wife and three of my uncle's friends. They had said they wanted to get some wheat. But then we reached the jungle where there are several canals. I became suspicious."
Saba tells me that she was ordered to get out of the car and she begged them not to hurt her.
"Is what I've done so bad? Why can't you forgive me?" she asked.
But they dragged her out anyway, slapping her and then firing at her twice, she reports. The second time, she fainted. When she came round, she found herself in a sack in a canal.
"The waves in the canal carried me close to the shore. I grabbed a hold of some weeds and pulled myself out. I kept walking until I reached a petrol pump, and a man there called the emergency services."
At hospital Saba recorded a statement against her father with the police.
Her father says that he found out that Saba was in the hospital in the morning, but insists that he had left her by the canal as a warning.
"I hit her with a metal object and left her there to punish her," he admits. "Our neighbours had come to our house and raised a fuss that she had run away. It was a great shame for my family. I couldn't help myself, my emotions got the better of me."
The doctor's report clearly says that Saba's injuries resulted from bullet wounds, not a blunt instrument.
Now, Maqsood and Saba's uncle are on trial for attempted murder and kidnap - based on her testimony.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan says there were 869 reported honour-killings last year.
According to the UN, one in five such cases worldwide happen in Pakistan. But figures of convictions are harder to come by.
"Honour crimes are filed in the lower courts and anti-terror courts, as murders or attempted murders," says human rights lawyer Hina Jillani, who has tried several such cases.
But provisions in Pakistani allow for perpetrators to be set free if the victim or heirs of the victim agree to reconcile.
"Unfortunately, the law in the country is very flawed and weighed in favour of impunity for honour-killings. In most cases, it will end in a compromise.
"First, the family will conspire to kill the woman and then conspire to forgive the person who pulled the trigger," Hina Jillani adds.
Saba, too, is being put under pressure from her in-laws and elders in the community to settle the matter out of court.
She shrugs: "I don't want to forgive them. I don't want to meet my father or uncle again." Her mother and eight siblings live close by but she has no desire to meet them either.
Her mother-in-law is sitting opposite us on a cot in the courtyard, a burly woman cleaning rice for the evening meal.
She says Saba has no choice but to settle because life in a community means compromise.
"If today we refuse to reconcile, what will happen tomorrow when my other children are in trouble?"
But she also understands Maqsood Ahmed's fury.
"When somebody impugns your family's honour, it hurts. Saba is now our honour, and I'm a very strong woman, I won't even let her step out of the house."
Saba made her choice, but there is a glimmer of sadness in her eyes. She fought hard to be with the man she loves but her life is likely to be a restricted one.
David Shepherd, 26, of Stratton, Cornwall, drove 50 miles and took four trains after realising he had forgotten to get it in the post.
The passport had to get to customer Hugh Munro in Rye, Sussex, by 09:00 BST the following day so that his planned visit to Amsterdam could go ahead.
Mr Shepherd said his instinct was to "keep the customer happy".
Mr Munro was heading to the Dutch capital for a charity board meeting after stopping off at his sister's house in Rye.
Mr Shepherd, who has been postmaster at Stratton Store for 11 months, said: "I knew it was vital he had it.
"His neighbour brought it in. But it wasn't given to the postman at collection time, so I finished work at 7pm and drove to Exeter to catch the 1am train to London."
Mr Shepherd drove 50 miles to Exeter; caught the train to London Paddington; took the Tube to St Pancras; a further train to Ashford, Kent; and a final train to Rye.
He had just 15 minutes to deliver the passport before catching the train straight back, a journey which cost him more than £150.
Mr Shepherd said: "I just thought, 'I know the customer, I know it has to get there'. I didn't want to let him down."
Mr Munro said he was "amazed" to hear that Mr Shepherd had beaten him to his sister's house.
"It shows how dedicated he is," said Mr Munro. "Stratton is a fantastic place and David is a brilliant part of it.
"People keep stopping me in the street and asking if I've got my passport, though."
Mr Monro gave Mr Shepherd a bottle of champagne as a thank you for his efforts.
"If the Post Office has an award scheme for going above and beyond the call of duty, he should definitely receive recognition," Mr Munro added.
The Safe Haven bus will be outside Doncaster's Mansion House in High Street on "Mad Fridays" in the run-up to Christmas.
Those behind the project said it was the first of its kind in Yorkshire.
They said they hoped the service would help take pressure off local A&E services.
Emergency attendances to Doncaster Royal Infirmary increased by 13% in 2015, compared with 2013.
A social worker, mental health worker, street pastors, nurses and healthcare assistants will offer practical and medical support.
The project is a collaboration between Doncaster's Public Health Team, Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), Street Pastors, Pubwatch, South Yorkshire Police, Doncaster Council and the local Clinical Commissioning Group.
Project manager Andy Collins said: "It's not just about reducing the amount of people who head to A&E due to excessive alcohol or alcohol-related injury or illness.
"When people have had a drink they are more likely to be vulnerable and we can offer help and support to keep them safe."
The converted bus was outside Doncaster Mansion House on Saturday night giving out advice and contraception, and phoning homes.
An ambulance is stationed alongside the bus will be there for paramedics to decide whether to send someone to A&E.
"We're trying to get people in taxis to go to A&E rather than phone ambulances, and provide a safe place for young people to sit and wait for a taxi or for their parents," Mr Collins said.
It will return on 16 and 23 December from 20:00 until 04:00 GMT.
There are plans to set up the bus in the town centre on Saturday nights and bank holidays from June to September.
Ministers say the current police-funding model is "out of date" and have launched a consultation on using a range of factors to decide how much forces in England and Wales receive.
These could include population size and the physical aspects of a force's area.
The justice minister said the plans would make police funding fairer.
The funding consultation will look at how best to replace the Police Allocation Formula (PAF), which has been used for nearly 10 years.
Currently the PAF does not calculate what police forces need individually.
Under the proposals, funding would take into account five features of local areas including:
Under the system, central funding for policing would be divided according to the weighting of each indicator, then allocated to each force depending on their "score" for each of the factors.
The consultation document says the third and fourth elements are "two socio-economic factors that are closely correlated with the patterns of crime seen between different areas over time".
It adds: "The government feels that these two factors are sufficiently representative of the differences between forces.
"They are highly correlated with other demographic and socio-economic factors that were considered."
Justice Minister Mike Penning said the reforms would put police funding "on a long-term, sustainable footing".
He said: "The current model for allocating police funding is complex, opaque and out-of-date. This consultation sets out proposals to deliver a police-funding model for the future which is fair, robust and transparent."
A spokesperson for the Home Office said it wanted to bring in the new formula "as soon as it was appropriate" and was seeking views on what "transitional arrangements" would be needed if it was implemented in the next financial year.
Further work will be carried out to refine the model before it is introduced.
The proposed overhaul comes amid debate over how the police service should be organised in the face of reduced resources from government.
Last month, the National Audit Office warned the government had "insufficient information" on how much further police funding could be cut without "degrading services".
The ticket plus coach packages went on sale at 18:00 BST on Thursday and were all gone by 18:23.

General tickets to the 2017 event - which runs from 21 to 25 June at Worthy Farm in Somerset - will be released at 09:00 on Sunday.
No acts have yet been announced, though Daft Punk and Kraftwerk have been tipped as potential headliners.
Thursday's ticket issue saw buyers purchase tickets priced £238 per person in conjunction with coach tickets from various UK locations.
Online traffic was reportedly so heavy that many would-be purchasers were unable to access the official festival website.
Last year, the 118,200 standard tickets were snapped up in half an hour.

Ex-Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Williams and Muslim and Jewish faith leaders are among those to sign the open letter to Theresa May.
It describes the camp as "a stain" on France's and Britain's conscience.
The UK government stressed it was committed to resettling vulnerable children.
Meanwhile, a Red Cross report - No Place for Children - has said lone children with family in the UK are being left to fend for themselves because of bureaucracy.
French president Francois Hollande has said the Jungle will be cleared before winter, with its 9,000 inhabitants due to be dispersed around the country.
The letter to Mrs May was organised by the Citizens UK charity.
It tells Mrs May that the children, the youngest of whom is eight, "have fled conflict and persecution [and] are now stuck in northern France, deeply traumatised and at great risk, as well-documented by the anti-slavery commissioner you yourself appointed while home secretary".
It adds: "None of us want the Calais 'Jungle' to exist. It is a stain on the conscience of both France and Britain.
"But in haste to clear it, the need to protect children is even more paramount.
"During the last such demolition, the charity Help Refugees documented that 129 children went missing. The time to act is now."
Other signatories to the letter, which echoes an appeal by Unicef last week, include Muslim Council of Britain secretary general Harun Rashid Khan and Laura Janner-Klausner, the senior rabbi to the Movement of Reform Judaism.
They are joined by the bishops of Durham, Manchester, Barking, Stepney and Southwark.
Charities estimate there are about 1,000 unaccompanied minors in the Jungle and about 400 could be resettled in the UK.
They say about 200 could be resettled under the EU's Dublin regulation, which allows lone refugee children to be placed in a country where they have a relative who can be responsible for their care.
An amendment to the Immigration Act also requires the government to arrange for the transfer to the UK of unaccompanied refugee children from Europe.
The Red Cross report found failures at every point in the process of reuniting children from the camp with their relatives in the UK.
It said the process took about 11 months, often because of basic administrative errors and staff shortages in Calais, which left children disillusioned and desperate.
Three children, who had a legal right to join family in the UK, have died trying to make their own way to the UK, the charity said.
Alex Fraser, from the British Red Cross, said: "Children with a legal right to be here should be on the Eurostar across the channel, not being dispersed somewhere else in France, with no idea when they can join their family."
A Home Office spokeswoman said the camp's clearance was a matter for the French authorities, and that the UK had made "crystal clear its commitment to resettle vulnerable children".
She added: "We continue to work with the French government and partner organisations to speed up mechanisms to identify, assess and transfer unaccompanied refugee children to the UK, where this is in their best interests."
He was already ruled out of Scarlets' Pro12 clash against Edinburgh on Friday following an injury that ruled him out of their 43-0 Pro12 win over Treviso on Saturday.
The Parc y Scarlets captain, 27, pulled out ahead of kick-off last weekend.
"Scans have confirmed the he's injured a disc in his neck," said Scarlets head of performance Andrew Walker.
"After a thorough process, involving consultations with three neck specialists, we have decided that surgery is the best course of action."
Wales face games on successive weekends in November against Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and South Africa.
Owens has won 26 caps and took over from then-injured Richard Hibbard on Wales' two-Test series against South Africa in June.
Scarlets captain Owens scored a try in Wales' 31-30 second Test defeat.
His tour understudy was former Scarlets skipper Matthew Rees, who returned for Cardiff Blues after treatment for testicular cancer during the 2013-14 season.
Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac said: "It's a shame for both Ken on a personal level and the team as a whole that he will require surgery on the injury he received earlier last week to his neck."
Ospreys hooker Scott Baldwin was the third hooker on tour to South Africa, but he did not appear in the Test-match squads.
Hibbard has since returned to fitness from shoulder surgery to begin his life at Gloucester following an off-season move from Ospreys.
With winds of up to 120km/h expected, the stage will finish six kilometres down the mountain at Chalet Reynard.
Tour director Christian Prudhomme said: "The riders' safety is paramount."
Britain's Chris Froome, who won the last summit finish on Mont Ventoux in 2013 on the way to the first of his two Tour titles, called the decision "the right thing to do".
The defending champion and current yellow jersey holder, second to Peter Sagao on stage 10, added: "Everyone wants to see a great show but the most important thing for the riders is safety.
"Of course I was looking forward to doing Ventoux - it's the most iconic climb, the most legendary climb in this year's race.
"There are gale force winds and it just wouldn't be safe for the riders, so thank you to the organisers for making the decision."
However, Froome said the move would not detract from the importance of a finish on Ventoux, on Bastille Day, the French national holiday.
"I don't think it really changes too much," he said. "The climb until Chalet Reynard is extremely hard. A lot of wind is predicted.
"There could be a split (in the peloton) even before the climb. I don't know what to expect. If anything it's going to mean an even more intense race before we hit the climb because it's going to be shorter."
The ascent will still be 15km and the final 10km will feature an average gradient of around 9%.
On hearing the news, world champion Sagan, who is not renowned as a climber, said: "It's going to be 6km shorter? Wow, nice!"
The ascent of Mont Ventoux achieved notoriety on 13 July 1967 when Britain's first world road race champion Tommy Simpson died close to the summit after taking a cocktail of amphetamines and alcohol in an attempt to combat fatigue.
NFU Scotland president Allan Bowie said only a third of Scotland's farmers had so far received their Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) claims.
The payments have been affected by major issues with the IT system used to administer them.
The Scottish government said farmers would be paid as quickly as possible.
And it said the complexity of the new CAP system had also hindered the process.
Reforms to the CAP system saw the Single Farm Payment Scheme replaced by the new Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) last year.
The BPS is the main EU subsidy available to farmers in Scotland, with the money being allocated by the Scottish government.
The payments are designed to act as a safety net for farmers and crofters by supplementing their main business income.
Mr Bowie told delegates at NFU Scotland's annual general meeting in St Andrews that many Scottish farms and crofts were under "severe pressure" as a result of the delays, coupled with the adverse weather and volatility across all sectors.
He added: "The worry and stress of not knowing when support streams will start to flow is starting to impact on the health of our hard-working farmers.
"We need to start seeing movement and delivery before purdah comes into play for May's Scottish Parliamentary elections and the chance to publicly call our politicians to account is lost."
Mr Bowie said initial estimates for the Total Farm Income figure for Scotland in 2015 showed a decrease of 15%.
This would only the second time this century that incomes have fallen for two consecutive years, he added.
Mr Bowie also said there was a knock-on impact for the rest of Scotland's rural economy.
He added: "Twenty months on from the cabinet secretary's initial statement on CAP implementation, the majority of Scottish farmers still remain completely unaware of when they will receive support payment under the new schemes.
"To date, only a small share of basic payments and greening payments have been made so far and, compared to this time last year, around £440m is outstanding to farmers.
"That is the hole in the Scottish rural economy that Scottish government is responsible for and the reason why the wheels have stopped turning in the Scottish countryside."
Scottish Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead is to address delegates at the NFU Scotland AGM on Friday morning.
The issue was raised by Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson in the Scottish Parliament.
Ms Davidson claimed that the first minister had "lost the trust of rural Scotland" as a result of the delays to payments.
In response, Nicola Sturgeon said the Scottish government was working to ensure that payments are given to farmers as quickly as possible.
She added: "It is true that processing payments has taken longer than we intended due to the complexities of the new CAP system and we have been open with farmers and with industry about these complexities and what we are doing to address them."
Ms Sturgeon said the payments began at the end of December and as of last week 35% had been made.
Ford, whose father Mike was replaced by Blackadder, scored four penalties and two drop-goals, while Saints fly-half Harry Mallinder missed two penalties.
Nic Groom scored two late tries for Saints on his debut, but Bath held on.
The win was dampened for Bath as Wales back row Taulupe Faletau left the field with injury early on his debut.
Faletau's premature exit ended his battle with debutant Saints number eight Louis Picamoles, but the France international was unable to influence the scoreline.
The Blue, Black and Whites controlled the game in the Northamptonshire rain, but Saints could have gone in level had Mallinder, who played at centre and full-back last season but started in the 10 shirt on Saturday, made his kicks.
Saints' ill-discipline was something that cost them last season when they gave away 239 penalties and it continued to creep into their play on Saturday.
Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder: "It was difficult. We haven't had any rain in training and it is a completely different game when it rains. We are all learning, but there were some positive aspects as well.
"We want to get our balance right between our attacking and defensive game and we will be swapping and changing throughout the season.
"Defensively we were very strong, generally they didn't create any chances and we were putting them under a lot of pressure, but attacking-wise we still have some things work on."
Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder: "I am just impressed with him [George Ford] as a young man. He showed out there he can put all the distractions behind him and get on with his rugby.
"In that first half the players absorbed so much pressure and George kept the scoreboard ticking. We still had belief at half-time and the first 20 minutes after the break were outstanding.
"Our forward pack worked so hard. I said at half-time we were winning this game because of them. We put a lot of pressure on their line-out, which was one of their weapons and worked really hard defensively.
"There is a really good framework here. There is not a lot you want to change, just a few tweaks, a little bit of belief, some systems and new ideas and making sure we have the culture right."
Northampton: Foden; K Pisi, G Pisi, Burrell; Tuala, Mallinder, Dickson; Waller, Hartley, Brookes, Lawes, Paterson, Wood (capt), Gibson, Picamoles.
Replacements: Clare, Ma'afu, Hill, Dickinson, Harrison, Groom, Myler, North.

The gap between hourly earnings of the two sexes becomes steadily wider after women become mothers, the IFS says.
Over the subsequent 12 years, women's hourly pay rate falls 33% behind men's.
The IFS says this is partly because women who return to work often do so in a part-time capacity and miss out on opportunities for promotion.
Robert Joyce, one of the IFS report's authors, said women who chose to cut their hours on returning to work were not penalised with an immediate cut in their hourly wages.
However, he said: "Rather, women who work half-time lose out on subsequent wage progression, meaning that the hourly wages of men (and of women in full-time work) pull further and further ahead."
Six ways to tackle the gender pay gap
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "It is scandalous that millions of women still suffer a motherhood pay penalty.
"Many are forced to leave better-paid jobs due to the pressure of caring responsibilities and the lack of flexible working."
Men are 40% more likely than women to be promoted into management roles, separate research by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and XpertHR found.
Mark Crail, content director at XpertHR, said: "The gender pay gap is not primarily about men and women being paid differently for doing the same job.
"It's much more about men being present in greater numbers than women the higher up the organisation you go. Our research shows that this gap begins to open up at relatively junior levels and widens - primarily because men are more likely to be promoted."
On average, women earn 18% less per hour than men, according to the IFS research.
However, this gap between men's and women's hourly pay rates has been closing in recent decades - it was 23% in 2003 and 28% in 1993.
But after women return to work following the birth of a first child, that wage difference per hour widens steadily.
"This apparent wage penalty for taking time out of paid work is greater for more highly educated women, at 4% for each year out of paid work," the IFS found.
"The lowest-educated women (who actually take more time out of paid work after childbirth) do not seem to pay this particular penalty, probably because they have less wage progression to miss out on."
The Fawcett Society, which campaigns for equality, said more quality part-time jobs were needed to address the pay gap.
Sam Smethers, Fawcett's chief executive, said: "Part-time workers can be the most productive, yet reduced hours working becomes a career cul-de-sac for women from which they can't recover."
The IFS found that in the 20 years following the arrival of a first child, the average woman had worked for four years fewer than men.
And men had spent nine years more than women working for 20 hours a week or more.
Labour's shadow women and equalities minister Angela Rayner said: "There is little incentive for those young women who have just qualified with their A-levels and are considering university, to see that in the future they will still be paid less than the men they study alongside."
Earlier this year the government announced plans, to start in 2017, under which 8,000 employers with more than 250 staff will have to reveal the number of men and women in each pay range, and show where the pay gaps are at their widest.
A government spokeswoman said: "The gender pay gap is the lowest on record but we know we need to make more progress and faster."
In Scotland, the gender pay gap is the worst in the UK according to the CMI. Standing at 29.2%, the gap represents a £10,862 pay difference between genders.
In Northern Ireland, however, hourly earnings for women working full-time pulled slightly ahead of full-time male earnings for the first time in 2010. The trend has continued over the last five years, except in 2012 when average earnings were the same.
The Office for National Statistics has suggested this is in part to do with a higher proportion of public sector jobs in Northern Ireland compared with the rest of the UK.
Rosa King, 34, died at Hamerton Zoo Park in Cambridgeshire at about 11:15 BST on Monday.
Police attended the scene, but on Tuesday morning said Ms King's death was "non suspicious" and they were not investigating.
They have now said while the "circumstances" are not suspicious, her death is still "unexplained".
A joint investigation by police and Huntingdonshire District Council - which is responsible for licensing the zoo - is under way.
A Cambridgeshire Police spokeswoman said the decision to collaborate on the case had been made on Tuesday afternoon.
More news from Cambridgeshire
A spokesman for the zoo said it was "co-operating fully with the investigation".
The district council said: "Both the police and the council are working together within routine protocols to progress investigations into the incident as efficiently and effectively as possible."
Peter Davis, who was at the zoo with his family when the tragedy occurred, said when they were told to evacuate the area he and others sheltered in a room near the enclosure.
He said: "As we came out, we were sort of ushered further away, but we were still looking at what was going on, and you could obviously see the keepers all distressed, not really knowing what to do, heads in their hands.
"A couple of them were throwing meat over the enclosure to try and entice the tiger away, but it was going on probably for 10 to 15 minutes."
Ms King, who is understood to be from Chippenham, in Wiltshire, was dedicated to her job at the zoo where she had worked for 14 years, her mother said on Tuesday.
"She wouldn't have done anything else, it's what she has always done," her mother Andrea King said.
The tiger that killed Ms King has not been put down and was unharmed, police said on Tuesday.
In an earlier statement released by Hamerton Zoo Park on the day of the incident, the zoo described it as a "freak accident", adding: "At no point during the incident did any animals escape their enclosures and at no point was public safety affected in any way."
When the zoo was inspected by district council officials in 2012, concerns were raised about "escape protocol" and damaged fencing, as The Telegraph reported.
The inspection report seen by the BBC mentioned the need to "review, repair and replace [an] ageing/damaged perimeter fence where the structural integrity of the fence is compromised" and said "the escape protocol should be amended to to categorise animals of varying sizes".
"Reliance on mobile phones... in an emergency" was also highlighted, and the zoo advised to implement a system whereby all staff could be "contacted simultaneously".
Chris Draper, associate director for animal welfare at the Born Free Foundation, said of the report's findings: "While there are some concerns, it is impossible to say whether there is anything here that directly relates to what happened on Monday."
A district council spokeswoman said she "cannot confirm whether this is the latest inspection report, nor... whether the findings within that report have been complied with" as the officers dealing with the case were unavailable.
The BBC has asked Hamerton Park Zoo to comment on the inspection.

Mohammed Hussain, 58, was accused of taking the child by the hand, leading her away from her mum, and towards the doors of River Island on 10 July 2015.
The father of three has been found not guilty of the alleged offence at Glasgow Sherriff Court.
His wife Joanne, 54, was also acquitted when it was ruled there was no evidence against her.
Mr Hussain said: "I am grateful that justice and common sense has prevailed.
"The last 12 months have been a living nightmare, helped only by the support of my sons and family who never doubted my innocence."
During a police interview the child - now six - told officers that a man had taken her hand while she was out shopping with her mum.
The girl told officers she was beside her mum when the man took her hand and began leading her out the door.
Mr Hussain protested his innocence throughout saying "it was an innocent thing that happened". He had been out shopping with his wife when the alleged offence took place.
The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) said it had transferred ownership of the landmark city centre Odeon cinema back to the council.
The 1930s venue, which played host to acts including The Beatles, has been derelict since it closed in 2000.
Bradford Council said it was now inviting bids for "commercially viable" ideas to save the building.
The nearby site of the former police station in The Tyrls has also been transferred back to council ownership, the HCA said.
The agency said it had provided £3.5m funding to the council to prepare both sites for development.
The former Odeon building was bought in 2003 by regional development agency Yorkshire Forward, which later entered into a development agreement with Langtree Artisan.
That agreement, which would have seen the demolition of the building, was scrapped in September 2012 after the HCA took over the Odeon site following the abolition of Yorkshire Forward.
David Green, Bradford Council's leader, said plans for the "regeneration and transformation" of the city centre could now go ahead.
"Acquiring the former Odeon means we can now examine commercially viable ideas to save the building which many have fought to keep over the last decade while it has stood empty.
"It has always been our policy to find a sustainable future for the Odeon."
Several ideas for the future of the site have previously been put forward, including turning it into an arts centre or music venue.
GB failed to progress from their pool at this year's Olympics in Rio.
Crutchley, 46, conceded it had been a "difficult few months", but is now targeting medals at the 2018 World Cup in India and the 2020 Olympics.
"The start of a new cycle is a chance to freshen things up. We get a chance to start with a new focus," he said.
"We are ultimately in the business of winning hockey matches and tournaments and we're excited to get going and to do that."
Crutchley, who won 80 England caps as a player, has been in charge since 2013.
Owner Gerlinde Pommer had repeatedly refused to sell the building in Braunau am Inn or allow renovations.
Mrs Pommer will now be given compensation. But it is still not clear what the government will do with the former guesthouse.
The authorities are keen to stop it becoming a draw for neo-Nazis.
The parliament's decision puts an end to a long-running row between the government and Mrs Pommer, who is now retired.
For many years, the government paid Mrs Pommer a generous rent in an attempt to prevent the three-storey building being used as a site for neo-Nazi tourism.
In the past it was used by a local charity as a day centre and workshop for people with special needs.
But the charity was forced to move out several years ago when Mrs Pommer blocked renovations.
The building's future has been widely debated, with opinion torn between razing it or changing its use.
Some people, including Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka, have said they want it to be knocked down.
A panel of historians, who have been asked to advise on the matter, say that would be tantamount to denying Austria's Nazi past.
A number of cultural organisations have stressed that the building is part of the historic city centre and therefore under heritage protection.
Hitler was born in a rented room on the top floor of the building, near the Austro-German border, on 20 April 1889.
During Nazi rule, the house was transformed into a shrine to Hitler as the town drew in a wave of tourists.
But as the Nazis began to lose control in 1944, it was shut up.
Locals say it still attracts neo-Nazi sympathisers to Braunau am Inn, despite the efforts of local authorities to prevent this.
A further 110 militants were captured during the fighting, the Galmudug government added in a statement.
There has been no independent confirmation of the claims.
The al-Qaeda-linked militants have drifted north after losing ground in southern and central Somalia.
Galmudug's President Abdikarim Hussein Galaud said the security forces were determined to "wipe out" the militants, and to prevent them from establishing bases in stable parts of the north.
The militants were defeated after four days of fighting along Galmudug's border with Puntland, the government statement said.
A few of them managed to flee into rural areas, it added.
The statement did not give casualty figures for pro-government forces.
The African Union (AU) has some 22,000 troops battling al-Shabab in southern Somalia, where it was formed nearly a decade ago to fight for Islamic rule.
Last month, the militants overran an AU base in the southern town of el-Ade.
Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said about 180 Kenyan troops, which were part of the AU force, were killed in the attack.
It leaves the Giants still fifth in the Elite League table, 11 points behind leaders, the Cardiff Devils.
Belfast's Mike Radja, Mike Forney, Brandon Benedict, Jonathan Boxill, Chris Higgins and Kris Beech were on target.
Scott Brannon scored both for the sixth-placed Stars.
The Giants play the Nottingham Panthers in Belfast next in a league clash on Friday night.
The Stars, level on points with Belfast going into the match, stunned their hosts on the very first shift on the ice at the SSE Arena when Brannon scored after just 32 seconds.
But Belfast hit back through leading goal scorer Radja with just under a quarter of an hour played.
Brannon grabbed his second of the night to restore the visitors' lead but the Giants equalised once more when, with the home side shorthanded, Mike Forney was put through one-on-one by player-coach Derrick Walser and coolly slotted the puck past netminder Trevor Koenig for 2-2.
Belfast then took the lead for the first time when Benedict pounced on hesitation from Dundee to finish, unassisted, with the Giants once again shorthanded.
The Giants went on to dominate the final period with Boxill tipping in an Adam Keefe shot before Higgins scored with a wonderful solo effort in which he completed a lap around the Dundee goal before nonchalantly pushing the puck past Koenig.
Beech completed the scoring with the sixth two minutes from the end.
Almost half of babies (49%) born in 2012/13 were to mothers over 30.
In the mid 1970s the proportion of older mothers was less than a fifth (19%).
The figures published by the Scottish government's Information Services Division (ISD) also reveal mothers in deprived areas are nine times more likely to give birth under the age of 20 than those in affluent parts.
The ISD report said the rise in the number of older mothers has medical consequences.
"This change has obstetric implications and is a contributory factor in the rise in caesarean sections.
"It is well documented that age is correlated with increased risk of emergency caesarean section."
ISD said elective caesarean section rates - where mothers opt for this method of giving birth for non-clinical reasons - have increased in line with the trend.
In the mid 1970s they accounted for just 4.7% of all births, but in 2012/13 that had risen to 12%
The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) said it was not surprised that mothers were becoming older.
Scottish director Gillian Smith said: "Women are waiting longer to have a child, once they have established themselves in their career.
"But because they are older when they do decide to start a family, it can take longer to become pregnant.
"And it takes longer for the body to recover - which makes having further children slightly more difficult as well."
In all, Scotland registered 58,027 births in 2012, a decrease of 3.4% compared to four years previously.
The ISD figures also highlight the way in which deprivation impacts on child birth.
In the Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS Board area, 438 of 668 (65%) babies born to mothers under the age of 20 came from the most deprived areas.
Only 17 (2.5%) were in the most affluent parts.
On Tuesday, a 25-year-old woman from the city, Danielle McDermott, admitted taking £11,000 from two pensioners between August 2013 and May 2014.
She started to care for Dinah Porter, 89, following a bad fall which left her bed ridden.
Mrs Porter's daughter set up a secret recording after becoming suspicious.
She put marked bank notes in her mother's purse and recorded the serial numbers of the notes.
She then placed her mobile phone camera in her mother's bedroom prior to a visit by McDermott.
"The camera was just sitting here so we saw her bending down over something that was there and she put everything out of her way to get at the purse," Dinah said.
"She wasn't that long with me when this all happened. I thought she was a great wee girl, young and lovely.
"When my money went missing we tried everything under the sun to try and catch her doing it," she said.
The matter was reported by the police to McDermott's then employer.
A trust officer then carried out a review of Danielle McDermott's other clients.
The review showed that one client, who had early stage dementia, had her bank account reduced from £11,195 in August 2013 to £474 in April 2014.
A prosecutor told Londonderry Crown Court on Tuesday that the money had been spent on a lavish lifestyle of holidays, hotels, restaurants and spa treatments for McDermott and her partner.
Dinah's son, Raymond Porter, said he was still in a state of disbelief over the treachery.
"Unbelievable. I still can't get over it, (we felt) betrayed and felt very aware of anyone who came into the house, sceptical and unsafe.
"For her to be stealing and then to be spending it on herself, make-up, going away on holidays, clothes, her lifestyle?
"It came from other people and vulnerable people. Old people were all her targets," Raymond said.
Dinah Porter said she was able to forgive McDermott, who is to be sentenced later this week, but her daughter could not.
"I feel they're not well, there's something wrong about stealing from anybody. I couldn't do it. I'm sorry for her in a way.
"She didn't just betray me, she betrayed a lot of others," she said.
Consultation had been carried out on the move to shut sites with an electorate of less than 100.
Scottish Borders Council was told the costs of running a rural polling place were far higher than in urban areas.
However, councillors backed a motion by leader David Parker to retain the sites after the high referendum turnout.
When the consultation on the move to close polling places was agreed in March there were 10 areas affected.
Two locations - Manor and Abbey St Bathans - were subsequently removed as the electorate had risen into three figures.
It left Cappercleuch, Crailing, Cranshaws, Edgerston, Hermitage, Hownam, Makerstoun and Tweedsmuir still on the list for potential closure.
The cost per elector was said to be much higher at the smaller sites - about £24.20 at Cappercleuch compared with £1 per head at an urban polling place.
The move provoked concerns from local community councils which said closures would "deny residents the opportunity to fully engage with the democratic process" with postal votes seen as a "poor alternative".
Many of them urged the council to look at cutting the number of polling stations in bigger communities if they wanted to make savings.
Now councillors have agreed to retain the sites which were under threat of closure.
A statement said King Bhumibol Adulyadej had accepted Princess Srirasmi's written request.
Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn had asked the government to strip his wife's family of their royally bestowed name.
Seven of her relatives had been arrested in a purge of officials allegedly involved in corruption.
The palace statement, which appeared in the Royal Gazette, read: "Princess Srirasmi, wife of Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn... has written to respectfully resign from her status in the royal family and permission has been granted by His Majesty the King."
Srirasmi is the crown prince's third wife, and the pair married in 2001. They have a son.
He was already known to be estranged from the princess, although they continued to attend official functions together.
There has been no official announcement of a divorce, but their separation is being seen as inevitable.
The princess's uncle, a police general, was arrested over accusations of amassing vast wealth through smuggling and gambling rackets.
Four of her siblings and two other relatives have also been held.
Srirasmi would have been expected to become queen when the crown prince succeeded his father.
This is not the first time a wife of the crown prince has been brought down in this very public way; his second wife was also discredited, then forced into exile 18 years ago.
The world's longest-reigning monarch, King Bhumibol, a widely revered and unifying figure, has been on the throne in Thailand since 1946.
The pivotal position of the monarchy in Thailand's political order makes the succession an extremely sensitive issue.
Many aspects still cannot be reported from inside the country.
The strict lese majeste law criminalises any critical comment about the monarchy.

Carrickfergus man Seaton, 26, and McGovern, 28, from Bangor, were 14th at London 2012 and were fourth at the halfway stage in Rio.
"We have now decided to go our separate ways towards new adventures and life challenges," said the duo.
"It has been a complete honour to sail together."
The Northern Irish sailors began competing together in 2009 and they described their partnership as "an amazing journey".
"We spent our time travelling over the world, training with the best teams and not only having fun but working hard all the way.
"Our team-mates and other competitors became our rivals and some of our best mates for life.
"What a great pleasure it has been to sail with each other but we could not have achieved our dreams if it wasn't for all the family, friends, coaches, sponsors and supporters.
"It has been the most amazing life experience."
The duo's successes included victory at this year's Princess Sofia Regatta in the Bay of Palma.
She is described as being in a "serious but stable" condition, is heavily sedated and will remain in hospital in Australia for at least a week, but is expected to make a full recovery.
Payne made history in 2015 by becoming the first female rider to win the Melbourne Cup, on Prince Of Penzance.
The 30-year-old said she was in "acute pain" after falling from Dutch Courage.
She is not expected to ride for the remainder of her domestic 2015-16 season, which finishes on 31 July.
Payne told the BBC earlier this month she was relishing a trip to Europe, including Royal Ascot, but is also now a doubt for the Shergar Cup at the Berkshire track in August.
Victorian Jockeys' Association chief executive Des O'Keefe said: "Surgery has been successful and Michelle will be remaining in hospital for at least a week, perhaps more. She's in a serious but stable condition."
READ MORE: Melbourne Cup to movie star - the Michelle Payne story
O'Keefe added: "She's very very lucky. Any fall from a horse, particularly at 60km an hour is a tricky outcome
"It looked reasonably innocuous at the time and it's ended up significantly more serious than that, but hopefully the recovery will be full and complete.
"I'm sure she'll have mixed feelings - happy that it could have been a lot worse but also bitterly disappointed given the amount of work she's been doing and some overseas engagements that will now be on hold."
It brings to six the known species of Ichthyosaurus - ''sea dragons'' that ruled the oceans in Jurassic times.
Both fossils were unearthed in Somerset in the 1800s.
One specimen has been on display at Bristol University for decades, under the gaze of countless students.
The other was donated to a museum in Philadelphia, US, by Thomas Hawkins, a well-known Victorian fossil collector.
He amassed a huge collection of marine reptiles from Somerset in the first half of the 19th Century.
Such was the Victorian craze for skeletons of ichythyosaurs - the first was found by Mary Anning on the Dorset coast - that they ended up in museums and collections right across the world.
Palaeontologists Dean Lomax of Manchester University and Judy Massare of Brockport College, New York, examined hundreds of ichthyosaur fossils in Europe and North America, including some that had been kept hidden for decades.
''These are two new species - brand new species to science,'' Dean Lomax told BBC News.
''They show that during the early Jurassic - around 200 million years ago - the ichythyosaur, and specifically this particular type, was a lot more diverse than previously thought.''
Ichthyosaurs were fierce predators, growing up to 15m in length.
The dolphin-shaped creatures patrolled the seas at a time when the UK was a series of small islands.
They were among the first skeletons to be discovered by early British fossil-hunters, at a time when theories of evolution and concepts of geology were in their infancy.
The reptile fossils were categorised as new species on the basis of distinctive features of their skull and other bones.
One of the new species was identified from a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur that has been on display at the University of Bristol for more than 30 years.
The other - originally found in a quarry in Glastonbury - was donated to Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences in 1847.
The specimen had been in storage, and few people even knew of its existence.
''It's been hidden away behind the scenes for such a long time,'' said Dean Lomax.
''It was quite amazing when Judy Massare and myself examined the specimen and then found that it was a practically complete skeleton and in my personal opinion the best example ever of the ichthyosaur genus to be collected and studied.''
The Philadelphia specimen has been named Ichthyosaurus somersetensis, in honour of the county where so many specimens have been dug up or found in quarries.
The Bristol University fossil has been called Ichthyosaurus larkini, in honour of British palaeontologist Nigel Larkin, whose whose family has lived in the Bristol area for centuries.
A scholarly paper describing the research is published in the journal Papers in Palaeontology.

The airline posted a better-than-expected operating profit of €816m (£613m), compared with a €129m loss for 2014.
The results sent shares up more than 10% to €8.22 in late trading in Paris.
However, the company warned that lower ticket prices would erode the benefits of cheaper fuel this year.
"The global context in 2016 remains highly uncertain regarding fuel prices, the continuation of the overcapacity situation on several markets, and the geopolitical and economic context in which we operate," Air France-KLM said.
Cheaper oil reduced the annual fuel bill by 6.7% to €6.18bn, with a 20% fall in the fourth quarter, although existing hedging contracts limited some of the savings.
The November terror attacks in Paris cut revenue by an estimated €120m in the fourth quarter as tourists stayed away from the French capital.
Despite the attacks, revenue for the three months to 31 December rose 2.2% to €6.3bn.
The airline is cutting labour costs and restructuring its network to compete with fast-growing Gulf airlines and European low-cost carriers.
Air France-KLM lowered net debt by €1.1bn to €4.3bn and pledged to reduce the figure further this year.
Chief executive Alexandre de Juniac said the company continued to negotiate new agreements with staff to improve its competitiveness.
Last year, the airline was embroiled in often bitter talks with staff as it sought to impose its "Perform 2020" growth plan.
In October, six workers were arrested after staff ripped off executives' shirts in an angry protest over 2,900 planned redundancies.
That figure was later revised down to 1,600 voluntary departures by the end of 2017, union officials said.
Air France-KLM pays 30% of overall revenue in wages, compared with 24% for Lufthansa and about 12% for a budget airline such as Ryanair.
Steve Martin and Michael Caine appeared in the 1988 caper as conmen competing to swindle a wealthy young heiress.
Variety magazine said the new version would switch the genders with two women defrauding a naive tech prodigy.
The Australian actress tweeted: "The con is on!! I will be starring in a remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for MGM." Her co-star has not yet been announced.
The news follows a remake of Ghostbusters in which the poltergeist-hunting lead characters were played by women.
Variety said Wilson is also set to appear in a remake of Private Benjamin.
Goldie Hawn was nominated for an Oscar for the 1980 original, in which she played a young woman from a wealthy family who decides to join the US Army.
Wilson has shot to fame in recent years thanks to roles in films including Bridesmaids and the Pitch Perfect franchise.
She is currently starring in Guys and Dolls on the West End stage, earning rave reviews.
Harlequins prop Marler, playing for the first time since being banned for his "Gypsy boy" insult, has been reported for an alleged kick on Grenoble hooker Arnaud Heguy.
Saracens fly-half Farrell is alleged to have committed a dangerous tackle on Wasps scrum-half Dan Robson.
Wasps' Simon McIntyre faces a hearing for allegedly kicking Maro Itoje.
Marler, who has 42 England caps, returned to the Harlequins team on Friday after being suspended for two games for calling Wales forward Samson Lee "Gypsy boy" during the Six Nations.
Television pictures appeared to show the 25-year-old kicking Heguy in the head in the 26th minute of a 30-6 victory in the European Challenge Cup semi-finals.
Quins director of rugby Conor O'Shea, however, said the incident was "nowhere near a boot" and not worthy of a red card.
If Marler is found guilty, the low end of a ban is four weeks, rising to eight weeks for a mid-range ban and a maximum of a one-year suspension.
Farrell, meanwhile, could face a minimum two-week ban for his tackle in Saracens' 24-17 win over Wasps in the European Champions Cup semi-final on Saturday.
The 24-year-old, capped 40 times, was sent to the sin-bin following the incident.
With a mid-range offence receiving a six-week sanction, Farrell and Marler could be ruled out of England's summer matches.
Eddie Jones' side face Wales at the end of May before a three-match Test series in Australia in June.
Saracens lock Itoje, who made his England debut during the Six Nations, has been issued with a warning for playing Wasps prop McIntyre without the ball in the second half of Saracens' victory, while Grenoble's Fabrice Estebanez has been given a similar reprimand for striking Harlequins wing Marland Yarde.
The dates of the disciplinary hearings for Farrell, Marler and McIntyre are yet to be announced.
Gerrard will leave the Reds when his current deal expires next summer, despite being offered a new contract.
Carragher said the 34-year-old could have been made to feel more "wanted" or been tempted by a coaching role to go with his playing responsibilities.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers said he wanted Gerrard to stay and that the midfielder wanted to carry on playing.
Gerrard will now move to the United States and has been linked with a move to Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy.
He joined Liverpool aged nine and has gone on to win the Champions League, Uefa Cup, two FA Cups, three League Cups, one Community Shield and two Uefa Super Cups during his time at the club.
However, Rodgers has rested him on several occasions this season when he has started with his captain on the bench.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Steven is not someone who would be comfortable just sitting on the bench and, in that sense, he has made the right decision," said Carragher, writing in his column for the Daily Mail.
"Still, I cannot help feeling Liverpool's hierarchy should have done more to ensure he remained at Anfield."
The 36-year-old added: "Over the next 12 months Steven could have been given a role on the staff to combine with his playing duties.
"It would have been like work experience, with him shadowing Brendan Rodgers, looking at how the academy is run - all the different aspects of the club.
"At the end of the year, it might have been that Steven wasn't at the right level to be a coach or he could have decided that coaching wasn't for him.
"But I look at what is happening with Ryan Giggs at Manchester United now and I am dismayed that Liverpool are letting that experience leave."
Rodgers, who took over as Liverpool boss in June 2012, said Gerrard wanted to play for a couple more years.
"Naturally, at this level that was going to be tapered a little bit over the next couple of years," the Reds manager said.
"He wasn't ready to move into coaching or anything like that yet. He still sees himself very much as a player."
The comedian set up the Trew Era Cafe on the New Era estate, Hackney, last year.
The Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust (RAPT) called the donation a "wonderful opportunity" for them to strengthen their work.
Brand joked: "If I ever get sent down I hope this'll mean I get a cushy job in the library."
He set up the cafe, named after the comedian's YouTube show The Trews, as a social enterprise.
It was staffed by former drug addicts who were in abstinence-based recovery.
RAPT's London Recovery Hub is located next door to the Trew Era Cafe.
David Bernstein, RAPT chairman of trustees, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for RAPT to further strengthen our employment and enterprise activities for ex-offenders and recovering addicts. We're enormously grateful to Russell for his generosity in donating the Cafe."
The RMT said the train operator had turned down an offer to resume talks on Friday and offered to meet on Monday - hours before the strikes begins.
In a letter to the head of the ScotRail Alliance, RMT general secretary Mick Cash warned that rail bosses were "giving no priority" to the dispute.
ScotRail said it was making plans to meet the union as soon as possible.
In his letter to ScotRail's managing director Phil Verster, Mr Cash said union negotiators were on stand-by to discuss the dispute over the weekend.
The train operator's offer to attend Acas talks at 10:00 on Monday did not appear to be a "genuine offer to avert strike action at all", he added.
He said: "It is imperative that not only is your company seen to be making steps to resolve this dispute but that you are actually taking steps to listen to the concerns of your staff and the travelling public on such a safety critical matter that we are in dispute over."
However, in a statement ScotRail said: "Talks not strikes is the way forward. We're making arrangements to meet the RMT again as soon as possible."
The RMT announced the dates of a series of six planned strikes after saying a majority of its members had voted for strike action in a ballot with a 75% turnout.
The union said it had not received direct reassurances from the Abellio ScotRail franchise that driver-only services would not be extended.
The RMT said the planned strikes will be held between 00:01 and 23:59 on:
Kieron McKeefery, 21, said he "walked around like the king for a week" after finding £1,245,000 in his NatWest account.
The web designer, from Barnsley, discovered the cash when he checked his unused savings account at work.
NatWest said it was not their error but the funds had been sent to Mr McKeefery's account by another bank.
Mr McKeefery, from the Brampton area, alerted NatWest straight away after the find in January saying that having so much money made him feel "uneasy".
He has just released the details, and said: "My first thought was 'get it spent', but about five seconds later I thought I should actually tell the bank."
He said he was surprised by the laid-back reaction of NatWest, saying it took 10 days to take the money back.
"I constantly had to chase them up to get it sorted - I didn't really want to leave such a large amount in there."
NatWest admitted it should have done more to move the money from Mr McKeefery's account to a suspense account.
"We appreciate Mr McKeefery bringing this issue to us," a statement said. "It occurred not as a result of a NatWest error but we were able to help resolve it as a result of his pro-activity.
"The delay he experienced... was due, in part, to processes that need to be followed to return funds to the sending bank, though we also could have done more for him in moving the funds to a temporary suspense account."
NatWest left Mr McKeefery with £210 interest from the sum, which he says he has spent already.
"Having £210 isn't bad I guess for the hassle. I can't even remember what I spent it on." | Salford Red Devils supporters have begun a collection to fund gifts for those affected by crowd trouble after the win at Huddersfield on Monday.

The boxes contained hardware which enabled users to watch Virgin Media television services without subscribing.
Mark Brighty from Leicester was arrested following an investigation by the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact) and Leicestershire Police.
Fact said he had sold up to 300 of the devices, which he imported from China.
Officers found the boxes, which he was selling for £40 each, alongside £600 worth of cocaine at his property earlier this year.
Brighty pleaded guilty to two charges under the UK Fraud Act as well as possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.
"Intellectual property crime is not a victimless crime - it costs the creative industries and the UK economy hundreds of millions of pounds each year," said Kieron Sharp, director general of Fact.
"This case demonstrates that copyright theft is often considered by criminals to be a low risk activity with high returns and so is often used to fund other serious organised crime; in this case dealing Class A drugs."
Security expert Professor Alan Woodward from Surrey University said it was an "old school" approach to hacking.
"You tend to find that those trying to do this will sell you software that can run on some other piece of hardware. Supplying the hardware means the hacker is rather easier to track down," he told the BBC.
"However, set-top boxes are quite specialised so finding a piece of more generic hardware on which to run such software is not easy.
"You do see specialised hardware being sold for hacking but it tends to be to enable hackers to break into networks or conduct their hacking operations rather than being a one trick pony as in this case," he added.
"I'm quite surprised someone went to all this trouble as there are easier ways of illegally making money from hacking online."
He has pulled out of a scheduled talk after the club's co-chairman Alex Chalmers resigned over it voting to support Israel Apartheid Week.
Mr Chalmers said many members had "some kind of problem with Jews". Labour Students has launched an investigation.
Mr Miliband, a former OULC member, had been due to give a talk on 4 March.
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
This has now been postponed until after the investigation.
Mr Miliband's office said: "It is right that the executive of the club has roundly condemned the comments and fully co-operates with the Labour Students' investigation.
"Ed and the Labour Club have agreed that his talk should be postponed until the investigation is resolved."
Mr Chalmers, an Oriel College undergraduate, posted a statement on Facebook announcing his resignation.
He said certain members' attitudes at the club were becoming "poisonous" and "a large proportion of both OULC and the Student Left in Oxford more generally have some kind of problem with Jews".
He said the decision to endorse Israel Apartheid Week illustrated the "uneven and insincere" attitude of some members "when it comes to liberation".
According to its website, Israel Apartheid Week takes place across 150 universities and cities and "aims to raise awareness about Israel's ongoing settler-colonial project and apartheid policies over the Palestinian people".
OULC said it would fully co-operate with Labour Students - the national youth body of the political party - in its investigation into allegations of anti-Semitism.
A spokesman for the Labour Party said it supported the investigation.
Universities minister Jo Johnson wrote on Twitter: "Concerned by reports of vile antisemitism on campus - Oxford Uni needs to undertake urgent investigation."
Oxford University did not comment on whether an investigation was being launched. It said students were encouraged to officially report harassment to the university authorities.
Emergency services were called out to the scene of the incident near Lochans at about 11:40.
Police said that the road was likely to be closed for a significant amount of time as a result of the crash.
Drivers have been advised to avoid the area if possible or expect delays. Diversions are being put in place.
John Williamson, 73, of Manse Crescent, Stanley, was identified because heroin, found inside a leopard skin dress, had first been wrapped in his shorts.
Perth Sheriff Court heard that if they had been washed, they would not have been linked to Williamson.
The shorts were found at his home and the heroin was discovered in a box wrapped in the dress.
The haul of drugs was folded up inside Williamson's shorts and were said to have had a potential street value of £88,000.
Williamson, was found guilty of being concerned in the supply of diamorphine at his home on 23 December 2014.
Scottish Police Authority forensic scientist Barry Mitchell told the jury: "We would not have expected that DNA to have persisted through washing or laundering. If the item was washed we would not expect the DNA to persist. If kept in good condition it could persist almost indefinitely."
Fiscal depute Gavin Letford said the evidence against Williamson was circumstantial and there was no dispute that the drugs had been found at his home.
He also said the quantity of drugs found, almost a kilo, meant it was being stored for onward supply.
"The accused's DNA was found on the shorts," Mr Letford told the jury. "They were the shorts used to wrap up these 13 packages. That is not disputed.
"The only DNA on the shorts that found a match belonged to John Williamson. They were his shorts and they were used to wrap up these packages.
"It can be reasonably inferred that he used his house to store drugs and used his house as a safe house. He knew these drugs were stored in the storage cupboard."
Williamson was warned he faced a prison sentence, but was freed on bail pending the preparation of background reports.
Cavendish is aiming to become the first Briton to win more than one world road race crown.
Welshman Thomas helped the 31-year-old win his 2011 title and he hopes he can repeat the feat in Doha on Sunday.
"As a team we're strong. It's good having Mark in the team - if he wasn't here I doubt I would be," said Thomas.
"It's certainly been a long season - which started in January down under [in the Australian National Road Cycling Championship].
"I've felt better on the bike and with Cav [Cavendish] in the team it was always a target to come here as best as I could."
The 257.3km men's race takes place on Sunday, with Cavendish aiming for a second rainbow jersey.
No British man has won more than one world road race title - Cavendish's victory in 2011 and Tom Simpson's in 1965 are the only successes to date.
Slovakia's Peter Sagan will attempt to defend the men's title, while Cavendish faces competition from fellow sprinters Andre Greipel, Marcel Kittel and John Degenkolb, who will all compete for Germany.
Adam Blythe, Steve Cummings, Dan McLay, Luke Rowe, Ian Stannard, Ben Swift, and Scott Thwaites complete the GB men's team.
In the women's race on Saturday, Britain's Lizzie Deignan says the race is "anybody's" as she bids to defend the title she won last year.
It was announced on Wednesday that Britain would host the World Championship for the first time in 37 years after Yorkshire was awarded the 2019 event.
Thomas rode for Team Sky when the county hosted the opening stage of the Tour de France in 2014, and he would enjoy the chance to return there in three years.
"That would be awesome - I would have to change my programme," he added.
"The atmosphere will be incredible. The Tour [de France] was just immense there - it was like being in a nightclub for five hours your ears were ringing afterwards."
President Rousseff believes the footage is not suitable for youngsters.
The education packs contain gay and lesbian video scenes and are supposed to combat homophobia.
However, evangelical church groups and their allies in Congress threatened to block any upcoming legislation unless President Rousseff halted the films.
A government spokesman said President Rousseff had viewed the material personally and decided to suspend its distribution.
"She didn't like what she saw," Gilberto Carvalho said.
He said President Rousseff was unhappy with the footage and believed it did not offer an objective picture of homosexuality.
The "anti-homophobia kits", as they are known in Brazil, were about to be rolled out by Brazil's ministry of health and the ministry of education.
Several members of Brazil's chamber of deputies with strong evangelic Christian beliefs said the sex education packs encouraged homosexual behaviour.
Gay and lesbian rights campaigners have expressed serious concerns.
A leading rights campaigner and congressman, Jean Wyllys, said the decision called into question President Rousseff's commitment to human rights.
"I voted for her in the last elections," he said, "because I thought she would defend the rights of lesbian, gay and bisexual citizens."
"If she doesn't do a U-turn and change her mind, I will urge all gay people not to vote for her again."
The 10 friends from Bristol turned to Facebook and found a Joe McGrath in Stockport who agreed to go on the paid-for trip for a 30th birthday.
The 21-year-old said they were "an absolutely lovely group of people".
"They messaged 15 other Joe McGraths on Facebook and only one was stupid enough to reply, and that was me," he said.
Namesake bromance delights the internet
He admitted he thought it was a bit of a joke at first, but after chatting to one of the friends on the phone Joe realised "he was just up for inviting a random guy".
Joe added: "After a couple of days debate and re-assuring myself it was a legit offer for a free trip, I decided to take the plunge and drove down to Bristol on Saturday.
"I must be a bit mad. I was fully up for it."
The friends had only given their names to Ryanair and the hotel, and as the passport details only had to be filled in at check-in, the "new" Joe McGrath simply had to add his details in order to go on the three-day holiday.
He even stayed in his namesake's house the night before the trip.
"I didn't use his toothbrush or anything like that. He wasn't there unfortunately," he said.
Joe is already planning to visit Bristol again and bring the friends to Manchester to take them on a night out to thank them for the trip.
And will he ever meet the original Joe McGrath?
"I do think our paths will cross sooner or later. And it will be a magical moment."
The 25-year-old is Commonwealth champion and a former European double gold medallist.
Carlin will be making her Olympic debut in the 400m freestyle after missing out on Team GB selection four years ago.
"I need to have that belief in myself when I get on those blocks that I can fight against the best in the world and I can come out with a good performance," she said.
"Obviously we do a lot of hours of training and that gives me a lot of confidence.
"I've been training really well and putting in some really good times in training and I think that's really important for my confidence.
"It's the biggest event of my life and I'm going to make sure that I'm at my best. And if my best performance gets me on the podium then that will be an incredible feeling."
Carlin secured her place at Rio 2016 at the British trials in Glasgow in April but had to settle for silver in both the 400m and 800m freestyle at May's European Championships in London.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Swindon-born Carlin did not qualify for London 2012 after suffering with glandular fever in the build-up to the Olympic trials.
She admits she came close to quitting the sport but has since claimed world, European and Commonwealth medals.
"It's been a stressful few years and to come out the other end and to say 'I'm going to Rio and I'm going to the Olympics' is an incredible feeling," Carlin told BBC Wales Sport.
"There were times where I nearly walked away from the sport and thinking 'why am I putting myself through this.'
"You put your body through hell day in day out but it's the mental thing of picking yourself up when you have the setbacks and feeling positive and enjoying the sport again.
"I had to find my love for the sport and my passion for it and I can finally say I've got all that back.
"I love what I do and I just love racing at the international stage and obviously the Olympics is the pinnacle of most athletes' career."
A man, 52, and woman, 53, believed to be the parents of three girls aged 16, 17 and 19 were all held on 12 August.
They were arrested on suspicion of possessing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism and have been bailed until November.
The man was also arrested on suspicion of possessing false identity documents.
Police said the 16-year-old girl had previously been arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorism and had an additional bail date of September.
Research by Swansea University and the Wellcome Trust has discovered disabled people were playing equally as big a role in the coal mines of the industrial revolution in Wales.
A blind lift operator and a collier with a wooden leg are just two of the examples found by Daniel Blackie and Mike Mantin during a five-year study into disability and industrial society between 1780 and 1948.
From 20 June they will be exhibiting documents, photographs and artefacts at Swansea's Waterfront museum.
But Dr Blackie, whose research focused on the first half of the period up to 1880, said that did not necessarily mean it was a time of equal opportunities.
He said: "There's a perception that people with disabilities faced enormous social and economic exclusion during the 19th Century, but what we've found is that isn't strictly true.
"We have numerous examples of people who've experienced disabling injuries and illness playing a full part in the mines, and coming up with ingenious ways of helping themselves to adjust.
"But what you quickly realise is that these aren't all people who are choosing to work. Some are, but many had little option but to return to work because of the financial pressure being off work put them and their families under."
Dr Blackie added that part of the reason the history of disability in the mines had not been told before was because it was "hiding in plain view".
During the 19th Century there were about 100 non-fatal accidents in Britain's mines for every fatal one, each resulting in an average loss of around 30 working days, and many leading to permanent disabilities.
"Far from being uncommon, the reason it's difficult to find written records of miners with disabilities is that it's so ubiquitous," he said.
"If you'd have pensioned off everyone who had a respiratory condition or who'd received a crush injury then there simply wouldn't have been enough workers. And because it's so common people seem to have been far less shocked, and were more used to providing support networks through friends and family."
Dr Mantin said the dawning of the 20th Century brought mixed fortunes for injured and sick men, which seem to have fluctuated with the state of the economy.
He said: "Legislation towards the end of the 19th Century made mine owners liable for accidents and entitled workers to compensation, and that seems to have made bosses less inclined to rehire men with disabilities because of the perceived risk they posed.
"But a bigger factor was the demand for coal. During the depression fewer men were required and those with disabilities were let go first, but either side of the two wars there's a sense that every man is a valuable economic commodity and is therefore worth rehabilitating."
The Miners' Welfare Commission of 1920 helped establish convalescence homes such as The Rest near Porthcawl, Bridgend county.
One in Talygarn even featured a model coalface to re-acclimatise injured men - something which Dr Mantin said was telling.
"By the end of our period there's no doubt that workers' welfare has improved immensely, but there's still a sense that what's important in rehabilitation are the needs of industry rather than the needs of the individual," he said.
"A Second World War information film called Live Again insinuates in its title that life for injured workers was not worth living without treatment and the value of work.
"Its final shot is a triumphant scene of a patient holding a safety lamp and going back into the mines as a 'useful and normal citizen', so in many ways the challenges of stigma and perception which faced disabled workers were the same then as they are now."
He was elected taoiseach (Irish prime minister) in 2011, four months after the state was forced into a humiliating international financial bailout.
Despite having helped to steady the ship, navigating a path from crippling debt to economic recovery, it was not enough to prevent a slow mutiny.
He leaves the helm with new storms on the horizon - the biggest being Brexit.
The UK's exit from the European Union and the collapse of devolved government in Northern Ireland are just two of the challenges he hands on to his successor.
It is not the legacy nor the timescale he would have chosen, but Mr Kenny has dealt with his fair share of inherited problems.
He grew up in County Mayo, as the son of a Fine Gael politician who was a member of Dáil Éireann (Irish parliament).
Having trained as a teacher, Mr Kenny was 24 when he followed his father into politics.
He won the Mayo West seat vacated when his father died in 1975, and has successfully defended it over the last 42 years.
Mr Kenny was a month short of his 60th birthday when he was first elected taoiseach (prime minister) on 9 March 2011.
Fine Gael swept to power with a landslide election victory, as Irish voters vented their anger at being forced to pay for the collapse of the Irish banking system.
The new taoiseach formed a coalition with the Labour Party and the new government introduced a series of unpopular austerity measures.
New taxes and swingeing cuts to public services, pay and benefits are never exactly vote winners, but the most controversial policy was water charges.
Charging households for tap water was a condition imposed on Mr Kenny's predecessors under the terms of the 2010 bailout.
But after years of austerity, simmering public anger reached boiling point over water bills, and thousands regularly took to the streets to protest.
In December 2013, the Republic of Ireland became the first bailed-out eurozone member to exit its financial rescue programme.
Mr Kenny insisted the years of "huge sacrifice" were paying off, saying his country owed its economic recovery to its workers.
The Republic was once again vying for the title of the fastest growing economy in the eurozone, but Mr Kenny acknowledged too few citizens had benefitted from the recovery.
Although dealing with the "economic emergency" defined much of his career as taoiseach, it was also marked by passionate debates over abortion, same-sex marriage and the legacy of institutional child abuse.
Just a few months into the job, he launched an unprecedented attack on the Vatican for failing to protect children from paedophile priests.
Reacting to the Cloyne Report into clerical abuse, Mr Kenny said: "The rape and torture of children were downplayed or 'managed' to uphold instead the primacy of the institution, its power, standing and reputation."
The charge was angrily rejected by the Vatican, and diplomatic ties remained frosty until the election of Pope Francis two years later.
In 2012, the death of a young pregnant woman, Savita Halappanavar, made headlines around the world and reignited debate about Irish abortion laws.
The 31-year-old dentist was refused an abortion while she was miscarrying her first child in a Galway hospital, and died days later from septicaemia.
A public outcry led Mr Kenny's government to quickly reform the law - the 2013 Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act legalised abortion in very limited circumstances.
Two years later, the Republic of Ireland became the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage through a popular vote.
Mr Kenny welcomed the result of the referendum, saying the Republic of Ireland was a "small country with a big message for equality" around the world.
But despite a seismic shift in attitudes to human rights and human relationships, skeletons of Catholic Ireland's past would continue to haunt his government.
In March 2017, it was confirmed that "significant quantities" of human remains had been found in a mass grave at a former mother and baby home in Tuam, County Galway.
The home for unmarried mothers was run by nuns between 1925 and 1961, and high infant mortality and disease were features of such institutions.
The taoiseach described the discovery as "truly appalling" and said the infants buried in unmarked graves had been treated like "some kind of sub-species".
Mr Kenny, who was born in 1951, is a practising Catholic who is married with three adult children.
He was 41 when he wed Fionnuala O'Kelly in 1992.
She had been a press officer for Fine Gael's biggest rival and old Civil War enemy - Fianna Fáil.
Last year, it seemed Mr Kenny could be the first man in a century to lead Fine Gael into a once unthinkable coalition with its former foe.
The 2016 general election produced a hung Dáil in which no party won enough seats to govern independently.
Fine Gael held the most seats, but it took four attempts over 70 days for parties to agree who would run the country.
Eventually, on 6 May 2016, Mr Kenny was re-elected to lead a minority Fine Gael government, propped up by independent parliamentarians.
He became the only Fine Gael taoiseach to be re-elected for a second term of government and the party hailed him as the most successful leader in its history.
But the honeymoon was short-lived and within months, Mr Kenny was facing opposition from within his own ranks.
His leadership was undermined by a series of scandals involving the Garda Síochána (Irish police force).
The controversy began when two whistleblowers made allegations of corruption over how officers were recording motoring offences.
The bitter dispute escalated, costing the jobs of former Justice Minister Alan Shatter and former Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan.
The current Garda Commissioner, Nóirín O'Sullivan, also faced calls to resign after fresh allegations that senior officers tried to smear one of the whistleblowers with false allegations of child abuse.
Ambitious Fine Gael ministers reportedly demanded the embattled taoiseach set out his timeframe for stepping down.
Mr Kenny resisted, saying his priorities were dealing with the fall-out from Brexit and the growing crisis in the Northern Ireland peace process.
Stormont's devolved government collapsed in January over a green energy scandal, adding fuel to the fire of the already complicated Brexit negotiations.
The taoiseach had campaigned against Brexit, warning it would create "serious difficulties" for Northern Ireland and border areas.
After the UK voted to leave the EU, he was criticised for raising the possibility of a future poll on a united Ireland.
Mr Kenny's leadership had begun with a high-point in Anglo-Irish relations - the first visit of Queen Elizabeth to the Republic of Ireland.
But he leaves office at a time full of diplomatic dilemmas over how his country will share a future EU border with its nearest neighbour.
The many, many questions over trade, travel, and territorial claims will now pass to his successor to try to resolve.
Investigators say finding the cause of the blaze will be difficult.
They are still waiting to gain access to the building due to the roof collapse, the fire service says.
Ten fire crews tackled Thursday's fire at the 200,000 sq ft (18,580 sq m) warehouse on the Blackpole East Industrial Estate in Worcester.
Read more news for Herefordshire and Worcestershire
Keith Chance, the Area Commander for Herefordshire and Worcestershire Fire and Rescue, said they have some good eyewitness accounts from the members of staff at the delivery company Arrow XL.
"The fire developed very quickly, a large proportion of the roof collapsed into the building so gaining access to identify exactly what happened will be difficult."
Ian Howell, the chief executive of ArrowXL said they are committed to keeping their business local to the area.
"We have been in the area for the best part of 25 years and we're committed to staying in the local area and have no plans to move away.
"We've just got to work through where we are, it's a bit too early to tell but clearly there's a big job in terms of rebuilding the site."
"The only thing that really matters is there's been no loss of life whatsoever, stock can be replaced, operations can be resumed."
The fire service says it will keep a presence at the warehouse for the next few days to make sure no hot spots in the building flare up.
It means this relatively nearby star, Gliese 667C, now has three so-called super-Earths orbiting in its "habitable zone".
This is the region where temperatures ought to allow for the possibility of liquid water, although no-one can say for sure what conditions are really like on these planets.
Gliese 667C is 22 light-years away.
Astronomers can see it on the sky in the constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion).
Previous studies of Gliese 667C had established there were very likely three planets around it, with its habitable zone occupied by one super-Earth - an object slightly bigger than our home world, but probably still with a rocky surface.
Now, a team of astronomers led by Guillem Anglada-Escude of the University of Göttingen, Germany, and Mikko Tuomi, of the University of Hertfordshire, UK, has re-examined the system and raised the star's complement of planets.
The researchers used a suite of telescopes including the 3.6m telescope at the Silla Observatory in Chile. This incorporates the high-precision Harps instrument. Harps employs an indirect method of detection that infers the existence of orbiting planets from the way their gravity makes a parent star appear to twitch in its motion across the sky.
The planets' presence needs to be disentangled from this complex signal but the Harps instrument is recognised as having tremendous success in identifying smaller worlds.
Gliese 667C is a low-luminosity "M-dwarf" star just over one-third the mass of our Sun.
This means its habitable zone can be much closer in before temperatures make liquid water impossible. The team is now confident that three rocky worlds occupy this region at Gilese 667C.
"Their estimated masses range from 2.7 to 3.8 that of the Earth's," Mikko Tuomi told BBC News.
"However, we can only estimate the physical sizes by assuming certain compositions that is, well, only educated guessing.
"Their orbital periods are 28, 39, and 62 days, which means that they all orbit the star closer to its surface than Mercury in our own system. Yet, the estimated surface temperatures enable the existence of liquid water on them because of the low luminosity and low mass of the star."
These planets are said to completely fill the habitable zone. There are no more stable orbits in which to fit another planet.
That said, the team has found tantalising evidence for what may be another rocky world on the inner-edge of the zone. This would be a seventh planet in the system.
The planets would need an atmosphere to sustain liquid water on their surfaces, but at a distance of more than 200 trillion km, there are no means currently to determine what the precise conditions are like or whether life would have any chance of establishing itself.
Nonetheless, Dr Tuomi believes M-dwarf stars are good candidates to go hunting for potentially habitable worlds.
They are small enough that close-in rocky planets will show up well in the Harps Doppler spectroscopy data, but they are also dim enough that those close-orbiting worlds will not be roasted.
"This discovery single-handedly demonstrates that low-mass stars can be hosts of several potentially habitable planets," explained Dr Tuomi.
"In practice, it means that we might have to double or treble our estimates for the occurrence rate of habitable-zone planets around M-dwarf stars.
"There might, in fact, be more habitable-zone planets in the Universe than there are stars, which makes it much easier for the future space missions to obtain images of these planets.
"So, although only a rather simple discovery, its implications might force us to re-think how common habitable-zone planets are in the Universe."
The research has been written up for the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Inverness-based Barbara Henderson's new novel, Punch, is set in Victorian Scotland.
It follows a boy who seeks refuge with a travelling puppet show after being wrongly accused of causing a fire based on real blaze in Inverness in 1889.
Punch is Henderson's second children's book with her first, Fir for Luck, set during the Highland Clearances.
Henderson wrote Fir for Luck after struggling to find a book for her children that was set during the clearances.
Starting in the late 18th Century and running into the 19th Century, the Highland Clearances saw townships occupied by generations of families cleared to make way for large-scale sheep farming and the rearing of deer. Often the evictions were violent.
Henderson's publisher, Isle of Lewis-based Cranachan, has announced her writing of Punch on the same day as a diary entry by 17th Century diarist Samuel Pepys mentioning a Punch puppet show 355 years ago. The book will be released in October.
The writer, who teaches drama at Culloden Academy, said: "I'm neck-deep in the editing process at the moment, but I can't wait to see Punch out there.
"I was a puppeteer for several years before returning to teaching, and my love of puppetry goes right back to the Pelham Muffin marionette I got for Christmas when I was nine.
"I think I liked puppets because it allowed me to perform without having to be on show personally.
"I used to put on little puppet shows for my children and often use puppets as part of my teaching of drama."
She added: "I had woven puppetry into a modern manuscript before, but I was told that puppetry would not sell."
However, puppets in a historical context did seem to pique interest in Henderson's idea for her second children's novel.
She said: "The historical context works perfectly to introduce young people to this quirky, traditional form of drama, while also transporting them right back to Victorian Scotland.
"So many classroom texts on the Victorians are set in England and focus on the workhouses. This is different."
Henderson said she hoped to offer young readers an "upbeat, brighter" tale about set in that period in history, which she said was often portrayed in fiction as "grim".
The fire in her story is based on a real blaze that broke out in Inverness' Victorian Market.
Henderson first came across mention of the incident in an article written by another Highlands writer, Jennifer Morag Henderson.
In the real fire of 1889, gas lighting in the market was blamed for causing the blaze which almost entirely destroyed the market.
No-one was injured, but a dog trained to guard his master's stall could not be persuaded to leave his post and died in the flames.
Later repaired, the market still stands today.
Punch writer Henderson said: "The market is a place I know well. I shop there and enjoy walking through it even when I don't need to buy anything for its shops."
John McLarnon has lived through two world wars, the creation of the Irish Free State and the administrations of 20 prime ministers.
He has lived in the same house in the townland of Largy, near Portglenone, since he was born in 1914.
"Our generation ran about in their bare feet, we went to school - everyone did, in their bare feet," he said.
For John, the invention which made his life easier was the bicycle.
"The bicycle was a great invention," he said.
"We all learned to ride the bicycle when we were very young, but one bicycle had to do two or three of the family."
John gave up driving when he turned 100. He said it was the sensible thing to do, as cars were "too fast now".
John credits his longevity to a life of moderation; he doesn't smoke or drink but does have a sweet tooth - despite the fact all his teeth are his own.
"I'm happy with everything I've done and being fit enough to do it," he said.
"I'm very thankful for my good health which is the greatest gift of all."
For a man who has seen many things and been around the block more than a few times, his advice on a long life is worth heeding.
"Take care of your health, because if you lose your health it never comes back," he said.
"Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today."
John is one of a number of older people talking part in a BBC NI appeal on behalf of Age NI.
Playing Our Part looks at the contribution made by older people.
Elgar made 98 before he was caught by Michael Klinger off the bowling of spinner Jack Taylor (2-68).
Surrey had been reduced to 43-2, but Elgar's third-wicket stand of 131 with Zafar Ansari (64) forged a recovery.
However, the late wickets of Elgar and Jason Roy gave Gloucestershire a boost as the hosts reached 279-5 at stumps.
Surrey opener Rory Burns, who returned to the side following the eye injury he sustained in a collision with team-mate Moises Henriques earlier this month, could only make 21 before he edged Liam Norwell behind.
While Gloucestershire's bowling unit claimed just five wickets in 97 overs, Surrey's relatively slow scoring rate, summed up by Ansari's 210-ball knock, meant they did not get away from the visitors.
Gloucestershire's cause was not helped by a hand injury to James Fuller, who required stitches after hitting a pitch cover and only bowled nine overs in total.
Elgar, whose innings contained 10 fours and two sixes, looked certain to reach his 24th first-class hundred but was out attempting a slog sweep which looped to Klinger at backward point.
The wicket of the dangerous Roy, who was bowled by Norwell for 14 soon afterwards, ensured day two will begin in the balance with Ben Foakes unbeaten on 57.
Surrey batsman Dean Elgar told BBC London 94.9:
"Stroke making was quite tough, even with the seamers the ball just seems to sit in the wicket.
"It's just one of those nitty-gritty kind of batting surfaces where you've got to have good game plans, knuckle down and get the job done.
"Batting once is very important. If we can get anywhere close to 400 and try and bowl them out twice, it's pretty much the game plan.
"The wicket will start turning more and bring our slow bowlers into play."
Gloucestershire coach Richard Dawson:
"Obviously losing James Fuller made it a tough job but I thought the way the lads stuck to it was brilliant.
"It was an outstanding effort, especially coming off the back of last night's Twenty20 and not having too much kip."
US soldier Elizabeth Marks, 25, became critically ill during the inaugural event in 2014 and was taken to Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire.
In this year's games, she won gold in the 100-metre freestyle.
Prince Harry presented the staff who treated her with the medal, giving them a "huge, huge thank you".
Staff Sgt Marks, a combat medic, had asked the prince to donate her award as a mark of gratitude for their work.
She was left with hip injuries while on tour in Iraq, and had to have four rounds of surgery in 18 months.
She collapsed with a serious lung condition before the 2014 games for injured service personnel and veterans.
After being transferred to Papworth, she spent nine days being support by an advanced medical system called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which allows oxygen to be added to the blood outside the body.
The technology takes over the action of the injured lungs, allowing them time to recover.
Those presented with the medal included consultant Dr Alain Vuylsteke, lead nurse Jo-anne Fowles, senior staff nurse Laura Bowden, Giordano Paiella and Professor John Wallwork.
The prince told them team about how Staff Sgt Marks had described Papworth as "undoubtedly the best place for someone having this condition".
"From all of us, it's just a huge, huge thank you to all of you," Prince Harry said.
A Papworth spokesman said they were hoping to launch an Elizabeth Marks Fund to help finance the development of equipment and support patients treated at the hospital's critical care unit where the medal will go on display.
Mark Smith, 35, was described by his family as a devoted father to his 18-month old son and a "loving, caring, kind, loyal and popular young man".
Six men and a woman died and 50 people were injured in the crash on Wednesday.
Trams are being run on the track to test the corner where the derailment happened prior to services resuming.
Transport for London (TfL) has not confirmed when the line will be fully operational again.
The driver of the tram, Alfred Dorris, 42, from Beckenham, south-east London, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. He has been released on bail until May.
The tram has been removed from the site and taken away to be checked by investigators.
London Minister and Croydon Central MP Gavin Barwell told Parliament: "We shouldn't speculate on the causes of the accident.
"We have three investigations under way and it's very important that we give the professionals the time to do their work thoroughly because the victims of this terrible tragedy deserve the whole truth and that won't be served by too much speculation at this stage."
Chris Philp, Tory MP for Croydon South, said the installation of automated braking systems for trams would be "very reassuring" for tram users.
However, Mr Barwell said the fact trams operate on both rail and road means "they have to rely at least for part of their route on drivers driving according to the conditions in front of them".
Dane Chinnery, 19, Philip Logan, 52, Phil Seary, 57, Dorota Rynkiewicz, 35, and Robert Huxley, 63, who all lived in New Addington and Donald Collett, 62, from Croydon also died in the crash.
Officials have said the Wimbledon-bound tram was travelling at a "significantly higher speed than is permitted" as it entered a tight bend before flipping on to its side and sliding.
Mr Smith, a glazier from Croydon, south London, was on his way to work when the tram derailed.
"Mark was my lover, my best friend, my everything. He was, and still is, an amazing dad to our little boy," said his partner Indre Novikovaite.
"We love you to the moon and back, you are the best thing that happened in our lives."
In a statement, Mr Smith's family said: "A star that shines twice as bright only shines for half its life, that was our Mark, a son we were very proud of."
They added: "He touched many lives through the passage of his too-short life. His loss has devastated us all."
On Sunday, Mr Huxley's family described him as "larger than life" and a "loving husband, devoted father and grandfather, brother, uncle and dear friend to many".
He was a lifelong Chelsea supporter and a season ticket holder.
Mr Collett's family said they were "struggling to deal with this tragic news".
"Don was a well loved, funny and generous man, who could light up a room with his smile. He is tragically leaving behind a loving family, partner, adored friends and work colleagues," they said in a statement.
The family of Mr Logan said he would be "immensely missed by all that knew him".
"He was a true family man and generous friend to all with a magnificently dry sense of humour," they said.
On Remembrance Sunday, the victims' names were read out in the town's annual commemoration service.
A crowdfunding website set up by Croydon Council in the wake of the derailment has so far raised more than £12,000 to help the families of the victims.
The four-storey centre in Fleming Way is expected to be completed by spring 2017.
It will house two GP practices, a dentist, pharmacy, and a variety of community health services to replace the outdated health centre in Carfax Street.
The NHS-funded centre will serve an estimated 22,000 registered and 36,000 unregistered patients once complete.
Bob Sanderson, director of urgent care at Carfax Street Health Centre, said he was "delighted" work had started on the new centre.
"It will improve the health and wellbeing of people in Swindon by providing a modern, safe and high-quality environment." he said.
"Local patients will be able to access two GP practices, community and dental services, specialist health services and a pharmacy - all under one town centre roof."
John Follows, from NHS Property Services, said the development was "hugely important to local people".
"This is an excellent facility to meet the changing needs of patients and the NHS for many years to come," he said.
The new health centre will sit alongside the already constructed new 850-space multi-storey car park and assisted living residential building, as part of a £350m redevelopment of the town centre.
Daniel Amokachi has been in charge of Nigeria on a temporary basis since December following lengthy contractual talks between Stephen Keshi and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
NFF president Amaju Pinnick announced two weeks ago that a two-year deal has been approved for Keshi to continue but a contract is yet to be signed.
We need to resolve this coaching situation quickly to prevent another troubled qualifying race for the Nations Cup
Okocha, who won the Nations Cup in 1994 and was part of the gold-medal winning team at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, believes delays in the contractual process are hampering plans for the qualification campaign for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
"We need to resolve this coaching situation quickly to prevent another troubled qualifying race for the Nations Cup," Okocha told BBC Sport.
"Nigerians want to hear about the team, the plans ahead and not who should or shouldn't be in charge of the team.
"Right now our focus should have shifted towards whoever takes charge of the team to enable us correct the ills of our previous qualifying series.
"We cannot afford to miss out on the next tournament, so we need to get the coach in to start work immediately."
Keshi initially took charge of the team in November 2011 but his contract ran out after last year's World Cup in Brazil, where Nigeria reached the second round stage.
During his first spell in charge, Keshi won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations but working on a match-by-match agreement he failed to qualify for the recent Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea.
As caretaker coach he endured a turbulent 2014, in which he was sacked by the NFF and only reinstalled after intervention from Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan.
Debate has raged in the country over whether the 53-year-old, who won the Nations Cup as a player with Nigeria in 1994, should be given a new contract.
But Okocha, who is the Delta State FA boss and chairman of the NFF's technical study group, has called for a quick end to the saga, insisting that any delays could further derail the country's football.
"We already know our group opponents for the qualifiers but the players don't know who is in charge, this is something we need to nip in the bud," he said.
"I think the sooner the coaching status is finalised would be a big step in the right direction for our country's football.
"The uncertainty and the lack of clarity about the coach is obviously really concerning and worrying for everyone, including players, the local media and fans."
In one of the toughest-looking 2017 Nations Cup qualifying groups, coachless Nigeria will take on seven-time champions Egypt in Group F alongside Tanzania and Chad.
Matthew Maer also told the Al-Sweady Public Inquiry he did not order the destruction of photos of dead Iraqis.
The inquiry is investigating claims detainees were mistreated and killed at a British base after a battle in 2004.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) denies the allegations.
Former brigadier Mr Maer, who was commanding officer of First Battalion the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (1PWRR) at the time of the so-called battle of Danny Boy, left the Army in 2012.
Lawyers acting for several Iraqi clients claim some were taken alive following the battle and mistreated or unlawfully killed at the nearby Camp Abu Naj (CAN) base.
The MoD has said any deaths occurred on the battlefield.
It has remained unclear so far as to who ordered the unusual decision of taking bodies from the battlefield back to the CAN base.
The British army says it wanted to check whether one of the dead Iraqis was an insurgent thought to have been involved in the killing of six Royal Military Police officers in 2003.
Mr Maer told the inquiry he thought the order had come from brigade headquarters in Basra, but had focused on dealing with its potential consequences rather than questioning it.
"I was concerned because it was a sensitive issue in a number of ways, not least of which was religion which was the need to have the dead buried before sunset the following day. So there were cultural and religious sensitivities as well," he said.
Mr Maer said there "was no policy whatsoever" to not make witnesses available to the Royal Military Police (RMP), which was conducting the investigation into allegations of wrongdoing.
He also said he did not remember giving an order to a fellow officer, Captain James Rands, to make sure any inappropriate photograph of enemy dead, wounded or prisoners were destroyed.
In a statement to the inquiry, dated November 2013, Mr Maer said the allegations were a "slur" on British troops.
"Had the alleged mistreatment and murder taken place, I have no doubt that the truth would have come out by now," he said
"Otherwise, there would have to be a massive conspiracy amongst a very large number of people, holding for over nine years now, despite the RMP and the judicial reviews proceedings and this inquiry."
Set up in 2010, the inquiry is named after one of the Iraqi men, 19-year-old Hamid al-Sweady, who is alleged to have been unlawfully killed while being held after the so-called Battle of Danny Boy.
The inquiry continues.
But could the House of Lords be Nigel Farage's next stop?
Prime Minister Theresa May declined to rule out the idea when it was put to her during Prime Minister's Questions.
This has reignited a debate about whether UKIP's acting leader could soon be sitting on the famous red benches.
SNP MP George Kerevan raised the question during PMQs, asking Mrs May whether there had been any "official conversations" about giving Mr Farage a peerage.
As MPs laughed at the question, the prime minister replied: "All I can say to him, I'm afraid, is that such matters are normally never discussed in public."
The matter was raised with Mrs May's official spokeswoman after PMQs, who said: "We don't comment on individuals. There's a process to be followed.
"You will have heard the prime minister talk in October about her views on the honours system and making sure that it recognises people who really contribute to society and their communities."
Supporters of the move point to UKIP's record in elections - it comfortably won the 2014 European elections, got the third largest vote share in last year's general election, and achieved its long-held goal of an EU exit in June's referendum.
Despite its vote share, UKIP has been left with just one MP and three members of the House of Lords - and these all switched allegiance to the party - compared with the Lib Dems' 104.
Supporters say this is unfair and means the party is under-represented.
Mr Farage has been promoting his own role recently, offering his services to the government as an intermediary to Mr Trump.
However, in July he said his "political ambition has been achieved" with the Brexit vote.
It's not too surprising that support for Mr Farage's peerage comes from UKIP leadership contenders Paul Nuttall and Suzanne Evans - perhaps more so that former Green Party leader Natalie Bennett also backs his elevation to the Lords.
"No matter how deeply we disagree with UKIP's politics, they should also be far better represented in the House of Lords," she said last year.
Conservative backbencher Peter Bone told the BBC he would have put Mr Farage in the Lords after the general election.
Although life peers are appointed by the Queen, it is the prime minister who nominates them.
The leader of the opposition and other party leaders are also given a set allocation, but UKIP does not, which has long been a bone of contention with Mr Farage's party.
One-off announcements can also be made by the government to award peerages to people appointed as ministers who are not MPs.
Twenty scientists and engineers aged 16 to 34 were challenged to "visioneer" a new generation of underwater craft.
Their ideas drew heavily on marine life, feature surfaces that can shape-shift, and boast radical new propulsion technologies.
The concepts aim to inspire new ideas for underwater combat in the future.
However, the BBC's defence correspondent Jonathan Beale says the Navy is unlikely to turn many of these visions into reality.
Cdr Peter Pipkin, the Royal Navy's fleet robotics officer, said: "Today's Royal Navy is one of the most technologically advanced forces in the world, and that's because we have always sought to think differently and come up with ideas that challenge traditional thinking."
In the 18th Century the Royal Navy began sheathing ships in copper - dramatically improving speed - and the dreadnought revolutionised naval warfare in the run up to World War One.
The new concepts were dreamed up by scientists from BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, Lockheed Martin and the Ministry of Defence, who were asked to envisage submarine warfare in 50 years' time.
The challenge was to design craft that are cheap to run and deadly in battle.
Cdr Pipkin added: "If only 10% of these ideas become reality, it will put us at the cutting edge of future warfare and defence operations."
So how do the designs look?
Based on a hybrid between a whale shark and a manta ray, the mothership's hull would be 3D-printed and built from super-strong alloys and acrylics, with surfaces that can morph in shape.
With tunnel drive propulsion similar to a Dyson bladeless fan, it could travel at 150 knots, sucking water through the bow and expelling it from the stern.
A crew of 20 would live on board, and the vessel could dock at underwater stations based around the world.
By Jonathan Beale, BBC defence correspondent
The Royal Navy's thinking big about the future. It's already held the first large-scale maritime exercise involving hi-tech robots and underwater systems -"Unmanned Warrior".
But the harsh reality is there simply isn't the resources to turn these latest dreams into reality. And in truth, the Navy's thinking often looks to the past as much to the future.
Most of its budget is being spent on two new aircraft carriers, new frigates to protect them and four new submarines to carry the UK's Trident nuclear missiles.
This is what the Royal Navy will be operating for decades to come. These new ships and submarines will be far more advanced than what it's had before. But they're still more Cold War era than science fiction.
Launched from weapons bays on the mothership and themselves armed, these submarines would travel hundreds of miles in near-silence using sine wave propulsion.
Their main purpose would be to eject individual sensor pods that use lasers to communicate with each other, forming an underwater communication network.
These gizmos would be launched from the eel vessels in large groups, and could be directed to block uptakes and intakes on enemy craft, rendering them inoperative.
They could carry out reconnaissance, shadow foreign submarines or undertake escort duties.
Made from saltwater soluble polymers - like capsules for washing machines - they can be dissolved when secrecy demands.
A replacement for torpedoes, these provide an adaptable weapon system to attack ships, submarines or even targets on dry land.
Their payloads would include cluster missiles, electromagnetic pulses or shockwave emitters.
Operating in and above the surface of the water, they would be especially hard to detect with radar systems owing to the "noise" created by choppy waters.
If detected, they could immediately use plasma batteries to dive for the safety of the deeps.
Burns succeeds team-mate Paul Heatley in winning the award which is presented annually by the Castlereagh Glentoran Supporters' Club.
The choice of former Linfield player Burns was no surprise after his tremendous season the Crues.
Glenavon's Joel Cooper picked up the Ulster Young Footballer award.
Cooper has helped the Lurgan Blues reach the Irish Cup final where they will face Linfield on 7 May.
The Ulster Footballer of the Year award was first presented in 1950-51, when Cliftonville's Kevin McGarry was the recipient and Burns becomes the sixth Crusaders player to win the award.
Albert Campbell won the 1960-61 award with Pat McCoy (1985-86), Kevin McKeown (1994-95), current manager Stephen Baxter (1996-97) and Heatley (2014-15) the other winners from the Seaview outfit.
Burns, 26, has won two league medals since joining Crusaders in May 2014 after eight years with Linfield.
John Roberts, 32, was found dead at his home in Winlaton, Gateshead, on 16 December 2012. Nine people have been arrested and released without charge.
Mr Roberts, a football badge seller, had been facing an abduction charge.
Northumbria Police have spoken to more than 5,000 people and said they would not stop looking for those responsible.
As part of the two-year investigation, officers have also made about 3,000 hour-to-house inquiries.
Mr Roberts was found dead at his home in Park Terrace. He had suffered head injuries.
Det Supt Roger Ford said; "This is still very much an active enquiry and we are continuing to follow new leads and are re-examining evidence every day.
"We want to hear from anyone with any information, even after two years, and would urge them to come forward and speak to us.
In a statement, the Roberts family said: "We miss John, and at this time of the year it's particularly difficult for the family.
"All we want is to see justice be done.
"I'd ask that if anyone has any information, even after two years, to come forward and speak up."
Dionne Clark's body was found at 22:22 BST at an address in Cornish Close on Saturday.
A man, 28, and a woman, 19, remain in custody. A 33-year-old woman has been released under investigation.
A 54-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
The two held on suspicion of murder who remain in custody have also been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
The death is currently being treated as "unexplained" after an initial post-mortem test was inconclusive.

A spokesperson from Warwickshire Police said inquiries were under way to establish exactly what occurred and further tests were being carried out to establish a cause of death.
Cara Delevigne waved a Union Jack flag as she joined the singer on stage before a 65,000-strong crowd at London's Hyde Park.
Tennis champion Serena Williams and model Kendall Jenner also appeared in a catwalk-themed section of Swift's set.
The pop star said she would "remember this night for the rest of [her] life".
"I remember seven years ago when I played my first UK show," she said. "King's College [in London] had sold out and there were a few hundred people.
"I was surprised that a few hundred people would come to see me perform and now I'm looking at 65,000 people in Hyde Park.
"This is one of those nights where I'm aware I'm going to be taking mental snapshots so I can remember this night for the rest of my life," the singer continued.
The speech was one of several extended confessionals from a performer whose closeness to her fans became literal during a section where a giant rotating bridge suspended her above the heads of her adoring acolytes.
Swift's fans - nicknamed "Swifties" - were caught on the hop on Saturday when their idol began her gig 15 minutes earlier than scheduled.
Wearing a green sequinned jacket and purple skirt, she opened her set with Welcome to New York, a trademark anthem of emphatic self-assertion.
Supported by 12 male dancers, four female backing singers and a five-man band, the concert featured 17 more songs and seven additional costume changes in the two-hour set.
Sartorial highlights included a figure-hugging black leather catsuit, a summery pink frock lit by LED lights and a silver gown encrusted with crystals.
Props, meanwhile, included an ornate silver piano, a golf club - wielded menacingly as she sang Blank Space, a self-parodying paean to her media portrayal as a serial dater - and illuminated umbrellas used in a Singin' In The Rain-style "brolly ballet".
Swift's decision to distance herself from her country past was illustrated by a setlist dominated by songs from her latest release, the pop-leaning 1989.
Yet she found time to reinvent some of her older material, refashioning Love Story as a 1980s-style synth track and turning We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together into a noisy rock stomp with one booted foot in Glastonbury.
Filmed inserts showed Lena Dunham, Delevigne and others extolling the singer's virtues and Swift herself cradling her two cats, the quirkily named Dr Meredith Grey and Detective Olivia Benson.
The evening ended with Shake It Off, a defiantly upbeat tune which saw "Tay Tay" back on her bridge in a purple crop top and miniskirt.
It was a triumphant climax to an eventful week that began with Swift exhorting tech giant Apple to rethink the artist payment policy of its new music streaming service.
The 25-year-old plays two concerts in Dublin next week before returning to North America to continue her 1989 tour, named after her latest album as well as the year of her birth.
Ellie Goulding and John Newman also performed in Hyde Park on Saturday as part of the British Summer Time series of day-long mini-festivals.
The two-time winner was beaten 6-2 by amateur Adam Duffy on Tuesday.
The Chinese player swore throughout his 30-second post-match news conference and used a derogatory word to describe the set-up at the York Barbican.
His comments have been referred to the disciplinary arm of snooker's governing body, the WPBSA.
Warning - the section below contains language some readers may find offensive
The UK Championship is widely regarded as snooker's second biggest event behind the World Championship.
But in 2013 the format changed to a flat draw with 128 players starting in the same round, meaning the early stages involved more tables and more cramped conditions, with four in the main hall and four in the sports hall.
Asked where he thought his match went wrong, Ding said: "It was crap. Fucking four tables and everything is going wrong.
"I don't want to say any more about this. It's just crap. It's for amateurs."
Ding is expected to be fined for his outburst, but further sanctions are unlikely.
Ms Sturgeon has a series of engagements in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, which are designed to promote Scottish businesses.
The first minister will bring together Scottish companies and Chinese investors during the five-day trip.
She will also undertake cultural and educational visits.
Ms Sturgeon is due to speak about women's rights in a keynote address to 100 senior women in government, academia and business in Beijing.
She will also raise the issue of human rights with Chinese authorities.
The first minister said: "I will be in China to promote Scottish innovation in all forms - from our emerging technology companies to our trailblazing Scottish designers to our oil and gas expertise.
"But Scotland's innovation isn't just about technology, we are also promoting a very distinctive approach to creating a more competitive economy - one that is based on a fair society.
"One of the guiding principles of our engagement with China is respect for human rights and the rule of law."
She added: "I also believe that economic growth and equality are two sides of the same coin.
"That is why I will be speaking about women's rights and the benefits equality can bring to the economy - both here in Scotland and for China."
Chinese visitors are estimated to have contributed £112m to the Scottish economy in 2012 and 2014, with exports to China reaching record levels of almost £580m in 2013.
Alex Rowley was speaking as the party's UK leader, Jeremy Corbyn, sought to clarify his position on immigration.
Mr Corbyn is due to say in a speech that he is not "wedded to the idea" of free movement of people after Brexit.
But he has also stressed that he does not believe immigration to the UK is too high.
Mr Corbyn told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that he was not proposing new restrictions on the rights of people to move to the UK.
Instead, he said he wanted an end to foreign workers being exploited in the UK under EU employment rules, which, he said, would "probably" cut numbers.
In his speech, Mr Corbyn was expected to say: "Labour is not wedded to freedom of movement for EU citizens as a point of principle...but I don't want that to be misinterpreted, nor do we rule it out."
He will add: "Labour supports fair rules and the reasonable management of migration as part of the post-Brexit relationship with the EU, while putting jobs and living standards first in the negotiations."
It came as Mr Rowley insisted economic migration had been "good for Scotland" as he launched Scottish Labour's "vision for local government" ahead of the council elections in May.
Mr Rowley told BBC Scotland: "We think there should be an honest discussion about Brexit, and how we move forward from here.
"We believe that people are concerned when they look at the difficulty they have in trying to access public services - but the answer to that is not to blame the free movement of labour, the answer is to invest in public services.
"So we're clear that economic migration has been good for Scotland, we need to be able to maintain the free movement of labour in Scotland and we need to invest in public services."
Mr Corbyn has also said he would like to see a cap on the maximum amount people can earn, arguing that it was indefensible for chief executives of some of the UK's largest companies to be earning 100 times what their employees were taking home.
Mr Rowley said the proposal was "interesting" and that a discussion on the issue "should not be dismissed".
He said the gap between high earners and those at the bottom of the pay scale had "grown incredibly over a period of years".
And he added: "What we're saying here is we would use the powers of the Scottish Parliament and those who earn more, pay more, that's the policy of the Scottish Labour Party."
The former leader of Fife council will head up Scottish Labour's council election campaign, which will be a key contest for the party after it slipped behind the Tories to become the third-largest party at Holyrood in 2016.
On Sunday, Theresa May told Sky News it would not be possible to hold on to "bits" of EU membership after Brexit, leading to widespread reporting that she was moving towards leaving the European single market, with restricting immigration a priority.
Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, responded by claiming Mrs May has "no plan" for leaving the EU, and said the prime minister was prioritising "appeasing right-wing Brexiteers" over the UK's national interests.
Ms Sturgeon has suggested that a so-called soft Brexit - where the UK retains access to the single market - would see the prospect of Scottish independence "put aside" in the short term.
Officers said there were "significant concerns" for Robert McLaren's welfare.
The 70-year-old was reported missing from his home in Appin Terrace, but was last seen at shops in Rannoch Road at 08:08 on 20 February.
Police are carrying out house to house inquiries and studying CCTV as part of the search for the missing pensioner.
He wearing a black donkey jacket, a beige baseball cap with a white logo on the front, blue jeans or trousers and brown shoes when he was last seen.
Mr McLaren is 5ft 7in, of large build, with a pale complexion, and a balding head with short grey hair around the sides.
He has connections to the Coupar Angus area and is known to walk in the area of Jeanfield Road and the North Inch, Perth.
Officers said they would welcome assistance from local businesses or residents who may have private CCTV.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Local residents are asked to check sheds, garages and outbuildings for any signs that someone might have taken refuge, either overnight or temporarily.
"There are significant concerns for Robert's welfare and anyone who knows him or has seen a man matching his description is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101."
She told the court in Mallorca that she had never asked her husband, Inaki Urdangarin, how he ran a property company they jointly owned.
Mr Urdangarin is accused of using his royal connections to generate business income they used for private spending.
Both deny any wrongdoing. Fifteen other defendants are also on trial.
Princess Cristina, the 50-year-old sister of King Felipe, could face a maximum of eight years in jail if found guilty.
She denies knowledge of the alleged embezzlement scam that also involves her husband and 16 other defendants.
Asked by her lawyer during the 20-minute appearance why she never talked with her husband about what the company did, Princess Cristina said they "weren't issues that interested me".
"At that time my children were very small and we were very busy. He was in charge of the family expenses. I didn't get involved in that," she added.
The case was launched in 2010 and has become highly symbolic of perceived corruption among Spain's elites, including the royal family.
Last year, King Felipe stripped his sister and her husband Inaki Urdangarin of their titles, the Duke and Duchess of Palma de Mallorca.
Princess Cristina now lives in Switzerland, but remains the sixth in line to the Spanish throne and is the first member of the royal family to go on trial.
The princess's lawyers argued that as public prosecutors had refused to press charges against her, the counts should be dismissed.
But the three judges agreed to continue with the prosecution using the evidence filed by the the anti-corruption group Manos Limpias, meaning "Clean Hands".
The charges relate to the real estate company Aizoon that she owned with her husband, a former Olympic handball medallist.
She is accused of making personal use of Aizoon funds for paying for clothes and dance lessons for the couple's children, as well as work on the couple's Barcelona mansion, which reduced the firm's taxable profits.
Her husband is alleged to have used the non-profit Noos Institute sports foundation he ran as a vehicle to win falsely inflated contracts from regional government bodies, before channelling the money to personal accounts via tax havens.
Noos is alleged to have received more than €6m (£4.4m; $6.5m) of public money, most of it from the Balearic Islands and Valencia regional governments. | A man has been sentenced to 32 months in prison for selling illegal TV set-top boxes online.

Mel Higgins was appointed 18 months ago and was the fifth chief executive in the 12-year history of the company.
Ilex has faced criticism in the past for failing to fill its top job.
Its first chief executive, Rick Reinhard, lasted 11 months, while the longest serving chief executive, Aideen McGinley, was in post for just over three years, between 2009 and 2012.
Ilex had difficulties filling the vacancy, and by 2013 the issue was being raised in Stormont, and the Office of First and Deputy First Minister admitted a public recruitment competition had not found any suitable candidates.
In the end Mr Higgins filled the position, first on an interim basis, before being appointed chief executive 18 months ago.
He is now leaving to take up a position at the Northern Regional College.
Ilex lists among its successes the Peace Bridge, the City of Culture year and the Science Park at Fort George.
Its ongoing projects include the One Plan and the redevelopment of the Ebrington Army barracks site.
In a statement, Ilex chairman Philip Flynn paid tribute to Mr Higgins, saying he very much regretted his departure.
Mr Flynn said he is already engaging with OFMDFM to ensure a suitable successor is in place by the time of Mr Higgins' departure on 30 November.
Jonathan Rivers was head of Derby-based Wyvern Media group, which pressured firms into buying worthless adverts.
He was jailed for six years in October after admitting fraudulent trading following more than 500 complaints.
At the proceeds of crime hearing, he was given three months to pay or face a further sentence of up to 10 years.
When he was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court, Rivers, 55, formerly of Coleshill, Warwickshire, was described by the judge as the "head, heart and soul" of the company, which had about 18,000 customers a year and an estimated annual turnover of £7m.
Trading standards officers found small firms were targeted by Wyvern with high-pressure sales techniques and multiple calls.
Once paid for, the adverts would only appear in low circulation publications put out by the company itself.
Businesses were sometimes also billed for unsolicited extra adverts.
Along with Rivers, four other Wyvern employees were jailed for their part in the scam, with another five handed suspended sentences.
Gloucestershire County Council said it spent £7.8m a year for 100 11 to 18-year-olds to be looked after elsewhere, expected to rise to £9.2m by 2023.

He added: "If we can turn one child's life around, keep them out of the judicial system, keep them out of secure mental care when they're adults then we have done the right thing."
In 2011-12 Gloucestershire had 465 children in care. The number now stands at 627.
Deputy Jonathan Le Tocq said it was working with the UK government and one option was to "resettle a proportionate number of refugees" in Guernsey.
He said the States was currently assessing the demands on the island and opportunities for potential refugees.
On Tuesday, the States of Jersey said it would not take in any Syrian refugees due to potential legal risks.
Deputy Le Tocq said: "We are assessing whether there will be sufficient access to healthcare, welfare, security and employment opportunities on our island for refugees being resettled directly from camps near Syria."
"We will be seriously considering Jersey's position when formulating our own policy."
The States of Jersey said it had been advised proposals to resettle families could lead to further UK-based refugees coming to Jersey under EU human rights conventions and instead has committed to providing more overseas aid.
Monsignor Nicholas France, the leader of Jersey's Catholic Church, said he was "disappointed" with the decision.

Steven Robertson, 25, of Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Galloway, was lost at night after the St Amant left Holyhead, Anglesey, for west Wales in January 2012.
Alexander Baird, 55, from Kirkcudbright, had admitted a series of safety breaches on board.
He was jailed for nine months at Mold Crown Court on Thursday.
Baird had admitted a charge of failing to discharge a duty to ensure the fishing boat, a Kirkcudbrightshire-based scallops dredger, was operated in a safe manner between November 2007 and April 2012.
The court heard he was not being blamed for the loss of one of his crewmen.
The body of Mr Robertson, of Dalbeattie, who never knew that his partner was pregnant, has never been recovered.
Speaking after sentencing, Mr Robertson's father Craig Robertson said: "It is understandable that they cannot blame him [Baird] for what happened to my son.
"We don't know what happened. We never will. Everything that could be done has now been done."

Branislav Ivanovic gave the Blues a 1-0 win to put them two points behind leaders Arsenal and level with City, but Mourinho says both rivals have a better chance of finishing top.
Chelsea have kept four consecutive clean sheets away from home for the first time since December 2008.
Branislav Ivanovic has scored 21 Premier League or Champions League goals for Chelsea but this was his first with his left foot.
"The title race is between two horses and a little horse that needs milk and needs to learn how to jump," he said. "Maybe next season we can race."
Victory at Etihad Stadium meant Chelsea became the first team to do the double over Manchester City in the Premier League since Everton in 2010-11.
It was a deserved result for the visitors, who hit the woodwork three times in the match as they continually caught out Manuel Pellegrini's side on the counter-attack.
However, despite the impressive performance and result, Mourinho refuses to state publicly that his side are capable of beating Arsenal and City to the title this season.
"I don't agree we are title contenders," said the 51-year-old Portuguese. "We are a team in evolution but this is the kind of performance that helps a team grow up a little tactically and mentally. It was fantastic.
"We have beaten the best team, Manchester City, twice but they are the best team. I am not saying we are better than them but today we were the best team.
"We do better in these big games because we love it. We love the big games and when you love it maybe you feel an extra motivation."

He added it was not Chelsea's "objective" to win the league, adding: "Our objective is to build the team.
"I want to start the next pre-season and say this season we are going to win the league. This season, I can't."
Mourinho also revealed the final words of inspiration to his team before they took to the field at Etihad Stadium came from masseur Billy McCulloch rather than the manager himself.
"He [Billy McCulloch] was screaming so much in his Scottish [accent] I didn't understand really." said Mourinho. "The players were clapping so I thought 'OK, that's good'. I'm serious."
It was City's first defeat since they were beaten 1-0 by Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in November, but Pellegrini played down the significance of the result.
"For Chelsea, it was a decisive game, not for us," he said. "If we won, we were six points ahead of them. Now we are two points behind Arsenal."
Local taxi driver unions and politicians have complained that Uber poses unfair competition by not meeting legal standards required for established taxi firms.
According to Uber, 300,000 riders use its app in Denmark and it has around 2,000 drivers.
The service will shut down on 18 April.
In a statement the firm said: "For us to operate in Denmark again the proposed regulations need to change. We will continue to work with the government in the hope that they will update their proposed regulations and enable Danes to enjoy the benefits of modern technologies like Uber."
Uber has been operating in Denmark for less than three years.
The firm said it would "allocate resources" to help Uber drivers during the shutdown process. It will maintain its software division in Aarhus in northern Denmark where it employs 40 people.
The firm has faced opposition from traditional taxi drivers in cities around the world. In the UK, a 2015 High Court challenge arguing that Uber should be regulated in the same way as other London taxi businesses was dismissed by a judge.
But in 2016, Uber drivers won the right to be classed as workers rather than as self-employed.
Earlier this month, it suspended its self-driving cars after an accident in Arizona when one of the autonomous vehicles - a Volvo SUV - ended up on its side.
It has also faced negative stories about its workplace practices and a number of executives have quit, including the president Jeff Jones.
Assistant Chief Constable Rebekah Sutcliffe, 47, told temporary Supt Sarah Jackson she would "always just be known as the girl who had the tit job".
In December, a disciplinary panel ruled the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officer had breached standards of professional behaviour.
But Deputy Chief Constable Ian Pilling ruled she could keep her job.
Ms Sutcliffe told Ms Jackson - who has since transferred to Cumbria Police - her "credibility was zero", she was as a "laughing stock" and that she was "silly, vain and frivolous" for going under the knife.
She is alleged to have said: "It does not matter how hard you work now, because you will always just be known as the girl who had the tit job."
She then pulled down the front of her dress to expose her left breast and said: "Look at these, look at these, these are the breasts of someone who has had three children.
"They are ugly, but I don't feel the need to pump myself full of silicone to get self-esteem."
The panel heard Ms Sutcliffe made repeated attempts to apologise to Ms Jackson the following day and told her she "deeply regretted" it.
She later said she was "frazzled" and had been drinking too much to cope with stress in her personal and professional life.
The panel stated her gross misconduct had taken her to the "very" brink of dismissal, but accepted it was out of character and recommended a final written warning.
The officers were attending a Senior Women In Policing conference at Manchester's Hilton Hotel when Ms Sutcliffe verbally attacked her colleague.
Ms Sutcliffe, who was the most senior female GMP officer at the time, had admitted misconduct but denied gross misconduct.
Her counsel, John Beggs QC, had handed the panel more than 200 pages of testimonials, with many officers speaking of Ms Sutcliffe as "inspirational", "visionary" and "a strong leader".
Announcing his decision to follow the panel's recommendation, Mr Pilling said: "Despite being absolutely appalled at her behaviour and all too aware of the damage to public confidence, I do not think I can take a different view without any significant reason to do so."
Following the decision, Ms Sutcliffe expressed "deep regret" about what happened and said the "responsibility for what happened is mine and mine alone".
"I did not mean any of the things that I said and I am dismayed that I was so unkind and unfair," she added.
"I am very grateful that I have been given the opportunity to return to work.
"On my return, I will bring the very best of my abilities to serve policing and the public as well as I am able."
Ian Hopkins, chief constable of GMP, said it had been "an incredibly difficult time" for the police service, where "the events in May... cast a shadow over what was an important event to recognise the contribution of women in policing".
"The details in the report have clearly outlined the panel's position and legally left little alternative but to follow the panel's recommendation."
He added: "ACC Sutcliffe has been given a chance to demonstrate that she is committed to serving the people of Greater Manchester.
"We will now work with her to consider how she best achieves this in support of Greater Manchester Police. "
For the past two years it has been living in a cage by the side of a road.
The local government ordered the animal to be moved after experts concluded it was not fit to be released in the wild.
Snow leopards are native to mountain regions of central and South Asia, but fewer than 6,000 are thought to be left in the wild.
Earlier this year, the government turned down a request by a Swedish zoo to adopt the snow leopard, saying it wanted to keep it to raise awareness about wildlife in Pakistan.
The regional government of Gilgit-Baltistan, a semi-autonomous province in Pakistan's extreme north, approved a site plan for the wildlife facility in November, and construction will begin in January.
The facility is being funded by the United States embassy in Pakistan.
The snow leopard, a female, was rescued on 31 December 2012 from a partly frozen river stream in the Wadkhun area of Sost, the last town on the Pakistan-China border in the Karakoram mountain range.
Pervez Iqbal, a game watcher from the Department of Parks and Wildlife who rescued the cub, told the BBC it weighed just over 4kg at the time.
It now weighs between 28kg and 30kg - the standard weight of an adolescent female.
"Initially we fed her milk with a feeder, and then switched to chicken, but it now consumes 3kg of yak meat in a day," Mr Iqbal said.
Local charity the Snow Leopard Foundation (SLF) is designing the new enclosure in partnership with international donors.
It is being built over 11,000 square feet in the mountainous Naltar region of Gilgit-Baltistan.
"We want to build a large enclosure which will be designed to keep human intervention at a minimum and allow the snow leopard to live in stress-free conditions," said Dr Ali Nawaz, head of the SLF.
Dr Nawaz said the animal had been in contact with humans for too long for it to be released into the wild.
"It was separated from her mother at an age when it learns to hunt and undergoes muscular build-up that helps it survive in the wild later," he said.
Another snow leopard cub, a male nicknamed Leo, was rescued by a farmer in the same region in 2006.
It was later donated by the Pakistani government to the Bronx Zoo in New York.
He also fears the lapwing will be in terminal decline if the Department of Agriculture does not address financial cuts to the countryside management scheme.
The scheme provides grants to landowners for adopting farming practices that enhance the countryside.
It is delivered by the department.
James Robinson, who is director of the RSPB in Northern Ireland, said the scheme helped birds such as the lapwing and curlew which were "red-listed or threatened species".
However, he said a continued reduction in funding could have serious consequences for their future.
"In recent years, farmers have used the grants to help wildlife and they are popular grants," he said.
He said he had estimated that since 2010, about £40m has been cut from Northern Ireland's countryside management scheme.
"This means that farmers who want to join the scheme cannot do so," he added.
"Without the farmers doing the work, birds such as the curlew and the lapwing face an uncertain future.
"There is a possibility that the curlew, an iconic bird in Ireland, could be extinct in Northern Ireland in 10 years.
"The lapwing could also go into terminal decline if there is not sufficient grants for farmers."
Mr Robinson said he wanted "the minister and the department to listen to conservationists who want to see taxpayers' money supporting wildlife-friendly farming schemes now and in the future".
The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said it was proceeding with a smaller number of new agri-environment agreements than the 1,300 originally planned for 2013.
It said the focus would be on applicants that have farms with designated land that is of high environmental value as well as applications deferred from 2012.
A spokesman said: "There are some issues with the delivery of the scheme both from a farmer and a departmental perspective that we need to adjust before seeking to increase the number of applicants further."
Seven people have been infected with the disease so far in South Korea, said the country's health ministry.
Chinese officials said they had traced the son of a patient who had refused voluntary quarantine.
Cases of the virus, for which there is no known cure, have been confirmed in more than 20 countries.
Two new cases of Mers (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) in South Korea were confirmed on Thursday.
The health ministry said that all of them had been linked to a man who returned from the Middle East - where Mers is more common.
Dozens of people are now in quarantine.
Meanwhile, Chinese officials said they had identified and isolated a South Korean man who had ignored quarantine restrictions to fly to China through Hong Kong.
Local media said that health workers had contacted 35 people who came into close contact with him.
His father was diagnosed with the virus earlier in May.
"We should have checked more actively and broadly on family-related issues. We are deeply sorry about that," said Yang Byung-kook, director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The mystery virus with no known cure
Mers was first identified in humans in 2012 and is a type of virus from the same family as Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome).
Sars killed almost 800 people in an outbreak that began in 2002.
There is no cure or vaccine for Mers.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a total of 1139 cases of Mers globally and at least 431 deaths.

More Birmingham and Black Country stories
The 43-0 home loss to Glasgow in Saturday's European Champions Cup game was Tigers' fifth successive defeat in all competitions.
"It's been nowhere near good enough," Youngs, 29, told BBC Radio Leicester.
"We're at the bottom of the pit at the moment and we've got to dig ourselves out."
Leicester last lost five in a row in late 2003, when their squad was depleted by World Cup call-ups.
As well as a pool-phase exit from the Champions Cup, Leicester are now five points off the Premiership play-offs and could yet finish outside the top six for the first time in the professional era.
Youngs added: "We're going to keep working on the things we need to work on as individuals and as a team.
"The preparation has been good but we're saying things and we're not quite executing them."
BBC Radio Leicester commentator, and ex-Tigers fly-half, Bleddyn Jones said the Glasgow defeat marked a new low point for the club, who sacked director of rugby Richard Cockerill on 2 January.
Head coach Aaron Mauger took over the role on an interim basis.
"Usually when a new coach takes over, a team picks up their game but it hasn't been the case with Leicester Tigers," Jones said.
"Over the last three or four weeks it's probably been the worst time for being a Tigers fan, seeing their demise this season.
"I can't see a light at the end of the tunnel."
Death, declination, or otherwise.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) sets out in its Rule 9 the terms for "filling vacancies in nominations".
It reads: "The Republican National Committee is hereby authorized and empowered to fill any and all vacancies which may occur by reason of death, declination, or otherwise of the Republican candidate for President of the United States."
Death may be off the agenda, so what about the other scenarios?
Mr Trump would voluntarily leave the race.
With "Rule 9" invoked, the RNC could then either reconvene the 2,472-delegate convention to vote again - a virtual impossibility at this stage - or the board of the RNC, with 160 members representing all states and territories, would select a replacement.
Each state and territory would have the same amount of voting power that it had at the convention. Mike Pence, the vice-presidential nominee, would not get an automatic promotion because the board could choose anyone to fill the vacancy.
Many Republican representatives and senators would welcome a new candidate as he or she could help them hold on to their seats.
Unfortunately for Trump opponents, the candidate has shown no intention of exiting the scene. His comments after the latest obscene remarks controversy - "See you at the debate on Sunday."
The anti-Trumpers might take some comfort in the vagueness of the phrase.
Rule 9 has never actually been used before and so its boundaries have never been tested. The last time a candidate left the ticket late was in 1972. Democratic vice-presidential candidate Thomas Eagleton was forced off after his bouts of depression were made public.
"Otherwise" is generally taken to cover the gap between death and declination, perhaps a coma or stroke or other illness that leaves the candidate alive but unable to signal withdrawal.
As such, it is about filling vacancies and not creating them.
But some have suggested a broader interpretation, taking "otherwise" into areas such as acts of criminality, treason or even adopting principles "fundamentally at variance with party principles", as commentator Thomas Balch puts it.
But Mr Trump could sue if the "otherwise" path were taken against him.
By the way, even if he did commit a criminal act, it would not bar him from running for the presidency. He could possibly pardon himself after winning.
Time has run out, it would seem, even if there were the inclination.
Rule 9 can be amended by a majority vote of the RNC's Standing Committee on Rules, followed by a three-quarter majority in the RNC. But it would only take effect 30 days later.
Tens of thousands of Republicans have already cast their absentee votes, many of them in the key states of Florida and North Carolina. What happens to them?
Many state set deadlines locking the names on ballot papers so that electoral procedures can run smoothly. Those ballots now have Mr Trump's name on them, and the deadlines have passed. Anyone voting for a Republican candidate would probably have to select Mr Trump.
This happened in Florida in 2006, when representative Mark Foley resigned five weeks before polling day. The Republican Party failed to get replacement Joe Negron on the ballot. Its "punch Foley for Joe" campaign failed to retain what had been a safe Republican seat.
Without Mr Trump leaving the race, a Republican replacement isn't possible under the rules.
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson is a former Republican and served as the governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003. He did pull in 1.275 million votes in 2012 and is on the ballot in all 50 states.
Evan McMullin, a former CIA agent and Republican Congressional staff member, is also running as an independent, but he entered the race too late to compete in every state.
The downside for conservatives is a third-party vote could aid a victory for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
The Green Party's Jill Stein probably won't attract many Republicans.
"Better luck next time" isn't the most comforting election strategy, but some disaffected Republicans think their best option is to denounce him and wait. More and more are signing letters and writing columns denouncing Mr Trump.
Thirty former Republican lawmakers did that on 6 October, saying in a letter that Mr Trump lacked the "intelligence" and temperament to be president. They didn't propose any removal, just that voters reject him at the ballot box.
Mr Trump has been underestimated before and eventually came out on top. Republicans have made it this far enduring Mr Trump's wild campaign, so what's another month?
The executive branch is a huge undertaking involving thousands of positions and there aren't enough Trump loyalists to fill them all. Republicans - even ones uneasy with Mr Trump - will be able to shape policy and deliver on issues important to their constituents for the next four years.
On the other hand, Mr Trump may have done lasting damage to the Republican Party's brand with Latino, black, Muslim and women voters.
Earlier this week, paediatric pathologist Dr Caroline Gannon resigned over interventions by the attorney general on the issue.
The law is currently being considered by the Court of Appeal.
The Alliance Party leader said women should be able to make their own choice on the matter.
He told BBC's The View programme: "What I want to do is exactly what I wanted to do as minister and was blocked by the executive."
Mr Ford said he wanted something "which would allow abortion in the case of a fatal foetal abnormality where two doctors certified no prospect of a viable life".
The former SDLP MLA and barrister, Alban Maginness, told The View the issue should not be decided by politicians.
"In relation to fatal foetal abnormality, it is ill-defined and you cannot define it properly," he said.
"What you have to do in these circumstances is wait for the Court of Appeal's decision and see just exactly what the Court of Appeal is saying in relation to this whole issue."
A fatal foetal abnormality diagnosis means doctors believe an unborn child has a terminal condition and will die in the womb or shortly after birth.
Earlier this week, paediatric pathologist Dr Caroline Gannon resigned over interventions by Mr Larkin
She investigated the deaths of babies including those in the womb or stillbirths.
She said the final straw was having to advise a couple to use a picnic cooler bag to return their baby's remains to NI following an abortion in England.
Unlike other parts of the UK, the 1967 Abortion Act does not extend to Northern Ireland.
Currently, a termination is only permitted in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk or if there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health.
In February, MLAs voted against legalising abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormality.
Politicians have been lobbied to reform the law since 2013, when Northern Ireland woman Sarah Ewart spoke out about having to travel to Great Britain for an abortion after she was told she was carrying a baby that had no chance of survival.
The body of Norma Bell, 79, was found in the burned out property in Westbourne Road, Hartlepool, in April.
Gareth Dack is on trial at Teesside Crown Court accused of murder and an offence of arson being reckless as to endanger life.
The 33-year-old, of Windermere Road, Hartlepool, denies all charges.
The prosecution claims Mr Dack was a drug user who had borrowed £10 from the widow a week before her death.
His DNA was found on a spent match on a gas hob and on a ligature around her neck.
Jurors were told after he killed her, he used her phone to call a soft-porn channel to speak to "scantily-clad ladies".
It was also alleged he stole £700 from his elderly victim and sold her TV.
The court heard Mrs Bell and her husband fostered more than 50 babies and toddlers during a 35-year period and had three children of their own.
The trial continues.
The left-wing Greek leader, known for his informal attire, promised to wear the gift once his country's debt crisis had been resolved.
That tie is yet to appear around the neck of the youngest political leader in modern Greek history, who has forged an international reputation on challenging the EU policy of austerity.
And it is likely to remain in the drawer for a while longer.
Before this latest election, the Syriza leader said he had a moral duty to go to a vote after signing up to fresh austerity measures as part of a third bailout for Greece.
Alexis Tsipras was first elected prime minister, aged 40, in January 2015 - six years after becoming the leader of Syriza, a group of radical left-wing parties. He was instrumental in transforming the coalition from an also-ran to a ruling party.
At his swearing-in ceremony, Mr Tsipras broke with tradition by refusing to take a religious oath, saying it was against his atheist principles. After the election, he continued to zip around Athens on a motorbike, as he had done before.
His first gesture as prime minister was a visit to a monument honouring Greek communists executed by Nazi occupation forces in 1944.
For a man whose political life began as a communist, the visit was heavy with symbolism, also because Germany holds more Greek debt than any other eurozone state and Greece is still seeking reparations for the Nazi occupation.
Month after month, he defied international creditors and tested the patience of his European partners.
Then, late on 26 June, as Greek negotiators were locked in talks with their European partners, he summoned them out of the room by text message.
Mr Tsipras told them he was calling a referendum on a deal that was not even on the table. In a late-night TV address, he spoke of the bailout as "unbearable" and a "humiliation".
It came out of the blue and was viewed either as a reckless gamble or a masterstroke, casting into doubt Greece's future in the euro.
Cash support for Greek banks was frozen, and the government imposed capital controls, shutting the banks and limiting cash withdrawals.
Opponents questioned whether he had ever really wanted to stay in the eurozone, and EU leaders were infuriated by his decision.
But when Greeks surprised the pollsters and backed their prime minister's stance, he told them their mandate was not "rupture with Europe" but a mandate for a viable solution.
As Greece's economy teetered on the brink of leaving the euro, Mr Tsipras agreed a deal for a third bailout that many of his colleagues refused to back, and even he admitted he did not believe in it.
"I acknowledge the fiscal measures are harsh, that they won't benefit the Greek economy, but I'm forced to accept them," he told MPs.
He called a fresh vote amid a rebellion by some Syriza MPs, who then split to form a new party.
Alexis Tsipras's political origins are far removed from the large parties and dynasties that have traditionally governed Greece.
He was born in Athens, three days after the fall of the Greek military junta in 1974, at a time of deep political division.
However, the Tsipras family was not regarded as especially political. Sport may have been a stronger draw for the young Alexis, who grew up near Panathinaikos football club's stadium, and remains a fan of the team.
Alexis Tsipras was not schooled at the usual private schools that most politicians in Greece with a pedigree prefer, but graduated from a state school in Ampelokipoi, a middle-class area in central Athens.
It was where his political activism began, leading a student protest against the right-wing government's education policy.
Matthew Tsimitakis, an activist who was then a pupil at another Athens school, described meeting the young leader, in a 2012 profile broadcast on BBC Radio.
"He struck me as very intelligent, calm, passionate but also very aware - he could represent the balance of a few hundred thousand kids who weren't very sure of what they were demonstrating about."
It was at school that he met Peristera "Betty" Baziana, who was to become his wife. They were both active in the Communist Party of Greece's youth wing and shared the same world view.
They went to university in different cities and later chose a civil wedding instead of a traditional religious ceremony.
The couple now live in the middle-class Athens neighbourhood of Kypseli, and have two young sons - Pavlos and Orpheas Ernesto (after Ernesto "Che" Guevara).
Although Ms Baziana has rarely appeared in public, she reputedly threatened to leave him if he gave too much ground to Greece's international creditors.
Like his father, Mr Tsipras's career began in civil engineering but in 2006, he represented Syriza in the Athens mayoral election.
"He toured around neighbourhoods in Athens, and tried to have close contact with potential voters," Elpida Ziouva, a civil servant for the Athens assembly, told the BBC.
What was not clear from his early political career was how far he was prepared to go to rid his country of austerity, by closing the banks and bringing Greece to the verge of exit from the eurozone.
He was one of golf's dominant players in the 1950s and early 1960s, winning seven major titles over seven seasons.
Tiger Woods said: "Thanks Arnold for your friendship council and a lot of laughs." The US Golf Association called him "golf's greatest ambassador".
President Obama posted a photo of a lesson Palmer gave him in the Oval office at the White House.
Jack Nicklaus, whose sporting rivalry with Palmer spanned over half a century, said he would "miss him greatly".
"We just lost one of the incredible people in the game of golf and in all of sports," he wrote on Twitter.
"Arnold transcended the game of golf. He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon. He was a legend."
Nicklaus, 76, who won 18 majors to Palmer's seven, posted a series of snapshots on Instagram recalling their long friendship.
Northern Ireland golfer Rory McIlroy recalled meeting Palmer at his Bay Hill Club in Orlando, Florida - where a professional tournament named after him is held each March.
"Remembering the special times I spent with Mr Palmer at Bay Hill. A true pioneer for our sport. Forever remembered," McIlroy tweeted, hours after winning the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
"My heart aches with passing of the King. What he did for golf cannot be measured. Athlete, pioneer, philanthropist, family man, and much more...RIP Arnie," tweeted US golfer Zach Johnson.
Rickie Fowler, a member of the US Ryder Cup team, said Palmer's memory would not fade. "Legends never die ... you will live on forever Arnie ... thank you for being you and giving me the opportunity to do what I get to do every day!"
How The King changed the game
Palmer the commercial champion
Outside the golfing world, others too shared their farewells on social media.
President Obama paid tribute to "The King", highlighting Arnold Palmer's philanthropy.
Former US President George H W Bush, a keen golfer, said: "He brought golf to millions by his daring and caring. We miss him already."
Arnold Palmer was the first golf player to make $1m from playing the sport.
But he made much more than that from his many off-course endorsements, putting his name to a variety of products and services, from United Airlines to Cadillac cars.
Nowadays it is commonplace for sports stars to lend their names to commercial products.
But half a century ago such an association between sport and brands was ground-breaking.
Palmer, in association with marketer Mark McCormack, was the trailblazer.
It is a legacy for which today's high-earning stars, making astronomical sums from their own deals, should be eternally grateful.
Palmer was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, in 1929, the son of a groundskeeper at the local country club who later became a professional at the golf club there.
Apart from his seven majors, he also notched up 62 PGA Tour wins.
The much-loved veteran died at a hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was undergoing heart tests.
Under Islamic law, courts can punish homosexual acts by stoning to death.
But the judge said he took into account that the Muslim man, Mubarak Ibrahim, 20, carried out the acts seven years ago, and had stopped the practice.
In Nigeria, homosexual acts are illegal under both Islamic and secular law and restrictions have been tightened.
Earlier this month, President Goodluck Jonathan signed into law a bill which bans same-sex marriages, gay groups and shows of same-sex public affection.
The new legislation applies throughout Nigeria.
Most states in the predominantly Muslim north of Nigeria have adopted Islamic law, known as Sharia, since the end of military rule in 1999.
Along with Mr Ibrahim, 11 other Muslims and a Christian man were arrested last month accused by the authorities of being homosexuals.
He was also ordered to pay a fine of about $30 (£18).
Mr Ibrahim told the BBC he was relieved that Judge Nuhu Muhammad had been lenient on him and had not sentenced him to death.
The BBC's Ishaq Khalid was in court when Mr Ibrahim was lashed with a whip, made of animal skin smeared with oil.
Mr Ibrahim, who had pleaded guilty to the charge, was ordered to lie on a bench, and an official whipped his back in front of a packed courtroom, our correspondent says.
Mr Ibrahim screamed in pain while being lashed, but was able to walk afterwards, he adds.
The trial of two other men was adjourned to 23 January.
The fate of the nine other men arrested on the same charge is unclear but on Wednesday the Sharia Commission in Bauchi said the Christian would be tried by a "conventional court", not an Islamic court.
Nigeria is a deeply conservative country, with an influential Christian evangelical movement in the south and strong support for Islamic law among many Muslims in the north.
Hostility towards gay people has escalated since parliament debated the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act last year, Dorothy Aken'Ova, a rights activist with the Nigeria-based International Centre for Reproductive Health and Sexual Rights, told the BBC.
She said that she was aware of 38 people being arrested in Bauchi state last month, and was trying to confirm reports of more arrests in both the north and south of Nigeria since the new law was approved.
"What this act is saying is that they [gay people] do not deserve to exist," she told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme on Wednesday.
After landing at La Paz airport, the pontiff spoke of the need to protect the most vulnerable in society from the impact of capitalism.
He was greeted by President Evo Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous leader, who gave Francis a ritual pouch with coca - a sacred leaf in the Andes.
The Pope flew in from Ecuador. He will also visit Paraguay.
At the airport welcome ceremony, the pontiff praised Bolivia - a majority indigenous country - for encouraging the poor to be active citizens.
"Bolivia is making important steps towards including broad sectors in the country's economic, social and political life," he said.
President Morales is a fan of Pope Francis, who he says shares many of his views on how capitalism leads to social inequalities, BBC regional analyst Candace Piette says.
But she says Mr Morales' government has for many years had an uneasy relationship with the Catholic Church.
After taking office in 2006, Mr Morales ordered the Bible and cross to be removed from the presidential palace - both symbols of colonial Spanish oppression.
A new constitution in 2009 made Bolivia a secular state, and Andean religious rituals replaced Catholic rites at official state ceremonies.
President Morales has said he is a Catholic but - like many Bolivians - he believes there is plenty of room for both Christianity and traditional belief.
"I remain convinced that we Bolivians have a double religion, double faith," he said in January.
But Mr Morales' attitude to the church changed radically when Francis became pope. He visited him twice in Rome and invited him to come to Bolivia, our analyst says.
Before leaving for the lowland city of Santa Cruz, Pope Francis visited the site where the body of a Jesuit Bolivian priest was found.
The priest was tortured and murdered in 1980 during the military rule for defending the rights of Bolivia's mining community.
In a newspaper column drafted in February, and now published by the Sunday Times, he suggested staying in the EU would be a "boon for the world".
Mr Johnson says he was "wrestling with the issue" at the time and was merely trying to make the "alternative case".
Critics accused him of "duplicity".
Mr Johnson was a leading figure in the campaign to exit the EU and became foreign secretary after the Leave vote in the June referendum.
Amid growing pressure on the government to spell out its negotiating objectives for Brexit, Mr Johnson insisted last week that the UK could get a trade deal that was "of greater value" to the economy than access to the EU single market, which he described as an "increasingly useless" concept.
But in February's pro-Remain column, Mr Johnson backed membership of the free trade zone, describing it as "a market on our doorstep, ready for further exploitation by British firms".
He added: "The membership fee seems rather small for all that access. Why are we so determined to turn our back on it?"
In the article, which was produced at the same time as a pro-Brexit article published in the Telegraph, Mr Johnson also warned Brexit could lead to an economic shock, Scottish independence and Russian aggression.
He wrote: "There are some big questions that the 'out' side need to answer. Almost everyone expects there to be some sort of economic shock as a result of a Brexit.
"How big would it be? I am sure that the doomsters are exaggerating the fallout - but are they completely wrong? And how can we know?"
Mr Johnson had previously admitted to writing the pro-Remain piece but its contents had not been known until now - having been revealed in a new book by Sunday Times political editor Tim Shipman, All Out War.
Asked whether he had changed his views on the issue, Mr Johnson said before the referendum was called "everybody was trying to make up their minds".
"It's perfectly true that I was wrestling with it, like a lot of people in this country," he said.
"And I wrote a long piece which came down overwhelmingly in favour of leaving.
"I then thought, I'd better see if I can make the alternative case to myself, so I wrote a kind of semi-parodic article in the opposite sense, which has mysteriously found its way into the paper this morning, as I think I might have sent it to a friend.
"I set them side by side and it was blindingly obvious what the right thing to do was."
Shipman said Mr Johnson's column contradicted positions he had adopted since joining the cabinet following Theresa May's appointment as prime minister - but also "dispels the myth that Johnson's case for remain was better than his argument to leave".
Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesman Tom Brake said it would "confirm many people's suspicion that he put his own career ahead of the interests of the country".
"Boris was bang on about the threat of Brexit to the economy and the unity of the country - it is a shame he did not listen to his own warning."
Leave campaigners say pre-referendum forecasts of an immediate economic shock failed to materialise, although critics of Brexit point to the fall in the value of the pound against the dollar and the euro as evidence.
Former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, who supported a Remain vote, suggested Mr Johnson and other "opportunists and chancers" backing Brexit had lied to the British people during the referendum campaign about the economic impact of Brexit.
"If I was a Brexit voter, I would feel increasingly betrayed that I voted in the belief that all these Brexiteers knew what they were doing," he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.
"I would be increasingly angry that these people, months after the referendum, still won't come clean about what they mean by Brexit."
Mr Clegg, who is part of a cross-party campaign urging a parliamentary vote on the UK's negotiating strategy with the EU, said having a "sensible and coherent plan" in place before beginning official talks would "strengthen" Mrs May's hand.
But International Development Secretary Priti Patel warned against MPs "using Parliament as a vehicle to subvert the democratic will of the British people".
She told Marr that MPs were already debating the government's strategy on a daily basis - pointing to two statements made by ministers during the past week.
"The job of the government is to deliver the result of the referendum. The British people have spoken and we are going to deliver for them."
The prime minister has said she wants the best access to EU markets for British business after Brexit but has signalled she also wants limits on freedom of movement - which EU leaders say is incompatible with continued membership of the single market.
On Sunday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she believed a deal could be reached that would allow Scotland to retain access to the single market after Brexit.
Elected in 2005, age 39, he promised to "inspire a new generation".
He became prime minister of the coalition government in 2010 before gaining an overall majority at the general election in May this year.
He is only the fourth Conservative to reach the milestone in over 100 years behind Stanley Baldwin, Sir Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.
Mr Cameron's declaration that he will quit before the next general election scheduled for 2020 means he cannot overhaul Lady Thatcher's record, in modern times, of 15 years, nine months and 17 days.
He became Conservative Party leader after snatching victory from established favourite David Davis having dazzled activists with a no-notes speech at party conference.
Seen as the Tories' youthful answer to Tony Blair, it was thought he could shake off the Conservatives' "nasty" image and recreate them as an optimistic and modern party.
In 2008, seizing on the UK's mounting financial crisis, he issued a challenge to then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown to call a snap election saying: "Call that election. We will fight. Britain will win."
But it was another two years before he got the chance to challenge the Labour leader.
He failed to achieve an overall majority in the 2010 general election, but surprised many Westminster-watchers by forming Britain's first coalition since World War Two with the Liberal Democrats.
His first term was marked by spending cuts, riots in English cities, the phone-hacking scandal and recovery from recession.
In May, after one of the biggest general election shocks for decades, Mr Cameron led the Conservatives to victory and his party now holds a slim majority in the Commons.
In his current term as prime minister he has promised an in/out referendum on the UK's membership of the EU by the end of 2017 and has persuaded MPs to back his plan to extend air strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria.
The future prime minister was born on 9 October 1966 to Ian and Mary Cameron. He has a brother and two sisters.
Educated at Eton College and Brasenose College, Oxford, where he gained a First in Politics, Philosophy and Economics.
Began working for the Conservative Party in 1988, before roles in the Treasury and Home Office.
Married Samantha in 1996, they have three children, Nancy, Arthur and Florence. Their first child, Ivan - who had cerebral palsy and Ohtahara syndrome - died in 2009 aged six.
Elected MP for Witney in Oxfordshire in 2001.
David Jones admitted Wales did benefit from EU membership but may be even better off if the UK left the union.
The Clwyd West MP told BBC Radio Wales the Conservative Party was "probably overwhelmingly Eurosceptic".
He claimed more than 100 Tory MPs would be prepared to defy the wishes of the Prime Minister and back withdrawal.
David Cameron has promised an "in-out" referendum after he renegotiates the terms of the UK's membership of the EU.
Mr Jones called on the prime minister to focus on the rules surrounding benefits payments to migrants and measures to strengthen UK law.
"My assessment of the Conservative Party is that it's probably overwhelmingly Eurosceptic," he said.
"I think that if the Prime Minister does not achieve what we would like him to achieve, then we will certainly push for Britain to leave the EU."
Mr Jones, vice president of Conservatives for Britain, which wants to reform Britain's relationship with the EU, dismissed claims that Wales had more to lose from leaving the EU than other parts of the UK.
"This of course is frankly the great lie of those who want Britain to stay in the EU, come what may, put out that parts of the country such as Wales would be poorer," he said.
"My view is that the parts of the country such as Wales that do benefit from the EU as they do at the moment would actually be not only just as well off but could potentially be even better off as could the country as a whole."
The 25-year-old had to last seven games before the 30 November cut-off date to avoid a one-match ban.
"That was annoying me a little bit," the Cameroonian told BBC Sport.
"It was a difficult period because I'm an aggressive player, so it was quite difficult for me to hold myself in certain situations."
He continued: "I'm not looking to get yellow cards but I will definitely be a little bit more aggressive now."
The Pilgrims have gone four matches without a win and slipped to third in League Two, having been seven points clear at the top at one stage.
They have scored just one goal in that period, with strikers Jimmy Spencer and Arnold Garita both injured.
"I think the loss of Jimmy Spencer was a big loss for us upfront, so after that you have to adjust the team and make a new formation," added Songo'o.
"If we can lose three games, have another run of 15 games (unbeaten) and then lose another three, I will take that all day."

The water company says supplies should be back to normal by Wednesday morning.
The problem was reportedly caused by flash floods in the Andes, which muddied the river Maipo and forced the closure of water processing plants.
More than two million people have been affected, with some businesses ordered to close for the day.
The water processing plants have now been fixed, the Aguas Andinas company said.
Supplies should be restored in the city of nearly five million people by 06:00 local time (09:00 GMT).
"We had an emergency event owing to circumstances beyond our control that forced us to cut water to 15 neighbourhoods," said Cristian Esquivel, spokesman for Aguas Andinas.
Officials have been distributing emergency supplies from tankers, with people rushing out to buy bottled water, says the BBC's Gideon Long in Santiago.
The problem could hardly have come at a worse time, as this is the middle of the Chilean summer, when temperatures regularly top 30C (86F), our correspondent adds.
Most offices, businesses like bars and restaurants, and playgrounds were closed because of the water shortage, reports say.
Many people have complained that they were not given adequate warning.
Peat, 41, from Chapeltown, won three World Cup titles, one World Championship and, at one stage, held the men's record for the most downhill race wins.
A bronze plaque bearing his name was unveiled outside the town hall.
Other famous names immortalised in the walk of fame include Sean Bean, Michael Palin and Jessica Ennis.
Peat said: "It is a huge honour to be selected by the people of Sheffield to join some of my heroes on Sheffield's 'walk of fame'.
"It is always great to be acknowledged by the people from my home town, as I have always been proud to represent Sheffield and this country wherever I've competed around the world."
The South Carolina senator asked former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper about the matter on Monday as he testified before a Senate panel.
Mr Clapper declined to answer a question about concern over any Russian ties to Mr Trump's business interests.
Mr Graham said it would be "helpful" to see President Trump's tax returns.
Russia: The scandal Trump can't shake
"I want to know more about Trump's business dealings," Mr Graham told CNN on Tuesday.
But he added it was too soon to determine whether he would be willing to subpoena them from the White House.
CNN reported that Mr Graham intended to scrutinise possible links between Mr Trump's business and Russia.
Mr Graham later clarified that the Senate judiciary committee he leads was not actively looking into Mr Trump's business relations.
"There's no effort by the judiciary committee to go after business interests because I don't know of any that are illegal or irresponsible, but if you can show me there is some evidence of that I'd be interested in it," he said.
The White House on Tuesday said it did not oppose any inquiries by Mr Graham.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the president "has no business in Russia; he has no connections to Russia."
"So he welcomes that," he added.
During Monday's testimony, Mr Clapper was asked whether he had any concerns about Mr Trump's business interests and a possible connection to Russia.
"Not in the course of the preparation of the intelligence communities assessment," said Mr Clapper, who served under former President Barack Obama.
But when Mr Graham pressed the former spy chief on whether he had ever discovered any Trump business ties to Moscow, Mr Clapper alluded to an ongoing FBI investigation.
"Senator Graham I can't comment on that because that impacts an investigation," he said.
The president took to Twitter to cast doubt on any questions surrounding Mr Clapper's refusal to comment on Monday.
"Director Clapper reiterated what everybody, including the fake media already knows- there is 'no evidence' of collusion w/ Russia and Trump," he wrote.
He later added: "The Russia-Trump collusion story is a total hoax, when will this taxpayer funded charade end?"
Rowntree spent eight years as an assistant coach with England, but lost his job in December after the hosts' early exit from the Rugby World Cup.
The former England prop will move to the Stoop in the summer, working under new director of rugby John Kingston.
Rowntree, 45, told BBC 5 live he was "excited" by his new job.
"This opportunity has come sooner than anticipated given what happened at the World Cup, but it's here and I'm determined to grasp it," he said.
"It's the start of a new adventure."
After being appointed as Stuart Lancaster's successor, England head coach Eddie Jones dispensed with the services of Rowntree and fellow assistant coaches Andy Farrell and Mike Catt.
"It wasn't the easiest period of my life, but you've got to learn from these things," Rowntree said.
"It was hard work, to be honest. You've got to move on and look forward. So here I am, able to look forward, working at a great club.
"There are a lot of things [you learn], but as long as you use that going forward, then it's of some benefit in the future."
Steve Borthwick was recruited by Jones as forwards coach, but Rowntree says he has no complaints about the decision to start afresh.
On the England coaching staff between 2008 and 2015, he is now eager to take on the challenge of working at a Premiership club.
"I was ready for a club role," he said. "That involvement I've been craving.
"There's so much potential - look at the blend of the squad - so that makes it very appealing for me. I love coaching, and I'm ready to do it for a long time."
Quins forward Nick Easter will also join the coaching staff next season, overseeing the defence.
Easter says Rowntree's reputation remains intact despite the World Cup disappointment and insisted he did not have to "prove anything".
Easter added: "What happened at that World Cup was a collective and it came down to 10 minutes against Wales. It's fantastic for him personally that he's back doing what he does best."
Rowntree's appointment means all three of Lancaster's assistants are now back in work, with Farrell part of the Ireland coaching set-up and Mike Catt joining outgoing Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea on the Italy staff.
Lancaster himself recently expressed his desire to return to coaching - and Rowntree says it will not be long before he is back doing what he wants
"He's had various offers," he said. "He's just waiting to pick the right one."

A ceremony will take place in 2017 on a date yet to be decided.
Freedoms are proposed in Sunderland to individuals or groups who have made outstanding contributions to the wellbeing and community spirit of the city.
Leader of the Labour-run council Paul Watson, said: "For the first time we have the real secret of Nissan's success - it's the workforce."
Peter Wood, leader of the Conservative Opposition Group, seconded the motion.
He said: "It is right to recognise the contribution of the men and women who work at Nissan - on the production line, in the office and in the boardroom.
"To confer the freedom of the city upon them is the best way we as councillors can show how proud we are of them for the pride they take in their work."
Other freedoms of Sunderland include television reporter Kate Adie, FA Cup goalkeeper Jimmy Montgomery and the crew of HMS Ocean, the city's adopted Royal Navy warship.
A coroner ruled bullying and the "lingering" effect of an alleged rape were factors in the suicide of Cpl Anne-Marie Ellement, 30, in 2011.
Now, ex-Cpl Thomas Fulton and ex-Cpl Jeremy Jones have each been charged with two counts of rape.
In 2009 the Service Prosecuting Authority (SPA) ruled there was not enough evidence to prosecute them.
But the director of service prosecutions, Andrew Cayley, said he has now concluded that decision was wrong.
Cpl Ellement alleged she was raped by two soldiers during a posting in Germany in 2009.
She was found dead at Bulford Barracks in Wiltshire. | The chief executive of Londonderry's urban regeneration company, Ilex, has resigned.

Mr Angelil, who Dion married in 1994 and with whom she has three children, died at home in Las Vegas from cancer.
Dion took two career breaks to look after Mr Angelil after he was diagnosed with throat cancer, first in 2000.
Mr Angelil was born in Montreal in 1942. After managing groups in Canada, he was approached to manage Dion by her parents when she was aged 12.
Last year, Dion told USA Today she was preparing for her husband's death.
"When it hits me, it's going to hit me," she told the newspaper in August 2015. "But my biggest job is to tell my husband, we're fine. I'll take care of our kids. You'll watch us from another spot."
The Montreal Gazette says he mortgaged his house to finance her first album.
She has recorded 25 studio albums, and is the fifth-best-paid recording artist in the world, with a value of some $630m (£437m).
In 1999, her song My Heart Will Go On, from the soundtrack of the film Titanic, won two Grammy awards.
She has been a regular performer at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas since 2003.
She returned to performing last year after a year-long hiatus to look after Mr Angelil. He stepped down as her manager in 2014.
But his words may not reassure many.
As last week's bomb and gun attacks in the north-eastern Yobe and Borno states and the earlier explosions in the capital, Abuja, have shown, Boko Haram - once a small religious sect - is now a flexible dynamic organisation capable of changing tactics and targets.
The search for a long-term solution continues. President Goodluck Jonathan's declared policy of "carrot and stick" is supposed to reach out to the militants, while improving security.
But is it in fact muddying the water?
Many now believe that the heavy military presence in Borno and neighbouring states is the biggest single factor hindering any chance of a negotiated settlement and peace.
Abubakar Kari, a political scientist from the University of Abuja, says he believes Nigeria is still feeling the consequences of the government's attempt to destroy the group in 2009.
Boko Haram's headquarters in Borno state capital Maiduguri was destroyed and their founder and leader Muhammad Yusuf captured and then killed in custody.
Hundreds of members of the group died and ever since it has been attacking government targets in retaliation.
"The rise of Boko Haram is largely as a result of incompetence, lack of foresight and insensitivity from the Nigerian state," Mr Kari said.
For the Nigerian security apparatus, Boko Haram's urban guerrilla tactics have represented a new challenge which they have struggled to cope with.
"We are in a position now like the United States was in after 9/11," the defence minister told the BBC.
"You have a new situation and you have to design new strategies and tactics to deal with it."
Initially, Boko Haram's capabilities were limited to drive-by shootings and improvised explosives. But the last few months have changed that.
Suicide bomb blasts in Abuja on the police headquarters in June and the UN headquarters in August - and now the coordinated wave of attacks in Borno and Yobe, which killed more than 100 people, have given further credence to those who believe they are now sharing expertise with other militant groups.
Mr Mohammed would neither confirm or deny reports that Nigerian forces are receiving counter-terrorism training in the United States.
Despite appearances to the contrary he said the government was not, as many believe, pursuing a military solution and that it was looking for a negotiated way out of the crisis.
Respected human rights activist Shehu Sani was involved in the first attempt to talk with Boko Haram.
Maiduguri: Nigeria's city of fear
He organized a meeting in September between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Boko Haram members under a tree in Maiduguri.
For perhaps the first time the group clearly articulated their demands directly.
"Boko Haram said they wanted their leaders who have been kept in captivity to be released," he said, "And they want justice done for their members that were killed and they also want the military to withdraw from Maiduguri."
Mr Sani said that they had made it clear that they were not fighting for an Islamic state, ruled by Sharia law but because of what they see as the injustice that has been done to them.
For those hoping for a negotiated solution, that will come as a relief.
The mediation stalled when one of Boko Haram's interlocutors was killed shortly after the meeting, but Mr Sani remains optimistic that given the right attitude from the government they could restart.
Opposition parties and in particular those in the north, such as the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), say the government is underestimating the amount of support Boko Haram has among the population.
CPC national secretary Bubu Galadima said many people in the north felt marginalized and excluded from wealth and opportunity.
"The people are sympathetic to certain principles and ideas," he told the BBC.
"If people feel they are being denied anything or an injustice is being meted out to them then there is a likelihood that they will take the law into their own hands and help themselves."
Mr Galadima, who is from near Damaturu, where last week's attack took place, raised the case of the former militants from the oil-rich Niger Delta who were given generous financial packages from the government to keep them out of trouble.
"Why didn't the president crush the Niger Deltans? That's a questions a lot of people in this part of the country are asking," he said.
"Instead they are being rewarded for the economic destruction they brought Nigeria. Why can't the same be true for Boko Haram?"
The spaces to be remodelled are currently occupied by the university's school of science, engineering and technology.
Two laboratories at the Kydd Building will be upgraded during the work as well as a complete reconstruction of the north wing's southern facade.
The upgrade work will continue until the end of the year.
The university said the most disruptive phases of the project would be carried out over the summer break.
The Revue XXI magazine reported that Austrian-born SS commander Alois Brunner spent his last years living in squalid conditions.
It said he remained a fervent anti-Semite right up to his death.
Brunner is accused of deporting more than 128,000 Jews to death camps.
He was in charge of the Drancy internment camp outside Paris where Jews rounded up in France were held before being sent to the death camps. An estimated 345 children were among his victims.
For many years there has been uncertainty as to whether Brunner - born in 1912 - is still alive, although the chief investigator pursuing him told the BBC in 2014 that he believed Brunner died in 2010 in Damascus.
Brunner is believed to have fled to Syria in the 1950s from West Germany, reportedly serving later as an adviser to the Syrian government on torture tactics before being shunned by the authorities.
The latest investigation by the Revue XXI magazine (in French) quotes one of Brunner's guards as saying that he "suffered and cried a lot in his final years, [and] everyone heard him".
The guard, identified only as Omar, said Brunner survived on meagre army rations in the last years of his life.
The magazine's findings have been welcomed by renowned Nazi-hunter Serge Klarsfeld.
"We are satisfied to learn that he lived badly rather than well," Mr Klarsfeld told the AFP news agency.
Brunner was removed in April 2014 from the Simon Wiesenthal Center's most wanted list, in a move signifying that it too considered him to be dead.
The SS commander played a key role in the implementation of Hitler's "Final Solution" to murder Jews and has been described by Nazi hunters as "a monster", responsible for sending 47,000 Jews in Austria, 44,000 in Greece, 23,500 in France and 14,000 in Slovakia to camps where most were murdered.
In 2001 he was sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment by a court in France and is reported to have survived at least two Israeli intelligence assassination attempts while in Syria in 1961 and 1980.

The 30-year-old Scot admitted there was "obviously something there" in relation to Murray's hip injury but feels his movement against Benoit Paire suggests "we shouldn't be too worried".
"There's a day off between matches and he'd a straight-sets win," said Baker.
"He has more time to let that heal."
Baker believes the truest indicator of his good friend Murray's fitness is how he moves during play, and that his ability to race to the net to return Frenchmen Paire's drop shots in their last-16 game on Monday showed he is coping with the injury.
"If it was a real concern we wouldn't see him out on the practice court in between matches so he will be ready to go for the quarter-finals," said Baker, who retired from playing in 2013.

However, while some may already be looking forward to Murray playing a semi-final against Rafael Nadal's conqueror Gilles Muller or seventh seed Marin Cilic, Baker believes Murray will have to be on his guard against the big-serving American.
"Everyone was probably looking at the draw, seeing how well Nadal had started the tournament, and thinking it could be a seriously tough match against Andy Murray in the semi-final," Baker told BBC Scotland.
"Let's not forget Sam Querrey beat (Novak) Djokovic here last year. Nothing really flusters him. He is a dangerous opponent.
"However, if you'd said Andy Murray would have Querrey in the quarters and potentially Cilic in the semis, you'd take that."
Former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic is another warning Murray, in his 10th consecutive Wimbledon quarter-final, not to under-estimate 24th seed Querrey, who beat South Africa's Kevin Anderson in five sets to reach the last eight.
"He has a big game; he has nothing to lose," said 2001 winner Ivanisevic of the American.
"Andy is the absolute favourite, he sees himself in the semi-finals already, but he has to be careful not to be too defensive because Querrey is going to go for it.
"Andy hasn't played his best tennis yet and he is in the quarter-finals, which is great. Maybe we're about to see Andy at his best."
The BBC Weather Centre said many areas could see up to 3cm (1.2in) of snow on Sunday night, with up to 15cm (6in) on the Scottish mountains.
The Pennines, the Peak District and parts of North Yorkshire are also expected to be affected.
Drivers are being warned to watch out for ice across most of the UK.
Temperatures fell to -6C in many parts of Britain on Saturday night, from central Scotland through to Cumbria and Buckinghamshire.
It was particularly chilly at Loch Glascarnoch, in Ross and Cromarty, where an overnight temperature of -8.2C was recorded. And -7.3C was the temperature at Eskdalemuir, Dumfriesshire.
The Met Office has issued a low-level severe weather warning across most of Scotland, north and east England, and north Wales, because of the freezing temperatures and snow fall.
BBC Weather has yellow warnings of ice for eastern areas of England and Scotland, parts of northern England, Northern Ireland and north Wales on Sunday morning.
BBC Weather forecaster Holly Green said most of the UK would have a "dry, bright day in store", although it would remain cold, and scattered showers would spread across from the east to the west, bringing rain to northern Ireland, south-west England and Wales.
However, rain reaching western areas later on Sunday is expected to turn to snow across parts of Scotland and northern England.
Our forecaster said the areas most at risk of heavy snowfall were places like the Grampians, the Pennines, the Peak District and the North York Moors, where up to 15cm (6in) could be expected.
Lower levels would probably experience "slush accumulations", she said.
And the end of the cold snap is still not in sight, with the freezing temperatures due to last into next week.

On Saturday, light snowfall was reported in Cumbria, Teesside and County Durham, the Pennines and the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Up to an inch (25mm) of snow settled in some areas. Two Scottish ski resorts have been able to open for business this weekend.
Almost 30 flood warnings are still in place in England and Wales after heavy rain and winds battered parts of Britain earlier in the week.
Three people died in the storms, and hundreds of households are continuing the clean-up process in the aftermath of flooding, which hit parts of England and Wales.
The AA has warned drivers to be careful in the cold weather.
Patroller Andy Smith said: "This weekend will be winter's first serious test for drivers and their cars.
"Ice is the real concern, as it's been so wet recently, and it's very hard to distinguish between a puddle on the road and treacherous black ice."
The light covering of snow in parts of the UK has already prompted a flurry of bets on a white Christmas, according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.
The accident was reported at 10:00 BST on Sunday morning. The man did not fall into the sea.
Rescue teams from Larne and Ballycastle brought the man by inshore lifeboat into Ballygalley harbour, where an ambulance was waiting to treat him.
He was taken to hospital for treatment to arm and head injuries. The man is said to be in a stable condition.
A doctor and paramedic accompanied the casualty as the lifeboat made the short journey back to Ballygalley beach.
Speaking following the call out, Larne RNLI helm Pamela Leitch said: "Due to the nature of the cyclist's fall, the position for extraction was challenging via land and the best decision was to remove him from the beach side.
"We would like to wish the cyclist a speedy recovery following what must have been a frightening experience for him.
"Today's call out was a great example of different agencies working well together to bring someone to safety."
I spent the evening after FBI Director James Comey's firing with a group of women from developing countries who work to ease conflicts. Their take on what had just happened here was salutary, and a reminder that the global impact of what happens in Washington should not be underestimated.
Here were there two main concerns:
First, they fear the firing of Comey could embolden autocrats in their own countries. A woman from Uganda told me this is exactly the kind of thing President Yoweri Museveni takes note of it. She said leaders with dictatorial tendencies might use the dismissal as cover for their own autocratic actions - a sort of "if it's OK in America, then it's OK here too" rationale.
Second, these women, from Latin America, Asia and Africa were all surprised that America would risk compromising its moral leadership in this way. As one woman from Colombia put it, "In countries where the rule of law is fragile, we've looked to the US as an inspiration."
America is more than another democracy, she said, it's a role model for other nations, an example of what to do and what not to do.
To a woman, this group was concerned about the impact Comey's sudden dismissal would have on their own leaders.
Their conclusion was grim: It would encourage autocrats who already feel they are above the law to act with impunity.
It is the largest public building built in the UK in the 20th Century and was designed by architect Sir Colin St John Wilson and his partner MJ Long.
The library is home to documents including Magna Carta manuscripts and handwritten Beatles lyrics.
Seven other 20th Century libraries in England have been listed at Grade II.
Construction of the British Library on London's Euston Road began in 1982 and its doors opened in 1997, although moving in all of the books - estimated to be around 14 million - took four years.
It has been described as "one of England's finest modern public buildings" by heritage body Historic England.
The design includes five public floors with 11 reading rooms surrounding the centrepiece of the King's Library tower, which contains George III's library.
"The British Library divided opinion from the moment its design was revealed," said heritage minister Tracey Crouch, "but I am glad that expert advice now allows me to list it, ensuring that its iconic design is protected for future generations to enjoy."
The £506m building is home to the "treasures gallery" which holds rare historic books and documents including the Lindisfarne Gospels, Shakespeare's First Folio, Gutenberg's 1455 Bible and Handel's Messiah written in the composer's hand.
Nearby St Pancras Hotel and King's Cross Station also have Grade I listed status protecting the appearance of the buildings, while the British Library joins Lloyd's of London in the City of London as the youngest buildings listed in England.
British Library chief executive Roly Keating said the status reflected the building's "courageous and visionary design".
"Even in the relatively short period since its opening, it has worked its way into the affections of millions of visitors and researchers, who have discovered its beautiful spaces, subtle use of natural light and exquisite detailing," said Keating.
He added that it was "a privilege" to be listed alongside the seven other 20th Century libraries across the UK.
"As well as celebrating architectural excellence, this listing is a reminder, in the midst of the digital age, of the vital importance of libraries as physical spaces of the highest quality at the heart of their communities," said Keating.
The seven libraries to be awarded Grade II status are:
Two converted first-half tries and four penalties from Wallaby fly-half Bernard Foley in a virtuoso display brought a richly deserved win on a black night for England's men in white.
The result means both Australia and Wales are into the quarter-finals.
It is the first time that a host nation has gone out at the group stage of the tournament.

And to complete their humiliation, it is also the first time England have failed to make the knockout stages.
For England coach Stuart Lancaster it has been an awful World Cup, and questions will now be asked about his position, long-term contract or not.
His side have decelerated into this tournament and his selections fallen flat, his captain Chris Robshaw overwhelmed by the double-teaming David Pocock and Michael Hooper at the breakdown.
The Wallabies meanwhile will march on, as impressive on this night as any side so far and delighted to take revenge for defeat by England in their last three World Cup meetings.
England started uncertainly and only a desperate tackle from last man Mike Brown on Israel Folau denied the Wallabies an early try.
Folau then spilled a cross-kick on the try-line as he out-jumped Anthony Watson before both sides exchanged penalties, but on 20 minutes a series of yellow-shirted drives deep into England's 22 prised open the safe door.
England were stretched, Will Genia spotted a mismatch down the right and Foley stepped between Joe Launchbury and Ben Youngs before skipping inside Brown to dive over the line.
Twice England lost promising attacking positions on the opposition 22 to rapacious Australian turnovers, and five minutes before half-time they were torn open once again.
Off quick ball Foley accelerated onto Genia's pass, found Kurtley Beale on his inside shoulder and exchanged quicksilver passes to go clear for his second try, the conversion making it 17-3 at the break.
England were in quicksand, the Wallabies on fast-forward. When Foley's second penalty made it a 17-point lead the game looked gone.
But with George Ford on at fly-half - winger Jonny May's injury saw England shuffle everyone from Owen Farrell out one spot - England at last began to probe, and when Watson powered through two defenders down the right with 25 minutes left and Farrell landed the conversion from out wide there was at last hope.
England's replacements were making a difference, a Ford kick ahead setting up a Farrell penalty that made it 20-13 with 15 minutes to go.
But Farrell was then sin-binned for a dangerous tackle, with replacement Sam Burgess lucky not to be yellow carded for a worse hit milliseconds later, and Foley drilled over the penalty to kill that precious momentum.
A second penalty meant England were effectively out, and veteran Wallaby centre Matt Giteau dived joyously over in the last action of the match to twist the knife.
Wallabies fly-half Bernard Foley has sometimes been criticised for lacking the flair of his rival Quade Cooper, but he ran the show for his side and outshone his opposite number Farrell.
England: Brown; Watson, Joseph, Barritt, May; Farrell, B Youngs; Marler, T Youngs, Cole, Launchbury, Parling, Wood, Robshaw, Morgan.
Replacements: Burgess for Barritt (65), Ford for May (41), Wigglesworth for B Youngs (50), Vunipola for Marler (50), Webber for T Youngs (61), Brookes for Cole (55), Kruis for Launchbury (70), Easter for Morgan (58).
Sin bin: Farrell (71).
Australia: Folau; Ashley-Cooper, Kuridrani, Giteau, Horne; Foley, Genia; Sio, Moore, Kepu, Douglas, Simmons, Fardy, Hooper, Pocock.
Replacements: Toomua for Folau (66), Phipps for Genia (61), Slipper for Sio (58), Polota-Nau for Moore (65), Holmes for Kepu (58), Mumm for Simmons (66), McCalman for Fardy (76), Beale for Horne (10 mins).

The 14:22 service from London St Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord was delayed for about an hour on Sunday after hitting the animal in the Haute Picardie area of northern France.
A Eurostar spokesman said this led to minor delays as temporary speed restrictions were put in place.
He said the train arrived safely at the Paris terminus.
"The collision caused a few delays as the train was stopped to be checked," he said.
"After any collision we need to make sure everything is safe.
"There are wild boars in that area, which can take it upon themselves to roam from their area onto the track."
It is understood no-one was injured, but there has been no further information about the wild boar.
While services appeared to be running as normal by 19:30 BST, the company's website still warned passengers of possible delays.
The member for Oldham West and Royton served as a minister under Harold Wilson, James Callaghan and Tony Blair, while during Labour's opposition years he sat in the shadow cabinet for 14 years and was tipped by some as a possible future leader.
In recent years, he was an outspoken backbencher to the left of the party, and maintained his seat with a 14,738 majority at May's general election.
He had two sons and two daughters from his first marriage in 1962 to Molly, now cross-bench peer Baroness Meacher. He wed again in 1988 to Lucianne, a charity director, who survives him.
Educated at Oxford University and the London School of Economics, Mr Meacher first ran for Parliament in 1966 in Colchester. Four years later he was elected in Oldham West, the area he would serve for the rest of his life.
Formerly a close political colleague of Tony Benn, he stood as the left's candidate against Roy Hattersley for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party in 1983, but was soundly defeated.
In 1988 he lost a libel action against the journalist Alan Watkins, who reported that Mr Meacher had invented his working-class roots, by referring to his father as a farm labourer, when in fact he was an accountant.
Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock once described Mr Meacher as Tony Benn's "vicar on earth".
Mr Kinnock could not bear the left-wing firebrand - and made no bones about the fact that, minutes after entering Downing Street, he would reshuffle the team which had been dumped on him - and out would go Mr Meacher, among others.
But the Oldham West MP proved remarkably resilient. He survived into government under Tony Blair's leadership when Mr Kinnock did not, and was even given a job by Mr Blair, who took a much more charitable view of him.
He moved closer to the political centre-ground after being made environment minister in 1997, though he remained one of the most radical members of Mr Blair's government.
As an environment minister he was credited as a skilled negotiator and with helping John Prescott in securing the Kyoto agreement to limit carbon emissions in 1997 and was a strong supporter of measures to cut carbon emissions and tackle man-made global warming.
He was involved with the "right to roam", a Labour manifesto pledge which opened up the large parts of countryside to the public.
In October 2002, he fulfilled a pledge to swim in the sea off Blackpool if it met European beach waters standard.
He had several brushes with the press - and was accused of hypocrisy in 1999 for suggesting a ban on owning a second home, at a time when he had three properties.
Mr Meacher was sacked as environment minister in 2003, returning to the backbenches where he attacked the Labour government's record on the environment, foreign affairs and Trident.
He became an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq, despite voting for it in March 2003 - something he "bitterly" regretted.
"That is the biggest political mistake I've made in my life. I believed what the prime minister said about weapons of mass destruction," he said.
In 2007, he contested the Labour leadership, stepping aside as part of an agreement with fellow left-wing Labour MP John McDonnell after failing to get enough Labour MPs backing him to be able to enter the full contest.
Despite this, Mr McDonnell - now the shadow chancellor - still failed to get the 44 backers needed to join the official contest.
Mr Meacher's Parliamentary work included campaigning against the company carrying out fitness-to-work tests, and he criticised the "grinding austerity" policies of the coalition government.
His views on Tony Blair soured as he lamented the direction taken by the party under the former prime minister: "I underestimated how far he was going to take us," he said in 2012.
Mr Meacher attacked Mr Blair's interventions in the Labour leadership contest - where he backed eventual winner Jeremy Corbyn - accusing the former prime minister of "hijacking the party down a route utterly alien to its founders".
And when Lord Mandelson discussed the removal of Mr Corbyn as leader, Mr Meacher said the former business secretary should be thrown out of the party.
The victim was 70-year-old Ivan Vaughan from Caledon in County Tyrone.
He was found at about 11:25 local time on a cross-border road at Corraghdown, Glaslough.
A Garda (Irish police) spokesman said it appeared his car got stuck in flooding and when he got out he was swept away. His body was found about 10 metres from his car.
They said Mr Vaughan's death did not appear to be suspicious.
He had been reported missing earlier on Monday morning.
The Mid Ulster Mail is reporting that Mr Vaughan, a former showband singer, was returning from a gig in Glaslough on Sunday night when the tragedy happened.
He was known in the entertainment business as Simon Scott and performed with the group the Plattermen in the 1960s and 70s and recently worked as a solo artist.
Gary Johnson's side looked like being frustrated when Harry Pell hit the post, but Rob Dickie's header and Dan Holman's 26th goal of the season secured all three points.
Pell was then sent off late on for a second bookable offence.
Guiseley's best effort came through James Hurst's deflected strike, which was easily saved by Jonathan Flatt.
With Forest Green only managing a draw at Braintree, Cheltenham need four points from their remaining three games to secure an immediate return to the Football League.
Guiseley meanwhile remain two points clear of the bottom four.
Cheltenham Town boss Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"It was a close game - Guiseley played very defensively and tried to catch us on the break and we weren't finding any holes really early on.
"I made a change because I felt we needed to do something different - give the lads some new people to break them down and it worked.
"Last ten minutes we got the two goals and sent our fans home happy and it's put us in a fantastic position now."
They also released pictures of the aftermath of the shooting and the car Holmes used to drive to the cinema in July 2012.
Holmes killed 12 people and wounded 70 others in the attack.
Last month jurors decided not to give him the death penalty. He was instead sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The photos show chemical and incendiary devices linked by wires, intended to distract emergency responders from the cinema shooting. The devices were later defused by a police bomb squad.
Prosecutors said that the traps were designed to kill anyone who tried to enter and that if the explosives had been detonated, the resulting fireball could have damaged much of the building.
The images were released after open records requests.
Holmes slipped into a midnight screening of Batman film The Dark Knight Rises armed with a semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and a pistol.
He threw smoke canisters and shot at people trying to escape.
Prosecutors argued the attack was clearly premeditated, with Holmes planning and amassing weapons for months.
The beaten National League play-off finalists, owned by Dale Vince, had debts of £5.4m as recently as December.
The Gloucestershire club are currently building an 'Eco Park', consisting of an all-seater stadium and a 100-acre sports and green technology centre.
"I think every agent thinks at Forest Green there's a gravy train there and loads of money," Cooper said.
"From the outside everybody thinks that, but that's not the case.
"I want to bring in some real good characters, not just people that are coming for a payday or an easy life."
Vince has recently said the club's long-term goal is to reach the Championship, and wants to be in the Football League by the time they move into their new ground.
Cooper was named as the new boss earlier this month and has since given new deals to Sam Wedgbury and captain Aarran Racine.
"We're trying to run things properly and correctly, and any player that comes in certainly won't be for money only," he told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"They want to come and progress their careers. If they don't want to and they're just coming to sit on a contract, they're not right for us.
"The chairman has been brilliant in what he's done for the football club - if we need to go and try and attract what we think is a top quality player for the club, I'm sure he'll do it."
Meanwhile, midfielder Marcus Kelly has signed a new one-year contract with Forest Green.
The Biomass mission's novel space radar will make 3D maps of forests, improving our understanding of how carbon is cycled through the Earth system.
Its data will be important for climate research, and will create a baseline for treaties that seek to monitor the status of global forest resources.
The spacecraft is to be assembled by the UK arm of Airbus Defence and Space.
It signed a contract with the European Space Agency (Esa) on Friday last week valued at €229m (£179m).
The mission, which will launch on a Vega rocket in 2021, is part of Esa's Earth Explorer programme.
This operates a fleet of satellites that deploy innovative sensor technology to address big, outstanding environmental questions.
The newness in Biomass is its P-band radar: a type of instrument that only recently has begun to be exploited in orbit.
By pulsing with a wavelength of 70cm, the radar can look through the leaf canopy of forests to the woody parts below.
Using an approach akin to tomography, it will scan slices through the trees on repeat passes to build up a picture of how much woody material is present.
Global maps should be produced every six months. The plan is for Biomass to gather at least five years' worth of data.
"Effectively, we'll be weighing the forests," said Prof Shaun Quegan, who was one of the key proposers of the mission.
"We'll know their weight and their height at a scale of 200m, and we'll see how they are changing over time.
"This will give us unprecedented information on deforestation - on how much carbon is going into the atmosphere from this source. At the same time, we'll also see how much carbon is being taken up in regrowth," the Sheffield University scientist told BBC News.
Biomass Earth Explorer
Biomass will be permitted under international telecommunications rules to operate everywhere except the far north of the Americas and northern Europe.
Military priority for the detection of missiles means the satellite will have to turn off its radar in these regions.
Scientists are not unduly concerned about this, however, because forest statistics in those areas are already reasonably robust. The major regions of uncertainty are in the tropics, where Biomass can wield its instrument without restriction.
The capture of the satellite contract from Esa is a further boost to the British space sector. After some lean years, it is now the industrial lead on a number of the agency's missions:
"This is further proof of the confidence Esa has in UK industry to deliver," said Airbus executive Andy Stroomer. "It also affirms our approach to re-use proven systems to reduce cost.
"So, although Biomass with its big antenna looks quite different from Sentinel-5p, they actually share many of the same components, particularly the electronics."
All missions have a primary objective, but then enterprising researchers will find secondary applications for a satellite's data. Biomass promises some fascinating alternative uses.
Its P-band radar, for example, will see tens of metres into the ground.
"The penetration depth of the radio wave is very high compared to any other radar," explained Volker Liebig, Esa's director of Earth observation.
"This means in deserts we can look under the sand for archaeology, for the foundations of old buildings. It may be possible to see old impact structures from meteorites as well."
UK science minister Jo Johnson, who witnessed the contract signing between Mr Stroomer and Prof Liebig, said: "Biomass is a revolutionary mission, helping us better understand our planet's carbon cycle to help tackle climate change.
"Satellites are the only way for us to get this unique perspective on our planet. It is our membership of Esa and our reputation for science and innovation that enables UK industry to win major satellite manufacturing contracts such as this one, creating jobs around the country."

Wiggins was granted three TUEs to take anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone before the 2011 and 2012 Tour de France and the 2013 Giro d'Italia.
"Taking TUEs just before major events raises questions for me," Cooke said.
Cooke also told MPs British Cycling is run "by men for men" and its attempts to stop doping are "ineffective".
Wiggins' TUEs were approved by British authorities and cycling's world governing body the UCI, and there is no suggestion either the 36-year-old or his former employers Team Sky have broken any rules.
Cooke, 33, made the claims in evidence submitted to a Culture, Media and Sport select committee on Tuesday.
The committee is examining doping in sport and Tuesday's session was held to discuss issues raised at a previous hearing involving British Cycling and Team Sky in December.
In a wide-ranging testimony, Cooke provided examples of sexism she had encountered in her 13-year career, stating British Cycling shows "discrimination and favouritism" because it is "answerable to itself".
The Welsh former world and Commonwealth cycling champion added that the fight against doping is "the wrong people fighting the wrong war, in the wrong way, with the wrong tools".
"While there is still a way to go, British Cycling is absolutely committed to resolving the historic gender imbalance in our sport," said the governing body in a statement.
British Cycling is the subject of an investigation by UK Anti-Doping into allegations of wrongdoing in the sport and is also awaiting the findings of an independent review into an alleged bullying culture.
Five-time Olympic champion Wiggins was granted a TUE to treat asthma and allergies, which was revealed when hacking group Fancy Bears released athletes' medical files stolen from the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).
Cooke compared her use of the steroid triamcinolone with that of Wiggins, stating she was granted a TUE for injections of the drug to treat a career-threatening knee injury as an alternative to surgery.
She said she did not race again until "long after the performance-enhancing effects had worn off", and she added that Wiggins appeared to use the "same steroid before his main goals of the season".
Cooke added she found the chronology of Wiggins' TUEs "disturbing" and that it made her "sceptical" of what Team Sky have done.
The team was launched in 2010 with a zero-tolerance approach towards doping in cycling.

An inquiry by Ukad was launched following a Daily Mail allegation that a medical package was delivered to Wiggins on the final day of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine.
Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford told MPs in December that the package contained legal decongestant Fluimucil, but MP Damian Collins, chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, says British Cycling have been unable to provide paperwork to prove the contents of the medical package.
"I find the stance of being the cleanest team, yet Dave Brailsford not being able to say what a rider took, definitely makes it hard to back up that claim," Cooked added.
She also raised concerns as to why Simon Cope, who was British Cycling women's coach at the time, was chosen to courier the package to Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman in France.
"I do find it very surprising that Simon Cope transported something internationally without knowing what was in it," Cooke told MPs.
She also alleged that Cope, a former team-mate of Wiggins at the Linda McCartney professional team, "spent some weeks riding a moped in front of Wiggins as part of a training regimen" as an example of how resources were "stripped out of the women's program to augment the men's program".
When asked by MPs if sexism was culturally embedded in British Cycling, Cooke said: "Yes I do".
She claimed that during her career, the governing body showed only "transient" support for female road riders.
As part of her written evidence and appearance via video-link from Paris, Cooke cited numerous examples of "discrimination and favouritism" shown by British Cycling.
She said the prize for the women's 2006 British Championships was a "tiny fraction" of the men's race, despite Cooke having just won the Grande Boucle Feminine Internationale - the women's equivalent of the Tour de France.
The 2008 road race world champion added she had to take her own skin suit to the event in Italy after British Cycling had forgotten to organise one, having to then sew a Team Sky logo onto it at the behest of Brailsford.
"The facts are they did nothing for the women," said Cooke.
An independent review into the culture of British Cycling began after its former technical director Shane Sutton was accused of using offensive and discriminatory language towards cyclist Jess Varnish.
Despite being cleared of eight of the nine charges against him, the Australian was found guilty of using sexist language in October but denies any wrongdoing and said he would appeal the ruling.
In her written evidence, Cooke said she had "no faith in the actions in support of investigations conducted by Ukad or the testing they conduct, both completed at significant expense to the public purse".
In response, Ukad said: "There should be no doubt about the determination of this organisation to protect clean sport; our staff passionately believe in protecting everyone's right to clean, fair and honest competition.
Regarding Cooke's accusations of sexism, British Cycling said in a statement: "There is always more that can be done and we strive to make continual improvements to ensure that cycling is reaching out to women and girls of all ages and abilities."
Meanwhile, UK Sport has launched an independent review to investigate some of the issues raised by Cooke.
"UK Sport takes its responsibilities as an investor of public funds and a champion of equality in sport very seriously," said a spokesman.
"On matters raised relating to the governance of the national governing body, UK Sport and Sport England have recently published a new code for sports governance which raises the bar for the requirements around governance that all sports bodies who receive public funding will need to address and comply to."
Robert Mueller has come under attacks recently, with the Speaker of the House casting doubts over his credibility.
Trump advocate Newt Gingrich urged the president to "rethink" Mr Mueller's position.
A close friend said Mr Trump saw firing him as an option, but the White House said both never discussed this issue.
Mr Mueller, who was tasked by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein with overseeing the justice department's investigation, has started selecting members of his team, many of them criminal law experts.
If confirmed, his dismissal could have explosive implications and renew criticism of Mr Trump, who has been under intense pressure following his firing of James Comey as FBI director, and accusations that he might have tried to obstruct the investigation.
The very appointment of Mr Mueller only happened after calls for such a move sparked by Mr Comey's firing. Mr Trump considers the inquiry a "witch hunt".
The latest appointments from Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation could be a more ominous indication of trouble on the horizon for the Trump administration.
The hires could be an indication of the direction of the probe and the seriousness with which Mr Mueller is taking the enterprise.
Donald Trump has called the ongoing investigation a "witch hunt", a "hoax" and an excuse by Democrats for why they lost the presidential race. Mr Mueller's moves, however, indicate he does not share Mr Trump's view. He's assembling a team built for the long haul, with the talent and experience to take cases to trial and, if necessary, send people to prison.
So far, Mr Trump has only directed his criticism at former FBI Director James Comey. It may only be a matter of time before some of that attention is directed at Mr Mueller, however.

Mr Mueller's appointment was initially praised by both Republicans and Democrats, but some influential conservatives have intensified their attacks, openly defending his dismissal.
Prominent radio host Mark Levin wrote on Facebook that "Mueller must step aside", while commentator Ann Coulter said there was no point in keeping him after Mr Comey confirmed that Mr Trump was not under investigation. She said on Twitter: "Why do we need a special counsel now?"
Meanwhile, Mr Gingrich, also on Twitter, said: "Republicans are delusional if they think the special counsel is going to be fair. Look who he is hiring."
Mr Trump does not have the authority to dismiss Mr Mueller, and he would have to ask Mr Rosenstein, who appointed the special counsel, to do so.
This would evoke memories of the "Saturday Night Massacre" of 1973, when President Richard Nixon sought to dismiss a special prosecutor.
But a long-time friend of Mr Trump said the president was considering sacking Mr Mueller.
Christopher Ruddy, chief executive of conservative group Newsmax Media, Mr Ruddy was at the White House on Monday, but US media reported that he did not meet Mr Trump while there.
In an interview with PBS Newshour, he said: "I think he is considering, perhaps, terminating the special counsel."
"I think he's weighing that option," he added, saying there were concerns about conflicts of interest, including Mr Mueller's interview to replace Mr Comey at the FBI and his law firm, which represents members of Trump family.
But he said: "I personally think it would be a very significant mistake."
Hours after the interview, White House spokesman Sean Spicer did not deny the claim, but said: "Mr Ruddy never spoke to the president regarding this issue. With respect to this subject, only the president or his attorneys are authorised to comment."
Hywel Dda in west Wales overspent by £31.2m, and north Wales' Betsi Cadwaladr by £19.5m.
The Welsh Government has provided £23.9m extra cash to Hywel Dda, which will need to be repaid, but not for Betsi Cadwaladr.
Hywel Dda said its service performance had "stabilised" while Betsi said the overspend was 1.5% of its budget.
Welsh Government Health Minister Vaughan Gething confirmed Hywel Dda and Betsi Cadwaladr had overspent in a statement to AMs.
Previous Health Minister Mark Drakeford warned earlier in 2016 that both health boards were unlikely to break even.
Seven out of the ten organisations that run Welsh NHS services broke even in both 2014-15 and 2015-16.
The Cardiff and Vale board failed in 2014-15 but achieved break-even in 2015-16. Neither Betsi or Hywel Dda broke even that year.
Mr Gething said: "I am confident the health and social services budget will break even overall in 2015-16 following the additional investment outlined above and through other appropriate actions that have been taken to find budgetary savings to offset the deficits incurred by the two health boards in 2015-16."
Steve Moore, chief executive at Hywel Dda University Health Board which spent a total of £809.6m in the year to March 2016, said: "Over the last year, we have seen our service performance stabilise and we remain ambitious about improving health outcomes, quality of care and best value across all our services for the benefit of our local population."
Betsi Cadwaladr is trying to save £42.8m over the next year to break even by 2017.
A spokesman for the health board said its £19.5m deficit was "slightly below its forecast for the year of £19.7m, and represents 1.5% of our budget".
The board had a net expenditure of £1.3bn.
A Welsh Government spokesman said Hywel Dda received £23.9m in 2015-16 to meet ongoing cash commitments such as payroll and payments to HMRC.
He said: "This is not additional funding, and will be repayable in future. No additional cash assistance was provided to Betsi Cadwaladr UHB in 2015-16."
"The overspend in the two health boards was managed by holding back on central Welsh Government expenditure, so that the total Welsh Government health and social services budget was able to break-even in 2015-16," he added.
Paco Alcacer scored his first La Liga goal for Barcelona on a rare start, with Luis Suarez rested, when he turned home Neymar's cross from 10 yards.
Lionel Messi doubled the lead when he beat Athletic keeper Gorka Iraizoz at his near post from a right-wing free-kick.
And Aleix Vidal sealed the win after a solo run past several defenders.
His goal meant Barca became the first European team to score 100 times in all competitions this season, with Monaco also reaching the landmark later in the afternoon.
Real Madrid, whose scheduled match away to Celta Vigo on Sunday has been postponed because of storm damage to the hosts' stadium, have two games in hand on Barca.
Sevilla, who are three points behind Barcelona, host Villarreal on Sunday (11:00 GMT).
Fourth-placed Atletico Madrid beat Leganes 2-0, with Fernando Torres scoring his first two La Liga goals since September.
In Saturday's other La Liga matches, Sergi Enrich scored twice as Eibar climbed to seventh with a 4-0 victory at 10-man Valencia, who had Carlos Soler sent off, while Espanyol won 1-0 at Malaga.

Developers wanted to build the 100m high turbines near Romanno Bridge in Peebleshire.
Stevenson Hill Wind Energy, on behalf of West Coast Energy, also applied to construct a new access road from the A701.
The application drew 125 letters of objection and one of support.
They wanted to build the turbines along the ridges of the peaks of Green Knows, Hag Law and Wether Law.
Members of the Scottish Borders Council's planning applications committee raised concerns about its visual impact on the landscape and neighbouring communities.
Archaeologists had also claimed it would cause unacceptable harm to four scheduled monuments of national importance and a historic landscape of "at least regional importance".
Planning officials advised councillors to reject the scheme on landscape impact and potential noise nuisance grounds.
The woman, 27, from Bedford, was left with two fractures to her eye socket when Charlie Mulryan, 33, punched her on 3 June after he had been drinking.
Mulryan, who had been living in Cambridgeshire at the time, admitted grievous bodily harm with intent.
He was jailed for three years and 10 months at Luton Crown Court.
Mulryan, of no fixed address, travelled by bus to meet the woman at her friend's house in Kempston but had already been drinking when he arrived and had a bottle of vodka in his pocket, the court heard.
More news from Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire
He was "behaving strangely" and was asked to leave, prosecutor Kevin West said.
However when his victim joined him outside Mulryan called her a "slag" and a "bitch" and punched her to the ground.
He damaged two cars in the street as he left before the owner of one vehicle caught him, knocking him unconscious.
In a statement his victim said she had been left feeling "very vulnerable" after the attack, adding: "Scouse accents give me panic attacks."
It is not yet known if she suffered permanent eye damage.
"He remembers very little. He feels extremely remorseful," Shaun Esprit, defending Mulryan, said.
At the time of the attack Mulryan, who had 49 previous convictions for 113 offences, was in breach of an eight-week suspended sentence for assaulting a police officer.
He also pleaded guilty to criminal damage to the cars.
Mulryan was jailed for three years and nine months, with a further one month to run consecutively for breaching his licence terms.
Jailing him, Judge Philip Bartle QC said: "You are someone who is clearly capable of very serious violence."
The Sex and the City star was due to play the lead role in a new play called Linda, by Penelope Skinner.
In a statement, Cattrall said "with great sadness and at the advice of my doctors" she would not be able to continue with the production.
The star, 59, thanked the theatre "for allowing me to put my health first".
Olivier Award winner Noma Dumezweni has stepped in to replace Cattrall, and will join rehearsals on Friday.
Royal Court artistic director, Vicky Featherstone, said the theatre was "deeply sorry that Kim is unable to continue with the production".
"We are extremely grateful and also thrilled that Noma Dumezweni, one of our most brilliant actors, has agreed to take on this challenge at such short notice.
"We are delighted that in spite of these difficulties Penelope Skinner's important play can open to our audiences with minimal disruption."
Performances begin on 26 November, with press night on 1 December.
In September, the club said its motto would be reinstated after its removal for this season led to protests.
Fans were given a choice of three new crests they could vote for.
Nearly 80% of fans that took part opted for the winning design, which garnered 10,343 votes, while 12% of fans chose the second option and 9% the third.
Unveiling the crest, Everton manager Roberto Martinez said: "I was impressed straightaway when I saw it but there has been a huge majority of fans have chosen this one.
"It captures what we were looking for: to have a modern touch and to be a global badge without taking away all the key icons of the football club.
"Certain icons represent many years of history and that is important. Fans made it clear they wanted to see the tower and our motto and I think it is important 'Nil satis' is back on the badge."
The motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum, which means "nothing but the best", dates back 75 years but disappeared as part of the redesign.
The club apologised in May after 22,000 fans signed an online petition condemning the "awful" 2013-2014 badge.
The winning design, which was voted for via the club's website, will be used from next season.
The Northern Lights Academy, in Hartlepool, Teesside, has a TV and sound studio, a computer suite, two dance studios and a 200-seat theatre.
However, the Headland Development Trust which ran it collapsed in 2012.
Hartlepool Borough Council said it is trying to find groups to take on the facility and has spent about £50,000 mothballing the building.
Mark Patton, the local authority's assistant director for education, learning and skills, said it would be "a crying shame" if the building was not used.
"At the time there was clearly a view from central government that things were in place to make it happen," Mr Patton said.
"There is a clear potential here now and we have to work collectively to do something about that."
The facility was funded by the Department for Education, which said "all necessary checks were taken by the Big Lottery Fund" which administrated the £4.5m on behalf of the government.
The scheme was intended to provide space for young people and help tackle anti-social behaviour by enabling them to re-engage them with their communities.
Children's services committee chairman Alan Clark said the facility "will have to be self-sustainable because the council doesn't have the resources to fund this building".
St Hild's Church of England School, on whose site the academy was constructed, looked after the building on a short-term basis before the council took over, but the school does not have any liability for the scheme.
Headland's former directors could not be reached for comment.
A Freedom of Information request revealed 13 breaches of data protection law at the agency's headquarters in 2014.
A director's home address was revealed on the public register following a "mix-up" of documents being scanned.
Case correspondence was also mistakenly scanned onto the register.
A new personnel system also allowed staff access to information on the duration of colleagues' sickness absences.
Companies House, which currently employs 904 people in Cardiff and registers the information companies are legally required to supply, said it had "an incident process in place that all staff adhere to" when a breach of data protection law happens.
In January, a High Court judge ruled that a mistake by Companies House caused a 124-year-old south Wales company to go into administration.
One of those who died, 17-year-old Corey Price, represented Cardiff City Academy over eight years from age nine.
The club said it had been "deeply saddened" to hear of the deaths of Corey, his friends Alesha O'Connor and Rhodri Miller, and Margaret Challis who was a passenger in another car.
The match between members of the community will be held on 14 June.
Corey's father, Lee Price, said: "It's been overwhelming. Corey spent eight years with Cardiff's Academy and the club recently came to me with the idea of a memorial match.
"Corey had an infectious giggle when he got excited and I'm sure he'll be looking down with a smile on his face."
Academy operations manager Anthony Redwood, who was instrumental in arranging the match with Corey's family, said he had been in regular contact with the families.
"Corey played a major part in our programme and more so in the lives of others - the staff and his teammates at the academy," he said
"We hope that we can make an annual event of the match and celebrate their memories."
Admission for the match at Cardiff City Stadium is free. There will be bucket collections and donations accepted on the day.
All proceeds will go towards a Corey Price memorial bench at Corey's school, Ysgol Bro Morgannwg in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan.
A second memorial bench will also be placed at the Cardiff City Academy training ground.
The crash happened on the A470 near Storey Arms, Brecon, on 6 March.
Corey and his two 17-year-old friends were from Barry. Mrs Challis, 66, was from Merthyr Tydfil.
Seven teenage drivers who were arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after the crash have been bailed.
China lost the first set 25-19 but fought back in the second to level the game at 1-1.
Despite a Serbia fightback late in the fourth game, China stayed calm to register a 3-1 victory, with many players left in tears after the match.
The United States, who were silver medallists in 2012, won bronze after beating the Netherlands 3-1.

'House prices soar'. 'Fears of a housing bubble'. 'First-time buyers priced-out'. These are familiar headlines to Londoners. Each has appeared in the press in the past month, but similar headlines have become all-too recognisable over the past couple of years.
London's house prices are rising by more than 20% annually, according to latest Office for National Statistics figures.
The city needs 63,000 new homes each year, but only a third of these are being built while a "lost generation is being ruled out of ownership" due to "soaring rents, poor conditions and rising homelessness", it has been claimed.
But what alternative solutions are being put forward to tackle the issue?
One in four children in London live in overcrowded homes, according to English Housing Survey figures. At the same time, thousands of single elderly people live alone in multi-bedroomed suburban properties.
In 2012, Local Government Association president Lord Richard Best proposed a radical solution: Building 100,000 homes designed especially for the needs of an ageing population.
By downsizing, older people could free up accommodation for families, helping a whole generation of first-time buyers who are priced out of the market.
"We free up lots of family housing, and we look after ourselves when we're older because, sooner or later, those three-bedroom, four-bedroom family houses are going to be too much for us," Lord Best said.
But how easy would it be to convince elderly people to move out of the home they may have lived in for most of their lives?
Peter Girling, chairman of Girlings Retirement Rentals, suggested the government should offer tax breaks to elderly people who give up their property.
"You can't force people to move but you could help them along the way," he said.
Perhaps we should just face the fact the golden age of home ownership might be over, and learn to rent like the Germans?
According to the 2011 German census, only 16% of Berliners owned their own place, compared with 50% in London.
"People in Germany or Paris live in rented accommodation for their entire lives and there's no stigma attached," said Patricia Brown, who chairs the London Festival of Architecture.
She said following the example of Germany and enabling people to rent better properties for longer could be a solution. For instance, in Germany tenants can only be evicted with a minimum of three months' notice.
London's mayor Boris Johnson launched a voluntary accreditation scheme aimed at improving rental standards in May.
In order to be approved for the London Rental Standard, landlords are required to meet a set of commitments including "transparent fees" and "improved response times for repairs".
But Labour's London Assembly housing spokesman Tom Copley thinks the scheme does not go far enough.
He suggested three-year tenancies "as standard with caps on annual rent increases" would make "renting in London more stable".
There is still plenty of green belt land within the M25 and Sam Bowman, a research director at pro free market think-tank The Adam Smith Institute, thinks maybe the time has come to build on it.
As of 2010, London had 484,173 hectares of green belt - 3.7% of England's total land area, according to the Campaign to Protect Rural England.
Mr Bowman said this would mean "bigger homes and cheaper homes for everybody in order to give people that space to live".
But Ann Goddard, of Elstree & Borehamwood Greenbelt Society, said: "Green belt is very important. You only have to look at the English countryside. It's so pretty."
Ms Goddard, who lives in the green belt in Hertsmere, Hertfordshire - 12 miles (19km) north-west of central London and within the M25 - added: "We need green spaces for recreation purposes and to make a demarcation between the settlements."
Mr Bowman suggested a compromise could be reached "if we stopped thinking of the greenbelt as one single unit and differentiate between the areas of beauty and the intensive farmland".
Perhaps there is not a shortage of homes for Londoners after all. More than 80,000 homes in the capital currently stand empty.
Last year, councils were empowered to use the Empty Homes Premium to charge home owners 50% more council tax if they left properties empty for two or more years.
But the results of a Freedom of Information request published by BBC London last week showed that just 4,399 of the 80,489 empty properties in the capital had been subjected to the Empty Homes Premium.
Responding to the revelations, Labour leader Ed Miliband said he was "deeply concerned".
But Daniel Astaire, Westminster Council's Conservative cabinet member for housing, said: "The way to build homes is not to tax existing homes and stop people investing and buying in our city."
Building on brownfield sites - land previously used for industrial or commercial purposes - is possibly the least controversial solution on this list.
In June, the Treasury announced 50,000 new London homes would be built on 20 such sites.
But Mr Johnson has said the scheme is a "just a fraction of what needs to be done".
The mayor has said 49,000 homes need to be built in the capital each year, while Labour puts this figure at 63,000.
But developers face problems. Brownfield land is often contaminated and expensive to clean, getting planning permission to build can be a lengthy and costly process and putting in new roads and train links can prove tricky.
But Lib Dem London Assembly member Stephen Knight said what was important was the type of homes that were built.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said "no vehicle will have a red light" from 1 May, and "there will no exceptions".
Under the new rule, only emergency vehicles, ambulances, fire engines and police cars can use flashing blue lights.
Critics say VIPs often use red beacons as a status symbol, leading to traffic chaos for commuters.
Status-conscious politicians and government officials are also accused of using the beacons to bypass the gridlocked city traffic on official business and show off their importance.
Mr Jaitley said the government was "removing the rule which allows state and central government to specify who can use the red lights".
Correspondents say the government's move comes as a blow to India's fabled "VIP culture" that privileges politicians and officials above ordinary citizens.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to twitter to respond to messages from his followers about his government's decision.
"It's a huge democratic decision," Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took the lead in 2015 by asserting he would not have the red beacon on his car.
In 2013, India's Supreme Court had said that only those holding constitutional office - the president, the prime minister, cabinet ministers, senior judges and some other officials - could have red beacons on their cars. | India will ban ministers and senior officials from using red beacons on their cars to speed through traffic. | 39,650,490 | 310 | 22 | false |
Students at UWE Bristol, working with the charity Oxfam, have built the urinal which they're testing at the university's grounds.
They hope that if the trial is successful, the technology could be used to provide light for toilets in refugee camps, where electricity is scarce.
Andy Bastable, from Oxfam, says this could be a massive step forward: "Fuel for generators is expensive. As urine is free, this an extremely low-cost and sustainable way of producing light for people at night."
A human produces 500 litres of wee every year, so there's always a lot to use and it's easy to get hold of.
The technology is called Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC).
Microbes are little cells that feed on wee; they then create electricity as a side-effect which can be used to power the lights!
The equipment that does this is placed under the toilet to collect the wee and process it.
Professor Ioannis Ieropoulos, who's leading the project, says the important thing is how cheap this is: "This experiment could cost as little as £600 to set up.
"This technology is in theory everlasting."
This isn't the first experiment to try and make our body waste produce useful things.

Relations between Russia, Egypt and the UK are already under strain, and Egypt stands to lose billions of pounds in tourism revenue if it is confirmed that IS was able to smuggle a bomb through one of its most popular resorts.
Here BBC correspondents look at the potential fallout for some of the parties in an increasingly complex international incident.
In search for answers, British ties to Egypt take a hit
Airport security rethink 'may be needed'
Could Islamic State have bombed Flight 9268?
What we know about the Sinai crash
Egypt has launched its own intelligence investigation into how a bomb could have been placed onboard the airliner. A senior Egyptian official who asked not to be named has told the BBC that every lead was being followed up, and security at its airports vastly increased, even though the official crash investigation has yet to conclude.
Britain has still not shared its intelligence with Egypt on the suspected bombing of the Metrojet airliner, said the official.
The official said its intelligence service was looking into every possibility of how someone could have placed a bomb inside the luggage compartment of the doomed plane.
This included going through CCTV footage from the airport's baggage area, which had not yet revealed anything suspicious, and questioning employees. Western counter-terrorism experts suspect that jihadists in the Sinai were able to penetrate airport security to target the Russian plane and there is a belief that Islamic State's affiliate in Sinai may have been able to bribe an airport employee.
But the senior Egyptian official said that foreign airliners at Sharm el-Sheikh airport were never boarded by Egyptian personnel unless requested by the airline. He said that before the crash only 20%-30% of airport employees were searched but that figure had now been raised to 100%, with workers being screened both on entry and exit.
Cars were being stopped half a mile from the terminal and checked for any explosive traces, he said, and planes on the runway were being guarded around the clock by a cordon of Egyptian military and security personnel. Egypt is willing to pay any price to prevent this happening again, said the official.
"The picture is getting grimmer, we don't know what to do," a receptionist in one of Sharm el-Sheikh's luxurious hotels told me.
The resort is one of Egypt's main tourist hubs and it had been preparing for a busy season. At this time of year, this beautiful spot is usually bustling with tourists who come to enjoy the warm sun and the lovely beaches. But now everything has changed.
Tourism accounts for nearly 13% of Egypt's GDP - about £24 billion ($36bn) - and provides nearly 12% of the country's jobs. An exodus of British and Russian tourists from Sharm el-Sheikh will leave many Egyptians wondering about their future.
Most of the holidaymakers who visit the Egypt every year come from Russia and the UK, many of them to stay in Sharm el-Sheikh. But not any more. Flights have been suspended to this coastal city and all the remaining tourists are getting out.
As I walk around, many of the restaurants and cafes overlooking the Red Sea are all but empty. "We pay rents, electricity, taxes and salaries," a restaurant owner tells me. "If we don't have enough tourists, how can we cover all these expenses?"
After the crash, it is hard to tell if the industry will recover any time soon.
Even as funerals take place and stranded tourists wonder how long it will take them to get home, the wider ramifications are still sinking in. And they are enormous.
If it emerges, as many now suspect, that Islamic State militants planted a bomb on board the Russian plane, it opens a whole new front in the growing international campaign against the jihadist group.
Officials will need to know where those responsible acquired the know how to carry out such an attack. Was it conceived, planned and executed entirely within the lawless boundaries of the Sinai Peninsula, or did it draw on expertise from elsewhere?
IS has never brought down a plane before, so some are wondering whether the group reached out to its arch rival, al-Qaeda. If so, this would represent another troubling development.
For all the criticism surrounding last week's sudden British decision to suspend flights, the fact that both the Russians and the Egyptians now appear to agree that terrorism was the most likely cause could inject a degree of common purpose into the international community's fractured efforts to confront IS.
But intelligence sharing is a sensitive business. The British government was criticised by Russian and Egyptian officials for not sharing its information or explaining its actions, causing considerable tension between London and Cairo.
Intelligence agencies are extremely reluctant to share what they know, for fear of divulging sensitive sources and methods, or when the vital information comes from another agency. Reports that British officials were provided with Israeli intelligence intercepts may help to explain why London was so tight-lipped.
For thousands of Russians, being forced to return baggage-free from their Egyptian holiday will leave the unmistakable impression that terrorism was behind the death of more than 200 of their compatriots the previous week.
Yet, at home, government officials insist that all explanations for the Sinai crash are still on the table. Having an airliner blown out of the sky in revenge for Moscow's air campaign against the Islamic State poses uncomfortable question for Vladimir Putin - have Russian authorities calculated the wider risks of sending its planes on bombing missions in a region so unstable and so loved by millions of Russian tourists?
But public opinion in Russia is very pliable and responds well to the line taken by state-sponsored TV. Government channels continue to trumpet Russian air force successes in Syria and stress the importance of fighting Islamic extremism, even miles away from Russian shores. There is little concern over the complete lack of public or parliamentary discussion.
If air crash investigators conclude that the Metrojet plane was indeed brought down by a bomb, it as quite possible the atrocity will be used as an argument for stepping up, rather than limiting, Russia's campaign in Syria.
We're all used to the liquids ban on planes, and you've probably had to take your shoes off before going through security. Both restrictions came about because of attack plots on airliners.
So the big question now is: If this was a terror attack, will we see yet more rules put in place at airport security? And will it mean even longer queues?
It all depends on whether this was a bomb and if it was, how they managed to get it on board. Already, there has been a lot of focus on the security screening at Sharm el-Sheikh airport, or the possible lack of it.
But as one expert, Philip Baum, pointed out, when screening at US airports was probed recently, in 67 out of 70 tests inspectors managed to smuggle things through, including dummy explosive devices.
There is also the chance that an airport worker may have helped, but that could be hard to prove. There are plenty of countries where staff are badly paid and corruption is rife. You can screen staff but not all attacks are carried out by people with a previous record.
And what about the other things carried onto planes? Meals for example. Do you then try to screen the staff in the food companies?
The UK's foreign secretary has suggested that if this crash was down to a bomb, the government will look again at airport security in countries where Islamic State is active. That could include Turkey, for example. But it's too early to say whether all this will translate into yet more layers of airport security, and therefore longer queues, around the world.

On Tuesday, for the first time, Mrs Clinton directly apologised for her decision to exclusively use private email for her official government duties.
"That was a mistake," she said during an ABC News interview. "I'm sorry about that. I take responsibility."
The admission is in stark contrast to Mrs Clinton's insistence when the story broke in March that she had nothing to apologise for and that her actions were within the boundaries of the law, no different - in manner if not extent - to those of her predecessors in office.
While she stands by the view of the legality of her actions, she now acknowledges the toll the story has taken on her political standing, as her public approval ratings have sagged.
"I do think I could have and should have done a better job answering questions earlier," she said. "What I had done was allowed, it was above board. But in retrospect, as I look back at it now, even though it was allowed, I should have used two accounts. One for personal, one for work-related emails."
She also posted a message on Facebook to her supporters reiterating those sentiments.
"I wanted you to hear this directly from me," she wrote.
For months Mrs Clinton had insisted in the propriety of her email activities, despite the occasionally embarrassing details contained in the thousands of publicly released messages she provided to the State Department and the revelation that some of her communications contained information that has since been labelled classified.
In an August speech in Iowa, Mrs Clinton even joked about the matter, telling a Democratic audience that she liked Snapchat messaging because the service's texts "disappear all by themselves".
Later that month, however, she acknowledged that Americans may have questions about her email set-up and that it would have been better to rely on government systems for work-related messages.
Then, last Friday - in comments that would presage Tuesday's round of contrition - Mrs Clinton told an NBC interviewer that she was sorry for the "confusion" the story created and that the email setup "wasn't the best choice".
According to the New York Times, the Clinton campaign had recently conducted a focus group in the key early primary state of New Hampshire on Mrs Clinton's email-related comments. The results reportedly indicated that the issue "was drowning out nearly everything else that Mrs Clinton was hoping to communicate to voters" and that the former secretary of state must take more steps to address the controversy.
Mrs Clinton now plans to "address the email controversy more openly, and with a tone of humility rather than defensiveness".
This will likely do little to quell Mrs Clinton's critics, who insist that the Democrat's email setup jeopardised national security and flouted freedom of information laws.
"By any objective measure, the Democratic presidential front-runner has responded to her email scandal with deflection and deception, shredding her credibility while giving a sceptical public another reason not to trust the institutions of politics and government," writes the National Journal's Ron Fournier. "An apology doesn't fix that."
Mrs Clinton's change of tactics could be part of what's being billed as a larger strategy on the part of her campaign to have the candidate show more humour and heart, reports the Times, and "bring spontaneity to a candidacy that sometimes seems wooden and overly cautious".
This kind of talk is often a flashing red warning light of a campaign in a nosedive. Although the tenor of Mrs Clinton's media coverage and the trajectory of her poll numbers should be of concern for the candidate, it's important to keep in mind that the fundamentals of the race for the Democratic nomination still weigh heavily in her favour.
She still has a powerful fundraising apparatus to finance her campaign. The Democratic Party establishment is, by and large, in her corner. And rank-and-file Democratic voters continue to view her positively on the whole.
Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, with his unvarnished populist appeal, has cut into her support in early voting states and even pulled ahead in numerous recent New Hampshire polls, but his ability to wage an effective campaign in the later states is in doubt.
Vice-President Joe Biden continues to drop hints that he's considering entering the fray if, in his words, he can devote his "whole heart" and "whole soul" to the race.
"The honest-to-God answer is I just don't know," Mr Biden told a Florida audience last week.
Even if he does launch a bid, there's no guarantee he would be able to beat the former first lady - and, in fact, the presence of a high-profile opponent could help Mrs Clinton dispel the damaging notion that her presidential bid is nothing more than a pre-ordained coronation.
Unlike the Republican race, where time is short for candidates jockeying for poll position and financial support, it's still early in the game for a dominant front-runner like Mrs Clinton.
Despite the signs of doubt and seeds of panic, time - for now - is on her side.
Tana Shane saw Jesus Deniz stranded without fuel on the side of the road on Wednesday near her home.
But when she returned to help with her husband and daughter, Mr Deniz robbed and shot them, killing the couple and wounding their daughter, police said.
Mr Deniz shot them after the daughter laughed at him, police said.
Mr Deniz fled in the Shanes' car, but he was apprehended in Meeteetse, Wyoming, about 120 miles (190 km) away from Pryor, the small town on the Crow Indian Reservation where the shooting took place.
He is expected to be returned to Montana for a court appearance on Friday.
The daughter, 26-year-old Jorah Shane, underwent surgery on Wednesday to remove a bullet from her spine, but she is expected to survive.
"He's only 18, and he looked like an innocent boy," said Ada Shane, a relative of the victims. "Both my brother and sister-in-law have big hearts."
The 39-year-old woman suffered head injuries in the fall in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, last April.
Swindon Magistrates' Court heard she stepped on to a wooden board placed over the well which gave way.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found Strakers had been warned about the well and the board being unsafe.
The woman suffered concussion in the fall, and was submerged in water in the well for an hour before being rescued.
The court heard she also suffered post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the fall.
Insp Matthew Tyler said it could have "easily become a fatal tragedy".
He added: "If, when warned of the unsafe well, the company had properly checked to see if it was secure the trauma this individual has gone through could have been prevented."
Bosses at Strakers, which is based in Market Place, Devizes, pleaded guilty to breaching section 3 (1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and were fined £200,000 and ordered to pay costs of £2,474.
Antony Bulley, Strakers managing director, said directors and staff had been "deeply distressed" by the incident.
"We wish to make it known that Strakers have carried out extensive internal investigations and have fully cooperated with the Health and Safety Executive throughout culminating in a plea of guilty at the earliest opportunity presented."
He added that the company's aim is "to ensure that everything possible is done to avoid any similar incident occurring in the future to any member of the public or our staff".
The call came after Ukraine jailed two alleged Russian special forces soldiers for several crimes including terrorism.
Yevgeny Yerofeyev and Alexander Alexandrov are accused of involvement in Ukraine's conflict with pro-Russian rebels in the east.
A Russian court jailed Ukrainian Nadiya Savchenko for 22 years in March.
She was captured by eastern separatists in 2015 and accused of directing artillery fire that killed two Russian journalists.
Relations between Russia and Ukraine badly deteriorated following Moscow's annexation of the Crimea peninsula in 2014 and its alleged support for pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko on Monday night, the Kremlin said.
During the phone call, the pair agreed Savchenko would be allowed a consular visit "in the very near future", according to a statement.
Her trial caused an international outcry and her lawyers have said her condition has deteriorated after she started a hunger strike in protest against her treatment.
On Monday a court in Kiev found Yerofeyev and Alexandrov guilty of waging an "aggressive war" against Ukraine, committing a terrorist act and using weapons to provoke an armed conflict.
They were sentenced to 14 years in jail.
Russia has always denied sending troops to eastern Ukraine and said the men were volunteers who had left active service.
Mr Poroshenko has previously proposed swapping the two Russian men for Savchenko.
Fernando Suarez, who heads the King Juan Carlos University in Madrid, is accused of repeatedly copying other people's work without giving credit.
On Thursday, he was removed from his chairmanship on a national education commission.
Mr Suarez has said he is the victim of defamation and harassment.
The permanent commission of the conference of Spanish university chancellors said on Thursday that Mr Suarez was leaving due to "information published about presumed plagiarism".
He has been accused of copying other historians' work and that of his students, over a period of up to 10 years.
One article published under his name was said to consist of 70% copied-and-pasted words from another person's book.
The French historian Bernard Vincent told the AFP news agency Mr Suarez had borrowed paragraphs from his work, describing it as "scandalous".
He said: "I'm absolutely indignant."
Last month, the university Mr Suarez heads had informed students that the campus had installed a system called Unplag to monitor submitted assignments for plagiarism.
An email sent to 40,000 students stated that the new programme would help uphold standards of integrity, academic honesty and independent thinking.
Students have set up at least nine separate petitions calling for Mr Suarez to resign from the top job at the university. Together they have collected tens of thousands of signatures.
One pointed out: "Plagiarism is grounds for any student to be suspended immediately."
At the end of July the Team Sky rider, 30, became the first Briton to win the Tour twice.
In Spain he will attempt to become only the 10th cyclist to win two Grand Tours in one season.
He joins Nairo Quintana of Colombia and Italian Vincenzo Nibali in a strong Vuelta field.
Quintana finished second behind Froome in Paris this year and Nibali was the Tour champion in 2014.
American racer Tejay van Garderen will also compete.
The race starts in Puerto Banus on Saturday, 22 August and finishes three weeks later in Madrid on 13 September.
A Grand Tour refers to one of the three major European professional cycling stage races - the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana.
The last man to win two in a season was Spaniard Alberto Contador, who won the Giro and Vuelta in 2008.
Only French pair Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault have ever won both the Tour and the Vuelta.
The latter consists of 21 day-long stages, over a 23-day period that includes two rest days and covers more than 3,000 kilometres.

After a thrilling second-Test win last weekend, the Lions will start the third and final meeting as underdogs.
New Zealand have not lost consecutive home matches since 1998 and have not been beaten at Eden Park in 23 years.
But Lions captain Sam Warburton has "unfinished business" in the decider.
The Welsh flanker, 28, missed the series-clinching third Test win over Australia in 2013 with a hamstring injury and has been beset by injuries in recent years.
He missed six weeks at the end of the domestic season with a knee injury, and suffered a fractured cheekbone in October 2016. He was also on the bench for the first Test after suffering an ankle knock.
"It feels like all the sacrifice over the past four years and all the little things I have done have come to this moment," Warburton told BBC Sport.
The Lions were easily beaten 30-15 in the first Test, but claimed a 24-21 victory in the second after the hosts played 55 minutes with 14 men following the sending-off of Sonny Bill Williams.
Now they go into the decider knowing they can achieve a first series win in New Zealand since 1971.
Assistant coach Rob Howley spoke of the "glint in the eyes" of the Lions players since that Wellington win and, although fly-half Johnny Sexton said he "struggles to enjoy it sometimes with the nerves", he acknowledged that he and his team-mates "have to cherish" a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Head coach Warren Gatland has spoken of the Lions "achieving something special" and "creating a legacy", but his counterpart Steve Hansen has attempted to play down the importance.
"Is the series hugely significant? Of course it is. Will it define this team? No, because there is a heck of a lot more of this story to be written," said former police officer Hansen.
"We are expected to win every Test match, and win well. But we are only playing a rugby game. Real pressure is when you've got to spend half an hour giving someone CPR and trying to save their life."

Going into the second Test, the All Blacks appeared settled and confident, while it was Gatland and the Lions who were experimenting with selection.
A week later and Gatland has named an unchanged 23, while Hansen has drafted in two rookies in the back line, Ngani Laumape and Jordie Barrett, to deal with a minor injury crisis.
The series started with New Zealand fielding the likes of Sonny Bill Williams, Ryan Crotty and Ben Smith; it finishes with Hansen gambling on youth.
However the forward pack are still bursting with experience, with skipper Kieran Read becoming only the seventh man to win 100 All Blacks caps.
As for the Lions, Howley has spoken of their big-game players, with nine of the 23 featuring in the victorious third Test against Australia four years ago.
The captain that day was Alun Wyn Jones, who on Saturday plays in his ninth consecutive Lions Test, a longer run than anyone else in the professional era.
Wing Anthony Watson is fit to take his place in the side. This is despite being on the receiving end of a shoulder to the head from Williams that earned the New Zealand centre a red card and left the Bath man requiring assessment.
"I remember everything," said Watson. "I had to brace myself for it, I guess, but it's part and parcel of the game.
"He messaged me on Twitter to say there was no intention, and I don't doubt that."
BBC Radio 5 live rugby union reporter Chris Jones
While All Blacks assistant coach Wayne Smith says his side "do a lot of work" on the opposition before big games, the Lions management insist the tourists have been solely focusing on themselves.
"We haven't even spoken about them," said Gatland on Thursday.
Either way, the tactical battle between the two sets of coaches will be fascinating.
Hansen et al took the Lions by surprise with their forward-orientated style in Auckland while, despite preconceptions, it's the Lions who have played a more expansive game across the Tests, outscoring the All Blacks by two tries to none in Wellington, albeit with a man advantage.
But would this series be wrapped up already if Williams had stayed on the field at the Westpac? Or have the Lions developed an all-round gameplan to shock the All Blacks?
These questions will be answered come Saturday evening.
Lions head coach Warren Gatland: "They have the chance to do something special. You have those moments in your life and you don't want those moments to pass you by."
Lions captain Sam Warburton: "I can't imagine any team has better support than the Lions do."
All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen: "We could win, lose or draw, but we will be a better team for it."

"Eve" was discovered at Must Farm quarry at Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, and donated to the museum last year.
The museum was awarded £90,000 from the DCMS/Wolfson Museums and Galleries Improvement Fund to display the specimen alongside another plesiosaur.
Director Prof Paul Smith said it would "reinvigorate" the museum.
Eve will be displayed with a short-necked plesiosaur discovered near Oxford in the 1990s in new cases, and with new artwork and digital content.
"The exhibit will present a picture of central England 165 million years ago: submerged 50 metres underwater in a warm, shallow sea, teeming with animals that are now long-extinct," a spokesman said.
Mr Smith said it would "conserve and exhibit two internationally-significant fossil marine reptiles".
The museum is currently looking for matched funding to complete the project.

The African Cup of Nations is upon us - and it has a new host after Morocco backed out because of fears over Ebola, with barely two months to go before the January kick-off.
Africa's flagship football tournament will now be held in Equatorial Guinea, which has only ever competed in one Nations Cup before, when it was co-hosting with Gabon.
The latest series of qualifying matches produced some fascinating encounters - Malawi beat Mali 2-0 at the Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre but puzzlingly forgot to press their advantage over one of Africa's football superpowers by failing to win their final match against the Ethiopians in Addis Ababa.
Senegal's bad-tempered encounter with the Egyptians in Cairo resulted in a Senegalese victory in one of the toughest arenas for visiting teams.
Among the players, it was a physical affair, as expected. Beyond the sidelines, the Egyptian crowd got away with the most unsporting behaviour - using smoke bombs and flares, and shining distracting laser lights into opposition players' eyes as they took free kicks and corners.
Even as Senegal triumphed, it felt as if Egypt, holders of seven continental titles, were struggling to recapture their reputation for ruthless efficiency by arguing with the referee at every opportunity.
It was no surprise then to see them capitulate 2-1 to Tunisia on the final match day and miss out on Equatorial Guinea 2015.
But perhaps the shock of the final match day was provided by the Super Eagles.
Nigeria, current champions of Africa, gave up their crown in the new showcase Arena of Uyo with barely a whimper to a hungry and determined South Africa.
Much was made by Nigerian pundits of the fact that South Africa had yet to beat the Super Eagles but Bafana Bafana have a new spine under coach Shakes Mashaba that saw them gain three wins and three draws and top spot in their group.
Nigeria were forced to rely on results elsewhere after a bad run of form and trouble with misfiring strikers.
Despite a 2-2 draw with South Africa, Congo's 1-0 victory over Sudan left the Super Eagles in the humiliating position of third in their group, facing the barely believable prospect of not being present in Equatorial Guinea to defend their crown.
For football fans, it's been a fortnight of great excitement, putting to bed our anxiety over Rabat's abandonment of the Africa Cup of Nations.
For South Africa, which recently experienced the shocking death of captain and goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa in an incident of gun violence, this was a cleansing of sorts.
Cup of Nations contenders:
Equatorial Guinea (hosts), Algeria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Congo, DR Congo, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Mali, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia and Zambia
2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying
Perhaps their fans can have some hope that through their football stars, the nation can be redeemed and have something to look forward to instead of the constant bickering of politicians and their failure to confront the country's problems.
Of course, sport, and football in particular, can do that to a nation.
There is no denying the overwhelming jubilation in Ouagadougou after the ousting of Burkina Faso's long-serving ruler Blaise Compaore last month, though the military's role in an interim administration has caused some tension.
Lt Col Isaac Zida, now prime minister, was quick to seize a footballing boost by giving out free tickets for people to watch the Stallions qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations after Jonathan Pitropia equalised against Angola, allowing the post-Campaore age to begin with Burkina Faso finishing second on 11 points behind Gabon on 12.
It is easy to watch the football stories and see them as allegorical depictions of the politics on the ground, but the Confederation of African Football has on more than one occasion been a hostage to fate.
Only a few years ago, Togo pulled out of a tournament when Angolan gunmen opened fire on their bus, and the Moroccans refusal to play ball as hosts over Ebola forced the confederation's hand in choosing Equatorial Guinea.
And the next tournament, meant to be in Libya in 2017, is currently without a host because the Libyans withdrew "over security and organisational concerns" - we all know what has been going on there since the departure of a certain colonel.
But the show must go on. And so oil-rich Equatorial Guinea, who have only ever competed in one Nations Cup, find themselves more than happy to play the hosts yet again.
Dig deeper and you will see that back in May Equatorial Guinea had been kicked out of the 2015 competition for fielding a Cameroonian player. And in June it was being whispered and alleged that they had naturalised up to nine Brazilians.
Equatorial Guinea's oil money, once attractive to reckless mercenaries intent on a coup, could easily purchase football talent and pay for this emergency Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
The other Guinea, at the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak, defeated Uganda and Togo in their final qualifiers to make it to the finals and raise the flag for their beleaguered nation. They actually played their qualifying matches in the Moroccan city of Casablanca, only for Morocco to abandon the Cup after that act of selfless brotherhood.
The Cup, come January, will as always be full of such sweet confusions.

The Oscar winner will play a brand new character in the as-yet untitled film, set several decades after the original story, Alcon Entertainment said.
Harrison Ford, who played police officer Rick Deckard in the 1982 cult movie, will be reprising the role.
Ryan Gosling also stars in the sequel which will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, whose films include Sicario and Prisoners.
Villeneuve has described the new film - released in October 2017 - as an "extension" of the original.
Leto was seen recently in cinemas in Suicide Squad, in which he played The Joker.
Details of his Blade Runner character are yet to be revealed.
The cast also includes Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Carla Juri, Mackenzie Davis, Barkhad Abdi and Dave Bautista.
Ridley Scott's original - set in 2019 - saw Deckard hunting lifelike robots, known as replicants, in a futuristic Los Angeles.
It was based on Philip K Dick's novel Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?.

The fire at M & R Commercials in Felinfach Industrial Estate, Fforestfach, started at about 06:00 BST on Monday.
Residents are being told to keep doors and windows shut and to keep away from the immediate vicinity of the incident.
Trains between Swansea and Llanelli on the south Wales mainline are disrupted.
Mid and West Wales Fire Service have established an incident command unit at the scene and say there are 10 major pumping vehicles and special appliances at the scene.
A spokesman said they had made "significant progress" in controlling the fire, but crews would remain on site for the rest of the day "dampening down and liaising with partners on returning the site to normal operation".
He said there was no current risk to local residents or commercial premises, and police were continuing to maintain cordons for the duration of the incident.
The main railway line has been reopened but passengers could face residual delays.
An Arriva Trains Wales spokesman said: "Trains are proceeding at caution, however, disruption may last some time with the knock on effect this has had on services."
Natural Resources Wales will investigate the incident and advised M & R Commercials to "further reduce the impact of the fire".
"Our operational team have installed booms to reduce the impact of contaminated water entering the Fforestfach Stream," Jonathan Jones, NRW lead for the incident, said.
"Our air quality expert is working with Public Health Wales and the local authority to manage the risks to air quality.
"We are investigating and advising to protect the environment and the local community from pollution caused by the fire."
Roads around the industrial estate are also closed and South Wales Police is advising people to avoid the area.
The total beat the 260 set by Sri Lanka against Kenya in 2007.
All-rounder Glenn Maxwell hit 145 not out from just 65 balls.
Sri Lanka - who had won the toss and elected to bowl first - could only manage 178-9 in reply as Australia won the first game of the two-match series by 85 runs.
Maxwell, who opened the batting, hit nine sixes and 14 fours in his innings - the second-highest in international T20 cricket.
"At the top of the order you have a little bit more freedom to get yourself into the game and play pretty normal shots without taking too many risks," Maxwell said.
Australia team-mate Aaron Finch holds the individual record score of 156, which came against England in 2013.
However, 27-year-old Maxwell was only playing as an opener after Finch broke a finger during the recent one-day series against Sri Lanka.
"Batting at the top is somewhere I would love to bat, but most of the teams I play in the opportunities just aren't there," Maxwell said.
Australia's T20 record comes just eight days after England set a new record score in one day international cricket, making 444 against Pakistan - which also beat a record previously held by Sri Lanka.

Owner Yorkshire Water has been looking for someone to tend to Humberstone Bank Farm, near Blubberhouses, after the previous tenant retired.
Along with the land, Jonathan Grayshon will maintain a cottage, several barns and about 400 ewes.
Mr Grayshon, from Dacre in Nidderdale, said: "Like a lot of young farmers trying to get on the farming ladder it is difficult to get hold of any land, and almost impossible within a ring fence or near where you live.
"Getting my own farm will be like living the dream."
Yorkshire Water said the new tenant will need to focus on "sustainable farming that protects water quality, wildlife biodiversity, peatland and carbon storage".
The twelfth and final book in the series is called "How to Fight A Dragon's Fury" and features the final battle between dragons and humans.
You've been sending in your brilliant questions for Cressida and we asked her who her favourite character from the series was, and if she is working on any new books.
She also showed Jenny how to draw the mischievous main characters from her series: Hiccup and Toothless.
There are lots of different species of dragon in Cressida's books, so we thought we'd find out what Newsround would be like.
As well as offering advice on writing, Cressida also explained the best way to illustrate your ideas.
"Look," he said, his excitement rising, "Look at the grill work, look at the brass lamps!"
Swiping one image after the next on his ipad, Kumar rummaged through a series of shots of art deco buildings in the western city of Mumbai; buildings he has known and loved for years.
Now he is trying to bring them to the wider attention of the public, and put the city's art deco heritage in a definitive way on the global map.
In December last year, a small team assembled by Mr Kumar began working on documenting exactly how many art deco buildings there are in the city.
Urban legend has it that there are at least 200, and anecdotally, Mumbai is believed to have the second highest number of art deco buildings after Miami.
"But we wanted to get a sense of the actual number," said Mr Kumar, a finance professional by day. "Mumbai has been living in the shadow of Miami and in the shadow of its Gothic heritage. We wanted to get it out of the shadow of both."
The city is best known for its triumphant 19th Century buildings like the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station, the Bombay High Court, and the municipal headquarters. So its later structures have remained relatively less celebrated.
With his passion project Art Deco Mumbai - a documentation endeavour, social media effort and soon-to-be-launched web repository - Mr Kumar is hoping to change that.
He first began last year with online efforts to popularise art deco, posting images of individual stylistic features such as curving balconies, swirling grillwork and zigzagging facade patterns of buildings on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
That initiative has since grown into a full-time project that aims to document every art deco building in the city.
The team first chalked Mumbai up into zones, then sub-sections and then individual blocks, and have now completed the first phase by mapping the southern-most Colaba precinct.
Of the area's 367 buildings, they have zeroed in on 55 deco buildings. Each has been photographed extensively and profiled by element.
"It was born out of a desire to reach out to a wider audience," said Mr Kumar, "To put it on the map, to get more people to appreciate it. Where is Mumbai on the art deco map?"
Art deco as a style swept through the world beginning in the 1920s and flourished in Mumbai - then Bombay - between the 1930s and 1950s when a rash of such buildings sprung up in the burgeoning southern part of the city.
Cinema theatres such as Regal, Liberty and Eros are some of the best known iterations of this style, with their geometric designs and spiky ziggurats.
The sea-facing Marine Drive promenade is also a cornucopia of deco - and has 35 residential buildings boasting splendid cylindrical balconies, window ledges, or "eyebrows" and that bold, distinctive deco type face.
The area is also part of the precinct named in the "Victorian and Art Deco ensemble", a central government nomination as a Unesco World Heritage site.
The sea-facing Marine Drive's buildings though, are relatively well known.
Mr Kumar and his team next plan to do field work in the Fort area or further north towards Peddar Road and Carmichael Road - expensive addresses whose deco buildings are barely registered in public memory.
Even further north in Dadar and Matunga, Mr Kumar expects to find many more buildings. He estimates that a decisive count will take another year.
"It's more than a hobby, it's a commitment," he said. "It's what I want to do for the city."
Art Deco Mumbai has been entirely backed by him till now and will launch its website this month, an online database that will feature tales of the buildings documented so far, pictures, research papers and conservation stories from around the world.
"We hope it will be two-fold," said Mr Kumar. "For both the curious, uninitiated explorer, as well as for the more serious academic or student."
The record of preserving these buildings has been mixed - in the southern part of the city they have been better maintained, and protected thanks to a 2015 state government notification that prohibits unauthorised changes.
But some have been damaged or altered in the preceding years. With Art Deco Mumbai, the intention is to highlight and help recognise the value of these structures.
"Art deco was a crucial point as the first expression of a modern Indian architectural style," said Prathyaksha Krishna Prasad, head of research and content of Art Deco Mumbai.
"Documentation is a step towards preservation. Heritage is not just ours, but is something to be passed on from one generation to another."
Sirens were sounded at the same moment as the first explosion at the reactor, in the early hours of 26 April 1986.
The meltdown at the plant remains the worst nuclear disaster in history.
An uncontrolled reaction blew the roof off, spewing out a cloud of radioactive material which drifted across Ukraine's borders, into Russia, Belarus and across a swathe of northern Europe.
The relatives of those who died attended candle-lit vigils at several churches, including at Slavutych, a town built to re-house workers who lived near the nuclear plant. A series of events are being held throughout the day.
Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko attended a ceremony in Kiev, and laid a wreath at a memorial to the victims of the disaster before observing a minute's silence.
He is heading north to the site of the plant itself, not far from the border with Belarus, for a ceremony there.
Vasyl Markin, who had been working in Chernobyl at the time of the disaster, attended the service in Slavutych.
"This tragedy will stay with us till the end of our lives. I won't be able to forget it anyway," he said.
Some former residents returned to the area, now derelict and overgrown, ahead of the anniversary.
Zoya Perevozchenko, 66, lived in Pripyat, the town inhabited by Chernobyl workers which was abandoned in the wake of the accident.
She told Reuters news agency: "I barely found my apartment, I mean it's a forest now - trees growing through the pavement, on the roofs. All the rooms are empty, the glass is gone from the windows and everything's destroyed.
Levels of radioactivity remain high in the surrounding area. A charity, Bridges to Belarus, is warning that a number of babies in a region close to Ukraine's border are still being born with serious deformities, while an unusually high rate of people have rare forms of cancer.
Donors around the world pledged €87.5m (£68m; $99m) on Monday towards a new underground nuclear waste facility in the region. Ukraine will need to commit a further €10m in order to complete the new storage site.
Work began in 2010 on a 25,000-tonne, €2.1bn sarcophagus to seal the uranium left in the damaged reactor, thought to be about 200 tonnes.
Experts fear that if parts of the aging reactor collapse, further radioactive material could be spewed into the atmosphere.
The number of people killed by the disaster remains disputed. A report in 2005 by the UN-backed Chernobyl Forum concluded that fewer than 50 people died as a result of exposure to radiation, most of them workers killed immediately after the disaster, but some survived until as late as 2004.
The forum estimated up to 9,000 people could eventually die from radiation exposure, although Greenpeace claims the figure could be as high as 93,000.
In a statement, the Farc says "incidents which led to the distancing between the groups" have been overcome.
The development comes as Farc leaders resume peace negotiations with the Colombian government in Cuba.
They are discussing how Farc could enter politics if a deal is reached to end five decades of conflict.
According to the Farc statement, the meeting with the ELN (National Liberation Army) at an undisclosed location discussed the need to "work for the unity of all political and social forces" involved in changing the country.
The two groups have clashed in the past but have recently joined forces in armed operations against government targets in Colombia.
The ELN - Colombia's second largest group - is not part of the peace talks in Cuba.
But its leaders have made clear they would like to participate.
Talks between the Colombian government and the Farc resumed in Havana on Monday on the second key issue on the peace agenda: how to bring the rebel group into the political process after a future peace deal.
Q&A: Colombia peace talks
They reached an agreement on land reform late in May.
Farc leaders want general elections be put back a year, to 2015, to allow for a constituent assembly to draw up Colombia's political future.
But the government has warned it will only discuss the previously agreed agenda.
"The political participation discussion is only over these issues. This is what the government is ready to discuss and nothing else," Colombia's chief negotiator, Humberto de la Calle said.
Landmark peace negotiations have been going on in Cuba for more than six months.
The Farc is thought to have some 8,000 fighters, down from about 16,000 in 2001, while the government says the ELN has fewer than 1,500 men.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed since the conflict began in the 1960s, with some three million more internally displaced by the fighting.
Helped by a wind advantage, Cavan led 1-8 to 0-7 at the break with Gearoid McKiernan netting on 34 minutes.
However, Aidan McCrory's subduing of Martin Reilly in the second half and Mark Bradley's introduction helped turn the game Tyrone's way.
Tyrone levelled by the 48th minute as they went on to hit the last 10 scores.
After his side's encouraging first-half display as Reilly hit three outstanding points from play, Cavan manager Mattie McGleenan will surely be concerned by a second-half fade-out which leaves the Breffni County remaining in a relegation spot.
Cavan pulled men behind the ball in the first half and then broke at pace following turnovers as Tyrone struggled for fluency.
Points from McKiernan and Dara McVeety gave the visitors a two-point lead by the ninth minute and while two Sean Cavanagh frees helped edge the Red Hands ahead, Cavan led again at 0-4 to 0-3 thanks to Reilly's first score.
Cavan led by the minimum on three occasions over the following 10 minutes, only to be pegged back each time, before McKiernan's 1-1 late in the half left four between the teams at the break.
After Cavanagh and Kieran McGeary points halved the margin, Conor Madden replied on 42 minutes but that proved to be Cavan's last score as Bradley - introduced following half-time substitute Ronan McNamee's black card - began to make a big impact in the Red Hand attack.
After a Darren McCurry score levelled the game, Bradley's second point edged Tyrone ahead and with Cavanagh's move from full-forward to midfield also benefiting the Red Hands, Cavan faded rather alarmingly in the closing stages.
McCurry's black card briefly Tyrone's momentum as tempers, not for the first time during the game, began to fray but Tiernan McCann's 60th-minute score ended a nine-minute scoreless period.
Keeper Niall Morgan was among Tyrone's late scorers as Bradley brought up his tally to 0-3 with substitute Ronan O'Neill hitting the final two points.
Tyrone's win moves them a point ahead of Dublin while Cavan remain three points from safety with their closing games against Mayo [away], Kerry [home] and Roscommon [away] to come.

NFU Scotland carried out the checks at Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Marks and Spencer stores.
President Nigel Miller said sheep farmers needed a "confidence boost" that their product was "valued".
He said a "retailer commitment" to Scots lamb could help drive an improvement in the industry's fortunes.
The union said it was a "hugely challenging" for sheep farmers with sales slow in autumn and no pre-Christmas rise in prices.
It has been carrying out regular checks on supermarket commitment to home produced lamb over the past six months.
It found Morrisons had continued to stock only Scottish or British lamb.
The union also highlighted branding efforts by Marks and Spencer and Sainsbury's.
However, it criticised Tesco and Asda, which it said had "some Scottish or British produce" but still had "substantial quantities of New Zealand and Australia lamb".

Mr Miller said: "This is a time when sheep farmers need a confidence boost from their major customers - the UK supermarkets - with a clear signal that their product is wanted and valued.
"Morrisons show what can be achieved with 100% commitment to Scottish or British produce in the stores we visited, with packs of lamb being sold at shop shelf prices that are comparable to its competitors.
"That contrasts starkly with the volume of New Zealand and Australian lamb that has stubbornly remained on the shelves of Tesco and Asda even during our peak marketing season in Scotland, when our lamb is at its freshest and tastiest."
He said there was a "genuine opportunity" for supermarkets to increase their stocks of Scots lamb.
"With lambing only a few months away, that would send out a positive signal to producers and help lift some of the gloom generated by one of the more difficult seasons on record," he said.
A Tesco spokesman defended the company's policy on which lamb it stocks.
"We are committed to offering our customers the best local and regional produce Scotland has to offer," he said.
"That includes stocking 100% Scotch lamb in our Finest range in our Scottish stores, from June to December, when Scotch lamb is in season and using Scotch lamb year-round for our core Tesco-branded lamb products."
A statement from Asda said: "We are committed to buying Scottish lamb wherever we can - in fact around 60% of our current range is from Scottish farms." | A toilet that uses human wee to generate electricity is being tested in Bristol, to see if the tech could power lights in refugee camps.

The event is the first in a new three-year partnership between the EIFF and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
It will take place on Saturday 24 June at the Usher Hall.
The full programme for the festival, which first ran 70 years ago, will not be released until May.
Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark was a massive global hit on its release in 1981.
It starred Harrison Ford as archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones, who is recruited by the US government to find the Ark of the Covenant.
John Williams' famous score for the film will be performed live by the RSNO during the festival screening.
EIFF artistic director Mark Adams said: "Indiana Jones is undoubtedly one of cinema's greatest heroes and it will be exciting to see this wonderful, rollercoaster adventure up on the big screen accompanied by the RSNO's orchestra."
RSNO chief executive Dr Krishna Thiagarajan said: "From the phenomenal success of our first EIFF performance two years ago with Back to the Future we knew we were on to something special.
"The RSNO has pedigree in the field of music for films, recording and performing numerous soundtracks over the years, and to lend our expertise to one of the world's notable celebrations of contemporary and classic cinema whilst broadening the audience for live orchestral music presents a most complementary cultural partnership."

Paddy Jackson, 25, and Stuart Olding, 24, have been accused of raping the same woman in Belfast in June 2016.
Both men deny the charges. Stuart Olding is charged with two counts of rape.
Paddy Jackson is charged with one count of rape and one count of sexual assault.
Neither player was in court during the short hearing at Belfast Magistrates' Court this morning.
The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) and Ulster Rugby have said Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding will not play again until the court process concludes.
Both men deny the charges against them.
Two other men have also been charged in connection with the same case.
Blane McIlroy 25, of Royal Lodge Road, Belfast is charged with one count of exposure, and Rory Harrison 25, of Manse Road, Belfast is charged with perverting the course of justice and withholding information.
Both deny the charges against them. Neither was present at the seven-minute hearing
The case will return to court on 6 September.
The hosts struck twice in the space of three minutes as Jack Baldwin steered in a Marcus Maddison corner before Tom Nichols produced a glorious finish from a Leo Da Silva Lopes pass.
Rochdale cut their arrears within 60 seconds through Joe Thompson, before Joe Rafferty became the first man to receive his marching orders, grabbing Maddison to earn a second yellow card.
The visitors were reduced to nine men eight minutes into the second half when Donal McDermott was given a straight red for jumping into a challenge on Baldwin.
Posh failed to make their numerical advantage count as Wilson made fine saves to deny Maddison and Brad Inman.
And Grant McCann's men were then reduced to 10 men themselves as skipper Baldwin collected a second caution for scything down Ian Henderson.
It was a dismissal which briefly gave the visitors a glimmer of hope, but Paul Taylor rifled in an Inman cross with five minutes to go.

Sue Gallagher found a note signed only as Jodi from a woman who wanted to know more about her father Victor Edwards.
"I didn't know I had an extra sister," said Mrs Gallagher who has left messages in reply to no avail.
"If it was me, I would want somebody to try and get that information to me. And for me it would be lovely to have another sister," she added.
Mrs Gallagher, who lives in Birmingham, visits her father's grave in West Ham, east London, twice a year.
He was only 37 when he died on Christmas day in 1965.
Mrs Gallagher said: "It was about two or three years ago I found the letter. I was surprised.
"It said the lady had found out this grave belonged to the man who she had found out was her father.
"And she wanted to know where she came from and more about him; please would somebody contact her. But the rain had washed her details away."
Mrs Gallagher, who worked in the international students' office at Birmingham University, left notes but has not received a reply.
She said: "My parents split up and my mother went off with another relationship, as did my father.
"My father had another two children with his new partner.
"A little girl called Pauline and a little boy called Victor. I later heard after his death, that they had a third child, that maybe they had adopted, which could be Jodi or not."
Some supermarkets are struggling to stock courgettes and spinach in particular, blaming empty shelves on bad weather in Spain and Italy.
The issue has even inspired its own hashtag on Twitter, with many shoppers taking to social media to vent their frustrations over the #courgettecrisis.
A combination of flooding, cold weather and poor light levels in southern Europe is said to have created the "perfect storm" of poor growing conditions.
During the winter months, Spain's south-eastern Murcia region supplies 80% of Europe's fresh produce. But after suffering its heaviest rainfall in 30 years, only 30% of Murcia's growing fields are useable.
This has coincided with a cold snap in Italy, which normally exports vegetables at this time of the year but is now having to import them.
The effects of shortages are particularly pronounced in Britain, which imports an estimated 50% of its vegetables and 90% of its fruit.
The Grocer magazine's fresh and chilled foods editor, Kevin White, told the BBC he could not recall the weather affecting supplies so severely.
Courgettes and spinach supplies have been severely affected by the cold weather.
Jordi Vorderman, UK sales manager at Dutch vegetable supplier Valstar Holland, said courgette prices were the worst affected, but that "the cost of everything imported from Spain and Italy is sky-high at the moment".
Philippe Binard, of Freshfel Europe which represents the fresh produce industry, said the problems afflicting vegetable production were unprecedented and had left the yield of courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes, broccoli and peppers from Spain down by about 25%.
Iceberg lettuces and cabbages have also been affected, with experts unsure where the shortages could fall next.
Fruit and vegetable wholesaler Nick Padley told BBC News that more than 90% of Europe's iceberg lettuce came from one small region in south-east Spain.
He said: "There's a gap of about six weeks on iceberg lettuce, nothing is coming from Spain for six to eight weeks. Our supplier is now going to be bringing in iceberg from America which is obviously costing more. It's a tough time."
BBC News spoke to traders at New Covent Garden fruit and vegetable market, who said they were struggling to meet demand and were planning to import produce from the US.
Michael Goodwin said: "I've been in this trade for 40-odd years and I've never known it so bad, where everything is so dear. I've got plenty of English parsnips, potatoes and carrots but foreign produce is like gold."
At New Covent Garden market, vegetable seller Mark Gregory said: "Whereas normally courgettes are £6 or £7 [a crate], they're now 20-22 quid and we're struggling to get them.
"We usually have a couple of pallets full of them, this morning we've got just 80 boxes."
He is awaiting delivery of a lorry load of courgettes which should have arrived on Wednesday but will not be in the UK until Friday.
Mr Vorderman said some supermarkets were not prepared to buy courgettes at such high prices and would rather leave their shelves empty.
Tessa Knowles, who goes to Italy each week buying fruit and vegetables for a wholesaler, said: "Prices have rocketed. The cold weather has devastated their crops out there. It's also affected the upcoming fruit on trees so we may still feel the longer-term effects."
Another trader, Tom Craig, said: "Because there's so little produce coming over, the prices have escalated out of control.
"It normally is a little bit more expensive in January because of the bad weather but this year is exceptionally bad. Aubergines are £20 [a crate], peppers are two or three pounds dearer than they are normally at this time of year so it's very hard."
Supermarkets can chase the sun to get seasonal produce all year round, but the rest of Europe will also be looking for new sources for their produce - all of which could push up prices even further.
Wholesalers have told the BBC they know of customers who have cleared supermarket shelves to try to supply restaurants and caterers.
Though customers have noticed some empty shelves, not all the supermarkets are reporting shortages.
Co-op said it was not experiencing any shortages, and Sainsbury's said it was working to maintain its courgette supply for customers.
Similarly, Lidl said: "We are working closely with our suppliers to maintain the supply of products affected by the weather conditions in Europe."
Tesco, whose website says courgettes are "not available", says the shortage is "short-term".
It added: "Due to bad weather conditions in Spain, we are experiencing a few availability issues, but are working with our suppliers to resolve them as quickly as possible."
A 3-0 home win against Burton on Saturday also produced a fourth successive clean sheet for the Royals.
"I know people get happy about results and want to go up as quickly as they can," Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire.
"But, there's still lots of games to be played. We're not looking at the table, we're looking from game to game."
Reading have not been third in the Championship for more than a year, but Stam is still searching for consistent performances.
"We're working very hard in training at getting results and thinking of certain plans for the opposition," he added.
"Up to now, it's going quite well, but during the season there's probably going to be a couple of games where it's going to be difficult and we'll have to deal with that too.
"I understand why people might question my approach, but we have to be realistic in what we bring to the game every time.
"We need to work hard to get results and everyone needs to be switched on and focused in that."
The 68-year-old was discovered in Fairisle Place in the Moray town at about midnight on Saturday.
Police said inquiries were ongoing to establish how he sustained his injuries. He was being treated in hospital.
He was described as white with a greying beard, about 5ft 4ins tall with a stocky build.
He was wearing a checked shirt, blue jeans and a dark hooded top.
Anyone who saw a male fitting this description in the area around this time has been urged to contact police.
However, it reawakens the debate about whether banned drugs should go on sale legally.
Not only could such a move potentially open up a huge commercial market, but it could also become a source of tax revenue.
But it is an extremely controversial issue and even in the Netherlands, which led the way with its cannabis cafes, the policy is now being questioned.
In the Netherlands, marijuana is not formally legal, but it can be sold in small quantities in licensed coffee shops.
In one such coffee shop, on a houseboat on the river Maas in the southern Dutch town of Maastricht, Stephan explains there are about 5,000 varieties of marijuana, or cannabis, in the world.
"We sell white rhino, silver haze, amnesia, lemon haze. We sell blue cheese and yeah, it makes you more stoned. It makes you a little bit sleepy," he says.
However, new laws in the south of the country prevent foreign tourists from visiting the coffee shops. Stephan says that in the six months since the law was introduced, his sales are down by 85%.
Marc Josemans, the president of the Maastricht association of coffee shop entrepreneurs, is leading a campaign to overturn the ban on foreigners in coffee shops.
"Here in the south, we have committed a form of tourism suicide," he says. "People are avoiding Maastricht because our own mayor calls our foreign visitors scum.
"Our mayor should not start kicking the guests who want to visit our beautiful town. We should be grateful that these people want to spend their money here," he says.
"You can never win a war against drugs, you can only control it by being realistic and pragmatic," he adds.
Mr Josemans has one question for the critics of licensed coffee shops.
"If your 18- or 19-year-old son or daughter wants to experiment by smoking a joint, would you prefer that they visit a street dealer where nobody gives any information?" he asks.
"Or do you want them to visit a controlled environment, where information and maybe even prevention is available. If, for example, they want to light up a second joint in 10 minutes, somebody from the staff will come up and say, 'Hey, isn't it better to slow down,'" he adds.
The results in Colorado and Washington, which already have laws legalising marijuana for medical purposes, put both states in conflict with the US federal government, which classifies cannabis as an illegal narcotic.
However, it might also create a tax bonanza from the income generated.
But do the economic benefits through taxation of drug sales make sense? And furthermore, if the Netherlands starts backtracking on drug liberalisation, how does that bode for the rest of the world?
Jeff Miron, at Harvard University in the US, argues that the Dutch stance is disappointing.
"The Netherlands has been at the forefront of liberalising drug policy," he says, while noting that the overall trend outside the US is for a reduced effort in prohibition, rather than more.
"While $44bn [£28bn] is spent annually in the US to try to keep drugs off the street, other countries are not spending large amounts on enforcing drug prohibition."
Mr Miron believes there is an economic argument for the liberalisation of drugs.
"The attempt to prohibit people from using these substances generates ancillary harm. Not only are there direct costs of enforcement, but there is a creation of an underground market, which has extra violence, corruption, and poor quality control that spills over to everyone else in society," he says.
He mentions that in many countries, it is not a high priority to prohibit cannabis, simply because poor countries have issues such as education and poverty to deal with, so fighting drugs is not at the top of their agenda.
"In some ways, it is a luxury of rich countries to worry about this issue and to spend resources thinking about it," he adds.
Not everybody is happy about liberalising the use of cannabis in any US state.
Tom Gorman, director of the Healthy and Drug Free Colorado campaign, says a lot of money came from outside the state to try to get the motion passed.
"They outspent the people against the proposal five-to-one on radio and television commercials," he says.
He says that since the 1970s there has been a movement in the US advocating that marijuana should be legalised, which began with the medicinal use of the drug because it "was hard to argue against on compassionate grounds when people suffering from cancer and Aids might get relief from their pain".
He agrees that taxes and fees will raise revenue, in the same way that legal drugs such as tobacco and alcohol do, but says the money raised will only cover about 10% of the damage that drugs cause - such as traffic fatalities, hospital emergencies, treatment and lost productivity.
Overall, he believes the move will have a detrimental effect on the business climate and the image it sends out.
"Among issues that businesses are concerned about is what kind of work-force will they have, what will it do to education and will it alter the quality of life," he says.
"Furthermore, if any business wants a federal grant or contract, they have to ensure a drug-free workplace, families could be deterred from moving here, and it could attract the wrong kind of tourist," he says.
According to Mr Miron at Harvard University, the US has historically been the most prohibitionist of any major country.
"There was hope amongst a lot of people that the Obama administration would be more open to the medicinal use of marijuana and it initially made some announcements in that direction, but then it later reversed its policy," he says.
"There does not seem to be any obvious prospect for change in US policies toward marijuana or other drugs," he adds.
The ex-Manchester City youngster joined the Terriers in February 2015, but left at the end of last term after scoring four goals in 37 games for the club.
He has scored 39 goals in 224 league appearances for eight clubs, also including West Brom and Middlesbrough.

Chiyangwa is unhappy that a birthday party he hosted in Harare on 23 February has become a matter to be discussed by Caf's Executive Committee next week.
Caf had warned Chiywanga that hosting the gathering would be seen as "an attempt to destabilise" the body.
"They shouldn't dare me with silly innuendos - making nefarious allegations," Chiyangwa told BBC Sport. "My legal team is preparing to go into battle against President Issa Hayatou and Secretary General Hicham El Amrani."
"If necessary following any deliberations that are prejudicial to my interests and standing, I will be taking legal recourse to the extent that Hayatou and El Amrani will be held personally liable for defamation."
The Executive Committee meets in Ethiopia on Tuesday 14 March, two days ahead of a presidential election which pits Hayatou against his sole challenger Ahmad, who is head of Madagascar's FA.
Chiyangwa is campaign manager for the bid by Ahmad (who uses only one name) to unseat the Cameroonian, who is the longest-serving president in Caf history after assuming office in 1988.
This conflict of interest provides the backdrop for the recent exchanges between the two parties.
Chiyangwa claims his party last month was both to celebrate his election as president of the southern African football region Cosafa in December as well as his birthday in early February.
However, he was advised on 11 February that the event would breach Caf guidelines since it would include not only presidents of Cosafa member associations but also those outside the region.
"The president of Caf, Issa Hayatou, directs me to send you this," began the letter written by Morocco's El Amrani.
"While it would be acceptable to convene a meeting of the leaders of your zonal union, convening a meeting with representatives of many member associations outside Cosafa zone is deemed to represent an attempt to destabilise Caf."
Chiyangwa says the meeting was two-fold.
On 23 February, he hosted a party that was ultimately attended by seven FA presidents from the Cosafa zone as well as five others from across the continent (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria).
Fifa President Gianni Infantino was also in attendance.
On the day of the party, Caf contested Chiyangwa's claim that the gathering was an 'informal' meeting.
The Cairo-based organisation queried why Chiyangwa used a personal letterhead to invite the Zambian FA president to a celebration of both his Cosafa election and birthday, yet a Cosafa letterhead was used to invite Mali's FA president to just a celebration of his election.
In view of the different letterheads used and the established work visit of the Fifa President, it does not seem that it is an 'informal' meeting," Caf wrote on 23 February.
"For your information, this matter will be tabled on the agenda of the upcoming meeting of the Caf Executive Committee."
Chiyangwa says these were draft letters.
On 24 February, the day after the party, Infantino met with both Zimbabwe football officials and the country's sports minister - whereupon a development programme for the country's football was among the matters discussed.
"The debate on what the purpose of the meeting was intended to achieve is now moot as the reality of what eventually transpired bears full testimony to the veracity of my actions," says Chiyangwa.
Next week's election is seen as the tightest that Hayatou has faced.
During his three decades in charge, the 70-year-old has been challenged only twice and he registered landslide victories on both occasions.
In 2000, he beat off the challenge from Angola's Armando Machado (by 47 votes to 4) before also heavily defeating Ismail Bhamjee of Botswana four years later (46-6).
Whoever wins the 16 March election will win a four-year term as president of Caf, which is also celebrating the 60th anniversary of its founding next week.
It was the German's second stage win of this year's race, having also triumphed on stage two.
Quick-Step rider Kittel had a clear run through the middle in the final 200 metres to edge ahead of Arnaud Demare, with Andre Greipel third in Troyes.
Froome finished in the bunch and leads by 12 seconds from Geraint Thomas.
Fellow Briton Simon Yates retained sixth to keep the white jersey as the quickest rider under the age of 26.
It was a largely uneventful day for the riders chasing the overall win and they were all credited with the same time.
"These stages don't come along very often," said defending champion Froome, who is chasing a third successive win and fourth in five years.
"This was definitely one of the most relaxed days I've ever done on the Tour de France. I've always dealt with the heat I'd say better than most people. It's the cold I normally have a problem with."
After the exertions of Wednesday, when Froome claimed third on a mountain-top finish to take the race leader's yellow jersey, the general classification riders were content to see a three-man breakaway go clear in the opening kilometre.
The trio of Vegard Stake Leangen (UAE Emirates), Perrig Quemeneur (Direct Energie) and Frederick Backaert (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) quickly established a lead of more than three minutes but with temperatures reaching 37C they toiled on the road to Troyes.
The peloton timed the catch to perfection, inside the final 3km, as the sprinters' teams brought their riders to the fore.
Edvald Boasson Hagen, who would normally have been helping out Dimension Data team-mate Mark Cavendish, was given the freedom to sprint in the absence of the injured Manxman.
And the Norwegian chanced his arm from 700 metres out. However, he was easily caught.
French champion Demare tried squeezing down the right-hand side of the road, forcing his way through a gap and causing a Katusha-Alpecin rider to hesitate and then wave his arms in frustration.
His route to the line was not as straightforward as Kittel's, who came off Demare's wheel and rode unchallenged down the middle of the road.
"I am very proud of my team - they did a great job," said the German after his 11th Tour stage win.
"We brought ourselves at the front on the key moment and kept me there. I started from a great position, a bit from behind, to see where I can go."
When asked whether he had designs on winning the green points jersey, he replied: "For sure it is in my focus."
The points classification has been won for the past five years by Peter Sagan but the Slovak's disqualification for causing Cavendish's race-ending crash on stage four has left the competition wide open.
Kittel picked up 56 points on the stage, 50 for winning and six for being 10th at the intermediate sprint, to move to 143.
He is still 27 behind FDJ rider Demare, who collected 30 for finishing second and a further 13 at the intermediate sprint.
Britain's Daniel McLay of Fortuneo, who had three-top 10 stage finishes on his debut last year, was eighth in Troyes.
Friday's stage seven is a 213.5km race from Troyes to Nuits-Saint-Georges, which is again expected to end in a bunch sprint.

The border is about 1,900 miles (3,100km) long.
We asked you to send in your questions, and our Washington correspondent Anthony Zurcher has answered some of them
What happens to people in Mexico who want to visit America or Americans visiting family and friends in Mexico?
Although Donald Trump is intent on building a border wall, during the campaign he often said that the wall would have a "big, beautiful door".
Although it's never entirely safe to draw conclusions from what Mr Trump has said as a candidate, this probably means he would allow free movement between the two nations for things such as tourism and family visits.
Mr Trump appears on the verge of announcing a visa ban for certain majority-Muslim countries, but there is currently no talk of such a move for Mexicans visiting the US. Mexicans who live near the US border can presently obtain a border-crossing card, which allows unlimited passage into the US territory within 25 miles of the border for up to 10 years.
Curious to know if the wall's steel and other materials will come from China.
Earlier this week, when Mr Trump signed an executive action reopening the approval process for several delayed US pipeline projects, he also issued an order requiring that those projects be made with American steel.
Mr Trump could try to make similar requirements for the wall project - which independent estimates suggest will cost about $14bn (£11bn).
One potential hitch in Mr Trump's plans is that these kind of requirements almost certainly fall foul of current US commitments made to the World Trade Organization, which prevent discrimination against foreign-produced goods once they clear customs.
After the wall is built, will immigration and border access to the US be harder for other people around the world as well as Mexicans?
It depends on where you're coming from.
If you live in a country such as Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Libya, things could be about to get much more difficult - even impossible, if reports of a visa ban are true.
Mr Trump has announced a significant investment in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement - including more funding and personnel.
More resources probably mean a greater ability to conduct border screenings and security reviews at all points of entry into the US, which could cause difficulty for some trying to enter the US.
Does President Trump plan to build a wall stopping immigrants from Canada entering the US? Surely they are taking American jobs too?
Mr Trump seems decidedly less concerned about US-Canadian security than he does about the nation's southern border.
During his campaign announcement speech, Mr Trump said that Mexican immigrants were bringing drugs and crime into the US - a charge the president has not directed against Canadians.
The wall will have to pass through privately owned Texan land. How will President Trump be able to achieve this?
The federal government will probably use its powers of "eminent domain" to acquire - at what it deems a fair market price - any private land necessary for construction of the wall.
This is the same kind of authority that allows the government to obtain land for oil pipelines, community redevelopment programmes and infrastructure projects.
Perhaps ironically, it's a government power that has often been the subject of sharp criticism from conservative circles - although Mr Trump has defended it in the past.
Would ongoing maintenance requirements and security considerations for a wall probably require transferral of budgets from other services?
A 2,000-mile wall isn't going to patrol or repair itself, so there will have to be some form of recurring financial obligation once the structure is completed.
Appropriating funds for that is the responsibility of Congress - which could either reallocate money from other areas of the federal budget, find a way of extracting the ongoing costs from the Mexican government or (most likely) finance it through increased deficit spending.
What steps are to be implemented to stop people burrowing under the wall?
It's next to impossible to construct a wall that can't be tunnelled under. Any efforts to circumvent the barrier will have to be identified and dealt with by the US Border Patrol.
During the campaign, Mr Trump said the US would use above- and below-ground technology to detect tunnels - although current systems are unreliable.
Since 1990, federal agents have discovered more than 200 tunnels under the existing border walls, which they have then filled with concrete.
Would it even be possible for construction to be completed within his term?
A lot depends on the design of the wall and the amount of resources dedicated to its construction, but it seems highly doubtful that a permanent, impenetrable barrier could be built along the length of the 2,000-plus-mile US-Mexican border in one four-year presidential term.
It took the US more than six years to build just 700 miles of border fence.
How will President Trump's wall affect the farming industry in the United States? Who will take the laborious jobs that immigrants have filled?
That's a very good question. American business, particularly in the agriculture, construction and food-processing industries, has relied on undocumented workers as a regular, low-cost source of labour - one that can expand or contract based on the condition of the economy and a business's needs.
If that resource were no longer available, companies would have to look for workers from the domestic labour pool - and they would very probably have to pay higher wages to attract them. Another option, at least for some businesses, is to increase reliance on automation.
Either way, it will drive up production costs and that could be reflected in the price of goods for US consumers.
How will President Trump extract payment from Mexico and what action he would take when they refuse to pay?
Mr Trump has been vague about how he will get the Mexican government to pay for the wall, although his campaign did float some ideas, such as a tax on financial remittances sent into Mexico from individuals in the US or increased border fees.
Others have proposed funding the wall by redirecting aid currently given to Mexico, although cutting things such as support for counter-narcotics programmes could have unwanted effects on border security.
Wall funding could also be rolled into the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) negotiations Mr Trump has promised to re-open, although Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has been adamant that Mexico will not contribute to the wall's construction.
"Mexico doesn't believe in walls," he said in an address to the Mexican people posted on Twitter on Wednesday. "Mexico will not pay for any wall."
Will the wall really stop drug trafficking and the other illegal activities?
Even an imposing, complete wall along the US-Mexican border may not do much to make a dent in drug trafficking.
According to a 2015 US government "national drug threat assessment", the bulk of illegal narcotics enter the US through border checkpoints and points of entry, hidden among more than 5.5 million commercial trucks that cross the US-Mexican border every year.
Undocumented immigration is a similar story. Most of the Mexicans who are in the US illegally entered through legal means and then overstayed their visas, not by illicit border-crossing that a wall could prevent.
Ahead of next week's Budget, the Treasury announced Whitehall would begin coming up with ways to contribute to its "efficiency review".
It said the NHS and core schools budgets would not be included, with savings found by councils to be spent on under-pressure social services.
Labour accused the government of "sneaking out... more Tory austerity".
Departments have already faced significant cuts in their budgets since 2010, but they will now be told to find further savings of between 2% and 6% by 2019-20, the Treasury said, with up to £1bn to be reinvested in "priority areas".
It added that the government would continue to spend spend 2% of GDP on defence, and it remains legally obliged to spend 0.7% on overseas aid.
The planned savings are due to be introduced around the time the UK is scheduled to be leaving the EU, and just before the next general election.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury David Gauke said the government was committed to delivering services "in the most efficient way possible".
He added: "There has been considerable progress, but there is further to go and the whole of government is working together to consider how we can live within our means while delivering maximum value for every pound of taxpayers' money."
But shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the announcement showed Chancellor Philip Hammond "represents more of the same Tory austerity".
"Sneaking out an announcement asking departments to model cuts of 3% to 6% for 2019-20 is no way to manage public spending," he said.
"Hammond urgently needs to explain why this announcement was made in the way it was and why after seven years of failed austerity he thinks more of the same will now work."
Mr Hammond will deliver the Budget on 8 March.
Opec and non-Opec oil producers are due to discuss a deal that would freeze oil production at current levels.
If they agree on that freeze, rather than a cut in output, the impact on oil supplies "will be limited", the IEA said in its monthly report.
Oil prices have plunged since mid-2014, as supply has run ahead of demand.
The IEA points out that Saudi Arabia and Russia are "already producing at near record rates" and that Iran has plans to raise production back to the levels seen before it was hit with sanctions.
Global stocks of oil have hit a record three billion barrels this year.
However, the agency says that there is mounting evidence that US production is being hit by spending cuts.
It also said that Iran's return to the market had been "more measured that expected".
As a result, "the oil market looks set to move close to balance in the second half of this year," the agency said in its report.
As for oil demand, the IEA trimmed its estimate for global demand growth for 2016 to 1.16 million barrels per day.
North Sea Brent crude was down 12 cents at $44.06 a barrel.
PC Lisa Ritchie and her colleague PC Ryan Campbell spotted the swan on a road in Tongland near Kirkcudbright.
They feared it had become lost and it was in danger of being hit by passing vehicles.
PC Campbell said: "It looks like the swan had flown off from the cygnets to get food and thereafter became disorientated.
"It was a bit daunting to try and capture the swan however it didn't seem to mind the ride in the police car."
The officers took the bird to Castle Douglas police office before contacting the Scottish SPCA.
The swan was later returned to the water by Scottish SPCA officers following the rescue on Friday, and it was reunited with its cygnets.
It came too late for the Palmerston Park side's annual general meeting this year which was held earlier this week.
However, the council has given its backing in principle to adding the issue to the agenda at a future AGM.
It said its support was subject to a meeting being held with members of the board and the Queens Trust.
The trust has just over 900 shares in the Dumfries club with 7,500 needed to allow it to add an item to the AGM agenda.
It needs the support of the council - which holds more than 6,600 shares - to help secure its goal of discussing a director's role.
Failing that, the fans group has said it would hope to get a "non-voting representative" onto the board.
The club said that should the trust get sufficient support to add the item to the AGM agenda then fan representation was something which could be discussed.
It added that its door was "always open" for an "open and honest dialogue" with supporters.
World football's governing body said local authorities had intervened to undermine a committee appointed to run the game there following a serious corruption scandal.
The national team and all the country's clubs will be excluded from all international competitions.
Senior Fifa official Primo Corvaro said the ban might not be immediate.
A former Fedefut president, Brayan Jimenez, pled guilty in July to racketeering charges after receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to award lucrative marketing rights to his country's World Cup qualifying matches to a Florida-based company.
After his arrest Fifa set up a committee to oversee Fedefut.
Sports regulators within Guatemala suspended the committee last week, saying it had not correctly used a procedure for looking into players who had been sanctioned for doping.
Mr Corvaro said this was unacceptable "interference".
"This means Fedefut will be isolated and will not be able to compete at international level," he said.
"It is a very serious situation. Financial support will end, as will training courses."
Mr Corvaro said Fedefut should expect a confirmation letter soon and the suspension would remain in place until the Fifa-run committee was allowed to operate again.
Guatemala's national side has already been knocked out of the running for the 2018 World Cup but in the team's last match, striker Carlos Ruiz became the highest-scoring player in World Cup qualifier history, scoring five goals to bring him to a total of 38.
The 80-year-old champion of the Doric dialect will step down from the Scottish dance music show this weekend.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Twitter: "Sad that broadcasting legend, Robbie Shepherd, is hanging up his headphones. Best wishes to him."
Others highlighted how they had grown up with his voice on the radio.
Robbie was described as "a legend and all round really nice human being", and another comment said "Stuck on a bus, coming home from an away game in Edinburgh, will never be the same again #TakeTheFloor".
Robbie's work has been recognised with an MBE, and he was also inducted into a hall of fame by the Trad Music Awards.
Robbie said of the future: "I am taking a break, that is for sure."
He added with a smile: "But, as they say, I am a wanted man. I hope sincerely you have not heard the last of this Doric voice.
"It's been 35 years of sheer pleasure."
Robbie's final Take the Floor will be broadcast on Saturday 17 September at 19:00.
Tomer Hemed had a great chance to put the league leaders ahead but his penalty was saved by on-loan Arsenal keeper Emiliano Martinez.
Wolves striker Adam Le Fondre had a shot cleared off the line before Conor Coady saw red for a poor tackle.
Beram Kayal, Liam Rosenior and Jamie Murphy had efforts late on but the Seagulls were unable to find a winner.
Brighton are now three points clear of second-placed Middlesbrough at the top of the Championship, with Wolves sitting 18th, two points above the relegation zone.
The first real opportunity of the game came after Wolves defender Scott Golbourne fouled Murphy inside the area, but Martinez pulled off a brilliant double save from Hemed's effort and then the striker's follow-up.

The hosts should have been ahead when James Henry's free-kick was headed into Le Fondre's path by Ethan Ebanks-Landell, but his touch towards goal was stopped by Hemed.
After Coady was dismissed for his poorly-timed tackle on Rosenior, the Seagulls pressed forward and Kayal and Rosenior had shots saved, while Murphy nodded wide.
Wolves struggled to create when they were a man down, with Benik Afobe's pulled shot their best effort in a second half with few chances.
Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett: "It was a very well-earned point against an impressive side. Brighton were good today, moved the ball very well and got a high number of crosses in.
"We had to work hard for the clean sheet in the dying minutes. When they put Bobby Zamora and Elvis Manu on, you wonder how the dynamics of the game are going to change.
"But the young centre-half pairing (Kortney Hause and Ethan Ebanks-Landell) stood very firm and showed a lot of promise."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "I couldn't fault the commitment of the players and I thought they had a real go.
"We had a midweek game and Wolves hadn't and there were little periods in that first half when they maybe looked a little fresher than we did.
"So it is difficult to be too disappointed but, of course, we did have a really good opportunity with the penalty."
Anastasiya Kapachinskaya, Inga Abitova and Denis Alekseyev tested positive for banned substance Turinabol.
Kapachinskaya claimed silver in the women's 4x400m relay, while Alekseyev took bronze in the men's 4x400m.
Their medals had already been reallocated by the International Olympic Committee, with Great Britain set to receive bronze in both events.
The GB women's quartet - Christine Ohuruogu, Kelly Sotherton, Marilyn Okoro and Nicola Sanders - finished fifth but have moved to third as a result of both third-placed Russia and fourth-placed Belarus being disqualified due to subsequent failed tests.
The men's four - Andrew Steele, Robert Tobin, Michael Bingham and Martyn Rooney - moved from fourth to third when the IOC stripped third-placed Russia of their medal in September.
The Russian Athletic Federation has now handed out its own discipline to the three athletes, who each admitted their guilt to world governing body the IAAF.
In addition, Kapachinskaya tested positive for stanozolol and her retested sample from the 2011 World Athletics Championships in Daegu also came back positive.
Abitova, who came sixth in the women's 10,000m in Beijing, was the only one of the trio whose offence did not see medals reallocated.
British Athletics is now in possession of medals that can be presented to the men's 4x400m team.
A ceremony could be held at the World Athletics Championships in London in August or at the Anniversary Games in the same city a month earlier.
But, as the World Championships is an IAAF event, the IOC would have to give permission for any presentation to take place as Olympic medals fall under their jurisdiction.
British Athletics does not have possession of medals for the women's 4x400m team yet as legal proceedings are ongoing regarding athletes in their race.
Sotherton is also due to receive a heptathlon bronze from the 2008 Games after being upgraded, while Goldie Sayers was also moved up to third place in the women's javelin.
Both are also waiting on legal proceedings to conclude before their medals can be handed out.
The IOC is retesting hundreds of stored samples from the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics using improved testing techniques.
Russia was accused in a World Anti-Doping Agency report last year of state-sponsored doping. Its athletics team was barred from last summer's Rio Olympics and remains banned.
They finished top of the table for the fifth time in seven seasons but have been out of the Premiership since 2009.
Bristol hold a 15-point lead from the away leg and will play in front of a packed Ashton Gate on Wednesday.
"We know what it's like to be in the other camp, so it gives us a kind of advantage," he told BBC Points West.
"I don't think you can compare it to previous years - obviously you can say we've been in similar situations before."
Andy Robinson's side were dominant at the semi-final stage this season, thrashing Bedford 90-35 on aggregate.
Glynn, who plays at lock, is one of Bristol's longest-serving players and thinks there is still room for improvement from the first leg.
"Obviously the scoreline is slightly in our favour at the moment but we weren't 100% happy with our performance, so there's lots of little things that we can tweak and work on," he added.
"There are lots of areas that we've looked at. We're hard on ourselves, I think that's good - we've been like it all season.
"We know what it's like to be on the other foot and obviously Doncaster will still have that belief."
The incident happened at the Twin Peaks Sports Bar and Grill in a shopping area called the Central Texas Market Place.
Police said eight had died at the scene and a ninth in hospital - all were bikers. At least 18 others were hurt.
One witness quoted by the Waco Tribune-Herald said the car park of the restaurant resembled "a war zone".
"There were maybe 30 guns being fired in the parking lot, maybe 100 rounds," Michelle Logan said.
Diners at the Twin Peaks cafe said they and the staff had locked themselves in a freezer room for safety before being escorted off the premises by armed police.
Waco police said the shooting happened shortly after midday when rival gangs got into a fight, apparently over parking space near the restaurant. Up to five gangs were involved.
Police spokesman Sgt W Patrick Swanton said the fight started with punches and then escalated to chains, clubs, knives and finally firearms.
"This is probably one of the most gruesome crime scenes I've ever seen in my 34 years of law enforcement,'' he said.
Police knew the meeting was going on, and officers moved in as soon as the shooting started.
McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara later said all nine who were killed were members of the Bandidos or Cossacks gangs, according to the Associated Press news agency.
"These are very dangerous hostile biker gangs," Sgt Swanton said. "A lot of innocent people could have been injured today."
One witness said he and his family had just finished their lunch and walked into the car park when they heard gunshots.
"We crouched down in front of our pick-up truck because that was the only cover we had," the witness - who asked not to be named - was quoted as saying.
Sgt Swanton said there were concerns that groups involved in the shooting may have moved to other locations in and around Waco.
Several nearby roads were closed, and police asked residents to avoid the area until an all-clear was issued.
Waco police said no officers had been injured in the shooting.
At the end of trade, the FTSE 100 was down 1.97 points at 6,165.80.
Shares in fashion group Burberry slid 2.71% to 1112p after it reported a fall in full-year profits and said profits this year would be at the low end of forecasts.
Burberry said it expected "the challenging environment for the luxury sector to continue in the near term".
Mining shares were hit by a fall in copper prices as the value of the US dollar recovered. Anglo American fell 3.59% and Glencore dropped 2.60%.
On the currency markets, the pound jumped after a poll for London's Evening Standard newspaper suggested a big lead for the Remain camp ahead of the EU referendum vote.
Sterling rose 1.04% against the dollar to $1.4613, and was up 1.41% against the euro at €1.2964.
Thousands of people cheered in the summer sunshine as he stood in front of the Brandenburg Gate and took off his jacket, telling the crowd he could be informal as he was among friends.
Obvious comparisons were drawn. Not far away, 50 years - almost to the day - earlier, President John F Kennedy had delivered his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech to a delighted crowd.
As the news magazine Spiegel wrote after Mr Obama's visit, the US president "left the city having achieved his primary goal - that of putting a feel-good coat of paint on a transatlantic relationship that had recently begun to show its age".
For years, Germans have rated President Obama highly.
In fact, according to Pew research, which surveys scores of countries, German confidence in Mr Obama was the highest in the world. Until last year, when that confidence slumped to well below that displayed by people in France or the UK.
President Kennedy told a huge crowd that West Berlin was a symbol of freedom in a world threatened by the Cold War.
"Two thousand years ago," he said, "the proudest boast in the world was, 'Civis Romanus sum.'
"Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is, 'Ich bin ein Berliner.'
"Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect," he added. "But we never had to put up a wall to keep our people in."
His speech was punctuated throughout by rapturous cheers of approval.
He ended on the theme he had begun with: "All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words, 'Ich bin ein Berliner.'"
And in the past few years the number of Germans who viewed America favourably fell too. Just 51% now hold a good opinion of the US.
"The honeymoon's over," ran one newspaper headline. So what happened?
Germany's relationship with the US is best described as complicated.
Arguably, it is a cultural thing. Germans do not, for example, share America's more hawkish approach to foreign policy.
There is mistrust and concern over US use of drones, and the Iraq War, which Germany strongly opposed, still casts a shadow.
And that's before anyone has mentioned claims of spying.
But while geopolitical threats such as Russian action in Ukraine - divide opinion between the two countries, they also unite them.
For Germany, the US is a powerful ally - but Angela Merkel is widely seen by the West as chief communicator with President Vladimir Putin.
And, as Europe's largest economy and, by default, arguably Europe's lead nation, it is vital to the US too, which makes the relationship between the countries' leaders so interesting.
When Mr Obama and Mrs Merkel were pictured recently, high in the Bavarian mountains at the G7 summit, the image ignited worldwide speculation.
Was she telling him off? Trying to impress him? Or were they just sharing a joke?
It is, after all, a relationship that has endured some storms.
Mrs Merkel was famously furious when it emerged in 2013 that the US secret services may have tapped her mobile telephone.
"Friends spying on one another," she said, "that's just not on."
The US public agreed. And claims about the mass surveillance of German citizens further soured transatlantic relations. Mrs Merkel sought a "no-spy" agreement, which never transpired.
Has the Obama-Merkel relationship recovered?
"They still respect one another and hold each other in high regard," says Peter Beyer, a conservative MP and "special rapporteur" on transatlantic relations for the German government.
He points out that Mrs Merkel stayed at the "guest house" next to the White House during a recent trip to Washington - not an honour afforded to every visiting head of government.
You get the sense too that the power balance has shifted, that President Obama, who is weakened domestically, benefits from an apparently strong relationship with Europe's most powerful politician.
"They're in close communication," says Mr Beyer.
"Chancellor Merkel sees Obama under enormous interior pressure."
Mr Flanagan was speaking on Thursday night after a day of talks at Stormont.
Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty last week, starting a two-year countdown to the UK's exit from the EU.
She said there would be "no return to the borders of the past".
Speaking in Belfast, Mr Flanagan said: "I believe it's absolutely essential that a hard border on the island of Ireland be avoided.
"We have made great strides here, particularly in the context of the peace process and indeed the hard-won gains of the peace process, that's why I'm here in Belfast."
He added: "It's absolutely essential that the open border remain in between north and south.
"Over 30,000 cross that border every day to work or to school or for hospital appointments."
After a scoreless opening 28 minutes, Saints' Ken Pisi dived over and then Michael Paterson touched down.
Josh Charnley raced onto Mike Haley's chip through for his first Sale try, but Saints still led 15-7 at the break.
Hooker Mike Haywood was driven over and Ethan Waller raced in a fourth, either side of Bryn Evans' consolation.
Sixth-placed Saints are now four points behind Bath in fourth, while Sale have a 12-point buffer to bottom-side Bristol, who play Worcester on Sunday.
A scrappy first half in wet conditions at the AJ Bell Stadium was finally brought to life when wing Pisi collected Harry Mallinder's pass following some quick hands from the youngster.
A combination of dominance in the pack, which resulted in tries for forwards Paterson and Haywood, and accuracy from the boot of Stephen Myler meant Sale rarely threatened to overturn Saints' lead.
The visitors' excellent night was capped in the last minute when Waller finished off a fine team move to earn what could be a crucial bonus point in the run-in.
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond:
"Second half, fair play to them, Stephen Myler gave us a master class on how to keep us in our own half, and we couldn't deal with it.
"It doesn't happen often down here but we got out-enthused, which I'm not happy with - there's one or two of our lads who've got to look at themselves - if they have aspirations of playing at the highest level, they've got to do it here.
"As a collective the place looked leaderless - we lost Will Addison and it looked like nobody could take the game by the scruff of the neck, so I'm really disappointed with that."
Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder:
"You don't play in the Premiership for 10 years, score so many points and make so many appearances if you're not a good player and Stephen is.
"He showed the value of experience in that position and some of his kicking was outstanding tonight."
"The team played with really good control which you need to do in these conditions.
"Our back three played well, we got into really good field positions to cover Sale's attacking and kicking threats and we probably did that a bit better than they did."
Sale: Haley; Solomona, Leota, Jennings, Charnley; James, Phillips; Harrison, Webber, Aulika, Evans, Mills, Nield, Lund, Beaumont (capt).
Replacements: T Curry, Flynn, Longbottom, Nott, B Curry, Seymour, Stringer, Mugford, McGuigan.
Northampton: Tuala; K Pisi, Tuitavake, Mallinder, Foden (capt); Myler, Groom; Waller, Haywood, Brookes, Paterson, Craig, Gibson, Clark, Harrison.
Replacements: Clare, Waller, Hill, Ratuniyarawa, Dickinson, Dickson, Estelles, Wilson.

He has faced criticism since saying he would be standing down from the assembly but would continue to lead the party from Westminster as an MP.
Deputy leader, Dolores Kelly, said voters had expressed concerns about Dr McDonnell during the Westminster election campaign trail.
But the SDLP executive said they would "support" Dr McDonnell.
"The party executive met today to discuss the result of the Westminster election," a statement said.
"We're delighted that the party has defended its three seats.
"The executive endorses the strategic direction and development of the party under the leadership of Alasdair McDonnell and will continue to support him in that regard."
Alasdair McDonnell has made it clear he does not intend to stand down.
Earlier this week, former SDLP leader Mark Durkan said the party leadership needs to change in time for next year's assembly election.
Speaking on BBC One programme The View, Mr Durkan, who stepped down as leader in 2010, said Dr McDonnell's leadership was "a real issue" posed by voters on the doorstep during general election canvassing.
"If Alasdair thinks that just resigning from the assembly deals with the questions, well it won't because these questions will all surface again once he resigns from the assembly," he said.
"As we move towards an assembly election, the questions won't go away and therefore I think if we're going to be in a better position to fight the election, then the leadership needs to change."
Dr McDonnell earlier rejected criticism by party grandees Seamus Mallon and Brid Rodgers that he should step down, telling the programme: "I'm not going to run away from a task half done."
"It's also the case," Sun editor-in-chief Tony Gallagher told the BBC, "that we knew much more than we published and that remains the case."
Any future revelations won't alter the complaint sitting in the press watchdog's in-tray.
"Queen backs Brexit" was a headline that stuck in the monarchical craw.
It wasn't supported, as far as the palace is concerned, by any of the quotes in the Sun article.
Before the Queen was in its sights, the tabloid had criticised Prince William for being work shy - an accusation echoed in other newspapers.
It's led some to question whether this signals the start of a shift in how the papers portray the royals.
The reality is more likely to be that recent coverage serves as a reminder of the media's complex relationship with the Windsors - a family which over time has been both praised and pilloried in print.
People are lying in the corridors on spare hospital beds waiting their turn.
Those who can sit up are in wheelchairs - not standard hospital issue. These are plastic garden chairs with wheels attached to them.
Public finances are stretched - more than ever, some would say.
June saw 677 murders in El Salvador, more than any other month since the country's civil war ended in 1992.
Juan - not his real name - is lucky not to be another number in those grisly statistics. Thirty-seven years old, he runs a recycling business and a carwash. Four men arrived at his work and opened fire: 40 bullets.
"Thank God just one bullet hit my arm," he tells me from his hospital bed.
Juan says in the 20 years he has had his own business he has never given in to gangs trying to extort money from him. "I'm the sort of person who would prefer to die fighting than be brought to my knees."
The police never came to see him to find out what happened. And did he go to them to report it?
"What's the point? I don't believe in the system," he says. He is now making plans to leave the country with his wife and two children.
Throughout his recovery, he has been seen by nurse Alicia de Polanco. She is a special kind of nurse, not there to mend his shattered arm. There are other people to do that. Instead, she is trying to fix the mental trauma.
Alicia is part of a project which in English translates as Healing Wounds, supported by a USAid programme. Whether they are gang members or innocent victims, her role is to help to stop the cycle of violence.
"The first few moments are when they are most vulnerable," she says. "So it's very important to get involved."
Violence is just like dengue fever or the flu, according to Alicia.
"If it hits you and you don't realize you're going to have a massive fever, you think you're going to die," she says.
"But if somebody comes along and tells you, look, it will last three days, your whole body will ache but you'll then start to get better, you start reconnecting and picking up the pieces."
On the outskirts of the capital, San Salvador, is a factory that is trying to pick up the pieces, but in a very different way. It is not long after dawn and all the workers at League Central America are gathered outside. Everyone listens intently to a motivational speech followed by prayers.
Once that is over, work begins. Most of the more than 400 employees are sat behind sewing machines, sewing on labels or cutting material that is used to make sweatshirts and shorts.
All the clothes here are branded with American university logos such as Harvard and Brown and sent to the US.
Just over one in 10 are former gang members, from both the rival gangs - the Mara Salvatrucha and the 18th Street gang. You can tell their affiliation by the tattoos that some of them still have. Up until a few years ago, it used to be standard if you were a gang member.
But tattoos apart, they have started new lives here. One of them - I'll call him Jorge to protect his identity - came to work here through a church group. That is a prerequisite to work here.
After years of robbing, extorting, attacking and even killing several people, he decided to give it all up.
"It didn't make any sense, I was bored of it," he tells me. "I was fed up with suffering. I was in the street all the time.
"My daughter was born and I didn't want her to go through the same thing I had gone through."
The only thing left of his gang days is the tattoo. He pulls down his lower lip to show it to me - carved out with a knife, it is inked with the words MS - to mark him out as a Mara. He says though that gang violence is getting worse.
"They go around killing police, soldiers," he says. "It's partly because of the lack of work, the poverty.
"There are lots of former gang members who want to change their lives but they don't have a way out, nobody gives them an opportunity. So they go back to what they used to do."
Jorge was lucky. He is now one of the chief pattern cutters at League Central America and is thankful for another chance at life.
"People join gangs because they have to. They join because they have no other choice," says Carly Gerstman, the development manager at League Central America.
"We've found that they have the motivation and they have the drive and they have the appreciation that, you know, we are bringing them back in and we are giving them this opportunity, and they take it and they run with it."
Company boss Rodrigo Bolanos says businesses need to play a part in solving the cycle of violence.
"The war between the government and gang members is already here, it's already started," he says.
"In the process of suffocating the economy and the country the private companies need to take a position to look for a dignified way out." | A screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark accompanied by a live orchestral performance will be one of the highlights of the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF).

Ex-US President Bill Clinton, the Irish president and the taoiseach (Irish prime minister) are also set to attend.
The former IRA leader turned politician died on Tuesday after a short illness.
The streets of Londonderry are expected to be crowded with mourners during the service at Saint Columba's Church Long Tower.
Before the ceremony, the same church is hosting the funeral of the Derry City Football Club captain, Ryan McBride, who died suddenly on Sunday aged 27.
Irish President Michael D Higgins will attend both funerals and the Irish Tricolour will fly at half mast at his official residence Áras an Uachtaráin as well as the Dáil (Irish parliament) as a mark of respect to Northern Ireland's former deputy first minister.
The Northern Ireland Secretary of State, James Brokenshire, will represent the UK government at Mr McGuinness' funeral.
Former US President Barack Obama has added his voice to tributes to the former Sinn Féin minister, saying his leadership was "instrumental" during the peace process.
Mr McGuinness's later life was marked by moments which banished long-held shibboleths - in particular his handshakes with the Queen., says BBC News NI political editor Mark Devenport.
Now his death will provide another striking image - of a DUP leader and IRA victim attending the funeral of a former IRA commander.
Writing in the Belfast Telegraph, Mrs Foster said she recognised some will be critical of her decision to attend the funeral of a former IRA leader but added she wanted to pay "respect to his family".
Analysis - BBC News NI political editor Mark Devenport
Before he died Martin McGuinness was strongly critical of Arlene Foster for - in his view - not matching his gestures of reconciliation.
So the sight of the DUP leader attending Mr McGuinness's funeral may be seen as an attempt by Mrs Foster belatedly to make amends.
As someone whose father was targeted and whose school bus was blown up by the IRA, it's understandable that Mrs Foster may have had to think hard about this decision.
It's likely she will have sought assurance there will be no paramilitary trappings.
Mr McGuinness, who was 66, had been suffering from a rare heart condition.
He died at Altnagelvin hospital in his native city of Derry, with his family by his bedside.
Many tributes from across the political spectrum have been paid to the former paramilitary leader who became the deputy first minister of Northern Ireland.
However, some victims of the Troubles have expressed revulsion at media coverage of his death, with critics saying that Mr McGuinness was lauded as a peacemaker despite never having apologised for his IRA past.
Mr McGuinness, who was at one time the IRA's second-in-command in Derry, was later appointed as Sinn Féin's chief negotiator in the talks that led to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
He has been hailed as one of the architects of the historic peace deal, which helped to end nearly three decades of political unrest and sectarian violence.
Mr Clinton was in office at the time and the then US president dedicated a considerable amount of time and resources to assist the negotiations.
The talks were chaired by Mr Clinton's Special Envoy to Northern Ireland, former Senator George Mitchell.
Mr Obama, who also visited Northern Ireland during his presidency, said Mr McGuinness was "a man who had the wisdom and courage to pursue peace and reconciliation for his people".
"His leadership was instrumental in turning the page on a past of violence and conflict that he knew all too well.
"In our own meetings, I was always struck by his good humour and persistent belief in a better future for the people of Northern Ireland.
May Martin rest in the peace that he pursued in life, and may his example inspire others to follow a path of reconciliation."
Unionist leaders have acknowledged the important role Mr McGuinness played in the peace process, but also said his death on Tuesday was a difficult day for IRA victims.
At a special sitting of the Northern Ireland Assembly on Wednesday, Mrs Foster said while "many victims are feeling very hurt", she acknowledged that many republicans were mourning "a leader, a friend, or a mentor".
Sinn Féin's northern leader, Michelle O'Neill, described Mr McGuinness as a "political visionary".
One of Mr McGuinness' last political acts was to resign as deputy first minister of Northern Ireland, over Mrs Foster's handling of a green energy scandal.
She set up the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme in 2012, but a lack of cost controls means taxpayers may have to foot the bill for its £490m overspend.
Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing structure, the joint nature of their office meant that when he quit, she also lost her position as first minister.
The move led to a snap election on 2 March, the result of which ended the unionist majority at Stormont.
Cooper has made 21 appearances for the Royals this season after breaking into the first-team set-up last term.
The 21-year-old featured alongside Manchester United's Marcus Rashford in the Young Lions' 2-1 defeat by Canada.
"We think there is a lot of potential there and we have always tried to bring the young players on," said McDermott.
"He did really well and he was comfortable in the environment. He has got a lot to do and learn but the one thing about Jake is that he wants to learn and get better."
"I have discussed with him what he needs to do. He comes in every day, he's learning in the team which is really important. If he makes mistakes now, it will be a mistake he will not make next season.
"We have an awful lot of younger players playing international football. It's a great honour for them and a great honour for our club."
Reading players returned to training on Tuesday after several members of the squad were away on international duty over the Easter period.
McDermott used some spare time to track the progress of some of his younger players, including Cooper and Dominic Samuel, who is currently on loan at League One club Gillingham.
"It was good for me to get around and watch some games," the 54-year-old told BBC Sport. "I went to see four games actually. I went to a game Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday."
McDermott's side return to action at Bolton in the Championship on Saturday, looking for their first win in six matches.
The category one hurricane struck the island on Wednesday, unleashing heavy rains and winds of 125km/h (80mph).
Schools and airports are closed, and a curfew has been imposed in major towns. A police officer was shot and injured by looters in the capital, Kingston.
A hurricane warning has also been issued in Cuba, where Sandy is expected to make its next landfall.
Moving at 22km/h, the hurricane struck Kingston on Wednesday evening and headed north, emerging off the island's northern coast near the town of Port Antonio.
Sandy has prompted a hurricane watch in the Bahamas, while Florida has been placed on tropical storm watch.
"It's a big storm and it's going to grow in size after it leaves Cuba," said forecaster Michael Brennan from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami.
The NHC predicts that Sandy could dump up to 50cm (inches) of rain across parts of Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and eastern Cuba.

"These rains may produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of mountainous terrain," the centre warned in a statement.
More than 1,000 Jamaicans have sought refuge in shelters, with residents reporting widespread power outages, flooded streets and damages to buildings.
An elderly man was crushed to death by stones that fell from a hillside as he tried to get into his house in a rural village, authorities said.
Much of the island's infrastructure is in a poor state of repair, and a lack of effective planning regulation has resulted in homes being built close to embankments and gullies.
"A part of the roof of my veranda just went like that [and] at least five of my neighbours have lost their entire roofs," a resident of the coastal city of Iter Boreale told Reuters news agency.
The country's sole energy provider, the Jamaica Public Service Company, said 70% of its customers were without electricity.
Authorities have imposed a 48-hour curfew in all major towns. But looters in Kingston ignored the order and wounded a senior officer in a shooting, police said.
In some southern Jamaican towns, crocodiles were caught in rushing floodwaters, which carried them out of mangrove thickets, the Associated Press reports.
One big croc was washed into a family's front yard in the city of Portmore, according to the news agency.
While Jamaica was ravaged by winds from Hurricane Ivan in 2004, the eye of a hurricane hasn't crossed the island since Hurricane Gilbert in 1988.
Almost 50 people were killed by that storm, and the then Prime Minister, Edward Seaga, described the hardest hit areas near where Gilbert made landfall as looking "like Hiroshima after the atom bomb".
The committee will investigate whether regulators failed to prevent the car industry from cheating emissions tests designed to reduce pollution.
The executive branch of the EU, the European Commission, which will be scrutinised as part of the probe, said it would work with the committee.
The parliamentary inquiry could last for up to a year.
It will investigate alleged breaches of European Union law and "maladministration".
Forty-five members of the Parliament will sit on the committee and preside over public hearings of testimony from government, EU and industry representatives.
Volkswagen said in September that it rigged US tests for nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel cars and that up to 11 million vehicles could be fitted with illegal devices capable of cheating tests.
"Defeat devices are banned in EU law," European Commission spokeswoman Lucia Caudet said. "The policing in the area is the responsibility of the appropriate national enforcement authorities."
The Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the Maltese-registered Svetlana had been held since 12 October.
An MCA spokeswoman said the 11 deficiencies showed there was "clear evidence of a serious failure or lack of effective implementation of the safety management system on board".
Svetlana's owners have been asked to comment.
Port state control officers said the issues on the Svetlana all related to the international safety management code.
The MCA said these included a corroded main fire-fighting pipeline and a defective fire detection system for the cargo hold.
Upon re-inspection on 20 October, the MCA said crew members made complaints about non-payment of wages, so the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) was contacted.
ITF inspector Tommy Molloy said low wages were being paid to the Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian crew.
He added: "The MLC [Maritime Labour Convention] requires member states that have ratified to establish procedures for determining minimum wages for seafarers and that when doing so they should give consideration to those set by ILO [International Labour Organization].
"I have asked how low wages can be set before it becomes an issue for the Malta shipping register."
The row developed when Unilever, which faces higher costs after the fall in value of the pound, attempted to pass them on in higher wholesale prices.
Tesco said only: "We are currently experiencing availability issues on a number of Unilever products."
"We hope to have this issue resolved soon," the company added.
However, it did not indicate when that might be.
Sterling has dropped by 16% against the euro since the UK's Brexit vote.
Unilever is the UK's biggest food and grocery manufacturer with many famous brand names.
Among those currently absent from Tesco's website are Marmite spread, Surf washing powder, Comfort fabric conditioner, Hellmann's mayonnaise, Pot Noodles and Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Analysis: Emma Simpson, business correspondent
Who should absorb the increase in costs as a result of the weaker pound? It's the question that retailers have consistently been asked these last few months as import prices start to rise. Now that debate has exploded into the open with a stand-off between Britain's biggest consumer goods company and its largest retailer, Tesco.
Household staples, from Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Pot Noodles to Persil and Dove soap, are at stake. The extra spice to this story is that Tesco's boss, Dave Lewis, spent most of his career at Unilever before being poached by Tesco.
In the cut-throat world of grocery shopping, retailers are reluctant to pass on price rises to shoppers. But many suppliers are already seeing input costs rise because of the fall in the pound, although many will also have hedged their currency positions until at least the start of next year. So who ultimately takes the hit?
One grocery insider says in the case of Unilever, the weak currency was a smokescreen to raise prices, as some of the products are made in the UK.
Whatever the truth, this relationship is too important for the two sides not to reach a deal in the end. Will the other big grocers follow suit?
Unilever has declined to comment.
But the former head of rival firm Northern Foods, Lord Haskins, told the BBC's Newsnight that Brexit had caused "a huge wobble" in the market, which was already suffering tensions because of the rise of online shopping and discount supermarkets Aldi and Lidl.
"Undoubtedly what Unilever is doing is justified in terms of the economics of it, but Tesco's worried that Aldi may not follow suit," he said.
"They will have to follow suit, because the costs as a result of devaluation are too big for any company to carry."
Lord Haskins, who wanted the UK to remain in the EU, forecast that food price inflation would hit 5% in about a year's time.
He added: "The moment the great British public realises that there's a real cost to pay for Brexit, then the government will have to take account of that."
The former boss of Sainsbury's, Justin King, has given an indication of the problem, saying that shoppers should expect higher prices because supermarkets will not be able to absorb the extra cost of imported goods.
According to media reports of a conference speech by Mr King, he said: "Retailers' margins are already squeezed. So there is no room to absorb input price pressures and costs will need to be passed on.
"But no one wants to be the first to break cover. No business wants to be the first to blame Brexit for a rise in prices. But once someone does, there will be a flood of companies, because they will all be suffering."
Leading retail analyst Richard Hyman told the BBC: "This shines a light on something that is going to be happening all the time.
"The problem is that retailers can't just put up their prices and get away with it.
"Oversupply of retailers means that for the past 24 months there has been food price deflation. What makes them think they can just push prices higher?" he added.
Dan Mulhall was giving evidence on a so-called Brexit to the Northern Ireland Affairs Select Committee.
Mr Mulhall is the Irish ambassador in London.
He said a UK withdrawal could led to "some kind of customs controls which would be a negative development for both populations and economies."
Mr Mulhall told MPs that the Republic of Ireland wanted to "preserve the advantages" of its existing trade relationship with the UK, which he said was worth 65bn euros (£50.3m) last year and supported 200,000 jobs in each of the two countries.
"We have a very good set-up, never better than it is today, and we do not want to see anything cut across that," he said
He told MPs that Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny does not believe a Brexit poses a threat to the peace process.
"He was talking about improved British-Irish relations which have developed. If you remove Northern Ireland from the EU it does make a difference," he said.
The 22-year-old's contract with Scottish Premiership side Hearts expired at the end of the 2016-17 season.
Full-back Paterson made over 150 first team appearances for the Tynecastle club.
"I'm absolutely delighted and buzzing to be part of this big club," Paterson said of his move to Cardiff.
"It's nice and early so I've got a lot of time to bed in, get to know my way around the area and introduce myself.
"It's great timing and I'm happy to be here."
London-born Paterson has won five caps for Scotland after making his debut against Italy in May 2016.

Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) staff have been at the site near Hucknall following the accident at about 13:30 BST on Saturday.
Police said the two men were killed when the plane came down near junction 26.
Witnesses said the pilot had swerved to avoid the motorway seconds before.
An AAIB spokesman said the investigation was ongoing and would "take as long as it takes".
Craig Wing, 31, from Clifton, was approaching junction 27 when he saw the aircraft was in trouble.
He said: "It lost control and it just dipped straight down. [The pilot] managed to swerve from the M1 and into the field.
"I've gone straight over to the plane and obviously seen the two people, it was very upsetting.
"I had to do what I had to do. I wanted to try and help."
The nearest runway to where the plane came down is at Hucknall Aerodrome, operated by the Merlin Flying Club and owned by Rolls Royce.
Robert Dawes, from Newthorpe, who lives near to the airfield, said he was walking his dogs when he saw the emergency services in the field.
He said; "It's surprising as not many use [Hucknall Aerodrome] runway anymore. It's not very nice at all.
"It's somewhere I come regular but for the last 30 years I've not witnessed anything like that."
One lane was closed on the M1 southbound following the accident.
In the dramatic late night party leadership ballot, Mr Abbott, who had been plagued by poor opinion polls, received 44 votes to Mr Turnbull's 54.
Mr Turnbull said he assumed that parliament would serve its full term, implying no snap general election.
The new leader will be Australia's fourth prime minister since 2013.
How it all went wrong for Tony Abbott
#PutOutYourOnions for Tony Abbott
The prime minister-elect is expected to be sworn in after Mr Abbott writes to Australia's governor general and resigns.
Earlier on Monday Mr Abbott had dismissed rumours of a leadership challenge as "Canberra gossip" - only to be voted out by his fellow Liberal MPs.
They also voted for Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to remain deputy leader of the party.
Speaking after the result was announced, Mr Turnbull praised his predecessor for his "formidable achievements" as prime minister.
The new party leader said Australia needed to have "the economic vision, a leadership, that explains the great challenges and opportunities we face".
He said he would lead "a thoroughly Liberal government, committed to freedom, the individual and the market".
Who is Malcolm Turnbull?
Profile: Malcolm Turnbull
Ahead of the vote, Mr Turnbull had said if Mr Abbott remained as leader, the coalition government would lose the next election, which is likely to take place next year.
He said he had not taken the decision to launch a leadership challenge lightly, but that it was "clear enough that the government is not successful in providing the economic leadership that we need".
Ms Bishop had supported his bid to become party leader.
The last Australian prime minister to serve a full term was John Howard, who left power in 2007.
Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard was ousted by rival Kevin Rudd in a leadership vote in June 2013 - months before a general election won by Tony Abbott's Liberal Party and its coalition partners the National Party.
Ms Gillard herself had ousted Mr Rudd as prime minister in 2010.
Mr Turnbull had previously been leader of the Liberals while in opposition, but was ousted by Mr Abbott in 2009.
Mr Abbott survived a leadership challenge in February, but his government has consistently been behind the opposition Labor Party in opinion polls.
Australia: Coup capital of the democratic world
Under the Australian system, as in the UK, the prime minister is not directly elected by voters but is the leader of the party or coalition that can command a majority in parliament.
The outgoing prime minister has not spoken publicly since he was voted out by his parliamentary colleagues.
Current opposition leader Bill Shorten tweeted that "Australia does not need another arrogant, out of touch Liberal leader - Australia needs a change of government".
Malcolm Turnbull has always been close to the sources of power, whether it was giving legal advice to Australian media mogul Kerry Packer in the 1980s, or running his own investment bank and later as a partner of Goldman Sachs.
He has now risen to the highest job, a position he has coveted for at least as long as he has been in politics. But that doesn't mean it will be all plain sailing from here.
Mr Turnbull holds views that are at odds with his coalition colleagues, in particular, on climate change, gay marriage and making Australia a republic.
No doubt, deals have been done but it remains to be seen how many compromises the member for Wentworth may have made to win support in Monday's ballot.
The fifth episode of the franchise will be released in July 2019.
The as-yet-untitled film will come 11 years after the most recent Indiana Jones film, 2008's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Ford and Spielberg first worked together on Indiana Jones film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, in 1981.
In the first outing, archaeologist Jones raced around the world to find the Ark of the Covenant before it fell into the hands of the Nazis.
It was followed three years later by Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade coming in 1989.
Ford, also known for his work as Han Solo in the Star Wars films, will be 77 when the new instalment arrives in cinemas.
Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn said: "Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can't wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019.
"It's rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn't be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven."
The four films have made nearly $2bn (£1.41bn) at the box office so far.
Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall are to produce the new film.
Mr Ryan, who ran as Mitt Romney's vice-presidential candidate in 2012, is seen as his party's best hope to elect an effective Congressional leader.
A group of ultra-conservative House members have recently rebelled against party leaders.
House Speaker John Boehner resigned last month under pressure.
Mr Boehner's handpicked successor House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy withdrew from consideration after it was clear he did not have the support of the ultra-conservative bloc known as the Freedom Caucus.
Freedom Caucus, a group of about 30 to 40 members, demanded key concessions from Mr McCarthy. The California representative reportedly said he could not effectively lead the House under those conditions.
The very public party infighting has been seen detrimental to the Republicans' goal of retaining control of Congress and re-taking the White House in 2016.
"We as a conference should unify now," Mr Ryan told reporters on Tuesday after meeting with House Republicans. "What I told members is if you can agree to these requests and if I can truly be a unifying figure, then I will gladly serve, and if I am not unifying, that is fine as well - I will be happy to stay where I am."
Mr Ryan gave his colleagues until Friday to express their support.
Mr Ryan had been reluctant to serve, preferring his role as the chairman of the influential House Way and Means Committee.
He also is the father of three young children and returns home to Wisconsin on weekends to spend time with them.
Mr Boehner spent many of his weekends raising money for fellow Republican representatives. Mr Ryan said on Tuesday that if elected the role will have to change to accommodate his family life.
To run, Mr Ryan also demanded a House procedure known as "motion to vacate the chair" be abandoned.
The motion allows a small group of lawmakers to challenge the Speaker and is a key source of leverage for the Freedom Caucus.
Mr Boehner resigned in part because of this tactic.
It is unclear whether Republicans will unite behind Mr Ryan. At least one conservative called Mr Ryan's demand to end the "motion to vacate the chair" a "non-starter" and others are still uncertain.
"I think he has to campaign for it. We've heard one speech," Congressman Scott Perry of Pennsylvania said on Tuesday. "We're willing to listen but it's the beginning of the conversation as far as I'm concerned."
British Columbia's new NDP government has announced that this season will be the last for trophy hunters.
Hunting grizzlies for meat will still be permitted in all parts of the province except in one rainforest.
The Great Bear Rainforest will have no hunting of any kind, at the request of indigenous groups. About 250 grizzlies are killed each year for meat or sport.
The government had promised to end the hunt during the last election, citing changing public opinion. A poll found that about 90% of British Columbians oppose the trophy hunt.
"By bringing trophy hunting of grizzlies to an end, we're delivering on our commitment to British Columbians," said forestry minister Doug Donaldson in a release.
The ministry estimated that there are about 15,000 grizzlies in the province.
The previous Liberal government had reinstated trophy hunting 16 years ago, prompting an outcry from conservation groups.
The NDP's decision to end the ban is popular with groups that lead bear viewing tours, but unpopular with hunting guides.
"We are not going to be very supportive. We're very worried about the ripple effect it will have on small businesses in rural British Columbia," said the executive director of the Guide Outfitters Association of British Columbia, Scott Ellis.
In 2014, the Center for Responsible Travel published an economic analysis that found that bear viewing in the Great Bear Rainforest generated 12 times more tourism dollars than bear hunting.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the towns of Douma and Saqba in the Ghouta region were hit hard.
Meanwhile, mortars fired by the rebels into government-held parts of Damascus killed three people and wounded 30 others, state media reported.
More than 250,000 people have died in the nearly five-year civil war.
The eastern parts of Damascus have seen some of the heaviest fighting, particularly in recent months.
The Observatory, which gathers information on the war from contacts on the ground, said the eastern suburbs were struck on Sunday by air strikes as well as rocket fire.
It was unclear if the planes that fired the missiles were Syrian or Russian, Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said.
One of the missiles fell near a school in Douma, reportedly killing at least two children and the headteacher.
An AFP photographer at the scene described seeing men carrying children across the dust-covered rubble of destroyed buildings and streets littered with debris and shards of glass.
Syria's state news agency Sana said residential parts of Damascus were subject to a strong sustained volley of mortar fire early on Sunday, shaking people out of bed.
Sana said a child was among the dead, and most of the victims were school students.
More than 11 million people have been forced from their homes since anti-government protests against the regime of Bashar al-Assad in 2011 escalated into a full-scale civil war, with many different factions now fighting for control.
Toomua was shown a yellow card for a tip-tackle in the early stages of Friday's European Champions Cup defeat.
The officials ruled Glasgow's Finn Russell landed on his upper back rather than his head or neck, hence a yellow.
"I thought there was a chance [of being sent off]," Toomua, 26, told BBC Radio 5 live. "To be fair I was lucky he landed on his shoulder."
The Australia international added: "I was pretty embarrassed about it to be honest, and it's not something I am proud of.
"I apologised to the other team, and hopefully it won't happen again."
Toomua avoided further sanction for the incident, and is determined to make amends this weekend against French champions Racing 92.
"I will try to do what I can this weekend to rectify it," he said.
Leicester's 42-13 defeat by the Warriors was the club's record loss in Europe, and the Wallaby says their performance "let quite a few people down".
"It wasn't the start I was hoping for or we were hoping for," added Toomua.
Toomua has relocated to the East Midlands from the Brumbies in Canberra, and says the history and support at Welford Road was a big factor in making the move.
"One of the reasons I came over here was the history of club, the almost fanaticism about it," he said. "People really care about it, and with that comes responsibility."
Toomua has won 33 caps for Australia but is prepared to put his international career on hold in order to focus on life in England.
"I want to have both feet in one camp, and that is Leicester. As far as I'm concerned my Wallaby career is over for the time being," he said.
"Rugby-wise I want to grow, and I want to experience something different, and immerse myself in the English culture."
Meanwhile, Leicester boss Richard Cockerill says he accepts the pressure and criticism that comes with being at one of the biggest clubs in the country.
The Tigers' heavy defeat by Glasgow has led to "a volatile reaction", but after almost 25 years at Welford Road as a player and coach, the former hooker is aware of what comes with the territory.
"I accept it, it was the same in 1992 when I joined as an amateur - we were expected to win," he said.
"I know when we play poorly there is going to be a more volatile reaction. But that's life, I understand that, and you have to take it.
"This is my club, because I played for it. That adds a little bit of responsibility, and a little bit of embarrassment when it doesn't go right.
"It's my fault when the team play like that. I take full responsibility."
Leicester are fourth in the Premiership, having won four of their six league matches so far this season, but after the loss in Scotstoun, Cockerill believes the Tigers "have to win" against Racing.
"We have not played well this season but we are still fourth, and have lost one game in Europe," said the 45-year old.
"It's not as if we are bottom of the league and the club has fallen to bits. It's probably the manner of the defeats that has been a slight issue, and we need to rectify that."
The bank cut its benchmark repo rate to 6.25% from 6.50%.
This was the first interest rate review under the new governor of the bank, Urjit Patel, who took over last month.
While Mr Patel's predecessor was in sole charge of rate setting, this latest cut was decided by the newly formed monetary policy committee.
The Reserve Bank of India did not say how members of the six-strong committee voted.
Mr Patel replaced Raghuram Rajan, who announced he was stepping down earlier this year.
He is known to take a tough line on inflation, which remains one of the big worries in the Indian economy.
The monetary policy meeting was a much-awaited event for the markets for several reasons.
It was Urjit Patel's maiden press conference after taking charge of India's central bank. And secondly, for the first time a six-member committee decided on interest rates rather than the RBI governor alone. The fact that all of them voted unanimously for a rate cut signals a good start for the new decision-making committee.
Interestingly - more than the rate cut - the bigger surprise of the day was the short duration of the press conference, during which Mr Patel took just five questions. This was a stark change compared with previous governors, who would talk to the press for a much longer period.
Many see this as a signal that he wants to keep a low profile, unlike his predecessor, Raghuram Rajan, who was known for his frank interactions and statements.
Shubhada Rao, chief economist of Yes Bank in Mumbai, said the cut was "along expected lines".
"That dominant pressure on headline inflation, mainly food, has begun to ease rapidly, which paved way for the 25 bps rate cut today."
Abheek Barua, chief economist at HDFC Bank in New Delhi agreed there had been a "window of opportunity" to cut rates.
"The sooner they did it the better. I am happy that they did it," he said.
"In fact, unless the pay commission payouts and HRA (House Rent Allowance) allowances, lead to a pick-up in inflation, I think there's room for another rate cut between now and the end of the year."
Consumer inflation fell to a five-month low of 5.05% in August, against the monetary policy committee's target of between 2% and 6%.
It is expected to keep falling in the coming months, following a good monsoon season which brought down food prices.
The committee has been given the task of "maintaining price stability" while also "keeping in mind the objective of growth".
India is one of the fastest expanding economies in the world, even though growth eased back to an annual pace of 7.1% in the March to June quarter, down from 7.9% in the previous three months.
The so-called Swash Channel Wreck was discovered in a sand and shingle bank outside Poole Harbour that was struck by a dredger in 1990.
Its 8.4m (28ft) rudder, carved with the image of a man's face, was lifted onto Poole Quay by Bournemouth University marine archaeologists, at 08:45 BST.
Little is known about the name and origins of the vessel and its crew.
A £450,000 conservation project funded by English Heritage has already seen several parts of the ship raised, including rare examples of carved Baroque woodwork.
Almost 80% of the port side of the Dutch ship survived since it sank early in the 17th Century.
By Stephen StaffordBBC News Online
In the shadow of the modern car ferries bound for France, part of a ship from a very different maritime era was raised out of the murky waters along Poole's quayside.
The ornate carved face on the rudder head is the centre of attention, immediately sprayed with water to prevent it drying out in the sunshine.
The team of marine archaeologists looked on with pride at the culmination to hundreds of hours spent diving the Swash Channel Wreck site.
Next port of call is York for specialist conservation work and hopes that something more can be learnt of the history of this mystery wreck.
The rudder was raised from the wreck site in July and has been kept underwater at Poole's quayside.
It is due to be taken to York for conservation and research work to be carried out on it.
Dave Parham, from Bournemouth University, described it as "spectacular" and said he was relieved it had been brought ashore "in one piece".
"Up to now we could only see a few metres of it underwater," he said.
"Now it's on shore you can see everything in the light - it's huge, it's an incredible sight."
The rudder is the last major piece due to be raised. The wreck has since been covered in sand to protect it from the seawater.
Along with other artefacts, it is due to go on show in Poole Museum in two years time.
The Russian president said they would amount to no-fly zones.
Mr Putin said his US counterpart Donald Trump had told him in a phone call on Tuesday that he supported the idea.
A final decision must be made at Syria talks currently taking place in the Kazakh capital Astana, Mr Putin said.
However, Syrian rebels say they have suspended participation in the Astana talks because of continuing air strikes.
The Russian plan calls for safe zones to be established in rebel-held territory in the north-western province of Idlib, in parts of Homs province in the centre, in the south and in the opposition enclave of Eastern Ghouta near Damascus, the AFP news agency reported citing a copy of the plan.
The safe zones would end violence and allow for the return of refugees and the delivery of aid. They would be surrounded by checkpoints manned by rebels and government troops. Foreign troops could also be deployed in observer roles, the document said.
"One of the ways in which the ceasefire can be made to last is through creating safe zones or de-escalation zones," Mr Putin said, speaking in the Black Sea resort of Sochi after talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"Mr Trump and I discussed this over the phone yesterday. As far as I understood, the US administration supports these ideas.
"Russia has held preliminary consultations with Damascus and Tehran. We all agree that mechanisms must be created to guarantee an end to bloodshed and create conditions for the start of political dialogue."
Mr Putin said aircraft "would not work" in the de-escalation zones "provided there is no military activity in these zones".
Further talks would determine how the safe zones would be controlled, he said.
Steven Kirkwood, 44, stabbed Michael O'Hanlon four times during an incident at HK Autotek garage in Stevenston, North Ayrshire, on 25 July 2016.
The 45-year-old died from blood loss.
Kirkwood was originally charged with murder, but the jury at the High Court in Glasgow unanimously convicted him of the reduced charge of culpable homicide under provocation.
The court heard that the killing was sparked by abusive emails sent by Kirkwood and his former partner Eileen O'Hanlon, who was due to marry Mr O'Hanlon.
Judge Lady Rae told Kirkwood it was "frankly astonishing" to see adults behaving in this way.
She said Kirkwood had challenged Mr O'Hanlon to fight, set the place and the time, and had gone armed with a lethal weapon.
She described how the fight had lasted no more that 30 to 60 seconds, in which time Mr O'Hanlon sustained fatal injuries.
Lady Rae said: "You now, I am told, express some regret for the killing, although somewhat belatedly I suspect that regret is directed more towards your predicament rather than real remorse for what you did.
"As you gave evidence I detected no remorse whatsoever for causing the death of another human being, you seemed intent on placing the blame on everyone else rather than yourself."
Outside court Mr O'Hanlon's niece Haylie O'Hanlon said: "Steven Kirkwood is an evil man. I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life."
The victim's sister Janice O'Hanlon said: "Michael never sent any of those texts. Michael was a big softy. Body-building was his life and if Steven Kirkwood hadn't killed him he would still be competing.
"It chilled me to the bone listening to what he did to Michael."
Mr O'Hanlon's fiancée Eileen O'Hanlon - who changed her name by deed poll to take his surname - was not in court to see Kirkwood sentenced.
Kirkwood claimed that he had acted in self defence after being assaulted by Mr O'Hanlon, from Irvine, and his friend Forbes Cowan, 52, a former competitor in the World's Strongest Man contest.
His QC Derek Ogg said: "Mr Kirkwood has expressed empathy and remorse."
The man and woman, who were visiting from east Asia, were approached by two men at about 13:30 on Saturday outside the Scottish Parliament.
One of the men claimed to be a police officer. He showed them identification and checked their belongings.
The pair later discovered a "four-figure sum" of money had been stolen.
The theft is not thought to be linked to other recent incidents in Scotland involving fake police officers.
Police said the first suspect was east Asian, with a slim to medium build and 5ft 7ins tall. He was 30-35 years old, with short black hair and unshaven.
He was wearing a brown jacket and carrying a black backpack.
The second man is described as white, of medium build, 6ft tall, about 50 years old, with a deep scar on his right cheek.
He spoke with an English accent and was wearing a black beanie hat and a full-length black coat.
Insp David Robertson appealed for witnesses to come forward and said the theft was currently being treated as an "isolated incident".
He added: "Our officers will always be in possession of photographic identification and will be able to provide you with a unique identification number.
"If you are still unsure, please call us on 101 as the call handler can check their credentials for you and officers will be happy to wait until this has been done."
A member of the public had spotted the bird in Maryculter and took it to the Scottish SPCA rescue centre in Drumoak, where the name Decker was chosen.
Local bus operator First Aberdeen has now stepped in to sponsor the bird's care.
It has also presented the white cockerel with its own personalised bus pass.
Suarez, 26, has been told to train alone after seeking a move away from Anfield throughout the summer.
24 April: Banned for 10 games by the Football Association for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.
29 May: Drops a big hint that he wants to leave Liverpool after saying he finds life in England hard.
12 June: Suarez reiterates his love for Liverpool, but insists life in England is very hard.
8 July: Liverpool turn down a £30m bid from Arsenal.
24 July: Arsenal offer £40,000,001 for Suarez, triggering a clause in his contract.
2 August: Says he will consider a formal transfer request and the possibility of court action if his Liverpool dispute is not resolved.
7 August: Suarez says he wants to leave Liverpool to join a Champions League side.
8 August: Told to train alone by manager Brendan Rodgers, who says the player has shown "total disrespect" for the club.
8 August: Liverpool owner John W Henry insists striker Luis Suarez will not be sold this summer - no matter what the price.
Arsenal have had two bids rejected for the Uruguayan, with Liverpool owner John W Henry saying it would be "ludicrous" to sell to their rivals.
"There will come a point where he'll recognise the club is not going to sell," Rodgers said.
Suarez has agitated for a switch since the end of last season, admitting in May that it would be "difficult to say no" to a move to Real Madrid when speaking to a Uruguayan radio station.
The only official interest in him thus far has come from Arsenal, however, with their latest offer of a pound over £40m being turned down.
That deal had been expected to trigger a release clause in the contract by the player, with Suarez going on to tell the Guardian and Daily Telegraph he had been promised he could leave Liverpool this summer if they did not qualify for the Champions League.
Both Rodgers and Henry have dismissed that assertion.
Speaking ahead of a friendly against Celtic in Dublin on Saturday, the Liverpool manager again reiterated his club's position that there is "no inclination to sell".
"We're quite calm," Rodgers said. "The club is in control of the situation.
"We've got no inclination to sell and we've been strong on that."
Suarez has excelled since arriving at Anfield in January 2011 from Ajax for £22.7m, scoring 51 goals in 96 appearances.
Despite the furore surrounding him, Rodgers was convinced Suarez would continue his excellent form for Liverpool if forced to stay.
"He's a world-class striker. I've got no question that when he's back he'll have a similar impact," the 40-year-old said.
Rodgers also stated Suarez would return to training with his team-mates once his approach improved.
"It's been a difficult period for him but it's my job to protect the group," he said. "Once he's back with the spirit he'll rejoin the group."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reacted to Liverpool's vow that they will not let Suarez leave by stating he will continue his pursuit of the player in "a respectful and amicable way".
"There is nothing to add to what I said already about the transfer of Suarez," he said. "If it will be done, it will be done in a respectful and amicable way with Liverpool.
"I didn't read [Henry's] statements but we'll be faithful to the way we want to behave.
"We are looking at possibilities to strengthen our squad. Suarez is one of the targets. If he's not for sale, he's not for sale. We have to accept that."
Mr Bradley, from Kilrea, County Londonderry, was killed after his car crashed into a wall and plunged into a reservoir near Castlewellan.
SDLP MLA John Dallat who taught at Ryan's old school said there was disbelief and shock in the community.
"This was the tragic loss of a very good young man who was extremely popular with everyone," Mr Dallat said.
"He had friends in all communities and across Ireland."
Mr Bradley was in his 20s and was a member of Magherafelt and District Motor Club.
Its chairman, James McKeefry, who was also taking part in the rally, said the club was devastated.
"I was competing with another crew at the event when I received the word," he said.
"We went immediately out to be with Ryan's friends and family. It is devastating for anybody that knew Ryan and anyone from a rallying background. It is just devastatingly sad and we will try and help everyone through it."
The rally began just before 10:00 BST on Saturday from the centre of Castlewellan.
About 70 crews headed the short distance to the first test at Lough Island Reavy and were due to go to Katesbridge, before returning to Castlewellan Forest Park for service.
The accident happened as Mr Bradley was taking part in the first stage of the event at about 11:30 BST.
He had been driving the car.
Police divers recovered Mr Bradley's body. His co-driver was taken to hospital, but he was not thought to be seriously injured. The event was subsequently cancelled.
In a statement, the organisers of Down Rally, Rathfriland Motor Club, said: "The thoughts of Rathfriland Motor Club, and everyone involved with the event are with the family and friends of the deceased at this time.
"As with all incidents of this nature, an investigation is now being carried out by the PSNI and appropriate local authority.
"Rathfriland Motor Club together with the sport's governing body, the Motor Sports Association (MSA), are co-operating fully with the investigation."
The Education Funding Agency (EFA) announced on Monday it was terminating the group's funding.
It cited serious concerns about the management and governance of the trust.
But Sir Greg Martin told BBC Radio 5 Live Investigates the withdrawal of funding had "no legal basis".
The Durand Academy Trust (DAT) runs an infant and junior school in Stockwell, south London, and a boarding school for older pupils in Midhurst, West Sussex.
It has more than 1,000 pupils at its three sites and received £17m from the government to set up the school for weekly boarders in 2014.
The trust owns the schools, while a charity owns the land on which the schools are built, and two private companies provide services from the school.
The EFA, which supports building and maintenance programmes for schools, academies, free schools and sixth-form colleges, says the trust has failed to clearly separate the academy, the Durand Academy Trust, from its charitable arm the Durand Education Trust (DET) and two other businesses - London Horizons Limited and GMG Resource Management.
It wants to ensure no director of the trust that runs the school is also a director of one of the private companies.
Sir Greg, who founded the Academy Trust and is the current chair of the trust's board of governors, said it had taken "very clear legal advice" as to whether there was a conflict of interest between the three separate parts of the trust and was told there was not.
He added that when the EFA wrote to the trust in July outlining its concerns, the trust responded and provided that legal advice but had heard nothing back.
However, according to the EFA Sir Greg is a director and sole shareholder of GMG Resource Management and DAT entered into a contract with GMG Resource Management when he was both executive head teacher at DAT and a trustee at DET.
In the letter to Sir Greg the EFA added: "The terms of the 2012 GMG contract were not market-tested or put out to tender (despite advice from the EFA that they should be), but were substantially those proposed by Sir Greg Martin."
It has also demanded £1.8m is paid back to the academy trust from the charity - the Education Trust - where it has been sitting in its bank account since at least February 2015.
It has also called for Sir Greg to resign or to be removed as chair of governors.
But Sir Greg said: "There isn't a conflict of interest that has been identified on any occasion. Let's ask the EFA what the conflict of interest is because they haven't told us."
He added: "We have been told we have failed to comply [with demands from the EFA] but if we are being asked to comply with something that we shouldn't or can't comply with then of course we won't comply."
In the letter to Sir Greg, EFA chief executive Peter Lauener said there had been "repeated and significant" breaches of the terms of the funding agreement.
The letter, dated 11 October, said the academy trust had failed to comply with six out of eight requirements set out by the EFA.
The letter also questions why the academy has been charged for the use of a leisure centre, on one of its own sites, by its pupils.
Forensic Science Regulator Gillian Tully said some police forces were not committed to meeting the required standards, and there was a significant risk of DNA contamination.
She wants statutory powers to enforce standards "as soon as possible".
The National Police Chiefs Council said it had secured extra funding.
The government's Forensic Science Service was closed in 2012. Since the closure, forensic science work has been carried out by private firms and police laboratories
This is the third time in two years that serious concerns have been raised about the work, with other critical reports from the National Audit Office and MPs on the Science and Technology Committee.
In her second annual report, Dr Tully said the main challenge to achieving standards had been financial, and called on police forces and the Legal Aid Agency to make more funding available.
"Otherwise we will face the costs, both in criminal justice terms and financially, of quality failures and loss of confidence in forensic science."
She cited "concerning" contamination-related issues in police custody and at Sexual Assault Referral Centres, which provide support for alleged victims of rape and sexual assault.
She said a rape investigation had been compromised after samples taken from an alleged victim were found to be contaminated with DNA from an unrelated case. An inquiry is under way.
She also referred to the case of Stephen Port - the serial killer guilty of murdering four young men by poisoning them with lethal doses of a date rape drug.
DNA testing had not taken place in the third murder case, that of Daniel Whitworth, as recommended by the pathologist, because police did not believe anyone else was involved.
She said: "Whilst there is no suggestion that forensic science was not conducted properly in this case, there is a question to answer regarding commissioning decisions, which has been referred to the regulator for consideration."
She said there was a timetable for forensic science activities within policing to comply with the regulator's code of practice.
But she said not all police forces were "fully committed" to reaching the required standards, with some failing to recognise the impact of failures in the area.
She also said few organisations would reach the standard for digital forensics - which covers communications data, like mobile phones and emails - by October 2017, as set out in the timetable.
"The standards are not an unachievable 'gold-plated' ideal - they are the minimum standards expected of any reliable forensic science," she said.
Forensic science carried out by instruction from defence lawyers had also been under financial pressure because of the current legal aid funding, she said.
There was a risk that some forensic medical examiners being commissioned did not have the required level of training and qualification.
And there was a risk of incorrect classifications by investigators who classify firearms to establish whether they were illegal weapons, she said.
The government has committed to giving the regulator statutory powers to enforce standards by the end of this Parliament.
Dr Tully told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that she had been calling for the powers "for some time", but the process had been "very slow" and she wants them in place "as soon as possible".
Debbie Simpson, the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for forensic science, said the police were "committed" to improving standards and had secured more funding from the Police Transformation Fund.
Dr Tully's report had highlighted "key priority areas" for the police, she said.
"Nationally, we will continue to work in partnership with forces, forensic service providers and the forensic regulator to deliver the forensic strategy and respond to the challenges faced by the service."
The government has already launched a review of the internal governance of forensic science, said policing minister Brandon Lewis.
He said: "Controlling the quality of evidence is critical to reducing the risk of miscarriages of justice and criminal trials collapsing, as well as maintaining public confidence in the system."
He said he fully supported the timetable the regulator had set out, and said this must be met by all organisations providing forensic services.
Boulahcen was born and grew up in Clichy-la-Garenne, a suburb close to Saint-Denis, but is of Moroccan descent.
She was the daughter of Moroccan immigrants who moved to France in the early 1970s, according to local media.
Police had been tapping her phone as part of a drugs investigation and tracked her to the Saint-Denis flat following last week's deadly attacks in Paris.
She was seen leading Abaaoud - thought to be her cousin - into a building the night before the raid.
The circumstances of her death are unclear, with French officials contradicting initial reports that she had detonated a suicide vest during the raid.
Those who knew her say she had a troubled upbringing in foster care.
One woman, who said Boulahcen's mother sometimes looked after her children, told the BBC: "She had a sad childhood. There were problems in the family."
But even those who best knew Boulahcen never thought she would become radicalised.
"I never saw her open the Koran. She was permanently on her phone, looking at Facebook or WhatsApp," her brother said.
"I told her to stop all this, but she would not listen. She told me I was not her dad, or her husband."
It is unclear when Boulahcen began having extremist thoughts. Her brother admitted he had not spoken to her properly for five years.
However, she called him two days after the attacks.
"On Sunday at 7pm she called me because I had called her - and she sounded like she had given up on life.
"On the rare occasions I spoke to her it was to tell her to behave better, to have a better attitude, to be more easy-going about her strict dress code."
Boulahcen is thought to have started wearing a full face veil a year ago.
During that time, she began posting extremist thoughts on Facebook. In one post, she expresses sympathy for Hayat Boumedienne, the widow of a gunman in the Charlie Hebdo attacks.
She even went as far as posting about her plans to go to Syria, but friends did not believe her.
"We thought it was to impress people," said Khemissa, who went to school with her.
"We never thought she would go ahead with it. We thought it was to make people talk."
Even at school Boulahcen was a "model kid", she said.
"She went to school, she got good grades, we went to dance class together.
"I think she must have been drugged. She must have taken substances. She was not in a normal state, otherwise she wouldn't have done that."
Boulahcen was registered as the manager of a construction company, Beko Construction, which liquidated in 2014.
She left her mother's flat three weeks ago and went to live with a friend in Drancy, north-east Paris, where one of the gunmen lived.
In a clip filmed by a local resident of Wednesday morning's raid, a police officer can be heard shouting: "Where is your boyfriend?" to which a female voice responds: "He's not my boyfriend!"
Boulahcen's mother told AFP she recognised the voice as her daughter's, adding: "It's brainwashing".
Fabbrini has Championship experience with his parent club, as well as playing 17 games on loan at Millwall and Birmingham City last season.
The 24-year-old broke his nose playing for Blues, an injury which forced him to wear a protective facemask.
Fabbrini's move ends any hopes that Blues boss Gary Rowett had of bringing him back on loan to St Andrew's.
The Italy international, whose sole appearance came against England in 2012, joined Watford from Udinese.
Boro also hope to complete a deal to sign striker Christian Stuani from Espanyol this week.

A little over a year ago, the RNLI lifeboat sailed out of the harbour at St Abbs for the final time.
It brought to an end a service which the popular Berwickshire diving spot had enjoyed for more than a century.
However, local fundraising and a large donation from Boyd Tunnock have seen a new boat officially launched.
It is a day the lifeboat crew could hardly have believed would be possible just 12 months ago.
It appeared then that cover would be provided from the nearby station at Eyemouth.
Nonetheless, people like coxswain Paul Crowe never gave up hope of raising the hundreds of thousands of pounds needed to buy their own boat and run their own service.
"We have had a lifeboat for 112 years and we basically need one," he said.
"We are at the heart of the diving community on the east coast of Britain as far as I'm concerned.
"A fast response is undoubtedly needed here."
A modern lifeboat does not come cheap and a local campaign estimated it would need up to ??500,000 to get one up and running.
The community rallied round at a series of fundraising events and other donations were received to make gradual progress towards the ambitious target.
Then, in November last year, a successful businessman and keen sailor suddenly accelerated matters.
Boyd Tunnock, owner of the famous teacake and caramel wafer makers, sent a donation of ??10,000 which led to further talks with campaigners.
He subsequently agreed to put up ??250,000 if they agreed to name the boat the Thomas Tunnock in honour of both his grandfather and late brother.
It meant the service was able to return to the waters off St Abbs much sooner than expected.
The boat has already been in operation but the official launch took place on Saturday, attended by Mr Tunnock and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
It was the conclusion of an emotional journey for local residents.
"Everybody was over the moon when the new boat arrived," said Mr Crowe. "The whole village turned out."
He said the boat was capable of the swift response necessary for any emergency call-outs in the area.
"It is an animal, for the want of a better description," he said.
"It can do 45 knots without thinking about it."
Mr Tunnock was on hand to see the result of his donation at the special launch and celebration of the boat's arrival.
Without his contribution, it might have taken quite a bit longer for the community's dream to be realised.
As he said at the time of making his commitment, ??250,000 translates to a "lot of caramel wafers".
But what it has brought to St Abbs certainly tastes sweet to those who feared they might never see a lifeboat based in their village again.
The 35-year-old prop, who joined Quins in the summer of 2015, will become assistant forwards coach, working alongside Graham Rowntree.
Jones won 95 caps for Wales between 2003 and 2014, and featured five times for the British & Irish Lions.
He has made 22 appearances since his move to the Twickenham Stoop.
"Adam has had an enormous impact in his brief time at Harlequins," director of rugby John Kingston told the club website.
"He has set tremendously high standards of professionalism which are providing an inspirational example to others. I have no doubt Adam will continue to prove a terrific asset in his dual role."
Quins have not disclosed the length of Jones' new deal.
He left a rucksack with explosives which failed to detonate in November, and put another explosive device by the town hall a few days later, they say.
But a member of the public alerted the police, and no-one was injured.
The 12 year old - who is now in custody - is thought have been recently radicalised and to have links with the so-called Islamic State group.
Focus magazine cited security and judicial sources as saying the boy was "strongly radicalised" and apparently instructed by an unknown IS member.
The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office declined to comment on a possible IS link, but confirmed officials were investigating the case.
Public Prosecutor Hubert Stroeber said the boy left a backpack containing a home-made nail bomb at the Christmas market in Ludwigshafen, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, on 26 November, but the device did not go off because the detonator apparently failed.
The second device near the city's town hall, placed on 5 December, was discovered by an "informant" and specialists defused it, Mr Stroeber said.
The boy was born in Ludwigshafen to Iraqi parents in 2004.
Prosecutors said no formal proceedings would be launched against him, because he is below the age of criminal responsibility.
Last Thursday, German police arrested two teenagers aged 15 and 17, accused of plotting a terror attack on a public institution in Aschaffenburg, in north-western Bavaria. Police found Islamic State flags and propaganda material in their homes.
Germany suffered a spate of attacks in the south of the country over the summer.
Ten people were killed and dozens more injured in separate gun, bomb, axe and machete attacks.
The authorities say they were not linked, and one of them was not terror-related.
But the wave of violence has made a nation already on edge after a huge influx of refugees even more nervous.

Shuang Wang scored twice for China before Chelsea forward Aluko notched her 33rd international goal with a low finish from the left side of the box.
Midfielder Jill Scott went close after half-time while her Manchester City team-mate, keeper Karen Bardsley, saved to prevent England conceding a third.
England play Australia on 27 October.
England are ranked fifth in the world, 10 places above China who they beat 2-1 in the build-up to last summer's World Cup, where they reached the semi-finals.
Coach Mark Sampson gave a first start to Chelsea's Gilly Flaherty and Drew Spence and Laura Coombs also made their international debuts as second-half substitutes in Yongchuan.
Aluko did have a chance to equalise Wang's opening strike but failed to convert after being set-up by Lianne Sanderson, dragging her shot wide.
England's other opportunity of note fell to Izzy Christiansen but the Manchester City player failed to get a clean connection on Lucy Bronze's cut-back.

The country had initially been fending off boats but has since agreed to provide them with temporary shelter.
Over 3,000 people, mostly Bangladeshi or Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, have arrived in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand in the past two weeks.
The UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, has called on South-East Asian nations to do more to protect migrants.
"It's important to save human lives. Whatever the reasons may be when they are out on the sea, their life is endangered," Mr Ban said in a speech in Vietnam.
The Indonesian operation covers their territorial waters and beyond, although they have not yet found any migrant boats.
"If they [the rescuers] see Rohingya boats experiencing various troubles beyond our territory, we have to help so that they can enter Indonesian territory, which initially I did not want to do," said General Moeldoko, the head of Indonesia's Armed Forces.
"But with the president's order, it is very clear we have to do it."
Myanmar and Malaysia launched similar operations on Friday. Thailand only said it would stop rejecting boats.
Myanmar (also known as Burma) has carried out its first rescue, finding more than 200 people they described as Bengalis crammed into the hull of a fishing boat.
Officials said the men would be deported to Bangladesh, with the country insisting only verified Myanmar citizens will be allowed to stay.

The 53-year-old was diving for fun off Formentera, a Spanish island near Ibiza, when she failed to surface.
Search efforts have been continuing but it is feared she may have been caught up in strong underwater currents.
Her passion for freediving - diving while holding one's breath -"burned so deep inside of her that she dedicated her life to it", her family said.
She was a competitive swimmer as a young woman but left the sport to have a family, going on to take up freediving some 20 years later.
She became "the most decorated competitive freediver in the world", with 41 world records, said her family and the global freediving federation AIDA in a joint statement.
"Natalia trained hard for her sport, she had a nine-minute breath hold, could dive to a depth of 101m [331ft] using a fin and swim a distance of 234m with a fin."
She was also the creator and current president of the Freediving Federation of Russia and "has created one of the most vibrant recreational freediving communities in the world".
An underwater robot, helicopter, boat and divers have all been deployed to look for Ms Molchanova but to no avail.
Stephen Whelan, a freediving commentator and friend of Ms Molchanova's for 12 years, said it was "absolutely terrible, shocking news".
Ms Molchanova had been diving at 30-40m - "well within her depth range", he said. "The area is known for strong currents, so she would have been aware of it, but the sea is unpredictable so no matter how you train... if you get caught in strong currents and it takes you in the wrong direction, there's not much you can do."
Mr Whelan called Ms Molchanova "amazing".
"She came on the scene pretty much out of nowhere in 2003. She went on and she set - almost consistently, every year - about two or three world records, individually herself or in a team competition. It was phenomenal, we haven't seen a freediver like her, ever in the sport."
Ms Molchanova had two grown-up children, son Alexey - himself a champion freediver - and daughter Oksana.

It is 25 years since the event was first held and much of the focus was on the campaign to introduce same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland.
Rick Faragher reports for BBC Newsline.
Shortly after Jane and Alan Slater's numbers came up in the draw on 29 September, their dog Ruby disturbed another forgotten ticket in their car.
It was tucked in a catalogue in the car and flew out when Ruby and a second family dog jumped in after a walk.
The two tickets, for the same draw, were each worth £149,089.30.
Mrs Slater, a hospital catering assistant, said: "We had a lovely walk... chatting about the amazing start to the week with our Euromillions win and how lucky we had been.
"As we got back in the car to head home, Ruby hopped on to the back seat with me and disturbed this piece of paper inside a catalogue which gently floated down to my feet.
"I really can't explain the way this piece of paper floated, it was like you see in slow motion in films, as though someone wanted me to notice it."
The ticket was discovered on the labrador retriever's second birthday.
Mr Slater said: "We both burst into tears when we saw the second ticket was also a winner. It all happened in such a magical way, what with Ruby disturbing the ticket on her birthday and it floating so gently right in front of Jane's eyes."
Mrs Slater said they bought tickets for several draws. Her husband had bought the second ticket not realising she had already done so.
She said the winning numbers - 11, 14, 26, 29, 49 and Lucky Star number three - are the same numbers they have used for 20 years of playing lotteries.
Mr Slater, 65, a customer relations manager for Wightlink Ferries, said the win will mean he can retire a few months earlier than planned.
Ruby and the couple's other dog, border collie Kai, will also be getting some extra treats, Mr and Mrs Slater said.
Gareth Bale could have been the hero again but struck his free-kick over the bar as the home game against Israel ended goalless.
Centre-back Ashley Williams was a rock in the heart of the defence once again.
So how did the Wales players fare overall? BBC Wales Sport's Dafydd Pritchard runs the rule over the players on duty in Cardiff.
Had precious little to do as Israel spent almost the entire match in their own half.
Another assured display from the Fulham defender who has made the right wing-back role his own. Sound on the ball and solid defensively.
Seldom tested defensively, the Reading player was efficient in possession and played his part in a fifth straight clean sheet for Wales.
Led Wales with typical coolness and authority, intercepting any rare dangerous passes a pragmatic Israeli side mustered.
Like Gunter, the Tottenham man was hardly troubled by Israel and was his usual calm self in possession.
Pushed forward to offer Wales width on the left flank, combining well with Ramsey and the other midfielders as the hosts dominated early on.
An industrious display at the base of the Welsh midfield, denying Israel possession and using the ball wisely.
Offered an attacking threat with his runs into the Israeli penalty area but might be disappointed not to have converted either of his clear scoring opportunities.
Wales' most influential player as they dominated possession, the Arsenal playmaker looked the most likely to carve Israel's defence open.
Started well and worked exceptionally hard as he always does, but lacked the cutting edge when he found himself in space in the Israeli box.
A relatively subdued display from the Real Madrid forward, although he always kept Israel's defenders on their toes.
Buzzed with energy as he came on for the similarly busy Robson-Kanu and was denied a dramatic injury-time winner as his header was from an offside position.
Impact was limited by the brevity of his appearance, though he competed well in the air.
Cathal McShane's second half goal proved the decisive score for a Red Hand side that trailed for much of a gripping contest.
Tyrone had reached the decider by beating Roscommon in the semi-finals.
Tipperary's ability to move the ball quickly had the Ulster champions under pressure right from the start.
Kevin O'Halloran and Ian Fahey shot early points, but Tyrone went level through Mark Bradley and Conor Meyler.
The Munster champions led by 0-3 to 0-2 by the end of the opening quarter, and pushed three points ahead when O'Halloran added another couple to his tally.
Bradley and Michael Cassidy kept the Red Hands in touch, but they trailed by 0-7 to 0-5 at the interval.
After a lengthy delay due to a medical emergency in the crowd, Tyrone drew level through Lee Brennan in the 37th minute.
Tipp responded with scores from O'Halloran and Josh Keane, but a brilliant 47th minute goal from McShane gave the Ulster champions the lead for the first time.
Danny McNulty and Mark Kavanagh arrowed over points for a three points lead, and they survived a late flourish which produced two scores from the excellent Colin O'Riordan.
Tyrone scorers: C McShane 1-0, D McNulty 0-3 (3f), L Brennan (2f), M Bradley, M Kavanagh 0-2 each, C Meyler, M Cassidy 0-1 each.
Tipperary scorers: K O'Halloran 0-6 (5f), J Keane 0-3 (1f), C O'Riordan 0-2 (1f), B Maher, I Fahey 0-1 each.
Tyrone: S Fox, R Mullan, P Hampsey, C McLaughlin, M Cassidy. R Brennan, K McGeary, F Burns, C McShane, C Meyler, M Kavanagh, M Walsh, L Brennan, D McNulty, M Bradley

Maung Saungkha, 24, was charged with online defamation for posting the short fictional poem on Facebook.
He will be released as he has already been held for more than six months.
The incident is the latest in a series of prosecutions in Myanmar, also known as Burma, for comments made by citizens on social media.
Last year, a woman was jailed for six months for mocking the country's army chief on Facebook.
There had been fears the annual negotiation over how much fish could be caught would result in big cuts for Northern Ireland.
But the deal means 480 extra tonnes of prawns and 160 extra tonnes of haddock will be available.
The extra prawns are worth about £1m and the haddock about £170,000.
The European Commission had proposed cuts to the quotas of both species.
Fish producers described the outcome as a "dramatic and justified U-turn".
They had argued that the commission's own scientists had found haddock was abundant in the Irish Sea.
Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill said she was "delighted" at the outcome and it would help local fishermen develop a more balanced fishing economy.
The overall size of the quotas have been increased this year.
That is to take account of a new European regulation called the landings' obligation, that applies to both prawns and haddock.
It means fish that might have been thrown overboard in previous years now must be landed.
That rule is due to take effect from 1 January 2016.
The total value of the of the Irish Sea quotas held by the Northern Ireland fleet is now more than £15m.
An exemption to the landings' obligation has been negotiated which means that undersized prawns which can't be sold for food, can continue to be discarded.
The 7% limit is expected to cover all the undersized prawns caught by the fleet.

The 34-year-old former England captain has agreed an 18-month contract with Bryan Redpath's side.
Sinfield was made skipper of the Rhinos in 2002 at the age of 22.
"My entire adult life has been spent at Leeds Rhinos and I am extremely grateful for all the support I have had over the past two decades," he said.
"This was one of the toughest decisions of my career but I know the time is right for me to finish my time in rugby league and embark on a new challenge with Yorkshire Carnegie.
"I never wanted to play against the Rhinos and throughout my career I have always had an admiration for rugby union and wanted to challenge myself in that code.
"I am fortunate as a professional player in this era that opportunities like this exist for me and it is something I want to grab with both hands."
The Oldham-born stand-off made his debut for the Rhinos in 1997 at the age of 16 and has gone on to lead them to six Grand Final wins, three World Club Challenge successes and one Challenge Cup victory.
He was awarded an MBE in 2014.
Sinfield is the second Rhinos legend to announce his departure from the club in the past week, after prop Jamie Peacock revealed he would be joining Hull KR as football manager at the end of the current Super League campaign.
Yorkshire Carnegie executive president Sir Ian McGeechan added: "I have admired Kevin Sinfield as both a player and an individual for many years. His professionalism, attitude and commitment are top class.
"I am sure he will be a great addition to our squad for next season and his goal-kicking record speaks for itself."
Carnegie, who last played in the top flight in 2011, recently appointed former Scotland captain Redpath as their new head coach and currently sit sixth in the Championship.
There has been concern over women in the Northern Isles having to travel to Aberdeen for examinations.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson announced NHS Education Scotland (NES) would receive £76,000.
This will be used to review training and fund up to 50 places for doctors to complete the accredited course.
Speaking in Shetland, Mr Matheson said: "It is vitally important that we do all we can to ensure that the process of gathering evidence of rape or sexual assault doesn't cause more trauma to victims.
"I am pleased to hear first-hand the actions that NHS Shetland, Rape Crisis Scotland and others are taking to address a lack of provision in island communities.
"Making this training more accessible and this new funding for doctors to become qualified to carry out these examinations will mean that victims should no longer have to travel to the mainland for evidence to be taken."
Earlier this year, an independent watchdog strongly criticised the way victims of sexual assaults in Scotland were treated by police and the NHS.
The inspector of constabulary (HMICS) said services offered to some victims were "unacceptable" and lagged behind the rest of the UK, with many victims being examined in police stations.
Play workshops in Caerphilly and Conwy will benefit, along with a new nursery in Wrexham and clubs in Cardiff.
It will also pay for staff training and places at centres which provide care for children with autistic spectrum disorder in Pembrokeshire.
The Welsh government said it would help address gaps in childcare provision.
It comes a few months after the Family and Childcare Trust claimed just 5% of Wales' 22 councils had sufficient out-of-school activities for 12-to-14-year-olds.
Its report said Welsh councils also lagged behind those in England and Scotland in having enough holiday childcare and said finding decent, affordable care for school-age children was "down to luck" for many families.
Announcing the funding, Communities Minister Lesley Griffiths said childcare played a central role in improving children's well-being and reducing inequalities.
It also ensures parents can work and do further training, she said.
David McAllister, adviser to Chancellor Angela Merkel on the negotiations with the UK, said some of the UK's other EU reform proposals looked achievable.
But the benefits limit risks violating EU non-discrimination rules, he said.
The UK is to hold an in/out referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017.
Restricting the rights of EU workers in the UK, such as tax credits, is an especially thorny issue. Poland in particular - with a large diaspora working in the UK - has voiced strong opposition.
Freedom of movement for EU workers is a core value of the 28-nation bloc, and national restrictions can be challenged in the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
Mr McAllister said the four-year qualification period for British in-work benefits, such as tax credits, was the trickiest part of the reform package put forward by Mr Cameron.
And "we cannot have quotas for EU workers", he stressed.
But he said there was understanding in Germany regarding UK concerns about abuse of the benefits system by some migrants.
The son of a British civil servant who was based in Berlin, Mr McAllister is an MEP for Mrs Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU). He was speaking in London, as a guest of the Association of European Journalists.
Reducing the incentives for EU migrants to move to the UK is seen as a way to cut immigration - something that Mr Cameron has pledged to do.
In the year to March 2015, net migration to the UK reached an all-time high of 330,000, of whom 183,000 were EU citizens.
Speaking in Bulgaria on Friday, Mr Cameron said changing the way the EU operated was "hard, it takes time".
"I expect us to have a full discussion in December but it is going to take longer to get the deal that Britain wants, that Britain needs," he said.
"I want to get the substance right before we hold our referendum and I am fighting like mad to get that done."
EU leaders will meet on 17-18 December, but their discussions are expected to focus on Europe's migrant crisis and terrorism threat.
European Council President Donald Tusk said the summit "should pave the way for a deal in February" for the UK. He said he would be writing to all EU leaders on Monday with his assessment of Britain's proposals.
Besides the restrictions on EU migrants' benefits Mr Cameron's other key demands are:

The Paisley side need one point from their final game against Hibernian on Saturday to achieve safety.
St Mirren's form since the turn of the year has seen them climb off the bottom of the table, and Ross is hopeful he can retain the majority of his squad.
"I believe [this] group would challenge at the right end of the table, where the club should be," Ross said.
"When you look back over the last 20 games, we would be a point off second - that is evidence to suggest that they would [challenge for the Championship title]."
Ross succeeded Alex Rae as manager in October last year, with St Mirren two points adrift of Dumbarton at the bottom of the table and yet to register a win in the league.
It was December before they won their first Championship match of the season, but later that month they were still nine points behind second bottom Dunfermline.
Following a busy January transfer window - with 10 players arriving and 10 players departing - Ross began to turn St Mirren's fortunes around and based on the last eight games, they are the form side in the Championship, sitting two points clear of Raith Rovers who are in the relegation play-off position.
"Again the summer will be a testing period for us in terms of retaining players. Because there are a number of young players, their performance levels will mean they attract attention from other clubs and bigger clubs," Ross said.
"My ambition is to retain as much of the squad as I possibly can. I don't think I have to do an awful lot to it.
"I don't really want to do what I did in January, I don't want to have to make as many changes as I did. I would like to never have to do that again in my whole managerial career. It was a big challenge, and a gamble to an extent.
"Hopefully we can finish the job this season. Hopefully the summer will be a fairly stable period and we can carry this momentum into next season as well."
If St Mirren were to fail to get a point against champions Hibs, and Raith Rovers managed to get a win against bottom side Ayr United this weekend, there is still a chance St Mirren could find themselves embroiled in the play-offs.
However Ross insists that if the worst was to happen and St Mirren dropped down into League One, the club would still retain its full-time status.
"In terms of that structure it would remain the same," he said. "From several months ago, when that looked like it might be the case, obviously you have to have discussions with the board.
"The club would retain its current structure [but] it would be a blow in terms of revenue generated.
"However, there are other big clubs that have had to do that in recent years. So I don't think it would be the hammer blow that people would think in the overall structure of the club; in terms of the club's pride and where it should be, it would be a massive blow."
St Mirren may only require one point on Saturday, but Ross insists that his side will arrive at Easter Road with a very positive approach.
"I don't think we are a squad that is set up to not try and win games, we have a strength in attacking areas, scored a large number of goals recently - I think in April alone we scored 20 goals," Ross said.
"We understand there will be times in the game when we will be on the back foot, where we will be dominated in terms of territory because we are going to the home of the champions.
"But that group of players believe they are capable of going anywhere in this league at the moment and winning matches, so it is important for me to buy into that as manager and not dilute that in any way."
Karl Stefanovic wore the outfit to make a point about the sexism he said his female colleagues faced.
"No-one has noticed," he said. "But women, they wear the wrong colour and they get pulled up. They say the wrong thing and there's thousands of tweets written about them."
Stefanovic is a presenter on Today, the breakfast show on Channel Nine.
The 40-year-old, who has been a presenter and reporter for nearly two decades, has also participated in a variety of celebrity gameshows in Australia, including their versions of Dancing on Ice and Hole in the Wall.
He told The Age newspaper that his co-host, Lisa Wilkinson gets regular messages from viewers and comments in the press about her fashion choices.
"Women are judged much more harshly and keenly for what they do, what they say and what they wear," said Stefanovic.
"I've worn the same suit on air for a year - except for a couple of times because of circumstance - to make a point.
"I'm judged on my interviews, my appalling sense of humour - on how I do my job, basically. Whereas women are quite often judged on what they're wearing or how their hair is."
He started his experiment by wearing the suit two days in a row, without a comment. He then carried on for days and then months when he realised no-one was noticing.
"Only Lisa and [Today team member Sylvia Jeffreys] know about the suit. They often remark that it's getting a bit stinky," said Stefanovic.
"I'm hoping to get it into the dry cleaners at the end of the year."

The communities, equality and local government committee said the cash was crucial to continue making "high quality content for Wales".
AMs examining the potential impact on Wales of BBC charter renewal negotiations said the BBC had fallen short of its obligations in Wales.
BBC Wales said it was looking at the recommendations.
First Minister Carwyn Jones previously said BBC Wales should be given an extra £30m to make TV programmes that properly reflect the people of Wales.
A report from the committee supported the Welsh government's call.
It said: "We believe that this investment is crucial for high-quality content for Wales to continue to be made."
Committee chairwoman Christine Chapman said: "It is about a greater diversity of programmes. We feel at the moment it could be rather narrow."
The report said Welsh audiences consumed a greater proportion of BBC services than those in other nations and regions of the UK.
A lack of plurality in the media in Wales means the public "is dependent on the BBC to a greater degree than the rest of the UK", particularly with news.
The report said: "Given this unique position, it is incumbent on the BBC to ensure that its output reflects the diversity of Welsh life and culture.
"It is in this regard that we believe the BBC has fallen short of its obligations."
It also called for a move to a federal structure, with greater power and responsibility transferred to BBC Wales enabling it to have greater editorial control over commissioning and decision-making.
The committee said, given the scale of the funding cuts to date, future funding for S4C was at a minimum, sustained at current levels.
In a statement, BBC Wales said: "This is a comprehensive report, which covers a number of important themes and subjects relating to broadcasting in Wales and we will be looking closely at the recommendations over the coming months."

Now she's on a new mission to inspire kids to get healthy in the kitchen.
What the children at one school in Sheffield didn't know, was that Nicola was about to surprise them and take on one of their cookery lessons.
Jenny went along to the school to catch their reaction.
The child was among 20 confirmed cases of infection - detected between 2 and 15 July - 11 of whom had received hospital treatment.
Health officials are investigating possible links to Dunsyre blue cheese, which is made with unpasteurised milk.
South Lanarkshire-based Errington Cheese, which makes Dunsyre blue, said last month that testing had shown it to be "completely clear of E. coli O157".
Health Protection Scotland said that epidemiological investigations had "identified Dunsyre Blue cheese as the most likely cause of the outbreak".
It added: "Despite extensive investigation, including looking for other possible food sources, no other link to a majority of cases could be established."
Dr Alison Smith-Palmer, from Health Protection Scotland's Incident Management Team (IMT), said: "On behalf of the IMT, I would like to take this opportunity to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of the child who has died.
"Our thoughts are with them at this time and we ask that their privacy be respected.
"All confirmed cases became unwell prior to the end of July. As there have been no new cases since then the IMT will now stand down and work to produce its final report."
It is understood that the final report could take up to six months to produce.
In a statement issued last month on its website, Errington Cheese said its own tests had shown the product to be clear of the bug.
"All our testing, covering a period of almost six months from 21 March to date, is completely clear of E. coli O157," the statement said.
"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."
The statement added: "From what we can gather all cases had an onset of symptoms between 1st -15th July (2 week period).
"However, our cheese was available over a 8/9 week period.
"From this we conclude that the outbreak was more likely to have been caused by something with a shorter shelf-life or not by a food at all."
The nationalist Sinn Féin and SDLP made a petition of concern, a blocking mechanism that meant it did not get the required cross-community support.
Alliance Party leader David Ford said it meant the Stormont institutions were "in a very dangerous position".
The DUP now wants the government to take back welfare powers, but Sinn Féin said such a move would be unacceptable.
Mr Ford said it's not clear what will happen next.
"Within the next couple of weeks we have to resolve the budget issue, not just the June monitoring round - the reallocation between departments in year - but actually to pass the bill to allow departments to spend money in the second half of the financial year," he said.
"So that's a measure of the crisis we're in, that has to be resolved and it's unclear at this stage how that will be resolved."
A majority of 58 assembly members voted in favour and 39 voted against the bill to make changes to benefits that have been introduced in the rest of the UK.
There were several mitigation schemes in the bill that would have lessened its impact.
But Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness of Sinn Féin said: "This is a time when the (Stormont) executive parties need to stand together to defend our public services, particularly in terms of health, education and welfare."
Green Party leader Steven Agnew also signed the petition.
During the assembly debate, Finance Minister Arlene Foster warned that if the bill failed to pass, "£604m of cuts would have to be made to vital, frontline public services, the services that the most vulnerable in our community need and rely upon".
The debate went ahead despite Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson's admission to hospital with a suspected heart attack on Monday.
DUP sources say the 66-year-old party leader is making good progress and has been given a full briefing on Tuesday's events at Stormont.
Last week, Mr Robinson said the assembly could not survive the scenario that would unfold if the welfare reform bill was not approved.
However, Sinn Féin accused the DUP of scaremongering with its budget forecasts.
The Northern Ireland parties had agreed a deal on Westminster's welfare reform measures in the Stormont House Agreement last December.
However, Sinn Féin withdrew its support in March.
The measure was designed as a way to safeguard minority rights in Stormont's power-sharing assembly.
If a petition of concern is presented to the assembly speaker, any motion or amendment will need cross-community support.
In such cases, a vote on proposed legislation will only pass if supported by a weighted majority (60%) of members voting, including at least 40% of each of the nationalist and unionist designations present and voting.
Effectively this means that, provided enough MLAs from a particular community agree, that community can exercise a veto over the assembly's decisions.
Mr Adams was speaking at a 1916 Easter Rising commemoration in Rosslea, County Fermanagh, on Sunday.
He said Ireland needed "a peaceful rising to take control of the ideals of the proclamation and to put them into practice".
Mr Adams said the challenge for republicans was "to unite orange and green in equality and mutual respect".
"I believe next year's centenary events should be a catalyst for a national conversation on these issues," he added.
"Sinn Féin is committed to securing, in the time ahead, a referendum on Irish unity so that each and every one of us, working together, can build a new, dynamic country.
"Such a referendum should not be seen as threatening to any section of our community.
"All political objectives can now be pursued peacefully and democratically and in mutual respect.
"That is the great success of the peace process."
Several hundred people attended the event in Rosslea, which was one of a number of commemorations held on Sunday.
Meanwhile, in the Republic of Ireland, a ceremony took place on O'Connell Street in Dublin, which was attended by Irish President Michael D Higgins and the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.
The Poole Pirates rider - who was on loan at Swindon - suffered severe spinal injuries after he came off his bike during a meeting in August.
He told the Wimborne Road stadium crowd he would "keep pushing forward".
The race meeting was staged to raise money to help pay for Ward's rehabilitation costs.
Speaking from his wheelchair on the track, the 23-year-old said: "It's early days. The back injury is pretty severe but just got to keep pushing forward and see what we can do."
A club statement said it had been a "massive effort" for the rider to make his first public appearance in public since the crash.
"No-one could have anticipated the level of outpouring when the man himself appeared on track," the club said.
The Australian was riding for Zielona Gora against Grudziadz when he clipped the back wheel of a rider in front and fell awkwardly during a race on 23 August.
He was transferred to hospital where he underwent a two-and-a-half-hour operation before being transferred to the UK.
That will follow a bidding process which will see a new contract in place from June next year.
The contract length has been extended to 12 years, taking the service through to 2029.
Bidders will be required to provide a 40m (131ft) boat, up from the 26m (85ft) "Argyll Flyer".
As part of the new contract there will be penalties for service disruption.
Transport Minister Humza Yousaf set out conditions for the subsidised public service contract for the Cowal Peninsula to Inverclyde route.
The current service is run by Argyll Ferries, a subsidiary of David MacBrayne Ltd, which is wholly owned by the Scottish government. It has been criticised for technical problems and disruption to the service when there is bad weather.
The passenger-only service competes with privately-owned Western Ferries, which operates a car ferry between Gourock and Dunoon.
The next operator of the public service contract will be allowed to run a car ferry with passenger capacity, but because there is already a commercial operator, the vehicle business cannot be subsidised.
Stone and Gosling are reunited for their third film together to play two lovers, Mia and Sebastian, who have moved to Los Angeles to try to succeed in showbiz.
"Damien asked us to tell him about our audition disasters when we were first trying to make it," recalls Gosling. "I remember going to one and half way through the agent took a call and was talking about her lunch plans all the way through. I was completely traumatised - and I'm still waiting to hear about the role.
"That ended up in the film but Emma gets to go through it this time, not me."
Stone, who moved to Hollywood with her mother when she was 15 years old in order to try to act professionally, remembers "struggling to even get an audition that year and when I did, often being turned down after singing or saying one line".
"It was nothing quite as devastating as what Mia goes through but everyone thinks about packing it in after a terrible audition," she continues.
"Several times I thought about quitting. Even after I started getting parts in films, I would think, 'You know, maybe I won't do another one.'"
Stone has had no bad experiences with La La Land. She was awarded the best actress prize from the Venice Film Festival, while the film, amongst glowing reviews, has been described as "a sun-drenched masterpiece". After also winning over North American critics at the Toronto Film Festival, it's now tipped as a best picture contender for the Oscars.
Chazelle, who was also nominated for an Oscar last year for another music-centred film, Whiplash, says he "always wanted to make a musical, even if they're not seen as fashionable any more".
"In many ways Whiplash was the film I made because I didn't yet have the budget or trust to make La La Land," says Chazelle.
"We all need hope and romance on the screen and I think there's something about musicals - movies are a dreamland, and a world where you break into song when your emotions are strong, that violates the rules of reality. Isn't that what movies should be about?"
Stone had just starred on Broadway when she was picked for the role but Chazelle says the couple's overall lack of experience in musical theatre harks back to the Golden Age of Hollywood where stars like Audrey Hepburn weren't initially seen as naturals for musical roles.
"I wanted to make characters you could be sitting in a bar with, not people who come to the screen waiting for their moment to shine," says Chazelle.
"My whole idea was to take the old-fashioned magic of the musical, make it about today where real life can't live up to the dream, and ground every moment of it with actors who were invested in giving it realism. That's actually why it works as a fantasy."
Both actors had to learn ballroom dancing and Gosling went one step further to learn the piano to play the aspiring jazz musician Sebastian.
"I didn't learn to read music," he says. "I learned all the songs by heart from a tutor. So we didn't need a piano double in the end. Every frame you see of hands on the piano, it's me.
"I still play but I can still only play the songs from the movie."
Gosling and Stone last worked together in 2011 for the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid Love, with a chemistry Gosling says, "We don't have to work at. We don't have to create a relationship.
"Hopefully the fact that we're not necessarily natural choices for a musical means we can make it accessible to those who don't necessarily go and see the genre.
"I knew the music was beautiful in La La Land and I thought, 'If we get it right, this will be great.'"
Stone calls the film "the antidote to cynicism, which is so prevalent today".
"It comes down to the hopefulness and the joy of the story. It's not that there aren't cynical or bittersweet moments, but the film itself isn't. It's full of dreams and hope."
La La Land is showing as part of the London Film Festival, running from 5-16 October 2016.
The film will be released in UK cinemas in January 2017.

The economy grew 2.5% in the three months to September from a year ago, compared with 1.9% in the previous quarter and above forecasts of 2.4%.
It grew 0.9% from the previous quarter, also beating expectations of 0.8%.
Despite a slowdown in its biggest trading partner, China, and falling commodity prices, exports rose, giving the economy a boost.
Exports jumped 4.6% in the quarter, adding one percentage point to gross domestic product (GDP) growth.
This was during a period when the Australian dollar dropped 9% on record low interest rates in the country as the central bank tried to boost economic activity.
The Australian dollar surged to its highest level in almost seven weeks to $0.7345 after the growth figures were released.
Just a day earlier, the Reserve Bank of Australia had left its key interest rate unchanged at a record low of 2%, and also provided an upbeat view of the economy.
But Paul Dales, chief Australia economist at research firm Capital Economics said that the strong performance in exports is unlikely to be sustained.
"With overseas demand soft, we are not convinced that net trade can completely fill the hole [from declining mining investment ahead]," he said in a note.
"This is the main reason why we doubt that economic growth will accelerate significantly next year."
Australia's economy has been seeing moderate growth in recent years after investment in the mining sector - which had been a key driver for growth over a decade - peaked.
Resource companies in the country are in the midst of scaling back operations and cutting production costs to cope with slumping commodity prices.
In reaction to the growth figures, Sydney's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 closed down 0.2% to 5,258.30 points on Wednesday.
Curtis Chen was gunned down outside Parramatta Police Headquarters on Friday by 15-year-old Farhad Jabar, who was then shot dead by police.
The authorities believe the arrested men may have had knowledge of the shooting or had influenced Jabar.
The attack is being treated by police as a terror attack.
Local media have quoted police sources as saying they believe Jabar may have been recruited by the group to help them evade surveillance.
New South Wales state Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione has said Jabar had clearly been radicalised, but there was not enough evidence to keep the arrested men in custody.
"We've taken a lot of material during the course of these searches and that's going to take us a long time to go through," he told 2GB radio.
"It's incredibly frustrating for us."
Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan said on Thursday it was a great concern that younger Australians were being targeted and groomed by radicals "in the same way a paedophile would groom a victim".
"They seek to identify vulnerable people... to carry out a terror attack in here in Australia," he told the Seven Network on Thursday.
Some of the men arrested on Wednesday were already known to police.
Most of the properties targeted in the raids had reportedly been raided by police in September last year, in a major anti-terror operation which uncovered an alleged plot to behead a random person in public, and drape them in the flag used by the Islamic State (IS) militant group.
But New South Wales Police Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn said Jabar was not on the radar of security services. She said police "can't be monitoring every single person at every single second".
Friday's shooting came amid heightened anxiety in Australia about the influence of domestic and overseas radical Islamist groups.
Around 120 Australians are currently fighting with IS in Syria and Iraq, and almost 30 Australians are believed to have been killed, a spokesperson for the Minister for Justice told the BBC last month.
Officials are worried about the security implications of those who return home, and of those who support them.
More than 160 Australian passports have either been refused, suspended or cancelled on national security grounds.
The episode was watched by an average of 6.6 million viewers live on the day and it beat EastEnders in the ratings battle.
New consolidated figures show a total of 10.5 million watched the ITV drama.
The Queen's Christmas Broadcast was the most watched on 25 December itself with 7.2 million viewers watching it live.
The figure is combined from its broadcasts on both the BBC and ITV.
The consolidated figures include people who watched the programmes on catch-up, but does not include those who watch the BBC's iPlayer or ITV Player through computers.
Taking the new numbers into account means the Queen's Christmas Broadcast was knocked from the top of the ratings to number six.
Comedy Mrs Brown's Boys was in second place with 9.5 million viewers, up 3.1 million on the overnight figures. Call the Midwife came third with 9.30 million, with 3.5 million viewers watching on catch-up.
BBC One animation Stick Man was in fourth place with 9.28 million viewers, up 2.9 million.
And the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special was in fifth place with a total 8.54 million viewers, which is up 2.1 million.
The two robberies in Salford happened within minutes of each other with both victims robbed of their mobile phones.
A phone recovered from a blue Ford Focus, suspected to have been used to flee the scene, contained footage of a group of men doing the challenge.
A boy, 17, and a man, 19, have been arrested on suspicion of robbery.
The pair presented themselves to Pendleton police station two days after the footage was released by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) on Tuesday.
Officers stopped the Ford Focus hours after the robberies on 14 November on Deansgate in Manchester city centre and arrested the 22-year-old driver Roger Bosion.
Mr Bosion remains at large after failing to return to police for further questioning in December on suspicion of robbery, theft, handling stolen goods and making off without payment.
Police said the first victim was attacked by two men who dragged him to the floor on Fredrick Road, Salford and demanded the password to his phone.
Minutes later, police said a second man had his phone stolen at a bus stop on Eccles Old Road after being wrestled to the floor by three men.
Det Con Jim Harris, from GMP, urged Mr Bosion to "do the right thing and hand yourself in".
The "mannequin challenge" was a social media craze last year involving people being filmed frozen in place like mannequins.

But political analysts are sceptical about whether Jordan will be able to realise the changes demanded by street protesters since January.
Jordanian demonstrators are calling for the election of the prime minister by popular vote, want to see corruption seriously tackled and unemployment - which tops 13% - alleviated.
Protests here have been smaller and mainly peaceful, with no calls for the king to be removed.
The king has responded by establishing a national dialogue committee tasked with amending the constitution to give the public greater political say.
Last week, the absolute monarch also unveiled a new system to select future cabinets. Starting next year he will involve parliament in forming cabinets until prime ministers can be popularly elected.
The king also wants to see Jordan's 33 political parties merge into political groupings such as left, right and centre from which a prime minister can emerge. He has said this process could take up to three years.
But independent analyst Labib Kamhawi called this tinkering with the system as a "waste of time".
"There is no need to establish such a mechanism. Parliamentary governments are well-defined," he said.
"The problem lies in the system which prohibits political parties from taking their lawful share in parliament by manipulating the process itself by rigging elections."
Political observers and members of the opposition, including the powerful Islamic Action Front (IAF), allege that widespread election fraud took place during the last two parliamentary elections.
The IAF, which is affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood, said they were deprived of votes in the 2007 elections and boycotted the 2010 polls as a result.
Mr Kamhawi and other analysts such as University of Jordan international relations professor Hassan Barari accuse Jordan's all-pervasive security services, special interest groups and members of the ruling elite of undermining the drive for reform in the country.
"The ruling elite, by this I mean the bureaucracy, corrupt politicians and businessmen, have no interest in giving people genuine reforms," Mr Barari said.
"The king has realised that the status quo is untenable and swift moves to contain the street are needed. That's why he started constitutional amendments, some political reforms and firing the weakest government in a decade."
On 17 October, the unpopular Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit stepped down a day after 70 out of 120 parliamentarians called for him to go. A tough ex-army general, Mr Bakhit was viewed as incapable of enacting needed reforms and his time in office had been tainted by charges of corruption.
The king appointed the respected jurist and former deputy of the Hague-based International Court of Justice, Awn al-Khasawneh, as the third prime minister to take the job since protests broke out in January.
Mr Khasawneh's government is the tenth since Abdullah ascended the throne in 1999. This turnover is pretty much traditional in Jordan. The king's father, King Hussein, also changed cabinets about every eight months during his reign.
Mr Barari of the University of Jordan said the king cannot keep prime ministers in office for a longer time because people in the street would "explode". The prime ministers deflect criticism and work as a "buffer", while the monarch is viewed as responding to people's demands for change.
Observers also criticised some of the king's past choices for the post and said the endless cycle of cabinet reshuffles should be broken.
"Parliament should select a prime minister and cabinet. A government should be the outcome of political balances within parliament," said Mr Barari.
"A good electoral law and no state interference in elections are required. Let the people decide who their representatives are. Parliament will then appoint the prime minister," he added.
Prime Minister Khasawneh has announced that "there will be no more rigged elections" in Jordan. "The country will not tolerate any more manipulation in any future elections."
How will this be accomplished? He said the government will set up an independent organisation to oversee municipal and parliamentary elections. But the fact that the government is once again involved would seem to undermine the independence of the monitoring group.
Shadi Hamid and Courtney Freer of the Brookings Center in Doha called the king's tactic of replacing his prime ministers as a means to "demonstrate his seriousness about change".
But they also said the Jordanian monarchy has a "long history of pledging reform yet failing to deliver, beginning in 1989 with an initially promising but soon aborted democratic experiment".
King Abdullah recently urged parliamentarians to devise a political parties' law and amend a controversial election bill, which Islamist and other opposition claim has provided pro-monarchy landslide victories and produced weak parliaments.
While these measures are necessary to the political reform process, Mr Kamhawi still faults the powers that be with delays to realising true democratic transformation in Jordan.
"At the end of the day, it boils down to what compromise the king is willing to live with. It seems to be that we have not yet reached that point," he said.
And Shadi Hamid and Courtney Freer argue that while King Abdullah is often seen to be above the political fray he, "like all dominant monarchs, is at least partly responsible for the stagnation of political reform in Jordan".
For the first time in decades, youth, Islamist and leftist opposition protesters are challenging the monarchy's grip on power. Analysts are warning that although deference to the king persists, it may not last forever.
Adebayo Akinfenwa's 76th-minute strike appeared to have salvaged a point for the Chairboys after the striker's 12th goal of the season cancelled out Chris Dagnall's first-half opener.
But James' penalty three minutes from time secured the spoils for Crewe, who look a different proposition to the side which had limped on for 11 games without a win before their shock 5-0 demolition of Grimsby at the weekend.
Wycombe were bidding to reclaim a berth in the play-off places after losing 3-0 to Stevenage, but found themselves a goal down in controversial circumstances after just 10 minutes at Gresty Road.
Dagnall forced his way past Joe Jacobson to unleash a fierce drive which Wanderers' keeper Jamal Blackman parried under his bar. But referee Michael Salisbury conferred with his assistant before adjudging the ball had crossed the line.
Wycombe responded with Scott Kashket driving in a shot from distance, but failing to trouble Crewe keeper Ben Garratt.
Garratt was also safely behind Akinfenwa's header as the veteran striker latched onto Jacobson's free-kick.
Sam Wood should have done better when well placed in front of goal after the break, but the Wycombe midfielder fired his effort straight at Garratt.
Kashket was replaced by Garry Thompson up front, but Crewe continued to look the more likely scorers and on-loan midfielder Callum Cooke's volley had Blackman stretching to tip the ball over.
However, just as the home side were looking good value to increase their lead, Wycombe equalised.
Akinfenwa latched onto a ball pumped to the edge of the box and swivelled to dispatch a lethal finish into the bottom corner to level the scores 14 minutes from time.
But Crewe were not to be denied, and in the 87th minute Sido Jombati held back George Ray to concede what seemed a harsh penalty award and Jones blasted home from the spot.

The firm first made the commitment in 2015 to go 100% renewable by 2017.
In a blog, the company said it was now the largest corporate buyer of renewable energy in the world.
Fossil fuels are still used by Google, but now it buys enough electricity from renewable sources to offset energy use at the data centres and offices.
Its 13 data centres alone consumed around 5.7 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity a year.
"Over the last six years, the cost of wind and solar came down 60% and 80% respectively, proving that renewables are increasingly becoming the lowest cost option," said Urs Holzle, senior vice president for technical infrastructure.
He added: "Since the wind doesn't blow 24 hours a day, we'll also broaden our purchases to a variety of energy sources that can enable renewable power, every hour of every day."
Of course the big incentive for a company like Google to hit this kind of target is the bounty of tax incentives offered by the US government (and others) for investing in clean energy.
But with incoming President Donald Trump seemingly dismissive of climate change - even calling it a "hoax" in a tweet - those rewards may be coming to an abrupt end.
Ahead of today's news, I spoke to Gary Demasi, the man in charge of Google's strategy for energy. He said the company isn't worried.
"Incentives have been a valuable way, historically, of getting these projects built," he told me.
"The tax incentives still make a difference and they're still important. They are scheduled to decline over the next few years. We have been on record acknowledging that we're not concerned about that reduction - largely because the costs of the technology are coming down anyway."
The move by Google has been welcomed by Friends of the Earth (FoE).
"Google has come up with the right answer: investing in renewable power is good for business and good for the planet," said FoE energy campaigner Alasdair Cameron.
He added that he believed companies, cities and even entire countries will switch to 100% renewable sources of energy.
In 2010, Germany's environment agency noted that the country could be 100% powered by renewable energy sources by 2050, for example.
Google's news comes at a time when the US President-elect Donald Trump is under pressure from US companies not to abandon the Paris climate deal.
Mr Cameron is also calling on the UK government to follow in the footsteps of Google and to continue to invest in renewable energy sources.
UK Border Force officers were called after the group of Ukrainian nationals was discovered in Orford on Sunday morning.
The Coastguard was called out when the yacht found itself in trouble in high winds.
It is thought to be the second time in recent years that a group of Ukrainians has been detained at the port.
"You need to do this... I will help you do this and the press is with you on this because they just lost one of their own," Andy Parker told the BBC.
Staff at WDBJ TV in Virginia have been mourning the loss of his daughter, a reporter, and cameraman Adam Ward.
They were shot dead live on air by a disgruntled ex-colleague on Wednesday.
The attack has reignited the debate about gun control laws in the US.
Mr Parker acknowledged it would be an uphill battle to change the law, but said the president could take on the challenge as he had with other issues including healthcare reform.
"Mr President, you need to do this. Please do it. Please do it for us and for other people so they're not going to lose their Alisons and their Adams," he said in an emotional message.
President Obama supported legislation to extend background checks for gun buyers and a ban on rapid-firing assault weapons after 26 people were killed at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, but it was rejected in 2013.
Last month, he told the BBC the failure to pass "common-sense gun safety laws" was the greatest frustration of his presidency.
On Wednesday, he said the US needed to do "a better job of making sure that people who have problems, people who shouldn't have guns, don't have them."
Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said she would "take on" the issue of gun violence, while admitting it was "a very political, difficult issue in America".
She said: "I want to reiterate how important it is we not let yet another terrible incidence go by without trying to do something more to prevent this incredible killing that is stalking our country."
Republican presidential hopefuls Jim Gilmore and Ben Carson have warned against any rush to introduce tougher gun controls.
Although the issue has stalled nationally, gun control measures have gone ahead in the last two years in several states.
WDBJ Roanoke news director Kelly Zuber said in a news conference on Thursday that none of her news teams had been doing live shots for the last two days "out of an abundance of caution".
She said the gunman, Vester Flanagan, may have discovered the location of the news crew after watching them in an earlier TV appearance at Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta on Wednesday, and had enough time to drive to the area before their second live appearance.
The station's general manager, Jeff Marks, also said Flanagan had vowed to make "a stink" soon after he was fired from the station two years ago.
Earlier on Thursday, the station held a minute's silence on air in memory of the two slain journalists. "We will, over time, heal from this," WDBJ7 anchor Kim McBroom told viewers, holding hands with two colleagues.
Bunches of flowers and black ribbons have been placed outside the channel's headquarters in Roanoke.
Flanagan, who posted online a video he had filmed of the attack, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound later on Wednesday.
Memos from the station reveal Flanagan, who used the on-air name of Bryce Williams, had been ordered by the station's bosses to seek medical help and expressed "aggressive" behaviour toward colleagues.
WDBJ's former news chief Dan Dennison said on Wednesday Flanagan had complained of racial discrimination but "all these allegations were deemed to be unfounded".
Flanagan had to be escorted from the building by police when he was fired "because he was not going to leave willingly", he added.
In a 23-page fax sent to ABC News, Flanagan said his anger had been "building steadily" and a recent attack on black church-goers in Charleston, South Carolina, had driven him to "tipping point".

Today's radical surgery, with the loss of 27,000 jobs worldwide, is meant to put this American computing icon back on track. But as well as the anxiety for many of the firm's UK workers, there is also a serious question mark over the future of a major British technology success story, Autonomy.
When HP paid what now looks an extraordinary and perhaps foolish price to acquire the Cambridge-based firm last year, I wrote that it was good news and bad news. Great for the shareholders - and for Autonomy's chief executive who made £500m from the deal - but worrying for the prosperity of Cambridge and the UK hi-tech sector.
But Mike Lynch was staying on - indeed he was put in charge of one of HP's most important divisions - and he was keen to reassure everyone that there would be continued investment in the UK.
Now Mr Lynch has been shown the door, along with most of his senior team at Autonomy. HP is briefing that this is the inevitable result of failing to meet targets, and suggesting that the Autonomy founder wasn't up to the job of running such a large-scale business.
Friends of Mr Lynch say he was increasingly exasperated by the way HP was being run, and what he saw as the failure of its leaders to understand both the technological and strategic challenges it faced.
So where does this leave Autonomy, and the Cambridge cluster that has been the UK's hi-tech superstar for some years? In the short-term it's difficult to see HP putting more investment into the business, and projects like the Aurasma augmented reality service must fear for their future.
But Mr Lynch is already talking of his determination to start again.
"The fact that there are talented experienced people with access to capital now available to start new businesses is very positive for UK PLC," he says.
And it's true that even if work at Autonomy dries up, there is plenty of demand for skilled staff in Cambridge. I'm told that one fast growing software firm sends an ice cream van to the science park offering free cornets to lure engineers to interviews.
But there are still lessons to be learned from the Autonomy story. Fast growing software firms still run by mercurial and impatient founders don't make a good fit with lumbering bureaucracies.
And next time a UK technology business sells up to an American giant and tells us not to worry, that ownership doesn't matter, we have the right to be just a little bit cynical.
The order aims to shrink the borders of national monuments created by previous presidents, which Mr Trump called an "egregious abuse of federal power".
Unlike national parks, which require an act of Congress, national monuments can be created by a presidential directive.
However, a president does not currently have the right to abolish a monument.
The White House intends to shrink the borders of existing national monuments that have drawn controversy from Republican lawmakers and the mining industry.
Environmentalists fear this order will unleash a wave of new oil and gas extraction, which was a Trump campaign promise.
It directs the Department of Interior to examine all lands designated as national monuments since 1996.
The 1.35 million acre Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, created by Barack Obama during the final days of his administration, is one of the parks under review.
Utah lawmakers oppose the Obama action and have lobbied Mr Trump since his November election to overturn it.
Mr Obama placed 553 million acres under national monument protection during his presidency - more than any other US president.
This, his successor said, was an abuse of the law which eliminated the ability of people in these states to decide how best to use the land.
Rob Bishop, chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, said: "I'm pleased to see President Trump recognise long-standing abuses of the Antiquities Act.
"It was created with noble intent and for limited purposes, but has been hijacked to set aside increasingly large and restricted areas of land without public input."
Environmental groups panned Mr Trump's latest action to undo his predecessor's environmental legacy.
"An attack on one national monument is an attack on all," said Theresa Pierno of the National Parks Conservation Association.
"These public lands are owned by all Americans. Communities are doing their job to protect them. Our elected officials must do the same." | Indonesia has begun search and rescue missions for the thousands of migrants believed to be adrift in its waters.

Petroleum Minister Ibe Kachikwu said a litre of petrol would now cost a maximum of 145 naira (£0.50), up from about 86.5 naira.
As retailers get more money, the government aims to further cut back on costly subsidies.
Fuel shortages have seen Nigerians paying up to 250 naira a litre on the black market.
Despite being one of Africa's largest oil producers, Nigeria has to import fuel to meet demand.
Nigerian refineries are dilapidated and work at a fraction of their capacity.
"The main reason for the current problem is the inability of importers of petroleum products to source foreign exchange at the official rate due to the massive decline of foreign exchange earnings of the federal government," Mr Kachikwu said.
"We expect that this new policy will lead to improved supply and competition and eventually drive down pump prices," he added. | Nigeria has decided to allow petrol prices to rise by two thirds, in a bid to ease crippling fuel shortages. | 36,271,426 | 202 | 27 | false |
Speaking after an emergency Cobra meeting, Ms Rudd said "there's always more" that could be done to protect against computer viruses.
She said 97% of NHS trusts were "working as normal" and there was no evidence patient data was affected.
The ransomware attack hit organisations in at least 99 countries.
Europol described it as "unprecedented" and said its cyber-crime team was working with affected countries to "mitigate the threat and assist victims".
Ms Rudd insisted the government had "the right plans" to limit the impact of the attack, which also affected the Nissan car plant in Sunderland.
The Liberal Democrats and Labour have both demanded an inquiry into the cyber-attack.
Lib Dem home affairs spokesman Lord Paddick said "it has left Britain defenceless".
Labour's Jonathan Ashworth also called for a "full, independent inquiry" into the cyber-attack.
As of 21:00 BST on Saturday, the following NHS England trusts were still reporting IT difficulties on their websites:
The 48 NHS trusts affected did not include GP practices. Thirteen NHS bodies were also affected in Scotland.
The Scottish government said most NHS computers were expected to be operational by Monday.
NHS England said patients needing emergency treatment on Saturday evening should go to A&E or access emergency services as they normally would.
However, a small number of non-urgent services may take some time to return to normal. For example, United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust has already cancelled routine appointments, tests and operations on Monday.
The malware spread quickly on Friday leaving hospitals and GPs unable to access patient data, with many doctors resorting to using pen and paper.
Their computers were locked by a ransomware program which demanded a payment to access blocked files.
Hospitals across the UK were cancelling operations and ambulances had been diverted from hospitals in some areas.
Lynne Owens, head of the National Crime Agency, said: "At this moment in time we don't know whether it's a very sophisticated criminal network or whether it's a number of individuals operating together."
Ron Grimshaw, 80, was halfway through an MRI scan to test for prostate cancer at Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, when staff became aware of the attack.
I got there at 11am, went through the usual formalities. Got my gown on, they put a feed into my wrist to send dye around my blood stream.
I was put in the scanner for 10 minutes and then I was pulled out again.
The nurses were saying something about a cyber-attack meaning their systems were down.
They weren't sure when it was going to start again so I waited for a bit. But it never happened and I went home.
I was meant to have a chest X-ray as well and that was cancelled.
I gave them my mobile number and they said they'd ring me back telling me when to come in.
You've got to sympathise with the nurses as they will have to work extra hours.
It was unbelievable you don't expect to go to hospital in the middle of a cyber-attack. Damn nuisance.
The virus, identified as WannaCry, exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows software first identified by the US National Security Agency, experts have said.
Kingsley Manning, a former chairman of NHS Digital, said the government and the NHS had been "very well aware" that a cyber-attack was a threat and "significant amounts of money" had been invested "in anticipation that this sort of thing would happen".
After the home secretary expressed disappointment that some health trusts were still operating computer systems on Windows XP, despite having been advised to upgrade, Mr Manning claimed that several hundred thousand computers were still running Windows XP.
He added that the government would have been aware of that.
Mr Manning told BBC Radio 4's PM programme: "Some trusts took the advice that was offered to them very seriously and acted on it and some of them may not have done.
"If you're sitting in a hard-pressed hospital in the middle of England, it is difficult to see that as a greater priority than dealing with outpatients or A&E.
"It's very difficult to get individual trusts to use the money for this purpose."
NHS Digital said that 4.7% of devices within the NHS use Windows XP, with the figure continuing to decrease.
The ransomware used in the attack is called WannaCry and attacks Windows operating systems.
It encrypts files on a user's computer, blocking them from view, before demanding money, via an on-screen message, to access them again.
The virus is usually covertly installed on to computers by hiding within emails containing links, which users are tricked into opening.
Some experts say the attackers used a weakness in Microsoft systems which is known to the US National Security Agency as "EternalBlue".
A cybersecurity researcher tweeting as @malwaretechblog has claimed to have found a way to slow down the spread of the virus after registering a domain name hidden in the malware.
He said that the malware makes a request to a domain name, but if it is live the malware stops spreading.
A security update - or patch - was released by Microsoft in March to protect against the virus, but it appears many organisations have not applied the patch - or may still be using outdated systems like Windows XP.

Chief fire officer David Johnson said the homes in 61 streets in Jaywick were being evacuated with flood levels expected to reach 50cm (20in) from the top of the sea wall.
He said people should start packing some belongings and those who could voluntarily leave the area should.
Three severe flood warnings, indicating danger to life, have been issued.
They include the coast from Clacton to Lee Wick and at Mistley, Brantham and West Mersea.
More than 20 severe flood warnings are in force in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.
Mr Johnson said the whole of Jaywick would be evacuated.
He said: "The information that we have from the Environment Agency is that the water is going to be about half a metre from the top of the sea defences, but obviously with some significant winds blowing there will be waves over the top of those defences.
"The decision has been taken to evacuate Jaywick as best we can as a purely precautionary exercise and I would urge people not to panic."
People will be evacuated to school buildings in the Clacton area, he said.
"If people are able to voluntarily leave and stay with friends and relatives overnight that is always a good idea and will be very helpful."
He said police officers would be knocking on every door in the village and asking people to leave.
"We can't force people to evacuate their homes, but as a purely precautionary exercise it would be sensible to do so," said Mr Johnson.
The rail line between Norwich and London was disrupted by damage to overhead wires caused by falling trees in Diss, Manningtree and Wivenhoe.

"Services between London and Southend/Southminster and stopping services between London and Shenfield are running a full timetable this evening."
Instead of repeated blood tests and injections throughout the day to keep blood sugar in check, a single dose of smart insulin would keep circulating in the body and turn on when needed.
Animal studies show the technology appears to work - at least in mice.
Scientists plan to move to human trials soon, PNAS journal reports.
Experts caution that it will take years of testing before treatments could become a reality for patients.
People with type 1 diabetes, who either do not make or cannot use their own natural insulin, rely on insulin injections to stay well.
Without these, their blood sugar would get dangerously high.
But injecting insulin can also make blood sugar levels dip too low, and people with type 1 diabetes must regularly check their blood glucose levels to make sure they are in the right zone.
Diabetes experts have been searching for ways to make blood sugar control easier and more convenient for patients, which is where "smart" insulins come in.
There are a few different types in development, but all are designed to automatically activate when blood sugar gets too high and switch off again when it returns to normal.
Dr Danny Chou from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been testing a smart insulin that he and his colleagues developed in the lab.
It is a chemically modified version of regular, long-acting insulin.
It has an extra set of molecules stuck on the end that binds it to proteins that circulate in the bloodstream. While it is attached to these, the smart insulin is in its switched off mode.
When blood sugar rises, the smart insulin switches on - glucose locks on to the smart insulin and tells it to get to work.
Dr Chou said: "My goal is to make life easier and safer for diabetics.
"This is an important advance in insulin therapy."
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has been funding work into smart insulins.
Karen Addington, chief executive of JDRF in the UK, said: "For many people living with type 1 diabetes, achieving good blood glucose control is a daily battle. Taking too much insulin can drive someone's glucose levels too low, leading to a 'hypo', while taking too little means glucose levels rise too high, which can have a serious cumulative health impact in the long term.
"A smart insulin would eliminate hypos - which are what many with type 1 diabetes hate most. It would enable people with type 1 diabetes to achieve near perfect glucose control, all from a single injection per day or even per week. That's really exciting."
Dr Richard Elliott of Diabetes UK said: "Years of further research and clinical trials will be needed to find out if a similar drug could be used safely and effectively by people with diabetes."
There are two main types: type 1 and type 2

Buckingham became part of horse racing folklore when steering the 100-1 shot through a mass of fallers at the 23rd fence to win at Aintree 49 years ago.
Of 44 starters, only 18 finished.
"It was havoc. Three jockeys turned Foinavon down but I'd have ridden Dick's donkey to be in the Grand National," said Buckingham in a BBC interview in 2010.
"What people don't realise is that we'd got it all planned before we left the weighing room!"
BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght:
Buckingham might not have been the best-known jump jockey of modern times but, unlike many of his higher-profile contemporaries, he has an indelible place in racing history.
Foinavon really was a complete no-hoper in the 1967 Grand National, and was so far behind when the melee took place that Buckingham was able to steer past the incident, and go so far clear that they weren't caught up.
It was quite likely the most dramatic staging in the race's history - at, ironically, the smallest fence on the track, later renamed Foinavon - and even to this day, a regular racecourse refrain is that such and such is "the biggest shock since Foinavon".
Healey suffered the injury during Saturday's 5-0 thrashing of Rotherham in the Championship.
The 22-year-old fell unchallenged and left the field on a stretcher during the first half.
"It soured everything really," Cardiff manager Neil Warnock said after the win.
"He's done so well for us, given us a new lease of life - his winner against Burton and getting the penalty against Derby the other night.
"To miss out on a nothing injury - I think his studs caught in the turf and it's a crying shame for the young lad."
The game against Rotherham was Healey's first home league start for Cardiff, who he joined from Welsh Premier League side Connah's Quay in 2013.
He has had loan spells at Colchester, Dundee and Newport County but forced himself into first-team reckoning for the Bluebirds with some impressive displays as a substitute.
Healey's injury was the one bleak note for Cardiff on Saturday as they recorded their biggest win since beating Bristol City 6-0 in 2010.
The Bluebirds' third successive victory keeps them 12th in the Championship table - a far cry from the dire situation when Warnock took charge in October with the club second from bottom.
The Millers, on the other hand, are firmly rooted to the foot of the table and are 15 points adrift of safety.
Warnock saved Rotherham United from relegation last season but, with the Yorkshire club now seemingly destined for the drop, the 68-year-old is saddened by his former side's decline.
"We didn't really give them a look-in in the second half. It's difficult for Rotherham," said Warnock.
"They're decimated by injury, they've got the two lads from us [on loan - Semi Ajayi and Tom Adeyemi], who can't play, they've got a few more problems and I've been there.
"I know how difficult it is. While it's a great win, I don't take any satisfaction at all from seeing the position they're in."
Mujati, 32, signed for Ospreys from English Premiership side Sale Sharks in February as cover for Dmitri Arhip and Ma'afu Fia, who were out with injury.
The former Springbok has started seven of the last eight games for the region.
"I've settled in really well here and I'm thrilled to be staying with the Ospreys longer-term," Mujati said.
He continued: "My family is here with me and everybody has made us really welcome. It's a good environment to be in.
"While I'm pleased to be with the Ospreys next season, we have some really important business ahead of us on the field and that has to be the focus for everybody over the next few weeks."
Mujati has played in South Africa's Super Rugby with Lions and Stormers, in Top 14 in France with Racing Metro, and in England with Northampton Saints and Sale.
"It's always difficult for a player moving to a new team in-season and having to learn on the go but Brian has adapted to what we want really well, like the professional that he is," Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy said.
"With the continued absence of Dmitri and Ma'afu, Brian has had a big role to play. With a good pre-season under his belt, I think we'll truly see the best of him."
The army said the militants "were given a fair trial" in military courts before the verdict was handed down.
The attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar last December, carried out by the Taliban, shocked the country.
In response, Pakistan lifted a seven-year moratorium on executions.
It also amended the constitution to allow for the establishment of military courts to try terror suspects.
Since December, 200 people have been put to death. Many of them were not convicted for terror offences.
A statement on the Pakistan military's website said seven militants were found guilty of links to the attack - only one had been given a life sentence instead of the death penalty.
"The convicts were given fair trial by following all the legal formalities and offering/providing them legal aid and defence counsels," the statement said.
"Today the sentences of death have been confirmed by the Chief of Army Staff."
These are the first death sentences to be handed out in connection to the Army Public School massacre, the BBC's Shaimaa Khalil reports from Islamabad.
Those facing the death penalty are not the seven who took part in the attack - all of whom died in the assault.
They scaled the walls to get into the school and set off a bomb before moving from classroom to classroom shooting indiscriminately at both the children and teachers.
The school was near a military complex in Peshawar and many of its students were the children of military personnel.
Peshawar, which is close to the Afghan border, had seen some of the worst of the violence during the Taliban insurgency in recent years.
John Langley, who is representing the party in Bristol's Stockwood ward, said he is an adult entertainment industry veteran who owns a production business.
He said he was "happy to confirm" reports he had appeared in and produced a number of X-rated films.
A party spokesperson said UKIP was aware of Mr Langley's other profession and supported him.
Mr Langley said: "I'm exactly the same as anyone else. On one side I have my performer side, and on the other I have my normal life."
"We in UKIP represent the ordinary working-class person who will go to the pub, they will read The Sun and they will look at adult entertainment.

Hull FC travel to Catalans on Monday, having lost to Leigh on Friday.
In response, Ralph Rimmer of the RFL said: "Player welfare is paramount."
The chief operating officer continued: "The Rugby Football League does care about every player involved in the sport from community through to the top tier."
However, former South Sydney and Gold Coast Titans forward Minichiello, who has being playing in the northern hemisphere competition with Hull FC since 2015, said there are many things in Super League "that need to improve to get the game on the right path".
"I don't think the RFL look after their players at all," he told BBC Radio Humberside.
"They ask a lot of their players. It is a physical game we play and then we play two double-header periods in one season - that is ridiculous in my opinion."
Hull, like Catalans, have the most taxing travel over the Bank Holiday weekend as both have games in England and France.
They are both back on English soil for the following round, as Hull are at home to Wigan on Saturday, 3 June, while Catalans fly in to face Widnes a day later.
"We'll do everything recovery-wise to get our energy levels back up and our body in the right frame to play a game a couple of days later," Minichiello said.
"It is even tougher when have to fly to Catalans, but we will deal with that and do it as best we can."
The additional double-header in the Super League calendar this year, coming after the traditional Easter weekend fixtures, is the result of an England training camp being scheduled to take place in Dubai - a camp that was cancelled following consultation with Super League clubs.
"That is another thing that is absolutely crazy," said Minichiello.
"Start the competition a week later for a camp that didn't happen, then make players play three games in seven days twice in the year. I'd like to see them to do it."
Rimmer reiterated that the delayed start to the campaign was "collective decision in support of the national team".
Minichiello said players should have a voice when it comes to scheduling, but admits they lack a say because "players of the game don't have a united front".
"That allows the RFL to do what they want without consulting players," the Australian said.
"I know what it is like back home, all the players are on board and we are there to make sure the game is growing in the right direction and that everyone is looked after.
"It is easy to say and tough to do - there needs to be a collective player union where 100% of Super League players are involved.
"That is a great starting point to make sure the RFL has a point of call to go to and negotiate terms of play and the growth of the game.
"Players are the biggest asset the game has and we need a voice."
Despite the absence of a player union at an elite level since the demise of League 13 in 2015, the RFL said there is access to union representation through GMB.
"I know many do take up this option to support them with various matters," Rimmer said.
"Also, since being appointed as our rugby director, Kevin Sinfield has created a line of communication with club captains to regularly discuss different issues in the game with an aim to improve in any way we can."

There are clear advantages in being short. Generally, shorter players are more mobile and flexible than taller men and can get into position quicker. Particularly small batsmen do pose unusual problems for bowlers.
England's James Taylor, at 5ft 6ins, emphasised that in the fourth one-day international against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Sunday, as he scored 90 in his side's narrow six-wicket defeat.
Taylor's performance was similar to how a man of similar diminutive size - Aravinda de Silva - used to play for Sri Lanka.
Like De Silva, Taylor pulls balls that are barely short of a length and Sri Lanka soon discovered that after his understandably scratchy beginning. He had just eight from his first 23 balls having come to the wicket in the second over.
Then, he suddenly sidled up the track and picked up a ball from Thisara Perera and hammered it way over midwicket for six. It was an astonishing stroke that surprised the Sri Lankans and got his innings going.
But it was his pulling which was most disconcerting for the bowlers. Several deliveries that would be a decent length to a batsman of average height seem fractionally short to the right-handed Taylor and are rifled to the boundary with a pirouette of the body and a thrust of the bottom hand.
The power Taylor, 24, generates from this rapid swivel and jab of the bat leaves the deep fielders standing.
The huge benefit of this shot is that it forces bowlers to readjust. They can't rely on their regulation length as a banker against Taylor. A simple, good length ball will not guarantee a dot in the book. Often bowlers over-compensate and, in attempting to bowl fuller, over-pitch. Half-volleys materialise.
This frequently happened when bowling to De Silva and, indeed, other short batsmen such as the West Indians Alvin Kallicharran and Gus Logie. They were excellent drivers as well as ferocious pullers and cutters. As a bowler you ended up with no length that you could be sure would contain them.
Taylor enjoys this advantage and makes good use of it. His innings was hugely impressive: lively, energetic, well thought-out, the field manipulated and the ball cleanly struck until he succumbed to cramp.
Most importantly it placed different demands on the bowlers who had to realign their timing - as disruptive to them as a bowler delivering from an unusual angle or an exceptional height is to a batsman.
Diversity in a team is invaluable, as England's bowlers trying to contain the sublime artistry of the right-handed Mahela Jayawardene and the ruthless accumulation of Kumar Sangakkara keep discovering. They put on 96, their 45th partnership of more than 50 in one-day internationals. And both men are under 6ft.

His full trial is due to start on 31 October.
The charges date back to a rally in The Hague in March 2014.
Mr Wilders asked supporters if they wanted more or fewer Moroccans there.
When they chanted "fewer, fewer," Mr Wilders said: "We'll organise that."
Prosecutor Wouter Bos told the court that freedom of speech was of great importance, but it was not an absolute.
Mr Wilders's legal team is demanding an investigation into how its draft opening statement was leaked to a Dutch newspaper.
His lawyer told the judges that the case should be stopped so the investigation into the leak could be completed.
On his way to court, Mr Wilders tweeted: "No one will silence me. No terrorist, no prime minister and no court either."
In 2011, Mr Wilders was acquitted of incitement after being accused of encouraging hatred towards Muslims.
Zofino Muiuane was arrested after Mrs Guebuza was killed at their home in the capital, Maputo, police said.
Mrs Guebuza, 36, is the daughter of Mozambique's ex-President Armando Guebuza, who ruled from 2005 to 2015.
She married Mr Muiuane at a lavish ceremony, attended by regional leaders, in 2014.
While police said the shooting was a case of domestic violence, they also said they were still investigating the motive.
Mr Muiuane, a manager at Mozambique's first mobile phone company M-Cel, has not yet been charged.
The killing has shocked many people and it is rare to hear of domestic violence in wealthy and politically linked families in Mozambique, says the BBC's Jose Tembe in Maputo.
Mrs Guebuza became one of Mozambique's wealthiest businesswomen during her father's presidency, our correspondent adds.
Business magazine Forbes listed her in 2013 as one of the 20 most powerful women in Africa.
She headed a family-owned investment holding company, Focus 21 Management & Development, which has interests in sectors ranging from telecommunications to mining.
Focus 21 has a significant stake in Chinese Pay TV Company StarTimes' operations in Mozambique.
It's probably not every day that a museum will get a couple of drill bits in the post accompanied by a polite request to bore a hole in one of their highly valuable exhibits.
But those holding rhino horn can expect just such a package in the next few months as the National Wildlife Crime Unit roles out its database.
"The illegal trade in endangered species is one of our six wildlife crime priorities and, within that, the number one issue for us is the illegal trade in rhino horn," says unit head Det Insp Nevin Hunter.
In Africa, white rhino numbers are rising.
But despite this, a rapid rise in the incidence of hunting means that, if present trends continue, it won't be long before the population begins to dwindle.
Poachers are driven by the high prices paid in China and Vietnam for rhino horn - strongly, but wrongly, believed to have powerful medicinal properties.
Stealing antique rhino horn kept in the UK can deliver similar profits with much lower risks.
As one curator in East Anglia said to me: "Thieves fleeing from a county museum are unlikely to get shot."
In the past two years, there have been at least 20 criminal incidents involving rhino horn in the UK and it's not just old trophies at risk - live animals in zoos have been targeted.
PC Andy Long, a wildlife crime officer in Essex who advises Colchester Zoo on keeping its rhinos safe, says it is "highly-organised crime at an international level".
"They know how to obtain the horn and they know how to dispose of it - you can't just sell it on eBay," he says.
Some criminals also try to pass off freshly-poached specimens as antique.
The police say precise DNA knowledge will deter thieves, enable officers to secure more convictions and prevent smugglers making bogus claims.
It is part of an emerging effort to use the latest science to push back against smugglers and prevent them cloaking their crimes in the anonymity of their goods.
Ross McEwing, from international forensics service Trace, says: "If we want to make inroads into the illegal trade in endangered species, DNA will certainly be the key tool to do that."
Dr Lucy Webster, who is co-ordinating the government-funded science from a lab outside Edinburgh, usually spends her time investigating DNA at wildlife crime scenes.
But she is now using genetic science as a preventative weapon.
"This is where your DIY skills come in handy," she says.
"We'll be providing museums with a kit with which to take the sample including a 5mm drill bit.
"The shavings of rhino horn contain cellular material that has DNA within it and it's this DNA we will look to isolate to build the individual profiles."
Zoos will be encouraged to gather cheek swabs or blood samples.
The precise technique will be left up to the keepers who know best how to get biological material from their potentially grumpy, two-tonne donor while giving least offence.
At Colchester Zoo, staff stroked Otto the rhino's ear, simultaneously calming the patient, bringing up a vein and slipping in a small syringe.
It didn't appear to interrupt his carrot and apple snack.
Costing the Earth will be shown on Tuesday at 15:30 BST and on Wednesday at 21:00 BST.
Goalkeeper Craig Samson remains out, along with Stephen Pearson, Stephen McManus, Richard Tait, Jacob Blyth, Ross MacLean and Jack McMillan.
Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd will miss the final two games of the season after undergoing knee surgery.
Scott Boyd and Rory McKenzie remain out but defender Greg Taylor returns after serving a one-match ban.
Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson: "Saturday [1-0 win at Hamilton] was a relief more than delight because we knew how important the game was and it was a scrap and a battle, it wasn't the prettiest game in the world.
"What is was though was three points towards our ultimate goal of staying up and we know that we need to follow that up.
"We just have to focus solely on us and put the same level of commitment in to the game that we did on Saturday and add a little bit of quality to that, which I believe will be different being on our home patch."
Kilmarnock interim manager Lee McCulloch: "It will be a hard game, The formation they play can be 3-6-1 at times so there will not be a lot of room in the middle of the pitch. We will need to pass the ball well.
"With the situation they are in, it will be a great atmosphere under the lights.
"It's my old club so I know the Motherwell fans can get behind their club very well.
"We discussed the atmosphere. We're going to have to deal with it, we're going to need to deal with the pressure they put on us so the quicker we can pass the ball the better."
No inquest has been held into the 2012 murder at her family's request.
Ms Meagher was originally from Drogheda, but moved to Australia from Ireland in 2009 with her husband.
She worked for ABC Radio but went missing during a night out with colleagues.
Her body was discovered six days later buried on the outskirts of Melbourne.
Adrian Bayley, who had a history of violent sex attacks, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum jail term of 35 years for her murder.
On Friday, coroner Ian Gray said Jill Meagher's death had been "preventable".
He pointed to failings by Community Correctional Services (CCS), a division of Corrections Victoria and the Adult Parole Board (APB), a separate body within the Department of Human services.
"A more rigorous, risk-averse approach by CCS and the APB would have led to a cancellation of Bayley's parole," Mr Gray said.
"The approach taken is difficult to understand ... it did not bring dangerous and high risk parolees immediately to account."
Bayley had been on parole for previous rapes when he raped and murdered Ms Meagher as she walked home from Brunswick in the early hours of 22 September 2012.
He was also on bail pending an appeal of a three-month sentence after pleading guilty to attacking a man outside a pub at Geelong in 2011.
At the time of that incident, Bayley had been on parole after serving eight years' jail for 16 counts of rape against five women.
He had already served time for rapes committed from the age of 18.
The coroner noted Victoria's parole system had been amended since Ms Meagher's murder.
Had it been changed when Bayley was charged with the Geelong assault, a representative from Corrections Victoria told the coroner, his parole probably would have been cancelled automatically when he was convicted of that offence.
"The poignant truth of this ... will resonate with Ms Meagher's husband, family and friends," the coroner said.
Matej Vydra's headed the hosts in front during a dominant first-half display.
Having secured promotion last week, the Hornets knew a win would see them claim their maiden Championship title.
But substitute Nuhiu scored from close range, as Watford were made to pay for failing to take their chances, with Bournemouth taking top spot.
Watford started brightly, finding plenty of joy down the right, with Marco Motta and Miguel Layun exposing the Sheffield Wednesday defence.
Captain and attacking talisman Troy Deeney was at the centre of the first moment of controversy, as he latched on to Ben Watson's through ball and went down in the box as he looked to round goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, although the Wednesday man looked to have his hands on the ball.
Watford continued to move forward with ease but the away fans made sure the home crowd knew Bournemouth had taken the lead against Charlton, as they belted out a chorus of "AFC Bournemouth, they're top of the league".
However, the party atmosphere returned to Vicarage Road midway through the first half as Vydra headed in his 16th league goal of the season.

Ikechi Anya almost made it two goals in two minutes but the winger could only find the side-netting from a tight angle.
Wednesday changed formation in an attempt to stem the attacks from Watford, but it was to no avail and the away side were lucky to go into the break only a goal down.
The Owls, safely situated in mid-table, came out looking to attack more in the second period and Chris Maguire and Tom Lees forced Heurelho Gomes in a couple of good saves.
Watford seemed to lose their attacking edge in the second half and were made to pay for failing to add to their narrow lead, as Nuhiu's equaliser in the 91st minute handed Bournemouth the title.
Watford head coach Slavisa Jokanovic: "We made mistakes during the game but the referee didn't give a penalty, it's a clear penalty and inside the last second of the game Nuhiu was offside 100% - I am sure of that.
"Promotion to the Premier League was our first target. We're disappointed we don't lift silverware, this was our dream, but now we must start thinking about what is in front of us."
Sheffield Wednesday boss Stuart Gray: "It feels like a huge point because at half-time I just could not believe we were only 1-0 down.
"That was probably one of the worst 45 minutes we've had. We were so disappointing.
"We were like a rabbit in the headlights. We gave them far too much respect, we stood off them, our passing was poor and then they created chance after chance."
Summer signing Murray, replacing the injured Callum Wilson, nodded in a Matt Ritchie cross to put the hosts ahead.
Watford were gifted an equaliser when Cherries goalkeeper Artur Boruc passed to Odion Ighalo, who side-footed home.
Bournemouth were awarded a penalty for Etienne Capoue's foul on Adam Smith, but Murray's effort was pushed away by Hornets keeper Heurelho Gomes.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Although Boruc's error and Murray's miss will frustrate Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, his side did survive a Ben Watson half-volley hitting the crossbar.
Bournemouth beat Watford to the Championship title by a point last season, but this was the third draw in their past four meetings.
Relive Bournemouth's draw against Watford
Reaction to Saturday's games
Murray shouldered the burden of scoring for his side with Wilson ruled out for six months after suffering a knee injury last week.
The £4m signing from Crystal Palace missed a close-range header at the far post from a Ritchie cross before atoning with his opener.
After Ighalo had equalised, Murray - a constant aerial threat throughout - headed just wide from among a crowd of players.
The 32-year-old had no hesitation in taking the 85th-minute penalty, only to see it saved.
Howe said: "No blame attached to Glenn. He was excellent and he was the heartbeat of most of what was good about our team.
"He's a totally different player to Callum Wilson. He brings different strengths and we're going to have to mould ourselves around Glenn as we did with Callum.
"We tweaked things slightly but we were still very effective."
Bournemouth looked like they were heading into half-time with a deserved lead before Boruc's blunder.

After controlling a Sylvain Distin backpass, Boruc gave the ball away to Ighalo, who shimmied past the Cherries keeper to score his fifth goal of the season.
Hornets keeper Gomes, by contrast, played a key role in earning his side a point.
The Brazilian acrobatically tipped over a superb 18-yard overhead kick from Cherries defender Steve Cook and dived to his left to save Murray's late spot-kick.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "There's no blame attached to Artur - we encourage our players and our goalkeeper to take responsibility and play from the back.
"It was just unfortunate with the timing of the goal. If Steve Cook's overhead kick had gone in, we'd have been talking about it for years to come, but Gomes has got a hand to it, and then he makes a top-class save for the penalty."
Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores: "We have given away two penalties in the last two matches. We have to find a balance between defence and attack.
"We had scored only six goals so everyone knows how important Gomes it to us - he is a leader. I thought the overhead kick was a goal, then he saved the penalty."
Bournemouth face a trip to Manchester City on 17 October after the international break, while Watford host Arsenal the same day.
The explosion targeted a building housing judges and prosecutors in Viransehir, in Sanliurfa province, which borders Syria.
Provincial governor Gungor Azim Tuna told the state news agency Anadolu that a child aged three had been killed.
Turkish cities and towns have been hit by several attacks in the past year.
Anadolu quoted Mr Tuna as saying that the bomb, which exploded at 20:45 local time (17:45 GMT), was detonated by remote control, after a man in his late teens or early 20s had left the car.
The child who died in the blast was the son of a court clerk, Mr Tuna said.
Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag condemned the attack which he said had specifically targeted the judiciary. He said it would not deter judges from doing their job.
The explosion shattered windows in nearby buildings and could be heard or seen throughout the town, witnesses said.
So far no group has said it was behind the blast but Turkey has suffered a number of attacks attributed to Kurdish militants and so-called Islamic State. Hundreds of people have been killed.
The outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which launched an armed struggle against the Turkish government in 1984 to push for an independent Kurdish state, has been labelled as a terrorist organisation by Turkey and its allies in the West.
Fighting flared up again after a two-year-old ceasefire ended in July 2015.
In August last year, a police officer in Viransehir, a mainly Kurdish and Arab town, died in an explosion also said to have been triggered by remote control.
And in May last year, police in the town shot dead four men who officials suspected were members of the PKK.
The pro-government Yeni Safak newspaper said that they had been planning to bomb a government building.
Four teams each from Ireland and Wales plus two each from Scotland and Italy make up the current format.
The possibility of the Six Nations moving to a spring start has encouraged hopes of Pro12 expansion.
"We've had really early discussions, with USA Rugby, broadcasters, sponsors," said Pro12 managing director Martin Anayi.
He wants the annual tournament involving England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Wales and Italy moved in the calendar and expects international governing body World Rugby to help that happen.
Speaking at the launch of the 2016-17 Pro12 season in Dublin, Anayi underlined the desire for north American teams to be included, with Houston and Vancouver having been earmarked as possible host cities.
He said: "Everyone's saying the same things, that if it's good for the tournament across a whole range of areas, player welfare, if it's good commercially, for the fans, and does it form part of their strategic plan too, then we should explore how far we can take it.
"They believe in the same things we do, which is the only way for a tier-two nation to become a tier-one nation is through professional club rugby.
"Because there is no scope to expand the international calendar, for the USA to play more games."
However, Anayi accepts that a long-talked-about global season has to be implemented for any Pro12 revamp to take place.
"You've got to talk about why it is that we're losing a huge proportion of international players not week in and week out, but in big chunks of the season," said Anayi.
"Intersperse that with European club rugby as well and you get quite a disjointed season.
"We think there's a simple solution, which is to push the Six Nations back and finish the club season before the Six Nations.
"We'll be really, really sure about our future and how successful club rugby can be globally if we can just get to the point where we get our international players playing in a consistent fashion."
Harrison struck twice in the opening half, the second from the penalty spot, to improve his tally to five goals in five games.

Dr Sarandev Bhambra, 25, was attacked with a machete by Zack Davies at a Tesco in Mold, Flintshire, in January.
Neo-Nazi Davies, 26, from Mold, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 14 years for attempted murder.
Dr Bhambra questioned whether the "barbaric incident" could have been prevented and called Davies a coward.
"He attacked me from behind and tried to behead me," dentist Dr Bhambra said outside court.
"By the grace of God I remained conscious and was able to defend myself.
"It is abhorrent that he has claimed that he tried to kill me in Lee Rigby's honour. My thoughts and prayers go out to Lee Rigby and his family."
Dr Bhambra, from Leeds, West Yorkshire, added: "While Zack Davies has been convicted and sentenced for attempting to kill me, I am convinced the background behind the incident has not been explored fully.
"Was I targeted? Mold is a small market town. Davies may have been aware of my movements.
"By his own admission Davies was a man that harboured a real hatred for non-whites. He had a history of violence and always carried a knife.
"He was, by his own admission, known to the police. Could this attack have been prevented?"
The trial heard items associated with white supremacy and Nazism were found at Davies's home, including banners, swastika badges and stickers for the extreme rightwing racist group, Combat 18.
During the attack, he was heard to say "white power", leading Dr Bhambra to also question why Davies was not considered a "terrorist" given his political ideals.
After the guilty verdict was delivered in June, Dr Bhambra's brother, Dr Tarlochan Singh Bhambra, said he was "in no doubt" the case would have been reported as an "act of terror" had the "racial disposition of this case been reversed".
The victim also said he would be meeting Peter Fuller, who is being honoured for coming to his defence during the attack.
Since the attack, Dr Bhambra has undergone intense physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
"Incidents of this nature are avoidable and have no place in our multicultural society," he added.
"There are no winners here and true justice is never served. I am moving on with my life both emotionally and professionally in an attempt to catch up on time that has been robbed from me.
"I will never understand racial hatred. What possesses a man to have so much distain for another person? I would not wish this experience on anyone and I will endeavour to gain positively from this totally negative ordeal."
North Wales Police Det Ch Insp Alun Oldfield defended the force's actions, insisting that racist and extremist incidents are taken "very seriously".
He said: "Having consulted with a number of agencies, including the Crown Prosecution Service, a joint decision was made to charge Davies with racially aggravated attempted murder.
"Although Davies was known to the police before this incident, there was nothing to suggest he posed an immediate risk to the public."
The tiny pad, featuring "scientific scholarly notes" written during the Bard's lifetime, left manuscripts specialist Matthew Haley "trembling".
The notebook is believed to have come from the collection of 18th Century antiquarian John Loveday of Caversham.
It will be shown on Sunday's episode.
The book was found by the five times great grandson of Loveday among his mother's belongings.
Mr Haley said it included detailed notes in Latin and suggested the jottings could have been the work of a student analysing the playwright's work.
"There is so much research that can be done on this item," said Mr Haley, who appraised the item at Caversham Park in Berkshire.
"It's amazing, it's almost completely illegible, but you can pick out the odd word, and you can pick out phrases that appear in Shakespeare."
He said it was "one of the best things" he had seen on the programme "by a fairly good stretch".
"I was completely knocked for six," he added.
The estimated value of the notebook will be revealed on Sunday's show, which will be broadcast at 20:00 on BBC One.
People living nearby were woken up by the woman screaming then saw the car reversing and "speeding off".
The cyclist said her "lucky rucksack" cushioned her head as she fell, and she has now come out of hospital.
Leicestershire Police are trying to trace the driver involved in the crash, which happened in Upperton Road in Leicester at 04:16 BST on Wednesday.
It happened at the same junction where a car being followed by police collided with a tipper truck, killing two men in the car.
The tipper truck then crashed into the front of Snutch News, which captured CCTV of the latest collision.
Owner Rama Varambhia said: "We were asleep and we just heard the noise of screaming.
"We looked through the window and could see this car reversing out and then speeding off in the other direction."
Mrs Varambhia and her husband were worried other drivers would not see the woman in the dark.
They saw another car coming and started shouting at it to stop.
Fortunately, the second car did stop and the driver got out to help.
"It's a good job she was screaming and we spotted it and ran down," said Mrs Varambhia.
"It's appalling that they [the first driver] didn't stop to check she was OK."
The cyclist has since returned to the shop to thank them.
"She was so lucky because her head fell on her rucksack," said Mrs Varambhia.
"She calls it her 'lucky rucksack'."
Mrs Varambhia's husband is a civil engineer and said some sort of traffic calming measure is needed at the junction.
Subhash Varambhia suggested changing the sequence of the traffic lights or having a yellow box junction.
Leicester City Council has been asked to comment.
Yellow "be aware" warnings are also in place for snow in southern and central Scotland and ice in the north east.
The amber warnings cover the Borders, Midlothian and East Lothian and the Shetland Islands.
About three to six centimetres (one to two inches) of snow was widely expected with 10cm (4in) possible on higher ground.
The warnings are valid overnight from Wednesday into Thursday.
Heavy snow started to fall across central Scotland early on Wednesday evening.
Bridge of Allan and Stirling were among the first places to be affected.
Scottish Borders Council has opened its emergency planning centre which was expected to remain operational until at least 10:00 on Thursday.
Ch Insp Andy McLean said: "We are urging members of the public not to travel unless their journey is absolutely necessary from 6pm tonight until 9am tomorrow.
"If we get the levels of snow forecast then travel across the region will become extremely difficult, and high volumes of traffic will cause issues with snow clearance, as was the case in the Hawick area last Friday when we had sudden, heavy snowfall.
"If any motorists become stranded we would advise them to contact Police Scotland on 101 and wait for assistance. Drivers should not abandon their cars, as this leads to further problems."
Gritters have been pre-salting primary routes and will be running throughout the night.
Additional resources have also been put in place on a number of key routes by Transport Scotland, including the A68 at Soutra and Carter Bar and on the A7.
As a result of the snowfall forecast, and the likely levels in the morning, the council has taken the decision to cancel all school transport on Thursday morning.
A decision on school closures was expected by 06:00 on Thursday.
Jim Fraser, SBC's emergency planning officer, said: "We are urging members of the public to stay off the roads tonight if at all possible and keep up to date with the latest situation via local radio and the council's website and social media channels.
"All necessary winter maintenance has been carried out this afternoon on primary routes and our gritters will be out throughout this evening in an attempt to keep key routes open for emergency travel."
The incident happened in the St David's area of Old Colwyn, Conwy county, at about 09:30 BST on Wednesday.
North Wales Police said a man, 29, has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and assault.
Insp Kelly Isaacs said: "I would like to reassure the local community that we are not looking for anyone else in relation to this incident."
The claim: The government's figures on business rates are misleading because they exclude inflation and an appeals adjustment.
Reality Check verdict: The figures do exclude both those things, but government publications specify that they do. The government's figures are for the situation after any appeals have been completed, so they depend on how accurately it has predicted their outcome.
The overall effect of all the changes comes to zero, which means that the policy is revenue neutral.
But there is a key caveat at the bottom of the table, which is that the figures are: "Before inflation and the adjustment to the multiplier for future appeal outcomes."
The inflation part is widely known. The measure of inflation used will become CPI (Consumer Price Index) instead of RPI (Retail Price Index), which will usually mean the increase is smaller, but that change will not happen until 2020. Increasing rates for RPI will add about 2% per year.
But the other part is a bit more complicated - it is the adjustment required to make sure that the changes in rates are revenue neutral even after some businesses have appealed against the rated value of their premises and won.
Analysis from the property consultants Gerald Eve suggested that the adjustment would be between four and five percentage points. They did that by working out how much business rates would change across the country to find out what adjustment would then be needed to make the policy revenue neutral again.
They add that including both the inflation and the appeals adjustment means that business rates will fall in 135 of the 326 local authorities in England, not 259 as the government claimed.
The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has strongly disputed suggestions that it has misled people with its figures, but has not disputed the suggestion that the appeals adjustment is between four and five percentage points.
Speaking on the Today Programme, Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said he thought the figures provided, "might not be giving the picture that businesses in the real world are going to get when they get their bills".
This is certainly true. The DCLG has been clear that its figures are before inflation and the appeals adjustment.
The government's figures are for the situation after any appeals have been completed, so they depend on how accurately it has predicted their outcome.

He said it showed "a lack of understanding" of English.
He made his remark after Labour's Baroness Jones of Whitchurch used the expression in the House of Lords to describe "empty vegetable shelves".
The government offered reassurance that, among lettuces, only the iceberg variety was in short supply.
Retailers have blamed poor weather in Spain and Italy for limiting stocks of some vegetables, including courgettes and spinach.
In the House of Lords, Baroness Jones said of environment minister Lord Gardiner of Kimble: "He will have seen the news reports of vegetable shelves in supermarkets, with the crisis expected to last until the spring.
"And, meanwhile, prices have trebled in part because it costs more to fly vegetables from the USA and Egypt than it does to bring them overland from Spain."
In his critique of Baroness Jones's comments, Lord Tebbit, a former chairman of the Conservative Party, narrowed his focus to a particular vegetable.
He asked peers: "Might any rational man or woman think that to describe a shortage of lettuces in a supermarket as a 'crisis' shows a lack of understanding of the meaning of the word in the English language?"
In response, Lord Gardiner said: "I was seeking to be courteous to the baroness, but it's certainly not a crisis. The only shortage will be of iceberg lettuces, which we think will be for about a few months - and there's a wonderful variety called cos, which is even better."
He added: "I was pleased only this morning to hear that cauliflowers from Cornwall are coming on to the market, so we have a great opportunity to buy some British vegetables."
During the winter, Spain's south-eastern Murcia region supplies 80% of Europe's fresh produce. But after suffering its heaviest rainfall in 30 years, only 30% of its growing fields were deemed useable.
This has coincided with a cold snap in Italy, which normally exports vegetables but instead had to start importing them.
Lord Gardiner said his officials had spoken to workers at London's New Covent Garden, the UK's largest wholesale fruit, vegetable, and flower market, who had reported an "improving" supply situation.
Mr Smith, who becomes shadow Northern Ireland secretary, is the only senior figure who quit the frontbench in 2016 to return following Labour's better-than-expected election result.
John McDonnell, Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry all keep their current jobs.
And campaign managers Andrew Gwynne and Ian Lavery are rewarded with new roles.
Mr Lavery will now chair the Labour Party while Mr Gwynne has been named shadow communities secretary. Both remain as co-national campaign co-ordinators in anticipation of what Labour believes could be another general election within months.
In other moves, the newly elected MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, Lesley Laird, becomes shadow Scottish secretary.
There had been speculation that the likes of Yvette Cooper and Hilary Benn might return to the shadow cabinet but they are likely to focus on securing re-election as chairs of the influential home affairs and Brexit select committees respectively.
Mr Corbyn said on Tuesday that his party should be in "permanent campaign mode" in light of Theresa May's attempts to form a minority government with the backing of the Democratic Unionists.
"I look forward to working with the strengthened shadow cabinet as we prepare a government in waiting to carry out our manifesto for the many not the few," Mr Corbyn said.
"I am therefore appointing Ian Lavery to the additional role of Labour Party chair to strengthen our campaigning and party organisation."

Russia is planning to drill for gas and oil in the Arctic Ocean.
The Russian government says the country's future wealth depends on finding oil in the Arctic.
But scientists say the region is home to walruses and polar bears, which could be put at risk.
The team say there are signs that drilling could disrupt the natural habitat of the creatures.
They are hoping their research will help them campaign for special laws to be put in place to protect the land and the animals there.
The 24-year-old, who joined from Liverpool for £3m last month, played 38 games for the Rams back in 2013-14.
"I always want to strive forward whether it's on loan or if I am there permanently, I always have goals every season," Wisdom told BBC Radio Derby.
"It is great here at Derby, I want to improve and progress as a player."
The defender is one of two new signings for manager Gary Rowett, with Curtis Davies joining from Hull City for an undisclosed fee.
Wisdom played for the Rams on Tuesday in their 4-0 pre-season win over Kidderminster - his first game for the club since being part of the starting XI which lost the 2014 Championship play-off final to QPR at Wembley.
"Everyone knows that I love Derby. It is good to be back. I had a great time when I was here before and it is great to see all the lads again," Wisdom continued.
"Then there's all the guys that I didn't know and it feels like I have been here for ages. It's a good feeling.
"When I was here last time we had a great run and it was a great season for us.
"I am sure hard work, determination, the right results and a bit of luck here and there, hopefully we can do the same.
"You know what football is like, it's up and down. Hopefully we can concentrate on pre-season and take that into the season."
The 34-year-old died in hospital after he was electrocuted on the outdoor pitch at Mountbatten Leisure Centre in Portsmouth on Sunday evening.
Hampshire Constabulary said investigations into the circumstances of his death are continuing.
The centre is managed by Parkwood Community Leisure on behalf of Portsmouth City Council.
The taxi firm which Mr Xhediku worked for paid tribute to him on Facebook.
The company posted: "Our deepest sympathies and thoughts are with the family and friends of Albert Xhediku, taken away in such tragic circumstances. R I P Albert - you will be missed."
Manager Glenn Madden said Mr Xhediku "was a good lad... You wouldn't wish this on anyone".
He said Mr Xhediku had worked with the company since October and had recently returned from visiting family in the Balkans.
A diesel scrappage scheme would be part of a new strategy to improve air quality after Europe said UK proposals did not go far enough.
The reports said ministers may opt for a scheme that pays drivers up to £2,000 towards a new, cleaner car.
However, it is likely to be restricted to certain drivers to minimise costs.
Options could include limiting payments to owners living in the areas suffering the worst pollution, or those on low incomes.
The scheme is expected to be announced in the coming days.
Diesel cars emit nitrogen oxides linked to lung conditions such as asthma, with older models said to be particularly polluting.
The UK had almost 12,000 premature deaths linked to nitrogen dioxide in 2013, according to the European Environment Agency. That was the second-highest total in Europe after Italy.
There are about 11.2 million diesel cars on UK roads, 17% of which are more than 12 years old.
Neil Parish, chair of the Commons environment committee, supports the scrappage plan and will use a parliamentary debate on Wednesday to raise the proposal.
He is expected to tell MPs that government funding of £500m would take nearly 10% of the five million dirtiest diesels off the road.
This would target as many as half of the most polluting diesel vehicles in UK air quality hotspots, Mr Parish will say.
Last year, the government was told to strengthen its plans to tackle pollution after a judicial review found its existing proposals to be "woefully inadequate".
It is also said to be considering new taxes on dirty vehicles, although Theresa May has said she did not want punish drivers who have been encouraged to buy diesel cars by previous governments.
Under the new scrappage plan, half of the payments could come from the government with the rest coming from car manufacturers.
A previous scheme in 2009/10 offered drivers cash payments of £1,000 to trade in their aging cars.
This was topped up by matching payments from the car industry and took almost 400,000 of the most polluting vehicles off UK roads. | A total of 48 of England's NHS trusts were hit by Friday's cyber-attack, but only six are not yet back to normal, Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said.

Swansea will pay up to £5m - plus Taylor - for the Ghana international who has signed a three-and-a-half year deal at the Liberty Stadium.
Ayew is the brother of former Swansea forward Andre Ayew.
"I'm sure his brother has given him the inside track on the club," said Swans head coach Paul Clement.
"He is a very good acquisition. He's versatile and dynamic to attack the lines and get in behind defences.
"He will certainly give us something different to what we've got."
The 25-year-old Ayew, whose brother Andre played for Swansea last season before joining West Ham for £20.5m, is currently with Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Taylor, 27, has made more than 150 appearances for the club since his arriving from Wrexham, who could still receive a cash windfall through a sell-on clause.
His departure ends a six-and-a-half year association with the Swans.
The left-back moved to the Liberty from non-league club Wrexham in 2010 and played for the Swans 179 times.
"Neil has been a great servant for this club. I had a really nice discussion with him about his position," added Clement.
"He said he wanted to take this opportunity and I supported that. It's the right time for him to have a new challenge and we wish him all the best.
"We brought Martin Olsson in from Norwich so we ended up with three left-backs with Neil and Stephen [Kingsley] as well. I only really need two."
Elsewhere, a potential loan move for Benfica defender Lisandro Ezequiel Lopez will not happen.
Meanwhile, the club's Dutch striker Marvin Emnes has rejoined Blackburn on loan.
The first prosecution witness, who gave evidence on Tuesday, was not named.
But the BBC's Odhiambo Joseph in Nairobi says a local news site has published the photograph of a woman it claims to be the witness.
Mr Ruto denies organising violence after the December 2007 elections.
He is charged with crimes against humanity over the violence, in which some 1,200 people died and 600,000 were forced from their homes.
ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda has previously complained that some witnesses were being intimidated in Kenya, some of whom have withdrawn from the case.
Her first witness gave evidence from behind a curtain and with her face pixelated and voice distorted on the court video.
She is being referred to as witness 536.
Our correspondent says that, after her appearance, numerous bloggers and social media entries have published her supposed name.
Beryl Aidi, from the Kenyan Human Rights Commission, says this may deter further witnesses from testifying.
"Now that a witness has been identified it will be difficult to assure others that they and their family members will be safe. And in Kenya, it's not just the nuclear family: There are aunts, uncles, cousins," the AFP news agency quotes her as saying.
"Witnesses are bound to feel that their family and their extended family may be in danger and might want to withdraw," she said.
The proceedings are being closely followed in Kenya.
Presiding Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji warned that anyone revealing the identity of a protected witness could be guilty of contempt of court.
Our reporter says that the ICC does have jurisdiction in Kenya, but the situation is complicated as it would rely on political good will.
Furthermore, parliament recently voted to withdraw from the ICC, which would end the court's jurisdiction in the country.
Witness 536 broke down in court during her testimony on Tuesday.
She is said to have survived the attack on the Kiambaa Church in which about 36 people were burnt to death.
She is a member of the Kikuyu ethnic group, who were targeted by Mr Ruto's Kalenjin community, allegedly at his behest.
Mr Ruto is the first serving official to appear at the ICC.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is due to start his trial in November - he too denies the charges.
There are at least 70 names on it - 15 people have been admitted overnight - meaning he's going to be busy.
Before he can begin, the chaplain's phone rings, alerting him to another patient who may need his attention.
Making his way through the busy corridors to a side ward, his first visit is with Tom Carson, who is recovering after a serious eye operation.
The pair have built up a rapport over the past days that becomes obvious as they chat about Mr Carson's return home, before taking a few moments to say a prayer together.
Mr Carson, a retired features editor at the Belfast Telegraph, has been well cared for by his family, but says the extra support he received from the chaplain was especially welcome at a time when he felt vulnerable.
"A kindness, a goodness and a feeling of fellowship - these things are so important when you are in a critical situation in hospital," he says.
"The things that you hold dear are important and if you find someone who shares that background in faith it can be heartening and lifting at a time of trauma like this."
Mr Harrison is just one of a team of about 40 chaplains in the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, about 20 of whom are volunteers.
Apart from the five main churches, Baptists and Pentecostals, there are representatives from the Hindu, Jewish and Muslim faiths as well as a humanist volunteer.
Five full-time chaplains split most of their time between the two acute hospitals, the Royal Victoria Hospital and the Mater Hospital.
The Reverend Derek Johnston is the lead chaplain at the Royal and he says their services are in demand even in an increasingly secular age.
"On average, statistically in the Belfast Trust about 60% of patients request a visit from a chaplain, so it is not a minority service," he says.
"We can show that chaplains do about 1,500 patient visits per week, and of those about 500 are done by volunteers."
Based in a small office set off off from the bustle of the Royal's main foyer, Mr Johnston explains what he sees as the role of the chaplain.
In a world of stretched resources, with too many patients and too few healthcare workers, they can give the patient time.
He says that as well as providing pastoral services they are able to view the patient as a whole person.
"Whether their leg is broken or their head is hurting, their inner values can come to the fore," he says.
"While their physical needs can be treated, they also need someone to say: 'Hello, how are you and how are you coping? How are you getting through this and can we help you while you are here?'
"So we have a role in providing that extra element of care - medical, social and psychological care is needed, but the religious and spiritual side is vital in treating the person."
In the Belfast Health Trust's acute hospitals, there are chaplains on call 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
They soon come to learn that the late night calls can be the saddest as they often deal with trauma and tragedy, someone who has died or is dying.
In spite of the intense nature of the work, Catholic chaplain Father Robert Sloan says it is a privilege.
"There are a lot of sad moments, but there are a lot of joys, particularly when someone recovers," he says.
"To see them leave the hospital after coming into intensive care is great.
"Sometimes when you hear the radio and there's been an accident overnight you think: 'Will I meet that person today?'
"But you just take each day as it comes."
Bradford controlled the first half, Jordan Archer saving well to stop Billy Clarke giving them the lead at Wembley.
Millwall improved and Jed Wallace dragged a shot wide when put through.
But Morison stabbed in Lee Gregory's header to send Millwall to the second tier after two years away, with Lions fans invading the pitch at full-time.
Tony McMahon had Bradford's best chance to equalise in stoppage time, but the full-back could only fire wide from a tight angle.
Millwall fans flooded on to the pitch at the final whistle, but although a small number of supporters confronted Bradford's dejected players there did not appear to be signs of serious trouble.
Those scenes could do nothing to dampen the Lions' players spirits, however, as they laid to rest their demons from play-off final defeat by Barnsley a year ago.
Bradford were aiming to return to the Championship for the first time since suffering relegation in 2004, and they looked well set to do so after a dominant first-half showing.
Clarke and Mark Marshall were particularly influential, regularly finding space in between Millwall's defence and midfield.
But the Bantams were punished for poor decisions and the lack of a final ball, with Clarke's chance their only real opportunity.
Marshall broke free down the left on a counter-attack, and weighted his through ball perfectly into the path of Clarke.
But Archer - who conceded twice in 20 minutes in Millwall's defeat by Barnsley at Wembley last season - made a wonderful save to his left to turn the ball behind.
Millwall made a similarly slow start to this year's final, but this time Archer and his defence held firm against waves of pressure.
Neil Harris' side emerged a different team after the break, with Wallace inches away from handing his side the lead after being played through by Gregory.
Bradford offered less of a threat as the game went on, and Millwall's direct approach finally paid dividends inside the final 10 minutes.
Wallace's cross from the left was flicked on brilliantly by Gregory, with Morison holding off James Meredith at the back post to secure his side a place in the Championship.

The accident happened on the A711 near Tower Wood, outside Dumfries, at about 22:00 on Sunday.
The collision involved a black Vauxhall Astra. Police said that as a result of the crash both occupants of the vehicle had died at the scene.
The road was closed to allow for accident investigations and reopened shortly before 05:00.
PC Rebecca Wylie said: "We are carrying out a full crash investigation into this collision and would ask that anyone who may have witnessed it to get in touch with us at Dumfries on the 101 number.
"We are particularly keen to speak with the occupants of an estate car that we believe may have stopped at the scene shortly after the crash."
It was a chance for fans to say goodbye to the maritime aircraft, which is being decommissioned after 41 years.
Four Mark 8 Lynxes toured military sites associated with the helicopter after departing from their Yeovilton base.
They flew over locations including Weston-super-Mare, Lyme Regis and Navy Command Headquarters in Portsmouth.
The Lynx, which will be decommissioned at the end of the month, was based at RNAS Portland in Dorset for over half of its service before moving to RNAS Yeovilton.
The British-made aircraft remains popular, with a Lynx Community celebrating the flypast in Weymouth and Portland.
The Mark 8s flew over Glastonbury Tor, Rolls Royce Filton, Weston-Super-Mare helicopter museum, Devonport and Britannia Royal Naval College before following the coast to Lyme Regis.
They also flew over their birthplace the Westland factory in Yeovil before visiting Portland, Lulworth, Sandbanks and Fleetlands, before reaching their eastern most point, the Isle of Dogs, and following the River Thames westwards through Middle Wallop, Boscombe Down and Compton Abbas.
One in five children in London are obese, which is higher than the England average of 18.7%, the report said.
But obesity was linked to deprivation with well-off Richmond having the lowest rate at 12% while 28.6% of 10 to 11-year-olds in Westminster are obese.
The study urged Mayor Boris Johnson to take a coordinated city-wide approach.
The mayor's office said he was working towards a "pan-London initiative".
The study, commissioned by the Health and Public Services Committee, found 240,000 children in London were obese.
It found 11.6% of four to five-year-olds were obese which increases to 21.8% in the 10-11 age group. Another 160,000 children are overweight.
The rate of obesity has jumped in the past 15 years and boys were at greater risk.
Children in the Bangladeshi, Black Caribbean and Black African communities were considered high risk, but obesity was linked more to deprivation than ethnicity, the report found.
Westminster (28.6%), Southwark (26%) and Newham (25.9%) had the highest rates of obesity in the 10-11 age group.
While in Richmond, only 12.1% children (aged 10-11) were obese, followed by Kingston at 16.7% and Bromley at 17.2%.
The report said if 79% of these children became obese adults, London would spend £110.8m tackling the problem annually.
Committee chairman James Cleverly, said: "London has the highest percentage of obese children in the England and obesity prevalence has increased sharply in recent years.
"There is a strong case for the mayor to intervene on this issue and we want to see a new obesity strategy for the capital."
The report found the mayor has undertaken several initiatives, but lifestyle counselling by GPs, walking schemes and school bus programmes were the least effective while those combining dietary advice and physical activity worked best.
The committee urged Mr Johnson to formulate a new coordinated strategy by 2013, set out funding beyond 2012 and to evaluate current initiatives through the new London Health Improvement Board.
Pamela Chesters, mayor's health advisor, said the mayor was "delighted" by the prospect of the new board under his leadership.
"It will be possible to make real inroads into the health challenges affecting the capital, including childhood obesity," she added.
The new board will meet this summer to determine its priorities.
It believes that cardholders would be more protected from con-artists if they could block the card from remote purchases at certain times.
The bank's app now includes an option to reduce daily ATM withdrawal limits, from the typical level of £300.
Such a move would reduce any losses from thefts at cash machines.
Fraud losses across all payment cards, remote banking and cheques in the UK totalled £769m in 2016, according to Financial Fraud Action, the industry's anti-fraud body - an increase of 2% on the previous year.
There were a total of 1.9 million cases of financial fraud during 2016.
Barclays said that while frauds, such as identity fraud, led to full compensation to customers, this was often not the case from scams.
Online shopping scams, for example, could lead to significant losses for victims, if banks were not able to step in before payments went through.
The bank claims that its option to control debit card use - such as blocking remote use and plans to introduce a temporary block on any transactions - was a first among High Street banks. Barclays has 24 million UK customers, of which about five million have the app.
The aim is to block any opportunity for a con-artist to go on a spending spree, were they to trick somebody out of the card details.
The official launch of the service coincides with a major advertising campaign by the bank about the threat of fraud.
"As a society our confidence in using digital technology to shop, pay our bills and connect with others has grown faster than our knowledge of how to do so safely," said Ashok Vaswani, chief executive of Barclays UK.
"We all need to boost our digital safety levels in order to close the gap."
However, critics have consistently challenged the banking sector for failing to protect customers adequately from the threat of fraud.
The emergency services were alerted to the blaze at 23:50 on Sunday.
Five appliances from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service tackled the fire in Logan Way.
The house has been destroyed and the property next door badly damaged.
But the smartphone - wonderful as it is for many things - is not that great for shopping online.
Yes, we can use it as a digital wallet to pay for things in shops, search online and browse catalogues, but when it comes to the buying online bit, mobile comes up short.
For most of us, it's just too fiddly tapping in credit card numbers, names, billing and delivery addresses.
The figures bear this out. More than 90% of us abandon our online shopping baskets or carts when attempting to buy something on mobile, compared to about 68% shopping via desktop or tablet.
Online sales in the US and Europe total about £360bn ($582bn; €426bn). Of these, 10% are made via smartphone in the US; the figure is 7% in Europe, according to the Centre for Retail Research.
"As a brand we don't do anywhere near well enough," admits James Gold, co-founder of fashion accessories brand, Skinny Dip.
"About 15% of our traffic comes from mobile, but the conversion rate relative to desktop and tablet is so much lower. We know we have to make mobile a much better shopping experience."
So what's the solution?
Dan Wagner, founder of Powa Technologies, believes his company has built a platform that makes smartphone shopping much easier.
"We've created a new type of e-commerce platform that allows you to wave your phone over a product or image, tap your phone and buy without filling in lots of forms," he tells the BBC.
"We are transforming commerce and advertising."
The PowaTag system relies on digital tags, like traditional quick response (QR) codes, that can be inserted into emails, websites, posters, images - even the audio from TV ads, Shazam-style.
Shoppers download the app, set up an account and store their payment cards. Then wherever they see the PowaTag symbol they can buy the product by scanning it with their phone and tapping the "buy now" button.
Mr Wagner says 1,200 brands and retailers around the world have signed up to the platform, including L'Oreal USA, Carrefour and Samsonite.
The firm has just launched an advert image recognition facility for the app - take a photo of the ad and then buy the product. It is also working on video recognition, so shoppers could buy products being showcased in online video ads or video blogs.
But until it flexes its marketing muscles and signs up a lot more retailers it is in danger of remaining a niche product. And the fact that there is no directory of PowaTag-enabled retailers is a serious oversight.
Of course, Amazon has already successfully established one-click ordering for account holders, which is fine if you're happy to do all your shopping there.
But if you want more variety, you're back to the same problem of cumbersome registration and form-filling at other websites.
Unless you use an app like Zen Shopping.
It offers one-tap checkout at more than 100,000 stores - including Amazon and Walmart - and claims the biggest inventory of goods in the world.
You can compare prices and if the product you've just bought could be found cheaper elsewhere, it will let you know if you are entitled to a refund.
Its drawback - there always seems to be one - is that it is only available to US Apple iPhone users.
But the company says an international version is coming "soon" as well as a version for Android phones.
PayPal has successfully simplified the payment process, but not all retailers accept it.
And the same goes for digital wallets like Apple Pay - not much use if you don't have an iPhone or the retailer doesn't yet accept it. Google Wallet, by most accounts, hasn't been a rip-roaring success after four years.
But what if you had a secure digital wallet that worked everywhere?
Dashlane, a tech company with offices in Paris and New York, believes it offers just that. It manages all your passwords, credit and debit card numbers, phone numbers, billing and delivery addresses in one encrypted app.
Three-quarters of its four million users worldwide use it as a more convenient way of handling the checkout process when making online purchases, chief executive Emmanuel Schalit tells the BBC.
The main advantage from the retailer's point of view is that there's no point-of-sale technology to install - all the encryption takes place within the app or web browser extension.
And for shoppers understandably wary about hackers stealing credit card details, the fact that all such data is kept in encrypted form on the app or browser extension, and not on retailers' servers, gives an added layer of security.
"All your data is encrypted using digital keys we've never seen or touched," says Mr Schalit.
"So if you forget your main password your data is useless - we can't access it. Which, actually, is a good way to convince people that their data is safe."
Dashlane has facilitated $4bn (£2.6bn) of transactions so far, he says. And the app has the added advantage that it works with all payment methods and all retail websites.
Smartphone shopping is on the rise, despite the difficulties, says Andy Mulcahy of IMRG, the online retail association.
Over the Black Friday weekend in November, UK shoppers spent £3.3bn online - about £472m via smartphones, compared to about £1bn on tablets.
"Increasing sales growth through smartphones has been a feature of the past year," says Mr Mulcahy.
"It's likely this jump was due to the nature of these discount events - people receiving emails on their phone and jumping straight in so as not to miss out on the deals."
But retailers are still playing catch-up when it comes to smartphone shopping - research from Foolproof reveals that half of shoppers would happily switch from plastic to digital loyalty cards, for example.
Special offers sent to phones tend to get a good response - we like the convenience and immediacy.
So once they crack the online purchasing part, sales via mobile should go through the roof.

The 59-year-old, who was on a Yamaha, hit a Nissan car between Handley's Corner and Barre Garroo crossroads, near Ballaskyr Farm, at about 17:00 BST on Sunday.
He was airlifted to Noble's Hospital but was pronounced dead later.
The car driver, who was Northern Irish, was treated in hospital and has since been discharged.
Another motorcyclist who was injured after the rider and car crashed has also been released from hospital.
The crash happened outside of the TT racing, which is currently taking place on the island.
Isle of Man Police have asked anyone who witnessed the collision to get in touch.
"It was really dangerous, I can't forget that time or that moment, where I felt I may no longer be alive. It was the moment I became the leader of women's football in Afghanistan. My voice was stronger and stronger and I changed the nation, from just playing football to talking about women's rights and issues women are facing in the country.
"There were people who were really against my activities and against women's development. They didn't like me to be there, they didn't like to hear or to see women developing a strong voice. Women not obeying men's rules or women who want to be leaders and stand in front and encourage others. When men begin to lose their power to women, it gets very dangerous because men don't want to lose their power."
Popal began playing football as a teenager in Kabul behind closed doors after school. In order to not get caught she and her friends would play in silence so the Taliban guards on the other side of the school wall would not hear them.
Despite the danger and difficulties, the 29-year-old still fondly remembers the first time she kicked a ball.
"It was a great day, it was raining and almost autumn. I remember one of my classmates and I had an old ball, a very old one and we took it and were kicking the ball with normal shoes. At that time there were no special football shoes.
"It was fantastic, we were laughing a lot and really enjoying the time playing football. We were wearing our school uniforms with scarves on and we were running like crazy and got so tired."
It was not too long before those post-school kickabouts were replaced by something that was going to take over Popal's life. "Very quickly the idea changed from just having fun to really taking the game seriously; when I began to face problems and ignorance, and some of the men started against me and against our game that we were playing.
"The community didn't want to accept us, we were playing what has always been thought of as a man's game in our country. The view was that women should always be at home, just be a machine that washes and were used by men, that is the culture of women in Afghanistan.
"It was just after Taliban had left the country, it was a really tough time for women, especially those who played football, studied or went to work."
The women who played football were accused of flouting Islam and called prostitutes by their detractors.
Popal continued: "Of course there is nothing in the Koran which says you shouldn't play football. The religion is apart from sports. Playing football is good for the women's health and is not against religion. Women against women playing sport is not sexual and is not against any kind of religion, let alone Islam."
Despite the difficulties that Popal and her team-mates faced, they were determined to try to inspire the next generation - and in 2007 the Afghanistan women's football team were formed. Their first game was against an International Security Assistance Forces team at the Ghazi Stadium in Kabul in the same year. Afghanistan won 5-0, but the match was about so much more than that, considering what had happened in the Ghazi Stadium in previous years.
Citing Sharia law, Taliban officials carried out lashings, stonings, amputations and executions in public places such as squares, schools or sports grounds.
The sports stadiums in Kabul and Kandahar were notorious for such spectacles with thousands of people attending.
"I remember the time that we played in the same stadium in Kabul where women were shot. It was kind of a revolution, a huge change. I remember thinking that it was a huge change because before, women were shot in that penalty area and now I was kicking a football there," said Popal.
"It was emotional, but I was feeling the power, the power to change something, I was fighting for that woman who was killed and not to have to go back to a that situation when innocent women were shot."
In December 2010, Afghanistan's women played their first international, a 13-0 defeat by Nepal at the South Asian Women's Football Championship in Bangladesh.
"I remember we went to an international tournament and we stood under our flag," said Popal. "I remember the first time we heard the national anthem, it was emotional, we were all crying because it was such a great achievement for us.
"The first time I wore the national team shirt I was very proud, I felt like I won the fight I was battling for a long time. We fought for that jersey and for that uniform and finally we got permission to earn that moment."
In April 2011 Popal decided that she needed to leave Afghanistan for her own safety. With the help of a friend she fled to India, where she lived underground.
"At the time I needed the most protection, my country closed the door. I went to the government and I asked them to help me, but they didn't. It is my land, it is my country, it is my identity and when the time came when I, and others needed their help, they closed the door. You feel broken and it hurts really bad. When you are fighting you don't want to lose, but you have to accept you lost and the feeling that you left that battle, that nation."
Popal now lives as a refugee in Denmark, but remains very involved in Afghan women's football. She also worked very closely with the sportswear company Hummel to design a lightweight hijab, to make it easier for the players who choose to wear it.
"It will change the mentality of some of the families, who say it is against the culture for them to play. Wearing a hijab will open the door for them to play. Those who wear the new hijab have found that it makes playing easier, it is more comfortable and so much better than wearing a big scarf which slows you down."
Afghanistan have climbed to 108 in the Fifa world rankings and Popal remains very proud of what they have been able to achieve.
"It was worth it to take that step or that fight. It doesn't matter where I end up or where I am in the world. I will continue to participate and co-ordinate the programmes and help my country from far away. That is the thing that has kept me alive and happy and it motivates me to work hard for my country, because I love my country."
Khalida Popal was speaking to the BBC World Service as part of the Elite to grassroots football series.
Paige Chivers went missing in Blackpool in 2007 but her body has never been found.
Robert Ewing, 60, denies killing her and perverting the course of justice.
Co-defendant Gareth Dewhurst, 46, denies helping dispose of her body and a serious sexual offence.
Giving evidence at Preston Crown Court, Mr Ewing was asked by defence barrister Stuart Denney why he had made references to Paige being a "hide and seek champion".
He answered: "I'm absolutely convinced to this day she is still alive somewhere. Just hiding."
The prosecution has claimed Mr Ewing had an inappropriate sexual interest in the teenager and took advantage of her "chaotic and dysfunctional" upbringing.
But when asked by Mr Denney if he ever had any kind of sexual contact with Paige, he replied: "None at all."
Mr Ewing, of Kincraig Place, Blackpool, earlier told the court that the reason he moved carpet and flooring tiles from his flat shortly after she disappeared was because of his smelly cat.
The jury also heard he was once a member of the National Front and was interested in right-wing politics.
Mr Ewing met his co-accused when he applied to join the British National Party in Blackpool and they became close friends.
The court heard pages of his diary had been torn out during 2007 - the year Paige disappeared.
He said he suffered from memory loss and would write entries as reminders, and had removed them when no longer required.
The trial continues.
The Parliament won permission at the Court of Session to serve action on the IndyCamp Live group, who aim to remain in place until Scotland is independent.
The campaigners now have 21 days to respond to the parliament's claim for recovery of possession of the land.
The group declined to comment on the latest development, but has previously insisted it would not be leaving.
Tents were pitched at the end of November, with campers taking inspiration from the Democracy for Scotland vigil which campaigned for Scottish devolution in the 1990s.
They plan to keep the camp occupied full-time until Scottish independence from the UK is declared.
The Scottish Parliament has launched legal action against the group, saying they are preventing other members of the public from using the public space.
The parliament also contends that the presence of the group is at "odds with the policy of maintaining the political neutrality of the parliamentary estate".
A spokesman said: "We recognise the importance of peaceful protests in a democratic society.
"However, by seeking to occupy this land on a long term basis, and refusing our request to vacate, we have had no alternative but to commence legal proceedings to return the land to wider public use."
Leaders at the camp said they would not be commenting to the media until they have installed cameras at the site to record any interactions.
Sir John Parker said new ships were also being ordered too late, creating a "vicious cycle" which was depleting the fleet and wasting taxpayers' money.
He said Navy contracts should be shared among companies across the UK to cut build time and spread prosperity.
The defence secretary said that approach had already proved successful in building new aircraft carriers.
Sir John's warnings echo those of the Commons defence select committee last week, which warned that Britain's defences were at risk amid uncertainty over plans to replace the "woefully low" number of warships.
What could this mean for jobs on the Clyde?
Sir John, chairman of mining giant Anglo American, was tasked with examining how the British naval shipbuilding industry could be made sustainable while increasing exports.
He recommended the government should:
The First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Philip Jones - head of the Royal Navy - welcomed the report's recommendations about shipbuilding, saying Sir John had recognised the "latent potential" and "capacity" in the wider UK ship building sector.
The Royal Navy now has an "hugely ambitious growth agenda for the first time in a generations", he told the BBC, with an increased defence budget and the opportunity to grow the Navy.
"That is a hugely ambitious and optimistic place to be and I am determined to make sure that right across the nation people recognise that their Navy is ready respond to that and grow in an appropriate way, and I think that is good news," he added.
Sir John's review called for "pace and grip" from the government to capitalise on what he called a renaissance in shipbuilding in regional commercial yards.
Distributing work on new vessels to several locations would reduce the "cycle time of actual construction" which was a "very important part of competitiveness".
Sir John, a former chairman of Belfast-based Harland and Wolff shipbuilding group, found that BAE Systems' UK monopoly on building naval warships for the MoD had led to "gaps in the industrial programmes" at the shipyard which led to inefficiencies and added costs.
He said the government should look to "harness the economies available within the wider UK shipbuilding supply chain to seek improved value for money".
Earlier this month, Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon announced that eight larger Type 26 frigates would be built by BAE on the Clyde in Glasgow from next summer.
But he has not confirmed whether Type 31 frigates will be built there.
Sir John told the BBC the Type 31 vessels should be "built in the most competitive way".
He went on: I think our investigation shows that probably the lowest cost and the fastest time of build can be done by building it in a distributed way across the country and also, of course, distribute prosperity and highly skilled jobs."
To date, there had been limited national effort placed on exporting ships and designs were not tested for a foreign market, Sir John said.
New Type 31 frigates should have a modern standard design which could be customised to suit both the Royal Navy and the export market, he recommended.
The defence secretary said Sir John had provided a "fundamental reappraisal of how we undertake shipbuilding in the UK".
He said that while there was already a "vibrant" shipbuilding sector in Scotland, there were significant opportunities to widen the base.
The government will publish its formal response in the spring, but Sir Michael added: "This report will inform our national shipbuilding strategy to match the needs of the Royal Navy with the ability to design and build efficiently, maintain skills, and maximise export opportunities."
The Royal Navy currently has 19 frigates and destroyers but the MPs said that number could fall unless a clear timetable is set out for replacing older vessels.
SNP defence spokesman Brendan O'Hara said the UK government must now end "unnecessary and worrying delays" in bringing forward a national shipbuilding strategy.
Both sides had early chances as Jak McCourt fired just wide for the hosts while Steve Morison went close against his former club with an audacious 40-yard chip which went just over.
The best chances came from set-pieces in a first half littered with free-kicks. Shaun Williams tested Adam Smith with a long range free-kick and Northampton's Alex Revell fired over from 30 yards.
But Millwall broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute when Shaun Williams released Lee Gregory, who held off Zander Diamond before racing into the box and lifting the ball over Smith.
After the restart, home substitute Sam Hoskins was denied by Jordan Archer, who then tipped McCourt's 25-yard drive onto the bar.
In between, Morison volleyed wide before Cobblers were reduced to 10 men when McCourt got a second caution for bringing down Fred Onyedinma.
JJ Hooper's glancing header was saved by Archer before Calum Butcher doubled Millwall's lead on the hour mark, taking advantage of a slip by Brendan Moloney to beat the stranded Smith.
Morison was denied by Smith and Gregory's shot was deflected over. In between, David Buchanan twice fired over for Cobblers and Revell failed to direct his header on target.
Substitute Marc Richards reduced the arrears in the 80th minute, heading home a cross from Hoskins, but Morison put the game beyond doubt in the 89th minute when he latched on to a long clearance to lob the advancing Smith.

Michael McIlorum scored his first try of the season to put Wigan ahead and Sam Tomkins touched down soon after.
George Williams, who kicked just two conversions from six attempts, scored Wigan's third try before the break.
Oliver Gildart scored twice in quick succession before Tom Davies and Williams wrapped up a comfortable win.
Leeds, who could not finish lower than second before the Super 8s split going into the game, rarely threatened to put points on the board at the DW Stadium.
The hosts dominated the game and their attacking display saw them reach a century of Super League tries scored this term when Davies crossed late on.
Wigan move up to seventh following the win as they moved above Huddersfield after they were defeated by Hull FC.
Leeds, who were without 13 players and gave debuts to Harry Newman, Harvey Whiteley and Alex Sutcliffe, saw their four-point gap on third place cut to three points thanks to Hull's victory.
Wigan coach Shaun Wane:
"It was definitely a no-win situation. We know Leeds were busted.
"We're not patting each other on the back but I liked the manner in which we went about our business in those conditions, which were very testing.
"A 77% completion rate was good, some of our defence was very good and we scored some good tries. We've got 100 tries this season so we're doing something okay."
Leeds coach Brian McDermott:
"I can't tell you I'm happy but I'm not down either. On paper it was going to be a tough night and we had hoped the game would have been closer.
"We are disappointed by the final scoreline and disappointed we didn't score a try.
"But for large parts of the game we put up a fair amount of resistance against a very determined Wigan who were out to respond to their defeat last week.
"There were some good bits in there for us to feel proud of. Once our juniors and also to some extent our senior guys started to fatigue, we conceded some soft tries."
Wigan: Tomkins, Davies, Gelling, Gildart, Burgess, Williams, Leuluai, Nuuausala, McIlorum, Sutton, Isa, Bateman, O'Loughlin.
Replacements: Clubb, Powell, Tautai, Wells.

Don Thompson, president of the Jersey Fishermen's Association, said quotas meant some boats were out of the water for three months of the year.
The European Union (EU) has published new quotas for 2015 onwards, which include a ban on discarding certain species.
Marine officer Greg Morel says local fishermen are bound by EU agreements.
He said: "There are some things discussed in Brussels that will have an impact on local fishermen because we have an agreement around managing our seas jointly."
Mr Thompson said the existing system was not working as it did not take in to consideration local fish stocks.
He said: "If we don't do something we are going to be deprived of the ability and right to catch fish in the waters around this island. That is unthinkable.
"There are lines in our fisheries management agreement that bind us to Europe - and that will always be there - but that doesn't stop us working on a scientifically backed system that moves away from quota stocks."
Mr Thompson said the announcement on Tuesday by EU ministers over the recent quota changes "could have been worse".
He said it was still not good news as quotas were still dropping but at the same time stocks were improving, especially in island waters.
He said: "We've had four years of a total ban on Undulate Ray. We put forward a specific request to have that lifted because stocks in Channel Islands waters are fine, they are plentiful.
"But because they have suffered from over fishing in Portugal and Ireland, there is a complete ban."
The meeting is on Wednesday evening and Mr Thompson said he did not expect any immediate outcome.
But Shaun Edwards, Wales' defence coach, raised the matter five days after England's 25-21 win at Twickenham.
"To be honest I'm just still in a bit of disbelief that you can lose a game of rugby having scored three tries to one," he said.
"I tried to explain to my mother, who's from Wigan, and she just didn't understand it."
England's win - the only match in this year's tournament where the losing team scored more tries than the winners - was the fourth leg of a potential Grand Slam.
Wales face Italy in Cardiff on Saturday in their last match of the 2016 Six Nations, aiming for a win to claim second place behind England.
In the circumstances Edwards' comments could easily invite accusations of sour grapes, particularly after a game when Wales missed 26 tackles - his area of responsibility.
But the scoring in rugby union is already under official scrutiny.
Edwards' reference to his mother living in Wigan points to his roots in rugby league, where he represented Wigan and Great Britain.
Under that sport's scoring system, the match in Twickenham would have been an 18-18 draw.

World Rugby - union's governing body - is currently trialling a scoring system in semi-professional and amateur rugby.
It is the one used in Wales' lower leagues where a try is worth six points and all kicks two.
In top level rugby a try is worth five points, a conversion two points and penalties and drop-goals three points.
Wales would have beaten England 24-20 at Twickenham if that system had been in force.
Pontypridd's Alex Webber scored the first six-point try in Wales in his team's 68-32 win over Llanelli on 5 September, 2015.
When the experiment was announced it was said to be aimed at encouraging attacking rugby and keeping the ball in play for as long as possible.
England World Cup winner Josh Lewsey, at the time the Welsh Rugby Union's head of rugby, said: "I am delighted the Welsh Rugby Union is taking a lead in the world game in regards to these law trials.
"Internally, we were already exploring innovative ways in which we could increase 'ball in play time', the focus on skill acquisition and match intensity.
"As such, these law trials are a superb fit for our intentions."
There are few who would argue Wales were the better side at Twickenham and England butchered a couple of golden opportunities in a dominant first-half.
Edwards was unhappy with Wales' first 40 minutes, but claimed the statistics could be interpreted positively.
"We conceded one try away against England and if you look at that stat it's not a bad performance," he added.
"Technically there were certain aspects of our defence which I was disappointed with in the first half, mainly our one-on-one tackling against their number 11, 14 and 15. But statistically one try [conceded] away against England is not a bad effort.
"Was I happy at half-time? No I wasn't. Did we perform a lot better second half? Yeah we did.
"I'm under no illusions. We were not on our game in the first half but I still can't get my head around how we can score three tries, they can score one, and we can still lose."
Down in the Swalec League at places like Glais and Rhigos and Brynmawr and Blaenavon they might agree.
Possibly not in Teddington.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi said if war occurred there could be no winner.
Mr Wang's comments come as the US voices increasing concern at North Korea's development of nuclear weapons and deploys a Navy carrier group off the Korean peninsula.
China, North Korea's only backer, fears conflict could cause the regime to collapse and problems on its border.
Mr Wang said: "One has the feeling that a conflict could break out at any moment.
"I think that all relevant parties should be highly vigilant with regards to this situation."
"We call on all parties to refrain from provoking and threatening each other, whether in words or actions, and not let the situation get to an irreversible and unmanageable stage."
Adding to Chinese unease, President Donald Trump said on Thursday that "the problem of North Korea" would be "taken care of".
"If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A."
The North Korean military responded on Friday by saying it would "mercilessly foil" any US provocation.
"Our toughest counteraction against the U.S. and its vassal forces will be taken in such a merciless manner as not to allow the aggressors to survive," read a statement from the army, reported in English by North Korea's official news agency, KCNA.
The US president has recently demonstrated his willingness to resort to military methods. He ordered a cruise missile attack on Syria in retaliation for a suspected chemical weapons attack, and the US military just used a huge bomb against so-called Islamic State in Afghanistan.
Washington is concerned North Korea might develop the ability to launch a nuclear weapon at the US.
Mr Trump and China's President Xi Jinping have been in contact by phone since their summit last week in Florida, and Reuters quotes US officials as saying tougher economic sanctions against North Korea are also being considered.
China is concerned any conflict could lead to a huge refugee problem on its border with North Korea. It also fears the collapse of the North Korean regime, which would remove a buffer between China and a country with US military bases, and has thus long been wary of pushing Pyongyang too hard.
But, in a sign of growing frustration with its neighbour, it recently blocked coal imports from the North. And Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reports that the government will suspend direct Air China flights between Beijing and Pyongyang from Monday 17 April.
There is also intense speculation that North Korea could carry out a sixth nuclear bomb test or another missile launch - possibly a long-range missile - on Saturday.
Saturday marks the 105th anniversary of the birth of its first leader, Kim Il-sung.
In an interview with the Associated Press, North Korea's Deputy Foreign Minister Han Song Ryol accused the Trump administration of "becoming more vicious and more aggressive" in its policy towards the North.
An institute linked to the North Korean foreign ministry also warned that "thermo-nuclear war may break out any moment".
The ruling conservative Liberal Party has promised to hold a plebiscite on the issue if it returns to power at this weekend's election.
But questions remain over whether the party would abide by a result in favour of same-sex marriage.
Meanwhile a video has emerged of Opposition Leader Bill Shorten praising the idea of a plebiscite.
Mr Shorten last week slammed the government's plan as a "platform for homophobia" and advocated a parliamentary vote to decide the issue.
But he told a Christian lobby forum in 2013 that he would rather let the public vote on same-sex marriage than leave the issue to MPs.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is tipped to hold power at the election on Saturday and is aiming to hold a public vote on same-sex marriage by the end of the year.
But the result of the vote would be non-binding and MPs would need to pass further legislation to make it law.
Two senior Australian ministers have refused to say if they would support same-sex marriage in parliament.
In an interview, Treasurer Scott Morrison refused six times to say how he would vote.
"My view is, if the plebiscite is carried nationally, then the legislation should pass," Mr Morrison told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"If the plebiscite is not carried, then I think that settles the matter."
The treasurer - an evangelical Christian who worships at a Pentecostal megachurch - refused to give a straight answer when challenged for "clarity" on the issue.
In a separate interview, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop echoed the treasurer's comments, refusing to be drawn on the "hypothetical" issue.
"I would take my electorate's view into account, but I would also take into account how the plebiscite played out across Australia because, for example, a referendum gets up if it is a majority of states, majority of people in the majority of states," she said.
Meanwhile the video of Mr Shorten telling church leaders in 2013 that he was "completely relaxed" about a plebiscite on same-sex marriage has undermined his attack on the government.
Mr Shorten has claimed that the plebiscite would unleash a campaign of homophobia and hate, which could be avoided through a parliamentary vote on gay marriage.
In an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corp., he played down his previous comments.
"Community attitudes have moved on in Australia," he said.
"When you look at the experience in Ireland, over a year ago, some of arguments which emerged were really ugly and repugnant."
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull - who takes a progressive stance on many social issues - says he will vote in favour of the marriage bill.
As a cabinet minister, he indicated he would have voted in favour of a motion to legalise same-sex marriage last year.
The proposal was opposed by former prime minister Tony Abbott.
The BBC Asian Network/ICM poll of 500 people also found that, of those who had decided, 39% said they may change their minds before 7 May.
It shows the Asian vote in Britain, traditionally considered to lean towards Labour, is still up for grabs.
Half of those questioned said they wanted tougher immigration controls.
The poll questioned 500 people across England, Scotland and Wales who described themselves as Asian between 25 March and 2 April.
The poll found that 24% of respondents were still undecided about which party to vote for - in line with the population as a whole.
There has been much interest in the "Asian vote" since the 2010 general election - when Labour secured 68% of ethnic minority votes.
The Conservatives, on the other hand, managed 16%.
Since then, several studies have suggested the ethnic minority vote could play a significant role in key marginal seats.
Dr Alexandra Kelso, associate professor of politics at the University of Southampton, said: "For a party like the Conservatives, in key marginals that they need to take, such as Southampton Itchen and others… there's quite a lot of work to do to convince those voters to vote Conservative."
Personal circumstances, rather than party loyalty, appear to be a key consideration for some Asian voters.
Ram Kalyan, a community radio station manager from Southampton, said: "I'm an undecided voter. Traditionally our family has voted Labour, but I'm not sure whether that will be the case… I'm now waiting to see what the party leaders are going to put on the table, and then I'll make my decision."
Solicitor Rashidul Islam said it would come down to hard cash: "I have seen more money in my pocket as a result of economic policies this government has, and also my own circumstances - and that's going to dictate it."
In 2013, a study by Operation Black Vote concluded the ethnic vote could determine the outcome of the 2015 general election.
The study found that in 168 marginal seats, the black and minority ethnic vote was bigger than the sitting MP's majority.
Southampton Itchen is a case in point. Labour's John Denham won the seat in 2010 with a majority of just 192.
All political parties say they would like to field more Asian and minority ethnic candidates in order to better represent Britain.
Speaking last year, Mr Cameron said he hoped to see an Asian prime minister in his lifetime.
However, 85% of Asians surveyed told BBC Asian Network they would not vote for a candidate simply because of their race.
Voters said an MP's abilities was a major issue.
"I wouldn't vote for someone just because they're Asian," Rashidul Islam said.
"I would look at what their policies are, what their track record is… their own credentials rather than what their background is. If they're Asian, it won't make a difference to me."
The poll also asked about immigration. Some 50% of Asians said they wanted the next government to be tougher on immigration.
Although many respondents were second, third or fourth generation British Asians, EU migration was of concern.
Southampton student Mickey, 26, said: "Britain needs to be more proactive: controlling more strictly how many immigrants come in, what they have to offer, are they good enough for the economy or not - and if not, that's questionable."
Stephen Port, 40, is accused of killing the men, who he allegedly contacted online via gay websites, between June 2014 and September this year.
Prosecutors told Barkingside magistrates he gave the men large amounts of the drug GHB.
Mr Port, of Cooke Street, Barking, east London, was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Wednesday.
The charges relate to the deaths of:
Jack Taylor was a night-duty fork-lift truck driver at a warehouse and was last seen by friends on a night out in Barking on 13 September.
Anthony Walgate is believed to have been a second-year art student at the University of Middlesex.
Daniel Whitworth was an aspiring chef who worked in London Docklands.

Lawyers for Gurdit Singh said he had been segregated from staff and customers at the Florida theme park because he violated a "look policy".
Disney now says Mr Singh can deliver post on all routes, in full view of customers.
The company says it does not discriminate based on religion.
Mr Singh, who has worked at the theme park since 2008 but always out of sight of visitors, said he was "incredibly thankful" Disney had decided to change course.
"My hope is that this policy change opens up the door for more Sikhs and other religious minorities to practise their faith freely here at Disney.
"My turban and beard serve as a constant reminder of my commitment to my faith... these articles remind everybody that we're all equal. That's not just a Sikh value, that's an American value."
In May, lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and The Sikh Coalition, an advocacy group for the religion, wrote to Disney expressing their concerns over Mr Singh's treatment.
They said he had been assigned to only one delivery route which kept him away from customers, while other staff were rotated through different assignments where they were visible to guests.
They argued this was "specifically, because of his racial/ethnic and religious appearance", and was a violation of his civil rights.
Disney restored him to all the routes and said it is an "employer of choice that is committed to diversity and prohibits discrimination based upon religion."
Mr Singh remains in his job in Florida, delivering post at the park, and says he is happy to work for the company.
Gurjot Kaur, a lawyer acting for the Sikh Coalition, said that her client first applied for a job at Disney in 2005, and was told he would have to work in the back, cleaning the car park or in the kitchen.
"The interviewer indicated that he could not work in front of guests because of his turban and beard," his lawyers said.
Mr Singh didn't take up the position, but applied again in 2008, initially to work as a doorman.
Despite extensive experience in hospitality, Ms Kaur says her client was denied the position "because his 'costume' did not match the 'costume' necessary," - Singh took "costume" to mean his turban and beard.

Emyr Roberts said Natural Resources Wales will be different from other bodies under the Welsh government.
He said it would be able both to regulate and offer independent advice.
It is being created through a merger of the Countryside Council, Environment Agency and Forestry Commission.
Dr Roberts, a former senior Welsh government official, takes up his new post on Thursday, as a £1bn gas-fired power station in Pembrokeshire faces an EU inquiry over part of its licensing.
Friends of the Earth Cymru has complained that the UK government has breached environmental regulations by allowing the site to discharge water in to the Cleddau estuary 8C warmer than the water is extracted.
Environmentalists say the case raises a question of what a licensing body that was answerable to Welsh ministers would do in a similar situation.
Dr Roberts said the case "underlines the need for one voice in this area".
"We will make sure there are systems in place to separate any advice from any other statutory obligations on us," he said.
He said: "Anything to do with the environment is very complicated, and the Welsh government is bringing forward legislation to try and simplify this over the next few years and I would be very keen for the new organisation to work with Welsh government on that.
"We need to collectively look at that - and not all of this is devolved either - which brings in a further complexity.
"The model that the Welsh government wants here is slightly different from other arms length organisations in that the expectation is that this body will work very closely with the Welsh government in developing policies, and their operational impact.
"So I think it will be a close relationship, but it will be an arms length relationship."

Three people were injured outside Sugar Hut in Brentwood - as featured in TV show The Only Way is Essex - when a car mounted the pavement during a brawl.
The fight early on Sunday involved more than 20 people, police said.
Essex Police said a 32-year-old man from West Drayton in west London, was being questioned along with a 26-year-old woman.
The woman, from Hornchurch, east London, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
One of the people hit by the car - a blue Audi - is in a critical condition in hospital, police said.
The other victims, a man and a woman, have been discharged.
Police are still appealing for anyone with information about the hit-and-run, which happened at 03:10 BST on Sunday, to contact Brentwood's major investigations team or Crimestoppers.

It is believed a lone gunman opened fire on their vehicle as they travelled through the northern province of Amran.
Aid agencies have been trying to reach millions of people in Yemen, who lack basic supplies because of the conflict that has been raging there for months.
The killings come just over a week after gunmen raided the ICRC's offices in the southern port city of Aden.
They held staff at gunpoint and demanded money, vehicles and other equipment.
The attack, one of at least 10 recent security breaches the ICRC has faced in Aden, prompted the organisation to temporarily suspend its local aid operations.
An ICRC statement said the field officer and driver - both from Yemen - were travelling with two colleagues in a convoy between Saada province and the capital, Sanaa, when the gunman stopped their vehicle and shot them.
One of the workers died at the scene, while the other was rushed to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Their two colleagues were unharmed.
"The ICRC condemns in the strongest possible terms what appears to have been the deliberate targeting of our staff," said the head of the ICRC delegation in Yemen, Antoine Grand. "Our thoughts and sympathy are with the families and loved ones of our colleagues."
"It is premature for us at this point to determine the impact of this appalling incident on our operations in Yemen. At this time, we want to collect ourselves as a team and support each other in processing this incomprehensible act," Mr Grand added.
ICRC spokeswoman Sitara Jabeen had earlier told the BBC that the ICRC would halt all movement by its staff in Yemen as a precaution.
It is not yet clear who carried out the attack.
Saada is a stronghold of the Houthi rebel movement, whose conflict with forces loyal to exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi has escalated since a Saudi-led coalition intervened militarily at the end of March.
The fighting has now reached 21 out of 22 provinces and some 4,500 people - including at least 2,112 civilians - have been killed, according to the UN.
More than 1.4 million people have also been displaced and 21 million - almost 80% of the population - are in need of some form of humanitarian aid.

L/CPl Watkins, who was in the Brigade Advisory Group, died on Saturday.
He was on a patrol with Afghan soldiers in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province when his team was fired on.
The 24-year-old, who had served in the armed forces for four years, leaves behind his mother Jill, father Rod, and brothers Luke and Simon.
An investigation has been launched into his death after reports he was shot by a man dressed in an Afghan national army uniform.
In a statement, his family said: "Paul wanted to join the Army from a very young age. He was proud to be a soldier and was proud of what he was doing; he died doing a job that he loved.
"He was such a loving and caring son, grandson and brother. He will be very sadly missed by his family and friends who loved him dearly."
And Lt Col William Fooks, Commanding Officer 9th/12th Royal Lancers (Prince of Wales's), said the soldier will be "missed immeasurably" but "never forgotten".
"Lance Corporal Paul Watkins was absolutely someone you'd want on your team and by your side: tough, hugely dependable and determined yet compassionate," he said.
"When all around him was frenzied activity, L/Cpl Watkins would be serenely and reassuringly calm. And combined with his arid sense of humour and his disarming grin, a big problem very quickly became no problem at all."
Members of the country's largest teaching union, the EIS, have voted overwhelmingly for a work to rule.
Their concerns are related to the work linked to the new school qualifications.
Education Secretary John Swinney said: "The result of today's ballot is disappointing albeit on what appears to be a low turnout."
He added: "Given that we are addressing the issues of teacher workload, industrial action in our schools would not be in the interests of anyone, least of all pupils and parents. "
The union said members voted in favour of action by 95% to 5%.
The work to rule will be targeted at the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) - there is no suggestion of school activities being affected.
Possible action might include refusing to provide cover for colleagues absent on SQA business and not attending SQA seminars and sticking to working time agreements on any work associated with developing the qualifications.
The union said it would be issuing guidance to members immediately over what they should stop doing.
Earlier this week, the Scottish government called on unions to come up with ideas for cutting the workload.
General secretary Larry Flanagan said: "Scotland's secondary teachers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action against the severe workload burden that has been generated by the Scottish Qualifications Authority.
"This ballot result reflects the frustration of Scotland's secondary teachers over the excessive assessment demands being placed on them and their pupils, particularly around unit assessments at National 5 and Higher; and the EIS now has a very clear mandate to implement an immediate work-to-contract in relation to SQA activity."
Mr Flanagan added: "The target of this industrial action is both SQA bureaucracy and excessive internal unit assessment, with its associated workload burden for teachers and unacceptable assessment pressures on students.
"It is not our intention that this action should impact directly on pupils, and teachers will continue to teach classes normally and to assess pupils' work.
"We will be issuing guidance to our members advising which SQA-related activities they should withdraw co-operation from, and which activities teachers should continue to undertake as normal."
Mr Swinney said that he and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon were already taking steps to tackle bureaucracy and "free up teachers to teach" and were considering further measures.
These included creating a working group, involving the teacher unions, to focus on what more needed to be done to embed the new qualifications and to reduce assessment workload.
He said the chief inspector of education had written to schools with guidance on national expectations on qualifications and assessment that would further reduce unnecessary workload on teachers and provide clarity.
"Schools have a responsibility to apply this guidance, which will directly assist in reducing workload." he said.
"The concerns raised by teachers are being addressed - but we recognise there is more to be done to free up our teachers to teach for the benefit of all in our education system."
A spokesman for the SQA said: "We are disappointed the EIS has decided to take this action, particularly when we have taken steps to alleviate teacher workload without compromising national standards and maintaining the integrity and credibility of the qualifications.
"The priority of the entire education system is to work together to ensure the best possible learning opportunities are provided to our young people. We are deeply concerned that, as a result of this action, these opportunities could be jeopardised."
Mr Woolfe told Huffington Post he "forgot about the conviction" from 2002 when he stood for election in 2012 - in a possible breach of electoral law.
He got a £350 fine and nine-month ban for being drunk in charge of a scooter.
Mr Woolfe is awaiting UKIP's verdict on whether he can run for the leadership, having missed the nominations deadline.
The 48-year old MEP and immigration spokesman, who is seen as the frontrunner to succeed outgoing leader Nigel Farage, blamed technical issues with the registration site and insisted he was still in the race.
This has not been officially confirmed by the party, which is scheduled to announce the final list of candidates on Tuesday.
Other contenders to succeed Mr Farage are thought to include Huntingdonshire councillor Lisa Duffy and MEPs Jonathan Arnott and Bill Etheridge. MEP Diane James is also widely expected to throw her hat into the ring.
Asked about his prior conviction, Mr Woolfe told Huffington Post: "I made a foolish mistake 14 years ago which I regret. As the years went on I forgot about the conviction as I got on with my life.
"The conviction was a spent conviction in November 2012 and not in my mind when I stood for police and crime commissioner in Greater Manchester.
"It was also a spent conviction when I stood for the European elections in 2014 and general election in 2015."
Under electoral rules, police and crime commissioner candidates are required to declare convictions for which they could have received a prison sentence, and it is a criminal offence to make a false statement on nomination papers.
Mr Woolfe has also rejected claims that his party membership temporarily lapsed in 2014 - which could affect his eligibility to stand under the party's rules.
"It is false. On March 17 2011, I paid over £1,500 to the party. Part of that was to the patrons' club and the remainder was to have a five-year membership that ran out in 2016 in March," he said on Monday.
The leadership contest has been sparked by Nigel Farage, who led the party for most of the past eight years, standing down after the UK's vote to leave the EU.
A number of high-profile figures, including deputy leader Paul Nuttall, former deputy chair Suzanne Evans and UKIP's sole MP Douglas Carswell have ruled themselves out.
To stand, candidates each needed the backing of a proposer and 50 supporters from at least 10 UKIP branches - and to have been a member for the past two years.
The winner will be announced on 15 September.

Like our farms in the UK, Australia has farms especially for crocodiles where the animals are looked after and raised in a similar way to cows or sheep.
Recently lots of big fashion companies have been buying up the crocodile farms, and now around 80% of them are owned by the fashion industry.
This is because they want to use the crocodile's skin to make things like handbags, shoes and belts, which can sell for thousands of pounds.
The crocodiles in these farms are not endangered or protected at the moment.
Ricky has been investigating this one.
The anonymous, so-called Trojan Horse letter included advice on installing sympathetic school governors.
The controversy continues to prompt local and national reaction. Follow a timeline of events as they unfolded.
Birmingham City Council reveals it is investigating a number of schools in the city after receiving a copy of an anonymous letter referring to Operation Trojan Horse - a plot by some Muslim groups to install governors at schools. It claims responsibility for ousting four head teachers.
The Department for Education (DfE) confirms it is also investigating.
Ofsted turns up at Park View Academy - one of the schools implicated - for a snap inspection.
Two years earlier the predecessor school on the site had been graded outstanding. "All schools should be like this," Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw had said in March 2012.
The DfE says it is looking into claims the Operation Trojan Horse plot targeted 12 schools.
The governors of Park View Educational Trust describe the ongoing investigations as a "witch-hunt" .
Birmingham City Council says it is looking into allegations involving 25 schools in the city, including primaries, secondaries and academies. Council leader Sir Albert Bore says he does not believe there is a "plot".
West Midlands Police condemn the DfE's decision to appoint a former national head of counter terrorism to carry out its investigation for the message it sends
Sir Michael Wilshaw takes personal charge of Ofsted's Trojan Horse investigations.
Sir Michael says Ofsted has inspected 21 schools in Birmingham.
Three of the schools under investigation publish their Ofsted reports.
Ninestiles and Small Heath are rated as "outstanding" and Washwood Heath as "good".
Home Secretary Theresa May accuses Education Secretary Michael Gove of failing to deal with an alleged Islamist plot to take over schools.
In a letter she asks whether it is true that the DfE was warned about the allegations in 2010 and Birmingham Council as far back as 2008.
Ofsted places five schools in special measures and confirms that a sixth (which was already in special measures) is "inadequate".
Sir Michael says there is evidence of an "organised campaign to target certain schools" and finds that some governors attempted to "impose and promote a narrow faith-based ideology" in secular schools.
The schools involved deny any wrongdoing.
Two academies - Park View and Nansen Primary - are told they will lose funding, while Oldknow Academy and Golden Hillock School are warned they too could lose funding unless concerns are addressed.
Ofsted head Sir Michael says the experience in Birmingham could lead to snap inspections at schools across the country.
At a public meeting, parents of pupils at Park View Academy call for governors at the school to stand down.
Vice-principal Lee Donaghy, however, said governors had been behind many of the changes that saw the school rated as outstanding by Ofsted in 2012.
The Park View Educational Trust, which runs three of the schools put in special measures, accuses the government of "deliberately misrepresenting" schools and describes inspections as "woefully shoddy" and "fatally flawed".
Governors at Golden Hillock School say they were not given enough time to make improvements before a visit by Ofsted.
The board of trustees at Park View Education Trust resign. Its chairman Tahir Alam says the decision was made in the interests of the children.
He said a "co-ordinated and vicious" attack by former Education Secretary Michael Gove and the Department for Education had left the three-member board with no choice but to step down.
Waverley School head teacher Kamal Hanif, Greet Primary head teacher Pat Smart and King Edwards VI Five Ways head teacher Yvonne Wilkinson agree to serve on the new trust.
A leaked copy of Peter Clarke's report for the DfE finds evidence there was an agenda to introduce "an intolerant and aggressive Islamist ethos" into some Birmingham schools.
Details of the report by the former counter-terrorism chief were leaked to The Guardian newspaper.
Birmingham City Council releases key findings from its inquiry into 25 schools, prompting reaction from head teachers and others.
Written by Ian Kershaw, it finds no evidence of violent extremism, radicalisation or an anti-British agenda being promoted. However, it does warn of governance problems in some schools.
Mr Kershaw also criticises the council's role in supporting the schools involved.
Birmingham MP, Khalid Mahmood, says teachers forced out of schools involved in the Trojan Horse allegations deserve to be compensated.
He claimed at least 12 senior school staff had been bullied or forced out of their posts.
Peter Clarke's report for the DfE is officially released.
Mr Clarke says his inquiry found no evidence of extremism but "there are a number of people in a position of influence who either espouse, or sympathise with or fail to challenge extremist views".
Sir Mike Tomlinson is appointed Education Commissioner for Birmingham by the government.
Ofsted says there are still concerns at Park View Academy following a monitoring inspection.
MPs criticise a lack of oversight for previously high-achieving schools.
Head teachers highlight a lack of central record keeping and propose a database of school governors.
The Education Select Committee criticises a lack of coordination between the various Trojan Horse inquiries and suggests there was no evidence of a plot.
Ofsted says three out of the five schools placed in special measures are making "reasonable progress".
The DfE criticises the Education Select Committee for "downplaying" the seriousness of events in Birmingham and "undermining" efforts to tackle extremism.
The government announces that a national database of school governors in England will be set up.
Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw warns of "potentially high numbers of pupils" disappearing from school registers in Birmingham and Tower Hamlets in east London, after follow-up visits prompted by the Trojan Horse inquiries.
In a letter to the secretary of state for education, he also said the picture in Birmingham was "improving slowly", although problems remained at schools placed in special measures.
Birmingham's education commissioner Sir Mike Tomlinson says the anonymous Trojan Horse letter was "no hoax".
Speaking to BBC Midlands Today, he said he believed the letter was genuine.

Colin Smyth said there had been a "very robust discussion" between police, organisers and the council.
He said it was clear charging policies had changed since the introduction of a national police force.
However, he said it was "encouraging" the importance of the music festivals had been recognised.
"There was a commitment by everyone to work together to find a way forward," he said.
"The police will meet event organisers at as early a stage in the planning process as possible for next year's events to thrash out a policing plan.
"That could allow organisers for example to tweak stewarding plans with advice from the police to possibly minimise police costs, so from that point of view the meeting was constructive."
Ch Supt Gary Ritchie also said he felt the talks had been worthwhile.
"I'm pleased that event organisers acknowledge and accept that the policing necessary to ensure public safety at events cannot be provided to the detriment of policing our local communities," he said.
"I look forward to positive and constructive partnerships with event organisers for the forthcoming year which I'm sure will enhance the region's reputation for hosting attractive, exciting and, above all, safe events."
Russia were banned by the IPC after the McLaren report identified evidence of a state-sponsored doping programme.
The decision to ban Russia from the Games was upheld last week by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
But the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) says scores of athletes are challenging that decision.
"More than 100 Russian sportsmen out of 266 who were selected for the Paralympics have filed individual cases with the IPC," Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) vice president Pavel Rozhkov said.
London 2012 swimming champion Olesya Vladykina is believed to be among those who have contacted the IPC.
"There is no reason to ban me," said Vladykina, 28, on social media.
"I have sent the IPC documents and facts to allow me to participate in the Games in Rio individually. I will continue to fight for the truth and my name."
The IPC confirmed on Monday that it had received a number of letters from Russian Para-athletes and added that "internal discussions about the letters is ongoing".
Russian long jumper Darya Klishina was the only athlete from her country to participate in the track and field events at the Rio Olympics after she was cleared to compete by Cas.
Athletics' world governing body IAAF had banned Russian athletes from competing at the Games over doping concerns but Klishina took part after she was able to prove that her clean drugs-testing record was established in the United States, where she is based, rather than in Russia.
The Rio Paralympics begin on Wednesday, 7 September.
This is not a cure or vaccine, but a highly effective way of preventing transmission of the virus.
The idea is to give HIV drugs to gay men having unprotected sex while they are still uninfected.
It means the medicine is there waiting for the virus to arrive and kills it when it does.
The approach relies on one of the biggest breakthroughs in the field - antiretroviral drugs.
HIV infection was a death sentence when it was first reported in the 1980s (it had gone largely unnoticed in Africa for decades before).
Every patient would progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (Aids) and death was inevitable.
But just look at the impact effective medicines had when they were introduced in the late 1990s.
Deaths from Aids dropped dramatically.
HIV infection has gone from guaranteed killer to life-long infection, at least in the west where the medicine is available.
Those drugs have certainly had one "game-changer" moment, they may be about to have another in patients at risk of HIV.
Having ever-growing numbers of people who are living with HIV does create a problem - a higher risk of the virus being spread.
Imagine one in eight of the sexual partners in your lifetime had HIV.
Those are the odds faced by gay men in London, the figure is closer to one in 26 for the rest of the UK.
It's why one man told me he feels at high-risk of HIV just by being in London and that it has a crippling effect on forming relationships.
Many people would say "use a condom".
They are an incredibly effective barrier to HIV transmission and recommended by every sexual health expert you can find.
But like many health messages - don't smoke, exercise more, drink less - they are often ignored.
One analysis found only 55% of men reported using a condom the last time they had sex with another man.
Some will be in long-term caring monogamous relations, some are gambling with terrible odds.
The result is the number of new HIV infections in gay men has been consistently above 2,500-a-year for a decade and they remain the most at-risk group in the country.
The trial by the UK's Medical Research Council and Public Health England showed that giving HIV drugs while the men were still healthy led to a 86% fall in new infections.
Be in no doubt that is huge.
If we were discussing a medicine that prevented 86% of cancers we'd be calling it a miracle drug.
The study showed that one case of HIV would be prevented for every 13 men treated for a year.
One member of the research team gave an extreme example saying that if the drugs were given to "all men and all were adherent then we could stop the epidemic".
These drugs are never going to be prescribed on that scale.
But they have the potential to prevent hundreds of new infections where nothing else seems to work.
That's why it has been described as a game changer.
The mobile phone giant said a "small number of customers were affected by a temporary computer glitch between 17 and 18 March".
Some customers who had sent a text indicating they wanted to give to charity were billed twice for the same donation.
Vodafone said it had apologised to all customers affected.
The company said the money had been credited to their accounts, adding that it had made a donation to the charity affected to apologise for the inconvenience.
BBC Scotland understands the charity affected was the Disasters Emergency Committee's appeal on the East Africa crisis.
Vodafone only alerted customers to the mistake a month after the double-charging error.
Royal Aircraft Establishment officials visited the county in 1966 to survey sites around Brancaster.
The flat vista was seen as ideal for rocket launches as it gave a clear run to the polar region.
A research base was already set up on the Isle of Wight when Norfolk's bid to host Britain's space age was made.
The county was considered because it was also close to sources of personnel, materials and engineering skills.
"North Norfolk appears much more attractive technically. It would permit the launching of polar satellites," the Royal Aircraft Establishment report said.
"Logistically it is very satisfactory as personnel and equipment could be obtained quickly and the huge engineering and technical complex in southern England is close at hand."
Coastal Norfolk in 1966 was seen as "remote", would not attract objections and had a military infrastructure left over from World War Two.
"It would have none of the objections made to other sites and it would have technical and financial advantages," the report said.
"No site has been selected but there were several north of the coastal road that would appear adequate. Ideally the site should be within five miles of a disused airfield with existing buildings.
"All that would be required in these circumstances would be the construction of a launch area on the coastline and all other operations could be conducted from other sites linked together by microwave and hard wire."
The Black Arrow rocket was eventually chosen as the ideal vehicle to carry satellites.

The 27-year-old Dane spent the second half of last season on loan to Dundee United in the Scottish Championship.
Mikkelsen scored eight goals in 25 appearances as United missed out on promotion to the top flight.
But the striker will now play in the Premiership as County look to replace top scorer Liam Boyce.
The Northern Ireland international was sold to Burton Albion this summer.
Mikkelsen spent three seasons with OB after joining from Fredericia but spent most of his time on loan from the Danish Super League outfit - first with IFK Goteborg then Vejle BK and, finally, United.
He had two spells with BK, having joined from first club Sydvest then leaving for Vejle Kolding.

The Bar Council had demanded Liz Truss respond to criticism from some MPs and newspapers over the decision that MPs should vote on triggering Article 50.
The Daily Mail branded judges "Enemies of the people"; the Daily Express said it was "the day democracy died".
Ms Truss said the "impartiality" of the courts was "respected the world over".
On Thursday, the High Court ruled Parliament should vote on when the government can trigger Article 50, beginning the formal process of the UK leaving the EU.
Three judges found that the government could not start the formal process by using the royal prerogative alone, and would need the backing of both the Commons and the Lords.
The government is seeking to overturn the decision at the Supreme Court - the UK's highest court of appeal - next month.
Following fierce criticism of the ruling, the Bar Council of England and Wales - the professional body representing barristers called for Ms Truss to defend the judges "as a matter of urgency".
But its chairwoman Chantal-Aimee Doerries QC said she would have expected the Lord Chancellor - who is responsible for courts, prisons, probation and constitutional affairs - to make a clearer statement on the "unprecedented" attack which "undermines the rule of law in this country".
She said the court was entitled to rule on the case and she was "surprised by the backlash" because the judges were "doing their job".
The Criminal Bar Association later passed a resolution backing the Bar Council's demands.
In her statement, Ms Truss, who is also justice secretary, said: "The independence of the judiciary is the foundation upon which our rule of law is built and our judiciary is rightly respected the world over for its independence and impartiality.
"In relation to the case heard in the High Court, the government has made it clear it will appeal to the Supreme Court. Legal process must be followed."
By Ben Wright, BBC News political correspondent
It could not be called a comprehensive response.
Having declined all requests for an interview, the Lord Chancellor Liz Truss put out a three-line statement saying the judiciary was independent and impartial.
Considering the vitriol of some press reaction to the High Court judges decision - "enemies of the people" according to the Daily Mail - and the demands for a defence of the judiciary from Labour and prominent Tory MPs, the government's response was the bare minimum.
We know ministers are angry about the ruling and are appealing to the Supreme Court.
But given a chance to say newspapers and politicians should be very wary about attacking the judiciary the Lord Chancellor demurred.
Nor did she say the courts did have the jurisdiction to rule on this dispute.
However, it be a very brave (or foolish?) minister to criticise the press for writing what they like about Brexit. And many voters will share the anger of some newspapers about the decision of the court.
Shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon, who had earlier said Ms Truss's silence was "embarrassing", called her statement "too little, much too late" and said she had failed to "adequately stand up to attacks on [the] judiciary".
He said "pressure from the legal profession, professional bodies, politicians and the public has paid off" and Ms Truss had "finally made at least some progress on this issue".
But he added: "All Liz Truss has done is recite the well-known principle of the independence of the judiciary...
"The last few days mean that much of the legal community now has no confidence in the Lord Chancellor to fulfil her statutory duty to protect the independence of the British judiciary."
Writing on Twitter, Lib Dem leader Tim Farron described the response from Ms Truss as a "weak statement from a weak cabinet minister".
Earlier, Tory MP and former Attorney-General, Dominic Grieve, has compared coverage in one UK newspaper to the Nazi party's newspaper.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "Newspapers in a free society can do what they like.
"But if you did decide to behave immoderately and whip up frenzied hatred you can do that in a free society if you set about it, and newspapers like the Daily Mail are no different from the Voelkischer Beobachter in Nazi Germany if they run headlines of that type."
Daily Mail columnist Stephen Glover defended his newspaper's stance, saying he did not believe the judges would "feel frightened or worried" by the criticism.
He said they had made a "decisive intervention" in the political process, and "must expect some comeback".
UKIP MP Douglas Carswell is among those who have attacked the judges, calling them "politicians without accountability".
Meanwhile, Gina Miller, the investment manager and philanthropist who led the legal campaign, has said she plans to report online trolls to police after receiving rape and death threats.
"I am really cross at the politicians and the media who are whipping this up because they are the ones inciting racism and violence and acrimony," she said.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, also commented on the row, writing in a tweet: "Horrified by trolling of judges & those going to court; British values call for honest but good disagreeing, need reconciliation not abuse".
He added independent judges were "fundamental to our values" and it was "wrong to attack them for declaring the law",
Prime Minister Theresa May has said she is "confident" the government will win its Supreme Court appeal and is committed to triggering Article 50 by March 2017.
A report to the council's cabinet says scheme could cost the authority £6m in damage to its roads.
The route runs through part of south Northamptonshire.
A council spokesman said the authority supported HS2 in principle and had to oppose the parliamentary bill to lobby for changes to the bill.
He said the formal opposition of the bill was legally necessary to indicate that the county council wanted changes to the bill.
These changes are designed to assist those parishes and residents in the south-west of the county, which say they are adversely affected by the construction of HS2.
Michael Clarke, county council cabinet member for transport, said: "There's been a lot of talk about whether HS2 will bring benefits or not and we've heard opinions which are both positive and negative. However, the council wants to offer practical, relevant and useful support to those who will be affected in the south-west of the county."
On Tuesday, the cabinet agreed to petition parliament over HS2.
A report to the Conservative-run council says that the authority should employ a parliamentary agent to help petition parliament on the plans as specialist knowledge is needed. It says an agent would cost at least £20,000 but could cost up to £100,000.
If the cabinet backs petitioning parliament over the bill, the decision will go to the full council at a later date for final approval.
The HS2 scheme aims to run trains at 225 mph (362km/h) from London to Birmingham from 2026.
The firm's net income fell to $3.76bn (£2.6bn) in the third quarter from $4.99bn a year earlier.
Its shares were down more than 4% in after hours trading.
Revenue in its cloud business, which includes Azure, rose 3.3% to $6.1bn, but operating profits at the division shrank 14%.
"We would have liked to have seen 7% to 9% growth," said Dan Morgan, a portfolio manager at Synovus Trust, which holds Microsoft shares, said of cloud revenue.
"We're trying to validate this story that Microsoft is truly becoming a cloud company, and they're not going to be relying on the desktop computer."
Revenue at the software giant fell to $20.53bn from $21.73bn, lower than the $22.09bn analysts had expected.
Continued weakness in the personal computing market hobbled demand for one-time licences for some of its products, the company said.
While some analysts are hungry for more growth from Microsoft, other analysts are adopting a wait-and-see approach.
"Microsoft's cloud business is gaining sales and momentum in the marketplace, so I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this quarter's missed external expectations," said Matt McIllwain, a venture capitalist at Madrona Venture Group who watches Microsoft closely.
Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft said: "Digital transformation is the number one priority on our customers' agenda. Companies from large established businesses to emerging start-ups are turning to our cloud solutions to help them move faster and generate new revenue."
Microsoft's chief executive Satya Nadella has focused on developing the company's cloud business since he took over in early 2014, with his "mobile first, cloud first" strategy.
Earlier this week US chipmaker Intel said it was cutting 12,000 jobs mainly due to lower demand in the personal computer market. Intel also said it wanted to "accelerate evolution from a PC company to one that powers the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing devices".
The British Medical Association (BMA) has issued a warning in their latest attempt to highlight the difficulties facing doctors.
About 65% of practices across Northern Ireland took part in the survey.
Dr Tom Black, the chair of the Northern Ireland General Practitioners' Committee (NIGPC), said it showed some practices were struggling to survive.
"We knew the situation was bad, but the research showed clearly that primary care here is on the edge of a full-blown crisis," he said.
"The situation was particularly bad for smaller, single-handed and rural practices that have fewer GPs working in them and who are struggling to fill vacancies."
The survey concludes that the majority of practices in rural areas are at risk of closure.
This risk, it says, is greatest in County Fermanagh, where three out of four practices are in danger of closure due to workforce and workload issues.
According to Dr Black, his colleagues have been warning the government that general practice "is in trouble".
"Unless action is taken and funding is made available, there is a real risk of practices closing, GPs retiring and thousands of patients here facing the very real prospect of not having a GP to call on when they need help," he added.
The NIGPC, which represents doctors, has called for fair and sustainable funding, with a minimum of 10% of the health budget.
It also wants a taskforce to support practices at risk.
The survey sheds a worrying light on the medical profession, but it is not the first time that the BMA has raised the issue.
The association has repeatedly warned the role of the GP is expanding rapidly.
An ageing population with serious long term health conditions means GPs are often required to do a lot more with often a lot less staff and resources, according to the BMA.
Dr Black said: "We must find ways of securing general practice in the short term and evolve to a modern, sustainable model of general practice for the future to allow us to provide a service that meets the needs of patients."
The two men, who have not been identified, pulled firearms during an altercation in the Burnside neighbourhood on Sunday.
Both sustained multiple gunshot wounds and were taken to hospital, where the son was pronounced dead, police said.
The father, 43, was in a critical condition, according to authorities.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed the fatal shootout in a tweet on Sunday.
Two weapons were recovered at the scene and police are investigating the incident.
Chicago is one of the most violent cities in the US, with more than 800 people shot so far this year, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Ervin, who is now the oldest Olympic swimming champion at 35, quit the sport after winning gold in Sydney 2000 and returned years later, for London 2012.
"Maybe a piece of me wanted to see if I could get that medal back," Ervin, who had battled depression, alcoholism and drug addiction, told NBC.
"I got it," the veteran added.
Ervin won Friday's 50m freestyle race in 21.40 seconds, beating France's Florent Manaudou, by just 0.01 seconds.
"I feel the overwhelming support of all my people," he said after the event.
The heavily-tattooed Californian had already claimed gold in the 4x100m freestyle earlier this week.
When asked before Friday's race what he would do if he won another gold, Ervin was bluntly honest: "I don't know. I'm living in the moment, man."
It remains to be seen, though, how long Ervin will keep his medals in his cabinet, as he sold his Sydney trophy to raise money in aid of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami victims.
Few had expected that Ervin would be able to return triumphantly in the pool after his abrupt decision to quit the sport in 2003 - at the age of only 22.
During his prolonged "swimmer's burnout" period he tried many things, from learning guitar to immersing himself in Buddhism.
He even stopped telling people he had used to be an Olympic swimming champion, Ervin admitted in his biography Chasing Water: Elegy of an Olympian, published earlier this year.
"The oppression of my former swimming identity loses its hold on me," Ervin wrote.
"I am no longer Anthony Ervin the Swimmer, but Tony, just another guy in a band."
Ervin reached an "absolute low" when after years of abusing himself on drugs he was hardly able to rise from a a sofa for days, his friend told people.com website.
But he started to train again in 2011, finishing fifth at the 50m freestyle at the London Olympics.
"It's fair to say nobody has been through what he has," US swimming coach David Marsh told people.com.
"But Anthony's got the most efficient freestyle I've ever seen. That's been the case since he was young. He's just a barracuda in the water."
Ervin - who has Jewish, African-American and Native American roots - was raised in Valencia, California.
Marital coercion - which was used by Huhne's wife Vicky Pryce - is an old defence with an interesting history rooted, many believe, in a chauvinist past.
In modern times the defence has been used on just a handful of occasions, most notably by Anne Darwin, the wife of the canoeist John Darwin who faked his own death in order that the couple could claim life insurance and pension money and start a new life in Panama.
The defence was not successful in that case, and Anne Darwin was convicted in July 2008 for her part in the fraud.
However, it succeeded in the 2000 case of Ashley Fitton, who escaped a a drinking and driving offence after telling a court her irate husband had ordered her to get behind the wheel following a boozy meal at a restaurant.
She told the court she had refused repeatedly but had been scared of what her husband would have done if she had continued to refuse to drive. When stopped by the police she was three times over the limit.
It used to be the case in English common law that if a wife committed an offence (other than murder or treason) in the presence of her husband, she was presumed to have been coerced by him into doing it, and so she should be acquitted.
The presumption was abolished by Section 47 of the Criminal Justice Act of 1925, but in its place the defence of marital coercion was established.
It too applies to all offences bar murder or treason.
For it to operate two things have to be proved by the wife.
Firstly that the offence was committed in the presence of her husband, and secondly that it was committed under his coercion.
It is for the wife to prove these things to the civil standard, the balance of probabilities - in other words to prove that is it more likely than not the two things happened.
The burden is then on the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that either the husband was not present at the time the offence was committed, or that he failed to coerce her into committing the offence.
But there is much debate and not a lot of case law on what amounts to coercion.
Marital coercion has something in common with the defence of duress.
However, that defence would require any threats made by the husband to be threats to kill or cause serious injury.
Marital coercion is therefore a broader defence than duress in that it is enough that the wife acted because of the dominating will of her husband, her own will being overpowered by his so that she had no choice but to unwillingly take part in the offence.
That is the really critical element. The jury will be asked to consider if the wife's will had been so overpowered that she had been impelled to commit the offence because she had truly believed she had had no real choice in the matter.
Some see the defence of marital coercion as a legal hangover from a bygone era.
In 1977 the Law Commission the body that keeps the law in England and Wales under review, recommended its abolition.
Many feel that it is absurd to have a defence that is only available to women, and then only to women who are married.
The defence is not available to women who are co-habiting with a man.
It is not available to husbands, and it was not extended to those in civil partnerships. Some feel it is no longer relevant in a world where many women are financially independent of their husbands and so less susceptible to coercion.
But there are others who feel that the unique relationship of marriage and the pressures it can impose on a wife, justify the retention of the defence of marital coercion.
SDLP MLA John Dallat said a crowd banged on the windows of his car and shouted at him during a 20-minute ordeal in Kilrea, County Londonderry.
Mr Dallat said he phoned 999 and police rescued him during the incident on Main Street on Friday night.
But parade marshal Mark Heaney has contradicted the MLA's claims.
The behaviour of the bands on Friday night was "totally faultless", Mr Heaney told BBC Radio Ulster.
"We always make a point of speaking to police after the parade to see if there are any issues, and bar minor traffic issues, there were no incidents in Kilrea that evening," he said.
Speaking on Monday morning, Mr Heaney said Mr Dallat had pulled out in his car into a gap between two bands.
"As soon as he pulls out there's another band coming up the street," he said.
"At no stage - his car was in full view of myself the whole time - at no stage was anybody surrounding his car.
"The only time anybody was near Mr Dallat's car was whenever a band was coming up and trying to get past him."
However, Mr Dallat insists his car was attacked and that he gave an accurate description of the incident.
The East Londonderry MLA reiterated that he was "petrified out of his mind" and was still recovering from the ordeal.
Mr Dallat also rejected any suggestion that he obstructed the parade route with his vehicle.
"I wish his [Mr Heaney's] version of events was true, I wouldn't be struggling this morning to try to come to terms with the experience I had on Friday night when my car was completely surrounded, pictures taken of me through the windscreen, through the side windows, banging on the roof and all that kind of thing," he said.
"All I wanted to do was get out of the town.
"I can still see that battery of mobile phones, flashing and taking pictures, having me cornered like an animal - it was really horrible stuff."
The MLA added that photographs of his car which had been posted on Facebook were taken after he had been rescued by police, and not during the confrontation.
When contacted by the BBC, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) would not elaborate on their original statement, issue on Saturday.
That statement said: "Police received reports of a concern for safety from a 70-year-old male at 8:50 pm [20:50 BST] on Friday, 16 June in the Main Street area of Kilrea.
"Police were in the vicinity at the time due to a band parade taking place and were able to assist in resolving the incident."
In early 2010, opinion polls suggested he was Australia's most popular prime minister for three decades.
But controversies over a shelved emissions-trading scheme and an unpopular mining tax caused his support to fall, and his Labor party moved against him. His deputy, Julia Gillard, challenged him for the leadership and won.
The move, however, sparked a public backlash. Out of office, Mr Rudd remained a thorn in the side of Ms Gillard, consistently polling higher than her.
In June 2013, with an election looming and support for Labor plummeting, his backers called for a return to avoid defeat. Mr Rudd won a leadership challenge and returned to lead his party into the vote.
As support for Labor rose, he set a 7 September election date, but the gap with the Tony Abbott-led Liberal-National coalition then widened again. On election day, voters backed the opposition and ejected Mr Rudd from office. Two months later, he resigned from politics.
Kevin Michael Rudd was born in September 1957 in the coastal hinterland north of Brisbane.
His father, a farmer, died when Mr Rudd was 11 years old.
Apparently facing eviction from the farm and with nowhere else to go, his mother, Margaret, was forced to sleep overnight in a car with two of her four young children.
Four years later, Mr Rudd joined the Australian Labor Party, his family's experience of hardship having partly contributed to the decision.
As a student, he studied Chinese language and history at the Australian National University, from where he joined the foreign service, serving as a diplomat in Sweden and China.
But in 1988 he decided to change paths and became the chief of staff to the Labor premier in Queensland.
Ten years later, after carving out a reputation as a competent if slightly humourless technocrat - colleagues nicknamed him Dr Death - he won election to parliament for the Queensland seat of Griffith.
He harboured prime ministerial ambitions when he first arrived in Canberra, but it would be eight years before he became Labor leader, after impressing colleagues with his performance as shadow minister for foreign affairs.
A committed Christian with a neat turn in sound-bites, he seemed particularly well-equipped to appeal to the suburban swing voters who tend to decide Australian elections.
So in December 2006 he won the leadership, despite not having many close friends in the Labor caucus and little personal following.
In 2007, Mr Rudd led Labor to a landslide election victory against the Liberal government.
During his first premiership he was much more popular with the Australian people than with his colleagues in the Labor party.
Correspondents say there were concerns about his style of leadership - his aloofness from colleagues and what many viewed as intellectual arrogance.
But whatever his personal failings, Mr Rudd's legacy as prime minister was far-reaching.
He withdrew Australian troops from Iraq and stood firm in his country's commitment to Afghanistan.
He signed the Kyoto climate pact, and worked to reform health, education and controversial labour laws introduced by his predecessor, John Howard. But then his administration faltered.
Having described global warming as "the greatest moral challenge of our time", Mr Rudd saw his popularity nose-dive when he decided to shelve the centrepiece of his environmental strategy, an emissions-trading scheme.
His approval rating was further damaged when he decided to target the mining sector with a "super tax" on their profits.
The Labor party powerbrokers decided to move against him. His deputy, Julia Gillard, challenged for the leadership and Mr Rudd was ousted in June 2010.
Mr Rudd, however, was soon back in the cabinet as foreign minister, amid a backlash against Ms Gillard over the manner in which he was removed.
The two worked side by side for 17 months. But as Ms Gillard's poll figures fell, talk of a leadership challenge emerged. When a vote was called in February 2012, Mr Rudd contested the ballot but was defeated by 71 votes to 31.
That was not the end of the leadership speculation, however. Early in 2013, Ms Gillard set an election date of 14 September. As polling showed Labor on course for a resounding defeat, the rumbling began again.
Mr Rudd declined to contest a leadership ballot in March, saying he did not have the numbers. But by June, public support for Ms Gillard had fallen even further. Another ballot was called and Mr Rudd won.
Labor politicians looked to Mr Rudd to prevent a whitewash in the election. In the weeks leading up to the polls, he overhauled asylum and climate policy, and initially support for Labor rose significantly.
But then it fell again, and on election day Mr Abbott's Liberal-National coalition swept Labor from office.
"I know that Labor hearts are heavy across the nation tonight. I gave it my all. But it was not enough to win," he said, and stepped down from the party leadership.
Just over two months later, he resigned from politics.
"To have served as prime minister of Australia has been a great honour afforded to very few in our country's history," he said.
"The prime ministership of this Commonwealth is not easy; it is the hardest job in the land."
More than 95% of reported dumped rubbish was cleaned up within five days during 2013/14.
This is compares with just over 92% the previous year and 91.3% in 2011/12.
Blaenau Gwent was the best performer in Wales, with a 100% clear-up rate within five days.
The figures are included in the latest national performance statistics for councils in key areas.
In total, 31,301 fly-tipping incidents were reported across Wales, which is a slight rise on the previous year.
The response rate ranged from 80.2% in the Vale of Glamorgan and 81.1% in Neath Port Talbot to 99.2% in Rhondda Cynon Taf, 99.1% in Caerphilly and 99% in Carmarthen.
Denbighshire recorded 2,206 fly-tipping incidents, clearing up 94% within five days.
But Kelvin Hughes, Denbighshire's senior environmental crime officer told the Daily Post there was inconsistency between how authorities log the data.
"We take the view that to the public it doesn't matter whose land it's on; Denbighshire looks untidy, and that's what we want to get away from, which is why we look at fly tipping on private land as well as public land which we're responsible for," he said.
The judges scored the contest 15-15 after three rounds but Zou was given the verdict on countback.
Trailing 11-8 after two rounds, Barnes produced a huge effort in the third and appeared to have done enough to win.
Ireland's John Joe Nevin has qualified for the bantamweight final.
Mullingar man Nevin produced a classy performance to beat Cuba's world champion Lazaro Alvarez Estrada 19-14 in the bantamweight semi-finals to set up a gold medal contest with Britain's Luke Campbell.
Twice world bronze medalist Nevin won the first round 5-3 and he bossed the remaining two rounds to complete a 19-14 victory.
"I just believed I could beat the best in the world. The script was already written but I've re-written it," said Nevin after his win.
Barnes' contest was a far closer affair and the countback margin couldn't have been tighter with Zou edging it 45-44.

Irish team member Barnes, 25, was beaten 15-0 by the Chinese fighter at the same stage in the Beijing Olympics four years ago.
But the Belfast man was a different proposition four years on as befitting his status as the first Irish boxer to have won two Olympic medals.
"I gave it my all. I went in there and threw everything at him but he is so, so tricky," said a disappointed but gracious Barnes.
"And once I had him pinned down and was opening up, he's so smart and just picks you off and moves."
Barnes trailed 8-5 after the first round and the Belfast man felt that the opening three minutes ultimately cost him the fight.
"If I hadn't started so slowly, I would have won the fight."
Many observers felt Barnes' last-round rally might have been enough to edge the contest and the Irishman thought he had won the bout when it was announced that a countback verdict had been arrived at.
Last year, I had one fight in the World Championship and lost. I thought I was going nowhere
"I thought I had it because I threw more punches than him.
"Hopefully, he will be retired in four years time. I don't want to see that man again."
Before leaving the ring, Barnes had playfully pretended to strangle his Chinese foe and Zou responded by holding the Irishman's arm aloft.
"Last year, I had one fight in the World Championship and lost. I thought I was going nowhere," added Barnes.
"To go from that to lose to a three-time world champion and Olympic champion on countback. I'm happy."
Barnes and Conlan are among the five Northern Ireland medal winners at the London Games.
Katie Taylor won a women's lightweight boxing gold for Ireland on Thursday.
AfD co-founder Alexander Gauland, 76, and 38-year-old economist Alice Weidel will jointly head the campaign.
The party's current co-leader and public face of the party, Frauke Petry, has announced she will not take part.
She suffered a blow on Saturday attempting to set the AfD on a more moderate course.
Ms Petry had wanted the AfD to seek coalition with other parties and reject extremist views but delegates at the party congress in Cologne refused to even debate her motion.
Saturday also saw violent skirmishes between police and some of the 15,000 protesters who had gathered outside the congress.
Founded in 2013, the AfD rose on a wave of opposition to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's 2015 open-door policy to refugees.
The party is seeking to enter the national parliament for the first time in September's vote, but opinion polls suggest a sharp drop in the AfD's popularity.
As well as backing Mr Gauland and Ms Weidel, delegates also approved the party's election programme.
It includes a call to declare Islam incompatible with German culture and plans to strip immigrants convicted of serious crimes of their German passports.
Mr Gauland is seen as a supporter of senior AfD figure Bjoern Hoecke, who caused outrage this year by calling the Holocaust memorial in Berlin a "memorial of shame".
Mr Gauland himself provoked controversy by saying last year that Germans would not want a black German footballer as a neighbour. He later said the comments reflected his own views.
A major search operation is continuing after the man fell into the River Tay shortly after 04:00 on Saturday.
The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) has now been instructed to investigate.
The police watchdog will then submit its findings to the Crown Office and procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS).
Rescuers from the police, coastguard, ambulance and fire service were called to the scene of the incident on Saturday.
The inshore lifeboat from RNLI Broughty Ferry and a search and rescue helicopter were also involved.
The police's dive and marine unit carried out searches near to Moncrieffe Island on Monday.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "The matter has been referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner therefore it would be inappropriate to comment further."
It's a group many believe to be a shadowy and violent Hindu organisation with umbilical ties to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Mr Bhagwat spoke, among other things, about the past glory of Hindu kings and supported the new government's initiatives.
It was the first time in the history of independent India that the ideological fountainhead of the BJP had been given such prominence in the state media.
And considering India's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi was once a full-time RSS worker, the broadcast predictably created uproar among opposition parties and liberals.
The main opposition Congress and the Communist parties criticised the decision, accusing the government of being remote-controlled by the controversial organisation.
In response, Doordarshan said Mr Bhagwat's address had been covered as a news event and the government had nothing to do with the decision.
Established in 1925, the RSS (also known as the Sangh) has been banned three times in post-Independence India.
The first ban came after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 - the organisation was accused of plotting the murder of the national icon but was later absolved.
It was a major setback to the image and credibility of the group which it took nearly three decades to shake off.
The group was once again banned in 1975 when then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi suspended all fundamental rights and jailed almost the entire opposition leadership.
The RSS used this opportunity to build alliances with anti-Congress forces and spread its political influence.
In the late 1980s, the RSS, through its affiliates, launched a massive movement to build a Hindu temple at the place of a medieval mosque in the northern town of Ayodhya.
The Babri Masjid (mosque) was demolished in December 1992 by supporters of radical Hindu groups, including the RSS. The group was outlawed for a third time but the courts overturned the decision.
Critics, however, say the organisation continues to be a sectarian, militant group, which believes in the "supremacy of Hindus" and "preaches hate" against Muslims and Christian minorities.
Clad in khaki shorts and white shirts, RSS cadres regularly gather in small groups in parks and street corners in different Indian cities and towns to work out, sing patriotic songs, play games and talk about the past glory of "Hindu India".
These groups are called shakhas (branches) and are the backbone of the organisation's countrywide network of committed workers. The Sangh claims to have shakhas in 50,000 villages and cities across the country, but it does not maintain a membership register.
According to the RSS website, "only Hindu males" can join the group. For women, there is a separate organisation called the Rashtra Sevika Samiti (National Women Volunteers' Committee).
The controversy around the broadcast of Mr Bhagwat's speech has led to a wider debate about the future relationship between the government and the RSS.
Will the Sangh be able to force the government to follow its agenda? Or, will a "tough leader" like Mr Modi allow this to happen? Or, will both work together towards the similar goal of establishing Hindutva (Hindu-ness) as an all-encompassing, superior political ideology in modern India?
Some commentators have also raised the question as to why a non-elected body, outside the multi-party democratic system, should be allowed to influence the government's decision-making process. So far, Mr Modi has not commented.
The questions are being asked against a backdrop of a bitter turf war that was fought out in the open between the RSS and BJP when the party was in power from 1998 to 2004.
But the situation has changed since then.
After the BJP lost the election to Congress in 2004, the RSS lost much of its clout. Commentators say the RSS has learnt the hard way that it needs a friendly government in Delhi if it wants to remain influential.
Political analyst Neeraja Chaudhary says the RSS showed great pragmatism by backing Mr Modi as the BJP's PM candidate in the 2014 elections over senior leaders like former deputy PM LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi.
This, she says, despite the fact that as the chief minister of Gujarat, Mr Modi had sidelined the RSS leaders in the state.
"The RSS has taken a risk because Mr Modi will work on his own accord and may not necessarily take orders from the RSS," she says.
Senior journalist Ram Bahadur Rai, however, says there is "no rift between Mr Modi and the RSS".
Both Mr Rai and Ms Chaudhary agree that at the moment there is a clear understanding about the division of labour between Mr Modi and the RSS - that governance is the responsibility of the PM and that Mr Modi will ignore, within "acceptable limits", the Hindutva agenda being carried out at the grassroots level.
That, she explains, is the reason why Mr Modi keeps quiet when some of his party colleagues talk of "love jihad", accusing "Muslim boys of luring Hindu girls", or allege that "terrorism is taught in Muslim seminaries".
Ms Chaudhary says the RSS challenging Mr Modi is still a possibility sometime in the future, although "it is still premature to predict that situation because at the moment he is riding high".
"But pressure starts mounting the moment there is a decline in authority and acceptability of a leader."
It is probably then the pressure groups opposed to Mr Modi within the BJP and the RSS will think of making their move. But that situation, should it happen at all, is quite far away down the road.
The disjointed Scots pulled level on 47 minutes when Shaun Maloney's shot went in off John O'Shea after Jon Walters had put Ireland in front.
"Whatever you do in football, passing is still the most sacred thing," said Strachan after the Dublin match.
"Seven or eight times we gave the ball away without real pressure."
While that irked the Scotland manager, he thought the high-tempo match was "a great occasion", adding: "To get that intensity in June is ridiculous. It's quite phenomenal.
"I think the intensity came from both teams desperate to win and desperate to not lose."
The draw leaves Scotland third in Group D, on 11 points, and Ireland fourth on nine.
Poland lead the group on 14 points, with world champions Germany second, two points above the Scots, after thrashing Gibraltar 7-0.
Walters was in an offside position when he pounced to tap in a parry from Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall, who had stopped Daryl Murphy's header crossing the line.
Ireland's Glenn Whelan and James McCarthy were shown first-half yellow cards by Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli in a hard-fought match, McCarthy drawing blood from Russell Martin's nose when his elbow caught the Scotland defender in an aerial challenge.
Strachan added: "I thought the referee was terrific all game. He knew when people were looking for fouls. He helped make that intensity.
"I haven't seen the goal yet. I'm not interested if it was offside or not offside.
"Forget the offside or any challenges, the most important thing in that game was that seven or eight times we gave the ball away without real pressure. I think they got about 12 crosses from us giving the ball away."
Scotland struggled to cope with Martin O'Neill's side, especially in the first half, but there was an immediate improvement after the break, during which Ikechi Anya replaced Matt Ritchie.
Strachan said: "For all you say about systems, we couldn't get ours working, whether it was through Ireland pressing or their physical strength or a lack of match fitness.
"We had a look at it at half-time and moved a couple of people about. We never had a chance to see if our system worked - Shaun popped up.
"All I know is a very good player has got us a point, and a very good player 10 minutes from the end, who is no taller than me, is back at the right-back position heading the ball away.
"He's the most conscientious football player I've ever come across. He deserves every praise he gets."
Strachan refused to guess at the points total required to claim one of the two automatic places for the finals in France next year, but of the point gained in Dublin he said: "Most of the time in football you get what you deserve, so I think we're all right with that."
His assistant Mark McGhee told BBC Scotland: "We still thought, once we got the equaliser, we might conjure some way of winning the game.
"But in the end we are happy with the point and we go to Georgia and Germany, two more massive games."
The 37-year-old from Nottingham, who has been crowned world champion four times, said it was a "massive honour and a big surprise".
He added: "It's fantastic for me, my sport, my city and my family."
Froch, who has not been in the ring since May 2014, said he has still not made a decision over whether he will fight again.
He told BBC Radio Nottingham: "If I do fight again it will be once only. [It will be] my swansong, my retirement fight but I need to be really up for it."
The boxer, who has won 33 of his 35 fights at super middleweight level, grew up just outside Nottingham in the village of Gedling.
It was in Nottingham that Froch won his first world title against Canadian fighter Jean Pascal, in 2008.
He unified the IBF and WBA titles against Danish fighter Mikkel Kessler, in 2013.
He later retained both of those titles in fights against George Groves, the second bout was fought at Wembley in front of a record breaking crowd of about 80,000.
His exploits and affinity to Nottingham won him the accolade of becoming an honorary freeman of of the city, in September.
The bloomers, which have a 42.5in (107cm) waistband, are made of fine linen and embroidered with the VR monogram.
The sale also includes an "absolutely massive" chemise worn by Britain's longest-serving monarch.
Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said: "Both items are in remarkable condition - she probably only wore them once or twice."

The lace-trimmed chemise, measuring 60in (152cm), and bloomers were given to the seller's grandmother by one of Queen Victoria's ladies in waiting.
"These bloomers are 42.5in. Towards the end of her life she got very big - you're talking 50in - so these are from the late 1890s," Mr Aldridges said.
"The chemise is slightly later it's a 60in chest, which is absolutely massive. In modern sizes its four times XL."

Archaeologists started working on the Pocklington site in 2014 and have excavated more than 75 burial graves, known as barrows.
They described the latest find as "highly unusual".
Other finds include human skeletons, including a "young warrior", swords, spears and shields.
Those working at the excavation site said current investigations were looking into how the chariot and horses might be linked to human burials.
They said further testing and analysis was expected to reveal more information.
Paula Ware, from MAP Archaeological Practice, said the latest find could help shed more light on the ritual of Iron Age burial.
She said the proximity of the horse skeletons to the chariot suggested the animals played a crucial role in the burial ceremony.
Ms Ware added that the "rare discovery" would widen understanding of the Arras culture - a group of people who lived in the region at the time. | Two horse skeletons and the remains of a chariot dating back to the Iron Age have been found on a housing development in East Yorkshire. | 39,431,371 | 210 | 34 | false |

Sarah Ann Tyler, 39, died after being admitted to the emergency department with an overdose of pills in 2015.
At her inquest, coroner John Gittins said he did not believe demand for beds played a part.
But he asked Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board to outline what was being done to tackle it.
Mr Gittins, the coroner for north Wales east and central, decided to issue a Regulation 28 notice - which allows questions to be asked of an authority and a report issued when there is a risk of future deaths.
Earlier, he heard the situation at the hospital was probably worse today than two years ago.
Julie Smith, assistant director of nursing with the health board, said demand for beds constantly exceeded supply despite various efforts to solve the problem.
"It is an absolutely massive challenge but we are doing our best to manage the pressure," she said.
The inquest at Ruthin heard Miss Tyler, a mother-of-four from Wrexham, was found unconscious with a cable around her neck in the early hours of 9 February 2015.
She had been suffering from depression and severe ME, which had left her bed-bound, the coroner was told.
In a statement read at the inquest, her partner David Millward said she was virtually unable to move and was upset at being unable to care for her children.
The inquest heard she had twice previously been found with items around her neck.
On the day before she died, she took an overdose of pills in a doctor's presence and was admitted to the emergency department, where she refused to engage with staff.
While lying on the trolley, she disconnected her intra-venous drip several times, claiming it had fallen out.
Staff nurse Kate Roberts said Miss Tyler was under half-hourly observation because of the tablets she had taken and was last seen at about 00:20 GMT on 9 February.
About 15 minutes later she was found hanged and, despite attempts to resuscitate her, she died the following day.
Mrs Smith, who was involved in the serious incident review following the death, said various steps had been taken as a result.
Asked by the coroner whether such an incident was less likely to occur now, Mrs Smith replied: "Yes, I believe we have reduced the risk, though the improvements are on-going."
Mr Gittins said his initial fears about the observation of patients had been allayed but he remained concerned about the problem of finding beds for patients, even though he did not believe it was responsible for Miss Tyler's death.
"Patient throughput continues to be a problem and, perhaps, even greater now than it was two years ago. I believe it does create a risk," he added.
He said he was not persuaded Miss Tyler wanted to kill herself, as she had taken the action in a place where she could have expected to be found.
The coroner recorded a conclusion of accidental death.

We take a look back at some of the best of TV's whodunnits from over the past few years.
Who could forget this long-running saga involving the Dallas oil baron we all loved to hate?
It took eight months for viewers to discover that JR's sister-in-law and former mistress, Kristin Shepard. But not before JR's long-suffering wife Sue Ellen got the blame first and was jailed.
T-shirts printed with the slogans "Who Shot JR?" and "I Shot JR" flew off the shelves in the summer of 1980.
The storyline became one of television's first big water-cooler moments and prompted pretty much every soap going to get in on the cliffhanger act.
So it didn't have the glamorous Dallas backdrop but the British answer to the JR mystery was, of course, who shot Phil Mitchell?
The EastEnders bad boy came under fire in 2001 but fans only had to wait a month to find out who it was, although many suspects had come under the spotlight during that time, including Mark Fowler, Ian Beale, Steve Owen and Dan Sullivan.
But in April 2001, it transpired that Phil's ex, Lisa, had pulled the trigger. She confessed to Phil himself - while also admitting that she still loved him.
EastEnders followed up its successful storyline with several other whodunnits, including who killed Lucy Beale and who killed Archie Mitchell.
Another twist on the whodunnit, this device was first used by EastEnders back in 1985.
This time, the mystery surrounded teenager Michelle Fowler who had become pregnant. But who was the father? There were several suspects, including Tony Carpenter and Ali Osman but of course, we all now know that it was Dirty Den. Her best friend's dad.
Of course, it's not just soaps and their fans who love a good old whodunit. Many crime dramas have centred entire series' on finding an elusive killer.
Scandinavian drama The Killing (2007) saw Sophie Grabol's detective Sarah Lund investigating the rape and murder of teenager Nanna Birk Larsen, whose body was found in the boot of a car submerged in a lake.
Under suspicion on this occasion were Copenhagen mayoral candidate Troels Hartmann, along with his campaign manager Morten Weber, while Larson's teacher Rama also found himself on Lund's radar.
In the end, it turned out to be family friend Vagn Saerbaek - and it wasn't the first time he had killed either, having also murdered Lund's partner and a former girlfriend, too.
David Lynch's cult 1990s hit series was entirely based on this question.
Was it Laura's psychiatrist Dr Lawrence Jacoby, who was infatuated with the teen? Her boyfriend Bobby? What about Benjamin Horne, who had hired Laura as a prostitute? Drug dealers Leo Johnson and Jaques Renault also came under the spotlight.
But it was Laura's father who murdered her, while possessed by the demon Killer Bob.
Now fans are excited about series three arriving in May, 27 years after the first season aired. Watch this space.
The first series of Broadchurch in 2013 was a huge hit for ITV, as crime-fighting duo DI Hardy and DS Miller tried to solve the mystery of who murdered a local schoolboy. Viewers were addicted to the twists and turns of the plotline as Danny's dad and the local vicar were among those under investigation. The moment when DS Miller (Olivia Coleman) discovered her husband was the murderer was one of television's scenes of the year.
Series two couldn't quite match the original's dizzy heights but the current third and final series is gripping viewers once again as Hardy (David Tennant) and Miller try to catch a serial rapist.

They shone UV light on a simple, frozen mixture of chemicals mimicking the ices that form in space, between stars.
As it condensed and then warmed up, the ice produced "substantial quantities" of ribose, alongside other molecules.
Published in Science, the research is the first to show that sugars can be produced in such a simple way.
It suggests that these critical molecules could form when similar ices condense around dust grains and comets in the vicinity of a young star.
Previously, nobody knew how a complex sugar like ribose could emerge from the messy, icy environment of a solar nebula - the disc-shaped cloud that preceded our Solar System.
Some of life's other building blocks are better understood. Amino acids, which are strung together to make proteins, have been detected in previous, similar laboratory simulations and also detected in samples from comets and meteorites.
Sugars are more of a mystery - partly because they have proved difficult to detect.
Cornelia Meinert, from the Université Nice Sophia Antipolis in France, said she and her team were probably not the first to manufacture these molecules in astrochemical experiments; sugars, including ribose, may have been there all along - undetected.
"In all the experiments that were run for the last 20-30 years around the world, the sugars were probably there," Dr Meinert told the BBC News website.
"We have a fancy technique called multidimensional gas chromatography - and this was the reason why we are now able to detect them."
So what is the recipe for making ribose in space?
Dr Meinert and her colleagues mixed methanol and ammonia with water, and subjected the cocktail to low pressure and very low temperature (-195C) in a vacuum chamber. They then allowed it to condense on a very cold surface, just as "pre-cometary" ice might settle around dust grains.
As it condensed, they hit the mixture with intense UV light - such as the young Sun would have emitted - and let it to warm up to room temperature.
The resulting residue, when they tested it using multiple "fancy techniques", contained not only ribose, but a veritable cookbook of complex molecules.
"You might think that there are not a lot of organics formed in these ices - but in fact it's the opposite," Dr Meinert said.
"We see a lot of different compounds and classes of compounds: amino acids, acids, alcohols, aldehydes - and the sugars. This means that the sample is very complex."
Importantly, these products could all be dissolved in water; without that solubility, they could never be incorporated into fledgling life-forms.
The results are consistent with evidence of organic molecules recently gathered from the very surface of a comet, Dr Meinert said.
The Philae lander, famously dropped onto Comet 67P by the Rosetta spacecraft in late 2014, detected what one scientist described as "frozen primordial soup" - including some of the precursors for making amino acids and sugars.
Now it seems that sugars themselves - including complex ones like ribose, made from a ring of five carbon atoms - could also be surprisingly common in space.
As Dr Meinert explained, this has potential implications for the likelihood of life in the wider Universe: "These ices are everywhere - so in other star forming systems [as well as ours] you should find amino acids and sugar molecules."
Astrobiologist Dr Lewis Dartnell, a research fellow at the University of Leicester, said the French team had come up with "a very exciting result".
"[It shows] the complexity of astrochemistry and the repertoire of organic molecules that are created beyond the earth in interstellar regions," he said.

Campaigners worked for years to get the £69m scheme for the A21 near Tunbridge Wells approved.
But groups including The Woodland Trust objected to the destruction of 22 acres of ancient woodland.
Highways England say 44 acres of new woodland will be planted and managed for 25 years in mitigation.
The widening of the stretch of the busy A21 London to Hastings road was given final approval by the Highways Agency last May following a public inquiry in 2013.
The Freight Transport Association said the new road would be a huge improvement on the current bottleneck.
"It costs about £1 a minute to run a lorry so being sat in congestion is bad for business," said spokeswoman Natalie Chapman.
"It is also bad for air quality so we should see some real environmental benefits from this."
Woodland Trust spokesman Richard Barnes said the decision was taken to widen the road and lose the ancient woodland without looking at options such as tunnelling or improved pubic transport.
"One of the woods had 1,000 different types of fungi in it so a real wealth of wildlife has been lost," he said.
"This is irreplaceable habitat. It's been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years."
Highways England said the loss of ancient woodland along the A21 was unavoidable.
"We have coppiced trees along the route so that they are ready for translocation into the nearby 'receptor areas'," it said.
"In total, 9 hectares (18 acres) of woodland have been coppiced.
"Our woodland translocation is one of a combination of woodland creation measures that we will use to create 18.1 hectares of woodland in areas bordering the new dual carriageway. "
Total group sales rose 13.9% to £676m in 2015, with like-for-like sales - which strip out the impact of new stores - up 7.5%.
Underlying earnings at the chain rose 14.4% to £84.2m.
Pret said it was continuing to adapt its menu to meet the demand for healthy options and it is planning to open a vegetarian "pop up" shop this summer.
In the UK, sales of vegetarian products showed double digit growth last year. Avocado was the ingredient that saw the biggest rise in demand.
Clive Schlee, chief executive of Pret A Manger, told the BBC: "Demand for vegetarian foods is growing faster than for meat, but meat remains an important part of the diet.
"We are encouraging vegetarianism because we want to give meat eaters more options. I think vegetarian foods could look better and be better."
The chain said coffee remained an important area of growth, with customers buying 1.5 million cups a week from its global network of shops.
It said it had seen an increase in demand for breakfast-on-the-go, with 58% of sales occurring outside lunchtime.
The US was Pret's fastest growing market last year, achieving a 13.8% increase in like-for-like sales.
Pret opened 36 new shops last year - 23 were in the UK, six in the US, four in France and three in Hong Kong.
These included locations at major transport hubs such as Penn Station in New York, Nice Airport and Gare de Lyon station in Paris.
The company said it created 763 jobs worldwide, with 500 of them in the UK.
Clive Schlee said the chancellor's National Living Wage had meant a 5% increase in the company's wage bill, but he said they were committed to paying above their competitor's rates to keep their staff fully engaged in the business.
But Prince Edward, the first royal to publicly comment about the decision, said the 95-year-old will not be "disappearing into the background".
Prince Edward added: "It was a surprise, but not really a surprise."
He said Prince Philip "just proved that it might be possible to retire, which is quite good for the rest of us".
The duke, who turns 96 in June, will retire from royal duties in the autumn after more than 65 years supporting the Queen.
He will attend scheduled engagements between now and August but will not accept new invitations.
The prince said: "Although having for many years said it is a job from which you can't retire, he's just proved that it might be possible to retire, which is quite good for the rest of us.
"But at the end of the day you still have to do what is sensible and practical and as we all know from my father, he's extremely sensible and extremely practical.
"He's taken that decision and we respect that but we are not going to see him disappearing into the background."
The prince was asked if other members of the royal family would now be supporting the Queen.
"It is always a team effort and that's we do, and the show goes on," he replied.
"If an actor retires from a show, guess what? The show goes on and everybody shuffles around and we all fill in the spaces and keep it all going. That's what we will do... We support each other."

He is patron, president or a member of more than 780 organisations and will continue to be associated with them, but "will no longer play an active role by attending engagements", Buckingham Palace said in its announcement on Thursday.
The prince said: "The great thing about my father is that nobody's ever forgotten meeting him.
"So they've all got their stories and wherever he's been, wherever in the world, people still remember him and will continue to remember him and you can't get a better accolade than that."
Residents in parts of mid Wales have raised concerns about their reception.
One said it can even take up to five hours to receive a text message.
Montgomeryshire AM Russell George, chairman of the cross-party group on digital communications, has called for a meeting of mobile operators in the area.
Wayne Evans, of Newtown, in Powys, claimed his mobile service has become increasingly unreliable in the past few months.
"It's very frustrating," he said.
"It takes four to five hours before a text message will come through. It takes an hour to get through to Twitter on the internet. It's just appalling really."
Mr George said he has been contacted by frustrated residents in his constituency about the issue.
He called for a "concerted effort" by mobile operators to tackle signal problems in the region.
"In recent years, we have heard a lot about the launch of new 4G services and new network-sharing agreements between the operators, which are supposed to have improved coverage and speeds, but the reality in some rural areas is that mobile coverage has actually got worse," he said.
"I believe that mandatory roaming and compulsory sharing of mobile infrastructure are the two most practical solutions which will resolve this issue."
He hopes to meet with mobile operators in November.
Ofcom's regulatory affairs manager for Wales, Elinor Williams, said the problem is due to a programme of "mast rationalisation".
Mobile phone operators have agreed to share masts and are switching off some to find out which have the strongest signals.
"They are working out which ones are the most powerful, which services the greatest population and, therefore, which ones are the most profitable to them," she said.
"It's a programme of hit and miss at the moment, I think. In time it will settle down."
Lin Dong, who works at a labour dispute service, was charged with helping to organise protests, his colleague said.
Workers at the shoe factories in the southern city of Dongguan have been protesting for more than two weeks over their social security contributions.
The Taiwanese firm Yue Yuen makes shoes for brands like Nike and Reebok.
More than 40,000 workers in Dongguan, Guangdong province, had refused to report to work.
They had been pushing Yue Yuen's Taiwanese parent company, Pou Chen, for increased social benefits, compensation for overtime, housing benefits and a salary increase.
On Thursday, police detained Lin Dong and another activist, Zhang Zhiru, who was released a day later.
A majority of the workers have reportedly returned to the factories. However, details surrounding their return were not immediately clear.
Strikes are common in the city of Dongguan one of China's main manufacturing hubs, says the BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing.
But the scale and duration of this walk-out would have worried the authorities, fearing it could trigger wider social unrest, our correspondent adds.
The collision, involving the bicycle and a car, took place on Faraday Close, Harworth, in the north of the county, at about 14:00 BST on Wednesday.
A 26-year-old was arrested shortly after police launched an appeal to trace a car which failed to stop at the scene.
The victim, a 44-year-old man, has not yet been named.
Nama sold its NI property loan portfolio for £1.2bn in 2014.
Frank Cushnahan's role in the deal has been the subject of controversy.
Mr Wilson said it should be the police who decided whether Mr Cushnahan had done anything wrong, not "a bunch of amateurs in (BBC) Spotlight".
Mr Cushnahan served as an adviser to Nama between 2010 and 2013, having been nominated to the Nama NI advisory committee by Mr Wilson, who was then the finance minister.
Earlier this month, a BBC Spotlight programme broadcast a recording of a meeting in which Mr Cushnahan was handed a bag containing £40,000 in cash by a Nama client, John Miskelly.
In his first interview since the Spotlight programme was broadcast earlier this month, Mr Wilson said: "Frank Cushnahan is a friend, he did great work for me when I was in the department."
The DUP MP told the BBC's Talkback programme: "I would prefer if the people who would determine whether Frank did anything wrong or not was not a bunch of amateurs in Spotlight, who in my view have an agenda, but I would prefer if the police would deal with that."
Nama has reported Mr Cushnahan to the National Crime Agency and the Irish police.
He has denied any wrongdoing and both he and Mr Miskelly have said that their dealings were "lawful".
Mr Wilson, who said he had not seen the Spotlight programme, said: "He did a good job when I was in the department.
"He made firm representations for Northern Ireland with Nama and Nama had a big influence on a lot of properties and businesses in Northern Ireland.
"As far as I'm concerned this is an issue that the police will deal with and not a bunch of journalists who have an agenda."
The warning about stocks of 2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) sparked a flurry of calls to the Army, which carried out hundreds of explosions.
The Department for Education (DfE) said it worked with the Army to support schools with "necessary disposals".
Some schools were criticised for not warning the public about the blasts.
The controlled explosions were carried out between 21 October and 21 December 2016 after schools were advised to check the chemical by the government advisory science service CLEAPSS (Consortium of Local Education Authorities for the Provision of Science Services).
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) figures were released to the BBC under the Freedom of Information Act.

Controlled explosions were carried out on at least 589 occasions. On four occasions visits were "doubled up", meaning the issue had been previously reported and dealt with. On one occasion verbal advice was given.
594
visits to schools or colleges from 21 October to 21 December 2016
589 controlled explosions
4 repeat visits where issue was already dealt with
1 incident with only verbal advice
The chemical 2,4-DNPH is sometimes used in chemistry lessons and safe if stored correctly, but dangerous if allowed to dry out.
It is known to pose a risk of explosion by shock, friction or fire and is usually kept inside a larger container holding water.
The advice was to contact CLEAPSS in the first instance, which would then advise on the best way for the chemical to be disposed of.
In some cases, schools were advised to contact the Armed Forces or police, or take no action if it was believed the chemical posed no risk.
Dr David Kinnison, a chemical safety advisor, said the number of occasions was not a surprise as schools "did exactly as they were instructed".
"As a safety professional, I would always err on the side of caution," he said.
"Yes, there could have been possible other ways of dealing with this, however, the schools were presented with this advice.
"The positive is that a material which potentially could be unsafe was made safe, [and] the bomb disposal squads have gained some valuable experience," Dr Kinnison added.
Controlled explosions to dispose of the chemical were carried out on hundreds of occasions at schools across the UK.
The MoD said it cost just under £90,000 for the tasks to be carried out at English schools. It is still calculating the cost for tasks carried out elsewhere in the UK.
It said: "In line with policy on military assistance to the civil authorities, MoD will seek to recover costs from relevant authorities as appropriate. The MOD holds no information on additional costs incurred elsewhere."
The Thomas Adams School in Wem, Shropshire, attracted criticism from residents for not providing a public warning of the blast, which was carried out while children were trick or treating.
Controlled explosions also took place at two Carmarthenshire schools and at Turton High School in Bolton.
A government spokesperson said: "We contacted schools last year to remind them of the importance of storing chemicals for practical science activities carefully.
"We've been working with the Armed Forces and the police to support schools with any necessary disposals."
Streetmap said it had a "dramatic loss of traffic" following the launch of Google's "big map" service at the top of its search results page in 2007.
But in the ruling the judge said that, on the assumption Google held a "dominant position", it did not commit an abuse.
Streetmap said it would appeal.
In response to certain geographic queries, a clickable image from Google Maps - known as Maps OneBox - is displayed at the top of its search engine results pages.
UK-based Streetmap, which launched its online mapping services in 1997, argued that by having the clickable image and by the consequent relegation of a link to Streetmap lower down the page, Google was abusing its dominant position in the online search market.
The company had asked Mr Justice Roth to rule that Google had engaged in "anti-competitive conduct" contrary to provisions of the Competition Act 1998.
But the judge said the launch of Maps OneBox by Google was "not reasonably likely appreciably to affect competition" in the online map market, ruling that it was not important enough to be noticed.
He added that, in any event, Google's conduct was "objectively justified".
Speaking after the hearing, Streetmap director Kate Sutton said the decision was "unfair for small businesses".
"The decision makes it effectively impossible for a small business to bring a competition law complaint until it is too late, because the information required will simply not be known to them," she said.
"By raising the standard of proof from probability to 'appreciable effect' a complainant needs to have information which will usually only be known to the dominant company."
Tim Cowen, partner at law firm Preiskel & Co LLP, which acted for Streetmap, said: "This decision says that companies do not need to have evidence of compliance at the time, so long as they can find something later that may work as a defence.
"Streetmap's business was destroyed.
"When Google introduced Google Maps in 2007 it did not check for effects outside the US and put forward no evidence that any check was performed for the UK.
"This decision raises a question what big companies need to do to show compliance with EU and UK law."
A Google spokesman said: "The court made clear that we're focused on improving the quality of our search results. This decision promotes innovation."
The ruling comes after the European Union filed a complaint against Google in April last year over its alleged anti-competitive behaviour.
The firm has said it "strongly disagreed" with the allegations and looked forward to making its case.

United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic's header cancelled out James Milner's penalty at Old Trafford, leaving Liverpool without a win in four games.
Klopp said: "They played long balls in a wild game. We played the better football and had the better plan."
United counterpart Jose Mourinho said: "We attacked and Liverpool were the team that defended."
Mourinho, criticised for negative tactics in a goalless draw at Anfield earlier in the season, said he wanted to "see if the critics are fair" after Sunday's draw, after which he said Liverpool were "happy with a point".
"They were clever," added Mourinho. "They took their time, they know how to play football and control the emotions of the game.
"They knew they would be in trouble in the final few minutes."
Klopp played down suggestions the draw was key in the title race, with his side now third, seven points behind Chelsea.
Liverpool were without Sadio Mane - who scored for Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations - and defender Joel Matip, who was not given international clearance after turning down the chance to play for Cameroon in the tournament.
Klopp added: "When you see the line-ups and our circumstances, we had lots of little issues, you say 'a point at Old Trafford - let's take it and go home.' Of course it now doesn't feel like that because of the performance of my boys."
The German believes Liverpool were "dominating" until the 75th minute and, though his side only had 45% of possession, they did better the shot count with 13 to United's nine.
The Reds ran 12km further than their hosts but are now on their longest winless run of the season in all competitions.
"In the end period of the game when United started playing long balls - to Marouane Fellaini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic - after 80 minutes high intense football it is really hard," added Klopp.
"Usually you can accept a draw at Manchester United but I think after the entire 98 minutes we could have deserved a win."

United played 53 long balls in the game - classified by Opta as "a forward pass that is 35 yards or more and is kicked into a space or area on the pitch rather than a precise pass aimed at a particular team-mate" - while Liverpool themselves hit 34.
The game total of 87 was only eight behind the most played in a Premier League game this season - during West Brom's win at Crystal Palace in August.

Mourinho said the number of men defending Liverpool's area prompted his decision to introduce the physical Marouane Fellaini for full-back Matteo Darmian on 76 minutes.
The Belgian headed against the post in the build-up to Ibrahimovic's equaliser, although the switch to a more direct style triggered by his arrival resulted in just five United touches in the Liverpool area.
Mourinho said: "I have a problem with my neck because I was always looking to the left in the second half and I saw so many yellow shirts in front of me I thought 'let's go for it'.
"We lost two points when we wanted all three.
"The people need to know what Marouane Fellaini is great at and what he is not so good at. Marouane is very good in some aspects.
United, now unbeaten in the league since October, remain sixth, two points adrift of local rivals Manchester City and 12 behind leaders Chelsea.
The managers had a disagreement on the touchline late on, with fourth official Craig Pawson coming between them after an incident involving Roberto Firmino and Ander Herrera.
Liverpool forward Firmino was booked for shoving United midfielder Herrera in response to having his shirt pulled.
Mourinho said Klopp had wrongly thought he was asking for Firmino to be sent off, adding: "There was no problem at all."
Klopp added: "He wanted the minimum of a yellow card."
Sgt Steven Floyd, 47, had been placed in a closet by inmates, but he shouted to fellow officers and told them to get out of the building, officials said.
Geoff Klopp, of the Correction Officers Association of Delaware, added that Sgt Floyd's actions had "saved lives".
Earlier, officers stormed the prison block, ending a 24-hour standoff.
Prisoners in C Block at the James T Vaughn Correctional Center in the town of Smyrna took four staff and fellow inmates hostage on Wednesday.
One of the prisoners told a local newspaper they were protesting against US President Donald Trump.
On Thursday morning, a female prison employee was rescued and taken to hospital as police raided C Block.
Sgt Floyd, a 16-year veteran of the Department of Corrections, was found unresponsive after tactical teams used construction equipment to breach a wall and enter the building.
"Sgt Floyd Sr was a father, a grandfather, a loving husband. He worked overtime three to four times a week to put his kids through college, through masters school - anything his kids or his wife wanted, or his grandkids. He loved them with all his heart," said Mr Klopp.
Authorities have not said how he died.
"My prayers all day yesterday was that this event would end with a different result. But it didn't," Governor John Carney said on Thursday morning.
The governor called the situation "torturous" and promised a full investigation.
The rescued employee was found less than two minutes after the raid began.
She has been identified only as a female counsellor with the Delaware Department of Corrections.
Some inmates "actually shielded this victim and ensured her safety", said Robert Coupe, secretary of the Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
Officials say that she is in hospital, and is "alert and talking" after being rescued at around 05:00 local time.
At one point during negotiations authorities turned on the water, so that inmates could bathe and drink, however the inmates used the water to fill metal footlockers, which were then used to barricade prison hallways, officials said on Thursday.
Officials have not yet determined the attackers' motivation, but have said the weapons used were "sharp instruments".
Two of the prison employees and 46 inmates were released on Wednesday and overnight by the hostage-takers at the facility, which is the largest prison for men in the north-eastern state.
Three maintenance workers hid in the basement and were not discovered by the hostage takers.
They were able to get to the roof late on Wednesday, and were rescued by tactical teams.
Earlier in the day, inmates called the News Journal newspaper in Wilmington to explain their actions and make demands.
In that call, an inmate said their reasons "for doing what we're doing" included "Donald Trump. Everything that he did.
"All the things that he's doing now. We know that the institution is going to change for the worse."
He also demanded education, a better rehabilitation programme and called for inmates to be granted scrutiny of the prison budget.
Authorities said they were not sure if all the inmates had been held against their will.
All 120 inmates housed in the block should be considered "suspects", he said.
It was not the first hostage situation at the prison.
In 2004, a 45-year-old inmate at the prison raped a counsellor and took her hostage for nearly seven hours, before he was shot dead by a sharpshooter.
It is alleged Dr Reginald Bunting, who died in 2013, committed sexual offences against a number of past and present officers and staff with the force.
The other allegation is that when a number of officers came forward, their claims were not properly investigated.
The investigation will focus on how the force dealt with the complaints.
The doctor was employed by Avon and Somerset police force between 1972 and 2006.
The sexual assault allegations will be investigated separately by an independent retired officer from Merseyside Police, arranged by Avon and Somerset police.
The referral was made to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) in July to determine the level of investigation required.
IPCC commissioner Cindy Butts said: "We have decided to independently investigate how the complaints made by serving officers about Dr Bunting were dealt with on several occasions in 1990 and 1995. The IPCC is not investigating the sexual assault allegations against Dr Bunting."
A Railway Policing Bill is to be introduced at Holyrood to push forward devolution of law enforcement powers.
This would include the functions of the British Transport Police being taken over by Police Scotland.
Police bosses told Holyrood's justice committee that a merger would be "complicated but not insurmountable".
Representatives from BTP, Police Scotland, the Scottish Police Authority, and the Scottish Institute for Policing Research took part in a round-table session with MSPs at the Scottish Parliament.
Absorbing transport policing into Scotland's single force has been a long-running goal for Justice Secretary Michael Matheson.
The BTP itself wanted to continue providing the service, but with oversight from Holyrood instead of Westminster after devolution, and three railway unions came out against the plan.
But the Scottish government said integration would "ensure the most efficient and effective delivery of all policing in Scotland".
A Railway Policing Bill was announced in the latest Scottish programme for government, which would complete devolution of policing and put in place funding arrangements for integration.
During the meeting, BTP representatives voiced fears that the special skills of transport officers could be "diluted" and over whether currently "seamless" cross-border policing standards could be maintained.
Questioning why integration was necessary, BTP Deputy Chief Constable Adrian Hanstock said: "If it's not broken, what are we trying to fix?
"Why does BTP exist now if it's so easy to absorb it into a geographic force? There's a reason why the specialism is so valued by the industry and passengers - it hasn't just emerged out of a want from some enthusiasts. There's a real need for policing the railway in a different way."
Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins, of Police Scotland, admitted the merger would be "massively complicated", but insisted it could be successful.
He said: "This isn't a land-grab by Police Scotland. We will respect the decision of parliament.
"It would be complicated, but not insurmountable. There would be massive transition issues, but operationally, we could police the rail network in Scotland."
He added that staffing levels in train stations would be maintained, and would also be supplemented by Police Scotland officers which are not currently "routinely" dispatched to support BTP.
Nick Fyfe, from the Scottish Institute for Policing Research, agreed that integration would be a "highly complex task", pointing to a "distinctive culture and ethos in policing the railways" which would need to be respected during any merger.
The meeting heard that staffing levels in railway policing would be "ring-fenced" after a merger, with officer numbers guaranteed in all but "times of crisis".
However, Nigel Goodband, from the BTP Federation, said he could "guarantee" that the expertise of BTP would be "diluted", with some officers wanting to remain with the force rather than move to Police Scotland and others choosing to retire. "Ultimately you will lose expertise," he said.
Tory MSP Oliver Mundell warned that if the government "rush" the merger decision it risked "losing expertise, and a continued diminishing of trust in the single police force".
ACC Higgins replied that given Police Scotland is currently in a period of transition, this could in fact be a good time to absorb BTP.
Committee convener Margaret Mitchell said it was "clear that there is not a consensus on what is a very complex issue".
The British Transport Police Federation had already highlighted concerns with the plan in submissions to the committee, saying that "the current climate of policing within Scotland does not lend itself to integrating the BTP and what is a successful model of policing".
They said Police Scotland "is still very much in its infancy", adding that "no evidence to date has been able to state clearly what, if any, advantage there would be in dismantling the current BTP model of policing in Scotland and integrating it within a geographical routine form of policing."
The group further noted concerns about interruptions in the level of service for the estimated 21m passengers who make cross-border journeys each year, and about the potential for officers being pulled away from their core duties to "bolster the resilience of Police Scotland" in other areas.
However, the group concluded that they would "work with the Scottish government to seek the best possible outcome" for officers and the travelling public, a sentiment echoed by the BTP itself in its submission.
The Scottish government has insisted that the specialist skills and knowledge of officers would be maintained, but said this could be achieved "from within our national police service".
The Scottish Institute for Policing Research meanwhile said there would be "complexities" in any merger, highlighting the importance of "careful scrutiny" of financial, strategic and operational aspects.
The blue "Please offer me a seat" badge, and accompanying card, were trialled by 1,200 people in September.
The badge will join TfL's "Baby on board" badge for pregnant women as a permanent feature from spring 2017.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan called the roll out "great news" for Londoners.
During the trial, 72% of journeys were said to be easier as a result of the badge, while in 86% of trips participants reported feeling more confident when asking for a seat.
There is no set definition of conditions that qualify for the badge and card, but TfL say the system will be based on trust - as with its "Baby on board" badge scheme.
Twitter user @BlueTube2016, who blogged about her experience during the trial, said: "Before I had the badge, I was always really anxious about travelling on peak.
"Without something to see, I didn't want to risk being interrogated about my invisible disability, or have to justify my need for a seat, so I suffered in silence.
"Before I had the badge, I never had the confidence to ask for a seat unless I had a visible sign," she said.
While welcoming the scheme, Alan Benson, chair of Transport for All, warned that some customers "don't want to use a badge and card".
"We want to see those people supported too, and for everyone to get a seat who needs one."
When it is launched, TfL will become the first European transport provider to officially recognise hidden impairments in such a way, it is believed.
But that's what 13 "sexy singletons" are hoping to do on Love Island, which has just begun its third series on ITV2.
If you've never seen it before, the premise is to couple up and convince the public to keep you on the island in order to win £50,000 - all while trying to find your perfect match.
Think Big Brother but with board shorts, bikinis and more under-the-sheets shenanigans than you can shake a stick at, as the couples chop and change throughout the series.
If you have seen it before, it's likely to be one of your guilty pleasure programmes you've agreed to dedicate the next seven weeks of your life to. Or you may throw it in your trash TV basket.
You may remember Love Island in its previous life as Celebrity Love Island, which ran from 2005-06 and featured the likes of Jayne Middlemiss, Callum Best and Strictly Come Dancing's Brendan Cole trying to find love.
It was revived two years ago with average Joes taking part and was met with relatively modest success, watched by an average of 595,000 people - but still a hit for ITV2.
Last year it exploded, with an average of 1.4 million fans tuning in daily to watch. The show became must-see viewing amongst mainly female (67.4%) viewers and under 35s (63.6%).
Scheduled against Channel 5's Big Brother, about 1.2 million people are currently tuning into the sunny island escapes in Mallorca - 200,000 more than those watching the action in rainy Borehamwood.
So what's all the fuss about?
Predominantly aged 20-23 - with the oldest a positively ancient 31 - this year's contestants have clearly been cast for today's social media and millennial audience.
They all have very active Instagram pages (which was likely a pre-requisite to appear), but here are a few that stand out.
Executive assistant Chloe, 22, says she's come on the programme "looking for the love of my life".
If you're a fan of Noughties pop you might recognise Marcel, who used to be in Blazin' Squad - but more on him later.
Oil rig worker Sam, 21, introduced himself by saying: "I pull birds for a living."
But don't think it's all glamour models and wannabe celebrities - 27-year-old Camilla works in explosive ordnance disposal, going into countries after conflicts and getting rid of landmines so they don't injure civilians. Oh, and she apparently dated Prince Harry.
The Twitter commentary that accompanies each episode is of epic proportions, which gives viewers all the more reason to watch it live to be part of the conversation.
#LoveIsland trended every night in its first week, with viewers keen to share their views on the villa's antics.
The first episode was full of memes on how Marcel was trying to keep his Blazin' Squad past a secret, but then told a bunch of his housemates. Unfortunately as the group's first hit was in 2002 and most of the contestants are in their early 20s, Marcel's claim to fame was met with mostly tumbleweed.
After the third episode there was a lot of debate over whether Camilla was too "boring" because she failed to kiss or fall in love with anyone in the first 48 hours.
Viewers this year will be hoping for a similar sort of scandal that last year's series produced.
Miss Great Britain Zara Holland lost her crown after scenes showing her performing a sex act with a fellow contestant were screened.
Miss GB organisers said they couldn't promote her "as a positive role model moving forward", adding she "simply did not uphold the responsibility expected of the title".
But it all happened without the model knowing as she was in the villa without access to the outside world. A week later she quit the show after her mother fell ill.
The show attracted further controversy after it broadcast islanders Emma-Jane Woodham and Terry Walsh having sex 10 minutes after the watershed.
Seven people complained to Ofcom, but the watchdog cleared ITV2, saying the broadcaster had given viewers enough warning.
Like most reality TV shows these days, contestants hope their appearance will be a launch pad for other things.
For some, it's led to... more reality TV.
Series one's Jon Clark and series 2 winners Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey (pictured above) have appeared in The Only Way Is Essex, and fellow series contestant Rykard Jenkins moved on to Ibiza Weekender. First series hopeful Josh Ritchie went on to star in Ex On the Beach.
But there have been other more lucrative successes - last year's runner-up Olivia Buckland launched her own clothing range earlier this year.
She also secured a number of endorsement deals with her Love Island partner, Alex Bowen, including Christmas pudding flavoured condoms.
Yes they do apparently, although most haven't.
Despite promising to stay together forever on the show, Cara and Nathan managed to last a year before splitting up in April. Last month Cara announced she was pregnant with Nathan's baby, but they would not be reuniting.
More happily, Olivia and Alex announced their engagement after a New Year's Eve proposal and are set to get married next summer.
Fellow series two couple Scott (brother of Emmerdale star Adam) Thomas and Kady McDermott are still going strong, living together in Manchester.
And there has also been the first Love Island baby this year - after 2016 contestants Cally Jane Beech and Luis Morrison welcomed baby Vienna in May.

Otherwise "nothing, up to and including the break up of the UK... would be inconceivable", he argued.
Mr Jones is touring the United States to promote Welsh business.
The Conservatives called the speech a "betrayal" of the people of Wales that would harm inward investment.
The first minister said on Friday that, while Leave campaigners in the UK government have an "absolute duty" to honour pledges that Wales will not be worse off financially outside the EU, that alone is not enough.
Mr Jones told an audience at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs: "I believe the process of withdrawal must be accompanied by a reformed governance of the United Kingdom for the long term.
"There can be no return to the old constitutional status quo, where the United Kingdom was one of the most centralized states in the developed world.
"But we have to embrace the new reality with fresh constitutional thinking if our British Union is to survive the new tensions created by EU exit.
"Unless we take this seriously, nothing - up to and including the break up of the UK into its component parts - would be inconceivable."
Mr Jones said the UK's disintegration is not something he wants, but stressed "scenarios that seemed little more than political fantasies a few years ago could become plausible if we fail to make the radical changes necessary to put the UK's constitution on a sustainable footing".
In June, he suggested there could a new federal arrangement of the UK nations to avoid Wales being seen as "some sort of annexe to England".
In Friday's speech, Mr Jones also said Wales remains "open for business", but repeated his call for the UK to "retain access" to the EU single market or risk "needless economic harm on our country and our citizens".
Responding for the UK government, a Wales Office spokesman said its ministers were "working across government and internationally to open up new opportunities for Welsh businesses".
The spokesman added: "The people of Wales voted to leave the European Union and the UK Government, working with the Welsh Government, local authorities and other bodies, will deliver positive outcomes for the country.
"One of the new Prime Minister's first visits was to Wales where she underlined her commitment to the country's success post-Brexit."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies accused Mr Jones of an "unforgivable betrayal of the people of Wales" that could "only harm prospects for inward investment".
In one of his strongest attacks on the first minister, Mr Davies said: "There is a time and a place to discuss constitutional issues, but Carwyn Jones is supposed to be in America to sell Wales to the world like never before.
"Instead, in a speech that came straight out of the Nicola Sturgeon playbook, the first minister chose to talk down the economy and to stoke greater uncertainty over the future of the United Kingdom."
Earlier, Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said keeping "full membership" of the single market, rather than just access to it, was essential for Welsh exports to avoid punitive tariffs.
On the face of it, this does sound like a speech Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon would deliver.
As well saying the constitutional make-up of the UK will have to change post-Brexit, Carwyn Jones also says Wales will not give its consent to any deal unless there is access to the European single market.
The problem is that Wales was the only one of the devolved nations to vote to leave, in almost exactly the same way as England.
Mr Jones' challenge will be persuading people in Wales that membership of the single market is important enough to scupper Brexit when many voted to leave, knowing full well that the terms of international trade could change.
The call for a more federal structure is familiar territory for the first minister but he restates it now at a time when there will be presumably far greater priorities for Theresa May's government as it looks to takes Britain out of the EU.
Two casualties were taken to hospital in a serious condition following the blast, near the Hebron Road.
A police statement said bomb disposal experts had determined that a device exploded in the back half of the bus.
Many of the injured were on the bus but others were in a passing car. The car caught fire along with a second bus that was empty.
The head of the emergency department at Jerusalem's Hadassah Medical Center told Israeli Army Radio that some of the injuries were caused by flying metal nails and nuts.
A police spokesman told Israeli Channel 2 television that investigators were still trying to determine who had planted the bomb.
He declined to confirm reports that one of the two people in a serious condition was not carrying any identification papers and was considered a suspect.
The explosion happened in the evening rush hour sending up a huge cloud of dark smoke over the city skyline.
Emergency workers were quick to remove the charred wreckage of the two buses and a car from the road and reopen it to traffic.
For many, images from the scene here will bring back worrying memories of the bomb attacks by Palestinian militants that last took place in this city more than a decade ago.
This blast comes just over a week after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a decrease in the wave of attacks seen over the past six months was due to the "aggressive, responsible and systematic policy" of his government.
Palestinian militant group Hamas, which carried out a wave of bus bombings in the city in the early 2000s, praised Monday's blast, calling it "a natural reaction to Israeli crimes".
Over the past six months, 29 Israelis have been killed in a wave of stabbings, shootings or car-ramming attacks by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs.
About 200 Palestinians - mostly attackers, Israel says - have also been killed in that period.
The assailants who have been killed have been shot dead either by their victims or by security forces as they carried out attacks. Some attackers have been arrested.
Other Palestinians have been killed in clashes with Israeli troops.
Sturridge, who has made only 10 Premier League starts since the beginning of last season, has not played since injuring a hamstring on 6 December.
Manager Jurgen Klopp says he will be patient with the England forward.
"Out of responsibility, we have to do everything we can to give him the physical strength to be able to play Premier League football," Klopp said.
"To have a player like Daniel in your squad is always a good situation. When it's not possible to use him, it's not a good situation.
"We have enough games this season when we hopefully can use him, but not, if nothing happens, for at least the next 10 days."
Sturridge, who joined Liverpool from Chelsea for £12m in January 2013, has suffered a series of injury troubles during his time at Anfield.
He suffered four separate setbacks last season, including a torn hip muscle that required surgery, and has managed just six appearances in all competitions this term.
Sharia is Islamic religious law based on the Koran, the life of Muhammad and the rulings of Islamic scholars.
Mr Gingrich's comments follow an attack in the French city of Nice, which has killed at least 84 people.
His comments echo the sentiments of Donald Trump, who has said Muslims should be banned from entering the US.
"Western civilisation is in a war. We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background and if they believe in Sharia they should be deported," Mr Gingrich told Fox News.
"Sharia is incompatible with western civilisation. Modern Muslims who have given up Sharia, glad to have them as citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door," he added.
Hours earlier, a driver, identified by French media as Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, rammed a lorry through a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day before he was shot dead by police.
Delivering remarks on Friday, President Barack Obama said people "must not allow themselves to be divided by religion" following the attack.
"We cannot give into fear or turn on each other or sacrifice our way of life," he said.
"It's been a difficult several weeks in the US but the divide that exists isn't between races or religion, it's between people who recognise the common humanity of all people."
Witnesses say the 31-year-old French Tunisian swerved the vehicle in an attempt to hit more people.
Police reportedly discovered guns and grenades inside the lorry.
No group has claimed responsibility but French President Francois Hollande described the tragedy as a terror attack.
Mr Gingrich was in the frame as running mate to likely Republican nominee Mr Trump before Indiana Governor Mike Pence was asked.
He also suggested monitoring US mosques and jailing anyone who visits websites favouring a terror group.
"Anybody who goes on a website favouring Isis, or al-Qaeda, or other terrorist groups, that should be a felony, and they should go to jail," he added.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the attack in Nice as well as the former House Speaker's comments.
CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awaid said Mr Gingrich's suggestion that American Muslims be subjected to an "Inquisition-style religious test" plays into the hands of terror recruiters and "betrays American values".
Mr Trump, who will be confirmed as the Republican presidential nominee next week in Cleveland, sparked international outrage last year after calling on the US to ban all Muslims from entering the country.
The proposal was roundly condemned by Democrats and many Republicans, including his expected running mate Mr Pence.
He later suggested the ban apply only to people coming from countries with a terror history against the US.
Chelsea face Paris St-Germain on 16 February before their fifth-round FA Cup tie with Manchester City.
"We play against two great sides and we have to try to win those games," said the Blues number one.
"The only way to save our season is to reach the final in one or both of them."
Following their 1-1 Premier League draw with Manchester United, Chelsea still sit low down the Premier League table in 13th position, 17 points from a Champions League spot.
"Obviously every time we don't win in the league, and there is one game less, there is less chance to get into the top four," the 23-year-old told Chelseafc.com
Chelsea have gone nine matches without defeat under interim manager Guus Hiddink and they have not given up on reaching a top-four spot.
"We will see where we are with five-six games in a row and see whether we can get there or not."
The Blues next league game is against relegation-threatened Newcastle on Saturday.
Sharon Alvares, 30, died in hospital following the blaze in Manchester Road on Sunday 7 November.
The family tribute stated: "To all who knew her, she was a loving, kind-hearted and ever smiling person."
Her husband, 33, and 16-month-old daughter remain in a critical but stable condition.
A third person, a 21-year-old woman, has been released from hospital following treatment.
Police said the fire was not being treated as suspicious.
The move could end private investing in the company after more than 26 years, leaving just two shareholders.
The US entertainment firm set up Euro Disney to run the Disneyland Paris resort, which opened in 1992.
Disney said it would plough 1.5bn euros (£1.28bn) into the company and aims to buy out private investors, offering 2 euros per share.
The 2015 terror attacks on Paris and "challenging business conditions" in France and across Europe have dented its finances, it said.
The latest rescue follows a 1bn-euro refinancing in 2014 in the wake of falling visitor numbers and spending.
Disney injected more than 400m euros into the business, while about 600m euros in debt was converted to shares in the US group.
While the 2 euro-a-share offer is 67% higher than Thursday's closing price, it may not be as attractive to investors who bought shares earlier in the firm's history.
The company first sold shares to the public in 1989 for 72 francs apiece, the equivalent of 10.98 euros, and the stock climbed as high as 165.2 francs in 1992.
Disney has had to bail the company out through restructuring its debt on a number of occasions and has been gradually increasing its stake. Before the latest announcement it owned 76.7% of Euro Disney.
The latest move includes buying 9% of the company's stock from Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal's Kingdom Holdings, which bought a stake in the company in 1994 during one of its early restructurings.
Kingdom Holdings will keep a 1% stake in Euro Disney, and if the remaining private shareholders agree to the latest offer, Disney will own the rest.
Shareholders could reject the offer and keep their shares, but if Disney buys enough of the stock to own more than 95% of the company, it will have to buy the rest under French stock market rules.
Despite being the largest theme park in Europe, Euro Disney has recorded losses in 18 of its 25 financial years. Fewer than expected visitors and fees charged by Disney for the use of its branding have been blamed by investors for its poor performance. Last year, it paid 75m euros in royalties and management fees on revenue of 1.28bn euros.
And I should know: as Jones is one of the few High Street staples to offer a larger than average range of big sizes, my local branch was the first port of call to accommodate my own size nines.
Now it lies empty, the latest instalment in a troubled footwear history that sentenced me to boy's lace-ups at school and overhanging toes in any sandal since.
With independent shops rarely stocking shoes above size seven and larger brand outlets offering merely one or two options - if I'm lucky - finding suitable shoes remains the Holy Grail.
Since the 1970s, the average shoe size of men and women in the UK has increased by two sizes, from a size eight to 10 and four to six, respectively, according to research from the College of Podiatry.
"When size five was average the industry would think providing two sizes above to a seven was just about the fringe of adequate for women, but now that it's a six, we should be seeing far more eights and even nines as standard," says the college's Dr Jill Halstead-Rastrick.
She believes the footwear industry is not moving with the times to accommodate a nation that is taller and heavier and so by evolutionary logic, has larger feet, and warns this is an issue that could be a time bomb for the next generation.
"Increased weight splays the feet and we are seeing a lot of adults wearing shoes that are too narrow or small. This is only going to become more of a problem as we continue to grow in stature - we need a wider variety of larger sizes."
It's a familiar narrative to Laura West of the Society of Shoe Fitters.
She estimates around 30% of inquiries she receives are from girls aged around 12 unable to find school shoes above a size eight, and who have to wear boys' shoes as a result. Irrespective of any aesthetics this has serious repercussions for girls' foot health, she argues.
"Boys' shoes will fit differently, and ill-fitting footwear does change [girls] physiology.
"If feet hurt you shift your weight unnaturally when you walk and this wears out other joints and tendons leading to hip, knee and ankle and neck problems later on."
West believes the problem stems from the demise of British manufacturing in the 1980s, when many UK brands shifted production overseas to cut costs. This has meant less research into foot development and a deeper disconnect between the manufacturer and consumer needs, she says.
"When we produced shoes here we could run short production lines including larger sizes at little extra cost, but in an overseas factory you have to order in far greater numbers, which becomes cost prohibitive.
"Independent shops can't compete with low cost imports - and they would have been the ones to feedback the inability to supply certain items like larger sizes to their manufacturers' representatives.
"Now consumers trawl from High Street chain to supermarket and the staff have little involvement; it is a self-service mass market approach and an 'if we've got it you can have it - if not tough' mentality, so manufacturers don't have a clue."
A focus on fashion over quality has compounded the problem for many UK women's shoe makers. By contrast the men's market has benefitted from higher-priced items such as Goodyear welted shoes which enjoy a healthy export trade to Europe, Asia and US.
"The price commanded for them makes UK production profitable," says British Footwear Association chief executive John Saunders.
By contrast "most UK women's shoemakers were operating in the volume to mid-tier market," he says, and were hit hard in the late 20th Century by increasing Asian competition, retailers demanding a greater share of profits and consumers turning to cheaper shoes.
China now accounts for about 65% of shoes made worldwide, and with this production coming from a country where the average female shoe size is a UK three-and-half, this virtual monopoly has hit shoes sizes.
Former luxury shoe buyer Naomi Braithwaite, now a fashion marketing and branding lecturer at Nottingham Trent University, recalls how standard sizes of shoes at the company she worked for reduced after it switched production from Italy to China.
"Sample sizes were based on Chinese feet which are smaller boned and narrower. As well as this, many of the designers at the luxury end simply didn't like to see their shoes in bigger sizes as they didn't think they looked as beautiful as the more petite sizes."
The additional cost involved in producing larger sizes to cover the extra material and increased shipment weight is another deterrent for a somewhat already reluctant industry, she concedes.
It's a gap in the market that Long Tall Sally, a specialist in fashion and footwear for tall women, has successfully exploited. Its shoe range starts at size seven and goes up to 13.
Making shoes above a size eight costs the firm about £5 extra a pair because of the extra material, and it also uses a bespoke 'last' - a three-dimensional foot shaped mould on which each shoe is made.
Yet it seems to be paying off with footwear growing from a 5% to 15% share of the total business. Size 10 is now its most popular size, representing 30% of footwear sales.
"Demand for larger size women's shoes has risen steadily," says Long Tall Sally's shoe buyer, Chris O'Shea.
The other option if you've larger feet, is to buy German.
"Germany is very much an exception - it has always had much better selection in larger size footwear and what they do well is shoes with quality, comfort and longevity'" says O'Shea.
While Germany still outsources production to Asia, many of its footwear brands retain head office, marketing and design in the country - with a consistent focus on function and quality over fashion.
It's why Dr Halstead-Rastrick often directs patients to German brands. But she says the industry could better use technology to provide more personalised fittings without the prohibitive prices that handmade shoes usually command.
"You can even scan and measure feet via a phone app now, so surely we can't be that far off a situation where we can send our measurements to companies and say, this is the shape of my foot can you make me something?"
Here's hoping change is afoot.
The sale of the brand by Berry Bros and Rudd brings it into the same ownership as the distillery where it is made.
Nearby is the cooperage, which is also owned by Edrington.
It joins other leading brands owned by the Glasgow-based distiller, including Highland Park and The Macallan, as well as blended whisky Famous Grouse.
Berry Bros and Rudd, established in 1698, bought the Glenrothes Speyside brand in 2010, as part of a portfolio including bourbon, gin, rum and ginger liqueur.
It will continue to distribute Glenrothes in the UK, while Edrington already sells it overseas.
Paul Ross, of Edrington's super premium division, said the company was "very much looking forward to accelerating growth" of Glenrothes Speyside in export markets.
In other whisky news, Loch Lomond Distillers has sealed a deal with a large Chinese food and drink distributor, Cofco, with hopes for strong growth in that market.
It is based in Dunbartonshire and has a distillery in Alexandria and another in Campbeltown.
Its brands, in addition to Loch Lomond whisky, include Glen Scotia, High Commissioner, Glengarry, Inchmurrin, Clansman and Littlemill single malt.
The company was bought three years ago from long-time family ownership, and is seeing new investment in distribution. | Kilmarnock have signed former Hibernian midfielder Paul Cairney on a two year contract.

Some 34.3 million Americans watched the ceremony - a near record low - amid the Hollywood diversity controversy.
The lower figures could reflect civil rights leader Al Sharpton's call for a "tuneout" in protest at the absence of people of colour among the nominees.
"One would have to assume we were effective and part of the decline," Sharpton said in a statement.
"And to those that mocked the idea of a tuneout, it seems the joke was on them."
It was the second straight year of all-white acting nominees, and the host, black comedian Chris Rock, was quick to address the furore in his opening monologue which was generally well received.
The show also addressed issues of sexual assault, gay rights and environmentalism as ratings fell steadily throughout the broadcast's last hour.
The statistics continue a trend seen with other live award shows, with this year's Grammy Awards, Golden Globes, Emmy Awards and Tony Awards all showing ratings declines.

Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo deny murdering Hannah Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk, and David Miller, 24, from Jersey.
Their bodies were found on a beach on the island of Koh Tao last September.
The men became suspects after they were spotted on CCTV that night on the same beach where the murders took place, AFP news agency reported.
The trial began earlier this month and, when it resumed on Wednesday, police told the court CCTV footage showed Ms Witheridge and Mr Miller visiting two bars on the island with friends, hours before they died.
According to the Reuters news agency, Police Colonel Cherdpong Chiewpreecha told the court how footage from 17 cameras along a road on the island helped investigators trace the British pair's movements.
It was played to the court which is on the neighbouring island of Koh Samui, where the trial is being heard in stages over the next two months.
A police officer previously told the trial of the severe injuries Miss Witheridge suffered and of the evidence that she had been raped. Mr Miller's body was discovered with severe head injuries several metres away, he said.
The prosecution says a DNA match between samples found on Miss Witheridge's body and the two defendants is central to its case.
Defence lawyers had asked for the samples to be independently verified but have now been told there is nothing left of them to re-test.
Police have, however, agreed to hand over the garden hoe which was the murder weapon, along with a shoe and a plastic bag.
The discovery of the bodies last September sparked a major police investigation and intense local and international pressure to find those responsible.
Mr Zaw and Mr Wai (also known as Win Zaw Htun), both 22 and migrants from Myanmar, also known as Burma, were arrested several weeks later.
They are said to have confessed to the crime but later retracted their statements.
The defendants have repeatedly stated their innocence over the murders, with the defence alleging they were framed.
Verdicts in the case are not expected until October.

It crashed during an emergency landing in the Pakistani-administered Gilgit-Baltistan region.
The wives of the Indonesian and Malaysian envoys, two pilots and a crew member also died. They were to attend the opening of a tourism project.
Two senior Pakistani ministers said the crash was down to a technical fault.
Earlier, the Pakistani Taliban said they were behind the attack.
But Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, and Foreign Minister Azez Chaudhury said there appeared to have been technical problems with the helicopter.
This is one of the most tragic aviation disasters for the Pakistani military in decades. The last time one of its air crashes killed a foreign diplomat was in 1988 when a C-130, carrying then military ruler Gen Zia ul-Haq, US Ambassador Arnold Raphel and several of the army top brass, crashed in southern Pakistan, killing all on board.
The diplomats flying in the ill-fated MI-17 on Friday were headed for the inauguration of a ski chairlift, built in the breathtaking resort of Naltar, in northern Pakistan.
The 180-seat lift was donated by Switzerland and installed by the Pakistan Air Force. Its test run was completed in August, but its formal opening was delayed several times due to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's preoccupations elsewhere.
Today Mr Sharif flew to within 40km (25 miles) of Naltar valley, but just then the news of the crash came and he had to turn back without touching down at the regional airport in Gilgit.
The area is not a stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban (TTP). The militant group earlier issued a statement saying they had shot down the helicopter with an anti-aircraft missile, intending to kill the prime minister.
Military spokesman Asim Bajwa said in a Twitter post that Norwegian envoy Leif Larsen and Domingo Lucenario of the Philippines had been killed.
He said five others were injured, including the Polish and Dutch ambassadors.
Eleven foreigners and six Pakistanis were on board the MI-17 helicopter when it came down in the Naltar valley, he added.
The helicopter hit a building belonging to an army school in Gilgit-Baltistan. The building caught fire but no children were in class at the time, a senior official told the AFP news agency.
Local resident Sher Ahmed told the news agency that there had been a heavy security presence in the area ahead of the visit.
"I was in my garden with my family watching the helicopters arriving when we heard a loud explosion and then the school building was in flames," he said.
It was one of three helicopters ferrying a delegation of foreign diplomats for the inauguration of the chairlift project.
Construction was reportedly completed more than six months ago, but the inauguration was delayed due to Prime Minister Sharif's other commitments.
It is the second chairlift to be built in a Pakistani ski resort. The first, which is at Pakistan's oldest ski resort of Malam Jabba in the Swat valley, was destroyed by the Taliban.
Gilgit-Baltistan is famous for its natural beauty and the main city of Gilgit is seen as a gateway to the Karakoram and Himalayan mountain ranges.
It is also a strategically important autonomous region bordering China, Afghanistan and Indian-held Kashmir.
There have been a number of crashes involving the same model of military helicopter in Pakistan in recent years.

Two UN peacekeepers from Guinea and a civilian contractor were killed in the attack in Kidal, officials said.
Eight days ago, gunmen attacked a hotel in the capital, Bamako, taking scores hostage. Twenty-two people were killed.
The peacekeeping mission in Mali was approved in 2014 after France led a military campaign to drive out Islamist militants from the north.
The Minusma force comprises some 10,000 soldiers from dozens of different contributor countries - the majority from Mali's west African neighbours.
World's most dangerous peacekeeping mission
The UN mission - criticised by some at the time of its approval because there is no peace deal to support - has suffered more casualties than any other in recent years, with 56 troops killed.
Islamist militants are suspected of being behind Saturday's attack, in which 14 people were injured, several seriously, reports suggest.
"Our camp in Kidal was attacked early this morning by terrorists using rockets," said an official from the Minusma force.

There was a drop in shares in VW after it reported "irregularities" in carbon dioxide emissions levels, which could affect around 800,000 cars in Europe.

Mark Haslock, 47, from Llandudno, Conwy county, taught at Ysgol y Grango in Rhosllanerchrugog.
He was convicted of making and possessing indecent images of children, and taking an indecent image between June 2014 and August 2015 at an earlier hearing in Caernarfon.
He was jailed for eight months at Mold Crown Court on Wednesday.
The court heard Haslock was head of design and technology at Ysgol y Grango at the time of the offences.
He was arrested after police found more than 1,200 images on two computers seized at his home last August - of which more than 280 were of the most graphic category.
Judge Peter Heywood, speaking via a live link from Swansea Crown Court, said Haslock was a man of "good character" who gave up a career in engineering to become a teacher after studying at Bangor University.
But the judge said there was "a darker and different side to his character" which emerged during the trial.
Haslock claimed they were downloaded when he tried to get material for sex education courses and to help with his master's degree.
This was rejected by the jury but he was cleared of a charge of voyeurism.
Judge Heywood said: "You are still in denial about these matters and don't accept that you deliberately searched for such material.
"This is a significant fall from grace."
The court heard he had since lost his job and that he would no longer be able to teach.
Haslock was ordered to register with the police as a sex offender for the next 10 years.
He was also made the subject of a 10-year sexual harm prevention order to stop him from working with children or vulnerable adults in the future.
St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Worcester is charging for tickets due to "tightening budgets".
Head teacher Louise Bury said there had been "mixed feelings" in response to the charge, with some teachers suffering verbal abuse.
The money will be used to buy books and equipment, Mrs Bury said.
"Hardly breaking the bank" - parents react
The school, in Warndon, is charging for three performances by pupils in Key Stage One, Reception and nursery.
In a letter to parents, Mrs Bury said: "I know that for some of you, paying to see your child perform doesn't feel right.
"With ever tightening budgets and growing numbers, we saw this as an opportunity to be able to invest in some valuable reading and learning resources for Key Stage One and Early Years."
The resources would help improve children's reading progress, particularly learning at home, she said.
Mrs Bury voiced concerns about the reaction of parents to the move.
She said in the letter: "I have been extremely concerned about the conduct of some parents towards my staff which in some cases I can only describe as verbal abuse."
Mrs Bury added the "partnership" between the school and parents was very important and she would arrange to meet anyone to discuss any issues of concern.
Several people backed the school on the BBC Hereford and Worcester Facebook page.
Philip Bannister wrote: "Nothing wrong with it at all. Schools are struggling financially due to funding cuts and if this helps even just a little, it seems a sensible thing to do."
Michael Leighton wrote: "Can't believe parents moaning about paying a £1 then you see them queuing at the drive through at McDonald's."
Belfast-born Canadian businessman Hugh Morrow hopes to relaunch the dormant Ladies European Tour event (LET).
"The idea of bringing it back really jumped out," Morrow, 68, told Northern Ireland golf journalist Paul Kelly.
Morrow, who emigrated to Canada in 1957, has been meeting with possible stakeholders in recent months.
"Over the last eight to 10 months I have been searching around, visiting golf courses, meeting with politicians, talking to Tourism NI, Invest NI, Tourism Ireland and Belfast City Council to really establish a platform so we can bring this event back to life," added Morrow.
"We are getting very close. The fact that there is currently no NI government has thrown a bit of a wrench into things but we understand that come 2 March, a government will hopefully be reformed and we will begin to move forward again.
"We are trying to build a UK swing for the LET that involves the Irish, Scottish and the Ladies British Open all taking place within three weeks of each other. It would make it a unique stop on the LET."
Morrow's company has been the driving force behind the successful Canadian LPGA tournament, the Maulife Classic.
Northern Ireland course Portstewart staged the inaugural Irish Open in 1983 but the event hasn't been held since the 2012 tournament at Killeen Castle in county Meath.
Pictures on social media showed elderly patients on trollies outside the main building.
Police were called to the site at about 16:40 after an alarm was activated. The building was assessed as secure and the alert is believed to have been caused by a fault with the system.
NHS Lanarkshire said all patients were now back inside.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "Police officers attended and a search was carried out in conjunction with hospital security staff. The building was assessed as secure it was believed to be a system fault with the alarm.
"There was no impact on the health and safety of patients and normal hospital service resumed."
Calum Campbell, chief executive of NHS Lanarkshire, said: "At around 4.40pm, our alarm system at Wishaw General Hospital was triggered. Staff followed protocol, emergency services quickly attended and there was a partial evacuation of the building.
"Within the hour we had received confirmation that it was safe to re-enter the building and the hospital quickly returned to normal.
"We are investigating the cause of the alarm which is believed to be due to a fault with the system. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to patients and visitors and are pleased to report that there was no impact on the safety of patients as a result of this incident."
Bennett, who wrote The History Boys and The Madness of George III, spoke to BBC Four to mark his 80th birthday.
"My objection about people knowing more about one's private life was that I didn't want to be put in a pigeonhole," he told director Sir Nicholas Hytner.
"I didn't want to be labelled as gay and that was it."
He added: "I just wanted to be my own man, as it were."
Bennett is one of the UK's best-loved dramatists, and 2004's The History Boys was recently voted the nation's favourite play.
He has kept details of his personal life relatively private, although in recent years he has spoken about his civil partnership with Rupert Thomas, editor-in-chief of World of Interiors magazine.
He was also at the centre of a minor media storm in 1993 when it was revealed he was having a relationship with his housekeeper Anne Davis.
Once asked by actor Sir Ian McKellen at an Aids benefit whether he was heterosexual or homosexual, Bennett famously replied: "That's a bit like asking a man crawling across the Sahara whether he would prefer Perrier or Malvern water."
And while discussing his life on BBC Radio 4's Front Row in 2009, he explained: "If there was any sex going, you'd go for it, but it didn't really matter which side it was on. There'd been something of both in my life, but not enough of either."
The writer turns 80 on Friday and the BBC Four interview, conducted by Sir Nicholas, the outgoing National Theatre artistic director, will be broadcast the following day.
"Looking back on your life, the things you remember are the things that you didn't do," Bennett said. "A lot of that will be to do with sex, I suppose.
"It's in my nature to feel somehow that one has missed out. It's my view of my own life except that I've been very, very lucky. I met my partner quite late in life and so the last part of my life is much happier than the first part."
During the interview, Bennett also revealed that he prefers contemporary US literature to English writers.
"I'm very ill-read. I know that sounds overmodest but it's quite true," he said. "I like American literature more than I do contemporary English literature. I like Philip Roth, for instance.
"I don't feel any of the people writing in England can tell me very much. That may be unfair."
He also explained that it has become more difficult to write as he has got older.
"I find it harder and harder to write, but then I always have found it hard to write," he said. "I never really believe in writer's block - all writing is writer's block.
"People say, 'Oh you've done so much.' It doesn't seem to me I've done so much. The stuff you've written isn't like upholstery - it's not something you can settle back in and think, 'I've done so many plays,' and so on.
"It's not a comfort - it's a rebuke as much as anything else. You think, 'Well, I can't do it now.' And writing is about now.
"It's about what you're doing this morning - what you're sitting at the table, staring out of the window trying to do. That's still the situation, whatever age I am."
The writer's work is also being celebrated with a season at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in his home city of Leeds, beginning at the end of May.
School dinner lady Keli Morgan, 44, and husband Joe Morgan, 41, died following the blaze at Bridge Farm Drive, Maghull, at 11:00 GMT on Saturday.
Firefighters had already searched next door after the occupants reported smoke but the source was not found.
It was only after being called back that Mr and Mrs Morgan were discovered.
A Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service interim incident report said crews undertook a 25-minute investigation looking for the source of smoke, which involved lifting floorboards at the adjoining property to the Morgans' home.
It states: "During the investigation there was no sign of smoke or any indication of a fire, so firefighters left the scene after isolating the electricity to a light fitting."
Shortly after, the Morgans' neighbours made another call, this time reporting smoke in their bathroom.
Returning crews found that smoke was filling the loft space and coming from inside the Morgans' home.
They went in wearing breathing apparatus and tackled the blaze.
During a search of the house, firefighters discovered Mr Morgan downstairs and Mrs Morgan in an upstairs bedroom.
Both were unconscious and not breathing.
They were taken to University Hospital Aintree. Both were pronounced dead.
The report has indicated that a chip pan left unattended on a gas ring in the kitchen was the cause of the fire.
A smoke alarm was fitted at the property, but was not working.
There is an ongoing investigation into the blaze.
Prices were 3.7% higher than a year earlier, the building society said, down from 3.9% in October.
House prices rose by 0.1% in November from the previous month, and the average property now costs £196,305.
Nationwide said the annual rate of house price growth for the past few months had been broadly in line with earnings growth over the longer term.
"While this bodes well for a sustainable increase in housing market activity in the period ahead, much will depend on whether building activity can keep pace with increasing demand," said Nationwide chief economist Robert Gardner.
House price figures from the Land Registry show that values have risen in all regions of England and Wales in the 12 months to the end of October, but at very different speeds.
The sharpest rise was in London, where the annual price increase was 10.6%.
This pushed the value of the average home in London above £500,000 for the first time.
The slowest rise was in Yorkshire and the Humber, where prices rose by 1.4% over the year.
The most expensive sale in October was in Belgravia, London, at £21.5m. The cheapest was in Middlesbrough at £10,000.
The Nationwide noted that there were a number of measures announced in Chancellor George Osborne's Autumn Statement to encourage building, but construction was well below the rate at which new households were formed and needed homes.
"It is positive that policymakers are focusing on the need to increase home building," Mr Gardner said.
Among the policies announced by the chancellor was a stamp duty surcharge on buy-to-let and second home purchases from April 2016.
Ray Boulger, of mortgage broker John Charcol, said the imbalance in the market between buyers and sellers would be greatly accentuated over the next few months, as anyone already thinking of buying a second home or a buy-to-let property would start looking more keenly.
"As buy-to-let represents over 15% of total housing purchases the tax changes are large enough to distort prices in an inelastic market," he said.
Howard Archer, UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said he expected house prices overall to increase over the coming months, with a rise of about 6%-7% during 2016.
Various surveys record UK house prices on a monthly basis, but they all have slightly different methodology.
The house price index by the Nationwide is the quickest to be released. It uses an average value for properties after considering components such as location and size. The survey is based on its own mortgage lending, which represents about 13% of the market.
The Land Registry calculates the price change for properties that have sold multiple times since 1995. This survey only covers England and Wales.
He said the resolution would threaten "extremely serious" consequences if Syria breached its conditions.
The move follows Russia's announcement of a plan to put the chemical weapons under international control.
Syria has said it accepts the Russian proposal, though details are sketchy.
"We held a very fruitful round of talks with [Russian] Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov yesterday [Monday], and he proposed an initiative relating to chemical weapons. And in the evening, we agreed to the Russian initiative," Russian news agency Interfax quoted Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, who is in Moscow, as saying.
This would "remove the grounds for American aggression", he said.

Earlier, Mr Fabius, who was speaking at a news conference in Paris, said the resolution, based around five points, would demand that Syria "bring fully to light" its chemical weapons programme.
The measure would also set up international inspections and controls of the dismantling process.
The resolution would be tabled under Chapter 7 of the UN charter covering possible military and non-military action to restore peace, Mr Fabius added.
The plan had been discussed before, he said, but had probably been advanced by the pressure applied in recent weeks.
The Russians have blocked all previous French-led efforts at the Security Council, says the BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris.
Both France and the United States are wary of an Iraq-style game of cat and mouse - but they are prepared to give the Moscow-backed plan a chance, our correspondent adds.
What the French are keen to avoid, Mr Fabius said, is a plan that is only there as a delaying tactic, which is why all options, including the threat of a strike, will remain on the table, our correspondent says.
On Tuesday, the Arab League signalled its support for the Russian initiative.
Its head, Nabil al-Arabi, said the League had always backed a political solution.
There have been few details so far of Russia's plan, but Mr Lavrov said in Moscow that it was "preparing a concrete proposal which will be presented to all interested sides, including the US... a workable, specific, concrete plan".

Press review: 'A way out for Obama'
Western military options
Mr Muallem said: "We are convinced that the position of those striving for peace is much stronger than that of those trying to fuel war."
Mr Lavrov said he had spoken to US Secretary of State John Kerry on the telephone about the plan on Monday.
Mr Lavrov said the Russian initiative was "not a purely Russian initiative... It grew out of contacts we've had with the Americans".
Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Barack Obama discussed the idea on the sidelines of a G20 summit last week, Mr Putin's spokesman said on Tuesday.
Mr Lavrov noted Mr Obama's suggestion in a US TV interview that this may be a "breakthrough".
Overnight, Mr Obama said the Russian proposal could be a breakthrough. He is to hold working lunches with senior senators on Tuesday and his prime time television address is still scheduled to go ahead in the evening.
The White House said Mr Obama still planned to use the address to argue that Congress should authorise the use of force if required.
5-6 Sept Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama discuss idea of placing Syria's chemical weapons under international control on sidelines of G20 summit, Putin spokesman says
Monday 9 Sept
07:30 GMT At press conference with Russia's Sergei Lavrov, Syria's Walid Muallem hints at chemical weapons plan
09:12 In UK, John Kerry says Mr Assad could avert an attack if he "turn[s] over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community"
14:00 In second press conference, Mr Lavrov says he has urged Mr Muallem to "not only agree on placing chemical weapons storage sites under international control, but also on their subsequent destruction". Mr Muallem welcomes proposal, and it is prominently reported on Syrian state TV, suggesting Damascus is behind plan. Mr Obama says a military strike is "absolutely" on pause if Syria yields control of its chemical weapons
Syria chemical attacks: What we know
Syria's chemical weapons stockpile
Spokesman Jay Carney said there were ample reasons to be sceptical about how serious Syria was on implementing the Russian plan.
"Before this morning, the Syrian government had never even acknowledged they possessed chemical weapons. Now they have,'' Mr Carney said in an interview on MSNBC.
The US Senate had been expected to vote this week on a resolution authorising military force, but the Russian plan has led to a postponement.
Republican Senator John McCain, who has been an advocate of military action, said on Tuesday that a bipartisan group of senators was now working on a new resolution that would set Syria a specific period of time to turn over its chemical weapons.
Senator McCain told CBS he was "extremely sceptical" about the Russian proposal but that "to not pursue this option would be a mistake".
Opinion polls suggest that a majority of voters are opposed to Mr Obama's calls for intervention in Syria.
According to a survey by the Associated Press news agency, 61% of Americans want Congress to vote against authorisation for military strikes.
The US claims that Mr Assad's forces carried out a chemical attack in Damascus on 21 August, killing 1,429 people.
Mr Assad's government blames the attack on rebels fighting to overthrow him, in a conflict that the UN says has claimed some 100,000 lives.

Clarence Moore, 66, called police this week to surrender, after struggling to get medical care without a legitimate identity or social security number.
Moore was convicted of robbery in North Carolina in 1967 and made several escape attempts before disappearing in 1976 and starting life on the run.
He was in tears when he was finally arrested, police said.
"As soon as he saw us, he started crying," Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton said. "He said, 'I just want to get this behind me. I want to be done.'"
Moore has lived in Kentucky since at least 2009, and his poor health can be attributed to a stroke which has made it difficult for him to speak.
A woman who lived with Moore was unaware of his background.
"She was just blown away when all this happened," the sheriff said.
Moore was taken from his home in an ambulance on Monday. He was evaluated at a local hospital and then taken to prison.
When he arrived at the prison on Monday, Moore thanked the sheriff for his kindness.
The 37-year-old replaces Rory McIlroy as number one after dropping to a career-low 58th in November 2011.
"The fox is back in the hen house as far as I'm concerned. He struts about and even when he's not firing on all cylinders they crumble and fall away. He does seem to have an amazing effect on them and it'll be interesting to see what happens in the rest of the season."
The American's win at Bay Hill was his 77th PGA title and his third of 2013.
Woods resumed three shots clear after storms halted Sunday's play and shot 70 to hold off England's Justin Rose, who climbed to third in the world rankings.
"I'm very pleased with the way I'm playing," said Woods, who became number one for the 11th time following his eighth professional win at Bay Hill..
"It was a by-product of hard work, patience and getting back to playing golf tournaments.
"I've turned some of the weaknesses that I had last year into strengths. I'm really excited about the rest of this year."
Woods has now claimed six titles from his last 20 starts on the PGA Tour. After wins at Doral and Torrey Pines this year, he is now clear favourite to capture his fifth Masters title when the season's opening major begins at Augusta on 11 April.
Woods, who clinched the last of his 14 majors in 2008, first became world number one in June 1997 following his maiden major victory at the Masters, aged 21.
He went on to dominate golf in the 2000s, topping the rankings for 264 weeks from August 1999 to September 2004 and 281 weeks from June 2005 to October 2010.
But a five-month lay-off in late 2009 after an infamous scandal in his private life, a string of injuries, including four knee operations and an Achilles problem, and problems getting to grips with a new swing all contributed to his fall down the rankings.
October 2010: Drops to second behind Lee Westwood in world rankings after a combined 623 weeks at the top
November 2011: Falls to a career-low of 58th in rankings
March 2012: Returns to top 10 with victory at Bay Hill
June 2012: Back in top five after winning Memorial Tournament
March 2013: Back at number one for the 11th time, replacing Rory McIlroy
Woods had played two holes of his final round at Bay Hill when a torrential storm ended proceedings in Florida on Sunday.
But the ferocious storm that felled several trees at the exclusive Orlando course was replaced by sunshine and only a moderate breeze on Monday.
American Rickie Fowler moved to within two shots of Woods with four holes remaining but dropped four strokes in the next two holes, including a triple-bogey eight at the 16th, when he put two shots into the water.
Woods, who leaked several tee shots to the right, was in the large fairway bunker at the 16th, from where he found the water on Friday, but struck a majestic escape into the heart of the green and calmly two-putted for a birdie.
Rose, who was at the top of the leaderboard in the first two rounds before dropping back with a 72 on Saturday, resumed four shots adrift with 16 holes of his final round remaining.
He dropped a shot at his first hole of the day and at the third, but recorded four birdies, ensuring sole possession of second with an assured up-and-down from the greenside bunker at the par-three 17th.
Northern Ireland's McIlroy did not play at Bay Hill but can regain top spot by winning this week's Houston Open, which Woods is not playing in.
Despite owning two platinum discs (both for his self-titled debut album), he insists he "can't really get excited" about awards and chart positions.
"Anyone can get a number one now," he says, dismissively. "You only have to sell, like, 20,000 albums or something.
"If you speak to another band and you say, 'Oh, I had a number one album,' they'll be like, 'yeah, so did we, and John had one last week as well.' It's not really an achievement any more."
"You know, The charts are the charts. I can't really get excited about anything I see in them."
Nonetheless, the Nottingham-born star has described his third album - out this week - as a "make or break" release.
"This is a pretty brutal industry," he explains. "If your record sales aren't great, you might not get the chance to make another one."
Fittingly, the album's title track, On My One, imagines what would happen if he lost it all. "Three years on the road, 400 shows," he sings, "Where do I call home? No place to go."
It's a simple blues lament - just two chords and Bugg's voice - that cleaves to the singer's tried and tested template. But the rest of the album is much more adventurous.
First single Gimme The Love marries a buzzing bassline to a shuffling Stone Roses drumbeat, while the string-drenched ballad Love, Hope and Misery sounds like a slightly more nasal version of Paolo Nutini.
Both NME and Q Magazine have described the record a "re-invention" but Bugg would rather it was called "a continuation".
"I'm just doing my thing, man."
Work on the album began in Malibu last year, but the initial sessions were scrapped in favour of Bugg's home demos.
"Weirdly enough, the label preferred my recordings to [the producer] I'd been recording with," he says.
So he went back home and worked on the album in his front room, where the lack of highfalutin studio gadgetry proved to be a source of inspiration.
"In Nottingham there was a Telecaster knocking around and it only had five strings on it. That's what I did Gimme The Love on. It's cool, things like that, because you're very limited in what you can do and that helps. When you've got a blank canvas, it can be a bit overwhelming and you can't really come up with any ideas."
In fact, for the first time, the singer wrote the entire album by himself - laying to rest the claim of inauthenticity that has bugged him (no pun) since it emerged he shared credits with the likes of Iain Archer (Snow Patrol) and Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs) on his first two albums.
He now likens those co-writing sessions to an apprenticeship - "free education" for a musician who taught himself guitar on YouTube.
His playing is noticeably improved on the new record, something he attributes to taking a year off.
"When you're playing the same songs every night, sometimes the last thing you want to do in the day is play your instrument. So the time off helped. I had a chance to mess around with different styles and just practise."
He shows off a supple ability on the R&B-influenced Never Wanna Dance, and breaks out a killer guitar solo on the relationship drama Bitter Salt.
The latter track is one of a handful of songs co-produced by Garret "Jacknife" Lee (U2, REM, Taylor Swift), who turned the low-key original into a rollicking blues stomp.
"I'd written it as a folk song. Then I recorded it with Jacknife and the next day I came in and it sounded like that!" says Bugg.
"That can be tough. I don't want anyone messing around with my songs. But what I liked about Jacknife is [that] it was still exactly the same song, it was just in a completely different genre. It's got a Jefferson Airplane vibe about it, which I thought was pretty cool."
Bugg was only 17 when he first came to fame and he quickly earned a reputation for being surly and uncooperative in interviews. In his first encounter with BBC News in 2012, he frequently sounded like a teenager being asked about their homework (which, essentially, he was).
"If you look back at some of my old interviews, I'm much more shy and reserved," he admits. These days, he's more confident, with a line in acerbic humour - but his skirmishes with the press have made him cynical.
"Sometimes in interviews, you can come across as the guy that's not so nice, or not very pleasant. But a lot of the time it's the person on the other side that made you feel that way. You know, they've pissed you off in some way and then it reflects. I don't know if they do it on purpose..."
He grimaces as he talks about being told to "put on a smile" for television appearances.
"Especially in America, you've got to be so enthusiastic or else there's no point in doing it. Or so they tell me. And that can be hard, when you're not feeling like smiling, to put one on. That's just not me.
"I just feel," he concludes, "like the time spent doing a lot of interviews could be used making more music. Then the people doing the interviews can have something to write about. But that's just my take on it."
He makes it clear this is not one of those interviews... but our time is running out, nonetheless.
So, if the charts are no longer a reliable indicator of success, how will Bugg decide whether his new album has been a hit or a miss?
"I guess, for me, it's when you go and play the shows and the festivals and see what kind of crowd you draw. I think that reflects more than the record sales.
"And Gimme The Love's on Match Of The Day quite a bit, so I'm happy with that. I'll take that."

The 70-year-old was appointed on Tuesday, with Blues 20th and three points above the relegation zone.
Their final three matches are trips to Aston Villa and Bristol City plus a home match against play-off hopefuls Huddersfield Town.
"We need a win and a point," Redknapp told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Gary [Rowett, former manager] did well when he was here with the same sort of group. He got the best out of them.
"Four points would do it. Easier said than done, but we will give it our best."
Redknapp, appointed 16 hours after Gianfranco Zola resigned on Monday, has secured four points from his first three games in charge three times in his career.
Should Blackburn and Nottingham Forest both win on Saturday, Birmingham would slip into the bottom three before Redknapp's first match in charge, which is a trip to local rivals Villa on Sunday.
Blues, who were seventh in December when Rowett was sacked, went on to win just two of their 24 matches during Zola's four-month tenure.
Redknapp has not held a permanent managerial position since leaving Queens Park Rangers in 2015, but has had stints as interim manager at Jordan and adviser to Derby County last season.
"The players have put in the club in the position they're in - you can blame who you like, they've obviously not performed," said the ex-Portsmouth, West Ham and Tottenham boss.
"They've got to take responsibility. They're the only ones who can get us out of it. You can only do so much from the touchline."
Redknapp, who will be assisted by former Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill, has only been appointed until the end of the season.
"If I can keep them up, next year would be something I'd really fancy," he added.
First team coaches Pierluigi Casiraghi and Gabriele Cioffi, fitness coach Andrea Caronti and video analyst Sebastiano Porcu, all part of Zola's backroom team, have followed the Italian out of St Andrew's while goalkeeper coach Kevin Hitchcock will retain his role at the club.
Five people - including a young child and the driver of the Porsche - are in critical condition after the incident at the Paqpaqli event.
Footage showed the car spinning out of control at high speed on the airport taxiway used for the event.
There were scenes of panic, with some in the crowd shouting: "Oh, my God!" and "Ambulance!"
"The car was speeding down the taxiway when a back wheel went on the grass. The car spun out of control, went through the barriers where a large crowd was watching, and into the area of the static car exhibition," an eyewitness told the Times of Malta.
Some of the wounded were taken to hospital by helicopters.
Event organisers said the incident would be investigated and the rest of the show was cancelled.
They have only lost once in 12 games in any form of cricket in 2017.
As well as reaching the One-Day Cup semi-finals, four straight Championship wins adds up to their best start since the title-winning year of 1964.
"Twelve months ago we were playing pretty similar cricket and hadn't won a game," 26-year-old Leach said.
"This time, we've managed to kill teams off when we've put ourselves in a position to win. Four from four shows that."
Director of cricket Steve Rhodes made the big decision last September to change his captain, replacing Daryl Mitchell with Leach.
"We're trying to enjoy our successes. Equally we're making sure we keep putting in the hard yards to win games," Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester.
"Apart from one bad day at Old Trafford, it has been an amazing effort.
"The bowlers are sharing the wickets around, the batsmen are dovetailing and sharing the runs and we've been excellent in the field."
Going back to the final two County Championship games of last season under Mitchell's captaincy, Worcestershire have won six on the trot - the county's best run since seven straight Championship victories in July and August 1961.
That six-game winning run started last September at Hove when, inspired by the new arrival of West Indian fast bowler Miguel Cummins, who took 12 wickets in the match, Worcestershire beat Sussex by 11 runs.
Now they must go to Hove again on Friday for another meeting with a Sussex side who have already this season used five foreign-born players in Championship Division Two, Jofra Archer (Barbados) and Steve Magoffin (Australia), as well as their three South Africans, Stiaan Van Zyl, Vernon Philander and David Wiese.
"They're an interesting side with quite an international flavour to them as they're got quite a few overseas players," said Rhodes, who has never been an advocate of signing Kolpak players.
"We're a small club and we like to play our young academy players. We don't venture off too much with the non-English players."
Worcestershire have used just one overseas player in Championship matches this season, all-rounder John Hastings.
He played in the first two games before being replaced by fellow Australian Nathan Lyon after Hastings was called up for the Champions Trophy.
In only his second first-class appearances in two months, since Australia lost their series 2-1 to India in March, Lyon bowled 29 overs in the second innings at Northampton to take 3-94 - and Rhodes hopes the 29-year-old spinner has bowled himself into some form.
"It was really important to get overs under his belt and blow any cobwebs away," said Rhodes.
"Young Josh Tongue also showed he's got some good pace at Northampton and the way our batsmen are sharing the runs around, it wouldn't surprise me if Tom Fell now gets a good score down at Hove.
"We're going to find it quite tough. In their own backyard, they're not a side that will roll over. We've got to get into a winning position and try to ram it home."
BBC Hereford & Worcester's Dave Bradley
"Worcestershire have had an amazing start, having won their first four County Championship matches of the season for the first time since 1964, when they went on to win the first of their five county titles.
"They also lost only once in eight qualifying games in the One-Day Cup to top the North Group, bypass the quarter-finals and earn a semi-final at New Road for the first time in 13 years.
"All this has been done with basically a home-grown squad. Worcestershire's success is down to hard work and a great team spirit. 10 of the County Championship team have come through the Academy and Second XI structure - and are English.
"Some of these lads have been playing together for a few seasons now. Steve Rhodes and the coaching team at the club have worked hard to develop what they called 'the Worcester way'.
"They have also been very selective about the character of the overseas players they have bought in, Australians John Hastings and Nathan Lyon this season being great examples."

Monroe successfully sued Hopkins over two tweets published in 2015, asking if Monroe had "scrawled on any [war] memorials recently".
This had suggested Monroe had either vandalised a war memorial or "condoned or approved" of it, the blogger said.
Hopkins told the BBC: "No comment."
Monroe told the programme Hopkins's tweets had left the blogger "absolutely horrified".
"My brother is an officer in RAF, my dad was a paratrooper in the Falklands," Monroe said.
"As part of the evidence [from the trial], I've got six A4 ring-binders of tweets I received - somebody telling me I should be shot in the head, put in a wheelchair - all sorts of abuse.
"It wasn't just in the aftermath in May [2015].
"It was ongoing, every time it came up.
"The stress was so awful, I ended up leaving my partner.
"My relationship broke down, I was about to get married. I fell apart as a person.
"Online abuse permeates into every aspect of everyday life.
"It was a life-changing series of events.
"I had a complete breakdown."
Monroe said that having won £24,000 damages, plus legal costs, in a libel action earlier this month, "I've got space to breathe and do my actual work".
"It's been almost two years of weekly legal meetings," Monroe said. "So it's a huge weight lifted.
"I hope it teaches people to be a bit nicer to each other."
The case arose after some Twitter users highlighted an anti-Conservative profanity daubed on a memorial to the women of World War Two during an anti-austerity demonstration.
In May 2015, Hopkins tweeted: "@MsJackMonroe scrawled on any memorials recently? Vandalised the memory of those who fought for your freedom. Grandma got any more medals?"
The judge presiding over the case, Mr Justice Warby, ruled that the tweet "meant that Ms Monroe condoned and approved of scrawling on war memorials, vandalising monuments commemorating those who fought for her freedom".
He found that a second tweet from Hopkins "meant that Ms Monroe condoned and approved of the fact that in the course of an anti-government protest there had been vandalisation by obscene graffiti of the women's war memorial in Whitehall, a monument to those who fought for her freedom".
The judge added: "These are meanings with a defamatory tendency, which were published to thousands."
Monroe said Hopkins had initially been asked to delete her tweet, but "she didn't respond to me being nice".
"She blocked me immediately instead of responding," Monroe said.
"So then I said, 'Make a donation and it goes away.'
"And she didn't respond to that. In the months that followed, I made several offers to her to make an apology [without receiving one]."
Monroe added: "I've got a lot of compassion for her actually.
"It can't be nice for the whole world to be waiting for your downfall.
"I said to my followers on Friday, 'Don't be abusive, don't be unkind to her.' It doesn't make anyone feel good.
"I don't support her in what she does, but no-one will get anywhere by name-calling."

The Swans are bottom of the Premier League after their 5-0 thrashing by Tottenham Hotspur and have won only once under the American.
Legg believes the club should have appointed a manager with Premier League experience when Bradley took over from Francesco Guidolin in October.
"Personally I thought it was a bad decision by the board," said Legg.
"I thought they needed someone who knew the Premier League, knew what sort of players to bring in and Bob didn't.
"That's not his fault - he was given the job and any manager in the world would take a Premier League job.

"There's two ways they can go. They either stick with the manager and accept they've got a lot of work to do or they make the change because otherwise I can only see one way for Swansea."
Bradley is the first Premier League manager from the United States, and took over from Guidolin on 3 October.
The former United States national team manager was in charge at French second division club Le Havre before accepting the job at Liberty Stadium.
Bradley was the first manager appointed following the take over of the club by an American consortium headed by Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan.
Swansea's 5-4 home win against Crystal Palace on 26 November was only their second in the Premier League this season and they face Sunderland - who are two points ahead of them - at home on 10 December.
Former Wales international Legg believes Swansea are "too easy" to beat and pinpoints the sale of Ivory Coast international striker Wilfried Bony to Manchester City in January 2015 as the point when Swansea's troubles began.
"I've seen it coming from probably when they sold Bony," he said.
"They never replaced him and obviously [Wales captain] Ashley Williams has gone now they haven't replaced him either.
"It's okay selling your good players, but you've got to replace them and you've got to replace them with quality.
"Even if the 11 players on the pitch look organised and in formation it can be difficult to beat. But they are not difficult to beat, they're quite easy to beat."
Swansea won the opening game of the season, but did not win again until they beat Crystal Palace and Legg believes even that victory carried a warning.
"The Palace game, everyone got carried away. They won three points, but they conceded four goals at home and if they don't bridge those gaps in the defence they are going to concede every week," he added.
"And that means they've got to score three, four, five to win and that's not going to happen so it's concerning."
Set in a futuristic theme park, it finds the star seduced by the delights and distractions of modern life. Then slowly, like Katharine Ross in The Stepford Wives, she begins to realise something is terribly wrong with the (American) dream.
Adhering to Katy's new mantra of "purposeful pop", it's political without being polemic. Here are some of the key moments from the video, which you can watch in full on YouTube.
The futuristic theme park (actually Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California) is a metaphor for the infinite distractions of modern society - but in case that was too subtle, it has been renamed "Oblivia".
The guests are dressed in vibrant 1950s clothes, an era of great optimism for America. As they enter the park, they're all taking selfies, eating giant sticks of candy floss (in the shape of mushroom clouds?) and crowding round an advert for "the greatest ride in the universe".
Everywhere you look, there are signs, icons and statues of a hamster. This will be important later.
The song's lyrics depict a world of repetition and ignorance, where technology renders us oblivious to people's real problems.
"Are we crazy? / Living our lives through a lens / Trapped in our white picket fence / Like ornaments / So comfortable, we're living in a bubble, bubble / So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble".
At first, Katy is awestruck, just like the other guests. But when she pricks her finger on a rose, there's a hint of trouble in paradise.
Kudos to Katy, who manages to lip-sync her single perfectly while experiencing a G-force of 4.9 on a roller coaster.
Fact fans: The ride she's on is Full Throttle, which features the world's second largest vertical loop.
(We previously thought it was The New Revolution, a coaster that featured in the final scenes of cult comedy National Lampoon's Vacation, so thanks to the readers who spotted the mistake.)
As Katy loops the loop, we see another ride, which hoists tiny suburban houses towards the sky.
Suddenly, it malfunctions, and the houses plummet to the ground. A metaphor, perhaps, for the US housing crisis, where reckless lending left thousands of people homeless.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people are joyfully queuing for that hamster ride...
The "greatest ride in the universe" turns out to be a treadmill. The guests aren't there to have fun - they're assets. Cogs in the machine. Literally hamsters on a wheel.
#SATIRE
This image, coincidentally, makes sense of Chained to the Rhythm's lyric video, which saw Katy Perry cooking her pet hamster a hamburger. (We're applying a deliberately loose interpretation of the phrase "makes sense of" here.)
The next scene takes place at a petrol station, where Katy is whisked off her feet by men in sailor costumes. (She might be making a serious political point but, hey, this is still a Katy Perry video.)
The pumps are supplying "inferno water" - a reference to the West's dependency on oil, but also to the looming crisis over the world's water supply, which some experts believe could lead to a war in Asia.
As she sits down to watch a 3D movie, Katy notices a disturbing homogeneity amongst her fellow park guests who are, by now moving entirely in unison.
Her feelings are amplified by Skip Marley's guest verse - already the song's most stringently political moment - as he raps: "Break down the walls to connect, inspire / Up in your high place, liars / Time is ticking for the empire / And we're about to riot / they woke up, they woke up the lions."
As Skip reaches out to her, Katy's conversion is complete.
She sings a panic-stricken final chorus, the lyric "stumbling around like a wasted zombie" writ large, with Katy trapped in the middle of a mindless dance routine.
In the closing scene, she turns to make eye contact with the camera, tacitly issuing a challenge to us, the viewer.
Are we comfortable with unquestioning conformity? Or will we join her big pop revolution?
Also, could we please buy a copy of her new album, title TBC?
All told, the video is quite a turn-around for the artist who began her career with a morally questionable song called U R So Gay. But fans knew this was coming.
Katy was one of Hillary Clinton's highest-profile supporters last year and delayed her fourth album in the wake of Donald Trump's US election victory, saying she wanted to address the political upheaval in her music.
"It's funny, sometimes people who disagree with me just say, 'Shut up and sing,'" she wrote. "Boy, will I do so in a whole new way.
"Hell hath no fury like a woman REBORN."
At last week's Grammys, she performed the first verse trapped behind a picket fence, before bursting forward in a white pant suit (Hillary must have been so proud) and joining hands with Skip Marley in front of a projection of the US constitution.
And while her message might be politically naive, it's commendable to see such a mainstream star prompting listeners to be more contemplative and engaged.
As a pop artist, it could cost her sales - but at least she's putting her money where her mouth is.
Katy Perry will be the special guest on Nick Grimshaw's BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show on Wednesday 22 February.

He lives with a brother and sister in a poor part of the city, the dwelling doubling as a workshop. Making clothes continues long into the night, as the family try to supplement the money that Hai makes working in a large factory for textile company Cartina during the day.
"In general the salary and working conditions here are ok," he says. "No problem. My salary is enough to get by."
Hai has been working in this industry for ten years, starting as a delivery boy at 16, and then moving to bigger manufacturing businesses and onto the factory floor to make the clothes that often sell in the department stores and smart shops of Europe, Japan and the USA.
On a normal day, Hai works a ten-hour shift, starting at seven in the morning and finishing at five in the afternoon. He usually works extra time if he can. There are from two to four hours on top of his normal shift.
Hai lives in a small house built on what used to be a cemetery, with his young sister, her husband and his youngest brother who has just moved to the city for another manufacturing job.
At home, they all work on private garment manufacturing orders to earn extra income to send back to their parents and a younger sister, who has polio.
His immediate wish is for his sister to stay healthy. In the future, he simply wishes to build a family of his own in the city.
"I wish that I had a life with family and all that," he says. "Working as a textile worker like this forever is very tiring."
Lukas Rosol didn't make any errors. It was a freak performance. It didn't matter who was at the other end. Nadal was doing all he could to stay in the rallies and make life difficult but Rosol was too good.
He was better than Nadal on the day. It wasn't as if Rafa lost the match. Rosol came out and hit winner after winner. He thoroughly deserved it.
This highlights how vulnerable everyone can be. If it can happen to Nadal it can happen to anyone.
Every opportunity, every first serve, every forehand and every backhand, Rosol was hitting it as hard as he can.
With his technique, he hits the ball very flat and it goes through the court quickly but your margin for error is so much smaller.
It was almost like he didn't give himself too much time to think about the consequences. He was just so consumed by the process of hitting it as hard as he could.
He served it out like a seasoned campaigner. At the end Rosol was just in shock. He was as surprised as anyone at how he was able to sustain that level.
It's just amazing that we don't know more about him, that he could come in and play this kind of tennis.
That was only his 19th win on tour, which makes it even more incredible. It doesn't make sense but it emphasises the depth in the men's game.
The interesting thing now is what happens in the next round. Rosol plays Philipp Kohlschreiber next. Kohlschreiber beat Nadal in the Gerry Weber Open in Halle last month, and he's a seasoned campaigner and a good player.
Is Rosol going to wake up tomorrow and come in to practise and wonder what just happened?
In today's match he had nothing to lose. In the next round he has, because he's beaten the world number two and he's got an opportunity in the draw. It's going to be interesting to see whether he can back this up.
The only way this match has consequences for Andy Murray is if he gets through to the semis. He's only into the third round. He's got to play Marcos Baghdatis, who's a Grand Slam finalist and a dangerous player himself.
He's got to concentrate on his matches and on the things he can control - his preparation and performance. Then if he gets through to the semis, he knows he won't be playing Nadal. That is a big advantage.
Tim Henman was speaking on BBC Two's Today at Wimbledon and to BBC Sport's David Ornstein.
Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the report was not "objective" and she accused Britain of harbouring "terrorists".
The Foreign Office (FCO) report noted a "crackdown on civil society" and said Russia's actions in Ukraine had led to "severe deterioration" in human rights.
After Russia's comments, the FCO said human rights needed to be protected.
The report, published last week, said rule of law in Russia "remained inconsistent and arbitrarily applied" and raised concerns about increasing numbers of organisations officially labelled "foreign agents" or "undesirable".
It said the human rights situation in Russia got worse in 2015 and was "unlikely" to improve this year.
State-controlled media "overwhelmingly emphasised a pro-government narrative" and a number of independent journalists reported that they had experienced harassment, it said.
"Although space for independent media continued to exist, most notably online, a small number of individuals faced criminal prosecution for posting critical comments," the report added.
It noted a "severe deterioration" in human rights in eastern Ukraine and Crimea due to Russia's actions in Ukraine.
It said the UN had reported "killings, torture and other ill-treatment, illegal detention, and forced labour during 2015" in areas controlled by Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Ms Zakharova accused the Foreign Office of calling for "interference" in Russia's internal affairs.
She also said Britain was harbouring "terrorists and those funding their activities" and said the country had failed to prosecute soldiers who committed crimes during the invasion of Iraq.
"This report is, of course, an example of colossal hypocrisy," she said.
She added: "To claim the role of a teacher, you have to have, if not an impeccable, then at least a more or less decent reputation. And London's reputation, to be honest and fair, is badly tarnished."
Responding to the criticism, the FCO said promoting human rights was a "core" part of its work.
A spokeswoman said there was "serious concern about the deteriorating human rights environment" in Russia.
"As long as these concerns exist, we will continue to call on Russia to fulfil their international commitments to promote and protect human rights," she added.
Protesters wearing Guy Fawkes masks joined the anti-capitalist demonstrations from Trafalgar Square to Parliament on Saturday evening.
Strict conditions were imposed by the Met Police on this year's march following disorder at the 2015 event.
Police said the arrests were for drugs, offensive weapons, criminal damage, public order and obstruction offences.
The protest is one of several similar marches held worldwide on 5 November to demonstrate against capitalism.
Organised by the hacking group Anonymous, the demonstration took place along the route during a three-hour window between 18:00 and 21:00.
Some protesters climbed the base of Nelson's column and chanted the slogan "one solution, revolution" while others ignited fireworks and flares in front of Westminster Abbey.
There was a large police presence outside the Houses of Parliament and demonstrators were told to stay within the agreed boundaries as the march moved forward.
There were "pockets of disorder" and a number of fireworks were thrown, although the Met said most participants in the march were peaceful and there had been no "need for containment".
Commander Ben-Julian Harrington, the Met officer in charge of policing protests in London, said: "I would like to commend my officers policing this challenging event for their professionalism and faultless co-ordination.
"I would also like to thank those participants who conducted themselves in a peaceful manner as well as Londoners and those visiting our city for their patience and tolerance."
Last year's protest resulted in 50 arrests as four police officers and six horses were injured in clashes with demonstrators.
Producer Steven Moffat announced the actress will replace Karen Gillan's character Amy Pond when she leaves the show in the next series.
Coleman, 25, has also appeared in Waterloo Road and Julian Fellowes' four part mini-series Titanic.
The star said: "I am beyond excited. I can't wait to get cracking."
Coleman, who will make her first appearance as the Doctor's sidekick in the Christmas special, added that she is a "huge fan" of the show.
The actress, who is from Blackpool, revealed she auditioned alongside Matt Smith, who plays the 11th Doctor.
"It was fun and I felt like we were in it together."
Smith is set to return as the Time Lord in the new series of Doctor Who, which starts later this year.
"It always seems impossible when you start casting these parts, but when we saw Matt and Jenna together, we knew we had our girl. She's funny and clever and exactly mad enough to step on board the Tardis," Moffat said.
"It's not often the Doctor meets someone who can talk even faster than he does, but it's about to happen. Jenna is going to lead him his merriest dance yet. And that's all you're getting for now.
"Who she's playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor's standards, this isn't your usual boy meets girl."
The BBC said the Doctor will meet Coleman's character in a "dramatic turn of events as the show builds towards its enormous, climactic 50th anniversary year".
Filming for the seventh series of the sci-fi drama started last month in Wales.
The new series will contain 14 episodes, featuring "new monsters and some familiar foes", split across two years.
In December, Gillian announced she would be leaving the popular programme, saying it had been a mutual decision between herself and producers.
"We both opened up about where we were at with it and then came to the conclusion that this was the best time to go," she said.
Amy Smith, 17, and her six-month-old daughter Ruby-Grace Gaunt died, along with Ed Green, also 17, in Langley Mill, Derbyshire, on Sunday.
Peter Eyre, 43, Anthony Eyre, 21, both of Sandiacre, and Simon Eyre, 24, from Long Eaton, are due before magistrates in Chesterfield on Friday.
A 17-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on bail.
The three victims all died from the effects of smoke inhalation, police said.
Two men, aged 18 and 17, who were also inside the premises, were rescued by neighbours and treated for smoke inhalation.
They used ladders to help rescue residents inside the house before emergency services arrived.
Resident Sean Needham said he passed his six-year-old disabled son out of a window into his neighbour's arms.
Several neighbouring properties were evacuated due to a gas leak caused by the blaze.
Tributes were paid online to the three victims.
Katie Gough said: "Knowing the baby was only six months old is so heartbreaking, and 17 years of age is too young to die."
Jodie Mee wrote: "Rest in peace girls and Ed, Heaven has gained two beautiful girls and a strong boy. Thoughts go out to their family and all the people who knew them."
On Twitter, Immy wrote: "I feel so proud to have known someone who has been so brave and selfless, RIP Ed Green you won't be forgotten." | Gloucestershire's Championship captain Gareth Roderick will be out for six weeks after breaking his finger, reports BBC Radio Bristol.

Mr Orhan Koca, 32, who is originally from Turkey, denies murdering 22-year-old Mr Magee Jr, in west Belfast on 30 May.
A detective said police were concerned about the defendant absconding.
"Given the likelihood that a conviction would result in a significant sentence, this increases the chance of absconding," he said.
"In recent months several thousand pounds has gone through the defendant's account.
"This access to funds would give him the means to flee justice."
The detective said he was also concerned about interference with witnesses.
"The defendant is aware of several witnesses," he said. "The opportunity to interfere with evidence would be very real."
A prosecuting lawyer told Lisburn Magistrates Court that on 30 May, at 2.38am, police were called to Summerhill Park in west Belfast.
They found Mr Magee Jr lying in the road and bleeding heavily from stab wounds.
"Mr Magee had been at the home of his girlfriend, Miss Courtney Ward, and at 2am they ordered a pizza," said the prosecution.
"Shortly after 2.30am, Mr Magee Jr left the house by the rear exit and his girlfriend then heard screaming outside.
"When she left the house she saw two men standing over Mr Magee Jr trying to help him."
The lawyer outlined how Miss Ward was the estranged partner of the defendant and that she had started a relationship with the victim.
The court also heard that jeans, covered in Mr Magee Jr's blood, had been recovered from Beckett's Bar, where the defendant both worked and stayed.
The jeans were found close to items of clothing belonging to Mr Koca.
A defence solicitor said that the defendant had no criminal record in the UK.
